That night, Fang Junhao swore he never wanted to see Feng Pin ever again, but two nights later, he helplessly called her for help, slapping himself int he face.
Feng Ping was extremely fascinated as to why he called her, “Did Uncle Fang cut you with knife? Poor Junhao, I"m coming to save you, you have to hold on Junhao…”
Fang Junhao shamelessly asked, “Be my date.”
Feng Ping sighed, “Junhao, you know I—”
“I"ll pay you four hundred dollars an hour.” Fang Junhao cut her off and very arrogantly waved his hands, “That"s not a problem for me to pay.”
Feng Ping sighed again, “Junhao, ah, Junhao, after your lecture last time, I also think that it was a shameful matter. What kind of ident.i.ty do I have, how could I ask for money?”
Hearing this, Fang Junhao ceaselessly nodded his head, fawning over her, “En, en, as long as you finally realized…then I"ll come pick you up in a little…”
Before he could finish, Feng Ping suddenly raised her voice, “Too cheap!”
“Cheap?” He felt that his brain was a little slow.
“Exactly! This price was way too cheap, not befitting my status at all. So I have decided that I will add another number to the original price to change it to four million dollars, effective starting today!”
Fang Junhao didn"t speak.
“Junhao, then will still come pick me up in a little bit? Junhao?…h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo h.e.l.lo…”
Fang Junhao was so angry he threw his phone away.
Originally, he already had a plan in place. For tonight"s charity auction he should have accompanied his little sister Fang Junyi, but who could have expected for her to not only prepare her own evening dress but also prepare her own boyfriend, a young and handsome youth back home. It wasn"t until six in the evening when this handsome man named Richard came to pick her up, that Fang Junhao realized that he was carelessly tossed aside by his own little sister. The event was right in front of his eyes, who was he supposed to ask to go with him?
If he didn"t go, that old man would definitely throw a tantrum since even he had to make an appearance.
Speaking of that, that old man recently became very pa.s.sionate about charity work these past few years. He couldn"t tell if it was because he truly had high tastes or was pretending to have high tastes.
After spending half the day scrolling through his contacts list, he still hadn"t found an appropriate person, breaking out into a sweat. He hated to death this Richard that appeared from thin air, and then he blamed his little sister for not giving him a heads up. Helpless, he coud only call Feng Ping again.
This time, before he could could open his mouth, Feng Ping spoke first, “Sorry Junhao, I can"t help you, I"ve already promised someone else. Ah, my doorbell rang, good luck.”
Fang Junhao threw his phone once again.
He was sent to boarding school since young, and after he became an adult he spent his time managing the hotels in Europe, so all of his friends were also there. Even though he had some friends in the country, he had very few female friends that he was close to. But he was Fang Junhao, this type of small thing wouldn"t cause him too much trouble. He was just afraid that the old man would be unhappy, but he also had no other solution.
After spending some time to rea.s.sure himself, he flipped through the list of business cards he had before calling a managment company to ask about the price, explaining that he was in dire need of a model to help him save face. He was willing to pay any price, even willing to pay upfront, with the sole condition being that the model had to be at Shiguang hotel before seven thirty.
The other party naturally agreed, “Which number did you take a fancy to?”
Fang Junhao held his mouse and clicked around randomly. At this time the picture of number 007 was jumping out, and taking a look, he felt that she was okay and agreed, “Number 007.”
As such, the problem about the date was resolved, and even pulled out a string of fate. Regarding this, we"ll talk about this piece of gossip in detail next time.
When model 007 arrived at Shiguang hotel, she was immediately taken to the powder room to get ready. In a moment, someone brought out a branded evening gown in her size as well as shoes, accessories, purse, etc. to match. Afterwards, she boarded Fang Junhao"s eye-catching Porsche as they drove towards the banquet venue.
This type of reckless driving made 007 dizzy as she couldn"t even sense what direction she was facing, only knowing that this handsome man in front of her was called Fang Junhao and nothing else. But based on the speed of his driving, she guess that he was probably an expert racer.
When Fang Junhao finally arrived, he took a glance at the time. Thankfully they were only late by a few minutes. He sped so fast on the way here that 007 was frightened til her face went pale. He pushed up a smile and gently asked her, “Are you alright?” but he didn"t even wait for her reply before opening the door for her and taking her into the big hall.
007"s eyes brightened when she entered: Wow! So many famous people.
Indeed, tonight there were many wealthy and famous people in attendance. In this sort of environment, even Fang Junhao didn"t stand out as his father took the brunt of it, not noticing his tardiness.
When he entered, his gaze swept the entire place like a machine. When he saw the slate gray evening gown on Feng Ping with her face full of makeup that made her look an entire decade older, as well as her male partner, he almost vomited blood.
That person was actually his dad, Fang Botao.
Are you serious? That old man knows so many female celebrities but he wanted to fight over a date with him, how ridiculous. He couldn"t help but curse in Italian. Thankfully, 007 who was next to him was wholly focused on movie queen Xia Yao, so she didn"t pay him any attention.
Fang Junhao followed her gaze and rather than Xia Yao, he noticed Tang Jianan first. Oh, look at his gaze, even though there"s at least ten meters of distance between them, he could still see his despise and ridiculue. This made Fang Junhao hate those two even more.
Following the usual protocol, the banquet proceed with the chairman"s speech full of flowery words that were clearly just asking for money. After spending a great deal of effort to sit this this long speech, Fang Junhao moved next to Feng Ping, praising her, “You"re a genius.”
“Thank you.” Feng Ping shamelessly accepted his ridicule and turned around to compliment his date, “This xiaojie is very pretty, how should I call you?”
Fang Junhao just realized that he didn"t even know her name. Thankfully 007 introduced herself, “My name is Qiu Tian.”
“I"m Feng Ping, Junhao"s…” Feng Ping paused and suddenly laughed as she changed her words, “Father"s friend.”
Isn"t she purposely trying to cause a misunderstanding?
Fang Junhao was stifled, knowing that he was not her opponent. Tilting his head, he saw that Qiu Tian"s face was also full of questions, so he hooked an arm around her waist and stiffly threw down a sentence, “Please excuse us.”
Feng Ping forced herself to stop from laughing, almost causing an internal injury. When she turned around, she saw that Tang Jianan had somehow appeared behind her. His black eyes cold stared at her, “Feng xiaojie, I really admire your methods.”
Feng Ping felt even more joy inside and pretended to be shy, “What can I say, my connections are too good.”
Hearing this Tang Jianan"s grip tightened on hsi wine gla.s.s, “Does Fang Botan know that you were on a date with his son the other night?”
Feng Ping gently twirled her champagne, taking two sips before speaking, “I don"t think so?”
Tang Jianan pretended to take a observe her (actually, he"s been observing her for a while now), before ridiculing, “Your get up sure is professional.”
“Oh?” This actually made Feng Ping pause for a moment.
“Such a heavy air, isn"t it quite suitable for Fang Botan"s age?” Tang Jianan curled his lips upward.
Feng Ping finally laughed, revealing her white teeth. Under the lights, the contrast between her teeth and her lips was even more apparent.
She turned her head to see if Xia Yao was around before taking a step closer to Tang Jianan, lowering her voice, “Ah"Nan, you didn"t fall in love with me did you?”
Tang Jianan was stunned, “What?”
Feng Ping looked into his eyes, “Otherwise…why do you always speak with such a sour tone? Regardless of what men I choose to a.s.sociate with, I don"t think any of it concerns you?”
Tang Jianan was completely speechless.
Feng Ping let out a sigh, “Aye, actually you"re not too bad either, it"s just…the brooch that you sent last time, the diamond on top…was a little small.”
Tang Jianan"s face completely blackened.
But Feng Ping wasn"t finished, “I know, you have a lot of money, but what"s the use of having money? You"re not even willing to spend it on a girl…”
Tang Jianan lost control and grabbed her hand.
“Shh!” Feng Ping blew at him, bring forth the scent of her perfume, “Don"t be so hasty Ah"Nan, this isn"t a bar.”
Tang Jianan tightly held her hand as a weird light shone in his eyes.
Seeing Xia Yao walking in their direction, she laughed and raised her voice, “It was nice meeting you Mr. Tang. Oh, Xia xiaojie, I"m your fan. You"re such a stunner tonight.”
Tang Jianan directly called her out, “You"re so fake.”
This time, it was Feng Ping"s turn to feel awkward.
She didn"t expect that Tang Jianan would be so childish. Thankfully Xia Yao was more understanding. Although her gaze was full of suspicions, she still held a mesmerizing smile, “Thank you. Jianan, let"s go greet som people over there.”
Tang Jianan slowly let go over her hand, “Until next time, Feng xiaojie.”
Seeing his deep gaze, Feng Ping suddenly felt that provoking him was not a smart thing to do.
