Chapter 259 Yan Ning Takes the Initiative... (Please Subscribe to the Large Chapter)
Half an hour later, the black Land Rover Range Rover slowly stopped in front of the Maple Forest Building.
Zhang Jingdong first sent a text message to Yan Ning: Are you busy right now? I'm downstairs at your building.
Less than ten seconds later, Yan Ning replied: You can come up.
Zhang Jingdong then got out of the car, entered the building, and took the elevator up.
Upon arriving at Yan Ning's company, the receptionist proactively greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yan has been waiting for you!"
Zhang Jingdong even noticed a hint of excitement in the receptionist's tone, and he nodded at her before heading straight in.
Just as he walked in, he ran into He Jieyu.
He Jieyu teased: "Mr. Zhang, during the past few days when you were not in Jiangdu, our Mr. Yan has been lost in thought and unable to eat or sleep."
"Now, just to see you, Mr. Yan even sent me out early. It seems that your relationship is becoming increasingly intimate! So... when are you going to give me the final payment?"
Zhang Jingdong smirked and replied evasively: "Is driving the Bugatti Veyron enjoyable?"
He Jieyu blinked her beautiful eyes: "It's enjoyable, but payment is payment, and driving is driving, Mr. Zhang. You wouldn't be unreasonable, would you?
"Besides, you were the one who offered to lend me the car in the first place. Last time when I tried to return it, you insisted that I continue to drive it."
Zhang Jingdong laughed and shook his head: "Last time I let you continue to drive, but I never said it was for free! The few days before were free, but these days were actually a rental."
"According to the current rental market rates, a Bugatti Veyron rents for at least 3000 a day. I'll give you a 40% discount, so that's 1800. We can settle the account when you really want to return the car."
"Zhang Jingdong, you can't be serious, you're someone who takes advantage of people's weaknesses."
Zhang Jingdong extended his hand: "How about you return the car to me now?"
He Jieyu paused and then said indignantly: "You're really a businessman through and through, you actually trapped me by letting me get addicted to driving your car first, and then you're asking me for money, hmph..."
"So do you want to return the car to me now or not?"
He Jieyu glared at Zhang Jingdong resentfully: "You're ruthless! But a 40% discount won't do, it has to be 70% off, 900 a day!"
"No, the lowest I can go is 50% off, 1500 a day."
"Then let's settle for 60% off, 1200 a day."
Zhang Jingdong then sighed: "Alright, since you're not only my insider but also my future business partner, I'll take a loss. 60% off it is then!"
He Jieyu rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
Zhang Jingdong quickly said: "Hey... after all, my car is worth tens of millions. I'm letting you continue to drive it and even gave you such a steep discount, and you still dare to be mad at me!"
"Forget it, give me the car keys, and I'll give you the final payment tomorrow!"
He Jieyu hurriedly said: "Boss, my mistake... I truly made a mistake. I'm grateful, I sincerely apologize to you, is that okay now?"
Zhang Jingdong, barely holding back a smile: "Forget the apology, I want to ask you something, and you must answer truthfully."
"Sure, ask away."
"During the days I was gone, did Ye Zhinan come to your company?"
He Jieyu suddenly looked distressed: "…Mr. Yan didn't want you to know about this."
"I understand."
Zhang Jingdong turned to leave.
"Wait a second!"
Zhang Jingdong stopped in his tracks and turned around: "What's up?"
"I can assure you that Mr. Yan definitely didn't have anything to do with Ye Zhinan. The reason she didn't want you to know was because she was afraid you'd have a conflict with him!"
"I get it... Thanks!"
Zhang Jingdong turned around, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and arrived at Yan Ning's office door.
He knocked symbolically twice, then pushed the door and went in.
Immediately, he was taken aback, because there was no one behind the office desk.
Just then, the door to the adjacent lounge was suddenly pushed open, and he saw Yan Ning dressed in a claret cheongsam, gracefully walking out.
Zhang Jingdong was frozen on the spot!
He had seen similar scenes before, performed by the same beauty before him, but this time Yan Ning was wearing a short cheongsam that he had never seen before!
The skirt's hem barely reached the middle of her thighs, not even passing the knees, and there was even a cutout design below the neck!
The style of this dress could almost be considered somewhat provocative.
Tsk tsk, the powerful female boss of Maple Forest Group suddenly plays this game with you, can you handle it?
Zhang Jingdong stood there dumbfounded for a full ten seconds, swallowed hard, and then quickly approached her.
"Mr. Yan, this cheongsam doesn't seem like the one I bought for you before, right?"
Yan Ning, unfazed, replied: "Why, you don't like it?"
"Of course not, I not only like it, but I also see your full sincerity in it."
"After not seeing each other for a few days, you even know how to give me a surprise now, tsk tsk, you are truly becoming more adept at romance!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jingdong took Yan Ning's waist in his arms, gazing closely at her beautiful face.
Yan Ning shyly turned her head away at first, then turned back to meet Zhang Jingdong's gaze: "Considering I've surprised you so much, can you give me a reward?"
Zhang Jingdong stretched out his left hand: "Of course, you can make any request, and I swear, with the level of surprise you've offered, if you want me to pluck stars from the sky for you right now, I wouldn't hesitate for a second."
"It's not that drastic, but I haven't fully decided on the reward yet, I'll let you know when I have. However, now that you've agreed, you mustn't back out later on."
Zhang Jingdong's grasp on her waist tightened slightly: "That will depend on your performance next... Kiss me!"
