Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Chapter 264 Wei Jia's Trouble



The blue Maserati sped along the roads of Tianhai, the scenery on both sides of the street rapidly blurred into a retreating canvas.

Li Jing skillfully handled the steering wheel, the wind rushed in through the car window, tousling the strands of hair on his forehead.

He had just completed his last scene in the crew. After wrapping up, Wen Lan and the others presented him with flowers, marking a perfect end to his first acting experience.

According to the system task requirements, when the film is released a month later on May Day, as long as it garners sufficient box office returns and his role wins audience approval, he will receive a reward of one billion.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slightly curl his lips; feeling pleased and sensing the limitless expansive landscape of a future filled with carefree life unfolding before him.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Li Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the caller ID, and found it was Zhou Shun, whom he hadn't seen in days.

He casually pressed the answer button and calmly said, "Hey, Brother Shun."

"Brother, I have good news to tell you."

Zhou Shun's mature, raspy voice came through the receiver, carrying a hint of cheer.

"What good news?"

Li Jing was a bit surprised, continuing to drive attentively while asking.

"Remember the yacht my friend lent you guys to play with last time? Remember you told me you liked that yacht and wanted to buy one?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's expression shifted, a light flickered in his eyes, and he easily accelerated past a Volkswagen sedan in front.

Since the last National Day when he took his family out on the yacht, Li Jing had planted the desire to buy one himself.

He used to see those rich folks playing and cruising freely with yachts in films, yearning to have one of his own.

However, he wasn't familiar with the channels for buying a yacht, so he put aside the matter. Just casually mentioned it while having dinner with Zhou Shun later; surprisingly, Zhou Shun not only remembered but also brought news back to him in just over a month.

Li Jing slightly surprised, said: "Indeed, I do want to buy one. You got a channel for purchasing?"

"Of course, I've already helped you inquire about everything. If you genuinely want it, I can contact the dealer right now to take you to see it."

"That's perfect, I'm free this afternoon," Li Jing replied, "How about going to check it out this afternoon?"

"Great, I'll help you make contact immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jing felt pleased.

Imagining himself steering a yacht across the vast sea, his lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

"This is life."

...

Lishui City.

Wearing a lady's suit, Wei Jia was sitting in the spacious and bright office, her brows tightly furrowed.

The mountain-like stack of documents before her failed to attract her attention.

She held the phone in her hand, her mother's urgent yet assertive voice echoing from the receiver.

"Wei Jia, you're 30 years old, you can't keep being so headstrong, it's time to get married!"

The voice on the phone brooked no argument.

Wei Jia's face darkened slightly, she coldly retorted, "Mom, marriage isn't like eating, you can't just do it on command, I have my own thoughts."

"What thoughts? What could you be thinking? Aunt Wang's son Liu Kai is about to return to the country, I've mentioned him to you before, a really nice young man. I've already arranged for you to meet him, no matter what, you must see him this time."

The voice on the phone was severe and determined.

"Liu Kai?"

Wei Jia's brows furrowed deeper, expressing displeasure, "It was you who arranged the meeting, then you meet him, I won't go."

"You?!"

The voice on the phone sounded increasingly discontent, but still held back the anger, finally earnestly persuading:

"Wei Jia, can't you stop being so stubborn? Mom wouldn't harm you.

The guy has returned from abroad, handsome and successful, his career thriving, how could he not match you? Just a meeting won't hurt you."

Wei Jia resolutely said coldly: "I have met him twice before, absolutely no interest. He's excellent, but overconfident, arrogant, and we don't get along..."

"Overconfident? What's wrong with a man being confident? Moreover, he has reason to be confident, you..."

Listening to Wei Jia arguing with her family over the phone, her assistant Bai Rui, who was standing by to report on work, showed an awkward, tense expression, looking cautiously at Wei Jia, not daring to make a sound.

Not long after, Wei Jia angrily hung up the phone and tossed her mobile onto the desk.

"Unreasonable!" She bit her lip and complained, her prominent chest rising and falling slightly, visibly frustrated.

Bai Rui hesitated for a moment and then gently spoke, "President Wei, how about... you take President Li to meet the person and tell them you have a boyfriend, maybe... that could solve the problem?"

"Bring Li Jing along to meet?"

Wei Jia was stunned, then lowered her head, frowning, truly starting to contemplate the feasibility of this idea.

Bai Rui continued, "If President Li goes, it could both provoke Liu Kai into backing off and also test whether President Li is truly sincere in solving your trouble."

Wei Jia lifted her head to look at Bai Rui, paused, then fell back into contemplation.

Regarding this solution, she was somewhat intrigued but concerned it might make things more complicated.

On one hand, she didn't want to exploit Li Jing's feelings; on the other, this issue was indeed troublesome with seemingly no better resolution.

Most importantly, Li Jing was uncontrollable for her, given his character, she wasn't sure what he might do.

Wei Jia hesitated momentarily, still somewhat uncertain, asked: "Having Li Jing do such a thing, wouldn't it be inappropriate."

Bai Rui lightly nodded, stating, "President Wei, I understand your concerns. But this might be the only solution available now. How about planning it carefully first, minimizing potential negative impacts?"

Wei Jia sighed, "Guess that's the way it has to be, do you have any thoughts?"

Bai Rui thought for a moment and spoke, "You can first discuss this matter honestly with President Li to see his attitude. If he's willing to help, then plan a strategy together to ensure solving the problem without hurting his feelings."

Wei Jia nodded slightly, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Let's try it then; just uncertain what that guy's attitude will be."

After Bai Rui finished reporting the work and courteously exited the office.

Wei Jia picked up the phone again, pondering for a long time before finally dialing Li Jing's number.

"Hey, remember you promised to fulfill one of my requests? I've decided now, and I need your help."

"What kind of help?" Li Jing's curious voice came through the phone.

Wei Jia paused for a moment before earnestly saying, "Be my boyfriend, meet a man, and make him give up on me. Can you do that?"

After she finished speaking, the phone fell into silence, with no sound for a long time.

Wei Jia's once firm heart involuntarily wavered slightly, frowned and said, "What, you don't want to come with me to meet people, or you think you can't make him give up?"

"Neither."

Li Jing's voice finally came through the phone again, "I just feel that helping my woman get rid of other men is something I should do, no need for you to make it a request.

As for making him give up on you...you're my woman, he shouldn't even have that thought.

Although I am magnanimous, my woman must be loyal."

"You're quite adept at double standards."

Wei Jia habitually teased him, but hearing his words, her vivid red lips gently lifted without realizing it.

Experiencing being protected by a man, it was a first for her.

This feeling to Wei Jia was intriguing, accompanied by some inexplicable anticipation and joy.
