The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

"Alright, since you're so patient, let me teach you a trick for free, kid. Back in the day, when I was your age, pretty girls like the campus belles were snapped up by other successful men. Now that I'm a successful man, can you compete?"

"..."

"Alright, if you don't leave soon, your store manager will have issues. You're not going to be rude and hit me, are you?" Li Yan laughed. Bai Feijin really wanted to hit him, but since Li Yan mentioned it first, he left reluctantly.

"Successful man? You?" As soon as Bai Feijin walked away, Wen Qianyi burst into laughter, covering her mouth, unable to see how he resembled a successful man.

Li Yan grabbed a French fry and jokingly acted like he was going to throw it at her. "Don't I look like one? Even if I'm not, aren't you a successful woman? The fact that this successful woman is mistaken as my girlfriend isn't me puffing myself up, it's to complement you!"

"Sure, whatever you say! Big—uncle!" Wen Qianyi quickly asked curiously, "Tell me, what's really going on? How did you become a coach?"

"Just eat. There's nothing much to say."

"Hmm, let me think... Paradise Group has a lot of beauties, but your lazy reputation is well-known, and no one wants to be your girlfriend. Helplessly, you have to seek out new resources. On one hand, you're launching an attack on Director Hai Fu, whom no one dares pursue, and on the other, you're pretending to be successful and acting as some big coach, going to universities to hook up with naive female students..."

Li Yan felt a bit embarrassed. "Please, you're making me sound like such a loser that no one wants."

"Hehe... You're not a loser; it's just that the company has too many diamond men like Director Ye. The young ladies waiting for marriage are so dazzled by them that naturally, you're out of the picture." Wen Qianyi comforted, "The fact that you can carve out a new path shows you have the wisdom of Tian Ji's horse racing. If you apply that to your work, it's pretty impressive."

Li Yan choked on his cola, "Cough... Actually, I'm already a married man; it's not that bad."

"I understand, you're speaking in future tense; eventually, you will be married." Wen Qianyi continued to comfort him and kindly suggested, "Actually, at your age, playing around isn't that interesting anymore. The purpose of dating is to get married, so in that sense, the line with Hai Fu seems more reliable. After all, she's a well-qualified, golden bachelorette, unlike the young college girls who need coaxing, companionship, pampering, and love. Do you still have that kind of energy?"

"I definitely have the energy, but patience is another story. But why can I only pursue bachelorettes or students? Isn't there a perfectly suitable and attractive woman with great qualifications right in front of me?" Li Yan joked.

Wen Qianyi gave a charming smile, "Talking about me? But you should know, I've grown out of the age for romantic dreams. Plus, I'm a practical woman; real estate, cars, pets, shopping expenses... they all require money. I'm a saleswoman striving for performance and commissions, not living as freely as Backpack Brother."

At this point, she gave a sly smile, almost saying something, then stopping halfway: "...Actually, if you could earn a ten-thousand-dollar commission in a month, it would prove your capability, and I might consider accepting your invitation for a date!"

Li Yan found it amusing; to motivate, she even used a date as bait. But he wouldn't fall for it. Knowing her shrewdness, the so-called date would probably just be a meal together. Given their current relationship, they've even had drinks together, so why bother working so hard for a multi-million deal, striving for that ten-thousand-dollar commission?

Wen Qianyi also laughed, "See, my requirement stumps you, right? So, Backpack Brother, you should go for something ready-made! Although Hai Fu isn't in sales, she's been working hard for years. With an outstanding job performance, she earns a good salary and bonuses. Judging from her look, she's definitely thrifty and probably doesn't spend much. Given your low-maintenance lifestyle, she's perfect for you."

"Isn't that encouraging me to freeload? Then I should go for President Zhang Yurong instead."

"You're not the only one who wants to pursue Zhang Yurong, are you? Didn't Ye Jiahong become your scapegoat on an impulse? I don't even see Ye Jiahong having a chance, let alone you. Hai Fu is a more realistic option! Her appearance may be conservative, but if she changes those ugly glasses, gets a new hairstyle, and dresses up, she'll surely surprise everyone."

Having seen another side of Hai Fu, Li Yan was a bit surprised by Wen Qianyi's insight. As a fellow woman, Wen Qianyi saw things more clearly than most.

"As for her strict personality and attitude, hehe, maybe with your love, she wouldn't be like that. Many people have two sides; maybe after work, she doesn't even get angry. Furthermore, since you're not in the administrative department, it doesn't affect you at all. In my opinion, she will definitely make you feel it's worth it. Alternatively, you could go for someone with similar simple needs like Huang Ying, which should be much more suitable than college girls. Backpack Brother, you don't possess the vibrant youth that those young guys have."

Li Yan laughed, raising his cola, "Thank you for your advice, Sister Qianyi. But Backpack Brother wants to say that relationships and investments or business aren't the same. You can't solely focus on return ratios, whether it's worthwhile, or which is the most superior. You're treating Hai Fu like a client or a business deal. It's not just about rationality; it should also be about feelings and letting things flow naturally!"

Wen Qianyi paused, seeming thoughtful. Indeed, her earlier analysis was based on what's most valuable and suitable, overlooking the immeasurable emotional side.
