Young Master in Flower City

5 PM.

This time marks the end of the workday for Qingcheng International.

At this moment, the entrance of Qingcheng International is severely congested with traffic, and all the luxury sports cars parked there belong to many young handsome rich men waiting to pick up their girlfriends after work.

The goddesses of Qingcheng International are used to this scene. After all, Qingcheng International attracts all the beauties of Celestial Capital, and at quitting time, it becomes a paradise for men.

Even a dozen traffic police are here to direct traffic, which has become a routine for these officers. They come to the entrance of Qingcheng International every day at this time.

Qingcheng International, Planning Department.

"Tianyu, are you free tonight? How about I treat you to dinner?" Lin Xin's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"No thanks!" Xiao Tianyu replied bluntly, while Lin Xin smiled faintly and said, "I know your salary is limited. Don't worry, it's on me tonight. Don't worry about not having money to pay!"

Before Xiao Tianyu could respond, Lin Xin continued, "I heard that a new Western restaurant opened on Zhenguan Avenue today. Why don't we have dinner there and try out the food?"

"Lin Xin, you don't have to be like this, inviting him but not us. Are you trying to get ahead? No way!"

"Tianyu, have dinner with me. Everything's covered, even if it's a hotel room or something, it's all reimbursed. I guarantee you won't spend a penny!"

At these words, Xiao Tianyu was speechless, cursed by his good looks. No matter where he went, women were all over him. Being too handsome was his curse.

"Tianyu, come on, I guarantee you'll have so much fun you won't want to leave. You can do whatever you want with me!"

Xiao Tianyu gazed at the ceiling with his dark eyes, pretending to be deep in thought. Was this Qingcheng International or a red-light district?

Then, Xiao Tianyu spoke up, "I have something to do tonight, maybe another day!"

Rejected?

The women's eyes flashed. They had said such blatant things, yet this guy resisted temptation. Was he pretending to be pure, or was he not interested?

At this moment, all the beauties in the Planning Department surrounded Xiao Tianyu, except for one, Jiang Ya. After getting ready, she slung her purse over her shoulder, clicked her high heels, and left the Planning Department.

"Don't you guys have to clock out?" Suddenly, Luo Bing walked in with an icy demeanor, startling all the women. They feared Luo Bing would make them work overtime, so they all gave Xiao Tianyu a flirtatious look and left the office.

Luo Bing's beautiful eyes gazed at Xiao Tianyu and said indifferently, "Don't forget about tomorrow's party!"

"Got it!" Xiao Tianyu replied faintly, then casually walked out of the Planning Department, leaving Luo Bing slightly stunned. Does this guy really dislike me that much?

...

Qingcheng International Entrance.

Jiang Ya had just left Qingcheng International, intending to head to Celestial Universe Hospital, but a limited edition sports car blocked her way. Ignoring it, she tried to bypass the car, only to see the car door open and a sharply dressed young man step out, his eyes unabashedly scanning Jiang Ya's graceful figure.

"Get lost!" Jiang Ya displayed a hint of disgust, yet the young man wore a mischievous grin, showing no intent of moving.

"Taozi, it's been a year, and you still haven't gotten this chick? Is your charm not enough? Does she not fancy you?" At this moment, a teasing voice rang out. Jiang Tao turned to see a somewhat handsome young gentleman in a suit, his arm around a beauty, strolling over.

The woman in his arms was named Chen Lan. She was dressed provocatively, with heavy makeup—a clear sign she was not a respectable woman.

But Chen Lan worked at Qingcheng International and was even a department manager. She wielded considerable power there. The man with her was Mo Jun, Chen Lan's latest boyfriend, and another rich heir.

Of course, Chen Lan was willing to date Mo Jun because of his background.

Jiang Tao said, "A cooked duck can't fly away. Tonight, she will be mine. I've already booked the room!"

"Really?" Mo Jun glanced at Jiang Ya and said, "As I know, this woman is not easy to deal with, not like my Lan'er. Her skills are top-notch!"

"You're so bad!" Chen Lan feigned bashfulness, nuzzling against Mo Jun with a coquettish smile, making Mo Jun's heart itch uncontrollably, "Am I bad? It seems like you're the one who insists every time, wanting me. How about we go for another three hundred rounds tonight?"

"Shameless!" Jiang Ya could no longer tolerate it and huffed coldly, "Move!"

But Jiang Tao did move aside. As Jiang Ya lifted her foot to leave, Jiang Tao said, "1.2 million for your first night, I'm sure you won't refuse?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ya halted, her beautiful eyes turning to Jiang Tao, who shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Your mother is in the hospital and needs 1.2 million for surgery. This money could save a life. If you refuse, I promise Celestial Universe Hospital will..."

"Jiang Tao, what do you mean!" Lin Xin from the Planning Department happened to pass by. Jiang Tao turned his gaze, looking Lin Xin up and down, swallowing before continuing, "Of course, if you wish, the 1.2 million is all yours!"

"Get lost!" Lin Xin shouted, looking at Jiang Tao with disdain from his greedy stare. Then she turned to Jiang Ya, "Don't be fooled by this guy. Let's go. As for the 1.2 million for surgery, tomorrow the Planning Department will raise it for you!"

With that, Lin Xin pulled Jiang Ya along to leave, but Mo Jun blocked their way. Mo Jun's lecherous eyes scanned Lin Xin, revealing a hint of greed. One had to admit that Lin Xin was much prettier than Chen Lan in his arms.

"If you go like this, by tomorrow, the 1.2 million for the surgery will become 2.4 million. I want to see how you muster this money for Jiang Ya!" Once Jiang Tao finished, he continued, "Jiang Ya, you should think carefully. Your first night can save your mother's life. Weigh what's more important!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya's body shivered violently, her beautiful eyes locking on Jiang Tao with a complicated expression.

1.2 million becoming 2.4 million?

Lin Xin was stunned, then her expression turned cold. Her beautiful eyes turned toward Jiang Tao as she spoke, "No wonder the surgery cost is so high. It's all your doing, isn't it? I see now. You're using your dad's position as the head surgeon at Celestial Universe Hospital to intentionally inflate Jiang Ya's mother's surgery fee just to get Jiang Ya. You're truly despicable!"

That morning in the Planning Department, they were puzzled as to why Jiang Ya's mother's surgery cost was so high. Lin Xin finally understood; someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.

"What does despicable mean?" Jiang Tao smiled indifferently, "I've pursued Jiang Ya for a year, yet she pretends to be high and mighty, never giving me a second glance. Today, I'll let Jiang Ya experience what it feels like to become my plaything!"
