Afterwards, Li Jing conversed with Peter in Spanish and other languages.
Peter could barely understand, only able to catch a few familiar words.
But recalling Li Jing’s fluent replies in languages he had mastered before, Peter was sure that Li Jing was not talking nonsense, but truly proficient in so many languages.
He couldn’t help exclaiming, "President Li, how many languages do you actually know?"
Li Jing, with a calm deanor, said in an unruffled tone, "About fifteen."
"Fifteen?"
Peter’s eyes were full of surprise, "President Li, you are simply the person I know who speaks the most languages, no, you are the most outstanding peer I’ve ever t.
If you ever need help in the future, please do not hesitate to ask , and I will definitely help you unconditionally!"
Dai Min, standing nearby, was frozen in place, her mouth slightly open, at a loss for words.
She had originally intended to question and mock Li Jing, but now she felt completely deflated, suddenly feeling like a clown.
Peter noticed his girlfriend’s embarrassnt, tugged at her, gave her a way out, and said, "Darling, our table is ready, let’s go over quickly."
Dai Min nodded sowhat absentmindedly, giving Li Jing one last look.
Just then, Li Jing also looked over at her, and she hurriedly averted her gaze, not daring to make eye contact with him, and even neglected to greet Shi Yang.
She kept her head down, quickly following Peter away, much like a wild dog fleeing with its tail between its legs.
Seeing Dai Min leave, Shi Yang felt especially satisfied inside.
After years of rivalry with her, it was the first ti she had managed to put Dai Min in an awkward position in person, and she felt a deep sense of relief.
Turning her head, she looked at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, you were amazing. I’ve never felt so at ease before!"
"What, have you forgotten what you should call again?"
Hearing this, Shi Yang paused for a mont, then said, "Alright, alright, I’ll call you brother, alright? Brother, brother, brother."
This ti, Shi Yang had no resistance, and even called him a few more tis.
Li Jing glanced at her, noticing a considerable change in Shi Yang’s attitude towards him.
He understood that having money wouldn’t change Shi Yang’s view of him much, but the capability and linguistic talent he just displayed did indeed alter her perception in a significant way.
He didn’t point it out but only said, "As long as you rember, don’t make remind you again, okay? Otherwise, there’s a punishnt waiting."
Shi Yang widened her beautiful eyes, pretending to threaten, "You dare punish ? My grandfather won’t let you off!"
Then she imdiately softened, "Alright, alright, I won’t forget again, brother!"
Hearing Shi Yang willingly call him brother, Li Jing nodded in satisfaction.
Shi Yang seed to rember sothing and couldn’t help asking, "By the way, since you’re proficient in so many languages, why did you need a translator at the art gallery earlier?"
Li Jing guessed she would ask this and naturally replied, "I have a lot of money, so I like to spend it to hire a foreign beauty to do the translating. It’s like knowing how to cook but wanting to hire a chef to make als, is that so bad?"
"???
Shi Yang widened her beautiful eyes, opened her mouth to argue, but found that what he said actually made sense.
After leaving the French restaurant, Shi Yang felt particularly cheerful, even her steps were lighter, and she proactively offered to give Li Jing a ride ho.
On the road, Shi Yang, while driving, glanced at Li Jing in the passenger seat.
She hesitated for a mont before asking, "Brother, are you planning to travel to Yashi in a couple of days?"
Although calling him "brother" was still sowhat unnatural for Shi Yang, it was clear she was less resistant than before, and Li Jing didn’t need to remind her anymore.
Li Jing nodded, "Yes, why?"
Shi Yang said, "Nothing much, I’m planning to go to Yashi later to take a few sets of photos and wanted to ask how long you’ll be there, maybe we could et up.
Also, since it’s your first ti going to Yashi, if you find any places unfamiliar, I can help, you can contact if you encounter any problems."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing was a bit surprised and glanced at her.
Compared to before, Shi Yang’s attitude now seed like a normal interaction between friends, with a very noticeable change.
Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh and said, "What, you don’t think I’m a scumbag anymore? You’re not afraid I’ll trick you? You’re even willing to co closer to ?"
Shi Yang pouted, raising her eyebrows and said, "I’m not afraid of you, let alone afraid you’ll trick .
If you dare trick , I’ll tell my grandfather."
Although saying so, Li Jing could hear that Shi Yang’s resistance to him had reduced substantially.
He thought for a mont and replied, "Alright, I’ll probably be in Yashi for about half a month, but it depends on how I feel. If you want to et, just call ."
"Okay, it’s a deal then."
As she spoke, Shi Yang seed to suddenly realize sothing and turned her head to stare at Li Jing, "You haven’t saved my number yet, have you?"
Li Jing was taken aback, quickly checking his phone, and sheepishly chuckled, "No worries, I can save it now."
Seeing this, Shi Yang was speechless, pouting and too lazy to bother with him.
In her interactions with Li Jing, Shi Yang always felt sowhat thwarted.
After getting out of Shi Yang’s car, Li Jing returned to the villa lent to him by Chen Wenwu.
He hadn’t been resting at ho for long when a ssage from the system popped into his mind: "Congratulations to the host for exceeding one billion in total savings, unlocking a new feature."
Another new feature was unlocked?
Li Jing was slightly startled and quickly sat up from the sofa.
Soon after, the system’s voice echoed again in his mind: "The new feature is points purchase permission; you can buy one point for two hundred million, and the purchased points share the sa function as system reward points. You can enter the lottery when you reach ten points."
