The man took the initiative to stop his car in front of her, waiting for her to co closer before calling out to her from the inside of the car, "Hey, kind lady, where are you going? May I give you a ride?"
ng Jingfen was both shocked and delighted.
Delighted because such a noble person was willing to treat her so gently and kindly.
Shocked because if sothing’s too good to be true, it probably is. Perhaps the man was a con artist, or even worse, a kidnapper?
It was a possibility.
Despite his seemingly refined appearance, everything about him could be counterfeit.
Even the car could be a rental.
Because of her caution, she quickly declined, "Thank you, but there’s no need. I’ve already arrived."
Indeed, she was almost there.
The place where she lived was just over a hundred ters from her workplace, and she had already covered half the distance. She was almost there.
The man didn’t insist. He simply smiled gently, "Well, then, goodbye."
His voice was very pleasant, gentle and magnetic. ng Jingfen couldn’t help but entertain fanciful thoughts, but she quickly stopped herself.
What are you thinking? He could just be a scamr looking to deceive you.
Even if he isn’t, such a person is not soone you should even aspire to.
Wishing for soone like him would only lead to your own humiliation.
ng Jingfen quickly put thoughts of him out of her mind.
However, unexpectedly, a few days later, she saw the sa man inspecting the workshop with factory leaders. Although he, like her, put on a mask before entering the workshop, he adjusted his mask midway and she recognized him instantly.
Then, she overheard her colleagues saying that he was a big client from Zhejiang Province, and since Zhejiang Province is among the wealthiest in the country, he must be extrely rich; otherwise, he wouldn’t wear a watch worth several million.
Oh, so he wasn’t a scamr. ng Jingfen felt a bit happy, but she still didn’t dare to let her thoughts run wild.
A few days later, on her way ho from work, she encountered him again.
He was still driving, pulling up beside her and calling out, "Hello there, hey, I know you work at the electronics factory I’ve been collaborating with. I’ve seen you several tis; have you seen ?"
ng Jingfen naturally wouldn’t refuse to talk to a man of his standing.
Besides, what if she lost her job because of it?
It was tiring work here, but it was sothing she could handle, and many people sought after it without success. She didn’t want to lose it.
She responded with a smile, "I’ve seen you too. I heard you are from Zhejiang, is that right?"
"Yes, that’s correct. So, I’m not familiar with this area. Could you be my guide and show around?"
ng Jingfen did not expect him to say that and was montarily undecided.
The man said with a smile, "Are you worried that I’m a scamr? If so, how about your husband guides instead? It would not go unrewarded; how does one hundred yuan an hour sound?"
ng Jingfen blushed and shook her head, "I don’t have a husband..."
"Oh, I’m sorry," the man quickly apologized before continuing, "It’s alright, actually, I’m also recently divorced. Well, if you don’t want to guide , then let take you out to dinner as an apology for my earlier presumption."
Hearing that he was now single too, ng Jingfen felt sowhat tempted.
What does it matter if he looks down on her and is just playing around?
It’s not like she would be the one losing out, right?
After hesitating for a mont, she nodded in agreent, "Okay, I’ll be your guide, but keep your money."
"Thank you."
As he spoke, the man got out of the car, ca around to her, and opened the passenger door to let her in.
After the car started moving, he spoke gently, "Let introduce myself. My na is Gu Minghao. May I ask your na?"
While speaking, he handed her a business card with a hint of fragrance on it.
ng Jingfen glanced at it, placed the card in her backpack, and responded gently, "My na is ng Jingfen, ’ng’ as in ncius, ’Jing’ as in quiet, ’Fen’ as in fragrance."
"A beautiful fragrance, what a lovely na."
Gu Minghao’s sincere praise made ng Jingfen feel quite embarrassed.
She had always disliked her own na, feeling it lacked the appeal of ng Chuyue, ng Yuzhu, and ng Lingi.
