This young man is certainly not ordinary; once he encounters a storm, he transforms into a dragon. He has lived for many years and has seen all kinds of people, but has never t soone as young and resolute as Hao Jian, so he is determined to make friends with this young man.
Once befriended, he will definitely be of use in the future.
Director Wang saw that money couldn't sway Hao Jian, so he quickly caught up and handed his business card to Hao Jian.
"Young friend, if you ever need anything, feel free to contact . Here's my business card, please take it," Director Wang said.
Hao Jian glanced at it and finally accepted the card, before walking off with Liang Yuwei.
At this mont, a smile appeared on Director Wang's face, and he quietly walked back. Wang Yu approached him, looking puzzled, and asked, "Director Wang, he's just a young man who got lucky with so accidental wealth. Is it necessary to treat him like this?"
Director Wang just smiled and said nothing, his thoughts entirely on Hao Jian. Although his offer to buy the jade at a high price was rejected by Hao Jian, Hao Jian accepted his business card in the end. Since he accepted it, it ans there's room for negotiation on this matter.
So, how could he not be happy?
After a long ti, he snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Wang Yu beside him. He originally thought Wang Yu was quite capable, but after eting Hao Jian, he felt that Wang Yu was just average.
...
Hao Jian held the Imperial Green in his hand and led Liang Yuwei forward until they stopped at a noodle shop.
Hao Jian looked at Liang Yuwei, who was still shocked by how he casually won an Imperial Green.
He placed the Imperial Green in Liang Yuwei's hand and said, "Keep it safe. If you want to sell it, you can sell it to Director Wang from earlier; his offer is quite high. You probably won't get such a good price elsewhere. If you don't want to sell it, I can contact a few artisans to turn it into a beautiful piece of jewelry."
Liang Yuwei held the Imperial Green, feeling a bit surprised. Although Hao Jian borrowed money from her to buy it, it was still Hao Jian who bought it, so the ownership belonged to him.
But she was surprised at how easily Hao Jian gave it to her. Feeling it was too valuable to accept, she put the Imperial Green back in Hao Jian's hand.
She said, "No way! You won this jade through gambling; I can't take it. Besides, it's too valuable, I..."
Hao Jian once again placed the Imperial Green in Liang Yuwei's hand, saying, "It's just a piece of jade. If you want it, I can go gamble again and win more. So you should keep this; it doesn't an much to , but it could be very useful to you right now."
Liang Yuwei still didn't want to accept it, so Hao Jian took the Imperial Green and raised it high, saying, "If you don't want it, I could just smash it. It doesn't matter much to
anyway."
Seeing that Hao Jian was serious about smashing the Imperial Green, Liang Yuwei quickly took it from his hand.
Hao Jian laughed, "That's more like it. Just accept it. Besides, now that you have the jade, you can't ask for that ten thousand yuan from . Even if you do, I won't give it to you, haha..."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuwei couldn't help but laugh. She knew Hao Jian was joking to amuse her and would never actually ask him for that ten thousand yuan. The jade Hao Jian gave her was worth so much more.
At this point, Hao Jian rubbed his stomach and said, "You said you'd treat
to a al after we finished our business. Now that we're done, isn't it ti for that al?"
Before Liang Yuwei could respond, Hao Jian pulled her towards the nearest noodle shop.
The noodle shop owner was a middle-aged couple with honest faces. The shop was small, just modestly sized, but Hao Jian liked it, so he took a seat with Liang Yuwei.
As the shop was small, they hadn't hired any waitstaff. The lady owner ca over with a nu when she saw custors arriving.
"What would you like to eat?" the lady owner asked with a smile.
Hao Jian took a glance at the nu and without thinking said, "Two bowls of braised beef noodles!"
The lady owner imdiately wrote down the order for two bowls of braised beef noodles and told Hao Jian to wait a mont as the noodles would be ready soon.
As the lady owner left, Liang Yuwei suddenly kicked him lightly, though it didn't hurt much.
Hao Jian said, "What's wrong with you, kicking
out of nowhere?"
Liang Yuwei kicked casually out of habit and didn't expect Hao Jian to react so strongly, knowing he was just pretending.
She said, "Is this how you have a al with a girl? You didn't even let
see the nu or ask what I wanted, just ordering on your own. That's not very gentlemanly!"
Hao Jian finally realized what was going on and replied helplessly, "You know you're a girl, yet you're so violent. Can't you be a bit gentler?"
"You..." Liang Yuwei almost stood up in anger, but after thinking it over, she held herself back.
At this mont, Hao Jian suddenly looked at Liang Yuwei, staring at her without blinking, looking sowhat dazed. When Liang Yuwei noticed, her face inexplicably turned red.
Liang Yuwei said, "You're still looking? If you keep looking, believe it or not, I'll beat you back to your original shape."
"You're really beautiful!" Hao Jian blurted out.
Liang Yuwei was about to get angry, but for so reason, when these words ca out of Hao Jian's mouth, she felt a bit excited rather than the anger she had imagined.
Then she turned her face away, ignoring Hao Jian.
Soon after, the noodles arrived. The lady boss said, "Please enjoy," and then busied herself with serving other tables.
Hao Jian picked up his chopsticks and began eating the noodles rapidly. To be fair, he was a bit hungry. Today, he had only eaten the al Shu Ya made, and since then, he hadn't had anything else, so being hungry was quite understandable.
Seeing Hao Jian wolfing down his food, Liang Yuwei couldn't help but laugh.
Hao Jian watched Liang Yuwei eat her noodles, his expression frozen once again. He hadn't expected that soone with such a bold, tomboyish deanor would eat so delicately, taking small bites. She seed so ladylike, which surprised him quite a bit.
It turns out that people who seem strong on the outside have a fragile heart. Though appearing tough, the tomboy has a rather gentle soul. This changed Hao Jian's view of Liang Yuwei a little.
Noticing Hao Jian staring at her, Liang Yuwei told him to focus on eating his noodles and stop gawking.
Just then, a commotion started at the neighboring table.
Three or four young n sat at the next table, all in their youth. Each had pierced ears and long, colorful hair.
One guy, dressed in all black except for his red hair, suddenly slamd the table and said loudly, "Boss, why haven't my noodles arrived after all this ti?"
The lady boss responded, "Please wait a mont, your table's noodles will be served soon."
But a young guy with yellow hair suddenly slamd the table and yelled at the lady boss, "What? More waiting? Do you not want to do business?"
At this mont, the lady boss was carrying so bowls of noodles toward another table when the guy in black stopped her.
"Hey! Bring the noodles over here!"
The lady boss glanced and said, "Sir, these noodles are for this table. You arrived later than them, so you'll need to wait a bit!"
The guy in black couldn't take it anymore, standing up and angrily shouting, "Damn it, you don't appreciate politeness, huh? I told you to bring them over, and you still have words to say? Do you want to stop doing business?"
Saying this, the guy in black angrily strode toward the lady boss, scaring her into retreating.
At this mont, Liang Yuwei supported the lady boss from behind and said to the guy in black, "Don't you understand the rule of first co, first served? Can't you wait a bit longer since you just got here?"
The guy in black was stunned to see a stunning beauty standing up to him. But so what if she's pretty, he thought; if she dares talk back to , she's asking for trouble.
The guy in black postured as if he was going to make a move, angrily walking toward Liang Yuwei and swinging a punch.
Liang Yuwei was ready to defend herself when suddenly a hand appeared and caught the guy in black's swing.
Hao Jian had grabbed the hand of the guy in black, who tried to break free but couldn't, his face flushing in anger.
"Don't you know a man should never hit a woman?" Hao Jian said calmly.
At this mont, Liang Yuwei watched Hao Jian's back from behind, her mind a bit blank, not knowing what to think.
She's always been the one defending others, and this was the first ti soone defended her. It left her feeling a bit flattered. Just watching Hao Jian's silhouette stirred up so strange feelings within her—a sensation she couldn't quite na, but it was like she had butterflies in her stomach.
As the guy in black was restrained, the young n at the table all stood up.
The yellow-haired youth pointed at Hao Jian and shouted nacingly, "Damn it, are you causing trouble?"
