Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 94: Chapter 91: I Employed a Honey Trap on Her (Large Chapter, Please Subscribe)_2

The other party was first shocked, then quickly pocketed the money, and said with a fawning face: ”I’ll let you through, but you can’t drive over to the competition site. If the leaders see, I’ll be in trouble.”

Zhang Jingdong immediately pulled out another 300 and handed it to the person.

The man’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets in surprise as he quickly pocketed the money again.

Then he declared magnanimously: ”Boss, you can park anywhere once you get in. My uncle is the vice-chancellor here. If anyone gives you trouble, just say I let you in, and I’ll take care of the rest!”

After saying that, he gestured to the security guard in the booth ahead: ”Raise the barrier!”

Turning back to Zhang Jingdong, he smiled with nearly fawning respect: ”Boss, please go on in!”

Zhang Jingdong smiled nonchalantly: ”Thank you!”

With that, he drove into the school.

And headed straight to the vicinity of the competition venue.

Zhang Jingdong looked at the large banner in the distance that read ”Super Girl Audition Site” and immediately burst into laughter.

So, this girl was here for the talent show audition!

From what he remembered, this year’s Super Girl was lackluster, with only Zhang Hanyun and Tan Weiwei making it, and neither of them were the champion.

As for who the champion was, Zhang Jingdong couldn’t recall at the moment.

Mainly because, compared to Li Yuchun who would become hugely popular next year or even Zhang Liangying and Zhou Bichang, this year’s champion was virtually unknown.

He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Fei, then suddenly thought of something.

That was she must not have been selected this year, perhaps not even making it into the Jiangdu top ten. If she had, such news would have surely caused a sensation throughout the school in his past life, and he would have known.

But in Zhang Jingdong’s opinion, with Xiao Fei’s current ability, she was definitely not inferior to Zhang Hanyun.

So could it be because she didn’t sign with a company? Or was she unwilling to comply with underhanded tactics?

It must have been one of the two.

While Zhang Jingdong was lost in thought, Xiao Fei also sneakily glanced at him.

Initially, she didn’t quite understand what Zhang Jingdong had done just now, but seeing the long line not far away, she couldn’t help but admire his foresight.

Mainly because today’s weather was very hot, outdoor temperatures were almost 40 degrees, and if she kept standing in that line, she probably would’ve gotten heatstroke by the time it was her turn to perform on stage.

Zhang Jingdong parked the car in a shady spot between two trees, and they waited in the car for over half an hour.

Seeing that the line had shortened slightly, Xiao Fei couldn’t help saying: ”You keep resting, I’m going to queue up!”

Zhang Jingdong curled his lip: ”What’s the hurry? It’s so hot outside, if you go now, you’ll be heated to a puddle by the time you’re on stage. Will you still be in any shape to perform?”

Xiao Fei bit the corner of her mouth: ”I’m worried that there are too many people today. If I end up at the very back, I might not get to perform at all today!”

As Xiao Fei was about to get out of the car, Zhang Jingdong called out urgently: ”Wait a moment...”

Xiao Fei stopped, puzzled: ”What’s up?”

”Just wait a bit, I’ll be back soon!”

Zhang Jingdong said crisply as he got out of the car.

Xiao Fei watched him approach a spot toward the front of the lineup and talk to several girls. She roughly guessed what he was up to.

A few minutes later, he returned to the car.

”All set, you get ready now. In less than an hour, it should be your turn to perform!”

Xiao Fei hesitated: ”What did you say to her that she actually agreed to give up her spot?”

”I used the ’Handsome Guy Trick’ on her.”

”Handsome Guy Trick?” Xiao Fei’s brow wrinkled slightly: ”What does that mean?”

”I told her that if she was willing to give up this spot for my sister, I would date her afterwards. And upon seeing how handsome I am, naturally, she agreed!”

”How... how is that possible?” Xiao Fei’s face was full of disbelief: ”You... you really said that to her?”

Zhang Jingdong curled his lips: ”Do you think I’m not handsome enough for that?”

”No, it’s not that, I just think... Never mind, I’ll queue up myself. To compete, you even have to date her for my sake, I can’t afford that kind of responsibility!”

Seeing that the girl was really about to get out of the car, Zhang Jingdong immediately shook his head: ”Sometimes I wonder how someone with your brains managed to get into West University! Of course, I didn’t say that to her, did I?”

Xiao Fei stopped in her tracks once more: ”Then what did you tell her?”

Zhang Jingdong casually grabbed a bottle of water, twisted it open, and took a sip: ”You see, one must always know how to use their own advantages, and besides being handsome, I also have money!”

Xiao Fei immediately realized she was played by him again, so she said indignantly: ”How much money did you give her? I’ll pay you back!”

Zhang Jingdong simply stretched out his hand: ”5000, thank you!”

”5000!” Xiao Fei immediately pulled back her wallet: ”Why did you give her so much?”

”Empathy is important, isn’t it? By giving up her spot to you, she might lose a chance to become a star, so her asking for 5000 is already quite righteous!”

Xiao Fei pouted: ”Alright, when I come down and have the money, I’ll pay you back!”

Zhang Jingdong said without any change of expression: ”Since you want to settle accounts with me, let’s do it properly. Driving you around today, using my own car, plus the loss of work and car damage... I’ll give you a discount, let’s round it to 18000, so you’ll owe me a total of 23000!”

”The interest for one day, I’ll calculate it at the bank’s lowest rate of 0.3‰, which is 69, so for every day you’re late, you owe me an additional 69!”

Hearing this, Xiao Fei instantly caved: ”You... Mr. Zhang, how can you do this?”

Zhang Jingdong spread his hands: ”It was you who wanted to settle up with me, wasn’t it!”

At this point, Xiao Fei suddenly put on a pitiful face: ”I don’t understand why every time we meet, you have to annoy me! I... I’ve been aggravated to death by you today!”

Zhang Jingdong pretended to be innocent: ”How have I annoyed you? Here I am, diligently serving you with both man and car, and yet you have the nerve to say I’m annoying you!”

”Why are you so mean to me? Why do you threaten me? No boy has ever treated me like this since I was young; you’re just too much, you... you’re bullying me!”

Xiao Fei’s grievances grew as she spoke, and she appeared on the brink of tears.

Zhang Jingdong quickly said: ”Don’t cry, you still have to go on stage later!”

Xiao Fei instantly held back, but her face was still covered with grievances.

Zhang Jingdong was amused by her expression: ”I didn’t mean to upset you on purpose. It’s just that in this hot weather, people get irritable, and you’re a great beauty, so I just wanted to tease you a bit!”

”And besides, you used to be pretty mentally strong, so why can’t you handle it today?”

Xiao Fei retorted angrily: ”I... I’m nervous! Today is my first time participating in such a competition, whether or not I can pursue a career as a professional singer may well depend on the success of this competition!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingdong immediately said: ”Firstly, I think you’re narrowing down the path to becoming a professional singer too much, and secondly, I think you’re underestimating this competition a bit. You probably didn’t understand the rules of such competitions.”

Xiao Fei was a bit confused: ”What do you mean by that?”

”The former, it’s not the 90s anymore, where becoming a professional singer only happened by competing and then performing at various evening parties.”

”Now it’s the internet era; just release one or two catchy songs online, and as long as the songs catch on, you can become a professional singer, and you might even get to perform at the Spring Festival Gala!”

”The latter, do you think they built such a big stage just to help you amateurs fulfill your dreams and get famous? How could that be possible!”

”You guys are at most just extras in this big show, and in the end, those who truly stand out are usually the artists from major entertainment companies. This platform is actually just a guise for entertainment companies to promote their own artists under the name of a nationwide talent show.”

”Once their artists become famous, they can make money for these companies, but what benefit can you amateurs bring if you become famous? So, you think they’ll support you?”

Hearing this, Xiao Fei’s eyes dimmed: ”What you say... makes sense, so... should I still compete?”

”Of course, you should go, you’ve already come this far.”

”And this is also a great opportunity for practice. You’ve only performed on school stages before; this time, you can get a feel for what a somewhat professional stage is really like!”

Seeing that Xiao Fei still couldn’t hide the disappointment in her eyes, Zhang Jingdong continued: ”Don’t worry, don’t think that if you don’t win this competition, you can’t become a professional singer in the future!”

”After the competition, I’ll help you figure something out. No bragging, it might be a bit difficult to elevate you to the status of a diva like Wang Fei, but making you a top singer in the country, getting you on the Spring Festival Gala or something, I’m still confident about!”

Xiao Fei thought Zhang Jingdong was just saying this to comfort her, so she tried to squeeze out a smile: ”...Okay, I’ll listen to you!”
