Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 289: Chapter 162: The Offense and Defense with Yan Ning (Large Chapter, Please Subscribe)_3

Lin Xirui was somewhat miffed on the one hand but on the other, she was secretly determined to work hard. She aimed to become a powerful woman like Yan Ning, walking shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Jingdong by relying on her own strength.

Zhang Jingdong took Yan Ning straight up to the third floor.

Having received news from Wang Tao, Liu Zongheng had come to wait here earlier. Now seeing the two of them come upstairs, he hastily came over to greet them.

”Boss, Mr. Yan, I have prepared a place for you, please follow me...”

They then followed Liu Zongheng to a booth that had a good view and was also relatively secluded.

Zhang Jingdong noticed that Liu Zongheng was obviously not familiar with Yan Ning, and immediately said, ”Mr. Yan, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Zongheng, one of our bar partners besides President Wang!”

Yan Ning turned her head to look at Liu Zongheng and hesitated, ”Your name sounds familiar to me, and looking at your appearance...are you the youngest son of Chairman Liu from Mingyuan Group?”

Liu Zongheng was instantly flattered, ”Mr. Yan, I can’t believe you actually know about me, I am truly honored!”

”I know your father, I have heard him mention you.”

Yan Ning’s remark was just a politeness.

Although she indeed was friends with Liu Zongheng’s father, she knew of Liu Zongheng because he used to be a regular at the Conquest, and as a shareholder, she naturally heard of his deeds despite not often going there.

Liu Zongheng didn’t catch the courtesy behind her words, but he also had the self-awareness to know that even if his father mentioned him to others, it would certainly be as a counterexample to his elder brother.

Thus, he somewhat sheepishly and respectfully said, ”I have also heard of you, knowing that you are the most formidable woman in Jiangdu!”

Yan Ning seemed not to like being called a powerful woman too much. After hearing this, she nodded her head but didn’t continue the conversation.

At the right moment, Liu Zongheng said, ”You two proceed with your discussion, I’ll be busy...”

Having said that, he turned around and left.

While talking, he had taken a close look at this legendary beautiful tycoon and was deeply amazed by her beauty and aura!

Therefore, at this moment, not only there was not the slightest grudge in his heart, but he also admired Yan Ning even more.

At the same time, he was completely impressed with Zhang Jingdong.

Of course, he could see that Zhang Jingdong had not yet conquered Yan Ning, but the mere fact that he was not nervous at all in front of her and even managed to converse with ease and humor, made him so impressed with Zhang Jingdong that he was almost worshipping him.

Because he knew if it were him, let alone being able to converse with ease, he might not last five minutes before completely falling apart, mainly because Yan Ning’s aura was just too strong!

Watching Liu Zongheng go downstairs, Yan Ning spoke indifferently, ”It seems you really do have some skills. Wang Tao and Liu Zongheng are among the top-level rich second-generation in Jiangdu, yet not only they both recognize you as the boss, but they also respect you so much, obviously, they genuinely admire you!”

As Zhang Jingdong poured wine, he said, ”I always thought that these rich second generations were too arrogant, only knowing how to eat, drink, and be merry all day long.”

”But after meeting those two, I found out that although they both have very strong personalities and are very individualistic, they also have one very outstanding quality, and that is they know how to respect real strong people and are willing to follow and learn from them, which is usually the fastest way for a person to improve.”

”If it were me, I probably couldn’t do that because I come from humble origins and due to my inferiority complex, I care a lot about face, so I can’t lower myself to follow others.”

Yan Ning smiled and shook her head, ”Stop it, your self-praise is quite fresh and refined!”

”Tsk tsk, I was already being so euphemistic, and you still heard it out, Mr. Yan, it seems that you really understand me!”

”Hey... how thick-faced are you!”

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong suddenly lifted his glass and declared, ”A thousand cups of wine are too few when with a true friend, I never thought there would be a day when we’d meet in such a setting, come, let’s drink to it!”

At this point, Yan Ning suddenly realized that she was somewhat unable to keep up with Zhang Jingdong’s pace, mainly because this guy would take advantage one moment, be profound in another, joke around in the next, and then be genuinely emotional. He was just like Sun Wukong—she simply couldn’t control him.

It had been a long time since Yan Ning had met such a person, especially one so young!

This was not Yan Ning being arrogant, because over the years of fighting and accumulating in the business world, as she looked over the entire Jiangdu, she was confident that she could converse as equals even with someone like Wang Ruocheng.

As for top-level rich second generations like Wang Tao and Liu Zongheng, she could almost see right through them at a glance.

Although Zhang Jingdong was their boss and was a bit better than them, he was, after all, just a bar owner.

To be honest, although she was slightly surprised when she found out Zhang Jingdong was the boss of this bar, she still believed that after a short contact, she would definitely be able to see right through him.

But now... she actually felt this guy in front of her was a bit unfathomable!

However, Yan Ning had been able to dominate in Jiangdu for these years, naturally, she wasn’t a simple character.

Though she was feeling a bit bewildered at this moment, this instead aroused her determination to get a grip on Zhang Jingdong.

So she also picked up her glass, ”Alright, in consideration of your courage to allow a shareholder of Conquest to join tonight without knowing it was me, I will drink this glass!”

Yan Ning said and clinked glasses with Zhang Jingdong, then downed her drink in one breath.

Somehow, watching Yan Ning drink like that at this moment, Zhang Jingdong was suddenly reminded of Lin Qingxia’s portrayal of Dongfang Bubai, wild and stunningly beautiful.

Moved, Zhang Jingdong also tipped his head back and finished his drink.

After setting down his glass, Zhang Jingdong tentatively poured another drink for Yan Ning.

Seeing that she made no move to stop him, Zhang Jingdong seized the opportunity and said, ”Mr. Yan, judging by how you just drank, you obviously can hold your liquor, and since both of us run bars, dare you compete with me in a drinking game?”

Before Yan Ning could answer, Zhang Jingdong continued, ”But after all, I am a man, and I won’t take advantage of you. So how about this, you drink one glass and I drink three, how does that sound?”

Yan Ning was originally going to decline after hearing the first part, thinking it was too childish.

But after hearing the latter half, her competitive spirit was sparked, and she also wanted to properly teach Zhang Jingdong, this overconfident fellow, a lesson.

She then said, ”Since you are so confident, let’s do it your way.”
