Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1376: Chapter 524: My First Date with Tong Xin (Extended Chapter)

”Of course I know, but we’re thousands of miles apart right now, so there’s no way I can physically show my apology to you?”

”Why don’t you come to Europe for a few days now, hubby? I promise I’ll accept any punishment you want to give at that time.”

”I’ll remember what you said, but I have some matters to deal with right now. I can only come over next month, so keep that punishment in mind for the time being.”

”Okay, thank you, hubby! I’ll definitely behave well when the time comes.”

Zhang Jingdong hesitated for a moment, then said, ”Actually... you now have an opportunity to redeem yourself.”

”Tell me, hubby. As long as it’s something I know or can do, I’ll absolutely tell you everything without reservation.”

”Do you know Tong Xin?”

He Jieyu immediately elongated her voice: ”Oh... hubby, are you trying to make moves on Mr. Yan’s secretary again?”

Zhang Jingdong: ”No gossip. From now on, you just answer whatever I ask, okay?”

”...No problem, ask away?”

”Where is her hometown?”

”Zhenjiang.”

”What’s the situation with her family?”

”As far as I know, their ancestral home caught fire some time ago, and her father died in that fire. Later, both her grandmother and mother fell ill.”

”By the way, she also has a half-brother, who is currently living back at their family home.”

Zhang Jingdong nodded thoughtfully, then continued to ask, ”Have you had any contact with her before?”

”I haven’t interacted with her much, just a few days during two handovers, and we had two meals together.”

”What impression do you have of her?”

”I feel she is very meticulous, very independent, and has a somewhat isolated personality. Of course, that’s in private; she’s quite outgoing when she’s with Mr. Yan.”

”And I think she might be mentally unstable due to experiencing a great tragedy. Sometimes while chatting with her, you suddenly feel her mind seems to drift elsewhere.”

”Also, I think she seems a bit superstitious. For example, she insists on sitting on the left seat while eating, and she has specific ways of placing her chopsticks.”

”She has also said things like ’Mountains and rivers bear the Way, plants and trees contain emotion, cultivate the mind to comprehend the Tao, breathe with heaven and earth,’ and she said it with such seriousness as if she truly believes it.”

”Honestly, hubby, she may have the looks, figure, and temperament without any flaw, but I don’t think she’s quite right for you.”

”And given her current situation, if you want to win her over, it might take a lot of time.”

Zhang Jingdong hesitated for two seconds, then said, ”Alright, since you put it that way, I’ll reconsider.”

”Enough talk about her, let’s talk about you. How have you been lately?”

”I haven’t been in a great mood for the past few days, but I promise to be happy every day starting today.”

”If that’s the case, why not be happy now?”

”Are you sure? Then you have to give me some new insights.”

”Absolutely!”

”Hold on a second, let me prepare a bit.”

”Oh, it seems you’ve found a replacement now?”

”I borrowed my mom’s.”

”What!?” Zhang Jingdong burst into laughter: ”You sure have some nerve!”

”She probably doesn’t know. I took a new one, and she hasn’t opened it yet.”

”Such cleverness!”

”...I’m ready.”

”Good, then our remote lesson officially starts now!”

”Congratulations, Host, on successfully completing a lesson in a special way, reward: 500,000 yuan!”

After class, Zhang Jingdong chatted with He Jieyu for a while, then hung up the phone.

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the time; it was almost 6:30.

He then tidied up his thoughts, got out of the car, and entered Meixiang Residence.

He booked a private room, ordered a pot of Tieguanyin tea, and sent a message to Tong Xin: I’m here, in room 6.

In less than a minute, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Immediately, the door swung open, and Tong Xin appeared glamorously.

She was holding a black suit jacket, wearing a white blouse on top, and a black pencil skirt below.

Mature, graceful, pure allure, and her eyes also contained an indescribable sadness.

Every point was a sharp blade, capable of accurately striking the soft spots of most mature men.

No wonder, faced with such a beautiful and yet sad woman, any capable man would have a strong protective instinct.

Zhang Jingdong admired for less than three seconds before he sensibly restrained his wild nature and gestured, ”Sit.”

Tong Xin slightly bowed and then sat down two seats away from Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong directly said, ”You’re sitting too far away from me; it won’t be convenient to observe your facial features and palm reading later.”

Tong Xin hesitated for a few seconds, then blushingly stood up and surprisingly, sat right next to Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong inwardly smiled with pleasure, then said, ”Let’s eat first. Only after getting full can my skills fully exert themselves.”

Tong Xin immediately nodded in deep agreement, ”Mm.”

Then she called in the waiter and handed the menu to Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong took the menu and swiftly ordered five dishes and a soup.

After the waiter left the private room, Zhang Jingdong directly said to Tong Xin, ”Give me your hand!”

Tong Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly extended her hand.

Zhang Jingdong first pretended to observe her palm for a while, then earnestly studied it.

”Congratulations, Host, on successfully establishing physical contact with the target person, reward: 20,000 yuan.”
