only spent less than five minutes showering before opening the door and stepping out."If you want to take a bath, you can do so now," said Cold Bingbing to Xia Tian.Xia Tian blinked his eyes: "Sis Co...Chapter 531: Not Showing Respect

The speaker was a young man in his twenties who looked quite good, slightly handsome, and dressed in branded clothes. At first glance, it seemed that he was decked out in luxury from head to toe; of course, compared to everything else, the most expensive luxury item should have been the beautiful lady slung over his arm.

This woman was quite tall, seemingly a bit taller than this young man, and she had an excellent physique. She appeared to be carefully dressed up with a diamond necklace around her delicate neck; a large diamond rested right in the deep valley between her breasts, very alluring.

Seeing this couple, Zhang Dan quickly stood up to greet them: "Mr. Liang, Miss Qi."

But Miss Qi didn't even give Zhang Dan a glance, clearly not regarding him at all; on the contrary, Mr. Liang had a smile on his face and was very amiable: "Zhang Dan, you stay seated, no need to stand up. We just finished eating and were about to leave when we saw you here, so I thought I'd say hello."

As he spoke, this Mr. Liang casually glanced at Ning Jie sitting opposite Zhang Dan, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Zhang Dan, is this your friend"

"Mr. Liang, this is my classmate and also my fellow townsman, Ning Jie." Zhang Dan hurriedly introduced both sides, "Ning Jie, this is our newspaper's editor-in-chief."

"So you are Miss Ning Jie, nice to meet you, I'm Liang Yong, the editor-in-chief of Jinghua Entertainment News." Liang Yong warmly greeted Ning Jie and even extended his hand as if wanting to shake hands with her.

At this moment, a coquettish voice from Miss QiQi, tinged with slight displeasure, rang out: "Young Master Liang, I need to hurry back to apply my facial mask, let's go!"

Liang Yong could only retract his half-extended hand and said somewhat reluctantly to Ning Jie: "Miss Ning, see you next time."

As Liang Yong left the western restaurant with Miss QiQi, Zhang Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. "What a close call!"

Ning Jie was a bit puzzled. "What kind of close call"

"That's Director Liang. He seems to have set his sights on you; if not for Qiqi dragging you away, you might be in big trouble."

Ning Jie was slightly taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Could it really be that serious"

"What do you mean could it be that serious Let me tell you, Liang Yong is the biggest lecher in our newspaper company. They say he sleeps with every attractive employee." Zhang Dan's expression was somewhat odd as she continued, "When I first joined the company, he even had his eye on me, but before long, he started chasing after Qiqi instead. So I managed to escape."

Pausing for a moment, Zhang Dan added, "Qiqi is quite well-known in modeling circles; she's been keeping Liang Yong busy these past few months. But from what I can tell, he’s probably grown tired of her already and is looking for new prey now. You’re much more attractive than Qiqi, so it’s not surprising that he would take an interest."

"He’s just the editor-in-chief of a newspaper," Ning Jie was bewildered. "Even if there really is something going on, do we need to be this scared"

"He's more than just an editor-in-chief though," Zhang Dan was clearly well aware of Liang Yong's background. "I’ve heard that he has significant connections in the capital city; they say he’s one of the Four Young Lords of Beijing. A man like him, once he sets his sights on a woman, there’s no escaping!"

"Misses, your steaks are ready." The waiter approached at this moment.

"Come on, let's start eating. Forget about that Liang Yong guy; he's already left anyway. However, I won't dare to bring you to our newspaper office in the future," Zhang Dan said.

Ning Jie was more than happy with this arrangement. In her view, whether it was Liang Yong or the Four Young Masters of Beijing, they were all irrelevant to her.

As Zhang Dan and Ning Jie ate and chatted, by the time they finished their dinner and stepped out of the Western restaurant, it was already half past seven. The sky had darkened, and streetlights were already lit up.

"Zhang Dan, Miss Ning." A voice suddenly reached their ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Dan's expression changed immediately. She glanced at Ning Jie and thought to herself that something was amiss.

"Mr. Liang, what a coincidence!" Zhang Dan walked over proactively, hoping in her heart that it was truly a coincidence; otherwise, things would become quite troublesome.

However, as the saying goes, fear begets the thing feared. Only hearing Liang Yong say: "Zhang Dan, this isn't a coincidence at all. I've been waiting for you guys here specifically!"

Before Zhang Dan could speak, Liang Yong had already approached Ning Jie and said: "Ms. Ning, are you interested in going for a drive My car is over there."

Liang Yong pointed to the roadside where a rather eye-catching Lamborghini sports car was parked. There was no doubt that this was one of Liang Yong's tactics to flirt with girls; just this Lamborghini alone could seduce many beauties into bed.

Unfortunately, Ning Jie wasn't very interested in it at all, especially after Zhang Dan had already told her earlier about some of Liang Yong’s behavior. She was even less likely to be interested in him now. Although she wanted to become a wealthy woman, she herself was actually an intelligent lady with high IQ; she certainly didn’t want to foolishly give herself to these so-called tycoons only to end up hurting her body and heart for nothing.

"Sorry, Mr. Liang, I'd like to go home and rest," Ning Jie refused very straightforwardly.

"Miss Ning, it's not even eight o'clock yet. There's no need for you to go back and rest so early, right" Liang Yong was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected anyone to reject his Lamborghini. "Actually, I think Miss Ning meets the criteria very well. Our newspaper also has a weekly magazine, and Miss Ning would be quite suitable as our cover model for next week's issue. We could go for a drive while we discuss the specifics of our collaboration."

This was naturally Liang Yong’s second attempt: Didn’t like cars No problem. How many women don't want to become stars Being a cover model is almost like being a small celebrity.

"Mr. Liang, I have no interest in modeling," Unfortunately, Ning Jie remained unpersuaded; she walked to the roadside and waved her hand: "Taxi!"

A taxi pulled over by the side of the road. Ning Jie said something to Zhang Dan before opening the car door, preparing to get inside.

Liang Yong's expression turned rather sour. A mere female college graduate who had just graduated a few months ago dared to treat him this way If he couldn't even handle such a woman, how could he keep face when others heard about it

"Miss Ning, you wouldn’t be so disrespectful to me, would you" Liang Yong strode up in front of Ning Jie and grabbed her arm to prevent her from getting into the taxi.about to break out and thus backed away automatically. A few cowardly ones even left the bar. Of course, most people stayed around to watch the commotion, as fights in bars were not uncommon these day...
