Faced with Su Qing's enthusiasm, Jiang Mengting couldn't do much but agree to sit with Wang Xing. After all, as a woman who could handle multiple men, she had enough emotional intelligence. Not every man was like Wang Xing, who was essentially a simp.
At this moment, Su Qing couldn't help but think to himself that he'd met his match today. If it weren't for his knack for narration, he wouldn't have noticed anything amiss.
Also, the bonus money was only confirmed last night, yet he managed to spill the beans so easily? To say his brain was kicked by a donkey would be an insult to the donkey.
The two then sat down, and Wang Xing was feeling quite generous in front of his goddess, ordering a table full of dishes for the three of them.
Fortunately, the table wasn't big, and the portions were small, but this meal was definitely not cheap.
The three of them chatted while eating, and Su Qing would intentionally steer the conversation towards Jiang Mengting to gather information.
Su Qing: "Miss Jiang, what industry are you in?"
"I'm studying finance, helping out in a friend's company. Recently, I've been preparing for some exams, so I haven't been going to the company much." [An experienced woman lying, she doesn't actually have a job and is currently trying to entangle a middle manager to get a position at his company.]
Su Qing: "Haha, what do you think of my brother here, Miss Jiang? His character is beyond reproach."
"Him? He's actually pretty nice, stable, but sometimes doesn't understand what girls think." [Plain-looking, luckily not very smart. Keep him as a backup, even if he doesn't have much money, every little bit counts.]
Hearing this, Wang Xing thought the goddess was praising him, grinning so widely his gums were showing.
"Being stable is better than being impulsive. By the way, Mengting, do you have any nice single friends for my brother here? I don't need to say more, but my brother here is now doing short videos, earning a decent income every month, no one dictates his time, his dad is a teacher at Jiangcheng University, and his family conditions are not bad."
Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but feel exasperated. Take care of your own affairs first. Besides, if this kind of woman dares introduce me to someone, I wouldn't dare take her!
He silently sang in his heart to Wang Xing, "Thank you, because you bring warmth to the four seasons."
And upon hearing this, Jiang Mengting's eyes lit up and she said, "Well, there are girls, but I don't know their situation. I'll find out when I have time." [The qualifications are okay, looks aren't bad, there's a chance to develop something here, should be wealthier than Wang Xing.]
Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but be a bit shocked. This woman is something else, developing backups with no limits, even considering their friends, seems like this isn't her first time, she's pretty skilled at it.
"Then I'm counting on you to help him settle down!" Even though inside he was about to retch, he kept a straight face.
"No problem, leave it to me. If there's news, I'll tell Wang Xing to contact you." [With words like these, it's only right for you to add me on WeChat, don't you think?]
Su Qing didn't know what level of woman this was, but it wasn't a low one, definitely not a beginner.
"Hey, no need for so much fuss. Qingzi, give Mengting your WeChat later, and don't forget to treat us when you're in a relationship!"
Su Qing: →_→
What can I say, at this table the cunning is practically tangible, he managed to grasp most of it thanks to his narrating knack, the salmon sashimi and Jiang Mengting share a bit, Wang Xing like none.
He seriously doubted the salmon was smarter than Wang Xing when it was alive, just unlucky to end up as food.
The woman is making moves on your brother, and you're helping her?
"Hey, no need to rush when there's no sign yet," Su Qing joked.
Over the course of the meal, such things happened countless times, but Su Qing also noticed this woman was truly remarkable. Not because of anything else, but because every sentence she said triggered his narration, always indicating either a lie or another agenda, utterly absurd.
Finally, when the three had eaten their fill and were about to leave, Su Qing suddenly said, "By the way, I heard there's a good suspense movie recently released. Have you guys seen it? If not, how about watching it together tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xing was a bit tempted and turned to ask: "Mengting, are you free tonight?"
"Tonight, it might not work. I'm preparing for exams, have to visit a friend this afternoon and study in the evening, won't be able to accompany you." [In truth, she was meeting her girlfriends in the afternoon for shopping and clothing, with another man acting as the buyer, and was planning to go to Gle Bar on Donghua Street at nine for drinks, aiming to secure the middle manager, location: Guomao Hotel on Donghua Street, time: 12:30.]
At this, Su Qing's lips curled up slightly, he finally knew what he wanted to know, then smiled and said, "In that case, let's do it another day!"
"Alright then, you guys talk, I'll head off first."
"Mengting, let me see you off."
"Sure."
After the cab departed, Wang Xing snapped out of it, giggling, "Hehe, Qingzi, what do you think? Mengting's a good girl, isn't she? Once I settle down with her, you must thank me properly."
With that, Su Qing, who had been holding back for an hour, slapped him on the back of his head:
"Can't you have some ambition, don't you know what we're here for?"
At this, Wang Xing finally realized and quickly said, "Right, right, Qingzi, did you figure anything out? Didn't see you do much just now."
"What kind of action are you expecting, should I perform some ritual for you?" Su Qing glanced at him and continued, "This woman treats you like an ATM, you're not even a viable option to her."
"Impossible, I'm not some big boss. She's interested in me for my personality, right?" Wang Xing immediately retorted.
Of course, Su Qing didn't plan on persuading this simp with a few words. If it were that easy, he wouldn't have been trying for years.
"At least you have some self-awareness," Su Qing pretended to be mysterious and continued, "Go to Gle Bar on Donghua Street at nine tonight, you should find her there. And no matter what you see, don't approach her, follow her after midnight, and you might get a surprise."
For a simp like him, only hitting a wall, seeing the true colors of the woman, might make him turn around.
Any normal man would probably crumble seeing their beloved with another man in a hotel, and if Wang Xing remained unfazed, there'd be no point trying to save him.
At this, Wang Xing looked at him, puzzled, "You mean Mengting was lying to me earlier?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't believe it!"
Su Qing:...
"Well, can't you just check?"
"Fine, but how do you know she's heading to the bar tonight, let alone the exact location? Don't tell me you foresaw it?" Wang Xing still doubted.
Su Qing glared at him, "Just go already, didn't I tell you not to ask questions last night on the phone?"
"Oh, and one more thing, bring some heart medicine with you."
Wang Xing: ???
