Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 035: Speaking Half-Way

  The update time for these two days is not very stable, please bear with us.

  The train departed from Yanjing North Station for more than an hour and slowly stopped on the track of Badaling Railway Station.

  Xu Yunjin pulled Zhang Li and Rong Jingying's hands, rushing ahead towards the car door.

  Sun Zesheng hurriedly chased after them, handing the train ticket he had been holding to San Nu, "Although it's not worth much money, it's a proof of getting off the station. You don't want to be forced to buy a new ticket by the ticket inspector at the station, do you?"

  Xu Yunjin hummed and said, "I'd rather pay for the ticket myself than accept anything you've bought with your money."

  Rong Jingying struggled free from Xu Yunjin's grasp, and Xu Yunjin hastily asked: "Xiao Jing, what are you going to do?"

  Rong Jingying said softly: "You guys go ahead, I have something to take care of, and then I'll catch up with you."

  "Good riddance, Sun Zesheng isn't worth your kindness." Xu Yunjin muttered under his breath, but still pulled Zhang Li's hand and got off the train a step ahead.

  Rong Jingying took the ticket handed over by Sun Zesheng and said directly, "Don't you plan to explain something to me?"

  Sun Zesheng pretended to be stupid, "What's there to explain to you?"

  Rong Jingying said slowly, "Sun Zesheng, you don't seem like the kind of person who would be in a hurry, did Zhang Li really mesmerize you? You just asked that question about whether I'm valuable or not. Of course, I won't force it, if that's really what you meant, or if you think there's no need to explain to me, then you can keep quiet."

  Sun Zesheng smiled wryly, he really couldn't keep silent at this moment, Rong Jingying was his default big gold master, and he was still waiting to make a fortune from her. If he didn't make things clear, Rong Jingying wouldn't spend money on his acne remover, who would he cry to?

  "It's really pitiful to see how people's minds are so easily led astray these days. I started a small company and thought Zhang Li's image and temperament were quite good, so I wanted to ask her to shoot a print ad for us, which is why I asked that question. I really didn't have any other intention, just wondering if Zhang Li's appearance fee was expensive or not, that's all."

  "What? Is that really it? Sun Zesheng, you're not deceiving me? You really just wanted to ask Zhang Li to shoot an ad?" Rong Jingying asked.

  "Of course, otherwise, what did you think I wanted to do? Zhang Li is so beautiful, not someone I can afford to mess with, let alone afford to keep."

  Sun Zesheng said this with a somewhat self-aware tone, and his words were half-true and half-false. If he wanted to, it wouldn't matter if there was one Zhang Li or ten, he could afford to raise them all. However, these words couldn't be spoken out loud, and even if they were, no one would believe him. Moreover, Sun Zesheng didn't have any particular feelings for Zhang Li, nor was there a need for him to say such things.

  "I'll give you credit for knowing your own mistakes. Next time, remember to speak clearly. If you continue to talk ambiguously like today and let people misunderstand, I won't bother with you again." Rong Jingying said with a smile.

  "Yes, yes, you're right. I'll be more careful next time." Sun Zesheng joined his hands together and bowed to Rong Jingying.

  Rong Jingying got off the train with her ticket, walked a few steps, and then stopped again. She turned around to face Sun Zesheng and said: "I'll believe what you just said for now, but I still need to see it with my own eyes to confirm that you're not lying about starting your own company. Maybe one day I'll suddenly remember and make a surprise inspection. Wait for my call."

  Rong Jingying's personality is very open and cheerful, without any reserved attitude, straightforward and easy-going, making it easy for people to feel close to her. It's hard to imagine that someone with such a personality hasn't had a boyfriend until now, could it be because of those pimples on her face?

  Sun Zesheng nodded, "Alright, I'll be ready for your inspection at any time."

  Rong Jingying gave Sun Zesheng a free smile and turned around to chase after Xu Yunjin and Zhang Li.

  The two women were waiting for her just ahead, and when she joined them, the three of them huddled together, whispering quietly.

  Xu Yunjin and others Rong Jingying finished speaking, turned around, looked in the direction of Sun Zesheng, "Well, Sun Zesheng, you only said half of what you wanted to say, is this how you do things?"

  Zhang Li only realized he had misunderstood Sun Zesheng after Rong Jingying explained it to him. When Sun Zesheng walked over, Zhang Li took the initiative to say: "Sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

  Sun Zesheng waved his hand, "It's okay, I blame myself for not making things clear. Let's go."

  Four people walked out of the train station together and set foot towards the Great Wall not far away.

  Xu Yunjin pulled Zhang Li and deliberately fell behind, "Zhang Li, continue to act according to the original plan."

  "Look for someone else, I won't cooperate with you again. I don't want to have any more unnecessary misunderstandings with Sun Zesheng. Do you know how scary it was just now? When Sun Zesheng said that sentence, I felt like my clothes were stripped off. I don't want to go through that experience again."

  Zhang Li has not yet graduated, and so far, there is no outstanding film and television work that can be taken out of hand. She can only be considered a half-artistic person, but the messy things in the entertainment industry are all too familiar to her, and it's easy to make some people think.

  If she had been tainted before, the reaction might not have been so great. The problem is that she has kept her virginity until now, and her mind has become extremely sensitive, making it easy for her to overreact.

  Xu Yunjin pleaded: "Zhang Li, you're my good sister, right? I don't need your help often, just this once is enough. As long as I can get my hands on Sun Zesheng's script, I'll definitely become famous, and when that happens, I'll do my best to make you a global superstar."

  "If Sun Zesheng's script is really that attractive to you, then spend the money to buy it. If you talk to him seriously and show your sincerity, I don't believe he won't give you any discount at all. Let's take a step back, if Sun Zesheng really doesn't want to lower the price, I still have some savings there, I'm willing to lend it to you for free, just go buy it."

  Sun Zesheng and Rong Jingying walked side by side.

  "Sun Zesheng, what are you planning to sell when you start your company? IT products, digital products, or something like a print shop?"

  "None of them. For now, the company I founded will mainly produce cosmetics. As a biological technology major, I had nothing better to do and came up with this."

  Sun Zesheng and Rong Jingying chatted casually, both of them spoke briefly without in-depth communication. After all, it was the second time they met today, still in the stage of mutual exploration and cautious contact.

  Unconsciously arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, Sun Zesheng took the initiative to run to the ticket office and bought tickets with his own money. The student ticket was 25 yuan per piece, and four tickets cost exactly 100 yuan.

  Sun Zesheng paid the money, took the ticket from the ticket seller's hand, and handed it back to Rong Jingying, Xu Yunjin, and Zhang Lisan. "Let's go, three beauties, it's time to climb the Great Wall and become heroes."

  This is yesterday's, and there will be two more today.
