Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 890: Chapter 365: The Beauty CEO in Others’ Eyes, He Just...

Zhang Jingdong pretended to think for a moment, then said, ”Mr. Ye, since you’re so up for it, I won’t make it hard for you.”

”My punishment for you is to take a walk with me by the West Lake after your negotiation with Ma Yun and the others this afternoon, and be my personal guide.”

”Oh, and one more thing... don’t dress so formally then, I’ll help you pick an outfit.”

Ye Jinyan breathed an instant sigh of relief upon hearing the first sentence, even a bit surprised at how lightly Zhang Jingdong seemed to be letting her off.

But upon hearing the next sentence, her eyebrows instantly furrowed, for she vaguely guessed at this guy’s mischievous intent.

Zhang Jingdong sensed her unease, so he stopped hiding and said with a wicked grin, ”Mr. Ye, you’re a person who honors a bet, right?”

Ye Jinyan didn’t want Zhang Jingdong to think she couldn’t accept losing, nor did she want him to feel she got a great advantage from him, so she pretended to be indifferent and replied, ”What’s the big deal? Sure, I agree!”

Zhang Jingdong immediately gave her a thumbs up, ”You’re refreshing! I like playing with people like you who can accept losing!”

At this moment, the door to the private room opened, and Zhao Qing, along with a beautiful waitress, walked in pushing a dining cart.

”Thank you all for waiting; I specially asked our chef to prepare a few of his specialties for everyone...”

As she served the dishes, she introduced them, ”This is Crystal Jellied Meat, this is Boiled Cabbage, and this is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.”

”This is Jade Lobster, this is Exotic Mushroom Pomegranate Wrap, this is Squirrel Guilt Fish, and this is Lingzhi Jade Cicada.”

Zhang Jingdong looked at these dishes, curious, and asked, ”Sister Qing, is our chef specialized in Huaiyang cuisine?”

Zhao Qing glanced at Ye Jinyan, then nodded, ”Yes, although it’s Huaiyang cuisine, our chef here is Master Li Qingtan, whom Mr. Ye specially invited. He previously handled the national banquet, so these dishes have both southern and northern flavors. You’ll know once you try them.”

Zhang Jingdong immediately marveled, ”No wonder these dishes radiate an aura of grandeur and subtlety, both in appearance and combination. So it’s a national banquet chef cooking, wow, Mr. Ye, you really have a knack for the finer things!”

”Our Mr. Ye is very particular about everything... Alright, everyone, enjoy your meal, and call me if you need anything.”

After saying this, Zhao Qing was about to leave.

Just then, Zhang Jingdong suddenly asked, ”Oh, Sister Qing, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you?”

Zhao Qing stopped and turned around, ”Go ahead, ask whatever you like!”

Ye Jinyan, who was about to pick up her chopsticks, paused when she heard this, and turned to look at Zhang Jingdong.

Lin Qiuyue and Long Yue also subconsciously looked at Zhang Jingdong.

As if mentioning it casually, Zhang Jingdong said, ”Your ancient attire is very beautiful, did you have it custom-made at a store?”

Zhao Qing was slightly taken aback, looked at Ye Jinyan again, then nodded, ”Yes... I personally like ancient costumes, and Hang City has many stores specializing in ancient attire, so I had it custom-made there.”

”Besides custom-made ones, do they have any ready-made outfits of the same quality as yours in the store?”

”They do, but rarely, as the shops usually aren’t big and these ancient outfits are made of special materials, so they are expensive. It’s usually hard to buy one that fits perfectly off the rack.”

”I see... Do you have more than just this set of ancient clothing? Do you have others to change into?”

”Oh... of course.”

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong carefully examined Zhao Qing’s figure, then turned to glance at Ye Jinyan, probing, ”Isn’t your body shape quite similar to Mr. Ye’s? Your clothes should fit her well too, right?”

By now, Lin Qiuyue and the others understood what Zhang Jingdong intended to do, while Ye Jinyan blushed in embarrassment.

Though somewhat confused, Zhao Qing gathered what might be happening through the expressions and reactions of Ye Jinyan and her companions.

She then said, ”Um... no need, Mr. Ye already has such ancient clothing, and both the materials and the style are better than mine.”

”Actually, she was the one initially interested in ancient clothing, and she recommended these stores to me.”

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, ”Oh, I see, then it’s settled. Alright, Sister Qing, go ahead and carry on, I’ll chat with Mr. Ye.”

Zhao Qing nodded, ”Alright, feel free to call me if you need anything.”

Saying this, she turned and gave Ye Jinyan a knowing look, then left the room.

Zhang Jingdong then said to Ye Jinyan, ”Mr. Ye, you probably already know what I’m thinking, right? Your ancient costumes should all be in Hang City, right?”

Although Ye Jinyan really wanted to refuse, she knew she couldn’t possibly refuse at this time, so she simply nodded.

”Great, then when we go for a walk by the West Lake today, wear an ancient costume, and I’ll help you pick the color and style.”

Ye Jinyan felt embarrassed seeing Zhang Jingdong actually insisting on it, ”Are you... are you sure about this? It might attract a lot of attention then!”

Zhang Jingdong took a bite of a shrimp dumpling, ”That’s what makes it a punishment; if it were too easy, it’d be boring!”

Seeing that Ye Jinyan was still somewhat reluctant, Zhang Jingdong continued, ”Mr. Ye, be glad; out of all the bets I’ve made, your punishment is probably the lightest!”

”Even though it’s in public, I’m letting you wear your favorite clothes, showcasing your beauty, and allowing the public to admire you.”
