My American magical life
Chapter 116 - 116 40 Playing Both Sides Like a Green Pond 3000

116: Chapter 40 Playing Both Sides, Like a Green Pond (3000) 116: Chapter 40 Playing Both Sides, Like a Green Pond (3000) Temir lay in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hesitating about how to reply to Cheng Daqi’s message.

The day she met Cheng Daqi, she always felt that this man was different.

She thought she just admired the abilities of this Asian vagrant.

But when Cheng Daqi suddenly talked to her about collaboration, she was awakened by the sharpness she had cultivated since childhood.

A stranger, a person of such low status, in less than a day.

To be precise, within a few hours, he had breached her psychological defenses.

She actually wanted to trust Cheng Daqi that easily.

She clearly remembered what Cheng Daqi said then.

A vagrant, using his short video account’s performance as a bargaining chip.

He claimed time and again that he was sincere, and Temir was nearly moved by that ridiculous ‘sincerity’.

When she realized something was wrong, the black-haired rich woman immediately thought of many things that weren’t normal.

But she didn’t care; she had the strength to test how dangerous the ill-intentioned abyss was.

So, she gently touched Cheng Daqi’s face.

Looking at the liar who remained unfazed, the black-haired rich woman agreed to the collaboration.

But today, the development of the story seemed to have taken a turn she had never anticipated, and it began to change.

‘I did it on purpose, that kind of coincidence was a social skill I deliberately used, hoping to use some laughable tricks to make you my friend.’

She read through the message again from beginning to end.

Temir stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, fiddling with the annoying sheer curtain with her hand.

The boy, suspected of being a scammer, actually wanted to come clean.

Why confess?

Temir ‘Why say all this?’

Cheng ‘I almost died in the library today.

Now that I think about it, many of my previous actions were quite laughable, like a poor clown.’

Temir ‘For example.’

Cheng ‘For example, when I met you, I wanted you to think I was different.’

With light steps, the black-haired rich woman walked onto the balcony and found a lounge chair to lie down on.

You are indeed different; no other man has taken off his pants before even meeting me.

Of course, thoughts like that can be said, but then the rhythm of the conversation would be off.

She wanted to see what kind of tricks Cheng Daqi could pull off.

Temir ‘That’s normal, I’m a beauty, what man doesn’t like beauties?’

Cheng ‘If it were affection for you, then a bit of pretense wouldn’t be too clownish.

But when I see you, all I can think of is how to get some resources from you.

Resources, heh, I hope to get some resources from you, so I carefully used one social skill after another, plotting to get close to you.’

Black girl leaned on Cheng Daqi, quietly watching him send messages to Temir, without making a sound.

She wanted to leave again.

But she also felt she shouldn’t leave.

Temir ‘Alright, you approached me with a purpose, and now what’s driving you to say all this nonsense?’

Cheng ‘After walking through life and death, I want to be the real me, Temir, so I don’t want to wear a mask with you anymore.

Just think, you’re so beautiful and not lacking in wealth; there are too many people with ulterior motives getting close to you, and I was one of them at first.

It’s so boring; I hope our meeting can be more interesting, more sincere.’

Making our meeting more interesting means asking for more money, right?

The black-haired rich woman let out a wry laugh, feeling a bit disappointed.

She had been truly moved by Cheng Daqi’s honesty just moments ago.

Too bad, in the end, it’s still about money.

Temir ‘Alright, say it, how much money do you want?’

Pausing for a moment, Cheng Daqi was put off by the clever rich woman’s straightforwardness.

Big sister, you’re too understanding.

‘She’s very wealthy?’ Black girl’s voice came into his ear.

‘Maybe?

I’m not too sure either, let’s try and see if we can scam her.’

After a long thought, Cheng Daqi composed a lengthy message.

Cheng ‘Ms.

Temir, I should start with an apology, apologize for my shallow thinking when I first met you.

It could’ve been a very interesting story, but I messed it up from the beginning.

Now, I earnestly ask you, my friend, to trust me once, to believe I can help you accomplish some things you want to do.

Moreover, my charges will be much lower than those MCNs, I could even sign a bet agreement with you.’

Lisa’s influence on Temir was always significant, otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to meet a vagrant because of Lisa’s introduction.

Today, Lisa’s concern for a friend during a kidnapping case livestream also affected Temir to some extent.

Even the most powerful women are still women, and they can have many emotional moments.

Even though she was convinced that Cheng Daqi was an interesting scammer, he did indeed catch her attention.

She and Lisa were worried together, worried whether Cheng Daqi might have died at the hands of the kidnappers.

That’s a friend’s normal concern for another friend.

But Cheng Daqi’s behavior tonight was so ridiculous it made her want to laugh.

What now, got yourself confused playing the caring guy?

What are you pretending for, Chan!

You’ve said so much, isn’t it still just for money?

You think I’m Lisa, that big fool?

Thinking a few words will make me cry and pay you?

Boy, so young so simple!

Two days ago, Temir had already had the lawyer draft a contract for collaboration with Cheng Daqi, she was still looking forward to it.

Even if she was anticipating what kind of moves this scammer would make, it was still a form of expectation.

But now she’s considering whether she should keep Lisa away from this man full of nonsense talk.

Temir ‘You’d already admitted it yourself, admitted that you approached me on purpose.

Now you want me to trust you again.’

If you’re going to be a liar, then commit to it all the way—it can at least be counted as professional spirit.

Admitting that you lied to me, and then moving yourself with so much talk, hoping that I would forgive you, wanting me to give you money.

Let me give you a piece of advice!

You’re double-dealing and hypocritical, like a sanctimonious bitch!

Can’t you just be a man?’

Temir felt extremely pleased with her own response.

In her heart, she saw Cheng Daqi’s actions as manipulative and deceitful.

After watching Cheng Daqi and Temir’s conversation from start to finish, Heimei was now laughing happily.

This joy might stem from Cheng Daqi’s frustrated look, or perhaps from the realization that the ‘sanctimonious bitch’ on the other side of the screen wouldn’t be competing with her for friends anymore.

“Haha, Chan, she called you a sanctimonious bitch.

Do you need me to cuss her out for you?”

With a wry smile and shaking his head, Cheng Daqi helplessly replied.

“No need, she’s right, it was my fault.”

“No, she’s wrong, you’re not that kind of person,” Heimei disagreed with Cheng Daqi’s self-deprecation.

“But I did double-deal, I hope she can forgive my deceit, and I hope she continues to be my friend, I really am in the wrong.”

“You’re not wrong, I just feel like you’re not wrong.”

Sani was still quite stubborn.

“Give me your phone, I’ll cuss her out!”

In her heart, Cheng Daqi was ‘family,’ and ‘family’ was the best and beyond reproach by anyone else.

Cheng Daqi didn’t respond to Sani’s request, instead he had Cao Yueyue take a video of the employees working.

Then, with Shanhaiguan Media’s registration information and chat records discussing work with Cao Yueyue, he sent the video to the brunette rich lady.

Cheng ‘left speechless, human growth always comes with lessons, it’s just that the cost of this lesson is a bit heavy for me.

I’m very sorry, Mi’er, it seems I’ve screwed up again, so I apologize once more, I really am sorry about you.’

Temir was taking pictures with the ambient night lights on the balcony when she saw the message notification from Cheng Daqi, but she didn’t want to reply at all.

“Why are you apologizing to her!

She blatantly insulted you, why should you be apologizing!”

Sani was genuinely irritated by Cheng Daqi’s submissiveness.

How sick must you be to apologize after being insulted?

“Today’s kidnapping case made me realize something, Sani.

I always talked about sincerity, but always treated skilled sincerity as a means to an end.

It’s shameful, especially using such tricks on those who consider me a friend—it’s very shameful.”

Cheng Daqi closed his eyes, wearily explaining.

He had wanted to use Temir to break into the American scene, with the cooperation already agreed upon.

But he couldn’t face his own heart, this unnecessary behavior was quite childish.

Having ‘died’ twice, Cheng Daqi really didn’t want to deceive a girl who considered him a friend anymore.

Before the cooperation started, he wanted to try some genuine honesty.

Sincerity is important, Cheng Daqi liked sincerity.

But a completely sincere gentleman is hard to adapt to this era, so often, Cheng Daqi had to rely on certain techniques.

As a friend, Temir took him to get medical treatment, gave him a chance to collaborate, and invited him to stay in her villa.

Everything, everything, the brunette rich lady had indeed done more than enough.

But what about him?

From the first sentence of their meeting to the subsequent actions masking lies, it was all techniques!

“Looking at you like this, I think you owe me an apology too, can you do that?”

Heimei said indignantly.

She was really infuriated by Cheng Daqi’s antics.

“No, that won’t do, hahaha.”

Ruffling Heimei’s hair, Cheng Daqi refused her unreasonable request.

Seeing that Temir had not replied yet, Cheng Daqi decided to say what he wanted in one go.

Cheng ‘Thanks for taking me to treat my cold, please send me the hospital bill, I will pay you back.’

After sending the message, the police cars also arrived at the hospital entrance.

—————–

‘Our Niangniang Temple precinct officers are never daunted by difficulty!

With our swift action, the kidnappers in the Red Street Library were all killed on the spot!

All the hostages were unharmed!

This isn’t my personal achievement.

Governor Niusen was present on the spot, partaking in the command from the very first moment the kidnapping case broke out.

It was under the guidance of Governor Niusen that we found the advantageous opportunity to defeat the kidnappers and achieve success in one fell swoop!

GOD bless America, GOD bless everyone!

Now I would like to pass the stage to Mr.

Governor, let’s welcome him with applause!’

Pleased with Gru’s awareness, Niusen patted Gru’s shoulder on his way to the stage.

‘As a child who grew up in California, as…’

The talk of a Democratic Party politician is always the same, steady and self-praising, and Niusen was no exception.

But someone was furiously berating the press conference live broadcast on television.

“They’re just spouting bullshit!

The assault was carried out by us SWAT!

We lost so many officers of SWAT, and now it turns out to be Gru’s credit!

Shameless!!”

Klauer held his head, roaring in agony.

His career was ruined.

He didn’t even get the five million.

And now other people brazenly took the credit.

Klauer couldn’t face, couldn’t face this harsh conclusion.
