Chapter 204: Business Queen

But when you think about it, in this day and age, rarity holds value, and it’s often the unusual professions that receive high praise compared to others.

Just like the much-hyped "milk inducers" of a few years ago, who manually expressed milk for mothers who couldn’t produce it after childbirth, drawing yearly salaries over a million. Nowadays, society hardly finds such occupations peculiar, especially since they are internationally renowned specialists.

"Hello, my name is Qiao Bu’en, it is a pleasure to meet you..."

The man, graceful and suave, had a sunny smile and an air of distinction. His every gesture exuded a regal presence as he reached out politely to Nangong Bing.

However, Nangong Bing felt indifference at most toward him. Her cold demeanor showed no signs of change, and seeing that she ignored the hand he extended, Qiao Bu’en didn’t seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he slowly retracted his hand, keeping his rich smile unchanged, exuding an air of a magnanimous gentleman who doesn’t sweat the small stuff.

But according to Nangong Bing’s exacting tastes, Qiao Bu’en would score only sixty at most in her eyes—a far cry from a comparison with the man behind the bronze mask.

Yet, judging by his attire and the branded watch on his wrist, this stranger did indeed have taste. At least compared to Lin Zifeng, there was no comparison.

"Hello, Nangong Bing."

A sense of innate superiority made Nangong Bing’s tone unchanging when talking to anyone, her face still cold and devoid of emotion.

"Nangong Bing! Could this beautiful lady be Tianyu Group’s top director, Miss Nangong?" Qiao Bu’en murmured to himself, quickly recalling a familiar name. Nangong Bing was known as the most beautiful woman in the business community of Zhonghai City, not only stunning but also legendary for her business acumen, seemingly without peer.

"Thank you."

Nangong Bing replied politely, as she’d long grown accustomed to people’s astonished responses. Over the years, each time her name was mentioned, nearly every self-proclaimed "phoenix man" would be utterly subdued, and she could even predict their next moves—entirely predictable.

There was nothing novel about their attempts to get acquainted with women.

"I had no idea that this striking lady would turn out to be Miss Nangong from Tianyu Group. Today has truly been an eye-opener. Indeed, as the rumors say, Miss Nangong’s real-life charisma is absolutely first-rate. Had I not been fortunate enough to talk with Miss Nangong for a few moments, I’d have certainly missed a great opportunity."

Qiao Bu’en believed that his skills in wooing women with words were excellent, almost always victorious, but today he realized he was entirely mistaken. He had thought he was out hunting for beauties, but instead, he encountered the top businesswoman of Zhonghai City, Nangong Bing.

Now, despite using every trick in the book, he only met with Nangong Bing’s scornful, icy gaze. Her disdainful and haughty demeanor even displayed a hint of contempt. Suddenly, Qiao Bu’en grew quiet realizing that his incessant chatter would only further disgust Nangong Bing. The slick talk held no sway over her.

Little did he know, Nangong Bing simply harbored a sense of curiosity toward him, while he was dizzied by his own confidence.

"May I know if Miss Nangong is available now to grant me the honor of joining me for a drink? I know a uniquely flavored café inside the Trading Building, and wonder if Miss Nangong could spare some time." This guy, probably just another one dazzled by beauty, initially tried to play it cool but now started flaunting his charm.

Of course, Nangong Bing had encountered plenty of such self-righteous men, only they employed different tactics and schemes.

The aim of everyone was generally the same, nothing more than trying to sweet-talk women into their beds for a night of fun. Affairs of the heart, after all, were not scarce in society with all the comforting of both genders.

Just as Nangong Bing was about to refuse, Lin Zifeng popped out of nowhere. Sticking his head out, he scanned Qiao Bu’en thoroughly without getting noticed and then chuckled gleefully with his eyes lighting up, "And who is this?"

Upon Lin Zifeng’s sudden appearance, Nangong Bing instantly felt her face, previously full of pride, turn utterly crestfallen in that instant.

If she had a sack handy, she probably would have stuffed him into it without a second thought and beaten him to death with a flurry of wild punches.

"And who is this?"

Qiao Bu’en was somewhat stunned. Seeing Lin Zifeng acting as familiar with Nangong Bing as if they were a couple, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

"Yo! Who is this handsome guy?" Lin Zifeng slapped Nangong Bing’s shoulder with no sense of propriety, acting as if they were old friends, totally unaware of what courtesy meant.

What made Nangong Bing wish she could find a crack to crawl into was that this guy had the audacity to ask in front of Qiao Bu’en, "Boss, what are we eating at home tonight?"

This mindless, nutritionless remark instantly made Nangong Bing grimace. Why did it sound so awkward, and why was the tone so suggestively ambiguous?

Even Qiao Bu’en felt a continuous rise of confusion on his forehead, still unclear about the nature of their relationship.

Looking again at Lin Zifeng, whose casual attire lacked both class and taste, how did he know Nangong Bing?

Even taking a giant step back, Nangong Bing, who was essentially the top executive at Tianyu Group, how could someone as insignificant as Lin Zifeng, barely worth more than an ant, have any connection with her?

Over the years, Qiao Bu’en, having seen all sorts of spectacles big and small, was now completely baffled by their overwhelmingly complex relationship.

But years of experience in wooing women had endowed Qiao Bu’en with an uncommon perspective; if Nangong Bing truly had some connections with this country bumpkin, then why would her eyes reveal disgust and her expressions show disdain and embarrassment?

In an instant, Qiao Bu’en made a decision, whether or not Nangong Bing was actually involved with this country bumpkin, he must relentlessly pursue her.

After all, a graceful lady is a gentleman’s true match.

For any normal man, pursuing such a beauty was an irresistible urge. Moreover, Nangong Bing’s demeanor and looks were indeed unique, making even Qiao Bu’en, a perennial player, feel somewhat moved.
