Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Short on Cash? (Part 10)

Sheng Jianan had already withdrawn his gaze without waiting for Yun Fan to come back, calmly sipping the tea beside him, which was actually not bad, though he deemed it quite inferior.

Not long after, the food was served, and the waitress was a young girl in her twenties. She obviously recognized Sheng Jianan, and couldn’t help but glance at him while serving, her cheeks a rosy tint, looking a bit starstruck.

After the waitress left, Yun Fan couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Your charm is still as strong as ever, even a waitress is captivated by you."

Sheng Jianan raised an eyebrow, looking justifiably smug.

"How about visiting your hospital next Monday?"

"Hmm? Why, have you changed your mind so quickly and decided to work for me?"

"There are a few good projects, I’m a bit interested."

Yun Fan said as he raised his glass, "Hope Mr. Sheng won’t exploit the employees too much."

"No worries, no worries, I’ve always been a very responsible Zhou Bapi."

The two men exchanged a smile. The brotherly bond between Sheng Jianan and Yun Fan was quite different from that with Zhou Chengze, naturally, their interaction was different too.

After Sheng Jianan and Yun Fan finished their meal and went downstairs, Tang Yanqi had already left. Yun Fan went to settle the bill, while Sheng Jianan unintentionally glanced at the spot where Tang Yanqi had been sitting.

He frowned subconsciously. This weekend, he seemed to pay too much attention to this woman, which wasn’t a good sign.

Upon leaving the private restaurant, Sheng Jianan still had an appointment with Zhou Chengze in the evening. Yun Fan seldom took part in such activities, so he went home first. Sheng Jianan didn’t drive and walked to the roadside to hail a cab, but perhaps due to the time, no empty taxis passed by for several minutes.

Sheng Jianan’s gaze shifted slightly, unexpectedly spotting Tang Yanqi again.

The sky was quite dark, and although there were many street lights and storefront lights around, it was still dim. Sheng Jianan didn’t even realize that he recognized that woman again in such lighting.

In a corner not far from him, it seemed someone was standing in front of her, dressed in a basketball uniform, holding what looked like a letter.

For some reason, Sheng Jianan recalled seeing Tang Yanqi entangled with a guy at K University that day. Could it be that this was another confession?

Ha, is this woman that popular?

Driven by some inexplicable impulse, Sheng Jianan took a couple of steps in that direction, sidestepping to stand behind a large tree. From this closer distance, with the surroundings quiet enough, Sheng Jianan could clearly hear the conversation.

"Senior, I... I like you, can you..."

The boy’s voice was gentle, but before he could finish, Tang Yanqi interrupted, "What a coincidence, I like myself too."

"..."

The boy fell silent, seemingly at a loss for what to say. Tang Yanqi didn’t outright reject him, but feigning ignorance was as good as a direct rejection, wasn’t it?

After a few seconds of silence, the boy hurriedly said, "Sorry, Senior, for disturbing you."

Immediately, Sheng Jianan heard the sound of the boy running away quickly. His lips involuntarily curled into a smile, this woman... quite clever.

As Sheng Jianan was about to leave, he heard a stranger’s voice from that direction, "Hehe, Tangtang, your skill at turning people down is growing by the day, not bad, not bad."

"Practice makes perfect."

"Ahem... Tang, Teacher Qi wants to educate you, narcissism is a sickness, it needs to be cured."
