Although Xu Yanshen's movements were very subtle, Jiang Jianian could still sense that this useless, good-for-nothing Xu Yanshen, who was being manipulated by Ye Yingying, was quite pleased.
Jiang Jianian was driving.
Because of Xu Yanshen and Ye Yingying's identities, they could only eat at hotels with good privacy.
The four of them arrived at the hotel together. The two men walked in front, while the two girls followed behind, taking pictures and whispering intimately. The atmosphere was very pleasant.
Jiang Jianian: ...
Xu Yanshen secretly glanced back, observing Ye Yingying out of the corner of his eye.
He had never truly been in a relationship. In the past, he always seemed perfunctory because he didn't like women, which was more like a way to discourage girls from pursuing him. As long as a girl was very pretty and persistent, Xu Yanshen would generally not refuse her, but the breakup would be quick. When girls don't get any response in a relationship, they start to feel anxious and hysterical. Xu Yanshen gradually became a scumbag in the eyes of girls.
But Xu Yanshen is too good-looking.
When a guy is handsome and has a bad-boy personality, and no girl can resist him, some pretty girls start to get excited. The feelings of attraction during adolescence are complicated. Some girls just want to conquer and challenge him, while others may be attracted but also want to prove their charm. Whatever the reason, Xu Yanshen is very popular among girls. He has had too many girlfriends, but even with so many exes, Xu Yanshen is still very popular among girls.
He was successful with girls, but he felt frustrated with Ye Yingying. Rather than feeling frustrated, it was more like the anxiety of his first love, where he was worried that the girl he liked might not like him back.
Xu Yanshen's cautiousness gave Jiang Jianian a headache.
From now on, he'll only be completely controlled, and there's no way he'll be able to take Ye Yingying as far away as possible.
Ye Yingying was indeed full of tricks. After arriving at the hotel, she made an excuse that she was still hungry and asked Ye Zhiwei to accompany her to buy some other snacks nearby.
Inside the private room, only Jiang Jianian and Xu Yanshen were staring at each other.
Xu Yanshen smiled politely and said, "Mr. Jiang, please see what you would like to eat first."
Jiang Jianian naturally didn't stand on ceremony. After receiving the menu, he skillfully selected the dishes that Ye Zhiwei liked. He glanced at Xu Yanshen and said indifferently, "Even if you manage to win over Ye Yingying, you'll still be overshadowed by her."
"My original intention was simply to win her over. Once I did, I would naturally pamper her and be completely subservient to her, which I would do willingly."
Jiang Jianian sneered, "She comes to my place every day to try and take him away, and you just go along with her?"
Xu Yanshen smiled and said, "It's just that I have a good relationship with Miss Ye. Since she likes me, it's not appropriate to restrict her."
Jiang Jianian: As expected, he is utterly useless.
Jiang Jianian sneered, a laugh that made Xu Yanshen inwardly grumble: When Jiang Jianian is with Ye Zhiwei, he always defers to Ye Zhiwei in everything. At most, he just has a colder expression and a stronger aura, but he is still overshadowed. How dare he look down on him?
Of course, Xu Yanshen only dared to think this in his heart. Facing Jiang Jianian, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Indeed, I am no match for Mr. Jiang. I like Ye Yingying, so I am easily manipulated. Mr. Jiang likes Miss Ye and is willing to bow down and obey her—"
Jiang Jianian took a sip of tea. "Be more sensible in the future. It's your business if you want to go along with Ye Yingying, but don't let her keep trying to get close to me and my fiancée."
Xu Yanshen gave a dry laugh, "This..."
Before he could say anything more, Jiang Jianian interrupted Xu Yanshen, glancing at him and saying, "You were so unwilling to admit it before, but now you're willing to admit you like Ye Yingying? It's just a pity that you're not quite ready to slowly boil Ye Yingying down to a warm pot."
Xu Yanshen: ...
Jiang Jianian said calmly, "Ye Yingying is ambitious and likes people who can be controlled and helped her. You are still far from being in this position. Since you started as a broadcaster and later entered the music industry, you should know a lot about the self-media and online broadcasting industry. Instead of relying on the entertainment industry to make money, you should make the most of your current popularity and advantages to cultivate your own company. I don't know much about you, but you should understand."
This is giving Xu Yanshen some pointers.
Xu Yanshen had always been investing and acquiring shares, but he had been hesitant about whether to start his own business as well. It was a very risky path, and he could fall to the bottom if he was not careful.
Just as Xu Yanshen was still hesitating, Jiang Jianian glanced at him and continued, "I will invest and introduce you to professionals. The rest is up to you."
Xu Yanshen was stunned. He asked in surprise, "Why did you help me—"
"Why do you think so?" Jiang Jianian took a sip of water and continued, "Make progress faster, be more sensible, and be more mature after being with Ye Yingying."
The words were phrased subtly, but a more accurate translation would be: It's unlikely you can catch up with Ye Yingying on your own. Don't be foolish enough to continue listening to Ye Yingying and letting her manipulate you. Once you catch up with Ye Yingying, have some sense and take her far away from Ye Zhiwei.
Xu Yanshen originally thought that as a live streamer, he only needed to earn enough money to spend on himself. But now he realized that his current level was far from enough. If he wanted to firmly control his future life trajectory, he had to continue to climb higher, just like Jiang Jianian. He no longer cared about this amount of money and could do things entirely according to his own preferences.
Ye Yingying is surrounded by people like Jiang Jianian. If he doesn't work harder, he will only be outdone by more people like him.
