Chapter 266 With Face, All the City's Most Influential Figures Are Here
Zhao Qi sat down, frowning as he asked.
Fang Ke was taken aback for a moment, then clicked his tongue and said, "You're not pretending not to recognize me?"
"I wasn't paying attention while playing cards."
"Pack."
Zhao Qi was silent for a while, then said, "The internet was flooded with news about you. I've been offline for over a month and had only just begun to recover when I saw you again. What do you suggest we do?"
Fang Ke: "…………?"
"Are you dating someone?"
"……Um."
"Is it really him? Aren't you considering anyone else?" Zhao Qi sneered. "Yan Nuo, that coward, knows how to cheat and find loopholes. Didn't he tell you he doesn't need a formal title? Actually, I..."
Fang Ke quickly interrupted him, "Stop, stop, stop."
She finally understood what that subtle atmosphere was all about when she entered the room. If she still couldn't understand it now, she would have lived in vain.
Fang Ke looked at him, puzzled, and asked awkwardly, "When did you...?"
"I don't know...maybe from the moment you boarded the ship."
Fang Ke: "..."
Zhao Qi suddenly had a strong urge to smoke a cigarette. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Really not going to reconsider? I can make concessions."
Fang Ke remained silent for a long time before saying in astonishment, "You all make me feel like a conservative old lady with bound feet."
"Why not give it a try? It won't cost you anything."
Fang Ke quickly waved his hand, "...Never mind, I can't handle your young people's stuff."
She suddenly smiled and said, "Junior, I've always felt that you and I are very similar, or rather, we're the same kind of people, which is why we easily get along."
Zhao Qi slightly raised his eyes. "Isn't this great? The world is so big, who else is as opportunistic as us?"
Fang Ke smiled and nodded, "Hmm... So, would you like someone just because they like you?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"You never look back at the people chasing after you, right?"
Fang Ke looked at him, her eyes were warm and gentle, but Zhao Qi felt an unprecedented cruelty.
"Me too."
"..."
Zhao Qi pursed his lips into a straight line. At this moment, he really wondered if there was such a thing as retribution.
He had always looked down on the women who chased after him, occasionally ordering them around and teasing them when he felt like it, but he never took it seriously. He never expected Fang Ke to hit the nail on the head.
So, was it God's way of punishing him by giving him someone he couldn't have?
His bangs covered his eyebrows and eyes, and after a long while he said quietly, "You are so cold."
Fang Ke smiled and patted his shoulder, "Since you're here, I won't sit here. You stay and wait for him to wake up."
"...You don't even want to sit anymore?"
Fang Ke had just stood up when she awkwardly scratched her nose. "No, it's just that I think it would be better for you to be alone for a while right now."
"..." Zhao Qi chuckled, "So I should thank you for your thoughtfulness?"
Fang Kexiao turned around, waved, and left, saying, "Try to think positively, junior."
Zhao Qi: "..."
After she left, Zhao Qi's previously depressed mood actually brightened up a bit.
Who would tell someone to "take it easy" after they've been rejected?
How can I come to terms with this?
However, this also fits Fang Ke's carefree persona...
Zhao Qi played with the lighter in his hand, unable to help but recall his interactions with Fang Ke over the past month or two.
She was like a shooting star falling from the sky, exploding into dazzling fireworks upon landing; it's unlikely anyone wouldn't be drawn to her.
He suddenly smiled, still believing that there's no such thing as everlasting relationships between people.
Fang Ke had just started dating, so they were inseparable, but what about a few months or a few years later?
Since Fang Ke said she was very similar to him, then they were both cold-hearted people, destined not to have a long-lasting relationship.
Zhao Qi doesn't mind waiting to poach talent at any time, or waiting to see what happens.
He really managed to calm himself down and returned to his aloof, unruly, and unpredictable self.
Zhao Qi coldly said to the person lying down, "How much longer are you going to pretend to be asleep?"
Yan Nuo: "..."
"If you keep pretending to be asleep, I won't mind setting your hair on fire with a lighter."
Yan Nuo sat up abruptly, clutching her head, and said, "You fucking..."
"Fun?"
"...I was really dizzy from that bump. Didn't I hear you confessing your feelings over there? I was so loyal, I didn't interrupt or cause any trouble, shouldn't you thank your dad?"
"Just say you want to see a joke."
Yan Nuo: "..."
For a few seconds, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. However, Zhao Qi's confession also failed, and he found the other person more pleasing to the eye. The two of them were truly brothers in misfortune.
Zhao Qi patted his suit jacket and stood up, giving him a cold, disdainful look. "Don't look at me like that, like you're looking at a coward. I'm not like you."
Yan Nuo scoffed, "You think you're so great, so noble, but you still got rejected."
"So what?"
Zhao Qi walked out with an arrogant look on his face. Yan Nuo stared at his back and chuckled, "Trying to look tough when you're not."
However, after sitting on the sofa for a while, a sense of loss began to creep in.
After listening to Fang Ke and Zhao Qi's conversation, Yan Nuo felt that her hopes were even slimmer.
Fang Ke is excellent, powerful, and also ruthless.
She won't stay because of other people's feelings; she will only pursue what she wants.
Yan Nuo felt incredibly bitter, and for the ten thousandth and first time, he wanted to go back in time and slap himself to death.
He may have already lost his chance to compete when he first arrogantly kicked Fang Ke out of the car and humiliated her with money.
Fang Ke went to the lobby to play with Song Fei and Pei Sifan. Playing with them was the least stressful thing for her, and she felt a little emotional.
When she first came to this world, she felt completely out of place and all she wanted was to go back.
But after meeting these people, she found solace and support in her emotions and heart. Now she has family, friends, and lovers in this world.
Fang Ke didn't know how long it had been since she had thought about going home. She was becoming more and more accustomed to this world, which also made her a little alert. She remembered that Ye Si had talked about world consciousness, and wondered if she had also been affected.
At the same time, she was also assigning tasks to Little B in her mind.
"Let's start by investigating Yan Nuo's parents' interpersonal relationships. Yan Nuo will be 24 today after his birthday, so let's start from 30 years ago."
Little B sycophantically said, "Boss, I already sent an email to your brother in your name, but I didn't expect this to happen 30 years ago. Boss is really smart! I'll send another one!"
Fang Ke: "...You're being overly enthusiastic today."
"As long as I can complete the mission, I don't mind being a little tired!"
Fang Ke said, "Stop. Don't get carried away with your enthusiasm. But if you have this drive, I believe our efficiency will double."
They were talking when a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
"Holy crap... what's going on here...?"
"Yi Mohan, the heir of the Yi Group..."
"Xiao Yichen, the heir of Tianqi Group..."
"Is that Su Yao, the popular star, next to Xiao Yichen? Wow... isn't she Yi Mohan's woman? Why is she sticking so close to Xiao Yichen?"
"Fang Yefan is here too, I'm going..."
"The last one seems to be Ye Si, the newly appointed vice president of the Yi Group. Although he's not a member of the same family, he's on equal footing with Yi Mohan in the group. My dad even told me to learn from him..."
"Yan Nuo's birthday banquet is incredibly prestigious; all the city's most influential figures are here. Amazing."
Fang Ke's gaze swept over familiar faces, and he noticed that Xiao Qin had also arrived. Fang Manman, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, was also following behind Su Yao and Xiao Yichen.
"interesting."
Little B seemed to have discovered a key point: "This seems to be the second time all five male leads have gathered together. Wow, something big is about to happen!"
"Yes, it looks like today is destined to be lively."
Fang Ke stood calmly to one side, and at that moment, the eyes of these influential figures in the eyes of others all fell on her, with different expressions.
