Chapter 172 Jiang Ning is a jinx
During the day, Crow Feather Mountain is not as menacing and terrifying as it is at night.
However, the mountain road is still winding and difficult to drive on.
"Young Master Yuan, are you serious?"
Jiang Ning sat in a sunset orange BMW sports car, rolled down the window, and asked Yuan Pei next to him.
The car was provided by Yuan Pei.
Yuan Pei also drives a BMW sports car, which is exactly the same as hers, but modified to look the same.
It's just a matte gray color.
In fact, Jiang Ning believes that in terms of personality, she is more suited to matte gray, while Yuan Pei is more suited to sunset orange.
"Once a man has made his word, it is hard to follow him!"
Yuan Pei gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up.
They used the app to generate the starting signal and rushed off together.
At the beginning, everyone was in the same boat.
However, Yuan Pei's matte gray jogger was quickly left far behind by Jiang Ning's sunset orange jogger.
After Jiang Ning reached the finish line, he got off the car and stood by it waiting for Yuan Pei. His legs were aching from waiting.
Finally, Yuan Pei reached the finish line.
"Alright, I was thinking you'd be in a bad mood lately, and that your driving skills would be affected too. I was even thinking I might be able to beat you this time!"
Yuan Pei's words made Jiang Ning chuckle.
"Driving skills may indeed be affected by mood, but... who said I've been in a bad mood lately?"
"It's all because..."
Yuan Pei had just opened his mouth when he covered it again.
The scandal in Jiangning was so big that everyone in the business district knew about it.
Yuan Pei had wanted to contact Jiang Ning for a long time, but his father wouldn't allow it.
Now, people in the business community generally believe that Jiangning is a jinx, and anyone who gets involved with him will not have a good ending.
Yuan Pei knew that Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning had divorced, and he had also heard that Jiang Ning's company had gone bankrupt.
He waited and waited, intending to contact Jiang Ning after the negative news had died down, but the trending topic disappeared all at once. So he quickly called Jiang Ning and asked him to come out for a match.
"Forget about that, let's talk about our match!"
Jiang Ning gave a wry smile.
What's there to say about her match against Yuan Pei?
She won beautifully!
"cough……"
Yuan Pei cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "I lost this match and you won. As agreed before the match, I should give you a five million yuan bonus."
Jiang Ning was shocked.
"We didn't say that before the match."
“I said it in my heart,” Yuan Pei argued, “Anyway, take the five million.”
Yuan Pei wanted to give Jiang Ning a bank card with five million yuan saved in it.
Jiang Ning dodged it and didn't take it.
She realized that Yuan Pei's sudden call to invite her to the competition was just a pretext.
What Yuan Pei really wanted to do was give her money.
"You've already won, it's just a prize money, what's there to be afraid of?" Yuan Pei's face was flushed. "How about considering it apology for my past bad attitude towards you..."
Jiang Ning could tell that Yuan Pei really wanted to give her the five million.
"Consider it a personal investment in you. Once you make money, I'll take a share of the profits, okay?"
Yuan Pei blushed, flustered and anxious after being rejected by Jiang Ning.
He knew Jiang Ning needed money.
This money was his own pocket money; he couldn't touch the company's money or the family's money, so he could only take out five million.
"Do you think it's not enough?"
"No, no."
Jiang Ning, fearing that Yuan Pei would misunderstand, quickly waved his hand.
She simply didn't want Yuan Pei's financial support.
Because of Yuan Pei—
He is Lu Junyan's friend.
Jiang Ning could tell that Yuan Pei's initiative to provide financial assistance to her had nothing to do with Lu Junyan.
But she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, always feeling that if she accepted Yuan Pei's investment, she would be ridiculed by Lu Junyan sooner or later.
Yuan Pei stared intently at Jiang Ning's face.
Jiang Ning has lost a lot of weight compared to before she went to the United States.
She is naturally beautiful without wearing makeup.
Yuan Pei couldn't help but think that Jiang Ning must have suffered a lot these past few days.
He felt suffocated just reading about the online abuse directed at Jiang Ning.
Yuan Pei felt very regretful and angry with himself.
Because he couldn't help Jiang Ning.
This five million can be considered his compensation to Jiang Ning.
"I didn't mean to make things difficult for you..."
Yuan Pei muttered to himself.
More or less, he guessed what Jiang Ning was thinking.
Jiang Ning's refusal to accept his money was most likely related to Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning always makes this expression whenever Lu Junyan is involved.
Yuan Pei involuntarily frowned.
In the past, when he saw Jiang Ning being infatuated with Lu Junyan, he would only look down on Jiang Ning from the bottom of his heart, thinking that Jiang Ning was shameless and throwing herself at him.
However, now...
Jiang Ning would feel very irritated if his thoughts were even slightly involved with Lu Junyan.
Why bother with him when you're already divorced!
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Yuan Pei swallowed them back.
So what are your plans for the future?
"Let's find a class to take first!" Jiang Ning smiled as she turned around.
Even though it was a bitter smile, Yuan Pei was stunned.
In the end, Jiang Ning made a promise with Yuan Pei that if she ever really needed the five million, she would come to Yuan Pei for it at any time.
Yuan Pei then agreed to take the bank card back.
Jiang Ning would much rather work independently than find a job.
If Yuan Pei truly valued her design skills and was investing in her, she wouldn't have refused.
Unfortunately, Yuan Pei was not one of them.
These days, jobs are hard to find, especially in the jewelry design industry.
This industry isn't very big, and Jiang Ning is a "celebrity".
Black and red are still red.
No ordinary company would dare to hire her.
After all, her current reputation is that of a promiscuous private life, and she has been cut off by business tycoons. In addition, Fu Xinyue has revealed that she made jewelry that was indistinguishable from the real thing.
With so many debuffs on her, it's no wonder she can't find a designer job easily.
Pitt did contact her, but given her current "qualifications," going to FY might damage Pitt's reputation, so she declined.
Jingjiang Dihua.
Jiang Ning, dressed in a waiter's uniform, was serving tea and water to the guests.
She is now a waitress here.
Before the winter season started, it was wishful thinking for her to think that winning prize money from racing would be her first pot of gold, especially since she didn't even own a car yet.
However, she can borrow the modified race car from Yuan Pei, so for now she only needs to work odd jobs for a month to get through this difficult period.
Jiang Ning still remembered that the last time he came to Jingjiang Dihua, he was as a musician.
The lobby manager of Jingjiang Dihua originally hoped that she would continue to be a pianist, but Jiang Ning chose to be a waitress herself.
She can play the double keyboard, but not the grand piano.
As Jiang Ning was handing two glasses of red wine to the guests, she caught a glimpse of two people walking in through the glass revolving door.
There were two women.
Both women were dressed in haute couture gowns, looking glamorous and clearly wealthy.
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that he had chosen the wrong place to work.
"As expected of Xinyue Real Estate, they are really rich and powerful. They even acquired the most impressive hotel in our City A."
"What's this compared to Miss Chu? Once you and Mr. Lu are married, you'll be the mistress of the Lu Group, much wealthier than our Xinyue Real Estate!"
Chu Qingxue and Fu Xinyue walked into the magnificent hall of Jingjiang Dihua, chatting and laughing.
