Xie Linchuan understood almost immediately that the woman had been deliberately manipulating him with her words; she had her eye on him and wanted to offer him to Jiang Tian.
Therefore, no matter what, she was determined to achieve this goal.
Xie Linchuan had to admit that he needed to see Jiang Tian, so he had to agree to her request.
After telling the manager, Xie Linchuan walked out of the bar under the manager's ambiguous gaze and quickly found the Maybach.
Upon seeing him, the driver looked him up and down before letting him sit in the back.
Throughout the journey, Xie Linchuan did not attempt to ask the driver any questions, and the driver did not seem inclined to engage in conversation with him.
Both of them remained silent.
When they arrived at the entrance of a hotel, the driver dropped him off and handed him a room key.
Xie Linchuan silently accepted it.
He swiped his room card to enter the elevator and stared blankly ahead.
He himself had no idea what he would face next.
But compared to losing to Fu Mingche, that's nothing.
He must win.
Xie Linchuan had just stepped off the elevator when he received another call from Jiang Tian's friend.
“Brother, you’ve arrived, right? The driver just told me you went upstairs with your room key. Here’s the thing, before you go in, I need to remind you of a few things. My sister is very wary. She was only willing to go to a place like that with me today because we haven’t seen each other in a long time. But actually—she’s not someone you can just meet casually.”
Xie Linchuan remained silent.
He had to remember the information the woman gave him as much as possible. He wanted to cooperate with Jiang Tian, but if he didn't gain her trust, the cooperation would be doomed before it even began.
"Today is your golden opportunity, and you must seize it. Let me remind you of a few things. First, don't say anything you shouldn't. If she knows you have ulterior motives for approaching her, you'll be permanently blacklisted. If you're not someone who covets wealth, you wouldn't even be at the hotel. So, let's be frank; you should know how valuable silence is."
"Secondly, listen to whatever she says and do whatever she asks you to do. You've finally gotten this opportunity, so it's never wrong to be an obedient person. If you insist on being unconventional—" The woman suddenly chuckled ambiguously, "We're not young anymore. Your uniqueness might attract some young girls, but it will only be a nuisance to her. So, play the role of an obedient person."
"Thirdly, take whatever she gives you. Don't be coy or act like you're rich and unyielding. We're all adults. Everyone gets what they need. If your value can earn you a reward, then that reward is what you deserve. Don't act like a pushover."
Xie Linchuan listened quietly without offering any opinion.
The woman seemed unconcerned about his thoughts. After explaining the precautions, she said to him, "She should still be awake. It's good that you got the room key, but you should knock on the door first. If she sees you, just say that Sister Lin called you. Do you understand?"
"Um."
Xie Linchuan only said one word.
Sister Lin thought he was just shy, so she softened her tone: "Today is your chance to change your destiny, hurry up and go."
"……good."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Linchuan walked to the door of that room.
In an instant, his mind was filled with many thoughts, yet it also seemed as if he hadn't thought of anything at all.
From the moment he chose to get on the bus, he had already embarked on this path, so why pretend anymore?
Taking a deep breath, Xie Linchuan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
At first, no one opened the door.
Xie Linchuan took a deep breath and knocked on the door again.
He suddenly discovered a bug: Sister Lin hadn't told him how to address Jiang Tian.
"Hello, I'm the person Sister Lin sent to take care of you."
Xie Linchuan's tone was slightly stiff.
After what seemed like an eternity, the door was finally opened.
Jiang Tian wore a white bathrobe, her hair was loose over her shoulders, and she had no makeup on, but her aura was not diminished at all.
When Xie Linchuan looked into her eyes again, his heart still tightened.
Jiang Tian looked at him expressionlessly.
Xie Linchuan's expression grew increasingly stiff.
"Did Lin Shuang send you?"
Xie Linchuan reacted quickly, nodding, "Yes."
"Was it your own choice or were you forced into it?"
Jiang Tian's tone was very serious.
"...I came here of my own volition."
Jiang Tian didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.
Xie Linchuan knew he couldn't avoid her gaze, otherwise he might lose his chance, because this woman wasn't like those greasy people who would let people in to satisfy their own needs.
Jiang Tian was testing him in her own way.
If he failed the test—he knew very well that he wouldn't be able to get through that door today, let alone have a chance to communicate with the two of them later.
This is very detrimental to his plans.
Therefore, he had to look at Jiang Tian and tell her what was on his mind.
He came of his own volition, of course.
If it's not voluntary, who can force him?
Jiang Tian's eyes are very beautiful and clear, but more importantly... they are very intimidating.
Xie Linchuan couldn't decipher the emotions hidden in her eyes.
After all, there is a difference of more than ten years between the two. Xie Linchuan is just an ordinary college student now, while Jiang Tian has already stood on the stage of success and has remained there for many years.
"Come in."
With just three words, Xie Linchuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon.
Jiang Tian simply let him in, and he felt as if he had won. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he could feel a secret pleasure growing from the bottom of his heart.
If she's willing to let him in, then he has hope for the future.
Jiang Tian stayed in a suite, which was quite spacious.
She didn't ask him to sit down, so Xie Linchuan stood there waiting.
"I don't want to waste my breath on you. I'm not in the mood for anything else today. Lin Shuang invited you over on her own initiative, so I can't let her lose face. Go sleep on the sofa and go back tomorrow morning."
Jiang Tian seemed to still be working, and she was very impatient with him.
Xie Linchuan's heart sank. He stared intently at Jiang Tian: "Did I do something wrong?"
Jiang Tian rubbed her temples: "No."
Xie Linchuan pursed his lips. He thought he had been pardoned, but he didn't expect that he had only passed the initial test. This woman was obviously not very interested in him and didn't seem to want to deal with him.
He cannot leave.
Lin Shuang didn't say what to do in this situation.
Xie Linchuan and Jiang Tian got into a competition.
Although his overall conditions weren't great, since Jiang Tian was willing to let him in, he was definitely not someone who could be easily ignored.
Why is Jiang Tian ignoring him? What should he do to get her attention?
Xie Linchuan took Jiang Tian's perfunctory attitude as a second test.
