Chapter 43 The owner of this car is not you.
Since the beginning of this show, Jiang Yichen has been establishing himself as a rich second-generation man who is in need of love.
Although my family is wealthy, I have little company from my parents and few true friends. I have also been deceived many times while growing up.
Thus, the character of a kind, pitiful, affectionate and naive young master who is always betrayed was established.
The effects were good before, and many viewers even liked and sympathized with him, saying that rich people are often friendlier to the world.
During his date with Gao Yan, he also used this trick to "narrow" the distance between them, which was a turning point in the warming of their relationship in the eyes of CP fans.
Unexpectedly, this time I met Chu Ling who didn't buy it at all.
"……Hahaha."
Jiang Yicheng laughed awkwardly twice and said, "You really know how to joke."
"My proposal is serious."
Chu Ling said lightly, "I can bear this pain for you. There's no family to accompany you, no true friends. It doesn't matter. Transfer your worries to me, so you can be yourself."
The system thought to itself, Jiang Yichen saying this in front of her was simply walking into her trap.
Chu Ling is just the opposite. She doesn't need a lot of love, she just wants a lot of money - even if it comes at the cost of a lot of hatred.
"Or if you don't want to call me, you can use the money to do some charity and help those in need. Then you'll gain a lot of sincerity, right?"
She counted on her fingers, held up two and shook them. "Look, although you lost money, you gained the true love you longed for and were freed from your worries. The other person also received help. It's a win-win situation, how wonderful."
After saying that, Chu Ling showed a somewhat innocent expression again, "You don't want to do it because you can't bear to do it, right?"
Why are you pretending to be a good person here?
Jiang Yicheng: "..."
The views of both sides in the barrage have become the same.
[Sister Chu made me laugh to death. As expected, it's still Sister Chu. Playing the victim is useless to her.]
Is she using moral blackmail to force donations? Don't be so possessive of other people's money. She seems really anti-rich.
Is this considered hatred of the rich? Didn't Jiang Yicheng himself say that being a second-generation rich kid makes him feel annoyed? Then why don't you let me be one for two days?
Chu Ling is now arguing over everything for traffic. Is there something wrong with what Jiang Yicheng said? Do rich people not have to worry?
I've seen this before in previous episodes. Jiang Yicheng and Gao Yan have played this misery game before, and now he's bringing it up again. While there's nothing wrong with it, it still feels strange. Does he really think his life is miserable? I don't believe it.
Chu Ling didn't believe it either.
I don't think he really has no friends.
People have friends of the same level as they reach. Even rich second-generations have rich second-generation friends. Since both of them have money, there is no such thing as being attracted to each other because of the other's money.
Falling in love is even more so, is it really necessary to come to a dating variety show?
There's something wrong with this statement.
Jiang Yichen's character sounds sympathetic on the surface, but in fact it is full of flaws.
“…”
Jiang Yicheng could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course, of course I sometimes do charity work, but you know, the feeling I get from it is still different."
“That’s why I chose to open this pub.”
He simply found another topic to talk about. "By the way, do you want to try our new products?"
Chu Ling asked: "What?"
Jiang Yicheng didn't answer directly, but only said: "If you want to drink it, I can make it for you myself."
Chu Ling thought about it and said, "Okay."
The two came to the bar.
Jiang Yichen unbuttoned his cuffs, pulled up his sleeves, revealing the watch on his wrist, pushed it up slightly and then went to get the wine.
He took out a bottle of bourbon whiskey, and the amber liquid poured down from the bottle. He added a little lemon juice and some ice cubes. The series of actions were completed as smoothly as flowing water, just like a real professional bartender.
The comments were all praising his handsomeness.
Chu Ling intuitively felt that he must have practiced quite a few times in order to be on the show.
"Come on, try it."
Jiang Yicheng placed the prepared wine in front of her and said, "It's not officially on sale yet, so just consider it a review for me."
Chu Ling took a sip.
…It may look fancy when mixing cocktails, but the taste is actually pretty ordinary.
If we only sell wine, it probably won’t sell well.
Chu Ling asked casually, "Have you chosen a name?"
"not yet."
Jiang Yicheng smiled and said, "But if possible, I would like to call it Butterfly Dream."
Chu Ling: “…”
She took a look at the wine.
What is the relationship?
It doesn't look sticky.
She thought about it for a moment and understood. On the one hand, the token of her and Jiang Yicheng's recognition of their relationship today was a butterfly, which was a cue to her. On the other hand, Gao Yan also liked the element of butterflies, which was like selling another CP.
One wine, two meals.
That's really what business people do.
"I was careless."
Chu Ling sighed to the system, "He wants me to advertise for him. In the future, he can say that this is Chu Ling's special drink to attract people to check in."
The system was very suspicious and asked, "Do you think someone would come here specifically to check in with the same item as yours?"
Chu Ling feigned anger and said, "Although I'm not a big star now, I still have commercial value, okay? Normal endorsements and promotions require payment!"
Jiang Yichen is giving her free advertising!
You wish!
So Chu Ling said, "The name Butterfly Dream doesn't seem distinctive enough. Let's change it."
Jiang Yicheng became interested: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Chu Ling turned the wine glass in his hand and said casually: "Six hundred thousand years."
Jiang Yicheng listened and asked, "Why?"
"For a novice bartender, it's pretty good to get past the passing line. Sixty is a big win."
Chu Ling curled his lips and said, "You can keep trying next time."
“…”
Jiang Yichen, who had put in a lot of effort to pretend successfully and was about to be praised, almost vomited blood.
Who did you say just passed?
Jiang Yicheng smiled awkwardly, "It seems the taste is not very suitable."
"I'm really a novice and still need to improve. I'm not a professional either. I opened the pub just for my own interest."
Jiang Yicheng finished speaking, and seeing that Chu Ling didn't ask, he had to add, "Aren't you curious about the reason?"
Chu Ling: It’s none of my business.
But often when a person talks about this, he or she wants to tell his or her own story.
She propped her head up with her hands and said lazily, "Why? Find something for yourself to do, otherwise you'll be accused of being a parasite."
Jiang Yicheng: "..."
How did the person who had been with Chu Ling before do it?
He could only endure it for a while before he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Because here, I'm not my parents' child, I'm not some Young Master Jiang."
His eyes grew melancholic. "I'm just the owner of Whisper. No one knows my identity. Sometimes I chat with customers, listen to their stories, and share their joys and sorrows. At that moment, I feel like I'm living more as myself, as an ordinary person."
“Even though I don’t make much money, this is the meaning of my life.”
Chu Ling: “?”
No, buddy, are you some famous person?
There are so many people in this world who don’t know you.
Besides, if you really don't want others to know, then don't expose your tavern. He even mentioned the name of the tavern when he spoke.
Chu Ling had reason to suspect that he actually just wanted to advertise his own pub.
But many people in the barrage obviously like this.
[Our young master has had a very difficult journey.]
[A rich second-generation man personally made me a drink. What if it doesn't taste good? It's okay if it doesn't taste good!]
[He's not doing this for money! This is idealism!]
[I feel so bad. Doesn't Chu Ling have any empathy? He even mocks others!]
Chu Ling: “?”
Feeling distressed?
You don't feel sorry for yourself, but you feel sorry for the rich second generation who have fine clothes and delicious food.
Why don’t you look at the watch on his wrist? How can you still feel sorry for him?
Chu Ling glanced at his watch again as he spoke, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"system."
Chu Ling asked, "Can you investigate the character's true background, or find out his belongings?"
The system said: "I can only see the information provided by the original author. What's wrong?"
"His watch..."
Chu Ling pondered, "Why does it feel like it's not real?"
The system was shocked: "Have you bought it?"
Chu Ling sneered: "Then do I still need you to make money for me?"
Of course she had never bought such an expensive watch.
Chu Ling said, "But I saw someone else borrow it before."
Although most celebrities are very wealthy, they often wear branded accessories when walking on the red carpet. On the one hand, this helps them maintain their image, and on the other hand, brands can use celebrities to increase their visibility.
When the crew was walking on the red carpet, the male lead of their crew borrowed this watch.
She had the impression that this watch was a limited edition worldwide, and if it was real, it would cost at least eight figures.
Because it was a very valuable watch, Chu Ling took a few more glances at it.
Although she didn't have an omnipresent memory, the previous incident at the golf course left her with a shadow of doubt, forcing her to doubt it.
Combined with Jiang Yichen's behavior, Chu Ling had a guess.
"very nice."
She continued with Jiang Yicheng's words, "Then can I get a free drink from you next time I come to your place?"
Jiang Yicheng said generously: "Of course, you are welcome anytime."
"That's great."
Chu Ling pressed the issue further, "It just so happens that we're short of wine in our cabin too. Why don't we bring some back tonight? Maybe we can have a party there later."
Jiang Yicheng: "..."
You came to him to purchase goods, right?
Even if he doesn't have the persona of a rich second-generation, he can't say no at this time, as it would seem too stingy.
Forget it, it’s just wine after all, how much can I take?
He said readily, "Of course no problem."
Unexpectedly, after Chu Ling asked for the list, he directly picked out several boxes of the most expensive wine in the store and put them in the trunk.
When Jiang Yichen moved the wine into the trunk, he felt his heart bleeding.
She just pointed casually and ordered wine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Chu Ling looked at Jiang Yichen's hesitant look and guessed that he must be feeling pain in his heart.
For ordinary rich second-generations, this amount is just a drop in the bucket and there is no need to feel bad about it.
Then it was obvious that Jiang Yichen was not—or at least not as rich as he appeared to be.
All Jiang Yichen was thinking about was the hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine that Chu Ling was going to move away.
So much so that on the way back, Jiang Yichen was driving a little absent-mindedly.
Chu Ling was sitting in the passenger seat playing on her phone when the car suddenly braked. She only heard a "bang" and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked up and asked, "What happened?"
The audience watching the live broadcast were also shocked.
What's going on?
【Could it be a car accident!? 】
[Is everyone okay?!]
"Oh, that person just changed lanes too quickly, I wasn't paying attention and bumped into him."
Jiang Yicheng's voice sounded a little guilty, "Who told him to change lanes so fast? I couldn't catch up."
In fact, he knew very well that he was distracted while driving and hit the car that was changing lanes normally.
Fortunately, it was just a minor scratch and both parties were fine.
"I'll go down and take a look."
Jiang Yichen quickly turned off the engine and stopped the car, unbuckled his seat belt, got out to take a look, and the first thing he saw was a dented corner on the left front of the Rolls-Royce, and his face instantly turned green.
The driver of the car in front also stopped and yelled, "My car was fully in, so you guys rear-ended me. You're fully responsible. What do you want to say now?"
Chu Ling, wearing a mask, also got out of the car. After looking at the damaged parts of the two cars, he said, "Call the insurance company."
However, when he heard that he had to use insurance, Jiang Yichen's expression became even uglier.
Chu Ling knew there was something fishy when he saw his expression.
"What's wrong? Can't fight?"
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Or, is it because you're not the owner of this car, so you can't hit it?"
