I laughed so loudly, but the Great Demon King's facial nerves didn't show the slightest sign of loosening.
Oh dear.
Is he born with facial paralysis...
After taking a short break to catch my breath, I said, "Thank you, Mr. Rong, for choosing to team up with me and form an alliance. You know Cheng Yu. You can ask him about me when you get a chance. I'm a very sincere person, whether in business or in life. I treat everyone equally. So you can rest assured on this matter. I'm very tight - lipped and efficient in handling things. You can just tell me your requirements, and I'll definitely cooperate fully."
Rong Bo carried himself with great poise and simply replied, "Hm."
It was only then that I understood what he meant by being satisfied with me. "My luck with the opposite sex used to be extremely bad. It was worse than bad. I almost went on a blind date with a drug addict not long ago. It was only after I met you that I realized a truth. I exhausted all my romantic luck just to wait for you."
Rong Bo: "..."
I didn't think there was any ambiguity in what I said. "I don't need love in my life. What I need most is a good teacher and friend. With your status and vision, if I can make a friend like you, my life will surely take several big steps forward."
Rong Bo: "Your occupation?"
I respectfully and obsequiously handed him one of my business cards with both hands. "I'm mainly a well - known beauty blogger named Xing Zai, and my side job is being the Chairman Song of an ordinary beauty company."
I'm not bragging.
My entrepreneurship was really a fluke.
Back then, I searched all over the world for an ideal lipstick color. But the ones I found either had the wrong color or I didn't like the texture.
Finally, when I couldn't find one, I went to the manufacturer's laboratory and made one myself. After I did a live makeup trial, my fans really wanted it. So I mass - produced it, and it sold out.
I thought it was just a one - time thing.
But then I designed an eyeshadow palette, and it also sold out.
So I just set up a factory to produce my own unique products. Then I opened a pre - sale channel online and sold the goods through e - commerce.
Of course.
These achievements may seem like a legend to little girls.
But in front of a capital tycoon like Rong Bo, they're nothing.
Rong Bo was really well - mannered. He carefully looked at my business card and respectfully put it into his front shirt pocket.
This was the closest my business card had ever been to a big shot.
I could already see my glorious future waving to me in the distance.
The big shot finally opened the path to wealth for us mere mortals. "How many years have you been in business?"
I suppressed the excitement in my heart and replied obediently, "Two years."
The big shot: "When do you plan to go public?"
Oh my god.
If I hadn't tried hard to hold back my lips, I would have burst out laughing.
I calmly replied to the big shot, "Within three years."
The big shot: "Why does it need to take so long?"
Me: "..."
Cheng Yu said that a three - year deadline was already very tight.
Why does it need to take so long?
I could sense a hint of disdain from the big shot's calm eyes.
So I self - deprecatingly said, "It's okay. I didn't start a company just to make money. I just want to do what I want to do at this age. The result doesn't really matter. As long as I've given it my all and enjoyed the process, I'm already satisfied."
Rong Bo stared into my eyes for a few seconds with his deep eyes.
I felt a bit nervous and swallowed hard.
"Really?" Rong Bo said calmly, "I was still thinking about investing. Well, I wish you success in your entrepreneurship."
Me: ...
I wanted to cry. I was heartbroken.
I just missed out on an investment of billions of dollars.
My heart was bleeding. "… Thank you."
Back to the main topic.
After Rong Bo and I added each other as friends on social media, I said, "Remember to like all my posts in the future. Pay attention to the details."
Rong Bo: "Hm."
I thought for a while and said, "If it's too obvious, the elders will notice. Let's just go at a normal pace. For now, a lukewarm attitude is more appropriate."
Rong Bo: "Hm."
Me: "For now, you can just keep my name as Song Wenxing in your contacts. It suits your personality."
Rong Bo: "Hm."
Me: "I'll give you a nickname. I'll call you Iceberg."
Rong Bo: "..."
Me: "Haha, don't be angry. Although this word only has two characters, it deeply reflects the rebellious, disdainful, resentful, and coquettish attitude of a young girl with a budding heart after her first blind date. It shows her contradiction and conflict. It not only demonstrates the unyielding spirit of contemporary young women who are not afraid of family coercion but also vividly portrays the shy and coy mentality of a young girl."
Rong Bo: "..."
Me: "If you don't say anything, it means you agree. I'll change it then."
Then I opened my contacts in front of him. The words "Dog Man" were really eye - catching.
Rong Bo frowned slightly: "..."
I awkwardly forced a laugh. "It's a misunderstanding! A friendly fire!"
I quickly deleted it and changed the nickname to Iceberg.
Then I added a cute heart symbol to please him.
After changing it, I didn't want to waste the big shot's precious time anymore. I stood up and said, "Shall we call it a day today? I have a lot of work waiting for me in the company. You must be busy too, right?"
The cold and noble Great Demon King finally stopped speaking in a breathy voice. "Not too bad."
I stood up. "Okay. You're busy. I'll leave first."
Rong Bo: "I'll see you off."
Me: "No need. I came here by bike. It's very convenient."
Rong Bo: "By bike?"
I couldn't help but show off to him. "Yeah~ A heavy - duty motorcycle. You have to keep it a secret for me. My family doesn't allow me to ride it. I usually ride it out secretly."
Rong Bo's expression became a bit solemn.
Oh no.
Was he going to scold me like my dad, saying things like "Are you tired of living by riding a motorcycle? You're just meat on iron." "If you fall, that's your own business, but don't crush innocent drivers." "Public transportation is made unsafe because of people like you."...
But instead, Rong Bo just said, "You're so short. Be careful."
Me: "..."
It wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
To fight back, when I put on my helmet, I said, "Oh, right, Mr. Rong. I think you should just keep your cold attitude in our future interactions."
Rong Bo: "Hm."
I also told him in an equally insulting way, "No girl could stand that, right? One day, our relationship will surely fall apart. It'll be easier to explain to the elders when our cooperation ends."
Rong Bo: "..."
I got on my bike and hit the road.
With the cool and stylish engine roaring, I left my ally behind.
Watching his tall figure and his two bodyguards getting smaller and smaller, a sense of pride gradually welled up in my heart.
Song Wenxing, you're amazing.
You even dared to show your dissatisfaction to a big shot.
After getting on the road, I accelerated, braked, and changed lanes, shuttling through the traffic.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar roar behind me.
I checked my rear - view mirror. Oh, several cool and stylish motorcycle guys were speeding towards me.
I was about to give them the right - of - way.
But then these motorcycles uniformly slowed down. Two of them rushed in front of me, braked, and forced me to stop.
I was a bit scared. Did I disrupt their formation or were they going to challenge me to a race?
Then one of the guys lifted his visor and said to me, "Mr. Rong asked us to escort Miss Song home safely."
Me: !!!!
This Iceberg is so freaking Mary Sue!
Even a Mary Sue in a novel isn't this perfect!
