After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

Beside them stood a man in casual clothes. He was about the same age as Pan Yongbin but had the air of a playboy.

The man’s name was Wang Haichen, the vice president of Jinyuan Noodle Shop.

His father was Wang Xianping, and he was very close with the Pan Family.

The three of them walked out side-by-side. When they reached the entrance, Lin Qiangwei stopped in her tracks.

It was because she saw Lin Jiang’s car.

Seeing Lin Qiangwei stop, Pan Yongbin halted as well.

He and his companion looked toward Lin Jiang’s car.

He recognized Lin Jiang’s Maybach at a glance!

Having been screwed over by Lin Jiang a while back, Pan Yongbin had been looking for a chance to regain his face.

He never thought he’d run into him today!

"Do you guys know who’s in the car?" Wang Haichen asked.

"That’s Lin Jiang. He’s the one who opened Xiaojiang Noodle Shop," Pan Yongbin said, his face cold.

"So that’s Lin Jiang! What’s he doing here? Is he looking for trouble?"

"I don’t know. Maybe he’s coming after your family’s business," Pan Yongbin said.

"Once his noodle shop opens, your family’s chain of noodle shops will also be affected."

"In that case, he must be up to no good," Wang Haichen said with a sneer.

"I haven’t even made a move on him, yet he has the gall to come to me first. He’s got some nerve."

"Forget it. Don’t mess with him. The people he hangs out with can really fight. If you start something with him, you’ll definitely be the one to lose out."

The scene from that day was still vivid in Pan Yongbin’s mind.

Unless they brought a lot of people, there was no chance of getting to him.

"Even if we were going to teach him a lesson, I’d have Lang Zhenglian and his men do it. I wouldn’t get my hands dirty."

"Let’s go. He isn’t doing anything anyway, so there’s no need to pick a fight with him."

"Something else came up. I’m not going to dinner with you guys," Lin Qiangwei said.

"Didn’t you say you were free today? Why the sudden change of plans?" Pan Yongbin asked, acting like a total simp.

"My dad put me in charge of the KTV, so I have a lot to handle every day. Something just came up, and I need to go back and take a look."

"Do you need my help?"

"No, I can handle it myself. I’m heading out."

Lin Qiangwei left first. She glanced over at Lin Jiang, perhaps unintentionally, before pulling out her keys and getting into her Range Rover.

"Let’s get going, too. We’ll deal with him when the time is right," Wang Haichen said.

Pan Yongbin nodded and walked toward a nearby car.

Inside the car, Lin Jiang’s brow furrowed.

The sight of Lin Qiangwei and Pan Yongbin here struck him as highly unusual and made him suspicious of the company.

"Getting antsy waiting for us?"

Before Lin Jiang could investigate the company, Zhou Jingliang’s voice rang out as he and his girlfriend opened the car door.

The two men, who hadn’t gone far, heard the voice and glanced back.

Pan Yongbin and Wang Haichen exchanged a look, both clearly surprised.

"Hey, isn’t that the chick you met on your trip? Looks like her boyfriend knows Lin Jiang," Pan Yongbin said.

"What a coincidence."

"I think we can use this connection to our advantage."

Pan Yongbin looked at Wang Haichen and said,

"Weren’t you planning to ask her out? Did you set something up?"

"It’s all set. She said she’d make an excuse to come out tonight," Wang Haichen said.

"What did you mean just now when you said we could use this connection to our advantage?"

"This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find somewhere to eat, and I’ll lay it all out for you."

"Let’s go!"

The two men got in their car and left. Zhou Jingliang and Zhang Jingjing got into Lin Jiang’s car.

"Did you get all your onboarding done?"

"All done. I officially start tomorrow. I guess I’m finally settled here in Zhonghai."

"Let’s grab lunch at my shop first. For dinner tonight, you can pick any place you want."

"Now that you’re rich, I won’t hold back."

Zhou Jingliang looked over at Zhang Jingjing.

"Babe, what do you want for dinner tonight? How about we try the hot pot here in Zhonghai? We can see how it compares to what we had in Rongcheng City."

"Tonight might not work. A senior from my university, she works in Zhonghai too, invited me to dinner. So I won’t be able to go with you guys."

Zhang Jingjing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile,

"You two haven’t seen each other in so long. You can relax more if I’m not there and talk about whatever you want. Think of it as me giving you a night off."

"A senior from your university?"

Zhou Jingliang muttered, "’I don’t think I’ve ever heard you mention her before.’"

"Your memory is terrible. I’ve told you about her several times," Zhang Jingjing said.

"You’re always so busy, you probably just forgot."

"That’s true."

Zhou Jingliang didn’t think much of it. ’With his girlfriend away,’ he thought, ’he and Lin Jiang could drink without any inhibitions.’

"What time will you be back tonight? I can come pick you up."

"I’m not sure yet. Just wait for my call."

"Okay."

Lin Jiang drove them to the noodle shop. On the way, he had already called Li Yuanyuan and told her to save an empty table for them.

When he saw the size of the noodle shop and how packed it was, Zhou Jingliang couldn’t help but let out a few "holy shits."

"This place is insane! You actually have to wait in line for a bowl of noodles."

"How else do you think I bought a Maybach? Come on, I’ll let you have a taste."

"Let’s go, let’s go! I’ve got to see what all the fuss is about."

Once they were inside and seated, Zhou Jingliang spent a good while looking around, still marveling at the place.

"So, give me a recommendation. What’s good here?"

"Everything’s delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything you order."

"In that case, I’ll get the most expensive thing: the Pan-Seared Steak with Rice."

As he spoke, Zhou Jingliang held his phone out to Zhang Jingjing, showing her the menu.

"Babe, what are you having?"

"I’ll just have a bowl of Plain Noodle Soup."

"And two glasses of sour plum drink. Perfect."

Lin Jiang called Li Yuanyuan over, gave her their orders, and got a Pan-Seared Steak with Rice for himself as well.
