Chapter 268 - 182: The Plan to Seduce Lin Jiang
Inside the noodle shop, Zhou Jingliang and Zhang Jingjing finished their meal.
Seeing that Lin Jiang hadn’t returned, they started chatting while drinking plum juice.
"Ever since we walked in, this place has been constantly packed. I can’t even imagine how much money this shop must be making."
As she spoke, Zhang Jingjing was still looking around, feeling as if people were just stuffing money directly into Lin Jiang’s pockets.
"He used to run this shop all by himself, waking up early and working late. To make a little more money, he did everything on his own. He’s finally made it through the hard times."
Zhou Jingliang was filled with emotion. He was genuinely happy for Lin Jiang that the shop was doing so well.
"With business this good, I think there has to be a secret recipe."
"Goes without saying. You can’t succeed without some real skill," Zhou Jingliang said as if it were obvious.
"You two are so close. Can’t you ask him for the recipe? We could open a shop too. That way, we could make big money and not have to work for other people anymore."
"What are you talking about! How could we do something like that?"
Zhou Jingliang grew displeased. With a stern face, he said, "How is that any different from just robbing him?"
"How can you call it robbing? You two are close, and you’re not doing well right now. It’s only natural for him to give you a hand," Zhang Jingjing said.
"Or are you just not confident in your relationship with him? Do you think he wouldn’t help you?"
"How could I not be confident? His mom is my godmother. We’re closer than you can imagine," Zhou Jingliang said.
"But doing that would be wrong. It’s absolutely out of the question."
"What’s so wrong with it? If we don’t figure something out, with the little money you make, when will you ever be able to afford a house in Zhonghai?"
"As long as I work hard, I’ll make it someday," Zhou Jingliang said.
"Lin Jiang’s situation used to be similar to mine, and hasn’t he made it now?"
Zhang Jingjing looked at him with utter exasperation.
"These things are all about opportunity. An opportunity is right in front of you now. If you don’t seize it, you’ll miss out and never get another chance in your life."
"I understand what you’re saying, but I can’t do it. I’d rather die poor than do something like that."
"You’re unbelievable..."
Zhang Jingjing was seething, but just as she was about to say more, she saw Lin Jiang return and held her tongue.
"Looks like you’re about done eating. Since we have some time this afternoon, I’ll take you two out for a bit."
"Let’s go, let’s go! I’ll have to start work soon, so let’s relax and have some fun today."
The three of them walked out of the noodle shop. Lin Jiang planned to take them to a few famous tourist spots, just to kill some time.
’It’s always a hassle for a guy when a woman tags along. You have to plan everything out properly.’
’If it were just Zhou Jingliang, to hell with some stupid tourist spots, I’d have taken him straight to a club.’
Sitting in the back seat, Zhang Jingjing kept glancing at Lin Jiang, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
’Zhou Jingliang’s savings are almost gone. He’s an honest guy, sure, but he’s completely inflexible. In a city like Zhonghai, a blockhead like him will probably be poor his whole life.’
’His buddy, on the other hand, has made it big. Not only is he rich, but he’s also handsome. I can definitely work on him.’
’The only problem is that he already has a girlfriend, and her looks and figure are no worse than mine. The chances of becoming his official girlfriend are slim.’
’But I could have a little something on the side. After all, men are animals who think with their dicks. As long as I send out the right signals and hit on him a little, there’s definitely a chance.’
She secretly mulled over the idea, and the more she thought about it, the better it seemed.
’Zhou Jingliang is an honest man, suitable for marriage.’
’If I fool around with his brother on the side, whatever little he lets slip through his fingers will be enough to upgrade my entire lifestyle.’
’Add Wang Haichen, whom I already know, and I’ll have three men providing for me. A life like that would be absolutely wonderful.’
’The next step is to find a way to get his contact info. As long as I have a chance to talk to him privately, I’m confident I can win him over.’
Because Zhang Jingjing was there, Lin Jiang didn’t choose any other places and just went to Disney.
He got VIP tickets so they didn’t have to wait in line. They could hit a lot of attractions in one afternoon.
Lin Jiang wasn’t particularly interested in this sort of activity. Most of the time, it was just the two of them having fun.
’Back in the day, I could at least come to a place like this to appreciate the long legs in black stockings.’
’But thanks to a few NPCs and my pets, my standards have gotten higher and higher.’
’Average legs and stockings just don’t do it for me anymore.’

’That much?’
Seeing the number, Lin Jiang was a little surprised.
’I’ve been pretty busy this past week.’
Before long, another game notification appeared.
[Task Complete (Source of the Delicacy): Reward: Wagyu Feed Formula, 40 points.]
Seeing the game notification, Lin Jiang knew the contract had been signed.
Immediately after, he received a message from He Siyao.
It said the contract was signed and that they were on their way to handle the handover.
BZZZT—
His phone buzzed. It was a WeChat notification about a new email.
What Lin Jiang didn’t expect was that the email was actually from Tongzi.
’Looks like Tongzi got a lot more advanced after the automatic update.’
The content of the email was the Wagyu feed formula.
The formula had a full 180-plus ingredients, with over 40 of them being traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.
’It’ll take some time to gather all these things.’
Closing the email, Lin Jiang opened his status panel.
