After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

’I never thought she’d become my number three pet.’

’And the capture condition was so easy, too.’

"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence."

Zhao Fangfei’s face lit up with a smile when she saw Lin Jiang.

"Are you here showing a property to clients?"

"Mhm."

Zhao Fangfei ushered her two clients into the elevator. Since she was with clients, she couldn’t just ignore them, so she felt too awkward to chat much with Lin Jiang.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 11th floor, and the two clients stepped out first.

"Mr. Lin, I have to go now. Bye-bye."

Zhao Fangfei seemed a little reluctant to leave. She had always wanted to get closer to Lin Jiang but could never find the opportunity.

Today, she’d finally had a chance encounter with him, but she had clients with her, which made her feel inexplicably annoyed.

"Bye."

After Zhao Fangfei left, Lin Jiang quickly returned to his own apartment. He wasn’t in a hurry to capture his number three pet.

’From our few interactions, I can tell Zhao Fangfei has a bit of a ’green tea’ personality, and she’s a master at it. In a situation like this, I don’t need to rush. She’ll find an opportunity to get close to me on her own.’

He got home and lay down on the sofa.

There was a file on his phone from He Xuelu.

BZZZT BZZZT BZZZT—

Just then, a video call from He Xuelu came in.

"President Lin."

"Uncle He."

"Something’s been off lately," He Xuelu said.

"For three days straight, Yong’an has dropped their wholesale prices by 10%. I suspect it’s because our beef entered the market and made an impact on them. A lot of people are coming to us wanting to stock our products, but our production volume is too small. We can’t supply enough to compete effectively."

"As long as there’s enough money in the company’s accounts to maintain normal production, use the rest for expansion. But remember, the cattle must be fed our special feed. Use 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day benchmarks. You have to be strict about this part. You can arrange the rest yourself."

"I ran the numbers. For the low-quality beef, since it only needs to be fed the special feed for seven days, the added cost is negligible. I don’t plan on raising the price. We’ll capture the market first and establish our brand image."

"That’s fine, but there’s no need to go the low-price route for the mid- and high-quality beef," Lin Jiang said.

"Remember, our main goal right now is expansion. Once we have the market, the profits will follow. Don’t worry about making money for now."

"Understood. That’s what I was thinking, too."

After hanging up, Lin Jiang rested his head on his clasped hands.

’The market feedback is faster than I expected. As long as the quality is solid, people will pay for it. Consumers will vote with their feet.’

’Yong’an’s collapse has only just begun.’

Just then, his doorbell rang.

Lin Jiang went to check and saw Zhao Fangfei standing outside his door, carrying something in her hand.

"Mr. Lin, I hope I’m not disturbing you."

"Not at all. Come in and talk."

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Zhao Fangfei walked in, carrying her items.

"Mr. Lin, the sales center is running a promotion and bought some gifts. I saw this set of car seat cushions and thought they were pretty nice, so I brought a set for you."

The gesture was a transparent excuse for both of them.

Zhao Fangfei herself knew that Lin Jiang wouldn’t care about something like this, but showing up unannounced would be awkward. She had to find some sort of reason.

So, what she brought wasn’t important, as long as it could start a conversation.

"Thanks. It’s nice of you to think of me," Lin Jiang said politely.

"You bought a property from me before, and I’ve been wanting to thank you ever since. It’s just a small thing, so please don’t be so formal with me."

As she spoke, Zhao Fangfei tucked her hair back again. "Mr. Lin, are you free tonight? I’ve been saying I wanted to treat you to dinner, but I never got the chance."

"Sure. I happen to be free today."

Zhao Fangfei’s expression brightened, and a smile spread across her face. "I get off work at six. Does that time work for you?"

"No problem. I’ll pick you up then."

"Okay, okay. I’ll get going then." Zhao Fangfei gave him a cute wink. "See you tonight."

"Alright."

Zhao Fangfei left. Lin Jiang glanced at his watch; it was about an hour until six in the evening.

As for where to eat, Lin Jiang already had a place in mind.

’For a master-class green tea like Zhao Fangfei, a three-star Michelin restaurant like Xinrong Restaurant is the best choice.’

After staying home for a little longer, Lin Jiang drove to the Century Triumph sales center.

After waiting a few minutes, he saw Zhao Fangfei walk out of the sales center wearing a black blouse and black casual pants, carrying a patchwork-patterned bag.

’I have to say, Zhao Fangfei’s figure is pretty killer.’

’You could call her the Pro version of Qin Youyou, while Lin Qiangwei is the Pro Max version.’

Seeing Lin Jiang’s car, Zhao Fangfei quickened her pace, taking small, hurried steps the whole way. She pulled open the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Lin, sorry to keep you waiting. I got held up for a few minutes."

"It’s fine. Also, you don’t have to call me Mr. Lin. If you don’t mind, just call me Brother Jiang."

"Mhm." Zhao Fangfei nodded. "Brother Jiang, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"I’ve already booked a place. Just come with me."

Given their current dynamic, what they ate didn’t matter. She would have been happy just to be with him, even if it meant having nothing to eat at all.

"That works too. I’ll pay, then."

"It’s just one meal. It doesn’t matter who pays."

With that, Lin Jiang started the car and drove to Xinrong Restaurant.

Along the way, Zhao Fangfei constantly looked for topics to keep the conversation going with Lin Jiang.

’Sometimes, whether a man is a good conversationalist or not doesn’t really matter.’

’If a woman likes you, she’ll naturally find topics to talk about.’

’It’s like how some women claim they can’t cook, but if you live in a mansion, they suddenly learn how. It’s magical like that.’
