Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Moreover, at this moment she deeply understood that this opportunity was rare and was definitely the only chance in her life to completely change her fate.

So she didn’t hesitate any longer and nodded heavily: "...Alright, I’ll do as you say."

Zhang Jingdong saw her finally agree, and immediately laughed: "That’s more like it. Alright, I’ll go back today and have the company start planning this project. Once it’s underway, I’ll contact you myself."

"Mm, okay... Boss Zhang, thank you!"

"Congratulations Host, you have successfully received the target’s heartfelt gratitude, reward of 100,000 yuan!"

Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a smile: "Don’t say that. If you hadn’t agreed to help me with this, I wouldn’t even know how to proceed with the project, so this is mutual help between us, it evens out!"

Shangguan Yue shook her head: "No, you’ve helped me too much. I will definitely work hard and repay you in the future!"

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the time, then said: "Let’s not talk about this now, it’s almost 6 o’clock, we should head back. After breakfast, we’ll head to that canyon."

Only then did Shangguan Yue regain her composure: "...Mm."

Saying that, she rowed the boat to the lakeside.

When Shangguan Yue put away the oars, she was perhaps in a hurry, or maybe because the light was dim and she couldn’t see clearly, suddenly her foot slipped, and she was about to fall off the boat.

Zhang Jingdong had just turned around, and hearing something wasn’t right, he swiftly moved and caught Shangguan Yue by the waist, pulling her up.

Because the situation was urgent, and Zhang Jingdong by habit, when saving a beauty, applied a little more force, used to take advantage during a heroic rescue.

And Shangguan Yue, being helpless at the moment, ended up in an embrace with him.

"Congratulations Host, for successfully hugging the target, reward of 200,000 yuan!"

Shangguan Yue, still shaken, found herself actually in an embrace with Zhang Jingdong, blushing furiously, instinctively trying to break free.

But then suddenly noticed that Zhang Jingdong wasn’t letting go.

She instantaneously felt both shy and flustered: "Boss Zhang, you... let go of me!"

To which Zhang Jingdong responded: "Don’t move, haven’t you heard the old saying, when scared, you must be held for a minute to let the spirit return."

Shangguan Yue quickly recalled, as she indeed seemed to have heard something similar from elders when she was young.

But after thinking for a while, she couldn’t remember the elders ever saying this.

Moreover, she suddenly realized that Zhang Jingdong was holding her tighter.

She hurried to stop him, but somehow, when the words were on the verge of leaving her mouth, she suddenly thought of something and swallowed them back down.

Zhang Jingdong held Shangguan Yue for nearly three minutes before finally letting her go with a sense of reluctance.

"Alright, that should do it... and no need to thank me for this one too."

After saying that, he turned and got off the boat.

Shangguan Yue watched his back, suddenly realizing she might have been toyed with by him, and for the first time, didn’t feel like thanking him, even vaguely wanting to curse him, but ultimately didn’t.

A hint of shy annoyance flashed in her eyes, and then she also got off the boat.

All the way back, neither of them spoke.

As they were almost home, Zhang Jingdong finally asked: "Do you have someone you like?"

Shangguan Yue was clearly not expecting Zhang Jingdong to ask her this.

But because of that embrace earlier, she quickly understood why he asked this question.

She was somewhat unwilling to answer because she felt this question was too ambiguous, and her answer might lead to a misunderstanding.

Most importantly, before that embrace, she never imagined anything would happen between herself and Zhang Jingdong.

Because she saw last night that Zhang Jingdong liked Song Yunshan, and Song Yunshan liked him.

She even noticed that Hu Ling also actually liked Zhang Jingdong.

And after thinking about that, she paused for a moment and then shook her head: "...No."

Zhang Jingdong still looked ahead at the road: "Just as I thought, well, for someone like you, a fairy, no man around here would catch your eye."

"Have you thought about how to find your other half in the future?"

"No."

This time Shangguan Yue answered very straightforwardly.

Zhang Jingdong smiled and didn’t say anything more.

Shangguan Yue couldn’t help but feel a bit bewildered.

Because she originally thought that Zhang Jingdong would take the opportunity to say something rather excessive, and she was ready to reject him.

Even though he had helped her a lot, she didn’t want to repay him by selling herself, and she absolutely couldn’t accept a man already entangled with other women.

But she didn’t expect him to suddenly stop talking.

She suddenly felt as if she had been toyed with by this guy, but couldn’t say anything, after all, he didn’t continue with anything excessive.

Soon the car slowly stopped at the courtyard gate.

The two got out of the car and entered the courtyard.

At this time, Hu Ling came downstairs and just happened to see them.

"Where did you two go this early?"

Shangguan Yue, being a straightforward girl, instantly panicked.

But Zhang Jingdong, being a seasoned Jianghu veteran, casually replied: "Aren’t we heading to that canyon later? I was worried about the road being unsafe, so I scouted ahead. How’s that for thorough consideration?"

Although the reason Zhang Jingdong made up seemed impeccable, Hu Ling still sensed something amiss from Shangguan Yue’s face.

"Oh... so that’s it then."

Hu Ling said as she pretended to head to the bathroom.

But as she passed Zhang Jingdong, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she applied the move he taught her to deal with bad guys, delivering a quick kick to his groin.
