22: Hey guys, come on over here!
Bai Jingyi had barely finished speaking, less than a second later,
Xiao Ze then decisively took off his Patek Philippe watch and tossed it to her.
The response time was so fast that it didn't seem like they had just dropped a top-tier luxury watch worth three or four million.
It was as casual as if he had just waved his hand or blinked.
Bai Jingyi froze instantly, her hand holding the watch hanging in mid-air!
She had considered many possibilities.
This also includes the possibility that Xiao Ze, out of gratitude, will ultimately give her the watch.
But I never imagined this possibility.
Xiao Ze was so generous!
The pleasure was so intense that she was momentarily dazed for a few seconds.
Li Xiwei, standing to the side, was so shocked she almost jumped up and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Xiao Ze, are you crazy? Even if she helped, you can't give her this!"
Although Li Xiwei is poor, she is not unsophisticated; she is poor in a refined way.
Therefore, she knew that high-end luxury goods like Patek Philippe had collectible value similar to antiques.
It cost four million when I bought it, and when I wanted to sell it...
Even after ten years, it can still be easily sold at the original price.
There are even many examples of appreciation.
Otherwise, do you really think that rich people who buy high-end luxury goods are all fools?
So in Li Xiwei's eyes, Xiao Ze gave her a watch worth four million on the surface, but in reality, it was almost no different from giving her four million in cash.
This is absolutely insane!
Xiao Ze ignored Li Xiwei.
He met Bai Jingyi's somewhat complicated gaze with a slight smile:
"It's just a watch worth a few million, it's really nothing."
"Even if you had asked me for a luxury car worth tens of millions, I would have given it to you without hesitation."
"Come be my bodyguard, I'll pay you whatever salary you ask for."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze suddenly saw a glint of light flash in her eyes.
Just when Xiao Ze thought she would readily agree, he heard her blurt out:
"Can you give me 18 billion? Give me 18 billion, and I'll be your bodyguard for life."
"Holy crap!" Xiao Ze was speechless.
He thought to himself, "This girl is really daring! Isn't she afraid of overeating?"
Xiao Ze was glad he hadn't drunk any water at that moment, otherwise he might have accidentally sprayed it all over her face.
"Ahem!" Li Xiwei coughed lightly.
I wasn't surprised, but I was stunned.
I strongly suspect that Bai Jingyi is illiterate.
Xiao Ze looked at Bai Jingyi, whose face was full of anticipation, and his lips twitched.
He only has tens of millions in cash right now. If he wants to give Bai Jingyi 18 billion, he has to sell some of his stocks.
Even if Xiao Ze had 18 billion yuan right now, let alone selling his stocks, he would never give it to her.
She said that if she was given 18 billion, she would be Xiao Ze's bodyguard for life.
For Xiao Ze, this was no longer a question of whether the words were believable or not.
It's not a question about human nature.
Xiao Ze wanted the ultimate enjoyment.
To achieve your goal, you have to make her serve you without any limits.
In this situation, what if we gave her 18 billion upfront, satisfying her all at once? ...
Xiao Ze understood a principle very early on—
Many things cannot be accomplished simply through gratitude.
This isn't a matter of character, it's a matter of human nature, and no one is exempt.
Xiao Ze said seriously, "I can give you 18 billion, but you have to be my bodyguard for a month first."
"What do a few billion dollars matter if you perform well enough?"
Li Xiwei tightened her grip on the fruit tea, suddenly feeling an urge to strangle Xiao Ze!
Bai Jingyi listened to Xiao Ze's words,
The look of anticipation on his face faded as quickly as the tide.
He flashed the Patek Philippe in his hand and said softly:
"I'm sorry, but for some reason I can't agree to that."
"I accept your reward. I will take this watch and sell it for cash. Thank you."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and left without looking back.
"What exactly happened? Xiao Ze, why do you have to..."
Li Xiwei hadn't even finished asking her question.
Xiao Ze had already started walking and chased after him again.
Li Xiwei stomped her feet angrily, but had no choice but to follow.
Xiao Ze caught up with Bai Jingyi again, asking a question he already knew the answer to:
"My name is Xiao Ze. What's your name, beautiful lady?"
Bai Jingyi continued walking, replying softly:
Bai Jingyi.
Xiao Ze asked again, "Your name sounds like that actress surnamed Ju, and you look even more like her. What do you do for a living now?"
Bai Jingyi gently shook her head: "I don't have a job."
Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion:
"I don't understand why you're asking for 18 billion. What difficulties have you encountered that require so much money?"
Bai Jingyi pursed her lips and didn't answer this time.
Xiao Ze suddenly realized that her destination seemed to be Guanghui Driving School.
I followed her and we were almost at the entrance of the driving school.
"Go drive..." Xiao Ze hadn't even finished asking his question.
Two men then jogged out from inside the school.
One of them was the head coach who taught Xiao Ze to drive that morning.
"Young Master Xiao, weren't you...?" The head coach was about to ask Xiao Ze why he was back so soon after going out to eat.
But after only getting to the beginning, I suddenly realized that what I said was inappropriate, so I quickly changed the subject.
He pointed to a young man in his twenties beside him: "Young Master Xiao, this is General Manager Zhang from our driving school."
"Mr. Zhang, this is the new high-level VIP client, Young Master Xiao, whom I just reported to you."
The young man called General Manager Zhang, though of ordinary appearance and attire,
But he exudes a shrewd and capable air about him.
He took the initiative to shake hands with Xiao Ze: "My name is Zhang Guanghui. It's a pleasure to meet you, Young Master Xiao. Your Aston Martin with its rotary doors is absolutely stunning."
"I'll personally host another dinner for you another time, Mr. Xiao. I hope you'll grant me that request. I have some urgent business to attend to now, so please excuse me."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to look at Bai Jingyi beside him and beckoned her over:
"Jingyi, let's go to that Cantonese restaurant across the street. Their roast goose, shark fin, and poached chicken are all excellent. I've already made a reservation."
Bai Jingyi had just turned around.
"Wait." Xiao Ze took a step forward.
He inserted himself directly between Bai Jingyi and Zhang Guanghui.
A slight smile:
"I haven't had Cantonese food in a long time either, so let's eat together."
With this remark,
Bai Jingyi turned her head and looked at him with surprise.
Li Xiwei sneered inwardly.
Both the head coach and Zhang Guanghui looked surprised.
Zhang Guanghui coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Young Master Xiao, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't want to entertain you."
"Our two families have been friends for generations. The reason for this meeting is to discuss a very important personal matter, so..."
"You don't need to tell me this," Xiao Ze interrupted him directly, saying calmly.
"What business is it of mine of yours to discuss your private affairs?"
"Does your private conversation mean I'm not allowed to eat Cantonese food?"
Zhang Guanghui's face darkened, and his gaze towards Xiao Ze turned cold.
Xiao Ze's lips curled up slightly as he met Xiao Ze's gaze, showing no sign of backing down.
What a joke!
Bai Jingyi is his second maid, his second super gold mine.
He couldn't wait until later; he had to take the man down today.
Anyone who dares to obstruct us is a mortal enemy, a fight to the death.
Which roadside is a driving school general manager?
Just as Xiao Ze and Zhang Guanghui locked eyes, their gazes growing increasingly cold towards each other.
Bai Jingyi suddenly spoke, breaking the somewhat tense atmosphere, and said softly:
"Let's go together then."
Zhang Guanghui turned his head in astonishment.
