27: Chapter 24: Finished 38 27: Chapter 24: Finished 38 The next day, in the morning.

Li Zhongnan arrived at the agreed place.

From afar, he was stunned by the sight of Zhao Yi.

She looked stunning dressed in a loose casual outfit.

Missing the sharp trim of her work clothes, she appeared more charming.

She was a captivating sight indeed.

Li Zhongnan walked over and gave her a faint smile, “Sister, I’m here.”

Seeing Li Zhongnan, Zhao Yi was taken aback.

Dressed in a suit, the once slick youngster appeared both mature and handsome.

Accidentally, she thought of that night and felt a gentle warmth on her cheeks.

After thinking for a bit, she said, “Zhongnan, just call me by my name, or Old Zhao maybe.” In the southern regions, it is a way to show respect and does not necessarily imply closeness.

Zhao Yi?

He couldn’t possibly call her that!

Li Zhongnan nodded and asked, “Old Zhao, where are the clients you introduced?”

“We’re meeting for breakfast,” she said.

Zhao Yi gave a small smile and asked, “Zhongnan, how many phones are you looking to sell?”

With that, she led the way.

Li Zhongnan followed and honestly replied, “Around three thousand!”

Zhao Yi was surprised, “That many?”

Three thousand phones would amount to millions, a significant sum of money.

After some thought, she said, “In that case, let’s say you’re my new boyfriend!”

At the end, as if trying to hide something, she added, “You’re fairly tanned, so even if we say you’re in your thirties, she probably won’t be able to tell.”

Li Zhongnan smiled and casually said, “Old Zhao, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

But Zhao Yi insisted, “Three thousand is a lot.

If we don’t do this, I’m worried she might lower the price…

In terms of business, you’re no match for her.”

“Alright!”

Li Zhongnan responded faintly.

Showed some unwillingness?

Zhao Yi was a little puzzled.

This slick youngster seemed off today.

Something felt wrong, but she didn’t ask further.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, Zhao Yi stepped closer to Li Zhongnan and slightly raised her arm.

Understanding her hint, Li Zhongnan gently held her arm and walked in with her.

If they had to pretend, they might as well make it convincing.

Naturally, though they appeared intimate, he consciously kept his distance.

At this point, he hadn’t recovered from yesterday’s incidents.

His mind was occupied by thoughts of making money and he was somewhat absent-minded, not thinking much of Zhao Yi.

Initially worried that he might take advantage of her, Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief seeing his gentlemanly demeanor.

However, she couldn’t help but wonder when the slick youngster had become so sincere.

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Zhongnan asked, “Old Zhao, do you know the other party?”

Zhao Yi, puzzled, looked at him, “Of course, she’s my high school classmate!

Why?”

Li Zhongnan exclaimed, “That won’t do!

Your high school classmate wouldn’t even know that you’re married?

And here you’re asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend, what a creative idea!”

Zhao Yi laughed and shook her head, “You don’t need to probe, I’ve always been single.”

Li Zhongnan was slightly shocked and asked meekly, “That…that Northrealm mayor…he isn’t your husband, is he?”

Zhao Yi gave him a look and said, “He’s my brother, my biological brother.”

Hearing this, Li Zhongnan became excited, “Really?

Your brother is the mayor!

Old Zhao, we’re friends, right?

Introduce me to your brother!”

Zhao Yi smirked and shook her head.

It suddenly made sense why the once slick youngster was behaving properly, it was all due to this.

They entered a private room.

A flirtatious female voice chirped, “Director Zhao, you’re here.”

Seductress!

With just one glance, Li Zhongnan labeled this woman in the room.

If Zhao Yi had a thousand charms, this woman had ten thousand.

Voice, expression, moves…

If he had to use one word to describe her, it would be — enchantress.

A slight smile, a gentle flaunt, even a blink of her eyes could ignite a man’s deepest desires.

Zhao Yi lightly laughed, “President Zhuo, just call me by my name.”

The enchantress pulled out a chair for Zhao Yi and teased, “You’re one to talk.” After that, she glanced at Li Zhongnan—or more specifically, at his hand, which was holding onto Zhao Yi’s arm— and chuckled, “Old classmate, don’t tell me you brought your lover here today to flaunt in front of me?”

Zhao Yi laughed, “Not flaunting exactly, just a reminder for you, a leftover lady of an older age, that you too should find a man.

Zhongnan is now in the phone business, I hope you can support him…”

The enchantress interrupted, “Stop right there!

A beautiful day like this is suited for chats about love and romance!” Then, she turned to Li Zhongnan, studied him before asking, “Handsome, how old are you?”

Li Zhongnan braced himself and said, “Thirty-eight!”
