Chapter 48 If you can't talk about love, then let's talk about business
After dinner, the two sat on the sofa chatting. Zhuang Jing was the first to ask, "I really want to know, how did you meet her?"
"She" of course refers to Lin Shanya. Zhuang Jing does not know this name. Although the two have been neighbors for a long time, they have no contact with each other. She does not know her identity, name, occupation, etc.
Ye Xingyu replied: "I work in the cafeteria of Wanxiang College. She is a professor of our college. I have met her before, but I just said hello and didn't say a word! Later, a few days later,
We met by chance on campus, and she suddenly asked me directly if I wanted to marry her. I thought about it and felt that there would be no harm in getting married, so I agreed."
This answer fell on Zhuang Jing's ears. It was as bizarre as hearing a fairy tale. There was no logic at all. Could this be the legendary love at first sight? After checking the eyes, you knew that this was the right person?
Zhuang Jing asked again: "Then do you like her?"
Ye Xingyu chuckled and said, "As long as they are beautiful beauties, I like them all!"
Zhuang Jing was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Then do you like me?"
Ye Xingyu was stunned for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked with a half-smile: "Are you trying to seduce me?"
"Why not?" Zhuang Jing didn't deny it, there was a hint of expectation in her charming eyes, "If I take the initiative to seduce you, will you take the bait?"
"This question is really hard to answer..."
What Ye Xingyu was thinking was exactly what he said. This question was indeed difficult to answer.
It is undeniable that Zhuang Jing and Lin Shanya are both very attractive women, but Ye Xingyu has no feelings for him, or even for Lin Shanya. The reason why he readily agreed to marry Lin Shanya was just because of Lin Shanya.
Shanya looks exactly like the "her" in my heart.
But in essence, Lin Shanya is just a substitute, just like "her", not the real "her".
Ye Xingyu agreed to marry Lin Shanya, which was both unexpected and reasonable. If the partner were Zhuang Jing, marriage would definitely be impossible, but other than that, he didn't care.
Ye Xingyu, who has been reborn many times, has never minded having emotional entanglements with women, or even having substantial relationships, but he has only rarely gotten married because the women he is with are often unhappy.
First, because he was short-lived, he often turned into ashes and disappeared in the human world because he could not withstand the catastrophe. He never died at the end of his life.
Second, because he had no offspring, and for some unknown reason, he could not impregnate a woman, so he had no descendants to pass on.
It is precisely for these reasons that the more Ye Xingyu cherishes her, the less he wants to cause the other person pain, so he usually walks gently, comes gently, waves his sleeves, and does not take away a single cloud.
But now things have changed. If Ye Xingyu was single, he would never reject Zhuang Jing. But now he has boarded Lin Shanya's pirate ship. If he has any further confusion with Zhuang Jing, wouldn't it be a problem?
A despised scumbag?
So, it’s hard to answer.
Ye Xingyu sighed and finally said: "I will refuse because I will become someone else's husband soon..."
Zhuang Jing was very disappointed. A young and handsome ancient warrior, whom she happened to have a crush on, ended up passing him by.
She was in a daze silently, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. She had never been in love before, and she seemed like a resentful woman who had been abandoned, full of unwillingness.
Seeing Zhuang Jing's lonely look, Ye Xingyu seemed a little intolerable, so he tried to persuade her: "You don't have to be sad, there may be another chance after a year."
Zhuang Jing was stunned when she heard this, and thought to herself: What is going on? What do you mean there will be a chance after one year?
"What do you mean?" She really didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Xingyu's gourd, so she could only ask.
Ye Xingyu answered for her: "She wanted to marry me not because she fell in love at first sight, but because she urgently needed a husband to solve her troubles, and I happened to meet the criteria, so things turned out like this. And we said
Okay, we will get divorced in a year, and I will be single again by then, and you can try to seduce me again."
Zhuang Jing: "...Σ..."
——What's going on here?
——Contract marriage?
——Partnership for a show?
Despite Zhuang Jing's extraordinary intelligence, it took her a long time to figure out the cause and effect of this incident, and finally asked: "You mean, it's just a transaction between you? It's not a real relationship?"
"
"That's it for the time being." Ye Xingyu answered truthfully.
——Is it really just a transaction?
Zhuang Jing was deeply suspicious. The other party's explanation sounded too childish and unbelievable. She was more inclined to fall in love at first sight.
In fact, Zhuang Jing fell into a misunderstanding. She unconsciously substituted her own feelings and took it for granted that love at first sight could be established.
Because she had only been in contact with Ye Xingyu once, she developed a certain fondness for the latter, and thought that others might be the same.
However, Zhuang Jing's affection for Ye Xingyu was not so great that she would not marry him unless she was the king. She was simply attracted by his mysterious power. Her main purpose of getting close to Ye Xingyu was to win over a powerful ancient warrior for her family.
Since we can't work it out emotionally, let's talk about business. This is Zhuang Jing's strength.
"I would like to take the liberty of asking, what benefits did she give you?" Zhuang Jing asked very directly. She always pursues efficiency when talking about business and does not like to beat around the bush.
"Provide me with food, drink, and shelter, and then there will be one million for me to squander." Ye Xingyu had a satisfied expression on his face.
"One million a month?" Zhuang Jing said, while weighing it in her mind, she thought the price was reasonable.
But Ye Xingyu shook his head: "You are overthinking it. The total is one million a year. If she is dissatisfied with anything, it will be deducted as appropriate."
"What? Only one million a year?" Zhuang Jing was shocked.
She still believed that an ancient warrior could earn one million a month, but one million a year was simply the price of a migrant worker!
Of course, from Lin Shanya's perspective, what she offered was a sky-high price, not a cabbage price.
Because she didn't think Ye Xingyu was so great at all, he was just a poor loser living at the bottom and a despised sex worker.
If it weren't for Lin Shanya's lack of money, Ye Xingyu would definitely not have been able to get one million, and a zero would have been crossed out from the end of the number.
However, for Zhuang Jing and the current Zhuang Group, one million to hire an ancient warrior to serve for one year is simply a huge profit. There is no business more cost-effective than this!
