Chapter 27: Hookup Failure
Sincerely.
In a small restaurant, Li Meng was brushing the hot pot while taking out the mission documents to review carefully. However, the content on the documents instantly discounted his joy after coming out of the cage.
The Chen family, a family that rose to prominence five years ago, is now the business giant of this city, holding an unshakeable dominant position in Chengdu. However, no one knows that the reason why the Chen family was able to achieve today's success in just five short years is not only because of their luck and business acumen, but also because a superpowered individual appeared in their family.
This is a precognitive ability that can know the corresponding things that will happen in specific situations, and it is said that this is prophecy, which is an extremely rare ability in the world. If used well, its value cannot be estimated. As soon as he received the task, Yang Fan immediately let Li Mang hurry over, just in case something unexpected happens.
"Unclear objective?" Seeing this point, Li Meng suddenly felt a kind of egg-like worry, not knowing who was the Chen family's ability holder, and how he could complete his mission?
As I continued to read, I found that the Flame Yellow Intelligence Unit was not just a free ride. There were two suspicious targets, one of whom was Chen Zixuan, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, who was 25 years old and had already started helping her family manage their business. She was the general manager of the Chen family's company and was a stunning beauty.
Another one is Second Miss Chen Zining, who is only 21 years old this year. She is a junior at Chengdu University and the first campus belle of Chengdu University. The pure goddess in the photo couldn't help but make Li Mang look several more times.
He's just a 22-year-old young man, and it's natural for him to have affection for beautiful women. This is human nature, and Li Meng doesn't think there's anything wrong with that. However, thinking about the difficulty of the task, the surprise in his eyes suddenly turned dull and was replaced by anxiety.
Both targets are not easy to approach! One is the company's general manager, and the other is a university flower, who is also the daughter of this city's business tycoon. There must be many bodyguards around her, so how can he get close to her? And how can he flirt... communicate with her?
"Boss, pay the bill!"
Li Mang hastily finished his meal, paid the bill and didn't rush to approach his two targets. Instead, he strolled around on the street, it's not easy to come out once in a while, if he doesn't relax properly, God won't forgive him.
Of course, his main purpose is still to supplement some scarce materials in the Shan Hai Jing space. There are very limited things that can be used inside, and Li Mang must take this opportunity to replenish them. In addition, he wants to buy some farmhouse rice wine, planning to mix it with 'Tang Ting Mountain Honey' and send it back to his hometown. The effect of Tang Ting Mountain Honey is beyond doubt, even if diluted with rice wine, it can still bring great benefits to the physical health of family members.
Afternoon, Chengdu University.
After the bell rang, the campus started to bustle. A girl in a white dress slowly walked out of the teaching building, slender and elegant, with a melon-seed-shaped face, her skin as fair and tender as a beauty from a movie on TV, like an immortal fairy who had never been tainted by worldly desires.
"Goddess!"
"Goddess!"
As this beautiful figure moved, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, people on both sides couldn't help but turn their heads, the women feeling inferior and the men's eyes dazed.
However, no one dared to go up and chat her up, and even automatically avoided her. After all, she was the daughter of Chengdu's richest man, not just anyone had the confidence to approach her.
"Hello." However, what was astonishing was that this time someone actually blocked the goddess's path, and it was a young man.
Chen Zining was also stunned, and couldn't help but size up the young man in front of her. He was around twenty years old, not handsome but very spirited. She thought back to her memories, and she could be certain that she had never seen this person before.
"But out of politeness, Chen Ziyin still responded courteously: 'Hello, may I ask what brings you here?'"
The goddess's voice was soft and gentle, yet it had a strange power that made people feel like every pore on their body was opening up, even their bones seemed to be melting.
Li Mang, who had already prepared to be driven away, was slightly stunned and did not expect the second young lady's temper to be so good. However, he also saw that due to his appearance, several men and women around him had approached, their eyes vigilant, presumably Chen Ziyin's bodyguards.
Afraid of unexpected events, Li Meng hastily spoke up: "Actually, I don't have anything important to say, I just wanted to get acquainted with you. My name is Li Meng, I'm 22 years old, and I happened to be passing by Chengdu University. I didn't expect to see a beauty like you, nice to meet you!"
Heaven and earth conscience, Li Meng thought the other person was pretty, but at this time he was all about the task, with no intention of flirting. But maybe it's because he hasn't been in contact with people for more than half a year, his language expression ability has withered, and as soon as he spoke, the tone changed slightly.
"Damn it!"
"This guy is really something, he actually dares to flirt with our goddess!"
"He's asking for trouble!"
The men nearby were whispering among themselves, and when they looked at Li Mang again, their eyes were no longer friendly. However, there was also a kind of inexplicable schadenfreude, thinking of pursuing the goddess? First, make preparations for getting hurt! Countless people have secretly loved the goddess, but those who pursue her are not many, only a handful, and none of them are ordinary people. Over the years, those foolish men who recklessly pursued the goddess have all ended in disaster.
Chen Zining didn't get angry, but smiled slightly and bowed her head to create some distance. She then bid farewell: "Thanks, but I need to go home now, see you later!"
Without the pampered and arrogant manner of a rich girl, she is instead polite and courteous, yet also daring to boldly reject her pursuers, it can be seen that Miss Chen's upbringing is very good.
"Miss Chen, wait!" Seeing her about to leave, Li Meng suddenly became anxious. But if he hadn't called out like that, it would have been better; as soon as the words "Miss Chen" left his lips, not only did the several men and women nearby become more vigilant, but even Chen Ziyin's eyes had a hint of wariness.
Li Mang pretended to bump into him just now, and now he's blurting out Chen Ziqing's surname without introduction. It's clear that 'he has ulterior motives'. If it weren't for the fact that his intentions were unclear, the bodyguards beside him would have already taken action against him.
"Who's bothering our Miss Zi Ning!"
A loud shout came from the rear, followed by a young man with a gloomy face quickly approaching, with several burly followers behind him. The youth was about the same age as Li Meng, but more robust, over 1.8 meters tall, with long legs and feet.
"It's Young Master Wu!" The onlookers whispered to each other, looking at Li Meng with a playful expression. Although the Wu family's wealth was not as great as the Chen family's, their influence was in no way weaker, and they had people in both the military and political spheres. What's more, this Wu Long was one of Chen Ziyin's ardent pursuers, and it was said that the two families had a very good relationship. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Long might ultimately win the beauty's hand.
"What's it to you? I just want to have a deeper conversation with Miss Chen, what business is it of yours?" Li Mang looked at the newcomer with displeasure, but he didn't realize that his words carried a hint of flirtation. "Deeper conversation" - was he referring to romantic talk? How straightforward!
“……” Chen Ziyin, who had originally wanted to speak up for him, heard this and immediately swallowed her words, not making a sound as she turned and left. In her heart, she was muttering: This good-for-nothing is so arrogant, it's good that he got scolded! The goddess actually has a dark side too.
"Wait, Miss Chen..."
"Halt!" Wu Long and his men blocked Li Meng's path.
Seeing Chen Zining get into a sedan and leave, Li Meng's heart was secretly resentful, his eyes were extremely unkind. He had been waiting in this university town for several hours, and finally waited for the target to appear, but was blocked by these few people, and it would be false to say that he wasn't angry!
"Brother, there are many people here, affecting the order. Let's go to the front and talk about it." Unexpectedly, Wu Long did not rush to teach Li Mang a lesson, but instead asked in a gentle voice.
Nowadays, the times have changed, and even spoiled sons dare not beat people in public at the university gate. Otherwise, one exposure will affect the family's career and fate. In the era of open media, the eyes of the masses are bright. The young masters who study now may even receive 'training' from their families before school, so Wu Long also knows the pros and cons, that's why he is 'speaking in a good tone'.
"Alright!" Li Mang was furious in his heart and also wanted to teach this bastard a lesson. He agreed without hesitation, and under the intentional or unintentional encirclement of several people, he walked towards the nearby bamboo forest.
The onlookers, although eager to follow and take a look, knew that curiosity kills the cat, so they could only suppress their curiosity and disperse. A foolish guy also wanted to chase after the goddess, from the very beginning, getting taught a lesson was inevitable.
