The more Wang Baichuan looked at her, the more captivated he became. The goddess who had seemed unattainable before was still unattainable now.

However, he was different from before. Once the food arrived, the two began chatting, reminiscing about the past and dreaming about the present.

Chapter 146 The Heartbroken Wang Baichuan

Wang Baichuan emphasized his career, how hard he had worked and how energetic he had been over the years, and how successful his business had become. He explained that his trip to Shanghai was to transfer his business here.

As the economic center of the country, developing in Shanghai can help his company reach new heights.

Judging from his tone, he is definitely a rising young talent, a future entrepreneur, and the father of a rich second-generation.

Fan Shengmei simply smiled and offered a timely compliment to prevent the conversation from becoming awkward.

If this had happened in the past, upon meeting Wang Baichuan and hearing his words, one would definitely have thought that the person in front of them was a promising young talent, full of potential, a rising diamond bachelor, and would have had countless fantasies.

Having spent so much time with Li Mu, I now find myself completely unmoved by what Wang Baichuan says. He speaks with such grand pronouncements, yet offers nothing substantial. For example, the company's size, products, number of orders, annual revenue… everything is vaguely summarized. What he talks about are his goals, the company's prospects, and the future…

After boasting for a while, he finally revealed something substantial: a major deal that he had secured over two months with tremendous effort. Judging from Wang Baichuan's expression, the deal was definitely extraordinary.

When the amount on the bill was mentioned, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, but thinking that the person in front of her was an old classmate, she had to give her face and forced herself to hold back.

After all that hype, all that exaggeration, all that thrilling description, it turns out to be such a small order.

Having worked in the corporate world for many years and held positions at multiple companies, Fan Shengmei believed that the profit she would ultimately receive from such a so-called big order was only the price of a high-end outfit that Li Mu had ordered for her.

To be more specific, it's equivalent to two or three of her handbags.

It seems like a lot, but the hype, the effort put in, and the more than two months of work are really quite surprising.

Seeing that Fan Shengmei didn't react as expected, Wang Baichuan realized that he had gone too far with the order he had just mentioned. He quickly added, "Of course, the order isn't particularly big, but it's significant. It proves that we've connected with Boss Lang, which will give us an advantage when taking on future orders."

Fan Shengmei nodded politely and praised, "Not bad, your company is doing quite well."

Fan Shengmei's reaction just now disappointed Wang Baichuan, but these words restored his confidence. He looked up and was captivated by the face in front of him, his gaze burning as he looked at her.

"Shengmei, don't worry, I'll definitely make a name for myself in Shanghai within two years at most."

Fan Shengmei politely said, "I believe in you, old classmate. Keep up the good work."

The conversation had come to an end, and Fan Shengmei, in order to maintain her figure, hadn't eaten much at noon and was wondering when to end this boring meal.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Baichuan finally asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time: "Shengmei, you are so beautiful and outstanding, you must have many suitors."

Fan Shengmei smiled faintly and replied, "I'm an old maid, I don't care about this, and I don't usually feel anything about it."

When Wang Baichuan didn't hear the answer he expected, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Shengmei, do you...do you have a boyfriend?"

This question hit a nerve with Fan Shengmei. Although Li Mu treated her extremely well and provided her with material comforts that made her feel like she was in a dream, she could never obtain the status of his official girlfriend.

Not to mention he has two formidable rivals, Qu Xiaoxiao and Michelle, so forget about having a girlfriend anytime soon.

However, she naturally wouldn't let Wang Baichuan know about this, nor did she dare to directly say that she had a boyfriend, so she could only vaguely say, "We're still dating..."

Upon hearing the answer, Wang Baichuan was utterly dejected; his goddess really did have a boyfriend. Of course, how could such an outstanding woman go unnoticed!

Fortunately, judging from Fan Shengmei's words, the two were dating but had not yet officially defined their relationship, which gave Wang Baichuan a slight respite and proved that he still had a chance.

"Besides, so what if she has a boyfriend? As long as the goddess isn't married or has children, he still has a chance," Wang Baichuan thought to himself.

To learn more, Wang Baichuan, suppressing his heartache, asked again, "Your partner must be very outstanding! Otherwise, they wouldn't be good enough for you?"

Fan Shengmei smiled sweetly: "Indeed, she is very outstanding."

Wang Baichuan felt a pang of sadness and didn't want to ask any more questions.

After chatting for a few more minutes, seeing that it was getting late, Fan Shengmei said goodbye, and the two of them finally ended their conversation.

Wang Baichuan insisted on paying the bill, but Fan Shengmei had already paid after ordering the food before he arrived. She didn't want to take advantage of other men and upset Li Mu.

At this moment, Wang Baichuan felt both frustrated and admiring.

He was supposed to treat everyone, and it was supposed to be his chance to show off his generosity, but instead of going to a fancy Western restaurant, he ended up at this small restaurant, and in the end, he wasn't the one who paid the bill.

However, on the other hand, Fan Shengmei's act of paying the bill further elevated the image of the goddess in his mind. Such an independent, self-reliant goddess, who wouldn't even try to take advantage of her old classmate, is truly hard to find in this world.

After leaving the restaurant, Wang Baichuan was still reluctant to part ways and offered to see Fan Shengmei off.

Looking at the BMW 3 Series parked in front of the restaurant, Fan Shengmei casually praised, "Not bad! Old classmate, you're driving a BMW now."

Hearing the goddess praise him, Wang Baichuan felt a little smug.

He said modestly, "Oh, not at all! It's just a BMW 3 Series, the entry-level model, not expensive. It's nothing, nothing..." As he said this, there was still some pride on his face. As long as he could show himself in front of the goddess, especially after hearing her praise, nothing else really mattered.

As for the car, he rented it, whether he forgot or deliberately ignored it, he naturally wouldn't mention it.

Perhaps he was so happy to receive such a rare compliment from his goddess that he forgot about renting the car?

With his confidence slightly restored, Wang Baichuan said with great flair, "Shengmei, where is your company? I'll give you a ride!"

Fan Shengmei also drove, but Wang Baichuan arrived late and didn't see her.

She smiled faintly and said, "No need, old classmate, I also drove here."

As he spoke, he pressed the car key in his hand, and a burgundy BMW sports car next to him beeped twice.

Goodbye, old classmate.

With that, she gracefully got into the car, put on sunglasses, waved, and quickly disappeared into the traffic.

Wang Baichuan stared blankly at the BMW sports car, feeling both bitter and resentful. He had originally wanted to see Fan Shengmei off and show off his strength and gentlemanly manners, but now his mind was completely blank.

He was fairly perceptive; he knew that the sports car Fan Shengmei drove wasn't expensive, but that was only for wealthy people. Two of his 3 Series cars were worth as much as one of hers.

Besides, this car is only rented; does he intend to rent a higher-end one next time?

Chapter 147 Qiu Yingying is Happy

That day, Qiu Yingying got up early. Today was a big day for her. She finally got a new job at a medium-sized e-commerce company with brand stores on Tmall and JD.com.

This job was introduced to her by Sister Fan. The interview was just a formality; she could start working as soon as she arrived, and the salary was 50% higher than her previous job.

This made Qiu Yingying extremely happy. She now idolizes Sister Fan to the point of worship, just like Guan Juer idolizes Andy.

Qiu Yingying tidied herself up carefully and then knocked on Fan Shengmei's door. No one was home; she'd probably gone for a run again.

Excited, Qiu Yingying couldn't stay still and wandered around the house for quite a while before Fan Shengmei finally returned, panting.

Qiu Yingying's face immediately lit up with joy, and she rushed over, wanting to give him another hug.

"Sister Fan, thank you so much, I'm so happy."

Fan Shengmei quickly dodged away: "Yingying, it's all the right thing to do. My silly little sister is so naive, I'm worried about her! What if she gets scammed if I don't help her?"

Qiu Yingying's hug was dodged by Fan Shengmei, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled smugly and said, "So even a little idiot can win."

Fan Shengmei was speechless. How could such a statement be interpreted like that? She really didn't know how Qiu Yingying's thought process worked.

Fan Shengmei went back to her room to tidy up, and when she went out again, she found Qiu Yingying standing in front of her door.

Upon seeing Fan Shengmei emerge, Qiu Yingying immediately exclaimed happily, "Sister Fan, today is my first day at work. What do you think of my outfit? Doesn't it look good? Hopefully, it will leave a good impression on my colleagues."

Fan Shengmei looked Qiu Yingying up and down a few times and commented, "Your outfit is not bad, but it's missing something."

As she spoke, she turned and went back into the house. She took out a handbag and handed it to Qiu Yingying. Although it was a counterfeit, it matched Qiu Yingying's outfit perfectly.

Despite having worked for quite some time, Qiu Yingying doesn't even own a decent handbag. She happily looked at the bag from left to right, then went to the mirror to look at herself and struck a pose.

Seeing her youthful and beautiful reflection in the mirror, she became even happier and turned to rush into Fan Shengmei's arms again.

Fan Shengmei quickly stopped her and added, "Xiao Qiu, you need to pay attention to your image when you're out. Be more elegant in your movements and don't be too exaggerated. When you laugh, try to smile gently and don't laugh out loud. This will make you appear more mature and make your superiors and colleagues more willing to trust you."

Qiu Yingying was stunned.

"Sister Fan, I understand what you're saying, but I don't know how to do it. Can you teach me?"

Fan Shengmei was a little dumbfounded. How was she supposed to teach her? The two of them had completely different figures and styles.

After thinking for a moment, he rolled his eyes and said, "If you really don't know what to do, then you should learn from Guan Guan and see how she talks and walks normally."

Qiu Yingying was very obedient. She tilted her head back and began to think about how Guan Guan spoke and walked. After a long while, she exclaimed, "I never thought that after working for two years, I would still have to learn how Guan Guan speaks and walks."

As she spoke, she actually imitated Guan Guan's posture, walking back and forth a few steps in a rather awkward manner. Before Fan Shengmei could say anything, Qiu Yingying started laughing to herself.

Seeing this, Fan Shengmei quickly gave up the idea of ​​creating a new image for Qiu Yingying. It was too difficult, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Since that was the case, Fan Shengmei didn't say anything more. She gave Qiu Yingying some more kind advice before sending her off to work.

As soon as Qiu Yingying left, Guan Juer got up looking sleepy. After washing up, she even started to dress up carefully and asked Fan Shengmei for her opinion.

Fan Shengmei started to get curious. Today was Qiu Yingying's first day of work, and Guan Juer was doing it for some reason. Could she be in love? It didn't seem like it!

After asking, I found out she was going to a class reunion after get off work. I couldn't help but joke, "Guan Guan, have you ever heard the saying, 'Holding a class reunion every now and then will break up one couple after another'?"

Guan Ju was stunned.

"Sister Fan, should I still go?"

Seeing that Guan Guan was startled by her joke, Fan Shengmei quickly waved her hand and laughed, "Sister Fan was just joking. Since you're not strangers, it's okay, go ahead! Just remember not to drink."

"If there are any problems, call Sister Fan."

Guan Juer hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, Sister Fan."

After watching Guan Juer leave, Fan Shengmei calmly tidied herself up and took the elevator downstairs.
