After hitting the Rolls-Royce, the top-tier green tea started fishing.

On the opening day of the Ecological Conference, Ruan Zhining got up early to put on makeup.

At school, she naturally maintained her white-dress goddess look. In social situations, the most important thing is your public persona.

The conference venue was divided into an outer area and an inner area. Normally, as a third-year university student, she wouldn't be allowed to enter the inner area.

But she was so beautiful that she managed to get an indoor permit from a young male supervisor after turning around once.

It was full of top business tycoons. Ruan Zhining wasn't trying to hook anyone today, nor was she feigning timidity or admiration.

She wandered around, searching for Yin Jianhang.

Before she could find it, she saw a tall man surrounded by several people in the rest area—

Wen Chongyan.

The moment Ruan Zhining saw him, Wen Chongyan's gaze also swept over.

Seeing her didn't seem surprising to him; rather, it was expected. He narrowed his dark eyes, staring at her without looking away.

The moment Ruan Zhining saw him, she thought of Jiang Linfeng, whom she had lost, and her dream of becoming a wealthy young lady, and she felt like she was about to explode.

But the thought of that gold bar from the Wen family forced me to calm down—

She's already lost the Jiang family; she can't afford to lose the gold bars too. One can't have it both ways.

She quickly looked away, pretending not to see it.

Then I found a seat and sat down.

As the conference opened, people walked around, greeting each other.

During this period, Wen Chongyan passed by Ruan Zhining three times, either in front of her or beside her.

Ruan Zhining missed him twice, and saw him once but ignored it.

She had no interest in Wen Chongyan, only anger. Her current concern was for Yin Jianhang.

Could it be someone with the same name?

This turned out not to be the case. After the opening ceremony, Ruan Zhining successfully met Yin Jianhang in the audience.

Her childhood neighbor, the older brother she grew up with. In the city, they'd call him a childhood sweetheart, or perhaps a mortal enemy?

"Holy shit!" Yin Jianhang was utterly terrified. "Ruan Zhi Ning! You're in Beijing? You fucking in Beijing?!"

"Keep your voice down." Ruan Zhining frowned and spoke softly, "Don't swear at me in public, or people will think I'm that kind of person."

"You're still playing the 'green tea' character, huh?" Yin Jianhang clicked his tongue. "You started being a 'green tea' in the first year of junior high, haven't you had enough after all these years? Wait, have you hooked up with a rich guy yet? You haven't secretly made a fortune already, have you?"

Who's secretly making a fortune?!

Ruan Zhining took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kick him, "Stop being so 'Versailles' here. Didn't you found a tech company...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a deep, gentlemanly male voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Mr. Yin."

?

Ruan Zhining knew whose voice it was without even turning around.

She had just frowned when Yin Jianhang beside her straightened up instantly, looking incredibly sophisticated.

"The richest man... no, Mr. Wen, hello. I've been wanting to talk to you for a while, but I haven't had the chance. You can just call me Xiao Yin."

Ruan Zhining, "..." She just wanted to smash Yin Jianhang's head!

She's just as useless as her. Sigh.

She lowered her head, preparing not to participate in their business conversation.

But Wen Chongyan only exchanged a few words with Yin Jianhang before turning the conversation to her.

"Why did you get involved in this ecological conference?"

"Huh? Ask her?" Ruan Zhining bit her lip, but really didn't want to talk to him. She turned her face away.

Yin Jianhang wanted to give Ruan Zhining a wink, telling her to be careful not to offend the bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles.

But to his surprise, Wen Chongyan, despite being ignored like this, wasn't angry. Instead, he looked down at Ruan Zhining's profile and spoke in an even lower voice:

Are you looking for a job or someone to help you?

Ruan Zhining still ignored him. She turned her body slightly to the side, not even facing him.

Wen Chongyan's handsome brows furrowed in displeasure as he stared coldly at Ruan Zhining's profile.

But after staring at her for only five or six seconds, his gaze fell on Ruan Zhining's small earlobe, and his eyes became deep, intense, and heavy.

Although he didn't speak again, he didn't leave either.

The two of them stood there like that, as if... they were having a tiff?

Yin Jianhang looked at Wen Chongyan, then at Ruan Zhining. His eyes widened in shock, as if he had discovered something new.

This is incredible...

But Yin Jianhang didn't have a chance to say anything more, as someone soon came to call him to get in the car.

Ruan Zhining immediately looked up, "Hey, Yin..."

"Lin Feng asked me to ask you why you didn't answer his calls?" Wen Chongyan interrupted her calmly, "You two only broke up a week ago."

Ruan Zhining suddenly looked up and glared at him.

Wen Chongyan didn't speak, but lifted his eyelids to look at Yin Jianhang, his tone indifferent, "Mr. Yin, take care. Miss Ruan and I have some private matters to discuss."

Yin Jianhang left. Ruan Zhining hadn't even had a chance to add him on WeChat yet.

She gritted her teeth, and Wen Chongyan's voice came from beside her, "He's already gone, why are you still looking—do you know him?"

Ruan Zhining looked away, not wanting to pay him any attention. She lifted her foot to leave, but he grabbed her arm.

"Ruan Zhining," Wen Chongyan said in a low, cold voice, "I'm talking to you."

Ruan Zhining said sarcastically, "How dare I speak to the richest man? Aren't you afraid that after I seduce your nephew and your childhood friend—I'll pester you and seduce you again?"

Wen Chongyan's fingers tightened suddenly around her arm. He looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing. "You have this idea?"

"I—I'm not. I'm not even dead! You can rest assured now!"

Ruan Zhining said angrily and reached out to push him, but Wen Chongyan held her arm tightly and wouldn't let go, his eyes were dark.

"You have nothing to say to me?"

It's been 9 days.

Nine days have passed since she last kissed him.

She didn't contact him at all, nor did she appear in any setting.

What was she really thinking? Or was she truly drunk, and kissing him was just revenge, a sign of anger?

The more Wen Chongyan thought about it, the darker his expression became.

"What brings you here today?" he asked again.

She doesn't seem like the kind of college student who's keen on gaining entrepreneurial experience.

She was a cunning and beautiful green tea. The moment she appeared, she made all the foolish men present stare at her.

We shouldn't have let her come. It would be better if she stayed home. She doesn't like mansions, so let's keep her in Tan Garden.

Ruan Zhining's heart skipped a beat when she thought of the gold bars.

She hurriedly said, "No, I didn't do anything. My roommate signed me up, so I just came to check it out."

Upon hearing this, Wen Chongyan seemed displeased, his aura turning cold and somber. He stared at her expressionlessly.

Did your roommate sign you up?

"yes."

Wen Chongyan remained silent.

So, she didn't come to this conference for him.

Yes. That's better.

This way, he won't have to figure out how to reject her when she comes to him and tries to hook him up. It saves him the trouble.

He was simply kissed by her while she was drunk, which caused him to worry that she might be trying to hook him. That's all.

That's it.

Wen Chongyan said calmly, "Your roommate treats you well. Attending this kind of meeting will be helpful to you—do you know that young entrepreneur surnamed Yin from earlier?"

"He's my childhood friend."

"Childhood friend?" Wen Chongyan frowned. They were actually that close?

He thought he was just another foolish man who had been hooked up with her manipulative tactics.

Childhood friend, opposite sex—this is indeed a very good relationship.

Perhaps a reunion will spark a different kind of feeling?

"I just heard Mr. Yin say on stage that he's been starting businesses abroad," he said casually. "You haven't been in touch with him for a long time?"

?

Ruan Zhining didn't understand why he was asking these questions. She was her childhood friend, not his! Why should he care?!

He broke her up with Jiang Linfeng, didn't he get what he wanted? Now she's not causing trouble for his childhood friend anymore.

She got angry just thinking about it, looked away, and said, "No. We haven't been in touch. Everyone's broke, who has time? I have something to do, my counselor is looking for me, I have to go. Let go of me..."

Why was he pulling and tugging at us? There were so many people around.

And she's still angry! She doesn't want to talk to him at all! But she's so cowardly, she instinctively answers whenever he asks her a question, how awful!

Wen Chongyan stared coldly at her, and seeing how fiercely she struggled, he finally let go.

As soon as he was released, Ruan Zhining ran away. Without even a moment's hesitation.

Wen Chongyan stared at her slender, fleeing figure. He felt extremely annoyed by her impatience. He was displeased.

She didn't mention that night, that kiss, at all. It was as if it never happened. Like a heartless, cruel woman who took a kiss and then left without a trace.

He reached up and tugged at his bow tie, the thought of her kissing him making it hard to breathe. It must be because he was too uncomfortable with women's touch.

and so.

Was she really drunk that night?

Don't you remember anything?

Ruan Zhining truly remembers nothing. Now, she is filled with nothing but regret.

She must have been watching too much TikTok, which caused her to become nearsighted. She didn't even notice that Wen Chongyan was at this conference!

She boarded the bus in a huff, thinking about searching for Yin Jianhang's company's phone number so she could re-establish contact with him.

Before she could even spend time searching, Yin Jianhang unexpectedly added her on WeChat that evening.

"Wow, you're amazing! The campus belle of S University, the goddess in the white dress! Our little green tea has really made it big! Your WeChat account is selling for a thousand yuan outside?"

"Damn expensive. But at least I'm making some money now, I'm not a poor kid anymore."

As soon as the WeChat voice call connected, Yin Jianhang started teasing her.

When she's not out in public, Ruan Zhining doesn't care about her public image anymore.

"Only a thousand yuan? Don't you think a beautiful woman like me is worth that much? Yin Jianhang, what do you mean? Say it again!"

"Worth it, worth it. The little green tea girls from our Guangzhou are the most capable; they even managed to hook up with the richest man. Wen Chongyan, you're kidding, he's a top big shot in Beijing's social circle. I've asked him out so many times, and I've never succeeded even once."

"Don't mention him!" Ruan Zhining sighed. "Don't talk about things that hurt me. I'm going to throw a tantrum."

Yin Jianhang: "...Don't tell me you've already broken up, or are you currently in a cold war with him?"

?

Ruan Zhining frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting? What cold war period?

"You and Wen Chongyan," Yin Jianhang said, "I saw it all with my own eyes today. Are you still trying to hide it from me?"

What's going on?

Ruan Zhining got angry, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up."

"No, Ruan Zhining, are you faking it or what? Do you really think I'm some stupid rich kid you hooked up with? I'm a playboy who crawled out of the slums, okay?"

Yin Jianhang clicked his tongue and said, "Wen Chongyan was looking at you like that, his eyes... he's obviously interested in you. Aren't you going to confess?"

?

Ruan Zhining was completely stunned.
