Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan's attitude undoubtedly made Long Tao even more unhappy. "By the way, have you asked about the prices of the houses here? This is one of the most expensive residential complexes in Beihai."

"If you're interested, I can introduce you to a reliable sales position, but to be honest, the salary at your community clinic—"

He looked Chu Nan up and down. "I suggest you check out the apartment complex next door. They have smaller units there, and the down payment is lower. Although it's a bit far from the city center, you don't need to worry about commuting if you live near the community clinic."

"Long Tao."

Chu Lianlian's voice finally carried a hint of restraint; she knew Chu Nan's strength.

Although Long Tao comes from a wealthy family, when it comes to talent, he can't even compare to a fraction of Chu Nan's.

She chose to break up because she couldn't see a future with Chu Nan, not because Chu Nan himself was bad.

She didn't want to see Long Tao belittle Chu Nan in front of her, at least not in this way.

Long Tao ignored Chu Lianlian's obstruction; on the contrary, she became even more enthusiastic because of it.

He took a step forward, his smile carrying an undisguised mockery.

"By the way, Senior Brother Chu, do you have a girlfriend now? No, I should ask that, after all, what woman would want to be with a small clinic doctor who has no house, no car, and no future?"

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from the direction of the corridor, "Who said he doesn't have a girlfriend?"

Xia Wantang walked out from the corner of the corridor, her steps light and confident.

She walked to Chu Nan's side, naturally took his arm, tilted her head to look at Long Tao, and wore a lazy yet confident smile.

"I'm his girlfriend. What, do you think we're not a good match?"

Long Tao was stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect that a woman would suddenly appear to stand up for Chu Nan, and he did not expect that she would be so beautiful after she appeared.

It wasn't the kind of beauty he was used to seeing in high society socialites, but a completely different kind of beauty—aggressive and impossible to ignore.

But it's not over yet.

Xia Wantang glanced back at Jiang Yingxue, who was still standing there, and winked at her, "Sister Xue, what are you still standing there for?"

Given Jiang Yingxue's personality, it's impossible for her to take the initiative to do anything intimate in this situation.

But seeing Xia Wantang alone with Chu Nan, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Jiang Yingxue took a deep breath, stepped forward, and awkwardly took Chu Nan's other arm.

She didn't speak, but simply turned her face slightly to the other side, her ears turning so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

The entire sales hall fell silent for a moment.

Chu Nan stood in the middle, with Xia Wantang on his left and Jiang Yingxue on his right.

These two women, one languid and charming, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that looked like it was painted on, tilted her head and looked at people with a nonchalant certainty.

A cool and aloof person, with exquisite features that seemed to have stepped out of a traditional Chinese painting, turned their face to one side, clearly a little shy, yet they didn't let go of each other's hands.

They were both arm in arm with the same man, a sight that silenced everyone present for a second or two.

Long Tao's sarcastic remark, "No house, no car, no future, what woman would want to be with you?" hadn't even landed when it was torn to shreds by the scene before him.

Chu Lianlian's pupils contracted slightly as she watched this scene.

She was unfamiliar with Beihai's high society and had never been there, but anyone could tell that the two women in front of her were not simple.

That kind of temperament isn't something you can build up with makeup and clothes; it comes from within, something you're born with.

Chu Lianlian subconsciously took a half step back, hiding herself behind Long Tao, as if afraid of being compared to them.

But it was too late; she knew her boyfriend was looking at the two women with a gaze she had never seen before.

Long Tao's gaze shifted back and forth between Xia Wantang and Jiang Yingxue, finally settling on Jiang Yingxue.

Xia Wantang is too aggressive; she's clearly the type you shouldn't mess with.

But Jiang Yingxue was different. She was cold but reserved, and her movements as she held Chu Nan's arm were stiff, as if it were the first time she had ever done something like this.

Once this kind of woman is won over, she can be more captivating than a woman who is passionate and fiery.

He cleared his throat and put on his most appropriate social smile.

"Are you two friends of Chu Nan? I am Long Tao. My father is the director of Renji Hospital. May I ask how I should address you?"

He straightened his back deliberately as he said this, and casually showed off his expensive watch.

Jiang Yingxue didn't even glance at him, but turned her face to the other side, leaving behind an extremely indifferent profile.

Xia Wantang did glance at him, but her gaze was as if she were looking at a fly that had accidentally flown onto the dining table.

She looked Long Tao up and down, then smiled.

The smile looked friendly, but combined with her slightly narrowed almond-shaped eyes, it made people feel uncomfortable.

"Renji Hospital? Is that the private hospital that the health bureau has warned us about several times, saying they'd check our billing records?"

Long Tao's face stiffened for a moment. "That's malicious competition from our peers; it's pure rumor."

"Oh, maybe so. But I heard your plastic surgery department is pretty good, it just got a bad reputation after a few people died there. By the way, is this your girlfriend?"

Xia Wantang looked at Chu Lianlian, "Miss, your nose is quite pretty. You probably didn't get it done at their place, did you?"

Long Tao's face turned from white to red, then from red to purple, as if he had been punched in the chest, and all his lines were stuck in his throat.

Just then, a middle-aged man in business attire ran quickly from the stairwell, followed by several employees in similar uniforms.

He is the sales manager here. He was in a meeting upstairs when he received a call from his subordinate and rushed downstairs immediately.

He ran up to Xia Wantang, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful but urgent tone, "President Xia, why didn't you let me know you were coming?"

"We have a dedicated VIP reception room; you and your friends can go upstairs and take your time to look around."

Xia Wantang nodded slightly, her expression shifting from the lazy, teasing tone she had just displayed to the composure she displayed at the board meeting.

"The person buying a house today isn't me, it's my dear boyfriend."

Long Tao looked on with great surprise at what he saw.

He recognized the middle-aged man; when he arrived earlier, the sales manager had personally greeted him, and the man's attitude towards him was at most polite.

But now this person is bowing to Xia Wantang, bending his waist by a full half again as he did when he was bowing to her.

Long Tao looked at the two women standing next to Chu Nan. One was cold and distant but clung to Chu Nan, while the other had an amazing background but looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a fly.

Suddenly, I felt that the luxury watch on my wrist was being crushed bit by bit by some invisible force.

The sales manager responded in agreement, then turned to Chu Nan, his gaze lingering for a moment on Chu Nan's arms which were being held, before quickly making a judgment.

Regardless of who this young man is, someone who can get the president of Baihua Group to take his arm is definitely not someone he can afford to neglect!
