Peerless Cupid System

"I'm not in San Francisco."

"what?"

Ling Ziqian was startled. Had Ning Gang lied to him?

Ning Xian'er's laughter came through the receiver, "Perfect timing, I'm in San Jose too."

Hearing these words, Ling Ziqian felt even more nervous and excited.

He couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly and quickly asked, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"

Ning Xian'er found it amusing and giggled, "I know this area better than you do, so I should be the one looking for you. Where are you?"

Ling Ziqian strode onto the street. "I'm on the street leading to the airport. You don't need to turn any corners on this street to get to the airport."

"What a coincidence, I live nearby."

"Where are you?"

"You stay where you are and wait for me. I'll come to you."

After saying that, Ning Xian'er hung up the phone.

Ling Ziqian stood on the street, looking around nervously and excitedly.

Looking around, all I could see were blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.

Ling Ziqian felt uneasy and couldn't help but wander around, searching for Ning Xian'er's whereabouts.

As they reached the street corner, a figure in a red coat hurried towards them, and the two nearly bumped into each other.

They glanced at each other and were both stunned, as if the whole world had suddenly fallen silent.

Ling Ziqian was initially extremely nervous and excited, but upon seeing Ning Xian'er appear, he forgot his nervousness and excitement and became extremely calm.

Ning Xian'er wore a red overcoat that went past her knees and high heels. She was of ordinary appearance, but extremely attractive. Now, she was even more feminine.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Having not seen each other for a year, the two missed each other dearly.

"Long time no see." Ning Xian'er smiled broadly and opened her arms to hug Ling Ziqian.

"Yeah, long time no see." Ling Ziqian smiled and hugged her.

After they parted ways, Ling Ziqian was at a loss for words.

Ning Xian'er smiled sweetly, "Didn't you say you'd treat me to coffee?"

Ling Ziqian nodded quickly and walked towards a nearby coffee shop.

On the way, the two secretly observed each other.

Compared to a year ago, Ning Xian'er has become much more lively and cheerful, perhaps due to the influence of her environment.

Here, she's not a princess under immense pressure, nor are she restricted in her freedom by her parents.

In Ning Xian'er's eyes, Ling Ziqian had grown taller, stronger, and darker, which made her feel more at ease.

The two sat down in the coffee shop, and Ning Xian'er said that she currently lives in San Francisco and came to San Jose today mainly for business.

"You're not continuing your studies anymore?" Ling Ziqian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Why do you want to continue your studies?" Ning Xian'er asked with a smile. "I live a rather carefree life now, and it's hard for me to settle down and study. Every time I earn some money, I take it to travel. So far, I've been to many places!"

"Tell me about it," Ling Ziqian said with a smile.

Ning Xian'er shared the places she had been, and Ling Ziqian sat opposite her, listening attentively.

Sitting in a warm coffee shop on a chilly day.

Two guys who hadn't seen each other in a long time, one smiled and spoke, the other listened attentively.

This scene is like a beautiful landscape.

At this moment, both Ling Ziqian and Ning Xian'er felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, extremely comfortable.

Neither of them mentioned the past, nor was there any need to.

It's fine to maintain this distance and be friends like this.

Ning Xian'er talked a lot, then she gave Ling Ziqian a dissatisfied look, "Why is it always me talking? Why don't you talk about yourself? You're in college now, right? How's college life?"

Ling Ziqian smiled sheepishly, "The university I went to was rather special, there's not much to say about it."

"Oh, I see. What brings you to America all of a sudden? Are you here for fun?"

"That's one way to put it."

"Could you do me a favor? I'm about to discuss a business deal."

Ning Xian'er looked at Ling Ziqian expectantly, then pulled him to discuss business, feeling as if she had returned to the past.

Since Ning Xian'er said so, Ling Ziqian naturally smiled and nodded unconditionally.

Ling Ziqian agreed, and Ning Xian'er was overjoyed. She took out a document from her bag.

The document had a picture of a cobra printed on it...

Episode 51: A Revenge Journey Filled with Love and Hate

Chapter 404 This is all I can do for you!

Upon seeing the cobra image on the document, Ling Ziqian was startled.

Because Cobra Corporation had once ordered the killing of Yu Meiren, Ling Ziqian had a very bad impression of that company.

Now that he saw Ning Xian'er's business was related to that company, he was extremely worried.

But upon closer reflection, which company doesn't have some shady past?

Just because a cobra dared to kill a poppy back then doesn't mean it will attack everyone.

Even so, Ling Ziqian was still extremely curious, "What kind of business do you do with that Cobra Company?"

Ning Xian'er chuckled, "You actually called that company a cobra."

After making a sarcastic remark, Ning Xian'er explained with a smile, "You called that company 'Cobra,' so it seems you know a bit about it. They are a company, but also a research institution. They develop and manufacture many things every year, which requires various materials."

As she spoke, Ning Xian'er handed the documents in her hand to Ling Ziqian.

"Cobra Corporation posted a demand notice on its official website. They want a certain type of ore as raw material, and a friend of my aunt's happens to own such a mine. Now, I'm acting as the mine's salesman, promoting the ore to Cobra Corporation!"

"I see," Ling Ziqian nodded, indicating he understood. "When do you plan to go?"

Ning Xian'er smiled at Ling Ziqian, a blush appearing on her cheeks. "I was planning to go later, but since I've run into you, I'll go this afternoon."

Ling Ziqian wasn't oblivious to the romance. Although he wanted to visit Cobra Company, he was quite comfortable sitting with Ning Xian'er like this, so he decided to go in the afternoon and chat properly for now.

Ling Ziqian gestured for Ning Xian'er to put the documents away and nodded to her. "I'll go with you this afternoon."

"Hmm." Ning Xian'er put away the documents, blushing slightly as she took a sip of coffee. "Did you come alone? Didn't you bring your girlfriend?"

“I came here with my two older sisters. They should be meeting your aunt by now.”

Ning Xian'er immediately became excited, "Sister Qin Wu is here too?"

Ling Ziqian smiled and shook his head, "Sister Wu didn't come, but Sister Meiren did. You should know her. There's also my little sister."

Hearing Ling Ziqian say this, Ning Xian'er lowered her head, not out of regret or disappointment, but out of embarrassment and shyness.

One year ago, Ling Ziqian took her away from the Heavenly Palace, but was unfortunately shot.

She sacrificed herself to save Ling Ziqian.

At that time, she left while Ling Ziqian was asleep. As she walked out of the room, she encountered Qin Wu, Yu Meiren, and her aunt.

The thought that Yu Meiren knew about what she and Ling Ziqian had done made Ning Xian'er extremely ashamed.

It was quite cold, and there weren't many fun places nearby.

The two spent the entire morning talking and chatting in the coffee shop.

At noon, Ling Ziqian led Ning Xian'er to the Chinese restaurant from the previous night and treated her to a meal.

After the meal, Ning Xian'er took Ling Ziqian to get some things.

The so-called "thing" was a suitcase containing mineral samples.

The Cobra Corporation stated in the document that the ore must be brought for testing, and if the ore does not meet the standards, cooperation will not be possible.

The ore sample weighed twenty kilograms, but for Ling Ziqian, that weight was nothing.

But for Ning Xian'er, this was a very heavy thing.

This is also why she invited Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian picked up his suitcase, and Ning Xian'er gave an embarrassed smile.

She hailed a taxi, and the two headed to Cobra, a company located in Silicon Valley.

Ling Ziqian didn't forget to activate the interference program on Yu Meiren's phone.

With the interference, the silver watch didn't trigger the leakage alarm like it did yesterday.

The journey was smooth, and the two arrived at one of the most advanced places in the world.

Ling Ziqian wasn't there for sightseeing; he didn't notice the magnificent buildings of those famous companies.

As he stepped out of the taxi, his eyes locked onto the tall building adorned with a cobra design!

The building looked brand new. Ling Ziqian had seen the information; this was Cobra's new headquarters, and all the staff had moved in less than a year ago.

Seeing such a brand-new building, Ling Ziqian had an urge to blow it up!

"Then let's blow it up!" The evil voice of Phantom Moon echoed in his mind.

"We'll blow it up if we get the chance!" Ling Ziqian wasn't joking.

Back then, after Yu Meiren fell off the cliff, Ning Gang and Huang Jianlong still sold the technology Yu Meiren had developed to Cobra Company.

Yu Meiren guessed that kind of thing, which is why she said she would grant them wealth and glory.

They made a fortune selling their technology, which is why Ning Gang and Huang Jianlong were able to build such a massive company.

They appropriated the techniques of poppy cultivation for themselves and then sold them, so they felt extremely guilty and terrified.
