Missing your smile

Chapter 41 Lost the Bet Again

For this new product launch, Jiang Yanxi had invited quite a famous celebrity. However, compared to Song Bingbing, no one in the entertainment industry had greater fame. Many people wanted Song Bingbing to endorse their advertisements, but she had rejected them all.

If Song Bingbing could be invited to be the product spokesperson, the effect would undoubtedly be unprecedented. Unfortunately, Jiang Yanxi didn't believe Qin Hui could pull it off.

Seeing Jiang Yanxi's confident expression, Qin Hui decided to teach this arrogant woman a lesson. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't.

"Forget about taking my surname. After all, we'll be family sooner or later. If I succeed, will you accompany me for a few nights?"

Qin Hui said with utmost seriousness.

"You pervert, shameless, vulgar. I really don't know what you think about all day."

Jiang Yanxi slammed the table, her demeanor extremely assertive.

Having been accustomed to being a CEO, she naturally held a superior attitude and tended to look down on Qin Hui.

"Look at you getting all smug. I'll show you your true colors later."

Qin Hui quickly took out his phone and opened Song Bingbing's social media.

Upon opening it, Qin Hui was somewhat astonished. He hadn't expected Song Bingbing's social media to be so rich. It not only showcased delicious food but also featured artistic oil paintings. Of course, what attracted Qin Hui the most were her bikini photos on the beach, which stirred a slight flame within him.

"Here, look for yourself."

Qin Hui placed his phone in front of Jiang Yanxi. The phone displayed a photo of Song Bingbing in a swimsuit, along with a caption: "The sea is so beautiful. I wish time could stop at this moment."

Jiang Yanxi glanced at it dismissively, about to expose Qin Hui's baseless lie. But upon clearly seeing the woman in the photo, Jiang Yanxi froze. She snatched Qin Hui's phone and began to scroll through the screen with her slender fingers.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yanxi's incredibly beautiful face was filled with disbelief. She had initially thought Qin Hui was just bragging, but she never expected he actually knew Song Bingbing.

Song Bingbing's fame in the entertainment industry was immense. How could Qin Hui possibly know her?

"How do you know her?"

Jiang Yanxi's alcohol-induced haze cleared considerably. If they could indeed invite Song Bingbing, the company's crisis could be easily resolved. Not only that, but Jiang Yanxi could also make a decisive comeback and show Zhang Ke the consequences of crossing her!

"That's not important. What about my proposal? If I can get Song Bingbing to come, will you accompany me for a few nights?"

After speaking, Qin Hui's gaze swept over Jiang Yanxi's long, black-stocking-clad legs, his expression one of smug victory.

Jiang Yanxi, who had been feeling curious about Qin Hui, immediately grew cold upon hearing his words.

"Can't you speak like a decent person?"

Jiang Yanxi felt a sense of disappointment, almost like he was wasting potential. She had started to feel a sliver of interest in Qin Hui, but he had forcefully extinguished it.

"Why am I not speaking like a decent person? You are the high and mighty CEO. I can't exactly talk about a long-term relationship with you, can I? A simple transactional night seems more practical. I'm not one for the long run; I only focus on what I can get right now."

Qin Hui grinned greedily, his eyes appraising Jiang Yanxi's stunning figure. If he could "win over" Jiang Yanxi tonight, it would definitely be worth it.

Hearing this, Jiang Yanxi's chest heaved with anger. However, she quickly realized something was amiss.

Why was her temper being so easily provoked by Qin Hui?

This was usually the most disadvantageous situation.

Jiang Yanxi was a very proactive person; she had to maintain control.

"Alright, since you desire me so much, your elder sister will fulfill your wish tonight."

Jiang Yanxi flashed a breathtaking smile, gazing at Qin Hui with eyes so gentle they could melt a person.

"Ahem, forget it, let's just forget it. Consider it me helping you for free this once."

Qin Hui immediately backed down. If Jiang Yanxi actually took a liking to him, Qin Hui wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Qin Hui had just been trying to scare Jiang Yanxi; he wouldn't dare ask her to sleep with him. Qin Hui merely wanted to see if Jiang Yanxi would make a fool of herself when frightened.

Unfortunately for him, Qin Hui was outmaneuvered, and Jiang Yanxi saw through his ploy.

Seeing Qin Hui's retreat, Jiang Yanxi smirked triumphantly, crossing her arms. "Little man, you're still too green to contend with me."

"You're amazing. I admit defeat."

Qin Hui gave a thumbs-up. In this day and age, you're not afraid of female hooligans, but you should fear educated female hooligans.

"Alright, arrange a meeting time with Song Bingbing. After this matter is handled, you'll be rewarded."

Jiang Yanxi said with great anticipation.

Qin Hui nodded slightly. He didn't dare to think about rewards. He just hoped Jiang Yanxi wouldn't bother him as often; otherwise, Qin Hui would be overwhelmed. While Qin Hui didn't fear trouble, having no trouble was the best scenario.

By the time they finished their tasks, it was nearly two in the morning. Jiang Yanxi sat at the table, her eyelids beginning to droop. She could have gone back to rest, but she wanted to witness Qin Hui completing everything firsthand. This matter was too crucial for her, so she had to keep a close eye on it.

"Alright, everything is resolved. You can go back. Come back tomorrow."

Qin Hui stretched lazily. He never wanted to do such thankless work again.

"It's so late. Can you bear to let a girl like me go back alone?"

"Besides, traveling back and forth will take a lot of time."

Jiang Yanxi looked at Qin Hui with a wronged expression, appearing pitiable.

Qin Hui was instantly speechless, realizing he had truly provoked this woman today.

"Fine, there's a guest room on the west side. Go and rest."

"Remember to lock the door at night."

Qin Hui chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't lock the door at night."

Jiang Yanxi smiled triumphantly and walked towards the guest room with her long, beautiful legs.

Watching Jiang Yanxi's retreating figure, Qin Hui sighed helplessly, wondering how all this had come to be.

Returning to his own room, Qin Hui didn't rush to rest but instead reviewed the Nine Yang Divine Needles and the Ghost Valley Twelve Needle Techniques.

As of now, Qin Hui had already displayed the Nine Yang Divine Needles to the public, which was already an incredibly powerful needling technique.

However, compared to the Nine Yang Divine Needles, Qin Hui's specialty was the Ghost Valley Twelve Needle Techniques, as the Nine Yang Divine Needles were created by predecessors, while the Ghost Valley Twelve Needle Techniques were Qin Hui's own creations.

After reviewing them, Qin Hui sat cross-legged on the bed, contemplating the matters ahead.

Once he helped Jiang Yanxi resolve this issue, Qin Hui intended to deal with Zhang Ke. Qin Hui would not passively wait for trouble to come to his doorstep; that would be too reactive.

Qin Hui certainly did not want to be a good person. Few good people survive long in this world. Qin Hui's principle of action was: if you make me unable to see tomorrow's sun, I will make you unable to see tonight's moon.

After confirming these plans, Qin Hui gently closed his eyes. As for Jiang Yanxi's room next door, Qin Hui didn't even glance at it.
