While Zhang Tianxing was diligently studying behind closed doors, conversations among his classmates caught his attention.
It turned out that the Boston Museum of Natural History was to host a grand exhibition in the coming days, featuring several rare treasures. This news sparked a desire for relaxation among the students, weary from their heavy academic load.
The saying "The way of learning lies in not being too hasty, not being too idle" perfectly illustrates this principle: combining work and rest yields twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, a blonde beauty approached. Dressed in a form-fitting skirt and sporting a cascade of golden waves, her face beamed with a happy smile. This was none other than Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre, holding two tickets, found Zhang Tianxing. "My dear, I've specially prepared these tickets for you. Let me show you around our Boston Museum, filled with countless rare treasures."
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in these things. I'm very busy lately, with so much to do," Zhang Tianxing politely refused Jane Eyre's kind offer. He was almost drowning in work.
Starting a company is difficult; managing people is even more so.
Especially a group of talented technicians with their own ideas. Management is an art, and Zhang Tianxing felt it was too difficult, something he truly didn't know how to do. He was swamped.
Jane Eyre frowned beautifully. She had taken great pains to dress up and gathered her courage to invite Zhang Tianxing. She wasn't like those women outside who were only after Zhang Tianxing's money; her intentions were pure. She simply found Zhang Tianxing handsome and attractive.
Coupled with the fact that he had saved her life, this young woman felt she had no way to repay him but to offer herself in return. It was an undeniable sentiment.
Who would have thought that Zhang Tianxing would not give her, this "man-eater," a single chance? Jane Eyre gritted her teeth in frustration. She was a peerless beauty, known as the "wise and beautiful girl" at Harvard, with countless admirers vying for a chance to date her.
Yet, this handsome man, possessing extraordinary skills, had such poor emotional intelligence, giving her no opportunity to get close.
Thinking of this, Jane Eyre couldn't help but smile, licking her red lips with her tongue. This handsome Eastern man was becoming more and more interesting. Things you can't have always seem better.
At least this handsome man wasn't like the others she had encountered, who were only after her money and body.
Whether this was Zhang Tianxing's tactic of playing hard to get or his usual way of doing things, Zhang Tianxing's actions had piqued Jane Eyre's strong interest.
Originally, she had sought a brief encounter, but now it seemed this was not something that could be resolved in just one night. Jane Eyre had developed a deep interest in Zhang Tianxing.
With this thought, Jane Eyre leaned forward and whispered into Zhang Tianxing's ear, "The museum has quite a few exhibits from China. Don't you want to take a look?"
This point instantly broke through Zhang Tianxing's defenses. Far from home, he could only yearn for his homeland in his heart and longed to see artifacts from China.
"Alright, I will definitely go then." Zhang Tianxing nodded. Jane Eyre's earnest invitation was hard to refuse. If he continued to decline, who knew what this blonde girl might do.
The seductive scent that had wafted past his ear moments ago made it impossible for him to concentrate. He needed to send this little girl away quickly; his day's tasks were not yet complete.
Otherwise, if this continued, Zhang Tianxing feared he wouldn't be able to control himself and would end up "taking her down right there and then."
Thinking of Guo Jiajia, who was so close, Zhang Tianxing immediately focused his mind, his gaze fixed on his nose, his nose on his heart. To be a boss to this extent was also a kind of sorrow, being so tightly managed by his secretary.
Upon receiving Zhang Tianxing's affirmative reply, Jane Eyre smiled with satisfaction. Even good men can't resist persistent pursuit. She didn't believe Zhang Tianxing could escape her grasp.
"Alright, it's a deal. I'll drive my sports car to pick you up then. It's settled!" she said, and with a sway of her hips, she walked away.
"Boss, that woman is up to no good. I think her inviting you to the museum is a pretense; her real intention is to get you," Guo Jiajia suddenly said, her words dripping with unconcealed jealousy.
"That's impossible. I'm just going to the museum with her, not to a hotel. You're overthinking it. Even if that girl agreed, I wouldn't do anything scandalous in a public place. I have my principles; you have to believe me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be my assistant," Zhang Tianxing said with a smile.
Others might have the desire but not the courage; he simply didn't want to get entangled in these romantic debts.
Romantic debts are still debts, and all debts must be repaid. Zhang Tianxing disliked owing anyone anything; he preferred others to owe him. If he owed a debt, he would repay it immediately; if he couldn't, he would offer himself.
Time passed quickly. Dressed impeccably, Jane Eyre arrived at the school in a flashy red Ferrari.
"Zhang Tianxing, hurry up and get in! I'll take you to the museum."
Zhang Tianxing was stunned when he saw the Ferrari. Damn it, he had been tricked by this girl. He had originally planned to ask Guo Jiajia to accompany him.
This Ferrari sports car only had two seats. He couldn't possibly have Guo Jiajia sit on his lap. He looked at Jane Eyre with a troubled expression.
Before Zhang Tianxing could speak, Guo Jiajia spoke first, "Little Boss Zhang, you go with the beautiful lady. I have something to attend to at the company."
Little darling, you want to compete with me? I've seen plenty like you.
Loving a man isn't about keeping him constantly by your side; it's about giving him enough space.
Men are perverse creatures; after playing around outside, they naturally return to your side.
Besides, Guo Jiajia trusted Zhang Tianxing. People say that men turn bad when they have money, but Zhang Tianxing was clearly not that kind of person; he wasn't someone who would succumb to lust at the sight of beauty.
Guo Jiajia felt very secure about Zhang Tianxing, and besides, she had no formal title yet.
Her current goal was singular: to become an indispensable assistant in Zhang Tianxing's career, making it impossible for him to leave her.
Behind every successful man, there are countless women silently supporting him. She was willing to give Zhang Tianxing everything.
After witnessing the miracles Zhang Tianxing had created, Guo Jiajia simply wanted to know one thing: to see the limits of Zhang Tianxing. To her surprise, Zhang Tianxing had brought her one pleasant surprise after another.
He went abroad for an exchange program, intending to make waves back home. In a foreign land, unfamiliar with the surroundings, and considered a poor student, Zhang Tianxing had arrived at a school for prodigies.
Whether he could even graduate smoothly here was uncertain. Yet, when she arrived, Zhang Tianxing's assets had already reached another level.
Damn it, it was truly unbelievable. He had shorted the Nasdaq index. A student, defying the doubts of authorities.
Amidst the advice of teachers, classmates, and friends, he resolutely stuck to his decision to short the Nasdaq, amassing wealth that was unfitting for his age.
