Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503: 501, candlelight dinner! Applause!

After figuring these things out, Luofeng chuckled inwardly. He hadn’t expected to possess such deterrent power, had he?

Fang Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard what Wang Hua said. She wasn’t a fool and could naturally tell that Wang Hua was fawning over Luofeng. So, Luofeng was a big shot? Just moments ago, she had wondered if the talk of gifting a multi-million Yuan apartment was fake, but could it actually be true now? They had always urged Qin Rubing to find a wealthy boyfriend, and now she really had found one? But why didn’t I feel happy at all?

"Ah, so you’re from *that* department..." Luofeng nodded. "A pleasure to meet you!" Having clarified the situation, Luofeng took the initiative to shake Wang Hua’s hand, showing his respect.

Although Luofeng extended one hand, Wang Hua, eager to show respect, quickly reached out with both of his.

After they let go, Luofeng casually asked, "Rubing, what does your aunt do for a living?"

Qin Rubing replied, "I think she’s a Chinese language teacher at the high school affiliated with North Third Road!"

So that was it! Wang Hua also filed away this piece of information. No wonder Fang Yuanyuan was sucking up to me just now; I’m the boss of her boss.

A smile crept onto Luofeng’s lips after learning Fang Yuanyuan’s profession.

Fang Yuanyuan had a sinking feeling.

Luofeng said, "Director Wang, let me introduce you. This lady here is my girlfriend’s stepmother. As you’ve just heard, she’s a teacher over there!"

Luofeng continued, "If it’s convenient, and within the bounds of regulations, please take good care of my girlfriend’s stepmother!"

"By the way, Auntie," Luofeng added, turning to Fang Yuanyuan, "Rubing and I are also shopping for cosmetics. I plan to buy La Prairie, so you can continue looking at Guerlain. We’ll be off now!"

Luofeng’s last sentence clearly delineated the relationships. And between the lines, he kept emphasizing "girlfriend’s stepmother."

If Director Wang didn’t understand the implication, he’d have wasted all these years in his position.

Director Wang said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Luo, I’ll definitely take good care of her!"

Fang Yuanyuan’s face turned ugly. How could she not understand Luofeng’s meaning? Was he deliberately trying to mess with her?

Within the system, there’s a classic saying: "The sugar I make may not necessarily be sweet, but the vinegar I make is surely sour." The meaning is that when you promise to help, you might not always be able to deliver, but if you intend to cause trouble, you certainly can.

Take Fang Yuanyuan, for example. If she wanted to apply for a teaching promotion, she’d have to meet two types of requirements. First, the hard conditions, such as a minimum number of years of service. Second, there were some soft conditions. Hard conditions generally couldn’t be changed, but soft conditions? Well, those waters ran deep.

"Thank you very much then, Director Wang!" Luofeng said politely.

"Not at all, Mr. Luo, you’re too kind!" Wang Hua replied.

Watching the two of them echo each other, Fang Yuanyuan was utterly enraged. She knew she was going to be blackballed. Her face turned deathly pale. But faced with Luofeng’s manipulative tactics, what could she possibly do?

「After they left,」

Qin Rubing looked positively joyous, obviously because of what had just transpired.

Seeing Qin Rubing so happy, Luofeng suddenly felt a twinge of sympathy for this ice queen. Just how many times had she been subjected to the manipulative tag-team attacks of that older and younger woman?

"Happy?" Luofeng asked, looking at the gleefully, almost foolishly happy Qin Rubing.

"Mhm!" Qin Rubing nodded vigorously.

"You silly girl!" Luofeng ruffled Qin Rubing’s hair.

La Prairie was positioned as a very high-end brand. This was the first time Luofeng realized cosmetics could be luxury items.

At the La Prairie counter, there were all sorts of essences, face creams, day creams, night creams, eye and lip creams, and so on. He couldn’t make head or tail of them. What were all these different categories for?

So, ten thousand Yuan a month? How naive.

But what about clothes? A bag can be used for many years, right? So, high-end luxury cosmetics? That’s like using up two entry-level LV bags in a month?

"Right, one set for you, one for Yunji, and one for my mom," Luofeng mused, then used another cashback card with a five hundred thousand Yuan limit. So, around one hundred and sixty thousand for three sets, a three-month supply. That totals nearly five hundred thousand? This time, it was a threefold cashback. Luofeng got these cosmetics for free and an additional one million Yuan in cash.

Qin Rubing shook her head.

Luofeng lowered his voice, leaning close to her ear. "If you’re not buying anything else, shall we head back?"

Qin Rubing’s face flushed instantly. She let out a soft "Mhm." If Luofeng hadn’t seen her nod, he wouldn’t even have known she’d responded, her voice was so quiet. Luckily, he heard it.

"Let’s go, let’s go home!" Luofeng took Qin Rubing’s hand, and they walked out of the mall.

From a distance, Fang Yuanyuan and Qin Ruo Wen silently watched Qin Rubing leave, laden with numerous La Prairie shopping bags. A quick glance suggested the purchases were worth at least several hundred thousand Yuan. Their expressions were as sour as if they had swallowed flies.

"Mom, isn’t Qin Rubing going too far? Let’s tell Dad when we get back!" Qin Ruo Wen said.

Fang Yuanyuan’s eyes flickered indecisively. "Yes, Qin Rubing really crossed the line this time. We’ll have Qin Haiyang teach her a good lesson!"

「Elsewhere.」

Luofeng and Qin Rubing returned to the apartment. He casually placed the cosmetics on the coffee table in the living room. Then, he and Qin Rubing went to the other apartment across the hall.

As soon as they entered, Qin Rubing whispered, "I’m a bit hungry. Can we eat something first?"

Luofeng naturally agreed. He had waited this long; what difference would a little more time for a meal make? Good food is worth the wait. Besides, how could one have energy without eating something first? AHEM. AHEM. AHEM.

"Rubing, wait a moment," Luofeng said. "I’ll instruct the butler service at Cloud View International to prepare a candlelight dinner for us!"

A hint of delightful surprise flashed across Qin Rubing’s face. If today could be a bit more romantic, that would certainly be even better. Doesn’t every girl dream of being a princess? To make love in such a romantic atmosphere with the one you love most?
