Inside the CEO’s office at Tianxing Group.
Ning Xingruo looked at Wei Tianci with a half-smile. “Where are the stockings I gave you at home last night?”
Wei Tianci stared at her in shock. “You still want them back?”
The two of them had slept in separate rooms at their parents’ house the previous night.
Before separating, Ning Xingruo had somehow impulsively taken off the black stockings from her legs and stuffed them into Wei Tianci’s hands.
After feeling the lingering warmth on the stockings, Wei Tianci felt it would be a waste not to make use of them, so he headed straight into the bathroom.
He had gone into the bathroom several times that night. In the end, he slept extremely well and even arrived late to the morning conference.
That was why he had ended up sitting in the last row of the venue earlier.
Beep beep beep…
A bank notification ringtone sounded. Wei Tianci had just received 1 billion yuan.
His heart filled with joy, and he immediately changed the topic by telling Ning Xingruo about the little incident involving Ye Fan’s hush money.
Ning Xingruo could not help laughing after hearing it and cooperatively let the black stockings topic go.
She then said enthusiastically, “Since we unexpectedly made another fortune today, shouldn’t we go somewhere for fun?”
“I want to go to a bar. I’ve never been to one in my life. Take me drinking and clubbing.”
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The conference plotline completion rate has reached 60%. Reward granted: All-Round Godly Singer attribute. Please receive it.]
[Ding! Ten-Thousand Song Library updated.]
The new reward stunned Wei Tianci for a moment, then his thoughts stirred.
He realized there was a small loophole in the system.
In the original novel’s conference plotline, Tianxing Group lost the formula, its business collapsed, Ye Fan became a shareholder of Ankang Group, and his relationship with An Muyue deepened.
But in today’s version of events, Tianxing Group remained completely unharmed. The only thing that stayed unchanged was that Ye Fan still became a shareholder of Ankang Group.
That meant the system valued whether the relationships between characters changed more than anything else. Other elements could be altered within a limited range.
In that case, he would have much more room to operate in the future.
Wei Tianci excitedly clenched his fists.
…
After night fell, Zhonghai, the international metropolis, officially entered nightlife mode.
Experienced handsome men and beautiful women from across the city all headed toward A1 Bar almost simultaneously.
Located in the bustling city center, A1 had been renovated from a massive old luxury mansion into a dazzling castle-like nightclub overflowing with extravagance.
Because of that, A1 was the top nightclub in Magic City and also the most expensive entertainment venue.
The people entering and leaving A1 were either beauties riding in luxury cars or owners of roaring supercars.
Nearby pedestrians and tourists usually only dared to watch from afar, whispering among themselves or taking photos of the incoming luxury vehicles.
But for Wei Tianci, the leader of the Four Young Masters of Zhonghai, coming to A1 was no different from returning home.
Driving his Lamborghini with Ning Xingruo beside him, he sped straight through the entrance of A1.
Damn, that was impressive.
They stopped in place curiously and secretly glanced at the owner inside.
Meanwhile, the security guards at the entrance instantly became excited.
That was Young Master Wei’s car.
They immediately lined up on both sides and smiled respectfully toward the Lamborghini.
After getting out of the car, Wei Tianci tossed the keys to one of the guards. “Watch the car carefully. Otherwise I’ll break your legs.”
Then he casually threw out a thick stack of cash worth at least 10,000 yuan.
“Take it and split it among the brothers.”
“Got it, Young Master Wei. Have fun tonight,” the young guard said excitedly while catching both the cash and keys.
The other security guards also smiled brightly.
Young Master Wei was still as generous as ever.
Some immediately moved to park the car, while others directed traffic. A few even specially escorted Wei Tianci into the club.
After all, they could not allow the noisy crowd to squeeze into Young Master Wei and his female companion.
Ning Xingruo looked at the radiant Wei Tianci with amusement and curiosity.
So this was how he acted when playing outside?
She then asked, “Tianci, didn’t you say the girls at bars usually dress similarly to me? Then why do all those flashy girls look far less conservative than I do?”
Before leaving earlier, Wei Tianci had forbidden her from wearing black silk stockings and a tight hip-hugging skirt.
He also forbade her from wearing the tight porcelain-pattern qipao.
In the end, he made her wear a trench coat over everything and claimed that this kind of outfit was completely normal at bars.
Hearing that, Wei Tianci kept a straight face. “In modern society, people have freedom in how they dress. Even if you wear a trench coat to a nightclub, nobody dares say anything.”
[If you dress too revealingly, I’ll feel uncomfortable. Why would I say that out loud?]
[What qualifications do these nightclub dogs even have to admire your beauty?]
A smile curved across Ning Xingruo’s lips.
“Oh my god, the stunning woman beside Wei Tianci is his fiancée Ning Xingruo, right? Wasn’t it rumored that he’s obsessed with An Muyue?”
“Well, since An Muyue won’t agree to him, he’s probably just enjoying his fiancée first.”
“He probably doesn’t even dare let An Muyue know how intimate he is with Ning Xingruo. They probably act super polite outside and don’t even dare hold hands.”
“Exactly. If An Muyue found out, she’d never agree to his pursuit.”
After hearing the discussions, Ning Xingruo revealed a thoughtful expression.
With a hesitant look on her face, she slowly reached out and wrapped her arm around Wei Tianci’s.
Even her elegant and dignified face showed traces of nervousness. She clearly cared deeply about how Tianci would react.
This was the first time she had acted this way in front of such a huge crowd.
Wei Tianci’s body trembled slightly as he turned to look at the woman beside him.
The capable and intelligent Ning Xingruo actually avoided his gaze slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.
Wei Tianci felt as though his heart had been pierced.
[Damn it, pursuing An Muyue is just acting anyway. Fine, I can pretend to be affectionate in front of her, but do I also have to maintain the simp persona behind her back?]
[Am I that dedicated to my role? Obviously not!]
Wei Tianci immediately stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Ning Xingruo’s slender waist, then proudly led her inside.
Ning Xingruo smiled like a blooming flower.
For the first time, she genuinely began looking forward to her future life with Tianci.
“Young Master Wei is awesome. He finally figured it out!”
The crowd of trendy young men and women immediately whistled and cheered toward Wei Tianci and Ning Xingruo. These nightlife regulars were extremely outgoing.
Every single one of them had overwhelming social confidence.
Inside a Ferrari nearby, the owner looked at the backs of Wei Tianci and Ning Xingruo entering the club with obvious displeasure.
“Who the hell is this guy? Why is he so arrogant?”
He was young, pale-faced, and looked completely drained from excessive indulgence.
His jealousy was obvious.
After all, he had also arrived in a Ferrari, yet the crowd barely spared him a glance.
But the moment this guy’s Lamborghini appeared, handsome men and beautiful women stopped to stare.
The security guards personally waited to park his car.
Even the woman beside him was an absolute top-tier beauty and was taking the initiative toward him.
Why?
The hot girl in the passenger seat immediately explained, “Young Master Ma, that’s Wei Tianci, one of the Four Young Masters of Zhonghai. He’s insanely rich and spends money like water.”
She wore denim short shorts and a tight T-shirt, showing off an impressive figure.
Young Master Ma snorted coldly. “Can he really be richer than me? My family business alone has a cash flow of 100 million yuan!”
The hot girl smiled seductively. “Young Master Ma is amazing.”
But deep in her eyes flashed a trace of disdain.
An outsider really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Young Master Ma immediately got out of the car. “Come on. Let’s go meet him!”
He strode straight toward the nightclub entrance.
If possible, stealing the woman beside that guy would be worth spending 1 million yuan.
The hot girl was startled and hurried after him.
