Free Web NovelChapter 237: Chapter 237: Xia Ningning’s First Date _1
After a moment of hesitation, Ye Ming still shared his thoughts.
"Business in Ningjiang City has just started, and we really need manpower at the moment. Plus, we’ve just taken over the entire wealth of the Zhang Family. I can’t possibly take all these assets back with me, so I need someone to manage them," he explained.
"I want to entrust these matters to you."
Upon hearing Ye Ming’s words, Xia Ningning was startled.
She hadn’t expected Ye Ming to place such great trust in Lin Bingqing. Setting aside the business of Spirit Spring Water in Ningjiang City, the assets of the Zhang Family alone were worth tens of billions, even reaching a hundred billion. Yet to Ye Ming, it seemed like a very troublesome matter, casually handed over to Lin Bingqing. If Lin Bingqing had any other motives, Ye Ming’s losses would be immeasurable.
Even though the two of them shared a teacher-student relationship, such absolute, one hundred percent trust was something Xia Ningning admitted she could not achieve.
Xia Ningning shook her head helplessly. Trusting others without reservation would sooner or later lead to problems. Have you forgotten about being cheated on by a girlfriend?
Ultimately, Xia Ningning still closed her mouth and didn’t voice these thoughts.
To Xia Ningning’s surprise, upon hearing Ye Ming’s proposal, Lin Bingqing’s face also showed a very troubled expression; it was apparent she really didn’t want to take over this mess.
"Master, I just want to go back to Yanjing with you. I’m not familiar with Ningjiang City, and I don’t like it here. I just want to follow you, Master!" Lin Bingqing said earnestly, with not a trace of hesitation in her eyes.
Xia Ningning, utterly baffled, asked, "Don’t you understand what Ye Ming is saying? These industries in Ningjiang City are worth hundreds of billions. If you take over, you’ll become the wealthiest woman in Ningjiang City overnight, your status utterly transformed. Why would you refuse?"
To Xia Ningning, this was utterly incomprehensible, but to Lin Bingqing, it didn’t seem like much at all.
She calmly said, "Miss Xia, perhaps you value money more, but to me, that money doesn’t mean much; it’s at most a string of numbers."
"As long as I have enough to live on, that’s fine. My master is the most important thing in my world."
"Before I met my master, I was just a nameless assassin roaming the jianghu, living every day on the knife-edge, in constant fear for my life."
"It was my master who led me onto the right path and gave me a completely new life. I’m already very contented, so I don’t care much about those external possessions. As long as I can be by my master’s side, I can do without those things."
Lin Bingqing’s words warmed Ye Ming’s heart.
Xia Ningning wanted to say something more, but she opened her mouth and then hesitated.
After listening to Lin Bingqing’s words, Ye Ming abandoned the idea and turned his gaze to Sun Miaomiao at his side.
"Miaomiao, why don’t you take care of this matter?" he suggested.
Ye Ming was truly speaking shockingly; he had just considered entrusting the hundred-billion assets to Lin Bingqing, as she was his disciple and worthy of his trust.
But Sun Miaomiao? They had only known each other for a few short months, and yet he was equally ready to trust her unconditionally, which Xia Ningning found unexpected.
The Zhang Family’s assets were being passed around like a hot potato; if Zhang Lijun knew about this, he would probably be angered to the point of spitting blood.
But Sun Miaomiao also hurriedly shook her head, saying to Ye Ming, "Brother Ming, please don’t joke with me. Before I came to you, I was just a salesperson; the only work experience I had was helping out in my father’s barbecue shop."
"Managing such a large affair for the Zhang Family, I’m sure I would mess it up."
Ye Ming gave a light smile and said, "Nobody can do this kind of thing well all at once, so you need to learn even harder. Just don’t betray me."
Sun Miaomiao hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Brother Ye Ming, how could I, I could never betray you."
Ye Ming nodded seriously and said, "Then you must remember what you said."
Sun Miaomiao quickly nodded. The next second, she suddenly realized she had fallen into a trap. Her heart was instantly flooded with mixed emotions, and her gaze towards Ye Ming became complicated.
Having explained everything, Ye Ming also began to make plans for his return home.
At night, Xia Ningning lay in bed, looking at Ye Ming on the sofa, her heart immediately filled with mixed feelings.
Tonight was their last night together in the same room.
She felt an unexplainable sense of reluctance.
Reflecting on the past days of their interaction, Xia Ningning had already grown used to the man sleeping beside her. Without him, would she suffer from insomnia?
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Xia Ningning got up and sat down next to Ye Ming.
"Ye Ming, we seem to have forgotten something very important!"
Ye Ming looked puzzled and asked, "What thing?"
Xia Ningning said very seriously, "We came to Ningjiang City to pretend to be a couple on vacation, but it seems like no one knows we were here."
"Moreover, since we’ve come to Ningjiang City, we haven’t really had fun yet. How about..."
A sudden idea struck Xia Ningning’s mind, and she hurriedly pulled Ye Ming to go outside.
Ye Ming looked at her bewilderedly and asked, "It’s so late, where are we going?"
"Just follow me, I’m not going to eat you up!" Xia Ningning said with a pout.
...
Using the cover of night, Xia Ningning and Ye Ming arrived at various attractions in Ningjiang City, starting to check-in and take photos.
The huge Ferris wheel, the bustling snack street, they both left their footprints.
Walking among the crowd, hand in hand, they kept taking pictures, looking just like a couple, and this attractive pair quickly drew many envious stares.
Not just taking photos, Xia Ningning also genuinely experienced the feeling of dating for the first time.
Although she had the identity of the Xia family’s heiress and was exceedingly wealthy, she had never wandered idly on the streets shoulder to shoulder with a man, or taken joint photos leisurely like this.
This experience brought Xia Ningning great happiness. At this moment, she seemed to forget her own identity, wholeheartedly immersing herself in the role, making herself believe she was Ye Ming’s girlfriend.
After a night of fun and when they could no longer walk, Xia Ningning decided to head back.
Lying in bed, Xia Ningning kept scrolling through her phone, looking at the photos taken that day, her face brimming with a happy smile. freewebnovel.cσ๓
