Professional Simp
Knowing that his best friend was present, He Jiong didn't confront her, but since Du Keke had invited him to meet, he hurriedly rushed to the Coffee shop in the Second Region.
Upon arrival, they found the two already preparing to pay and leave.
He Jiong then voluntarily paid the bill.
Seeing his solicitous manner, Du Keke's best friend secretly shook her head and sighed. She then spoke to He Jiong, He Jiong had just paid the bill and was walking back, saying, "Hello, Mr. He, my Xu Wa, and I'm Keke's good friend. She often mentions you. You are indeed very courteous. Thank you for the afternoon tea."
He Jiong, who had been carefully examining what kind of tea was worth over 300 Point, quickly smiled and waved his hand upon hearing this, saying, "No need to be polite. What are your plans next?"
Although I am a 300-story Tower Climber.
However, he spent most of his time on the lower floors of the tower, and his actual income was not at the level of a normal Tower Climber 300 floors.
In addition, they spend everything they earn, leaving them with absolutely no savings.
The more than 10,000 Point I earned from the last tower climb are now completely gone.
He was waiting for Wang Wen's notification but didn't dare to go into the tower.
Although Wang Wen said the Academy would provide room and board, they wouldn't actually pay for his girl-chasing expenses.
This week, some relatives of foundation executives came to see him.
Inquire about the rescue.
He Jiong was only going through the motions when climbing the tower, so he didn't know anything about unspoken rules or intelligence value. He just casually gave away invaluable information.
They told the other party without any concealment that as long as they found certain people, they could use their connections to get the person released.
Initially, relatives of the conglomerate would offer him money to help with introductions.
However He Jiong felt that he was not familiar enough with Wang Wen, and he could tell from Team Leader Mo's attitude that he had no confidence in being able to help, so he refused to help at all.
He has a very clear understanding of his own position.
He could be a freeloader, just loafing around and eating and drinking.
But they can't be scammers.
He welcomes anyone who wants to befriend him.
Eating, drinking, and having fun, and occasionally sleeping with a beautiful woman when things get heated, is perfectly acceptable.
If there is any clear transaction involved.
He would never agree to a request unless he was absolutely certain of success.
Even slackers have their own bottom lines and principles.
So lately, He Jiong has been borrowing money from his younger brother every time he goes out on a date.
As a result, several of his underlings have become unreachable.
People swallow their pride and follow the big boss from the 300th floor just for good food and drink, but instead of getting any money, they end up losing money too. Only a fool would do that!
Perhaps we should change the leader.
Block me! Block me!
He Jiong scrolled through his phone's contacts, wondering who else he could borrow money from.
He knew that whenever they went out on a date, Du Keke would definitely incur a large expense.
The little money I had left in my pocket wasn't enough at all.
Besides, I have a close friend with me today.
I estimate I'll need to borrow another two thousand!
He Jiong's finger stopped on the name "Huang Baobao".
I hesitated for a moment.
I didn't click it.
Even swindlers have principles when lending money: they must be able to repay it themselves and it must not involve any personal relationships.
If the other party is willing to lend it, I'll keep a record of it; if they're unwilling, it won't be awkward for anyone.
But if it's Huang Baobao...
They might lend you money due to other factors, even if they're unwilling, they won't say it out loud.
Even though 2,000 Point isn't much.
He Jiong and didn't want to damage relationships over borrowing money.
He ultimately crossed out Huang Baobao's name.
He messaged someone he thought might lend him money, "Hey bro, got some cash on hand? Can you lend me two thousand for a bit? I'll pay you back when I get back from the tower."
The other party replied quickly.
Zhang Wei: "Team Leader He, what are you saying? The money has already been transferred to your personal account. There's no need to mention whether you'll pay it back!"
He Jiong: "Thanks, buddy. It's all thanks to your introduction that I got to know Teacher Wang. How about we grab a meal next time I pay you back? It's on me."
Zhang Wei's reply this time was very bland, consisting of only the simple words "It's nothing".
Zhang Wei couldn't understand why he and Wang Wen, who knew each other first, were growing further apart, while the one who was freeloading on his meals was getting closer to him.
He couldn't understand it.
So I feel frustrated every time this comes up.
This is clearly a typical case of failed interpersonal communication.
He Jiong had no idea what the other person was thinking, and assumed they were busy with something.
I feel so grateful that someone would take the time out of their busy schedule to transfer money to me; they're such a kind person.
After silently remembering Zhang Wei's kindness, I didn't bother him again.
Having money in your pocket gives you peace of mind.
He looked reassuredly at Du Keke and the other woman who were huddled together talking.
Du Keke's best friend, Xu Wa, gently nudged her shoulder and said with a smile, "Forget it, I won't go. You two have fun."
Du Keke tried to persuade her a few times but failed, so she gave up.
As Xu Wa passed by He Jiong with her bag, she whispered, "The third wheel is gone. You have to keep going!"
He Jiong laughed heartily, watched her leave, then turned to Du Keke and asked, "Where are we going next? Want to see a movie? I know a newly opened cinema with a really big screen and comfortable seats!"
Du Keke shook her head and said, "I want to go to a bar."
"A bar?" He glanced at the bright sun outside He Jiong surprise. "In broad daylight?"
Of course, it's during the day! Drinking at night is too dangerous! I wouldn't let you, you little lapdog, get off easy!
Thinking this to herself, Du Keke glanced at He Jiong and changed her excuse, explaining, "My sister's bar just opened, I'm going to help them warm up the crowd."
"Of course, of course."
He Jiong squeezed his phone, mentally estimating that since it was to support his own people, it shouldn't cost much; two thousand should be enough, right?
Mi Lailai recently invested in a project.
It's a business started by the girlfriend of one of the team members.
Regarding this, I must say that the "girlfriend's" methods were truly impressive.
Despite being only eighteen or nineteen years old, she managed to become a member of the Universal Love volunteer team thanks to her youthful energy.
He's not particularly good-looking, and he wears huge glasses.
I really don't know what my teammates see in the other teammate.
Is it her figure?
How could Captain Milutinovic, with his famously unparalleled and perfect physique, not have raised the bar for his teammates?
What can an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl compare to herself?
With this in mind, Mi Lailai contacted the other party several times.
As a result, it "fell".
Not only did he stop being critical of the other party, but he was also inexplicably persuaded to invest a very small amount of money in the bar the other party owned, less than one percent of the money, which gave him nearly half of the shares.
The overall size is not very large.
But in the end, I still owed someone a favor.
So she made a point of setting aside time to go and show her face as a way of endorsing the little girl.
After all, the bar industry is prone to problems without powerful backers.
I don't understand why a delicate young woman would run such a complicated business.
Is it because she has a boyfriend from a top-tier team?
Regardless, the methods were indeed clever. Her boyfriend would definitely help, and she could use his connections to get the team leader involved in the investment.
This would connect almost the entire elite squad.
At least after each time the team leaves the tower, they're likely to stop here for a drink, a chat, and a short rest.
A bar with the top-notch team from the current Philanthropy Group is practically untouchable.
