Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?-Chapter 960 - 387: With Her in the Car by West Lake...

Zhang Jingdong said earnestly, "This Friday, that is the day after tomorrow, our group company will hold its first strategic development meeting. I would like to invite you to participate."

"What do you think, Ms. Guan, is that okay?"

Guan Le was slightly taken aback and hesitated, "But... this Friday I have to go on a business trip to Shanghai, so..."

"How about next week? Which day are you available next week?"

Guan Le suddenly understood Zhang Jingdong's 'sinister intentions' and pursed her lips, "This is a group meeting; you can't just change the date on a whim. Isn't that too careless?"

Zhang Jingdong said casually, "If being the boss doesn't even afford me this right, what's the point of being the boss?"

"There's an old saying in Yanjing that goes, 'You make the dumplings just for the vinegar.' I'm not going to hide it, I scheduled this group meeting just for you, the economic advisor."

"Of course, I'm not making this up. Actually, I've been planning to hold this group meeting for a long time now."

"In the past six months, I've opened several branches, but I never had the time to form a group company. Now that I've met you, an economic expert, I've decided to formally form the group company and integrate the resources of various branches, making the group's development more rapid and efficient."

At this point, Zhang Jingdong gazed intently at Guan Le, "Ms. Guan, are you willing to help me?"

Although Guan Le still felt Zhang Jingdong's reason was somewhat far-fetched, she also deeply sensed his sincerity.

So she hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded shyly yet pretended to be indifferent, "...Okay, I accept your invitation."

Seeing her agree, Zhang Jingdong leaned forward and kissed her pretty cheek, "I knew you would say yes!"

Guan Le quickly glanced around and, seeing no one, gave Zhang Jingdong a gentle sidelong glance.

"You're... you're too daring!"

"Furthermore, I'm... I'm just agreeing to attend your group company's meeting invitation, don't overthink it!"

Zhang Jingdong thought to himself, I'm just worried you won't come; as long as you do, it'll be out of your hands.

But he said aloud, "Of course, what do you think? I'm not the type to abuse power for personal gain. Business must remain pure, or how can it be done well with personal matters mixed in?"

"So when are you available next week? I can prepare in advance."

Guan Le quickly thought about it, then replied, "I'm available next Thursday and Friday, so you can check your schedule."

Zhang Jingdong promptly said, "Then let's do Thursday, the meeting can conveniently last two days."

Guan Le noticed the hint of a mischievous smile at the corner of Zhang Jingdong's mouth but felt a warm sensation in her heart nonetheless.

She quietly nodded, "...Mm."

The two chatted a bit more, and Guan Le suddenly remembered something, saying, "You... you'd better go back; Yanyan is still waiting for you... Safe travels tomorrow."

Zhang Jingdong remembered Ye Jinyan waiting outside, so he said, "Alright, let's have a good talk when you get to Jiangdu. I'll walk you downstairs."

Guan Le glanced at the faculty apartment, slowly nodding, "...Okay."

The two then continued walking inside.

Zhang Jingdong naturally took hold of Guan Le's slender hand.

Though a bit worried about being seen by students or colleagues, Guan Le ultimately didn't struggle at all.

Soon, they arrived downstairs at the faculty apartment.

Even though it was nearly midnight, many rooms upstairs still had their lights on.

Guan Le couldn't help but glance at the entrance, then said a bit shyly and urgently, "Alright, you should go back now... I'm here."

Zhang Jingdong tried, "Okay, but... since we'll be apart for several days... give me a kiss!"

Guan Le suspected he'd pull something like this and felt a bit flustered and annoyed, "Zhang Jingdong, stop messing around, you'll be seen!"

Seeing her really getting anxious, Zhang Jingdong nodded, "Alright, not teasing you, go on in!"

Although feeling a bit guilty towards Zhang Jingdong, Guan Le wasn't yet at the point where she could actively kiss him.

So she gave him the warmest gaze she could manage at the moment, "I'm... I'm going in... goodbye!"

She then gave Zhang Jingdong a deep look before turning towards the entrance.

Just as she was about to step up, Zhang Jingdong suddenly said, "Wait a second!"

Despite feeling a bit worried, Guan Le paused.

She turned back, "What is it?"

Zhang Jingdong quickly approached her, suddenly waved his right hand a few times in front of her, and pointed to her neck.

"This is our token of love. Although today is our first day meeting, since we've confirmed our feelings for each other, our love officially begins today!"

Guan Le dumbfoundedly looked down.

Then she surprisingly found a platinum diamond necklace around her neck.

Her face instantly filled with surprise, "This... how did you do this?"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, "Love has its own kind of magic, you know. It's because our love is true that I have this magic."

"So don't try to hide your love for me, because true love can't be hidden!"

Though his words sounded a bit fantastical, amid such a night and with his almost magical act, Guan Le's heart fluttered rapidly, and she soon confirmed her love for him.
