Chapter 322: Chapter 207: Showing Off and Getting Shot Down, He Xinzhu’s Favorability Keeps Increasing_2

He had just been advising He Xinzhu to wait patiently and questioning the other party’s lack of seats, suspecting they wanted to cut in line. Yet, the other party promptly took action, effortlessly trampling all his words underfoot.

It was a blatant slap in the face!

What made him even more frustrated was that waiting in line to enter the store was initially a normal and mundane affair, but after the other party’s maneuver, everything changed...

He Xinzhu might think his financial strength wasn’t as robust as the other person’s, or she might view him as stingy, unwilling to spend this "excess money" for her, or she might think he’s inflexible and rigid...

Any of these would negatively impact his image in front of He Xinzhu.

He felt a tightness in his chest from anger, yet he couldn’t explode, so he could only stew in anger internally.

He Xinzhu snapped out of her surprise and quickly weighed the situation in her mind.

She glanced at Zhao Zhili who looked upset and then at Wu Wei, waiting with a smile.

A clear thought emerged: having a meal with Wu Wei might be a good choice.

Firstly, it could prevent the awkwardness of being alone with Zhao Zhili.

Secondly, Wu Wei’s presence might serve as a "buffer" or even a "shield" to better help her fend off any future entanglements from Zhao Zhili.

Earlier, when chatting online with him, she didn’t have a good impression and agreed to meet him only out of obligation.

They originally planned to meet this afternoon, but due to a last-minute classmate gathering, they rescheduled to the morning, meeting at a cafe.

After meeting, she found Zhao Zhili, the nephew of Aunt Zhao, even less likable.

The other party’s conversation always carried an unwitting superiority, and he liked to brag and boast.

Although it was clear he was quite satisfied with his appearance and condition, she was very put off by his condescending attitude and subtle disdain for her dance major.

So after finishing the coffee, she wanted to end this meeting.

However, the other party kept pestering her to have a meal together, and she reluctantly agreed out of respect for Aunt Zhao and her own nature of not liking to confront people directly.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Wu Wei here.

"Okay."

He Xinzhu gently nodded, then stepped towards Wu Wei.

Zhao Zhili had a dark face, clearly displeased.

But seeing that He Xinzhu had agreed, he said nothing and followed along.

At this point, a reasonably good four-person table happened to become available in the restaurant, and the waiter immediately led the three of them inside.

Sitting down, Zhao Zhili quickly seated himself next to He Xinzhu, attempting to assert some "authority".

He immediately cast his gaze towards Wu Wei sitting opposite, with a look of scrutiny and inquiry, asking, "Xinzhu, this is...?"

He intentionally left out the surname, making it seem intimate.

He Xinzhu slightly furrowed her brow upon hearing him call her "Xinzhu," a hint of displeasure flashed on her face.

She was just about to introduce, but Wu Wei had already stood up, reached out a hand across the table towards Zhao Zhili, wearing a polite smile: "Hello, I’m Wu Wei, met Teacher He on a flight before, considered to be friends."

Zhao Zhili’s eyes instinctively glanced at Wu Wei’s wrist when he extended his hand.

Upon noticing he wasn’t wearing a watch, a sense of superiority immediately rose in his heart.

He stood up too, reached out to shake Wu Wei’s hand.

During the handshake, he deliberately adjusted his wrist angle, letting the expensive Rolex Datejust on his wrist become clearly visible.

As if to say, my financial prowess doesn’t lose out to yours.

With obvious pride on his face, he said, "I’m Zhao Zhili, graduated from Wharton Business School with a DBA (Doctor of Business Administration), now an associate professor at the Qilu Normal University School of Business."

He specifically emphasized "Wharton Business School" and "DBA," and then paused, glancing at He Xinzhu, adding: "Currently, I am considered Xinzhu’s soon-to-be boyfriend."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhili bring up his "Wharton DBA" again, He Xinzhu’s brows furrowed even tighter, a look of blatant disgust appeared on her face.

Especially when he referred to himself as a "soon-to-be boyfriend," she immediately interrupted coldly: "Zhao Zhili, what nonsense are you talking?"

She then quickly turned to Wu Wei: "Don’t listen to his gibberish, he is someone my cousin introduced for a blind date, today is the first time we met."

Wu Wei observed Zhao Zhili’s flaunting of his watch and academic title, and his self-delusional demeanor, feeling it amusing.

This man was showing off a bit too crudely, trying to use his degree and profession to surpass me, hinting his economic strength with the watch.

Sadly, he seemed unaware of how disdainful the expression on He Xinzhu’s face was when he said those things.

Zhao Zhili appeared unfazed by He Xinzhu’s clarification, confidently looking at her and saying, "Though it’s not now, I believe it will be sooner or later!"

This remark was meant for both He Xinzhu and Wu Wei to hear.

He Xinzhu heard this, kept a cold expression, and couldn’t be bothered to say another word to him, turned to look at the menu instead.

Zhao Zhili sat down again, feeling rather good about himself, focusing his gaze back on Wu Wei, and asked: "I wonder where Mr. Wu graduated from? You seem very young."

Wu Wei chuckled internally: Here we go.

However, he wasn’t the least bit flustered, as academic qualifications are no longer crucial to him now.

However, since the other party was voluntarily walking into this situation, how could he miss the opportunity to improve He Xinzhu’s impression of him, it would be a waste not to leverage this "experience pack" offered up to him?
