The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 149 Unique
Zhong Yun stood at Xia Siyin's door for several seconds. Her words just now really made him feel relieved, and the pressure in his heart was suddenly reduced a lot.

This also changed his impression of Xia Siyin.

In fact, she is not the kind of person who is always strong, she still has a gentle side.

He turned around, pressed the elevator button and went downstairs.

He wasn't making an excuse just now, he really had an appointment.

Before getting off work, he received a WeChat message from Tao Xingyao, saying that she wanted to treat him to dinner in the evening as a thank you.

Zhong Yun also wanted to take this opportunity to explain things to her clearly.

……

"Yaoyao, how did you deal with Manager Wang from Xia Mang Company? I heard that he is very difficult to deal with."

A young female colleague asked Tao Xingyao curiously, "Did you see how ugly Lao Cheng's face was just now? He just put the blame on you in front of the director, and you came right after, wanting to take the opportunity to scold you. Who knew that you settled the matter quietly and slapped Lao Cheng in the face in public..."

She was gesticulating with joy as she spoke, and it was such a relief to see the always-hated Old Cheng so embarrassed.

Tao Xingyao said, "I am also lucky."

She did not mention Zhong Yun's matter. She was a smart person and knew very well that if the company knew that she had such a relationship in Xia Mang Company, they would definitely use her connections in this area frequently in the future.

She didn't want her relationship with Zhong Yun to become that kind of relationship, as it would never last long.

"You are too modest. Even Old Cheng couldn't handle it, but he was willing to give you face. There must be some trick..."

Tao Xingyao saw the car coming and said, "My car has arrived. I'm leaving first."

The colleague teased, "Why didn't the man driving the Mercedes come to pick you up today?"

This is an online-hailing car.

"See you tomorrow."

After Tao Xingyao got in the car, she took out her cell phone, looked at it, and said, "Driver, please go a little faster."

I have to work overtime again tonight. There are less than ten minutes left before the appointment with Zhong Yun. I'm going to be late.

Ten minutes later, she ran into a barbecue restaurant and saw Zhong Yun waiting there. She ran over breathlessly and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

Zhong Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, I just arrived too, let's order some food."

He took out his mobile phone and was about to scan the code to place an order.

Tao Xingyao stretched out her hand, covered the QR code on the corner of the table, and said, "It's my treat, I'll order."

"Row."

Zhong Yun put away his phone.

"Which one do you like to eat? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

After ordering the dishes, Tao Xingyao poured two cups of tea, picked up one cup, and said, "Thanks to you today, otherwise, I really don't know what to do. I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you."

After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup.

Zhong Yun just smiled.

The two chatted casually. She did not ask him why he was a partner of Xia Mang Company. They just talked about some interesting things in college.

Soon, Zhong Yun discovered something strange. She seemed to deliberately avoid talking about Meng Jiaen. Every time he mentioned Meng Jiaen, she would quickly change the subject.

Logically speaking, Meng Jiaen is their mutual friend, so it is normal to talk about her.

Tao Xingyao is a little weird.

Soon, the waiter brought the food and the two chatted while eating.

"You said last time that you dropped out of college, so, you actually went to college, which school did you go to?"

Zhong Yun reported the name of his school.

"Wow, it's much better than the school I went to. Why did you drop out? That's such a shame."

"Something happened at home."

As he spoke, he suddenly turned around, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and waved to a girl outside.

Tao Xingyao followed his gaze and saw a girl in a white dress standing there. Her eyes lit up.

So beautiful!

She is stunning at first sight. Standing there quietly, she is the focus of everyone's attention. She doesn't need to wear makeup, her hair falls naturally, and her whole body exudes a pure and quiet temperament.

This was truly the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.

At this moment, when the girl outside saw Zhong Yun, her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, suddenly curved up and shone with a moving luster. That kind of joy seemed to be able to infect the people around her.

Tao Xingyao only then realized that Zhong Yun knew this dazzlingly beautiful girl?

Just as they were thinking about it, the girl had already entered the store and was walking towards them.

"Brother Ayun."

The girl called out, her tone filled with indescribable intimacy. It seemed that there was only the man in front of her in her bright eyes, with joy and shyness dancing in her eyes.

Tao Xingyao looked at this beautiful girl, then looked at Zhong Yun, and felt a sense of bitterness and deep frustration deep in her heart.

For a moment, he was stunned and did not react.

Zhong Yun said, "Let me introduce you. This is Ruan Xi who lives downstairs. This is my friend, Tao Xingyao."

Ruan Xi greeted politely, "Hello, sister."

"You came out alone?"

"Ah."

"Have you eaten yet?"

Ruan Xi shook her head a little embarrassedly. She was not pretending, she really felt embarrassed.

"Then let's eat together, Xingyao, okay?" "Of course."

Tao Xingyao forced a smile on her face.

……

After Ruan Xi came, Tao Xingyao suddenly became silent. She ate in silence, thinking about her own thoughts.

Zhong Yun and Ruan Xi didn't chat much, they just ate barbecue.

The meal was so awkward for all three of them.

Finally, everyone finished eating.

Zhong Yun stood up and said, "Shall I take you back?"

Tao Xingyao refused, "No thanks. Thank you for today, but I'd better take the bus back by myself."

"OK then."

Zhong Yun took Ruan Xi and left first.

Tao Xingyao looked at their backs as they left, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She knew she had no chance.

Meng Jiaen is richer and prettier than her, but she is still confident that she has a better figure than Meng Jiaen and a gentler personality.

A CEO, Xia, whether in appearance, temperament or figure, made her feel a huge pressure. Moreover, his status was unattainable.

She still had confidence. That Mr. Xia was too cold, too high-handed, and too intimidating. He was not as gentle and down-to-earth as she was. She gritted her teeth and had the confidence to fight for it.

Now there comes another girl who is so beautiful that makes people feel ashamed of themselves.

Tao Xingyao's heart was finally shaken. The women around Zhong Yun were more beautiful than each other, and they all seemed to have special feelings for him.

She is just an ordinary girl who just wants to fall in love with a man who is acceptable in all aspects, get married, and live out her life there.

She didn't have that much ambition, nor that much confidence, to compete with so many outstanding women.

Ruan Xi's appearance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing her to waver and start to retreat.

……

"Thank you for tonight."

It was not until he was out of Tao Xingyao's sight that Zhong Yun thanked Ruan Xi.

That's right, he called Ruan Xi here, and specifically told her to wear nice clothes, pretend to meet by chance, and act more intimate.

The effect is almost immediate.

Tao Xingyao seemed a little depressed when she saw Ruan Xi. Seeing her like this, she finally gave up.

Ruan Xi looked back and could no longer see anyone. She whispered, "That sister looks a little pitiful."

Zhong Yun explained, "She is a friend of my friend. I can't reject her directly, so I asked you for help. Let her give up. Otherwise, if it drags on, she will be hurt even more."

"What if she still refuses to give up?"

"Then I'll just have you pretend to be my girlfriend."

Ruan Xi lowered her head and suddenly stopped talking.

Zhong Yun smiled and said, "Why, you don't want to? This way, when you go to college and encounter this kind of thing, I can pretend to be your boyfriend and help you drive away those suitors."

As they were talking, the two of them came to the basement.

As I walked, there was no one around.

Zhong Yun suddenly felt a hand holding his hand, and heard Ruan Xi beside him whisper, "I'm not unwilling."

He looked at the somewhat shy Ruan Xi, holding that soft little hand, a warm feeling filled his chest, his feet felt light and there was a sense of unreality.

……

Tao Xingyao didn't know how she got home. She rummaged through her bag for a long time but couldn't find the key. Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the inside.

It was her roommate Gao Yali who opened the door and asked her, "Why don't you reply to the message? Your friend is here and is waiting for you inside."

friend?

Tao Xingyao looked inside and saw Meng Jiaen sitting inside. She nodded to show that she understood.

Gao Yali could sense the strange atmosphere between the two women and said, "Well, you guys chat, I'm going back to my room."

Wait until she leaves.

Meng Jiaen stood up suddenly and said, "Tao Xingyao, all this is my fault. I never realized how important he is to me. You can beat me or scold me, I will accept it. But I will never give him to you."

For some reason, Tao Xingyao suddenly felt like laughing after hearing her words, "Do you think he is yours?"

She thought of Mr. Xia whom she met this afternoon.

And the Ruan Xi from before, the smile on her face became more and more sarcastic, "Meng Jiaen, you are too arrogant. Why do you think he is yours? Does he like you? Do you know if there are other women around him?"

Meng Jiaen's face changed slightly, she bit her lip and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I introduced him to you, and then regretted it. This was my fault. I just came to apologize to you. I'm not here to quarrel with you."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

"Meng Jiaen!"

Tao Xingyao watched her leave, and a strong impulse surged in her heart. She called out to her, "What do you like about him? Women like you can find more handsome and outstanding men than him. Why do you choose him? He is so ordinary."

There are so many outstanding men in this world for them to choose from, why do they have to compete with her for a seemingly ordinary man like Zhong Yun?

why?
She really couldn't understand.

Meng Jiaen slowly opened the door and said, "No matter how outstanding other men are, they are worthless in my eyes. He may seem ordinary to you, but to me, he is unique and no one can compare to him."
