After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 359 The Tanuki Who's Willing to Give Everything for Her Friends
"I like good girls who would do anything for their friends."

Turning off his phone screen, Liang Can lifted his legs and placed them on his desk, thinking to himself: Li Li is so devoted and ready to go through fire and water for Qi Mingyue. If I reject her, can I still be considered human?

I was truly born.

However, they can't meet in the office anymore. No sooner had Qi Mingyue left than Lili followed, and in full view of everyone, it could easily have a negative impact on Chairman Liang Can.

The group of junior employees under him earns little, have a strong work ethic, and don't have many entertainment activities. They love to gossip about the boss.

Where should we go to meet Tanuki? We need to think about it carefully.

This head
Qi Mingyue walked out of the building where Qingning Technology was located, looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and felt extremely happy.

I fulfilled my father's request and protected the raccoon dog; it was a worthwhile trip.

"The only regret is that my first kiss wasn't given to my future boyfriend, but to Liang Can," Qi Mingyue murmured to herself, but she quickly came to terms with it.

"It's rare to have it all in this world; there are gains and losses. I shouldn't worry myself unnecessarily."

In a cheerful mood, even the sweltering heat and irritability of late summer couldn't dampen Qi Mingyue's spirits. She happily took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Qi Shuping.

Qi Mingyue: [Dad, I've already talked to Liang Can, and he's softened his stance somewhat. Perhaps your meeting tomorrow will lead to a breakthrough.]

Although Qi Mingyue detested the hypocrisy and deceit in the world of fame and fortune and in business, she had to admit that she had learned a lot from childhood to adulthood.

For example, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep.

Qi Shuping: [Really? How did you do that? Liang Can isn't someone you can easily talk to.]

How did you do it?
I kissed him
Qi Mingyue quickly did a rough calculation in her mind: if Liang Can, with all the advantages, didn't make an exorbitant demand of Qi Shuping...

"My first kiss is quite valuable," Qi Mingyue thought to herself.

But I definitely can't tell my dad the truth.

So Qi Mingyue replied: "Liang Can and I reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions, and he is still a reasonable person."

Qi Shuping, far away in the capital, was so surprised that he thought he was getting presbyopia.

Liang Can, can you be reasonable?

Well, in any case, the goal has been achieved, which is at least good news.

Qi Shuping: [Okay, thank you for your hard work this time. Dad will arrive in Hangzhou tomorrow at noon and will treat you to a meal then.]

Qi Mingyue: [Okay]

My father had no idea how much I had sacrificed for Liang Can's promise.

Qi Mingyue washed her nose, stood downstairs, and held her phone in both hands to send a message to Lili.

This is the most important thing.

Qi Mingyue: [Lili, I've already talked to Liang Can. He won't make things difficult for my dad, so you don't need to go and beg him for mercy, okay? Please don't.]

When Tanuki, who was putting on makeup at home, saw this message, her eyes widened immediately.

What do you mean we don't need to go to Liang Can to beg for mercy?
I even changed my underwear to new ones!

No wonder Brother Liang Can made so many excuses earlier; it turns out Mingyue had already gone to see him.

Thinking about this, Tanuki was very depressed.

I consider you a sister, yet you're stopping me from sacrificing myself—no, from making sacrifices—for friendship.

Thinking of this, Tanuki replied helplessly: 【Oh, okay】

Upon receiving the message, Qi Mingyue looked at her phone with a puzzled expression, sensing that Lili seemed quite disappointed.

No way, you must be imagining things.

But no matter what, Qi Mingyue felt that she had protected Lili.

at home
Tanuki, halfway through her makeup, sat in front of the dressing table, her two fair and tender little feet, with slightly red soles, resting on the chair, her cute toes curled up.

“Mingyue has already gone to see Brother Liang Can and got things done, so what reason do I have to meet with Brother Liang Can again?”

The distressed raccoon scratched its head.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Lili's strength is her academic ability and good grades, but she is not good at adapting to changing situations.

Having no other choice, Lili had to seek help from He Meiqi and briefly explained the situation.

He Meiqi on the other end of the phone was utterly speechless: "Are you stupid? Qi Mingyue said she resolved the matter. You can just pretend you don't know anything and go directly to Liang Can. Can't you even pretend you don't know?"

Yes!

How come I didn't think of that?

Suddenly enlightened, Lili was about to continue applying makeup when the doorbell rang.

"Here it comes, here it comes!" She thought it was her milk tea that had arrived.

Qi Mingyue opened the door and stood there, waving at Lili before asking curiously, "Why are you wearing makeup? Are you going out?"

Lili blinked, her mind racing, then she replied with a grin, "No, I saw a really nice makeup look online and was learning how to do it from the blogger. I was only halfway through when you showed up."

Qi Mingyue looked at Fan Lili and sincerely praised, "It's really well drawn, so beautiful."

"Right, Xixi, Mingyue, you have such a sweet tongue!"

Qi Mingyue is that kind of girl; if she's not interested in you, she won't even bother to say a word.

If she likes you, she'll want to praise you in every word she says.

As she entered the house, Qi Mingyue suddenly lost her mind for some reason. She was actually thinking: Will Liang Can think I have a sweet tongue?
Thinking of this, Qi Mingyue began to avoid looking at the raccoon dog.

She felt she had let her good friend down.

'There's no doubt that Lili likes Liang Can,' Qi Mingyue thought to herself.

Knowing this, I still kissed Liang Can, which is undoubtedly another form of betrayal.

Is life really so contradictory that one would betray a friend for the sake of another?
"I'm still not mature enough. My way of handling problems is inappropriate," Qi Mingyue thought to herself.

Lili pulled Qi Mingyue back to the bedroom, then went to the vanity mirror herself. While drawing her eyebrows, she asked curiously, "How did you manage to convince Brother Liang Can?"

Qi Mingyue sat on the edge of the bed and answered softly, "Actually, it's not so much about persuading him. The core conflict between him and my father is the management authority after the investment. If my father is willing to make concessions on this point, then things will be much easier to handle."

"The key is how they negotiate tomorrow; the decision still rests with Liang Can."

Lili looked at Qi Mingyue: "That doesn't mean the matter is resolved. Do you really not need me to go find Brother Liang Can?"

"Yes, this step is enough." Qi Mingyue nodded solemnly.

"Okay then~"

Lili shrugged, thinking to herself, "I don't care how far you've progressed, I'm going to help you push it even deeper."

Bright moon, I did all this for you.

But in doing so, I've also deceived Mingyue. She trusted me so much, yet I took advantage of her family's business difficulties to satisfy my own selfish desires.
Lili dared not look at Qi Mingyue anymore; she felt sorry for her good friend.

Qi Mingyue also lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, and dared not look at the raccoon.

The two girls, each with their own ulterior motives, fell into a brief silence.

"Lili."

In the end, Qi Mingyue spoke first, asking with a slightly puzzled tone, "Why do you have feelings for Liang Can? Is it because he's handsome, because he's achieved so much at such a young age, or something else?"

"There are many reasons."

Lili stopped drawing her eyebrows, looked up and thought for a moment, then said to Qi Mingyue, "There's something about Brother Liang Can that really touches people's hearts: when he thinks you're a good person, he'll treat you very, very well."

"Very good, very good?"

"Ok!"

"So it seems Liang Can must think I'm no good anymore," Qi Mingyue thought.

But it didn't matter, Qi Mingyue didn't care what Liang Can thought of her. "Okay, then you continue with your work, I'm going back to school first, I still have a group assignment to finish." Qi Mingyue got up to say goodbye.

"I'll send it to you!"

"No need, no need, you can do your makeup, you look great."

Qi Mingyue politely declined Lili's offer and, after leaving her house, took a taxi back to school.

In the back seat of the car, Qi Mingyue gazed out the window, lost in thought, her fingers unconsciously tracing the outline of her lips.

Even the most straightforward and proud girl will feel a pang of girlish melancholy when it comes to her cherished first kiss.
Ding dong ding dong~
The cell phone rings.

Qi Mingyue looked at the unfamiliar number and answered, "Hello?"

"Hello, are you Ms. Qi Mingyue?" The voice was a very gentle female voice.

Qi Mingyue replied, "Yes, who are you?"

"Hello Ms. Qi Mingyue, this is Nuannuan Dessert Shop. A Mr. Liang made some nougat here by hand and left your contact information. Please give me your address and I will deliver the nougat made by Mr. Liang to you."

Nougat?
Made by Liang Can himself.

This surprised Qi Mingyue greatly, and she instinctively wanted to refuse.

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Mingyue said, "Okay, add me on WeChat. It's this phone number. I'll send you the address."

"Okay!" The female boss on the other end of the phone smiled broadly. "Ms. Mingyue, Mr. Liang is really handsome. When he was making nougat, the other female customers kept staring at him. You are so lucky."

Qi Mingyue wanted to explain, but then felt it was pointless, so she hung up the phone.

"Liang Can actually made me nougat?" Qi Mingyue frowned slightly. What exactly was he trying to do?

This man's behavior is truly baffling.

Liang Can was carrying a box of nougat when she came out of the dessert shop.

This is for Tanuki.

In this regard, a dog of a man's main principle is to distribute his favor equally. As the old saying goes, it's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality. If there's nothing, then no one has anything; if there is something, then everyone has something together.

Liang Can has always treated girls this way.

Either you don't have me, or you have me all.

For meeting with Lili, Liang Can chose a very upscale private tea room.

This place is members-only and not open to the public. Each private room is staffed with five waitresses, all of whom wear cheongsams.

One person is in charge of brewing tea, another is in charge of relaying messages, and the other three play the zither, pipa, and xiao, and can also play designated pieces according to the guests' mood.

Before the arrival of the raccoon, Liang Can made a point of enjoying himself.

Whenever Liang Can comes to spend money in places that ordinary people have never even heard of, he can't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich."

Just as Liang Can was reclining on the soft couch, enjoying tea and music with great comfort, a waiter pushed open the door, knelt down on one knee, and reported to Liang Can at eye level: "Mr. Liang, your guest has arrived."

"okay."

Liang Can raised his hand, and the three beautiful women in cheongsams who were playing music immediately stopped and stood up.

"You can all leave now. I need to discuss some personal matters."

After saying that, Liang Can sat up from the soft couch and waited for the five cheongsam-clad beauties to leave before starting the tea-making process himself.

You'll get the hang of it after doing it a few times; it's an essential skill in business.

Not long after, the door opened, and Lili poked her little head in first. After seeing Liang Can, she squeezed her whole body through the crack in the door.

Today, Tanuki is dressed in a youthful and energetic outfit.

A white dress, a high ponytail, a fresh and clean look, and makeup that exudes a sunny vibe.

"Brother Liang Can, I'm here." Lili put down her bag, looked up and curiously examined her surroundings. "This place looks so high-class."

Liang Can pointed to the seat next to the soft couch: "Sit down."

Liang Can placed a cup of tea in front of Lili and said with a smile, "Today is the first time you've come to talk to me about serious business. I thought that since we're talking about serious business, we should come to a more formal occasion."

"Try it, this tea is good."

Lili nodded, picked up the small teacup with both hands, and took a sip.

Little girls generally don't drink much tea, and Lili was no exception, so after drinking one cup, she stopped moving.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you."

Liang Can took out the nougat and handed it to Lili, smiling as he said, "Didn't you make nougat for me last time? Today it's my turn to return the favor."

"Did you make this yourself?" Tanuki asked in surprise.

"of course."

Lili immediately beamed with joy; she could never hide her true emotions from Liang Can.

After unscrewing the lid of the transparent jar, picking up a piece of nougat and putting it in her mouth, Tanuki's eyes instantly narrowed into crescent moons.

"good to eat!"

After saying that, Lili immediately picked up another piece of nougat and held it to Liang Can's mouth: "Brother Liang Can, you should try some too."

"Okay." Liang Can put down his teacup, stretched his neck forward, and took a bite of the nougat that the raccoon had fed him.

When it was time to add the nougat, Liang Can's lips inevitably touched Li Li's fingers.

It's cool and refreshing, and smells like hand cream.

Feeling the warmth of her fingertips, a hint of shyness flashed across Lili's face. She quickly withdrew her hand and popped another piece of nougat into her mouth.

Liang Can looked at Lili with a grin on his face, thinking to himself, "Lili, I just kissed your best friend."

While eating candy and drinking tea, Liang Can looked at Lili and said, "You came to see me about Qi Mingyue's family matter, right?"

Lili nodded: "Yes, I want to help Mingyue and say a few good words for her family. Although I know it's useless, I should at least do my duty as a friend."

Liang Canming asked knowingly, "Didn't Qi Mingyue tell you that she had already come to see me?"

Lili looked up, her face blank: "Ah, no, Mingyue didn't tell me."

No?

Liang Can remained calm, thinking to himself, "How could there not be?"

After receiving the nougat from Liang Can, Qi Mingyue immediately sent a very polite and formulaic thank-you message. She also informed Liang Can that she had told Lili about her meeting with Liang Can.

But one thing is for sure: she definitely didn't mention giving away her first kiss.

"So that means these two best friends lied to each other."

Thinking about this, Liang Can suddenly found it very interesting.

He looked at Lili with deep eyes and nodded slightly, saying, "Is that so? Then she probably has her own plans."

"But the problem is..."

Liang Can took a sip of tea and said to Lili, "If you come to me, won't I have to make compromises again?"

"Ah!" Tanuki quickly said, "No, no, you mustn't make yourself suffer!"

"But you've already come to find me."

"I, I..." Lili panicked a little. If she could ease the tension between Liang Can and Qi Shuping, that would be the best outcome.

But I don't want my brother Liang Can to suffer even the slightest loss.

"Brother Liang Can," Lili said anxiously, "I just wanted to see you, that's all!"
