Chapter 29 Lycoris radiata
[Changed the ending progress by 1.4%]
You have gained two skill points.
After finishing the call with Jiang Huaimeng, the system's voice rang out again.
However, he was a bit confused this time. Hadn't he already changed the course of events after arresting Boss Du today?
Two skill points have already been given.
I had already told Jiang Huaimeng that I would call her tonight, so how did that change the outcome?
Never mind, this woman is really full of good stuff. Anyway, the more skill points the better. Right now, I can raise my energy to over ten and see if I can get any new advanced skills.
"Allocate points in the system panel! Raise the Energy stat to 10."
[Add points successfully]
Your current attributes are:
[Strength: 1]
【Energy: 10】
[Lying Trait: 1]
Available skill points: 2
Congratulations! Your stamina has reached a new level. Your basic skill has been upgraded to the advanced skill - Danger Detection. You have also further reduced the mental impact of others on you.
[The danger detection effect is: your energy has reached a level where you can sense danger anytime, anywhere, although sometimes you may not know what these potential dangers are. At the same time, ordinary drugs that affect your mental state will have no effect on the host.]
Sensing danger? See... Observation Haki!
Holy crap, there really are advanced skills? And how many are I at?
With only ten points of energy, if I had a hundred, would I be able to foresee the future briefly? Or perhaps change the past?
Losers eat dust!
Lin Zheng was excited about both of them, and he became increasingly curious about what the advanced skills of the other two attributes would be.
Should I dress more formally when we meet tomorrow? Maybe I can squeeze some more money out of the beautiful Jiang.
Thinking of this, Lin Zheng immediately got out of bed and started looking for a suit in the closet. Oh, and perfume too. He also needed to take care of his hair.
I'll go buy some more fresh flowers in the morning. The woman in the book said that her favorite flowers are roses and spider lilies, the latter being the so-called flower of the underworld.
Putting aside worldly prejudices against flowers, the two flowers actually have similar meanings; they are both flowers that express love. In that case, it's best to buy a little of both.
The following morning, at almost the same time.
Lin Zheng and Jiang Huaimeng got up at different locations, each tidying up their makeup and clothes.
Women hire private makeup artists to refine their makeup, while Lin Zheng goes to a high-end hair salon to have Tony give him a trendy hairstyle.
After a busy morning, it finally arrived around noon.
Lin Zheng bought a large bouquet of flowers and a small gift, and drove his sports car to the villa address sent by Shen hope.
Holding flowers, he rang the doorbell: "This is Lin Zheng, I'm here to see President Jiang."
A maid's voice came from the door: "Hello, Mr. Lin, the door is open for you. Mr. Jiang is waiting for you in the living room."
The iron gate opened automatically. The details of Jiang Huaimeng's villa have been described many times in the novel, so Lin Zheng was already prepared.
Even so, the extraordinary beauty of the scene before him still amazed him, and his eyes lit up.
At first glance, you'll see a charming cobblestone path leading to the courtyard, where various flowers and ornamental trees are planted.
The most distinctive feature is a fairly large lotus pond on the right, where goldfish and other species swim around at the bottom.
She has the air of a young lady from ancient times.
The decoration is really beautiful; it's no wonder that Boss Jiang, who yearns for romance, lives here.
He walked slowly toward the villa entrance, dressed in a suit. Two maids were already waiting there.
The two men nodded slightly to Lin Zheng and opened the door for him: "Good afternoon, Young Master Lin, please come in."
Good afternoon to you all.
As I stepped into the villa's living room, I saw two women sitting and standing on the sofa.
Although Lin Zheng had taken the initiative to contact the other party in the past few days, and even had close contact with Jiang Huaimeng that night.
But he had never actually seen this woman in person.
At this moment, Jiang Huaimeng sat elegantly on the sofa, drinking tea. She was wearing a blue-black dress, and her long, exquisite black hair fell down her back and onto her chest.
Her perfectly proportioned oval face looked as if it had stepped out of a painting, and her eyes, though seemingly cool, did not give off a chilling feeling, drawing people's attention to her unconsciously.
She also wore earrings today, tiny decorations that looked like stars.
It perfectly highlighted her stunningly beautiful face.
Good heavens... the difference between her and the photos is too big! I thought she looked beautiful enough in the media photos, but she's even more stunning in person.
With such looks, the book's author actually described her as "clearly possessing a stunning beauty, yet giving off a sense of mediocrity and powerlessness, no different from ordinary women, making it impossible for people to feel any wariness towards her, only seeing her as a pitiful woman who is mediocre in every way."
Where exactly do you find this sense of mediocrity and powerlessness?
This is practically celestial beauty! Is this what female-oriented fiction is all about? She's so beautiful she doesn't even seem human. No wonder she's the big boss the author designed.
"So beautiful." Lin Zheng seemed to utter the words unconsciously, his voice very soft.
But the tone of her lips, or the surprise in her eyes, made Jiang Huaimeng, who was sitting on the sofa, secretly delighted, and her face showed unconcealed happiness.
Lin Zheng walked forward holding the flowers, and while surprised, he also saw Shen hope standing next to Jiang Huaimeng.
Even Shen hope dressed up specially today.
That serious yet adorable face was much clearer than usual, and she was wearing a light blue dress. Perhaps it was because of the change in her eyebrows or makeup?
Or perhaps the blue dress really suits him perfectly.
Lin Zheng felt that Shen hope looked at least twice as good-looking as usual today, and if her face wasn't so stiff, she probably looked three times better.
Unfortunately, that's just that woman's style, and it can't be changed.
"Mr. Jiang, it's our first time meeting. I brought you some flowers and a gift."
Shen hope initially appeared indifferent upon seeing the large bunch, but was quite surprised when he noticed the presence of spider lilies mixed in. He was astonished that even President Jiang liked this kind of flower.
You should know that this kind of flower is not something that ordinary people would give as a gift. Most people think it has a bad meaning. Only those who truly understand President Jiang's preferences would dare to give him this kind of flower.
Jiang Huaimeng didn't immediately see what kind of flowers they were; she only noticed that the man was dressed in a sharp suit and holding a bouquet of flowers.
The moment she stepped through the door, she had a strange feeling that she was about to be proposed to.
A strange sense of tension arose in her heart, but fortunately, she consciously dispelled it quickly.
"Young Master Lin is here, thank you. You're more handsome than I imagined. But isn't your outfit a bit too formal today?" She glanced at the man. "This outfit is a little too exquisite. It's not like it's a party today."
Lin Zheng knew, of course, that his outfit today was over the top.
Even meeting women seems a bit vulgar, but do you think I don't know what you like?
The famous and beautiful Jiang Da loves the romantic and feminine style, and she has a whole repertoire of ways to achieve it.
"Really?" He pretended to be clueless, looking at his clothes. "I don't think it's fancy. I just felt that since this is my first meeting with President Jiang, it should be a grand occasion. After all, you hold a very special place in my heart."
"Am I special in your heart? How so?" she asked curiously.
Lin Zheng smiled and said, "That's not important. I picked these flowers especially for you. Do you like them?"
Jiang Huaimeng then noticed the red spider lilies among the flowers, and her joy grew even stronger. Knowing the answer already, she feigned surprise, asking, "Young Master Lin's flowers are rather special... How did you know I like this kind of flower?"
"I had to go through a lot of trouble to find out from other people, so I'm glad you like it."
"Ask someone else?" Jiang Huaimeng thought to herself that she had never told anyone about such a trivial matter except Shen hope. "Why don't you come up with a better excuse? But I won't call you out on this."
"Young Master Lin, you're too kind. Please have a seat. Xiao hope, pour Young Master Lin some tea."
