Chapter 369: Chapter 369

As the car drove out of the hotel, Li Jing glanced back and saw Huang Qin also getting into her private car to leave.

Having had this one-on-one exchange with Huang Qin, Li Jing realized she was indeed not simple.

At the dinner, although everyone seemed to chat happily and casually, they were there for Chen Wenwu, and none of them had any intention of befriending Li Jing.

After all, in their eyes, Li Jing was just here for tourism, based in Tianhai, and would leave once he’d had enough fun. Whether they would meet again was uncertain.

But after the earlier conversation, Huang Qin sensed that Li Jing seemed to have a good impression of her and wanted to get to know him more deeply, so she went with the flow and tried to offer Li Jing a gesture of goodwill to see if he would accept.

Li Jing accepted her goodwill and even promised to help her in Tianhai.

Although this kind of verbal promise is akin to a friend inviting for a meal next time, with no guarantee.

Nonetheless, it indicated Li Jing’s attitude, so Huang Qin’s tone towards Li Jing also gained a hint of playful flirtation beyond mutual respect.

This playful flirtation, to someone like Li Jing who has seen many women, could be sensed as a tactic rather than genuine affection.

After all, for a woman with high emotional intelligence, it’s nearly impossible to have too many thoughts about a man she has just met.

Moreover, this slight playful flirtation was also due to Li Jing’s own strength and his relationship with Chen Wenwu.

If it were an ordinary rich person, Huang Qin probably wouldn’t even bother with this bit of flirtation.

Arranged by Chen Wenwu, Zeng Chao took Li Jing around several famous scenic spots in the capital of Hai Province.

During the trip, Zeng Chao specifically hired a somewhat famous tour guide to accompany and explain everything to Li Jing.

This female tour guide was very professional, but plain-looking, relying on her professional abilities for her living.

Compared to Tianhai, Hai Province is a tourism province, attracting far more tourists from other places than Tianhai, so the scenic spots were more crowded.

Since it was December and the weather was cold, many families with some financial power opted to travel to the warm Hai Province.

Even in winter, the average temperature in Hai Province was around twenty degrees.

Li Jing had already packed away his winter clothes from Tianhai and switched to summer attire.

One cannot deny that escaping the cold in Hai Province during winter is indeed a good choice. Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱

After touring for a morning with the guide and Zeng Chao, Li Jing felt it was a bit rushed.

So he had a quick lunch and found a beach to sunbathe and rest on, planning to spend the afternoon by the sea.

Looking at Li Jing who had already changed into swim trunks, Zeng Chao glanced over his physique with amazement and admiration. "President Li, your physique is better than those of us who have been working out for years."

Li Jing glanced at him, also only wearing swim trunks, and smiled, "I own a gym in Tianhai, so I exercise regularly."

Hearing this, Zeng Chao suddenly understood, but his admiration for Li Jing did not diminish a bit.

Having worked as a driver and bodyguard for years, Zeng Chao had met many bosses. Few had good physiques, and even fewer were in good health, with many suffering from diseases of affluence like hypertension.

With a physique like Li Jing’s, even Zeng Chao was a bit envious, more convinced of Li Jing’s prowess, managing business while maintaining such good shape, an achievement not everyone could attain.

Later, Zeng Chao rented a good-quality lounge chair, a coffee table, and a parasol from a nearby owner.

Thus, Li Jing lay under the parasol, with his eyes half-closed, comfortably resting.

While Zeng Chao remained standing beside Li Jing, with his hands positioned at his belly, looking ready to receive orders at any moment.

Seeing this, Li Jing laughed, saying he didn’t need to be so formal and that Zeng Chao should also get a lounge chair to rest.

But Zeng Chao refused, and under Li Jing’s insistence, he only got a wicker chair to sit beside.

In his code of conduct, he was working while Li Jing was enjoying, so if he were to lie down on a chair like Li Jing, it would mean he was not doing his job properly.

Impressed by Zeng Chao’s professionalism, Li Jing nodded secretly. Compared to Ah Liang, Zeng Chao, evidently trained by the company, was more professional.

Especially in terms of service, Li Jing could say that Zeng Chao had almost reached perfection.

No wonder Chen Wenwu had Zeng Chao serve as his assistant; his professional skills were indeed commendable.

After Li Jing had rested for a while, Zeng Chao, worried he might be bored, brought a woman to give him a massage under the parasol.

As for getting a massage by the beach, Li Jing found it enjoyable, but he wasn’t sure whether it was because he couldn’t find a beautiful woman, or if Zeng Chao’s taste wasn’t great. Neither the tour guide nor the masseuse Zeng Chao had found was above a six on the scale.

"Xiaochao, do you have a girlfriend?"

Lying on the lounge chair enjoying the massage, Li Jing inquired of Zeng Chao beside him.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "No, I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was young, and my family was strict. Later, when I went out, I directly became a driver and bodyguard, spending almost all my time accompanying the boss, with no time to find a girlfriend."

Li Jing was a bit surprised, then asked, "Do you want to have a girlfriend?"

"There’s no rush; my parents are in poor health and need money. Although this job takes a lot of time, President Chen pays well. When I’ve saved enough, looking for a girlfriend won’t be late."

Zeng Chao laughed honestly, "Isn’t it said online these days: if a man doesn’t have money, he should focus on his career first, looking for a woman after he has money."

After hearing his words, Li Jing nodded, internally understanding the previous question’s answer.

It seemed that Zeng Chao really wasn’t good at judging women, which was why he had chosen that tour guide and masseuse for him.
