Chapter 2754 Liang Zhengxian's Test!

Wang Yue felt that if there was any mutual attraction between the two, Wang Manni's current attraction level was at least 90%. He was very satisfied and didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Manni as they went to the restaurant together.

The dining area in the economy class cabins of the Neptune requires reservations for the windows on both sides, so two people can only sit in the middle. Because of the obstructed view, there is no way to enjoy the sea view on both sides.

For some reason, Wang Manni had a lot to say to Wang Yue today, so when the pasta and steak she ordered arrived, she said with some regret, "Mr. Wang, you don't know, the place where I work is a place where rich people buy luxury goods. I feel like I'm very close to those rich people."

But now, through this ship, I've also come to understand a principle: each level represents a different social class, and it's really difficult to cross over.

I used to think I was very close, but it was all an illusion. At best, I was just a servant of a rich man.

Wang Yue really wanted to tell Wang Manni that Huang Chao had said back then that it was much easier to conquer Chang'an than to pass the imperial examinations, and that this had always been the case.

However, this happened at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which is different from Wang Yue's character, so he could only explain it in a different way.
"Since ancient times, social classes have been fixed. Without the efforts of several generations or a chance encounter, it is really difficult to cross social classes."

So don't rush things. If you start working hard, you might one day reach a higher social class!

After listening, Wang Manni felt that it made a lot of sense. It was like how the protagonists in martial arts novels all had a miraculous encounter before they were able to turn their lives around.

When Wang Manni laughed at the end of her conversation with Wang Yue, she immediately understood that Wang Yue was saying that maybe they would still have a chance when they got old.

For some reason, she suddenly felt happy and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me about your experiences?"

"Okay, I'll tell you slowly!"

Wang Yue patiently explained to Wang Manni what had happened after he traveled back to the Three Kingdoms period, and also helped Wang Manni understand the course of events in the warlord campaign against Dong Zhuo.

However, Wang Yue didn't eat during the entire process. Not only were his manners impeccable, but his patience was also truly pleasing to the eye.

Excuse me, may I sit here?

Liang Zhengxian had actually been thinking about Wang Manni ever since their chance encounter, which is why he deliberately came downstairs and pretended to be very interested in the jade pendant.

In Liang Zhengxian's opinion, this material was really too good; it looked like a work of art.

Considering that Wang Manni came up from a regular cabin, he felt that the thing was worthless.

Liang Zhengxian only mentioned the jade pendant worth 200 million yuan to attract Wang Manni's attention and achieve his goal.

Liang Zhengxian never expected that after waiting for Wang Manni to come to him, he would find nothing.

Liang Zhengxian didn't believe that a woman living in an ordinary cabin could resist the temptation of millions; he probably thought it was because the temptation he offered wasn't enough.

However, this amount of money was nothing to him. He was prepared to pretend to buy the jade pendant if Wang Manni was too difficult to win over, and then have someone remind him that the jade pendant was fake. That way, he could move Wang Manni.

But now that Wang Manni isn't coming to see him, Liang Zhengxian, this playboy, feels for the first time that things are spiraling out of control.

After hesitating for a long time, Liang Zhengxian finally decided to go down to the lower cabins, just like the rich girl on the Titanic went to see her painter. Liang Zhengxian felt that if a girl didn't love money but loved romance, as long as he provided enough romance, he would definitely be able to win her over.

As a result, Liang Zhengxian endured the environment below the cabin and walked around the cabin. In several places with a view, he couldn't find Wang Manni at all.

Liang Zhengxian couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Could it be that this woman went back to rest?"

"That man is so handsome!"

"His period costume look is much more handsome than the young male leads in TV dramas!"

Should we ask for their contact information?

"Are you asking for it? He already has a girlfriend!"

Liang Zhengxian is a playboy; he's not interested in ordinary girls, but he'll always take a second look at a man who can provide him with competitive opportunities with women.

As a result, Liang Zhengxian followed the gazes of the women and was surprised to find that Wang Manni was sitting with a man dressed in ancient costume.

Generally speaking, men's image of period costumes is like the clothes of the Imperial Guards in "Brotherhood of Blades" or heavy armor, but girls don't like period costumes.

Girls like clothes that look like those of ancient scholars, but it's rare for a modern person to wear such clothes in a traditional style and still look masculine; at least, he looks out of place in this outfit.

However, Liang Zhengxian sensed that this was a formidable opponent just by looking at his profile, so he took the initiative to walk over.

When Wang Manni heard Liang Zhengxian's voice, she turned around and found that it was the same person who had reminded her that the jade pendant was very expensive.

Wang Manni was no longer a young girl in her early twenties. She immediately understood that this man was after her, or perhaps the jade pendant in her hand.

Although Wang Manni also appreciates romance, she is more inclined to believe in self-interest, so she shook her head and said, "Sir, we will not sell that jade pendant. If you are looking for a gift for the old man, you should try the auction house you mentioned."

Knowing he would be refused, Liang Zhengxian smiled and said, "Even if the deal falls through, we can still be friends. I would also like to get to know you two. Of course, if I could find out the origin of this dragon-patterned jade pendant, it would be even better if I could buy some other things from the same source."

Upon hearing this, Wang Manni looked at Wang Yue and said with a smile, "That jade pendant belongs to my friend. You can ask him directly."

Wang Yue could tell that this man was trying to steal his woman. He merely glanced at Liang Zhengxian and said distantly, "It's an ancestral tradition! I'm afraid this gentleman will be disappointed!"

Liang Zhengxian was just making an excuse, but seeing what Wang Yue said, he took the initiative to ask, "This jade pendant looks very valuable. So, this gentleman must come from a prominent family. May I ask where he comes from?"

Seeing that this person was taking advantage of the situation, Wang Yue calmly smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to call myself a member of a prominent family; I'm just a clerk from Kuaiji!"

Having lived in Hong Kong, Leung Ching-yin was exposed to English and foreign knowledge, so he didn't quite understand what Wang Yue meant by "clerk" and was momentarily confused.

However, as a playboy, Liang Zhengxian was very adaptable. He thought that since someone who collects antiques mentioned the word "case," it must mean that he was writing.
