Gan Qi countered with a question:

"There's something I don't understand. If you have to work together... why do you have to find a girl? Wouldn't it be more efficient for men to work together?"

Zhang Xing choked, not immediately noticing the sarcasm in her words.

"Well..."

Gan Qi: "The virtuous wife and loving mother you just mentioned... does it mean someone who is beautiful, can earn money to support the family, does housework and nurses the children at home, and can also indulge her husband's extravagant lifestyle outside?"

This kind of pure, high-quality "tool" is something that men, let alone men, would love to marry. Even Gan Qi would want to marry such an excellent wife to serve him at home... Hehe.

Zhang Xing finally understood her sarcasm: "That's not what I meant. I just want to find an ordinary, traditional girl, really."

Zhang Xing used to be very picky, and he never liked any of the many blind dates he went on.

Now that his hairline is receding, he knows he has to seize the opportunity quickly. If he doesn't relax his requirements, the excellent girl will be snatched away by other men!

Gan Qi: "Then, I wish Mr. Zhang will find a suitable wife and mother soon!"

She was about to close the door when Zhang Xing stepped forward to block it.

"Hey, Ganqi, let's chat a bit more."

"Nothing to talk about."

Zhang Xing: "I mainly want to ask you about the gossip that happened today."

Gan Qi frowned; she knew what Zhang Xing was referring to.

I never expected such a grown man to read gossip.

Zhang Xing: "Something made the headlines today, didn't you see it? Breaking news, the richest man in China, Young Master Meng, actually has a wife! Although the trending topic was quickly removed, everyone knows about it now."

Gan Qi: "...I'm not interested in that."

Zhang Xing: "How could I not be interested? Let me tell you, his wife is an ordinary woman! She works in such-and-such building... I think it's near your studio."

"……Is it."

Gan Qi gave an awkward smile and didn't respond.

Zhang Xing said mysteriously, "You can keep an eye out for this later. If you can get on good terms with the young mistress of the Meng family, you'll be set for life!"

Gan Qi: "Thank you for reminding me."

Zhang Xing: "It's such a pity! I was thinking of buying a copy of the magazine because I heard it had a picture of the young mistress of the Meng family printed inside... but the shopkeeper said that all the magazines were bought back at a high price and now there isn't a single copy left on the market."

Gan Qi felt a slight sense of relief.

Zhang Xing kept clicking his tongue in amazement: "Wow! It's really hard to understand why such a rich man would secretly get married and marry an ordinary woman."

Seeing Gan Qi's calm expression, Zhang Xing smiled and said:

"I know women like rich men, but people's fates are really different! I really envy that young mistress of the Meng family. She's got mountains of gold and silver her whole life, and she can just relax and not have to work anymore."

Ganqi didn't like listening to this kind of rambling.

"Sorry, I need to rest now. See you later!"

As she spoke, she was about to close the door again.

Zhang Xing: "No, no, no, I have something else to say."

Before Gan Qi could refuse, Zhang Xing grinned shamelessly:

"Once our company is acquired by the Meng Group, I'll take you to see the Meng Group headquarters! Do you want to know what Young Master Meng looks like? I'll introduce you then."

Gan Qi chuckled.

Zhang Xing: "Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to treat you to dinner, just the two of us... I'll buy some extra meat, and we can have hot pot together in your little living room?"

Gan Qi replied coldly, "I'm busy, it's inconvenient."

Zhang Xing used his foot to block Gan Qi's door:

"Don't be so resistant. Since we're friends, it's nice to have a meal, drink tea, and chat together."

"Or, how about we go see a movie together?"

Gan Qi's patience has been pushed to its limit.

“Mr. Zhang! My husband and I are currently separated, not divorced! I am a married woman now, so please watch your words and actions! If you continue to harass me with these words, I will call the police.”

Zhang Xing: ...

Gan Qi has a really strong temper!

After a few cold words, the door in front of Zhang Xing was slammed shut.

Gan Qi stood behind the door, feeling like her forehead was on fire.

It's so annoying! This guy has no sense of boundaries, and to make matters worse, he lives across the hall...

I really don't know how long I have to endure this.

At this moment, Gan Qi looked down and saw a message from Tao Xixi on her phone:

"Gan Qi, be careful! That man across from us is full of ulterior motives, and he looks lewd. He doesn't seem like a good person!"

Gan Qi replied, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Soon, Tao Xixi sent another message: "Aren't you afraid that a man like that lives across the hall?"

Gan Qi: "Don't worry, my self-defense skills are more than enough to deal with him!"

Zhang Xing wasn't tall, nor was he physically strong; he looked frail and clearly hadn't exercised. He might not be as good as Gan Qi in a fight.

Zhang Xing returned to the apartment across the hall, feeling dejected. Sister Mei was preparing to cook.

Sister Mei came out of the kitchen and saw her cousin dawdling at the door for a long time before finally coming in. She asked in a low voice:

"How did it go? I overheard you chatting with Gan Qi at the door just now. You talked for ages. Did you find something to talk about?"

Zhang Xing: "She has quite a temper."

Sister Mei: "Women who can make money are all like this; they have strong personalities."

Zhang Xing: "We were fine when we ate together yesterday, so why is he so cold to me today? I don't understand."

Sister Mei: "You should wait until after the divorce before talking about it! Married women always have reservations."

As she spoke, she casually tied on an apron and took a magazine out of her bag and placed it on the table.

"Did you see today's big news? The young mistress of the Meng Group is actually an ordinary woman."
