Travel through movies and TV series to eat melons

With a greasy smile on his lips, Tan Zongming walked straight up to Lin Jiu without any politeness, then casually pulled out the chair opposite her and plopped down in it.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu maintained a polite smile, but her eyes appeared somewhat cold and distant.

She spoke with a forced smile, "Who are you? Sorry, I don't think I know you! And..."

However, at that moment, Tan Zongming, who was sitting opposite, suddenly straightened up and stared at Lin Jiu with hopeful eyes, seemingly eagerly anticipating some positive response from the other party.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The words that followed left him frozen in place, as if struck by lightning—

Lin Jiu frowned slightly and muttered in a slightly disdainful tone, "Oh my, uncle, you're so slick!"

It's worth noting that Tan Zongming, a playboy who usually thinks highly of himself, considers himself a master of romance, and claims to be able to dabble in countless women without ever getting attached, has never encountered such an embarrassing situation before.

For a moment, he felt incredibly frustrated, and his mood plummeted.

But when he looked at that stunningly beautiful face again, his frustration vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of determination to win.

However, considering what Lin Jiu had just said, Tan Zongming did not smile as slickly as before. Instead, he suppressed his smile, put on a rather helpless expression, and solemnly introduced himself to Lin Jiu: "Hello, Miss, my name is Tan Zongming. May I ask if I have the honor of knowing your name?"

If Tan Zongming didn't make that greasy expression, he would actually be considered a very charismatic and handsome middle-aged man.

At this moment, she had nothing to do and was in a state of leisure and boredom, so Lin Jiu did not show any aversion or resistance to someone taking the initiative to chat with her. On the contrary, she was even a little happy.

After all, Tan Zongming's face is indeed quite handsome.

She parted her lips slightly and said, "My name is Lin Jiu! Mr. Tan Zongming, the tycoon~"

Yes, when Lin Jiu heard the name Tan Zongming come out of the other person's mouth, she immediately realized who this person was—after all, this name had appeared in her older brother's words many times!

And the person praised by Brother Lin is none other than the now famous financial tycoon with a net worth of trillions of yuan!

For this reason, he is commonly referred to as "Big Crocodile Tan".

Tan Zongming was clearly taken aback by Lin Jiu's somewhat teasing response, but his faint smile quickly grew brighter, and he chuckled softly: "It is my greatest honor to have the attention and remembrance of such a beautiful and charming Miss Ajiu!"

Lin Jiu looked at Tan Zongming with a complicated expression: ... She hadn't expected this person to be so shameless.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that this man, who could command respect and dominate the business world, was certainly not the kind of person who was thin-skinned.

After all, in the cutthroat world of business, where intrigue and backstabbing are commonplace, it's practically a pipe dream to succeed without a thick skin.

Thinking about this, Lin Jiu felt much more at ease and decided to stop worrying about Tan Zongming calling her "A Jiu".

And what about Tan Zongming at this moment? When he saw that Lin Jiu did not show any obvious aversion or resistance, he mistakenly thought that this was a tacit agreement and permission given to him by the other party.

Then, an indescribable joy welled up in my heart—as if the whole world had become a better place!

Then I realized that I felt like a greenhorn who had just started out in school.
