Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Seeing Wang Shao Cong's dejected look, Qin Kai smiled and said to him, "Actually, you could consider pursuing the girl on the right."

"Who's that on the right? A girl who can chat so happily with Jiang Xueying must be someone special!"

"Of course, she is Secretary Li's daughter, Li Qiuxia. She is a rising young female cadre in the system with a promising future. If you can marry her, it will be helpful to your family's career."

"Secretary Li? Is that Secretary Li who works in Shanghai?"

"He used to be in Shanghai, but now he's been transferred to SD province as the top official. He has outstanding achievements and a distinguished reputation. I estimate he can be promoted further in the future. He's also an important backer of Li Xiaofeng."

Don't worry, Li Xiaofeng hasn't made a move on her yet. He's probably too afraid to do anything since he can't marry her. You can pursue her without worry.

Wang Shao Cong sighed and said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Let's talk about it another time. I'm still young and don't want to get into the grave of marriage so early. I'm thinking of having fun for a few more years!"

According to what you're saying, Li Qiuxia probably isn't someone easy to deal with. I'm free to do whatever I want now, why do I need someone to restrain me?

Besides, you've found out so much about their situation, why don't you go after them yourself? Why do you have to encourage me to be a moth drawn to a flame?

Qin Kai smiled slightly embarrassedly and said with a touch of emotion, "To be honest, I would like to pursue her, but the problem is that I was too young and impetuous before, which has ruined my reputation."

If I want to pursue Li Qiuxia, I'll definitely have to get past Secretary Li, and Secretary Li knows my background very well, so he probably won't agree.

In fact, even Secretary Li wouldn't agree to his daughter being with Li Xiaofeng, let alone me.

But you're different. Your parents have connections, especially your mother's family—they have a strong political background. Besides, you're still a relatively innocent young man, so at least Secretary Li won't be too opposed to you being with his daughter.

Qin Kai's words left Wang Shao Cong somewhat conflicted, seemingly unsure of what to do.

From a rational and long-term perspective, Li Qiuxia is definitely the best candidate to be a wife.

The problem is, he has only just begun to experience the joy of being a rich second-generation and has tasted the sweetness of being able to do whatever he wants. How could he bear to give it up now?

Just then, Jiang Xueying walked over to them with Li Qiuxia. After they reached the two of them, Jiang Xueying and Li Qiuxia sat down opposite them in a very natural and open manner.

"President Qin, it's been a long time! What have you been up to lately?" Jiang Xueying said with a smile.

Both families are in Shanghai's high society circles, both are in the real estate industry, and given Li Xiaofeng's connections, the two inevitably interact in public.

Now, under Li Xiaofeng's instruction, Jiang Xueying has started to engage in charity activities, and it's inevitable that she will have to raise funds from these people.

Qin Kai smiled and said, "I haven't been busy with anything. I'm planning to take a good rest for a while. Now that I'm not involved in real estate, I don't have to deal with those troublesome things all the time. It's so relaxing!"

"Miss Jiang, it's been a while since we last met, and you've become even more beautiful! How do you maintain your youthful appearance? Did Mr. Li perhaps create some special, secret formula skincare products for you?"

His tone was full of teasing, almost flirting with Jiang Xueying, mainly because Jiang Xueying was no longer a young girl and had entered the stage of a young married woman.

Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. When girls reach this stage, they have basically shed their girlish naiveté and become bolder and more outspoken in their speech and heart.

Sure enough, Jiang Xueying gently tossed her hair, looking completely unconcerned, and said frankly, "Yes, I used the special skincare products he made for me. Only the skincare products he gave me are worthy of me."

"A stinky man like you can only stand by and watch me drool. But you can only watch; if you want to lick the soles of my shoes, it depends on my mood."

In public social settings, beautiful women always have special privileges, especially since this beautiful woman had powerful backers. Therefore, Qin Kai was not at all angry or embarrassed by Jiang Xueying's direct rebuttal.

"Miss Jiang, you're really looking down on me! Why am I considered a stinky man, but Li Xiaofeng isn't?"

"He's a scoundrel too, but he's amazing. He started from nothing, and now his little finger is thicker than your waist. Aside from being a better scoundrel, what do you have that he can match?"

"You're blinded by love, I won't stoop to your level!"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and pay up. You know what I do for a living, and you still dare to flirt with me to my face. If you don't hand over a lot of money this time, I'm going to tell Xiaofeng on you!"

"Go ahead and sue me. I'll keep to myself and not interfere with him. What can he do to me? How much do you want this time?" Qin Kai said on the surface that he wasn't worried, but his actions revealed his true feelings.

The Li Group is currently at its zenith, especially in terms of its influence in the entertainment industry, which is gradually increasing. Meanwhile, Qin Kai has just been kicked out by Cui Zhongxian.

Previously, he relied on Li Xiaofeng's investment to dilute the shares of Puyu Group, which prevented Puyu Group from taking control. If he wants to make a comeback in the future, he will most likely need the help of Li's Group.

Therefore, he would never risk upsetting Li Xiaofeng over something trivial.

Jiang Xueying seemed to understand his mindset, and like a victor, she held up two fingers and said with a hint of pride, "Two million!"

"Oh, so much? Last time it was only one million. You can't fleece people like this!" Qin Kai's face showed some pain.

"Serves you right for being so rude. Xiaofeng is right over there. If you don't give it to me, I'll go tell him right now that you flirted with me!"

"My dear little aunt, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay? But don't try to take advantage of me alone. The man next to me is Wang Shao Cong, the only son of the chairman of Qianda Group."

His father is a big shot, ranking second on this year's rich list. He's much more famous than your Xiaofeng, and he also owns an investment company. It's said that his father gave him 500 million yuan in start-up capital.

As Qin Kai spoke, he subtly drew everyone's attention to Wang Shao Cong, looking as if he were saying "better you than me," almost as if he were about to hide away and eat some melon seeds.
