You won, and I admit my defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want me to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong couldn't help but flash a mischievous smile, \"We'll talk about it when we get upstairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he casually opened the car door and got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Mei glanced at Bai Shan, then got out of the car as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all headed into the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhang Jingdong had booked a suite here for Bai Shan and her friends, they skipped the front desk and went straight to the elevator area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the elevator came down and they got inside smoothly, Yuan Mei let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she seemed aloof, there were too many people in Jiangdu who knew her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, the most crucial part is, it's her first time coming to a hotel with a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Bai Shan and the others were around, if she ran into someone she knew, she wouldn't be able to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that they were in the elevator, and Zhang Jingdong wouldn't be leaving with her later, she felt completely safe for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong noticed her unease and couldn't help teasing, \"What, getting nervous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Mei instinctively shook her head, \"No... I'm not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong teased her nose, \"Relax, you're here to learn Opera singing with us. It's a serious matter of cultural heritage. No matter who you meet, you can tell them openly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still a bit uneasy inside, Yuan Mei nodded, \"...Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the elevator stopped at the 28th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"ding\" sound, the elevator doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exited the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one around, Yuan Mei felt completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her excitement, she even took Zhang Jingdong's hand, seemingly wanting to experience this little thrill she had never felt before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong chuckled and naturally put his arm around her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning a corner, they arrived at the door of room 2826.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Shan had just taken out the room card from her bag when the door of room 2825 next door suddenly opened, and two women stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong instinctively turned to look at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the women, elegantly dressed in a white women's business suit, suddenly exclaimed in shock upon seeing Yuan Mei, \"President Yuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially feeling anxious upon hearing the neighboring door open, Yuan Mei's heart tensed when she heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn't ignore it when the other party greeted her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had to turn and look at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she panicked completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she not only knew the person, but the other person was also a friend recommended by Yan Ning herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last week, they had dinner together with Yan Ning, and got along quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, she had told the other person she didn't have a boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was completely awkward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she have a boyfriend, but the boyfriend was Yan Ning's boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly adjusted her emotions and feigned calmness, \"Mr. Zhao, what a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Zhen quickly glanced at Zhang Jingdong and then said, \"I'm here to help a friend from out of town, and you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Zhao Zhen's expression was well-controlled, Yuan Mei sensed her strong curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are friends who are professional Opera singers; I'm an amateur myself. Today, they dined at my place, and I took the opportunity to learn a bit about Opera singing from them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... so that's how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she said it out loud, Zhao Zhen inwardly didn't believe a word of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she hadn't known Yuan Mei for long, firstly, Yuan Mei was very famous in Jiangdu, and she had long admired her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, through Yan Ning, she came to know more about this top-notch gourmet cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with recent close interactions with Yuan Mei, while she couldn't claim complete understanding, she was certain that if Yuan Mei hadn't confirmed a relationship with a man, she wouldn't come to a hotel with him, even with other women around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determined that Yuan Mei's relationship with this man was not ordinary, Zhao Zhen's curiosity about Zhang Jingdong grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for any other reason than him winning over Yuan Mei in less than a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced again at Zhang Jingdong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was discovering that not only did he have a youthful face, but his eyes also brimmed with confidence, assuring her that he wasn't just someone who knew how to sing Opera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being introduced to Yuan Mei by Yan Ning, and getting quite familiar with her, they had only known each other formally for less than half a month, so she couldn't just expose Yuan Mei's lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to play along, \"Alright, I won't delay you any longer. Let's arrange another time to meet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Zhao Zhen didn't pursue the matter further, Yuan Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay... See you another time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Zhen was now fully convinced there was something between Yuan Mei and Zhang Jingdong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Yuan Mei, because of him, was uncharacteristically guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Politely nodding to Zhang Jingdong and his group, Zhao Zhen took the opportunity to take a closer look at Zhang Jingdong's face, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Zhen and her friends walked away, Bai Shan hurriedly used the room card to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all pretended to be calm as they entered the room one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the door closed, Yuan Mei leaned against Zhang Jingdong's shoulder, her face showing a sense of lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-05T16:20:52.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","f1fac2ef175eb84745ecbe93bee3484b1a26f9100236978a5c4daa24565c5205","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-1317","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-1315",1411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-cover.jpg"]
