We’ve been waiting for you forever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci smiled and explained, \"I ran into a bit of trouble on the way. Sorry about that—I’ll punish myself with three drinks in a bit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three drinks aren’t enough! It’s your birthday today, so we all have to drink until we drop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, someone noticed Zhang Jingdong standing next to her and immediately asked, \"Qingci, who’s this handsome guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci turned to look at Zhang Jingdong and then introduced, \"This is Mr. Zhang Jingdong. He’s a friend of Jieyu and just helped us a lot, so I invited him to join our party to properly thank him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Well, handsome, you and Jieyu... you guys aren’t just ordinary friends, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong truthfully said, \"He Jieyu and I are honestly just regular friends. I tried pursuing her before, but I later realized our personalities weren’t that compatible, so our relationship has always stayed at the ’friends’ level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said this, two guys in the crowd visibly breathed a sigh of relief, while several women’s eyes clearly lit up with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci was initially a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because just at the accident scene, observing the conversation between Zhang Jingdong and He Jieyu, she thought their relationship was definitely not ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, even though they might not currently be together, their relationship was at least more than friendship, yet not quite romantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never expected Zhang Jingdong to say something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, for some reason, she felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if, as he said, they weren’t compatible, maybe she could give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she just witnessed Zhang Jingdong’s capabilities firsthand, and he was exactly the type she admired in both looks and style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, a guy in the crowd, unable to stomach the admiration Zhang Jingdong was getting, asked, \"Boss Zhang, since Qingci said you’re a boss, what industry are you in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong sensed the provocation and casually replied, \"My business is quite scattered at the moment, hard to pin down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But one of my businesses you might have heard of: The One Bar. Any of you been there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhang Jingdong didn’t speak loudly, it immediately stirred the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew The One Bar was currently Jiangdu’s hottest spot, and the owner of such a successful venue had to be something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhang Jingdong, who looked no older than 25, was stunningly handsome, with an air that didn’t fit someone running a nightclub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha... What? You’re saying you own The One Bar? You must be joking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dude, even if you’re Jieyu’s friend, you don’t have to go that far with the bragging! From what I know, The One Bar’s owner is the only son of Jiangdu’s richest guy, Mr. Wang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong casually said, \"It’s simple. Do any of you know Liu Zongheng or Wang Tao? Just give them a call, and you’ll find out if I’m bluffing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another guy then said, \"Are you sure? Well, what a coincidence—I actually know Mr. Liu Zongheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, both Liu Zongheng and Wang Tao were Jiangdu’s top-tier heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them thought Zhang Jingdong was just bragging, and that he brought up these two untouchables knowing no one could verify his claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had encountered such people and stories before: fringe family members at gatherings, spouting nonsense to impress or scam investments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong smiled, \"Call him now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy, seeing Zhang Jingdong so unfazed, decided to take a chance and actually dialed Liu Zongheng’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon he was embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Liu Zongheng hung up on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly made an excuse, \"Mr. Liu is busy now. I’ll try calling him in a bit. I just can’t believe you own The One!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong decided to keep up the ruse, making it easier to impress the ladies—especially Lin Qingci—and piss off He Jieyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Check whether the number you have for Zongheng starts with 139 and ends with 6868.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy was briefly taken aback, then nodded, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong then took out his phone, found Liu Zongheng’s number, and showed it to him, \"Is this it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy glanced over and saw that Zhang Jingdong really did have Liu Zongheng’s contact, and was instantly astonished, \"...Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhang Jingdong dialed the number in front of everyone and put it on speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after just one ring, Liu Zongheng picked up, \"Hello, boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that one \"boss,\" everyone present was immediately convinced of Zhang Jingdong’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were suddenly filled with wonder and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling this, Zhang Jingdong continued naturally, \"Zongheng, my Bugatti Veyron crashed today. Help me contact Boss Xu in the next few days to get it fixed, and I want to pick up another car from him tomorrow. Does he have any Paganis right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably. I’ll contact him in a bit and let you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, it’s late now. Reach out tomorrow morning, and let’s go together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll call you then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, see you tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Zhang Jingdong hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this point, everyone was completely stunned by him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides being the owner of The One Bar, the kicker was that he had bought a Bugatti Veyron, crashed it, and was about to buy a new Pagani!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, by rough calculation, this guy’s net worth must be over a hundred million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the crowd were heirs of wealthy families. Still, despite their family wealth, the most some had in their own accounts was a few hundred thousand to a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to ordinary people, they were wealthy, but compared to Zhang Jingdong, they were nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong said, \"I didn’t prove this to show off but to sincerely make friends with everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, everyone no longer saw him as boastful but rather as very down-to-earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhang Jingdong became the center of attention, with the women who considered themselves quite eligible edging closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, He Jieyu finally arrived, fashionably late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already fuming over Zhang Jingdong’s earlier stunt, and seeing him surrounded by women only further inflamed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she also knew she had no reason or right to lash out directly at Zhang Jingdong, and even if she did, he wouldn’t fear her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she quickly thought it over and suddenly had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she marched forward and loudly said, \"Zhang Jingdong, what are you doing? I was just five minutes late, and you dare make a scene behind my back?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1116,"2026-06-05T16:20:35.677Z",1,"novelbin.me","29c50faed95eca9f78d4ad9e78101b064ae5030c0162234e194ed043f8148e86","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-665","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-663",1411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-cover.jpg"]
