Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Coaxing People_1

"I wondered why you wouldn’t let me come with you, turns out you were going to help someone out. You made such a face at first, and I thought you really didn’t care. But given she’s really pretty and pure-looking, totally not my type, how could any man resist? Even I, a woman, find her quite enticing, let alone you."

"Although you’ve seen many beauties, the youthful campus goddess type must be rare for you, right? Oh boy, I really got in your way there. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone. How could I have known this is what you were thinking? You’ve really hurt my feelings."

Kang Yue found her chance and went on a tirade, making fun in a very sarcastic way, leaving Shen Du feeling somewhat embarrassed. Scratching his head like a clueless young man in his twenties, he stammered, "That’s not true. Now that we’re being honest, I went there to give her a bank card."

"I told her to hang in there, especially after hearing her sad story. How heart-wrenching, right? She was about to get married, and then her boyfriend ditched her. Plus, her little brother got leukemia. Anyone would feel sorry for her. Now that I can, I want to help out."

"It could also mean she’ll contribute more to my enterprise in the future. She’s starting to feel grateful to me now, who’s to say she won’t help out more later on?"

Shen Dong hurried to explain, not wanting Kang Yue to overthink. Once she got started, she would keep on going and it would be impossible to clarify things later. Fortunately, there was still time to offer more explanations.

"Plus, I have a hunch this woman isn’t simple at all. She might even turn her fortunes around someday. That could only be beneficial for both of our careers, right? Helping others might just unlock their potential. Don’t you think so?

Oh, my dear Yueyue, don’t be mad or jealous anymore. Next time, I’ll definitely take you with me, I promise."

After saying this with a teasing smile, Shen Dong pinched Kang Yue’s cheek, thinking it would help her cool down faster. He kept teasing her, knowing she would probably forget all about it after a while.

Kang Yue wasn’t really angry anymore. After all, this was Shen Dong’s work. She should be understanding, and since he was willing to share everything with her, she decided to forgive him, albeit reluctantly.

However, maintaining her missy temper, she didn’t let it go easily and pouted, "Don’t touch my face. Look, you’ve messed up my makeup. You’re going to have to pay for it to be redone."

"So, have you forgiven me? Cheer up, how about I take you out for some late-night snacks later?" Shen Dong said.

"Seeing how quickly you try to slide out of this, would I be the bad one if I didn’t forgive you? Just look at you, revelling in your mischievous victory. I haven’t forgiven you that easily.

You’ll have to treat me to quite a few late-night snacks before I consider it. If you don’t do this kind of thing next time,

But if we go next time, you’re taking me along. I want to see just how generous you can be when giving to others."

Kang Yue continued along the lines of what Shen Dong had said, which was really quite reasonable. This was their usual playful banter. Shen Dong found her quite assertive, chuckling as he took Kang Yue’s hand to go eat something tasty.

This time they skipped the small eateries and went straight to a fancy restaurant, where the service and atmosphere were excellent. Kang Yue felt this was the place for her—this was the ambiance she loved. Her previous reluctance wasn’t about disdain; she just felt he wasn’t valuing her enough.

"Miss Kang, take a look and order whatever you like," Shen Dong said gentlemanly, handing her the menu. Kang Yue happily accepted and began marking the most expensive dishes before making a face at Shen Dong and giggling, "I want to eat the most expensive stuff now, to bleed you dry."

Hearing this, Shen Dong laughed. Other girls had said similar things before but always ended up ordering decently priced dishes cautiously.

But this was Kang Yue he was dealing with now, and she probably wouldn’t be as considerate. Sure enough, she marked all the priciest dishes. Fortunately, he wasn’t short on money, and it wasn’t a big deal to indulge in these dishes just once. With grandeur, he handed the menu to the waiter, who obliged and brought them the dishes.

The waiter’s eyes lit up at the order, not expecting these two to be so wealthy. The service immediately improved. In this day and age, money certainly made service better. Shen Dong noticed this but didn’t comment, simply letting the waiter attend to them.

The waiter came over repeatedly to refill their water, making it apparent he wanted to make his presence felt.

Kang Yue, who had been preoccupied with an unexpected surge of work and documents that dampened her appetite, didn’t pay attention to the waiter’s attentiveness. However, Shen Dong, being currently unoccupied, watched the dishes idly.

The waiter kept hovering near Shen Dong, which didn’t escape his notice. The motives of such women were all too easy to guess; seeing a man with money, they’d fawn all over him, hoping to catch his eye and be taken home—essentially hitting the jackpot.

Many people yearned for that chance, but it wasn’t easy to find the right mark, lest they end up with a poseur instead of a real rich man. Hence, they needed to scrutinize their targets carefully.

But this waiter had pegged Shen Dong as a wealthy lord from the moment he nonchalantly ordered those expensive dishes—dishes most people couldn’t afford even after a year of scrimping and saving. A man who didn’t even blink at the cost must be loaded.
