Chapter 536 - 323: If I Lose, You Can Have Your Way With Me (2)

Looking back, it was a case of being too clever for their own good.

"Even without this incident, they probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer. This just accelerated their demise."

"True. I secretly went to take a look yesterday, and there weren’t many people inside. Plus, they gave their employees raises earlier. If they can’t find a way to grow their business, their burden will be even greater. They won’t be a threat to us anymore."

"Let’s just let them fend for themselves."

After getting dressed, Lin Jiang left, driving toward Qin Yangyang’s law firm.

RING RING RING—

While on the road, Lin Jiang’s phone rang. It was a call from Tang Wan.

"President Lin, are you busy?"

"Not at all. What’s up?"

"I’ve been practicing at home all afternoon, but I don’t feel like I’m making any progress. Do you have any good methods?"

"It’s hard to explain over the phone. Are you free tomorrow?"

"I am."

"Then let’s find a place tomorrow. I’ll teach you how to practice."

"President Lin, I don’t really go out these days except for necessary events. How about you come to my place tomorrow?"

"That works."

After hanging up, Lin Jiang drove to the law firm.

After waiting a short while, he saw Qin Yangyang, wearing a black overcoat, walk out of the law firm.

Carrying her bag and wearing high heels, she trotted all the way to the passenger seat.

"President Lin, you’re quite punctual."

"If I weren’t punctual, would I become a defendant?"

"Of course, that’s a possibility. Hmph," Qin Yangyang said haughtily.

"Let’s go. To Henglong Square."

"That’s not right of you. You’re practically family, and you won’t even go to Berkeley to support me. You’re being a little unreasonable."

"I don’t really care, but you’re the owner of Berkeley. If I buy something I shouldn’t and cause your employees to laugh at you, that has nothing to do with me."

Lin Jiang understood the meaning behind Qin Yangyang’s words.

"To Henglong Square it is. We must go to Henglong Square."

"Can’t wait, huh?"

Looking at Qin Yangyang, Lin Jiang smiled and retorted, "And you’re not eager, too?"

"Of course not."

"If you’re going to be like that, I’ll have to bring out my secret weapon."

"What secret weapon?"

"I’m not telling you."

Qin Yangyang rolled her eyes prettily. "You’re just bluffing. You don’t actually have anything."

"If I don’t show you the real deal, you’ll never learn."

Lin Jiang opened the center console, taking out the Beating Star that Tongzi had rewarded him with.

"It just arrived today."

Seeing the object in Lin Jiang’s hand, Qin Yangyang’s heart skipped a beat. She recognized it at a glance—it was one of those things he used to torment her.

’What’s going on?’

’Why am I looking forward to this?’

After showing it to Qin Yangyang, Lin Jiang placed it in the storage compartment of the driver’s side door.

"This little thing is much more interesting than the previous toys."

"Tch, it’s not interesting, and I’m not interested either."

"Not interested? Then we won’t play with it. I’m not that interested anyway."

Driving at a leisurely pace, they arrived at Henglong Square.

The two of them first had dinner, then started wandering around inside.

But as they were wandering, they ended up at Victoria’s Secret, and with a tacit understanding, both of them walked in.

After browsing a bit, she picked out a wine-red, lace thong. There was very little fabric in the back—you could even say it was just a string.

"This style should be okay, right?"

Qin Yangyang was very open about it, holding it up in front of Lin Jiang to ask for his opinion.

"Not bad," Lin Jiang said.

"Did you ask me to go shopping with you today just to buy this?"

"Of course not! We were just browsing, and we happened to wander in here," Qin Yangyang refused to admit.

"Fine, don’t tell me. I have my ways of making you admit it anyway."

"You villain!"

After looking around the store some more, Qin Yangyang picked out a few more similar pairs, all in very sexy styles, and even chose some garter stockings.

After buying the items and paying, the main purpose of their shopping trip was complete.

As they continued to wander, Lin Jiang passed by a music shop that sold electronic keyboards and guitars.

Lin Jiang stood at the entrance and thought for a moment. ’Tang Wan probably doesn’t know how to play an instrument. I could have her learn one. It would help her career in the entertainment industry.’

"What are you looking at? You want to buy an instrument?"

"I was thinking about it."

Qin Yangyang looked at Lin Jiang with great interest.

"You’re so busy you barely have time to eat. Where would you find the time to learn this?"

"Couldn’t I just know how to play already?"

"You think I’d believe that?"

"Qin Lu, you don’t seem to have much faith in me. You’ll regret it."

"It’d be a miracle if you knew how."

Qin Yangyang linked her arm with Lin Jiang’s, already getting a little impatient. "Come on, let’s go home."

"What if I do know how?"

"If you do, then I’ll be at your mercy tonight."

"I love making bets with you."

"But let’s get the unpleasantries out of the way first. If you don’t know how, then tonight you listen to me. What I say, goes."

"No problem."

Lin Jiang took the lead and walked into the music shop. Qin Yangyang followed close behind, but she still didn’t think much of it, guessing that Lin Jiang was probably buying it for someone else.

"Sir, ma’am, we specialize in Yamaha guitars. What price range are you looking for? I can give you a recommendation."

Even with Instrument Mastery, Lin Jiang only knew how to play; he was still an amateur when it came to choosing one.

But these days, you get what you pay for. Buying the most expensive one probably couldn’t be a mistake.

Glancing around, Lin Jiang saw a guitar that cost over 8,000 yuan, which was one of the more expensive ones in the store.

"Excuse me, could you bring that guitar over for me to have a look?"

"Of course."

The female sales associate took the guitar down and handed it to Lin Jiang.

"Sir, this guitar has already been tuned. You can give it a try."

Lin Jiang held the guitar and casually strummed a few notes. The pitch was accurate and the tone was full. As expected, expensive things had their reasons for being so.
