Jiang Cheng slowly raised his head, and a meticulously made-up face came into view.
To be fair, the facial features and makeup skills were top-notch.
The foundation was applied evenly to the skin without a trace of caking, giving a natural and comfortable impression.
However, the downside was that the makeup was too heavy, making the entire face look somewhat unrealistic.
It was as if she were wearing a mask, making it difficult to sense her true aura.
Just as Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and stared at the woman, she quickly broke the silence.
She spoke softly, "Minister Jiang, you even drank the water I handed you during military training. Have you forgotten me so quickly? I'm Shen Mengjia."
Jiang Cheng's thoughts were instantly pulled back to the days of military training.
No wonder this 'mask' gave him a vague sense of familiarity.
But even with Shen Mengjia leaning so close now, Jiang Cheng's heart remained as calm as still water.
As the saying goes, when it comes to looks, the more you've seen, the more critical you become.
Only women with a beauty score of over 90 could pique his interest.
And Shen Mengjia clearly hadn't reached that standard.
With that thought, Jiang Cheng activated the Character Scanning System on Shen Mengjia.
"Character Scanning System activated. Retrieving target information."
The system operated rapidly, analyzing Shen Mengjia's various data points.
[Name: Shen Mengjia]
[Age: 19]
[Height: 165 cm]
[Beauty: 79]
[Physique: 80]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 88]
Full of curiosity, Jiang Cheng opened the scanning report.
Upon seeing the report, he was quite surprised.
The beauty score didn't differ much from his own estimation.
While all the scores were high, the privacy value was unexpected.
Shen Mengjia had always presented herself as proactive and gold-digging.
Jiang Cheng had assumed she would have at least some 'track record.'
He didn't expect a woman like her to have a track record of 0. This feeling was quite incredible.
But in reality, this was likely the privacy value of most normal girls.
Most people only start dating after entering university.
Shen Mengjia was actually very smart.
She didn't lack pursuers around her.
But she was waiting—waiting for someone she was satisfied with, someone who could give her the most.
She knew what she wanted and didn't want to just give herself away casually.
"Minister, what have you been busy with lately?" Shen Mengjia asked softly.
Jiang Cheng snapped back to reality. Instead of answering Shen Mengjia, he looked toward Wang Jian nearby.
Seeing Jiang Cheng look at him, Wang Jian immediately understood his meaning.
He stepped forward and said to Shen Mengjia, "Mengjia, you're so thoughtful. I've just taken office and there's much I don't understand. Brother Cheng has serious business to attend to. Since you're here, you can help arrange things together so we can share Brother Cheng's burdens."
Shen Mengjia hadn't expected to make any major progress with Jiang Cheng right away.
She just wanted to show her face in front of him so he would remember her.
Even though Jiang Cheng ignored her, she wasn't disappointed, and the expression on her face remained smiling as usual.
She silently told herself that there was plenty of time and she couldn't rush.
She knew rich men didn't lack women and certainly wouldn't stay with just one for long. Today was Huang Yiyi's turn, tomorrow might be someone else's, and it was not impossible that her turn would come later.
So as long as she could appear near Jiang Cheng, there was a chance.
Jiang Cheng spoke up, "I'll leave it to you two then. I have other matters to handle, so I'm leaving first."
After starting the car, Jiang Cheng asked, "What do you want to buy?"
Hearing this, Huang Yiyi's eyes darted around, and she replied with a giggle, "Originally I wanted to buy a bag, but the plan has changed. I want to buy black silk stockings."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Huang Yiyi, feeling a bit surprised, but he didn't show it.
"I haven't seen you wear black silk stockings before. I thought you liked the casual style."
Huang Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed, continuing, "Just as I suspected! Earlier, I saw you staring at the black silk stockings on her legs for several seconds. I knew you liked them."
Jiang Cheng smiled. "Have you ever heard the saying? black silk stockings are a woman's weapon; they can make a man's heart race or break a man's heart. It's not just me—any guy would like them."
"Really?? Then let's go buy them quickly. How about I wear them when we go out to dinner tonight?" As Jiang Cheng said this, Huang Yiyi's eyes sparked with anticipation.
"You're going to the gathering tonight too??"
Seeing Jiang Cheng ask that, Huang Yiyi nodded as if it were obvious. "Of course. Isn't Shen Mengjia going too? I'm going as well."
Jiang Cheng asked with some confusion, "Why do you seem to be at odds with her?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yiyi's lips curled up in annoyance.
"Didn't I say it in class before?? I'm going to pursue you. She kept giving you water during military training, and after that, whenever we ran into each other, her expression was so annoying. One thing led to another, and now we both can't stand the sight of each other."
Watching Huang Yiyi say this so bluntly, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
With her direct personality, people who liked her would really like her, and those who didn't would really dislike her.
After all, people like this can't keep secrets and can easily offend others sometimes.
"Wang Jian has been pursuing her, so you don't need to treat her as a love rival."
Huang Yiyi looked pleasantly surprised. "Does that mean you're not interested in her??"
Jiang Cheng didn't answer the question directly.
With women, you can't always give in to them; it's called reverse psychology.
Reverse psychology can also make a woman feel a greater desire to conquer.
That way, they will have an endless, tireless desire to pursue you.
Moreover, looking at Huang Yiyi, she seemed to be a bit of a wealthy young lady.
She was wearing a Clover tracksuit and carrying a small Gucci backpack.
It was clear her family background was quite good.
"What do you think?" Jiang Cheng countered. Huang Yiyi turned around and asked him with a giggle, "If you're not interested in her, then what do you think of me??"
Jiang Cheng looked at Huang Yiyi's pure face and glanced downward. "I don't like minors."
"What?? I'm an adult, okay? My birthday passed a long time ago."
"Oh, my standard for judging an adult isn't based on age."
As Jiang Cheng said this, Huang Yiyi caught his drift. Her face immediately turned crimson, and she snapped, "Look closely! Where exactly am I'small'?? What I'm wearing today just doesn't show off my figure, okay?"
