Only Huang Yao accepted her kindness and became her best friend.
Huang Yao's situation was exactly like Qiao Yinyin's; her path of growth was no better than Qiao Yinyin's.
Since childhood, she had heard quite a few rumors because of her large chest.
Those malicious words rushed toward her like a tide, making her almost unable to breathe.
It was precisely because of this that when Qiao Yinyin proactively extended the hand of friendship to her,
she accepted this kindness without hesitation and immediately became Qiao Yinyin's best friend.
And from then on, she never allowed anyone else to speak ill of Qiao Yinyin.
So, generally speaking, perhaps only beauties won't envy beauties??
Because in this regard, they both possess beauty, so there is no basis for jealousy to arise.
Qiao Yinyin smiled, leaned against Jiang Cheng's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, darling. I understand. I won't suffer from internal conflict anymore."
"When a person achieves success, the surroundings are not necessarily filled with praise and encouragement. On the contrary, more often than not, they may be filled with various doubts, jealousy, and even malicious attacks. And once failure is encountered, those negative emotions that were originally hidden will surge like a tide, with endless sarcasm and ridicule. Some people will even seize the opportunity to kick you while you're down, wishing to completely trample you into the abyss."
"Even if you are outstanding enough to become the focus of attention wherever you go, this doesn't mean you can avoid becoming gossip. Unless you are willing to actively share some of the benefits you possess with them, perhaps then you can exchange it for a few words of praise; otherwise..."
Hearing this, Huang Yao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and she looked at Jiang Cheng with astonishment.
She whispered, "Seeing how deeply you feel about this, it seems being rich isn't easy either..."
After speaking, Huang Yao subconsciously picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in front of Jiang Cheng.
Qiao Yinyin glanced at it, then also picked up a piece and placed it on Jiang Cheng's plate, comforting him, "That's right, darling, don't overthink things. We just need to be ourselves."
Seeing the two women comforting him in turn, Jiang Cheng was momentarily stunned.
However, he did not refuse this left-and-right flanking comfort.
Ten minutes later, Huang Yao said tactfully, "I'll head back first. I don't have classes today, so I can hide in the library, read, drink milk tea, and stir up trouble on the forum all at the same time. Just thinking about it feels comfortable."
Qiao Yinyin smiled and said, "Thanks! I won't take you today. If they ever make you angry, come find me over there."
"Got it, Big Shot! Goodbye, remember to call me next time we eat~~"
Watching Huang Yao's receding figure, Qiao Yinyin turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Cheng beside her. Her cherry lips parted as she asked with a hint of curiosity and probing, "Is Huang Yao very good-looking?"
Jiang Cheng did not deny it, but said seriously, "Quite good-looking, but purely judging by facial features, you look better."
After all, one has a beauty score of 94 points, and the other is 85 points.
If they weren't comparing weight in terms of flesh, Qiao Yinyin would definitely win outright.
Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Qiao Yinyin's lips curled up.
She didn't press Jiang Cheng further on who won in other areas.
After all, the point had been made; pressing further would seem tactless.
Qiao Yinyin said to Jiang Cheng, "No class at noon, should we go back?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. We just finished eating, let's go back and exercise a bit to digest..."
...Upon returning to Lijing Apartment, Qiao Yinyin glanced at Jiang Cheng, then walked straight into the bedroom bathroom without saying a word.
Jiang Cheng did not rush to follow her.
Because there are many reasons why a Girl might go to the restroom at this time.
Unless you know for sure she's going to shower, following her in at other times might sometimes lead to awkwardness... Jiang Cheng wasn't in a hurry. He sat on the sofa with his phone, looking at the messages sent by Chen Xueer and Zhao Linger.
[Maiwei Company investigated for tax evasion; key shareholders allegedly absconded abroad with funds.]
[Maiwei Company investigated, company sealed, operations ceased.]
[Maiwei Company suspected of laundering money for the Gu Clan, warned by the Market Supervision Bureau. Shareholders meeting rumored for restructuring...]
[Maiwei Company stock market chaos. Suspected of self-directed malicious money laundering and shorting its own stock. Key shareholders remain abroad, unreachable.]
...After reading the headlines, Jiang Cheng did not click to view the content.
Chen Xueer's short-selling operation this time was extremely cautious.
All accounts used were brand new accounts recently registered overseas.
This way, no matter how the investigation proceeds, the finger cannot be pointed at Xingchen Company.
Moreover, by sheer coincidence, Chen Tie unexpectedly became the scapegoat behind the scenes.
From the data sent by Chen Xueer, it could be seen that this short sale, under full leverage, only extracted 500 million in funds from Maiwei.
The foundation of this Maiwei Company is just mediocre.
After roughly understanding the situation, Jiang Cheng temporarily put down the information about Maiwei Company.
He instead opened the investigation report on laboratory data that Zhao Cheng had sent him.
The report showed that the testing agency had tested a total of ten vehicles.
These tested vehicles came from various models under the Conglomerate Group.
The focus of the inspection was on their respective environmental emission data.
Under the inspection of the testing agency's laboratory, the emission data of Dazong Automobile were all flawless and perfect; in fact, these figures were far below the prescribed values.
Just then, Qiao Yinyin walked out of the bathroom.
Her heavy sweater had been replaced by light, thin silk pajamas.
The pajamas gently clung to her graceful curves, adding a few points of alluring charm in their semi-transparency.
At this moment, her face was slightly flushed, looking as delicate and tempting as a ripe apple.
She took light steps, slowly walked to Jiang Cheng, and then shyly settled into his warm embrace.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but curve his lips into a mischievous smile.
His left hand naturally covered the softness.
He whispered softly, "Soft..."
This simple word instantly made Qiao Yinyin blush, the flush spreading rapidly all the way up to the crown of her head.
She couldn't help but let out a low moan, her body trembling slightly.
After moaning, she immediately glanced at Jiang Cheng's phone.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was looking at a data sheet, Qiao Yinyin relaxed and stared at it.
"What is this? Dazong Automobile? Is this an emission test?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Mhm, this is a comparison between the data from Dazong's laboratory tests and outdoor tests."
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng start discussing car-related topics, Qiao Yinyin, who was already feeling restless, suppressed her inner agitation.
Gently biting her luscious lips, she pointed a slender finger at the dense tables above, which were marked with various data, and asked with a confused expression.
"Why is there such a huge difference between these two nitrogen oxide emission data? That's strange. Isn't it the same car? Why are the emission figures different between the lab and the outdoors? Why is there a 40-fold difference once it starts running? Is it because of the power?"
