Li Man was putting up with it, but Wang Congcong happened to be away.
How could Chen Ting let her off that easily?
She didn't dare say anything in front of Wang Congcong.
But as Wang Congcong's current official girlfriend on the surface,
even if her daily income might not be as high as theirs,
in Chen Ting's mind, the profession of a model or celebrity was more glamorous than theirs.
Privately, she would naturally seize this opportunity to take them down a peg.
Chen Ting suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, Li Man, you and Peng Shiqi have a good relationship, don't you? I saw you two posing so close together for photos just now."
Li Man nodded: "It is quite good."
Chen Ting's tone was smiling, but her eyes were fixed on Li Man like searchlights.
"True, you're both Internet Celebrities, unlike me. I'm not really in the same circle as you."
Li Man sneered in her heart: "We're all just trying to make a living; it's the same everywhere."
"Is it the same?? Li Man, if you were to carry this bag, wouldn't it look very strange?"
Li Man had already prepared herself to be humiliated by Chen Ting.
But when she heard those words, her hand gripping the corner of her clothes suddenly tightened.
She knew Chen Ting was still nursing a grudge about Wang Congcong putting his arm around her shoulder earlier and was intentionally using these words to sting her.
She wanted to lash out but felt she couldn't bear the consequences.
"You must be joking, Miss Chen," Li Man suppressed her anger, "I'm just a worker; how would I dare carry such an expensive bag?"
Seeing the professional fake smile on Li Man's face, Peng Shiqi subconsciously pouted and said to Jiang Cheng, "Manman is so pitiful."
As soon as Peng Shiqi finished speaking, the System alerted with a "Ding!"
"Special mission issued: Host, please take Peng Shiqi to spend one million within an hour!"
"The final reward will be calculated based on Peng Shiqi's shopping experience."
Jiang Cheng had now learned to exploit the System's loopholes.
So, spending one million didn't specify that it had to be spent on Peng Shiqi, right?
As long as she participated and felt happy, it should be fine.
Otherwise, dragging her to spend a million right after meeting...
With her cautious nature, she would likely feel more panic than pleasure.
She would definitely feel like she was about to be subjected to unspoken rules.
Having not been out shopping for a long time, Jiang Cheng looked at the new bags in the store.
He replied casually, "So, you want to stand up for her?"
Jiang Cheng was no fool; he naturally saw that Chen Ting was doing it on purpose.
It was probably because she got jealous when Wang Congcong had his arm around Li Man earlier, so she was taking the opportunity to show off while Wang Congcong was buying things for her.
Sure enough, wherever there are women, there is war.
Hearing Jiang Cheng ask this, Peng Shiqi felt like she might have said the wrong thing.
Peng Shiqi gave a sheepish smile and made up an excuse: "Not really, it's just that it doesn't feel great to follow someone around and only be able to look without being able to buy."
"You mean you want to buy something?"
Peng Shiqi waved her hands; "No, don't misunderstand. Where would I get the money? Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to buy it. They're tens of thousands each, and I can't even show this kind of bag during my livestreams."
Just as she finished speaking, Chen Ting's voice drifted over.
Their previous conversation had been relatively normal.
But with the next sentence, Chen Ting clearly raised her voice intentionally so everyone in the store could hear.
"Oh? What you said is true. It's a good thing for a person to have self-awareness. Being around Congcong, your horizons should be higher than those of ordinary Internet Celebrities, right? Unfortunately, class isn't something everyone possesses."
Hearing this, Peng Shiqi could no longer hold back and walked over.
Seeing that she was about to go and argue with Chen Yating,
Jiang Cheng pulled her back.
"I have a way for you to slap her face hard. Do you want to try?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Peng Shiqi looked very surprised.
After all, Wang Congcong and Jiang Cheng were good friends.
And Chen Yating was Wang Congcong's girlfriend.
She had just been thinking that it was inappropriate to reveal her true feelings about Chen Ting in front of Jiang Cheng.
But Jiang Cheng's words were clearly intended to help her.
