Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1272 490:

Lu Zhining didn't expect that even after she made her words so clear, not only did it fail to dissuade Zhang Jingdong's inappropriate thoughts, it instead sparked his determination to pursue her.Moreover, she didn't know how their conversation suddenly got to this point.

She paused for a moment, then steadied herself and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's continue the interview we were doing, okay?"

Zhang Jingdong felt the evasiveness in Lu Zhining's gaze and instantly felt a surge of delight, "Alright, who am I to argue when I've already become your reserve boyfriend? I'll listen to you!"

"Reserve boyfriend?" Lu Zhining was instantly a bit embarrassed and annoyed, "When did I agree to this?"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, "You don't need to agree to that."

"You're single, and I've made it clear I'm pursuing you, so naturally I'm your reserve boyfriend."

"Simply put, while I'm not officially your boyfriend, I can do anything a boyfriend should do for you."

"For instance, if you feel lonely shopping alone and lack a sense of security, you can just give me a call, and I'll instantly show up by your side, carry your bags, act as your bodyguard, and even, if you'd like, be your wallet."

"In short, from now on, you have unlimited rights to use me as you please. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. How about it? Isn't the offer tempting enough?"

Lu Zhining pursed her lips slightly, then replied, "Sorry, I don't need it."

Zhang Jingdong, thick-skinned as ever, said directly, "Whether you need it or not, I've already said it, so I will definitely carry it out seriously."

"You may not need it today or tomorrow, but someday, if you do, you absolutely have to let me know."

"Any time, any place, any difficulty, with just one phone call from you, I'll solve everything, and this promise will always stand!"

Though Lu Zhining still wouldn't agree, perhaps because Zhang Jingdong's gaze was firm enough at this moment, and the content of his words tempting enough, given his capabilities far exceeded those of ordinary people.

Lu Zhining hesitated for a full five seconds this time before she said, "Let's not talk about this, let's continue the interview we were doing."

Zhang Jingdong naturally caught that moment of hesitation in her gaze, his heart warmed, he nodded gladly, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"

Lu Zhining quickly adjusted her emotions and then said, "Let's talk about something else. What's your favorite movie?"

"Sunny Days."

"Why?"

"Many films simply tell us a story, but while Sunny Days does that too, it enables all men to find a piece of themselves in it."

"I didn't live in the era depicted in the film, but when I watch it, I feel that if I lived back then, I would probably live like the protagonist."

"Top-notch films capture certain human commonalities. For instance, The Legend of Sicily's Beauty, though it tells an Italian story, still resonates with me because, as a child, I saw a very beautiful woman in our town. I was deeply infatuated with her, even secretly followed her, peeking into her life, curious about the man she married."

"And Sunny Days captures two things adolescent boys most long to do: first, sneaking around and picking locks; second, meeting a beautiful and mature woman and seeing her in a state of disarray."

Saying this, Zhang Jingdong looked at Lu Zhining, "Are you thinking I'm a bad person again because of this?"

To his surprise, Lu Zhining shook her head this time, "Not at all, because most adolescent boys do indeed have those thoughts."

Zhang Jingdong remained composed, "You truly think it's normal?"

"Yes, the troubles of young Werther."

"Senior, you're finally starting to have the air of a writer. That's right, your thinking must be infinitely open so you can empathize with many people's thoughts and thereby write good works."

Lu Zhining pouted slightly, "Your sudden compliment makes me feel a bit uneasy. Do you have a 'but' coming up?"

"No 'but', however... Since you can accept our youthful Werther's troubles, you must have also watched Graduate, right? When we're guys in college, we imagine meeting a beautiful senior or teacher because it's the age we most desire... that."

Lu Zhining immediately gave Zhang Jingdong a glare, "I knew there was no good following your compliments, you're annoying!"

"Senior, you're too sensitive to praise! I just praised you, and your mind immediately went narrow!"

"It's not that I'm narrow-minded; it's you taking advantage of the situation to be unserious!"

Zhang Jingdong tried to hold back his laughter, "I'm not trying to be unserious, I just voiced my most honest thoughts."

"When writing about my college days in your novel, you can write about these things; it's the most true-to-life!"

When Zhang Jingdong continued to dwell on the topic, Lu Zhining tried to counter, "But you've already met two beautiful seniors and even got them both, and now you're saying this? Aren't you a bit insatiable?"

Zhang Jingdong confidently responded, "But they're completely different from you."
