Chapter 1095 Fair Love (22)
"What did you say?" Jiang Xubai felt confused after hearing Bai Nuo's words. "Going to work at the Qi family's gallery?"
"Yes!" Bai Nuo looked at himself in the mirror confidently, and even touched his hair in front of himself in the mirror. "After all, I graduated from Jingshi University, and I studied art design. I should be able to do the job for Qi Zhen."
When Jiang Xubai saw Bai Nuo like this, he felt for the first time that she was really naive.
They are no longer at the age of playing house. Jiang Xubai doesn't understand why Bai Nuo can still be the same as before. Her thinking pattern and cognition seem to be stuck in a few years ago.
Bai Nuo didn't hear Jiang Xubai's answer, so he turned around and said to him, "The clothes I brought back aren't suitable for work. Xubai, can you accompany me to buy clothes in the next two days? I want to be in the best condition to face the challenges ahead."
He said he was accompanying Jiang Xubai, but in fact he just wanted Jiang Xubai to pay for him.
Ever since moving into Jiang Xubai's house, Bai Nuo had to ask him to pay for anything she wanted to buy, even some women's daily necessities.
It was just a small amount of money at first, but gradually, Jiang Xubai would unconsciously compare Bai Nuo and Su Tang.
Su Tang is financially independent and has basically never asked Jiang Xubai for any material things.
When it comes to gifts, they reciprocate. After receiving a gift, they will give something of similar value in return. And when it comes to dates, they basically give and take, instead of letting Jiang Xubai bear all the expenses.
But Bai Nuo is just the opposite. She is like a dodder that is completely dependent on Jiang Xubai. She needs Jiang Xubai to give her everything and gets no substantial return.
Although this period of time was not long, Jiang Xubai already felt a little bored.
Bai Nuo was obviously not like this in high school. Why has time made her become completely unrecognizable?
There is a saying that goes, "Flowers are so dense that they dazzle the eyes, and only shallow grass can hide horse hooves."
Perhaps Bai Nuo used to be a tough and self-reliant person, but after enjoying the happiness of getting something for nothing, experiencing a materialistic youth, and seeing that she could get what she wanted by relying on others, her heart had long been in turmoil.
Now that she has come back to find Jiang Xubai, it cannot be said that it is not entirely due to emotional factors, but it may be more because she feels that as a successful man, he will give her a good life.
Even though this kind of life may not be as good as any young man she has "met" in Beijing, Bai Nuo's reputation has already been ruined in that circle, and Jiang Xubai is her best choice at the moment.
Facing Bai Nuo's expectant eyes, Jiang Xubai pinched his brows and said, "You should rest early today! Yang Xi and I are going out to talk about something, so you don't have to wait for me."
After saying that, he picked up the car keys that he had just put down and walked out the door.
Does he have a date with Yang Xi?
Of course not. The invitation calls were all made immediately. As soon as he got in the car, he started calling people.
Yang Xi was already unhappy about being turned down by Su Tang, and now when he heard that Jiang Xubai wanted to ask him out, he almost instantly came up with a plan - he could ask this guy how he managed to win over Su Tang.
As for why Qi Zhen agreed to this invitation, it was for the same purpose as Yang Xi, but he was not seeking information for himself, but for his brother Qi Yan.
Before leaving, Qi Zhen even took credit for it to his brother: "Brother, look how much I've sacrificed for you! I have to go out for a drink tonight, and you know, I was planning to rest."
Qi Yan glanced at the wall clock, which just happened to show 8:30 in the evening, and frowned. "How about you not go? I think I'm incredibly good at pursuing my wife. Even without you, I'll succeed."
"That won't do!" Qi Zhen immediately stated, "Brother, you may be very capable, but I can't miss out on the information I need to know."
Hehe! Gathering intelligence was secondary. The most important thing was that he had just heard that Jiang Xubai was not very happy.
In today's era of "If you have any unhappiness, tell me and I will be happy", there are not many people who are willing to share their thoughts with others.
Qi Zhen felt that he could still afford a glass of wine with a story to tell.
Looking at his brother's back as he left, Qi Yan picked up his mobile phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Qi Zhen, with a note: Listen carefully, and come back to tell me if anything happens.
Although he said that he didn't care, Qi Yan was unwilling to miss any opportunity to attack Jiang Xubai.
Qi Zhen felt particularly happy when he heard the sound of money being transferred into his phone.
This happy mood instantly rose several degrees when he saw Jiang Xubai sitting in the private room drinking with a depressed look on his face.
But after all, they were childhood friends. Qi Zhen walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Xu Bai, didn't you say that no one and nothing is indispensable? The old must go before the new can come? You are such a clear-headed person, you wouldn't drown your sorrows in alcohol, right?"
Jiang Xubai glanced at Qi Zhen, not understanding why he said that. However, he happened to have something to ask him, so he didn't respond. Instead, he said, "Qi Zhen, you've come at the right time. I need your help with something."
