The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Looking at Zhang Yuze in front of her, Xiao Yajie suddenly felt a little angry. This guy looked like a college student who hadn't even shed his baby fuzz. If you were to say he had some kind of solution, Xiao Yajie would absolutely find it hard to believe. In the current system, it's not that there are no geniuses, but generally speaking, even geniuses need to be 27 or 28, or even older, to achieve something. It's a process of accumulating experience. The saying 'A mouth without hair doesn't handle things well' isn't absolute, but it does explain some issues.

Xiao Yajie watched Zhang Yuzhe smilingly at her, his gaze carrying a hint of lasciviousness. She had seen this gaze on many wealthy second-generation heirs. It made her very uncomfortable. Xiao Yajie was already in her early thirties and still unmarried. However, she looked, at most, twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Being a top student with double bachelor's degrees from Harvard University, her standards were very high. In her opinion, frivolous young men like Zhang Yuzhe were the most disgusting. In an instant, Zhang Yuzhe's impression on her dropped to the lowest point.

If Zhang Yuzhe knew Xiao Yajie's evaluation of him, he would definitely shout injustice loudly. Because the way he looked at people was just a habit. Although Xiao Yajie was considered pretty, in Zhang Yuzhe's eyes, she was just okay. To say he liked her was far from the truth. Even admiration was a stretch.

Zhang Yuzhe currently had nearly thirty beauties around him. He couldn't even take care of them all. There were many who were prettier than Xiao Yajie, and even more youthful and lovely. Even in terms of mature charm, his sister Tao Ruolan was definitely much more flavorful. So, for Zhang Yuzhe to be interested in Xiao Yajie was truly a joke. Although Zhang Yuzhe could tell that Xiao Yajie looked down on him, he didn't take it to heart. He only cared about the opinions of the people he liked; he didn't care what others thought.

Seeing Zhang Yuzhe smiling at her in such a lewd manner, Xiao Yajie felt very angry. But she held back. She simply said to Jian Yumin, "Yumin, didn't you say you were going to find someone with connections within Tianze Company for us? Where is that person?"

Jian Yumin was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Yuzhe beside her, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Yajie looked at Jian Yumin turning her head back, knowing that the person Jian Yumin was referring to was Zhang Yuzhe. But no matter how she looked at him, she couldn't see anything outstanding about Zhang Yuzhe. If it were a normal place, it would be fine. But Tianze Company was a formidable company that sometimes didn't even give face to the Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee. Even senior officials from the city had repeatedly tried to find connections for some people through relationships, but they often returned empty-handed. Such a formidable company would be difficult to influence without some strong connections. Moreover, if you wanted to obtain the agency rights, ordinary people within Tianze Company would be absolutely useless. You would need at least someone at the level of Deputy General Manager or above to have the authority to make decisions. Therefore, Xiao Yajie held a skeptical attitude towards this young man who hadn't even shed his baby fuzz.

Of course, although Xiao Yajie was a returnee who graduated from Harvard University, she also understood the system in the country very well, knowing that in China, whether doing business or being an official, connections were very important. If you didn't have a strong network of relationships, you would often be unsuccessful. Doing business not only required a strong mind, but sometimes relationships and connections were even more important than that. Back then, Lai XX, the boss of the Xiamen Minhua Yuan Group, didn't even graduate from elementary school. But why was he able to succeed and develop Huayuan so greatly? Wasn't it because he had a network of relationships covering the entire Donghua Kingdom? Even in Xiamen, his words were often more effective than those of senior officials in the city. This was an extreme example of the role of a network of relationships.

It was just that Xiao Yajie still had some doubts about Zhang Yuzhe's identity. Could he be the son of General Manager Feng? But it seemed that General Manager Feng was divorced and didn't have a son.

Although countless thoughts flashed through her mind, Xiao Yajie remained calm on the surface and asked Zhang Yuzhe, "May I ask where Mr. works?"

Zhang Yuzhe could be considered an experienced person, so of course he could tell that Xiao Yajie was scrutinizing him. But he didn't expose it, just shook his head and smiled, "I wouldn't dare say 'works.' I'm just a junior at Xiamen University. I'm still unemployed. How can I talk about 'works?'"

"Student?" Xiao Yajie frowned, looking at Zhang Yuzhe in front of her.

Although Xiamen University could be considered a good school in the country, so what if it was Tsinghua University or Peking University? She, Xiao Yajie, had double bachelor's degrees from Harvard University. These diplomas were nothing in her eyes.

Xiao Yajie looked at Jian Yumin beside her and asked, "You said he had connections? What kind of connections could a student have? Yumin, if today wasn't Sunday, I would definitely complain to General Manager Ye about you." At this moment, Xiao Yajie felt somewhat ridiculed.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuzhe frowned, but didn't do anything, just sat there coldly.

Jian Yumin glanced at Zhang Yuzhe, seeing him unmoved, she quickly stood up. She said anxiously to Xiao Yajie, "Sister Xiao, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think."

Xiao Yajie had already formed a preconceived notion and was extremely angry with Jian Yumin. She couldn't listen to her words at all!

Hearing this, Jian Yumin's voice choked, and she didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

At this moment, Zhang Yuzhe's voice came faintly from the side, "Yumin, don't bother with her. If she wants to leave, let her go. It doesn't matter without her. I said I would help you take care of everything."

Seeing Zhang Yuzhe say this, Xiao Yajie thought he was pretending. She sneered in her heart.

Although Jian Yumin felt very depressed that Xiao Yajie had misunderstood her, she would not disobey Zhang Yuzhe's words. Although she was a little hesitant, she still sat down again.

Just as Xiao Yajie was about to leave, a woman suddenly walked out from the inner room. When Xiao Yajie saw that woman, her face immediately filled with a smile. She stepped forward and extended her hand to Tao Ruolan, saying, "Mayor Tao, I'm really happy to see you here."

Tao Ruolan had also met Xiao Yajie. Alice, as a major health product dealer in Hong Kong, had offices in the coastal areas of FJ and had dealt with her a few times. However, the two sides were not deeply involved, after all, Alice had no investment possibilities in Nanmin, and she didn't deal with her much. Therefore, Tao Ruolan didn't feel too enthusiastic about Xiao Yajie.

However, compared to Tao Ruolan, Xiao Yajie was extremely enthusiastic. After all, although Alice's company was very famous in Hong Kong, it was a large company with assets of over 100 million, but although it was also famous in the mainland, its influence was really too low. It was very normal for people to look down on her.

In a society with a focus on officialdom, doing business still required the support of the local government. Without the support of the local government, it would indeed be very difficult to do business.

Tao Ruolan followed a woman who looked about the same age as her, with a somewhat elegant and dignified appearance. The two were chatting and laughing, and their relationship seemed very close.

"Mayor Tao, what a coincidence, why don't you come and sit down! There's no time like the present, I've invited you so many times. Today is just the right opportunity!" Xiao Yajie said to Tao Ruolan with a smile.

Tao Ruolan smiled and said, "No, Manager Xiao, I still have guests here!" Tao Ruolan said faintly.

Hearing Tao Ruolan say this, Xiao Yajie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But she also knew that in the eyes of these mainland officials, businessmen were just tools for them to use. If you had no value to them, you couldn't expect them to give you a good look. Although her Alice company was very famous in Hong Kong, it was a large company with assets of over 100 million. But although it was also famous in the mainland, its influence was really too low. It was very normal for people to look down on her. But if she missed today, the opportunity for her to deal with this powerful woman in politics would be too rare.

However, Xiao Yajie had no choice. Her relationship with Tao Ruolan was really very ordinary, and they had only met a few times. If she said any more, it would only give the feeling of being too familiar. That would give people a very bad impression. Xiao Yajie also knew that if she really did that, it would be very unwise.

Just as Tao Ruolan nodded to Xiao Yajie, considering it a greeting and preparing to leave, a lazy voice came from the side, "Sister Tao, so you're here too? What a coincidence."

Tao Ruolan was originally preparing to leave, but hearing this voice made her feet feel as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move anymore. She turned her head blankly and found a young man who was incredibly familiar to her walking towards her. The corners of his mouth were hanging with that incredibly lazy smile. If this person wasn't Zhang Yuzhe, who else could it be? Jian Yumin was also following beside him, walking over together.

"Yuzhe, is that you...?" Tao Ruolan hadn't seen Zhang Yuzhe for some days, and she had been missing him incredibly in her heart. It was fake to say that she wasn't excited to see him now.
