Tang Zheng looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a casual suit that accentuated his sturdy figure. He looked less childish and more mature. He looked exactly like a handsome guy. Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was the result of him being dragged to the mall by Liu Qingmei after school. For tonight's ball, Liu Qingmei wanted to dress him up.
Tang Zheng did not know that the ball would be so troublesome, but he could not change her mind so he could only let her do as she pleased.
Liu Qingmei's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. This brat's dress up really has some flavor. No wonder Fang Shishi and Ye Dingdang were fighting over him.
"Miss, your boyfriend is really handsome. This dress is especially suitable for him." The sales assistant praised.
"Boyfriend." Tang Zheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Qingmei strangely. He was afraid that she would get angry, but she did not comment: "It's really not bad. Then I'll take this."
Suddenly, Tang Zheng changed from inside out. Oh, other than his underwear, he changed into all his other clothes and shoes.
This was the first time Tang Zheng dressed up like this. In the past, he did not have that much money to dress up. He could not help but feel a bit of novelty and looked at himself in the mirror.
Hey, clothes make the man, Buddha makes the gold. This sentence was not wrong.
His current temperament was very different from that of a high school student. It was very difficult to associate him with a high school student. Especially when he wore this set of clothes, he would definitely be regarded as a successful young talent by others.
"Bill." Liu Qingmei took out her credit card and did not hesitate.
"Teacher Liu, this set of clothes is very expensive." Tang Zheng secretly glanced at the price tag and was secretly speechless. She did not even blink when it was a few thousand yuan worth of clothes.
Tang Zheng used to only wear clothes that were a few dozen or a hundred yuan. He had never worn such high quality clothes before. Even if he had a few hundred thousand yuan in savings, he did not think about spending money in this area.
Liu Qingmei coldly glanced at him: "I'm the one paying the bill, not you. What are you afraid of?"
Tang Zheng simply shut up and didn't say anything. He could only carry the clothes he had changed out of and return to the mini car.
"Be alert later. Don't give yourself away," Liu Qingmei instructed as she drove.
"What do you mean?"
"Today, you will pretend to be my boyfriend and accompany me to the ball. Later, those people won't be as simple as that salesperson. They are all shrewd people. If you don't pay attention, they will see through you." Liu Qingmei said.
"Pretend to be her boyfriend?" Tang Zheng was shocked. He never thought that he would be asked to be her fake boyfriend. Am I really that much like a firefighter?
Not only Ye Dingdang, but now even Liu Qingmei was involved. He felt the need to make things clear.
"Teacher Liu, I am only your student. Moreover, with such a big gap between us, no one would believe that I am your boyfriend."
She raised her eyebrows and glared at him: "Are you saying that I am very old so we don't match?"
To say that a woman was old was the same as seeking death. Tang Zheng understood this point so he hurriedly waved his hands: "That's not what I meant. Teacher Liu is very young and is about the same age as the girls in my class. What I meant was that I am only a student so I can't act as a boyfriend."
"Can't act? I don't think so. Aren't you like a fish in water between Fang Shishi and Ye Dingdang? Aren't you enjoying life on both sides? I think you have a lot of experience. "Liu Qingmei said sarcastically.
Tang Zheng embarrassedly said: "Teacher Liu, you can't wrongly accuse me."
"Heng, I don't care about your business. But tonight you must act well. Otherwise, you know the consequences." Liu Qingmei threatened.
Tang Zheng inwardly sighed as there was nothing he could do. Who told her to be a teacher? Who told her to have a handle on him? Then he could only continue on the path of being a fake boyfriend and walk further and further down it.
The car stopped in front of a five star hotel. After getting off, Liu Qingmei intimately held onto Tang Zheng's arm. Tang Zheng's body couldn't help but stiffen.
"Relax. Don't be so stiff. It's not like anyone will eat you." Liu Qingmei warned in a low voice.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath. Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came.
Tang Zheng adjusted very quickly and immediately got rid of the stiffness. He held his head high and puffed out his chest as he walked with her to the door.
"Qingmei, you came." A person walked out from the door with a kind tone. But when he saw this scene, his face immediately stiffened with disbelief.
This person was of course Song Donghua. When he first saw Tang Zheng spend the night at Liu Qingmei's house, he was furious and prepared to deal with Tang Zheng. But he had been so busy that he didn't have the time to deal with Tang Zheng.
Of course, he didn't give up on his attacks on Liu Qingmei. Instead, he became even fiercer. Liu Qingmei was annoyed beyond words, but he was like a dog skin plaster, causing her to be unable to do anything.
This dance party was also invited by him. Originally, she wanted to refuse, but after Ordinary Balance City's mayor personally came forward to invite her, she couldn't refuse.
This mayor was an old subordinate of Liu Qingmei's father and was someone she was familiar with. She couldn't refuse, but she also knew that Song Donghua would definitely pester her. Thus, she simply pulled Tang Zheng over to pretend to be her boyfriend and fend off this annoying fly.
Speaking of which, Liu Qingmei didn't have many friends in Ordinary Balance City, let alone friends of the opposite sex. Thus, only Tang Zheng was the most suitable candidate.
Liu Qingmei expressionlessly nodded her head and pulled Tang Zheng inside.
Song Donghua saw the two's intimate actions and was furious. But he didn't act out. Instead, he still had a faint smile on his face as he followed them: "Mayor Jiang is waiting for you over there. I'll bring you over."
"No need, we'll go by ourselves." Liu Qingmei refused and walked with Tang Zheng towards Ordinary Balance City's mayor, Jiang Yongda.
Jiang Yongda saw the two of them and walked over to greet them from afar: "Qingmei, I didn't even know that the old leader's daughter was in my district. “
His tone was familiar and it was clear that he was an old acquaintance.
Liu Qingmei was still cold as she said: "Uncle Jiang, you are busy with work and it is inconvenient for me to disturb you. Moreover, I like peace and quiet."
Towards her coldness, Jiang Yongda didn't mind as he knew that her temper was like this.
"Even if I am busy with work, I will still push off work to meet you. You don't know how much the old leader misses you." Jiang Yongda said with a smile.
Jiang Yongda was undoubtedly the center of attention as many pairs of eyes looked at him. Seeing that he was so passionate towards such a beautiful girl, they all started to guess Liu Qingmei's identity.
Even Tang Zheng received some attention, but he did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he looked at the ball with a bit of novelty. Each and every one of them was dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking like successful people. They held high wine glasses and gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other.
"This gentleman is?" Jiang Yongda's gaze fell on Tang Zheng's body and his face was filled with suspicion.
"My boyfriend, Tang Zheng." Liu Qingmei hugged Tang Zheng even tighter as he could clearly feel the soul-stirring elasticity of her chest.
Jiang Yongda's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment as he inadvertently glanced at Song Donghua. Song Donghua awkwardly lowered his head but as a government official, especially someone of Jiang Yongda's level, he naturally wouldn't easily reveal his true feelings. He passionately said: "Mr. Tang, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Jiang Yongda."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to extend his hand. He wasn't clear on Tang Zheng's background but since he was Liu Qingmei's boyfriend, he would naturally take the initiative to show his enthusiasm.
Tang Zheng didn't hesitate and lightly shook hands with him. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all and didn't bow and scrape like a normal person would when meeting an official.
What a joke, he was a cultivator so how could he bow and scrape to an official. Otherwise, he would definitely be despised to death by Tian Chanzi.
Liu Qingmei looked at Tang Zheng in astonishment as his temperament was completely different from that of a student. She thought that he would be exposed but she didn't think that he would perform so well.
Even Jiang Yongda was guessing at Tang Zheng's background and thought that he was some young master. Only Song Donghua knew of Tang Zheng's identity and couldn't help but secretly despise him: "Acting, let's see how you will act later. A toad will never be able to stand on the stage. "
"Uncle Jiang, you go ahead and do what you need to do. We will go over there." Liu Qingmei knew when to stop as she didn't want to be the center of attention and was deeply afraid that Tang Zheng would reveal a flaw.
Jiang Yongda smiled reservedly as he nodded and then gave Song Donghua a meaningful glance. Song Donghua understood and walked over to his side.
"Who is that Tang Zheng?" Jiang Yongda asked in a deep voice.
Song Donghua suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "He is her student."
"Student? Doesn't she teach high school? "
"Yes, that little brat is a high school student and is also an orphan who was raised by an old man who picked up junk."
Even the shrewd Jiang Yongda couldn't hide his surprise as he looked at Tang Zheng from afar and found it hard to connect him with the information that Song Donghua had said.
"That little brat only knows how to act and isn't any great person." Song Donghua continued to slander him.
Jiang Yongda looked at his secretary meaningfully and said, "Donghua, why are you so impatient in front of a high school student? What is Qingmei's status? How could she be together with a high school student? Maybe she is purposely testing you. "
Song Donghua was speechless as he couldn't say that he personally saw Tang Zheng spend the night at Liu Qingmei's house.
Jiang Yongda patted his shoulder and said, "Perform well tonight and let Qingmei have a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of you. I still think highly of you. Next time when I visit the old leader, I'll bring you with me."
Song Donghua felt a burst of excitement. That's right, if he couldn't handle Liu Qingmei then he could start from her family. As long as he could handle her father then wouldn't he be able to win her over?
Song Donghua seemed to have awoken from a dream as he shed tears of gratitude: "Thank you boss."
Tang Zheng and Liu Qingmei went to a corner where many people tried to strike up a conversation with her. It could be said that she was the prettiest girl in the entire ball but Liu Qingmei was like an iceberg and didn't care about her at all. This made these successful people feel helpless as they couldn't help but look at Tang Zheng a few more times. What kind of ability did this little brat have to be able to make such a beauty so dead set on him?
The gentle music disappeared as Jiang Yongda walked up to the stage and gave an impassioned speech. It turned out that this was a ball to attract investors and the people attending were all successful people from all walks of life.
Tang Zheng and Liu Qingmei didn't have the heart to pay attention to these loud speeches as they focused on tasting the red wine in their glasses. Liu Qingmei even warned Tang Zheng not to drink too much due to his young age.
After the speech, the music started again and the ball began. Many people pulled their partners onto the dance floor.
Song Donghua directly walked over and politely said: "Qingmei, may I have the honor of inviting you for the first dance?"
"No!" Liu Qingmei mercilessly refused and pulled Tang Zheng towards the dance floor.
Tang Zheng was shocked as he didn't know how to dance!
