Ye Ming felt a bit awkward under Shi Wannian's gaze and couldn't help but lower her head. Although Shi Wannian was in his thirties, he was quite handsome, exuding the charm of a mature man. Being a local from Shanghai with an annual salary exceeding a million, he certainly had the confidence to back it up.
"Ye Ming, what do you think of Senior Shi?" Zhao Wenjing asked with a smile. She was aware of Ye Ming's family background but wanted to facilitate this connection for her boyfriend's future. Moreover, she believed that Ye Ming's illness would never fully heal; after all, how could a young person completely recover? This naturally lowered Ye Ming's standards for finding a partner.
"He's alright," Ye Ming replied politely, forcing herself to respond.
"Senior Shi graduated from the same university as Weiwu, so I call him senior. He’s now an executive at Remote Group. Ye Ming, Remote Group is a well-known company in Shanghai; you can see its headquarters from here," Zhao Wenjing said, pointing to a tall building across from the Bund.
"Senior Shi is really impressive," Ye Ming said with an awkward smile.
"It took me ten years to reach an annual salary of a million. To be honest, it's embarrassing for our school. Even with that salary, I could never afford a luxury apartment near the Bund in this lifetime," Shi Wannian sighed, appearing humble while subtly boasting.
"Senior Shi, the luxury apartments near the Bund are worth over a hundred million. I can't even imagine it! Anyway, Weiwu and I will never be able to afford it. But Senior Shi, with your capabilities, once your salary hits ten million, you’ll definitely be able to buy one of those apartments," Zhao Wenjing said with a laugh, her tone filled with flattery towards Shi Wannian.
Ye Ming frowned slightly. What has happened to Zhao Wenjing? Is this just how society is now? Indeed, in today's world, those who are successful become the center of attention and the objects of flattery.
In Zhao Wenjing and Sun Weiwu's circle, there was no doubt that Shi Wannian was the most successful among them. They were flattering him in hopes of gaining his favor in the future. In Zhao Wenjing's eyes, while Ye Ming came from a good family background, it only held influence in Gusu and did not extend to Shanghai.
Zhao Wenjing thought that introducing Shi Wannian to Ye Ming was helping her; if it were anyone else, she wouldn't bother making such introductions. Knowing about Ye Ming's illness, even if she were an angelic beauty, no man would dare approach her.
"By the way, Mingming, what hobbies do you have?" Shi Wannian asked when he noticed Ye Ming keeping her head down. He assumed she was shy, which only increased his fondness for her.
"I don’t have any particular hobbies; I just like staying at home," Ye Ming replied. Although she disliked being called "Mingming" by Shi Wannian, she felt it inappropriate to embarrass him publicly since he was her senior.
"Oh, that's normal; it's safer for girls to stay at home rather than go out," Shi Wannian said flatteringly.
"What hobbies do you have, Senior?" Ye Ming asked out of politeness.
"I enjoy road trips. Although I can't afford an apartment near the Bund, I do have quite a few cars. This year I'm planning another road trip; how about you join me? You can drive my Mercedes G-Class while I take my Land Cruiser—we can head to Tibet," Shi Wannian suggested with a smile, subtly showcasing his wealth again.
"Uh, sorry Senior, but I’m not really into road trips and I don’t have time. This year I plan to focus on my job," Ye Ming quickly replied. She felt no attraction towards Shi Wannian and even felt somewhat repulsed by the idea of going on a road trip with him.
