Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Multi-talented and Multi-billionaire Mr. Perfect

At the convenience store downstairs, Qi Sheng casually grabbed some water and ice cream.

When it came to buying ice cream, there was no need to hesitate.

He just followed a simple principle: if there’s Häagen-Dazs, get Häagen-Dazs; if not, buy Magnum.

’Is a one-yuan old-fashioned popsicle something a person of my current status should be eating?’

Although Qi Sheng had only recently become rich, he felt his lifestyle choices had to keep up.

Qi Sheng went upstairs carrying a bag of Magnums and a case of mineral water.

When the girls saw the ice cream bars, they were naturally tempted yet fearful.

"Go ahead and eat. Worst case, you can just eat a little less for dinner."

Qi Sheng said without a second thought, tearing open a Magnum for himself.

Truffle chocolate flavor. It was actually pretty good.

The price, though, was a little unfriendly.

A box of four was 60 yuan, making each one 15 yuan.

Qi Sheng didn’t even really look, just casually picked out five different flavors.

The freezer could fit them anyway.

"Wow, I haven’t had a Magnum in ages! Thanks, Handsome Qi!"

Xu Ying took a bite of a vanilla-flavored Magnum bar. It was the flavor she loved.

Normally, she couldn’t bring herself to buy one.

An ice cream bar for 15 yuan? It was practically an "ice cream assassin."

Never mind those other expensive brands; compared to Magnum, they were trash.

Pei Yinyin quietly ate her matcha-flavored ice cream bar.

Come to think of it, this was the first time she’d ever eaten such an expensive ice cream bar.

Coming from an ordinary family, she had never been short of admirers growing up.

But a smart girl knows that it’s hard to turn someone down after accepting their gifts.

No matter how expensive a gift someone gave her, she never dared to accept it.

She was afraid that if she did, it would be difficult to reject them later.

Her parents had drilled it into her since she was a child: a girl must have self-respect.

Only when she was sure a boyfriend was marriage material could she give herself to him.

As a dance teacher, Pei Yinyin’s figure was, needless to say, flawless.

Her skin was fair as jade, her curves enchanting.

And as for her flexibility, that went without saying.

Things like doing the splits were a piece of cake.

As she got older, her parents started pressuring her to get married.

They even arranged blind dates for her, which annoyed her to no end.

Within her parents’ social circle, the men her age they could introduce her to were all just average.

Before, she didn’t have precise requirements for her other half.

But today, she suddenly had a clear target in mind.

Both she and Tan Hua were in the category of top-tier beauties.

Naturally, she didn’t want to fall too far behind when it came to boyfriends.

"You all worked so hard today, especially Qi Sheng. I’ll treat you to a big meal."

Having saved on agent fees, moving fees, and the time it would have taken to find an apartment, Xu Ying naturally wanted to thank Qi Sheng and Tan Hua properly.

"A casual bite is fine."

Qi Sheng waved his hand, having no intention of making Xu Ying splurge on him.

Stylish white-collar workers like her basically lived paycheck to paycheck and couldn’t save much money.

"That won’t do! I’m treating you guys to an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet. I’ve been dying to try this place, and today’s the day I’m finally doing it!"

Xu Ying sent the restaurant’s location to Qi Sheng, telling him to navigate there directly later.

"Alright, then. You’re treating, so you call the shots. It’s been a while since I had a buffet, anyway."

Qi Sheng actually quite liked buffets.

Especially when he was single.

You could eat whatever you wanted, however you wanted, without having to consider a girlfriend’s feelings.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! I’m starving."

Xu Ying put the key in her bag. She just needed to find some time to let the landlord know.

As far as the landlord was concerned, as long as the rent was paid, it didn’t matter who was renting.

...

Youfang Shopping Center.

This was Qi Sheng’s first time here, too.

Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, a Japanese restaurant called ’Crafted Japanese Cuisine’ came into view.

After being led to their reserved private room, the young waitress said something in Japanese.

"Welcome, we are very happy to serve you."

At a Japanese restaurant of this level, the waitstaff could usually only manage a Japanese welcome phrase.

"So, just how happy are you, exactly?"

Qi Sheng, feeling playful, replied to the young waitress in Japanese.

"Huh?"

The young waitress was dumbfounded.

Hearing Qi Sheng’s fluent Japanese, she thought he was actually a guest from Japan and instinctively wanted to call for the manager.

"Alright, I’m just teasing you."

Qi Sheng didn’t tease the girl any further.

’It’s not easy for her to make a living.’

"You scared me! Your Japanese is really good,"

the young waitress praised, patting her chest, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It’s just a hobby. Nothing special."

Qi Sheng waved his hand dismissively.

When it came to the number of languages he had mastered,

if Qi Sheng claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.

There were over 6,000 languages in the world.

As long as Qi Sheng wanted to, he could achieve fluent proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking for any of them.

He could communicate with native speakers without the slightest barrier.

Qi Sheng didn’t consider foreign languages a high priority.

At most, he would show off a little when flirting with girls.

And now, the girls were completely amazed.

Even Tan Hua looked at Qi Sheng as if seeing him for the first time.

At the girls’ request, Qi Sheng showed off a few more Japanese phrases.

They were practically indistinguishable from what a translation app would produce.

Xu Ying was at a loss for words to describe Qi Sheng.

The man was simply one of Heaven’s chosen, a golden child.

Xu Ying exclaimed in amazement, "You’re too incredible! It’s one thing to be handsome with a great body and tons of money, but you also speak foreign languages. Don’t tell me you’ve mastered other languages too?"

"French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Russian, Arabic... I can speak a tiny bit of each."

Qi Sheng said it nonchalantly.

But in the girls’ imaginations,

they pictured him putting in immense effort behind the scenes to achieve a level of success others could never reach.

"My God, including Japanese, that means you’re fluent in eight languages! That’s insane!"

Xu Ying was running out of adjectives, but she couldn’t help but start to admire Qi Sheng.

It turned out Qi Sheng wasn’t just tall, rich, and handsome—he was also a super-achiever.

If he wasn’t a super-achiever, how could he master so many tedious languages?

As for Qi Sheng saying he knew "a tiny bit,"

they just took it with a grain of salt. He was clearly just being modest.

"Huahua, you’re so lucky. With such an outstanding boyfriend like Qi Sheng, you’ll never have to worry about communicating with locals when you travel abroad."

Xu Ying was completely won over, speaking with genuine envy.

’Tan Hua must have done a lot of good deeds in her past life to find such a perfect boyfriend in this one.’

"Mm, we’ll go when we have time."

Tan Hua linked her arm with Qi Sheng’s, feeling incredibly proud but also a little heavy-hearted.

Although Qi Sheng had explained to her before that his family wasn’t the kind of ultra-wealthy dynasty she imagined,

her boyfriend’s own excellence was putting pressure on her.

The more outstanding a man is, the more women he attracts.

It’s just female nature.

If other women don’t covet him, they won’t want him either.

On the contrary, an outstanding man is never short of a flock of admirers.

There isn’t a woman alive who doesn’t like an outstanding man.

If you want to make a woman like you,

first, you have to make her feel a sense of admiration for you.

And just like that, Qi Sheng felt a subtle shift in the way Pei Yinyin was looking at him.

When a tall, rich, handsome man who is fluent in multiple languages appears before a girl,

the temptation is no less than that of a top-tier beauty with a 36D bombshell figure batting her eyes at you.

Originally, Pei Yinyin had wanted to find a boyfriend who wasn’t much worse than Qi Sheng.

Now, she suddenly lost her confidence.

’Where could she possibly find a man who’s fluent in multiple languages, handsome, has a great body, and is filthy rich?!’

If such a man truly existed, he definitely wouldn’t be without a girlfriend.

So, there were only two paths.

Either lower her standards for a partner,

or fight other women for him!

Never mind a top-tier beauty like Pei Yinyin.

Even "old aunties" in their thirties still dream of marrying someone tall, rich, and handsome.

So for Pei Yinyin, lowering her standards was impossible.

For her, there was only one path: steal someone else’s boyfriend.

It sounded a bit unpleasant, to be frank.

But such things were all too common.

This is why Qi Sheng couldn’t see Pei Yinyin’s "favorability rating."

Otherwise, he’d be grinning from ear to ear.

He never would have dreamed that casually showing off his talent would make a top-tier beauty start having ideas about him.

It just went to show that the best way to pursue a girl was to display your own abilities.

Making her feel attracted to you was ten thousand times more effective than constantly sucking up to her and asking if she was doing okay.
