Chapter 136: Chapter 129: Zhan Nanging Wants to Make a Bet with Qiao Jing
“Me, go?”
Was she seeing things?
Zhan Nanging rubbed her eyes, seriously suspecting they were playing tricks on her. So, she rubbed them again
and looked intently at Qiao Jing.
By that time, Qiao Jing had already entered the research institute.
Zhan Nanging really wanted to follow and see for herself, but she couldn't; she didn’t have access.
Zhan Nanging didn’t leave, instead, she waited for Qiao Jing to cout.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to wait as late as last time; Qiao Jing was out after just a short while.
The reason Qiao Jing left so quickly was that Lin Xiuxiang and Tang Yan were getting engaged. As Lin Xiuxiang’s
best friend and family, it was necessary to give a valuable gift that represented her heartfelt wishes.
So she decided to go to the mall.
“Hey, are you going to agree or not?” Zhan Nanqing chased after her again.
Qiao Jing was on the roadside hailing a taxi.
“Where are you going? I'll give you a ride, but then you have to agree to it,” Zhan Nanging opened the car door.
Qiao Jing wasn’t polite with Zhan Nanging, “To Wanxiang City.”
With the car keys in hand, Zhan Nanging felt like she was a cab driver.
Hmph! If it wasn’t for getting Lan Yinyin away from her brother, she wouldn't be here serving you.
Zhan Nanging was in the driver's seat while Qiao Jing was behind, occasionally checking her phone or looking
out the window.
“Hey! | want to ask you something.”
“Sure, speak, but | might not answer,” Qiao Jing replied indifferently.
Zhan Nanging “..."”
Zhan Nanging thought luckily Qiao Jing and her brother only had a 100-day agreement and luckily Qiao Jing had
moved out of Purple Garden. Otherwise, facing Qiao Jing every day, she would have been infuriated to death
sooner or later.
“Answerhonestly, what exactly do you do in Professor Qiao’s Research Institute? You aren't really a doctor,
are you?”
Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Nanging.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Sort of.”
Qiao Jing’s statement wasn’t exactly a lie, because if any staff member fell ill at the institute, she was the one to
tend to them as long as she was present.
“Liar!” Zhan Nanging didn’t believe her one bit.
“If you're just a doctor, why are the institute’s research reports with you? And those vegetables, why keep some
on your balcony?”
Instead of answering, Qiao Jing countered, “What do you think | do at the institute then?”
“I'm asking you, okay?” Zhan Nanging turned around and rolled her eyes at Qiao Jing.
“Forget it then! Anyway, there's less than 20 days left until you and my brother are done, and | won't see you
anymore. | can’t be bothered to find out, and even if you really are a researcher at the institute, you couldn't
possibly be an agricultural scientist. At most, you're just an intern like Gan Lanlan.”
In Zhan Nanging’s view, Qiao Jing was at most an intern. An agricultural scientist was out of the question; in her
mind, agricultural scientists were always somewhat older and looked knowledgeable and cultured.
No matter what, it was impossible for Qiao Jing to be that way.
Listening to Nanqing’s certain words, Qiao Jing suddenly beca bit mischievous.
“What if | really am an agricultural scientist?”
Although Qiao Jing possessed maturity and steadiness beyond her peers, as well as academic prowess far
exceeding those of her age and even those within her field, she was still a 23-year-old, and occasionally showed
the temperament appropriate for her age.
Of course, such occasions were rare for her.
“Haha—" Nanqing scoffed with a laugh, “If you are an agricultural scientist, I'll be your personal driver for life.
Wherever you go, I'll take you there. | won't take a salary, will work hard without complaints, and be at your beck
and call.”
Hearing this, Qiao Jing was almost tempted.
Although she was amazing at racing cars, she only liked racing, not driving. Moreover, her mind was particularly
clear when she was riding in a car; academic issues that she couldn't figure out or understand in other settings
often becclear to her while sitting in a car.
Thus, she had always enjoyed riding in cars, which was also why she drove but didn’t own a car.
Having a free personal driver wouldn't be too bad.
So she almost impulsively revealed her identity.
“Forget it, if | really wanted a driver, | would have hired one long ago.”
In fact, Mogian had arranged a personal driver for her before, but she didn’t use it much, mainly because she
didn’t like having someone wait for her outside, so she let it go.
“Haha! So you're just bluffing, right? You're only a year older than me, how could you possibly be an agricultural
scientist. Do you think you are Professor Qiao?!” Nanging’s words were as scornful as they could be.
Qiao Jing moved her lips slightly, initially wanting to say something, but eventually she shut her mouth and
looked down at her phone.
The car drove for nearly forty minutes before arriving at Wanxiang City.
“This place is all luxury goods, what do you want to buy? If you don’t have enough money, | can pay for you, but
only if you agree to collaborate with me.”
Nanging hadn't finished speaking when Qiao Jing had already walked into a jewelry store in Wanxiang City.
“Hey, hey, hey! Can't you listen tofinish speaking?” Nanging followed up, huffing with annoyance.
Qiao Jing asked the sales assistant to take out a gemstone necklace from the glass caband handed it to
Nanging, “What do you think?”
“It's fine if you like it, why are you
asking me?” she said, “Man, that price
is too high, isn't it? Quer raiffon!
Afthougdhli Rave spocket money,
if | give it all to Qiao Jing, | won't have
money for entertainment for the next
two months.” The content is on

This Qiao Jing, really didn’t hold back at all, never picking anything that wasn’t expensive.
Qiao Jing lightly furrowed her brows as she examined the gemstone necklace in her hand, “I don’t usually wear
these. Although I've dealt with antiques, the concept is different. It’s not quite in line with the tastes of a pure
young girl.”
Nanging pouted her lips as if saying you don’t act like a girl? Also, you deal with antiques? Playing antiques as
someone from the countryside, what antiques are you talking about? Keep pretending, see if | believe you?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“From what you're saying, you're not buying this for yourself?”
“Yeah, Xiangxiang and Tang Yan are getting engaged. | want to pick out a gift for her,” Qiao Jing put down the
gemstone necklace and continued looking inside the counter.
“What? You're buying such expensive
items for a friend?” Nanging was
stunned; truth be Reel

limited pocket money, hardly ever
used her own money to buy luxury

“Expensive? It's okay. Compared to
the Ginseng | gave your grandfather
last time, this is nothing.” Qiao Jing
also thought about gig Girisehg to
Xjeanblsat then she figured
Ginseng might be something she
could manage to get. However, since
Xiuxiang's event was an engagement
and not a celebration of longevity,
giving Ginseng wasn't quite
appropriate. The content is on

Mentioning the Ginseng, Nanqing had a question she had wanted to ask Qiao Jing for a long time.
“I'm asking you, how did you manage to get that Ginseng from Wonderful Hall? My mom and | also went to
Wonderful Hall, asked them to bring out their best stuff, but they never brought out the Ginseng. Do you know
the owner of Wonderful Hall?”
