Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1559 - 856: A Place of Peace

"I’m Zheng Pingping, from Junior High School Grade 1 Class 7!" Zheng Pingping stared at Jiang Ning, who seemed like a different person. Her eyes shone brightly.

Without waiting for Jiang Ning to reply, she said, "Yesterday Brother Le asked me out for dinner, but I refused, Xiao Xue even complained to me about it!"

Next to her, Jiang Weibo heard this, and a smile appeared on his lips. Zheng Pingping was his girlfriend, whom he met while working outside, and her rejection of the man’s invitation yesterday made Jiang Weibo very pleased. Who wouldn’t like a sweet and obedient girlfriend?

Today, he brought Zheng Pingping to the banquet, intending to show off, and at the same time flaunt his new iPhone and the small car he had purchased.

When the time comes, a few jabs at Jiang Ning would just leave him frustrated, right? That’s right, Jiang Weibo had always resented students with good grades due to his own academic underperformance, which is why he had targeted Jiang Ning several times in the past.

Zheng Pingping felt a bit regretful, "I heard it was very exciting yesterday. If I had known you were there, I would’ve gone to the restaurant."

As soon as she said this, Jiang Weibo’s smile froze.

Jiang Ning casually replied, "It was okay, Wang Xue and the others exaggerated."

The more Zheng Pingping looked at him, the more handsome she found him. She actually overlooked her official boyfriend, Jiang Weibo, beside her and initiated a conversation, "I heard you got accepted into the school in the urban area?"

Jiang Ning: "Yeah, Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School."

"Wow, your grades were already good, and now you’re going to a city school. You’ll definitely get into a good college in the future," Zheng Pingping said, somewhat envious. "Unlike me, with poor grades, I didn’t get into high school."

Jiang Ning: "No need to idealize any path you haven’t taken. Maybe entering the society earlier suits you better?"

Zheng Pingping was delighted to hear this, "Exactly, I’m now running an online store with my aunt, mainly focusing on women’s clothing. The business is booming. In the future, if your mom wants to buy clothes, she can come to me, and I’ll give her the cost price!"

Jiang Ning vaguely recalled that in the past life, rumors in the village had it that Jiang Weibo’s partner’s online store did very well. At its peak, it could earn close to a million a year. Later, after the two broke up, Jiang Weibo even swindled 800,000 before leaving.

Jiang Ning thought, ’No wonder Jiang Weibo treasures Zheng Pingping, whose appearance isn’t particularly striking, and even dares to show her off. Turns out she’s a ’strong woman.’"

The car Jiang Weibo drives now was most likely bought by Zheng Pingping.

Jiang Ning said, "Sure."

Zheng Pingping, looking at Jiang Ning, suddenly had a thought, "Actually, our store considered getting into men’s wear, but it’s hard to find models, hahaha."

Jiang Weibo couldn’t hold it in anymore. His expression was strained, "Pingping, didn’t you say not to dabble in fields you’re not familiar with?"

Zheng Pingping replied, displeased, "Look at Jiang Ning’s figure and dressing style, so handsome and stylish. He clearly knows his stuff. Anyway, I’m not planning to go big right from the start."

Jiang Weibo forcefully chuckled twice. In terms of height, he had always been much taller than Jiang Ning. But after not seeing him for a year or two, Jiang Ning had shot up.

Zheng Pingping may not excel in academics, but when it comes to business, she was articulate. Back in 2015, she was already working on creating ’internet celebrity wear’ for traffic marketing and customer acquisition.

Jiang Ning: "With e-commerce still in a high-growth phase, you can initially focus on creating influencers, but later, it’s best to move towards branding."

As Ping chatted and pondered, Jiang Ning casually mentioned that private traffic could be used to convey brand value.

Initially, Zheng Pingping was somewhat puzzled, but her eyes gradually lit up.

The culturally lacking Jiang Weibo stood by unable to join the conversation, his face turning increasingly sullen.

Jiang He pulled him aside and whispered, "Brother Bo, why does it seem like your girlfriend is flirting?"

Jiang Weibo’s face grew even more unpleasant.

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Pingping has always treated me well; she’s just talking business."

Even the car he drives was bought with Pingping’s money. With all her sacrifices for him, it would be incredibly hard for her to leave. Jiang Weibo gradually settled his mindset.

He lit a cigarette and said, "I know my girlfriend."

He sneered, "If she gets swayed by anyone else and leaves with them, I’ll admit defeat!"

Jiang He agreed, "Truly, standing with you, she’s quite the match."

Just as he finished speaking, Zheng Pingping at the dinner table took out her phone and added Jiang Ning’s contact info.

Jiang Weibo couldn’t maintain his composure, his face burning with humiliation.

Facing a matter of lifelong importance, Jiang Weibo quickly returned to the table, but there were too many people, and he found himself without a seat.

Jiang Ning timely handed him a stool.

Jiang Weibo looked at him, memories flooding back, as if returning to those years when he played the Emperor.

Jiang Weibo suddenly laughed, "Jiang Ning, you really don’t need to suck up to me, do you?"

Jiang Ning was puzzled and said, "I was giving you the stool to leave quickly and stop being in the way."

Jiang Junlong slapped the table, laughing, "This cracks me up."

Jiang Weibo: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ning: "Each table has a fixed number of seats, do you still want to squeeze in?"

Jiang Weibo was about to retort when Zheng Pingping suddenly said, "Weibo, go sit over there. I’m going to chat a bit more about business with Jiang Ning."

While chatting with Jiang Ning earlier, she found he wasn’t just handsome but also quite knowledgeable about e-commerce. In comparison, Jiang Weibo, who expected her to buy him a car, seemed utterly unimpressive.

Treated so dismissively by Zheng Pingping in front of everyone, Jiang Weibo suppressed his anger, "Zheng Pingping, remember, I’m your boyfriend!"

Jiang He quickly interjected, "Brother Bo, take my seat!"

Saying that, he picked up the stool and dashed away.

Finally seated, Jiang Weibo realized that everyone at the table could see his restraint and anger.

But there were always some who didn’t care, like Hao Hao, who was calculating whether he could take the cigarettes from the table later.

At the neighboring table, an elderly woman guessed correctly even without fully seeing, and exclaimed in wonder, "Isn’t that Ningning? He’s grown so handsome!"
