Chapter 72 Like You
Sheng Qianmei drank some Tsingtao beer, and her delicate features all scrunched up, showing her clear lack of familiarity with it, "This beer is so bitter."
"If you're going to live in Huaxia for a long time, you can't only drink red or purple wines. You might be able to do without the latter, but beer is essential. Otherwise, how will you make friends?" Liu Wentian said with a smile.
"Live in Huaxia for a long term? Do you hope that I'll stay in Huaxia permanently?"
Sheng Qianmei was taken aback, then she looked at Liu Wentian, "Several American hospitals are inviting me over, and I've actually been considering whether to go or not. For example, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has the most advanced Western medical theories and equipment in the world. I haven't decided yet whether to accept their invitation."
After she spoke, Sheng Qianmei looked at Liu Wentian without saying anything, not even understanding herself why she was discussing this with him. It seemed like she was expecting something.
"Uh..."
Liu Wentian hadn't expected Sheng Qianmei to ask him such a question.
Logically, this kind of life-changing question should be discussed with her family, not with an outsider like himself.
To be honest, if Liu Wentian said he had no special feelings for Sheng Qianmei, that would be impossible. No man could resist having thoughts about such a beauty.
Liu Wentian thought for a moment, then seriously said, "This is something you need to consider for yourself, as it concerns your life. But if it were me, I wouldn't accept those foreign hospitals' invitations, because I believe Chinese medicine is not inferior to Western medicine at all. So to learn medicine, there's absolutely no need to go abroad."
"So can I take it to mean that you're advising me not to go abroad, and that you would even be willing to teach me Chinese medicine?" Sheng Qianmei laughed, blooming like a hundred flowers with mirth in her eyes.
"You can think whatever you like. After all, I can't influence your thoughts. Here, try these beef meatballs, they have quite a good flavor, how about it, tasty?" Liu Wentian picked up a beef meatball and stuffed it straight into Sheng Qianmei's mouth.
"Mmm!" Sheng Qianmei was so shocked she widened her eyes, her sensuous red lips enclosing the chopsticks, instinctively biting down on the meatball that had been thrust in.
This guy, to pick up the meatball with chopsticks soaked in his saliva and stuff it into her mouth... what... what was he trying to imply? Sheng Qianmei's face blushed as red as blood, staring intently at Liu Wentian.

Liu Wentian, however, was completely oblivious to Sheng Qianmei's thought process, all smiles as if he was waiting for her to say whether it tasted good or not.
It seemed she had misunderstood; the guy had no intent to offend her. But he was too unrestrained, couldn't he understand that this was basically an indirect kiss?
Sheng Qianmei was almost in tears, what was this situation! She had clearly been taken advantage of, and yet the other party appeared totally clueless.
"How is it, the flavor is alright, isn't it? Why is your face so red? Is it really that...?"
Liu Wentian took a beef meatball himself and bit into it, surprised as he looked at Sheng Qianmei, "Eh, why is your face getting even redder? Don't tell me my eating beef meatball somehow matters to you! But it's not really that...!"
Sheng Qianmei looked at the chopsticks still in Liu Wentian's mouth, cleared her throat, unable to voice what she had in mind, and in the end could only say with a blushing face, "I... I can't really eat that."
"Oh, then try some of this leek. It's a vegetable so it shouldn't be spicy at all, because the spicy taste doesn't come through." Liu Wentian picked up some leek and brought it to Sheng Qianmei's mouth.
Sheng Qianmei, "..."
"What's wrong, you don't like leeks?" Liu Wentian asked, somewhat disappointedly, "The flavor is really good, you know. I always order it here at the hot pot restaurant."
Of course, you would order it, since you are not exactly...!
Thinking to herself, Sheng Qianmei finally ate the leeks, and with her face still reddened, she bowed her head and said, "I... I've decided not to accept the invitation from Massachusetts General Hospital."
Liu Wentian laughed and said, "That's good; staying in Huaxia isn't bad either."
The man nearby who saw Liu Wentian feeding Sheng Qianmei directly, some of them had even turned red with envy, as if fire was about to spew out of them.
We're all guys, so why do you get a tall, mixed-race beauty shyly waiting for you to feed her, while I'm just a singleton!!
Afterward, the two of them ate joyfully. Although it was Sheng Qianmei's first time eating spicy hot pot, there wasn't a scene of her mouth dripping with oil. She still chewed slowly and elegantly.
Sheng Qianmei's cheeks turned a bit red after a few beers, but since she still had to drive, she didn't drink too much. Once they finished eating and were about to leave, several people dressed in security uniforms came over.
Everyone at the scene grew a bit intimidated upon seeing these security guards, and the stall owner couple looked sincerely frightened.
"Is that car yours?" One of the security guards, who looked like the leader, pointed at the Porsche and asked.
"It's mine. Is there a problem?" Sheng Qianmei asked, turning her head with confusion.
The security guards, upon seeing Sheng Qianmei's appearance, all lit up, and the one who seemed to be the leader said, "You guys come on, don't you understand that you can't park there? I'm the 'Rich Liu Industrial Zone' security team captain, and you've violated parking regulations, so you need to pay a fine!"
Sheng Qianmei, somewhat angry, said, "This road is so wide, how is it a violation if I park here to eat something? It doesn't affect the traffic at all. Besides, even if it's not allowed to park here, I could simply move the car. You're not the police, so by what right do you impose a fine? How can you guards have the authority to issue fines?"
"Haha, we don't have the authority? Your car is parked right at the entrance of our industrial zone, blocking the workers from coming and going, reducing the efficiency of our workers, causing losses for our industrial zone. Therefore, we certainly have the right to impose a fine!" the security team captain scoffed.
"That's absolute nonsense, saying that my car, which is parked dozens of meters away from the entrance to your industrial zone, could possibly hinder the workers' access. You are clearly extorting me. Believe it or not, I'll call the police?" Sheng Qianmei retorted angrily.
The security team captain looked disdainful and replied, "Beauty, not everything can be resolved by calling the police. You can report to the police now, but before that happens, your car might encounter a 'problem,' such as smashed windows or scratched paint. This is a Porsche, after all; your losses will be even greater then!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"You guys aren't security, you're just thugs!" Sheng Qianmei exclaimed angrily.
The security team captain smirked, wearing an expression that seemed to challenge, 'What can you do to me?'
Sheng Qianmei was right; although they were security guards, the things they did sometimes weren't any different from thugs. Sometimes, because someone was backing them up, they acted even more arrogantly and recklessly!!
They weren't new to this kind of extortion and blackmail.
In their view, someone who could afford a Porsche but came to a place like this was the type who might have some money but no connections. After all, who from the real upper class would come to such a place?
"How much do you want to charge?" Liu Wentian asked the security team captain.
"Not much, just 50,000 will do! Kid, stay in your lane, or else you won't like the consequences!" The security team captain shook the baton in his hand at Liu Wentian, his tone aggressive.
Liu Wentian's attire looked like it came from a street stall, so to them, Liu Wentian seemed like a kept man. The key was that the woman keeping this pretty boy was too beautiful, so they were very envious.
"50,000? Why don't you just rob me!" Liu Wentian was completely unconcerned about the security team captain's baton.
"Robbery? Haha, kid, what if I am robbing you—what then? You think you're tough just because you can attract women? Let me tell you, I could easily kill you with just one hand! By the way, beauty, why not ditch this pretty boy and follow me? I guarantee my stamina is much better than this kid's!"
The security team captain laughed heartily, greedily eyeing Sheng Qianmei.
Sheng Qianmei didn't even glance at him, her brows furrowed and her tone icy, "With an appearance like yours, what good is your stamina? You should go look for a woman in a pigsty; that's where you belong. The sows there would probably like you."
