111: Ten Great Tortures

Uncle Li saw the two walk out of the office building, drove the car over, and opened the door for them.

Feng Qiqi was the first to get in. Once he sat down beside her, she clung to his arm and pouted, saying, "What a pity, I didn't even get to show off my acting skills!"

"As long as the mission is accomplished."

Jiang Chuan hadn't expected things to unfold this way either; it wasn't that Cosmetics Brand lacked or didn't value promotion.

This meant the plan he had arranged was all for nothing, and naturally, the task he'd given Little Green Tea had no effect.

It was like a business gathering in the live-streaming industry where he had publicly humiliated the chairman of Deep Sea.

The reason for Cosmetics Brand's current situation was actually because of this; such a turn of events was something even a god couldn't predict.

Feng Qiqi just wanted to help her Boyfriend with some matters to increase his favorability a bit. Resting her small head on his arm, she said:

"I won't go to the banquet tomorrow night then. I can't help anyway, and I'll just distract you."

"It doesn't matter to me. Go if you want to, and if you don't, just rest at the hotel."

Since Jiang Chuan dared to agree, he was practically certain of success. What he was thinking about now wasn't tomorrow's plan, but the deployment after the cooperation.

This matter was very easy to handle; since the two companies had a conflict, he just needed to find a high-ranking mediator to smooth things over.

He still had a card in his hand, but it could only be used once. Originally, it wasn't worth using on Cosmetics Brand.

But the terms offered by the other party were too excellent. Signing this contract would save a huge amount of capital.

Feng Qiqi knew she couldn't help in such a setting and said with a smile, "Then I'll just rest at the hotel. You have to come back early tomorrow!"

"Okay."

Jiang Chuan understood Little Green Tea's thoughts. He pinched her small nose and said dotingly, "Then I'll spend today out playing with you. You pick a place."

"Great, great!"

Compared to attending a banquet, Feng Qiqi preferred going on a private date with him. She took out her phone and looked at a review app with him.

The two finally chose a 5A-rated scenic spot called Black Soil Mountain, known as the "Top Beauty of Yang City."

Feng Qiqi took sunscreen out of her bag and helped apply it on him. The weather in Yang City was too hot; one had to take sun protection measures when visiting scenic spots, or they might get sunburned.

"Here, you help me apply it too!"

She handed over the sunscreen and enjoyed the application as if it were a massage while looking at travel guides on her phone.

"There's even bungee jumping! Should we go?"

"You have the final say today."

Jiang Chuan wasn't afraid of heights. He applied the sunscreen seriously and answered casually.

Feng Qiqi planned diligently. By the time the car stopped in the scenic spot's parking lot, she had just finished arranging the places they were going.

"Let's go!"

For some reason, Little Green Tea suddenly turned into Little Red Tea; her small face was flushed. She glared at this restless, bad man, snatched back the sunscreen, and shouted happily.

The two held hands, bought tickets at the entrance, and walked into this famous scenic spot. They weren't in a hurry, strolling carefree and taking in the surrounding scenery.

Feng Qiqi saw the cable car and pulled him inside. She didn't want to climb the mountain; it was a waste of time and exhausting. The cable car was much more comfortable.

Jiang Chuan didn't use his brain at all, relaxing completely and following Little Green Tea's arrangements.

The cable car started slowly, providing a full bird's-eye view of the entire scenic spot. Nature's craftsmanship was truly magnificent.

"The scenery here is so beautiful!"

Feng Qiqi pressed herself against the cable car's glass, looking at the view outside and exclaiming in admiration.

"It really is beautiful."

Jiang Chuan didn't know how long it had been since he was this close to nature. Whether in his past life or since his rebirth, he had always been busy.

He was always thinking about work. Now, emptying his mind and thinking of nothing felt truly relaxing.

After the cable car reached the summit, they arrived at the activity Little Green Tea wanted to experience most: the bungee jumping platform!

"You're not afraid of heights, are you? If you're scared, just wait for me up here. I want to try it."

"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it only forty-two meters? No problem!"

Jiang Chuan had never tried bungee jumping either, but it was just jumping from a high place. He wasn't afraid of heights, so he didn't think it would be difficult at all.

Hearing this, Feng Qiqi excitedly pulled him toward a male and a female bungee instructor and said, "I've already made a reservation. I've paid for two people."

The female instructor took her phone to check, and after seeing everything was in order, she said with a smile, "Alright, you two need to sign the agreements."

As Jiang Chuan took a large pile of agreements, he started to feel something was off. It felt like entering an operating room. But since he had already spoken, he could only grit his teeth and sign.

Feng Qiqi had known about this process long ago. She didn't even look, just signed her name and handed it back. She pressed her hands together and pleaded with wide eyes, "It's our first time bungee jumping. Teach us a bit, Sister!"

The female instructor nodded, helped the young girl fasten her safety equipment, and said with a smile, "It's very simple. Just close your eyes and open them, and it's over. Do you want the cordless or the corded one?"

"Huh? What do you mean by cordless?"

"You can go down now."

"Oh."

Feng Qiqi was still wondering why there was a cordless option. Without thinking much, she followed the instructor's command, left her embrace, and jumped straight down.

Jiang Chuan stood behind. He had seen people in bungee jumping videos screaming their heads off, but Little Green Tea didn't make a sound. It seemed the height was too low to be scary.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. With the male instructor's help, he fastened his safety equipment and waited for Little Green Tea to return.

Feng Qiqi indeed didn't feel much. Being pulled back up to the platform, she felt a bit unsatisfied and wanted to try again. She walked up to him and said:

"It's not very high, not scary at all. Just jump straight down."

"No problem. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back!"

Jiang Chuan walked to the edge of the bungee platform with full confidence. Looking down at the abyss-like height, he unconsciously took a small step back.

"This isn't quite what I imagined. It really is this high!"

The male instructor didn't have much patience. He pushed him back and said, "Hurry up. Just close your eyes and jump and it's over. How can you be worse than your girlfriend?"

Jiang Chuan became even more afraid when he closed his eyes and hesitated to jump. Looking back at the fierce-looking man, he said with a smile, "Th... that, can I choose not to jump?"

"What do you think?"

Seeing that he hadn't jumped yet, Feng Qiqi thought something had happened. She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly, "What's wrong? If something's up, then don't jump!"

The male instructor, seeing such a beautiful girl being so considerate, thought of his own girlfriend who shared none of those qualities. His mood soured further, and he said impatiently:

"Are you just going to make your girlfriend wait like that? Did you come to the scenic spot just to stand on the bungee platform and look at the scenery?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't stand being goaded. Taking it as punishment for being a scumbag, he closed his eyes and jumped straight down. Feeling the weightlessness, he screamed at the top of his lungs:

"I confess! What kind of torture is this! Can't I just confess already!"
