"Miss Zou, do you understand my feelings?" Li Jiaming looked at Zou Miao with urgency and focused gaze.
Zou Miao lowered her eyes and suddenly said, "Mr. Li, have I ever told you that your way of looking at people is unique?"
Li Jiaming was taken aback and hurriedly averted his gaze. He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I was a bit emotional and acted inappropriately."
Zou Miao smiled and gently shook her head.
"Mr. Li, I already understand your intentions. But I don't think there is any misunderstanding between you. I don't think I can be of much help, and as for the final outcome, I believe Miss Sun has the right to make her own choice.
Here, all I can advise is that tactics may be a shortcut, but sincerity is the key to opening someone's heart. If you are sincere, I believe she will be able to feel it.
As for the fee, we charge based on the duration of the consultation." Zou Miao raised her arm and casually pointed to the electronic clock placed on the corner of the table. "You see, why not settle today's consultation fee first?"
Li Jiaming, being an experienced person with rich life experiences, had exceptional emotional control. In the blink of an eye, all the complex emotions from before were completely hidden, leaving no trace. He simply took out his phone and used a social app to make a transfer, then asked naturally.
"Miss Zou, I see that you haven't had your meal yet. How about we have a meal together and I can also seek some guidance from you?"
Zou Miao tilted her head and smiled, "We have ordered takeout, and there happens to be an extra portion. If Mr. Li doesn't mind, he can take it with him."
Li Jiaming was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Thank you very much then."
Li Jiaming graciously took the takeout that was originally meant for Chen Zhuo, showing no signs of pretense.
Shen Man, being very curious, rushed in to ask Zou Miao as soon as the other person left.
"Who was that man just now? He's quite handsome and stylish," Shen Man asked eagerly while eating her sausage rice.
Zou Miao thought to herself, "This girl's taste in men is so ordinary."
"He's a client," Zou Miao replied indifferently.
Shen Man said, "That handsome uncle seems to have something going on. He's dressed in designer clothes. But considering his age, he can't possibly be single. Why would he come to us for consultation? Could it be a marital crisis?"
Zou Miao gave her a disdainful look and said, "It's none of your business, stop prying."
"Oh." Shen Man pursed her lips, took the takeout and walked out the door, muttering to herself, "Boss, you can't even open a tab for half a day. It's hard enough to get a customer, but you didn't even chat with them for a bit and just hurriedly sent them away. Are we going to starve?"
Zou Miao was amused by the other person's teasing, "Even if you can't fill your own bowl, don't worry, you won't starve."
Zou Miao held her phone with one hand and opened the packaging of the takeout with the other. She absentmindedly scrolled through her Weibo messages while casually eating.
She had just reached ten thousand followers on her Weibo. Although she was only a small transparent figure in the internet celebrity world, she had some local fame. In fact, many of her clients came from word-of-mouth recommendations from netizens.
She opened her private messages and saw a familiar nickname - it was a client who had previously commissioned her.
"Zou Consultant, did my friend come to see you? Her last name is Sun, and she has been emotionally unstable recently. I recommended you to her."
Zou Miao opened the private message and felt a bit speechless. Why couldn't they just contact her by phone? How impatient can one be to send a private message on Weibo? Looking at the timestamp, the message was from three days ago.
Instead of replying, she simply closed the interface. However, prompted by the other person's reminder, she couldn't help but think of that woman named Sun Fei.
Zou Miao had a feeling that Sun Fei and Li Jiaming would most likely end up together. That man named Li Jiaming had a way of making everyone feel special, like an experienced player who liked to cast a wide net.
I hope Sun Fei won't have the idea of contacting me again.
