Now that Lin Huai learned that Hua Shiting was the daughter of the deputy mayor, he made a mental note that he shouldn’t be in her bad books. After all, he had to build a good relationship with Deputy Mayor Hua in the future.
Offering a chuckle in return, Lin Huai said, “I’ve never avoided you before. Didn’t I explain to you on the phone earlier today? I’ve just been too busy… To be honest, the first thing I thought of was to look for you as soon as I was done being busy. It just so happens that you beat me to it. Otherwise, I’d definitely meet with you.”
Though she knew that he was merely spouting nonsense, she didn’t want to argue with him now that she could finally meet him. Time spent with him was precious after all.
With her gaze fixed on him, a train of thoughts ran through her head. Ever since the day he helped her win a battle, she started having feelings for him. She seemed to like and admire him. After she went home that day
Hua Manjiang expected Lin Huai to agree. Even if he didn’t, Hua Manjiang believed Lin Huai definitely wouldn’t side with Hou Junji. Due to Lin Huai’s involvement with The General, the chances of him working with the Hou Family were slim. Hence, Hua Manjiang didn’t bother to beat around the bush and forced Lin Huai to pick his side. If he were to do the exact opposite and sided with the Hou Family, it would mean he’d become Hua Manjiang’s enemy.After a moment of silence, Lin Huai offered Hua Manjiang a smile. “Deputy Mayor Hua, since your daughter and I are friends, you and I are friends too.”Hearing that, Hua Manjiang put on a subtle smile as he took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. With a snap of the lighter, he lit the outer end of the cigarette before turning his gaze toward Lin Huai. “Whether it’s me or other people, I’d prefer to put things bluntly.”Lin Huai certainly didn’t see that coming. Although Hua Manjiang seem
While he was in the car, Lin Huai thought, If all of the inheritance of 200 million is in Hua Shiting’s hands, she probably won’t be able to spend the entire amount even if she doesn’t work for the rest of her life. Apart from that, Deputy Mayor Hua doesn’t really need this money. His current rank provides a high allowance for his living expenses and he would even be given a house. Once he retires, he would receive a large sum of pension as well. Hua Shiting’s mother is not someone who would spend a lot of money either. Her attire may look elegant, but it’s not ridiculously expensive.Dao Zi asked, “Brother Huai, what are you thinking about?”“Nothing.” Lin Huai sighed. “I’m just thinking that the destiny of some people has been predetermined from the moment they were born.”Both of them remained silent for a while. Then, Dao Zi suddenly answered, “I don’t think so, though.”Lin Huai smiled. “What are your life goals?”
It was apparent that Hou Yangsheng was a businessman because he did not have the fierce aura that a gangster would have. He looked calm, as if he would not bring harm to a person.Lin Huai placed the fruits beside the man before speaking eagerly, “Mr. Hou, it’s my honor to be your guest today.”“Hahaha! Don’t be so courteous with me! Quickly take a seat.”Hence, Lin Huai sat down on the couch while Hou Yangsheng walked to the hall in the direction of the sofa as he ordered, “Bring some fruits over.”“Sure thing, Sir.” A beautiful maid who was in her thirties walked to the kitchen from the hall. Lin Huai noticed that her figure was quite alluring and she swayed her body as she walked. I didn’t know that Hou Yangsheng knew how to enjoy life.Hou Yangsheng sat opposite him and asked with a smile, “How old are you, Mr. Lin?”“I’m 19 going on to 20.”“I see.” He nodded wistfully. “You
Hou Yangsheng wore a solemn expression after asking his question as he waited for Lin Huai’s answer.Lin Huai replied with a smile, “Thank you for your advice, Mr. Hou, but it’s not necessary. I’m still grateful for your advice, though.”There wasn’t any change of expression on Hou Yangsheng’s face as he smiled and responded, “That’s fine. If you ever need my help, you can always call me. I like making new friends, not to mention that you and my son have hit it off well.”“Of course. In that case, I must apologize in advance if I were to ever bother you in the future.”Hou Yangsheng laughed before he said, “Since you and my son are able to hit it off well, you don’t need to be so formal with me. Why don’t you call me ‘Uncle Hou’ instead? Besides, you are of the same age as my nephew.”“Alright then, Uncle Hou.” Lin Huai didn’t feel anything wrong by calling Hou Yangsheng ‘uncle’ because it didn’t mean that he wa
Lin Huai grabbed Li Liner’s hand and spoke loudly. “I want you all to remember that from now on, Liner will be your boss. Starting from today, she’ll be in charge of everything in the nightclub and all of you need to listen to her orders, understand?”His underlings knew the rules very well so as soon as he finished his announcement, all of them bowed at the same time and shouted, “Greetings, Mrs. Lin!”Immediately, Li Liner blushed as Lin Huai chuckled without correcting them. Even though his girlfriend was actually Wei Qimian, he also hoped that Li Liner could receive the same respect as her since she had always been by his side.Lin Huai then continued, “Alright, then. All of you can go ahead with your work. I’ll take Liner for a tour around the office.” He then brought her to the general manager’s office on the second floor. At the moment, a document was neatly placed on the desk with a pen next to it. Lin Huai walked over to the des
It would take around three hours by plane to reach S City from Tongcheng City. As both of them sat in the plane, Hua Shiting looked excited. Even though she would often go out in the past, it was different this time because she had a man beside her and he was someone she was interested in for the first time in her life. Throughout the journey, the both of them were not bored at all. Hua Shiting was very good at making conversation and Lin Huai was also quite the talker. Both of them slowly warmed up to each other as they chatted happily together, as though they were old friends. Around 1 in the afternoon, the plane slowly landed at an airport in S City. After gliding on the runway for a while, it finally came to a stop. Lin Huai and Hua Shiting then walked out of the plane. Being the graceful gentleman he was, Lin Huai carried her bags for her and she took the opportunity to hold onto his arm.He tried to get away from he
Hua Shiting glanced at Lin Huai with a hint of confusion in her eyes and said, “I don’t think we are on the same page when I said something more exciting. The thing that you are thinking about is actually on the fourth floor. They have all kinds of beautiful women on that floor—lolis, mature women, locals, exotic women from other countries… You can even find a woman from Africa if that’s what you like.”Upon hearing that, Lin Huai was rendered speechless and he almost choked on his spit. Then, he composed himself and refuted, “I would never think of entering that sort of place. As you can see, I’m a decent gentleman.”However, Hua Shiting stared at him suspiciously, as if she didn’t believe in his words at all, and explained, “The second floor is for leisure and entertainment activities, such as bowling, karaoke and shooting ranges while the third floor is more exciting because it has all kinds of gambling games ranging from mahjong to poker. However
At this moment, Lin Huai thought about telling Chen Hu not to humor him anymore. Since Chen Hu didn’t want them to be friends, he could very well go and find someone else.Certainly, that was what Chen Hu had to be thinking about as well. After humoring Lin Huai for a little bit, he prepared to leave, only for a young man to walk up to them at this moment. Handsome and eye-catching, the young man was accompanied by two bodyguards and appeared even more imposing than Chen Hu. Yet, he ignored Lin Huai and instead, he walked up to Hua Shiting. F*ck! Lin Huai thought to himself, Am I going to have to be a knight in shining armor again? Why is every gentleman nowadays so perverted? Chen Hu might look a little wretched but at least he’s well-behaved. Is this what it means to be a beast in fine clothing?Sure enough, after walking up to Hua Shiting, the young man said with a smile, “Might I invite you to dinner, pretty lady? I’m a Platinum Mem
