"Got it."
Lin Jiansheng barely spoke the entire time, his spirit completely drained.
After the two left, Lin Qiangwei sat in her chair, glancing toward the mall’s back door from time to time, waiting for Lin Jiang to return.
It wasn’t until over half an hour later that she finally saw his figure.
But she didn’t dare to move, because Lin Jiang was accompanied by a group of people in business jackets.
Lin Jiang also saw Lin Qiangwei sitting by the window, but he paid her no mind.
During the meeting, a game notification had popped up, telling him the kill mission was complete.
But she actually hadn’t left. She even cast a smiling gaze in his direction.
’I wonder what kind of game she’s playing.’
He accompanied the leaders on a token tour of the shop, listened to some of their suggestions, and then saw them off.
"President Lin, did you know those two people who burst in during the meeting? They seemed quite rude. Should we call the police?" Huang Youwei asked.
"No need. Someone will take care of them," Lin Jiang said.
"Go back and summarize the meeting’s content. Correct what needs correcting, and learn from what doesn’t. Make sure they feel their input was valued."
"Rest assured, President Lin. I know how to handle this."
"Mm, go on."
Huang Youwei and He Jing left. Lin Jiang returned to the noodle shop, and Lin Qiangwei approached him.
"President Lin, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lin Qiangwei."
"I know. Yang Tao told me. Lin Jiansheng is your father," Lin Jiang said nonchalantly.
"Are you here to apologize?"
"If that’s what you need, then of course, I can apologize." A seductive look appeared in Lin Qiangwei’s eyes.
"President Lin can even choose the method of apology."
Lin Jiang realized that this Lin Qiangwei really did have a naturally sultry air about her.
Other women had to force a sultry tone, but for her, it was effortless.
"Go back and tell your father to just behave himself. It’s the 21st century; he should stop playing those old-fashioned games."
Watching Lin Jiang’s departing back, Lin Qiangwei gave a self-deprecating smile. She felt like a complete joke.
Back in his car, he saw Tongzi’s game notification saying the boss had been eliminated. The more Lin Jiang thought about it, the more interesting he found the whole affair.
Lin Jiansheng thought he had countless ways to deal with him, but he never imagined he’d end up dropping a dimension-destroying weapon on himself.
Interesting.
Now that everything was settled, his next step was to visit the Qin Family and get acquainted with Qin Zhengqing.
He also had to find a way to connect Tongtong with a reliable tutor for her studies.
But he was a terrible student himself and knew nothing about this sort of thing, so he’d have to ask Qin Yangyang.
’She’s been on a business trip for a few days now. I should ask when she’s coming back.’
’A little show of concern should help build up some Affinity.’
Just as he opened his phone, he saw a friend request.
"Brother Jiang, it’s Yingjun."
Seeing it was Xu Yingjun, Lin Jiang accepted the request without a second thought.
Xu Yingjun: "Brother Jiang! [Grinning.jpg]"
Lin Jiang: "Not busy studying? [Smirking.jpg]"
Xu Yingjun: "I got a little tired of studying, so I’m taking a short break."
Xu Yingjun: [So_tired.jpg]
Xu Yingjun: "Brother Jiang, don’t tell Tongtong I added you. I secretly used her phone to find your WeChat ID."
’Is she trying to be sneaky behind her friend’s back?’
Lin Jiang: "[OK.jpg]"
Xu Yingjun: "I’ll let you get back to it, Brother Jiang. Tongtong’s back. Talk later."
Lin Jiang: "OK."
After finishing his chat with Xu Yingjun, Lin Jiang sent a message to Qin Yangyang.
Lin Jiang: "How’s work going? When are you coming back?"
Qin Yangyang: "Miss me?"
Lin Jiang: "Very much so."
Qin Yangyang: "Hmph, you silver-tongued devil."
Qin Yangyang: "I’m already on the high-speed train. I’ll be in Zhonghai in about two hours."
Lin Jiang: "Perfect, I’m free. I’ll come pick you up."
Qin Yangyang: "Really? You’re not lying?"
Lin Jiang: "I’m really free."
Qin Yangyang: "Youyou said she was going to pick me up. Why don’t you two come together? We can all have lunch."
Lin Jiang: "Alright."
After they finished chatting, an image of Qin Yangyang appeared in Lin Jiang’s mind.
Looking at his own hands, Lin Jiang felt he was terrifyingly powerful.
’Since Qin Yangyang is coming back today, I should test out this Skill’s effect.’
’I wonder if she can handle it.’
’Damn it, I’m supposed to be a gentleman. Why am I getting excited?’
Reining in his thoughts, Lin Jiang drove to pick up Qin Youyou.
Qin Youyou was no longer living at Fenglin International; she had moved back to her own home.
It was one of Zhonghai’s luxury residences, Platinum Joy Mansion.
After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw Qin Youyou approaching gracefully, bag in hand.
Ever since taking over the family business, Qin Youyou’s style had become increasingly mature.
She wore a black dress with white embroidery and a slight V-neck, which added a great deal to her feminine Charm.
But then, a long-awaited daily quest appeared above Qin Youyou’s head.
[Quest Name: Corporate Crisis]
[Quest Description: The company’s second and third largest shareholders are planning to team up to seize control.]
[Quest Reward: Flash Strike Staff x1, 20 EXP]
’I was just getting the hang of the baton, and now I get a new weapon?’
[Flash Strike Staff: When activated, can produce high-frequency vibrations. Features five intensity levels, 18 modes, and solar charging, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of power.]
’Is... is this fucking thing for real?’
"Brother Jiang."
Bag in hand, Qin Youyou happily got into Lin Jiang’s car.
"To the high-speed rail station!"
"What do you want to eat later?" Lin Jiang asked.
"My sister said she’s craving Hunan food." Qin Youyou looked at Lin Jiang. "Brother Jiang, are you okay with Hunan cuisine?"
"No problem."
"Mhm."
After humming in agreement, Qin Youyou started replying to messages on her phone, seeming to have gotten busy as well.
As he drove, Lin Jiang thought about Qin Youyou’s family situation.
