He was clearly calling Han Guangqi a capitalist.
Veins bulged on Han Guangqi’s forehead, but he was still trying hard to restrain himself.
"If President Lin wants to learn about our advanced model, I can save a seat for you. There’s no need to hide in the back and learn on the sly."
"You’ve really misunderstood. I’m actually not here to learn," Lin Jiang said.
"I knew you were holding a press conference here and was worried something might happen, so I came over to give you a heads-up."
"A heads-up?"
"In about ten minutes, the Gulf Hotel might be undergoing some electrical maintenance. If the power goes out midway, it would be a real problem for you, which is why I came."
"A power outage? President Lin, you must be joking," Han Guangqi said with a chuckle.
"We haven’t received any notice about maintenance."
"There’s something you might not know. Ever since Berkeley opened, our business has been a runaway success. We’ve even driven our competitors to shut down and reorganize. So, we’ve made a little money..." Lin Jiang said with a grin.
"To be honest, I just bought the Gulf Hotel. This place is my property now. In order to improve the quality of our service, we’ve decided to conduct extensive electrical maintenance. That’s why I came to give you a heads-up. Wouldn’t it be a shame if the power suddenly went out and interrupted your event?"
As soon as he said this, the entire room erupted.
A wave of discussion swept through the crowd, everyone utterly astonished.
"Is Berkeley that rich? They actually bought the Gulf Hotel?"
"It’s not that Berkeley is rich, it’s that Berkeley has *made* a lot of money. Huipin Mall opened with such confidence, thinking they could drag Berkeley down with their powerful supply chain integration. In reality, they got hit with a series of moves that forced them to close down and reorganize, even changing their name to Huipin City. Not even a ghost would believe you if you said Berkeley isn’t making money."
"This is such a fiasco. They couldn’t beat them in the business world, so they tried to step on them like this, and it just ended up as a joke."
"I just came to watch the show at the press conference. I never thought there’d be this much drama to enjoy. Interesting."
"Now we’ll see what Han Guangqi does. If he doesn’t end the press conference and the power really goes out, it’ll be even more embarrassing for him."
Standing in the back, Li Wuyang and Zhou Jin’s expressions had also soured.
The whole point of this press conference was to go after Berkeley.
And now, here they were, declaring war on the enemy’s own turf. It was embarrassing just thinking about it.
"Please, continue. I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll go talk to the hotel’s engineering department and see if we can postpone the maintenance. I’ll do my best to let you finish your press conference."
With that, Lin Jiang handed the microphone back to Han Guangqi, walked off the stage, and left the venue.
Han Guangqi stood frozen on the spot, suddenly the focus of everyone in the room.
’Son of a bitch, he plays dirty! Fuck!’
...
He walked out of the conference hall feeling refreshed and invigorated.
’I just wanted to watch the commotion, but they had to make me go on stage and show off. How embarrassing.’
After coming out, Lin Jiang found Chen Jingxian. Her business was also finished.
After completing the handover, Lin Jiang drove Chen Jingxian back.
"Aren’t you going back to the company?"
"I have something else to do. You go on ahead."
"Okay, I’m heading off then. Drive safe."
"Yeah, I will."
Chen Jingxian left with her bag, her stride full of the confident air of a powerful woman.
He took out his phone. There was a message from He Jing.
She said that after he left, the press conference had been hastily wrapped up.
Lin Jiang smiled. ’So little nerve, and they think they can do business? They should go home and play in the mud.’
After exchanging a few more messages with He Jing, Lin Jiang called Fang Jie.
He had the song. All that was left was the recording. He needed to talk to her about it.
"Where are you?"
"At the company," Fang Jie’s tone was light. "If the boss wants to ask me out, I happen to have time today."
"The boss has time, and the teacher has time. It just depends on whose invitation you want to accept."
The different identities represented different activities. For the two of them, it was a little foreplay game.
"Then I’ll accept the boss’s invitation. Every time the teacher asks me out, he bullies me."
"I do?"
"Of course, you do. Last time, after you spanked me, my daughter saw it when I was showering. She even asked me about it."
"What did she ask? What did you say?" Lin Jiang asked with great interest.
"She asked how I got marks on my butt. I just said I bumped into something. How could I possibly let her know about this?"
"It seems I can’t ask you out as the teacher today, then."
"You’re so dense."
"What is it now?"
"Whether it’s the boss or the teacher, I’m under your control. Whatever you say, goes. I don’t have the right to refuse," Fang Jie said coquettishly.
"This is why mature women are so captivating. There’s definitely a reason for it."
"Hey, hey, hey. If you keep talking like that, I’m not going to be nice to you anymore."
Lin Jiang chuckled. "Alright, wait for me at the company."
"Mhm."
Soon, Lin Jiang was driving to Fang Jie’s company, Zhuoyi Media Co., Ltd.
He had been there before, so he knew his way around.
He knocked on the door. After Fang Jie answered from inside, Lin Jiang pushed the door open and went in.
Fang Jie was sitting at her desk. She was wearing black stockings and red high heels, which made her already well-proportioned legs look even more beautiful.
Seeing Lin Jiang, Fang Jie gently tucked her hair back, stood up, and welcomed him to the sofa.
"Are you here on business? Or..."
Fang Jie’s expression held a hint of mischief. "...or did you want to ask me out to dinner?"
"Both."
"Let’s talk business first, then."
"The business is the lesson."
"Hey, we can’t have a lesson during work hours. There are employees outside."
Lin Jiang had just been joking, but seeing Fang Jie’s bashful expression, he felt a little spark of excitement.
"What does it matter if there are employees? It’s not like they can just walk in. Besides, you have a lock on your door. Once it’s locked, it’ll be perfect for our lesson."
Fang Jie’s heart raced from his teasing. She had never even dreamed of something like this before.
But after hearing Lin Jiang’s words, she felt an inexplicable sense of excitement and thrill.
’This is my office!’
’If I really let him give me a lesson in here, wouldn’t that be too thrilling?’
"No, no..."
Fang Jie’s face was flushed as she waved her hands in refusal.
"Are you sure? You won’t even try?"
"I’m not trying it. Besides..."
"Besides what?"
"My yoga gear is all at home. I definitely can’t practice."
"Isn’t that simple? Just take off your skirt and jacket."
"But..."
Fang Jie paused, her mind racing.
Under her skirt were pantyhose. They weren’t see-through, and in a way, they were similar to yoga pants, both being very form-fitting.
But her top...
"I’m still wearing a blouse underneath."
"Then take off the blouse too. It won’t be a problem."
"Teacher, you’re so naughty. You actually want me to take off my blouse too," Fang Jie complained playfully.
"Your sports bra is basically like underwear anyway. Think about it, isn’t that right?"
Subconsciously, Fang Jie tucked her hair back, her heart beating a little faster.
Despite her embarrassment, she felt a fiery heat inside.
’This is my own office. If we tried it here, it would probably be very thrilling.’
Lifting her head, Fang Jie looked toward her office door.
She slowly stood up...
Walked over...
Quietly...
And locked the door from the inside...
