Chapter 97: The Principal Wants to See You
"Chen Tianlong..."
Lin Batian wanted to say something but hesitated, finally just saying, "Thank you!"
"Taking someone’s money to alleviate their troubles, there’s nothing to thank. I’m just fulfilling my duty." After speaking, Chen Tianlong turned and left by car.
"Hmph, that annoying Chen Tianlong, how dare he talk to my dad like that." Lin Wushuang crossed her arms, glaring ahead as she scolded.
"Wushuang..."
"Daughter..."
Lu Xiaoyu and Lin Batian quickly called out, as Lin Wushuang was unaware of what had happened after she fainted, but they knew.
If not for Chen Tianlong, perhaps Lin Wushuang would have already taken her last breath.
So hearing Lin Wushuang treat Chen Tianlong this way, the two felt instantly guilty.
"Xiaoyu, Dad, what’s wrong with you two? Chen Tianlong deserved it; he’s so arrogant for just having a bit of skill, isn’t he?" Lin Wushuang still wouldn’t concede.
"Oh oh, Wushuang, I’m a bit sleepy, I’ll go back and sleep first." Lu Xiaoyu didn’t want to say more, as even she was a bit moved by Chen Tianlong’s actions.
And Lin Batian, of course, knew his daughter was being contrary. She was outwardly domineering and rebellious but was inherently kind-hearted. Her anger towards a man meant he mattered to her.
Inside the Xu Family Mansion.
"Isn’t this poison great? Foreign stuff is just awesome; it poisons without a trace." Xu Yunfei sneered coldly. He had returned to the country specifically to deal with the Lin Family, and upon learning that Lin Wushuang was already with someone else, his heart was filled with anger.
He learned from several classmates who were with Lin Wushuang what dishes she often ate, and after researching them at home, he poisoned them.
It’s undeniable how unique this poisoning method was; if not for Chen Tianlong’s meticulous nature, it would have gone unnoticed.
"Young master, this poison is really something. I’ve heard Lin Wushuang is already at death’s door, and even the best detox doctors in the city can’t handle it. Let’s wait for tomorrow’s big news, hahaha." Speaking was Xu Yunfei’s trusted assistant, Xiaodao.
"Hmm, then let’s just wait and see the show." Xu Yunfei was very pleased with this outcome. What he couldn’t have, he had to destroy with his own hands. This was Xu Yunfei’s life motto, a kind of twisted psychology.
Around ten o’clock the next morning, Mr. Hu called Chen Tianlong, asking him to come to the Lin Group when he had time. The driver’s license he applied for last time was ready, and Chen Tianlong also needed to take the prepared card to Mr. Hu for registration; he needed a photocopy of some ID, after all, it was a legitimate company, and they needed to follow procedures.
Chen Tianlong had no objections and drove his BMW directly to the Lin Group. This was his first visit to Lin Batian’s company, and he was a bit excited.
Inside the Lin Group building.
Lin Batian sat at his desk, reading some documents. But just as he was engrossed, the landline suddenly rang, startling him. He gently patted his chest, took a deep breath to steady himself, and then asked into the phone, "Mr. Hu, what’s going on?"
"There’s a big problem; Yang Yunxi, the director of Aimei Group’s Huaxia Region, suddenly arrived in South Sea City, saying she’s here to inspect our project’s progress. What do we do? We’re not prepared at all." Mr. Hu had just received the news from Human Resources, and Lin Batian hadn’t been around, making Mr. Hu extremely anxious.
"What? An unexpected inspection, how could this be, without even informing me?" Lin Batian felt there must be something strange. Between Lin Group and Aimei Group’s cosmetics project collaboration, it was principle to inform him as the president if someone from Aimei was visiting.
"I don’t understand either." Mr. Hu was a bit helpless, then quickly changed the subject, saying, "So, what should we do next?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Batian pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, we can’t help it. We’ll just have to make do as the situation demands."
"Prepare all the presentable materials and documents and place them in the meeting room." Lin Batian instructed.
"Okay, I’ll prepare it right away." Mr. Hu didn’t delay and hung up to start taking action.
After hanging up, Lin Batian took a deep breath, his face full of helplessness. This was the person in charge of the big project in Huaxia Region; if she found the project’s documents insufficient during her visit, and reported back, the project collaboration might be doomed.
Downstairs.
As soon as Chen Tianlong arrived at the first-floor lobby, he saw several luxury cars pulling up outside. One of them left him in awe; it was a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Oh my!
Who are these people, with so much money?
Just then, security captain Wang Chang’an approached. At this moment, the Phantom’s door opened, revealing a pair of slender legs, with snow-white skin shining in the sunlight with an enticing glow.
Immediately after, the person stepped onto the ground, with a standard oval face, beautiful eyes like autumn water glistening, silky long hair cascading over perfumed shoulders, and a face so mesmerizing it drove everyone crazy.
"It’s her."
Chen Tianlong recognized her at once. Isn’t she the beauty he encountered at the bank that day? Seemed like she was called Yang Yunxi.
"Wow, I never expected the Huaxia Region General Representative of Aimei Group, Yang Yunxi, to come personally." At this moment, not far away, Liu Jinhua hurried over. Such a prominent figure couldn’t be overlooked.
This Yang Yunxi, with both beauty and talent, was the dream lover of almost every man. Liu Jinhua admired not only her beauty but also her capability.
So young yet already Aimei Group’s General Representative for the Huaxia Region, it’s a truly remarkable existence.
After Wang Chang’an escorted them to the lobby, he didn’t proceed further, as what followed was beyond his responsibilities.
At this time, Liang Chao, dressed in a neat suit and sporting a side-parted hairstyle, walked over, smiling, and said, "Welcome, Miss Yang."
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong frowned. How did these two know so much about Yang Yunxi’s arrival? Even Lin Group’s president, Lin Batian, wasn’t able to greet her, yet these two seemed well-prepared.
From the hair gel on Liang Chao’s hair, it was clear they had been preparing for this.
Liang Chao and Liu Jinhua hurriedly approached, offering every form of polite greeting and concern, showing utmost attentiveness. Yang Yunxi felt an inexplicable disgust seeing their behavior, and said, "Alright, let’s just head up directly."
Liu Jinhua smiled slightly, nodding, though there was an occasional flash of wickedness in his eyes, sizing up Yang Yunxi’s shapely figure.
Behind Yang Yunxi was her assistant Beibei, and Wang Chang’an stayed downstairs to ensure security. The group moved grandly toward the elevator.
At this moment, Yang Yunxi casually glanced around, and suddenly her gaze landed on Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong quickly turned away, not wanting Yang Yunxi to recognize him, silently worrying, "Gosh, almost got recognized. That day I snuck away. If this chick sees me, she might trouble our company."
"President Liu, I’d like this gentleman to accompany me upstairs, is that okay?" Yang Yunxi suddenly pointed in Chen Tianlong’s direction.
