Chapter 514: A New Level of Handsome
Tian Ming was driving, and Wu Yong was sitting in the front passenger seat.
Lin Tian was sitting in the back with Bai Shishi.
At this moment, Lin Tian was holding the contract he had just signed, looking at it over and over as if he couldn’t get enough of it. His smile was almost reaching his ears.
Bai Shishi chuckled coolly, "Haven’t you seen enough? You’ve flipped through it a dozen times already. If you keep looking, you’ll tear it apart."
Lin Tian chuckled without saying anything.
Lin Tian wasn’t particularly interested in Global Department Store and Energy Research Center, but that herbal company was finally in his hands. With herbs bought from all over the world at high prices, what kind of elixir couldn’t be made?
At this point, Wu Yong turned his head and said slyly, "Tian, Miss Bai is upset. Is the contract more attractive than her?"
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll cut your tongue out when we get back." Bai Shishi glared at Wu Yong, but instead of scaring him, it made him laugh even more.
"Hey, by the way. What are you planning to do about Du Dahai and that hitman?" Bai Shishi nudged Lin Tian with her elbow.
In fact, she didn’t care much about it; she was just starting a conversation. She thought Wu Yong wasn’t wrong at all. Is the contract better looking than me? Such a blockhead!
Lin Tian put down the contract, thought for a while, and then said, "Let’s have them interrogated first. If they don’t spill anything, I’ll hand these two over to a friend of mine who’s a cop. Just catching Du Dahai is a major accomplishment."
Bai Shishi squinted her eyes, looking at Lin Tian playfully, "Are you talking about Xu Ning’an?"
They had met in the hospital, and it was quite an awkward situation. Plus, the other party was a stunning beauty; it’s hard not to remember her.
Lin Tian was taken aback for a second, then nodded, "Yeah, don’t get me wrong; we’re just friends."
Bai Shishi let out a soft hum, with a hint of displeasure, "You don’t need to explain to me. So, what exactly is your relationship with her?"
Lin Tian could only let out a helpless smile. Just after saying there’s no need to explain, she’s asking again. Women’s hearts are indeed unpredictable.
"We’re just ordinary friends, and if there’s anything else, it’s just the relationship between a cop and a good citizen. That’s all." Lin Tian puffed out his chest, looking like a gentleman.
Bai Shishi pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word. No one knew what she was really thinking.
Anyway, Lin Tian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, a bit guilty, but didn’t know why?
Could it be because of the ambiguous incident after Xu Ning’an got drunk that day?
...
Wu Yong proposed a celebration with Miss Bai footing the bill. Having just acquired three major companies, Bai Shishi had no objections.
The car drove all the way to the beach, planning to hold a small party right there. They booked an open-air venue. Various drinks and equipment were quite complete.
Barbecue grills, karaoke station, sound system, pool table, table football...
Besides the four people in the car, there were also Mei Ruyan, Xiao Yi, and several other brothers, Pang Yu, Scarface, Monkey, Eagle Eye, and others.
In total, there were more than thirty people, including some stunning beauties in revealing outfits, all invited by Wu Yong. Lin Tian couldn’t figure out when he met so many beauties, considering he was quite shy in high school.
According to Wu Yong, "Lin Tian has Miss Bai and Mei with him, what fun can we guys have? Without inviting some girls, we’d rather go back and play video games."
The speakers played deafening DJ tracks, and Wu Yong, Pang Yu, Xiao Yi, and others were holding bottles of cocktails, partying it up among a group of girls, feeling the refreshing sea breeze.
As for Lin Tian, he wasn’t joining them but was instead by the drinks rack setting up a barbecue grill.
Looking at the happy crowd, he suddenly felt a bit dazed, recalling that nightclub diva from before, a name etched in his heart that could never be erased — Leng Ningxue.
A very cold name, and a very cold woman. But thinking of her gave Lin Tian a warm feeling inside.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You’re about to burn my chicken wings."
Mei Ruyan’s somewhat cool voice snapped him back to reality.
Lin Tian chuckled, picked up the already slightly charred chicken wings, and infused them with some Spiritual Qi, saying, "Try it. My skills are top-notch."
Mei Ruyan sat on the bar stool, the gunshot wound on her hand had almost healed, the sling had been removed, and the wound had scabbed over.
She wore a low-cut white shirt, and black stockings on her legs, exuding a mature charm.
Mei Ruyan took the chicken wing, looking at the burnt meat, and furrowed her delicate brows, "Is this edible?"
"I guarantee it’s edible, with top-notch flavor," Lin Tian said, patting his chest. It’s no joke, with Spiritual Qi, how could it not taste good?
Seeing his demeanor, Mei Ruyan relaxed her eyebrows and said, "If you dare to trick me, you’re done for."
With that, Mei Ruyan took a small bite, and her eyes immediately squinted in satisfaction.
"How’s the taste?" Bai Shishi propped her cheek with one hand, holding a wine glass with the other, curiously watching Mei Ruyan.
Mei Ruyan nodded twice, then turned to Lin Tian, "Not bad, bring a few more over."
Lin Tian placed the grilled skewers on a plate, then set them on the bar counter.
Meanwhile, he grabbed a few bottles of liquor from the drinks rack, then casually grabbed a cocktail shaker, threw in a few ice cubes.
He closed his eyes, imagining the scene when Leng Ningxue made cocktails. Holding a bottle in each hand, he flicked his thumb, effortlessly popping the caps.
Then, in an orderly fashion, he poured the spirits into the shaker.
The liquor poured in a straight, even line, cascading into the shaker without spilling a drop, only producing the ’ka-ka’ sounds of ice blocks colliding.
Once he’d poured enough, Lin Tian grabbed the shaker and started shaking it vigorously.
"Crash, crack... crash, crack..."
A delightful sound emerged as Lin Tian’s arm shook with each shake of the cocktail shaker, mesmerizing Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan.
The shaker seemed like a sprite in Leng Ningxue’s hands, flying around with artistic flair.
But in Lin Tian’s hands, it exuded a sense of power. Each motion was smooth and sharp, occasionally tossed in the air, sometimes spinning on the table.
The fluid, flowing motions entranced both beauties.
"Pa, pa, pa..."
The cocktail shaker landed on the bar, but the ice and liquor inside continued to spin, producing those melodious sounds.
Lin Tian wrinkled his brows, dissatisfied, realizing that no matter how well he executed the moves modeled after Leng Ningxue, it lacked her distinct flavor and aura.
At this moment, Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan held their breath, silently watching Lin Tian open the shaker.
Poured into a clear wine glass, under the glow, the drink radiated a soft luminescence. What surprised them more was that the three ice cubes at the bottom of the glass were still spinning, causing the liquid to swirl, resembling a priceless piece of art.
The two women greedily inhaled the aroma, feeling intoxicated before even drinking it.
One had to admit, in their eyes, Lin Tian had reached a new height of charm.
