Chapter 47: Party Begins
It was evening and the mansion of the Lin Family was already decorated. Important people from all the Eastern Sea City came to the party.
” Haha, Mr. Lin, you really made a big turnover this year. Congratulations.”
” Oh, It’s nothing, Mr. Zhu. What am I aiming is to get the land near the Northern Hills.”
” Hoho, Quite ambitious I see. But, It won’t be easy to win the auction.”
” That’s why I need your support.”
Suddenly, The man’s gaze shone as he looked at the entrance.
” Father, I am here.”
” Oh, My sweetie! You are finally here!”
No matter how cold and cunning Lin Cheng could be, he always had a soft spot for his daughter, Lin Mei.
” I heard you got the fifth position in yesterday’s test. Yet you didn’t inform me?”
” Why would I?” Lin Mei spoke in an air of pleasure and arrogance. “It’s just fifth position, what’s so big about it?”
” Hahah! Good! I guess it’s my fault for belittling my daughter’s ability.” Li Cheng rubbed under his nose.
” Anyway, This boy…”
” Greetings, Mr. Lin, I am Jia Hao, a friend of Lin Mei.”
Jia Hao wore a black suit, perfectly matching Lin Mei’s long flowing green dress.
” Uh, Yes. Dad, he is the one who helped me to secure fifth position during the test.”
” Haha! I see. So you are the one who is helping my daughter in her study, eh?”
Lin Cheng was surprised for a moment before laughing lightly.
” Xiao Hao, I hope you can help my daughter even more. It’s truly my wish to see her pass the University Exam in flying colors.”
” Of course, How can I not help Lin Mei? She loves my help at all.”
Hearing Jia Hao’s words with a hidden undertone, Lin Mei’s face turned red. Of course, she knew Jia Hao would do everything with her other than helping her in the study.
” Oh my, Is that Lin Mei? She is looking so pretty.”
” Who is that boy next to him? He is also looking pretty handsome.”
” Jia Hao, come with me…I will introduce you to some others.” Lin Mei held Jia Hao and led her away, making him introduce to some of her friends.
All of them were shocked when they saw Lin Mei introducing a boy.
” Wow, To think Lin Mei would introduce a boy to u s.”
” Hehe, What happebned, Mei? Have you finally fallen in love?”
” Love? Hmph, Why do you care?” Lin Mei blushed as she snorted. ” We are just friends.”
” Yeah, Just friends.”
” Don’t worry, we won’t taint your friendship.”
Lin Mei bit her lips in indignation when no one believed her.Meanwhile, Jia Hao easily talked with other guests attending the party.
Even those who were officers of high rank or businessmen couldn’t help but get intrigued by the eloquency of Jia Hao.
Lin Cheng naturally noticed that from afar as he couldn’t help but get curious also.
‘ Not bad, He does have some abilities. But what if he is trying tr trap my sweetie?’
‘ Should I do a background check on him?’
” Huh? Hao’er?”
Jia Hao turned around and saw it was none other than Su Yunqi
” Aunt Su, You are also here?” Jia Hao was a bit surprised.
‘ Eh? I thought she rarely came to such parties like that. I wasn’t expecting her here though?’ He thought inwardly.
” Of course, I thought it would be too bad if I decline Mr Lin Cheng’s invitation.” Su Yunqi smiled lightly.
” But what are you doing here?”
” Hoho, I didn’t thought Xiao Hao is the nephew of Miss Su.” Lin Cheng walked forward as he laughed lightly.
” Ah, You know Hao’er, Mr Lin?” Su Yunqi asked with a strange voice.
” He is the friend of my daughter and she invited him here. He also helped her in study.”
” Ah, Then it’s good. Hao’er is pretty talented child indeed.” Su Yunqi laughed lightly as she gently caressed his head.
” You got a pretty aunt, Xiao Hao. She is one of the leading businesswomen in Eastern Sea City.” Lin Cheng chuckled.
” Well, I am flattered. However, it falls pale compared to Mr. Lin’s influence.” Su Yunqi replied politely.
” Hoho, How amusing. I didn’t expect to see Miss Su here.”
Jia Hao’s expression twitched violently when he saw the new person.
” Ah, Look who it is. Mr Li Tao, Welcome.”
Lin Cheng looked at Li Tao and nodded. ” Your Qingzhu Jewellary made quite some profit, eh?”
” Not quite as Blue Stone Company of Miss Su.” Li Tao smiled as he looked at Su Yunqi. ” She really got her hands on some high quality jades. Those jades are probably going to the best jades of this season across the Tianshu Nation.”
” Oh, Mr. Li, You are overpraising me. Let’s just say…I really had a good appraiser with me.” Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao and winked, making Jia Hao amused.
” Ah, We shouldn’t just get all focused in business here. I hope you enjoy this party.” Lin Cheng turned around and left.
” Haha, Miss Su, How about we go and talk about a new deal?”
” Mr. Li, I have already told you that I might not do any more deal with you. As for the ten million yuan, I already paid it back.” Su Yunqi spoke in a flat voice.
” Ah, Miss Su, You are making this awkward for me. How there could be things like debt between our groups?” Li Tao grinned.
” However, I have a deal which you might show some interest. After all, if it’s successful, the yield might be over three hundred million Yuan.”
” That’s quite a lot.” Su Yunqi was surprised. ” Well, If you say so…”
” Haha, I knew it. Miss Su truly knows where she can profit the most.” Li Tao chuckled as he showed Su Yunqi the way.
Jia Hao didn’t stopped him, but a cold grin appeared on
” Here, We can talk in the private room.” Li Tao led Su Yunqi inside the room.
” Waiter, Two drinks, Please. A red wine for madam and a glass of scotch for me.”
” Ah, No, I won’t drink.” Su Yunqi shook her head. Li Tao nodded. ” Then, How about a little spiciy Lime Soda?”
” Erm…That should be fine.” Su Yunqi nodded.
” So, I would like to purchase some jade pieces you recently got, Miss Su.”
” Oh? If you want to simply buy, we can negotiate on the price.” Su Yunqi nodded.
Soon, the waiter arrived with the drinks. However, as Su Yunqi raised the glass, a waiter came inside the room once again.
” Mr. Li, Mr. Lin Cheng is looking for you.”
” What?”
Li Tao’s expression twitched when he heard that. ” I am a little busy here, you see?”
” Mr. Lin said it’s urgent.”
” This…fuck!”
Li Tao grumbled as he got up.
” Miss Su, I hope you please wait for me. We can share drink afterwards, no?”
” Sure, Mr. Li.” Su Yunqi nodded as she saw Li Tao leaving. However, when he left, Jia Hao entered swiftly inside.
” Aunt Su, Don’t drink that.”
