Although Wu Shitong was the richest man in Haijing and had great influence in the city, he humbled himself before Lin Baici.
Firstly, Lin Baici had saved his life. Moreover, the title of Nine Provinces Dragon Wing was a symbol of noble status, which, in so respects, was far more prestigious than his status as the richest man.
Wu Shitong had previously had so encounters with God Hunters, but he had never t anyone of the Dragon Wing level. He had visited Xia Hongmian several tis, but she completely ignored him.
Now, having the opportunity to et Lin Baici, such a young Nine Provinces Dragon Wing with imnse potential, Wu Shitong was naturally keen on strengthening their relationship.
Lin Baici had always been the type to reciprocate respect tis ten, so their first eting went very well.
In addition to the promised commission of two hundred million, Wu Shitong presented two extra lavish gifts.
"Lin Longyi, please give an opportunity to express my gratitude for saving my life and Captain Xia’s!"
Wu Shitong also wanted to et Xia Hongyao.
"That won’t be necessary!"
Lin Baici declined.
Seeing that Lin Baici could even make decisions on behalf of Xia Hongyao, Wu Shitong’s estimation of him soared once again.
What does it an to have the brother-in-law of Xia Hongmian, the Minister of Haijing?
At least he could walk sideways in Haijing,
without any problems.
Lin Baici politely declined Wu Shitong’s dinner invitation, but they still established a ’friendship.’ Now, if he wanted to accomplish sothing, besides relying on the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, he had his own connections as well.
The Security Bureau possessed significant power, but in certain matters, while they could get things done, the efficiency might not be as quick as getting Wu Shitong involved.
After sending Wu Shitong off, Lin Baici’s university life was uneventful in the following days, involving eating, attending lectures, and spending ti in the library.
He then realized that there were indeed very few beauties at Haijing Polytechnic. In their class, Liu Zilu was outshined by Ji Xinyan and Bai Jiao, but within the whole school, she was still above average, a solid seven out of ten. A little dressing up would make her quite attractive.
That’s why there was a self-mocking rumor among the guys that even a female dog could find a boyfriend within three days at Haijing Polytechnic.
Lin Baici recalled his childhood friend’s Haijing Normal University, where girls were really abundant, and if a guy couldn’t find a girlfriend in four years, he must be the problem.
By Friday, no one had the mood for classes anymore.
Xu Daguan was everywhere, investigating what people prepared as gifts for Bai Jiao and Liu Zilu, particularly focusing on Qian Jiahui because he was the wealthiest and most extravagant one who wouldn’t care at all about any birthday gift capped at one hundred yuan.
Of course, those boys who wanted to leave a good impression on the girls definitely wouldn’t follow the crowd.
Saturday afternoon, three o’clock, in front of the school gate.
When Lin Baici strolled over, quite a few people had already gathered.
"Old White!"
Hu Wenwu wanted to call out, but others beat him to it.
"Old White, why are you just arriving?"
"Old White!"
"Damn, how do you look so handso even in casual clothes?"
Hu Wenwu, noticing how Lin Baici often skipped classes yet still had so many people eager to talk to him, couldn’t help but genuinely envy his popularity.
"Empty-handed, what’s going on?"
Zhang Zhixu looked Lin Baici up and down: "Where’s your gift?"
"Old White isn’t a stingy person, so his gift should be in his pocket, but there’s no bulge suggesting it’s small."
Chen Kaiwei speculated, "Could it be a ring or necklace?"
"Whoa, Old White, are you going to confess to Liu Zilu?"
Yang Zhe was shocked, a touch of nervousness flashing in his eyes.
"Wow, could I be that obvious?"
Lin Baici feigned surprise.
"Huh? You’re really planning to confess?"
Yang Zhe spoke so fast he bit his tongue.
"I noticed a long ti ago that Liu Zilu likes you. This could work out!"
Zhang Zhixu rubbed his hands together, excited to witness a romantic confession.
"Why not choose Bai Jiao?"
Lei Bo didn’t understand.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu smirked slightly, thinking that Lin Baici wasn’t worthy.
In university, most students hadn’t grasped the intricacies of social dynamics. They were clueless, for instance, Lei Bo’s question was quite offensive, yet everyone followed up.
"Because I’m joking!"
Lin Baici glanced at Yang Zhe, who visibly relaxed after hearing this, confirming Lin’s belief that Yang Zhe liked Liu Zilu.
"You’re really not considering it? Liu Zilu genuinely likes you!"
Chen Kaiwei continued.
"Old White definitely isn’t interested in Liu Zilu!"
Li Jianan blurted out, "He already has Zhu Qiunan!"
"It’s not that I look down on Liu Zilu. I’m just not into that type, the sa way I’m not into Zhu Qiunan!"
Lin Baici felt exasperated and thought, Li Jianan, do you not consider other people’s feelings when you speak?
If a comnt like that got out, about him looking down on Liu Zilu or whatever, it would have significant repercussions.
At the very least, it would make both Liu Zilu and the guys wanting to pursue her lose face.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yang Zhe let out a relieved breath, realizing it wasn’t that the girl he liked was unworthy, they just weren’t compatible.
"Then what type do you like?"
Zhang Zhixu asked, "Like Ji Xinyan?"
"I like older won, the kind that saves twenty years of struggle!"
Lin Baici joked around.
Zhang Zhixu imdiately recalled the other day when a beautiful older woman driving a Cullinan, no not that, a Cullinan, picked up Lin Baici at the school gate.
