450: Chapter 446: Trouble with a Woman (11th Update!) 450: Chapter 446: Trouble with a Woman (11th Update!) Cao Dongye and the others had just stepped out of the office when a furious roar suddenly ca from outside.
“Cao Dongye, do you have a death wish?
I already called your company earlier, telling you to drop the acquisition of Tianzi Group, and you still have the nerve to show up!
If you want to die, don’t drag down with you!”
The shocked and furious shout resonated through the entire floor.
“Hmph, Master Muu of Black Spirit Platform!
It’s Black Spirit Platform that you should be managing!
Real Person Zhen only instructed you to use Black Spirit Platform’s resources to assist our Gale Group in establishing a firm foothold in Huaxia!”
At the sa ti, Cao Dongye’s disdainful voice ca from outside, “Gale Group and Black Spirit Platform are both under Real Person Zhen’s control.
You have no right to order around!”
With that said, Cao Dongye departed.
“You… you… just wait until your doom is upon you.
Even if Real Person Zhen intervenes, it’ll be too late to save you!”
Muu was both shocked and furious, but it was clear that Cao Dongye didn’t take his words seriously.
Muu then hurried towards the office, his steps hasty and panicked.
“Muu, go back and speak with Sikou Zhen.
Tell him to deal with this!
If he’s late, and Gale Group in Huaxia District disappears, he can’t bla for it!
Get lost!”
Before Muu could even enter, Lin Tian had already issued a cold reprimand.
Hearing the scolding from outside, Lin Tian could already tell who it was.
The rapidly approaching Muu, hearing the sound of Lin Tian’s voice, nearly stumbled and fell to the floor.
“Yes!”
Barely steadying himself, Muu responded respectfully and hurriedly turned to leave, all while thinking to himself that Cao Dongye was damn lucky to have left alive.
“Who was that just now?”
After Muu had left, Xu Tangge looked on, puzzled.
“Muu, from Black Spirit Platform!
Don’t bother with this matter anymore; I will handle it!”
Lin Tian shook his head with a faint smile.
As Mooo Xiaoyan stood up with a smile, she said, “Black Spirit Platform?
I heard they’ve already begun to whitewash.
I think they were even considering acquiring Baiying Group before… Speaking of this matter, I almost forgot, the cooperative project with Baiying Group is now gradually on track.
I need to take the docunts to Sister Wan, who is responsible for communicating with Baiying Group’s people!
I’ll bring you a copy later, Age, for your review!”
After Xiaoyan left, Lin Tian hesitated for a mont, then said to Xu Tangge, “I’m thinking of going ho next week, is that okay?”
“Ah… that soon!”
Xu Tangge looked surprised, her face turning red with nervousness as she thought about eting Lin Tian’s parents, “How about next weekend?
Give so ti to prepare.
I also need to buy gifts for your aunt and uncle.
I have to pick them out carefully!”
“Then next weekend it is!”
Lin Tian nodded slightly, feeling a mix of excitent and inexplicable nervousness at the thought of going ho, along with an indefinable trepidation.
In his past life, he had grown up lonely and friendless, wandering the streets, begging, living in a world where life was as cheap as grass, rely hoping to keep breathing.
Lin Tian, having never felt his parents’ love, was eager to return ho and yet frightened.
While Lin Tian’s thoughts were drifting, his mobile phone rang.
Taking it out, he saw an unfamiliar number and, after a mont’s hesitation, he answered.
A playful voice ca from the other end, “Lin Tian, guess who I am?”
Yan Xinyue!
Recognizing the sowhat familiar voice, Lin Tian rembered her right away and said with a smile, “Is that you, Sister Yue, what’s up?”
“Smart little guy, recognizing right away!
That ans you’ve rembered Sister Yue well!”
Yan Xinyue said with a playful laugh, then continued, “Can I treat you to dinner tonight?
Hehe, this is the first ti Sister Yue has taken the initiative to ask a guy out for dinner.
Don’t disappoint !”
Glancing at Xu Tangge, who sat nonchalantly at the office desk reviewing docunts, Lin Tian asked with a hint of confusion, “Sister Yue, what made you think of inviting for dinner?”
“Do I need a reason to invite you to dinner?
But, I’m leaving next week, so this is to thank you for spending ti with drinking last ti.”
Yan Xinyue chuckled before her tone turned serious.
“Alright!
Sister Yue, please send the address later!”
Lin Tian realized that the caller was about to leave and guessed she was probably heading back to Yanjing.
He couldn’t help asking, “Sister Yue, how did you get my number?”
“You forgot?
After hooking up with my daughter?
She returned to Yanjing two days ago!”
Yan Xinyue said indignantly, then hung up the phone.
So it was Yan Xiaole!
Lin Tian shook his head slightly and turned to Xu Tangge, saying, “A friend has invited to dinner tonight!”
“Great, this evening I’ll just sort sothing out with Xiao Yan and the others!”
Xu Tangge just glanced at Lin Tian, didn’t ask further, and smiled in response.
That evening,
Lin Tian followed the address given by Yan Xinyue to a place called Xiaoqiao Restaurant.
The restaurant, true to its na, was small but exquisite and tranquil, nestled in a serene environnt.
In front of the restaurant, right by the street, there was a man-made river with a crescent bridge spanning over it.
Crossing the crescent bridge, one could see a row of bamboo groves.
As the sumr breeze blew, it carried the creaking sounds of the bamboo.
Among the bamboo, there were three paths leading from the crescent bridge, all paved with cobblestones and winding through the groves to a classical building just three stories high.
“He sure knows how to pick a place!”
Looking around at the environnt, Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the classical building.
Yan Xinyue had booked a spot on the second floor.
As soon as Lin Tian walked upstairs, he saw her sitting by the window.
She sat quietly by herself, one hand propping her snowy chin, gazing out at the swaying bamboo groves, with a slight frown on her brows, seemingly lost in thought.
Lin Tian walked over and sat down opposite her, smiling and saying, “Sister Yue, what’s on your mind?
It’s rare to see you so quiet!”
“You’re here!”
Yan Xinyue snapped back to reality, turned her head, and on her face, the usual playful and jovial expression was gone.
Instead, a warm smile unfolded, her cheeks tinted with a shy red as she apologized, “Did I embarrass myself that day, going crazy after drinking?
I’m sorry for troubling you to take ho.”
“No problem, you were just under a lot of pressure!
I couldn’t believe it when I found out that Sister Yue is actually the mayor of Bin City!”
Looking at Yan Xinyue, who was elegantly made up today, with poised manners and a gentle smile, Lin Tian felt slightly bewildered, unable to discern which was the real Yan Xinyue, the one he’d seen drunk or the one before him now.
Pausing for a mont, Lin Tian continued, “How about Xiaole?
Why did she head back to Yanjing alone?”
“As for being the mayor… let’s not even talk about it, I’m handing it over in a few days anyway.
As for Xiaole, she said she doesn’t want to see you!”
Yan Xinyue gave Lin Tian a aningful look and then signaled for the waiter to start ordering, “Lin Tian, order whatever you want, it’s my treat tonight!
The food here is tasty, quite distinctive…”
“Then I won’t hold back!”
Lin Tian chuckled and took the nu, but ultimately, he casually ordered a few dishes as a re formality.
Before the food arrived, the two of them chatted over tea about all sorts of family and trivial matters.
“Lin Tian, I need to run to the restroom!”
Soon, Yan Xinyue seed a bit uncomfortable, grabbed her mobile phone hastily, and excused herself with a quick word, then hurried toward the restroom.
But within two minutes, Yan Xinyue called him, and Lin Tian was taken aback upon answering.
The woman had forgotten her purse and explained that there was no one in the restroom, asking him to bring it to her.
“A woman around ans trouble is bound to be found!”
Lin Tian realized sothing.
Having no choice, he picked up the purse and made for the restroom.
