"Pfft!" Lin Mu's words made Fei Xiaoyu burst out laughing.
This Lin Mu is certainly domineering, not giving Zhu Yawen any face at all.
After all, Zhu Yawen was considered a beauty and a popular strear on Douyin with countless fans. She was wearing a low-cut black tank top that revealed a sliver of her flat stomach, paired with hot pants so short they could barely be called shorts. Her fair skin, her pair of long, straight legs, her gorgeous face, and her unique aura all combined to give her a captivating charm.
How many n dread of being personally invited to dinner by a beautiful strear like her? And Lin Mu actually rejected her? Not only did he reject her, he rudely told her to get lost? If this ever got out online, wouldn't Zhu Yawen's millions of fans fla him to death?
Seeing the mocking looks on many faces, Zhu Yawen's face flushed an even deeper shade of red. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to start crying.
"How could you say that? I was kind enough to invite you to dinner. It's one thing to refuse, but why do you have to humiliate ?" Zhu Yawen said, wiping at her eyes as she teetered on the verge of tears. "What did I do to offend you? Why are you treating like this?"
To an outsider, it would have looked as if Lin Mu had done sothing terrible to her.
"Shut up!" Lin Mu didn't fall for her act. "You have one minute to get out of my sight," he said coldly. "Otherwise, don't bla for being ruthless."
How could I not know what she's up to? She ca here with Yu Fei and the others to set a trap for , planning to expose supposed problems with Coiling Dragon Bay online. They even set up a huge screen in front of the property to livestream everything. A good idea, but unfortunately for her, she's dealing with .
"You..." Zhu Yawen looked even more aggrieved as tears finally stread down her face. "Don't you have any decency? Don't you know how to cherish a woman? How can you bully a girl like this?"
Hearing Zhu Yawen's resentful sobs, even the tycoons in the crowd began to look at Lin Mu strangely. Could there really be so unspeakable secret between him and this beautiful strear?
However, Lin Mu was not feeling courteous. "Cherish a woman?" he sneered. "You're not worthy of the word."
"You... You're taking this too far!" Zhu Yawen flared up in anger. To be humiliated like this in front of so many people... When had she ever been treated this way? Ever since she beca famous on Douyin, she had been treated like a princess by her fans. n were constantly bending over backward to please her. And yet this Lin Mu had the gall to humiliate her in public.
"Hmph!" Lin Mu said coldly, "Where was this attitude when you and Wang Yu tead up to sar Coiling Dragon Bay? Where was it when you set up that screen right in front of my property? Now that I have the upper hand and you realize you can't afford to provoke , you suddenly expect to give you face? Where do you get the nerve?"
Lin Mu's words felt like a series of slaps across Zhu Yawen's face, making her unable to lift her head. She had many fans, but everything she had just done had been broadcast live. The internet was now hailing Lin Mu as a great benefactor; everyone could judge for themselves who was right and who was wrong.
At that thought, Zhu Yawen could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs. She was aggrieved, but more than that, she was terrified. Lin Mu's influence was simply too great now.
"Your minute is up. Get lost." Lin Mu didn't spare her another glance. He had no desire to waste another word on a woman like her.
Zhu Yawen bit her lip, glaring at Lin Mu with deep resentnt. This man... why is he so hateful!
Zhu Yawen had intended to go online and cry to her followers, but when she opened her streaming app, her face went ashen. Her follower count was plumting. Even the comnts that remained were all criticizing her for being shaless and for trying to sar a young philanthropist.
"Unfollowed!"
"Figures these strears are all trash! To think she'd even try to sar our Great Benefactor Lin! I'm reporting her!"
As the reports flooded in, Zhu Yawen's channel was shut down. A mont later, she received a call from the streaming platform. Her contract had been terminated.
THUD!
Zhu Yawen collapsed to the ground, her face a mask of shock and regret. She was filled with it! She regretted coming here with Yu Fei and the others to target Lin Mu. She knew this was all because of Lin Mu. Nowadays, he wasn't just a major figure in Jiangling, but across all of Handong Province.
Yu Fei, Wen Xiaojuan, and the others hadn't dared to linger; they had scurried away long ago.
That day, sales at Coiling Dragon Bay reached an astonishing six billion yuan, equivalent to several hundred thousand per minute. And these billions were almost pure profit, since the Qin Corporation had originally acquired the massive project for the bargain price of only three hundred million. Subsequent investnts had been negligible. Otherwise, no matter the circumstances, Qin Luoli would never have been able to simply give such a massive project to Lin Mu. Of course, at this point, Lin Mu and Qin Luoli were inseparable. What was his was hers.
It was late when Lin Mu finally got a chance to breathe. It wasn't just him; the entire staff of Coiling Dragon Bay was exhausted. Song Wenrou and the other won collapsed onto a sofa, too tired to even speak. The crowds today had been overwhelming. Even though they were only responsible for signing contracts and not promotion, their arms were numb from the work. Even Xu Yao had been drafted to help and was now whining about how tired she was.
Coiling Dragon Bay wasn't a gimmick; it was the real deal. Anyone with the money was now trying to buy a property there. After all, the place was simply magical. The sheer number of people ant that even Lin Mu was struggling to keep up.
"Alright, everyone is exhausted today," Lin Mu said with a smile to the weary staff. "Once we're through this busy period, I'll treat everyone to a big al. Of course, for today, I'm sending everyone a red envelope as a small token of my appreciation. Please be sure to accept it."
He called it a small token, but when they received their red envelopes, they were stunned.
"One... one hundred thousand?" Xu Yao stamred, staring at the transfer notification on her phone. "Brother Mu, this... this is way too much, isn't it?"
"What are you talking about, you silly girl?" Lin Mu said, feigning annoyance. "Yours includes your allowance from . The others didn't get as much."
"Oh. Okay, that's good then." Xu Yao sighed in relief, but then it hit her. "Wait, an allowance... of one hundred thousand? That's still way too much!"
Lin Mu patted Xu Yao's head. "You're my little sister," he said affectionately. "Isn't it my job to give you money?"
He would always rember how Xu Yao's family had spoken up for his mother when their grandfather passed away. Besides, Xu Yao was his sister. He naturally felt a duty and responsibility to take care of her.
"Brother Mu..." Overwheld with emotion, Xu Yao threw her arms around Lin Mu and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.
"Alright, all of you head ho and get so rest. The next few days are going to be just as busy."
Lin Mu knew today was only the beginning. Coiling Dragon Bay was going to be swamped for a while, and he had other matters to attend to as well.
