"Pretend to be your boyfriend?" Lin Tian thought he had misheard and asked loudly.
"Yes!" Xiao Manxue, after twisting about before, had now recovered and decided to go for it.
Lin Tian carefully observed her expression, which seed genuine. She was a beautiful CEO who could easily have n lining up to fake-date her if she rely gestured for it.
"Give a reason." It was one thing for others to pretend, but Lin Tian wouldn’t agree without a reason.
Xiao Manxue was annoyed that Lin Tian wasn’t buying it and said, "You think I want this? The clients we’re eting are related to the newly opened jade store; she requested I bring a male companion because she’s coming with her husband to Xikou City."
"I see, let’s go then. After all, I also hold shares in the new store." Since she ntioned the client was important, they must be quite influential.
"Here’s the information for both people, take a look in the car." Xiao Manxue handed him a set of docunts and then led the way out of the office.
Throughout the journey, the staff in the building watched Lin Tian walking side by side with Xiao Manxue. Since the woman wasn’t afraid of rumors, he had nothing to fear either.
This ti Xiao Manxue drove. She was formidable, venturing out without a bodyguard. But given her status as an Ancient Martial Artist, having a bodyguard might only hold her back, especially if she had to split her attention to rescue them in a crisis.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you sothing important." As Lin Tian rembered sothing from earlier that day while the car left the parking lot, he said, "So people might co to buy the batch of jadeite raw stones in a few days. Just sell it to them at the purchase price; I’ll handle the rest."
"Did you really think of a way to handle it?" Xiao Manxue turned her head, looking at him surprisingly.
"Yes, just wait to collect the money," Lin Tian said, nodding as he looked through the docunts.
As for how he would handle it, there was no need for Lin Tian to say, as she would naturally know the Bai Family’s misfortune when it happened.
"Thank you, Lin Tian." Xiao Manxue gazed deeply at Lin Tian, suddenly leaned over, and quickly kissed him on the face.
"Miss, you’re taking advantage of ," Lin Tian said innocently, caught off guard by the sudden kiss.
Both sisters had the sa way of showing gratitude; no wonder they were siblings. The younger sister kissed the right side, the older one the left side—Lin Tian felt quite fortunate. He smirked to himself, thinking how perfect it would be to embrace them both at once one day.
"What, is that not okay? Don’t forget, you are my boyfriend now!" Xiao Manxue struggled to contain her boundless embarrassnt, her voice coy, while the drunken flush on her face betrayed her stirred emotions.
Well, forgive her then. Her lips kissed his face, and his face kissed her lips—seems he didn’t lose out, Lin Tian thought wryly.
Lowering his head, he focused on the docunts in his hands. Lin Tian, finding it troubleso, used his X-ray vision to scan them quickly, imprinting the content in his mind.
The two important clients they were about to et indeed had significant backgrounds, both hailing from Zhonghai City, which was a financial and trade hub, an international tropolis.
The woman is nad Song Yanan, aged thirty-three, not old by any ans, yet her titles were almost unbelievable. She was the Vice Chairman of the Jade Carving Association and a Jade Carving Master of the Shanghai style, while her grandfather was a grandmaster of Shanghai-style jade carving who once served as the chairman of the Jade Carving Association before retiring due to old age.
The Shanghai style of jade carving is one of the four major schools of jade carving in the country, and in the realm of jade carving, Song Yanan was the true successor of her grandfather’s skills, especially talented in carving Buddhist figures.
Her husband is nad Wan Gaoyuan, also a man of significant influence, being a jade rchant from Zhonghai City with no small scale operations. According to the information, this Wan Gaoyuan liked to gamble, though he did not bet large amounts; it was rely a hobby.
It was clear that this man had strong self-control and would not lose his nature in gambling.
"Miss, these two really co with significant backgrounds. If we can build a good relationship, we won’t have to worry about jade carvings for our new store, those are the works of a master, many tis better than machine carvings! And this Wan Gaoyuan, maybe we can even set up a branch in Zhonghai City through him," Lin Tian analyzed after reading the information.
"Exactly, Zhonghai City is a financial and trade hub with great opportunities and a large market, everyone wants to advance there. The Bai Family has been wanting to enter Zhonghai City for a while now but has never succeeded. If we beat them to it, it would be a strike against the Bai Family," Xiao Manxue revealed a hopeful expression, it seed she had spent considerable effort in arranging a eting with these two.
Every region has its local power, and it’s extrely difficult for outsiders to cut in and share the profits without local rchant support. Not to ntion Zhonghai City, where the market competition is the fiercest in the country.
As they talked, the car finally arrived at its destination, but they arrived at City Beauty Store.
Seeing Lin Tian’s confusion, Xiao Manxue explained, "Song Yanan, due to her long-term obsession with jade carving, has developed so problems with her waist. She heard that Zi Yan’s massage acupuncture is very effective and has co here a couple of tis already, it seems to have so effects, and this is her third visit."
With that, Lin Tian understood, Zi Yan’s store specialized in traditional Chinese dical beauty and wellness, and since Zi Yan and Xiao Manxue were good friends, the introduction was only natural.
However, thinking of the issues with the waist, an idea flashed through Lin Tian’s mind; perhaps his massage skills might be of use here.
The two went directly to the sixth floor, and as they entered the rest area, Lin Tian saw Zi Yan chatting with two guests, a man and a woman. However, the couple was facing away from Lin Tian, and he wasn’t sure if they were the couple from Zhonghai City.
As they walked over, Lin Tian reached out his arm, waiting for Miss to hook onto it, since they were playing the role of boyfriend and girlfriend, the act had to be complete.
Xiao Manxue stared at Lin Tian with a vexed and embarrassed blush, but she had no choice since intimate gestures were required in their boyfriend-girlfriend portrayal, and reluctantly hooked her arm through Lin Tian’s. This indeed made them look more like a couple.
You little rascal, letting you sneak an attack in the car, now no one is at a loss, Lin Tian smirked proudly.
"Sister Xiao, you’ve co, what a coincidence, Miss Song and Mr. Wan also just arrived," Zi Yan saw them approaching, gracefully stood up and greeted. When she saw Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue arm in arm, a aningful smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
Every ti he saw Zi Yan, Lin Tian felt an impulse. There’s no helping it, Zi Yan’s clothing always showcased her curvaceous figure perfectly, and that slightly mature charm was always tantalizing to the core of a man.
When the two people on the sofa turned around, Lin Tian finally saw what the important guests from the information looked like. Wan Gaoyuan was quite handso, with a calm expression and a sincere smile on his face.
Importantly, as a businessman nearing forty and still not overweight, he clearly led a disciplined life without indulgence in pleasure.
As for Song Yanan, she was even taller than her husband, probably about 5’9" tall, with a clear complexion. Quite beautiful, but her eyebrows were slightly thicker than the average woman, coupled with her smiling face, gave off an aura of grandeur. Unlike the typical won from Zhonghai, she resembled a northern beauty more.
