The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094: Tong’s Change

Jiang Pan Die truly loved this drink; she had already sipped it several times, feeling like every pore on her body was breathing, it was indescribably refreshing.

”Bro.” Someone called out, it was the bartender from earlier.

Lin Tian looked at him, ”What’s up?”

The bartender placed the five bills back on the table in his hand, grinning obsequiously, ”Bro, can you teach me that trick? Oh, I’ll cover your drinks tonight!”

Lin Tian chuckled in surprise, glanced at the money on the table, but did not reach for it.

”There’s nothing I can teach you. You saw it, I was just winging it, shaking the drink randomly.” Lin Tian said.

”...” The bartender was almost choked by the words, this was pure nonsense! Shaking randomly could result in something like this? If you were serious, wouldn’t you win a world championship?

”Bro, you just think it’s not enough money, right? I’ll offer two thousand, just teach me the trick, okay?” The bartender asked.

”...”

”Five thousand!” the bartender said through gritted teeth.

Lin Tian adjusted his suit collar, asking, ”Do I look like someone who lacks money?”

Seeing the bartender’s confused look, Lin Tian realized it was pointless to ask him. He probably didn’t know, just like LuuYong, that this was a custom-made suit.

Seeing Lin Tian unwilling to teach him, the bartender sighed lightly and asked again, ”Then can I have a drink? I’ll cover your drinks tonight. And return this five hundred to you.”

”Sure.” Lin Tian nodded, not doing this kind of business would be foolish.

...

With that full glass, Jiang Pan Die only drank half and was already drunk, yet insisted she wasn’t.

And this was with her good alcohol tolerance; if it were someone else, they would have been snoring away a long time ago. Some girls are just like that, able to drink a lot.

Lin Tian called a cab, taking Jiang Pan Die back to the hotel. Luckily, she still remembered her room. But she didn’t have the room card on her, only Tong was in the room.

Lin Tian let Jiang Pan Die hold onto him, then rang the room bell twice.

Soon, the door opened. Tong, dressed in casual wear, looked at the two people reeking of alcohol in front of her, and frowned, ”Did you get the wrong room?”

”Tong, it’s me,” Jiang Pan Die slurred, ”I’m wearing a mask, don’t you remember?”

Tong’s expression changed upon hearing the voice, then like a mother hen guarding her chick, she rushed over, pulling Jiang Pan Die from Lin Tian’s embrace, warily looking at Lin Tian.

”Tong, you are still hostile towards me.” Lin Tian said with a wry smile.

Tong looked at the man’s face in front of her, unsure, ”You are... Lin Tian?”

”Heh, it’s me.” Lin Tian said, ”I brought her back, you take care of her, I’ll be off now.”

”Hey...” Tong hesitated for a moment, then said, ”Why don’t you come in and have a seat since you’re already here?”

”Hmm?”

Lin Tian looked puzzled, he distinctly remembered that Tong and he didn’t get along well before, it was already good not to be kicked out, how come she’s inviting him in now?

”Lin Tian, Tong already asked you to come in, so why are you lingering outside?” Jiang Pan Die slurred, ”We haven’t finished chatting yet.”

”Come in for some tea to sober up?” Tong suggested.

”Alright.” Lin Tian nodded, following them in, he could tell Tong had something to say to him.

Once inside, Jiang Pan Die slipped out of Tong’s hold, sprawling sloppily on the sofa, hugging a pillow with a very satisfied look.

”Pan Die! Lin Tian is still here!” Tong whispered to remind her.

”It’s alright, he’s not an outsider.” Jiang Pan Die replied unconcernedly.

”...”

It hadn’t even been a day, and he’s not an outsider? What, are you his insider then?

”Lin Tian, you sit for a bit, I’ll get you two some tea.” Tong said.

”Tong, bring me a bottle of milk, that works for sobering up too, I won’t drink the tea.” Jiang Pan Die shouted.

Lin Tian also sat on the sofa, only half a meter away from Jiang Pan Die, perfect for whispering.

”Pan Die, why is Tong suddenly being so nice to me? She wasn’t like this last time.” Lin Tian asked quietly. Jiang Pan Die had been out with him all day, and came back smelling of alcohol, shouldn’t Tong be interrogating first? Why go make tea?

Jiang Pan Die hugged the pillow, thought for a moment, and said, ”I don’t know either, maybe she found out you’re a shareholder of the Bai Family and Qiansimei.”

With this, Lin Tian immediately understood. Tong was fearful of offending him, maybe even trying to curry favor. After all, a shareholder of the Bai Family and Qiansimei was no small potato.

Quickly, Tong brought a cup of brewed milk in front of Jiang Pan Die, then placed the tea in front of Lin Tian, saying, ”This is kuding tea, though a bit bitter, it’s good for the body.”

”Thank you.” Lin Tian nodded in gratitude. Truth be told, he could use Spiritual Qi to sober up, whether the tea worked or not didn’t matter, but since it’s already made, it would be disrespectful not to drink it.

Lin Tian took a sip of the tea, seeing Tong seemingly having something to say as she sat quietly to the side.

”Tong, if you have something to say, just say it, it’s awkward now that I’m here with you speaking so little.” Lin Tian chuckled.

”Heh, let me just ask then...” Tong laughed awkwardly, ”Actually, it’s nothing much, just wanted to know what Pan Die was up to today. You know she’s a celebrity, if there’s any negative press, we could prepare early, right?”

”How could there be any negative news?” Jiang Pan Die said, ”I was wearing a mask, no one could recognize me.”

Tong said with exasperation, ”Pan Die, I’m not against you going out with Lin Tian, but at least give me a heads-up, okay? Plus, your phone was off all day, we were about to go crazy looking for you!”

”Tong, I’m sorry, I just felt too suffocated and wanted to relax a bit.”

Jiang Pan Die moved next to Tong, smiling, ”Actually, I was out discussing a collaboration with Lin Tian today.”

”What collaboration? How come I didn’t know about it?”

”I’m just going to endorse Qiansimei, it was just finalized, now I’m telling you, right?”

Tong’s expression changed. ”You didn’t sign any contract, did you?”

Jiang Pan Die shook her head.

”Pan Die, Pan Die, it’s not that I’m scolding you... Such a big matter, how can you discuss it by yourself? It’s only because of your high popularity that the company would go along with your decisions otherwise. Notify the company in advance for such collaborations in the future, alright?” Tong advised earnestly.

”Don’t worry, Tong, I had already mentioned it to Mr. Tan, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to make a decision without prior notice.” Jiang Pan Die laughed.

”That’s good then.” Tong glanced at Lin Tian, asking, ”Is everything settled?”

Jiang Pan Die nodded, ”Everything’s settled, now just drafting the contract and signing it is left.”
