Chapter 104: When Drinking with a Friend, a Thousand Cups Are Not Enough

At this moment, the playful banter between the two had not escaped Ye Wudao’s notice—not that they could have denied it anyway!

Even Meng Youjing was silently cursing Lin Zifeng, calling him shameless for taking advantage of the situation and getting fresh with Huahua!

Yet, Lin Zifeng felt wronged. If I didn’t act this way, we’d definitely give ourselves away. Besides, she isn’t a fool. You say she’s my girlfriend, and that’s that? Don’t I need to show it somehow? How can we seem like a couple without any intimacy?

Damn it all! And here I thought she was some pure and innocent young maiden, but it turns out she’s just a cheap—woman!

Ye Wudao was practically fuming, his nose almost bent out of shape with irritation. This evening’s banquet had turned into a couple’s display, and they were acting all lovey-dovey right in front of him.

However, despite the multitude of objections in his mind, Ye Wudao kept up a virtuous façade and laughed, ”I wonder, Mr. Lin, where you received your prestigious education? What kind of business is under your own enterprise? Perhaps there might be an opportunity to collaborate with you someday.”

His question had a hidden meaning.

But Lin Zifeng merely laughed heartily, putting on a sorrowful act, ”Ah, prestigious education? I’m just an average Joe with a mundane job.”

”Oh!”

Ye Wudao’s interest was piqued, and he raised an eyebrow. The more understated Lin Zifeng was, the more Ye Wudao suspected.

Meanwhile, Meng Youjing was more nervous than anyone. If Lin Zifeng slipped up now, he would surely offend Ye Wudao, which could jeopardize Huahua’s stage performance, and the company might even lay the blame on her,

For this occasion, Ye Wudao was not only sponsoring Hua Buqi’s performance, but he had also invested a substantial amount of money in a cooperative project with the company. Offending him would mean,

Huahua might be fine, but the one likely to suffer would be her economic manager—that is, herself.

So, she was more anxious than anyone, desperately afraid that Lin Zifeng would reveal even the slightest flaw, not knowing how they would recover from such a misstep.

But what completely shocked Meng Youjing was that Lin Zifeng, contrary to all expectations, stated, ”I’m just a lousy security guard, living day by day, waiting to die, earning a meager salary of three thousand. How could I dare to speak of prestige!”

Lin Zifeng showed no sign of nervousness; on the contrary, he was completely indifferent, as if joking among friends.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wudao was momentarily taken aback.

Meng Youjing, on the other hand, was staring wide-eyed at the scene!

It’s over, it’s all over! This is bound to infuriate Young Master Ye. It looks like my career is heading toward its end. Why am I such a fool? Why did I choose someone like him to put on a front?

I knew he was unreliable, so why did I trust him? Had I known, I would have casually spent some money on someone to play the part of a rich heir, which would have been more convincing than him. Who is so Frank, even clearly stating his own occupation? This guy... he’s truly bizarre!

By this point, Meng Youjing was nearly at her wit’s end with mixed feelings of laughter and tears. She had seen straightforward people before, but never someone so blatantly outright. You were supposed to pretend to be a wealthy second-generation to impress others, but instead, you end up playing a security guard? Even if you were a security guard, hypothetically speaking, shouldn’t you at least demonstrate some professional integrity? I and Huahua paid you, is this how you treat your employers?

Ye Wudao was initially taken aback! It took him a moment to catch on, and then he looked over Lin Zifeng with shining, spirited eyes and laughed good-naturedly, ”Mr. Lin, you really have quite the sense of humor.”

Saying that, he gave an intentional glance to the man in black beside him.

By this time, Lin Zifeng had already let go of Hua Buqi and was looking at the full table of food. Picking up his chopsticks, Lin Zifeng tasted a bite.

”Hmm! Not bad! Really good, this is carefully selected black truffle from France, it certainly is good. It seems that Young Master Ye not only comes from a distinguished family background but also has quite the discerning taste when it comes to food!”

A vein throbbed on Ye Wudao’s forehead. Do you have any idea how expensive that is? And you just ate it in one bite?

Where the hell did this guy come from? Does Yanjing really have a Lin family?

At that moment, following Ye Wudao’s instructions, a man in black held out a glass of red wine to Lin Zifeng with a big, simple grin, ”Young Master Lin, please.”

Without hurry, Ye Wudao picked up the glass of wine, his expression unchanging, calmly speaking, ”Since Young Master Lin has already arrived, why not join Ye for a drink?”

Looking at Ye Wudao’s fair, woman-like face, Lin Zifeng didn’t hesitate and still smiled, ”Since Young Master Ye is giving me face, let’s have a drink.”

Lin Zifeng wasn’t pretentious. Since the other party had already begun to probe him, he decided to play along.

But just as he was about to take the wine glass from the man in black, Lin Zifeng noticed something was amiss.

The man in black held the wine glass tightly, unwilling to let go, and a few sly expressions flickered across his face.

”What’s wrong? Is there a problem, Young Master Lin?”

Seeing that Lin Zifeng hadn’t taken the glass, Ye Wudao chuckled darkly in his heart, thinking, I want to see if you really have the skills. Since you are a descendant of a prestigious family, you must have some abilities,

or you’re probably just some worthless trash. Humph! Dealing with trash isn’t worth my time. His naturally arrogant nature wouldn’t allow him to associate with such trash. This superiority complex comes from the mindset of being born into wealth.

However, Ye Wudao was in for a disappointment.

At this moment, Huahua and Meng Youjing were both watching the trio’s movements intently. Seeing that the man in black was deliberately making it difficult for Lin Zifeng by holding onto the wine glass tightly, the two of them also felt nervous for Lin Zifeng.

Just when the man in black thought that Lin Zifeng was about to retract his extended hand, and his face showed a hint of disdain, the next instant, Lin Zifeng’s action shocked the man in black to the core.

All one could see was Lin Zifeng’s wine glass-taking hand subtly, and silently, retracting his middle finger, then flicking it at an imperceptible speed towards the man in black’s ”Tiger’s Mouth” acupoint on his palm. Instantly, the man in black felt a tingling pain in his palm, and his grip on the wine glass immediately loosened.

All of this occurred in an instant. After receiving the wine glass, Lin Zifeng cheered Ye Wudao with a hearty smile, ”Good wine is hard to come by, so here’s to friends old and new. Let’s drink up and catch up some other time.”

As he spoke, Lin Zifeng downed the drink in one gulp.

Meanwhile, the man in black stood with his right hand behind his back, his eyes wandering in disbelief as he looked at Lin Zifeng. His palm, which Lin Zifeng had flicked, was trembling uncontrollably behind his back, showing just how powerful that strike had been.

”Oh! By the way, how’s the sponsorship deal going? Hehe, Huahua, you look so happy; has Young Master Ye agreed to sponsor you? You should thank him right away!”

Lin Zifeng chuckled, giving Hua Buqi a knowing look. The clever girl immediately stepped forward with a giggle and thanked Ye Wudao, ”Thank you for the sponsorship, Young Master Ye, I will definitely do my best, hee hee.”

After she finished, she clung to Lin Zifeng’s arm, radiating an amicable warmth.
