Therefore, Situ Hao lived a very hard life, and he didn't even dare to go home, wandering around outside all day.
After learning that Xia Yuwen knew about his situation, Situ Hao felt relieved and secretly thought that he could get along well with Lin Yao's girlfriend so that he could influence Lin Yao through her in the future, so that he wouldn't have to live a nomadic life outside all the time.
The story of extorting General Xia, told by Situ Hao, was even more touching, making Xia Yuwen laugh so hard she couldn't stand up straight. She thought to herself that Lin Yao was also quite impressive back then, daring to extort her grandfather, who had a fiery temper and was easily angered.
"Wenwen, would you like to see another play?" Lin Yao didn't want to talk too much about his medical skills, and seeing that he had covered enough ground, he quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, who are you teasing this time?" Xia Yuwen instantly understood Lin Yao's plan and looked at him with curiosity. At this moment, her blush had subsided because Situ Hao was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, which made her feel no tension.
"Wait a minute," Lin Yao told Situ Hao, who was sitting opposite him, to move to sit next to him, and then used the same trick on Zhang Zheng, who was in the distance.
As expected of a reconnaissance soldier, Zhang Zheng did not show any panic like Situ Hao. He calmly noticed Lin Yao's wave and walked over at a leisurely pace.
"Brother Lin, do you know Zhang Zheng?" Situ Hao looked at Zhang Zheng, who was walking over, with a strange tone.
"I know him. I met him once in Chongqing. He's a nice guy," Lin Yao replied, his eyes still fixed on Zhang Zheng as he approached. "What's up?"
"He's a rising star in the GA department right now. He's been transferred to Beijing, and he's in a great position. He was in charge of this nationwide crackdown on prostitution, and I heard he did an outstanding job. Now a lot of his friends have nowhere to entertain guests."
Suddenly noticing the shyness on Xia Yuwen's face, Situ Hao immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. "I'm sorry! Sister-in-law, I shouldn't have talked about some of the dirty business things. I deserve to be punished."
"You are..." Zhang Zheng walked over, not even glancing at the beauty beside him, and stared straight at Lin Yao, waiting for an answer.
"I am Lin Yao, Director Zhang. We meet again." Lin Yao stood up and extended his hand to shake hands, receiving a firm response.
"When did you arrive in Beijing? I've been transferred to the GA department now, so I'm the host here. I'll have to give you a good welcome."
Zhang Zheng reacted quickly and immediately lost his sense of unfamiliarity. He was certain that the security guards he had met in Chongqing were retired special forces soldiers, or even the highest-ranking ones, so their disguise skills were beyond question.
Having confirmed Lin Yao's identity and learned from their chance encounter in Chongqing that he was a descendant of Min Hong, Lin Yao accepted him as a brother in his heart, because Min Hong's actions would earn the respect of any soldier.
As everyone started chatting, Lin Yao introduced Zhang Zheng to Situ Hao. He had already noticed that Situ Hao wanted to get to know Zhang Zheng, and he guessed that Situ Hao was attending Zhou Xiaoqi's birthday party because of her brother-in-law.
Lin Yao understood that businessmen wanted to get to know more people in powerful departments, and of course he was willing to cooperate.
Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, a figure entering through the hall entrance caught Lin Yao's attention.
Qin Xuan is the only one left in love!
Why is he here too?!
Lin Yao couldn't help but marvel at how small the world was; he only knew a handful of people in Beijing, and almost everyone had gathered in one day.
"Don't say we've known each other before, just pretend we're meeting for the first time today. We feel like we've known each other for ages."
Lin Yao quickly gave instructions to Situ Hao and Zhang Zheng, because he had already glimpsed Qin Xuan greeting some acquaintances and walking towards him, accompanied by a delicate-looking, unfamiliar woman with a pretty face and the temperament of Gu Panpan.
Xia Yuwen covered her mouth and chuckled, "You know so many people!"
"He's an old flame, don't pay him any attention later, he's a playboy." Lin Yao said, not forgetting to tease Qin Xuan after introducing him.
Xia Yuwen glared at Lin Yao. This guy actually made himself sound so shallow. Seeing Situ Hao and Zhang Zheng looking at her with smiles on their faces, she lowered her head in embarrassment, wanting to secretly pinch Lin Yao.
Lin Yao had told Xia Yuwen the story of Qin Xuan, a man and woman with no dating experience. They didn't have much to talk about, so they often talked about trivial things and other people's stories, which led Xia Yuwen to learn about this legendary figure on the top floor of Longchang Building.
"Brother Lin, I knew you were coming back today. I often heard the Seven Fairies talk about your younger brother. I didn't expect you to arrive first."
Qin Xuan arrived before he spoke, his hearty laughter and magnetic baritone voice were very infectious.
"Situ, do you know Brother Lin?"
Upon approaching, Qin Xuan first nodded to Xia Yuwen in greeting, then nodded to Zhang Zheng, whom he didn't recognize, and finally spoke to Situ Hao with a surprised tone, clearly indicating that the two were quite familiar with each other.
"Hello, Mr. Qin. I didn't expect to see you here." Lin Yao finally had a chance to talk to Qin Xuan. They had been too far apart before, so he wanted Qin Xuan to give him a warm greeting.
"Seventh Fairy, that is, your seventh sister. She used to be a heroine in the Beijing business world, but now she's stuck in your company, which is a waste of her talent. Today is her birthday, how could I not come!"
Qin Xuan and Situ Hao were the same kind of people; when they spoke ordinary words, they were full of intonation and rich emotion. "Is this fairy-like person your girlfriend? You're so lucky!"
Lin Yao nodded.
A casual compliment can make someone feel as sweet as honey. Xia Yuwen had no choice but to ignore Lin Yao's warning and politely reply, "President Qin, you flatter me. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xia Yuwen responded with grace and poise, displaying the demeanor of a well-bred lady. Although she blushed deeply, Qin Xuan and Zhang Zheng, who are adept at judging people, immediately began to look at her with new respect.
"This girl's identity is not simple," Qin Xuan thought to himself, and he became even more curious about Lin Yao.
Previously, when Lin Yao grabbed two diners by the neck at the "Shu Kingdom Champs-Élysées" hot pot restaurant, his disdainful demeanor aroused Qin Xuan's curiosity. He went over to greet him and try to understand him, but found that Lin Yao behaved differently, just like an ordinary worker.
Seeing Xia Yuwen next to Lin Yao now makes Lin Yao seem even more mysterious. Moreover, there is also Situ Hao with another man he doesn't know but whose status is obviously not low. So he has the idea of investigating further.
"Come on, Casanova, sit down. You've been the only one talking since we arrived. Sit down and talk slowly." Situ Hao stood up and made way for Lin Yao, sitting closer to him.
Lin Yao thought Situ Hao was really considerate. He led Qin Xuan to the side of the sofa furthest away, so that he wouldn't have to keep asking him questions. Situ Hao could handle it.
"Thank you." Qin Xuan first asked his female companion to sit down. "This is Xuanxuan, she came with me to celebrate her birthday today."
Situ Hao and Lin Yao exchanged a knowing smile, thinking to themselves that this guy can't lack women no matter where he goes. They wondered how long this woman could stay with Qin Xuan. Perhaps after today, she would become a memory, just like Gu Panpan, and the world would have another woman with a melancholy heart.
"Hello, brother. I'm Qin Xuan, a businessman, just like Situ." Qin Xuan took out his business card and handed it to Zhang Zheng with both hands.
He didn't give Xia Yuwen his business card, which shows he's a considerate person.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Zheng, Lu Hua's colleague." Zhang Zheng gave a brief self-introduction, took Qin Xuan's business card, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his pocket, his manners impeccable.
With the presence of two businessmen, the atmosphere in this small circle of conversation suddenly became as harmonious as that of longtime friends. Lin Yao learned a lot about interpersonal skills, but there were many things that couldn't be learned and could only be experienced.
"By the way, Brother Lin, I said last time I would give you a membership to Minhong. I think you were really prescient. Now that membership is invalid, so Panpan can only ask me to give you another gift. Haha."
