The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 175 I'll give myself to you.
Haitao Real Estate?

Was I really the lucky one?
Gu Hongtao's face flushed instantly, and he was overjoyed, feeling a dizzying sense of happiness, as if he had been hit on the head by a gold brick.

All eyes turned to Gu Hongtao, their expressions filled with shock.

How could it be him?
In the real estate industry, everyone knows each other well, and no one expected that the lucky winner would be Haitao Real Estate, a company with little reputation and ordinary strength.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gu, you're about to strike it rich!"

"Mr. Gu, you've really kept your talents hidden! You've given us a wonderful surprise!"

"congratulations!"

Gu Hongtao suppressed his elation and greeted everyone. He was then invited to the stage to give a speech and had a brief interaction with Liu Zhenhao.

Below the stage, Gu Yuexi, holding Lin Chen's arm, whispered, "Brother, did you help?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I didn't talk to President Liu about this, and he didn't mention it to me either."

Gu Yuexi blinked: "President Liu is trying to do you a huge favor."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Right? Anyway, it doesn't matter who the partner is. After all, he is capable enough on his own. Finding a local company to develop the project is just to reduce trouble."

Gu Yuexi looked at Lin Chen with admiration: "You've really helped the Gu family a lot. I don't know how to thank you enough."

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Aren't you my girlfriend? There's no need to be so clear about it. Besides, President Liu has already made the announcement. I can't just stop him and tell him that I don't want his favor and make him choose another real estate company to cooperate with, can I?"

"That won't do!"

Gu Yuexi laughed and hugged Lin Chen's arm tightly, pressing against him without any hesitation. She leaned her head in and whispered to Lin Chen, "At worst, I'll pay for my father's debts. I'll give myself to you. You can do whatever you want."

Gu Yuexi's voice was soft yet possessed a unique feminine charm, making one's heart itch with desire.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Okay, this deal is worthwhile, I agree."

Gu Yuexi's eyes brightened with joy, and she hummed softly, "You promised, so you're not allowed to run away."

Lin Chen turned his head to look into Gu Yuexi's eyes and chuckled as he replied, "Why would I run away from such a beautiful woman?"

Gu Yuexi smiled, a smile as radiant as a flower, as if all the light in the banquet hall was focused on her face, making her beautiful and charming, captivating everyone's attention.

Gu Hongtao stepped off the stage and returned to the three of them. Looking at Lin Chen, his expression was one of excitement. "Little Lin, I really owe you a huge debt of gratitude this time. I don't know what to say, thank you so much!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We're family, so there's no need to be formal. Don't worry about it."

Gu Hongtao's face was flushed, and he nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, we're family!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuexi smiled and teased, "Dad, I have good taste, don't I? I pestered you so much that I found you a really capable son-in-law who even helped you land a big project. You should thank me."

Gu Hongtao looked a little embarrassed, but he was so excited that he didn't care: "Yes, yes, Dad's taste is not as good as yours."

The list was announced, and then it was time for casual drinking and conversation. Gu Hongtao was immediately surrounded by a lot of people.

Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi didn't want any trouble, so they slipped out to the balcony of the banquet hall.

Liu Zhenhao walked over and smiled, "Mr. Lin, are you looking for some peace and quiet here?"

Gu Yuexi chuckled tactfully, "You guys keep chatting, I'm going to the restroom."

After Gu Yuexi left, Lin Chen raised his wine glass and clinked it with Liu Zhenhao's, saying, "Mr. Liu, I was caught off guard by your sudden move."

Liu Zhenhao laughed and said, "I don't have any close friends in Pingjiang. Mr. Lin has helped me a lot and is also a friend. It's good to keep the benefits within the family."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thanks."

Liu Zhenhao laughed heartily, "I didn't come here to hear your thanks. If you consider me, Old Liu, a friend you can make, then don't stand on ceremony with me. I came here to ask, Mr. Lin, do you have a grudge against Chu Tianyu?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "He contacted you?"

Liu Zhenhao nodded and recounted in detail what Chu Tianyu had done to him: "It's clear that he harbors a lot of resentment towards you, and I suspect he'll try to find a way to target you."

Lin Chen nodded: "If he wants to play, I'll play with him. It's no big deal. But Mr. Liu, it's such an easy choice between two options. You chose me instead of the Chu family. What were you thinking?"

Liu Zhenhao laughed and said, "First, I owe you a favor; second, I want to be your friend; and third, I don't want to get too close to the Chu family. Doing things with a family like that always feels like dealing with a tiger. Although I'm not afraid, I don't want to cause trouble... Is that reason enough? If not, I'll add another one: that kid is too arrogant. He hasn't even become the head of the family yet, but he's already acting all high and mighty. I don't like him."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "The Chu family is a powerful family in Tianhai Province. You really believe I won't be played to death by the Chu family?"

Liu Zhenhao laughed heartily: "To be honest, I was a little worried just now, but seeing your reaction now, I know I made the right choice. Although I don't know anything about Mr. Lin's abilities and background, I can predict that Chu Tianyu has offended you and is probably in big trouble!"
