I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 384 An Encounter with Wu Feiyu

Six o'clock in the evening, Liuyun Pavilion.

Inside a private room.

Qin Wei brought his own drinks and had the waiter set them on the table. He then enjoyed tea and conversation with Han Jie.

"What exactly is the situation with Uncle Huo?"

Han Jie frowned and said, "When he was in Linjiang City, my dad and he had a pretty good personal relationship, and I also had contact with him. After he came to Jinling City, he encountered some trouble and asked my dad to pull some strings, but my dad had many concerns and didn't dare to agree to anything."

"A new broom sweeps clean. He made some rather big moves after taking office, and many people were secretly resisting him, which made it difficult for him to carry out his work." Qin Wei smiled calmly and said, "Recently, he has toned it down a lot, and my family thinks that we've worked things out enough, so we don't plan to suppress him any further."

"So you mean by calling Huo Shiqi over?" Han Jieqi asked curiously.

Qin Wei laughed and said, "Consider it giving Wei Lin some face!"

Han Jie immediately understood.

After Wei Lin met Huo Shiqi a few times, he mentioned her to Qin Wei, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that the girl was quite sensible and had commendable manners.

He also wanted to see if he could help Huo Jiaxiong through his friendship with Qin Wei, but since the matter was of great importance, he didn't want to put pressure on Qin Wei.

Qin Wei would just smile each time without saying anything, naturally because the time was not yet ripe.

Now the time is finally ripe.

The Qin family no longer intended to keep Huo Jiaxiong in check, and with the problem of continuing the family line that had been troubling the Qin family successfully resolved, the Qin family decided to show goodwill.

Qin Wei immediately remembered that Han Jie had said that Huo Shiqi and Wei Lin had a very good relationship, which led to his trip to Linjiang City.

"You've given Wei Lin quite a bit of face!"

Han Jie sighed deeply.

If things go smoothly because of Wei Lin, regardless of the Qin family's true intentions, Huo Jiaxiong will have to give Wei Lin face.

Who is Huo Jiaxiong?
If Wei Lin wins Huo Jiaxiong's favor through this incident, it will undoubtedly be of great help to Wei Lin's future, which makes Han Jie somewhat envious.

at this time.

"Wu Feiyu! You've finally come!"

Qin Wei suddenly stood up, laughed loudly at Wu Feiyu who pushed the door open and entered, and shouted, "How many times have I called you? Every time you make an excuse to refuse, and I have to go all the way to Linjiang City to ask you?"

"If it weren't for my sister-in-law being pregnant, I still wouldn't come, even if you used that as an excuse!" Wu Feiyu said coldly.

Qin Wei introduced the two men: "Han Jie, Wu Feiyu!"

"I've met you, and I know you." Han Jie smiled brightly, went over to greet you warmly, and said, "You two are really something, you've been friends for so many years, is it really necessary?"

"Wu Feiyu is such a simpleton! We may do things differently, but that shouldn't affect our brotherhood!"

Speaking of this, Qin Wei was full of complaints, grumbling, "We're not even in the same department anymore, let alone in the same city, so what else is there to be unhappy about?"

"I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore." Wu Feiyu sat down by himself, glanced at the seats on the table, and asked, "Who else is here?"

He and Qin Wei were childhood friends, both grew up in the same government agency, and later entered the system to work.

Qin Wei was much more tactful than him, and he didn't like many of Qin Wei's work practices, which led to the two having less contact in recent years.

Qin Wei had approached him many times, but he refused each time, not even wanting to see him.

He only agreed to attend this trip after hearing that Qin Wei's wife was finally pregnant and that Qin Wei had made a special trip to Linjiang City.

He had assumed Qin Wei had come specifically to invite him, but seeing that not only was Han Jie there, but there were other empty seats at the table, he was slightly displeased.

He has never liked a group of unrelated people sitting together noisily eating and drinking.

"I also have two friends, one named Wei Lin and the other named Huo Shiqi."

Qin Wei explained with a smile, "You might not be familiar with Wei Lin, but you should know Huo Shiqi, right? She's Huo Jiaxiong's daughter."

"Wei Lin?"

Wu Feiyu was taken aback. He hadn't mentioned Huo Shiqi at all. He asked curiously, "Is it Wei Lin, the one who makes hats?"

Qin Wei was surprised: "You know him too?"

Wu Feiyu nodded and said, "I know him."

His obvious dissatisfaction vanished instantly when he learned that Qin Wei had also invited Wei Lin.

"Feiyu, how did you two meet?"

Qin Wei was very puzzled.

In his view, Wei Lin and Wu Feiyu were two completely unrelated people who should have no interaction whatsoever.

We met while playing basketball.

Wu Feiyu didn't hide anything about this and recounted in detail how he met Wei Lin.

He also specifically mentioned the conflict at the food stall, saying how brave Wei Lin was at the time, which amazed him.

Qin Wei and Han Jie were deeply moved.

In their minds, Wei Lin was a proper small businessman, and they had never seen him get into any serious conflict with anyone.

Upon hearing that Wei Lin had this side to him, the two men immediately began to look at him with new respect.

"Wei Lin is great!"

Qin Wei laughed heartily and said, "It's good that you two know each other! With your awful temper, I was worried you'd be unhappy!"

"If it's not him, I'm not happy!" Wu Feiyu said with a straight face, "Let's catch up tonight and not talk about anything else!"

Qin Wei and he were childhood friends, but Qin Wei had close ties with many entrepreneurs, which Qin Wei disliked.

He felt that since Han Jie, Wei Lin, and Huo Shiqi were present at the dinner, Qin Wei was probably going to talk about something unrelated.

He even suspected that Han Jie and Wei Lin might need Qin Wei's help in some way, and that the group might be discussing sensitive matters over drinks. "Really, nothing else. What are you thinking about?"

Qin Wei chuckled to himself.

Han Jie looked puzzled. He hadn't expected that Wei Lin and Wu Feiyu not only knew each other, but also seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

……

"Brother Wei, my mother repeatedly told me to get along well with Qin Wei before I came. I've never experienced anything like this before, so I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

"If I don't perform well later, you'd better remind me!"

Huo Shiqi said to Wei Lin at the entrance of the restaurant.

She had actually arrived a long time ago, but hadn't gone in because she was waiting for Wei Lin and wanted to talk to him beforehand.

She had heard a little about her father's situation and knew that his work had not been going very smoothly since he first arrived in Jinling City.

The fact that her mother valued Qin Wei so much implied that Qin Wei's family could help her father clear many obstacles, so how could she not care?

She was well aware, of course, that her mother's real estate business had grown so large thanks in part to her father's support.

But she's been used to being fawned over since she was little, so it's really a bit difficult for her to fawn over others now.

"It's just a meal, why are you so nervous?"

Wei Lin chuckled and said, "Shiqi, just be yourself! Neither Brother Han nor Brother Qin are difficult people to get along with, so don't worry!"

"Brother Wei, I don't know Qin Wei, but Brother Han, you know absolutely nothing about him!"

Huo Shiqi smiled and shook her head, then said seriously, "I've met Brother Han on other occasions before, and he's not like what you see! It's only when he's with you that he's so approachable and down-to-earth!"

Wei Lin was taken aback: "Is that so?"

From the first time he met Dai Yixuan through introduction, Han Jie was very gentle and humble, and he remained so in their subsequent encounters.

He thought Han Jie was really like that, but after hearing what Huo Shiqi said, he realized that wasn't the case.

Huo Shiqi nodded emphatically.

As the son of the richest man in Linjiang City, and with such strong family connections, how could Han Jie possibly be without a temper or airs?

In terms of wealth accumulation alone, her mother can't compare to Han Jie's side. As for background... besides the Qin family in Jinling City, Han Jie has other connections as well.

As a result, Han Jie often acts coldly towards most people in business settings.

She saw Han Jie being so down-to-earth, but only when Wei Lin was around.

She has never understood this.

"It's okay. No matter how Brother Han treats others, he's always been good to us! Let's go, let's go together!"

Wei Lin was the first to step into the restaurant.

……

"You two have finally arrived!"

When Wei Lin and Huo Shiqi came in, Han Jie was the first to stand up, beaming with a smile, and said, "We've been waiting for you two!"

"Hey! Wu Feiyu? What brings you here?"

Wei Lin let out a strange laugh.

Since hooking up with Zhuang Qing and establishing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, their weekly basketball games have turned into private dates, and no one has initiated them for a long time.

He and Wu Feiyu hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

Qin Wei was overjoyed to unexpectedly run into Wu Feiyu at a dinner party. He pretended to be surprised and said, "I was just about to ask you out recently. What a coincidence!"

"Don't give me that!" Wu Feiyu snorted with a straight face and said with dissatisfaction, "If you really want to see me, just go to the Feiyu Sports Center. I'll be there anyway."

After Wei Lin disappeared, he didn't encounter a decent opponent at the Feiyu Sports Center. He called out to Wei Lin several times in the group chat, but Wei Lin always laughed it off and said he was busy.

Over time, he became too lazy to organize games.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Wei Lin smiled apologetically and said, "I'll definitely play with you in a while!"

"It's the weekend today, and you're off tomorrow anyway, so come have a drink with me!"

Without any hesitation, Wu Feiyu plopped down first and picked up the bottle of baijiu on the table to open it.

Qin Wei remained silent, observing the way Wu Feiyu and Wei Lin interacted, and couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

He knew that Wu Feiyu didn't have many friends, rarely spoke, seldom recognized anyone, and almost never drank alcohol.

Especially baijiu (Chinese liquor), Wu Feiyu drinks very little of it.

When Wei Lin arrived, Wu Feiyu seemed to show dissatisfaction, which actually proved that he did not treat Wei Lin as an outsider.

The fact that he took the initiative to open the bottle of liquor on the table and even asked Wei Lin to have a drink with him further demonstrates that he considers Wei Lin a friend.

"Shiqi, right? I've heard Han Jie and Wei Lin mention you. Hehe, your father and I both work in Jinling City, so we sometimes cross paths." Qin Wei pulled out a chair next to him, warmly gesturing for Huo Shiqi to sit down, and said with a smile, "You're Wei Lin's sister, so you're also my sister, Qin Wei's sister. Let's get to know each other better in the future!"

Huo Shiqi was flattered and quickly said, "Brother Qin, you're too kind!"

She was a little uneasy when she arrived, unsure of how to get along with Qin Wei.

Especially after hearing her mother's instructions and learning about Qin Wei's family background, she felt even more nervous and uneasy.

She was surprised that Qin Wei was so polite and even expressed a desire to get closer to her, which immediately put her mind at ease.

She immediately sat down next to him.
