I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 393 Lin Ping's Collapse

"Brother Wei, Boss Zhou raised my base salary and also increased my performance commission by one level."

"It's all because of you, so thank you."

After much hesitation, Ling Yao sent a message to Wei Lin to express her gratitude.

A moment later, Wei Lin replied, "That's what you deserve, no need to thank me."

Ling Yao, who had been waiting for a reply, quickly said, "I know very well that if my guest wasn't you, President Zhou would never have treated me like this!"

Wei Lin: "Haha, just treat me to a meal another day."

Ling Yao: "When is 'another day'?"

Wei Lin: "Tomorrow night is fine too."

Ling Yao: "Okay, then tomorrow night! I'll ask for leave tomorrow night!"

She instantly became excited again, immediately opened the food website app, searched for suitable restaurants, and consulted with her classmates and best friends for a long time.

Hu Xiaoying called suddenly and immediately asked, "Ling Yao, I saw you asking about restaurants in the group chat. Who are you inviting to dinner? And you made such a fuss!"

Ling Yao hesitated slightly.

Hu Xiaoying was her good friend. She used to take her to so-called high-end dinner parties and to various clubbing and karaoke venues.

Last time at the Oscars, it was Hu Xiaoying who called her, and she also happened to run into Wei Lin.

After that incident, Hu Xiaoying called her several more times, but she politely declined each time.

She was afraid that Wei Lin would look down on her and think that her social circle was too chaotic.

Unexpectedly, when she asked about restaurant information in the group chat, Hu Xiaoying noticed it and even made a special phone call to inquire.

Ling Yao didn't say that the other party was Wei Lin, but said, "A client helped me, so I wanted to treat him to a meal to express my gratitude, that's all."

"Male or female?" Hu Xiaoying pressed.

Ling Yao: "A man."

Hu Xiaoying suddenly became excited and exclaimed, "He must be very rich, right? Ling Yao, does he have any handsome or rich brothers or buddies? Can you take me with you? Ling Yao, I always take you with me when there are good things like this before!"

Ling Yao was surprised and asked, "Weren't you talking to Yang Huan?"

Although Yang Huan wasn't as good as Zhuang Daoyuan and the others, she was still a second-generation rich kid. When she went with Hu Xiaoying, she saw the two of them being quite affectionate.

"Beginning early."

Hu Xiaoying sighed softly, her voice tinged with bitterness: "That guy Yang Huan has plenty of women throwing themselves at him. Not long after we got together, I found out he had another girlfriend, and he didn't try to hide it at all, he just broke up with me."

"Ling Yao, all these rich kids are unreliable! Yang Huan, Zhuang Daoyuan, Jiang Tuo, they're all the same!"

"Finding a rich second-generation is useless. They don't have much money of their own, and they're all controlled to death by their old men!"

"If I'm going to date someone, I'll date a self-made millionaire! From now on, I'd rather date their fathers than these stingy rich kids! I talked to him for two months and all I got were two bags and a few tens of thousands of yuan in transfers. It's all bullshit!"

Hu Xiaoying grumbled and cursed.

Ling Yao listened for a while and then said, "I'm not familiar with that client yet. Can I take you along after we get to know each other?"

"Fine." Hu Xiaoying was still angry and cursed at Yang Huan again. Finally, she said, "Ling Yao, we're sisters. I used to take such good care of you. You should remember that."

Ling Yao: "I remember, I remember!"

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

She pondered the words of the eldest sister, Li Ling, and Hu Xiaoying's words together for a long time, which made her increasingly confused.

Wei Lin gave Lin Nanxi's company, Shen Yanfei's house and car, each of which amounted to several million yuan.

Hu Xiaoying, who dated the rich second-generation Yang Huan, only received two bags and tens of thousands of yuan from him; the two were simply incomparable.

"In terms of generosity alone, Brother Wei is obviously much more generous."

Ling Yao thought to herself.

……

Half past six in the evening.

Fragrant Palace, a small private room for six people.

Lin Ping, who had dressed up carefully, and Feng Yuzhi, who was dressed in a ladylike outfit, were waiting early again.

"Sister Ping, I would never have come this time if it weren't for your sake!"

Feng Yuzhi, with a stern face, was not happy and snorted, "An Xin and I haven't been in contact for a long time! As for what he's doing now, I don't care at all! It has nothing to do with me!"

Lin Ping knew what was making her angry, and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhi, I didn't mean anything by it. You know Wei Lin doesn't really like me. If I said I was going to invite him to dinner, he definitely wouldn't want to come."

"He'll only give me face if you and An Xin are involved. Just don't embarrass An Xin later."

"Sigh, it's not easy for me either."

She talked about her family's company, and since Wei Lin had secured another large order from Dongxing Group, her whole family hoped that she could cultivate a good relationship with Wei Lin.

She had asked Wei Lin out several times, both openly and privately, but Wei Lin always made excuses to refuse.

This time, after mentioning that Feng Yuzhi and An Xin were involved, Wei Lin finally reluctantly agreed, asking Feng Yuzhi to be understanding.

"Sister Ping, are you really just doing this to thank him?"

Feng Yuzhi smiled slightly, pursing her lips.

"Of course I had other ideas, but that guy just wouldn't give me the chance!"

Lin Ping sighed, staring at her alluring face in the small makeup mirror, and said angrily, "What's wrong with me? There are plenty of men who want me! I've swallowed my pride and invited him time and time again, but he won't even give me the slightest face!"

Feng Yuzhi: "Sister Ping, I'm going to say something you might not like to hear, but please don't mind!"

Lin Ping put down the mirror, frowned, and said, "Tell me!" Feng Yuzhi was also straightforward, and said with a smile, "I've seen the women around Brother Wei, and to be honest... they are all beautiful! Sister Ping, you've been divorced once, so you really don't have any advantages."

Lin Ping felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow.

She had indeed been divorced once, but she hadn't taken it seriously at first because she knew that Wei Lin had also been divorced.

However, judging from Feng Yuzhi's words, the women around Wei Lin were not only beautiful, but none of them had a history of marriage.

She suddenly realized that she shouldn't compare herself to Wei Lin, but rather to the women around Wei Lin.

Compared to that, her marital history becomes a stain.

At that moment, Wei Lin and An Xin entered together.

Looking at the tall and handsome Wei Lin, and thinking about his status and position, Lin Ping, who had always been quite confident in herself, suddenly felt inferior.

"Xiao Zhi, it's been a long time."

An Xin smiled faintly, sat down calmly, and said to Lin Ping, "Thank you for the invitation, Sister Ping!"

After many days, they should be viewed with new respect.

With the enhancement of the fruit, An Xin is now 1.75 meters tall, has lost most of his excess fat, has a clear facial contour, a defined jawline, and even his eyes have become much bigger.

The custom-made gray casual suit flattered his figure perfectly.

The upcoming management of Tianzhong Hat Industry has filled him with confidence, and he exudes a strong sense of self-assurance, even resembling Wei Lin in his demeanor.

Feng Yuzhi's eyes lit up, and she almost didn't recognize him. She asked, "What happened between you and Zhang Jiajia?"

An Xin smiled and said, "She's just an ordinary female friend. We have no other relationship. I've been quite busy with work lately and haven't had time to talk to her. We haven't been in touch for a long time."

Feng Yuzhi nodded gently.

Wei Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at the completely transformed An Xin with satisfaction, knowing that this kid really hadn't been slacking off.

The atmosphere at this meal was much better than the last one.

An Xin behaved politely and no longer fawned over Feng Yuzhi. He seemed to have given up on their relationship and adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

On the contrary, Feng Yuzhi seemed quite proactive and enthusiastic, frequently pulling him aside to talk.

Having just been verbally attacked by Feng Yuzhi, Lin Ping, feeling dejected, kept drinking the red wine she had brought with her.

After finishing a bottle and a half of red wine, Lin Ping got drunk. While An Xin was in the restroom, she questioned Wei Lin in front of Feng Yuzhi: "Do you look down on me because I'm divorced?"

Wei Lin was stunned.

"My ex-husband was a complete coward! He ate my family's food, used my family's things, and even cheated on me behind my back!" Lin Ping finally couldn't hold back her grievances and blurted them out: "You've been divorced too, haven't you?! So what if I got divorced? You're the only one who can get divorced?"

"Wei Lin, is it because you know I'm divorced that you've been ignoring me?"

"Yes or no?!"

Lin Ping asked, slightly drunk.

Wei Lin smiled calmly, not answering Lin Ping's question, but instead instructing Feng Yuzhi, "She's had too much to drink, you take care of her, I'll go first."

Feng Yuzhi obediently replied, "Okay, Brother Wei."

Wei Lin then withdrew from the situation.

When An Xin finished using the restroom, he came out to find Lin Ping sobbing uncontrollably, while Feng Yuzhi gently comforted her.

"What happened to her? Where's my brother?"

An Xin looked completely bewildered.

Feng Yuzhi's smile was bitter: "Your brother left first."

"Why is Sister Lin crying?" An Xin asked again.

Feng Yuzhi shook her head and didn't say anything more.

……

December 3th, Monday.

Affection level: 8407/50000.

Life Energy: 850/5000.

The stock market opened in the morning, but fell across the board due to a series of government control measures announced over the weekend.

After two weeks of gains, China Gold Mining and Longxing Precision Machinery also experienced a decline.

Ma Yungui, Han Jie, Zhao Yuanqing, and others called one after another, asking Wei Lin if he should quickly sell those two stocks.

Xinlin Hat Industry.

In his office, Wei Lin glanced at the stock price movements of the two stocks, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

All those who followed his advice and placed heavy bets on those two stocks now lack confidence in the market and are thinking of taking their profits and running.

After all, each of them made 1.7 times their initial investment through those two stocks.

However, it was still a little short of twice what Wei Lin had expected, which made him hesitate.

The Love Value system suggested short-term money-making opportunities, and the first two times it pointed to the stock market, with each time the returns exceeded 2 times.

This was only a 1.7x return, but problems started to appear in the entire market, triggering a wave of panic.

"Could it be that this time we've reached our limit, and 1.7 times is the maximum?"

Wei Lin tapped his fingers on the hard tabletop, pondering how to deal with the situation. Should he make a decisive move to force those people to sell, only to reap the 1.7 times profit?
