I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 456 Ling Yao's Good Fortune

Half past four in the afternoon.

Irina Beauty Center.

Zhao Lianyun was in high spirits and made an appointment with Ling Yao for a facial treatment. The two chatted for an hour and a half.

Ling Yao keenly sensed that Zhao Lianyun's attitude towards her had undergone a significant change this time.

Zhao Lianyun no longer treated her as a beautician, but as one of her close friends, which made her feel flattered.

During the service, the two chatted and laughed, and Zhao Lianyun even teased her on purpose.

For her, this was a completely new feeling.

In Zhao Lianyun's eyes, Ling Yao broke through her original relationship with Wei Lin because of her suggestion and her careful guidance, and she gradually regarded Ling Yao as her little apprentice.

Wei Lin's influence in Linjiang City is growing, and Zhu Jun always speaks of him with admiration and emotion.

Zhao Lianyun's backer had long since fallen, while Wei Lin was showing signs of rapid advancement, and she wished she could use every means to befriend him.

He Jingxuan and Ling Yao were both seen by her as means to get closer to Wei Lin.

"Xiao Ling, you've really hit the jackpot in one fell swoop."

"You two only officially became a couple last night, so what Wei Lin is giving you right now is nothing! If you can seize the opportunity and actually win Wei Lin's heart, tsk tsk!"

Zhao Lianyun, her face full of encouragement, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Listen to me, do your best!"

Ling Yao nodded emphatically and said earnestly, "Sister Zhao! I, Ling Yao, will never forget your teachings!"

Zhao Lianyun smiled and said, "It's good that you remember!"

……

4:40.

After finishing her facial, Zhao Lianyun sent a message to Zhou Rong to confirm that Zhou Rong was at the company. Then she went upstairs with a smile.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Zhou Rong looking pleasantly surprised as she put down her phone.

"Guess who called?"

Zhou Rong's smile was cheerful and radiant; her face, which had been extensively repaired with medical aesthetic technology, seemed to be glowing.

Zhao Lianyun asked, "Is it Sister Zhu's phone call?"

"No." Zhou Rong smiled and shook her head, not bothering to keep anyone in suspense, and said, "It's Wei Lin's phone call!"

Zhao Lianyun immediately became interested.

She took the coffee that Zhou Rong had prepared earlier and said excitedly, "I'm here to see you because of Wei Lin!"

"Do you know that Xiao Ling, the beautician at your shop, slept with Wei Lin last night?"

"Hehe! I won't lie to you, Xiao Ling got Wei Lin into her bed thanks to me!"

Before Zhou Rong could ask any questions, she recounted in detail the events between Wei Lin and Ling Yao.

However, Zhou Rong was not surprised.

After she explained everything, Zhou Rong smiled and said, "I'm not surprised at all."

"From the moment he took the initiative to ask Ling Yao to do a body massage, and from the moment I called Ling Yao over and asked her a few questions after seeing her appearance, I knew that Ling Yao would definitely not escape his grasp!"

"If it weren't for that, would I have immediately increased Ling Yao's income?"

"Ling Yao is interested, and that guy is a womanizer, so it's only a matter of time before they get together."

"What's the big deal?"

Zhou Rong raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly.

Seeing that she knew everything, Zhao Lianyun stopped showing off and asked curiously, "What did Wei Lin want with you today?"

Zhou Rong took a breath and said, "Dai Yixuan from Tianxuan Beauty has arrived in Linjiang City!"

"Wei Lin is inviting Dai Yixuan to dinner, and he said Han Jie will be there tonight, along with that girl Shiqi!"

"Then, he asked me if I was free tonight? Of course I was!"

"How many times have I told you about Dai Yixuan? I went to Shanghai to visit her before, but she ignored me and just arranged for her subordinates to receive me."

"It seems she came to Linjiang City this time specifically to see Wei Lin, and Han Jie was there too!"

She was very happy that Wei Lin still thought of her despite all this, and said, "That Wei Lin is really a good friend. He really treats me like an older sister!"

Zhao Lianyun had an idea and suggested, "Wei Lin will definitely not mistreat Ling Yao."

"My junior trainer at Life Fitness, Wei Lin, gave me so much that even I was shocked. Ling Yao will definitely get even more in the future!"

"I think you should change Ling Yao's position right now, so she doesn't have to do facials and body treatments for people all day long."

"Why don't you just give her a management position! One of those easy jobs that pays pretty well!"

"Consider it giving Wei Lin face!"

Zhao Lianyun was determined to see this through to the end. Zhou Rong understood immediately and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it."

……

New Elite Investments.

Just before the end of the workday, Ma Yungui met with Xiao Bing, and the two exchanged polite greetings.

Although Lao Ma didn't know her before, he had heard about her through various channels and knew that Xiao Bing had a high status in a certain circle in Jinling City and that her personal abilities were also exceptionally outstanding.

Of course, Xiao Bing also benefited from her father's influence.

However, since Qin Bo and Dou San specifically called to mention Xiao Bing and explicitly stated that Xiao Bing intended to contact him, Lao Ma knew that this girl must have something going for her.

"Uncle Ma, I also plan to put some of my spare money with you newly rich people."

“I’ve heard my dad say that you’ve known each other for a long time. Although you haven’t had much contact over the years, Uncle Ma should know my dad’s character and should also have heard about me.”

Xiao Bing said with a sincere expression.

"Of course."

Ma Yungui smiled broadly and said politely, "I'm in the investment business, and I welcome clients like you more than ever! However, I'm getting old now, and I've just had two children."

"We, the newly rich, will no longer accept idle money from dubious sources. I must make this clear to you in advance."

Knowing Xiao Bing's background, he treated her with caution, fearing he might attract unnecessary trouble.

In the past, Lao Ma was willing to take some risks, but now that he has his own offspring and has even tricked Wei Lin into joining in, he doesn't want to get involved in any trouble anymore.

"Uncle Ma, I understand! Don't worry, there won't be any problems with the money I put with you!"

Xiao Bing solemnly assured him.

Ma Yungui smiled and nodded: "That's good, that's good."

At this moment, Xiao Bing suddenly changed the subject and said, "Uncle Ma, Qin Bo and the others said that you and President Wei have a very good relationship. They only got to know you because of President Wei."

"To be honest, Dong Mu, the person in charge of Guang'ai who contacted you before, is also an elder of mine."

"He and I are very interested in President Wei. Would you be able to tell me about the situation with President Wei?"

Xiao Bing, who specifically sought out Ma Yungui, also inquired about Wei Lin's whereabouts, intending to thoroughly understand all aspects of Wei Lin in order to prepare for a future meeting with Wu Zhong.

"Of course it's convenient! How could it not be convenient? Wei Lin and I are close friends despite our age difference, and he's just my type!"

"We've been eating and drinking together lately, and partying at all the big shopping malls! Hehe, he's really living the high life!"

"..."

Comrade Ma didn't mention any serious matters, only talking about eating, drinking, and having fun—all baseless tales. Even Xiao Bing, a seasoned veteran, blushed a little.

"Uncle Ma, that's not what I'm asking you. You don't need to go into too much detail about this!"

Xiao Bing said, embarrassed and annoyed.

Ma Yungui sighed softly and said earnestly, "Xiao girl, listen to my advice, Wei Lin is not right for you. You'd better get out of this situation as soon as possible."

Xiao Bing: "Uncle Ma! You've misunderstood, it's not what you think!"

Ma Yungui waved his hand, as if he knew everything, and said, "No need to explain to me, you know what I mean!"

……

Six pm.

Irina Beauty Center, the beauticians' lounge.

"I heard that Ling Yao was called to President Zhou's office again. What's going on?"

"Ling Yao hasn't been with the company long enough, but last time President Zhou made an exception and raised her basic salary, along with her performance bonus. Is she related to President Zhou?"

"Who knows? If they weren't relatives, why would President Zhou make an exception for her?"

"Could it be because of her major client, Mr. Zhao? Everyone knows that Mr. Zhao and our Mr. Zhou are good friends. Could it be because Mr. Zhao said something good about her?"

"Unlikely?"

Several beauticians who had some free time chattered endlessly in the break room.

Li Ling, who was off duty, was also there, but she didn't participate. Instead, she quietly sent a message to Ling Yao.

"Yao, what's going on with you? Why did President Zhou summon you alone again? Everyone's talking about you!"

Ling Yao: "President Zhou wants to promote me to supervisor and asked me if I have confidence."

Li Ling was startled and immediately sat up straight, hurriedly sending a message asking, "Why?"

Ling Yao: "President Zhou made it clear that it was because of Brother Wei."

Li Ling: "Huh?!"
