I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 457 My Good Brother's Worries
The beauticians in the lounge were still chattering away.

Li Ling, on the other hand, automatically blocked out all their voices.

"President Wei..."

Li Ling lowered her head, looking at the messages from Ling Yao on the screen with a complicated expression.

She found it hard to accept.

Ling Yao is just a greenhorn who hasn't been with Irina for long, and she's already becoming a supervisor?

Is it just because of Wei Lin?

Li Ling regarded Zhou Rong as her idol. She felt that her boss was always decisive and efficient, and that the company's rules and regulations were all well-organized.

Moreover, Zhou Rong rarely breaks the rules she sets for herself.

However, she repeatedly made exceptions for Ling Yao, such as increasing Ling Yao's base salary and commission, and planning to promote Ling Yao to the position of supervisor.

Li Ling couldn't understand why Boss Zhou was acting this way.

"I should ask Ling Yao directly! Could it be that she's going to become my boss?"

Li Ling thought to herself.

A moment later, the other beauticians started their shifts, and Li Ling specially called Ling Yao, who had just returned, to the changing room.

"Is President Zhou really planning to promote you?"

Li Ling took a sip.

Ling Yao bit her lower lip and gave a soft "hmm" in a voice barely above a whisper, before explaining, "I didn't agree to her request. I think that would be against company rules. Also, I'm too young, and I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to convince others."

"What did President Zhou say?" Li Ling continued to press.

Ling Yao didn't hide anything and told the truth: "She said she could transfer me to the beauty consultant department to sell some related beauty products and medical aesthetic procedures, and asked if I was interested."

After a pause, Ling Yao continued, "I said I'd go back and think about it before making a decision."

Li Ling looked at her intently, noticing a subtle charm hidden between her brows. She felt that she was different from before, so she asked curiously, "Something's wrong with you! What's going on?"

Ling Yao said shyly, "Last night, last night Brother Wei and I... we made up."

Having been through it all herself, she felt that Li Ling was far inferior to Zhao Lianyun in every aspect.

At this moment, Ling Yao was more inclined to accept Zhao Lianyun's advice and guidance.

Li Ling advised her to be more reserved, not to act rashly until she saw the benefit, and to take good care of her body, making sure Wei Lin didn't get her easily.

During this process, she should try her best to extract money from Wei Lin so as not to end up with nothing.

She tried to do it the way Li Ling taught her, but found that it had no effect on Wei Lin and even made Wei Lin somewhat resistant.

Zhao Lianyun is completely different.

After Zhao Lianyun's careful guidance, she became extremely proactive.

She took advantage of Wei Lin's sympathy to get him to come and keep her company. Afterwards, she not only did not ask for anything in return, but also refused any money or valuables that Wei Lin offered her.

Through this, she sensed that Wei Lin's attitude towards her had subtly changed.

This further solidified her belief in Zhao Lianyun's approach.

"You two are together? You mean... you slept with him?!"

Li Ling was taken aback.

Ling Yao nodded again, pulled Li Ling into a small cubicle, opened her chat history with Wei Lin, and said proudly, "Sister Ling, look!"

"Brother Wei said he would help me open my own beauty salon. As long as I agree, he will take care of everything for me!"

"He also wants me to look at a car, one that costs around a million!"

"Sister Ling, I told you Brother Wei isn't the kind of person you described. He's extremely generous!"

Ling Yao gestured wildly as she spoke.

Li Ling was startled by what she saw.

In addition, she also saw Ling Yao's reply.

Ling Yao said she is very content with her current life. She doesn't ask for any title or money. She just wants to be with Wei Lin and hope that he can come and visit her when he has time.

"You! You! Who taught you this?"

A glint flashed in Li Ling's eyes as she looked at Ling Yao with a strange gaze.

She knew that even she couldn't do that, let alone Ling Yao, a naive young girl.

"Zhao Lianyun, Sister Zhao!" Ling Yao said with a smug smile, "Sister Zhao taught me everything!"

Li Ling was moved and nodded gently: "You should learn from her. I can't say these things myself. She, and our President Zhou, are both masters at handling men!"

"I am ashamed of myself!"

……

Han Jie's private teahouse.

Dai Yixuan returned to the hotel to freshen up and get ready, while Han Jie also had some personal matters to attend to. The two left one after the other.

Wei Lin first communicated with Zhao Fulong and learned that since it was Friday, the club would prepare the dishes as usual, and there were also extra private rooms available, so he made a reservation.

Immediately afterwards, he called Zhou Rong and Huo Shiqi to finalize the time and place for dinner.

Shortly after, Ma Yungui called and said that Xiao Bing had talked to him about some things and expressed a strong interest in Wei Lin, but he did not reveal anything about it.

"Xiao Bing is like a persistent ghost; she wants to investigate me thoroughly. It's really a headache."

With a sigh, Wei Lin called Xiao Bing again, asking if she wanted to have dinner together that evening. He did this partly out of politeness, and partly to gauge Xiao Bing's intentions and find out what she was really up to.

Xiao Bing refused outright, saying that she also had friends in Linjiang City and wouldn't be going.

"And friends..."

Wei Lin naturally assumed that Xiao Bing's visit to those friends was most likely to inquire about him, which made him feel increasingly pressured.

He was afraid that Xiao Bing would not be able to resist revealing his situation to Wu Zhong.

After listening to Xiao Bing's description, Wu Chong realized that if he showed Xiao Bing the photos of him at Mingji Hospital, Xiao Bing would most likely be able to match the photos, and his identity would be exposed in advance.

"I have Wu Zhong's address and phone number. Should I go find him myself?"

Wei Lin pondered silently.

Wu Chong's villa in Shenzhen is in a relatively remote area with excellent security. It would be difficult for him to break in without alerting the security guards, but he could wait for Wu Chong to come out and then create an opportunity to meet him.

However, he was not quite clear about Wu Zhong's personal combat strength.

Having undergone multiple life advancements, it's unclear what level Wu Zhong's limbs and brain have reached in terms of development.

If Wu Zhong dared to launch a sudden attack, he was unsure if he could stop him.

Meeting Wu Zhong might not be a good choice.

Should we make a phone call and discuss it?
Then I have to change my location and my phone number to avoid revealing my identity with a single phone call and being tracked down by Wu Chong.

Wei Lin became increasingly agitated the more he thought about it.

Wu Zhong's existence became a source of anxiety for him, especially as Dong Mu and Xiao Bing appeared and he grew closer to exposing his identity, he became even more worried and uneasy.

……

Zhao Fulong's private club.

"What have you been busy with lately? Your Zhuang Qing has complained to my Han Ying several times, saying that you've been so busy that you haven't had time to spend with her."

"Wei Lin, you can play around as you please, but you still need to keep Zhuang Qing in mind."

“Regardless of family background, education, appearance, or origin, Zhuang Qing is the most suitable candidate for you.”

"Do you understand what a legal wife is? You need to spend more time and energy on your legal wife!"

Zhao Yuanqing was fishing by the pond when he saw Wei Lin approaching. After making sure no one was around, he began to reprimand him in a serious manner.

"understood."

Wei Lin gave a casual, perfunctory reply, sat down in the empty chair next to him, and said, "You and Han Ying are getting married at the end of the year, right?"

"Ah."

Zhao Yuanqing's gaze remained fixed on the water, a bright smile on his face: "I only want to find a well-behaved and obedient woman. I don't want my woman to have too many complicated social circles. The last one was playful and loved to have fun, and you know what happened."

"That was a huge blow to me, and it took me several years to recover. I didn't trust women anymore."

"It wasn't until I met Han Ying that I thought about marriage again, Wei Lin..."

At this point, Zhao Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Wei Lin's face, asking, "Zhuang Qing wants to get married, I suppose you know that. Before you get married, your current situation is quite dangerous, after all, our Linjiang City isn't that big."

"After you get married, how do you plan to handle this?"

"So, what are your plans for those few?"

Only a true brother would care about this.

When Zhao Yuanqing was with Han Ying, he didn't dare to get too drunk, for fear of accidentally letting something slip or being asked something by Han Ying.

He knew very well that Han Ying would always stand on Zhuang Qing's side. If she knew that Wei Lin had so many women around him, Han Ying would not have let Wei Lin off the hook.

"You were fishing happily, why are you talking about this?"

Wei Lin gave a bitter smile, casually changing the subject, and said, "You made quite a bit of money last time, why didn't you show me anything?"

Zhao Yuanqing snorted and said, "What do you mean? Give you another car? You're richer than me now, giving you something else would just make me look materialistic!"

"You have more money than me! And more women than me!"

"Wei Lin, what do you think I can give you right now to satisfy your desires?"

His father, Zhao Fulong, had mentioned that since he had made another fortune in the stock market through the two stocks recommended by Wei Lin, he should give Wei Lin something as a token of appreciation, but Zhao Yuanqing rejected the idea.

Ma Yungui gave shares to the newly rich, and he learned from Wei Lin that Han Jie had also given shares to a company in Jinling City.

In addition, he also knew about the other three companies Wei Lin owned: Xinlin, Qingque, and Kunpeng.

He knew very well that Wei Lin's economic strength had long surpassed his own.

Even his father's Fulong Pharmaceuticals might not be able to suppress Wei Lin in time, so it would seem vulgar for him to send him a little money.

Wei Lin exclaimed, "You're not going to make me pay for dinner tonight, are you?"

"Damn it, you're so stingy!" Zhao Yuanqing put away his fishing rod, rolled his eyes at him, and greeted Han Jie who was walking from a distance, saying, "Brother Han, the fish are hard to catch today, and it's almost time, shall we go straight to the private room?"

Han Jie stopped and smiled, "Alright."

As Wei Lin and Zhao Yuanqing approached, Han Jie suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Wei Lin, Mayor Mu is here tonight too. Would you like to go over and say hello?"

Zhao Yuanqing was taken aback: "Mu Qingshan? What's he doing here?"

Han Jie smiled and said, "Since it's your family's private club, then naturally your father invited these people."
