I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 458 Treat
"I do not know how?"

Zhao Yuanqing scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, "My dad didn't say he was having dinner here tonight. I only came because Wei Lin invited me."

Han Jie was surprised: "Then I don't know."

He saw Mu Qingshan's official car in the parking lot and realized that Mu Qingshan was also there that night. He thought it was a banquet hosted by Zhao Fulong.

Wei Lin asked, "Brother Han, why don't you just send a message and ask?"

He knew that Han Jie and his son had a good relationship with Mu Qingshan, otherwise Mu Qingshan wouldn't have asked Han Yuantu to take care of him.

He hadn't had much contact with Teacher Mu recently. He knew Mu Lanyan had a crush on him, but after weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided to keep his distance.

On the one hand, it was because Mayor Mu was a powerful figure in Linjiang City, and on the other hand, he did not want to bear more guilt.

The person Teacher Mu is looking for is definitely not like him; he can't provide security and fidelity.

Therefore, although he could have quickly gotten closer to Mu Qingshan through that fruit of life, he didn't do so.

"I'll ask my dad."

Zhao Yuanqing first made a phone call to his father and asked him a few questions. After hanging up, he explained with a smile, "It was my dad's friend who was hosting Mayor Mu and borrowed a private room at the club. It has nothing to do with my dad."

“He has other dinner engagements today, so he won’t be at the club.”

"Alright, their dinner party has nothing to do with us, let's go eat ours."

Zhao Yuanqing walked straight to the clubhouse.

Han Jie and Wei Lin lagged behind. Han Jie asked, "Should I tell Mayor Mu that you're here too? He thinks highly of you and has mentioned you several times."

Wei Lin smiled and shook his head: "Never mind."

Han Jie looked surprised and said, "Everyone else is scrambling to get acquainted with Mayor Mu, and he clearly has a great liking for you, but you never try to get close to him. I really don't know what to say about you!"

He had long regarded Wei Lin as a long-term ally, and Mu Qingshan was destined to be a pivotal figure in Linjiang City, so he naturally hoped that Wei Lin could cultivate a good relationship with Mu Qingshan.

Whenever Mu Qingshan talked about Wei Lin, he would say that Wei Lin was his family's benefactor and he showed great affection for Wei Lin.

Now that they have met unexpectedly, Han Jie really wanted to have a deeper conversation with Wei Lin, but to his surprise, Wei Lin was not interested.

"Brother Han, I understand what you mean, but I don't think it's necessary."

Wei Lin smiled and put his arm around Han Jie's shoulder, then followed Zhao Yuanqing toward the club.

Wei Lin saved Mu Qingshan's wife's life by exchanging a Life Fruit for it, and he also used a Favor Fruit on Mu Qingshan.

Given these premises, if he were to encounter a troublesome matter that required him to bother Mu Qingshan, Mu Qingshan would likely not refuse.

……

On the second floor, in one of the large private rooms.

Mu Qingshan stood by the window with his hands behind his back, listening to Cao Tao beside him talk about his grand plans, nodding slightly from time to time.

"what……"

His gaze wandered, then suddenly he noticed Han Jie's black Mercedes S-Class, and immediately realized that Han Jie was also at this private club.

"Mr. Cao, did you call Han Jie again tonight?"

Mu Qingshan asked casually.

"Han Jie? Han Yuantu's son?"

Cao Tao asked a question, and seeing Mu Qingshan nod, he quickly said, "Mayor Mu, I'm not very familiar with the younger generation below, and Han Yuantu's son wasn't someone I called."

He runs a cable business, and his company is about the same size as Zhao Fulong's Fulong Medical, but still inferior to Han Yuantu's.

But he was much younger than Han Yuantu, and was at the age where he was full of ambition and drive.

He only recognized older entrepreneurs like himself, and even though Han Jie had officially taken over, he didn't take him seriously.

Therefore, he always referred to Han Yuantu's son instead of Han Jie by his real name.

Mu Qingshan gave a curt "Oh" and didn't say anything more. On the way, he checked his phone but didn't see any messages from Han Jie.

"Who did this kid come with? Zhao Fulong?" Mu Qingshan muttered to himself when he suddenly noticed Han Jie and Wei Lin walking arm in arm from the direction of the pond.

"It's Wei Lin, the two of them..."

Mu Qingshan's eyebrows twitched, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had asked Han Yuantu to help Wei Lin, since he owed Wei Lin a huge favor.

Seeing Han Jie and Wei Lin now, who clearly have a very good relationship, he felt that Han Yuantu and his son had listened to his words.

This made him feel gratified.

……

In another private room upstairs.

Zhou Rong and Huo Shiqi arrived early, chatting and laughing, mostly about Wei Lin.

"Brother Wei, did you eat the beautician in your shop? Pshaw! He's shameless!"

Before Wei Lin arrived, Huo Shiqi complained to Zhou Rong, "Brother Wei is really good in every way, except he's too much of a womanizer! He's in Jinling City with a female coach, buying her houses and giving her shares in a pharmaceutical company."

"He's only been back a few days? How did he manage to get involved with one of your company's beauticians again?"

"Sigh, thinking about how good Sister Qing is, I don't even know what to say."

Zhuang Qing is her goddess, both cool and beautiful. She thinks Zhuang Qing and Wei Lin are the perfect match, and Wei Lin shouldn't let Zhuang Qing down.

But as far as she knows, Wei Lin already has several women around him.

Wei Lin truly trusted her and didn't shy away from talking to her much. She even reminded Feng Yuzhi to keep her mouth shut and not to say anything carelessly in front of others.

However, the thought that Zhuang Qing knew nothing still made Huo Shiqi feel quite uncomfortable.

Seeing her indignant expression, Zhou Rong couldn't help but advise, "Men are all like this. At least Wei Lin is responsible for those girls, so you should worry less about it."

Before long, Zhao Yuanqing arrived first, followed by Han Jie and Wei Lin.

Having meticulously groomed herself and dressed impeccably, Dai Yixuan, wearing a tulle dress adorned with many shimmering silver ornaments, arrived last.

"President Dai!"

"Sister Dai!"

As soon as she appeared, Zhou Rong and Huo Shiqi immediately stood up and greeted her with smiles.

Dai Yixuan and Zhu Jun met Wei Lin in Jinling City. They had a good chat and exchanged contact information afterwards, which also led to Huo Shiqi and Dai Yixuan keeping in touch privately.

Therefore, she addressed Dai as "Sister Dai," which made her seem closer to her than she was to Zhou Rong.

"Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time."

"Shiqi, your recent products are doing well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Dai Yixuan came over with a smile and sat down next to the two of them.

With everyone present, Wei Lin gestured to Zhao Yuanqing, asking him to arrange for the dishes to be served first. Then, he introduced Zhao Yuanqing to Dai Yixuan: "This is Zhao Yuanqing, who is not only the owner of this club but also my good brother."

Dai Yixuan smiled and nodded politely: "Hello, President Zhao."

"Yuan Qing, are you treating today?"

Cao Tao suddenly pushed open the door and said somewhat unhappily, "I looked at the menu, and it seems there aren't any big or fancy dishes! Isn't today Friday? Shouldn't the dishes be prepared in advance on Fridays?"

As he spoke, he simply nodded to Han Jie.

Zhao Yuanqing said with a wry smile, "Uncle Cao, the dishes prepared on Friday are just regular ones. The fancy dishes you mentioned need to be ordered a few days in advance. There's nothing I can do about it."

Cao Tao frowned and said, "Do you have any main dishes here? Could you spare a few for me? I'm inviting Mayor Mu today, so I can't be negligent!"
