I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 461: Crazy

If Mu Qingshan hadn't specifically mentioned him, Wei Lin wouldn't have been willing to come here.

Cao Tao, relying on his wealth, pressured Zhao Yuanqing to change the dishes and acted arrogantly in his private room, which made Zhao Yuanqing uncomfortable.

He had been quite restrained earlier, not even uttering a curse, which was already giving Zhao Yuanqing face.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Cao Tao's private room, he only offered Mu Qingshan a toast, but Cao Tao jumped out to criticize him.

"Your name is Wei Lin, right?"

Cao Tao's face was grim, and he glared at him with hostility. He said, "This club belongs to Zhao Fulong. I went there to see his son, Zhao Yuanqing! What do you mean by causing a scene in your private room? I just asked Yuanqing to say a few words. How did that disturb you?"

Wei Lin grinned and said, "Then I came over to offer Mayor Mu a toast. I only came to see Mayor Mu, not you, President Cao. How am I bothering you?"

Cao Tao coldly rebuked, "I told you, you're disturbing Mayor Mu's peace and quiet! Who are you? Does Mayor Mu even know you?"

He naturally assumed that Wei Lin was shamelessly begging Han Jie in order to get noticed by Mu Qingshan.

He'd seen plenty of people like that.

"President Cao!"

Before Mu Qingshan could speak, Han Jie suddenly began to reveal another side of himself.

He turned to Cao Tao, his face cold, and said, "I, Han Jie, am bringing a friend to toast Mayor Mu. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room suddenly fell silent.

Mu Qingshan, who was about to speak, also fell silent, watching him, Wei Lin, and Cao Tao with great interest.

Cao Tao was visibly taken aback.

This wasn't the first time he and Han Jie had met. They had interacted many times at various business occasions and banquets hosted by the government or local veteran entrepreneurs.

In his eyes, Han Jie was always humble and low-key, and always polite to everyone.

When facing him, Han Jie also regarded himself as a junior, never showing any sharpness or edge.

This made him think that Han Jie was just a junior, so whenever he met Han Jie, he would still habitually act like an old man and not take Han Jie seriously.

The same is true today.

But he didn't expect that Han Jie, who had just knocked on the door and barged in without waiting for him to speak, would choose to treat him with an aggressive attitude right in front of Mu Qingshan.

Han Jie is Han Yuantu's son and the current head of Hanli Group!
He had to think it over.

"Han Jie, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant! I know Mayor Mu knows you, and it's perfectly fine for you to come and toast him. I meant..."

Cao Tao looked at Wei Lin, thinking that Wei Lin shouldn't have come over.

"Mayor Mu also knows Wei Lin!"

Han Jie, with a cold face, showed no politeness to Cao Tao, saying, "We are both juniors. Knowing that our elders are dining in the next private room, it is only right for us to come over and offer a toast."

Upon hearing this, Cao Tao was taken aback again.

Mu Qingshan nodded with a smile and finally spoke: "I know Han Jie and Wei Lin, and I'm the one who invited them over. President Cao, it's just a toast, there's nothing to it, you're making a mountain out of a molehill."

Cao Tao broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

He never expected that Mu Qingshan was not only familiar with Han Jie, but also knew Wei Lin.

Mu Qingshan's words immediately turned his previous actions into a joke.

Cao Tao suddenly realized from Mu Qingshan's attitude that both Han Jie and Wei Lin were closer to Mu Qingshan.

"Mayor Mu!"

Wei Lin raised the wine pot, clinked it with Mu Qingshan with a grin, tilted his head back and drank the wine in the pot, then left the private room with Han Jie.

……

"Brother Han, I thought you were someone who would never have a temper."

As soon as he left the private room, Wei Lin laughed.

Han Jie curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Cao Tao thinks too highly of himself. His cable factory is indeed doing quite well, but compared to Han Li, it's not even on the same level yet."

"In terms of connections and resources, Cao Tao is far behind, and I don't know where his confidence comes from."

Han Jie shook his head and chuckled silently.

His politeness and humility were based on how others treated him, and Cao Tao clearly lacked understanding of him.

Once or twice would be one thing, but after it happened so many times, Han Jie was already quite unhappy. In addition, Cao Tao brought up Wei Lin, which made him even more annoyed.

……

Cao Tao was rebuffed. He apologized to Mu Qingshan, drank a cup of wine as punishment, and then sulked with resentment.

"Wei Lin, a hat maker."

Cao Tao grew increasingly agitated. He excused himself to go to the restroom and dialed Zhuang Dasheng's number, saying, "Old Zhuang, do you know a kid who makes hats named Wei Lin?"

Zhuang Dasheng laughed and said, "I know! So what?"

"How's his hat factory doing? What's his relationship with Han Jie? Is Han Jie interested in getting into hats and planning to invest in him?"

Cao Tao asked bluntly.

He figured that Mu Qingshan knew Wei Lin because Han Jie had introduced him, and that Wei Lin was just someone Mu Qingshan knew by name.

Zhuang Dasheng clearly sensed something was wrong from his tone, so he said in a low voice, "No, you're asking what Wei Lin really wants?"

"I don't really like him!"

Cao Tao didn't hold back and sneered, "Old Zhuang, you're the leader in the hat industry in Linjiang City. Can't you give me some face and teach that kid a lesson?"

Zhuang Dasheng laughed strangely and said, "I can't give it! I can't give it even a little bit!"

Cao Tao was taken aback: "Why?"

Zhuang Dasheng found it amusing, so he didn't tell the truth and deliberately teased him: "I also thought about giving him a hard time, but I didn't manage to! If you have the ability, then you can try it yourself, I can't do it!"

After saying that, he didn't give Cao Tao a chance to ask any further questions and hung up the phone, saying that he had something to do.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he immediately called Wei Lin and told him that Cao Tao wanted to ask him to help Xin Lin.

……

"Why is Lao Zhuang acting so strangely? He makes hats, and he's in Linjiang City, how could he not succeed?"

Cao Tao was taken aback.

"This guy is Yuan Qing's friend. I wonder if Lao Zhao knows him. Let me ask him!"

Cao Tao called Zhao Fulong again and said, "There's this guy named Wei Lin, who says he's Yuan Qing's friend and makes hats. Old Zhao, do you know this kid? He was dining here with you today, and he was quite rude!"

The place around Zhao Fulong was bustling with noise, and he couldn't hear it clearly at first, so he asked again after a moment.

After learning the whole story, Zhao Fulong pondered for a moment and said, "Old Cao, just focus on your meal and keep Mayor Mu company. Don't go asking around about anything else."

"As for Wei Lin, don't bother him. It won't do you any good."

"That's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you."

Zhao Fulong also hung up the phone beforehand.

same.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he contacted Wei Lin and told him about Cao Tao asking him for information.

After speaking with Wei Lin, Zhao Fulong privately messaged Zhao Yuanqing, asking his son to find out what was going on.

……

Wei Lin's private room.

Not long after returning, and after only drinking a glass of wine as punishment at Dai Yixuan's place, Wei Lin received two phone calls.

After hanging up the phone, he shook his head and chuckled, then said to Han Jie and Zhao Yuanqing, who was texting his father, "Cao Tao seems to be jealous of me! He's been looking for your dad and Uncle Zhuang."

Zhao Yuanqing frowned: "Don't pay any attention to him. He's old, and he probably feels that you're not giving him face."

Wei Lin complained, "Why doesn't he try to get back at Brother Han? Brother Han doesn't give him any face at all! Why is it that all he keeps asking about is me?"

Dai Yixuan was amused by him and said, "Han Jie is the richest man in Linjiang City. What are you, Wei Lin, compared to him?"

Everyone burst into laughter at these words, even Han Jie was laughing.

"No way, I'm going to go and cause some trouble!"

Wei Lin stood up angrily, grabbed a bottle of wine, and headed towards Cao Tao's private room.

"I go with you!"

Dai Yixuan suddenly became interested. She chased after them and told Han Jie and Zhao Yuanqing to stop, saying, "We two can go over there. Don't go and cause trouble!"

Han Jie and Zhao Yuanqing looked at each other, wondering what had gotten into her.
