I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 485 Choice of Affection
Wu Chong looked bewildered, staring blankly at Wei Lin, and remained silent for a long time.

Like Wei Lin, he also possessed extraordinary perception and insight, and he could clearly sense that Wei Lin's words came from the bottom of his heart.

"why?"

Wu Zhong suddenly gave a soft shout.

Wei Lin smiled slightly and calmly said, "If I were in his shoes, I would make the same choice."

Wu Chong narrowed his eyes and asked again, "Would you rather give up a benefactor who can greatly help you in your career, or someone who can help you for many years?"

“That’s right!” Wei Lin answered seriously first, and then explained, “I also have some very good elders in Linjiang City. They are not young either, and they have been kind to me.”

“Like Ma Yungui, who invested in the company, and Uncle An, who co-founded the hat factory with my father, they are both very important to me.”

“If they were in that age group and got cancer like Uncle Dong, and I happened to have a fruit of life in my hands, I would go and treat them.”

"Even though I know that these life fruits can only prolong their lives for a period of time, I will still do it."

Wei Lin spoke these words with deep sincerity.

Wu Chong listened attentively and nodded slightly. After he finished speaking, he said, "Why not choose the person who can be of great help to my business and who can help me for many years?"

Wei Lin chuckled and said, "Brother Wu, are you short of money?"

From that moment on, he stopped calling Wu Chong "Mr. Wu" and instead used a more intimate form of address.

Whether satisfied with Wei Lin's explanation or simply finding the new title "Brother Wu" more agreeable, Wu Zhong suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I don't lack money. I haven't lacked money for a long time."

Wei Lin followed suit, adding, "There's profit on one hand, and sentiment on the other. Since Brother Wu has no shortage of profit, he should choose sentiment!"

Wu Chong was even more pleased and nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a phone call in front of Wei Lin, and as soon as the call connected, he said, "Uncle Dong, come over here right now."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Chong took out a pill wrapped in gold paper from his pocket and winked at Wei Lin: "I've prepared everything for you."

Wei Lin was surprised: "Do it right away?"

Wu Zhong: "Yes!"

Before meeting Wei Lin in person, all his guesses and feelings remained superficial, and he still couldn't be sure what kind of person Wei Lin really was.

Xiao Bing's evaluation of Wei Lin, and the feedback from Li Rongcan and Zhang Li, can only be used as a reference.

You can know a person's face but not their heart, especially since he had never met Wei Lin before, so of course he wanted to examine Wei Lin's character.

At this moment, he felt that every word Wei Lin spoke came from the heart, and that he leaned towards feelings rather than interests, and was by no means the kind of petty person who was only interested in profit and greedy for money.

A glimpse through a tube reveals a whole leopard; Wei Lin passed the first test with him.

……

In the antique-style hall.

Dong Mu, who had his hair neatly combed and sat upright, was visibly taken aback when he received Wu Zhong's call.

"That's strange. I just sat down, why was I suddenly called over?"

Despite his doubts, he still got up as Wu Zhong instructed and headed towards the destination he knew.

Throughout the journey, he kept comparing Wei Lin and Wu Chong, feeling that they had many similarities.

Wei Lin is still very young now, but when he followed Wu Zhong, Wu Zhong wasn't much older than Wei Lin is now.

"Could this Wei Lin really be the successor he has chosen?"

The thought that Wu Zhong might gradually hand over his vast business empire, which he had built up over many years, to Wei Lin was unacceptable to Dong Mu.

He stayed by Wu Chong's side, witnessing firsthand how Wu Chong had created the world he was in with astonishing skill.

Wu Zhong is not like him. He is still so young. How could he think so far ahead?
"Child! Once the boss has his own child, he won't hand over his business empire to someone else." "Could it be that the boss really has some unspeakable secret?"

Dong Mu was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He had followed Wu Chong for many years and knew that Wu Chong had many beautiful women around him, and that all of them were truly in love with Wu Chong and wished they could bear him children.

Strangely, not a single woman has gotten pregnant so far.

Wu Zhong didn't search for any miracle cures or secret formulas regarding fertility, seemingly not caring at all.

He wasn't in a hurry, but his women were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan, trying every possible way to find out what was going on from Dong Mu.

Dong Mu was equally confused, and didn't want to ask too many questions, which made Wu Zhong's fertility an unsolved mystery.

"The boss didn't come to Wei Lin to solve this problem, did he?"

Dong Mu's eyes brightened slightly.

He learned of Wei Lin's existence from Wu Chong, and after learning Wei Lin's name and identity, he changed his approach to inquire about Wei Lin's whereabouts, thus learning some secrets.

—The fertility problems of Ma Yungui and the Qin family boy from Jinling City were both solved thanks to Wei Lin's prescription.

"Perhaps that's the reason!"

Dong Mu thought to himself.

……

"The system selects people regardless of their character or temperament."

With a faint smile on his lips, Wu Chong opened his heart a little and chatted with Wei Lin about the wonders of the Love Value System.

"As far as I know, there are also people like you and me who are favored by the love value system, but who do evil everywhere. One of them died mysteriously many years ago while abroad."

"I spent a lot of time and resources to finally get his diary, only to find out that he was just like the two of us."

“Through the diary, I also learned how many evil deeds he had committed. I never imagined that a person, after possessing such power, could truly be so reckless as to commit evil.”

"I once thought you would do the same."

Wu Zhong let out a soft sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness you're not."

Wei Lin was horrified: "Are there really many people like you and me who have been favored by the Love Value System?"

“There must be some, but I don’t know how much.” Wu Chong pondered, then subconsciously looked up at the ceiling and said, “In some unknown place that we don’t know about, there must be some mysterious being that can quietly watch over us. The Love Value System’s gift might just be a test for this being.”

"It could also be some kind of experiment to examine our humanity and our choices in love."

"Compared to this being, we are both too insignificant; we can never fathom the other."

At this point, he sighed dejectedly: "Money, power, social status—once you have them, you'll find they're not all that great."

"Because you and I will eventually die, we are not immortal."

"Wei Lin, it's all meaningless. Many times I feel that nothing is meaningful."

Wu Chong was suddenly filled with a strong sense of sadness and loss, giving people a strange feeling that he was tired of this world and wanted to find another kind of relief.

At this time.

"Boom boom boom!"

Heavy footsteps approached rapidly; the voices did not belong to Dong Mu, but rather to several people coming together.
