Metropolis: It’s a showdown, I am the richest man in the world

Liu Xiaoshuang gently broke away from Li Lingwei's hand, looked at her with complicated eyes, and spoke lightly.

"Li Lingwei, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that... our relationship didn't seem to be that good when we were in high school, right?"

These words were like a thorn, piercing into Li Lingwei's heart.

She was stunned, the expression on her face seemed to be frozen.

She recalled every bit of her high school days. Indeed, her relationship with Liu Xiaoshuang was not close.

Those so-called "friendships" are nothing more than her wishful thinking.

Liu Xiaoshuang's words were like a mirror, reflecting Li Lingwei's fragile self-esteem and false friendship.

She suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

She leaned against the wall weakly, staring blankly ahead.

It was also at this time that the owner of the restaurant came out and recognized Lin Yuan. After all, Lin Yuan's Wangxiangju was one of the best in Luo City, and they had already heard of Lin Yuan.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Lin? Nice to meet you."

"Huh? Do you know me?"

"You're just joking. Who doesn't know you, Boss Lin, in restaurants in Luocheng? After all, Wangxiangju is one of the best restaurants."

The boss quickly explained.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and responded politely: "Boss, thank you very much. I hope Xiangju can achieve what it does today without everyone's support and efforts."

He looked around and noticed that the interior was very homely decorated and gave off a warm atmosphere.

He nodded and said to his boss.

"Your store is very unique and the environment is tastefully decorated."

After hearing this, the boss showed a proud smile on his face, and he introduced proudly.

"Boss Lin is really discerning. He has put a lot of thought into my store. From location selection to decoration to the selection of dishes, every step is carefully planned."

As he spoke, he pointed to several calligraphy and paintings on the wall and continued.

"I personally selected these, hoping to bring some cultural atmosphere to customers."

Lin Yuan followed the boss's words and turned his eyes to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

Each piece reveals a simple and elegant atmosphere, which seems to allow people to travel through time and space and immerse themselves in the palace of ancient culture.

He came closer and took a closer look, and saw that the brushstrokes were smooth and the ink was of appropriate shades. Every detail revealed the author's ingenuity.

He couldn't help but admire that the owner of this store was indeed a person with good taste.

Dining in such an environment, you can not only taste delicious food, but also feel the strong cultural atmosphere. It is indeed a rare enjoyment.

Lin Yuan looked at these calligraphy and paintings, and felt an impulse to create in his heart.

At this moment, seeing the boss running this store with such care, he couldn't help but want to leave something for this store.

"Boss, I also like calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can borrow your precious land so that I can paint some ink?"

Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

When the boss heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

"Really? Boss Lin, you also want to pick up the pen yourself? That would be great! I will prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you right away!"

After saying that, the boss turned around and trotted into a room.

After a while, he came out with a set of exquisite four treasures of the study and carefully placed them in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked at the Four Treasures of the Study in front of him, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He gently stroked the penholder, feeling the familiar texture, as if he had returned to the days when he was swiping pen and ink. After all, the last time he started writing was calligraphy.

He turned to look at his boss and smiled.

"It seems that you, boss, also like calligraphy!"

When the boss heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. He nodded and said excitedly.

"Boss Lin is such a close friend! I do have a special liking for calligraphy, but my level is limited and I can only appreciate it but not create it."

As he spoke, he took a few steps back and stood aside, staring closely at Lin Yuan's hand.

I saw Lin Yuan dip his hands in ink, flick his pen, and a calligraphy work appeared on the paper.

There is a vivid beauty flowing between the strokes, as if they are alive.

The boss was dumbfounded and admired secretly in his heart.

"I didn't expect that Boss Lin's calligraphy skills are so high! He is simply a role model for us."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and said modestly.

"The boss has praised me, but I only know a little bit about it."

He looked up at his boss and saw him looking at him with admiration, his eyes shining with excitement.

Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little proud, but he quickly suppressed this emotion. After all, he knew what his level was.

"Boss, what do you think of this calligraphy?"

he asked, pointing to the work on the table.

The boss came forward and looked at the words carefully, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"Great! It's such a wonderful painting! Boss Lin, your calligraphy is simply beyond the reach of us mortals! Can I hang it in the store?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the boss's request.

The boss was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Li Lingwei on the side to hang up Lin Yuan's works.

Under the urging of her boss, Li Lingwei quickly walked to the table and carefully picked up the calligraphy.

Her fingers touched the paper lightly, as if she could feel Lin Yuan's breath while writing.

However, at this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

"etc."

His voice was calm and firm, making Li Lingwei's movements freeze instantly.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Yuan doubtfully.

Lin Yuan walked to her, his eyes fell on the calligraphy and painting in her hand, and he said lightly.

"It's better for me to hang the calligraphy and painting. I don't want my work to be dirty by your hands."

When the boss heard this, he immediately realized something was wrong. He turned to look at Lin Yuan, and saw a cold light shining in Lin Yuan's eyes, like a sharp blade.

The joy in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable fear.

Li Lingwei also felt the sudden change in the atmosphere. She looked at Lin Yuan nervously, at a loss.

"Boss Lin, did my employee offend you?"

"Ah~ that's right."

After receiving Lin Yuan's affirmative answer, the boss's face instantly turned gloomy.

He glared at Li Lingwei and said in a stern tone.

"Li Lingwei, do you know your mistake?"

Li Lingwei was trembling with fright at the sudden change of her boss. She clutched the calligraphy and painting in her hand tightly, not knowing how to answer.

The boss no longer looked at her, but turned to Lin Yuan and said with a smile.

"Boss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

After saying that, he turned back suddenly and said loudly to Li Lingwei.

"From today on, you don't have to come to work anymore!"

When Li Lingwei heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She looked at her boss in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears.
