117: Chapter 117 Two Women Stay Overnight
After exchanging some pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Lin Yongbo noticed that Zhao Xiaoshuai hadn't mentioned the bad blood between them, so he felt that he probably didn't take it too seriously.
As long as he found the right moment to bring it up and punish himself with a drink, he should be able to smooth things over, just like Jiang Qin did.
"Speaking of which, Brother Zhao and I got to know each other through a confrontation."
"Not long ago, at a fitness center called iSport, I saw a beautiful coach with an amazing face and an invincible figure!"
"I wanted to go chat her up, but Brother Zhao beat me to it and booked up all of that female coach's classes."
"I was young and ignorant back then, and I even thought about messing with Brother Zhao."
"I went home and used my family's connections to make the owner of that fitness center change the rules, thinking I could get the upper hand over Brother Zhao, but guess what happened?"
Gossip is always the most attractive thing. Lin Yongbo's words successfully drew everyone's interest, and even Xing Tianjie cast an interested gaze his way.
Zhao Xiaoshuai just watched him with a smile. It was his first time experiencing a fully automated flex, and it actually seemed quite fun.
"In the end, Brother Zhao went upstairs, found the owner of iSport, and bought the entire fitness center outright!"
"Holy cow!" "So domineering!" "As expected of Boss Zhao!" "Is this what a super-rich tycoon is like? Just like in the novels!" Everyone exclaimed in endless admiration.
After everyone calmed down a bit, Lin Yongbo continued:
"I heard it cost seven million in total, but Brother Zhao didn't even blink. That was when I knew the gap between Brother Zhao and me was truly beyond imagination."
"Come, Brother Zhao, I'll toast you. From now on in Chuncheng, we should all get closer."
Zhao Xiaoshuai nodded and matched him with a drink.
He had done a little investigation later and found that the Lin family basically controlled the equipment supply sector in Chuncheng. Although Lin Yongbo couldn't represent the Lin family, there was no harm in being on good terms with him.
If his little girlfriend wanted to run iSport well, the Lin family's support was indeed indispensable.
Seeing these big shots gathered together, Song Jiang couldn't help but have some thoughts of his own.
Although "three generals kill" was just a small game, that guild was filled with his hard work. If these people took it seriously, even that unfathomable Billionaire Boss should be no match for them.
He first steered the conversation toward the game, and after everyone started chatting about it with nostalgia, he suddenly changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, that Billionaire Boss can really be proud of himself. He probably doesn't even know that he inadvertently defeated so many real big shots."
Lin Yongbo thought he knew the identity of that Billionaire Boss, so he smiled and didn't respond.
Xing Tianjie, however, was somewhat moved. "Because I made a pact with my elder sister, it's not convenient for me to spend too much money in the game, so I really can't beat that Billionaire Boss."
"But, Old Zhao, with your net worth and style, tossing out a million or two is just pocket change, right? Are you just going to admit defeat like that?"
The task of dominating the server had never been completely finished. In essence, although several people had been defeated, they hadn't completely quit the game.
Although their spirit had been dampened, if Xing Tianjie were to get serious, it wasn't impossible for them to keep dragging it out.
Therefore, his second goal today was to act as the big brother who leads the investment.
"Of course, I don't care about a million or two."
"However, for every opponent, I estimate a value. That person exceeded my estimate, so that counts as my defeat."
"Playing a game is just for fun anyway, no need to take it too seriously. Losing is losing."
"I've already planned to quit the game. I'll switch to another game to play around with later. Is Young Master Jie interested?"
Although Xing Tianjie felt a bit of regret, it was indeed as the other party said; he played games just for fun, and he only played this small game because he liked the Three Kingdoms period.
If one's skills are inferior, one should calmly face defeat. He believed this was also something his sister wanted him to comprehend.
"You're still the carefree one, Old Zhao. Then I won't play either. But I'm about to enter the group to learn some real things, so I probably won't have much time to play games in the future."
"By the way, Old Zhao, what exactly do you do? I've never heard of someone like you in Chuncheng before."
Zhao Xiaoshuai, of course, stuck to his old script. "Just lucky, inherited a small inheritance from a relative, not much money. Now I just wander around the city every day and enjoy life."
Xing Tianjie didn't ask any further; he knew at least that much etiquette.
Since Xing Tianjie wasn't playing anymore, Lin Yongbo originally should have had no reason to continue, but he was now convinced that Ling Rui was also playing this game, so he planned to accompany her to play and cultivate their relationship.
Although it was a pity for Song Jiang, since the big bosses were no longer interested, he could only lay down this "foundation."
Success or failure, it all turns to empty air in the end.
However, getting to know these big bosses could be considered a blessing in disguise. He changed his train of thought, raised a glass of wine, and continued chatting warmly.
Seeing that the time was about right, Lin Yongbo chuckled, "Let's change places and take you brothers to play something fun."
Although the KTV they were going to next wasn't low-class, it clearly wasn't up to the standard that he, the young master of Hengtian, would play at. Xing Tianjie said directly:
"I'm really sorry, but I still have to report the process of hosting the distinguished guests today to my father tonight. I can't accompany you all. Yongbo, you must help me take good care of the brothers tonight."
As he spoke, he transferred fifty thousand to Lin Yongbo. He kept asking him for favors, but he couldn't let him spend his own money too.
This money was enough for them to have two each, with some left over.
As for KTVs, the former Zhao Xiaoshuai might have yearned for them, but the current him looked down on them a bit.
After seeing this club of Hengtian, he figured the top girl at that KTV would at most be a seven out of ten in looks, the level of someone you'd swipe a bronze card for at most.
Besides, he had a fragrant little girlfriend waiting for him at home tonight, so he definitely wouldn't waste his time and ammunition on those mediocre women.
So he then spoke up: "I just bought a house, and I need to go back and take a look at it today. I won't be able to go crazy with you all, but you all should enjoy yourselves to the fullest tonight."
As he spoke, he transferred seventy thousand to Lin Yongbo. "Yongbo, you can spend the rest as you see fit. Thank you for your hard work today."
"We're all brothers, no trouble at all."
With these seven or eight people, there was no way they could spend 120,000 in one night just on entertainment; he estimated at least half would be left over.
Although with his net worth he didn't really care about this bit of money, he had indeed been running around all day, and getting a little errand fee put him in a much better mood.
After parting ways with everyone, Hengtian's club provided very attentive service, equipping a staff member to act as a designated driver to take Zhao Xiaoshuai home.
Meng Yawen and Chu Xinyi had been busy all afternoon, and the traces of their redecorating were left everywhere in the huge mansion.
Subconsciously, both of them were treating this place as their own home to manage.
"Xinyi, it's so late, shall I send you back?"
"What are you doing, kicking me out! There are so many rooms here, I can just stay in one."
"That works too."
Meng Yawen felt embarrassed to say the words to kick her out, because theoretically, she wasn't the hostess here either.
However, with so many rooms and such a big house, she felt relieved again. As long as they weren't on the same floor, it was no different from living in different places.
She had tested it today; the soundproofing in the rooms here was quite good, so it shouldn't let Xiao Yi hear anything she shouldn't.
Thinking of what was going to happen tonight, her cheeks couldn't help but flush red, and she revealed a sweet smile.
"Sister Wenwen, what are you giggling about?"
"Nothing, your brother-in-law sent a text saying he'll be home soon. I'm going to the underground garage to greet him."
"Why did brother-in-law only text you and not me! Hmph, I'm going down too. Just watch me sneak up and kick his butt!"
