Chapter 117: 064: The big boss is right next to me!_1

This might seem rather narcissistic.

But when Lin Wu said it, there wasn’t a hint of incongruity; her eyes curved into a smile, her delicate, peach-blossom pupils clear and bottomless, seemingly capable of drawing one in, exceptionally beautiful.

Shen Lijun was infected by her mood and reached out to link arms with Lin Wu, "Then I must be the second greatest beauty in the universe!"

"Right, exactly!"

Soon, the two of them walked out of the small courtyard.

It was the rush hour period after work, everywhere was experiencing traffic jams, the hotpot restaurant wasn’t far from here, only about three kilometers away, so Lin Wu suggested riding there.

Though Shen Lijun didn’t have a bicycle, there were share-bikes everywhere along the road, she could scan any one and ride.

The sun was setting.

The two girls rode their bicycles along the boulevard lined with plane trees.

Laughing and talking, youthfully carefree.

Catching the glances of passing pedestrians.

Shen Lijun hadn’t ridden a bike like this in many years and she sped up to ride alongside Lin Wu, laughing as she asked, "Xiao Wu, do you often go out by bike?"

"Mhm." Lin Wu nodded slightly.

Shen Lijun said with a smile, "The last time I remember riding a bike was in primary school."

Back then, her family was still very average.

Both parents were wage earners.

During her sixth-grade year, her father suddenly struck it rich, and from then on, their whole family moved to an upscale villa community, Shen Lijun also transferred to a prestigious school, and from that point forward, luxury cars ferried her wherever she went.

Finishing her story, Shen Lijun said with a smile, "I feel like I’ve returned to my childhood."

Carefree.

Very happy.

Lin Wu slightly turned her head, "Before coming to Qing City, I also hadn’t ridden a bike for a long time."

Shen Lijun asked curiously, "Xiao Wu, you’re not a local from Qing City?"

"No," Lin Wu continued, "I’m from Flower River Lincheng Town."

Even if everyone ridiculed Lincheng Town as a small place.

Lin Wu never deliberately hid her hometown.

Shen Lijun smiled looking at Lin Wu, "Your hometown must have great Feng Shui."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Wu raised an eyebrow.

Shen Lijun said, "Just look at you."

Does an average place produce someone as pretty as Lin Wu?

"Lijun, you really do have an eye for quality."

Before long.

They arrived at the hotpot restaurant.

Just in time for dinner.

When the two of them arrived, queuing had already started at the entrance.

There were a total of twenty tables in line.

Lin Wu looked at Shen Lijun, "Should we go to another place?"

Shen Lijun said, "Since we’re here, let’s line up, shall we? If they’ve got such a long queue, the taste must be really good."

Lin Wu nodded slightly, feeling Shen Lijun made sense.

So the two took a number ticket and decided to wait in line to see just how good this hotpot tasted.

Repair shop.

Xue Jinghao rushed over to Lu Ye, "Third Brother!"

"Speak," Lu Ye’s answer was short and to the point.

Xue Jinghao continued, "The people the Su Family had watching you have pulled out. It seems they have dropped their suspicions."

Lu Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly, "A bunch of useless fools."

He had been somewhat worried his attendance at the last party might have exposed something.

But now it seemed.

The men raised by Su Dashan were all good-for-nothings.

After speaking, Lu Ye took off his gloves, "Let’s prepare to finish up for the day."

"Alright." Xue Jinghao nodded.

Soon after, Xue Jinghao locked the door, "Third Brother, let’s go for hotpot tonight? A new place has opened nearby, and there’s a queue every evening, heard the taste is really good!"

Lu Ye frowned slightly, "Not interested."

He always disliked eating such things.

No nutrition.

Unsanitary.

And so spicy it hurts the throat, not at all delicious.

Xue Jinghao followed Lu Ye’s steps, "Third Brother, I know the investor of the place, we won’t have to queue to eat."

"Not going." Lu Ye repeated his earlier refusal.

"Third Brother, give it a try," Xue Jinghao persisted cheekily, grabbing Lu Ye’s sleeve and acting spoiled, which gave Lu Ye goosebumps.

"Can’t you act normal?"

"Where am I not acting normal?" At the end, Xue Jinghao even linked his arm through Lu Ye’s.

Lu Ye immediately withdrew his arm and walked ahead quickly, keeping his distance from Xue Jinghao.

Xue Jinghao immediately caught up with Lu Ye, pointing toward a brightly lit storefront by the road, "Third Brother, look, that’s the hotpot restaurant. Doesn’t it look quite successful?"

A crowd was standing at the entrance, waiting in line.

Lu Ye’s gaze swept past, then suddenly paused, and he turned his head towards Xue Jinghao, "You know the person in charge of that place?"

"Yeah." Xue Jinghao nodded.

Lu Ye gave a slight nod, then stepped forward, "Then let’s give it a try."

Xue Jinghao was stunned.

He almost thought he was hallucinating.
