Chapter 377 Private Talk in the Private Room
I really didn't expect that little Ba would have such a temper. Even after all this time, she still remembers that I called her Fatty.
I shook my head as I walked to Fatty Lin's room next door and knocked three times.
No one responded.
I knocked three more times.
Who is it?
No sooner had he finished knocking than Fatty Lin's impatient voice came from inside.
"Your dad!"
I said irritably.
"Grass!"
Fatty Lin shouted back a single word.
About half a minute later, the door was suddenly pulled open, and Fatty Lin, wearing a bathrobe, looked at me with a resentful expression and said, "You lunatic, you'd better give me a reasonable excuse for knocking on the door so early!"
"Chen Weishan called!" I said.
"He made a phone call?" Fatty Lin's resentment immediately subsided.
"Yes, I just got it!" I nodded and explained the situation.
"Come in, let's talk!"
Fatty Lin turned around and walked back.
I followed her in and sat down in the outer living room. The bedroom door was open, and I could see a section of her arm sticking out from under the covers.
After taking one look, I deliberately chose a sofa with my back to the bedroom to sit down, just in case Ni'er brings Xiao Ba over later, that little thing will definitely cause trouble.
After I sat down, Fatty Lin glanced at me, chuckled, and got up to close the bedroom door.
"You bastard, you deliberately framed me, didn't you?"
After being together for so many years, I know exactly what he's going to do the moment he bends over. He deliberately left the bedroom door open.
"You've been framed!"
Fatty Lin firmly denied it, saying, "You're crazy! You came here to talk business, let's not talk about nonsense!"
"You're such a dog!"
I gave Fatty Lin the middle finger and didn't pursue the matter further. I then began to recount the contents of Chen Weishan's phone call.
"You're crazy, you did the right thing. We had to keep him in check. Otherwise, he can come and go as he pleases. What does he take us brothers for?"
After I finished speaking, Fatty Lin was very satisfied with my reply.
"I think we shouldn't rush back. Let's stay in Guangzhou for a couple more days, let Chen Weishan spend another time with Luo Yufu, and wait until Luo Yufu completely breaks down his psychological defenses before we talk about it!"
Fatty Lin pondered for a moment and then said.
"You don't want to go back, is it because of the one in the bedroom?" I looked at Fatty Lin suspiciously and gestured towards the bedroom.
"You lunatic, what kind of person do you think I am?" Fatty Lin said with a righteous expression.
"Don't give me that crap, I know you best!" I scoffed.
"hey-hey!"
After staring at me for half a second, Fatty Lin grinned and said, "Crazy, I do have my own little schemes, but that doesn't affect the overall situation. Chen Weishan still has a sliver of hope for Luo Yufu; it's not time to despair yet. If we go back now, he might just pull the same trick as last time, hesitating and wavering!"
"He needs to spend time with Luo Yufu again, let him experience what it feels like to be completely exhausted, then he'll behave!"
"Um!"
I nodded; that's indeed the case.
Humans are inherently fickle; they won't behave unless they experience despair.
If Chen Weishan were truly desperate, he would never have waited in vain on Hong Kong Island; he would have chosen to come to Guangzhou to find us. Yet, he didn't mention coming to Guangzhou at all.
What does this mean? It means he still holds onto a sliver of hope.
"Alright, you can go back now. I still need to train a bit!"
After discussing their strategy, Fatty Lin gestured towards the gate with his chin.
"I'm absolutely right to call you a dog!"
I was too lazy to scold him, so I tapped him.
"Yes, yes, I am a dog, so what?"
Fatty Lin shook his head and even barked twice.
After calling out, he walked to the bedroom door, gave me a smug smile, and said, "I'm off to train. Listen for my voice if you're not leaving!"
"Get lost!"
I propped myself up on the sofa, stood up, and gave him the middle finger.
Back in the room, Xiao Ba glanced at me sideways and continued munching on her apple.
Normally, I would have said something like, "You're already so fat, eat less." But this time, I didn't tease her. Instead, I told Long Nier about Fatty Lin's plan.
While I was talking, Xiao Ba had her back to me, but her little head was tilted to the side the whole time, and she wasn't even concentrating on eating the apple.
This little thing is eavesdropping!
"Fatty's plan is quite good!" Long Ni'er nodded after listening, her gaze lingering on me for a moment before she said, "Brother, don't get any funny ideas these next few days!"
"Ni'er, you saw it too, I remained completely unmoved yesterday!" I quickly said.
After I finished speaking, I realized I had said the wrong thing.
Sure enough, Long Nier's face immediately darkened.
My composure wasn't just limited to those dancers; even with Nier, whom I slept in the same bed with last night, I didn't do anything.
But this is something that can't be explained.
"Ni'er, do you think Boss Shui has another purpose in inviting us here this time?"
Realizing something was wrong, I immediately changed the subject.
"snort!"
Long Nier didn't answer, but stared at me for a long time before snorting and saying, "Let's see how long you can hide!"
After saying that, she turned away and ignored me.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Fine, I'll ignore him then. It's better than him pinching me.
At 2 p.m., in a private room on the 41st floor, I sipped the tea that Assistant Zhao had just brewed, waiting for Boss Shui to speak.
Fatty Lin looks similar to me, except that he grabbed Assistant Zhao's hand when Assistant Zhao poured him tea.
"Xiao Lin, the matter in Pengcheng is basically settled!"
After we had all brewed our tea, Mr. Shui slowly began to speak.
"It's settled then. You guys calculate which plots have bad feng shui, and we two brothers will fix them!" Fatty Lin said nonchalantly.
"Oh, by the way, a minimum of five million for each plot of land, with the amount increasing depending on the difficulty of the situation!"
After saying that, Fatty Lin added another sentence.
"Xiao Lin, there's something I need to tell you!" Mr. Shui said after a moment's thought.
"Brother Hao, given our relationship, just tell me what's wrong!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's right, this time we got far less land than we expected. Many plots were taken by Mr. Yu from Huanian Real Estate!" Mr. Shui said.
"Who is Boss Yu?" Fatty Lin asked, feigning ignorance.
I have to say, Fatty Lin's acting is really good; I couldn't find any flaws in his performance.
"Mr. Yu!"
After a moment's thought, Mr. Shui revealed Mr. Yu's background.
"Brother Hao, General Manager Jin, Brother Li, General Manager Zhang, we two brothers are only responsible for resolving the feng shui issues of the land. We can't handle anything else, especially since General Manager Yu's status is just too high; there's nothing we can do!"
Fatty Lin said with a forced wry smile.
"Xiao Lin, Boss Shui doesn't want you to deal with Boss Yu, but Boss Yu wants you to help her solve the feng shui problems of the land she's taking over!" Jin Gu said.
"Mr. Jin, have you reached an agreement?"
Upon hearing Jin Gu's words, Fatty Lin's face fell.
"No, isn't this just asking for your opinions?" Jin Gu said.
"Xiao Lin, it's mainly Boss Yu who wants to meet you!" Boss Shui added.
