Chapter 520 Banquet 2
"This is no longer cheap wine!"
Fatty Lin picked up a bottle of Moutai with a metal cap, shook it lightly, and said, "Mr. He, you're too kind!"
"Brother Zai, my boss He is always very generous to his friends!"
Wen Haichao turned slightly to the side, placed his hand on Fatty Lin's arm, and gently squeezed it.
I glanced at her. Wen Haichao was in his early forties, a mature age.
She came today wearing a form-fitting burgundy velvet dress that accentuated her shapely figure and made her skin appear even whiter. Combined with her nail polish painted in a nutmeg color and bright red lips, she was simply a raging storm.
Especially that one "Brother Zai," it sent chills down your spine.
"Oh, is that so?" Fatty Lin put down his wine, placed his hand on Wen Haichao's hand, and looked at He Guangzu.
"Master Lin, Sister Ru knows my character best. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Ru!" He Guangzu saw through Fatty Lin's little tricks perfectly well, but he showed no displeasure on his face and even pulled Zhou Peiru into the conversation.
"Sister Ru, is that so?"
Fatty Lin turned his head and put his hand down.
"Our CEO He is the most generous!" Zhou Peiru said with a smile and a meaningful nod.
"Okay, I like generous people the most!"
After receiving a positive answer from Zhou Peiru, Fatty Lin laughed.
Over the next half hour, as dishes were served one after another and drinks were consumed one glass after another, the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly lively.
He Guangzu frequently toasted Fatty Lin, subtly probing into Fatty Lin's connections and relationships.
Fatty Lin is best at bragging. He can make even someone with no connections sound like a big shot, let alone someone with connections.
From Lui, the gambling king's personal feng shui master, to the Big D Society's personal feng shui master, from Shui Zong to Third Master, from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, and from the mainland to Taiwan, across the three regions, Lin Pangzi is a friend everywhere.
The key point is that each and every one of these events has empirical evidence.
Whether they are gangsters, wealthy tycoons, or political and business figures, we have all crossed paths with them and had contact with them.
These stories, after being slightly embellished by Fatty Lin, are highly credible.
He Guangzu's eyes lit up as he listened.
These people and these relationships were things he had intentionally inquired about.
Fatty Lin was a wicked fellow. Every time He Guangzu brought up the matter of introductions, he would dodge the topic and talk about the next big shot, which made He Guangzu very eager.
After downing more than half a jin of liquor, He Guangzu saw that Fatty Lin was unmoved and couldn't hold back any longer.
Long Nier and I both saw all of this.
He Guangzu's appearance was truly laughable; he didn't look like a vice president of a major bank at all.
After drinking another glass of wine, He Guangzu couldn't hold on any longer. He picked up the decanter, filled Lin Pangzi's glass, and said, "Brother Zai, to be honest, I haven't been having a good time lately. Several big clients have been snatched away by competitors. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position!"
"Brother Zu, aren't you the vice president? You also have performance pressure?" Fatty Lin asked, pretending not to understand.
The way the two addressed each other was quite interesting; one called the other "Brother Zai," and the other called the other "Brother Zu."
It's understandable that Fatty Lin calls He Guangzu "Brother Zu," since He Guangzu is older than him.
But calling He Guangzu "Brother Zai" makes no sense.
Actually, he was just following Wen Haichao's lead. Wen Haichao called Lin Pangzi "Fatty" because he saw Zhou Peiru calling him "Fatty."
This terminology is quite confusing.
"Why!"
He Guangzu sighed and said, "Brother Zai, to be honest, I've never had a very stable position as vice president, especially in the last two years. The pressure has been so great that my blood pressure has gone up!"
"Brother Zai, you have a wide network of connections, and you associate with either superstars in the arts or political and business figures. If you have the chance, how about helping me make some connections? As long as I can secure my position, I can satisfy any benefits you want."
In the end, Ho Kwong-cho made no attempt to hide his urgency.
"Well..."
Fatty Lin didn't answer, but began to ponder.
Seeing an opening, He Guangzu glanced at Wen Haichao, a nauseating smile playing on his lips, and said, "Brother Zai, let's put aside the introduction for now. You know Haichao, don't let her age fool you, she's got a top-notch figure and looks. Brother Zai, you know about metaphysical conditioning, she's been saying lately that she's weak and can't sleep well at night, so I'll trouble you to take care of her and help her get some treatment."
"No problem!" Fatty Lin said with a smile.
Seeing that Fatty Lin had agreed, He Guangzu's eyes lit up, and he became even bolder. His smile became even more obsequious. "Brother Zai, you can do whatever you want with treatment or how you want to get close to me. Just do whatever makes you comfortable. I have no objection whatsoever."
Upon hearing this, I was completely impressed by He Guangzu. He had truly taken shamelessness and utter disregard for human dignity to the extreme.
To be honest, while people like him are not uncommon, this is the first time I've seen someone so eager and so blatant in selling his wife.
So I was somewhat taken aback.
Not only me, but Zhou Peiru also didn't expect He Guangzu to say that, and the smile on her face froze.
Needless to say, Long Nier was even more so.
Unlike us, Fatty Lin seemed to have expected He Guangzu to say that. His face showed little shock, but rather a hint of smugness.
His reaction made me grimace; he'd caught me red-handed again.
Compared to the rest of us, I'm more curious about Wen Haichao's reaction as his wife.
To my surprise, upon hearing her husband's shameless words, Wen Haichao not only showed no resistance, but instead seemed to have known all along. With a charming smile on her face, she leaned slightly to the side and slowly rested her head on Fatty Lin's shoulder.
After getting closer, she noticed that Fatty Lin didn't dodge. Her eyes darted around, and she said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Brother Zai, I've been feeling uneasy lately. Could you please help me get better? Don't worry, I'll cooperate fully. I'll do whatever you say."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and gently tugged at Fatty Lin's wrist.
Seeing this, Fatty Lin could no longer hide his smugness. He laughed and put his arm around Wen Haichao, saying, "Since Brother Zu is so straightforward and generous, everything will be easy to handle. I'll introduce you to Fourth Wife another day. You know, Fourth Wife is now managing most of Gambling King Lu's business."
He paused, looked down at Wen Haichao leaning on his shoulder, and said, "Sister Haichao, don't worry. I'm the best at conditioning your body. I guarantee I'll get you into the best condition."
He Guangzu didn't care at all. Seeing that Fatty Lin had agreed, he was overjoyed, his fawning expression becoming even more exaggerated. He raised his glass in a toast, saying, "Thank you so much for your help, Brother Zai! With your words of comfort, I'm relieved! From now on, you're my benefactor, and I will definitely repay you!"
My expression right now is easy to describe: I'm completely impressed.
