Chapter 551: Chapter 580: Dead Liar (Part 1)
Let them gossip behind our backs, whatever!
Lin Xi didn’t feel like wasting energy on this. After all, you can’t control what others say!
After walking out of the hotel, he checked the time. It was just past two in the afternoon, and he had a headache about where to go next.
Go home or head to the dorm?
Now that military training was over, the school had granted the afternoon and the following day off in light of all the days of training, so that everyone could adjust before starting college courses!
"Buzz buzz!" At this moment, he received a message on his phone. Opening it, he saw it was from the bank.
It showed a deduction for the recent meal and displayed a balance of just over twenty thousand!
"Money really just vanishes!" Lin Xi deleted the message and couldn’t help but sigh.
He used to have a net worth close to ten billion, and in less than a week, only a little over twenty thousand was left!
This wasn’t just spending money; it was clearly burning through it!
Honestly, he didn’t spend much on himself; it was all spent on women.
Of course, don’t get the wrong idea; it wasn’t as sleazy as you’d think!
Well, it’s not sleazy; it should be considered a fair transaction!
For a man, spending money he earns to fulfill his physical needs—is that wrong? Don’t you have physical needs too? Unless you turn into Chen Bainan!
This thought made Chen Bainan, who was painfully lying at the Chen family home, involuntarily sneeze, pulling on something below and causing cold sweat to break out on his face.
For a woman, earning money with her labor, not stealing or robbing—is that wrong?
Why is it banned here, when in other countries they even collect taxes on it!
For many people, if it were legalized and regulated, it might even stimulate consumption and increase GDP! So many rape cases out there might decrease considerably!
Alright, I’ve digressed a bit!
Lin Xi’s spending on women was to help them, like helping the Bai family through a crisis or buying a house for Gu Xiaoxian...
In the future, there will be more women, but for now, just these two have already left him with little money!
He used to have no concept of money; now he just wants to earn more!
Being broke!
So he had to find a way to make money!
Last time he went to Antique Street with that idea, but after getting those two trinkets, he didn’t find any other good things!
It’s not that Antique Street doesn’t have good things; he’s just not skilled with antiques!
Solely relying on Spiritual Qi to find them is obviously unreliable, as there are very few items with Spiritual Qi!
So, this path is not feasible!
As Lin Xi walked, he thought of his previous source of money, which was a very convenient and easy method!
But now, the forces in South City were basically subdued by his Dark Night Sect, so how was he going to extort?
Wait, extort isn’t the word—it’s called presenting gifts to apologize!
Should he head to the other three cities, but they haven’t offended him—that’s tricky!
After all, if people don’t provoke me, I don’t provoke them. That’s always been his principle!
Could it be robbery...
At that moment, Lin Xi suddenly stopped. He heard a familiar voice!
To the right, inside a café, three people sat by the window.
"Xi Xiaoyi?" he couldn’t help but murmur.
Isn’t she the single mom from Emmy International who mistook him for a new colleague and took him along for business talks last time?
Afterward, a series of events unfolded, and Lin Xi even got invited to her home for a meal!
Oh right, her adorable daughter Xixi, such a cute and pretty little girl!
Previously, Lin Xi didn’t have a good impression of kids, thinking of them as brats, but after meeting Xixi, his views changed!
This little girl, besides being cute and pretty, gave him a very sensible vibe, very considerate of her mom!
Hmm, probably hoping her mom would find a man, and Lin Xi met her criteria very well!
"What a good kid!" Lin Xi couldn’t help but exclaim.
After all, Xi Xiaoyi had maintained her figure well, was very pretty, one of those who hadn’t experienced much but could still appreciate beauty.
Her aura radiated a kind that stirs up a strong, irresistible impulse from within.
If one had to use an approximate term, it would be young... woman!
While discussing business with two resellers, Xi Xiaoyi noticed their particularly polite manner, and she couldn’t help but think of Lin Xi.
Generally, their relationship with resellers was like that of sellers and buyers; they were at a disadvantage, asking others to resell for them.
After all, the market now was so big, there were so many similar products.
However, ever since she took Lin Xi out for business and got nearly blackmailed, only for that guy to be fiercely taught a lesson by Lin Xi, and even the underground kingpin from North City got involved...
Since then, whenever she discussed business, though the other party might have greedy eyes, they never dared to overstep.
Even when someone crossed the line a bit, they immediately apologized the next day, or even the same day.
In the meantime, her performance skyrocketed, equaling the entire department’s performance by herself.
She knew all of this was because of Lin Xi!
"That bastard dared to fool me!!!" Xi Xiaoyi couldn’t help but curse internally,
"That day, she thought Lin Xi was a new colleague the whole time!"
"But who would’ve thought, that bastard wasn’t!"
Since that day, while gritting her teeth in hatred, she couldn’t help but wonder, "Who exactly is he?"
"And since that day, he’s never reached out to her!"
Though she had his number, she obviously wouldn’t call Lin Xi voluntarily, as he had deceived her so deeply!
Originally she wanted to forget Lin Xi, but every day when picking up her daughter, her daughter would ask why Uncle Lin hasn’t come!
"Manager Xi, there’s no problem with the contract, so shall we sign?" one of the people opposite her, noticing Xi Xiaoyi was deep in thought, reminded her.
Xi Xiaoyi smiled awkwardly, "Then I’ll trouble you guys!"
"No problem, no problem, working with Manager Xi is an honor for us!"
The courtesy from the others was returned by Xi Xiaoyi with a friendly demeanor; she knew these people respected Lin Xi.
Little did she know, these people actually respected Wang Wudao from North City’s underground, as they had no idea who Lin Xi was!
Just as they were about to sign, there were three knocks on the window, and the next moment they saw a young man outside waving at Xi Xiaoyi!
Xi Xiaoyi was stunned; her expression changed from surprise to anger!
The two people opposite noticed Xi Xiaoyi’s anger and instantly assumed the guy outside was hitting on her.
No wonder. Though Xi Xiaoyi was wearing the same little suit and black knee-length skirt as before, she looked stunning.
"Damn!" one of them shouted, "Hey kid, what are you looking at? Want to die or something!"
If it weren’t for Xi Xiaoyi, they wouldn’t care at all!
But now, with a chance to please Xi Xiaoyi, they wouldn’t let it slip, especially since it was rumored she was some big shot’s mistress.
"..." Lin Xi was stunned.
"..." Xi Xiaoyi too was surprised; maybe those two people got it wrong!
