Gu Yuwu stretched and replied, “I’m not staying. I’ll go with you.”
The live broadcast had already ended.
Lin Xiaowan had just taken a few steps when she saw the handsome young master standing nearby. When he saw her, he approached her.
He stood at an appropriate distance and said politely, “Mrs. Huo, it seems like you like the bottle of red wine a lot. 1 wonder if you’ll accept it.”
Lin Xiaowan looked horrified when she heard this. She recalled the rumors about him being ambiguous with members of the opposite sex, and she said, “No, I can’t accept it. By the way, my surname is Lin, not Huo.”
Then, Lin Xiaowan grabbed Gu Yuwu’s hand tightly before she asked, “You… Why are you giving it to me?”
She was so nervous that even her long-lost accent from her hometown came out.
Hai Linzhi, the wealthy young master, said with a shrug, “I just want to be friends with Miss Lin. Will you give me a chance, Miss Lin?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaowan looked even more horrified.
‘No way. He can’t really like me, right? After all, he addressed me as Mrs. Huo earlier… He must know about my relationship with Huo Zheng…’
Gu Yuwu looked at Hai Linzhi as though she was looking at a fool. She said bluntly, “Are you sick? Did you not take your medicine today? Should I punch you twice to cure you of your illness?”
Seeing the familiar way Gu Yuwu spoke to Hai Linzhi, Lin Xiaowan asked, “Do you know each other?”
Gu Yuwu replied, “Our social circles overlapped after all. It’s hard not to know each other…”
Seeing how nervous Lin Xiaowan was, Gu Yuwu comforted her as she said, “His name is Hai Linzhi. He’s the vice president of his family’s company. Don’t judge him by his frivolous words and actions. He’s not a bad person.”
Hai Linzhi smiled, looking more sincere. He asked, “Shall we get to know each other?”
Lin Xiaowan hesitated for two seconds.
At this time, Gu Yuwu took the lead and replied, “Get to know each other my as*! Don’t lead her astray. Nothing good will come from being involved with you.”
Hai Linzhi feigned an injured expression on his face as he said with a sigh, “My heart really hurts after being criticized by a beautiful woman.”
The corners of Lin Xiaowan’s lips twitched. In the end, she did not accept the bottle of wine. After completing the payment procedures, she still could not figure out Hai Linzhi’s purpose in approaching her. She did not believe it was just to befriend her.
As though Gu Yuwu could read Lin Xiaowan’s thoughts, she patted the wary Lin Xiaowan’s hand and said, “Hai Linzhi probably wants to build a good relationship with you because of Huo Zheng. He doesn’t have much say in his family. Recently, one of his projects was rejected. With his status, it’s hard for him to build a connection with Huo Corporation. He’s probably trying to go about it in a roundabout way.”
Lin Xiaowan grew even more worried when she heard these words. She said, “Then I have to stay away from him even more. What if he uses me, and it affects Huo Zheng?”
Gu Yuwu said, “Hai Linzhi is a good person. Don’t worry. He’s also very capable. 1 know a little about his project. There are many advantages, but it’s difficult to execute. Moreover, his family is quite conservative…”
Gu Yuwu had known Hai Linzhi for a long time so she was familiar with his character.
Lin Xiaowan nodded thoughtfully. She dispelled some of her concerns after listening to Gu Yuwu’s words. Then, she considered mentioning this matter to Huo Zheng so that he could take note of it.
At this moment, Gu Yuwu thought of something, and she said, “I just realized that he really chose the right time to approach you. I know him well enough.
He took advantage of the fact that I’m with you and approached you. He knew that even if you were wary of him, I’d definitely tell you about him and the purpose he approached you.”
Then, Gu Yuwu asked, “After listening to me, did you consider telling Huo Zheng about this or ask Huo Zheng what he thinks about Hai Linzhi?”
Lin Xiaowan nodded in confusion. “Yes.”
“Look, if you did that, even if Huo Zheng didn’t know Hai Linzhi, he would learn of Hai Linzhi’s name from you. Perhaps he might even ask someone to look up Hai Linzhi’s project. If Huo Zheng thinks the project is not bad, then Hai Linzhi’s chance will come…” Gu Yuwu said, looking slightly impressed, “That kid is not bad…”
Lin Xiaowan still looked a little confused as she asked, “Then should 1 tell Huo Zheng about Hai Linzhi or not? Moreover, will the project you mention negatively affect Huo Zheng?”
Gu Yuwu replied, “I don’t think it’ll affect him. After all, your Huo Zheng is also a cunning old fox. He knows how to judge what’s right or wrong. If you want to speak to him about it, then just do it. Just treat it as giving Hai Linzhi a chance. After all, Hai Linzhi is capable.”
Lin Xiaowan nodded before she said with a sigh, “Hai Linzhi is really different from the rumors…”
Hai Linzhi’s image had always been one of a carefree playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and play.
Gu Yuwu, who knew a little of the inside story, said, “His family situation is a little complicated. He’s probably hiding his edges and biding his time…”
Gu Yuwu smiled as she continued to say, “Don’t listen to the rumors about him being a playboy. 1 know the rumors said that he has a lot of girlfriends and that he’s a playboy. That’s just the surface of things. In private, he’s actually quite traditional…”
After Hai Linzhi, who was in a good mood, left, he handed the bottle of red wine to his subordinate, instructing his subordinate to send it to Huo Zheng along with a handwritten note.
He knew very well everything depended on whether he could seize this opportunity. If he succeeded, he would have the courage to go all out.
When Lin Xiaowan returned, she told Huo Zheng everything and asked for his opinion.
“Will you look into his project?”
“That depends on his character and his project…”
Lin Xiaowan rested her chin on her hands, feeling unhappy that she had been used. She said with a sigh, “It seems like Sister Yuwu was right. It doesn’t matter if you know him or not, at the very least, you know his name now after I told you about everything…”
Huo Zheng pulled her into his arms and said, “It’s not a big deal. If he’s really capable and smart, I might give him a chance…”
“Alright.”
Lin Xiaowan reached out to hold Huo Zheng’s face and kissed him before she said, “In any case, it’s fine as long as 1 don’t cause you any trouble.”
In Lin Xiaowan’s opinion, Hai Linzhi should be a good person, and most importantly, he was smart. He knew when to retreat and when to advance. His jokes were just right, and his words did not hold any hidden meaning. Although he had his own plans, he was rather sincere as well.
The next day, Huo Zheng received a bottle of red wine, which was sent to the company. A hint of approval could be seen in his eyes after he read the accompanying note.
Subsequently, he asked Assistant Song to investigate some matters.
Hai Linzhi’s note read: I’m very sorry for using Miss Lin to introduce myself to you, Second Master Huo. I hope that you’ll convey my apologies to Miss Lin. This gift is just a small token of my apology. If there’s a chance next time, I’ll apologize in person.
Indeed, Hai Linzhi was very smart.
Huo Zheng was not a cold-blooded demon. He was willing to give such a person an opportunity to cooperate..
