The Divine Doctor Captures a Beauty [Complete] - 32

Chapter 695 A Romantic Rendezvous

"

Hehe, I know. Six o'clock tonight, see you at Dream Point Western Restaurant!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily.

After hanging up Lin Yupeng's call, Cao Naishan took a long time to recover. A blush rose to her pretty face, and she murmured, "What's wrong with me? I can't even muster the slightest resistance to his request..."

Just after five o'clock, Lin Yupeng left Xingguang Group by car and went to Dream Point Western Restaurant. He had been there with Tian Xin a few days ago and was already quite familiar with the place.

Now he was very cautious about his travels, always checking for any "tails" following him to avoid revealing his whereabouts. Fortunately, he didn't spot any following vehicles today.

Lin Yupeng arrived at Dream Point Western Restaurant, ordered a birthday cake and a Russian-French feast, and then waited for Cao Naishan to appear.

At six o'clock sharp, Cao Naishan appeared at the restaurant entrance precisely on time. She was always very punctual, not a minute early or late.

Lin Yupeng was sitting facing the door, so he saw her immediately. She was wearing a royal blue business suit with a beige wool sweater underneath. Flesh-colored velvet stockings encased her long, shapely legs, highlighting their soft and delicate lines. Her small, exquisite features were very pleasing to the eye. Her lips were full and red, and her almond-shaped eyes shone with a shrewd and capable light. Her skin was smooth and delicate, radiating a faint, alluring glow. Her full, rounded breasts rose and fell slightly with her breath, and her arms were as tender and translucent as lotus roots. The well-tailored business suit outlined the beautiful lines of her body, making her appear mature and dignified. However, her expression was solemn and dignified, exuding an aura of sacred inviolability, while also possessing the unique charm of a mature woman.

"This isn't a negotiation, why all the formality?" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, then quickly stood up and waved to Cao Naishan. She had already seen him; she strode over, her face serious, and said, "Yupeng, we can't spend too much. It's not good if outsiders see us!"

Hearing her call him by his name, Lin Yupeng was secretly pleased. It seemed their relationship had indeed grown closer. He chuckled and said, "It's alright. You've worked so hard for the people of our city for over a decade. Who would dare to gossip about your birthday? Sister, if you're worried about outsiders seeing us, how about we change to a private room?"

Cao Naishan leaned down and sat opposite him, shaking her head. "No need, let's just stay outside! Going into a private room incurs an extra service fee!"

"Very well, very well!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, but in his heart he was thinking, "There aren't many cadres as frugal as you in Tianhan City anymore. Who doesn't indulge in extravagance? It's all public funds for eating and drinking anyway! Take birthdays for example, you're so busy you've forgotten about your birthday, while some officials look forward to it every day. They hold birthday banquets, and everyone rushes to give gifts. Some people wish they could have a birthday party every month!"

Lin Yupeng waved to the waiter, indicating that the dishes and cake could be served. Soon, a waiter pushed a cake cart and stopped in front of Cao Naishan, smiling and saying, "Please enjoy your meal!"

Then a table full of sumptuous dishes was served: caviar, foie gras, sardines, steak, salad, prawns, onion rolls, bread, and a bottle of red wine. The restaurant was playing Bandari's light music "Childhood," the gentle and melodious tune floating and drifting, like a clear spring nourishing one's heart.

In this romantic atmosphere, Cao Naishan's cold expression gradually softened. Her beautiful face, illuminated by the soft light, gained a touch of alluring shyness. What woman doesn't love romance? Despite the accolades she carried—"Iron Lady," "Strong Woman," and so on—behind those accolades, she was still a woman.

Lin Yupeng exploited this fact: she was a woman, a woman wounded by love. He struck at her core, addressing her specific needs, aiming to achieve a leap forward in their relationship. This way, after leaving Tianhan City, he would have no worries. The mayor, the police chief, the propaganda minister—all would be under his control. He would have political, police, and propaganda tools at his fingertips, making him virtually invincible.

"Sister, happy birthday!" Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Cao Naishan, his tone sincere and earnest.

"Thank you!" Cao Naishan glanced at him indifferently, a blush like the sunset rising on her pretty face. Her heart fluttered. For nearly ten years, she had never been to such a warm and romantic place with a man, and this man was eight years younger than her.

"Sister, blow out the candles!" Lin Yupeng pointed to the cake and smiled.

"Oh... I'm not good at blowing them!" Cao Naishan said softly, sunlight falling on the thirty-three candles on the cake.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, you can blow a few more!" Lin Yupeng encouraged her with a smile.

Cao Naishan nodded, took a deep breath, and her beautiful breasts trembled slightly. Lin Yupeng saw this and his heart skipped a beat. She blew out the candles three times before finally extinguishing them completely, her breasts heaving, a magnificent sight that stirred the imagination.

"Yu Peng, thank you for celebrating my birthday!" Cao Naishan said politely after blowing out the candles, but her eyes were somewhat unfocused and hesitant, her inner feelings extremely complex.

Lin Yu Peng's face darkened upon hearing this, and he feigned a somber expression, saying, "Sister, you've said 'thank you' twice already, isn't that too formal? Whether we're friends or family, I'm still your brother! Hehe, let's eat!"

With that, he poured himself and Cao Naishan a full glass of red wine, raised it, and said seriously, "Sister, I wish you a happy birthday again, and may you stay young forever! I'd like to toast you!"

"Thank you!" Cao Naishan smiled faintly, raised her glass to clink with his, and slowly drank. She rarely drank, but seeing Lin Yupeng's sincerity in celebrating her birthday, she let loose, and her natural defenses gradually weakened...

Lin Yupeng and Cao Naishan ate and talked, mostly about work, but he used a diversionary tactic, always getting to the point. What point? Of course, it was about Cao Naishan's personal life. Only in this way could he build a closer relationship with her. If they always talked about work, they would only ever be business partners.

Cao Naishan's eyes, however, flickered with confusion. Occasionally, she would glance at Lin Yupeng, then quickly look away, a strange, ambiguous feeling stirring in her heart.

Lin Yupeng seized the opportunity and softly asked, "Sister, I've always wondered why you don't find a boyfriend. You're not getting any younger!" "

Chapter 696 Cutting

to the Heart

" Lin Yupeng's words could be described as penetrating the forbidden zone and hitting the nail on the head, naturally striking at Cao Naishan's sore spot. Her expression immediately darkened, she gently put down her chopsticks, a layer of sorrowful tenderness welling up in her beautiful eyes, her rosy lips trembling, unsure how to respond.

"Sister, let's have another drink!" Lin Yupeng smiled, picked up his glass, and toasted Cao Naishan again, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at her, continuing his mental assault: "Sister, tell me what's on your mind. Keeping it bottled up will definitely make you sick. I'm willing to be your best listener, so don't treat me like an outsider!" After drinking two glasses of wine, Cao

Naishan's pretty face flushed with a captivating blush, and her clear, autumn-water-like eyes became hazy. The sad memories that had been weighing on her heart for many years surged up, and she really needed to confide in someone. Today, Lin Yupeng, the best listener, and the atmosphere he created, made her let go of her grudges and prepare to pour out her heart.

"I used to have a boyfriend, my high school classmate, my first love..." Cao Naishan's pretty face flushed with sadness as she began her story: "We often studied together, and gradually developed feelings for each other. Later, we both got into Tianhan Normal University, and our relationship was always great. But after graduation, he suddenly asked to break up with me. When I asked why, he initially said we weren't compatible, but I knew that was just an excuse. We were together for almost eight years, always treating each other with respect, never arguing once. He was always very good to me. Later, after I pressed him repeatedly, he finally told me that he didn't want to stay in Tianhan City and was going to..." "I told him I could go to Yanjing with him because of its development, but he absolutely refused. He said his family had already arranged a marriage for him with the daughter of a high-ranking government official."

Lin Yupeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he asked with a hint of regret, "I see. What's his family's background?"

Cao Naishan said quietly, "His family owns a large company. Its headquarters used to be in Tianhan City, but after he went to Yanjing, the company moved there too. Now it should be a large conglomerate, just like your Tianqiong Group." However, his family has always wanted him to enter politics, and to ensure a smooth career for him, they arranged that marriage for him.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Just like my godfather's path, combining politics and business, huh? " He then asked with concern, "What kind of group is it?"

Cao Naishan replied softly, "It's called the Lant Group! Because of that political-business marriage, the Lant Group has developed rapidly and is now listed both domestically and internationally, with net assets of over two billion US dollars."

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Lant Group? I think I've heard that name on TV before, a Fortune 500 company! Actually, our Tianqiong Group could also be in the Fortune 500, but we lack government support, our management and other hardware aren't good enough, and most importantly, our foundation wasn't solid, leading to too many problems. We're still under investigation by that secret task force!"

Seeing the sadness in Cao Naishan's eyes, Lin Yupeng quickly comforted her, "Sister, don't be too sad! He gave up his love for his future; that's his choice, and you should respect it!"

Cao Naishan said bitterly, "But..." "Yes... I really love him... We've been together for seven or eight years, and I just can't let go of this feeling. Ever since we broke up, I've been holding onto this feeling, and I'm determined to prove myself! Didn't he abandon me for his career? I'm going to go into politics with him, and I'm going to do even better than him, to show him that you can rise to prominence without connections!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, his voice filled with praise and admiration. "Sister, you're really ambitious! It seems you're doing much better than him now, aren't you?"

Cao Naishan smiled sadly, her tone full of self-deprecation. "Not at all! He's already the Assistant Minister of Education! And I'm just a Deputy Minister of Propaganda in a local city!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he thought to himself, "The Assistant Minister of Education is only half a rank lower than the Deputy Minister, but he's in a national government agency, several ranks higher than Cao Naishan! "

This was his thought, but he encouraged her aloud, "Sister, you've already done very well, don't suppress yourself anymore, okay?" "Life is about living happily, don't you agree?"

Cao Naishan, feeling the effects of the alcohol, looked even more sorrowful. She said in a mournful voice, "I...I'm afraid I'll never accept another man again. I'm afraid of being hurt again. From now on, I'll focus on my work. I must make a name for myself, make him look at me with new eyes, and make him regret his choice!"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, a surge of pride rising within him. He resolutely said, "Yes, sister, I support you! In terms of ability, you're no less than anyone else. You will definitely succeed! Take me for example, just six months ago I was a junior doctor, and now, in just six months, I've already become the vice president of Tianqiong Group. My future goal is to become president and chairman, leading Tianqiong Group to..." "Top 500 in the world, even top 100, that's my goal. I'm confident I can achieve it. Let's work together!" He spoke with great enthusiasm, but inwardly he chuckled to himself, "Actually, I only got here through connections. Without my godfather Jin Tai, I probably wouldn't even be a minor minister. I was just saying those words to comfort this wounded woman!"

Cao Naishan was moved by Lin Yupeng's words. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with clear, melancholic tenderness as she stared at Lin Yupeng, murmuring, "Your tone and expression are very similar to his..." As soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. A bright red blush slowly spread across her beautiful cheeks, like the sunset glow on the horizon.

Words spoken are like water spilled; they can't be taken back. Hearing her almost dreamlike words, Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He carefully considered the meaning behind her words, his eyes gleaming as he stared at her with a smile, "Sister, you just said my manner of speaking and tone resembled your ex-boyfriend, didn't you?"

"This… cough cough…" Cao Naishan's face flushed even more, and she lowered her head softly, unsure how to answer his question, but this was tantamount to admitting it.

Lin Yupeng's heart stirred; he thought to himself, "No wonder she looks at me differently. It turns out I do resemble her ex-boyfriend somewhat!"

"Yupeng, eat some food!" Cao Naishan said, trying to make conversation, while pouring herself a full glass of red wine and downing it in one gulp. Chapter 697: Drunken Indiscretions

Lin Yupeng could tell that Cao Naishan was clearly trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol, but he didn't stop her. Life in Pingkou was too oppressive; she needed a moment of relaxation. He even drank several glasses with her. Later, seeing that her pretty face was flushed and she was already showing signs of intoxication, and that her speech was becoming less logical, he knew she was a little drunk. He quickly took the wine glass from her hand and smiled, "Sister, you're drunk. Let me take you home!" "I'm not drunk. Can you let me have a few more sips? Please! It's been so long since I've had a good drink!" Cao Naishan reached out to take the glass back from Lin Yupeng, her beautiful eyes filled with a hazy, intoxicated tenderness. Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly and poured her another glass of wine, saying seriously, "Sister, this is the last one! I'll take you home after you finish!" Cao Naishan smiled faintly, nodded gently, her starry eyes shimmering with intoxication. She reached for the glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then stood up gracefully, saying softly, "Yupeng, let's go!" Lin Yupeng called the waiter to pay the bill. Seeing that Cao Naishan's body was swaying slightly from the alcohol, he quickly went over to support her arm and said softly, "Sister, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you walk!" "It's okay, I'm not drunk!" Cao Naishan smiled faintly and walked towards the door, but she didn't shake off Lin Yupeng's arm. Even through her clothes, he could feel the soft, tender skin of her arm and her full, firm breasts, which rubbed against his chest as he walked, sending waves of tingling, numbing, and electric-like sensation through him. Lin Yupeng felt the ever-present, overflowing desire within him quietly ignite. He glanced sideways at Cao Naishan beside him and saw that she too was succumbing to that feeling. Her pretty face was flushed with intoxication and shyness, her usual solemn and aloof expression completely gone, replaced by the captivating charm unique to mature women. Cao Naishan had never been so close to a man in all these years. Although she was passively receiving the sensation today, the wonderful feeling still made her heart flutter. Her pretty face turned even redder, and she bit her soft lips, barely resisting the tingling pleasure that made her "uncomfortable." Lin Yupeng, on the surface, appeared very calm, generously helping her out of the Dream Point Western Restaurant. Outside, he saw two cars in the parking lot: his Audi, where Xiang Kui was waiting for him, and Cao Naishan's van. He glanced at Cao Naishan beside him and thought to himself, "She's too drunk to drive, and I can't drive either. For now, I'll just have to park my car here and let Xiang Kui drive her home."

Thinking of this, he walked to his car, called Xiang Kui out, and the three of them got into Cao Naishan's van. They arrived at the entrance of her residential complex. Lin Yupeng told Xiang Kui to go back and bring his car there, ready to respond at any time. Then he helped Cao Naishan into the complex.

Although Cao Naishan was drunk, she was still conscious and could at least find her way home. Lin Yupeng had been to her house before, so he knew the way well.

Lin Yupeng helped Cao Naishan back home and first helped her sit on the sofa in the living room. She exuded a seductive scent of perfume mixed with alcohol.

"Sister, let me get you a glass of water! Sit here for a bit!" Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed. He found a glass on the coffee table in the living room, poured half a glass of cold water, and turned to Cao Naishan. He saw that she was already asleep, her head tilted to one side, the effects of the alcohol making her feel better. Her beautiful breasts swayed up and down with her breathing, tracing alluring curves. Her sexy, rounded legs rubbed together beneath her skirt. Although she was wearing thick winter stockings, the beautiful contours of her legs were still clearly visible.

Lin Yupeng's gaze became burning hot, and he felt a sudden dryness in his mouth. The ambiguous atmosphere in the room suddenly rose. He tried hard to suppress his desire, gently nudged Cao Naishan's arm, and whispered, "Sister, have some water!" With that, he brought the glass to her lips.

Cao Naishan slowly opened her eyes, her starry eyes filled with a dreamy look. She forced a smile, drank half a glass of water, glanced at Lin Yupeng, and said softly, "Yupeng, go home! Don't worry about me, I'm fine! I'm so happy you celebrated my birthday today, thank you!" With that, she slumped back onto the sofa.

If Lin Yupeng just left like that, nothing would happen tonight. Actually, he didn't want anything to happen between them. He turned to leave, but seeing her sleeping on the living room sofa, what could he do? She'd definitely catch a cold in the middle of the night.

"Sister, let me help you back to your room to rest!" Lin Yupeng turned around, gently took Cao Naishan's lotus-root-like arm and placed it on his shoulder, helping her towards the bedroom.

Lin Yupeng felt the scent of wine emanating from her soft body, and the warmth emanating from it stirred his heart. The suppressed desire within him surged again, forcing him to suppress it once more, relying only on the last vestiges of clarity in his mind.

The two entered the bedroom, turned on the wall lamp, and the soft beige light intensified the already ambiguous atmosphere. Cao Naishan, feeling the effects of the alcohol, was weak in the legs and had difficulty walking. Lin Yupeng had no choice but to lift her up and carry her to the bed. However, just as they were about to reach the bed, his foot suddenly tripped over something hard with a "thud," and he lost his balance and lurched forward.

Because the room was dimly lit, and he was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he hadn't noticed what was below, the culprit was a vacuum cleaner on the floor.

Lin Yupeng and Cao Naishan leaned forward simultaneously, landing on the bed in front of them. Due to inertia, Lin Yupeng's entire body pressed against Cao Naishan's soft, fragrant body. His lips met her warm, cherry-like lips, their soft lips meeting in a slippery, moist sensation that quickly washed over him. Cao Naishan's mature, sexy breasts pressed against Lin Yupeng's chest, creating a fatal friction as her body writhed.

Lin Yupeng felt a buzzing in his head—the sound of desire breaking through his rational defenses. This had happened several times before; since his body was enhanced, this had become a frequent occurrence—let's call it a "desire outburst"! This outburst was irresistible, and only a woman's body could alleviate it!

His eyes instantly blazed with intense desire as he began kissing Cao Naishan's rosy, tender lips. A sweet aroma mixed with the scent of alcohol filled his mouth, further stimulating his lust. No wonder people say "drunkenness leads to promiscuity!"

"Ah...no...don't do this..." Cao Naishan suddenly opened her hazy, drunken eyes, instinctively resisting.

Chapter 698: Conquest

of Desire.

Cao Naishan began to struggle to break free from Lin Yupeng's kisses and caresses, but she was still a virgin, having not been with a man for seven or eight years. Yet, her body betrayed her heart. The pleasure from her lips surged through her body like an electric shock, instantly stirring up a wave of desire within her. It propelled her to actively extend her delicate tongue and entwine it with Lin Yupeng's, seeking even greater pleasure.

Lin Yupeng's hands began to caress her hot body, kneading her beautiful breasts, squeezing her flat stomach, and then slowly moving downwards, stroking her long, slender legs through her thick stockings.

Cao Naishan gradually regained some consciousness, feeling as if she was being "raped," and began to struggle violently, trying to break free from Lin Yupeng's passionate kiss, trembling as she said, "What are you doing? Don't do this... please!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes burned with intense lust, and he panted, "Sister, I want you to be happy, please don't shut yourself off like this anymore, okay? Tonight I'm going to make you a real woman!"

With that, his actions became frantic, and he began to tear off Cao Naishan's clothes. In an instant, her coat and skirt were ripped off and thrown onto the sofa.

Lin Yupeng didn't simply undress her; instead, he caressed and teased her body, gradually removing her restraints as she moved. At first, Cao Naishan resisted fiercely, but as the alcohol surged again and the wonderful sensations erupting from her body subsided, her movements slowed. Later, it was hard to say whether she resisted or submitted; in any case, he stripped

her completely naked, revealing her beautiful body to him. Her mature body exuded a captivating youthful energy, her graceful curves so alluring and arousing, a unique quality of a woman between maturity and youth.

This pure, noble, and vibrant body lay before Lin Yupeng, seemingly at his mercy, causing his desire to surge. He involuntarily began kissing and caressing her body, using both hands and mouth in harmonious unity, his aim being to ignite Cao Naishan's passion and lead her to the pinnacle of pleasure.

Cao Naishan's hot, delicate body writhed and moaned, occasionally begging for mercy, but all to no avail, only further stimulating Lin Yupeng's desire to attack!

Finally, when his mouth and hands reached the woman's most sensitive area, Cao Naishan felt her mind go blank, her whole body numb and uncomfortable. The passion within her was completely aroused by Lin Yupeng; desire overcame reason and completely devoured her heart. In that instant, she realized that her virginity, which she had guarded for over thirty years, was about to be lost, lost in the hands of a man eight years younger than her. But she really couldn't hold on any longer, she couldn't resist!

"Ah... good brother, come in! I'm so uncomfortable!" Cao Naishan's jade cheeks were flushed red, and driven by desire, she couldn't help but utter such lewd words.

"Hehe, sister, I'm here! You'll be so happy you'll fly to the sky!" Lin Yupeng was eager to get to the point. The kisses and caresses earlier were only because Cao Naishan was still a virgin; without proper foreplay, it might cause pain. But now that he saw she was ready and had even taken the initiative, how could he be negligent?

He immediately accepted the beauty's invitation and entered her mature and sexy body, moving gradually. The sheets were dotted with blood, like blooming plum blossoms.

Tears welled in Cao Naishan's eyes, her fair body swaying violently with Lin Yupeng's movements, panting heavily, unable to help but let out waves of enchanting moans.

Lin Yupeng thus transformed a dignified and noble iron lady into a wanton woman in bed, yielding and displaying utmost seductive charm… The two continued until midnight, when Cao Naishan had reached the ecstasy of pleasure five or six times in a row, her body utterly exhausted and unable to continue. Only then did Lin Yupeng cease his advances, his desires satisfied and his mind clearing somewhat.

After the passion subsided, Cao Naishan wept. Large tears streamed down her face, tracing poignant lines on her beautiful features.

"Sister, I'm sorry... I drank too much and couldn't control myself. Please forgive me, okay?" Lin Yupeng's body was still pressed tightly against hers as he gently wiped away her tears.

"How... how could you do this to me?" Cao Naishan said resentfully, her eyes blurry with tears.

Lin Yupeng held her delicate body, glistening with sweat, tightly in his arms, and softly comforted her, "Sister, I'm so impulsive. I drank so much tonight. I didn't mean for this to happen, but don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for you. I'll never forget you!"

Cao Naishan smiled sadly, sighed softly, and said, "Oh well! It's already happened, there's no going back. This is my fate!" She began to wallow in self-pity.

Lin Yupeng said gently, "Sister, please don't be like this. I'll make it up to you with my actions. I'll give you anything you want!"

Cao Naishan sighed and said softly, "I don't want anything, just don't tell anyone about tonight!"

Lin Yupeng said firmly, "Sister, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. We'll still be good siblings..." He said a lot of sweet words, and finally managed to coax Cao Naishan to sleep, because she was indeed too tired.

The next morning, Lin Yupeng got up first, dressed, and seeing Cao Naishan still fast asleep, he glanced at his watch. There was still time, so he decided to let her sleep a little longer.

He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out bread, milk, eggs, and vegetables to make a delicious breakfast. A short while later, Cao Naishan woke up and came out of her room. Seeing the breakfast in the kitchen, her pretty face flushed, and her cherry lips trembled, unsure what to say.

"Sister, have some breakfast!" Lin Yupeng smiled. "Yes, thank you!" Cao Naishan said shyly, her face still red. After they ate breakfast, she glanced at her watch and said to Lin Yupeng, "Little brother, you go first! Be careful, don't let anyone see you came from my house!" She had already started calling Lin Yupeng "little brother," and their relationship had taken a leap forward after the passionate night.

Lin Yupeng stared at her, chuckled, and said, "Sister, what's there to be afraid of! We're siblings, it's normal to live together!"

Cao Naishan shook her head, saying, "Brother, no way! Our relationship isn't public yet! It wouldn't be good for either of us if word got out!" Lin Yupeng's eyes

darted around, and he chuckled

dryly

, "Alright then, sister, I'll be going now, goodbye!"

With that, he turned and left the Cao family home. Watching Lin Yupeng's retreating figure, Cao Naishan couldn't help but recall the passionate lovemaking of the previous night, that wonderful feeling, and her pretty face immediately flushed crimson.

Lin Yupeng walked out of the residential area, got into his car, and headed straight for Tianqiong Group. In the car, his phone suddenly received a text message. The content was simple, only five words: "Done for you."

Lin Yupeng's eyes lit up immediately. He knew what those five words meant: a listening chip had been installed on Cui Junming's phone, and from today onwards, he could track and monitor Cui Junming.

He arrived at Tianqiong Group to continue his work. Preparations for the relocation were basically complete. Tomorrow and the day after were the weekend, a two-day holiday, and the official relocation would begin next Monday.

After work that evening, Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui had dinner at the group's restaurant before returning home. He couldn't wait to rush into the lab and activate the eavesdropping chip's monitoring system.

Ruan Yihong had inserted the chip into Cui Junming's phone that morning, so the monitoring system only contained recordings from the daytime. Lin Yupeng listened carefully, his heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately darkened. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he had been more skilled and had inserted the chip into Cui Junming's phone beforehand, otherwise Tianqiong Group would have been in serious trouble. But even so, resolving this matter wouldn't be easy!

What had Lin Yupeng overheard that shocked him so much? Of course, it was something very unfavorable to him—Wei Tie had been arrested! Just this afternoon, an hour ago, Cui Junming received a phone call and was overjoyed: "What did you say? Wei Tie has been arrested? Where was he arrested?"

"Oh, Nanhua City! That's great! When can he be transferred to Tianhan City?

" "Tomorrow won't work. I'm afraid things might go wrong if we delay. Let's transfer him tonight! I need to interrogate Wei Tie tonight!" "

Captain Yu, it's not that I don't trust you, but the case is indeed very important, and we can't afford to delay for even a moment!"

"Thank you. Approximately what time will he arrive in Tianhan City?"

"12 o'clock? Okay, I'll get ready. Take the man to the Dongshan Detention Center first. Keep it a secret!"

After saying this, Cui Junming hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number, saying with delight, "Uncle Wu, I have good news to report to you. Wei Tie, a key fugitive of the Tianqiong Group, has been captured. He is a crucial figure in opening a breach in the Tianqiong Group. Through him, we can obtain specific evidence of the series of drug trafficking activities that the Tianqiong Group has been engaged in. As long as we take him down, the Tianqiong Group will have no chance to renege on its debts!"

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Uncle Wu? It must be Wu Ende, the leader of the special task force! This guy has always been against our Tianqiong Group, and Cui Junming actually calls him uncle. Their relationship is not ordinary!"

Then he heard Cui Junming say seriously, "Yes, don't worry! I will definitely protect the safety of the suspect. We will conduct a surprise interrogation tonight!"

After saying this, Cui Junming hung up the phone again. Hearing this, Lin Yupeng realized the seriousness and complexity of the situation. He knew that Wei Tie was one of the main people in charge of the Tianqiong Group's secret drug trafficking activities. A few months ago, Wei Tie led a group to Hong Kong to trade drugs, but the deal failed. They were caught by the police, and Wei Tie was the only one who managed to escape. Everyone else was dead. He thought that

Wei Tie would go far away, but unexpectedly, he returned to Donghai Province and hid in Nanhua City, which is close to Tianhan City. Wasn't this walking into a trap? Then he thought that Wei Tie was Zhang Yueran's man. Before Zhang Yueran fell from power, Wei Tie might have kept his mouth shut and denied everything after being caught. But now that Zhang Yueran had fallen,

Wei Tie would definitely confess everything in the hands of the police, which would be a fatal blow to the Tianqiong Group! How to avoid this fatal blow? There was only one way—to kidnap and kill Wei Tie! Although it was risky, Lin Yupeng had no other choice. Moreover, he was not sure how successful such a kidnapping and killing would be, but he felt that it should be at least 50%. If the probability was that high, it was worth it.

It was 7 PM. According to the overheard intelligence, Wei Tie would be escorted to Tianhan City at midnight. The journey from Nanhua City to Tianhan City took about two hours, meaning they should depart between 9 and 10 PM. Time was of the essence. Lin Yupeng immediately contacted Duan Wei via walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice, "Brother Duan, gather your men immediately and wait at the group headquarters!"

Then Lin Yupeng immediately left home and arrived at Xingguang Group. Seeing more than thirty security guards gathered on the playground, he took Duan Wei to the office, explained the situation, and discussed the plan to intercept and kill Wei Tie. Now it was a race against time.

After listening, Duan Wei's face became solemn and gloomy. He felt it was far too risky. Even though it was at night, intercepting a prison van was a huge undertaking, exceeding any previous attempt. It could potentially cause a national sensation. But since Lin Yupeng had decided to do it, they had no choice but to go all the way.

After pondering for a while, Duan Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a low voice, "President Lin, I have come up with a plan, but it's not quite ready yet."

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he said coldly, "Even if it's not ready, we have to do it. Tell me about it!"

Duan Wei's face was serious as he said solemnly, "There's only one expressway connecting Nanhua City and Tianhan City, the Tiannan Expressway which passes through Songyang County. As long as we set up an ambush on the expressway, we can definitely intercept Wei Tie by surprise. I believe that although your police have taken precautions, it's just a formality. They don't know that someone will try to intercept the prison van. After all, the probability of such a thing happening is extremely low, and they are bound to become complacent."

Lin Yupeng's eyes were fixed on the line, his mind racing as he listened carefully to Duan Wei's plan. He couldn't help but sneer, "That's right! They would never dream that I would dare to intercept a prison van! It's settled then. You get ready immediately, select ten men, equip them with all kinds of weapons, the faster the better. We must intercept the prison van before it passes the Tiannan Expressway!"

Duan Wei nodded immediately and turned to prepare. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Lin Yupeng's mind, and he secretly rejoiced, "Isn't the underground passage under my villa connected to the Tiannan Expressway?" It's perfect that our people can quickly reach the entrance from there, and it'll be easy for them to leave after they've finished their work, without anyone noticing! Half an hour later ,

the ten men Duan Wei had selected were ready and asked Lin Yupeng for instructions on the next step of the operation via walkie-talkie.

Lin Yupeng glanced at his watch; it was almost 8

PM

. Time was of the essence, so he immediately went downstairs to meet up with Duan Wei's men. They split into two groups and sped off in two SUVs towards the villa in the northern suburbs.

Arriving at the villa, Lin Yupeng took out his key, opened the gate, and led his men inside.

Duan Wei looked puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, has tonight's operation been canceled?"

Lin Yupeng knew he was confused about bringing his men to his villa, so he explained, "Brother Duan, there's a secret passage under my villa that connects to the Tiannan Expressway. Let's change our clothes first!"

Duan Wei nodded knowingly. He had been to the secret passage under Tan Shiquan's villa many times, so he wasn't surprised that Lin Yupeng's villa had a similar one. These days, wealthy people always liked to have backup plans.

Inside the villa, Lin Yupeng and Duan Wei donned their camouflage uniforms, then led the group into the underground passage, running at full speed.

Twenty minutes later, they emerged from an air-raid shelter connected at the end of the passage. It was already 8:50 PM. According to their prediction, the prison van transporting Wei Tie would depart from Nanhua City sometime between 9 and 10 PM, arriving between 10 and 11 PM. They had arrived just in time.

Lin Yupeng and Duan Wei's eyes gleamed as they circled the roadside, searching for advantageous terrain. They found several small mounds by the roadside, providing natural cover, surrounded by a wheat field, making advance and retreat easy.

Lin Yupeng led his men to destroy the streetlights along the road, then they ambushed behind the mounds, waiting for their prey.

This road was already quite remote, with little traffic, and now that the streetlights were out, it became even darker. The occasional car that passed by noticeably slowed down, its headlights flashing incessantly.

Time ticked by, and Lin Yupeng, crouching behind the mound, kept glancing at his watch. Nine o'clock—9:15—9:30. Only taxis and private cars passed by; the police vans used to transport criminal suspects were nowhere to be seen.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon hid behind the clouds, and the starlight grew weaker and weaker. Suddenly, Lin Yupeng felt a chill on his head, followed by a rushing sound.

It was raining, and the rain was heavy. Winters in maritime climates are often cool and rainy, and the rain comes and goes quickly.

The raindrops grew larger, pounding incessantly on the ground and the men hiding behind the mounds. Lin Yupeng and his men were quickly soaked to the bone, but none of them moved. They were prepared to endure the rain, even if it were a downpour of knives; the prison cart was approaching soon.

Lin Yupeng gave the order ... His men were mainly responsible for protecting the guns to prevent them from getting damaged by the rain and jamming at crucial moments. Actually, operating in the rain had an advantage: leaving no trace, as evidence would quickly be washed away by the rain. Although he suffered from the rain, Lin Yupeng felt it was worthwhile; the heavier the rain, the better for him.

When the hour and minute hands of his watch pointed to 11:25 PM, the marker appeared! A police prison van steadily drove up. Because of the rain and flooded roads, the van was moving slowly and would arrive in Tianhan City later than scheduled. This time, the escort of the serious criminal Wei Tie was being handled by Yu Tiecheng, who had been promoted to deputy captain of the Nanhua City Criminal Police Team, along with ten armed police officers.

"Everyone, get ready! Put on your masks!" Duan Wei gave the order as soon as the two prison vans came into view. All twelve men, including Lin Yupeng, put on the masks they had prepared beforehand.

"Our objective is to abduct and kill Wei Tie. Just take down those policemen! Try not to kill them!" Lin Yupeng gave his final instructions.

When the police prison van arrived at the mound where Lin Yupeng and his men were lying in ambush, Duan Wei gave the order, and everyone opened fire. First, they blew out the van's tires, rendering it immobile, and then they opened fire on the van. This time, they brought both long and short weapons; those at a distance used submachine guns, and those at close range used pistols. In an instant, a flurry of fire swept through the air, suppressing the police's firepower.

Ten minutes later, the battle was over. The ten armed policemen pouring out of the van were all hit, mostly below the waist, primarily near the thighs. Although they were still breathing, they were incapacitated.

The leader... Yu Tiecheng's injuries were severe. Although Lin Yupeng had strictly ordered them to show mercy, Yu was the ringleader, and as the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," making him the target of everyone's anger.

Lin Yupeng had previously dealt with Yu Tiecheng, who had played a crucial role in the rescue of Qin Xue. Looking at Yu Tiecheng lying unconscious on the ground from excessive blood loss, Lin Yupeng sighed, thinking to himself, "In the world of martial arts, one is often powerless. Captain Yu! I'm sorry, I hope you're alright!"

At the same time, a sentence spoken by the mysterious Teacher Du he had met on Golden Shark Island echoed in his mind: "Those who don't understand politics are constantly in danger; those who understand politics can always turn danger into safety."

Now, Lin Yupeng deeply appreciated the brilliance of this statement. Every time... Faced with danger, extreme measures are often taken, but after each successful operation, the severity of the consequences is deeply felt. As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet."

At this moment, Duan Wei had already pulled Wei Tie out of the prison van. Lin Yupeng turned around and gave him a cold glance. Wei Tie had a long, thin face, like a crab shell, with sharp eyebrows. His black and white eyes gleamed with surprise; he thought Lin Yupeng and his group had come to rescue him.

Since his capture this afternoon, Wei Tie had been in despair. Any one of his crimes was enough to warrant execution. He knew his sins were grave and he was doomed. But he never expected that on his way back to Tianhan City that night, he would encounter a group of masked men who hijacked the prison van and wiped out all the police officers. Of course, he never expected that this group of people would be his mortal enemies!

Duan Wei strode over and asked Lin Yupeng in a deep voice, "President Lin, is this Wei Tie?" Because Lin Yupeng was the only one among these people who had seen Wei Tie, he needed to confirm this to avoid killing the wrong person and ruining everything.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, he nodded slightly, and then made a "kill" gesture. Duan Wei didn't hesitate, and with a "bang," fired a shot. The bullet pierced Wei Tie's chest, and he screamed, falling into a pool of blood. After a few thrashings, his sinful life ended.

He immediately led his men away from the scene. The rain continued to fall, and the bloodstains on the ground were gradually washed away by the rain…

Chapter 701 Pure Jade Photo

After Lin Yupeng and his men returned to the North Point Villa via the secret passage, they immediately took off their soaked outer garments and burned them all. Then, Duan Wei led his men to evacuate the villa, and the mission for the night was successfully completed.

The next morning, Lin Yupeng turned on the TV to watch the morning news. Logically, after committing such a major case, the provincial and municipal radio stations should have broadcast it in their morning news, but he didn't see any related reports. Since it was his day off, he spent the day watching TV, and even the provincial and municipal news broadcasts that evening made no mention of the prison van hijacking incident from the previous night.

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, a question lingering in his mind: "Why aren't the provincial and municipal TV stations reporting this? Has it been suppressed?" Then he thought, "A prison van hijacked, and all the police officers escorting the prisoners injured—this isn't exactly something to be proud of. They're probably keeping it a secret and investigating covertly! Heh heh, you guys investigate all you want, I'm leaving soon!"

Thinking of his car, he drove away from the northern suburbs villa and back to his old house in the East Bay District. He went into his lab, activated the listening system on the eavesdropping chip, and found the recording. Immediately, he heard Cui Junming's almost furious voice: "What? A prison van hijacked, Wei Tie killed? Captain Yu, what are you doing?!"

"Sigh, never mind, all this is nonsense. You should recover! I also bear some responsibility for this; I underestimated the strength of the Sky Dome Group!"

"I'm sure it was Lin Yupeng who did it! I'm off to the scene now, goodbye!"

Lin Yupeng sneered inwardly: "Cui Junming, you're still too green to mess with me! But I heard he spoke with Yu Tiecheng, so it seems Yu Tiecheng isn't dead yet!" "Thank goodness!"

Immediately after, Cui Junming called Wu Ende: "Uncle Wu, Wei Tie has been killed..."

"Ah? You know? Sigh, I didn't expect the Sky Dome Group to be so ruthless.

" "Yes, I bear responsibility for this. What should we do next?"

Lin Yupeng was anxious because the voice on the other end of the phone was very weak; he couldn't hear what Wu Ende was saying at all, only Cui Junming repeatedly saying "uh-huh," before finally hanging up.

The rest of the conversation was unremarkable. After listening, Lin Yupeng turned off the eavesdropping system and stayed there that night.

The next morning, it was Sunday, his last day before leaving Tianhan City. Lin Yupeng planned to visit Chen Lihan that day, spend the day with her, and say goodbye.

Thinking of Chen Lihan filled him with warmth. This beautiful, gentle, and charming girl had always embodied his longing for a beautiful love. They had already agreed to get married next spring when the flowers bloomed. No matter how many women Lin Yupeng married in the future, Chen Lihan would always be his first choice, because she was his first love. This reason needed no further explanation; it was enough to overcome everything.

Lin Yupeng left home and took a car to the Weili Hotel. Although it was Sunday, the hotel didn't close, and it was always busy with guests on weekends. He went straight into Chen Lihan's general manager's office and saw her working with her head down. Her beautiful bodyguard, Xu Yajing, was in the secretary's seat next to her, her hand supporting her chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Lin Yupeng smiled and walked up to Chen Lihan, saying softly, "Lihan, still busy?"

Chen Lihan looked up, her clear, deep eyes filled with joy, and said sweetly, "Brother Lin, you're here! Please sit down!"

Lin Yupeng laughed, "I'm off today, so I came to keep you company. I'll sit next to you and watch you work. Will that bother you?"
A blush rose on Chen Lihan's pretty face, and a faint smile slowly spread across her delicate lips, as subtle as a rare orchid in a secluded valley. She nodded gently and said softly, "It won't bother you. Please sit down, Brother Lin!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Chen Lihan, silently watching her. The soft sunlight from the window shone through the pale blue curtains, illuminating her exquisite face and adding a breathtaking beauty that captivated the heart.

The entire morning passed in this ambiguous atmosphere. After lunch, Lin Yupeng and Chen Lihan returned to the office. The hotel business was booming lately, and with nothing to worry about, Chen Lihan was in a good mood.

The two sat on the sofa and chatted during their lunch break. Taking advantage of Chen Lihan's good mood, Lin Yupeng told her about the Tianqiong Group's relocation to Yanjing City.

Chen Lihan smiled faintly and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry about me. Focus on your work over there. I only ask that you come back to visit me when you have time. Don't forget our promise!"

Lin Yupeng knew she was referring to the wedding date. His heart warmed, and he reached out to embrace her soft, fragrant shoulder, his other hand holding her warm, smooth, slender hand. He said softly, "Wife, I won't forget. After things are settled over there, I'll come back and marry you, hehe!" With that, he gently kissed Chen Lihan's delicate, flawless face.

Two rosy clouds quickly rose to Chen Lihan's cheeks, as beautiful as the glow of the setting sun. A shy, gentle smile rippled across her clear, autumn-water-like lips as she nestled her head on his shoulder.

After a moment of tenderness, Chen Lihan returned to work. Lin Yupeng remained by her side, silently watching her, his eyes filled with tender affection.

Suddenly, he noticed a crystal photo frame on Chen Lihan's desk, displaying a pure and beautiful photograph of her. Lin Yupeng couldn't help but reach for the frame and examine the photo closely.

It was a photo of Chen Lihan taken at the beach, wearing her favorite white dress. A thin mist shrouded the azure sea, the water and sky merging into one, creating a hazy, dreamlike scene that accentuated Chen Lihan's ethereal beauty, gentle charm, and delicate grace. A sweet smile graced her beautiful lips, like a lily blooming quietly, and her clear, bright eyes shimmered with a captivating allure. She possessed a natural, mesmerizing charm, like a celestial being descended to earth, mesmerizing all who beheld her.

Chen Lihan noticed Lin Yupeng staring intently at her photo, and two blushes immediately rose to her delicate cheeks, making her infinitely shy and charming.

"Hehe, you're looking at a photo instead of the real person? Brother Lin, you're so funny!" Xu Yajing, who had been holding back all morning, finally found an opportunity and teased Lin Yupeng with a mischievous grin.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, gazing at Chen Lihan, and said softly, "Wife, when was this photo taken? It's beautiful! Of course, the photo is still far inferior to you in person, hehe!" Hearing

his praise, Chen Lihan felt a sweet warmth in her heart, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "It was taken when I returned to Tianhan City earlier this year."

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Give me this photo, along with the crystal frame, okay?" Chen Lihan blushed and nodded gently. Lin Yupeng carefully placed the photo into his briefcase, knowing that moving to Yanjing City tomorrow would bring him an even more dangerous and complex chaotic situation. When he encounters difficulties, when he is troubled, having a picture of his beloved by his side, and thinking that a beautiful, gentle, and virtuous girl is waiting for his victorious return to marry her, gives him the motivation to overcome difficulties and forge ahead. Lin Yupeng spent the whole day with Chen Lihan at the hotel, showering her with sweet words and gentle reminders before parting. He promised Chen Lihan that he would definitely return to Tianhan City for the Spring Festival, at which time Chen Lihan's parents would also return from overseas to meet Lin Yupeng, as their daughter's marriage was a major event. Lin Yupeng had met Chen Lihan's parents when he was young and had left a good impression on them. He was confident that his parents would support his marriage to Chen Lihan.

He returned home that night and slept soundly. The next morning, he arrived at the Tianqiong Group to officially begin the relocation to Yanjing City. All the group's employees were busy. Although office supplies didn't need to be moved, the equipment for producing medical devices and pharmaceuticals, as well as laboratory equipment, filled ten large trucks.

In addition, after streamlining, over five hundred employees relocated to Yanjing City, their luggage filling ten large luxury buses. There were also cars belonging to some of the group's senior leaders. The entire Tianqiong Group convoy consisted of no fewer than fifty vehicles of various sizes—a spectacular relocation scene unprecedented in Tianhan City.

Once everything was ready, Lin Yupeng got into his Audi, picked up his walkie-talkie, and issued an order to Deng Yuhu, the head of the security department. The convoy immediately set off for the capital, Yanjing City.

This time, Duan Wei stayed at Xingguang Group to oversee things, while Leng Rui, who had been promoted to deputy director of the security department, accompanied Lin Yupeng to Yanjing City. Leng Rui possessed exceptional skills, and his "flower-slapping technique" was unmatched; his abilities were no less than Duan Wei's.

The journey from Tianhan City to Yanjing City took ten hours. Tianqiong Group's convoy departed at 10:00 AM and didn't enter Yanjing City until 8:00 PM.

Yanjing City is a modern international metropolis, the economic, political, and cultural center of the country, the location of the national government, and a renowned oriental capital with a long history and splendid culture.

This was Lin Yupeng's first time in Yanjing City. After entering the city, his eyes constantly scanned the scenery outside the car window. He saw towering buildings and well-arranged green belts; the urban environment was a level above Tianhan City, and the numerous skyscrapers over thirty stories high were truly breathtaking.

Even at night, the city's neon lights shone brightly, creating a vibrant and colorful spectacle—a city that never sleeps.

The new headquarters of the Sky Dome Group is located on Zhongyuan Road in the East District of Yanjing City. It is a fifty-story skyscraper, named Sky Dome Building. In terms of luxury and grandeur, it surpasses the original headquarters in Tianhan City. However, it is not the tallest in Yanjing City. There are more than a dozen skyscrapers with more than fifty stories, the tallest reaching one hundred stories, which complement the city's backbone.

This Sky Dome Building was originally a large high-rise building integrating commerce, offices, hotels, and entertainment, belonging to the Xinfeng Group of Yanjing City. Due to poor management and insolvency, the group decided to sell the building. However, because the price was too high, there were no takers. A few days ago, Jin Tai brought a group to Yanjing City. Through an introduction, they took a liking to the building. After several rounds of negotiations, an agreement was reached that the Sky Dome Group would purchase the entire fifty-story building as the group's new office location.

The office facilities in the building were all existing. Floors one through twenty were office areas, floors twenty through forty were commercial areas, which were now mostly vacant and had been simply converted into employee canteens and dormitories. Floors forty through fifty were a leisure and entertainment center, with cafes, bars, dance halls, and all sorts of entertainment venues. Of course, there were three floors dedicated entirely to luxury guest rooms and presidential suites, which were previously used for the rest and accommodation of high-society guests, but now that the Sky Dome Group had moved in, they had simply been converted into apartments for the group's senior leaders.

Lin Yupeng's convoy drove into the group's gate. Since it was already evening, the employees were all tired from traveling all day, so the equipment on the trucks was temporarily left there and guarded by someone, to be put into their respective departments the next morning.

Li Zhanbo and his ten guards joined Deng Yuhu's more than forty security guards to take charge of the group's security.

Lin Yupeng stepped into the building. The grandeur and luxury inside were undeniable. A golden plaque hung high in the center of the lobby, bearing eight large, flowing characters: "The sky is like a dome, its light covering a thousand autumns!" This was the corporate slogan of the Tianqiong Group. These characters were written by Chairman Jin Tai, his calligraphy powerful and vigorous, demonstrating exceptional literary skill.

Below the gold plaque was the Tianqiong Group's logo: a soaring roc. Lin Yupeng's heart stirred; he thought to himself, "My name contains the character 'Peng' (鹏). This can't be a coincidence, can it? It seems my godfather intended to make me his successor when he established the group, but the timing wasn't right."

At this moment, Li Zhanbo strode over and said in a deep voice, "President Lin, Chairman Jin requests your presence! He's in the presidential suite on the top floor. Please follow me!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded, following Li Zhanbo into the elevator. They arrived at the fiftieth floor, the building's top floor, which was entirely comprised of presidential suites.

Li Zhanbo led Lin Yupeng to a suite in the center of the room. Jin Tai was sitting on a leather sofa in the living room. Besides him, there were five middle-aged men between forty and fifty years old, all with ruddy complexions and excellent health, clearly pampered bosses. Upon

seeing Lin Yupeng enter, Jin Tai quickly stood up to introduce him—the five important figures beside him were the five major shareholders of the Tianqiong Group. These five individuals collectively held 40% of the company's shares, Jin Tai controlled 55%, and the remaining 5% belonged to several smaller shareholders.

These five major shareholders were very polite to Lin Yupeng, after all, he was the future "head" of the group, and future profits would depend on him.

(Chapter 703

: Life is Like a Game of Chess)

Lin Yupeng chatted with these major shareholders for a while, mostly about personal matters, nothing related to the group.

About half an hour later, Jin Tai glanced at his watch; it was already past nine o'clock. He turned to Li Zhanbo beside him and said, "Old Li, it's getting late. Take my old friends to rest!"

Li Zhanbo nodded, then turned to the five major shareholders and laughed heartily, "Gentlemen, please follow me!"

The five major shareholders realized that Jin Tai wanted to speak with Lin Yupeng alone, so they tactfully said goodbye and left the presidential suite under Li Zhanbo's guidance.

Lin Yupeng also sensed that Jin Tai was about to say something to him, so he stared intently at him, listening attentively.

Jin Tai glanced at Lin Yupeng indifferently, smiled slightly, and said seriously, "Yupeng, the five major shareholders you are meeting today hold 40% of the group's shares. They are very important, so you must protect their interests."

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Godfather, I understand! "

Jin Tai's eyes flashed, and he continued, "Yupeng, I plan to pass the chairmanship of the group to you before the Spring Festival. There are still more than 40 days until the Spring Festival. Your tasks during this period will not be easy. First of all, the group has just moved here, so we need to stabilize the overall situation, get back on track as soon as possible, develop the existing business, and earn greater profits. Only in this way can we reassure the shareholders. In addition, your most important task is to use this time to make connections with the upper class in Yanjing City, including government officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen and their families, and quickly build your own network of contacts. I can guide you in this regard. My friends in Yanjing City will introduce you. Tomorrow, I will be holding a celebration banquet for the group's successful relocation to Yanjing City at the revolving restaurant in the Sky Dome Building. They will all be attending. This is a good opportunity, so you must seize it!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he nodded solemnly, saying firmly, "Okay, I won't let you down." The

confidence in his words pleased Jin Tai, who saw a reflection of his younger self in him. Jin Tai smiled approvingly and said, "Alright, Yupeng, it's getting late, go back and rest! Your room is right across the hall!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and stood up, saying respectfully, "Godfather, I'll go rest now,

goodnight !"

With that, he turned and left the living room, returning to the presidential suite assigned to him. The suite was five-star, one or two levels higher than any presidential suite Lin Yupeng had stayed in before.

The suite includes two bedrooms, a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom, each with its own bathroom and shower, a recreation room, a living room, and a dining room. It also features a private indoor swimming pool, steam room, and massage room. The suite is safe, comfortable, and fully equipped with central air conditioning, cable TV and satellite television, domestic/international direct-dial telephones, and broadband internet access—virtually any service one could imagine.

Lying on the large bed in the master bedroom, Lin Yupeng began to plan his grand scheme for success in Yanjing City. Jin Tai had made it clear that the first step was to cultivate relationships with high-society figures and quickly build his own network. This was only the initial task; the national elections after the Spring Festival were approaching, and it would be crucial which side the Tianqiong Group would stand on. However, Jin Tai only said he would side with the Huaxia Party, but the Huaxia Party's presidential candidate had not yet been chosen, and many were vying for the position; it was difficult to predict who would win.

After much thought, Lin Yupeng still couldn't figure things out. For now, he could only rely on his strengths: deal with the matter at hand and adapt to the situation. That was the only way to handle the complex situation before him. Teacher Du had already talked about the cruelty of political struggle. The worst thing was to take the wrong side. It was like playing chess; one wrong move and the whole game was lost! In addition, luck was also very important.

He lay in bed for more than an hour without falling asleep. He was already energetic and rarely slept, but now that his mind was active, he found it even harder to sleep.

Looking at the extravagantly luxurious surroundings, Lin Yupeng was suddenly overcome with fantasies, thinking to himself, "Such a nice environment, and I'm all alone. It would be so unromantic if I didn't find a beautiful woman to keep me company, would

n't it?" Currently, the only woman who had come to Yanjing with him was Tian Xin. Lin Yupeng chuckled, took out his phone, and dialed Tian Xin's number. Tian Xin's soft, sweet voice quickly answered, "Brother Lin, aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, "Yeah, you're not asleep either!" Both of their sentences were meaningless; how could they make a phone call if they were asleep? "

Hmm, I can't see her in this new environment," Tian Xin replied softly.

"Hehe, you're excited, aren't you! Are you in the staff dormitory?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

"Yes!" "Tian Xin answered sweetly, her tone tinged with shyness, for she already had a premonition of what Lin Yupeng was going to do next.

Sure enough, Lin Yupeng chuckled wickedly, "Darling, I can't sleep alone, come keep me company!"

Tian Xin hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Brother Lin, isn't that inappropriate? There's another girl sharing a room with me, and if I don't come back to the dorm at night, people will gossip about me.

" Lin Yupeng said seriously, "What are you afraid of! Just say you went out to play. This isn't a school, there's no rule that you have to go back to the dorm to sleep at night. Besides, this is a company dormitory, the presidential suite 5002, come on! I've missed you so much!"

Tian Xin couldn't refuse, and in fact, she didn't want to refuse. Before long, her charming figure appeared in front of Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng took her hand, and the two sat on the sofa in the living room. He smiled and asked, "How is this room? Pretty nice, right?"

Tian Xin's beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise and envy, a sweet smile appearing on her face. She nodded softly and said, "Brother Lin, is this the presidential suite? I've never seen anything so luxurious before!"

Lin Yupeng smiled wickedly, his gaze becoming intense as he stared intently at Tian Xin. He said gently, "Wife, if you like it, you can stay here often."

"Ah…that's not good, is it? I'm still just an ordinary employee of the company. Staying in such a high-class room will make people gossip!" Tian Xin blushed, her voice filled with shyness.

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around. He knew Tian Xin was a strong-willed girl, particularly concerned about what others thought of her. He could only chuckle dryly and say, "That's fine, but if I miss you, you have to be by my side at any time!"

The current situation was complex and fraught with danger; he didn't want to make their relationship public. Maintaining this clandestine feeling was quite exciting.

Chapter 704

Intimate Encounters in the Bathroom

"Hehe, little darling, I just called you 'wife,' you should call me 'husband' too, otherwise I'll be at a huge disadvantage!" Lin Yupeng embraced Tian Xin's soft, boneless body and began his flirting techniques again. He called her "wife" and said he was "at a disadvantage"—that was his logic, because he felt that the woman who could enjoy the beautiful title of "wife" was the woman he liked the most.

"Ugh, I won't call you that!" Tian Xin's pretty face flushed, her beautiful mouth flowing with desire as she pouted and acted coquettishly.

"You really won't call me that? Hehe, you'll regret it!" Lin Yupeng said with a mischievous grin.

Knowing he was up to no good, Tian Xin's sweet smile froze. She tried to stand up to avoid his advances, but it was too late. Lin Yupeng opened his arms and held her tightly in his embrace. His big mouth covered Tian Xin's rosy and tender lips, kissing her wantonly and sucking on her slippery little tongue. His hands began to knead her soft and delicate body.

"Ah...mmm..." The ecstatic pleasure emanating from Tian Xin's mouth quickly spread throughout her body, making her delicate body feel hot. Her desire was quickly aroused by Lin Yupeng, and it became uncontrollable. Only true intimacy could quell the overflowing tide of lust.

After a while, Tian Xin's breathing became rapid, and she began to moan and beg for mercy, "Husband, can I take a shower first?"

In her desperation, she finally called Lin Yupeng "husband." Her sweet and charming voice made Lin Yupeng's heart flutter. He really wanted to take her right there and then, but he knew that Tian Xin loved cleanliness, so he chuckled wickedly and said, "Okay, let's take a bath together!"

"Ah...no, I'm not used to it! I'll go take a shower first, and then you can take a shower, okay?" Tian Xin's pretty face was flushed with embarrassment, and she said shyly.

"Alright then, you go ahead!" A wicked glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes as he readily agreed to her request, secretly chuckling to himself, "Little girl, you can't escape my grasp!"

He watched Tian Xin walk into the bathroom next to the living room. After she closed the door, Lin Yupeng's eyes suddenly lit up. He realized Tian Xin hadn't closed the door completely. Those bathroom doors had two locks: the outer lock was connected to the handle on the outside, meaning it could be opened from both inside and outside; the inner lock was inside the bathroom, and once locked, it couldn't be opened from the outside. And just now... Seeing that Tian Xin had only locked the outer lock, he figured she probably didn't know there was an inner lock. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "You can't escape this time! You left the door open for me, thinking you could take a bath with me?"

A short while later, he heard the sound of running water inside. Tian Xin was definitely naked, showering herself. Just thinking about her fair, delicate, and beautifully maintained body stirred up Lin Yupeng's desire, which quickly transformed into lust. He quickly stripped off his clothes, stood up abruptly, and headed towards the bathroom.

Grasping the outer handle, he gently turned it, and the lock opened. Lin Yupeng slipped into the bathroom.

Inside, Tian Xin's naked body was facing away from the door, showering. Her fair, delicate skin, like fresh tofu, was flushed with a rosy blush. Her hair was jet black and shiny. One hand held the showerhead, while the other gently washed her smooth, satin-like back. Her round, pert buttocks swayed seductively.

Lin Yupeng's desire burned ever brighter, and he could no longer restrain himself. He quickly stepped forward and embraced Tian Xin from behind, caressing her fragrant and delicate body. Her skin was covered in moisture, warm and smooth to the touch, incredibly ecstatic.

"Ah... ooh... no..." Tian Xin's soft, boneless body writhed, her pretty face as red as a ripe fruit. Because she and Lin Yupeng were very close, and both were naked, this writhing immediately touched Lin Yupeng's sensitive areas. Tian Xin couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her cheeks burning, unable to suppress her shyness.

"Hehe, wife, let me rub your body!" Lin Yupeng, aroused by her earlier actions, placed his hands on her full, firm breasts and began to knead them slowly and rhythmically.

Tian Xin trembled all over, her eyes glazed over, her breath coming in short gasps, gradually turning from screams to moans of pleasure. Her body pressed tightly against Lin Yupeng's, the pleasure from their physical contact surging like waves.

After a passionate caress, Lin Yupeng, burning with desire, pressed Tian Xin down to the edge of the bathtub and began to thrust into her beautiful body. The splashing water and the smacking sounds of their bodies rubbing together created a symphony of debauchery.

The advantage of making love in the bathroom is that you can wash away any traces at any time, and the water also acts as a lubricant, making it even more stimulating. Lin Yupeng and Tian Xin tossed and turned in the bathroom for over an hour before reluctantly separating. After washing each other, Lin Yupeng, still unsatisfied, picked up the naked Tian Xin and carried her to the large bed in the bedroom to start a new battleground…

The next morning, Lin Yupeng and Tian Xin woke up at the same time. After getting dressed, Tian Xin, blushing, quietly left the presidential suite, her expression no different from that of a young woman who had just had an affair.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, wandered around the suite, opened the window to breathe in some fresh air, and looked down at the fifty-story skyscraper below. The cars looked like matchboxes, and the people looked like ants.

After observing for a moment, he left the presidential suite, had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs, and then went down to his vice president's office to begin his new day's work.

Lin Yupeng hasn't officially taken over as chairman yet, so he works in the vice president's office, but even that office is much more luxurious than his old one in Tianhan City.

His daytime work was simple: reviewing a few backlogged documents and making a round of the departments under his supervision. In the afternoon, Chairman Jin Tai convened a meeting of senior management, announcing several new personnel appointments and dismissals: First, Xu Weiguo was promoted to president of Tianqiong Group. Second, Qiao Fenny was promoted to HR director and concurrently served as public relations manager. Third, Xing Zhijian was promoted to

president of subsidiary Xingguang Media, while Xu Weiguo continued to serve as chairman. In short, since the relocation to Yanjing City, almost everyone under Chairman Jin Tai has been promoted.

Following this, the newly appointed president, Xu Weiguo, outlined the group's recent work direction and other issues. After the meeting, it was time to leave work, and the celebration banquet at 6 PM was held as scheduled in the multi-functional revolving restaurant on the 45th floor of the Tianqiong Building.

Chapter 705 The Spoiled Little Beauty

Lin

Yupeng and Jin Tai arrived at the revolving restaurant at 5:00 PM. The restaurant was brightly lit and opulent, rotating at 120 revolutions per minute. The floor was covered with scarlet Persian carpets, and the overall color scheme was predominantly beige—walls, ceiling, tables, and chairs were all beige, emitting a soft glow under the chandeliers and wall lamps, creating a warm atmosphere.

White tablecloths covered the tables arranged in a circle in the center, each with a long-necked, transparent glass vase containing a single bright red rose.

Just after 5:30 PM, the waiters began serving the food and drinks, and the guests invited by the Sky Dome Group began to arrive.

Chairman Jin Tai, President Xu Weiguo, and Vice President Lin Yupeng were bowing and greeting the guests at the entrance. Jin Tai kept introducing Lin Yupeng to the guests, who had all heard rumors that this young man was likely the future chairman of Tianqiong Group, and therefore looked at Lin Yupeng with even greater respect.

Lin Yupeng knew that Jin Tai was building his network, so he was very polite and attentive to the guests, addressing those of Jin Tai's generation as elders and those of his own generation as brothers, thus fostering closer relationships. These guests were indeed prominent figures in the political and business circles of Yanjing.

The business figures who could come here were all bosses or representatives of various large groups, while the political figures mostly held positions in government agencies, often as deputies or with the title "assistant." It wasn't that Jin Tai couldn't befriend those in "full-time" positions, but rather that their high rank and arrogance made them difficult to persuade, especially now that the government elections were approaching. To protect their positions or advance further, these people rarely made public appearances to avoid being criticized by their political enemies.

Lin Yupeng suddenly saw three people walking towards him: an elderly man and two young women. The two young women looked somewhat alike, probably siblings. The elderly man wasn't actually that old, in his fifties, but his skin was well-maintained with few wrinkles, making him appear to be in his early forties. He was slightly overweight, with a round face and long eyes, and was energetic and sprightly.

Upon seeing Jin Tai, the old man immediately rushed forward, shaking his hand as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years. He said warmly, "Brother Jin, it's been years since we last met! How have you been? I heard you're retiring? Haha, that's good. The world belongs to the young these days; we old folks should enjoy a few days of peace and quiet!

" Lin Yupeng sized up the old man, thinking to himself, "This guy actually calls my godfather 'brother,' so our relationship must be quite special. I guess I'll have to call him 'uncle' later!"

Jin Tai smiled and warmly shook hands with the old man, saying in a loud voice, "Brother Fan, you're still so energetic! Hehe, I can't keep up. You're three years older than me, but to outsiders, I look like I'm ten!" "

Having said that, Jin Tai turned to Lin Yupeng beside him and introduced the old man to him, saying, "Yupeng, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fan Zhenliang, chairman of the Lant Group in Yanjing City. The Lant Group ranks 108th in the Fortune Global 500 and is steadily progressing. It's listed both domestically and internationally. Our Tianqiong Group is far behind them. You should learn from him in the future!"

Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he secretly exclaimed, "Cao Naishan from the Lant Group mentioned her to me a few days ago. Her ex-boyfriend, Fan Qiting, is the son of the chairman of the Lant Group!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly walked up to Fan Zhenliang, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile, "Uncle Fan, hello! I am Lin Yupeng. I hope you will take good care of me in the future!" After saying that, he glanced at the handsome young man behind Fan Zhenliang out of the corner of his eye and wondered, "Could he be Fan Qiting?" "How can he look so young?"

Fan Zhenliang's narrow eyes flashed with sharp light as he sized up Lin Yupeng. He smiled and said, "Hello! Young man, keep up the good work, you have a bright future!"

After saying that, he called the handsome young man behind him to his side and introduced him to Lin Yupeng, "Yupeng, this is my youngest son, Fan Qixuan. He's also a vice president of the group, just like you. You two should get along well!"

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but scrutinize Fan Qixuan. He was wearing a white suit, tall and slender, with fair skin. His delicate features were handsome and refined, with a touch of gentleness in his good looks and a hint of melancholy in his elegance. He was the image of a prince charming in the hearts of those dreamy and romantic young girls.

"Hello, Mr. Lin! May I ask how old you are?" Fan Qixuan smiled and walked over to shake hands with Lin Yupeng, taking the initiative to chat with him.

"Hehe, I'm twenty-four years old this year!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily and answered truthfully.

"Oh? I'm a year younger than you, so I'll call you Big Brother from now on." He sounded very warm and approachable.

At this moment, Jin Tai, who was standing next to Fan Qixuan, asked Fan Zhenliang with a smile, "Brother Fan, why didn't Qiting come?" Fan Zhenliang replied apologetically, "He's working overtime at his unit! He was just promoted to deputy minister, and he's even busier than the minister!"

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Fan Qiting has been promoted to deputy minister, haha, that's half a rank higher than assistant minister. This guy's been promoted pretty fast!"

"Oh, Dad, Second Brother, you've been chatting and haven't introduced me yet!" The girl next to Fan Zhenliang blinked her clear and bright eyes and said coquettishly, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Let me introduce you!" Fan Qixuan pulled the girl to Lin Yupeng's side and smiled, "This is my sister, Fan Qianqian, a sophomore in the Chinese Department of Peking University. Let's get acquainted!"

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but scrutinize Fan Qianqian. She was wearing a brown-yellow hunting jacket, a black skirt, white bootcut pants, and pinkish-gray boots—a fashionable, playful, and lively outfit that perfectly showcased her curvaceous and slender figure. Her breasts were beautiful and firm, and her legs were shapely and sexy.

Looking at her face, she was incredibly pure and beautiful, with a pair of small, bright eyes that blinked lively and spirited, like a happy little angel.

Lin Yupeng quickly stepped forward, took Fan Qianqian's soft, smooth hand, and smiled, "Hello, Qianqian!" "This title comes from Fan Qixuan. He calls Lin Yupeng 'Big Brother,' so his sister is naturally Lin Yupeng's sister too."

"Oh, Mr. Lin, my second brother acknowledges you as his brother, but I haven't! So I really can't accept you calling me 'sister'!" Fan Qianqian pouted her rosy lips, blinked her big eyes, and giggled. Chapter 706 Beautiful Young Woman

Fan Qianqian's smile revealed two small dimples on her peach-blossom cheeks, truly like a blooming red camellia. Her lips parted slightly, revealing a few sharp, white teeth, which, combined with her slightly upturned corners, made her appear innocent, cute, and charming. Lin Yupeng's heart fluttered at the sight , and he could only smile awkwardly, thinking to himself, "This girl is too mischievous and naughty, doesn't she want to be my sister?" Fan Zhenliang's face darkened, he glared at his daughter, and said seriously, "Girl, you're younger than Yupeng, so you're my sister!" " Fan Qianqian blinked her big, watery eyes and pouted, 'Why?! I'm always the younger one, it's so unfair! Every time I attend a banquet, it's either older brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, grandpas and grandmas, they're all older than me!'" "This child is just too willful," Fan Zhenliang said apologetically to Jin Tai. "And quite unreasonable too!" Fan Qixuan chimed in with a smile. "Dad, brother, you're talking bad about me in front of outsiders again, how annoying!" Fan Qianqian blushed and flew into the restaurant like a beautiful butterfly. At this moment, more guests arrived, so Fan Zhenliang and Fan Qixuan had no choice but to follow Fan Qianqian into the restaurant. The guests this time were an older man in his fifties and a younger man in his early thirties. They walked in hand in hand, looking very close, like father and daughter, but Lin Yupeng felt something was off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. The old man was dressed quite smartly, in a suit and tie, with a straight, upright figure. He was a bit thinner than Fan Zhenliang, but quite tall, like a big monkey. He didn't have many wrinkles, his complexion was sallow, he had an oval face, a pointed chin, and a pair of triangular eyes that shone with a sharp light. He exuded an air of arrogant officialdom, and he walked with a steady, measured gait, much like an ancient scholar who "didn't stagger even when his clothes were wet," meaning that no matter how heavy the rain or how soaked his clothes were, he would still walk with measured steps, since it was raining all the time anyway. Looking at the woman beside him, she wore a pink evening gown with lace and pearls. Her slender, snow-white fingers, as delicate as spring onions, were faintly visible through the white veil of the gown, adding a touch of mysterious beauty. Her long, red hair, like seaweed, cascaded down her back. She was adorned with jewels, with amethyst earrings on her delicate earlobes, a platinum necklace on her snow-white neck, a jade bracelet on her fair wrist, and diamond rings on her slender fingers. Under the dazzling beauty of these ornaments, she appeared even more stunning. Her sensual peach blossom eyes flowed with alluring charm, and she exuded the unique charm of a mature woman, captivating all who beheld her. Upon seeing the tall, thin old man, Jin Tai was initially taken aback, then quickly stepped forward with a smile, laughing heartily, "So it's Minister Guan! Your presence today is truly an honor, I am deeply grateful!" He then extended both hands to warmly shake Minister Guan's hands, appearing very friendly. Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Minister Guan? Which ministry? Is the 'Deputy' part omitted?" Just as he was pondering this, Jin Tai beckoned to him, and Lin Yupeng could only smile and walk over. "Yupeng, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Guan Jiyao, Vice Minister of Finance of the State Council!" Jin Tai quickly introduced Lin Yupeng. "Minister Guan, hello! I've heard so much about you!" Lin Yupeng smiled and shook hands with Guan Jiyao, thinking to himself, "Although he's only a vice minister, his rank is probably the highest among the guests here so far. Moreover, he's the vice minister of the Ministry of Finance, in charge of government finances, essentially playing the role of a god of wealth!" Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng were both very skilled in language, addressing Guan Jiyao as "Minister Guan" without adding the word "vice" in the middle. Since the minister hadn't appeared, this way of addressing him would make Guan Jiyao feel comfortable, after all, few people are willing to be a deputy, and everyone wants to remove the word "vice" from the title. Immediately afterward, Guan Jiyao began to introduce the woman beside him with a smile. When he revealed her identity, Lin Yupeng was initially taken aback, but quickly understood, muttering to himself, "An old cow eating young grass!" It turned out the woman was Guan Jiyao's wife, named Zhu Yan. Lin Yupeng shook her hand and smiled, "Hello, Mrs. Guan!" "Hello, Mr. Lin!" Zhu Yan smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she swept her gaze over Lin Yupeng's handsome face, showering him with tender affection. The Guan couple were then ushered into the revolving restaurant. It was already past six o'clock, and most of the guests had arrived. Jin Tai, Xu Weiguo, and Lin Yupeng went to the front and gave toasts, officially beginning the reception. The guests enjoyed various wines and delicacies, chatting with friends. This was a good place to strengthen old friendships and make new ones; these days, more friends mean more paths, more enemies mean more walls! Through this cocktail party, Lin Yupeng truly got to know many well-known figures in both the political and business circles of Yanjing. The fact that these people attended the celebration hosted by Tianqiong Group showed that they still held a favorable view of the company and could be utilized. His network of connections was initially established, though it was still very fragile and required his continued efforts to maintain. Fan Qixuan, holding a cocktail, stepped over and smiled at Lin Yupeng, saying, "Brother Lin, nice to meet you! I'll drink to that first! " "Good, that's straightforward!" Lin Yupeng also picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. He glanced at Fan Qixuan a few times and noticed that after downing his drink, a flush had appeared on Fan Qixuan's fair and handsome face. He was the type of person whose face turned red when he drank. These kinds of people are said to be easy to get along with. The most difficult to deal with are those who can drink as much as they want without getting drunk, their faces remaining unchanged and their hearts not skipping a beat. You never know their true capacity; they are unfathomable. Fan Qixuan and Lin Yupeng were of similar age and both were vice presidents of the group, destined to succeed him. They had a lot in common and chatted very congenially. Of course, the conversation wasn't limited to business; it even touched on personal hobbies. Through their conversation, Lin Yupeng discovered that although Fan Qixuan had a somewhat boyish air, he was actually quite generous, warm and sincere, and spoke with refined elegance and humor—truly a friend worth making. As the two were chatting, a rich fragrance wafted over, and then Lin Yupeng's eyes lit up. Zhu Yan, the wife of Guan Jiyao, the Vice Minister of Finance, appeared gracefully before him and Fan Qixuan, holding a half-empty glass of red wine. "Mrs. Guan, hello!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly and greeted her again. Actually, on their first meeting, given the difference in age between men and women, there wasn't much to say. (Chapter 707: Professional Mistress) Zhu Yan walked over alone. Her husband, Guan Jiyao, who was old enough to be her father, was chatting with several prominent business figures.

A hint of spring light flickered in Zhu Yan's alluring eyes as she glanced at Lin Yupeng, giggled, and said, "I've heard Mr. Lin is quite remarkable for his age, becoming the Vice President of Tianqiong Group at just twenty-four. Truly admirable!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily and humbly replied, "Mrs. Guan

, you flatter me, haha!" "Mr. Lin, let's have a drink!" Zhu Yan's captivating beauty shone through her eyes as she smiled sweetly.

"Yes, cheers!" Lin Yupeng smiled and clinked glasses with the child, then tilted his head back and downed his drink in one gulp. He was a heavy drinker, and even if every guest toasted him, he wouldn't show any signs of drunkenness.

After Zhu Yan and Lin Yupeng finished their drink, Zhu Yan let out a series of silvery laughs, then turned and gracefully returned to her husband's side, as light as a lotus leaf swaying in the wind.

Fan Qixuan glanced at Zhu Yan indifferently, then leaned closer to Lin Yupeng and said in a teasing tone, "Brother Lin, I think this Zhu Yan seems to have a bit of a thing for you!" He then gave his reason: "I was right next to you just now, why did you only clink glasses with me?"

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but glance at the alluring Zhu Yan in the distance, his face darkening, and he said in a low voice, "Qixuan, don't tease me! If you want to drink with her, I'll call her over right now, but her husband might have feelings for you!"

Fan Qixuan laughed heartily, "Hehe, I have no interest in her." "

Lin Yupeng lowered his voice and said seriously, "That's right, you're not interested. She's a married woman, the wife of a vice minister. Aren't you afraid her husband will make things difficult for you if you mess with her?" He was deliberately teasing Fan Qixuan. In fact, he didn't consider Guan Jiyao, the vice minister of finance, to be any important person. In his eyes, Guan Jiyao was just a pawn to be used.

Fan Qixuan believed him, and a look of disdain appeared on his face. He leaned close to Lin Yupeng's ear and whispered, "Brother Lin, I don't care about that kind of woman. Do you know what she used to do?"

Lin Yupeng's curiosity was piqued, and he asked in a deep voice, "What did she do? "

Fan Qixuan chuckled, raised his index and middle fingers with his right hand, waved them in front of Lin Yupeng's eyes, and whispered, "She did this!"

"A mistress?" Lin Yupeng asked in a low voice only after making sure that no one was around.

"She's a professional mistress! It's said that Zhu Yan was kept by a Hong Kong boss when she was eighteen. She's thirty-two this year, and in the past fourteen years, she's changed masters countless times. She was only taken in by Guan Jiyao two years ago, and back then she was a stunning mistress. Last year, Guan Jiyao's wife passed away, and that's when she was officially his wife. She's finally made it!"

After saying this, Fan Qixuan's face showed a hint of mockery, and he chuckled, "Hehe, this woman is very good at seducing men, and she knows how to use all the virtues of a woman to please them. Many men fall at her feet. Brother Lin, you should be careful; I saw her looking at you a little ambiguously just now." "You might become a member of her reserve team!"

Lin Yupeng heard him speak so solemnly, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to Zhu Yan again, meeting her alluring and beautiful eyes as she glanced at him. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to Fan Qixuan, asking in a low voice, "What did you say? Reserve team?"

Fan Qixuan smiled and said, "That's right! If Vice Minister Guan makes any mistakes in the future, women will likely cling to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and melodious voice, like the song of a nightingale, rang out beside him: "Second brother, what are you talking about?" It turned out that the lively and lovely Fan Qianqian had appeared at some point, asking with a giggle.

"Hehe, about women!" Fan Qixuan glanced at his sister and chuckled dryly as he answered.

"Hmph, I knew you men, when you get together, you can't stop talking about women!" Qianqian blinked her bright black eyes and said coquettishly.

"Yeah! We were just talking about you, this willful, capricious, quirky little woman. What if no man dares to marry you in the future?" Fan Qixuan glanced at his sister, teasing her on purpose.

Lin Yupeng guessed that the siblings often bickered and joked at home. He smiled slightly, turned around to find the waiter to refill his wine, and prepared to have a few more drinks with Fan Qixuan later. He felt an instant connection with him today and they chatted very congenially.

"Ugh! Who said no man dares to marry me? Lots of boys are chasing after me, but I don't care about them. I haven't had enough fun on my own yet! Having a boyfriend would be a burden!" Fan Qianqian corrected him coquettishly.

"Is that so? You're not getting any younger. After you graduate, hurry up and get married so our family can have one less pair of chopsticks and save a lot of food!" Fan Qixuan continued to tease his sister with a smile.

"Oh, Second Brother, how could you say something like that! Are you annoyed with me?" Fan Qianqian pouted her rosy lips angrily and pushed Fan Qixuan.

"What's wrong? You're such a nuisance, little girl!" Fan Qixuan chuckled, giving his sister's smooth shoulder a playful shove. They often teased each other like this.

But this seemingly casual shove caused trouble! Just then, Lin Yupeng turned around, having filled a glass with wine. Fan Qianqian, pushed forward by her brother, bumped into his glass, spilling red wine onto her brown hunting jacket.

"Ah... what are you doing?" Fan Qianqian cried out loudly, drawing the attention of many guests who stared in astonishment.

"Miss Fan... I'm sorry!" Lin Yupeng felt he wasn't really responsible, but out of politeness, he still apologized. However, Fan Qianqian was just as her brother had described—spoiled and willful. She glared at Lin Yupeng and said coquettishly, "Watch where you're going! Why did you pour so much wine? It's so annoying! This dress of mine costs several thousand yuan, and you've ruined it!"

Fan Qixuan, standing nearby, said with a dark face, "Little sister, why are you blaming your brother Lin? Who told you to lose your balance? You should blame me; I pushed you." "!"

Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed, she bit her lip lightly, and said coquettishly, "You're all ganging up on me."

Lin Yupeng smiled bitterly to himself, "This girl is really unreasonable!" But when he saw that her top was soaked with red wine, he couldn't bear it. Although the main responsibility wasn't his, it was still his wine that had soiled her clothes. So he took out a few tissues from his briefcase and went over to help Fan Qianqian wipe her clothes. Before the wine completely soaked into her clothes, he could wipe it off and wash it off.

Chapter 708 The Little Witch's Fury

Chapter 708 The Little Witch's Fury

Lin Yupeng meant well, but unfortunately, the part of Fan Qianqian's clothes that was soaked with wine was her beautiful and firm breasts. He took the tissues and started wiping the girl's firm and sensitive high places. A soft and elastic wonderful feeling surged through him like an electric shock.

"You...you let go! You're such a bad guy! Pervert!" Fan Qianqian felt a tingling, itchy sensation on her large breasts, and two blushes rose on her delicate cheeks. She angrily slapped Lin Yupeng's hand away and turned to run quickly out of the restaurant.

Reaching the door, Fan Qianqian turned back, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a mixture of shame and anger. She glared at Lin Yupeng and said coquettishly, "Lin Yupeng, you bullied me! I'll remember this today, and I'll get my revenge!" With that, she stamped her foot angrily and ran quickly out of the revolving restaurant, probably to go home and change.

She had spoken very loudly, and almost all the guests had heard her, but many looked at Lin Yupeng with sympathy, knowing that Fan Zhenliang's youngest daughter was notoriously spoiled, and that today's incident wasn't necessarily Lin Yupeng's fault.

Lin Yupeng, still holding a tissue, watched Fan Qianqian's retreating figure and gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

Fan Qixuan, standing to the side, said with a tragic expression, "Brother Lin, alas, it's all my fault for what happened today! I made you offend this little devil!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "It's alright, I'll explain it to her properly sometime later!"

Fan Qixuan smiled wryly, "It's pointless to reason with her! Even I can't control her."

At this moment, Fan Zhenliang walked over with a wine glass in his hand, his eyes flashing as he stared at Fan Qixuan and asked seriously, "Qixuan, is Qianqian throwing another tantrum?"

Fan Qixuan briefly recounted what had just happened, and Fan Zhenliang glared at him fiercely and scolded in a low voice, "What kind of occasion is this, still fighting like this?"

Fan Qixuan just lowered his head and remained silent, looking like a child who had done something wrong. He dared not talk back in front of his father.

Fan Zhenliang smiled and walked up to Lin Yupeng, saying apologetically, "Yupeng, I'm sorry, my daughter is too willful. It's also my fault for not disciplining her strictly enough; I've spoiled her rotten, haha!"

Lin Yupeng laughed loudly, "Uncle Fan, it's also my fault for being too rash. I'll find some time to visit Miss Fan and apologize later!"

Fan Zhenliang smiled and said, "No need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong! But our Fan family always welcomes you to visit!"

Fan Qixuan chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes, Brother Lin, you're welcome to come to our house often!"

Jin Tai stepped forward and said in a deep voice to Lin Yupeng, "Yupeng, come with me to toast!" After saying that, the two of them raised their glasses and began to toast the guests present, and the atmosphere of the party reached its climax.

The celebration party lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. The guests left one after another. Before leaving, Fan Qixuan made a promise with Lin Yupeng that he would take him to some good places in Yanjing City, showing that he was a rather playful young master.

After all the guests had left, only Lin Yupeng, Jin Tai, and Xu Weiguo remained in the revolving restaurant, besides the busy waiters.

"Chairman Jin, I didn't expect Vice Minister Guan to come. It's truly beyond my expectations," Xu Weiguo said to Jin Tai in a deep voice, holding a half-empty glass of wine, his eyes gleaming.

Jin Tai's expression turned cold and serious. He nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Guan Jiyao has always been our target, but that old fellow is too cunning. He still won't reveal his stance."

Xu Weiguo sneered, "I think he wants to be a weathervane, swaying whichever side is stronger."

Jin Tai nodded, then turned to Lin Yupeng and said seriously, "Yupeng, you must be careful of Guan Jiyao from now on. Win him over while remaining vigilant, understand?"

Lin Yupeng replied solemnly, "Understood! Don't worry!" But in his heart, he thought, "There are so many opportunists these days, they're on good terms with everyone but offend no one! I saw through Guan Jiyao a long time ago; he speaks in a half-smiling, half-mocking way, so strange!"

The three left the revolving restaurant and went back to their rooms to rest. Tonight, Lin Yupeng didn't look for Tian Xin. Lying in his bedroom in the presidential suite, his mind replayed the people he had met and the events that had occurred at the party. Many important figures left a deep impression, including the flirtatious "Mrs. Guan" Zhu Yan and the mischievous and adorable "little devil" Fan Qianqian.

Suddenly, he thought of Zhu Liyan from the national gymnastics team, his lovely younger sister. Now they were in the same city again, and his heart warmed. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Zhu Liyan's number.

It's nine o'clock at night, and Zhu Liyan should still be awake. Sure enough, Zhu Liyan's soft, sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, hehe, is this Brother Lin?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly: "It's me, Liyan. How have you been lately? Training must be tough, right?"

Zhu Liyan replied sweetly: "It's alright, I'm adapting. Brother Lin, are you still so busy with work lately? Take care of yourself!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily: "Liyan, our company has moved to Yanjing City, so we can see each other more often from now on!"

"Oh? Really? That's wonderful!" Zhu Liyan said with delight, "Brother Lin, the gymnastics team has a half-day off tomorrow afternoon, I want to see you." Her voice softened at the last sentence, and after a slight pause, she continued, "I miss you so much!"

Lin Yupeng said gently, "Liyan, I miss you too! How about this, I have to work tomorrow, so you can rest for a while this afternoon. I'll come find you after I finish work at 5:30 pm. Where do you live?"

Zhu Liyan replied sweetly, "I'm at the National Gymnastics Training Center, No. 21 Hanyang Road, Xicheng District. Remember to call me before you come!"

Lin Yupeng responded, chatted with Zhu Liyan for a few moments, and then hung up.

The next day, Lin Yupeng continued to oversee work at Tianqiong Group. The group's daily operations were now basically stable, and the losses caused by the relocation had been minimized. Chairman Jin Tai was still elusive, frequently traveling with Li Zhanbo.

Lin Yupeng also had many things to handle. After finishing work, he remembered his date with Zhu Liyan that evening, so he left the company, got in his car, and headed straight to the National Gymnastics Training Center.

Arriving at the gate, Lin Yupeng dialed Zhu Liyan's number and smiled, "Liyan, I'm at the training center gate! When are you coming out?"

Zhu Liyan's sweet voice was tinged with a coquettish tone, as if she had just woken up. She softly said, "Brother Lin, can you wait ten minutes? I overslept!"

Lin

Yupeng

chuckled dryly, "Okay, you little sleepyhead! Hurry up and come out!"

"Ugh...you're the one who's...you're so annoying!" Zhu Liyan said coquettishly, then hung up the phone.

Not long after, Zhu Liyan's charming figure appeared at the entrance of the training center. Today, she was wearing a loose-fitting tracksuit, her full, peach-like breasts standing proudly, her figure slender and well-proportioned, with a slim waist and round, upturned buttocks forming an incredibly beautiful and alluring "S" shape. Her eyebrows were like paintings, her nose was delicate and exquisite, her lips were rosy and sexy, and her face was fair and delicate. She possessed all the beauty and charm, playfulness and cuteness of a young girl.

Lin Yupeng quickly stepped forward, gently took her slender, fair hand, stared intently at Zhu Liyan's pure and charming face, and said softly, "Liyan, I'm so happy to see you again. I've missed you so much these past few days, hehe!"

Thinking of the wonderful night before they parted, when she gave him her virginity, a wave of tenderness and affection washed over Lin Yupeng.

Zhu Liyan's fair, rosy face, her large, watery eyes blinking, caught sight of Lin Yupeng, and joy and happiness shone through her. When Lin Yupeng took her hand, a charming blush rose to her cheeks, and she sweetly said, "Brother Lin, I missed you so much!"

With that, the two walked hand in hand towards the car. As they walked, Zhu Liyan glanced around warily, her face flushed, and whispered to Lin Yupeng, "Brother Lin, if we run into any acquaintances, just say you're my brother!"

Lin Yupeng paused, then laughed heartily, "Is dating not allowed in the national team?"

Zhu Liyan blushed deeply, nodded shyly, and half-bitten her soft, red lips, displaying a charmingly bashful demeanor that stirred Lin Yupeng's heart, making him want to kiss those trembling, beautiful petals.

The two got into the car hand in hand. Lin Yupeng gazed at Zhu Liyan and asked softly, "Liyan, haven't you eaten yet? What would you like to eat?"

Zhu Liyan's bright, clear eyes sparkled with a playful and mischievous light as she giggled, "Brother Lin, I want to eat KFC again!"

Lin Yupeng knew she loved it, but he had never had the chance to try it. He smiled helplessly, gently stroking her delicate chin with a look of affection, but deliberately put on a serious face and said, "KFC again? Don't you want to maintain your figure?"

Zhu Liyan blushed slightly, pouted her rosy lips, and said softly, "I've seen many teammates sneaking off to eat there. It's okay if I eat it once or twice, I can just train for a few more hours afterward!"

"Alright then! Is there a KFC nearby?" Lin Yupeng chuckled and asked in a deep voice. He never refused any request from Zhu Liyan.

"It's just ahead!" Zhu Liyan's pretty face lit up with joy, and she pointed ahead with her slender hand.

"Brother Xiang, drive!" Lin Yupeng gave the order to Xiang Kui in the driver's seat, and the car drove steadily forward. Just as Lin Yupeng's car left the training center, a silver-gray Ford sedan sped up and stopped smoothly in the spot where Lin Yupeng had just been.

Lin Yupeng and Zhu Liyan arrived at a KFC on this street. The store was quite large, with two floors. It was peak time, and there were many people eating inside, mostly couples, with very few single people.

Lin Yupeng let Zhu Liyan save a seat first, then he went to buy food—all of Zhu Liyan's favorites: chicken wings, chicken legs, fries, and a cod burger, plus two cans of cola. He carried a large tray to the spot Zhu Liyan had chosen, sat down, and ate slowly with her.

Zhu Liyan's eating manners were always so sweet and adorable; her little mouth was oily, and she always remembered to wipe it with a tissue before eating again, wiping it again as it got oily, eating with great relish.

Lin Yupeng, however, rarely ate this kind of food, only watching her eat, occasionally taking a sip or two of his drink.

"Brother Lin, you eat too! You're just watching me eat! I can't eat that much!" Zhu Liyan's eyes were bigger than her stomach; she was full after eating only a little of everything.

"Hehe, don't you know the saying 'beauty is food for the eyes'? I'm already full just looking at you, and..." A mischievous smile appeared on his face as he leaned close to Zhu Liyan's ear, deliberately teasing her, "Hehe, Liyan, you're much tastier than KFC!"

"Ah... Brother Lin, you're so naughty! I'm so embarrassed!" Zhu Liyan had already been intimate with Lin Yupeng, so she naturally understood the deeper meaning of "eating." A charming blush immediately crept onto her pretty face, like an ink wash painting, and the intoxicating blush quickly spread to her jade neck and earlobes, making her even more beautiful and charming.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, about to say a few sweet words, when he suddenly saw Zhu Liyan's beautiful eyes glance unintentionally at the door, and then a look of surprise and embarrassment flowed from her lips. She then turned her head away, blushing.

Lin Yupeng wondered to himself, "What did she see?" His curiosity piqued, he turned to look at the doorway. A man and a woman walked in hand-in-hand, their expressions intimate. The girl was about the same age as Zhu Liyan, wearing a white trench coat and purple boots. She was incredibly sweet and charming, a true beauty, one in a hundred. Her large, clear eyes, like pools of autumn water, were bright and captivating, making her look like a cute princess from an anime.

Looking at her boyfriend beside her, Lin Yupeng couldn't help but smile. It was Fan Qixuan, a friend he had just made a few days ago, the vice president of Lant Group, who had very close ties with Tianqiong Group.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Zhu Liyan's reaction is strange. Does she know Fan Qixuan and that girl? Why did she turn her head away as soon as she saw them, as if she didn't want them to recognize her?"

Fan Qixuan, with his sharp eyes, saw Lin Yupeng looking back. His face lit up with surprise and delight. He quickly walked over with the girl and laughed heartily, "So it's Brother Lin! Hehe, what a coincidence to meet you here!"

"Ah, it's Sister Liyan! What's going on?" The pretty girl beside Fan Qixuan blinked her big eyes at Lin Yupeng, then glanced at the shy Zhu Liyan opposite him, and asked with a charming smile.

Zhu Liyan knew that no matter how much she turned her head, she couldn't escape, so she blushed and smiled sweetly at the girl, "It's Sister Huang, and this is my brother!" After saying that, she pointed to Lin Yupeng opposite her with her slender finger.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly at the girl, thinking to himself, "Judging from her temperament, she's similar to Zhu Liyan. Could she be her gymnastics teammate?" Fan Qixuan hurriedly smiled and introduced the girl beside him to Lin Yupeng, saying, "Brother Lin, let me introduce you. This is my daughter..." Before he could finish the

sentence , the girl interrupted him, blinking her big eyes and giggling, "I'm his sister, my name is Huang Xiaofu!" Fan Qixuan quickly understood and chuckled, "Yes, this is my sister, hehe. " Lin Yupeng chuckled, knowingly asking, "Qixuan, isn't your sister Fan Qianqian? How come you have another sister?" Fan Qixuan awkwardly replied, "She's my god-sister!" Then, his eyes darted around, a mischievous smile appearing on his face as he stared at Lin Yupeng, saying, "Brother Lin, I've never heard of you having such a little sister." "He was obviously referring to Zhu Liyan." "Hehe, just like you, my god-sister!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly. The two of them exchanged knowing glances, each understanding that the girl beside the other was a "sister," just like the song lyric: "How many good sisters do you have?" Huang Xiaofu was a little confused about the relationships between these people, and hurriedly asked Fan Qixuan: "Do you know Mr. Lin?" Fan Qixuan laughed heartily: "Yes, we met at a party a few days ago!" After saying that, he glanced at Zhu Liyan and asked with a smile: "You know each other too?" Huang Xiaofu giggled: "She's my teammate, we're both on the national gymnastics team!" After saying that, he leaned down and sat down next to Zhu Liyan, chatting with her excitedly. "Liyan, so you also like KFC!" Huang Xiaofu asked with a chuckle. Zhu Liyan's beautiful eyes sparkled, she glanced at Lin Yupeng, nodded slightly, and looked quite shy. Lin Yupeng, sitting opposite her, chuckled inwardly. "No wonder Zhu Liyan turned her head away earlier; she was afraid her teammates would see her eating at KFC with me! Huang Xiaofu must have used her afternoon off to meet up with her 'boyfriend' Fan Qixuan for KFC too." "Hey, bro...bro, what are you standing there for? Buy us some more food!" Huang Xiaofu glanced at Fan Qixuan, pouting and pleading sweetly. Lin Yupeng almost burst out laughing, thinking, "bro? Why does that sound so much like 'husband' to me?" Fan Qixuan chuckled, strode to the counter, and bought a large tray of various KFC fast food items. The four of them sat around a table, eating and chatting. Lin Yupeng could tell that Fan Qixuan wasn't particularly interested in this kind of Western fast food, only taking a few bites at a time. He was only at this place for his "girlfriend," Huang Xiaofu. After the four finished eating, the two couples parted ways at the KFC entrance. Fan Qixuan and Huang Xiaofu got into the silver-gray Ford and drove away slowly. "Liyan, where are we going?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile, his eyes fixed on Zhu Liyan. Zhu Liyan blinked her large, watery eyes, thought for a moment, and then replied sweetly, "Let's go to a coffee shop! It's quieter there, and no one will disturb our conversation." "Okay! Let's go to a coffee shop then!" Lin Yupeng nodded in agreement, and the two got into the car and went to a nearby coffee shop. The environment was quite upscale, perfect for couples to chat. They ordered two cups of fragrant coffee, and the long-separated couple began to chat affectionately, accompanied by soft music in the coffee shop, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere. Lin Yupeng and Zhu Liyan stayed in the coffee shop until 8 p.m., when Zhu Liyan had to get up and return to the training center, as the gates there closed at 9 p.m., and not returning to the dormitory at night would result in severe punishment from the team.

The two left the coffee shop, got into their car, and slowly drove towards the national gymnastics training center. Looking at the pretty and quiet girl beside him, Lin Yupeng felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He reached out and took her slender, delicate hand, smiling, "Liyan, be careful during training, take good care of yourself. I'm waiting for you to win a gold medal!"

Zhu Liyan smiled sweetly, a blush rising to her cheeks, and said sweetly, "Brother Lin, I will work hard. You must come to see me often!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "I will. Remember to call me when you have another competition!"

Zhu Liyan smiled charmingly and nodded gently. A hint of ambiguity flowed in her clear, autumn-water-like eyes, and her rosy, delicate lips trembled, like fresh cherries tempting to be picked

. Lin Yupeng felt a surge of desire rising within him, and he couldn't help but reach out and pull the beautiful woman beside him into his arms. Her soft, boneless body, like cotton, was so delicate that even through her clothes, he could clearly feel her flawless skin. A faint fragrance of youthful scent filled his nostrils, sending shivers down his spine. Zhu Liyan had already closed her beautiful eyes in embarrassment, her long, slender eyelashes trembling, making her incredibly cute and alluring.

He couldn't resist lowering his head and gently kissing her tender, tofu-like cheeks. A wave of fragrant, smooth sensation spread from his lips and tongue throughout his body. Zhu Liyan's pretty face flushed crimson, overwhelmed with shyness, and her body trembled slightly.

Lin Yupeng slowly kissed her beautiful, delicate face, gradually moving to her soft, delicate, petal-like cherry lips, gently sucking and swirling them, his tongue scraping against her lips. With each movement, Zhu Liyan's delicate body writhed, her ears and neck flushed with embarrassment. Her chest heaved, her breath quickened, and she gasped softly, yet she still awkwardly responded to his kisses.

Lin Yupeng's tongue, like a persistent shovel, began to probe and pry at her pearly white teeth, rhythmically scraping against them. Zhu Liyan felt waves of exquisite pleasure ripple through her lips and teeth, and her defenses crumbled instantly. His warm, fragrant breath enveloped Lin Yupeng's tongue, and he immediately pressed his advantage, venturing into her mouth and wantonly invading every corner.

Zhu Liyan's delicate nose began to emit joyful moans, completely intoxicated by Lin Yupeng's wonderful kiss.

Lin Yupeng's mouth and tongue were completely immersed in the warm, moist, and slippery sensation. After capturing her soft, smooth tongue, he gently licked it, his teeth occasionally brushing against it... His hands also began to wander, caressing her delicate body, slowly climbing up to her peach-like breasts and gently kneading them.

After a passionate and sweet intimacy, the car had already arrived at the gymnastics training center. Zhu Liyan had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to Lin Yupeng.

"Brother Lin, we have a holiday during the Spring Festival, shall we go home together?"

Liyan gazed tenderly at Lin Yupeng and said sweetly.

"Okay!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, then felt a warm, delicate touch on his right cheek. It turned out Zhu Liyan had gently given him a sweet kiss. He blushed, opened the car door, and sped back to the training center.

(Chapter 711:

The Appointment at Qixuan)

Lin Yupeng gently stroked the spot where Zhu Liyan had kissed him; the smooth, soft feeling lingered. He chuckled, a warm wave of emotion washing over him. After watching Zhu Liyan's figure disappear, he told Xiang Kui to drive back to the Bentianqiong Building.

Arriving at his residence in the Presidential Palace... It was past 10 PM in the suite. Lin Yupeng lay in bed, his mind still racing with future plans. After some time, he felt drowsy and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Lin Yupeng got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and went downstairs to the vice president's office to begin his workday.

After a busy day, just before the end of the workday, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Fan Qixuan's number; they had exchanged contact information at the party the day before.

"Brother Lin, are you free tonight? Let's hang out!" Fan Qixuan asked with a smile, getting straight to the point.

Lin Yupeng had already figured out that Fan Qixuan was a playboy, but also a kind and sincere person, so he smiled and replied, "Yes, I have time. Where should we go tonight?"

Fan Qixuan said happily, "Brother Lin, I've already planned it all! Let's go eat first, and then I'll take you to a fun place—the Shuiyuntian Nightclub!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled then. Where shall we meet? "

Fan Qixuan replied, "I'll come to your place! I can also take a look around your Sky Dome Group!"

Lin Yupeng laughed and said, "Alright, I'll let the security guards know in a bit. You can come to my office first!

" "Okay, goodbye!" Fan Qixuan hung up the phone, and Lin Yupeng immediately took out his walkie-talkie and asked Deng Yuhu, the head of the security department, to receive Fan Qixuan.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the office door. Lin Yupeng knew it was Fan Qixuan and hurriedly called out, "Come in!" The

door opened, and Fan Qixuan walked in accompanied by Deng Yuhu. Lin Yupeng went up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled, "Qixuan, you came pretty fast!"

Fan Qixuan laughed heartily, his eyes scanning the office a few times, and said with admiration, "Brother Lin, your office is quite impressive, much better than mine!" Lin Yupeng was taken aback, then laughed loudly and asked, "

Brother Qixuan, you're being too modest! Lant Group is a Fortune Global 500 company, far superior to our Tianqiong Group in terms of strength. Can your office be any worse than mine?"

Fan Qixuan smiled helplessly, "Brother Lin, you don't know, my father is always very frugal with money. He only pursues practicality in his office space, not blindly competing in wealth."

Lin Yupeng chuckled, secretly thinking, "Fan Zhenliang and my godfather Jin Tai have completely opposite styles. One emphasizes frugality and practicality, the other emphasizes extravagance.

Sigh, Tianqiong Group spends far too much money on image projects. If they didn't use that money for business and revenue generation, they'd probably be in the Fortune Global 500 long ago!"

But then he thought again and felt relieved, "Perhaps my godfather thinks that the money Tianqiong Group earned in the past wasn't from legitimate sources, and he's worried about it being exposed, so he's spent it all on enjoyment!" "Soaking in the bath, glancing at the clock, enjoying every second! No, once I'm in full control, I must correct this attitude and truly make the Sky Dome Group great!"

Fan Qixuan had no idea what Lin Yupeng was thinking. Curious, he circled the room, finally arriving at Lin Yupeng's large rosewood desk. His eyes immediately fell on the crystal photo frame on the desk, displaying a pure and beautiful picture of Chen Lihan at the beach. He paused, pointing at the photo and turning to Lin Yupeng, asking, "Brother Lin, is this girl your girlfriend?"

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded, "Yes! You should call her sister-in-law, hehe!" He then walked over, his gaze falling on Chen Lihan's photo. Remembering that beautiful, gentle, and charming girl, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Hehe, so beautiful! Brother Lin has a good eye; you can tell your sister-in-law must be a virtuous wife and loving mother!" "Fan Qixuan smiled and praised.

After a slight pause, Fan Qixuan suddenly remembered what happened last night, and chuckled dryly as he asked, "Brother Lin, is Zhu Liyan really your god-sister?"

Lin Yupeng smiled noncommittally, then countered, "And you're saying Huang Xiaofu, is she really your god-sister? I don't think so, she's definitely your girlfriend. I should call her sister-in-law, right?

" Fan Qixuan laughed loudly, "Brother Lin, you guessed right! Hehe, they don't allow dating in the gymnastics team, so now all the female team members call their boyfriends 'Big Brother'!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qixuan, where shall we eat today?"

Fan Qixuan smiled and replied, "I've already chosen. Let's go to the Jingshun Hotel. Their Beijing cuisine is very authentic! You're new to this place and don't know anyone. I'm a local, so it's only right that I show you hospitality!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Then let's go now. I'm hungry too!" The two chatted and laughed as they left the office and the Sky Dome Building .

Fan Qixuan's silver-gray Ford led the way, followed by Xiang Kui driving Lin Yupeng's Audi. After about twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the Jing Shun Hotel, as Fan Qixuan had mentioned.

This was a long-established hotel, renowned nationwide for its Beijing cuisine. Its chefs were all national-level master chefs, and sometimes even state banquets required chefs drawn from here.

Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan got out of the car. Fan Qixuan had brought two bodyguards, and Lin Yupeng's bodyguard, Xiang Kui, made a total of five people. They stepped into the Jing Shun Hotel.

As soon as they entered, a smartly dressed and beautiful waitress quickly greeted them with a sweet smile: "Hello, Mr. Fan! Your private room is ready. Please follow me!"

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Mr. Fan? That's an interesting way to address him. It seems he's a regular customer!" Upon arriving at the private room reserved by Fan Qixuan

, the waiter handed over the menu. Fan Qixuan presented it to Lin Yupeng with a smile, saying, "Brother Lin, please order first! This meal is on me, order whatever you like! Just enjoy yourself, don't skimp on the price!"

His words were quite generous. Lin Yupeng chuckled, picked up the menu, and examined it carefully. He considered himself a worldly person; the prices here were outrageously high. A simple cold dish cost 100 yuan, and that was the cheapest option. Other dishes easily cost hundreds or thousands, with the most expensive, American abalone and

shark fin, costing 10,000 yuan. In this place, money was practically worthless, like paper; you could spend any amount you could get. Lin Yupeng knew Fan Qixuan was extremely wealthy, and it was normal for him to carry

hundreds

of thousands of yuan with him when he went out—otherwise, he wouldn't have boasted so much. However, he didn't order the most expensive dishes; he chose two mid-priced dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables. Then he returned the menu to Fan Qixuan.

Fan Qixuan casually picked up the menu and ordered five or six more dishes, all priced higher than what Lin Yupeng had ordered. He also ordered two bottles of aged red wine.

Lin Yupeng roughly calculated that the meal would cost over ten thousand yuan, an amount many people couldn't save in a year of hard work. They were spending it all on one meal—too extravagant.

Soon after, all the food and drinks were served. Beijing cuisine blends the cooking techniques of Han, Mongolian, Manchu, and Hui ethnic groups, inheriting the essence of Ming and Qing dynasty imperial cuisine. It is characterized by its crispness, fragrance, and freshness, with a rich and mellow flavor.

Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan chatted as they ate, learning about the lives of many high-ranking figures in Yanjing City. Later, they discussed the Shuiyuntian Nightclub they were going to visit.

"Brother Lin, Shuiyuntian is the top nightclub in Yanjing City, a great place for the upper class to gather. If you want to get to know them, go there. Even some high-ranking government officials go there in their spare time. Of course, many of them wear makeup, so only acquaintances can recognize them," Fan Qixuan said confidently.

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, "Even if it's top-notch, it's still a brothel!"

Fan Qixuan blinked and smiled, "It's different from ordinary brothels. In those places, you can pick up any girl as long as you have money. But in Shuiyuntian, money is practically worthless. Money alone isn't enough; you also need power and influence! The girls there are all very high-class and generally don't go out unless you have the ability to lure them out!" "

After his introduction, Lin Yupeng's interest was piqued. He wanted to see what the difference was between this high-society nightclub and those high-class hostesses.

After dinner, Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan left the Jingshun Hotel and arrived at the Shuiyuntian Nightclub. From afar, they could see a luxurious five-story building, its exterior enveloped in a dazzling array of colorful neon lights, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Judging from its exterior alone, its level of luxury was comparable to a five-star hotel.

" A row of spacious parking lots stood at the entrance, with a team of security guards patrolling back and forth. The cars inside could practically be a car show, with luxury sedans from both domestic and international brands. In comparison, Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan's cars were only considered mid-range.

The two parked their cars and, accompanied by three bodyguards, stepped into the nightclub. As soon as they reached the lobby on the first floor, a neatly dressed, impeccably dressed male waiter quickly approached, bowed respectfully to Fan Qixuan, and said humbly, "Young Master Fan, hello! Welcome!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled to himself, "Looks like Fan Qixuan is a regular here!"

A bodyguard behind Fan Qixuan opened a briefcase he was carrying, took out a wad of cash—five thousand yuan—and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter counted it, then ran to the cashier, followed by five brightly colored tickets, which he then handed to the bodyguard.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "A thousand yuan for a ticket? This place is really expensive!"

Just

then, the male waiter asked with a beaming smile, "Young Master Fan, what can I do for you?

" Fan Qixuan pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Is today Miss Hua Meiyu's solo concert?"

The male waiter immediately nodded affirmatively, "Yes! It's about to start."

Fan Qixuan's eyes lit up, and he said seriously, "Take us there! Find us a good spot!" He then turned to look at the bodyguard behind him who was in charge of the money. The bodyguard understood, pulled out a thousand yuan from the briefcase, and handed it over.

"Thank you!" The male waiter smiled slightly, put the money in his pocket, and then led Fan Qixuan, Lin Yupeng, and the other three upstairs.

The surrounding staircases were entirely carved from white marble, the walls were gilded, and the steps were covered with soft, red carpets.

Reaching the second floor, one finds a large, luxurious ballroom. In the center stands a meter-high stage, illuminated by a Broadway-style chandelier and wall lights, making it brightly lit. Beside the stage, two smaller dance floors are dimly lit, where several couples, arm in arm, sway and twist gracefully to the music.

Scattered in front of the stage are numerous platforms of various shapes—square, rectangular, circular, triangular—alongside various leather sofas, where guests can sit, enjoy the music, and flirt with the dancers.

Led by the male waiter, Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan arrived at a rectangular platform closest to the stage. They sat on a long, inflatable leather sofa, their three bodyguards standing like javelins behind them. At that moment, a beautiful waitress gracefully approached. She wore a deep V-neck top, a silver-gray miniskirt, and a brass badge on her chest. Her full, firm breasts and fair, delicate legs were dazzling to the eyes of any man.

The male waiter whispered a few words to the waitress and then left the dance hall. The waitress greeted them with a sweet smile, respectfully saying to Fan Qixuan, "Young Master Fan, what would you like to order?"

Fan Qixuan smiled faintly and casually replied, "Whatever you have here, bring it all up. Fill the tables in front!"

"Okay, please wait a moment!" The beautiful waitress smiled sweetly, revealing a pair of adorable dimples, and turned to leave gracefully. A short while later, five or six elegantly dressed waitresses brought out fruit platters, desserts, side dishes, and various wines and drinks, filling the table.

Lin Yupeng whispered to Fan Qixuan, "Brother Qixuan, aren't we ordering too much? We can't possibly eat all this!"

Fan Qixuan smiled faintly and said, "Brother Lin, you don't understand the rules here! Besides the entrance fee, the minimum charge at Shuiyuntian is ten thousand yuan. This food is just over five thousand, still short by half. Let's buy flowers with the rest!" Lin Yupeng stared

at the very ordinary food on the table. The quality of the dishes was good, but the portions were small; the five-inch plates only had a little food in the center. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Is this junk worth five thousand?" No wonder Fan Qixuan said money is practically worthless here. I've seen it for myself; it's much more expensive than the entertainment venues I've been to in Tianhan City. Yanjing truly lives up to its reputation as an international metropolis!

(Chapter 713: Hua Meiyu

) Fan

Qixuan seemed to be a frequent visitor; the waitresses were familiar with him and very respectful. The waitress asked sweetly, "Young Master Fan, would you and this gentleman like a lady?" The question was rather direct and explicit, but the waitress said it as casually as if she were ordering food.

Fan Qixuan smiled and shook his head, his eyes flashing as he stared at the empty stage in front of him. He said seriously, "We've come to see Miss Hua Meiyu. When will she be performing?"

The waitress understood Fan Qixuan's purpose and immediately smiled sweetly, "Miss Hua won't be performing for another ten minutes!"

Fan Qixuan nodded, waved his hand at her, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, you can leave now. We'll call you if we need anything!" "

Yes, sir, please enjoy your meal!" The waitress smiled sweetly, accepted the 500 yuan tip from Fan Qixuan's bodyguard, and gracefully withdrew.

Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed as he scanned the area around the dance hall. He noticed many people, like himself and Fan Qixuan, sitting on the sofas behind the stage, their eyes darting left and right, never leaving the area. The men and women dancing on the dance floors were a minority.

"Brother Qixuan, is that Hua Meiyu you mentioned a singer? Why is she holding a concert here?" Lin Yupeng turned to Fan Qixuan, voicing the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Fan Qixuan smiled calmly, his handsome eyes sparkling with gentle light, and replied seriously, "Brother Lin, Hua Meiyu isn't a singer, but she's better than one. She's the top star of this Shuiyuntian dance hall, its pillar! She's only twenty-two years old, yet she's already famous throughout Yanjing!" "Look around at all those men dressed like gentlemen, young and old alike, they're all here for Hua Meiyu, hoping to catch a glimpse of her beauty and hear her voice. If they're lucky enough to exchange a few words with her, they'd feel incredibly honored!"

Lin Yupeng paused, then chuckled dryly, "Brother Qixuan, is Hua Meiyu really that captivating?" He prided himself on having seen countless beauties and possessed a certain immunity to them.

Fan Qixuan said seriously, "Brother Lin, you'll see for yourself in a moment! And another thing, this Hua Meiyu sells her art, not her body! She's still a virgin. Countless political figures, business tycoons, and wealthy young men have offered exorbitant prices to buy her virginity, only to return empty-handed. 'Shuiyuntian' relies entirely on her as a cash cow to attract customers, thus inadvertently elevating her status. But Hua Meiyu herself has high standards, remaining unmoved by the numerous flattering men!" The more this happened, the more it piqued the interest of her suitors. Despite repeated rejections, they remained persistent and undeterred! In Yanjing City, a saying circulated: whoever could win Hua Meiyu's heart would be a true Casanova, the most glamorous man in the city—an unparalleled honor! Unfortunately, no one had succeeded yet, not even having the chance to invite her for a drink or a dance. They could only watch from below the stage as the beauty sang and danced gracefully!

Lin Yupeng, hearing this, smiled and stared at Fan Qixuan, chuckling dryly as he asked, "So, Brother Qixuan, are you also interested in becoming Hua Meiyu's lover?"

He added a slightly literary phrase, making Fan Qixuan laugh heartily. Fan Qixuan whispered, "I don't have that kind of ability. I just come here occasionally to listen to her songs and watch her dance—it's a way to relax! You know, she's not only beautiful, but her singing and dancing skills are also top-notch, absolutely no less than any of the top stars in the country!" "You'll see for yourself when she comes out!"

Lin Yupeng, hearing Fan Qixuan describe Hua Meiyu as so beautiful and charming, like a fairy descended from heaven, and possessing both beauty and talent, was filled with curiosity and eager to see her. However, there were still a few minutes before Hua Meiyu's performance, so he had no choice but to wait patiently.

"Brother Qixuan, are all the girls in Shuiyuntian like Hua Meiyu, selling their art but not their bodies?" Lin Yupeng glanced at the scantily clad girls in the dance hall and asked in a deep voice.

Fan Qixuan chuckled and whispered, "Of course not! The girls here are divided into three categories. The first category is like Hua Meiyu, selling their art but not their bodies. There are about five or six of these girls at the moment. The second category is those who generally don't go out. To put it bluntly, you can flirt and be intimate, but you can't sleep with them. The third category is those who can go out. As long as they leave Shuiyuntian, they can do whatever they want. Actually, the second and third categories are essentially the same. The second category girls are of a higher standard, but as long as you pay enough, they can go out."

Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and said, "This place really has a lot of rules!" Just

then, a corner of the curtain behind the stage opened, and a young girl in a light red floral dress emerged. She appeared to be around twenty years old, with an oval face and delicate features—the kind of beauty that grows on you. Her chestnut-colored, shoulder-length hair was neatly styled, reflecting a soft sheen in the bright light. Her proportions were well-balanced; she was tall and slender yet full-figured, with particularly beautiful curves in her back and hips.

Although this girl was also very pretty, she was quite different from Fan Qixuan's image of Hua Meiyu. Lin Yupeng couldn't help but turn to look at him, asking with a puzzled expression, "Brother Qixuan, is this Hua Meiyu?"

Fan Qixuan shook his head and laughed heartily, "Of course not! She's the host!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the beautiful host on the stage spoke loudly into the microphone: "Distinguished guests, Ms. Hua Meiyu's concert is about to begin! Today she will be performing a collection of nostalgic love songs, a total of ten songs. Let me announce the song titles—first, 'Night Fragrance'; second, 'Wipe Away Tears'; third, 'Lover'..."

Before the host could finish the announcement, applause erupted from the audience. The men who had come to see Hua Meiyu were already impatient, their eyes filled with anticipation, their hands clapping loudly, instantly creating a lively atmosphere. Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly: "Hua Meiyu hasn't even come out yet, and these guys are already clapping? That's too enthusiastic! Is it really that much effort?"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with amusement as he looked around. The dance hall was already full of people. The dancers in the pool stopped dancing, each finding a spot to wait and see Hua Meiyu. Some who arrived late even had to stand. After

the beautiful host announced the program, she smiled sweetly at the audience, then turned and gracefully retreated. Immediately afterward, the curtain parted completely, and the leading lady, Ms. Hua Meiyu, whom countless people had been eagerly anticipating that night, made her elegant entrance! As soon as Hua Meiyu appeared on stage, the infatuated men in the audience erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and cheers. The atmosphere in the large dance hall instantly reached its peak, like a pot of boiling water. Her breathtaking beauty and noble, elegant demeanor truly deserved the applause and cheers. Lin Yupeng couldn't help but stare in admiration, secretly exclaiming, "Fan Qixuan was right! This woman is even more beautiful and charming than I imagined!"

Hua Meiyu possessed a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in the world, truly captivating and enchanting. Her skin was fair, delicate, and smooth, radiating a vibrant and alluring glow. Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, with a slim waist and rounded hips, exuding captivating charm. She embodied all the beauty a woman could desire.

She wore a light blue, shimmering, form-fitting dress, her large, full breasts almost spilling out, their beautiful, sensual curves making every man who saw her yearn to touch them. The feeling must have been incredibly wonderful, but for them, it was merely a fantasy; actually touching her was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Looking down, she wore a short, golden silk skirt, the hem of which was above her knees, with one side slit reaching her upper thigh. Her already alluring legs were encased in sheer, translucent flesh-colored stockings, so thin that the fine veins on her thighs were clearly visible. Under the light, her beautiful legs, which had captivated countless men, appeared translucent and shimmered with a soft glow, inspiring a desire to touch them—a desire that must have been incredibly smooth and intoxicating. Of course, such thoughts were essentially wishful thinking.

From Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan's angle, they could see Hua Meiyu's profile, her captivating curves on full display. Lin Yupeng's eyes widened in admiration. Looking further down, he saw she wore white open-toe high-heeled sandals, the delicate straps tracing beautiful curves on the heels. On these sandals rested exquisitely beautiful feet: white toes, slender soles, pink heels, a high arch, and delicate ankles forming an incredibly graceful arc. Every part of her was beautiful; she

was like an angel fallen to earth. Hua Meiyu's clear, bright eyes, like autumn water and sparkling jewels, cast a gentle, alluring glance across the audience. Her every movement made everyone feel as if she were looking at them, causing their hearts to flutter and their gazes to become mesmerized.

"Thank you all for coming to my concert!" Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly on stage. Her voice was soft and melodious, like heavenly music, sweet but not cloying, like a clear spring nourishing the heart. With such a beautiful voice, one could imagine how wonderful her singing would be.

Lin Yupeng was now eager to hear her sing. He turned to look at the men around him, all of whom showed strong anticipation. Some of them were even more pathetic, staring blankly without blinking, drooling, looking like they had suffered a stroke, making a complete fool of themselves.

On stage, Hua Meiyu parted her lips slightly and began to sing. The first song she sang was "Night-Blooming Jasmine": "The south wind blows cool, the nightingales sing in unison, the flowers under the moon are all dreaming, only the night-blooming jasmine exudes fragrance..."

As soon as her heavenly voice rang out, the hall fell silent. Everyone listened intently, afraid of missing a single note. Her voice was clear and melodious, like pearls rolling on a jade plate. It was indescribably beautiful and pleasant to the ear. It felt as if one's internal organs had been caressed by a lover's hand, and every part of one's body felt comfortable and relaxed, as if one had eaten a divine fruit. It truly felt like "the lingering sound of the music never ends."

What was even more mesmerizing was that she sang and danced gracefully to the beautiful melody. Her dance was as beautiful and moving as her singing; her hands trembled like plucking flowers, and her body moved as lightly as the wind. It was truly "graceful and ethereal, her movements like flying wind, her elegant sleeves like jade."

Everyone present was captivated by Hua Meiyu's singing and dancing, their hearts swaying, as if floating on clouds, completely unaware of where they were.

Lin Yupeng's position allowed him to see her side profile, and at a close distance, he could see that Hua Meiyu's skirt, slit up to her thighs, swayed with her graceful dance. Under the bright and dazzling stage lights, he could clearly see the white thong with bows clinging to the sides of her thighs. The surrounding skin was white and smooth, like solidified jade. Her round, upturned buttocks, tightly encased in the thong, added a mysterious beauty, making everyone even more infatuated.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "No wonder Fan Qixuan asked the waiter to find him a good seat and even gave him a generous tip. It seems the money was well spent; being able to see such beautiful women up close, even the slightest wardrobe malfunction, is crystal clear!"

Although the women were stunning and their voices melodious, Lin Yupeng was only captivated for a moment before his mind cleared

. His purpose in coming here wasn't to see the women; this was a gathering place for high society. He wanted to gather information that would be beneficial to him, and perhaps even make some useful connections. Therefore, his eyes began to dart around.

Because almost everyone's attention was focused on the stage, Lin Yupeng could carefully observe the people in the hall without worrying about attracting the attention of those he was observing. After a few glances, a cold smile appeared on Lin Yupeng's face. It turned out he recognized many of these people; they had all attended the celebration party held by the Tianqiong Group the day before yesterday. However, here, everyone was being cautious, pretending not to know each other. These people included bosses of large corporations and political figures.

The Vice Minister of Finance, Guan Jiyao, was standing behind a round table diagonally opposite in the ballroom. To avoid being recognized, the old man had taken necessary precautions, wearing an extravagant top hat pulled low, the shadow of which obscured his eyes. Four bodyguards stood to his left and right, each with a cold expression and a sharp, piercing gaze.

Lin Yupeng, with his keen eye, recognized Guan Jiyao based on his figure and the two slick, greedy eyes that shone from the shadow of the hat. He was always very good at judging people; he could remember anyone he met even once. Guan Jiyao was the highest-ranking official at that celebration party, and Lin Yupeng had a very deep impression of him.

Chapter 715 Beauty and Fragrant Flowers

Lin

Yupeng couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "This old lecher, he has a beautiful woman at home, yet he still comes to this kind of brothel to fool around? Sigh, no wonder, greed knows no bounds! Could this old guy also be lusting after Hua Meiyu's beauty? Hehe, that's truly a toad lusting after a swan! And a toad at that!"

Then, thinking again, he sneered, "You can't say that, Guan Jiyao is the Vice Minister of Finance, a real money god. These days, even rich tortoises are three generations older!"

After Hua Meiyu finished singing on stage, someone immediately presented her with flowers. The person presenting the flowers had bought them beforehand, written their name on them, and then had a waiter present them on their behalf.

Lin Yupeng's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. He noticed many people were buying flowers from the waiters. Those who frequented "Shuiyuntian" were no ordinary people; they were all powerful, wealthy, and influential. To curry favor with Hua Meiyu, these people were never stingy with their money, spending it like water flowing.

Soon, Hua Meiyu's hands were full of flowers, mostly roses, lilies, and tulips—symbols of beautiful love. Whenever someone bought flowers, a waiter would loudly call out the name of the person offering the flowers, the number of bouquets, and a short blessing, leaving an impression on Hua Meiyu. Because she received so many flowers, she rarely looked at the names on the labels.

Fan Qixuan beckoned a waiter over and said seriously, "Mr. Lin Yupeng and I will present Miss Hua Meiyu with fifty violets, wishing her eternal youth!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fan and Mr. Lin!" The waitress smiled sweetly, took five thousand yuan from the bodyguard behind Fan Qixuan, and gracefully left.

Lin Yupeng observed this and secretly calculated in his mind that the cost of a single violet was only a few yuan, yet it was being sold for one hundred yuan here—the price was outrageously high, practically burning money! But some people seemed to enjoy it immensely, competing with each other!

A short while later, the waitress gracefully walked onto the stage with a small package of violets, pointed at Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan with one hand, and announced loudly, "Mr. Fan Qixuan and Mr. Lin Yupeng together present fifty violets to Miss Hua Meiyu, wishing her eternal youth!"

It's rare to see two grown men receiving flowers from Hua Meiyu together, and violets are also uncommon as gifts, since their symbolism isn't strongly associated with love; they merely express a beautiful blessing, which many feel is insufficient to truly convey their admiration.

Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, accepting the bouquet of violets. Her dreamlike, captivating eyes shimmered with a gentle, alluring light as she glanced at Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan. The

moment Lin Yupeng's gaze met hers, he felt a tremor in his heart, a jolt of happiness washing over him, leaving him feeling lightheaded, refreshed, and intoxicated… But in an instant, Hua Meiyu's gaze shifted elsewhere. The flower ceremony concluded, and she began singing her second song, handing the flowers to the waiter to be taken away.

At this moment, Lin Yupeng suddenly had a thought and thought to himself, "Actually, these flowers can be recycled. That is, the flowers that Hua Meiyu receives can be taken backstage, unwrapped, and sold to new owners. In short, they are all for her. She can easily collect hundreds of thousands or even millions of flowers by singing all night. 'Shui Yun Tian' is making a fortune every day!"

After each song, Hua Meiyu has a five-minute break to collect flowers. After the fifth song, she stops collecting flowers and goes backstage to rest for ten minutes before continuing with the second half of the concert. When she finishes the last song, she has ten minutes to collect flowers. Moreover, the people who gave her flowers can ask her to come down and have a drink with them or dance on the dance floor next door. Of course, the success rate of such invitations is almost zero. Generally, Hua Meiyu collects the flowers, stands on the stage for everyone to watch for ten minutes, and then takes her bow and goes back to rest.

After Hua Meiyu finished singing her last song, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, bringing the joyous atmosphere to its peak. Many people presented flowers, and a waitress carrying a large bouquet of purple tulips—at least a hundred—hurriedly walked onto the stage. Pointing to a square booth on the right side of the front row, she announced loudly, "Mr. Pei Zhenghao presents Ms. Hua Meiyu with one hundred purple tulips to express his boundless love for her and to invite her to dance!"

Lin Yupeng looked in the direction the waitress was pointing and saw that the flower presenter, Pei Zhenghao, appeared to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, looking only slightly older than himself. He was tall and imposing, with strikingly handsome features. His square face was sculpted with distinct features, and he had thick, jet-black hair. Beneath his arched eyebrows were a pair of long, narrow, captivating eyes, full of alluring charm that could easily make a woman fall for him. His high, straight nose and full lips were now radiating a passionate smile. He appeared dashing and unrestrained, but the sharp, piercing glint in his eyes told a different story. He possessed all the characteristics of an outstanding man, and he was incredibly alluring to both naive young girls and mature, sexy women.

Of course, this allure was ineffective on Hua Meiyu, because she didn't accept his invitation to dance. She simply gave him a sweet smile, a polite but mesmerizing smile, as noble and elegant as a peony, as ethereal as a lily, and as charming and shy as a crabapple. Instantly, the flowers in her hands paled in comparison.

Surrounded by eight bodyguards on his left, right, and behind, Pei Zhenghao was flanked by a retinue of stars, each tall and imposing, with sharp tongues and cold expressions. They treated him with utmost respect, making him appear incredibly imposing, like royalty.

"Heh, Pei Zhenghao really knows how to spend money. Purple tulips are the most expensive flowers here, two hundred yuan a flower!" Fan Qixuan muttered, his eyes gleaming.

Lin Yupeng turned to Fan Qixuan beside him and asked in a deep voice. He had noticed Pei Zhenghao long ago, as he always sent ten to fifty bouquets of flowers after each song, and after the concert, he sent a hundred. A rough calculation showed the cost exceeded fifty thousand yuan.

He thought to himself, "Is he some rich young master again? These guys are really bored, spending their money on women."

"What does this Pei Zhenghao do?" Lin Yupeng asked in a deep voice.

Chapter

716 Weiye Group

Fan Qixuan replied casually, “Pei Zhenghao is the president of Weiye Group. He’s been pursuing Hua Meiyu for a while now, but like everyone else, he’s always failed to make any progress. However, this guy is persistent, always offering so many flowers, seemingly determined to win her heart. He has the spirit of water dripping on stone, haha!”

Lin Yupeng chuckled. He wasn’t concerned with how Pei Zhenghao pursued her, only with his background. So he asked in a deep voice, “Weiye Group? How strong is it? It sounds familiar!” Fan Qixuan

laughed heartily, “Weiye Group deals in electronic products. It’s a high-tech enterprise, enjoying national tax benefits. It’s very strong, comparable to our Lant Group, and ranks ahead of Lant Group in the Fortune Global 500.” Lin

Yupeng thought to himself, “No wonder.” "So extravagant! Spending money like water! So he has the capital to burn through cash! Weiye Group, I remember now, it was one of the first Chinese companies to enter the Fortune Global 500. In terms of seniority, it should be more established than Lant Group. As for my Tianqiong Group, compared to them, it's probably insignificant. But I'm confident I can surpass it. The name sounds quite imposing, but Weiye? What I'll be doing in the future is the real Weiye!"

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on Pei Zhenghao again. Seeing the smug look on his face, probably because Hua Meiyu smiled at him earlier, it was as if she had given him a bewitching potion.

Lin Yupeng's sharp, cold eyes flashed like a rainbow as he stared intently at Pei Zhenghao. He then asked Fan Qixuan, "How old is Pei Zhenghao this year?"

Fan Qixuan replied seriously, "Twenty-five years old, probably a year older than you!"

Lin Yupeng glanced at the smug Pei Zhenghao and asked in a low voice, "So young and already a president? Is it a family business?" "

Fan Qixuan laughed heartily, "Of course! His father, Pei Rongzhe, is the chairman of Weiye Group. Weiye Group, which he founded, is a force to be reckoned with in Yanjing City!

" Lin Yupeng sneered, "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" Just then, Miss Hua Meiyu, carrying a large bouquet of flowers, bowed deeply to the guests below the stage and gracefully exited. Immediately afterward, several stunningly beautiful women appeared on stage, singing and dancing, but many people had little interest in these women and left, either going home or to other places in Shuiyuntian to enjoy themselves.

Pei Zhenghao, the president of Weiye Group, also stood up, intending to leave. As he passed the rectangular table where Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan were sitting, he immediately stopped, his sharp, cold eyes flashing suddenly. He walked up to Fan Qixuan and laughed heartily, "Isn't this Young Master Fan? What a refined mood you're in today!"

Fan Qixuan quickly stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "President Pei, aren't you in the same refined mood as me?"

"Haha!" Pei Zhenghao laughed heartily, his sharp eyes quickly landing on Lin Yupeng, who was still sitting on the sofa. He couldn't help but ask Fan Qixuan, "And this friend is?"

Fan Qixuan hurriedly introduced Pei Zhenghao, "This is Mr. Lin Yupeng, Vice President of Tianqiong Group!" Then he pointed to Pei Zhenghao and smiled at Lin Yupeng, "This is Mr. Pei Zhenghao, President of Weiye Group!" Although he didn't have a very good impression of the arrogant Pei Zhenghao, out of politeness, Lin Yupeng still stood up, extended his right hand in a friendly manner, and smiled, "Hello, President Pei

, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

A cold glint flashed in Pei Zhenghao's eyes, a hint of resentment mixed in. Though it was fleeting, Lin Yupeng, with his sharp eyes, caught it clearly. Pei Zhenghao, however, appeared just as enthusiastic, smiling broadly at Lin Yupeng, shaking his hand, and nodding, saying, "Hello, Mr. Lin! Haha, I've heard so much about you, it's a shame we haven't met sooner! You're welcome to visit my Weiye Group sometime!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed coldly, but he smiled and said, "Definitely!" After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Pei Zhenghao and his group of security guards hurriedly left the Shuiyuntian Dance Hall.

Lin Yupeng sat back down, the hostility in Pei Zhenghao's eyes flashing through his mind. He thought to himself, "I've never met him before, and Tianqiong Group and Weiye Group have never had any conflicts. Why did he look at me like that? Did he see me as a rival for Hua Meiyu? Impossible. Why didn't he look at Fan Qixuan like that? Does he see my Tianqiong Group as a business competitor? That doesn't seem likely either. Tianqiong Group and Weiye Group have completely different development directions and are not on the same level. In other words, Tianqiong Group is not qualified to be his competitor!"

He was full of questions and could only ask himself... Helping Fan Qixuan beside him, hoping to get some information, Fan Qixuan was in a good mood and very talkative. When Lin Yupeng asked about Pei Zhenghao's personal situation, he spoke freely, saying whatever came to mind: "Pei Zhenghao is known as one of the 'Three Young Masters of Beijing' here! He's successful in his career, and incredibly charming. Women pursue him like tidal waves, and many women consider it an honor to sleep with him."

Lin Yupeng coldly retorted, "Pah! Those women are really shameless!"

Fan Qixuan laughed heartily, "You can't say that. As long as you can get involved with him, even as his mistress without any official status, you'll have more money than you can spend! If you're lucky enough to get pregnant with his child, then the rest of your life will be one of wealth and luxury! Those lazy women who always want to get something for nothing and marry into a wealthy family are pursuing him like crazy, even some movie stars are eager to sell themselves to Pei Zhenghao!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he sneered, "Heh, what can you do? It's a commodity society now! Materialism is rampant; everything is a commodity!" He didn't say the last part—including human life! Fan

Qixuan chuckled and said, "Brother Lin, your statement is a bit too arbitrary. I still believe that true feelings exist in the world."

Lin Yupeng wasn't discussing love with him, so he continued to steer the conversation towards Pei Zhenghao, asking in a deep voice, "Brother Qixuan, besides Pei Zhenghao, do you know anyone else in the Pei family?"

Fan Qixuan didn't answer but asked in return, "Brother Lin is very interested in the Pei family? Do you perhaps want to befriend Pei Zhenghao? Then you should be careful. The Pei family members are all very arrogant and look down on outsiders. Even just now, when they greeted us, it was only out of politeness."

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he chuckled dryly, "I see. I just want to learn more about the Pei family. I haven't decided whether to contact them yet!" "

Chapter 717 The Three Young Masters

of the Capital"

Fan Qixuan chuckled and continued his eloquent speech: "I've met Pei Zhenghao's father once. He's in his fifties, very energetic, and has basically retired to the second line now. The group's affairs are mainly handled by Pei Zhenghao... By the way, Pei Zhenghao also has a cousin, you definitely know her, a top-tier female star in the country! But recently I heard she's not doing so well, embroiled in scandals, constantly making embarrassing mistakes, and her reputation has plummeted! Hehe, the entertainment industry is really unpredictable, too chaotic!"

"Oh? Who is his cousin?" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed suddenly, and he asked suspiciously

.

"Pei Yanhong! Haven't you seen her movies? She's been very popular these past two years!" Fan Qixuan replied seriously.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, two cold, sharp flashes of light crossing his eyes. The knot in his heart instantly untied. He thought to himself, "Pei Yanhong is a popular actress at Yuli Group. I recently ruined her reputation with her sex tape. So she's Pei Zhenghao's cousin! No wonder she's hostile towards me! Although the sex tape circulated online, the general public suspects it was my Xingguang Group that leaked it, because Yuli Group only has this one competitor in the province!"

Thinking this, he couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems I can't be friends with Pei Zhenghao anymore. We're not friends. " "They must be enemies, but I don't know what the political stance of the Weiye Group is."

He then asked Fan Qixuan in a deep voice, "The general election is about to begin next year. What is the Weiye Group's stance?"

Fan Qixuan replied seriously, "I can't say for sure. I heard that Pei Rongzhe has a close relationship with the current Deputy Premier and Minister of the Interior, Gao Yi, and Gao Yi is one of the presidential candidates of the Huaxia Party. So the Weiye Group is very likely supporting Gao Yi behind the scenes."

Lin Yupeng's heart trembled upon hearing this. He only knew that the candidate supported by Jin Tai was also from the Huaxia Party. Could it be Gao Yi? Would he then have to stand on the same side as the Weiye Group? He knew that Fan Qixuan's Lante Group and Tianqiong Group had a close relationship and were definitely supporting the same candidate behind the scenes. So he continued to ask Fan Qixuan, "Brother Qixuan, which candidate does your Lante Group support?"

Fan Qixuan laughed and said, "Brother Lin, it's not that I'm intentionally hiding anything. I really don't know much about this. I'm not very interested in politics. These things are all handled by my father in secret. But I can tell you one thing: our Lante Group will definitely not support Gao Yi!" "I'm not entirely sure why either..."

He spoke rather vaguely, but Lin Yupeng could tell that Fan Qixuan really didn't understand many things, so he didn't press him further. Remembering the "Three Young Masters of Beijing" he'd mentioned earlier, which he found quite interesting, he steered the conversation towards that: "Qixuan, besides Pei Zhenghao, the president of Weiye Group, who are the other two of these 'Three Young Masters of Beijing'?"

Fan Qixuan's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "The other one is Gao Ya, the son of Gao Yi, the Vice Premier and Minister of the Interior I mentioned earlier..."

He paused there ... He hesitated, glancing at his watch. It was past ten o'clock at night. He smiled at Lin Yupeng and said, "Brother Lin, it's getting late. Let's go back!"

Lin Yupeng nodded, stood up, and walked with Fan Qixuan, accompanied by bodyguards, towards the outside of Shuiyuntian. On the way, Lin Yupeng remembered that one of the "Three Young Masters" they had just discussed was missing. So he smiled and asked Fan Qixuan, "Qixuan, who is the last one among the Three Young Masters?"

Fan Qixuan looked slightly embarrassed and said shyly, "It's me!

" Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Brother Qixuan, what's there to be embarrassed about?

It's a compliment. 'Young Master' was a symbol of nobility in ancient times!"

Fan Qixuan said seriously, "I feel like it sounds a bit like 'playboy.' It's just a nickname made up by a bunch of bored playboys. Actually, I'm not as arrogant as Pei Zhenghao and Gao Ya!" The two left the "

Shuiyuntian" nightclub chatting and laughing. Lin Yupeng glanced back at the dazzling "Shuiyuntian" building and thought of Hua Meiyu, the beautiful and popular star who was famous throughout Beijing. He chuckled to himself, "This woman seems to have captivated many celebrities in the political and business circles. Is she really a femme fatale, determined to make the already chaotic and complicated Yanjing City even more chaotic?"

"Have you ever met the owner of Shuiyuntian?" Lin Yupeng asked in a deep voice.

“No, the boss of Shuiyuntian rarely shows his face unless something major happens. But even then, nothing bad can happen here. Everyone who comes here is a prominent figure; they have to consider their status, right? Besides, thugs from the streets wouldn't dare cause trouble here, because the security guards at Shuiyuntian are all ruthless characters who can take on ten or even a hundred men at once. Causing trouble here is tantamount to courting death!”

After Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan left Shuiyuntian, they said goodbye and went home.

Lin Yupeng returned to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Sky Dome Building, took a shower, and then went into the bedroom. Just as he was pondering whether he should ask Tian Xin to keep him company tonight, the phone in the bedroom rang.

“Who would call me so late?” Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, but still picked up the phone. He heard a mature woman's magnetic voice on the other end: “Mr. Lin, where are you?”

Lin Yupeng recognized the voice of the new HR director, Qiao Fenny, and hurriedly replied, "Oh, it's Sister Fenny! I'm in the presidential suite 5002! Is there something you need?" He had been with this woman several times, all in a mutually beneficial arrangement. Lin Yupeng didn't have much affection for her. Although she was also with Jin Tai, she always seemed too opportunistic. When she needed something, she would fawn over him and even offer herself, but when she didn't, she would disappear without a trace.

"Yes, is it convenient for you to see me now, Mr. Lin?" Qiao Fenny's voice was seductive and pleading. Lin Yupeng knew this woman would offer herself first before talking business; it was always like that.

"No problem, come on over!" Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly. Although he didn't like her character, he did like her skills in bed.

Qiao Fenny lived in a luxury suite on the 49th floor. After all, she was a level below the highest-ranking executives of the group, such as Jin Tai, Xu Weiguo, and Lin Yupeng. The Sky Dome Group had a very strict hierarchy, with different levels of leaders staying in different rooms and eating different set meals, clearly distinguishing between them.

Not long after, the door to the presidential suite opened, and Qiao Fenny's mature and sexy figure appeared in front of Lin Yupeng.
