Chapter 94: The Best Friend’s Devious Plot
“Of course it wasn’t you. Could it have been?” Liu Xuancheng gave Lin Feng a disdainful once-over and sneered, “From the way you’re dressed, you must be President Su’s driver. Just a lowly driver, and you still dare be so cocky here?”
“Qingxue, honestly, why don’t you rein in your driver? He’s already hurt Young Master Liu.” Lin Yao also shot Su Qingxue a hostile glance, then turned back to Liu Xuancheng with obvious concern, taking his hand. “Young Master Liu, are you all right?”
“Relax. He doesn’t have the guts to hurt me.” Liu Xuancheng adjusted his clothes unhappily and sat back down.
Only then did Su Qingxue explain, “Yao Yao, Young Master Liu, this isn’t my driver. He’s actually my good friend. His name is Lin Feng.”
“What? A good friend?” Lin Yao’s eyes widened as she laughed in disbelief. “Qingxue, are you kidding me? This guy looks so coarse and shabby at a glance—he’s obviously a loser. You’re the president of Su Bank, after all. How could you possibly be friends with someone like that?”
“Yao Yao, actually Lin Feng he—”
“All right, Qingxue. You don’t need to explain for me. Let’s order.” Lin Feng stopped Su Qingxue on his own initiative, turned to call the waiter, and began ordering dishes.
He had no interest in squabbling with someone like Lin Yao. He only wanted to see how shameless this man and woman could possibly be.
After the waiter came in, Su Qingxue politely said, “Yao Yao, Young Master Liu, you helped me this time. Order whatever you like here. I’ll pay. Don’t be polite.”
“Great, great.” Lin Yao nodded with obvious delight. Taking the menu, she began choosing the most expensive dishes.
In truth, Lin Yao’s family was not that well off. Back in college, she had happened to share a dormitory with Su Qingxue, and the two had gotten along quite well, helping each other many times.
Today, Su Qingxue had vented on her social feed, and Lin Yao happened to see it. She called Su Qingxue and took the initiative to offer help.
She had never imagined that one phone call from her would directly solve Su Qingxue’s huge problem.
“I’m done. Young Master Liu, do you have anything else to add?” After finishing her expensive selections, Lin Yao handed the menu to Liu Xuancheng beside her.
Liu Xuancheng didn’t bother looking at it. His eyes remained fixed on Su Qingxue as he smiled and said, “Nothing else. You decide.”
“I came here today only to make friends with President Su.”
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone with a grin. “President Su, may I have your contact information? It’ll be easier to keep in touch later.”
“This... all right.” Su Qingxue agreed reluctantly.
Once Liu Xuancheng got what he wanted, he was overjoyed.
A moment later, he looked at Lin Feng, who was sitting beside Su Qingxue, and found him increasingly irritating. Suddenly he said, “President Su, what exactly does your friend do?”
“You’re able to be friends with him, so he must have some special qualities,” he added.
“He’s a doctor,” Su Qingxue introduced softly.
“A doctor?” Liu Xuancheng burst into laughter, slapping the table. “I thought this kid was some remarkable figure. After all that talk, he’s just a doctor.”
“From the way he’s dressed, he probably only just entered the profession. I wonder which hospital he works at? Maybe I can help him out and get him promoted a little faster.”
“I don’t work in a hospital. Wherever I’m needed, I go,” Lin Feng replied dismissively.
“Oh? Ha! So you’re a backwoods doctor. No wonder you’ve got such a backwoods air about you.” Liu Xuancheng kept mocking him, then asked again, “At the very least, you must have graduated from some famous medical school, right? Go on, tell us.”
“I only graduated from an ordinary university. I didn’t attend a medical school,” Lin Feng said flatly.
Pfft!
Liu Xuancheng nearly laughed himself over.
He couldn’t help slapping the table again as he said to Su Qingxue, “President Su, what kind of taste do you have? This guy is a complete nobody with no background, no pedigree, and no credentials, and you’re still willing to be friends with him.”
“Then may I ask, Young Master Liu, what exactly do you do?” Su Qingxue could no longer stand it and asked coldly.
She would never allow anyone to bully Lin Feng like this!
“I?” Liu Xuancheng said proudly. “Of course I help out at my family’s company. In the future, the entire Liu family business will be mine to inherit.”
“Oh, and my father is also a friend of Chief Shen. This time, I was able to use my father’s connections to contact Bank President Shen’s father, and that’s how I helped you.”
Liu Xuancheng spoke with great confidence, though inwardly he was somewhat uneasy.
From what he knew of his father, the man should not have been able to handle things this quickly. He had only just called his father, and yet President Su’s trouble had already been resolved?
Still, he was too lazy to think about it. Right now, his only goal was to use Lin Yao as a bridge and sleep with Su Qingxue.
Before coming, he had heard that Su Qingxue was the most beautiful woman in River City, but he had never seen her for himself. It was only the moment he laid eyes on her that his heart was completely captured.
“So that’s it. Then you don’t have a fixed job either, do you? Apart from having a different father from Lin Feng, you’re not really any better than him!” Su Qingxue rolled her beautiful eyes and deliberately joked.
At once, Liu Xuancheng’s expression darkened.
What right did a nobody have to be compared with him?
Just as he was about to speak and mock Lin Feng again, a waiter suddenly walked in from outside and asked with a smile, “May I ask which one of you is Mr. Lin Feng?”
“I am.” Lin Feng answered first.
“Hello, Mr. Lin,” the waiter said very politely. “A gentleman just called and said that everything you order here today is on him. Please order whatever you like and don’t stand on ceremony.”
“Who was it?” Lin Feng asked immediately.
“He said his name was Shen Wansan.”
The waiter continued with a smile, “Mr. Shen also said that he’ll come by personally in a moment to pay you a visit and drink a toast with you.”
“So it was him. I see. You may leave.” Lin Feng immediately understood.
After the waiter left, everyone in the room was stunned.
Even Su Qingxue had no idea that Lin Feng had any connection to Shen Wansan, and that Shen Wansan would be so courteous to him.
“Hah, I never would’ve thought you actually hired an actor to come and play along with you. This desperate need to save face is really awkward.” Liu Xuancheng couldn’t help but sneer. “You didn’t think that my father and Chief Shen were good friends, did you?”
“I’m afraid this time your precious face is going to be rubbed hard into the ground by me.”
“Is that so? Who gets rubbed into the ground may not be decided yet,” Lin Feng said with a cold laugh, thinking that Shen Wansan had arrived at just the right time.
Liu Xuancheng glanced at him with utter disdain and went on, “Then let’s wait and see. I’d like to see how you keep acting in front of me in a moment.”
“Lin Feng, do you really know Bank President Shen’s father?” Su Qingxue also knew who Shen Wansan was. He was a renowned figure in the provincial capital, someone no one dared to provoke.
How could Lin Feng possibly know such an impressive man?
