"Ahem, ahem—Ma Qun, watch your tone!"
Seeing Gao Liming's expression darken, Lin Fan coughed lightly to interrupt.
"But Dragon King, isn't this little pangolin being a bit too distant!?"
Ma Qun was clearly unhappy and voiced his opinion.
Why is this happening?!!!
Why is this happening!!!
If the person you invited had helped me catch that damn Red Rose,
would I even need to beg this little brat?
Lin Fan patted Ma Qun on the shoulder and waved his hand grandly. "Ma, it's all about perspective, perspective! Even brothers don't settle accounts in public! We're doing pretty well here—this is what they call 'a gentleman's love for wealth, acquired through proper means.'"
Since the Dragon King had spoken,
what else could Ma Qun say?
Gao Liming nearly burst out laughing like a pig.
Perspective?!!!
Perspective my foot!
A master of empty promises!
A grandmaster of deception.
It's a shame you're not leading a pyramid scheme with your natural talent for this.
After calming Ma Qun down,
Lin Fan finally turned to Gao Liming.
"Xiao Gao, name your price. How much do you want?"
"If you don't want money, we can exchange it for something else."
A barking dog doesn't bite.
A biting dog doesn't bark.
Hiss!!!!!
Gao Liming felt as if Lin Fan might suddenly lunge and bite.
But what did that have to do with him?
If it came to that, he'd just prepare a dog-beating stick in advance.
If the dog bites, don't let it bite, or fight back!
Gao Liming didn't hold back because of Lin Fan's concessions.
Instead, he became even more demanding.
During the negotiation,
Lin Fan recalled an internet joke.
--------------------- What Gao Liming was asking for was even bigger than his mother-in-law's demands.
After hearing it,
Lin Fan and Ma Qun's faces turned as dark as could be.
Had they caught a fat sheep?
Lin Fan rubbed his temples and said gravely,
"Let me think about it some more."
He casually stopped the visibly agitated Ma Qun.
Neither of them was good with computers!!!
Without bringing in a professional,
they couldn't meet their own requirements.
Gao Liming smiled shyly, "I'll do as much as I'm paid for. My character is something you, Dragon King, have witnessed firsthand!"
Ma Qun took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"This is what you call professionalism, Dragon King!"
Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
And just at that moment,
the guests suddenly erupted in excitement.
The room buzzed with chatter!!!
"Holy crap, holy crap! The capital's environment really nurtures people. One of tonight's banquet stars, Zhang Naixi, is so... impressive. I like her a lot!"
"Damn! Holy ****!!! Does our city have any beauties who can rival her?"
"Yes, yes! If you're not blind, take a look at the Xu family's little princess over there. She can hold her own, right?"
"One's a mature version, the other's a loli version. Love it, love it!!!!! Hehe (¯﹃¯) If I could have them both serve me, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life!"
"Hahaha—you're too stingy! You're as stingy in business as you are in life. I'll put it bluntly—thirty years of my life! Plus, I'll never touch another woman again."
"Is this really appropriate? What if the people involved hear you?"
"Come on, we're speaking quietly, okay?"
The banquet attendees included many second-generation rich kids who were there thanks to their parents.
Among these rich kids, there were also hierarchies.
Many were just idlers, lacking ambition or skills.
Like the ones gossiping above.
At the entrance,
a stunningly beautiful mature woman walked in.
Her assets were enough to overshadow most women!
Her eye-catching hourglass figure,
paired with those flawlessly straight and long legs,
was enough to ignite any man's hormones.
She was the granddaughter of the banquet's host—Zhang Naixi.
In stark contrast to her envy-inducing figure was her face, which always carried a bold and heroic aura.
Most people's first impression of Zhang Naixi was:
So cool!!!!!
An angel's face with the demeanor of a female general.
A contradiction, yet somehow harmonious.
Accompanying Zhang Naixi were Xu Shi and An Youyi.
Xu Shi had been arranged by her parents.
And she had her own agenda.
She wanted to pull Zhang Naixi into her camp.
After all, she already knew that this cousin was also a female lead in this story.
Her rebirth hadn't been in vain.
If she couldn't do it openly,
she'd resort to underhanded tactics.
It was still better than her previous life, where she couldn't even get a sip of the soup, right?
All her friends and family were here.
As for An Youyi,
she had been kept around entirely by Xu Shi's own decision.
Xu Shi had discovered something shocking.
Her dear An Jie
had been sneaking around behind her back,
doing inappropriate things with her crush—her "brother."
This infuriated the big loli.
She had worked tirelessly, setting up countless schemes.
On one hand, she weakened the Dragon King Hall's influence.
On the other, she recruited allies,
preparing to deliver a heavy blow to the Dragon King Hall overseas.
Now, with Li Jiaxin and An Youyi joining as insiders,
launching a sneak attack would be a breeze.
But these female leads?
They just sat back and reaped the rewards.
Enjoying the fruits of her labor.
They didn't even take her seriously!!!!!
Alright, alright, good night, folks~~~~
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
