"Thank you for the compliment!"

"It's still pretty good now, it's too seductive at night!"

Chi Linyue couldn't help but chimed in.

Xu Lin smiled without speaking, thinking to himself, aren't you the same?

But sometimes women are just reserved, or rather, they say one thing and mean another. You have to give them a way out and can't just say you also love beauty.

The two chatted while the car headed to its destination.

This time Chi Linyue was discussing a business matter about investing in a company.

The location for the business meeting was arranged at a high-end hotel.

Generally speaking, business discussions are held in company meeting rooms, hotels, or high-end tea houses.

At ten in the morning, Xu Lin and the others arrived at their destination, a high-end hotel in Jiangdu.

Xu Lin parked the car and followed Chi Linyue.

"Why don't you button up, aren't you cold?"

Chi Linyue turned around and noticed Xu Lin's suit jacket didn't have its buttons fastened.

Xu Lin: "Don't you think it looks a little more stylish this way?"

"Tch!"

Chi Linyue reached out and grabbed Xu Lin's clothing, "It's too thin!"

Xu Lin shrugged, "Really not cold, don't worry."

Chi Linyue stared at Xu Lin for a moment and realized Xu Lin showed no signs of being cold.

In winter, even in occasions that require a suit, people generally wear sweaters underneath for warmth, otherwise, the suit's thickness simply can't hold up.

"Forget it, it won't be cold once we're inside."

The inside of the hotel was quite warm, with heating.

Chi Linyue put on black silk gloves.

Today she was wearing a long dress, thermal tights, white high heels, and a black trench coat as an outer layer.

Overall, she looked pretty dashing.

Xu Lin and the others went upstairs, arriving outside a private room on the sixth floor.

At the entrance, there stood a young man.

"President Chi, this way please!"

The young man spotted Chi Linyue and hurriedly came to welcome her.

Chi Linyue didn't say much, maintaining a rather indifferent demeanor.

Inside the private room, there were already two men and a woman, one man looked in his forties, while the other man and woman appeared in their early thirties.

Xu Lin glanced around and knew the spokesperson here would be the man who looked around forty.

The essence of how the world operates is the rule of middle-aged men, the same in both the East and the West.

"President Chi, a pleasure to meet you, I've often heard of your exceptional beauty, and today I've finally experienced it for myself!"

Upon seeing Chi Linyue enter, the man in his forties rose with a smile, followed by the other two standing up.

He extended his hand, and Chi Linyue extended hers for a brief handshake.

"You're too kind."

Chi Linyue smiled lightly.

The man's name was Li Chengkong.

In Jiangdu, Chi Linyue was quite famous, with the investment circle calling her the most beautiful woman in Jiangdu, and upon meeting her, indeed a stunning beauty.

However, Li Chengkong immediately noticed Xu Lin.

He stood there, unmoving like a dragon appearing before you, which shook Li Chengkong's heart. Having lived half a life, he'd never encountered such a character, nor knew what prominent figure he might be.

Yet this young man was astonishingly young!

"President Chi, who is this gentleman?"

Li Chengkong couldn't help but ask. If it were an ordinary young man, he wouldn't bother, but Xu Lin looked anything but ordinary; he was extraordinary.

Chi Linyue glanced at Xu Lin, initially planning to say he was her younger brother.

But just at that moment, she saw Xu Lin's extraordinary aura, like a dragon among men, with an indescribable nobility.

His aura was so unique that no one could underestimate him.

"My fiancé, Xu Lin!"

Xu Lin kept a calm face and smiled slightly, "Xu Lin, as in calm and composed."

"Young Master Xu, a pleasure to meet you!"

Li Chengkong extended his hand and shook hands with Xu Lin, "My name is Li Chengkong."

"President Li, a pleasure to meet you."

Xu Lin actually had no idea what this man's company did, but pleasantries were necessary.

On the other side, Li Chengkong was also wondering, who exactly is this formidable figure?

He truly was extraordinary.

Before long, everyone sat down.

On either side of the sofas, forming a '7' shape, Xu Lin and Chi Linyue sat on one side, while Li Chengkong and the other two sat on the other.

On Xu Lin's side, Chi Linyue gave up her seat to Xu Lin, letting him sit in her place, effectively making him the spokesperson among them now.

Xu Lin still appeared calm, seated there.

Xu Lin suspected that last time he let Chi Linyue take control of the situation, and this time Chi Linyue was letting him handle it.

Xu Lin, who knew nothing about business negotiations, understood at this moment that not speaking or speaking less was the right approach — to act deep and mysterious, making others think he was unfathomable.

Chi Linyue realized too, letting Xu Lin sit there, the others couldn't help but focus their attention on him.

They were all impressed by Xu Lin.

Good thing Xu Lin was brought along today!
