Chi Linyue's business talk lasted about an hour.

During this time, Xu Lin didn't say much.

Finally, Chi Linyue asked him, "What do you think?"

This was Chi Linyue asking about the stock investment issue she had just discussed with the other party. Xu Lin listened carefully, so he understood that Chi Linyue had already reached an agreement. Now he just needed to nod and play along.

After all, Chi Linyue intended for him to show his face.

So, Xu Lin gave a soft "mm" and put on a mysterious air.

Truth be told, his current aura and presence made him seem formidable, even if he was dressed shabbily. In Li Chengkong's eyes, Xu Lin was truly unfathomable.

With that, the business negotiation concluded, and both parties proceeded to sign the contract.

As for the signing, naturally, it was Chi Linyue's responsibility.

"Miss Chi, Young Master Xu, wishing you a happy cooperation!"

Meanwhile, Li Chengkong stood up and extended his right hand.

Xu Lin and Chi Linyue also stood up and shook hands with him one after another.

Xu Lin was quite serious about manners.

"Wishing a happy cooperation!"

Xu Lin and Chi Linyue said in succession.

Everyone chatted casually for a few more sentences.

Li Chengkong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and the deft action showed he was a staunch supporter of the national aircraft carrier industry.

"Young Master Xu, care for a cigarette?"

"Sure."

Xu Lin accepted one, ready to take the lighter from Li Chengkong, but the latter insisted on lighting the cigarette for him.

Xu Lin was slightly taken aback, not expecting to be held in such high regard.

Xu Lin said nothing about this, happily allowing Li Chengkong to light the cigarette for him.

In terms of social status, someone pouring you tea, serving you wine, or lighting a cigarette is clearly placing you on an equal or even higher level.

After Li Chengkong lit the cigarette for Xu Lin, Xu Lin exhaled a puff.

Not being a regular smoker, Xu Lin found it hard to like cigarettes; the taste was strange.

"Young Master Xu, pleased to meet you today!"

Li Chengkong smiled.

"Pleasure meeting you as well!"

Xu Lin smiled.

Li Chengkong watched Xu Lin, seeing him exhale smoke, momentarily thinking he was exhaling immortality or dragon's breath.

Internally unsettled, who on earth is this fellow?

Xu Lin didn't know how mysterious he appeared to the other party, even smoking invoked curiosity.

However, this was just a little episode.

After finishing the cigarette, the chit-chat concluded, Xu Lin and the others bid farewell to Li Chengkong.

As they were leaving, Xu Lin grabbed a bottle of mineral water, finding the taste of smoke unfamiliar.

"Don't smoke next time!"

Chi Linyue emphasized.

Xu Lin: "Sometimes smoking and drinking are unavoidable in social interactions."

This was something Xu Lin's father said. Xu Lin often joined his father for social engagements, saying he wanted Xu Lin to see the real side of society.

Chi Linyue, arms crossed, casually remarked, "Unavoidable? So if they hire a room full of women, you join in too?"

"That's not right, my taste isn't that low."

Xu Lin: "Actually, I'm quite selective, I'm not interested in ordinary girls, at least someone with your looks, I'd fancy."

"Sis, give me a kiss!"

"Don't even think about it, behave!"

Chi Linyue advised, "Don't smoke again in the future!"

"Okay."

"But you really held down for sister today!"

Chi Linyue was in a good mood, "Even that Li Chengkong lit a cigarette for you. This old guy is quite famous, a big-shot sort. He must think you're impressive, hence lighting a cigarette for you. If it weren't for not planning any dinners, he'd probably serve you tea and wine too!"

Li Chengkong's company is a semiconductor company, it's prospering domestically in this field given the challenging external environment. Especially with the golden-haired one across the Pacific cracking down heavily, there's no choice but for domestic industries to be self-reliant.

Li Chengkong's company is doing well in semiconductors; accurately, this is just one of his latest fields in his group's branching industries. Chi Linyue came to invest and took an 8.9% stake, spending 40 million.

Xu Lin also said, "See, I'm impressive, right?"

"Vain!"

Chi Linyue patted and said, "Let's go for a big meal, I'm in a good mood today."

Xu Lin: "Okay."

The meal was Western cuisine, mainly steak.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin accompanied Chi Linyue to her company.

Xu Lin was quite idle lately with nothing much to do. However, he's the type to completely disconnect when busy and blatantly ignore all calls and messages when relaxing.

Chi Linyue's company is an investment firm, quite large, with over a hundred staff, equally divided between men and women, generally youthful, and the atmosphere seemed positive as everyone appeared full of energy. Xu Lin thought working here would be quite pleasant.

Inside Chi Linyue's office.

Chi Linyue pointed at the sofa diagonally opposite, "There's a sofa over there, you can stay on the sofa, or there's a bed inside if you feel sleepy, feel free to sleep inside."

"I'll nap on the sofa!"

"Then rest on the sofa!"

Chi Linyue gave Xu Lin a glare, "I have quite a few documents to deal with, gonna be busy first."

"Okay."

Xu Lin didn't disturb her, just lay down on the sofa.

This sofa was extremely comfortable, Xu Lin guessed it must cost at least thirty to fifty thousand to feel like this.

So Xu Lin lay comfortably and started sleeping.

However, after lying down a little while, Xu Lin suddenly thought of something.
