Chapter 440: Favors
Xu Cheng ignored Zheng Baorui from the beginning to the end. He turned around and was about to go inside when Li Hui immediately walked up to him, laughed, and said, “Uh, Young Master Xu, do you have time? Can I treat you to a meal?”
“We’ll see.” Xu Cheng turned around and left.
“Young Master Xu, Young Master Xu, can I get your number?” Li Hui smiled and asked again.
Xu Cheng thought about how he helped this time after all, so he said to him, “Give me your card, I will give you a call later.”
“Okay.” Li Hui quickly took out a stack of business cards from his pocket, and there were three grades. He passed Xu Cheng the one with golden borders and said, “This is my card. Young Master Xu, if you have anything that I can help with, don’t hesitate. You can just give me a call. I will try my absolute best.”
He carried three different grades of business cards, and the ones that he gave to normal people were an exquisite type that had his company, title, and contact information. But, the one he gave to Xu Cheng was the best, one that was made out of pure gold and only had his name and number on it.
Xu Cheng accepted the card and nodded, and then he walked back to the villa.
After looking at the villa and noting down the number, Li Hui turned around and went over to pat Lin Dong on the shoulder.
Lin Dong was feeling a bit flattered. After all, he was Shangcheng’s richest man! He was not just a legend to him, but a celebrity-like figure to the whole business world of Shangcheng! Even his dad Lin Han would not be able to get close to someone of his level.
Now, such a legend actually suddenly jogged over to him, patted his shoulder, and greeted him so nicely. Lin Dong could not be more surprised.
“Lin Dong, right?” Li Hui smiled as he put his arm around his shoulder and asked, “Your dad is?”
“Lin Han,” Lin Dong answered.
“Oh, I remember now! That President Lin of the Lin Wood Manufacturing Company, right?” Li Hui asked.
Lin Dong nodded.
“Young Master Xu’s your teacher?” Li Hui asked, “Like the type where he formally acknowledged you?”
Lin Dong nodded, and just when he was about to say something, Lin Han directly took out a business card, passed it to him, and said, “This is my business card. If you have time, you can come over to my office and have some tea. Do you know my son, Li Wei? He likes supercars, just like you! In the future, I will take you to meet him, and you guys can hang out frequently. I still have something to take care of so I will leave now, but remember my offer! See you!”
Before Lin Dong could come back to his senses, Li Hui already handed over his card and left.
Then, Zhang Tianyou walked over and said to Lin Dong, “Lin Dong, I hope you won’t mind what just happened. If you feel like it’s still not enough, we can take you out and treat you to a fancy meal and a night out. How about that?”
Lin Dong looked at those guys. Since his master already settled the matter, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to continue to be aggressive. He said, “Never mind that. Since my teacher said this is already settled, then let it be settled. I can’t beat you guys on my own, I will come back later when I learn some actual skills.”
Zhang Tianyou and the others chuckled. “Alright, let’s just exchange numbers then, and if you have something, you can call us. In the future when you work for your teacher, you will probably need our connections to take care of stuff. To be honest, just with your dad’s network, it’s really not enough to roam around in Shangcheng.”
Lin Dong thought about it and exchanged numbers with them.
Then, Zhang Tianyou turned around and surrounded Zheng Baorui and his daughter.
“What do you guys think you are doing?” Miss Zheng was very scared and asked.
“You b*tch, you almost screwed us all over tonight! We offended Big Brother Cheng! Although he didn’t say much about it, it was still an unpleasant event for him. About this incident, Big Brother Cheng can dismiss it, but we can’t.”
Another young master from a wealthy family looked over at Zheng Baorui and said, “President Zheng, take a look at these pieces of junk. What do you plan to do about it?”
Miss Zheng: “You guys smashed your own cars, what does that have to do with us?”
“You shut up! Are you still worried that the trouble isn’t getting bigger?” Zheng Baorui scolded his daughter, and then he looked over at Zhang Tianyou and said, “I will pay for it. Tonight, all the expenses on your cars, I will pay for it.”
Zhang Tianyou and the others sneered. “Now that the car incident is taken care of, should we talk about how your daughter used us tonight?”
Zheng Baorui’s face immediately changed. “She’s just someone that doesn’t know anything, please let her go. I will compensate you guys.”
Someone pushed Zheng Baorui away and grabbed onto Miss Zheng’s hair. Miss Zheng immediately screamed out and cried like a pig, “Dad! Save me!”
Zheng Baorui wanted to come over, but he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Tianyou as he angrily shouted, “Is this your first time out in this society? Your daughter almost f–ked us all over tonight, you know that? What is it? Can’t play by the rules anymore?”
They obviously wouldn’t just let the punches and kicks they suffered from Lin Dong and Xu Cheng be in vain. Society’s rule was just like this, if you can’t win against someone, you have to take the hits willingly. But, that doesn’t mean they won’t vent their anger on someone else, so the one that instigated all of this definitely wouldn’t be getting away scot-free.
Xu Cheng only dismissed the grudge between Lin Dong and those young masters, and now, it was about them and Miss Zheng.
Zhang Tianyou dragged Miss Zheng by her hair to a car and started the engine, preparing to start playing a game.
According to their rules, they would tie your hands to the car, and if you could run with the car, you would be fine. But if not, then you would be dragged as your skin scraped against the road.
Zheng Baorui had seen too much of this. His face changed as he immediately shouted at Zhang Tianyou and the others, “Stop!”:
“Young Master Lin, I beg you, please let us go…” Zheng Baorui turned around and ran to Lin Dong and cried as he grabbed onto the corner of Lin Dong’s clothes. “They will really do this… Please, I beg of you! Let us go, okay? Just tell them to stop, and they will listen to you!”
Lin Dong: “I don’t think this is any of my business, right?”
Then, he pulled his big brother Lin Hu and was about to leave.
But, who knew that the moment Lin Dong turned around, Zheng Baorui would drop onto his knees and beg, “Please, I beg you, Young Master Lin. It was our fault to have offended you! Please forgive us and let us go!”
Lin Dong just ignored him, because he felt it was indeed just a dogfight between Zhang Tianyou’s gang and the father and daughter duo. It wouldn’t be appropriate if he got involved.
When he and Lin Hu were about to get into the car, on the other side, Miss Zheng was crying her heart out and she also dropped onto her knees and shouted, “Lin Dong, please forgive me! I beg you! I won’t dare to do this again! I wouldn’t dare to do this again in the future! Young Master Lin, please forgive me!”
“Lin Dong, you already used a favor from your teacher, don’t waste it again,” Lin Hu reminded his little brother to not mind other people’s business because he already knew what Xu Cheng was capable of. With this level of status, one must not ask them to do a favor unless it was absolutely necessary, because it was already not easy to meet someone at this level. Only an idiot would trouble them and keep on asking favors to deplete the bank so quickly. Lin Hu knew that the Lin Family must treasure their relationship with a character like Xu Cheng, so he didn’t want Lin Dong to ask his teacher for help so freely.
Lin Dong sat in the passenger seat and paused for a moment. Then, he walked out of the car and said to Zhang Tianyou, “Can I ask you of this favor myself?”
Zhang Tianyou grinned and replied, “I was just waiting for you to say that. Let’s go out and grab a bite together. How about that? As the old saying goes, no discord, no concord.”
