Lin Bai said speechlessly, “There’s no need for that. I already have Yu Jinmo…”
Zhu Kai said, “I know that you two are in a loving relationship, but I’m not asking you to dump her.”
“She’s just going to be a business partner and she’s pleasing to the eye, so what’s wrong with having dinner together occasionally?”
“Don’t tell me that when you have a girlfriend, you have to deliberately avoid the opposite sex in normal interpersonal relationships?”
Lin Bai said, “I didn’t say that I have to deliberately avoid it. It’s just that there’s no need to prioritize a certain cooperative partner just because they’re a woman. Business is business. Since we’re going to choose a partner, we’ll only look at capabilities.”
“Things other than capabilities, such as beauty and figures, have nothing to do with me. They’re also not within my scope of consideration.”
These words made Luo Yang and Zhu Kai completely convinced.
“Boss is boss. He’s on a different level from us. As expected of our boss, he is calm and rational. No wonder you can make the best judgment every time.”
Luo Yang and Zhu Kai gave him a thumbs up.
In the face of their praise and flattery, Lin Bai was still very calm.
“You guys are flattering me too much. You just eliminated the unimportant distractions. What realm is there?”
Luo Yang said, “Boss, we didn’t mean to suck up to you. We really think that you’re amazing.”
Zhu Kai also said, “That’s right. I don’t think I can ignore such a level of beauty but then again if this great beauty takes the initiative to chase after you and seduce you. Boss, would you still be so calm?”
Lin Bai smiled faintly. “I might not even have any interaction with her.”
Zhu Kai did not give up and asked, “What if she does? What if she throws herself into your arms? Would you still refuse?”
Lin Bai was about to answer when his phone suddenly rang.
It was an unknown number.
Lin Bai hesitated for a moment. When he saw that it was a local number, he still chose to answer.
“Hello, who is this?”
The person on the other end of the phone answered very respectfully, “I’m Zhao Guangming. Mr. Lin, is it convenient for you to come out and meet me?”
“You saved my daughter, which is the same as saving our entire family. So I wanted to thank you in person.”
Lin Bai felt that there was no need to meet him, so he said, “No need. Stay at home and keep your daughter company. She’s in shock and needs to be comforted and accompanied.”
But Zhao Guangming said, “Actually, I brought Tingting along. We’re already at the school gate.”
“I really don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to thank her in person and let Tingting remember what her savior looks like. Mr. Lin, if it’s convenient for you, could you please come out for a moment?”
Lin Bai could not help but frown. He was not very happy.
The other party had already reached the school gate before he called to beg for a meeting. It was more or less moral coercion.
What Lin Bai hated the most was being coerced by morals.
Zhu Kai listened to Lin Bai’s words from the side and mouthed, “Who is it? Is It Zhao Guangming?”
Lin Bai nodded.
Zhu Kai immediately perked up and urged, “Let’s go see him! Let’s go! I’ll go with you!”
Although Luo Yang didn’t say anything, it was obvious that he was very curious and wanted to join in the fun.
Lin Bai thought about it and felt that it was indeed boring to stay in the dormitory. It wouldn’t hurt to go and see him.
He would just treat it as a walk.
Anyway, he was at the gate of his school, so he wasn’t afraid that Zhao Guangming would do something.
Besides, Zhao Guangming had no reason to repay kindness with enmity.
So Lin Bai agreed.
“Alright then, wait for a while. I’ll be there in a while.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and grabbed a jacket to leave.
Zhu Kai and Luo Yang looked very excited.
Lin Bai had just put on his jacket when the two of them had already dashed out of the door.
Lin Bai was speechless.
“Is there a need to be so impatient?”
Zhu Kai said, “Of course there is! That guy was still insulting you yesterday, but today he came over to thank you. How interesting! Hurry up, hurry up. I can’t wait to see his expression!”
Lin Bai complained helplessly, “Zhu Kai, Luo Yang, the two of you should hurry up and find a partner!”
“I’ve been so free these past few days. How can you be so excited over such a trivial matter?”
Zhu Kai said, “I want to too! But you won’t help me read my fate and tell me whether Xiao Li and I are fated or not. I don’t even know if I should pursue her or not.”
Lin Bai was speechless. Why couldn’t this topic be avoided?
‘How many times must I say it to make them believe that I can’t read fortunes?’
When they reached the school gate, they saw Zhao Guangming and a young girl standing there.
The girl was wearing a school uniform and hiding behind Zhao Guangming timidly with only half of her body exposed.
When he saw Lin Bai, Zhao Guangming immediately pulled the girl out and said,
“Tingting, this is your savior. Lin Bai, Mr. Lin, quickly thank him!”
The girl lowered her head and whispered, “Thank, thank you.”
Zhao Guangming said anxiously, “Speak up!”
The girl gritted her teeth and tried to raise her voice. “Thank you.”
“Be more sincere! What did I tell you at home?”
Zhao Guangming was still not satisfied.
Lin Bai could not stand it anymore and said,
“Alright, Alright. I can feel your gratitude. Hurry up and go home.”
Zhao Guangming refused to leave. He said with a fawning face, “Mr. Lin, please help my daughter meet someone. See if she has any other disasters in the future?”
“I only have this one daughter. I really don’t dare to let anything happen to her again.”
“It was all thanks to you yesterday. Otherwise, our family would have collapsed!”
“Mr. Lin, Master Lin, please help read my daughter’s fortune!”
As he spoke, he didn’t forget to touch his daughter beside him with his elbow and reminded her softly, “Raise your head! If you don’t raise your head, how will Master Lin read?”
Lin Bai forced himself not to roll his eyes.
He knew that Zhao Guang Ming had insisted on meeting, definitely not just to thank him.
The girl slowly raised her head and quickly lowered it. She was obviously extremely embarrassed.
If the ground could crack open at this moment, she would definitely jump in without hesitation.
Actually, Lin Bai could make her feel ridiculous. After all, she had almost encountered such a dark incident yesterday. Her heart would definitely be filled with fear, sensitivity, and vulnerability.
There were people coming and going at the school gate. For her in this state, it was a form of torture.
Lin Bai knew that if he did not go along with Zhao Guangming’s wishes, he would definitely be thick-skinned and continue to pester her endlessly.
Although he was not afraid of being pestered, he could not bear for a girl to continue enduring the invisible psychological torture.
Hence, he casually made up a few sentences:
“Your daughter has a pretty good appearance and is blessed. As long as she pays attention to her safety, protects herself, and doesn’t make any mistakes, she’ll be fine.”
“Go back and study hard. Don’t think about things that have nothing to do with your studies for now. It’s not too late to start a relationship after you get into university.”
It was definitely not wrong to study hard.
That was why Lin Bai said that.
