Chen Qingyu was rich, very rich, richer than most people.
In such a large capital, After having an identity, there are quite a few young people who can rise to feng shengshui by relying on their daddy's identity. But not everyone can support a large domestic group on their own, The Qingyu Group was not founded by the Chen Clan's eldest young miss, using the Chen Clan's shell, Regarding men's and women's fashions, The cosmetics and retail industries weren't extensive, but they were superior in terms of scale. Chen Qingyu had been in charge of the Qingyu Group for less than two years and hadn't done anything to double the market value of the group. However, the already large Qingyu Group was getting stronger and stronger. Anyone with good eyesight could tell that Chen Qingyu, as the president of the group, could be described as a person who advanced day by day.
But it was precisely because Eldest Miss Chen was rich that she became even angrier when she heard Lin Xiaocao 's words. She said impulsively that if the other party won and gave the first kiss to this fellow, before she could regret it, all her emotions would be directed in another direction by the other party's light words.
As the eldest daughter of the Chen Clan, Chen Qingyu had never been arrogant. but he had never underestimated himself, Even without the slightest bit of subjectivity, From an objective point of view, the first kiss of the Chen Clan's eldest young miss was definitely something that countless people dreamed of. It was even possible to bring a beauty back onto the Chen Clan and even the royal clan's ship by relying on this. Moreover, with Chen Qingyu's appearance and temperament, asking her to kiss wasn't really a grievance to anyone.
There were many nobles in the capital, many young masters, many daughters, and many daughters. However, there were not many perfect women with brains, temperament, appearance, and family background. They could not be counted as avoiding the eldest young miss of the Chen Clan. Her first kiss was not an exaggeration even if it was inestimable in value.
To dare to call out for her first kiss on impulse was enough to prove that Eldest Miss Chen was truly furious at this moment.
What made Chen Qingyu so angry that she almost fainted was Lin Xiaocao 's answer.
"A first kiss isn't enough. Why don't you add some money?"
More money!
Inside the pavilion, Chen Qingyu 's delicate body trembled slightly. She bit her lips forcefully. Her plump chest rose and fell. She opened her beautiful big eyes. The anger on her small face became even more evident, as if she intended to kill Lin Xiaocao with her eyes.
To be honest, even if Lin Xiaocao didn't propose a first kiss a few times, and even showed that he didn't only want a first kiss, he also didn't have any ambitions of wanting Miss Chen to start the night. Not to mention whether Chen Qingyu would agree or not, at least he wouldn't be so angry.
But he chose his first kiss and money.
How vulgar.
Could it be that this young miss' first kiss, and even her body, is not comparable to those pieces of paper? !
Anger, embarrassment, grievance, and a trace of disbelief.
Chen Qingyu 's thoughts were complicated. It was as if she had knocked over a Schisandra bottle. For the first time, she even suspected that she had overestimated her charm.
"How much do you want?"
Chen Qingyu gritted her teeth. Things have come to this, She was too lazy to care whether she was impulsive or not. Now, let alone looking for someone to teach this fellow a lesson, Eldest Miss Chen even had the intention to change all of her continuation into coins and smash Lin Xiaocao to death. She had already made up her mind that no matter how much Lin Xiaocao said, she would agree to it. The more he asked for, the more unforgettable the lesson he would receive.
Until now, Chen Qingyu did not think that she would lose. At best, she was just a little impulsive.
Coincidentally, Lin Xiaocao did not think that he would lose. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, as if he was calculating Chen Qingyu 's financial resources. After two to three minutes, he raised his head and said with uncertainty, "Ten million?"
"Alright."
Chen Qingyu agreed without changing her expression.
In the crowd, Lin Shuimo reached out and touched his forehead.
Sure enough, before Chen Qingyu could continue speaking, Lin Xiaocao added, "US dollars."
"Why didn't you steal it?!"
Chen Qingyu cried out in alarm. Ten million dollars was not a small number to her. Of course, she could bring it out. However, it was meaningless to use this price to engage in a battle of pure will. This was completely different from the capital's Lin Clan hiring Lin Xiaocao as a bodyguard.
"Brother, do you know how much $10 million is worth? I can bury you in front of you. You have guts!"
Someone in the crowd chuckled and teased.
"Sister Chen is so domineering. I'm sure you can take out ten million dollars. But since it's a bet, this bodyguard brother can't always speak big. At the very least, he has to take out a corresponding lottery prize, right?"
"This bro is a little too arrogant. Whether you lose or win, I will make you my friend."
"Shui Mo, where did you find this living treasure? Does he know what invincibility is? Quickly get him a dictionary..."
The crowd instantly became clamorous. Most people didn't have any ill intentions. They were purely watching the fun and not meddling. In everyone's hearts, they didn't think that Lin Xiaocao could win. The Chen Clan's predecessor, the Chen Clan, was the number one faction in the military. In the army, there were crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and no one else. No matter how ferocious a bodyguard was, it was impossible for him to be invincible in Nine Continents City. Chen Qingyu would definitely not be able to pass this trial.
"Alright, ten million dollars. You can take it if you win, but what if you lose?"
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath. The surroundings were noisy, but she miraculously calmed down.
"Whatever you want. But I don't have any money."
Lin Xiaocao said indifferently. He was a true expert in art, but in the eyes of others, he was a brainless arrogance and provocation.
"Very good. If you can win, nothing will happen. My first kiss and money are all for you. If you lose, you will be a bodyguard in the future! I heard that you have to protect Waterink for a year. If you lose, you will be with me for three years. You have to do whatever you want! Sister, I will use ten million dollars to buy your three years!"
Chen Qingyu said hatefully. She had already started searching for experts in her mind. This time, she had to win. She had to invite the strongest person she knew over. Lions fighting rabbits, she had to go all out!
"When will it start?"
Lin Xiaocao finally revealed a smile. The beautiful woman's first kiss and the colorful banknotes were constantly seducing him. He had no reason not to be happy.
"Tomorrow at this time, it will be here. Do you dare?"
Chen Qingyu seemed to have found a suitable candidate. The corner of her mouth revealed a faint smile. Her entire body returned to the state where Lin Xiaocao had first seen her. She was soft and charming.
Lin Xiaocao , who had already experienced Miss Chen's hot temper, didn't waste any words. He nodded and agreed without saying a word.
"Everyone, let's disperse. Tomorrow, this place will be closed to the outside world for a day. No one should join in the fun."
Wang Bolong suddenly scolded, He waved his hand to signal for the crowd to disperse. He made it very clear that the winner of the bet tomorrow would be the one who lost. Most of the people present couldn't see how wonderful the process was. This made most people feel regret in their hearts. They sighed and dispersed. The slight dissatisfaction soon faded away. After a moment of shock, they returned to their usual giggle.
"Ink, calligraphy and painting, let's talk over there."
Wang Bolong pointed at the sofa in the reception hall, his tone gentle.
Lin Shuhua and Lin Shuimo nodded. Lin Xiaocao, who had already accepted the bet, was no longer angry with Chen Qingyu. Following behind Lin Shuimo, he walked to the sofa. The four of them sat down on the sofa. Wang Bolong took the initiative to pour a glass of water for them. At this time, The reception hall was quiet, It was clear that not many young masters and young masters who had come here were willing to stay honestly. Some went upstairs to K-song, Some go swimming, There were also quite a few who planned to earn some pocket money on the first basement floor, Chen Qingyu replaced Lin Xiaocao just now. Sitting in the pavilion, he was stunned. Wang Bolong glanced at her and shook his head. He said to Lin Shuimo, "Shuimo, Governor Lin's matter should be settled soon. It is acceptable for both sides to go to the Development Committee and enter the Cabinet to assist Aunt Chen. Governor Lin has done a good job in Wu Yue. His hard results have been placed there, and the resistance to going to the Development Committee has been reduced to the minimum."
"However, there are currently two options for this matter. One is to move on to the Development Committee for a few months. The second was that Secretary Han of Wuyue Province was old and his energy had decreased. He could consider resigning. His position was filled by Governor Lin. Of course, it was all excessive in nature. "The empire will hold its core meeting in October. Two more leaders at the Policy Bureau level will be elected this year. There is still about ten months left. I will give you an idea in advance so that Governor Lin can think about it. Aunt Chen will talk to him about this matter in a few days."
Lin Shuimo subconsciously looked at the expressionless Lin Xiaocao and secretly sighed, "This guy is really predictable." He nodded and whispered, "Then who is going to fill the position in the Ministry of Officials?"
"I'm not sure yet."
Wang Bolong picked up the cup and drank a mouthful of water. He slowly said, "The competition for this position is very intense, but because of Governor Lin, the royal family is no longer easy to interfere. Right now, the southern faction and the southwest faction are fighting again. However, the position of the Ministry of Officials is very sensitive. The southern faction has little chance of winning. We don't care about this for the time being. Just bring my words to Governor Lin. He should have considered it."
Lin Shuimo said, No matter how slow she was about politics, she understood the subtext, The governor of a province, With or without factions, There must be a complex network down there, Lin will be in the Policy Bureau in ten months, Before this, whether to leave Wu Yue or stay, It's a tough trade-off, Leaving Wu Yue to enter the Development Committee ahead of time, Ten months could be used to ascertain the situation of the Development Committee, After assuming office, it would be easy to stabilize the situation. With Deputy Prime Minister Chen, But this also means giving up the opportunity to consolidate Wuyue's network, If you stay, Although it was only ten months, However, he stayed as the top party secretary. Relying on ten months, Lin Congzheng could promote some officials. After all, he was about to rise in rank, so he would still have influence after leaving Wu Yue ten months. Being able to control the situation in Wu Yue Province would greatly help him improve his status in the royal family.
The Wang family had great sincerity towards Lin Congzheng, giving him the right to choose freely. Wang Bolong even sold out a favor and told Lin Shuimo the news in advance. Although it was only a few days ahead of time, it was enough for Lin Congzheng to weigh the pros and cons.
"Although the southwest faction agreed to Governor Lin's promotion, But it's just on the table, Politics is nothing more than a game on the table and an operation off the table, Therefore, it is inevitable that they will make some small movements. Calligraphy, painting, and the matter of Uncle Jun will probably be found out by them. If possible, arrange for Uncle Jun to come to Nine Continents City in the near future, or go directly to Wu Yue to meet with Governor Lin to discuss countermeasures, in case everyone is caught off guard. "This is a rare opportunity I picked up from the southwest faction. I have to grasp it!"
Wang Bolong looked at Lin Shuhua and continued. The military uncle he spoke of was Lin Shuhua's father, Lin Congjun, and his younger brother Lin Congzheng. In the three provinces in the northeast of the empire, Lin Congjun said that he was second, and no one dared to say that he was first!
"This …"
Lin Shuhua rubbed his nose with an expression that seemed to hurt, "What do you say?" Crown Prince, you know my father's temper. After leaving Sister Shui Mo's house, my father hasn't returned. I guess my father is too lazy to interfere. Honestly speaking, it's not just him. I don't like Governor Lin and Elder Lin's style. It's nice to say that they're conservative. To say that they're ugly is to be cowardly. Well, I know I shouldn't have said that. Slap yourself. But I want to tell my father to go to Wu Yue personally or come to the capital to meet Governor Lin. He will definitely slap me. Holy shit, my father rarely hit me since I was young, but if he really gets angry, I really can't stand it and just hang him up to fight. Horse whip, you know? The whip is soaked in water, and it's really fascinating to the human body. I've tried it once, but I really don't plan to try it a second time. Crown Prince, has Master ever hit you? Anyway, what I remember more clearly is that my dad hit me three times. Let me tell you... "
"Shut up!"
Wang Bolong couldn't bear it anymore. He subconsciously moved his body, I just feel that my egg hurts so badly, Most of the time, Lin Shuhua's mouth was even more ferocious than his martial power. After all, this was not an era where people could casually kill people, But as soon as Lin Shuhua opened his chatter box, It was all endless, He could only interrupt, If you ignore him, He could have talked so much that he could break people down, Normally, Wang Bolong, who had long been used to it, endured it. The key was that this guy still had a lot of serious problems. A few words could change the topic to 108,000 kilometers away. Wang Bolong could not describe his opponent's personality. He could only understand that this guy was born with a skill as powerful as his uncle's. It was a ruthless move to kill.
Just as Wang Bolong was about to speak, he swept the corner of his eyes and saw two sturdy and unfamiliar youths walk into the hall with unfriendly expressions. He narrowed his eyes.
The two uninvited guests' expressions were cold as they directly arrived in front of Wang Bolong and the others. Their tone was rather polite, "President Wang Bolong?"
Although he had the title of general manager of the Heavenly Listening Group, Wang Bolong , who was rarely addressed as President Wang, nodded and said calmly, "Is something the matter?"
"Where's Lin Xiaocao ?"
Among the two youths, the one who was relatively amiable spoke directly, without any detours or nonsense.
"Are you asking me?"
Wang Bolong suddenly raised his eyebrows and leaned behind the sofa. He stared at the two youths who walked in without any nonsense. His originally calm and pure temperament suddenly carried an indescribable fierceness in his chest!
"We are Minister Zhao's guards. Crown Prince, our brothers are soldiers. They can't speak and offend the Crown Prince. I hope that you will be generous. We just came to take Lin Xiaocao away. Minister Zhao said that he doesn't want to make things difficult for you and him because of a bodyguard. It's not worth it."
The more amiable youth slowly said. He said that he was amiable, but it was definitely only a relative matter. The reason for that was because the other person's facial features were 180,000 kilometers away from kindness. In a casual battle, he had a fierce posture. It would take courage to choose such a person as a guard.
"Take it away?"
Lin Xiaocao smiled. He stood up and smiled, "Where are you taking me?"
"Are you Lin Xiaocao ?"
The friendly youth's eyes became even colder, and he stared at Lin Xiaocao from the moment he stood up.
"I am."
Lin Xiaocao said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I don't have time right now. I don't want to go anywhere today. What do you want?"
"It's not up to you."
The friendly youth sneered and reached out to grab Lin Xiaocao 's shoulder, "You must go where you should go!"
It was straightforward, direct, and even rigid.
Without the so-called sophistication and tactfulness, he would completely carry out his orders. After confirming the identity of the target, he would immediately make his move.
It had to be said that this was a very standard military style.
However, landing in Wang Bolong 's eyes was undoubtedly a provocation.
Lin Xiaocao looked at Wang Bolong .
Wang Bolong was still leaning against the sofa, expressionless.
Lin Xiaocao chuckled and suddenly made a move before the other party's hand landed on his shoulder. He grabbed the other party's palm and mercilessly snapped it.
"Kacha!"
Lin Xiaocao had never been polite in his every move, It was so simple that it was almost brutal. The other party's four fingers were severely broken by him. The friendly man with a twisted expression suddenly opened his mouth and roared wildly. However, there was only half a chance for him to shout. Lin Xiaocao lightly tapped the tip of his foot on the sofa. He jumped up and slammed his knee into the other party's chest, suppressing the other party's roar.
Lin Xiaocao 's expression was expressionless. With a single move, he made the opponent lose his fighting strength and refused to let go. He pressed down on the opponent's head, causing the opponent to spit out a mouthful of blood on the floor and smashed an elbow on the back of his neck.
The arrogance wasn't domineering, but this unkind and friendly man was knocked to the ground and fainted on the spot.
Lin Xiaocao 's actions were straightforward and straightforward. His every move carried a fierce and domineering aura that made one's scalp numb. In the eyes of outsiders, it was extremely shocking.
"You also want to take me away? Do you have the ability to do that?"
Lin Xiaocao looked at the friendly man's companion and said coldly.
The veins on the guard's forehead twitched violently, but he didn't dare to act rashly. His companion, who was about the same strength as him, was instantly killed on the spot. If he went up alone, he would most likely be knocked unconscious.
"Take your colleague out and tell Vice-Minister Zhao Tongguang that I'm not in a difficult position. If I make him feel embarrassed, then I'm sorry, but I don't intend to correct it."
"Also, the Seventh Young Master's Club is not a place where people can be captured casually. Those who can enter Villa 3 are all my friends and guests. I will give Vice Minister Zhao face and he will give me face. This is a piece of advice." Wang Bolong leaned against the sofa with his eyelids lowered and his cold tone revealed an indescribable arrogance.
He paused for a moment and said indifferently, "Scram."
The guard's originally ferocious face became even more ferocious, revealing a humiliating red color. However, he didn't dare to say anything else. He gritted his teeth and slowly carried his companion away.
The mission this time was too different from their expectations. No one, including Minister Zhao, had expected that the famous Crown Prince would fight for a bodyguard. Who was more important, a bodyguard or a deputy director of the six ministries? This was a question that even a fool could understand, but the Crown Prince did not seem to understand, and even slapped Minister Zhao fiercely on the face.
The fierce-looking guard supported his companion. Although his expression was ugly, he didn't panic in his heart. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. Since the Crown Prince had spoken ruthlessly, there was no need to blame them for their misconduct. At the very least, Minister Zhao would not treat Lin Xiaocao as a bodyguard, but as someone the Crown Prince wanted to protect. This matter had nothing to do with him anymore.
Outside the villa, Chen Qingyu , who had personally watched Minister Zhao's two guards walk in and then leave in a sorry state, finally entered the hall. She looked at Lin Xiaocao and frowned slightly, "Did you attack again?"
Lin Xiaocao ignored him, but his gaze drifted towards a piano in the corner of the villa.
When I was young, I brought a responsibility that I was destined to shoulder for the rest of my life into the Kunlun Mountains, In the heavy snow, he saw her. Under the plaque of the Heavenly Court, she was dressed in red. She was small and thin, but she seemed to be taller than him. He remembered that she walked in front of him at that time and reached out to touch his face. He smiled and greeted her. Then, he told himself that he would call her sister in the future.
She was very weak, even to the point of being unable to withstand the wind. In the Heavenly Court of the Kunlun Mountains, which was close to 5,000 meters above sea level, the weather was still a little too cold. At that time, Lin Xiaocao , who had just arrived in Kunlun and was not used to the weather, often hugged her to keep warm. A six or seven year old child, who knew how to not kiss her.
She loved music very much, or to put it bluntly, she was obsessed with all sounds, because only with sounds could she find her presence in this world, so she was obsessed with all kinds of musical instruments, but in the end, she only knew two kinds, one was the guqin, and the other was the harmonica.
From childhood to adulthood, that desperate and gloomy-looking child grew up in the boundless snow of the Kunlun Mountains. He had gone crazy, painful, and desperate. He cried and laughed. He grew from a child to a man. When countless minds were in turmoil, it was his sister's zither music that made him feel calm again.
Sister said that in this world, there are not only guqin and harmonica, but also pipa, guzheng, shaw, guitar and piano. However, she can't learn it, and most likely can't learn it for the rest of her life.
At that time, he was already nineteen years old and his mind wasn't in a frenzy. He smiled and said that I was going to learn, and then he came back to play for you.
She said with a gentle smile.
That year, at the age of nineteen, he walked out of the Kunlun Mountains for the first time, bringing with him his second responsibility.
In the blink of an eye, it had been almost four years.
In fact, he really wanted to return to the world filled with snow and tell her that he had learned the piano that she could not learn, and that he had also learned the guitar that she could not learn.
Lin Xiaocao sighed softly. At this moment, his eyes were strangely free of arrogance and arrogance. Only the longing thrown out of his bones was warm and stubborn, causing his heart to tremble.
Chen Qingyu was stunned. She suddenly wanted to explore the story behind Lin Xiaocao 's gaze.
He walked gently to the piano, sat down, stretched out his hand, and casually pressed a button.
His voice was clear and could be heard throughout the hall, and his tone was perfect.
Lin Xiaocao 's expression became calmer and calmer. He was so lovesick that the resentment, the responsibility, the hatred, and the desire to kill directly blossomed in his slender but callous palms and piano.
Countless notes suddenly exploded!
Instantly, the entire hall was filled with intense and high spirits!
Quick!
Lin Xiaocao 's fingers flew like flying, and dense notes filled their ears. Then, they came out of the hall and echoed in the villa.
The zither sounds became more and more intense. The notes were intense, messy, and orderly. However, the imperfect tune revealed a unique momentum. It was crazy and stubborn. Following the zither sounds, this momentum quickly rose, piercing through everyone's soul defense line, passing through the hall, passing through the villa, and carrying a sharp and sharp edge that soared straight into the clouds, rising uninterruptedly.
This was definitely not any known tune, not even a normal tune.
Such a dense rhythm was simply a type of bombardment!
As the audience grew, the rest of the villa began to gather.
Lin Xiaocao sat quietly with his hands on his chest. The zither music did not decline, but became even denser and more powerful.
Everyone's heartbeats unconsciously accelerated as the zither sounded. In a heart-shaking rhythm, everyone's blood boiled!
The zither suddenly stopped, and then it erupted again. The notes became even more intense.
Chen Qingyu 's rosy face suddenly turned pale. The chaotic sound of the zither seemed to be the only sound in the world. At that moment, she almost felt the urge to vomit blood. Her originally boiling hot blood instantly cooled down. Among the uninterrupted sound of the zither, there was only one pressure that made one unable to breathe.
She gently walked to the sofa and sat down. Suddenly, she had the urge to cover her ears.
This was definitely not a song that had already been sacrificed to the world. It was not perfect, but it was bizarre enough.
When the frenzied voice became the only one, it was a song in itself!
Lin Shuhua 's expression was also ugly. He looked at Wang Bolong and suddenly said, "Crown Prince, the more Lin Xiaocao sees, the more I can't see through him. It feels like even you are no match for him."
Wang Bolong remained silent. After a long time, he turned to look at Chen Qingyu and whispered, "Cousin, if you want to win against Lin Xiaocao , don't look for me. As long as you feel the most powerful in your heart, you should just invite him over directly."
Chen Qingyu did not say anything. She looked at Lin Xiaocao in front of the piano with a complicated expression.
