Having gotten rid of Chen Bing, with the annoying "flies" no longer around, Li Chen and Lin Yi were able to chat naturally.
"Do guys like him pop up often?" Li Chen asked curiously.
"Not really that many. Most are here for business talk," Lin Yi replied.
For Li Chen, he was extremely concerned about his wife. If she usually interacted with such types during business exchanges, he would suggest Lin Yi avoid such places.
Damn, who would feel comfortable knowing their wife is on someone’s mind?
Li Chen was not a generous man, especially not in these sorts of situations.
Business is business, but if it veers off into other areas, Li Chen would become upset.
Seeming to know that Li Chen was upset, Lin Yi quickly said, "Actually, it’s mostly okay. Guys like Chen Bing are the minority, most focus solely on business, after all, everyone is here primarily for money."
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen nodded and said, "Hmm, if I’m not around during such parties in the future, just call me directly if there’s any issue. I can handle all kinds of trouble!"
Lin Yi, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, alright, I know you’re capable, isn’t that enough?"
At that moment, the music in the hall suddenly started, and the surrounding people conscientiously moved toward the center of the hall and began to dance gracefully.
"Shall we dance as well?" Lin Yi said to Li Chen.
"Sure!" Li Chen nodded. He didn’t dance often, but such things were not too difficult for him.
Soon, the two embraced and joined the others at the center of the hall, dancing gracefully with the crowd.
The soft music accompanied the gentle dance.
Generally, during such times, people not only dance but also talk about various matters while dancing.
And Li Chen was clearly discussing something with Lin Yi.
"Wife, when we go home tonight..."
Lin Yi blushed and shot Li Chen a glare, who talks about such things while dancing?
"Let’s talk about it when we get back!" Lin Yi said softly.
"Alright then, we’ll discuss it back home," Li Chen said, a smile appearing on his face.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from nearby, "President Lin, I didn’t expect to see you here!"
Li Chen and Lin Yi both turned their heads and saw the speaker was a woman who looked like a young housewife.
Next to this woman was a very muscular man.
"President Zhang." Lin Yi greeted the young woman with a smile.
As mentioned before, true female entrepreneurs are actually not that common. Although there are many women here, most are brought along for different reasons.
These women either came as arm candy or had the intention of aligning themselves with powerful sponsors.
This young housewife, however, was a genuine female entrepreneur, and because she and Lin Yi were not far apart in age, they usually had a good relationship.
"President Zhang, have you changed your taste?" Glancing at the muscular man clinging to the young housewife, Lin Yi couldn’t resist making a joke.
The young woman laughed twice, not taking Lin Yi’s teasing seriously. Many people were well aware of her character, and although she switched men rather frequently, she was still quite a decent person.
"Let’s not talk about me for now, what’s rare is that President Lin, you actually also ..." the young woman said meaningfully as she looked towards Lin Yi.
Knowing Lin Yi, who usually was as cold as ice, it was simply astonishing to see him dancing with a man today.
"Don’t talk nonsense, this is my husband, Li Chen," Lin Yi shook his head and said.
"Your husband?" President Zhang’s eyes widened, "Lin Yi, you got married? I don’t seem to have heard the news!"
Lin Yi just smiled and offered no explanation.
"Mr. Li, I apologize for earlier," the young woman hurriedly said to Li Chen, "Lin Yi and I are on good terms, so I usually like to joke around. Please don’t mind me."
"It’s fine," Li Chen said with a smile, shaking his head; he didn’t mind Lin Yi having a few friends. After all, in the business world, many things are difficult to handle without the help of friends.
Moreover, Li Chen knew Lin Yi’s character: while he might make friends, he would not do anything inappropriate.
"You guys have fun, I’m going to leave now," President Zhang winked at Lin Yi and then walked away with his arm around another man.
Li Chen, holding Lin Yi, involuntarily let his hand slip slightly lower, "I say, my dear wife, introducing me so grandly to others, are you trying to get me involved in the business as well?"
Feeling Li Chen’s wandering hand, Lin Yi’s face turned red again, and he quickly said, "Don’t mess around! Besides, how else should I introduce you, as my kept man?"
"That could work too, I quite fancy being a kept man!" Li Chen laughed.
"Actually, it’s good this way—now that people have heard I’m married, I’ll probably be bothered by fewer flies," Lin Yi said.
"My wife is the best!" unable to resist, Li Chen leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on Lin Yi’s lovely lips.
While the party was still going on, at the train station of Linchuan City, a man had just gotten off a train.
Wearing a flat cap that obscured his features, his face, hidden under the cap, appeared somewhat fierce.
Moreover, a cold aura emitted from the man caused people nearby to unconsciously keep their distance.
Of course, it was just a slight distance.
In a crowded place like a train station, you see all kinds of people.
The man moved through the crowd and came to a secluded corner, silently pulling out a photograph from his pocket.
If anyone knew Li Chen, they could instantly recognize, at a glimpse, that the man in the photograph was indeed Li Chen!
However, due to the angle, the photograph was somewhat blurry. Clearly, it was taken without Li Chen’s knowledge.
The man glanced around, then pressed his cap down a bit lower and stared at the photo in his hands, his eyes revealing a trace of resentment.
"You probably didn’t expect this, did you? I’ve come for you! This time, the humiliation you’ve given me, I will return it all to you!" the man murmured to himself as he held the photograph.
Then, the man put away the photo, glanced around, and without speaking further, walked into the crowd.
Soon, the man had disappeared into the crowd, as if he had never been there.
