"Uncle, is he really Nangong Sis’s senior brother?"
Liu Tangtang noticed that the guy now seems quite familiar with Nangong Bing. She had heard Nangong Bing mention a senior brother in finance from abroad, whom she met by chance.
Now it seems this "Gao Yuan" hero is completely different from what Liu Tangtang imagined: his sleazy demeanor and self-love were enough to be nauseating.
It’s easy to ignore his presence.
However, the Magic Bracelet hidden in Lin Zifeng’s chest could sense something. Although he didn’t know who this "Bladder" guy was, the Magic Bracelet provided him with significant insight.
Unfortunately, while he had the ability of perception, he couldn’t see through people’s hearts or minds—
Lin Zifeng nodded, seeming to recall something, signaling to Liu Tangtang with a smile, "Tangtang, could you help me with something?"
Liu Tangtang asked innocently, her delicate face marred by heavy makeup that looked scary.
Lin Zifeng didn’t even want to look at her.
"Uncle, do I really look that bad?"
Noticing Lin Zifeng’s distressed expression, even someone as naive as her could guess a thing or two.
"If you clean off that makeup, you’d be a real beauty."
Lin Zifeng swore by Heaven; Liu Tangtang’s heavy makeup at that moment made her look like a white-faced ghost. He even wondered what Liu Tangtang had done wrong for Huahua to hold such a grudge against her—
"But our school is recruiting talented female students for the acting department. A renowned director is said to be filming a domestic youth campus drama, and I’ve already decided with Huahua that we’re going to participate."
"With your current appearance?" Lin Zifeng looked at her in horror. If it were a horror film, it might be worth considering. For a youth campus drama, this makeup skill would be completely unacceptable—
"...Bad Uncle, that’s discrimination. Huahua and I have absolute confidence!" Liu Tangtang confidently said, "Huahua has already signed up; we have absolute confidence—!"
Saying this, the little girl waved her powdery fist.
A perfectly fine face screwed up with this makeup was terrifying, and combined with her fist-waving pose, if it were a horror film, the box office would surely soar!
"Uh, you will definitely succeed. May good people be safe..."
Lin Zifeng said mechanically.
"By the way, Uncle, what was that favor you wanted me to help with? Is it thrilling?"
"It’s definitely exciting." Lin Zifeng looked at her with a smile that almost wasn’t, his eyes already noticing the foreign guy.
"Come over, let me tell you."
Lin Zifeng crooked his finger, and Liu Tangtang obediently leaned her ear closer.
"Bingbing, this time I’ve decided not to leave after returning home. Isn’t your group in need of a general manager now? Plus, I’ve just got a double master’s degree in finance and management. I’m back this time to help you. Rest assured, with me around, your Tianyu Group will surely regain its former glory!"
While speaking, the foreign man revealed his true feelings, and his pig-like hand slowly climbed onto Nangong Bing’s smooth shoulder. He acted as if nothing was amiss.
Thinking his sincere expression would surely touch Nangong Bing even a little.
But just as his pig-like hand was about to touch the woman’s smooth shoulder, a cup of boiling hot water unexpectedly appeared before him.
Without any warning, the foreign man’s hand touched that cup of scalding hot water, and though he didn’t react in the first second, the pain in the following second almost made him jump up.
The foreign man jumped up, his eyebrows instantly furrowed.
A look filled with deep hatred emerged.
"Mr. Bladder, I just wanted to pour you a glass of water."
Liu Tangtang’s moist eyes glistened as she spoke in a sweet voice.
"Pour a glass of water?"
"Yes, you’re a guest, of course, I should pour you a glass of water." Liu Tangtang replied innocently.
"Is this how your parents taught you?"
The foreign man glared, his face ashen, placing his red-hot finger in his mouth to cool off.
The feeling of rage without an outlet was driving him mad.
Nangong Bing glanced at Liu Tangtang, then fixed her gaze on the nearby Lin Zifeng, who was lazily eating an apple with a cigarette in his mouth.
Instantly, her anger flared up.
There was no need for words; she knew Lin Zifeng was definitely behind this.
Her charming eyes filled with fury as she glared at Lin Zifeng.
"Jack, are you alright?"
Nangong Bing said with a cold face. She didn’t use his Chinese name "Gao Yuan" just because his Chinese name was simply...
The foreign man glared fiercely at Liu Tangtang, eyes red, but thought better of arguing with her.
"Forget it, Bingbing, I’m too tired. I need to rest."
"Lin Zifeng, how’s the room you prepared?" Nangong Bing asked.
"Everything’s ready, awaiting anytime."
Lin Zifeng replied indifferently, his mischievous smile making Gao Yuan shrink his neck.
"Jack, I’m heading to Macau tomorrow. You should stay in Zhonghai and enjoy a few days with Liu Tangtang. We’ll discuss the general manager’s position when I return."
Gao Yuan pointed at Liu Tangtang, who looked like a ghoul with her makeup, and said dejectedly, "I think I’d better go to Macau with you."
"That’s fine, up to you." Nangong Bing thought for a moment and said, "Lin Zifeng, we’re heading to Macau tomorrow, so make sure Jack gets a good rest tonight. You don’t have anything scheduled for tomorrow, right?"
"Nope." Lin Zifeng replied.
Finishing her words with a cold face, Nangong Bing grabbed Liu Tangtang and shot a sharp glance at someone as she passed by, then went straight towards the second floor without looking back.
At this moment, the spacious lobby was left with just Lin Zifeng and Gao Yuan.
From the moment they met, they were destined to be rivals, not caring for each other one bit. Now in the living room, just the two of them remained, and they still had to face off in Macau tomorrow. Lin Zifeng was indifferent.
He wondered what Gao Yuan was thinking.
"Bodyguard, is the room ready?"
Lin Zifeng nodded with a smile, but in that moment of lowering his head, his eyes shot out substantial beams of sharp light, because just then, when close to Gao Yuan, the Magic Bracelet on his chest suddenly trembled more violently.
This was enough to prove that Gao Yuan was definitely not ordinary.
At least the reason for his disguise was beyond Lin Zifeng’s imagination.
Lin Zifeng tossed and turned, sitting cross-legged in the room trying to channel the vital energy within to break through to the Body Separation Realm Early Stage.
His body’s vital energy was already saturated, and to advance further, he’d need to break through the class barrier.
Meanwhile, in another room, a wiry silhouette stood by the window, a ray of moonlight elongating his shadow, his facial expression obfuscated as he held a Sanskrit Bible. His face was pious to the extreme, with deep hollow eyes fixed tightly outside the window. A perfect Western face slowly twisted into an eerie smile—
