When the boss said this, Wang Kegui hesitated for a moment, then spoke again after a while: "You’re right, big brother. Last time the old man was impulsive, and we can’t let anything fall into his hands now. So, how about this, we first offer Lin Yuan some small money. That bastard came up with this just for money, so let’s see if we can drown him in it."

The elder brother of the Wang Family nodded calmly: "Alright, let’s arrange a meeting and find out what his interests are."

Wang Kegui smirked, his smile carrying a hint of ambiguity. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Lin Yuan is much younger than the old man, and it’s said he’s quite the womanizer, so perhaps...

As he laughed like this, Wang Kefu understood and chuckled, "By the way, I heard a female artist has arrived in Beicheng recently, quite popular among the elites. Why don’t we call her in? Lin Yuan might take a liking to her."

Wang Kegui glanced at his elder brother, "You’re quite well-informed in this area."

He paused and then asked, "Have you also had anything with that female artist?"

The elder brother of the Wang Family sat down on the chair, his expression somewhat intriguing, and after a moment, he touched his nose: "Spent a million, quite worth it."

Wang Kegui didn’t say anything, but the matter was decided.

That day, they arranged a dinner with Lin Yuan at a club.

Lin Yuan agreed and showed up at eight in the evening, bringing a personal secretary into the private room.

The room was quite lively, in addition to the Wang brothers, there were several notable figures from Jiangcheng and two or three pretty girls.

Lin Yuan glanced over and his gaze paused for a few seconds on one of them.

It was none other than Shen Wanqing.

Wang Kefu noticed Lin Yuan’s expression and introduced with a smile: "Uncle Lin, this is Miss Shen, quite famous in Beicheng."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan smiled and sat down comfortably. Just as he took out a cigarette, Wang Kefu adeptly lit it for him.

Lin Yuan took a puff of the cigarette and then said: "I’ve been in Beicheng for so long, yet I haven’t met her."

His long, clean fingers lightly tapped the table, Shen Wanqing smiled slightly and sat down.

She felt a bit uneasy, only now realizing she was supposed to accompany Lin Yuan tonight. Having mingled with Jiang Chaoge for some time, she knew Lin Yuan was actually one of the Bo Family, which meant he was one of Gu Anxi’s associates. She didn’t want Gu Anxi to know about her current situation.

She was making some small money selling paintings, but once she entered this circle, she realized that without sufficient capital, you can only linger on the outside. Without anyone promoting your paintings, you can only ever sell them for a few thousand.

So, she navigated among different men, and there were always those willing to spend tens or hundreds of thousands to show support. Lin Yuan, actually, was a pretty good choice—powerful, influential, not too old, quite good-looking, and elegant.

When she sat down, Wang Kefu’s gaze was a bit suggestive, after all, she was a woman he had encountered before. However, in front of Lin Yuan, he pretended as if nothing happened...

Lin Yuan smoked and casually asked: "Miss Shen, you’re not in Beicheng, what brings you here?"

Wang Kefu conveyed on her behalf: "Miss Shen is actually from Qingcheng, and, Mr. Lin, you should have some impression, she grew up together with Anxi."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes somewhat brighter, and then said, "Then she must be quite young, I remember Anxi is just 21."

"Yes, yes, coincidentally, they even share the same birthday," the elder brother of the Wang Family shamelessly added.
