She's quite pretty, and her personality is exceptionally good, a hundred times better than Lingshan. Not only can she do all the housework, but she also has an intermediate accounting certificate; truly outstanding. If you're interested, I can introduce her to you."

"What's the reason?" Lin Beichen asked.

"I hope you can leave Lingshan alone." Lan Zihua said.

"Leave her alone?" Lin Beichen laughed, "Saying that makes it sound as if I've done something to her. It's her who's always coming to me; can you figure out the situation or not?"

"If you just reject her a few times, why would she keep coming to you?" Lan Zihua said matter-of-factly.

Lin Beichen looked Lan Zihua up and down and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"What?" Lan Zihua didn't quite react.

"If you're not sick, why do you interfere? Even if there's really something between me and Su Lingshan, it's completely reasonable; it's none of your business. What right do you have to meddle?"

"How is it none of my business? I'm telling you..." Lan Zihua was so angry her chest was heaving, and she wanted to say more, but Lin Beichen interrupted her.

"Alright, is there anything else? If not, get out of the car. I'm allergic to pollen; if you stay longer, I'll have to wash the car." Lin Beichen said impatiently.

...

Although the two had a bit of an unpleasant argument, Lan Zihua eventually sent the female secretary over.

Just as Lan Zihua said, this secretary was indeed outstanding, with a first-class figure and appearance.

If a hundred is a perfect score, Lin Beichen could give her seventy-five.

Don't ask why it's only seventy-five, because Lin Beichen has very high standards.

He glanced at the woman wearing a short skirt and black stockings sitting in the front passenger seat, reached over and said, "I'm Lin Beichen, from Shuang Muling."

"I'm Ren Sisi, you can just call me Sisi, President Lin." Ren Sisi smiled shyly.

The noon sunlight streamed through the car window onto half of her face, creating a play of light and shadow, making her skin look like water.

This smile was as bright as a flower; if any other man saw it, he'd probably be smitten and willingly fall under her spell.

Unfortunately, Lin Beichen is not like most people. What kind of beauties hasn't he seen? He's naturally resistant, merely glanced at her a couple more times without making any other move.

"Can you drive?" he asked.

"Drive if you can; I'm not familiar with Pineapple Bay."

"I'll nap for a while; wake me when we get there."

After they switched seats, Lin Beichen left this beautiful woman alone and directly closed his eyes for a nap. If someone else saw this, they'd probably scold him as a straight man.

...

According to Lan Zihua's information, Roger's confidant Chen Xiongwu is hiding in Copper Bay. The exact address is unknown, but people frequently see him at the Red Rose Bar in Copper Bay.

This Red Rose Bar is quite ordinary, just a regular small bar with moderate patronage and average décor.

The drinks are all average, but the prices are marked up several times. The music is noisy, and the lights make people dizzy.

Overall, there's nothing special about this place. If it weren't for Chen Xiongwu hiding here, Lin Beichen would never come to a place like this in his life.

It's not really about dislike; the main problem is the severe light pollution here, and the noise is more overwhelming than that at celebratory events in the countryside. Lin Beichen wonders if staying here too long will affect his hearing.

"Are you okay?" he asked Ren Sisi.

"No, I'm fine." Ren Sisi replied.

It seemed like this was her first time in such a place and she felt a bit unadjusted. Lin Beichen couldn't directly drag her along to find out Chen Xiongwu's whereabouts.

He helped Ren Sisi to a relatively quiet corner to sit down.

At that moment, a woman with well-developed pectoral muscles came over, for mouth covered, pointing at Ren Sisi and exclaimed, "Sisi, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't expect this at all, our spotless white lotus actually comes to such a place. What's wrong? Stayed in heaven too long, decided to come down to earth and experience life?" One of that woman's companions sneered.

From these words, it seemed that Ren Sisi wasn't faring well in the company, at least her colleague relations were not very harmonious.

But these concerns had nothing to do with Lin Beichen; he didn't intervene, just sat next to Ren Sisi with a drink, sipping it leisurely.

The drink wasn't particularly good, just diluted cheap alcohol; expecting it to taste good was a joke. However, the people were nice, pleasing to the eye, and enjoying the beauty made it somewhat tasteful.

Unfortunately, before he could savor it more, a guy with green-dyed hair barged over, disrupting this pleasing scene.

"Lingling, who's this beauty?" Green Hair asked Lingling while pointing at Ren Sisi.

His eyes were fixed on Ren Sisi as he asked, and anyone could see the heat in his eyes.

"Brother Huo, this is my colleague Ren Sisi."

Lingling pulled her closer, pointing at Brother Huo and said, "Sisi, hurry up and say hi to Brother Huo."

"I don't know him, why should I say hi?" Ren Sisi rolled her eyes. "Also, we're not close, so don't act so familiar."

Lingling was immediately annoyed, clenched her fists ready to lash out, but given Brother Huo's presence beside her, she forced herself to suppress the anger.

She looked at Ren Sisi with a cold smile, based on her understanding of Brother Huo, any woman he's set his sights on would definitely end up in his hands, and the outcome would often be tragic.

She's waiting for Ren Sisi to come begging her.

"So it's Sisi?" Brother Huo chuckled, pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Ren Sisi, "I think you're quite nice, fits my taste. So..."

He flicked his thumb, and the wooden box instantly opened, revealing a jade pendant inside.

From the jade pendant's texture and appearance, it seemed quite valuable.

Those who knew good quality stuff gasped; such high-quality jade with craftsmanship like this is probably worth several tens of thousands.
