Chapter 22 Blind Date

"Boss, do we need to go to the hospital now?"

Li Yansheng didn't say anything. He opened the car door, leaned on the hood and lit a cigarette for himself.

Amidst the flickering sparks, he exhaled a puff of smoke and looked up to see that the lights were on on the third floor. A slender figure was reflected on the light-colored curtains.

Li Yansheng put out his unfinished cigarette and got into the car. He glanced at his sleeping niece and said, "Send Xiaoling home first, then go to the company."

"Okay." Fanszhuo turned the car around and calculated the time in his mind.

I was supposed to go back to the office after dinner this evening, but I spent over forty minutes dining with my boss's niece and Miss Lin, and another twenty minutes walking Miss Lin back. It takes about another half an hour to get to Chen's house, and then from there to the office. It looks like I'll have to work overtime tonight.

Upstairs, Lin Shutang watched the car leave the unit door, then turned around and sat on the bed.

The screen on the right was still on, and on it was a chat record with Zhao Lanzhi from two minutes ago. The content was that Lin Shutang said that the meeting time tomorrow afternoon would be changed to nine o'clock in the morning.

After leaving the Feng family, Zhao Lanzhi's previous disguises disappeared.

Not long after receiving the news, he called and scolded Lin Shutang, asking her why she changed the time.

Lin Shutang didn't want to argue with her. After listening to her scolding for a few words, he hung up the phone without saying a word.

After Zhao Lanzhi called several times without success, she angrily sent a text message to Lin Shutang: [You are just like your mother, only causing trouble for others.]

It doesn't say that the time cannot be changed.

Looking at the last message sent by Zhao Lanzhi on the screen, Lin Shutang suddenly felt a little annoyed and didn't want to continue to be entangled with the Feng family like this.

She opened the browser for some unknown reason and typed in the three words "Li Yansheng".

A lot of content popped up below, mostly gossip about wealthy families. But what was certain was that Li Yansheng was a member of the Gangcheng Li family and the current head of the Shangli Group.

Search for Shangli Group on the Internet, and the third item you scroll down is the official website.

After clicking in, there is only one sentence on the homepage - Aim for the peak and break boundaries as the norm.

Going down further, there are the company's founding history, the financial report for the first quarter of this year, and business projects.

The first item in the financial report reads: "Rui Ding Project - As of March 30, 2025, 94% of the first phase of Rui Ding has been sold..."

Lin Shutang didn't read the rest of the content, and jumped to the browser to search for the world's top 100 companies, and finally found Shangli Group at 11th place.

Such a leading position, and this is just one of the Li companies. There are many well-known companies under the Li family that are not counted. No wonder so many people want to get in touch with Li Yansheng as soon as he came to Beijing.

That night, Lin Shutang had a rare good sleep and slept until he woke up naturally.

I glanced at the time, it was 8:20. When I finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, it was already 8:40.

Zhao Lanzhi called again. After Lin Shutang answered the phone, he turned on the hands-free mode, casually threw the phone on the table and went to change his clothes.

"Have you arrived yet?"

Lin Shutang didn't say anything. Zhao Lanzhi was very angry, but she couldn't do anything to her since she was not around.

Hearing the rustling sound, he guessed that she might not have left the house yet, so he suppressed the urge to get angry and said, "Pick something nice. Don't go out dressed like a beggar. It would be embarrassing for the Feng family if someone saw you."

Lin Shutang didn't respond, but she ignored him and continued, "The address has changed. I sent it to you last night. Don't go to the wrong place."

At 8:50, Lin Shutang went out.

She called an online taxi, and her phone indicated it would take about 25 minutes to reach her destination. As she was almost there, Zhao Lanzhi sent her a photo of someone she was supposed to meet. Lin Shutang then realized that her request for a blind date was a lie.

I’m posting the photos now just to prevent her from not going.

[The other person comes from a wealthy family and is about your age. I had a hard time getting them to agree to meet you. Please don't let them down.]

Lin Shutang pretended not to see this.
