Upon hearing Wan Ya's reply, Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "The little girl is too naive. Your father owns more than one property."

Then, Wan Ya led Lin Dong from the third floor to the first floor, and even took him to the front yard.

Lin Dong went from being excited at the beginning to losing interest, and could only respond casually to Wan Ya's enthusiasm.

"Lin Dong, let's go upstairs to the living room. I'll introduce you to my friend."

Wan Ya took Lin Dong on a tour of the villa, seemingly finally remembering her main purpose for the trip: to show Lin Dong off to her friends.

Before Lin Dong arrived, Wan Ya praised him to all her friends, practically begging him to win the Nobel Prize.

Lin Dong nodded indifferently. To be honest, he had no interest in Wan Ya and these little brats who hadn't even grown up yet.

Now that it was confirmed that the Wan family was not the location where Wanqing Mountain hid its gold, Lin Dong lost interest in the place.

However, the act should be played out completely; at least wait until everyone else has finished cutting the birthday cake before leaving.

Upon reaching the second-floor living room, Wan Ya excitedly pulled Lin Dong aside and solemnly recounted Lin Dong's deeds to her friends, who were around eighteen or nineteen years old.

In short, he's handsome and a good fighter.

For girls in their late teens or early twenties, who are just beginning to experience the stirrings of love, their current standards for choosing a partner are still quite immature.

For my ideal boyfriend, money doesn't matter; talent, style, and good looks are the most important things.

Of course, being able to fight is definitely a big plus when it comes to boyfriend appeal.

Especially in the 1990s, it was even sought after by countless young girls.

Think about how popular the "Once Upon a Time in China" and "Young and Dangerous" series were back then.

"Lin Dong, I won't introduce them one by one. You should recognize this one, Tong Lele. You saved her at the bar that day, hehe."

Wan Ya affectionately hugged the girl next to her, who had a pretty face but still exuded youthful energy.

"Tong Lele?"

Lin Dong took a closer look and found that the face did look familiar. The bar was dimly lit that night, so he hadn't paid much attention.

Well, among Wan Ya's friends, only Tong Lele has the most outstanding appearance and a well-developed figure. At such a young age, her chest is already quite well-proportioned, and even a thick black sweater cannot hide it.

No wonder the wealthy young master, who had been with countless women, fought so fiercely over her that night.

When Tong Lele saw Lin Dong staring at her, her face flushed red, and her heart pounded like a deer.

"Lin Dong, Lele is the campus belle of Nanjing University, and also a very talented woman. She is proficient in all kinds of arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Oh, and her father is the president of Nanjing University."

Ignoring the mournful looks from the girls around her, Wan Ya kept introducing her best friend.

"Tong Jianlin, the president of Nanjing University?"

Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise.

"You know my dad?"

Tong Lele put away her shy expression and was quite surprised.

"I don't know him, but I've read his interview in the newspaper, haha."

Lin Dong genuinely didn't recognize this Nanjing University president. His strong reaction just now stemmed from a news report he had inadvertently seen in his previous life:

Three years later, in 1999, Tong Jianlin, the renowned president of Nanjing University, was accused by name of corruption and abuse of power.

It was later confirmed that Tong Jianlin had embezzled and accepted bribes totaling more than 160 million yuan, setting a record for the largest corruption case in China's education sector.

Although it's still a long way from fattening up this big fish, Lin Dong certainly won't let the opportunity to play the long game slip by easily.

"Tong Lele, is Nanjing University fun?"

Lin Dong didn't mince words and decided to get straight to the point, sitting down next to Tong Lele.

As Lin Dong approached, Tong Lele's face turned even redder, and her heart raced faster.

"Isn't it fun? Anyway, it's quite big. Lin Dong, do you want to come to Nanjing University? When?"

"Are you welcome?"

"Of course you're welcome! When are you coming to Nanjing University? I can be your tour guide..."

By the way, the peach blossoms by Jiazi Lake at Nanjing University will be in full bloom by early March; it'll be absolutely gorgeous! Lin Dong, you really have to come.

"Okay, I'll come find you then."

Lin Dong laughed. Uh, could he be considered the Big Bad Wolf who tricked Little Red Riding Hood?

"Lin Dong, I'll write down my home phone number for you."

Tong Lele excitedly stood up and rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for paper and pens.

However, they didn't notice Wan Ya sitting on the sofa, glaring at the two of them with murderous eyes, her little mouth pouting high, looking resentful.

...

Tong Lele

At 7 p.m., Wan Ya's birthday party officially began.

Wan Qingshan lost his wife early in life and never remarried. He only had this one daughter in the second half of his life, which he naturally doted on.

Mr. Wan, who dotes on his daughter, immediately gifted her a yellow 1994 McLaren F1 supercar as a 1994 birthday present.

Ah, the world of the super-rich is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, Lin Dong guessed that the car was most likely smuggled from Hong Kong Island. With Lao Wan's extensive connections, getting a legal license plate locally would be a piece of cake.

Next was Ghost Hand Mo Huan, whose birthday gift on behalf of President Lu of the Cloud Shadow Society was an extremely valuable imperial green jade pendant.

When a big shot makes a move, it naturally exudes an extraordinary aura.

Lin Dong was puzzled. Why would the number one gang in Nandu suddenly pay so much attention to Wan Qi, a second-rate force?

They even went so far as to send a veteran figure to the scene? Lin Dong absolutely doesn't believe there's nothing fishy about this.

In addition to a precious jade pendant, Yunying Society also sent a beech root carving. The carving was not large, about three feet tall, and depicted a soaring eagle.
