Chapter 186 Compromise



Zhou Huaijing is a difficult person.

Just like a wolf, once it bites, it won't let go.

Any details that didn't fit her current personality were seen as a sign of suspicion in his eyes.

“If you want to know my whereabouts, shouldn’t you tell me yours too?

What are you doing in Beijing? Are you going back to Beijing to report on your work?"

Hu Lin put down his chopsticks and teased, with a tit-for-tat tone in his words.

"My whereabouts are confidential and I cannot disclose it to you." Zhou Huaijing said righteously.

Hu Lin laughed sarcastically.

For a moment, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Only the soup in the copper pot was boiling, making a bubbling sound.

"Big shot." Hu Lin said sarcastically, "You'd better not listen to the affairs of ordinary people like us, so as not to pollute your ears."

There is an element of irony in the words.

After all, he is their family's benefactor. Is this the tone you use to talk to a benefactor?

"I am just speaking the truth. Besides, it is you who asks me for help."

He has been arrogant for so many years, and even though things are different now, not everyone can challenge him.

Furthermore, he himself has outstanding abilities. At a young age, he has already reached a level that others cannot reach in their entire lives.

Why should he bow his head and compromise?

"Really? Didn't you ask me? Besides, I have money, so I don't need to beg you."

Hu Lin smiled provocatively.

No matter who he is, he has to keep it to herself.

In the face of great kindness, he had to submit.

Sure enough, Zhou Huaijing clenched his cheeks, stared at her without blinking, and his muscles were tense, as if he would explode and hurt someone at any time.

No one has dared to play tricks on him since he was a child.

Hu Lin looked at Zhou Huaijing's depressed look, raised his eyebrows, and was in a good mood.

Knowing that he would not talk to her anymore, she picked up her chopsticks and happily started eating.

By the way, she hasn't eaten mutton for many years, so she needs to eat more.

Anyway, there are suckers who pay the money.

If she were alone, she would never come to such a place to spend money.

Now is the time for her to make money, not the time to enjoy life.

Seeing Hu Lin eating and drinking as if nothing had happened, Zhou Huaijing felt depressed for a while, then started eating too, without talking to Hu Lin anymore.

The dishes were served one after another.

There were four dishes and they finished most of them without wasting anything.

After the meal, the previous tit-for-tat atmosphere between the two dissipated.

After the meal, Hu Lin sipped his tea and said casually, "Do you know how your father is doing?"

Since in Zhou Huaijing's heart, she has always had bad intentions, there is no need for her to save her image.

Let's get straight to the point.

If you're not interested in him, why spend so much time on him?

Anyway, Zhou Huaijing can't do anything to her.

When Zhou Huaijing heard this, he paused while picking up the teacup to drink, looked at Hu Lin and asked, "What do you mean?"

Hu Lin looked at Mingming, who was confused and worried, but had to pretend to be calm and not reveal any flaws in front of her. She was not in a hurry to reply, but smiled confidently.

She read the letters that the Zhou family wrote to Zhou Huaijing several times, and naturally knew that they did not tell Zhou Huaijing about his father's situation.

Zhou Huaijing frowned unhappily when he saw Hu Lin keeping him hanging.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Hu Lin slowly said, "My uncle's old injury recurred during the autumn harvest last year. Now he can only survive by relying on painkillers every day."

Seeing Zhou Huaijing's face gradually becoming ugly, Hu Lin's mood brightened.

Zhou Huaijing is only in his teens, so it is easy to control him.

It’s good not to have to pretend!

"The village doctor said that he can't cure it. If we can get my uncle's medical records, we can try."

Hu Lin said, stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality."

After saying that, she slipped away before Zhou Huaijing could come to his senses.

Zhou Huaijing's attitude made her not want to solve the matter all at once.

She wanted him to have a taste of what it felt like to ask someone to do something for her.

It's about his father's illness, and he's the one who can't wait.

When Zhou Huaijing came to his senses and went to look for Hu Lin, he was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Huaijing stood at the door of the hotel, looking at the snowy streets outside, his eyes narrowed.

It only took two or three minutes.

Hu Lin's speed was too fast.

They ate on the second floor and had to go up and down the stairs.

Even if you run, it's impossible to disappear without a trace.

However, the fact is that Hu Lin took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the corridor on the second floor, climbed out the window, stepped on the eaves, and walked into the deserted alley.

Making people anxious and angry also requires skill.

Hu Lin curled the corners of his mouth slightly and started walking around.

The money for the business was with Hu Jun, and she only had a thousand yuan and some bills on her, which was enough for her to squander.

In the next few days, Zhou Huaijing came to the hotel to look for Hu Lin whenever he had time, but he always came back empty-handed.

Once or twice, he could say that he was just unlucky.

But he clearly asked the front desk to pass on the message, but Hu Lin still turned a blind eye.

Obviously, she did it on purpose.

Hide from him, walk with him.

In this case, he had no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures.

*

After wandering around Beijing for a few days, the day arrived for the meeting with Hu Jun as scheduled.

To be on the safe side, Hu Lin made an appointment to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant.

If you want to eat at the restaurants that still exist in Beijing, not only is the cost high, you also have to be qualified.

With her current status, the cost to obtain those qualifications is too high.

Overall, it's just not cost-effective.

Moreover, now it is a public-private partnership, and the business she wants to do is not feasible now.
