Chapter 273 Everything is caused by fate
At 5 p.m., the blessing ceremony officially began. The temple master chanted in front of the incense burner for about half an hour before concluding. Then, the Li family members came forward one by one to burn incense.
What surprised Lin Shutang was that after Li Guangsong finished offering incense, the next person to come forward was Li Yansheng.
Li Yansheng glanced over, motioning for her to join him. Lin Shutang stared at him for a few seconds, hesitated, and then stepped forward.
Li Guangsong looked unhappy when he saw this, but considering that there were many outsiders around, he didn't say anything in the end.
Seeing this, several nearby shareholders began to speculate about Lin Shutang's identity. They had long known that Li Yansheng was accompanied by a young girl, but they had only seen her from a distance before. Today, they finally saw her up close.
She was indeed young and beautiful, no wonder Li Yansheng liked her. With a look and age like her, there were probably few men in the world who wouldn't like her.
Regarding the fact that Li Yansheng and Lin Shutang were together, most of the company's shareholders were in a wait-and-see state, not caring much. They were businessmen, and profit was their top priority.
As long as Li Yansheng can bring them the greatest benefit, they don't care what he does, nor who he's in a relationship with. As long as it doesn't affect their interests, they will continue to support him. But if one day, Li Yansheng's actions affect their interests, they will push him out without hesitation.
The blessing ceremony ended around six, almost five. As the company's top executive, Li Yansheng's outward appearances were impeccably thorough. After the other shareholders left, he stayed back to chat with the temple master. This was both reverence and human connection.
The conversation mostly revolved around the company's development over the coming year. Near the end, the master glanced off in the distance, and then, as if he had just seen Lin Shutang, he suddenly spoke, "Everything is caused by fate. Donors Li and Lin, benefactors, be very good. You may encounter some problems, but they will be resolved in the end."
Li Yansheng didn't really believe these things, but he was a little surprised by the master's sudden words. He stopped and looked in Lin Shutang's direction. The little girl was squatting in front of the flower bed, looking at something, her lips moving from time to time, looking very absorbed.
Li Yansheng chuckled unconsciously and said, "Thank you."
Then he said goodbye to his master and walked towards Lin Shutang.
When Li Yansheng approached, Li Sheng was standing next to Lin Shutang. Li Yansheng heard him say, "Such a handsome guy is standing next to you, and you're looking at ants instead. What's so interesting about that?"
After Li Sheng finished speaking, seeing that Lin Shutang ignored him, he turned around and wanted to stand next to Lin Shutang, and then he saw Li Yansheng out of the corner of his eye.
He looked up at Li Yansheng, forced a smile, called him "Big Brother", and then left quickly.
When Lin Shutang heard this, he turned around and met Li Yansheng's smiling gaze.
She curved her eyebrows and asked, "Is it over?"
Li Yansheng reached out and pulled her up: "Yeah."
It was probably because he squatted for too long that he developed orthostatic hypotension. After Lin Shutang stood up, his eyes went dark and he was a little unsteady.
So, she didn't let go of Li Yansheng's hand immediately, but just stood there using the strength of Li Yansheng.
Li Yansheng noticed her discomfort and put an arm around her shoulders, letting her lean on him. After a while, he said, "Are you feeling better?"
The even vibrations traveled from his chest to Lin Shutang's eardrums, making a buzzing sound, and the tone was very gentle.
Lin Shutang stood up and looked at him: "Much better."
