Lin Shengtian tugged at his tie, feeling as if it was tied too tightly, making his mouth feel dry.
Seeing the little crybaby so heartbroken, Lin Shengtian finally couldn't resist and put his hand on the little crybaby's shoulder.
First, he patted Baozhu's shoulder, then hesitated to remove his hand after a couple of pats, so he simply put his hand on her shoulder and slowly pulled her close, letting her lean against him.
"Baozhu, if you want to cry, lean on Shengtian's shoulder and cry your heart out. After you've cried, you should be happy again. Don't be afraid anymore, Shengtian will be by your side."
Lin Shengtian didn't care that the little girl was young. He wasn't a good person to begin with, and the little crybaby had run into his arms on her own. Since she had gotten his attention, she wouldn't be able to escape. Even if she had to go to hell, she would have to go with him.
Tang Baozhu felt the hand patting her back and started to get a little restless, but that restlessness was very restrained.
She knew Lin Shengtian wouldn't escape her grasp. If it weren't for the fact that there were only six months left until the apocalypse, she really wouldn't want to rush into deciding who she would spend her next life with.
However, Lin Shengtian is indeed a very good person. Although he is a bit ruthless, according to Grandpa Tang, he is quite good to his neighbor, whom he used to treat like a younger sister. As for the future, that is uncertain.
Tang Baozhu had only been leaning against Lin Shengtian's chest for less than five minutes when she heard the doorbell ring.
Knowing that the professional manager had arrived, she quickly stood up from Lin Shengtian's arms and said apologetically to Lin Shengtian, "Brother Shengtian, thank you for comforting me. I suppose it's the manager who runs the company. I'll go and let him in right away."
Just then, Lin Shengtian's phone rang. He glanced at it and was surprised to see it was his grandfather calling. He simply nodded to Baozhu to indicate that he understood, and then quickly answered the phone.
"Hey, Grandpa, what's up?"
Tang Baozhu had incredibly sharp ears. Even when she was almost at the door, she could still hear Lin Shengtian and the old man talking. She knew that someone from her company wanted to take over, and she was thrilled. She was glad that the lousy manager had wasted his time and ended up with nothing.
She opened the door, looked at the middle-aged man outside, suppressed her impatience, and greeted him indifferently, "Hello, Uncle Gu."
Gu Chengen didn't care about Tang Baozhu's attitude. He knew that it was normal for the young girl to be in a bad mood because Old Master Tang had just passed away.
With the same warm attitude as always, she said, "Baozhu, please accept my condolences and don't be too sad. Take good care of yourself."
Tang Baozhu nodded indifferently, letting him come in by himself, and then returned to the living room to sit in the same spot as before.
When Gu Chengen saw that there was another person in the room, his heart skipped a beat. Although Tang Baozhu was easy to fool, the person next to her did not seem like the kind of person who could be easily fooled.
He could only put his plans on hold for the time being, and wait until the next time there were only the two of them before trying to trick Tang Baozhu into signing the document.
Lin Shengtian glanced at Gu Chengen. He was quite good at judging people. Although this man looked honest and kind, his eyes were a bit too lively. This kind of person was not someone that the little crybaby could handle. If Grandpa Tang were still here, there would be no need to worry about him being rebellious. But now that Grandpa Tang is gone, this man has started to become uncontrollably rebellious.
“I wonder what Mr. Gu wants to discuss with Baozhu? Baozhu doesn’t understand anything. Mr. Gu can tell me directly if there’s anything you need. I can offer Baozhu some advice.”
Lin Shengtian leaned back on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, one hand on his thigh, and the other on the sofa behind him, forming a posture that enveloped Baozhu in his arms.
Since they were all men, Gu Chengen immediately understood what he meant. However, people with heart conditions see everything as dirty. He himself wanted to take over Baozhu Company, so he felt that Lin Shengtian had the same idea as him.
His expression immediately darkened. "Sir, this is a matter for the Tang family. Aren't you being a bit presumptuous by doing this?"
Tang Baozhu certainly understood his attempt to sow discord, but since her current persona was that of a naive and innocent girl, she naturally wouldn't understand.
“Uncle Gu, Brother Shengtian is not an outsider. I don’t understand anything. With Brother Shengtian helping me, I feel more at ease.”
Gu Chengen was furious, while Lin Shengtian had a big smile on his face. It has to be said that at this moment, the little crybaby's words made him feel happy.
However, Gu Chengen felt that Lin Shengtian's smile gave off a smug and petty impression.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to get anything done today, he could only chat politely for a few minutes before taking his leave.
After everyone left, Tang Baozhu said a few words to Lin Shengtian like a delicate flower, "I don't know what Uncle Gu is in such a hurry. He just said on the phone that he wants me to sign an agreement to hand over all company affairs to him. I don't know what could be more urgent than this? He left before he even had time to say anything."
Tang Baozhu looked puzzled, and she was quite convincing. At least Lin Shengtian believed her. Perhaps in Lin Shengtian's eyes, his neighbor's sister was a spoiled girl who wasn't very bright, so he didn't doubt her words at all.
Knowing that Baozhu was incredibly naive and knew nothing, and reflecting on his own recent thoughts, he realized he needed to keep a closer eye on her in the future, lest she be deceived by someone else.
Lin Shengtian put his arm around Tang Baozhu's shoulder, and the two of them stood very close. He comforted her and said, "Maybe it's something important. Okay, let's not think about it too much. Grandpa just called and said he's found a buyer. The price he offered is pretty good. He asked me to ask you about it. If you don't have any objections, you can just sign the agreement and get the money."
Tang Baozhu pretended not to notice the hand on her shoulder, which was unconsciously massaging her shoulder. She nodded obediently, "Brother Shengtian, I believe in Grandpa Lin. The person he chose must be good. Just ask Grandpa Lin to arrange a time. I'll do whatever you say."
Although Lin Shengtian had dated girlfriends before, he had never dated one as well-behaved and adorable as this. Indeed, only a simple girl like this is suitable to marry.
Having made up my mind, it was time to prepare to launch an attack. I couldn't let someone else snatch the meat I wanted.
