Chapter Thirteen: The Game Begins



In the ensuing dinner, Ling Shen took the initiative. Old Master Mo had never liked fighting and intended to talk with Qian Sui. Qian Sui's words were full of Zen-like wisdom and her logic was clear. The young girl had a clear voice and her laughter was very pleasant. She made the old man laugh heartily with just a few words.

Qian Sui's performance exceeded Ling Shen's expectations. Although he knew from the beginning that this girl was not so simple, as an atheist, he did not really believe in these superstitious things. However, Qian Sui's performance just now truly impressed Ling Shen.

This girl is something else.

After calming down Old Master Mo with the help of Qian Sui, Ling Shen began to deal with those who had framed him behind his back and stirred up trouble.

The private room was a bit noisy. It was rare for the old man to find someone he could chat with so easily, so he naturally didn't stop. He went into the small private room at the back with Qian Sui, leaving Ling Shen and Lu Jiayan to face this room full of all sorts of strange and wonderful people.

This was exactly what Ling Shen wanted.

Although Qian Sui managed to appease Old Master Mo, the old master remained dissatisfied with his behavior and conduct, and he didn't want to leave any ammunition for the old master to criticize.

While the old man was chatting with Qian Sui, Ling Shen turned around and looked at the group of people, saying, "Shouldn't we settle our differences?"

These people didn't dare to face Ling Shen directly, only daring to play dirty tricks behind his back. They only dared to meet Ling Shen now because of Old Master Mo. They originally thought that Old Master Mo's anger would be enough to diminish Ling Shen's sharpness, but unexpectedly, the little girl that Ling Shen brought made Old Master Mo happy in an instant.

Faced with Ling Shen's oppressive questioning, the man was clearly flustered. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, feeling a chill in his heart.

"Mr. Ling..." He stammered, "I think there must be some misunderstanding..."

Ling Shen wasn't in a hurry. He leaned back in his chair, raised an eyebrow slightly, and exuded an aura of authority without anger: "I'd like to hear what misunderstandings are involved."

Those people looked at each other, unable to come up with a good solution. Faced with Ling Shen's overwhelming aura, the person in charge, Mr. Zhang, couldn't hold on any longer. He gritted his teeth and admitted, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, we will never dare to do it again."

The frog at the bottom of the well, having gained temporary power, thinks it can fight against the sharks swimming in the ocean, but in reality it is just like throwing an egg against a rock.

If it weren't for saving face for Old Master Mo, Ling Shen wouldn't have personally stepped forward.

Now that the matter is resolved, it's time to hand it over to someone else.

Ling Shen crossed his two long legs. Although those people were standing in front of him, they always felt as if Ling Shen was being worshipped. Those people looked at each other, their legs going weak.

Ling Shen propped his head up with one hand and said lazily, "Although this didn't cause me much loss, you guys definitely made me unhappy..."

Those people were so shocked that they broke out in a cold sweat.

Ling Shen actually enjoyed this process of surrounding and annihilating his prey, taking it step by step, and watching the other party slowly break down.

A smile played on his lips. The game had begun.

Lu Jiayan, standing to the side, smiled subtly.

Although I've been working for his CEO for several years, I'm still a little unaccustomed to his abnormal behavior.

Yes, when it comes to bizarre methods, if his CEO admits to being second, no one dares to claim to be first.

After sending Mr. Zhang and his party away, Ling Shen was called into a private room by Old Master Mo.

There were only two seats in the private room. Qian Sui and Old Master Mo were seated, so Ling Shen could only wait on the side.

Lu Jiayan was terrified. No matter how capable the little girl was, she couldn't let their president wait on the side like a subordinate. Lu Jiayan was about to go outside to find a chair to sit down, but Ling Shen waved his hand and stopped him.

The two of them stood there waiting for a long time before Grandpa Mo finally stopped.

He gestured to his entourage to take out the Buddhist prayer beads that Ling Shen had given him earlier. They opened the exquisitely crafted and expensive box, revealing the prayer beads inside. Old Master Mo reached out and took the prayer beads out, saying, "Young Ling, if it weren't for Qian Sui, do you think I would even bother with you this time?"

Ling Shen stood to the side, repeatedly saying yes, and placed his hand affectionately on Qian Sui's shoulder, saying, "Qian Sui has indeed helped me a lot."

Grandpa Mo took out the Buddhist prayer beads and, remembering what Ling Shen had just said—that the beads were chosen by Qian Sui—said to Qian Sui, "Qian Sui's eye is indeed excellent; these prayer beads are certainly not ordinary."

Qian Sui looked at the string of Buddhist beads. At first glance, he didn't think much of it, but after looking at it again, he realized it was just a string of beads.

Um?

It looks somewhat familiar.

She looked at it a third time, and it did look very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Before Qian Sui could think any further, Old Master Mo was about to discuss the project with Ling Shen, so Lu Jiayan took Qian Sui out.

Qian Sui was led out by Lu Jiayan. When they reached the door, she suddenly remembered that Ling Shen had promised her that if she helped him, he would tell her his birth date and time. Now that the matter was resolved, Ling Shen should tell her.

Ling Shen understood what Qian Sui meant by that look, so he smiled and coaxed her, "Little Qian Sui, be good, you go out first, I'll give it to you later."

Grandpa Mo, unaware of any deal between the two, saw everything and simply thought they were interacting affectionately. He smiled with satisfaction. After Qian Sui left, he said to Ling Shen, "You've always been unreliable. Qian Sui is a patient person. You'd better treat her well in the future."

Ling Shen poured tea for the old man. Upon hearing this, his eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't reply. In the old man's eyes, this was considered tacit consent.

On the other side, Lu Jiayan led Qian Sui to wait outside.

Qian Sui couldn't sit still and refused to stay in the private room, so Lu Jiayan took her to stroll in the garden outside the restaurant.

Originally, Lu Jiayan had been following Qian Sui, but not long after they left, Lu Jiayan received a call from the company. He told Qian Sui that he had to take the call and that she should not wander off and should just stand there to answer it.

Chitose nodded and then played by herself on the side.

She had just come down the mountain and was very curious about everything, touching here and looking there, just like a child who had just come into this world.

Lu Jiayan glanced at it a few times and said helplessly, "President Ling has picked up a child."

The person on the other end of the phone was reporting on the company's project when Lu Jiayan suddenly said this, and asked, "What?"

Lu Jiayan then realized his lapse in composure and began to answer the phone seriously: "It's nothing, please continue."

Although Qian Sui promised Lu Jiayan that she would not run around anymore, she was playful and soon forgot what Lu Jiayan said, running to a more distant place.

She got into big trouble the moment she ran out of Lu Jiayan's sight.

The master who was just kicked out was very resentful that Qian Sui had ruined his livelihood. Moreover, after he was kicked out, he was also scolded by Boss Zhang. He couldn't swallow his anger, so he stayed here to vent his anger.

He hid in the shadows, watching Qian Sui approach little by little, and sneered, "Little girl, if I don't teach you a lesson this time, you'll really think I'm easy to bully."
