Chapter 79

"Are you Deputy Minister Lin Zixian?"

Looking at the chat box, Lin Zixian, who had never played with this thing before, knew it must be Xiao Tong who had leaked his online name. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for so many people adding him to ask similar questions, and they were clearly all employees of the Minghua Group. What he didn't know was that over a thousand people worked in the Minghua Group headquarters building every day. This was still with many people not having access to computers or the internet, and some not knowing the news. Otherwise, even more people would have added him. Not everyone wanted to get close; many were just curious and tried adding him, of course, there were also those who wanted to improve their relationship with Deputy Minister Lin.

"Chat during work hours, and I'll complain and dock your bonus if you speak up."

After sending the same message one by one, the avatars soon dimmed one by one. Some hot-blooded young people who wanted to provoke him thought it wasn't safe. The company had a group of such experts. What if they found out? This Lin guy wasn't a good person. For the sake of his job, it was better to stay hidden.

But for those who did this, Lin Zixian directly kicked them out. He didn't have time to deal with so many people.

Just dealing with this kept him busy until almost quitting time. In the end, he found that there were still a few bold ones. Besides Xiao Tong, the avatars of Urban Beauty, Flower Lady, Upstairs and Downstairs, and Heart Blue were still bright and flashing.

He clicked on Urban Beauty: I'm Tong Yu'nan! (with a lecherous smile)

Lin Zixian was speechless. He didn't need to guess; it was Liu Yanzhi. He then clicked on Flower Lady: You just said I looked prettier, and now you want to complain? (with teary eyes).

Lin Zixian was a bit puzzled for a moment, then immediately remembered that he had flattered the general manager's secretary, Zhang Xiaohua, before. So he replied: Zhang Xiaohua?

The other side replied soon: Yes! So you really are Deputy Minister Lin! Haha! I won't talk anymore, the general manager is about to leave, I need to be busy for a while, we can chat when I have time.

He clicked on Upstairs and Downstairs, who was arrogant and confrontational: Why are you chatting during work hours?

Lin Zixian replied: Because this is a special account for communicating with the company's upper management. What's it to you?

Then he clicked on Heart Blue, who also had teary eyes: You cooked for me yesterday, and now you're turning your back on me? What a heartless and ungrateful man.

Lin Zixian was stunned for a moment and replied: Is it Ning Lan?

The other side immediately replied: Haha! It really is you! I won't talk anymore, the chairman is about to leave, I need to do a little work (kiss).

Upstairs and Downstairs replied again: Communicate with the company's upper management through QQ chat? I've never heard of this.

Deputy Minister Lin: Nonsense! You're not part of the upper management. By the way, who are you? If you have the guts, come and talk to me face to face.

Upstairs and Downstairs: I have no interest in seeing you, you pervert!!!

Deputy Minister Lin: Damn! Tell me who you are, or I'll kick you out.

The other side waited for a while. Just as Lin Zixian was about to kick him out, Upstairs and Downstairs said: Do you like the song 'With You'?

Lin Zixian's mouse paused, and he quickly typed: Who are you?

But the other side went offline and went invisible. Lin Zixian was speechless. In any case, he held back and didn't kick the other side. Seeing that it was already quitting time, he had to shut down and leave the office.

He came to the parking lot, lit a cigarette, and chatted with Hong Tao. He waited for Qiao Yun to finish work, and the convoy left the Minghua Group one after another.

On the way, Lin Zixian, holding the steering wheel, frowned from time to time. He was thinking about who 'Upstairs and Downstairs' was and why they knew he liked that song, or was it just a coincidence? Hmm! I'll try to get more information from him when I have the chance...

Qiao Yun's long eyelashes trembled slightly, looking out the window calmly. Occasionally, when she looked at the other side, she would glance at Lin Zixian in the rearview mirror. For the first time, she noticed that Lin Zixian was always frowning and looking puzzled. Her lips curled into a smile, which quickly disappeared.

The man and woman in the car, one in front and one in the back, each had their own thoughts, flowing in the bustling world...

Back at the Qiao family's villa on the hill, as soon as they got out of the car, they found that Zheng Longqing had come again, still in a white suit and red tie, entertaining Xiao Hua. Lin Zixian looked at the red sports car not far away and genuinely thought this guy was a bit weird, always in white or red.

He walked to the red sports car and patted it twice, saying, "President Zheng! Changed your car again?"

As soon as Zheng Longqing saw him, his pupils constricted. The scene at the taekwondo gym was still fresh in his mind. Not to mention the other's martial arts skills, but the marksmanship was truly terrifying.

As the saying goes, amateurs see the excitement, while professionals see the essence. The scene of Lin Zixian shooting was still fresh in his mind. When Lin Zixian held the gun, the gun didn't move at all when the bullet was fired. The gun seemed to be made of stone, as if there was no recoil.

After returning home that day, Zheng Longqing tried a few shots and found it impossible to achieve that. It wasn't that he couldn't control the recoil of the gun, but that the bullet always produced vibrations when it was fired. He then found a gun expert in the gang and described what he had seen.

The gun expert said: If this person has really reached the level you described, then he has truly achieved the unity of man and gun. He can shoot wherever he points, with terrifying firepower! I can't do that. Within 50 meters for a pistol and 100 meters for a rifle, he doesn't need to aim deliberately; he can shoot by feel. As long as he shoots, ordinary people can't dodge. So you'd better stay away from him and at least not let him have the chance to draw his gun... I want to see him when I have the chance!

In front of Qiao Yun and Xiao Hua, Zheng Longqing didn't want to show weakness. He nodded and smiled, "It's a waste for someone like Brother Lin to be a driver. If Brother Lin likes this car, I'll give it to you."

He had also indirectly asked Xiao Hua about Lin Zixian's background and learned that he was hired by Qiao Antian to specifically protect Qiao Yun and had even saved Qiao Antian's life.

This made him a bit depressed. It turned out that Qiao Antian had escaped that day because this guy was there. No wonder they didn't get anything despite so many people dying.

"I'm not interested in cars, but I am interested in smashing them, especially good cars. It feels great. You should try it sometime." Lin Zixian walked up to him with a grin, reached out a finger, and hooked his red tie, saying, "President Zheng is so rich, why don't you buy more clothes? Wearing the same outfit every day, aren't you afraid of the smell bothering our President Qiao?"

Zheng Longqing's smile stiffened slightly. He was afraid of Lin Zixian's gun, not Lin Zixian himself. He didn't think his martial arts skills were inferior to Lin Zixian's. He really wanted to scratch his forehead, as he hated it when someone touched him, especially his red tie. This had become his quirk, which Lin Zixian called weird.

However, with Qiao Yun and Xiao Hua present, he had to maintain his demeanor.

What Lin Zixian didn't know was that he was trying to provoke him, hoping to make him lose his temper so that he could beat him up in front of Qiao Yun and Xiao Hua. Even if he didn't kill him, he could at least cripple him, so he wouldn't show up in front of him again. After all, he wasn't a good person.

Unexpectedly, 'slap,' Xiao Hua slapped his wandering hand away, pretending to be angry, "Xiao Lin, how can you be so impolite?"

"Hehe! President Zheng is well-mannered and won't take a driver like me seriously," Lin Zixian laughed and moved to the side, knowing it wasn't appropriate to act.

Hearing him mock himself as a driver, Xiao Hua didn't have the heart to scold him anymore. Qiao Yun glanced at Lin Zixian twice but didn't say anything, just said, "I'll go change," and went inside.

Zheng Longqing, as if nothing had happened, continued to chat with Xiao Hua, showing his good manners.

When Qiao Yun came out again, a gust of wind blew, and her long black hair danced, sweeping over her exposed, snow-white shoulders. Her white long dress emphasized her firm chest, and the skirt fluttered, occasionally revealing her long legs. Her graceful figure, combined with her rare beauty, made her look like a fairy, making Zheng Longqing's eyes shine.

Not far away, Lin Zixian silently lit a cigarette. Qiao Yun, whether intentionally or unintentionally, met his somewhat angry gaze, then, at Zheng Longqing's invitation, lifted her skirt and got into the red sports car, leaving the Qiao family compound.

After the main person left, Xiao Hua finally had time to greet Lin Zixian. Lin Zixian was depressed, unhappy with the unequal treatment, and decided not to accompany her for a walk, finding an excuse to slip away.

He drove alone through the bustling city, feeling a bit unhappy, not wanting to go back so early. Unconsciously, he drove to the riverside.

After getting out of the car, he lit a cigarette and walked down the steps to the riverside. He accidentally saw a familiar figure sitting alone on the steps, the surging river only a meter away.

"How does this look like Qin Yue?" Lin Zixian muttered, couldn't help but walk down, and when he got close, he saw it was indeed Qin Yue, holding her phone and crying silently.

Lin Zixian looked at the surging river, then at her, threw his cigarette, and quickly pulled her up, exclaiming, "Qin Yue, don't think too much! A three-legged toad is hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. It's not worth it for Xia Qiu."

"Brother Lin?" Qin Yue looked surprised, not expecting to run into him here. Hearing his words, it seemed he was worried she might do something drastic for Xia Qiu. She wiped her tears and said, laughing and crying, "Brother Lin misunderstood, I'm not that fragile."

Lin Zixian breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her, pointing to her tear-streaked face and asked, "Then what does this mean?"

Qin Yue looked at the surging river, her face bitter, "I'm just a bit sad. What I thought was eternal turned out to be just a dream... Today is my birthday, and usually, Xia Qiu would celebrate with me... Just now, my father called me, wishing me a happy birthday, and I agreed to go home."
