The man in the suit was angered by Lin Bai’s words.
“You’re not welcome in our company! Get lost!”
The receptionist saw that the situation was not good and quickly explained.
“Assistant Wang, Mr. Lin is here to discuss something with President Ling.”
The implication was very obvious. It was to remind Assistant Wang not to go too far.
It was not his place to make things difficult for the person that President Ling wanted to see.
The man in the suit was stunned. He sized up Lin Bai and asked in disbelief, “You are the person that President Ling wants to see? The owner of the Yunding Villa?!”
Lin Bai did not expect that he actually knew what he and Ling Xuewei wanted to talk about. It seemed that this guy was quite trusted by Ling Xuewei.
But so what if he knew?
He was just an assistant with a low status so he could not overstep his authority and refuse to cooperate on Ling Xuewei’s behalf.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai smiled coldly and said arrogantly, “It’s me. What’s wrong? Do you have any objections?”
Assistant Wang’s face was almost pale from holding his anger in.
Lin Bai could not be bothered to continue talking nonsense with him. Coincidentally, the other elevator had also reached the first floor. Lin Bai directly entered the other elevator.
Assistant Wang chased after him, unwilling to give up.
“Hey, you…”
Lin Bai had a mocking smile on his face as he watched the elevator door close slowly, as well as the awful expression on Assistant Wang’s face.
His mood instantly became very comfortable.
“Hehe, I like seeing how you don’t like me, but you can’t kill me,” Lin Bai said the moment the elevator door closed.
He didn’t know if Assistant Wang outside had heard it.
But the elevator door seemed to have been kicked. He probably heard it.
Thus, Lin Bai’s mood became even better.
While Lin Bai was taking the elevator upstairs, Assistant Wang had already called to complain.
When they met, Ling Xuewei’s expression didn’t look too good.
“Hello, Mr. Lin. I just heard from my assistant that you are friends with the family member of the couple that I injured a few days ago?”
Lin Bai nodded his head and admitted, “Yes.”
Ling Xuewei asked again, “My assistant said that you insisted on resolving it through litigation instead of a private settlement. Yet, you are talking about cooperating with me now. Mr. Lin, what exactly do you mean?”
Lin Bai did not answer Ling Xuewei’s question. Instead, he stared at her and sized her up for a few seconds.
At the same time, he activated the Divine-level Human Discernation Technique.
A translucent frame instantly appeared above Ling Xuewei’s head.
On the top of the frame were the words “Rational, tenacious, and kind-hearted”.
There were also some small words at the back that were about Ling Xuewei’s main life story.
Lin Bai looked at it briefly. There were no black spots.
Thus, Lin Bai was even more certain that everything that had happened in the hospital was the personal actions of the man in the suit, which had nothing to do with Ling Xuewei.
He guessed that Ling Xuewei probably did not even know how domineering her assistant was in front of outsiders.
Lin Bai said, “Actually, we don’t have to go through the legal channel and file a lawsuit but your assistant is too much of a bully.”
“Both parties were clearly responsible for the accident, but he put on a high and mighty posture, throwing out 200,000 yuan to us like he was doing charity while saying that he wanted to settle it privately.”
“Miss Ling, if it were you, you wouldn’t be able to take this lying down, right?”
Ling Xuewei frowned and said, “I think you guys have misunderstood. That 200,000 yuan was meant for the medical expenses.”
“We’ll discuss the compensation later. I don’t have the intention to settle this matter with just 200,000 yuan, and that’s not considered charity either.”
Ling Xuewei’s reaction made Lin Bai believe that his judgment was right. Everything was caused by that Assistant Wang.
Lin Bai said, “President Ling, you have a good eye for investment, but your ability to judge people needs to be improved.”
“For example, that assistant of yours. I personally suggest that you get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you keep such a person by your side, who knows how much trouble he will cause you in the future?”
Ling Xuewei was obviously displeased.
“Mr. Lin, we’ve only met for less than five minutes, and you’re asking me to fire my assistant. Isn’t that a little too much?”
“If you have such an attitude, then I have to reconsider whether there’s a need to cooperate with you.”
“After all, if my prospective partners don’t know their place and want to interfere in all my affairs, I think it’d be better not to cooperate right from the beginning.”
Before they had even spoken a few words, they were already on the verge of falling out.
If there wasn’t the notification from the Future News app, perhaps Lin Bai would have just stood up and left.
However, the dream from before, coupled with the notification from the Future News app, made him feel that he couldn’t leave just like that.
Lin Bai lowered his head to look at the time. He estimated that Ling Xuewei’s mother should be arriving soon.
Thus, he began to change the topic.
“President Ling, let’s put aside the matter of cooperation for now. I have something more important to tell you.”
Ling Xuewei restrained her emotions and nodded. “Yes, go ahead.”
Lin Bai said, “I know a little about face-reading. Based on your face, you seem to have had a very miserable childhood. Moreover, you have been separated from your mother for many years, right?”
Ling Xuewei’s expression changed slightly. She frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
Lin Bai smiled and replied, “I mean it literally.”
“President Ling, don’t be nervous. I don’t mean any harm. I just saw some information from your face and wanted to verify it. You must have been looking for your mother, right?”
Ling Xuewei thought for a moment and nodded in acknowledgment.
“Yes.”
“Then congratulations, President Ling. You are about to introduce yourself to your mother.”
Ling Xuewei frowned. “What are you trying to do?”
Lin Bai looked at the time again. It was the time mentioned in the news.
Ling Xuewei’s mother had arrived and was being chased away by the security guards.
Thus, Lin Bai said, “I know you won’t believe me now, President Ling. It doesn’t matter. Just call the security guard at the gate and ask him to bring her in.”
“When we meet, you’ll naturally believe my judgment.”
Ling Xuewei became more and more confused.
“Why are you calling the security guard? Who are you asking me to let in? You’ll know once you call him.”
Ling Xuewei was a little angry and said coldly, “Mr. Lin, if you want to play a prank, I don’t have time to cooperate with you. Please speak clearly, or just leave.”
Lin Bai sighed and pointed at the pendant on Ling Xuewei’s chest. He said, “If I’m not wrong, that should be the token your mother left for you, right?”
Ling Xuewei could no longer maintain her composure. She cried out involuntarily, “How did you know? !”
Lin Bai put on an unfathomable expression and said, “I told you just now, I know a little face reading technique.”
“…”
Ling Xuewei was skeptical, and her heart started to waver.
She had never told anyone about the origin of this pendant.
Therefore, she was sure that Lin Bai could not have heard about it from somewhere else and deliberately used it to deceive her..
