Chapter 409 The atmosphere is very pleasant
"Probably not. Only a few people know what happened last night. They probably won't talk nonsense." Lin Fan shook his head.
"If this makes you uncomfortable, I can ask the school to handle this."
"No need, let's keep going." Tong Xiao said.
The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, it was already noon when they arrived at the dormitory area. Tong Xiao's roommates were already ready to welcome them, and the scene was quite lively. The group of one man and six women attracted a lot of attention.
At the dinner table, Lin Fan raised his drink. "Thank you all for your help. Without you last night, Xiaoxiao might have been in trouble. I'll toast to you all. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me."
"Mr. Lin, you're too polite." The roommates responded quickly, looking a little embarrassed.
"Just call me 'Brother Fan'. 'Mr. Lin' sounds too unfamiliar." Lin Fan suggested.
"Then I'll call you sixth brother-in-law?" The fourth sister said jokingly, glancing at Tong Xiao secretly.
"Fourth sister!" Tong Xiao's face turned red instantly.
"We are not that close yet, don't talk nonsense." Tong Xiao explained hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, then let's just call him 'Brother Fan'." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the fourth sister stopped talking.
"We are Xiaoliu's good sisters, and it is our responsibility to protect her." The second sister took over the topic.
"Brother Fan, please rest assured, we will make sure this doesn't happen again. If there are any problems, we will report to you in time." The second sister said seriously.
"That's right. If anyone comes to harass Xiaoxiao again, we will notify you immediately." The fourth sister added.
"Thank you, I appreciate it." Lin Fan replied with a smile and drank the drink in the glass in one gulp.
Although it was a gathering of one man and six women, Lin Fan's humor and wit made the whole atmosphere very pleasant and full of laughter.
After the meal, Tong Xiao didn't continue to pester Lin Fan, but asked him to go back to his own business, while she planned to go shopping with her roommates. Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lin Fan gave her a few instructions and then left.
On the way, his cell phone rang. It was Qin Ruxue calling.
"I have something urgent to do and can't go."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then remembered their appointment tonight. However, things had been going on a lot lately, with Tong Xiao's problems, the Yuanshi Kingdom incident, and pressure from his father-in-law, so he had forgotten about the date.
"What do you mean? Lin Fan, you won't forget our date, will you?"
On the other end of the phone, Qin Ruxue's voice was filled with obvious anger.
"How could it be? How could I forget such an important thing?" Lin Fan hurriedly explained.
"If you remember, why did you stand me up? I turned down several big contracts just to see you."
Lin Fan was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Qin Ruxue to have made so many preparations for tonight.
"What do you mean? I gave you a chance out of kindness, but you treated me like this!"
Lin Fan could hear the grievance in the other person's voice, but he also had his reasons: "I really have something urgent to do. If it weren't for this, why wouldn't I come?"
Qin Ruxue's momentum suddenly weakened: "What about tomorrow night?"
"I'm also very busy tomorrow." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had taken the initiative.
"Then who do you think I am? Can you see me if you want to? If you don't want to see me, then don't see me."
"I'll go over after I finish the things at hand. It might be a little late." Qin Ruxue tried to save the situation.
"Later? How late? Midnight? Don't I need to rest so late at night? Or do you want to come and keep me company?"
Lin Fan lit a cigarette, his tone teasing.
"Lin Fan, don't go too far. I came here for the Five Colored Stones. You should be grateful to me."
"For the five-colored stone? Then you don't want Tang Yin's painting either?" Lin Fan asked back. He didn't believe that Qin Ruxue could really find the five-colored stone.
"Of course I want that painting too, but I hope you give it to me willingly!" Qin Ruxue insisted.
"If you want to get the painting, you can just cancel the appointment?" Lin Fan sneered.
Lin Fan brought up the previous topic again.
"I even bought new clothes and got my hair done just to see you."
Hearing this, Qin Ruxue's momentum weakened a lot: "Then you set a time. I will definitely not stand you up this time."
"Then let's do it tomorrow. If it weren't for your beauty, I wouldn't bother with you." Although Lin Fan's words were tough, there was a hint of tenderness in his tone.
Qin Ruxue chuckled softly; she particularly enjoyed this style of speaking. Although she usually heard a lot of compliments, when it came from Lin Fan's mouth, she felt that every word was sincere.
Lin Fan smiled and took a puff of his cigarette. "It's a deal. Even if it's the end of the world, don't even think about breaking your promise again."
"Row."
Qin Ruxue nodded in agreement.
“Remember to bring your painting.”
"understood."
Lin Fan hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
"This guy's mind is not on me at all, he's only thinking about that painting..." Lin Fan muttered to himself, but when he thought that he had completely grasped Qin Ruxue's mind, he couldn't help but laugh.
Chasing a girl requires strategy, and you need to know how to use different methods for different people. Just like he once read almost every copy of "The Art of War" in order to pursue a girl. The various strategies mentioned in it - concealing the truth, waiting for the enemy to tire, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, etc., can actually be used in many aspects of life.
For example, if they had used the same tactics on Zhao Ziqing as they had on Qin Ruxue, they would have been kicked out long ago. Everyone has their own preferences; the key is to find and exploit them.
On the way to the company, Lin Fan received a call from Lu Guanglai.
"Brother Fan, according to the information provided by Heizi, those people have been arrested."
"Okay, find the person in charge of Ancheng as soon as possible."
"clear."
After the call ended, Lin Fan drove into the company.
After thinking for a moment, he walked straight to the president's office.
Zhao Ziqing was concentrating on her work. When she looked up and saw Lin Fan walk in, her eyes moved slightly.
"The country no longer needs you?"
"Of course the country still needs me, but I think the company can't do without me either, so I came back."
"That's it."
"Do you know the purpose of my trip? It's to investigate the black magic."
"Have you found anything? Didn't you say before that this was a conspiracy against the ten great families?"
Zhao Ziqing's expression turned serious, because the Zhao family was one of the ten great families.
In fact, she didn't care about the honor or disgrace of the Zhao family. What she was most worried about was the safety of the family elders.
"I have found the organization behind this, and they are indeed the mastermind."
Lin Fan sat down and continued.
"Now we have started to take action and arrest those people. I believe the storm will soon calm down."
"That's great."
"Don't worry about the old man. I'm here. Even if something does happen, I'll be able to save him."
Lin Fan lit a cigarette.
"I guarantee that you can continue to enjoy the delicious food made by the old man."
