Chapter 97: Representative
At this moment, Luo Jun, who had been boasting shamelessly, found himself in a difficult position. Should he call? But he didn't even know the number, let alone that he knew the person. If he didn't call, having blown his cover in front of so many classmates would be humiliating. Luo Jun pondered in his heart what to do.
His good friends secretly gave him a cold sweat.
"Even the number, right? Luo Jun, people can be proud, but not arrogant. Don't think that because you have a little ability, you blow it everywhere and seek superiority in front of your classmates." Ling Tian said in a deep voice. "If you really have the ability, you should help those classmates who are not living well."
Luo Jun was itching to hit him, but he couldn't do anything to Ling Tian.
Suddenly, Luo Jun thought of a clever way. He picked up his wine cup and said to Ling Tian, "Since you insist I call, I won't be polite. Think it through. Once I dial, it's out of my hands."
"Acting like a woman, hesitating. If you're going to call, just do it. If not, admit you were bragging." Ling Tian said impatiently.
While Luo Jun was drinking, he spilled the wine all over himself without holding the cup steady. Of course, his poor phone got wet too. If it were anyone else, they'd be heartbroken over the wet phone, but Luo Jun was overjoyed, as if he'd won a five-million-dollar prize.
"Seems heaven is helping you. Just by drinking, you can fix your phone. Forget it, today I'm not going to argue with you." Luo Jun said magnanimously.
"Your phone isn't waterproof?" A rich second-generation who didn't know when to shut up asked beside him.
Luo Jun had barely covered it up when this guy jumped in. He wanted to slap him for being so tactless. But to continue the cover, Luo Jun suppressed his anger and said word by word, "You remembered wrong, the waterproof phone is at home." Then he gave him a look.
The tactless rich guy completely didn't understand and took out his phone to say to Luo Jun, "Your phone is broken, use mine."
Luo Jun's lungs were about to explode. Usually this guy seemed clever, how did he become so stupid today?
"My phone number is saved in the phone, I don't remember it." Luo Jun glared at him unhappily.
At this moment, the hotel staff all gathered together, forming neat formations, then split into two rows, standing on both sides of the hotel corridor. Some staff even lifted a roll of red carpet and carefully laid it on the path. Obviously, a big shot was coming to the hotel.
Who could it be that required such a grand reception at the hotel under the Nanguang Family? Even the heads of the other major families wouldn't cause such a commotion, right?
The hotel's bizarre action immediately drew everyone's attention. Luo Jun and others crowded up, looking at the entrance to see what kind of big shot was arriving. Ling Tian and Zhao Ming didn't care and sat face to face, savoring fine wine.
"Zhao Ming, go back and resign from your job, follow me." Ling Tian took a sip of wine and looked at Zhao Ming earnestly.
Zhao Ming was stunned when he had to quit his job that supported him. He now owed a mountain of debt. To repay it, he lived frugally every day. Even his younger sister who was in high school had dropped out to work outside.
"Ling Tian, my situation is special. If I quit, not only won't I be able to repay the debt, I won't even be able to eat."
"I'll pay off your debts. As for the future, I'll arrange for you to join City-Hunting Group and find your sister a better school to continue studying and aim for a good university." Ling Tian continued. As brothers, Ling Tian didn't want Zhao Ming to live so hard.
"Join City-Hunting Group? Not easy to get in!" Zhao Ming said bitterly. City-Hunting Group had good pay but high requirements; not anyone could enter.
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Didn't you forget? The female president of City-Hunting Group is my wife. As a husband, can I refuse to recommend talent? It's settled. Stop drinking, I'll pay off your debt now. Let's go." With that, Ling Tian pulled Zhao Ming to his feet to leave.
A black Mercedes sedan stopped at the entrance. The doorman, seeing the license plate, immediately came with a smile, opened the door, and helped the person out. "Miss Mu, please." The doorman escorted Mu Qingcheng out and then arranged parking with the driver.
With Wang Ling accompanying her, Mu Qingcheng walked into the hotel gate with a calm face. Such a grand reception didn't surprise her; what surprised her was that Ling Tian had really cured Nanguang Xue'er's strange illness.
This also made Mu Qingcheng more certain that Ling Tian was that expert who sold divine talismans from the world outside.
Wang Ling looked excited and smiled at Mu Qingcheng, "President! The Nanguang Family's grand invitation clearly shows respect for you. In the future, we can cooperate extensively with the Nanguang Family."
Mu Qingcheng smiled faintly and said, "It's not because of me, but because of Ling Tian."
"It's not because of you. Then why call you and not Ling Tian? By the way, that guy Ling Tian is elusive, like a dragon that appears and disappears. He came to the company this morning to report but then vanished." Wang Ling said.
Mu Qingcheng said, "It's because I couldn't find Ling Tian that they called me. And there's one more thing you don't know: even if they knew where Ling Tian was, they wouldn't dare to disturb him directly. So they chose me as the intermediary."
Hearing this, Wang Ling sucked in a cold breath. What kind of person was Ling Tian that the Nanguang Family valued so highly? Nanguang Family inviting someone meant giving great face, but not daring to disturb Ling Tian directly showed their extreme respect for him.
While Mu Qingcheng and Wang Ling were walking inside, Nanguang Zhenyu, his wife, Nanguang Ye, and Nanguang Xue'er who had just recovered from illness were also present. The family of four stood on the path, smiling and looking at Mu Qingcheng and Wang Ling approaching.
After Mu Qingcheng and Wang Ling entered, Nanguang Zhenyu led the family to greet them actively. He extended his right hand politely and said, "Miss Mu, thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to accept our invitation."
Mu Qingcheng also extended her hand to shake Nanguang Zhenyu's and said, "Ling Tian is not here. As his wife, I can only represent him." The purpose of Mu Qingcheng saying this was to formally indicate her relationship with Ling Tian. In fact, Mu Qingcheng knew that the Nanguang Family had long known about her and Ling Tian's relationship, just not completely confirmed.
The four major families had deep roots in Yunhai City and their ability to investigate was formidable. Besides, the relationship between Ling Tian and Mu Qingcheng was no longer a secret within City-Hunting Group.
