Chapter 37: Encounter with a Beautiful Lady Again
"Stinky little brother, have you been partying every night back home?"
Early in the morning, Zhang Caini’s call woke Lin Fan, who was still in a deep sleep with Chang Wanyun cuddled up to him.
"How could that be? He didn’t say a word before he went ahead and renovated my house. I’m just fulfilling my promise to help Boss Xue with an article, which I was writing until late last night before I went to sleep."
Lin Fan kissed Chang Wanyun, who had just opened her eyes, with a smile. A few days of nourishment had made her look much younger, especially with her sleepy, hazy eyes--truly an irresistibly charming beauty.
"Do you think I would believe you, you heartbreaker?"
Zhang Caini said with a laugh, "I just wanted to let you know, the work group from above didn’t leave until this morning. According to Old Zhu, the candidate should be decided by next week. I’ve done all the lobbying I can, but he still seems undecided. Especially since Mayor Hou’s situation, his relationship with Guo Baoming has become really tense. He has to be extra careful with this selection process because if Guo Baoming catches anything on him, it’ll be big trouble, so you better speed things up on your end as well."
"I understand."
Having Zhang Caini as an inside source, Lin Fan certainly had an edge. After all, regardless of who was chosen, it still had to be recommended by Zhu Defu, who was in charge of the project. Whether or not the candidate got through wasn’t his decision to make. These past two days, Chu Shihan had been slow to reply to messages and hadn’t suggested a video call, which Lin guessed was related to the visit by the work group.
However, there wasn’t enough time yet for him to hand over the video of Guo Baoming; otherwise, all his previous efforts would be exposed. So, he needed to wait for the right moment to really heat things up for Zhu Defu.
"So, are you going on a blind date now?"
