Baili Changcheng’s face was flushed from running over. He was breathing heavily, and his expensive suit was stained with sweat, making him look nondescript. It seemed like he had received the news and came rushing here as fast as possible.

He saw Baili Ying and smiled, then turned to greet all of his comrades. “Everyone, because of my negligence, I’ve let this dog bark on for too long. I’m sorry.”

“Waiters, what are you standing there for? Go and serve the dishes!” Baili Changcheng shouted in rage. The waiters panicked. Compared to Zhao Bing, Baili Changcheng was the true manager from within the family. They obeyed the orders and began serving plates of fanciful and exotic dishes.

Zhao Bing’s expression was grim. He did not expect the meeting to end so soon. He knew beforehand that Baili Changcheng was busy at a family meeting, which was why he had taken the chance to make things difficult for Lin Jie and the rest. It was out of his expectation that Baili Changcheng had arrived so quickly.

Zhao Bing was vexed and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Lin Jie called out to him. “Hey, Manager Zhao, you haven’t counted the money.”

“Count the money?” Baili Changcheng turned his eyes and immediately understood the situation. He laughed coldly. “Zhao Bing, did you forget to collect the bill? The customer is asking for the check, are you deaf?”

Zhao Bing wished that he was really deaf. However, Baili Changcheng was viciously glaring at him. Even if he could ignore these people, he could not defy Baili Changcheng. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and kneel down to count the coins. One, two…

“You few over there, do it too. It’s too much work for him alone.” Lin Jie calmly said as he pointed to a few waiters. They were the ones who had treated Sakura with a bad attitude earlier on.

They looked at Baili Changcheng, who was nodding in agreement. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and count the money obediently.

700,000$… This would take them three whole days! However, Lin Jie did not have the slightest intention of letting them off. There was no need to take pity on these people who insulted and looked down on others.

They could not be bothered by the few people counting the coins. Baili Changcheng and Lin Jie greeted the guests and began to dine happily.

Bu Yi pushed the wheelchair and brought Sakura in front of Lin Jie. Sakura’s voice was trembling, unable to hide her gratitude. “Brother Lone Wolf, thank you…”

Baili Changcheng patted Sakura’s head endearingly and laughed. “I’ve brought you the person in the flesh. Are you happy?”

“Mmmh, brother is the best!” said Sakura chirpily.

“Hey, did you buy my sister a present? I remembered to let the butler inform you.” Baili Changcheng nudged Lin Jie’s arm.

“I did, a set!” Lin Jie purposely emphasized on the two words “a set” to show that he was thoughtful.

Baili Changcheng was over the moon. He knew that his sister admired Codename Lone Wolf like a hero. Although he was a little jealous, what could be more important than his sister’s happiness? He cheerfully glanced over at the plushie that Lin Jie had bought, and was stunned.

“This… you bought this?”

“Yes, why?” Lin Jie was surprised.

Baili Changcheng grabbed the furry plushie that resembled Pleasant Goat1 and his mouth twisted. “Why did you give my sister an… alpaca[2. 草泥马(Hanyu pinyin: Cǎo ní mǎ) Near homophone of the profanity phrase “F*ck you” in mandarin)?”

“Huh?” Lin Jie’s eyes widened. “Alpaca? F*ck… That toy store is so wicked! How would I know that an alpaca could be so cute and innocent?”

It was not just an alpaca, the toys that Lin Jie had bought were a set of the Ten Great Beasts! This was a series of characters that were popular on the internet a few years ago, and they were all alpacas. No wonder Sakura had such a strange look on her face when she received the presents. It was definitely weird to be receiving alpacas from a man!

“Come and get a drink!” Zheng Ziliang came at just the right time. He smiled and said, “Who knew Baili is actually as suave as me in real life. Ah, come, come, let’s have a toast.”

Just then, Lin Jie suddenly stood up.

“I’ve drunk too much wine, I need to go to the washroom,” said Lin Jie and left. He had really drunk too much. Forget about the over ten glasses of wine he drank, who asked Baili Changcheng to treat everybody, which included drinks? Lin Jie naturally came with an empty stomach with the thought to eat as much as possible to make the money worth it. But after Zhao Bing made things difficult for him, he was really too hungry and thirsty, and could only down the glasses of wine to satiate himself.

“Phew…” Lin Jie relieved himself. Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder and shocked him, sending a shiver down his spine. He immediately pulled up the zipper of his pants, only to trap his thing out of carelessness. He gritted his teeth from the excruciating pain, and then glared and said, “What?”

Baili Changcheng was standing behind him, laughing, without a hint of awkwardness. “You came here because you know I have something to say to you, right? Indeed, in the meeting earlier, I—”

“I came here to pee,” interrupted Lin Jie.

Baili Changcheng looked dejected as he said, “I thought we had a connection.”

“There’s no such thing between other men and me.” Lin Jie rolled his eyes.

“Okay, let’s talk business.” Baili Changcheng’s face turned serious. “Baili Xuanyuan had wasted a long time in The New Age with little profits. As such, my family has decided to transfer the resources to me temporarily. They want to see results after one month.”

Lin Jie was surprised. “Results? Your family isn’t expecting you to double the money, are they?”

“Double? Hmph, if only that old man was so generous.” Baili Changcheng scrunched up his nose. “You know about stocks investment? In the principle of the lever, the money invested can be increased by 3 times, 5 times, and even 10 times. The higher the lever is raised, the chances of profits skyrocketing are greater.”

“Speak in layman terms!”
