Chapter 391 Haha, playing the boyfriend again

Shao Huayang thought for a moment and asked, "Are you the one who joined the harvest later?"

"Hmm~!" Lin Hao nodded with a smile.

"Wait!" Shao Huayang's face changed, and he suddenly thought of something: "Are you Lin Hao?"

Lin Hao raised his glass in greeting. He was not surprised that Shao Huayang could guess it. After all, he did not deliberately conceal his identity.

Previously, when Wu Wei was challenging Shao Huayang's position as China's stock king by operating Haidong stocks, Lin Hao was secretly commenting on it. As a result, neither Wu Wei nor Shao Huayang gained anything, but Lin Hao made a fortune!
So Shao Huayang used his connections to secretly investigate this suddenly emerging team, and only then did he discover the existence of Lin Hao's Xingyuan Investment Company.

After watching Lin Hao's operations, he was surprised to find that he, the so-called stock king, was really a dwarf compared to others!
"Mr. Lin is really young and promising!" I didn't find Lin Hao's photo at that time, but when I saw him today, I realized that he is so young!
"Mr. Shao is not that old. He is in his prime in the stock market!" Lin Hao said modestly.

Upon hearing this, Shao Huayang shook his head and asked curiously:

"Hasn't Mr. Lin always been involved in U.S. and Hong Kong stocks? Why are you suddenly interested in the domestic stock market?"

"Haha! It's just something I do easily!" Lin Hao said indifferently.

At this moment, the sound of a guitar was heard on the stage. They both raised their heads at the same time and saw Lin Xia sitting on a high chair with a guitar in her hands. Her fingers gently swept across the strings. The melody of "Tick-Tock" spread throughout the karaoke room, and then Lin Xia began her singing.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick,
The hour hand keeps turning.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick,
The drizzle splashed with water.

Tick-tick...

Listening to this "old song", Lin Hao was unconsciously attracted. The desolate melancholy and loneliness lingered in his mind, making him somewhat fascinated.

The more experienced a person is, the easier it is for him to become addicted to it, whether it is Lin Hao or Shao Huayang!
However, Lin Hao had so much experience that although he was attracted by the sadness in Lin Xia's singing, he quickly regained his composure and there was more appreciation in his eyes.

It's no wonder that the song "Tick Tock" has a different meaning when sung by Lin Xia. After experiencing the feeling of wanting to commit suicide for love, she was hurt again and again by Cheng Feng.

At the same time, as a third perspective, she witnessed the emotional entanglement between Wu Di, Yang Zixi and Lin Hao, which allowed her to have her own understanding of death, love, life and the past.

It also makes the song more flavorful. When sung with her lazy voice, it really has a unique flavor that makes people's eyes light up.

Lin Xia's singing had ended at this time, but the guests in the bar asked her to sing another song. Lin Xia did not hesitate and started singing another love song!
At this time, Lin Hao looked at Shao Huayang who was in a trance and said:

"Why? You like this girl!"

Shao Huayang glanced at Lin Hao, then said:
"This is a girl with a story. Her previous singing was more sorrowful and pitiful. It makes people feel distressed when listening to her."

"But the way she sang today was different from the past. There was a feeling of relief and release!"

Then he looked at Lin Hao meaningfully and said, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Lin Hao said calmly: "More than friends, but less than lovers!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Huayang glanced at Lin Xia who was singing on the stage. He knew his situation. He was not qualified to pursue Lin Xia now because he, who claimed to be a good man, had a family.

Then he took out a box of business cards from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Lin Hao, then said:
"Although I know you have obtained my personal information, please accept my business card out of courtesy!"

"This is my personal phone number. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time. I'm leaving now!"

"Yes!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

Shao Huayang looked at Lin Xia reluctantly, then turned and left with his bag.

Lin Hao glanced at the business card in his hand. It was a very ordinary business card. Apart from Shao Huayang's name and phone number, there was no other information printed on it, such as the company he belonged to, his position, etc.

Lin Hao smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. Just as Shao Huayang said, Lin Hao already had his contact number.

At this time, Lin Xia had finished singing her song, and saw Lin Hao sitting in the seat of the middle-aged man who often came to drink.

So he walked down from the stage and was about to come over to say hello, but he found that the middle-aged man had already stood up and left.

She walked up to Lin Hao and said:
"Do you know that person just now?"

"I know him! We're in the same industry!" After saying that, Lin Hao looked at Lin Xia with a smile.

Seeing Lin Hao looking at her strangely, Lin Xia got a little irritated and patted Lin Hao:
"No, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just chatted with him for a while. This guy often comes to listen to you sing and even asked me about your relationship. I guess he has a crush on you!"

Lin Xia frowned and said, "No wonder Fei Si said last time that this old man's eyes were not right!"

Lin Xia smiled happily and then said:
"It seems that my charm remains undiminished. I am still loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever I see them. Only Cheng Feng doesn't know my worth."

Lin Hao smiled and did not mention Cheng Feng, but said:

"So I came over to warn him, to let him know what's going on. He's already in his 40s or 50s, and he's still trying to get close to young girls!"

"I don't like this guy. He's almost as old as my dad!"

At this point, Lin Xia seemed to have thought of something, and said awkwardly:
"Well, I want to ask you for help with something, I wonder if it's okay!"

"Just tell me what you have to say!" Lin Hao said casually.

"This is what happened. My mom forced me to go on a blind date a few days ago. She introduced me to all kinds of ugly people. I was so annoyed that I said I had found a boyfriend."

Lin Hao's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and then he said excitedly:

"Wait, you're not going to say I'm your boyfriend!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was a little excited, Lin Xia thought that he was unwilling to help, so she immediately said:

"You know about Cheng Feng and I. I couldn't think of anyone who could help me, and the first person I thought of was you!"

"The point is, my parents asked me to take you to meet them this weekend, and I agreed without your consent. You won't be angry, will you?"

After saying that, Lin Xia looked at Lin Hao with anxious eyes, feeling a little nervous.

Who was the last person who asked me to play the role of my girlfriend? I think it was Zhu Suosuo in Our Best Friend’s Story!

Then Lin Hao said solemnly: "Are you sure?" "Okay?" Lin Xia said expectantly.

"What's in it for me?" Lin Hao leaned forward and said, "My appearance fee is not low!"

Lin Xia scratched his head, hesitated for a moment and said:
"How about I treat you to a nice meal?"

"It's the weekend, right? Then I'll find some time to go with you!" Lin Hao would certainly not miss the opportunity to play the role of a boyfriend, which is a popular opportunity!

"You agreed! That's great!" He picked up the juice and said to Lin Hao: "Thank you so much!"

"We are friends, it's no big deal!" Lin Hao smiled, then raised his glass to clink with hers, and then drank it in one gulp!
······
Time flies and it is the weekend. Cheng Feng, Wu Di and Fei Si come to Shi Xiaomeng's house, and Shen Bing is cooking hometown dishes for them in the kitchen!

At this time, Cheng Feng stood at the kitchen door, looking up and down at Shen Bing who was cooking. Shen Bing seemed to sense something, turned around and found that it was Cheng Feng, so she asked:

"Don't stand there, there's smoke all over the place!" Then he turned around and continued cooking.

Cheng Feng saw Shen Bing turn around, looked Shen Bing up and down again, and then said:
"You really look like a snail girl. What are you going to eat today?"

Seeing that Cheng Feng had not left yet, she felt a little unhappy, especially because of what Lin Hao said that night, which made her consider Cheng Feng a little, so she said again:

"These are all home-cooked dishes. You guys take a rest first! I'll cook them in a minute!"

Shi Xiaomeng, who was in the living room, didn't know if it was because of Lin Hao's words, but he always felt that Cheng Feng was a little strange, so he walked behind Cheng Feng and said:

"Why, are you jealous?"

Cheng Feng didn't know how to respond for a moment. Fortunately, Shen Bing picked up a cooked dish and said:

"Here, take this over, I'm the only one in the kitchen!"

After sending Cheng Feng away, Shi Xiaomeng entered the kitchen and got intimate with Shen Bing. Then there was a knock on the door!
After opening the door, it was Shi Xiaomeng's boss Hu Rongqiang, so he introduced him:
"This is my wife Shen Bing!"

"This is my boss, Brother Hu, and he's also from the same hometown as us!"

After some pleasantries between Shen Bing and Hu Rongqiang, Shen Bing introduced Wu Di to Hu Rongqiang, and finally Cheng Feng.

When Hu Rongqiang saw Cheng Feng, his eyes immediately lit up. He didn't expect Shi Xiaomeng to have such a relationship with him, so he said attentively:

"Oh, the eldest son of Dade Group, I have heard of you for a long time!"

However, with Cheng Feng's personality, he naturally looked down on Hu Rongqiang, but he still said a few polite words:
"Brother Hu, right? I'll trouble you to take care of my brother from now on!"

After everyone chatted for a while, Shen Bing had already served all the dishes. While everyone was chatting, Shi Xiaomeng received a call.

It turned out to be a call from the sales office, asking him to pay the remaining 80,000 yuan down payment before the end of the month, otherwise not only would the deposit be withheld, but the house would also be lost.

Shi Xiaomeng glanced at Hu Rongqiang who was chatting enthusiastically with Cheng Feng, gritted his teeth and assured the sales office that he could pay off the loan.

During the dinner, Shi Xiaomeng toasted Hu Rongqiang alone and asked about the 80,000 yuan bonus promised to him.

Although Hu Rongqiang did not agree immediately, the meaning of his words should be that there should be no problem.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Shi Xiaomeng has a "friend" like Cheng Feng. Isn't this a ready-made resource? Naturally, it has to be maintained by Shi Xiaomeng!

Shi Xiaomeng naturally understood the meaning of Hu Rongqiang's words, and the atmosphere naturally became more and more heated.

"It's so delicious, it must be made by Shen Bing, right?" Wu Di was very satisfied with the meal.

"Xiao Meng, you are so lucky! In my opinion, you should just let Shen Bing open a restaurant, and we will come here to eat every day!" Hu Rongqiang also praised.

"Come on, Crazy, Wu Di, I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Meng for so many years!" Shen Bing picked up the rouge wine she brought from her hometown and poured it for everyone.

Wu Di and Cheng Feng raised their glasses quickly: "Okay, let's drink this to officially welcome Shen Bing to Beijing! I hope we will have more opportunities to improve our meals in the future!"

Everyone was laughing and drinking. Cheng Feng was a little absent-minded, and then he was discovered by Wu Di:
"Crazy, there's something wrong with you today. What's your special feeling? Do you feel that the three thousand beauties in your harem are not as good as Xiao Meng's one flower?"

Cheng Feng rolled his eyes at Wu Di and said with some disinterest:
"Xiao Meng, you are indeed very lucky! My biggest realization today is that if you only have one pill in life, then you are also content to die!"

Hu Rongqiang asked in confusion: "Mall?"

After everyone laughed, Wu Di said:

"This is what happened. The photo of Shen Bing in Xiao Meng's wallet looked a bit like Chibi Maruko-chan, so Crazy gave her this nickname, Chibi Maruko-chan!"

"Hahaha~!"

After everyone laughed, Hu Rongqiang said, "Then your meatballs must be delicious, right, Xiao Meng?"

Then everyone had another drink together. After drinking, Shen Bing's face turned red and she smiled shyly at Shi Xiaomeng. Cheng Feng, who was sitting opposite her, kept stealing glances at Shen Bing from time to time!
Hu Rongqiang keenly discovered that there was something wrong with the way Cheng Feng looked at Shen Bing. He then looked around at Cheng Feng and Shen Bing, and then said to himself:
"Crazy, meatballs, interesting!"

As a seasoned veteran who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, he instantly knew what was going on, and at the same time, an idea came to his mind: Shi Xiaomeng's 80,000 yuan bonus, haha!
If we can get the advertising order from Dade Group through Shen Bing and Shi Xiaomeng, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds!

Wu Di, who was standing by, also saw Hu Rongqiang looking around frequently and seemed to have grasped some information. He frowned slightly and suddenly remembered what Lin Hao had said before.

After finishing the meal, several people helped to clean up the table, and then Wu Di said goodbye:
"You two haven't seen each other for so long, we won't be the light bulbs here anymore!"

When Cheng Feng heard what he said, his heart suddenly tightened. He thought about how Shen Bing was being pinned down by the devil Shi Xiaomeng tonight, and he, a warrior, was powerless to do anything. He didn't want to stay here any longer.

······
On the other side, Lin Hao also came to Lin Xia's house with gifts!

At this time, Lin Xia's parents also prepared a table of dishes, and Lin's mother couldn't wait to ask:

"Girl, your boyfriend is coming soon, tell mom about the boy's situation!"

"You'll know when you meet him later!" Lin Xia said while eating snacks mechanically, but her mind was thinking about other things!

"You kid! You should at least tell me how long you've been dating!"

"Don't ask me, I haven't even started yet!" Lin Xia said helplessly:

"It's better not to say anything now. Later when you meet this person, you will think this or that is not good and directly reject this person!"

"Hey! Can't you say something nice, kid?" Father Lin felt that this child was hopeless and didn't care about his lifelong affairs at all!
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" At this time the doorbell rang, and Lin Xia was startled and suddenly stood up and ran to open the door!
After Lin Hao entered the room, he saw the look on Lin's father's face and almost called out "Second Uncle"!
