Chapter 312 203: She's Not My Girlfriend, She's Your Girlfriend (2)

"Huh?"

The Pan father and son froze. "President Lin?"

"That would be me."

The Pan father and son stood rooted to the spot, staring at Lin Jiang, completely dumbstruck.

"Could he be…"

"That's right. He's our President Lin!"

Their simple brains almost short-circuited at that moment.

Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that the man who had cuckolded their family, the very person they were plotting against with Wang Xianping, was actually the secret owner of Berkeley!

An uncontrollable cold sweat broke out on Pan Shengli's forehead.

This was the man who had spent over a billion to buy Berkeley. The project he himself had been begging and pleading for was something this man could decide with a single word.

And yet, just moments ago, he had been confidently vowing to fight him!

In that instant, all of Pan Shengli's spirit vanished.

"President Lin…"

Faced with a choice between dignity and money, Pan Shengli chose the latter.

"President Lin, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. Could you please give me a chance to explain?" Pan Shengli's attitude did a complete one-eighty.

With a project worth tens of millions on the line, he could no longer afford to care about Wang Xianping or Lin Qiangwei.

As for being cuckolded, so be it.

Lin Jiang raised an eyebrow, watching Pan Shengli with great interest.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Come to my office."

In this new map, Pan Shengli and Wang Xianping were both bosses.

Now that he had an opportunity, he naturally had to deal with them.

Lin Jiang and Lin Qiangwei entered the elevator one after the other.

"You're going to talk with Pan Shengli?" Lin Qiangwei asked.

"Of course. He can be a pawn to use against Wang Xianping. Why wouldn't I?"

"But he's only groveling because he wants to get your project."

"The process doesn't matter. I only care about the result," Lin Jiang said.

"As for the project you mentioned, someone has to do it. If Pan Shengli is capable, I don't mind giving it to him. Plus, I can use him to get rid of Wang Xianping without getting my own hands dirty. It's a win-win."

Lin Qiangwei said nothing.

She suddenly found Lin Jiang a little frightening.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the office, where He Jing had thoughtfully prepared tea as usual.

With no outsiders in the office, Lin Jiang crossed his legs and looked at the Pan father and son.

"Speak. I'll give you a few minutes."

"President Lin, please let me explain. This is all a huge misunderstanding. Rest assured, I am definitely not on the same side as Wang Xianping."

"He must have approached you. I'm very interested to hear what your plan was."

"Well…"

Pan Shengli frowned, deciding to tell Lin Jiang the whole truth.

'In the face of a man of his stature, I am nothing.'

'Continuing to plot those petty schemes with Wang Xianping would be insane.'

Over the next few minutes, Pan Shengli laid out Wang Xianping's entire plan for Lin Jiang.

"As expected. With a mind like his, he could only think to target the club."

Pan Shengli looked surprised. From the sound of it, the man had long since guessed what Wang Xianping would do.

"President Lin, that's exactly what Wang Xianping told me. I've told you everything I know."

"Mm."

Lin Jiang nodded without any further reaction.

"President Lin…" Pan Shengli said tentatively.

"What is it?"

"The Berkeley renovation project…"

"You just want to take on this project, don't you?"

"I hope President Lin will give us a chance," Pan Shengli said earnestly. "We have all the necessary qualifications and paperwork. Over the years, we've had many successful project case studies. I hope President Lin will consider us."

"It's just a project. No big deal."

"Thank you, Presi—"

"However…"

Pan Shengli's expression froze. "President Lin, do you have something else in mind?"

"Your son seems to hold quite a grudge against me."

Lin Jiang propped his head up with one hand, a playful look in his eyes as he watched Pan Yongbin.

"It couldn't be because your girlfriend secretly had dinner with me, her butt accidentally brushed against my hand, and then she bought some lingerie to give me a 'buyer's show,' could it? You wouldn't hate my guts just for that, would you?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not," Pan Yongbin said, his head hanging low. "You two must have had important business to discuss. I was the one who got in your way. Besides, she's not my girlfriend anymore… She's President Lin's girlfriend…"

"Glad we have an understanding. So don't overthink it; there was nothing between us. Also, what's with your leg? Are you injured?"

"Th-that…"

'You motherfucker!' Pan Yongbin cursed inwardly. 'You're the one who fucking hit me! How could you not know what happened?!'

"Yongbin!"

Pan Shengli jabbed him, his intention obvious.

'What's the point of thinking so much when money is on the line?'

"I fell yesterday."

"If that's the case, then we can talk about the project," Lin Jiang said.

"Thank you, President Lin! Thank you, President Lin!"

"Regarding that, go discuss it with the designer. If she thinks you're up to it, you can have the project. If not, there's nothing I can do."

"Understood. Thank you, President Lin, for giving us this chance."

"Don't be so quick to thank me," Lin Jiang said nonchalantly.

"There's something else I need you to do. You'll only get your chance if you do exactly as I say."

...

「In the dead of night.」

An Audi A8 pulled over not far from Branch No. 2, followed by a van.

Returning to this place, the Wang Family father and son both felt the exhilarating thrill of impending revenge.

Not long ago, they had also stopped here to watch Lin Jiang's downfall, only to be tricked by him and end up locked away for several days.

Now, they finally had a chance to get their revenge!

"Dad, what did you and Uncle Pan arrange?"

"He said he was short on men, so he told us to bring our people and wreck this shop. He'll take care of the other two."

"Uncle Pan has so many guys working for him. How could he be short on men?"
