Chapter 1834: Chapter 677: Deep Night with Lin Xiangwan... (Extended Chapter)

Afraid Liu Zongheng wouldn’t remember him, he hurriedly added, "I’m a member of our sports car club."

Liu Zongheng really didn’t remember him, but to give his own boss some face, he immediately said politely, "Oh... so it’s Mr. Ling, right, right, now I remember... Are you a friend of my boss?"

Right then Ling Guowei was completely sure that the Zhang Jingdong in front of him was that guy who founded Dongsheng Group at such a young age, and was also the boss of Liu Zongheng and Wang Tao, the two top rich young masters in Jiangdu.

He instantly put on a respectful face and said, "I... I just had the good fortune to meet Boss Zhang, and Boss Zhang also saved us back at the bar just now. When we were chatting with him and found out he was the owner of Dongsheng Group, we were all shocked."

Liu Zongheng suddenly understood and then said, "So that’s how it is. Our boss has always been very loyal and righteous. Since you guys ran into him, your road ahead is going to be much easier. Next time you come to the club for an event, give me a call in advance, we’ll have a drink together then."

Ling Guowei never imagined that just by answering a call he’d get such a huge unexpected surprise. Others might not know, but he understood what it meant to get this kind of promise from Liu Zongheng. There are hundreds of people in the club—who wouldn’t kill for this sentence from Liu Zongheng!

So he couldn’t hide his excitement and blurted, "Okay, okay... absolutely! Thank you, Mr. Liu!"

"All right, and I’ll have to trouble you to look after our boss as well."

"Of course, don’t worry. I’ll definitely... no, from now on I’ll follow Boss Zhang’s arrangements completely, you can rest assured!"

Seeing that things were perfect, Ling Guowei handed the Cellphone back to Zhang Jingdong.

Zhang Jingdong chatted a few more words with Liu Zongheng, then hung up.

At this moment, Ling Guowei was practically grinning in flattery as he said, "Boss Zhang, thank you!"

Zhang Jingdong knew exactly what he was thanking him for, and said casually, "No need to be so polite. Since we’re this fated to meet, and we’re all from the same hometown, of course we should help each other out."

By now, Lin Xiangwan and the others also had a vague idea of just how powerful a figure Zhang Jingdong really was.

Needless to say for Ling Chuchu—she’s even more gossipy than her brother, so she naturally already knew Zhang Jingdong’s true identity.

Although Gu Xiang and Zhang Yi both left Jiangdu when they were eighteen, they still knew that Ling Guowei was a guy who feared neither heaven nor earth, and yet just one of Zhang Jingdong’s subordinates could make him that respectful. You could imagine how insanely awesome Zhang Jingdong himself had to be.

As for Lin Xiangwan, although she didn’t know about Zhang Jingdong’s Dongsheng Group, she did know Liu Zongheng and Wang Tao. One of her cousins was very good friends with them, and she knew just how much clout Wang Tao and Liu Zongheng had in Jiangdu.

And now, Zhang Jingdong could actually recruit both of these top-tier, most powerful young masters in Jiangdu under his banner, and on top of that he looked even younger than them, which showed just how deep his strength and background ran.

Thinking of this, something inside Lin Xiangwan completely shifted.

Put it this way: if Zhang Jingdong were only someone who was good at fighting, then even though she would still feel very grateful to him and want to repay him, she knew it would be impossible for anything real to happen between them.

Because her parents would never agree.

But now...

The whole "matching families" issue didn’t even need to be considered anymore; all that was left was to see what kind of person he really was. And just now he’d not only saved her, but whether it was his looks or his vibe, he was pretty much flawless.

Then, for the first time, Lin Xiangwan realized her heart was racing!

Right then, Zhang Jingdong happened to turn his head and look at her, and he vaguely sensed this, then said warmly, "Once we’re back in Jiangdu, you can come check out our bar. I guarantee there definitely won’t be anything like what just happened."

Lin Xiangwan was slightly stunned, then blushed with a mix of shyness and delight, and nodded. "...Mm."

Ling Chuchu had just scored herself a diamond membership card from Zhang Jingdong for nothing, so she seized the chance to play wingwoman. "Boss Zhang, your face really is something. Back then I tried to talk Xiang Wan into going to your bar so many times, but she wouldn’t go with me. Now you say one word, and she agrees right away!"

"Classmate Lin Xiangwan, you ditch your bestie for a guy a bit too blatantly, don’t you think?"

Lin Xiangwan’s face instantly flushed red. "What are you talking about? I owe Boss Zhang so many favors today—I definitely can’t turn him down."

"Okay, okay... you’re just paying him back, I get it, I get it... We’ll go together when the time comes, I’ll mooch off your good fortune and enjoy the honor of being personally hosted by the boss!"

"Boss Zhang, you’ll personally host our Xiang Wan when the time comes, right?"

Seeing how good Ling Chuchu was at playing wingwoman, Zhang Jingdong nodded cheerfully. "Of course. You’re my distinguished guests—when the time comes I’ll personally make the arrangements and accompany you the whole time."

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully gaining 20 points of goodwill from the target character. Reward: 1 million yuan!"

Ling Chuchu immediately added, "I’ll remember that, Boss Zhang. And don’t worry, once we’re back I’ll definitely remind Xiang Wan about this. No, actually, our Xiang Wan has never accepted an invitation from any other man before—this is the first time she’s agreed to a guy’s invitation. So I think she herself is definitely going to remember it too, right, Xiang Wan?"

Lin Xiangwan shot Ling Chuchu a light sideways glance, then said, "Of course a person has to keep their word. Since I’ve agreed, I’ll naturally do it."

After that, the group walked along as they chatted.

And because Zhang Jingdong’s identity had been exposed, Ling Chuchu spent the whole way playing wingwoman, and even Ling Guowei would chime in now and then to praise how incredible Zhang Jingdong was. The atmosphere was ridiculously harmonious, and because of that, the way Lin Xiangwan looked at Zhang Jingdong grew noticeably softer and gentler.
