However, when he saw five beautiful women, each with a different appearance but equally stunning looks, all falling for Su Lin, Song Juncheng became wary.
To see if a man is capable, look at the woman beside him. If the woman is beautiful and outstanding, then this man is definitely not an ordinary person.
The two took another elevator.
As soon as Su Lin stepped out of the elevator, she saw Qin Deshu and Su Zhenguo chatting happily.
Qin Deshu was somewhat surprised to see Su Lin and his group come out. He hadn't expected Su Lin to be surrounded by so many beautiful women, especially Li Ziyu, who was among them.
There's also Lin Xiaowan, whose background is unclear, but her demeanor suggests she has an extraordinary background as well.
"grandfather...."
"Dad~!"
Qin Deshu nodded: "Xiaoyue, take good care of your friends."
Qin Jiuyue nodded with a smile.
Su Zhenguo looked at Su Lin with a dark expression. Although he and Su Lin rarely saw each other, he still cared a lot about his only son. It could be said that he knew most of what Su Lin was doing.
Especially the women around Su Lin, now seeing Su Lin so openly letting them appear together.
Su Zhenguo didn't know whether to admire or blame him.
"Dad! Don't leave after the auction ends, I need to talk to you."
Su Zhenguo was stunned again, then laughed and scolded, "You brat, you're even making arrangements for your dad now. I'll be waiting for you at the teahouse downstairs in a bit."
Su Lin nodded. He decided to hand over all the blueprints for Tesla and mobile phones to Su Zhenguo to work on.
There was no other way; the women around him had already begun their cultivation, and they couldn't devote all their energy to work anymore, so it was best to leave it to Su Zhenguo to handle.
"Dad, you two can talk about serious matters now. We're going to the private room."
Su Zhenguo nodded, and then he and Qin Deshu went into a private room next door.
Su Lin glanced at it and saw that it was VIP room number 1.
He sighed, marveling at how Su Zhenguo had received such high-level treatment for just 4G communication technology. He wondered what would happen if he had brought out Tesla and Apple phones.
As soon as the two entered the room, Xiao Chen and Song Juncheng came out from the elevator lobby next to them.
Song Juncheng saw Su Lin and his group. Thinking of getting revenge for Su Lin's earlier disregard, he walked up to Lin Xiaowan with a gentlemanly smile. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiaowan hugged Su Lin's arm and rubbed against him. "Su Lin, it smells so bad here. Let's go."
Song Juncheng's smile froze on his face. He snorted coldly and continued walking forward.
Xiao Chen, who was behind him, quickly followed.
Taking this opportunity, Su Lin patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder: "Hurry up and find another backer, this one is really lacking in brains."
Xiao Chen, his face contorted with anger, clenched his fists and finally let out a cold snort before following Song Juncheng away.
Su Lin wore a faint smile, but her eyes held a hint of surprise.
Just now, he used the "Hidden Hands" technique for the first time and unexpectedly stole the Seven-Turn Rejuvenation Pill that Wang Yannian had given to Xiao Chen.
This elixir is truly a treasure for healing.
Whether you are an ordinary person or a martial artist, no matter how serious your injuries are, as long as you are not dead, you can take this pill. It can greatly improve your physical injuries and heal you in just a few days. It is very miraculous.
The reason why Xiao Chen could be so resilient, like a cockroach that he could never be killed, and who would be on the verge of death but would come back to life after a few days, was all thanks to the Seven-Turn Rejuvenation Pill given to him by Wang Yannian.
This is an elixir discovered by Wang Yannian and the Taiyi Divine Needle.
The reason Wang Yannian has stayed on the mountain all these years and refused to leave is that he wanted to replicate this elixir.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that this kind of pill was not something ordinary martial artists could cultivate; it was a pill that could only be refined after one had cultivated immortality.
Therefore, even if he didn't cultivate immortality, he would never be able to replicate it even if he stayed on the mountain until he died of old age.
"Su Lin, what good news have you thought of that makes you smile so happily?"
Su Lin raised an eyebrow and looked at the aloof Li Ziyu beside him; "Am I smiling?"
Li Ziyu nodded: "Although it's not obvious, I can observe it. I've read books about micro-expressions."
Su Lin: "???"
"It's not always a good thing for a woman to be too smart," Su Lin remarked.
Li Ziyu, completely unconcerned, replied, "Isn't being too smart a disadvantage? It makes you harder to fool."
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan and Zhao Yan in front of her; "Do you think they're stupid?"
Li Ziyu shook her head.
"Look how clever they are, they still fell for my tricks," Su Lin said with a chuckle.
Li Ziyu rolled her eyes at Su Lin upon hearing this; "Aren't you afraid they'll fight if there are too many women?"
Su Lin looked at Li Ziyu and smiled, "Would you fight with them?"
"Of course not..."
Li Ziyu suddenly realized what Su Lin meant by that, and gave Su Lin a playful glare.
However, their gazes weren't particularly menacing; they were more like the playful affection between lovers.
Looking at Li Ziyu in front of him, Su Lin would never have known that Li Ziyu's feelings for him were so deep if he hadn't seen that her favorability rating was almost 90.
How about we find an opportunity?
Su Lin shook his head. Right now, they should deal with Xiao Chen first. As for Li Ziyu and Qin Jiuyue, there was no rush. They could take their time.
He doesn't lack women now; he has two at home and another at the company, so there's no need to rush things.
This gradual improvement, this feeling of things falling into place naturally, is what Su Lin likes best.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go in." Li Ziyu gently nudged Su Lin.
She guessed that Su Lin was up to no good, so she interrupted him.
Su Lin snapped out of her daze and followed Li Ziyu into the private room.
Once inside the private room, Su Lin realized just how large this auction house, Treasure Pavilion, truly was.
The private room had an open window with a great view, offering a clear view of the main hall and the auction stage.
"Please have a seat. I'll go and have someone bring in some food, and while I'm at it, I'll find out who that person with Xiao Chen is."
Hearing Qin Jiuyue's words, the girls nodded.
"Xiaoyue, don't go causing trouble. Those two young men aren't ordinary people; they have martial arts skills," Su Lin whispered a reminder.
Su Lin knew Qin Jiuyue's personality all too well; this girl might just go looking for trouble.
Of course, this doesn't mean openly picking a fight, but rather finding ways to embarrass them or cause trouble.
Su Lin felt that Qin Jiuyue was still too young. People like Xiao Chen and Song Junming would either not make a move or be crushed to death.
Qin Jiuyue pouted and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? I wouldn't go and cause trouble."
Seeing this, Su Lin nodded: "Then go ahead."
Qin Jiuyue was unhappy that Su Lin treated her like a child, so she snorted and left the room.
A few minutes later, Qin Jiuyue returned to the private room and said somewhat anxiously, "Su... Su Lin, I've found out who that guy is."
Su Lin handed Qin Jiuyue a glass of water; "What's the rush? The sky isn't going to fall. Tell me slowly."
Qin Jiuyue took a few sips of water before speaking, "That arrogant guy is from the Song family of Jingzhou. He's the young master of the Song family named Song Juncheng. It seems he came to Donghai this time to look for someone. As for Xiao Chen, it seems the Song family owes Xiao Chen's master a favor, so they're protecting him as well."
"The Song family of Jingzhou? The Song family whose patriarch is Song Zhiming?" Su Lin asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuyue asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Su Lin shrugged: "Isn't the Song family of Jingzhou quite famous? Do I know what the problem is?"
"But we don't know much about Song Zhiming," Li Ziyu said calmly.
Su Lin already knew who the middle-aged man who saved Zhong Xincheng was.
Song Zhigang, the second son of the Song family, was originally a remarkable man, but unfortunately he lost the power struggle with Song Zhiming.
In the original novel, Xiao Chen first met Song Zhigang, then helped Song Zhigang fight against the Song family, and finally helped Song Zhigang rise to power.
And now this guy has actually gotten in touch with Song Zhiming.
You know, Song Zhigang just saved him, how could he sell him out so quickly?
"Ziyu, do you still remember the middle-aged man who rescued Xiao Chen from my hands before?"
Li Ziyu nodded; "I remember... he has connections with the Song family?"
Su Lin nodded: "He is Song Zhigang, the second son of the Song family, Song Zhiming's younger brother, and Song Juncheng's second uncle."
"So it was him."
Li Ziyu had also heard about the Song family's power grab; it was a huge scandal at the time, and many families in Jiangnan were involved (in Qian De's case).
In the end, the eldest son, Song Zhiming, proved to be the most cunning and seized the position of family head.
"So he came to see Song Zhigang?" Li Ziyu asked, suddenly realizing what was going on.
Su Lin nodded; "That's definitely the case, and they're definitely up to no good. Given Song Zhiming's ruthless nature, they definitely want to get rid of Song Zhigang."
Li Ziyu was not at all surprised by this kind of drama where a large family kills its own relatives for power; she herself almost killed Li Weifeng.
