Chapter 226 Hero
You guessed perfectly!

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't overthink it."

Gu Yuexi hummed in agreement: "I was just overthinking things."

Soon, the two arrived at the hotel entrance, and Lin Chen stopped: "Alright, you can go up now."

Gu Yuexi blinked: "Aren't you going to see me inside?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'm not very resistant to beautiful women. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist their corrupting influence, so it's best to keep myself out of dangerous environments."

Gu Yuexi slapped Lin Chen and pouted, "Then give me a kiss!"

Lin Chen smiled and kissed Gu Yuexi, who then happily hugged him before turning and entering the hotel.

Lin Chen stared blankly at Gu Yuexi's light and cheerful figure.

He had never imagined that there would be a woman who loved him so unconditionally, so passionately, like a moth drawn to a flame.

How could I bear to hurt a woman like that?
……

The next day at noon, Li Linyuan called Lin Chen into his office and slammed a stack of banknotes in front of him.

"A prize of ten thousand!"

Since it had already been mentioned before, Lin Chen didn't waste any more words, picked it up directly, and said with a smile, "I'll take it, no need to be polite."

Li Linyuan laughed and said, "It was meant to be yours anyway."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Then tonight, I'll treat everyone who isn't working to dinner and drinks. For those who are working and can't participate, I'll give each of them a carton of cigarettes as compensation."

Li Linyuan instructed, "Just buy cigarettes that cost a dozen yuan a pack."

"to make!"

After Li Linyuan announced the matter, everyone cheered.

No one objected to Lin Chen receiving the prize money alone, since he earned it through his own ability. They hadn't helped him at all, so even if it were given to them, they wouldn't have the face to accept it.

The place to eat was not at Sanwa Food Stall, but at a seafood food stall not far from the pharmaceutical factory.

Since you're treating, be generous.

Aside from the security guards on duty, the rest of the group filled a large round table.

Lin Chen ordered a huge table full of fish, shrimp, and crab, and brought several cases of beer. Everyone started drinking in a lively atmosphere.

Lin Chen had just taken a bite when his phone rang.

Liu Zhenhao.

"Mr. Lin, you've arrived in Linhai?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, it's for work. I'm here to stay for a while." Liu Zhenhao complained, "Mr. Lin, you're being too polite. You've come to Linhai without even telling me. If I hadn't been talking to Lao Gu, I wouldn't have known."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I didn't have anything to do. You're busy, so I didn't bother you."

Liu Zhenhao replied readily, "No matter how busy I am, I can still have a meal and a drink. Where are you now? I'll come find you for a drink."

Lin Chen replied, "I'm at the Sixth Pharmaceutical Factory, having drinks with my colleagues right now. It's my treat today, so I can't leave."

Liu Zhenhao laughed heartily: "The Sixth Pharmaceutical Factory isn't far, only twenty minutes away. Since you're treating, you don't mind if I mooch a meal off you, do you?"

Since Liu Zhenhao had already said that, Lin Chen naturally couldn't refuse: "They're all security guards from our factory, running a roadside food stall. If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, I can send you the location. We've just started here."

Liu Zhenhao laughed and said, "What's there to mind? Drinking beer at a street food stall in the summer is so refreshing. It's my favorite thing to do, even for a rough guy like me."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give you my location. I'm working as a security guard at the factory now. Just call me by my name, don't call me Mr. Lin."

"Work as a security guard?"

Liu Zhenhao was taken aback for a moment, but he wisely didn't ask any more questions and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll call you by your name, but don't call me President Liu, just call me Lao Liu."

"Row!"

Half an hour later, Liu Zhenhao's car stopped fifty meters away from the food stall. Liu Zhenhao got out of the car and walked over from the side of the street.

"Lin Chen."

Lin Chen looked up and immediately smiled.

Liu Zhenhao was wearing a large t-shirt, shorts, and sandals, and he wasn't even wearing his million-dollar watch. His outfit was very down-to-earth, and it didn't look out of place at all.

Liu Zhenhao plopped down next to Lin Chen and introduced himself with a smile: "Liu Hao, you can just call me Lao Liu."

Someone handed Liu Zhenhao a beer and said with a smile, "We've all drunk so much, you have to finish this."

Liu Zhenhao readily replied, "Of course, I'll drink three cups as punishment first."

Liu Zhenhao downed three glasses of beer in one go, one mug and one bottle, then put down the glass, wiped his mouth, and exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Everyone cheered, and the atmosphere became very lively.

Lin Chen secretly admired Liu Zhenhao. He was indeed a big shot who had risen from the bottom. He could eat at a top restaurant with banquets costing tens of thousands of yuan per table and chat with the powerful and wealthy. He could also sit on the street with the working class, drinking beer that cost a few yuan a bottle, bragging, and telling crude jokes.

Such a person, if born in a chaotic era, would undoubtedly become a powerful and ruthless leader.

The group drank until 10 p.m. At Li Linyuan's invitation, he led the security guards, who were thoroughly enjoying themselves, to leave first. When he said goodbye to Lin Chen, Li Linyuan's eyes held a slightly strange look.

When Liu Zhenhao arrived, Li Linyuan was smoking. He happened to see the luxurious Mercedes under the streetlights in the distance, and he also saw the number 6 on the license plate...
