After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 363

Lin Tianwu let out a shrill laugh on the other end of the phone: "Do it yourself? Don't be ridiculous, Su Qingyan."

"Without Lin Ling helping you connect with people and build relationships, how could you possibly succeed?"

"Your so-called business plans were doomed from the very first step. You really think you're something special, believing you can make a name for yourself in the business world single-handedly?"

Su Qingyan's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred: "Lin Tianwu, you've gone too far! I don't believe it, I don't believe my previous achievements were fake."

"Even without Lin Ling, I can prove my abilities and show that important person my value. I'm not someone who can only rely on my looks to please him!"

Lin Tianwu snorted coldly, his tone becoming increasingly contemptuous: "Fine, go ahead and prove it."

"But let me give you a piece of advice: that big shot has seen it all. Your little tricks are nothing but child's play in his eyes."

"If you don't seize this one and only opportunity now, you'll regret it later."

"Don't worry about it!" Su Qingyan said through gritted teeth, "I'll go and find a way to pay back all the money I owe."

"No matter what, I, Su Qingyan, would never become someone else's plaything just because of a little money."

“Then I’ll wait and see,” Lin Tianwu said slowly. “Let’s see how you, the former ‘business genius,’ turn things around in a desperate situation. I hope you can still be this tough then.”

After he finished speaking, a dial tone came from the phone, and Lin Tianwu hung up.

Su Qingyan stood there, both anxious and angry.

In the end, all he could do was squat on the ground in despair, burying his face in his hands and weeping bitterly.

......

night.

Lin Ling and Li Qitian arrived at a residential area.

The community looks ordinary, with gray walls bearing the marks of time, and the security booth at the entrance is also a bit old. The residents coming and going are dressed plainly, just like any other community.

But Lin Ling and Li Qitian both knew this.

The neighborhood looks ordinary, but it's full of important figures who are prominent in the Nanzhou government.

Li Qitian said nervously, "Dude, are you kidding me? This really isn't a trap?"

"If you're scared, just stay outside," Lin Ling said irritably.

Li Qitian was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Lin Ling.

I took the elevator to the top floor and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door slowly opened, and the mayor's wife, a gentle and elegant woman, opened the door.

She was dressed in an elegant cheongsam, with a perfectly timed smile on her face and kind eyes: "You must be Xiaolin and Xiaoli, come in quickly."

The middle-aged, balding mayor was sitting at the dining table. Hearing the noise, he smiled and stood up, saying, "Please come in quickly, the food is almost ready."

He greeted us warmly, his plump face full of sincerity, showing no trace of the arrogance often associated with those in positions of power.

The more this happened, the more uncertain Li Qitian felt. He could only follow Lin Ling step by step into the house, occasionally stealing glances at the surroundings.

Fearing that the mayor would use the smashing of the cup as a signal to summon executioners to chop them both up, they were in a panic.

Lin Ling shook hands with the mayor with an air of nonchalance and sat down with a composed expression.

It was as if the person opposite him wasn't the mayor of Nanzhou, but just an ordinary old man.

The mayor's calm gaze subtly observed Lin Ling, his eyes revealing a hint of astonishment.

Fortunately, he listened to Lin Ling's advice; otherwise, he and his old boss would have been finished.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Ling gave him a second chance at life.

The old leader also instructed that Lin Ling must be properly thanked and not treated as an ordinary young man.

The mayor smiled and pulled out chairs for Lin Ling and Li Qitian, saying, "Don't be shy, make yourselves at home."

But after hearing this, Li Qitian couldn't relax at all. He only dared to sit on the edge of the chair, his smile was more like a grimace, and his hands were placed properly on his knees.
