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

Chapter 635

Lin Ling nodded slightly, but did not immediately respond to Xiao Jian's enthusiasm. Instead, she turned her gaze to the entrance hall of Zuixian Pavilion.

A few seconds later, he slowly spoke to Xiao Jian, saying, "Mr. Xiao, you're too kind. The reputation of Zui Xian Ge is renowned throughout Nanzhou. It's my honor to be here today."

These words affirmed the status of Zuixian Pavilion, and Lin Ling's humble attitude made Xiao Jian feel particularly comfortable.

"Mr. Lin, you flatter me. Our shop's reputation today is all thanks to the support of distinguished customers like you."

Xiao Jian's smile widened, and as he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.

There were already some customers gathered at the entrance of Zuixian Pavilion.

Some of them were business people, and some were members of the petit bourgeoisie. They were all talking amongst themselves or waiting to enter the restaurant.

When Lin Ling's convoy arrived, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

The extended black Hummer is eye-catching enough on its own.

Moreover, the person who got out of the car was Lin Ling, along with twelve bodyguards in black.

Such a display is rare in Nanzhou City.

People stopped talking and turned their attention to this place.

"Who...who is that? What a grand entrance!"

A stylish young woman couldn't help but say to her male companion.

"I don't know, but judging from his appearance, he must be a big shot!"

The male companion replied, his eyes also fixed on Lin Ling's convoy.

"That Hummer, is it a custom version? I saw it in a magazine, it seems to cost tens of millions!"

As the woman spoke, an envious look appeared on her face.

Not far from them, several middle-aged men who were smoking also stopped talking and turned their gazes toward Lin Ling.

"This setup looks familiar..."

One of the middle-aged men stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Old Wang, do you know him?"

Another man asked.

"It seems to be... President Lin of Lingyun Group!"

The middle-aged man, referred to as Old Wang, said somewhat uncertainly.

"Lingyun Group? President Lin?"

The others all looked surprised.

"Is that... Lin Ling, who's been making headlines lately?"

"Who else could it be but him? In the entire Nanzhou City, there are very few young people who can put on such a grand show."

Old Wang said with certainty.

"This Lin Ling is truly remarkable! I've heard that he's so young yet has already taken control of the entire Lingyun Group; his methods are extraordinary!"

"His methods are not just extraordinary, they're practically manipulating events at will! I've heard that his relationship with Mayor Song Gui is also quite unusual."

"It seems Lin Ling is now one of the local tyrants in Nanzhou City. We can't afford to mess with him!"

On the other side of the crowd, several well-dressed young women were also whispering among themselves.

"Sisters, look! That man is so handsome!"

Wow! He's really handsome! And he drives a luxury car and has bodyguards!

"This is practically the real-life version of a domineering CEO! Ladies, isn't anyone tempted?"

"What's the use of being attracted? They definitely wouldn't be interested in ordinary people like us."

"That's not necessarily true! What if they actually like this kind of food?"

"Stop dreaming! A man of this caliber must be surrounded by goddess-level women."

"Ah, what a pity, I'm getting a bit old, otherwise..."

One of the women sighed and said with some regret.

"So what if I'm older? I'm more charming with age!"

A young woman retorted.

"Haven't you heard? Older woman/younger man relationships are all the rage now!"

"Exactly! As long as you take good care of yourself, age is not a problem at all!"

"Sisters, go for it! Go get their contact information! Who knows, you might be the next one to marry into a wealthy family!"

The women became more and more excited as they talked, as if they could already see their bright future of rising to prominence.

They chattered away, completely unaware that the people around them were looking at them strangely.

Lin Ling did not notice the reactions of these onlookers.

He maintained his calm and composed demeanor as he spoke with Xiao Jian.
