Chapter 306: The Least Reliable Relationship!
Chapter 306: The Least Reliable Relationship!
After seeing Lin Muxue, Bao Tai immediately reported, "Director Lin, I think in addition to normal appreciation, we can also carve some pumpkin sculptures from these pumpkins. We can carve out scenes from movies, like the Ten Brothers, and fairy tale characters such as Brother Bear and the Pumpkin Brothers."
Upon hearing his suggestion, Lin Muxue nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea. Later, when we develop the Pumpkin House accommodation project, we'll invite people to create the Pumpkin Houses. At that time, you can discuss your idea with the construction team and have them carve the statues directly."
"Okay, Director Lin," Bao Tai nodded eagerly.
He was delighted that his idea was approved.
Soon after, Zhang Lin approached Lin Muxue and joined her in strolling through the pumpkin forest.
As Zhang Lin ventured deeper into the forest, he noticed the absence of other voices, and he chuckled, "Senior Sister, this pumpkin forest is quite secluded as we go further in. If someone wanted to do something, they might not be discovered. Don't you think some people might seek thrills and engage in certain activities here?"
Lin Muxue immediately shot him a glare. "I can't speak for others, but I certainly wouldn't do such a thing."
Zhang Lin teased, "Senior Sister, you said the same thing in the Bagua Array, but later on, weren't you the one who got more excited?"
Hearing this, Lin Muxue directly kicked him.
Why was this guy's mind becoming increasingly twisted?
Why bring up such a sensitive topic! In that situation, it was the embarrassment that made her take the initiative to feel less ashamed; otherwise, she would have been too nervous to breathe.
But this guy used it to tease her.
She decided to call Fu Yao in front of him, a move that would surely intimidate this guy with his lewd thoughts.
However, this time, she found that Fu Yao wasn't answering her call.
"Yao Yao is still in class, and her phone is on silent, so she can't be reached," Zhang Lin said as he moved closer and hugged Lin Muxue from behind. "Are you thinking of inviting her over again? Are you worried I'll take advantage of you? I might just take advantage of both of you at any moment."
"You're asking for trouble! Don't you fear being discovered?" Lin Muxue glared at him, speechless.
Just as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a drone approaching from above.
Before the drone reached directly overhead, Zhang Lin released Lin Muxue.
Despite his words, he knew where to draw the line.
Time passed, and half a day quickly went by.
Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue returned to the office center, and the operations team had also come back. Now, they needed to edit the filmed footage for promotional purposes.
Meanwhile, Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue held a brief meeting to discuss the Pumpkin House project. Afterward, Zhang Lin made a phone call.
Yu City, Jinmao Building.
Huang Tao was entertaining two former classmates at a tea table. The two classmates, along with Huang Tao and Zhang Lin, were all from the same class.
His secretary was preparing tea.
What annoyed him was that the gazes of the two classmates seemed to wander, constantly lingering on his secretary.
Although the secretary wasn't his wife, she was his bedmate, and when he took her out for meals or drinks, he introduced her as his girlfriend.
At this moment, the gazes of the two classmates offended him. If he had known, he wouldn't have bothered with them.
"Huang Tao, you're still the most successful one in our class!"
"That's right. Look at your company and how smoothly your engineering projects are going.
"I'm so jealous of you. You managed to connect with Liyuan Farm and even got their engineering project. As for us, we're struggling like crazy."
"Huang Tao, do you think there's a chance we could get to know someone from Liyuan Farm?"
This was their true intention. After graduation, they had lost touch, and now they suddenly showed up unannounced, which was never a good sign.
The boss of Liyuan Farm was Zhang Lin, a high school classmate of theirs. If these two had been in contact with Zhang Lin, they wouldn't be here now, trying to cozy up to him.
It was also their fault for taking on those two factory projects. After that, their reputation in Youcheng had indeed grown, and many investors in the city knew that he had special connections. They all wanted to collaborate with him.
These two old classmates had also heard the news and decided to pay him a visit.
Just then, his phone rang, and to his surprise, it was Zhang Lin's number.
He turned to the two classmates and said, "It's Zhang Lin calling. I'll take this."
He intentionally mentioned Zhang Lin's name to gauge their reaction.
When Zhang Lin answered the call, his voice came through, "Huang Tao, are you free? Come over for some tea. I have something to discuss with you."
"Sure," Huang Tao replied promptly. From Zhang Lin's tone, it was clear that he had another project for him.
After hanging up, he saw the two old classmates, who didn't seem too surprised by Zhang Lin's name.
One of them asked in confusion, "Zhang Lin? That sounds so familiar. Was he in our class too?"
The other one laughed and said, "Yes, he was in our class. I used to be in touch with him, and we had a pretty good relationship."
"But he's not doing well at all. This year, he even borrowed 20,000 yuan from me. At the time, I heard that his family had some issues, and I knew he had borrowed from other classmates too, but it seemed like he didn't intend to pay back."
"I didn't fall for his trick, so I didn't meet him at all and directly blocked him."
Huang Tao was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Looking at his old classmate, he felt like he was looking at a fool.
This person used to have a good relationship with Zhang Lin, and now he had blocked him so easily?
Did he still worry that Zhang Lin wouldn't pay him back? If he had borrowed that 20,000 yuan back then, he could have used Zhang Lin's connections now. Zhang Lin was the boss of Liyuan Farm.
Moreover, Huang Tao knew Zhang Lin well. For this classmate to ask for such a favor, their relationship must have been good at the time.
But clearly, this classmate had no idea what a great opportunity he had missed and was still feeling proud of himself.
The classmate could only sense Huang Tao's strange gaze and smiled, saying, "Huang Tao, you should be careful of Zhang Lin. He definitely has an agenda in contacting you, and who knows when he might ask to borrow money."
"..." Huang Tao was stunned, his face full of disbelief. Zhang Lin wanted to borrow money from him? What was he thinking?
This classmate had no idea how well Zhang Lin was doing now.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right!" Huang Tao quickly laughed and said to the classmate, "I have something to attend to now, so I'll step out for a bit. Feel free to make yourselves at home."
As he spoke, he stood up and started walking out, not forgetting to signal his secretary.
The secretary understood and immediately went into the inner office, no longer in the mood to make tea for these two.
The two men also sensed something was amiss, their faces turning gloomy. They left awkwardly.
What a bunch of useless classmates!
The most unreliable relationships in this world are those with classmates!
