Lin Hong said this to show off her impressive network in front of Gu Yanxi.

Moreover, she intended to introduce Gu Yanxi to Boss Yang with bad intentions, as Boss Yang was notorious for liking to keep mistresses.

Lin Hong actually wanted to introduce Gu Yanxi to Boss Yang as a mistress. This way, she could display her connections, please Boss Yang, and humiliate Gu Yanxi, making it a win-win situation.

After a short while, a man with a briefcase under his arm, wearing a trench coat and sporting a short buzz cut, walked into the restaurant.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Manager Yang waved to Lin Hong and the others.

"Oh, you're too kind, Boss Yang, Da Zhi and I just arrived," Lin Hong quickly put on a flattering smile as she saw Boss Yang come in.

"Haha, who are these two?" Boss Yang glanced at Luo Chao and Gu Yanxi.

"Oh, they are my college classmates, just happened to meet." Lin Hong replied.

"Your college classmates? Looks like she's a fellow Hua Dan University graduate, come on, have a seat together." Boss Yang, being a businessman, was naturally affable and outgoing.

Then, everyone sat around a table together.

"Lin Hong, what's your college classmate's name? Where is she working?" Boss Yang puffed a puff of smoke and his eyes roved over Gu Yanxi.

Beautiful! She's an absolute beauty, even without makeup—how pretty would she be with makeup? Boss Yang thought.

Upon hearing Boss Yang's inquiry, Lin Hong immediately leaned over and whispered a few words into Boss Yang's ear, and Boss Yang's eyes lit up at once.

"Hehe, Miss Gu, would you be interested in becoming my secretary? I run an international clothing trading company and desperately need talents like you from Hua Dan University! Your monthly salary, well, it depends on your performance; perform well, and it certainly won't be low!" Boss Yang said in a tempting tone.

What he meant by "performance" was certainly not work performance, but performance in bed.

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Gu Yanxi refused bluntly, easily seeing through Boss Yang's intentions.

Boss Yang, seeing Gu Yanxi's curt refusal, assumed she didn't understand his meaning.

After all, having found several mistresses in Huahai City, all of whom were gold diggers, he didn't believe any woman wouldn't like money.

"Ahem, Miss Gu, I meant a capable secretary." Saying this, Boss Yang extended a salty pig hand, attempting to touch Gu Yanxi's hand.

However, Gu Yanxi quickly noticed Boss Yang's intentions and promptly withdrew her hand, leaving Boss Yang unsuccessful.

The side Lin Hong saw Gu Yanxi repeatedly rejecting Boss Yang and thought Gu Yanxi wasn't aware of Boss Yang's wealth.

She then deliberately asked Boss Yang loudly, "Boss Yang, your trench coat is quite impressive, how much was it?"

"Oh, a cheap item, just eight thousand yuan." Boss Yang, at this moment, understood Lin Hong's intent and deliberately feigned nonchalance.

Actually, although Boss Yang was wealthy, an eight thousand yuan coat wasn't cheap for him either.

"You've got great taste, Boss Yang, and what about your bag? This brand is… crocodile skin!" Lin Hong feigned surprise.

"Oh, just picked it up abroad, about ten thousand yuan." Boss Yang took a sip of wine, neither blushing nor trembling.

In truth, this crocodile skin bag was a high-quality counterfeit "super A" product, which even cost him a full five thousand bucks.

But Lin Hong couldn't distinguish the difference between the "super A" product and the genuine article, believing Boss Yang was wealthy, and this left her quite stirred.

Were it not for her boyfriend being nearby, Lin Hong would have loved to be Boss Yang's mistress herself.

Of course, that depended on whether Boss Yang was interested in her.

Lin Hong then gave a disdainful glance at Luo Chao, saying, "Gu Yanxi, look at how impressive Boss Yang is; just two random items on him add up to tens of thousands. Look at your boyfriend's suit uniform; I'm afraid even his savings combined don't match up to the value of Boss Yang's two items!"

By saying this much, Lin Hong already made her point clear; it was now up to Gu Yanxi to react.

Although Luo Chao had been ridiculed by Lin Hong all the time, he remained indifferent, continuing to quietly eat the meal in front of him.

Initially, Boss Yang didn't pay attention to Luo Chao, because Gu Yanxi beside him was so beautiful that he hadn't given Luo Chao a glance.

Now that Lin Hong brought it up, he was reminded.

Consequently, Boss Yang's gaze suddenly shifted to Luo Chao.

As it turned out, Boss Yang's observation shocked him.

Immediately, Boss Yang pulled a product catalog out from his briefcase and started flipping through it, comparing with the clothing photos in it.

"It actually is this piece." Boss Yang's mouth opened wide, and he muttered to himself.

"Boss Yang, what are you saying?" Lin Hong poured Boss Yang another glass of wine, looking more considerate than to her own boyfriend.

"This young man's suit is this year's Armani limited edition, crafted by top Italian tailors. The current market price is thirty thousand yuan!" Boss Yang, wiping sweat from his forehead, muttered in a trembling voice.

"Thirty thousand yuan!" When hearing this number, Lin Hong and her boyfriend Da Zhi were both stunned.

Lin Hong looked incredulous; she had ridiculed Luo Chao's clothes earlier as company uniform, unsuspecting that it was such an expensive luxury suit.

Da Zhi was even more shocked; since entering the restaurant, he hadn't really looked at Luo Chao, even privately disdainful that Luo Chao was merely a bodyguard.

But imagine, would someone wearing a thirty thousand yuan suit just be a simple bodyguard?

"Boss Yang, are you sure it's this piece? Let me see." Lin Hong still held hope, hurriedly snatching the product catalog from Boss Yang's hands, and carefully compared it to her earlier photos and Luo Chao's clothes.

Indeed, identical.

At this moment, Lin Hong was so ashamed she wished she could ram into a wall; it was akin to a pancake seller boasting their earnings to Bill Gates.

Practicing sword skills at Guan Gong's door, Lin Hong finally understood the saying's meaning.

Gu Yanxi had anticipated Lin Hong and the others' reaction: Luo Chao's Armani suit was one she had chosen for him herself.

"Boss Yang, could his clothes perhaps be counterfeit?" Despite everything, Da Zhi remained calm as a man, searching for a final hope amidst such embarrassment.

"Da Zhi, I deal with international clothing, I can tell the difference between A-grade products and genuine items." Boss Yang wore a bitter expression, although reluctant to admit it, the fact was Luo Chao's suit was authentic.

Hearing Boss Yang confirm it once again, Da Zhi desperately wished he could vanish into thin air.

Only now did he realize how ugly and ignorant he and Lin Hong had looked before Luo Chao!

It was precisely at this moment that Miao Shiyun finally returned, seemingly having cleaned her clothes. "I'm back, you haven't finished the dishes, have you?"
