Zhao Zhuren was stunned, holding the phone.
Jiang Quanshui's arrogant attitude sent a chill down his spine. Long Aotian's terrifying nature was no joke.
Fearing Jiang Quanshui might act rashly, Zhao Zhuren sent him a WeChat message, reiterating his advice.
The WeChat message went unanswered, with Jiang Quanshui showing no inclination to reply.
After Minister Su concluded his meeting, Zhao Zhuren rushed to find him. "Leader, I have something important to report to you."
"What is it?" Minister Su asked.
"It's about Mr. Jiang. He sent me a picture of Team Leader Long kneeling on the ground. I told him that doing so would bring trouble upon himself, but he wouldn't listen." Zhao Zhuren handed over his chat log to Minister Su.
Minister Su frowned after looking at it and said, "You may go. I will call him myself."
Zhao Zhuren felt he had done all he could. If Jiang Quanshui insisted on courting death, there was nothing he could do.
After Zhao Zhuren left, Minister Su directly dialed Jiang Quanshui's number.
"Hello, old classmate, are you done with your work?" Jiang Quanshui answered with a chuckle.
"Stop fooling around. What's going on? Where did you get that photo?" Minister Su asked.
"I took it myself. If you want, I can take more tomorrow, close-ups from all angles. We can even arrange a pose if you like."
Jiang Quanshui's tone was playful, making Minister Su's heart pound with anxiety.
"You're not tricking me?" Minister Su asked softly.
"Of course not. Don't worry about this. I won't do anything thoughtless." Jiang Quanshui knew this was his old classmate's concern and dropped the joking tone.
"Alright, talk later." Minister Su hung up.
Minister Su was somewhat puzzled. Had Jiang Quanshui stumbled upon some incredible luck lately, to have gotten acquainted with Long Aotian?
...
The next day.
Following Xia Lin's suggestion, everyone went to Donghu Lake in Hancheng for an outing.
The group departed from the Ramada Hotel. Jiang Quanshui had already gone down to arrange the motorcade.
"Mr. Jiang, do you need me to stay and help you today?" Jiang Zhongwen asked, walking up to Jiang Quanshui.
"Huh? Help with what? Can't you see I'm the one helping out?"
Jiang Quanshui frowned, secretly cursing Jiang Zhongwen for his lack of insight.
"When I'm the one running errands, you want to snatch my business? Are the people helping out all big shots? Do you think you qualify to join the fun?"
"Uh... alright. Mr. Jiang, just call me if you need anything." Jiang Zhongwen was left speechless by the retort.
It seemed there was nothing wrong with his words.
"Alright, don't pester me unnecessarily." Jiang Quanshui waved his hand, got into his car, and the motorcade headed towards Donghu Lake.
Hancheng Donghu Lake.
Donghu Lake had been a scenic spot since ancient times.
Qu Yuan recited poetry on the banks of Donghu, King Zhuang of Chu beat drums to urge on his troops at Donghu, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei set up an altar at Donghu to worship heaven.
The Southern Song poet Yuan Shuoyou praised Donghu with the lines, "Only the West Lake is in the imperial capital, but Wuchang has a new Donghu." Li Bai penned a poem at Fangying Terrace by the lake.
Moreover, China often received foreign guests here, making Donghu a symbol of Hancheng's picturesque beauty.
"Master, we've arrived." As soon as Long Aotian parked the car, he quickly got out to open the door for Xia Feng.
He had already dismissed the professional chauffeur.
Wasn't driving his job?
Du Lapite, sitting in the car behind, saw Long Aotian, that sycophant, get there first, and immediately rushed to the other side to open the door for Xia Lin.
"Aunt, please alight." Du Lapite was very gentlemanly, performing a standard European bow.
Xia Lin blushed upon being called "Aunt" by an old man.
"Duke Peter, please just call me Lin'er. Calling me Aunt makes me feel old," Xia Lin suggested.
"Alright, Aunt."
Xia Lin: ...
Jiang Quanshui had already contacted the scenic area and specially chartered a two-story sightseeing boat.
"Wow... it's so beautiful here, and the boat looks great too! I'm going to live stream on the boat," Xia Lin exclaimed excitedly upon boarding.
"Lin'er, quickly come to the top of the boat to start your stream, the view is better up there," shouted the National Little King from the top deck.
"Okay," Xia Lin replied and followed him up.
"Young Master Xia, let them have their fun. Let's go inside the boat for some tea," Jiang Quanshui said.
"Let's go." Xia Feng nodded.
Xia Lin's Live Stream Room.
"Hi everyone, guess where I am?" Xia Lin asked, panning the camera around.
Father of Light Country: Where is this? Such a beautiful place?
Fairy Herself: It looks like a lake.
Dao Teng Qi Lin: Sister upstairs, you just said something obvious. Anyone with eyes can tell it's a lake.
Fairy Herself: ...
Sword Generation: Awesome, do girls talk so boldly now?
Mu Se Feng Ye: I weakly ask, how can one use their backside so expertly?
Night Emperor: Isn't this Donghu Lake in Hancheng?
Wine Cellar - Grape Wine: Be more confident, remove the 'isn't', this is indeed Donghu Lake.
Light Son of Wu Yu: Lin'er, are you going to the Shark Platform's 7th Anniversary Gala?
Oldfish: Tomorrow is the Shark Platform's 7th Anniversary Gala.
Pig Climbing Trees: Lin'er, I'm also in Hancheng. I'm going to Donghu Lake now, hoping for a chance encounter.
"Hehe... you guessed right, it's Donghu Lake in Hancheng. Remember to watch the official live broadcast tomorrow night." Xia Lin said with a smile.
Thinking about tomorrow night's broadcast, Xia Lin felt a surge of excitement. It was her first time attending such a grand event.
Qin Lan: You should have said so earlier, otherwise I would have found a way to get a ticket.
Waer Da Di: Lin'er will be the brightest star tomorrow night.
Zha Tian Bang - Xu Que: Lin'er, we'll be waiting for you on the official broadcast tomorrow night.
Zha Tian Bang - Xu Que sent a Rocket +10 with the message: Lin'er, keep it up.
"Look, is that Lin'er on that boat that just passed?"
At this moment, several men on another cruise ship said.
They were also streamers from the Shark Platform, invited to attend the platform's 7th-anniversary celebration. Every influencer who came to Hancheng had to visit this sacred spot.
"Let's check her live stream to see." one of them said.
"It really is. I didn't expect a chicken to turn into a phoenix. A small influencer has been elevated by two young masters in just a few days. That's the power of capital."
A man with a somewhat handsome face, wearing an earring and with a tattoo on his neck, said sourly.
He was Ah Dong, a top-tier game streamer on the Shark Platform. He had often complained about female streamers who relied on their looks instead of their skills, just knowing how to show off.
Xia Lin, as a game streamer, naturally fell within his criticism.
Now that Xia Lin had suddenly become popular, he felt a bit unbalanced.
No matter how well you play games, it's no match for lying around.
