The moment he met Ji Bonong's gaze, Lin Jie felt an inexplicable guilty conscience rushing to his heart.

What's the matter with the feeling that I raped someone else's daughter face to face at that time, and now I'm about to be questioned by someone?

To be reasonable, he was just fooling around by pouring chicken soup... Ahem, he got a loyal customer through psychological counseling, and received some not particularly expensive gifts...

Well, it sounds really similar to the scammer's routine, first gain trust, then ask for money through various means, keep the water flowing, drain the other party's tiredness, and finally run away with the money.

Although, he actually helped solve the problem.

And since Ji Bonong came over in person at that time, and finally left without incident, and let Ji Zhixu invite him to cooperate, it must be because he confirmed the fact that Boss Lin is a good person...

--Bar?

Lin Jie quickly and carefully recalled the conversation with Ji Zhixu at that time, as well as his own words and deeds during the process, to make sure that he did not speak ill of the biggest dog tycoon of NUO, and also expressed a certain degree of respect.

Hmm... She even said that next time she saw Ji Bonong, she would give him a book as a gift.

This time, I brought the gift in my dream. Because of Ji Bonong’s identity as a businessman, he deliberately chose a book on economics, "A Study of the Nature and Causes of National Wealth" - "The Wealth of Nations" for short. .

Although judging from NUO Gold's current completely deformed monopoly business structure, this book does not seem to be very useful, but it is said that now the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce has found a second passage leading to the underground, and maybe the Luoer Resources family will be the only one in the future. Will the big situation be broken slowly?

Moreover, this foundational work of economics in another world, known as the bible of Western economics, will always have an enlightening part.

At least, from Ji Bonong's perspective, he must be able to find the part he needs from it.

Lin Jie felt that this gift was definitely in place, and there was a high probability that he would be able to gain a new customer. The previous embarrassment was nothing.

Besides, I am now a legitimate guest, a legitimate invitation, and a legitimate coming to the banquet, so why should I be guilty?

Moreover, shouldn't it be Ji Bonong who should be guilty?

This big dog has a lot of eyes. He was thinking about why Miss Ji came out casually and no one came to investigate, and there was no such plot of "you take the two million, don't pester the lady anymore", so he dared to kiss her directly. Dad went into battle... and even pretended to be a driver to test it out!

It's like not even the most basic sincerity!

That box of food for Xiao Hei is an apology for cheating me!

Suddenly, when Boss Lin thought of this, he instantly straightened his back, covered his mouth and coughed dryly, adjusted his facial expression, raised his head and showed Ji Bonong an awkward but polite smile, and raised his hand generously by the way. The wine glass he used to cover himself just now as a compliment.

Ji Bonong, who was standing in the center of the front, froze for a moment, and then his expression obviously changed for a moment.

This change was extremely complicated, and it lasted less than half a second before being suppressed, so Lin Jie could barely tell that it contained happiness and...?

Lin Jie was a little surprised, the emotion seemed to be a mixture of excitement and excitement, as well as some more incomprehensible emotions, which made Ji Bonong's iron-gray eyes light up.

But what was there to be excited about seeing him?

However, Lin Jie's doubts only lasted for such a moment, because Ji Bonong smiled calmly like a normal banquet host, and raised his wine glass to signal to Lin Jie.

It was as if that strange look was just a hallucination.

Lin Jie maintained his smile, put down his wine glass, and shook his head, thinking that it might indeed be his illusion... The dignified chairman of Luoer Resources, he wouldn't show such a groggy expression.

"However, this can be regarded as 'meeting each other with a smile and obliterating grievances'. I think we can cooperate more smoothly with Luoer Resources in the future..."

Lin Jie thought this way, saw that Ji Bonong had left, and turned around to continue chatting with the two potential customers he just met.

But just when he turned his head, he saw these two people staying in place with different expressions.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jie walked over, and waved his hand in front of the sight of the two: "It's so cool to see Chairman Ji's appearance, are you shocked?"

Fitch was the first to come back to his senses, quickly shook his head, and asked directly how could you know that the experts would use lightning to prevaricate this kind of thing before the experts announced it? Since it's Miss Ji's birthday party, she must be the first dance at the opening party, I don't know if she will bring her own dance partner or choose one of the guests..."

emmmmm... Lin Jie touched his chin, this is indeed a problem.

For some reason, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. What happened?

Yeda next to him looked hesitant, hesitating to speak.

Seeing the way she kept glancing at him, Lin Jie couldn't help but ask first: "Miss Yeda, is there anything you want to tell me? It's okay, if you have anything you want to ask, just tell me."

Yeda looked around, then moved closer, and whispered, "Do you know Mr. Ji? I mean, it's not a general acquaintance like the rest of us, or a business partnership. You seem to be with Mr. Ji." The chairman of Rolle Resources has some personal relationship?"

She lowered her voice: "Just now... I saw that you seem to be toasting Mr. Jibonong, and from the name, you are also from the Northland?"

Yeda originally thought that "Reverse Lightning" was shocking enough, but she didn't expect that just a minute later, she saw Lin Jie raising his glass in a certain direction.

Looking in the direction, he saw the picture of Ji Bonong smiling back, and his unsteady mind was shaken again.

That was definitely not a polite return, because as Ji Bonong's identity, not just anyone who offered a toast to him, he would return the salute.

Whether it is arrogance or arrogance, Ji Bonong is absolutely qualified to do this, and he has indeed done so.

Unless he took the initiative to talk to someone, even the personnel sent by the Central District might be put down by him.

There are probably only a few people who are qualified enough for him to retaliate...and Lin Jie in front of him actually did it.

The speculation in Yeda's mind went a step further. This Mr. Lin must have some extraordinary identity, and if he is familiar with Ji Bonong, it can explain to a certain extent why he knew what the expert said before Ji Bonong opened his mouth. What I said...

Lin Jie was dumbfounded, not knowing how to explain the automatic translation of the languages ​​on both sides: "Although the names are the same in format, I am not from the Northland, and I have nothing to do with Mr. Ji..."

"If you have to say it, I actually know Miss Ji."

Yeda and Fei Qi were taken aback: "Miss Ji?"

Lin Jie nodded: "Miss Ji is a customer of my bookstore, well, the relationship is actually quite ordinary, I have sold her a few books, and helped her solve some things, she is just an ordinary customer, at most... A friend you can trust, she is also the one who gave me my invitation."

Yeda's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he said, "Ordinary friends?"

Lin Jie nodded: "Yes..."

"Mr. Lin, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time just now."

A female voice came from behind, Lin Jie turned his head, and saw a glamorous woman in a black evening dress with a red rose pinned to her chest, walking slowly, iron gray eyes full of brilliance, and slender white thighs under the hem Looming, the slender hand brushed aside the short hair on the ear, revealing the red prismatic earring.

The surrounding crowd had parted at some point, looking at the real protagonist of this banquet.

With an expression of anxiety and anticipation on her face, she took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to Lin Jie: "Mr. Lin, may I invite you to this first dance?"

"..."

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, looked at the extraordinarily slender palm wrapped in the long black glove in front of him, and felt the various gazes of the guests around him.

Although the location and atmosphere are completely different, unexpectedly, I have the same feeling as when we met for the first time.

At that time, Ji Zhixu, who walked into the bookstore like a drowned chicken, seemed to be wearing such a similar black evening dress... I don't know, what is it like in her heart that is dazzling now?

Lin Jie held that hand and smiled helplessly: "Of course."
