“What are you in a hurry for? Jiang Nan is too good for you, she’d be much better off working for me, the benefits are much better. Just let her help me.” Lin Fan still wasn’t giving up.
Lin Shaotao stared with wide, incredulous eyes: “Get out, get out! Jiang Nan is a good girl, I can’t just watch her get taken advantage of by you.”
“Work is work, why are you being so dirty-minded?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Then I’ll take advantage of Jian Ai, don’t mind it.”
“Do whatever you want, she’s my ex-wife anyway.”
Lin Fan chuckled mischievously, turning to Jia Kuan and Zhou Yiming: “Did you guys hear that? That’s what Tao Ge said, I’ll make sure to take advantage of Jian Ai as soon as possible.”
Jia Kuan was in a panic!
If such a perfect woman like Jian Ai were to be taken advantage of by Lin Fan, he’d be the one wanting to take advantage of Jian Ai.
“Lin Shaotao… you’ve gone crazy, an ex-wife is still a wife, quickly warn Lin Fan, absolutely not!”
Lin Shaotao immediately saw through Jia Kuan’s little scheme: “Why are you in such a rush? Don’t tell me you still have feelings for Jian Ai?”
“Me?” Jia Kuan pointed at himself and adamantly denied it: “Don’t talk nonsense, am I the kind of person who would go after a friend’s wife?”
Lin Fan, Zhou Yiming, and Lin Shaotao all affirmed him.
Men, they have strange and wonderful quirks.
It’s because they all want to go after a friend’s wife that the moral constraint of “a friend’s wife is off-limits” was created.
Jia Kuan, feeling guilty, raised his glass and shouted to drink, not to talk about women.
The four of them left the bar at one in the morning.
Lin Fan returned home, Jian Ai was still awake.
Still up for it?
He has a Golden Waist and can be called Zhao Ri Fan, but Jian Ai is just an ordinary person, if he doesn’t control himself, her body will suffer.
“Back already?”
“Mhm…”
“Did you have drinks?”
“A little.”
“Oh!”
Oh what? What does that even mean?
Lin Fan looked at Jian Ai, confused: “It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping? Continue?”
“No, it’s swollen, I need to rest.”
Lin Fan chuckled, finally understanding his own strength.
“Then why aren’t you sleeping?”
Jian Ai glanced at him, with a hint of resentment: “I’m the only one at home, I’m a bit scared, so I can’t sleep, and also there’s something I need to talk to you about.”
Lin Fan boldly sat down, staring at that face that could launch a thousand ships: “What is it?”
“About me and Lin Shaotao getting divorced, now Liu Ying Xia, Jia Kuan, they all know, so it will soon reach my mother and Lin Shao Jing’s ears. As both sets of parents, they wouldn’t want us to divorce, so they will definitely try to sway you, please be prepared.”
That’s it?
Lin Fan didn’t see it as a problem at all.
It was only a matter of time before they tried to sway him, but as a man, this wasn’t enough to scare him.
“I know, you should get some sleep. Staying up late is bad for your skin.”
“But men are the best beauty products.”
Jian Ai smiled playfully, getting up and heading to bed.
Lin Fan was used to her serious nonsense.
Without giving it much thought, he got up and went to sleep.
The next day, before he even woke up, he was woken up by Jian Ai to eat the loving breakfast she made.
Lin Fan wasn’t planning on going to the company today, he wanted to sleep in, but Jian Ai forced him to get up and go out.
He felt he needed to make it clear to Jian Ai: “Don’t wake me up for breakfast in the future, I wake up at random times in the morning, never this consistently.”
Jian Ai refused: “No, as long as I’m here, whether you’re going to the company or not, you have to eat breakfast on time.”
“Why?”
“Because not eating breakfast will make you have kidney deficiency.”
Damn, where did that idiot health guru say that.
Who the hell said not eating breakfast causes kidney deficiency?
He, the Golden Waist, is no joke, alright?
Lin Fan twitched his lips, picked up a fried egg and took a bite: “Don’t listen to those health gurus, they die early, what they say can’t be trusted.”
Jian Ai shook her head: “It wasn’t a health guru who said that, it’s scientifically proven.”
“But I’m not deficient! I just want to sleep in.”
“It’ll be too late when you are deficient, I don’t want you to become useless like Lin Shaotao.”
Damn…
Lin Fan grasped the key point.
Jian Ai clearly meant something with that.
So that means Lin Shaotao really isn’t performing?
As brothers, Lin Fan was curious about Lin Shaotao’s gossip.
He knew firsthand how hungry Jian Ai must have been.
“That… I have a question for you… please answer truthfully.”
Jian Ai’s lips curled up slightly, her eyes sparkling: “Say it, what’s there to be embarrassed about between us?”
“Is Lin Shaotao really that useless?”
“Mhm… compared to you, he’s utterly crushed in every aspect.”
“So I’m pretty badass.”
“Not just badass, you’re a donkey.”
Lin Fan felt a bit smug, men like being called a donkey.
But Lin Shaotao’s physical condition was a bit worrying.
He’s already starting to decline in his 30s?
Didn’t they say men are in their prime at 41?
It seems like his divine medical skills could be tested on Lin Shaotao, let him regain his confidence as a man.
“Thanks for the compliment, I understand.”
“Is there anything else you want to ask? I’ll tell you everything without holding back, like what kind of situation… what kind of appearance…”
“No need.” Lin Fan stretched out his hand with a southern accent, signaling her to stop, he was afraid she’d get into the swing of things and do some morning exercises before leaving.
They quickly finished breakfast, Lin Fan wiped his hands, Jian Ai hadn’t finished yet, so Lin Fan seized the opportunity to steer the conversation to work.
If Jian Ai could join Dadi Investment and help him, she would be more capable than Su Mi.
“How’s it going at VG’s Administrative Department Director?”
“It’s pretty good, why?”
“Nothing, it’s just that my company is lacking talents like you, so I’d like to invite you to work at my company, how about it? Department Manager, Vice President, your choice.”
Jian Ai wasn’t very interested: “Forget it, I’m not really interested in investment companies, I’m quite happy working at VG, I won’t join your company just for fun.”
“Really not considering it? We’re close, the benefits are negotiable.”
“Not for now.”
Lin Fan sighed inwardly, Jian Ai is a very opinionated woman, if she doesn’t want to join his company, then no matter how much he said, it wouldn’t make a difference.
“Ok, I won’t pester you, but if you find someone suitable, remember to recommend them to me, preferably fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, I’m just that kind of vulgar person.”
Jian Ai thought for a moment, then suddenly said: “You could poach Lin Shaotao’s assistant, Jiang Nan, she’s young, pretty, and capable, she’s too good to be stuck with Lin Shaotao.”
Lin Fan’s jaw almost dropped: “You wouldn’t be trying to get revenge on Lin Shaotao, would you? You still have feelings for him?”
Jian Ai got a little angry: “How is that possible? I’m just being realistic, out of everyone I know, Jiang Nan is definitely the best fit for your requirements.”
Lin Fan chuckled, they were on the same page.
But Lin Shaotao wouldn’t be willing to let go of Jiang Nan, which was a headache.
“Well, you have the chance to help me persuade Jiang Nan to work for me, if she agrees, I’ll give you tea money.”
“Alright! That’s settled then.”
After eating, Jian Ai left for work.
Lin Fan went back to sleep, he lay down and woke up at ten in the morning, until the noise from next door woke him up.
