A Valiant Life Chapter 955 - Don't think absurdly

Although they were treating him to a meal, the final decision on where to have the meal was given to Lin Fan.

In the end, he had no choice. He chose Liu Xu’s restaurant.

Li Meng Hua and Zheng Long were both public figures. Hence, they covered themselves up so that no one would recognize them. Although w.a.n.g Ke Hao was a public figure too, he was a behind-the-scenes figure. Especially since his appearance wasn’t outstanding, he naturally wouldn’t draw attention from fans.

Lin Fan swaggered as he followed behind.

Donyue Entertainment Hotel.

It was actually pretty awesome for Liu Xu to set up her business here. Although she had stolen a bit of light from Lin Fan by making his friends think that she was his lady, for her to be able to handle herself in Shanghai and develop to this stage was rather respectable.

“Ah, what kind of wind blew our Master Lin all the way over to our humble place today?” From afar, Liu Xu saw Lin Fan and came over with a smile. She spoke with a mocking tone and there was a hidden intention behind her words. It made people feel uncomfortable.

“Hehe, it must be the Northwest wind*. What else could it be?” said Lin Fan.

This Liu Xu wasn’t very respectful towards him. If he didn’t have a good temper, he would have struck her with a Dragon Claw Strike and burst open her chest.

w.a.n.g Ke Hao, as a great director, had seen all kinds of beautiful ladies. But when he saw Liu Xu, his eyes really lit up.

A unique temperament. A stunning appearance. And every move and action from her exuded an aura that made people gasp in awe.

He even started to think, if this beautiful lady were to act in his film, she would definitely be suitable for the role of a seductive female big shot.

Li Meng Hua and Zheng Long had acted in countless films and they had naturally seen countless beautiful ladies as well but there weren’t many that could really make them feel stunned. But this lady in front of them had really stunned them.

Liu Xu smiled. “Master Lin, what do you have planned for today? Don’t think of leeching off me. I don’t give anything for free.”

Lin Fan glanced at Liu Xu. “Lady, can’t you talk nicely? What do you mean ‘leeching’? And what do you mean you don’t give anything for free? Am I that sort of person? I’ve had some small conflicts with you in the past but why are you so narrow-minded? With you, things that should be big aren’t big but things that should be small are big instead.”

“You…” When Liu Xu heard that, she was so angry that her face turned red. Then, she stopped quarreling with Lin Fan. “Are you eating or singing?”

“Of course we’re eating. Who sings when they’re hungry?” Lin Fan’s att.i.tude was rather nasty too.

Liu Xu had a ‘You win this time’ look on her face. “Follow me. I’ll bring you to a private room.”

w.a.n.g Ke Hao and the rest laughed in their hearts. To them, this beautiful lady seemed to have a kind of indescribable relations.h.i.+p with Master Lin. The way she talked, it seemed like she was his mistress.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Master Lin was such a powerful man, it was only natural. Moreover, he wasn’t bad-looking either. He would definitely be well-liked by the ladies.

In the best private room.

“Boss, please enter,” said Liu Xu as she stood at the door.

Lin Fan nodded. “Mmm, that att.i.tude is about right. If you are like this all the way, I can guarantee that your business would do better.”

Liu Xu chuckled, then looked at the people at the side. I have no idea who you are. It’s not even cold, why are you wrapped up like a mummy? Could it be that you can’t let people see who you are?

But then, she had a rough idea of what was going on. This Master Lin was not an average person. The friends he had were not simple either.

“This restaurant’s environment is very good.” Li Meng Hua took off his mask and cap.

When Liu Xu heard this, she realized that he wasn’t from around here. But when she saw him, she was startled. She hadn’t expected it to be a superstar.

She muttered in her heart. This guy has quite a broad network of friends. He even knows celebrities from outside.

Then, she didn’t bother about it anymore. She wasn’t someone who pursued celebrities. They were all human and there was nothing different about them.

“Everyone, please take your time and chat.” Liu Xu didn’t say much to Lin Fan before leaving. But she knew that she couldn’t let just any waiter serve this room. She had to personally appoint some people.

After all, not every waiter would be able to maintain their cool when they saw celebrities. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to be careful.

After Liu Xu left, w.a.n.g Ke Hao said with a smile, “Master Lin, you really are lucky.”

Lin Fan was taken aback and couldn’t quite understand it. Then, he realized what he was talking about. “Director w.a.n.g, it’s not what you think.”

“I understand, I understand.” w.a.n.g Ke Hao chuckled. I know, don’t worry. We aren’t having any absurd thoughts.

Lin Fan really didn’t want to say more about that. What else could he say? If it couldn’t be clarified, it was better not to speak at all.

During the meal, everyone chatted cheerily despite it being their first time meeting.

Haojiang!

Wynn Casino.

A young man sat at the gambling table. His eyes were all red. His fingers were a little stiff as he stared unblinkingly at the cards in his hands. His expression was one of pure excitement.

“Three edges, three edges…”

“Motherf*cker…”

The spectators sighed. There were four edges.

The young man shouted at the moneylender at the side. “Give me 5 million more.”

The moneylender laughed. “Brother, you can’t keep playing like this. Don’t play until you have no more money to repay me. That will make it very difficult for us.”

“What? You don’t even have money to lend in this casino? My father is the famous director w.a.n.g Ke Hao. His movies make billions each. Do you think I would be short of money?” w.a.n.g Wen growled aggressively. It seemed that he wouldn’t rest until he broke even.

“Alright, son of the great director, that’s fine. We’ll verify that, okay?” said the moneylender.

“Okay. Check all you want. My phone is filled with contacts of celebrities. You can see all you want,” said w.a.n.g Wen.

The moneylender told someone to check it and it was indeed true. Then, he could lend money without any worries. His tone also became a little friendlier.

“Young Master w.a.n.g, I hate to tell you this but since you’re borrowing so much, the interest is charged hourly. If you accept, please sign here so we can lend you money without any worries. You can take as much as you want,” said the moneylender.

w.a.n.g Wen didn’t mind it at all. He immediately nodded. “Alright, alright. Enough rubbish. Give me 5 million first.”

Right now, he was already unable to think rationally. The moneylender sent someone to get it done. At the same time, he prepared the contract and took w.a.n.g Wen’s ID and other doc.u.ments.

After receiving the contract, w.a.n.g Wen didn’t even look before signing it.

The chips came and he immediately started gambling.

A subordinate said, “Big Bro, will this kid have sufficient money to repay us?”

The moneylender said, “Don’t worry. He’s not a cheat. His ident.i.ty is real. Important people don’t like to appear in the news for bad reasons, so we can lend him money without any worries. But we have to have a limit. You guys can start calculating the interest first.”

“Understood.”

One hour later.

w.a.n.g Wen said, “Give me another 10 million.”

Within this period, w.a.n.g Wen had asked for money a few more times.

Playing blindly. Borrowing blindly. He wasn’t thinking at all. He was just so infuriated by the opposition’s cards.

Also, because of his ident.i.ty, he didn’t care about everything else.
