Treasure Identification Hall was spacious, larger than the outside small gathering, but not by much.

Looking up here, one could make out the grand Second Level restaurant, divided into many sections.

Lin Tian glanced around the bustling hall, which consisted of areas like the stone gambling zone, antique zone, tomb treasure area, gathering area, business area, and dance area, among others.

So this was the Treasure Identification Gathering?

Truly high-class indeed!

Gazing at the luxuriously decorated hall, Lin Tian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“Lin Tian, what is going on?”

A visibly embarrassed and furious Cheng Tingting, joined by Guan Caimao, walked up, frowning and interrogating.

Guan Caimao’s face was grim as he stared at Lin Tian, an air of coldness about him.

“What do you mean, what’s going on?”

Lin Tian turned around, somewhat puzzled.

“You previously said you didn’t have an invitation, so how did they let you in directly?

How could you lie to us!”

At the entrance, Cheng Tingting and her companion hadn’t quite caught the conversation between Lin Tian and the person in charge; they had only heard something about an invitation, which implied he must have had one.

Hearing this, Lin Tian’s brows furrowed, a hint of coldness crossing his face.

Cheng Tingting might have wanted to show him off by bringing him along, a certain flaunting element being apparent, but he could also tell she had genuinely wanted to help.

But now, this woman’s thinking clearly did not match her scholarly status.

“I didn’t lie to you.

I really didn’t have an invitation!

It’s just that I was invited by someone, and I mentioned their name, so they let me in!”

Lin Tian spoke calmly, offering no further explanation.

“Whose name did you mention?”

Cheng Tingting and Guan Caimao exchanged glances, pressing him further.

“Dongfang Yu!”

Lin Tian replied with a slight smile.

What!

Cheng Tingting and Guan Caimao’s expressions changed dramatically.

Cheng Tingting was somewhat familiar with Dongfang Yu and had heard quite a bit about him from her boyfriend—a formidable man from Yanjing, a top-tier Young Master.

As for Guan Caimao, he was even more familiar with Dongfang Yu.

Thinking of Lin Tian’s background he heard from Cheng Tingting, he darkened and retorted, “Lin Tian, right?

You’re courting death!

From what Tingting told me, there’s no way you could know Dongfang Yu!

There’s only one possibility, that you’ve falsely used someone else’s name to gain entry!”

“Lin Tian, how could you do this!

If Dongfang Yu finds out, both of us will be dragged into this!”

Cheng Tingting berated Lin Tian furiously.

“Cheng Tingting, can you stop being so presumptuous!

I never asked you to drag me in here; you insisted on helping!”

Lin Tian frowned and shook his head, “My friend had already invited me; I could’ve entered on my own!

It’s just that you insisted so earnestly, I didn’t refuse!”

“You’re still making excuses…”

Cheng Tingting began another tirade but then abruptly shook her head in disappointment, “It’s a good thing I rejected you back then.

Being with someone like you would only bring shame!”

How are there so many smug, foolish women everywhere, impossible to reason with!

Lin Tian, speechless, thought about just turning and leaving.

However, at that moment, a familiar voice rang out, “Lin Tian?

You’re here too?

What’s going on?”

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful woman and a tall girl approached the trio.

“Aunt Liu!”

Upon recognizing the two, Lin Tian had to stop and greet them.

It was indeed Liu Yingying, with the girl next to her naturally being Huo Xiaoyu.

Lin Tian was utterly disappointed with Huo Xiaoyu, but Aunt Liu had helped his family, and as an elder, he still owed her basic respect.

“Lin Tian, didn’t you say you didn’t want to come?

How did you get in?”

Huo Xiaoyu walked up and directly interrogated.

“This lady must be Lin Tian’s elder, and you’re his sister?”

Cheng Tingting intervened at this point, “You’ve come at the right time.

I was trying to kindly bring Lin Tian in, but the person in charge didn’t allow it.

Little did I expect Lin Tian to falsely use Dongfang Yu’s name to sneak in!”

“What!

Lin Tian, you…you’re still being dishonest!”

Huo Xiaoyu glared angrily before turning to Liu Yingying, “Mom, you see?

He’s done this more than once!”

“Alright, enough!

Stop quarreling, do you not mind embarrassing yourselves in public?”

Liu Yingying then turned to Cheng Tingting, “Miss, if Lin Tian did anything wrong, please forgive him; I’ll properly scold him myself!”

“Lin Tian, come with us!”

Liu Yingying, visibly displeased, led the way towards the business area, and Lin Tian, respecting her as an elder, reluctantly followed.

In the business area of the Treasure Identification Hall, which was divided into several open-air sofas and private rooms, numerous businessmen were discussing deals.

“Lin Tian, Aunt Liu is about to go discuss a project.

Once she’s done, we need to have a serious talk, alright?”

Liu Yingying had Lin Tian and Huo Xiaoyu sit on a nearby sofa, then spoke with solemnity.

“Okay!”

Lin Tian nodded, his expression unchanged.

He sighed and Liu Yingying, with a document bag in her hand, headed toward a private room.

“You’d better apologize to my mom later, there’s no need to keep pretending!

You snuck in without an invitation; even if those big shots let it slide this time because of that senior, it might just be this once!

I really don’t understand what you’re thinking…”

Huo Xiaoyu looked coldly at him and kept shaking her head.

“You, truly wouldn’t understand!”

Lin Tian smiled faintly.

Five minutes later.

Liu Yingying came out of the private room, her expression ugly, her brows furrowed tightly.

“Mom, are they unwilling to sign this partnership?”

Watching Liu Yingying’s expression, Huo Xiaoyu stood up and approached her, asking.

“It’s impossible; our Yunda Design Company is decent in Bin City, but compared to the real big companies, we are nothing, no wonder they were unwilling!”

Liu Yingying’s face showed defeat and helplessness.

“Aunt Liu, which company do you want to partner with?

Maybe I can help you!”

At that moment, Lin Tian heard their conversation and couldn’t help but stand up and say.

“Lin Tian, you better mind your own business!

Don’t think that knowing Zhou Li and those people means everyone will give you face!”

Huo Xiaoyu frowned and sneered, “This time my mom is looking for a partnership with Zhang Sihou, he’s one of the top tycoons in both Guangnan and Guangbei.

Even Zhou Li falls short compared to him!”

Zhang Sihou, that old man?

Lin Tian was slightly surprised, then he smiled and said, “Aunt Liu, wait a moment, this is merely a matter of speaking up.

I’ll go and talk for you!”

Saying that, Lin Tian already started walking toward the private room Liu Yingying had entered.

“He’s truly arrogant and ignorant!”

Huo Xiaoyu rubbed her forehead, her face a mix of helplessness and disappointment.

“This…

this child!”

Liu Yingying couldn’t help but laugh bitterly and shook her head.

After knocking several times, the door to the private room opened, revealing a mature woman in an OL suit and wearing black-framed glasses.

“May I ask who you’re looking for?”

The woman showed a charming smile, quite courteously.

Lin Tian, with a stern face, said lightly, “I’m looking for Zhang Sihou, tell him to come and see me!”

“Ah?

Our Mr.

Zhang is in a meeting with important clients and cannot be disturbed!”

The woman with black-framed glasses was slightly shocked, clearly startled by Lin Tian calling out Zhang Sihou’s name directly, and hurriedly replied.

“Tell him to come out, or else you will bear the consequences!”

Lin Tian’s brow furrowed and he spoke in a low voice.

“Ah…

alright!”

Seeing that the visitor was unfriendly, the woman quickly turned around and ran inside.

Before long, footsteps approached, and Zhang Sihou, dressed in a sharp suit, appeared at the doorway, his expression quite displeased.

However, upon seeing Lin Tian clearly, his expression changed drastically, “Lin…

Master Lin, how come you are here!”

“You old man, my Aunt Liu came to discuss a project with you, and you actually refused!”

Lin Tian pursed his lips, glanced in Liu Yingying’s direction, and chided with a smile.

“Ah…

Lin…

Master Lin, I didn’t know!

Please forgive me!”

Zhang Sihou was entirely startled, hurriedly stepping out of the private room, “Master Lin, I’ll go and invite Aunt Liu over right now!”

After speaking, Zhang Sihou hurried to where Liu Yingying was.

The woman with black-framed glasses, looking like a secretary, stood there with her mouth agape in shock.

Lin Tian smiled again, then turned back and walked over to where Liu Yingying was.

“Mr…

Mr.

Zhang, are you saying you’re willing to undertake all projects for our company?”

At this moment, Liu Yingying, having just heard Zhang Sihou’s words, was stunned.

“Of course, you are Master Lin’s…

Mr.

Lin’s Aunt Liu, this is what I should do!”

Zhang Sihou pointed to Lin Tian beside him, speaking respectfully.

Mr.

Lin?

Liu Yingying looked between Lin Tian and Zhang Sihou, completely baffled.

Huo Xiaoyu, too, was confused, but quickly regained her composure, “Mr.

Zhang, are you mistaken?

Lin Tian is just a guy who likes to boast, with those little tricks of his, you should know better!”

“This lady, please watch your words!

Disrespecting Mr.

Lin can lead to either broken limbs or being fed to the fishes in Bin City!

If you continue to talk nonsense, having Zhang throw you out is the least of your worries, the severe consequences are…

hmph!”

Zhang Sihou’s expression suddenly turned stern, and he coldly looked at Huo Xiaoyu, shouting loudly.

Hearing this, Huo Xiaoyu’s face turned pale, and she promptly shut her mouth.
