Super Tycoon: I Beg You, Stop Pulling Stunts

Chapter 423: Chapter 268: ”Long Aotian

”Why isn’t this one as good as your earlier songs?”

”Never mind. It’s fine. Go on.”

Lin Chu said with a smile, offering a couple of perfunctory claps before getting up and heading for the door.

Bai Weiwei: ...!

’He’s not even human!’

His behavior was like forcing himself on someone, then demanding they enjoy it.

For a moment, she wondered if Lin Chu had come just to cause trouble.

’But no, that probably wasn’t it.’

’Just a very flashy, very flippant customer!’

’Hmph!’

Watching Lin Chu’s retreating back, she fought the urge to smash her guitar over his head and clenched her jaw.

Lin Chu walked out of the little bar and paid the bill at the front desk. It wasn’t much, just under three thousand yuan. Since he had offered to cover the tab, the front desk would naturally refund the other guests’ prepaid fees.

”What was that all about?”

The receptionist, who had seen what just happened, asked with a hint of exasperation.

’Was it fun, putting on an act like that?’

’How childish.’

”Oh, nothing... Just got a bit of a temper.”

Lin Chu said with a smile, waving to her as he walked out with the dog in his arms.

She: ...

After stepping outside, Lin Chu strolled along, admiring the romantic boundlessness of the nightscape. He couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated with himself.

’Well, I’ve definitely made an impression on her this time. A very, very deep one, guaranteed.’

’But why did I have to act so cringey?’

’Like some brat in middle school who bullies a girl just to get her to notice him.’

’Heh, I’ve really regressed, haven’t I.’

’Sigh...’

’I want to be a gentle, refined man, too.’

’I guess I’m just not mature enough yet.’

After a few more steps, Lin Chu mulled it over and suddenly felt that his antics tonight hadn’t been impactful enough. He still wasn’t satisfied.

So, after a moment’s thought, he casually posted a video on Douyin.

”To all my friends in Dali: I’m at the little bar on the first floor of the Suxin Inn by Erhai tonight. All drinks are on me. Just tell them you’re with me.”

’There!’

’Let’s see them pack her inn to the bursting point!’

After posting the video, Lin Chu paid for a hundred thousand yuan worth of promotion, targeting the local area.

Then, he continued his stroll, patiently waiting for the show to begin.

’Let the bullets fly for a little while.’

...

「At that moment.」

In a nearby house, Bai Jingrui was sprawled on the sofa, scrolling through Douyin out of sheer boredom. Suddenly, he came across a video from an account he followed.

His eyes shot wide open, and he bolted upright.

’Holy shit!’

’This big shot is in Dali?’

’And he’s staying at my second sister’s inn?’

He had started watching Lin Chu’s livestreams back when Zhang Songwen was a guest and had been hooked ever since. He tuned in every night Lin Chu went live, though he’d unfortunately never won anything from the giveaways.

But that only fueled his gambler’s mentality, making him green with envy every time one of those lucky bastards won a car or a phone.

Not to mention, in the stream a few days ago, the first guest to arrive on scene was directly awarded one million yuan!

One million yuan!

One million!

Taking a deep breath, his eyes turning red with excitement, Bai Jingrui quickly whipped out his phone and dialed the Suxin Inn’s front desk.

”Hello, who’s on duty? Oh, Xiaofeng, it’s you? Hey, listen, let me ask you something. Among the guests who checked in today, was there one named Lin Chu?”

Suxin Inn was a high-end establishment with only seven rooms, so it was a simple matter for the receptionist handling check-ins to remember a guest’s name.

In terms of generation, he was supposed to call Bai Xiaofeng ”aunt,” but he never did unless the family elders were present. After all, she was a full zodiac cycle younger than him.

”Yes, he just left. What is it? Did Weiwei complain to you? Are you supposed to come beat him up?”

Bai Xiaofeng had no patience for Bai Jingrui, the family’s resident loafer.

He was incredibly annoying.

The man was over thirty, had never worked a single day in his life, and was a master of wining, dining, and lazing about. He was like the foolish son of a landlord, spending all day dreaming of getting rich.

He did have one good quality, though: he didn’t smoke, drink, or gamble. He was just lazy. So, while he was an idle good-for-nothing, he was at least tolerable.

”Beat him up? What are you talking about!”

”Are you people crazy?!”

”That’s a huge patron!”

”Wait for me! I’m heading out now, I’ll be there in a flash! From this moment on, if anyone comes looking for him, you stop them at the door! Just hold them off! Wait until I get there!”

”Be a dear and listen to me. If you handle this for me, I’ll buy you an iPhone tomorrow!”

Bai Jingrui said, so excited he nearly bit his tongue.

’The throne changes hands, and this year, it’s my turn to be emperor!’

’This incredible, heaven-sent fortune is finally mine!’

Bai Xiaofeng: ?

’Is he being for real?’

’Unbelievable.’

She was about to retort with a snarky comment, but Bai Jingrui had already hung up.

「Just then.」

Two pretty young women appeared outside the glass doors. They had arrived on an electric scooter, which they parked by the entrance before pushing their way in.

”Hi, we’re here for the bar. We’re looking for a friend.”

The woman on the left, who had long, wavy hair, said with a bright smile.

Bai Xiaofeng glanced at her and replied with a professional smile, ”Of course. Hello, ladies. Our bar is a self-service establishment. It’s 199 per person for unlimited drinks.”

”Uh...” ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Hearing this, the woman on the right pulled out her phone and showed her the video Lin Chu had just posted. ”This streamer... he’s a guest here, right? He said he’s covering the tab. Why don’t you confirm with him?”

Seeing the video...

Bai Xiaofeng froze for a moment.

Recalling the phone call from just now, she was in a bind.

’Bai Jingrui had asked her to keep people out for now.’

’But now that customers had arrived, she couldn’t just kick them out, could she?’

’And besides...’

’Lin Chu just left and wasn’t back yet. She had no idea where he went.’

”If you’ll just wait a moment, I’ll give our guest a call. Please, have a seat first, alright?”
