Chapter 206: Chapter 226: Heroic Figure _1You guessed it right! Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Don’t overthink." Gu Yuexi nodded, "I’m just thinking too much." Soon, the two arrived at the hotel entrance. Lin Chen stopped and said, "Alright, you go up." Gu Yuexi blinked, "Aren’t you going to send me to my room?" Lin Chen laughed, "I’m weak against beautiful women, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist the seduction. So, it’s best not to put myself in a dangerous situation." Gu Yuexi slapped Lin Chen’s arm and pouted, "Kiss me then!" Lin Chen gladly kissed Gu Yuexi on the cheek. Gu Yuexi hugged Lin Chen happily and went into the hotel. Looking at Gu Yuexi’s light-hearted figure, Lin Chen was a little lost in thought. He had never imagined that there would be a woman who would love him so intensely, like a moth flying towards flames. How could he bear to hurt such a woman? ... The next day at noon, Li Linyuan called Lin Chen into his office and slapped a stack of cash in front of him. "Ten thousand in bonus!" Since it had been mentioned before, Lin Chen didn’t waste words, picked it up, and laughed, "I’ll take it, no need to be courteous." Li Linyuan laughed, "It’s rightfully yours." Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Then tonight, I’ll treat all the off-duty colleagues to dinner and drinks. As for those who are on duty and can’t join, I’ll give them each a cigarette as compensation." Li Linyuan reminded him, "Just buy cigarettes that cost around ten or so yuan per pack." "Deal!" After Li Linyuan announced the news, everyone cheered. No one objected to Lin Chen getting the bonus alone since he earned it through his abilities. They hadn’t helped at all, so even if the bonus was offered to them, they wouldn’t have the nerve to take it. For dinner, they didn’t go to Sanwa Street Food Stall but to a seafood stall not far from the pharmaceutical factory. Since he was treating, he would be generous. Excluding the security guards on duty, the rest just filled a large round table. Lin Chen ordered a table full of fish, shrimp, and crab, along with several boxes of beer, and everyone started enjoying themselves. Just as he took a bite, Lin Chen’s phone rang. It was Liu Zhen Hao. "Mr. Lin, you’re in Linhai now?" Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, I’m here for work, staying around for a while." Liu Zhen Hao complained, "Mr. Lin, you’re too distant. You came to Linhai and didn’t even let me know. If I hadn’t chatted with old Gu, I wouldn’t have known." Lin Chen chuckled, "I didn’t have anything important, and you’re busy, so I didn’t want to bother you." Liu Zhen Hao spoke with a straightforward tone, "Being busy doesn’t mean I can’t make time for dinner and drinks. Where are you now? I’ll join you for a drink." Lin Chen replied, "I’m at Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6, having drinks with my colleagues. I’m treating everyone tonight, so I can’t leave." Liu Zhen Hao laughed heartily, "Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6? That’s not far. Twenty minutes and I’ll be there. Since you’re treating, you don’t mind me joining in, right?" Since Liu Zhen Hao had already said that, Lin Chen couldn’t refuse, "It’s just us factory security guards at a street food stall. If you don’t mind, I’ll send you the location. We just started." Liu Zhen Hao laughed, "What’s there to mind? Drinking draft beer at a street food stall in summer is the best. I, as a crude man, enjoy this the most."

I’m working as a security guard in the factory now, so just call me by my name, don’t call me Mr. Lin." "Working as a security guard?" Liu Zhen Hao hesitated but didn’t ask further. He agreed easily, "Alright, I’ll call you by your name. But don’t call me President Liu either, just call me Old Liu." "Okay!" Half an hour later, Liu Zhen Hao’s car stopped fifty meters away from the street food stall. He got out of the car and walked over from the sidewalk. "Lin Chen." Lin Chen looked up and burst into laughter. Liu Zhen Hao dressed casually in a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. He didn’t wear his expensive watch and looked very down-to-earth, without any sense of awkwardness. Liu Zhen Hao sat beside Lin Chen and introduced himself with a smile, "Liu Hao, you all can just call me Old Liu." Someone handed Liu Zhen Hao a beer and laughed, "We’ve already had so much to drink; you’ve got to catch up." Liu Zhen Hao replied energetically, "Of course! I’ll pay a penalty of three cups." With one bottle of draft beer per cup, Liu Zhen Hao downed three in a row and wiped his mouth with satisfaction, "Refreshing!" Everyone applauded, and the atmosphere was lively for a moment. Lin Chen secretly admired Liu Zhen Hao’s ability to adapt. He could dine at a high-end restaurant with big shots, as well as sit beside the street with ordinary workers, drinking cheap beer, bragging, and telling crude and obscene jokes. Such a person would be a real hero in chaotic times. They continued drinking until ten o’clock. At Li Linyuan’s signal, he led the satiated security guards away. When he said goodbye to Lin Chen, Li Linyuan’s eyes held a hint of strangeness. When Liu Zhen Hao arrived, Li Linyuan was smoking and saw the luxury Mercedes-Benz under the distant streetlight and the string of sixes on its license plate...
