Chapter 1283: Chapter 1282 Silly Girl Qiyun died, killed by his own father, Qi Lianshan. This scene, he never saw coming even till his death. After killing the unfilial son Qiyun, Qi Lianshan said, "Master Lin, I have executed this unfilial son." Lin Dong nodded, "Ninety percent of the assets, donate them to the impoverished children in the villages. If you dare not do it, I will flatten your Qi family!" "Yes, yes, yes... I would never dare to defy Master Lin’s wishes." His back was drenched with cold sweat. When he returned, he would definitely donate all those assets to the impoverished children in the villages. Moreover, he would personally handle this task. He would not go through any foundations; he would make sure the money went directly to the impoverished children who needed it. That money might help them pay their tuition fees, might serve as their living expenses while they attended school, or might help them purchase some school supplies... Though these funds might not be much when distributed to each individual, they might also change someone’s fate. The others present were quietly watching this scene unfold. Ling Feng from the War Department, looking at his cousin Qiyun’s corpse, secretly said, "Ah, Qiyun, you brought this upon yourself! I have told you numerous times to keep a low profile and not to be too arrogant. Relying on having some money to act wickedly—sooner or later, you would face the consequences. Now, the consequences have arrived." Others, such as those few CEOs, and those who came with Qiyun like the Pharmaceutical Supervisor, Vice Presidents of the Medical Association and the Commercial Alliance, were also feeling the lingering fear at this moment. They had long heard of Master Lin’s ruthlessness. This was the first time they witnessed it firsthand! They also had some younger relatives. After returning, they swore to properly discipline them and ensure they did not turn out like Qiyun. Otherwise, if this continued, their clans would not end up any better than the Qi family. After handling this matter, Lin Dong gestured, "Clean up the floor and then leave. Don’t disturb us while we’re eating and discussing matters." "Yes, yes, yes!" Everyone nodded and hurried to clean up properly. The restaurant’s owner and manager originally wanted to step forward to clean, but Qi Lianshan and others wouldn’t allow it at any cost. They insisted on cleaning themselves! Therefore, the restaurant’s owner and managers saw those big shots, whom they usually couldn’t even approach, now half-kneeling on the ground, meticulously cleaning. "My goodness, my restaurant’s value is going to skyrocket. This is a restaurant where many big shots have cleaned the floor!" the owner secretly said. The manager was also extremely shocked, secretly saying, "If others saw this scene, how shocking it would be! So many big shots, like janitors, obediently cleaning the floor." "That Mr. Lin is really incredible!" They cleaned the floor until it was sparkling before respectfully excusing themselves. After they left, Su Mei, stars in her eyes, said, "These wealthy people usually don’t even consider us stars, always expecting us to toast them at banquets, acting all high and mighty!" "I never expected that today, they would actually clean the floor for me. I’ve really vindicated our circle of stars." Lin Dong spoke indifferently, "From now on, if you don’t want to and someone dares to forcefully make you and Tang Mu offer a toast, tell me. I’ll make them lick the floors clean!" Su Mei’s eyes brightened, "Previously, Tang Mu didn’t need to offer a toast because of her high status, but I’m different; I’m often forced to offer toasts." "With your words, immortal, I’ll see who dares to make me offer a toast. I’ll splash their face!" Lin Dong nodded. He and Su Mei were friends now. Helping a friend with such a small favor was nothing big. "The food’s all cold, should we get a new batch?" Li Qingcheng said at the moment. Everyone nodded. Actually, they didn’t even need to say it, the owner of the Demon City Jiang people’s home was already doing so. Today, he must treat Lin Dong and his company well. Having such people dining at their place really glorified their restaurant and its name. Even if it spread within the top circles, the restaurant’s fame would undoubtedly climb another step within the elite circles. In the future, perhaps more big shots might come to dine here. The boss was already grinning from ear to ear at that moment. He instructed all the chefs to bring out their A-game, aiming to perfect every dish served at Lin Dong’s table. Quickly, the dishes were replaced with new ones. There were dozens of dishes! Each one was a specialty crafted by five-star chefs! But why were there so many fish dishes? Lin Dong was now getting a headache from seeing fish. Fortunately, neither Li Qingcheng nor Tang Mu served him fish after that. The subtle fight between the two had just ended. Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief as well. At that moment, Tang Mu and Li Qingcheng began talking business directly. "Tang Mu, we at Qingcheng International want you to endorse our new product, ’Eternal Youth Cream.’ Do you agree?" Li Qingcheng cut straight to the chase. Tang Mu looked towards Lin Dong, "Of course I agree. I know ’Eternal Youth Cream’ was developed by Lin Dong, right?" "Yes. So, can you endorse it for free?" Li Qingcheng asked nonchalantly. Hearing this, Su Mei’s heart trembled. Free endorsement for a rival? This President Liu is too much. Tang Mu smiled slightly and said, "If Lin Dong is asking, I naturally don’t mind endorsing it for free. After all, Lin Dong and I are inseparable now. But if you are asking..." "Hehe, it’s actually Lin Dong who is asking you," Li Qingcheng mischievously said. "Qingcheng International is actually backed by Lin Dong as the major boss. I’m just working for him, and for free at that." "I don’t even get a salary, sigh..." Hearing this, Tang Mu asked, "You’re working for Lin Dong for free?" "Yes, for free. But I’m willing, I’d do anything for Lin Dong..." Li Qingcheng continued nonchalantly. Lin Dong: "..." Isn’t this too much of a stretch? Since when have you been working for me for free? We do have a fifty-fifty share in Qingcheng International indeed, but I’ve been hands-off, all right? And as for your salary, you as the CEO are the one who sets it, aren’t you? However, Tang Mu was still too naive and fell for Li Qingcheng’s trick immediately. "I also want to work for Lin Dong for free, willing to do anything for him. I agree to be the spokesperson, a lifetime endorsement, for free, not taking a dime. I can even cover the shooting and other costs," Tang Mu quickly said. Li Qingcheng was secretly thrilled, having secured such a high-profile endorsement for free, feeling absolutely delighted. Yet, she maintained her composure and said, "Well, it seems you love Lin Dong just as much as I do." "For love, let’s toast. From now on, you are my sister," Li Qingcheng raised her glass to Tang Mu. Tang Mu nodded, feeling a sense of kinship with her. She thought Li Qingcheng was rather decent. Not at all like she seemed on the outside. "Cheers, President Liu." "Hm? You’re still calling me President Liu? You don’t think of me as a sister then," Li Qingcheng pretended to be upset, "It seems I was wrong to trust you." Tang Mu quickly corrected herself, "I was wrong, Sister Qincheng, let’s drink. I’ll finish mine, and you can do as you like." After saying that, Tang Mu, the naive girl, downed the entire glass of red wine in one go. Even Li Qingcheng felt a bit guilty watching her. "My dear brother, how much good karma did you accumulate in your past life to deserve so many devoted women in this lifetime, all infatuated and intoxicated by you?" she mused internally. Then, she lifted her head and also finished the red wine in her glass. Tang Mu, this glass is for you, for me, and for the one we both love deeply. I have no regrets, no complaints, and I’m sure you feel the same.
