Make it all up.

In truth, Lin Qi did not want to have too much contact with Luo Feifei.

The more often they met, the more guilty he felt toward her.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Qi walked toward an empty table, with Chai Wuyan following behind.

Luo Feifei’s table, however, erupted at once.

“Feifei, you know President Chai and President Lin?” several girls asked in astonishment.

“Yes. We’ve had some business dealings, though naturally, I was the one asking them for favors…” Luo Feifei could only nod.

“That’s still incredible!”

“Exactly! The fact that you know both of them—and that they took the initiative to greet you—already shows your standing in Huai River City’s business circle!”

“You’re absolutely a winner in life!”

“Feifei, once you make it big, don’t forget us!”

The girls chattered excitedly, making Luo Feifei extremely embarrassed. She could only keep saying, “It’s nothing. We just know each other and exchange greetings when we meet. It’s not as impressive as you think!”

Zhang Ya grabbed Luo Feifei’s arm and leaned against her affectionately. “Feifei, stop being so modest. They took the initiative to greet you, which proves you’re someone important! Why don’t you introduce me? I’d like to get acquainted with the two presidents too, so they can help my parents take their business to the next level!”

Luo Feifei immediately shook her head. “Zhang Ya, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I’m really not that close to them—we’ve only met once or twice. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to bring someone along. When I truly make it big someday, I’ll definitely help your family. How about that?”

No matter how much Zhang Ya cajoled her, Luo Feifei continued to decline, insisting that it would be inappropriate and improper.

At last, Zhang Ya lost her temper. “Feifei, what’s wrong with you? I’m only asking you to do me a small favor, and you keep making excuses. Do you even regard me as your roommate?”

Luo Feifei said helplessly, “Zhang Ya, that’s not what I mean…”

“Don’t think becoming a vice president makes you so impressive!” Zhang Ya snapped angrily. “You don’t own a house or a car, and your salary is pitifully low. What kind of vice president are you? I say you’re working for some fly-by-night company!”

Luo Feifei lowered her head and said nothing. The other girls hurriedly tried to placate Zhang Ya, urging her not to stay angry.

The reason everyone indulged Zhang Ya was mainly that they had spent four years together at university and knew her well. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Though her words could be harsh and cutting, whenever anyone ran into trouble, Zhang Ya was always the first to step forward and help. Whether money or effort was needed, she never held back.

Thus, no matter how unreasonable Zhang Ya became, everyone still focused on soothing her, knowing that she was not a bad person at heart.

Lin Qi, however, did not know any of this.

Seated not far away, he heard every word clearly. He was furious, but given his current identity, he could not simply walk over and defend Luo Feifei. Instead, he took out his phone and sent Tang Long a message.

“What are you doing? Luo Feifei is already a vice president, yet she has no house, no car, and a low salary?”

Tang Long had been waiting for Lin Qi to contact him these past few days. When the message finally arrived, it was so alarming that he hurriedly replied, “Young Master, start-ups do tend to offer lower salaries. Things will improve next year. She’ll have a house, a car, and a proper salary—nothing will be lacking.”

Lin Qi replied, “Stop making excuses. Make up everything for Luo Feifei right now!”

Tang Long answered, “Yes, Young Master.”

Lin Qi then sent him the location.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Long rushed over at full speed.

Putting away his phone, Lin Qi looked across at Chai Wuyan.

Chai Wuyan was also looking down, typing a message.

He sent one to Wang Fugui: “Lin Qi and I have already taken our seats. We’ll eat for a while first, then send someone over.”

After sending it, Chai Wuyan raised his head and noticed Lin Qi watching him. He smiled and said, “President Lin, order whatever you like!”

Lin Qi called over a waiter and ordered some skewered meat, grilled kidneys, and beer. Naturally, they could not go without spicy crayfish either.

“President Chai, I’m going to take you for everything you’ve got tonight.”

“Hahaha, don’t hold back!”

The two men drank and chatted, their rapport so easy that they seemed like old friends who had known each other for years.

At the other table, the atmosphere had grown somewhat gloomy after Zhang Ya’s outburst.

Luo Feifei kept her head lowered as tears fell one after another.

The moment Zhang Ya saw this, her heart softened. She took Luo Feifei’s hand and said, “All right, all right, I won’t say anything more. Once you make it big, you mustn’t forget me.”

Luo Feifei wiped away her tears. “Zhang Ya, I won’t forget you. When I lost my tuition money before, you were the one who paid it for me…”

Zhang Ya laughed. “That was ages ago. Why bring it up? I didn’t mean any harm. I just think your company is really unreliable. You’re a vice president, yet you’re still renting a place to live. What kind of nonsense is that? You’d be better off finding another job!”

Luo Feifei shook her head. “President Tang treats me very well. My salary is a little low for now, but he gave me quite a few shares. Once the company becomes profitable, I’ll be entitled to a substantial share of the dividends…”

“He’s just feeding you empty promises. Don’t believe him!”

Still furious, Zhang Ya was about to say more when the deafening roar of an engine suddenly thundered through the street.
