Chapter 711 Pursuit
Chapter 711 Pursuit
After the concert ended, ****** left the venue with his underlings, and he just couldn’t sit still anymore. As soon as he thought of Lin Feng being Huang Shi’s boss, and that Lin Feng was Lin Jie’s brother, his heart was filled with excitement. Right now, what he truly wished for was to become Lin Feng’s brother-in-law. If he could successfully pursue Lin Jie, the glory he would bask in thereafter was exhilarating to even think about. And not to mention, Lin Jie herself was so pure and unworldly, a national beauty that would make any man’s heart flutter.
While walking with his underlings to a flowerbed, ****** couldn’t hold back any longer. Pursuing Lin Jie definitely wouldn’t be like chasing those women in the past, and it was absolutely out of the question to force Lin Jie; not only Lin Feng, but Huang Shi wouldn’t let him off the hook either. But... he had never used normal methods to woo a woman before and didn’t know how to start. He decided to have his underlings help brainstorm and come up with the best strategy.
"Don’t just **** stand there idly; I want to chase Lin Jie, so **** give me some ideas. Remember, they have to be normal, conventional methods, got it!" ****** looked at his lackadaisical underlings and immediately felt infuriated, commanding them to come up with a plan. Although he had been trying to think of something too, gifting was the only approach he could think of.
"Boss, I think for a beauty like Lin Jie, giving gifts will definitely work." One underling spoke up first. In his view, Young Master Yu had so much money, so giving gifts was a trivial matter, and they had all just witnessed how formidable Lin Jie’s brother was, so using force was out of the question.
"Bullshit! Tell me, what kind of gift would catch Lin Jie’s eye?" ****** cursed immediately. He knew about giving gifts, but what truly troubled him was that he couldn’t figure out what to give.
"Boss, for a beautiful girl like Lin Jie, she surely likes flowers. Since that’s the case, let’s send flowers. While others send a few, we’ll send flower baskets, and not just one. That way, we can properly express the boss’s sincerity. What do you think?" Another underling mulled over it. Lin Jie probably didn’t lack anything, so sending clothes or bags definitely wouldn’t do. But as a 20-year-old girl, she would likely love flowers. Thus, sending flowers would be the best approach.
Moreover, he felt that if they were to send flowers, just a few like the ordinary guys wouldn’t suffice. To impress a beauty, one definitely needed sincerity and means. So they might as well go big and send several flower baskets for a better effect.
"Hm, you actually made a sensible comment, sending several flower baskets, hm, that’s a good idea. I’ll give you a task, find out what flowers Lin Jie likes immediately, and we’ll send flower baskets!" ******, upon hearing his underling’s suggestion, brightened up immediately, thinking the idea was indeed good. He had seen other guys giving flowers to their girlfriends before — a bouquet at most. If he sent flower baskets instead, wouldn’t that convey his earnestness even more!
With that thought, ****** instantly ordered the underling to investigate what flowers Lin Jie liked. To send flowers with sincerity, the best way was to know what kind to send. Otherwise, if Lin Jie didn’t like the flowers, it would backfire, which was the last thing Yu Dahai wanted to see.
"Easy, I’ll make a call right away. Rest assured, boss, my girlfriend lives in the same building as Lin Jie, so finding out should be a breeze." Upon hearing Young Master Yu’s words, the underling immediately agreed and stepped aside to call his girlfriend to inquire about Lin Jie’s flower preferences.
"Boss, I think that to touch the heart of a beauty like Lin Jie, flowers alone might not be enough. I’ve seen on TV where people use fireworks to create heart shapes and the like; girls seem to love that sort of thing." Another underling, seeing the situation, quickly offered another idea. Those working under ****** knew that if he was pleased, their good days weren’t far away, which is why he wracked his brain for such a suggestion.
"Hm, that’s a good idea too, let’s go with that. I assign this task to you, go find fireworks for me immediately. Remember, get them now, I’ll reimburse you later." ****** felt that the underling’s idea was good upon hearing it. Playing with fireworks seemed fun, and girls liked beautiful things, so they might as well do it. He immediately instructed the underling to go purchase the fireworks. Where to buy them wasn’t his concern; he just needed the results.
"Don’t worry, boss, I’ll handle it. Give me half an hour." After speaking, the underling dashed out and started arranging to buy the fireworks. In his view, as long as he carried out the task smoothly, the boss definitely wouldn’t let them go unrewarded. So all they had to do was to fulfill the boss’s orders well.
The remaining underlings, seeing that two of them had already successfully offered ideas to ******, naturally didn’t want to fall behind and began to rapidly ’circulate’ ideas, trying to come up with more strategies.
"Boss, I think we need to bring out something novel and unique. For example, when you give Lin Jie flowers or watch fireworks with her, it would be great to have someone play accompaniment. Wouldn’t that make the atmosphere even better?"
"Not bad, really good, it’s settled then. You find the accompanist, a violinist, yes, get a violinist. Money is no issue, hurry!"
"Boss, I have an idea, do we need a dedicated audience to set the mood? If it’s just a few of us, doesn’t that seem rather sparse? The atmosphere might lack luster. And if Lin Jie were unhappy and wanted to leave, we couldn’t really stop her, but with people surrounding her, she couldn’t walk away either, right?"
"Hm, that’s a great idea. Go find people for me immediately. Can you manage it in half an hour?"
"Rest assured, Boss, I’ll definitely round up a hundred people for you."
"Boss, how do we get Lin Jie to come out? This issue is key."
...
Several subordinates racked their brains and came up with some good ideas, all of which were approved by Yu Dahai, who also thought that they were indeed good ideas. Strength lies in numbers; within a short time, they had thought of so many good methods. If all these things were executed, they might really be able to move Lin Jie tonight.
After arranging everything, he instructed the underlings to get busy with their respective tasks. Yu Dahai didn’t stick around any longer and immediately ran back to his luxurious apartment at the school. He never really lived in this apartment and basically used it as a changing room. Upon returning, Yu Dahai began to sift through his clothes tirelessly, wanting to look even more handsome to deal with the upcoming events...
......
When Yu Dahai finally picked out what he thought was the handsomest outfit and had just changed into it, his subordinates started calling one after another to report that everything they had arranged was ready. Hearing this, Yu Dahai was overjoyed and hurried out, heading toward the previously agreed upon location.
Soon, Yu Dahai arrived at the designated place, and his subordinates had also prepared all sorts of things, just waiting for Yu Dahai to spring into action.
"Follow the plan. Xiao Hou, call your girlfriend and have her bring Lin Jie out," Yu Dahai ordered the subordinate named Xiao Hou as soon as he saw everything was ready. Xiao Hou’s girlfriend was Lin Jie’s classmate and dormmate, which was the only way to coax Lin Jie to come out.
"Alright, Boss, I’ll call her now," Xiao Hou replied upon hearing Yu Dahai’s command, and immediately called his girlfriend, planning to have her bring Lin Jie out as previously discussed.
However, after dialing the phone, what happened next left Xiao Hou dumbfounded. His girlfriend said Lin Jie had received a phone call and immediately left the room, seemingly about to go out—just stepping downstairs, claiming she was going to look for her brother, Lin Feng.
"Boss, look, Lin Jie is coming out!" At that moment, another subordinate suddenly saw Lin Jie coming out of the dormitory building and shouted.
"Let’s go!" As soon as Yu Dahai heard his subordinate say this and looked in the direction of the dormitory building, he saw Lin Jie and immediately yelled out, signaling everyone to act. At once, his subordinates became a flurry of activity, bustling about.
Seeing his subordinates starting to get busy, Yu Dahai ran to Lin Jie’s side according to the previously set script.
"Lin Jie, I’m sorry about the past," Yu Dahai stopped, blocking Lin Jie’s way, apologizing with a smile on his face, but inside he was already very excited. Just thinking of all the preparations he had made, he was thrilled at the thought that all this might indeed touch Lin Jie’s heart.
"It’s nothing, as long as you don’t bother me anymore, that’s all," Lin Jie, surprised by Yu Dahai’s sudden appearance, wondered what he was doing there. When she heard that he was apologizing, she breathed a sigh of relief and replied indifferently. She didn’t really care about the past events with Yu Dahai, but what truly mattered to her was that she hoped he would stop pestering her.
"Lin Jie, to make up for my previous mistake, please come over there with me. I want you to accept my most sincere apology. Otherwise, I’ll really mind this matter. Just go over there, and I’ll believe that you’ve truly forgiven me. Don’t worry, I won’t be like before, I won’t do anything to you," Yu Dahai immediately continued as per the script, thinking that everything was ready and now all that was left was for Lin Jie to go over. Even if Lin Jie didn’t agree to be his girlfriend, she would certainly be moved. In that case, things would naturally take their course in the future. Thinking this, the smile on Yu Dahai’s face widened, and he began to dream involuntarily of Lin Jie agreeing to be his girlfriend...
