The Invincible Son-in-law

Chapter 697 697: Bottom Line

Kang Shuran walked over slowly and sat opposite Lin Hao. She leaned forward slightly, revealing the snow-white expanse of her chest and those two soft, heavy mounds.

Lin Hao dared not look at the beautiful scenery before him. Instead, he picked up his teacup and took a sip to disguise his embarrassment.

"County Magistrate Lin, do you think my dress looks nice?" Kang Shuran asked deliberately.

Lin Hao feigned a relaxed demeanor, smiling as he replied, "It's nice! Just a bit too short."

"Don't men like them a bit short?"

Kang Shuran deliberately lifted her skirt, revealing two long, snow-white legs that could make anyone's head dizzy.

"President Kang, if you have anything to discuss, please say it clearly." Lin Hao didn't want to get entangled with her.

"County Magistrate Lin, is there really nothing else we can talk about besides business? How dull!"

Kang Shuran's eyes flirted provocatively, half-acting irritated and shy, like a seductress.

Lin Hao's heart itched from this beautiful woman, but fortunately, his self-control was quite good, and he didn't indulge in her charms.

"President Kang, do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

"I don't have a boyfriend. If County Magistrate Lin is willing to be mine, I might consider it."

Kang Shuran squinted at Lin Hao, her eyes seemingly sparkling with electricity.

Lin Hao smiled faintly and said indifferently, "President Kang holding me in such regard is my honor! But I'm just a rough man, unworthy of such a beauty."

"County Magistrate Lin, so you do think I'm beautiful?" Kang Shuran's eyes lit up instantly.

"President Kang is a celestial beauty, as beautiful as a fairy!" Lin Hao complimented with a smile.

"County Magistrate Lin, no need to call me President Kang, just call me Shuran." Kang Shuran was indeed a captivating enchantress.

"Shuran?" Lin Hao was slightly startled, staring into her eyes, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Isn't that a bit too intimate?"

"Lin, I think our relationship could be a bit more intimate, don't you think?" Kang Shuran said coyly, acting like a bashful young girl, which made her even more charming.

"Shuran, just tell me, what do you want Lin to help you with?" Lin Hao was almost at his wits' end with this girl.

"Lin, look at you, I just want to get closer to you, how can you keep me at such a distance?" Kang Shuran said, crossing her legs.

Her already very short miniskirt revealed a glimpse of spring scenery underneath, making Lin Hao feel a surge of heat rise.

Lin Hao felt the alcohol kicking in as well, taking a deep breath to forcibly suppress the heat.

"Shuran, your legs are very white! But I wonder what they feel like to touch?" Lin Hao was ready to fight back.

What? What do they feel like to touch?

The beauty teasing Lin Hao froze slightly upon hearing this, subconsciously looking down, blushing instantly.

"Lin, you're so bad! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Kang Shuran said coyly.

"Hahahaha…" Lin Hao laughed heartily.

"Lin, you saw tonight, Vice President Gao from Lifeng International Investment is ready to collaborate with us on real estate development, now we have ample funding, could you…"

"No!" Lin Hao cut her off decisively before she finished.

Kang Shuran's smile stiffened slightly, awkwardly saying, "Lin, don't rush to reject me, you haven't even heard me out."

"The new district construction project cannot be given to any one company, forming a monopoly. At that point, the workers will suffer, and I will never allow this to happen," Lin Hao said sternly.

"Those factory workers or farmers, they don't seem to be much of your concern, do they?" Kang Shuran's face looked a bit unnatural.

"If I, as an official, don't serve the people, am I not failing the over fifty thousand people of Wucheng County?" Lin Hao said calmly.

"Lin, I can give you five percent, do you know how much profit that is?" Kang Shuran pulled out her trump card.

"Hehehe... five percent?" Lin Hao sneered repeatedly.

Seeing his attitude, Kang Shuran's expression improved slightly, and she asked with a smile, "Is five percent not enough? Then name your price, I'll definitely find a way to meet your demands."

"Meet me? I don't think you can satisfy me," Lin Hao looked at the beauty's enticing figure, a sly smile playing at his lips.

Kang Shuran thought Lin Hao was captivated by her charm, smiling as she stood up, circled around the table, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Lin, as long as you give all the projects to me, I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied," Kang Shuran whispered sultrily, exhaling warmly at his ear.

Lin Hao only felt his ear itching, his heart itching, and the fire within him reignited.

However, even though he liked beautiful women, he knew some lines shouldn't be crossed.

Take today's matter; if he let a beauty monopolize, they'd have complete control over pricing, and the ordinary people would suffer in the end.

As for five percent or ten percent, Lin Hao felt nothing. After all, he wasn't strapped for cash now.

Relying on overseas companies and anonymous accounts, he already controlled a large amount of capital, speculating in futures and foreign exchange, soon reaching a trillion-level scale.

This small amount was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, even if they offered up a rare beauty like Kang Shuran, he wouldn't abandon his principles.

"President Kang, you've underestimated me!" Lin Hao remained utterly unmoved.

"What? Lin, you don't like me?" Kang Shuran simply sat on Lin Hao's lap, her arms around his neck.

"You're indeed beautiful and alluring, but everyone has their bottom line." Lin Hao frowned slightly, trying his best to suppress his rising anger.

"A bottom line is meant to be broken, don't you think?" Kang Shuran said, intentionally letting her shoulder strap slip, revealing a stretch of lace beneath, especially that deep white cleavage, even more enticing.

Lin Hao glanced at the beautiful view of her chest, took a deep breath, and said, "President Kang, we've had about enough tea, I think our conversation for tonight should end here."

Kang Shuran, seeing her charm had failed to sway Lin Hao, felt a bit of her pride wounded.

"Could it be you don't like women?" the beauty teased him deliberately.

"I do like women, but I don't like them being too forward." Lin Hao slowly stood up, setting her down.

"You…" Kang Shuran was left standing there, feeling greatly frustrated.

With her timeless beauty, proud figure, and layers of escalating amorous ambiance, not securing Lin Hao was a genuine failure.

It's not that Lin Hao didn't appreciate beautiful women or like them, it's just that he knows he cannot break his principles.
