Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1704 - 1701: Manipulation and Revenge

In the restroom, Zhao Weitao, Liu Siyuan, and Wei Feixiang stood in front of the sink, the bright mirror reflecting their expressions, which were fluctuating between different emotions.

"Brother Zhao, what exactly is this Lin Tian’s background?" Wei Feixiang asked in a deep voice.

"I’m not entirely sure. In my impression, he’s just a university student, maybe more capable than the average person, but that’s it." Zhao Weitao said uncertainly, truly unable to see Lin Tian as someone with a significant background.

"Just a university student? Yet in just a few minutes, Bao Jianbai terminated our Wei family’s project and even threatened to have other old friends cancel too. Do you know how much we’re losing? If my father knew I caused this mess, he’d kill me." Wei Feixiang regretted getting involved; he wished he hadn’t meddled in this crap.

But there’s no medicine for regret. He was lured by Zhao Weitao and Liu Yuansi’s words. Plus, He Xiaofei is really good-looking, and he couldn’t resist. Though he preferred Xiao Manxuan, Zhao Weitao had his eyes on her first, so he couldn’t snatch her.

Who knew he’d gain nothing and end up in big trouble, no, suffer heavy losses.

"I didn’t expect this either. The only way to fix it now is to beg Boss Bao..." Zhao Weitao glanced at Wei Feixiang and then continued, "Otherwise, beg Lin Tian?"

"Beg him?" Wei Feixiang glared, scoffing: "I’m a manager, begging a student? Where’s my Wei family’s face in this? As for Bao Jianbai, that’s even more impossible. He’s a person who sticks to his word; getting him to change his mind is almost zero percent likely."

"If begging’s not possible, we could..." Liu Yuansi spoke with a persuasive tone, and he exchanged a mysterious look with Zhao Weitao.

"Could do what? Retaliate? Beat him?" Wei Feixiang narrowed his eyes, a sinister expression appearing on his face: "Brother Liu is right, I’ll beat him until he submits and talks to Bao Jianbai. This must be resolved before my father finds out."

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Zhao Weitao to respond and hurriedly left, leaving behind a sentence: "Before the party ends, I need to find some people..."

Once Wei Feixiang left, Liu Yuansi blinked and said, "Brother Zhao, isn’t it kind of unfair using Brother Wei like this?"

"What is unfair? True loyalty is to friends, like you and me. Wei Feixiang is just a drinking buddy; what do you use drinking buddies for? To be used. Talking about loyalty here is nonsense. If we were in trouble, do you think he’d be loyal to us?" Zhao Weitao sneered, not caring at all.

Liu Yuansi also laughed, clapping his hands, "Brother Zhao is right; I think so too, hehe..."

The two using Wei Feixiang against Lin Tian was completely unknown to Lin Tian, who was currently exchanging pleasantries with Bao Jianbai.

"I heard from Old Yun that Brother Lin is still in school, studying at Jinghua University, which is quite enviable. If my troublesome son were even half, no, one-tenth as excellent as you, I’d be willing to earn half as much in business." Bao Jianbai said sincerely, truly admiring Lin Tian due to his outstanding performance at the Yunhua Chamber of Commerce.

He also heard that after many old friends returned home, they severely reprimanded their young scions, as, compared to Lin Tian, those boys at home were truly not up to scratch.

Lin Tian just chuckled awkwardly, unable to respond appropriately. He couldn’t exactly say, "Yes, I’m excellent, your son isn’t." One can only criticize their own child; if someone else chimes in, people get upset.

Saying too much in a shallow relationship is taboo in human interactions. Lin Tian and Bao Jianbai were not close enough for such candid discussions; they had only met once.

"By the way, did Mr. Yun invite you here, Brother Lin?" Bao Jianbai asked casually.

Lin Tian immediately understood that Bao Jianbai probably wanted to connect to the Yun Family through him. Although Bao Jianbai was also invited, there was no introduction nor opportunity to engage deeply with the Yun Family. At least, he didn’t even have the qualification to go upstairs.

This wasn’t unexpected. Businessmen pursue profits; it’s in their nature and didn’t alter Lin Tian’s perception of him.

However, Lin Tian truly wasn’t here by invitation, so he shook his head and didn’t hide it: "No, I came to seek sponsorship."

"Sponsorship?" Bao Jianbai was taken aback, just as Yun Xiaotian and Wang Wanxi couldn’t understand why Lin Tian needed sponsorship. The esteemed Lin Tian actually sought sponsorship?

But, seeing He Xiaofei and Zhong Ling, he understood a little better, turning to laugh: "I guess Brother Lin joined a club or something. Let’s do this: I’ll sponsor your club’s activities for the year. How’s that?"

He Xiaofei and Zhong Ling were thrilled, looking at Lin Tian. The two women knew it was up to Lin Tian to agree because they weren’t dumb; they could tell Boss Bao was doing this for Lin Tian’s sake.

Lin Tian nodded, not caring too much but still grateful: "I’ll thank Boss Bao in advance."

A year’s activity funds aren’t much to a businessman like Bao Jianbai; it’s just a small amount. In reality, when clubs seek sponsorships, often they only obtain a few hundred yuan, a couple of thousand is considered a lot. However, for a boss as big as Bao Jianbai, offering a couple of thousand would be inadequate; he’d start at ten thousand or more.

All the clubs in the university, those who can procure sponsorships at the ten thousand level are few, even the student union’s external relations group is like this, so He Xiaofei and Zhong Ling were happy and excited.

He Xiaofei knew back when Wu Xiuluo and Gai Huatian secured a million sponsorship for a charity event, creating a campus charity fund, it shocked the entire school, even alerting the principal and leaders. Hence, they became notable figures in the school.

"Brother Lin, who is this?"

After the sponsorship matter was settled, Yun Xiaotian came over and saw a middle-aged man on the sofa, asking in curiosity.

Bao Jianbai immediately recognized Yun Xiaotian, the eldest of the Yun family, and his heart raced with excitement at the opportunity to connect with the Yun family.

"This is Bao Jianbai, a good man and a reliable partner." Lin Tian introduced, praising him.

Getting praised by Lin Tian, Bao Jianbai naturally wore a smile full of gratitude. Yun Xiaotian also said, "I’ve heard of Boss Bao’s great reputation, just haven’t had the chance to work together. I think my father would be interested in collaboration."

Bao Jianbai was overjoyed again, glanced at Yun Xiaotian and Lin Tian, then sensibly said, "Mr. Yun, Brother Lin, chat away, I’ll excuse myself. Maybe we’ll catch up next time."

He was shrewd enough not to overstay and become an eyesore, so he departed appropriately.

"Xiao Tian, you didn’t show up just now when Lin Tian taught that rich kid a lesson. It was very satisfying." Xiao Manxuan said with a relieved laugh.

"Oh? What happened?" Yun Xiaotian asked curiously.

Xiao Manxuan recounted the events; Yun Xiaotian’s expression changed a bit because such an incident occurred at his family’s party, involving Lin Tian and his friends.
