Chapter Thirty-Three The Country People

  At this moment, Tong Feifei suddenly grabbed Liu Yanzhi's thigh and said: "Auntie Yanzi, don't bully Uncle, okay? This is the doll that Uncle bought for me." She shook the rabbit doll in her hand, it was clear that she had already been won over by Lin Zixian, a small crack had appeared within the Sakura Snow apartment.

  "Alright! Auntie will give Xiao Fei some face and not cheat him." She pinched Xiao Fei's nose, then beckoned to the several women and shouted: "We won't eat his food for nothing either, help him carry the things upstairs."

  Several women came over, each reported their names, and then snatched the big bags and small packages hanging on the dragon head of Lin Zixian's carriage clean. Each one was carrying them upstairs with a thousand charms and hundreds of coquetries.

  Lin Zi idly watched the charming backs of several women, chuckled to himself, and thought he had found a great place, without any awareness of being cheated. He lifted his bicycle onto the steps, pushed it into the corner of the courtyard, and stopped.

  Several women didn't seem to be freeloaders either. After Lin Zi went upstairs to his room, he found that the room had been cleaned by Zhang Beibei until it was spotless and smelled fresh, as if air freshener had been sprayed to remove the musty smell. At this time, several women were helping him make his bed and tidy up his things with quick hands and feet.

  Women seem to have an innate advantage when it comes to this kind of work, and with a few quick movements, they help him tidy up the room in no time.

  This is much better than living in a hotel, falling into the beauty's nest, beautiful women everywhere! Lin Zile was on the side, excitedly rubbing his hands, nodding and bowing to thank this one and that one, just short of going over to help them massage their backs and waists. Of course, as long as the beauties were willing, Lin Zile would definitely be happy to serve.

  After finishing the cleaning, Liu Yanzi walked over with a flirtatious gaze, stretched out her fingers stained with crimson nail polish and poked his chest, saying slowly: "Little Lin, we have so many beauties helping you clean your room, tonight let's go to Ivory Coast to unwind, don't you agree?"

  She was just trying to scare Lin Zile into knowing that these women's benefits were not easy to take advantage of, and she wouldn't really let him go bankrupt on the Ivory Coast. If he had money, he wouldn't be renting a house in this remote corner. As long as he surrendered, they could just change to a small restaurant and make it lively, and everyone would officially know each other. In the future, if things went well, they would get along well; if not, they would pull him down.

  Lin Zilei shook his head and smiled: "No comment, no comment, I guarantee everyone will eat well and drink well."

  Liu Yanzhi immediately rolled her eyes, feeling that this guy was a dead man who wanted to save face and suffer, so she simply didn't say anything.

  Not to mention Tong Yunan, even Zhang Beibei looked a bit anxious, Qin Yue walked over with good intentions and asked: "Lin Zixian, do you know what the Ivory Coast is?"

  "Hmm..." Lin Zixian was stunned for a moment, and no matter how she looked at their expressions, they all seemed a bit strange. After thinking about it, she didn't think there was anything scary about the Ivory Coast either. She scratched her head and said: "I've been to the Ivory Coast once, it's just a hotel for eating and resting! Is there another Ivory Coast in Donghai?"

  Several women were stunned at the same time, has he been to C?te d'Ivoire? Really or fake?

  "Cut!" Liu Yanzi snorted, somewhat disdainfully sizing up Lin Zixian from head to toe, and didn't notice that his outfit was particularly high-end. She immediately lost interest in this guy who was so eager to show off, letting him go find his own way, and on the spot dragged out one by one the beauties in the room.

  Lin Zi stood alone in the room, his head still spinning, hadn't he said something wrong to offend them?

  Downstairs in the living room, several women sat on the sofa whispering and discussing Lin Zi Xian. They didn't know where this idiot came from, riding a bicycle to rent a house, and even dared to show off in front of everyone.

  "Everyone, a hypocrite has arrived. This kind of man is not to be trusted, no one is allowed to be soft-hearted. Yun Na sister, don't speak up, otherwise we'll misunderstand the relationship between you two."

  One sentence shut Tong Yunan's words back in her mouth, leaving her sitting there at a loss.

  Liu Yanzi then took out her phone and dialed a number, saying directly: "Li Mingcheng, where are you? Come back quickly, I'll treat you to a big meal."

  "Alright! Wait for me, I'll be right there."

  Liu Yanzi hung up the phone and nudged Qin Yue with her elbow, saying: "Yueyue, call your husband and tell him to come back for a big meal. Today we're going to beat up the local tyrant together."

  Qin Yue was forced to make a phone call, and after hesitating for a while, she said apologetically to Liu Yanzhi: "Xia Qiu might not be able to come back tonight either."

  Liu Yanzi was taken aback and suddenly sighed, "Ah! This guy is really desperate to make money." Qin Yue smiled slightly, not taking it seriously.

  Before long, Lin Zi, who had been bored and lonely, put on a smile again and came down from upstairs. He smiled at everyone and said, "Ladies, it's almost dark, when are we leaving?"

  Everyone looked at him silently, as if they were looking at a monster. Finally, Liu Yanzi spoke in a sarcastic tone: "We're not as rich as you are, we have to wait for a ride."

  Lin Zi was taken aback, wondering how she had figured out that he was wealthy. He never flaunted his wealth and didn't think he gave off the stench of copper.

  He himself is also unclear about how much money he has in banks all over the world and hasn't paid attention to this issue for many years.

  For someone who has reached this point, money is no longer a concern in his life. He lives with an attitude that doesn't require him to be extremely wealthy, but he has enough to spend for several lifetimes. The key is that he has already transcended the category of having to rely on money to get by. He usually doesn't have the habit of extravagance and waste, often eating at street stalls to fill his stomach. Whatever day it is, he lives accordingly, and simplicity and luxury make no difference to him.

  "What's this about a free ride? Where did you get that from?" Lin Zixian asked in confusion.

  Just as he was speaking, the sound of a car driving up came from outside the courtyard. Liu Yanzi stood up with a charming smile and said: "The windfall has arrived, our Sakura Snow Apartment's only car-owning family, Li Mingcheng, Boss Li, is here."

  Lin Zi suddenly realized that when he first came, Zhang BeiBei had mentioned that there were two male roommates here, and it seemed that this was one of them. Footsteps sounded, and turning back to look, a man with a ponytail ran in spiritedly, with an air of being a successful person.

  The man with the greasy hair walked into the hall, bringing with him a whiff of pomade scent. He scanned the crowd with his eyes and said with a smile: "Everyone's here!" He nodded at everyone, then noticed Lin Zixin looking stunned and asked in confusion: "Who is this?"

  Liu Yanzhi twisted her waist and swayed to Lin Zixian's side, introducing: "Lin Zixian, our new roommate who just moved in." Turning around again, she introduced the man with his back turned: "Li Mingcheng, the boss of 'Dafah Supermarket' at the old street intersection, also the only car owner in our Xueyue Apartment."

  Lin Zilei thought for a moment and vaguely remembered that there was a supermarket at the entrance of the old street, which didn't seem to be very big. He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, saying "Hello!"

  Li Mingcheng's attitude was somewhat arrogant, and he didn't even extend his hand. Instead, he glanced at a few beauties and thought that another man had appeared in the beauty's nest, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes. He said indifferently: "Mr. Lin, right? I have something to say first, the women in our Sakura Snow apartment are relatively simple, as a man, I have a responsibility to protect everyone's safety, can you show me your ID?"

  Lin Zi was speechless, but thinking about it, if a messy person were to sneak into a beautiful woman's home, it wouldn't be good. The other party wasn't just shooting randomly, and they really took out their ID card for him.

  Li Mingcheng took the ID card and scanned it, discovering that Lin Zixian's hometown was in a remote province's rural village, a place he had never even heard of. He smiled slightly, saying: "So you're a country bumpkin!"

  Lin Zi's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he sized up the other person, but couldn't tell that they were particularly high-class. The way they spoke had a somewhat condescending tone, making his fists itch.

  Liu Yanzi suddenly snatched the ID card from Li Mingcheng's hand and handed it back to Lin Zixian, saying: "He's not a bad person, he's just a bit of a big mouth. In fact, there are many people here who have that kind of character, but truly local people with money are not many, most of them are working for others, and the prosperity of this city is also created by political and business elites from all over the country. Some people appear to be glamorous on the surface, but in reality, they are empty inside, living a tight life, yet still shouting at others as "country bumpkins", and scolding their bosses behind their backs is a common occurrence, it's just a habit, don't take it to heart, he also called us country bumpkins at first.

  Lin Zi suddenly found that this woman was not so harsh after all, with a cold face and a warm heart.

  "Yanzi, I'm not working for others, I have my own business." Li Mingcheng said with a bitter smile, seemingly unaffected by Liu Yanzi's cold ridicule.

  "Alright! Stop showing off your business, you really think you're something just because you're the boss? It's just a small supermarket, isn't it? If you're so capable, why don't you buy a house and move in instead of squeezing together with us to rent a place?" Liu Yanzi shot back bluntly.

  Li Mingcheng's face suddenly turned awkward, he glanced at everyone and explained: "Actually, I have already saved enough money for a house, just missing a mistress. If you are willing to marry me, Yanzhi, I will immediately let you move into the new house."

  Liu Yanzi rolled her eyes and sneered, "You also know my motto, I won't marry anyone who isn't rich. However, considering our old friendship, I'll make an exception for you. I don't require you to have a lot of money or a luxurious mansion, as long as you can buy a 200-square-meter house, I'll immediately marry you. Don't think my words are harsh, we country folks also learn from you city people."

  Such blatant haggling left Lin Zilei speechless, this pair of men and women were really practical enough, handling the big deal of marriage like a business transaction, seemingly having nothing to do with emotions. Meanwhile, Qin Yue and others on the side couldn't help but stifle a smile.
