Chapter 100: Deadly Love Potion!

Lin Yuan was totally dazed??

What's going on, ah??

He just casually made up an excuse that day, that's all.

"No, Miss Zhao, I was just making up an excuse to fool my boss that day." Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I know, but I took it seriously."

Lin Yuan: "......"

"Miss Zhao, stop joking... I'm a poor loser, I'm just a toad, how could I deserve a swan like you?" Lin Yuan hastily shook his head.

"Joking aside, Zhao Yuyan is an ultra-rich young lady; he can't afford to provoke her."

Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I'm not joking; I think we're quite compatible. You can fight, you're righteous, your values are upright, you won't betray the Goddess Bar. Someone like you is very suitable to be the group's heir. My father's Nine Honors International just lacks an heir; as long as you and I make it work, later my father's conglomerate will be entrusted to you to manage."

Lin Yuan hearing this was completely dazed.

This joke is taken too far, right??

Even the Nine Honors International wants to give him the inheritance??

Lin Yuan never even thought of such a thing.

Although Lin Yuan wanted to make some money, he never imagined becoming a pretty boy for an ultra-rich young lady.

This... the risk is too great.

"No, Miss Zhao, can I refuse?" Lin Yuan said embarrassedly.

"No." Zhao Yuyan said bluntly, "If you dare to refuse, I'll have my father chop you up; I mean what I say."

Lin Yuan was speechless……

This woman is too overbearing, right?

It doesn't give him any chance to choose at all.

"Have you thought it over? Tonight, let's just treat it as our formal blind date. I think you're not bad; how about being my boyfriend?" Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes.

"No, Miss Zhao, even if you want to win me over, I understand, but why must you use this method?? I mean, can't we just not be lovers?? Just be ordinary friends would be fine." Lin Yuan said embarrassedly.

"No, because you belong to the Goddess, and the Goddess is petty. If I poach you to Nine Honors International, the Goddess will definitely hold a grudge. Morally it also doesn't work. But... if we freely fall in love, in the name of love, you defecting over would be justifiable; even if the Goddess gets angry, she can't retaliate. She can't possibly break up this mandarin duck couple, right?" Zhao Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yuan: ……

This woman's scheming is really deep.

But Lin Yuan really doesn't want to get emotionally entangled with her.

Lin Yuan has already joined the Goddess Bar; he's a principled person, he couldn't betray Sister An, nor could he betray the Goddess Boss.

That mysterious Goddess Boss has been good to him, saving him multiple times; Lin Yuan cannot betray the Goddess Bar.

"Sorry, Miss Zhao, I still can't agree to you. If you really come to chop me, then... I accept it. But I won't just sit and wait for death." Lin Yuan took a sip of beer and said seriously.

He got serious.

"Oh? Refusing to yield even unto death?" Zhao Yuyan tilted her head, looking at him meaningfully.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, which counted as acquiescence.

"How could I be so lacking? So many people in Hangcheng chase after me, yet you reject me??" Zhao Yuyan said somewhat angrily.

"No, Miss Zhao, it's not that you're not good; you're excellent, you're so beautiful, your demeanor is outstanding, your figure is also great. And your conditions are also excellent... but I have principles; since I joined the Goddess Bar, I will absolutely not betray the organization. I've offered incense before the statue of Guan Yu." Lin Yuan said solemnly.

This is his principle in life.

Zhao Yuyan lightly pursed her red lips, her pupils gazing at Lin Yuan, her eyes full of spirited vigor.

"I just like your principled, simple-minded earnestness."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan: "......"

This woman, no matter what you say, it's useless.

"Miss Zhao, actually... another reason for my refusal is that I already have someone I like in my heart. Although you're great, but... my heart only has her, there's no room for anyone else." Lin Yuan helplessly could only speak his heart.

"Ah?? You have someone you like?? Who is she? Can you tell me?" Zhao Yuyan asked in surprise with her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yuan shook his head, "Forget it, no need to say. Miss Zhao, you probably don't know her either."

"Then how far have you and she progressed?" Zhao Yuyan continued to ask.

Lin Yuan was taken aback?

How far has it progressed?

Between him and Qin Bore, let alone progress, they haven't even started.

Lin Yuan didn't even dare to confess.

Because he knows Qin Bore's conditions are too good.

Lin Yuan deeply knows he's not worthy.

"Um, I... we haven't made any progress yet." Lin Yuan said.

Zhao Yuyan let out a breath, "Then I still have a chance, right? Lin Yuan, you don't need to rush to answer. Although the blind date thing, I've taken it seriously. If you don't agree, that's fine; we can slowly get along, and maybe one day you'll agree. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Lin Yuan helplessly could only nod, "Alright."

Since Zhao Yuyan said all that, he could only nod as well. This request must be satisfied.

After all, he owes her father and daughter such a huge favor.

Zhao Yuyan continued, "Lin Yuan, from now on whenever I ask you out for a date, unless it's important work, you must come out and not refuse. Just consider it repaying the favor to her father and daughter."

Lin Yuan was taken aback? This...

But thinking of the debt to her father and daughter, he could only nod, "Okay."

Lin Yuan added, "But Miss Zhao, this should have a limit, right? I can't keep accompanying you on dates indefinitely."

Zhao Yuyan thought and said, "Let's make it a one-year limit. If within a year we still haven't become a couple, then forget it."

Lin Yuan nodded, "Okay."

This lobster meal, the two ate for several hours.

Until ten o'clock at night, both were drunk, and Lin Yuan then paid the bill.

Zhao Yuyan called a bodyguard to come drive, she insisted on sending Lin Yuan home.

Lin Yuan refused to back down, so he could only agree.

He got into Zhao Yuyan's expensive BMW M8 sports car.

The bodyguard drove in front, Zhao Yuyan and Lin Yuan sat in the back seat of the sports car, both drunk and leaning on the chairs.

But gradually, Zhao Yuyan seemed to have drunk herself into a stupor, her head tilted and directly rested on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Lin Yuan was startled, he smelled a pleasant feminine fragrance coming from Zhao Yuyan.

This fragrance was very pleasant, like early summer orchids blooming, refreshing the heart and spleen.

Lin Yuan felt a bit nervous, he softly called Zhao Yuyan a few times.

But she seemed dead drunk, she didn't hear at all.

Lin Yuan felt helpless, he could only let her continue resting on his shoulder.

Lin Yuan dared not move at all, for fear of waking Zhao Yuyan.

After a while, the BMW sedan stopped below the Shidai Gongyu Lou.

"Miss Zhao, I've arrived, I'll get out of the car first. You should also go home and rest early." Lin Yuan then opened the door and got out.

Zhao Yuyan blearily opened her eyes, "Oh, you're home? Lin Yuan, then bye-bye, thanks tonight for the lobster. Next time we'll meet again, next time I want to eat barbecue~"

Zhao Yuyan's pretty face was all flushed, she drunkenly waved goodbye to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan walked into the Shidai Gongyu.

After Lin Yuan walked away, Zhao Yuyan in the car… her drunken pretty face finally returned to normal.

Although Zhao Yuyan had drunk, she actually wasn't drunk; her consciousness was very clear.

Just now in the car, she was also pretending to be asleep, deliberately resting her head on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

"Shidai Gongyu, he actually lives here?" Zhao Yuyan looked at the high-end office building before her, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

"Looks like digging his corner will be quite difficult." Zhao Yuyan muttered, "Heh… but I like doing challenging things…"

Zhao Yuyan gazed at this Shidai Gongyu office building, murmuring, "Goddess, this subordinate of yours… I've decided on him."

…

Over the next few days, in the company, Risk Control Director Lu Chengyu suddenly began to target Lin Yuan.

Lu Chengyu repeatedly made things difficult for Lin Yuan at work, even having people come to investigate Lin Yuan's office.

However, Sun Weiwei suddenly stepped forward, blocking Lu Chengyu's investigation.

Sun Weiwei with a single sentence directly rebuked Lu Chengyu.

Lu Chengyu's face was full of anger, he couldn't understand how these days Sun Weiwei had gotten so close to Lin Yuan, that dog secretary.

This made Lu Chengyu very unhappy.

But Sun Weiwei had already given the order, so Lu Chengyu could only leave.

"Sorry, Lu Chengyu still doesn't know that you've defected to our faction. Your acting as my spy, even my father doesn't know; right now, only you and I know." Sun Weiwei, seeing no one else in the office, then spoke softly.

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised, "They still don't know?"

Sun Weiwei nodded, "This way, it won't be easily noticed by Su Monong Fa. It lets the acting be more genuine."

Lin Yuan thought… Sun Weiwei's scheming is really deep.

"By the way, after work tonight, take some time out, let's have a meal. By the way, let's discuss the upcoming work deployment." Sun Weiwei said.

Now, Lin Yuan has secretly defected to her, he is her man.

So she also needs to assign work to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded and agreed, "Okay."

After Sun Weiwei left, Lin Yuan hurriedly called Su Monong.

He told Su Monong about Sun Weiwei's invitation for tonight.

On the phone, Su Monong lightly said, "Since she invited you to eat, then go; I want to see what tricks she has in mind. But you'd better be careful, Sun Weiwei is like her father, very scheming."

Lin Yuan nodded.

…

At 6 p. m. in the evening, Lin Yuan arrived as promised at the pre-booked Longjing Building private club.

This Longjing Building is a famous high-end private dining club in Hangcheng.

It only accepts reservations, and consumption is high, with per capita spending starting at ten thousand yuan. It is a high-end dining club.

The privacy of the entire club is very good.

Sun Weiwei specially chose this place to discuss matters, privacy is guaranteed.

When Lin Yuan entered the private room, Sun Weiwei was already seated inside, wearing a sexy OL black suit uniform, long hair draped over her shoulders, absolutely beautiful and sexy.

Seeing Lin Yuan come in, Sun Weiwei greeted him to sit down.

Then the waitstaff began to serve dishes.

One precious dish after another was brought out.

Braised crocodile paw, garlic emperor crab, Australian lobster sashimi… all are top-notch ingredients.

Sun Weiwei even had the waitstaff help open a bottle of expensive red wine.

"Cheers, to our pleasant cooperation." Sun Weiwei raised her wine glass and clinked it with Lin Yuan's as a gesture.

The two took a light sip.

Sun Weiwei lightly asked, "Lin Yuan, why did you choose to defect to me? Is it just for that one million in debt?"

Lin Yuan was taken aback, he replied, "To repay debts. My family owes… a lot, not just one million. That one million court summons is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Oh? How much money does your family owe in total?" Sun Weiwei asked curiously.

Lin Yuan dipped his finger in some red wine, then wrote a string of numbers on the table.

"That much??" Sun Weiwei saw the numbers on the table, her beautiful eyes widening. "Lin Yuan, as far as I know, your family is just an ordinary household, right? Even if your Chinese medicine shop lost money, it wouldn't be this much, would it??"

Lin Yuan sighed, "My family ran into some trouble earlier, got into a big lawsuit, so we owe a lot of money."

Sun Weiwei's eyes deepened, she slowly said, "Lin Yuan, as long as you help me get Su Monong out of office, I can help your family pay off all its debts."

Swish! Upon hearing that, it was Lin Yuan's turn to be shocked.

This? That much debt, and she's willing to help pay it back?

This Sun Weiwei, she's really generous with her money.

No wonder they can win over so many people's hearts in the company; her father and daughter are too willing to throw money around, too willing to bribe.

As for Su Monong's way of doing things, she is methodical and very principled.

So Su Monong is constantly at a disadvantage in the company. Over the years, she has been continually suppressed by Sun Licheng, the minority shareholder.

However, Su Monong's work style is actually quite similar to Lin Yuan's.

That's why Lin Yuan is willing to help her with work.

Because Lin Yuan, deep down, really dislikes people like Sun Weiwei who scheme behind the scenes.

Lin Yuan and Su Monong are the same type of person, so he chooses to help Su Monong. Like her, he conducts himself with principle.

"Well, thank you, Miss Sun." Lin Yuan feigned a nod and agreed.

Although he dislikes people with Sun Weiwei's personality, he still has to pretend to agree on the surface.

Sun Weiwei was very pleased; she then began to devise a series of espionage plans.

Including how Lin Yuan should surveil Su Monong and how to steal her confidential information.

And other specific details.

Lin Yuan nodded seriously in agreement.

The two discussed work while eating; after over an hour, they finally finished discussing the work details.

Sun Weiwei had the waiter pour red wine.

A beautiful female waiter nearby picked up the decanter and began pouring wine for Lin Yuan and Sun Weiwei.

However, when the female waiter poured wine for Lin Yuan again… a tiny amount of powder slowly drifted from her right sleeve into his wine cup.

And Sun Weiwei witnessed the whole scene.

At that moment, Sun Weiwei was pulling Lin Yuan into a chat.

She deliberately kept Lin Yuan engaged in conversation to divert his attention.

Until the waiter had poured all the white powder into Lin Yuan's wine cup…

Sun Weiwei narrowed her beautiful eyes, finally feeling at ease.

Heh.

Although Lin Yuan verbally expressed loyalty, Sun Weiwei still didn't trust him enough.

Sun Weiwei is very suspicious in her dealings; therefore, to completely control a person, one must… grasp their fatal secret.

Only by holding Lin Yuan's fatal secret could Sun Weiwei then completely control him and make him work for her.

But Lin Yuan is currently clean, with no fatal leverage to be used against him.

So, this leverage, Sun Weiwei intends to create herself!

Tonight is the perfect opportunity to create that leverage over Lin Yuan.

"Come, let's toast again—may our cooperation be pleasant and may we soon take down Su Monong!" Sun Weiwei raised her glass once more.

Lin Yuan also raised his glass, and the two clinked.

Then they drank it all in one go.

But as soon as Lin Yuan drank that glass of red wine, he felt the taste was off? Strange?

However, Lin Yuan didn't think much of it.

He and Sun Weiwei continued drinking and eating.

But as they ate, Lin Yuan eventually felt that something was wrong with his body.

He felt his body growing hotter and hotter, as if his blood vessels were about to ignite.

Lin Yuan felt awful, as if his whole body were engulfed in flames.

His breathing also became ragged and hurried.

"Miss Sun… what… what did you put in my red wine?!" Lin Yuan asked, his voice trembling.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's gaze toward Sun Weiwei was filled with endless lust…

This was a fire he could not control.

Sun Weiwei curled the corner of her red lips, "I added a little nerve modulator—Alocamine. It is also called an Aphrodisiac Drug in Western medicine."
