Chapter 57: Did the flattery work?

On WeChat, Fei Fanjin sent two words: 【What time?】

Hmm??

Seeing these two words, Lin Yuan froze, he hadn't reacted yet, and replied doubtfully: 【What time?】

Fei Fanjin coldly replied: 【Aren't you supposed to invite me to dinner? What time tonight?】

Lin Yuan was then even more stunned?

This??

This works?

Fei Fanjin agreed to have a meal?

As expected, one still needs sincerity to move people.

Lin Yuan felt somewhat excited.

At that moment, Su Monong sat aside, watching Lin Yuan's expression, she felt somewhat doubtful, leaned over and glanced at the chat record.

Su Monong was also stunned?

This works??

Lin Yuan hurriedly sent a WeChat reply to Fei Fanjin: 【6 PM, Lai Fu Si Shang Chang. Should I pick you up?】

Fei Fanjin replied: 【Not needed.】

Lin Yuan hurriedly replied: 【Okay, see you tonight.】

Watching Lin Yuan put down his phone, Su Monong then asked: "Did you set it up?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Director Su, it's set, tonight at six. But tonight, how should I test her?"

Su Monong calmly said: "You don't need to test her; you just need to pursue her, expressing your extreme liking and appreciation. Your identity is special—if she has already defected, she will naturally take the bait. She will use your identity to target me."

Lin Yuan nodded, "I understand."

"Alright, go back to the office first. Afterwards, look through Fei Fanjin's Moments completely to learn more about her, got it? Oh right, also check her Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin accounts." Su Monong reminded.

Lin Yuan froze, "But I don't know those accounts!"

Su Monong gave him a sideways glance, "You don't have her phone number? Save her number, then open Douyin and Xiaohongshu accounts; the system will automatically suggest people you might know, and it will recommend her Douyin account for you to add."

Lin Yuan slapped his forehead, "Got it!"

……

After returning to the secretary's office, Lin Yuan began searching for Fei Fanjin's Douyin and Xiaohongshu accounts.

Director Su was indeed smart; Lin Yuan followed Director Su's method and saved Fei Fanjin's phone number.

Soon, Douyin and Xiaohongshu automatically recommended Fei Fanjin's private accounts to Lin Yuan.

Because Lin Yuan added Fei Fanjin's phone number, the system assumed they were friends, thus recommending her private account for Lin Yuan to add.

Lin Yuan added them all.

Then he began browsing Fei Fanjin's Moments to learn about her life.

However, Fei Fanjin's Moments are only visible for three days, so Lin Yuan couldn't see anything.

Helpless, Lin Yuan could only scroll through Fei Fanjin's Douyin account.

Her Douyin account actually had many things, including her travel videos and her cat-raising videos.

As well as some food photos she posted.

Lin Yuan recorded all her hobbies and habits.

There was no way; this was the Chairman's assignment—ordered to pick up women—he had to take it seriously.

After browsing Fei Fanjin's Douyin account for an entire afternoon in the office, he finally made it to quitting time.

Lin Yuan first sent Director Su home, then changed into casual clothes and hurried to Lai Fu Si Shang Chang.

……

At six in the evening, Lin Yuan waited inside the Starbucks at Lai Fu Si Shang Chang.

He sent his location to Fei Fanjin.

Lin Yuan continued sitting in the chair, seriously browsing Fei Fanjin's Xiaohongshu account.

It contained various updates of her life.

After a dozen minutes, a stunning figure in high heels walked gracefully into the Starbucks.

It was Fei Fanjin.

After work she didn't change clothes, but continued wearing her work gray OL uniform suit, with black long hair draped over her shoulders, stunningly beautiful.

At that moment Lin Yuan was still lowering his head, seriously looking at Xiaohongshu, and hadn't noticed Fei Fanjin had arrived.

Fei Fanjin also didn't disturb him, but gently walked to behind Lin Yuan.

Her steps were so light that even her high heels made no sound.

Fei Fanjin came to behind Lin Yuan, her beautiful eyes faintly fixed on his phone.

Lin Yuan was still fully absorbed in browsing Fei Fanjin's Xiaohongshu account.

But he was sneaking a look—he hadn't followed her account, nor dared to like her posted photos, for fear of being discovered.

"You've been scrolling my Xiaohongshu for so long, yet you didn't even give me a follow?" Fei Fanjin suddenly asked from behind.

Swish! Lin Yuan was startled, hastily closed Xiaohongshu, and turned his head to look.

All he saw was Fei Fanjin standing stunningly behind him.

Damn.

Social death.

My earlier act of browsing Xiaohongshu was all seen by this woman.

"Uh... sorry, I was just casually flipping through." Lin Yuan coughed embarrassedly, explaining.

"Just flipping through? I saw you flip for ten-odd minutes, not casual at all." Fei Fanjin said in an icy voice.

Lin Yuan: "……"

"I just want to understand you better." Lin Yuan explained.

"Since you want to understand, why not just hit follow?" Fei Fanjin asked sarcastically.

"Um, then I'll follow you for a bit." Lin Yuan was taken aback, could only awkwardly open his phone and follow Fei Fanjin's Xiaohongshu account.

"What to eat? I'm hungry." Fei Fanjin said coldly.

Lin Yuan hastily brought Fei Fanjin up to the mall's 5th floor to get a meal.

The fifth floor of Lai Fu Si Shang Chang Mall is all kinds of restaurants.

Lin Yuan brought her to Haidilao to eat hot pot.

He browsed Fei Fanjin's Douyin, knew she loved hot pot, so he specially invited her for hot pot.

Lin Yuan let Fei Fanjin order dishes, but she said it's up to him, letting Lin Yuan order.

Lin Yuan then ordered many dishes that Fei Fanjin loves.

Seeing what Lin Yuan ordered—all dishes she herself loves—Fei Fanjin was somewhat surprised.

This man really has taken the time to understand her preferences.

Soon the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

Lin Yuan also thoughtfully helped Fei Fanjin blanch the vegetables.

Facing his initiative, Fei Fanjin's pretty face remained icy cold.

But she didn't refuse the vegetables Lin Yuan blanched.

Fei Fanjin took a bite of beef and said lightly, "Lin Yuan, you're very honest, but you don't meet my standards for a partner, I have no fondness for you, so there's no chance between us—I advise you to give up early, stop pestering me."

Lin Yuan felt somewhat helpless hearing that.

As expected, still failed?

His own conditions really aren't good enough—Fei Fanjin simply doesn't look up to him.

Director Su assigned his task, and it seems it's going to fail.

"Director Fei, you not liking me is your business, but my pursuing you is also my business. You may not like me, but you can't stop me from not liking you." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

Lin Yuan still didn't want to give up; Director Su's assigned task was very important, and he still wanted to try to complete it.

"Director Fei, I like you; for you, I can do anything." Lin Yuan said earnestly.

This sentence is the true essence.

It's also the top priority Director Su mentioned!

Lin Yuan is hinting at Fei Fanjin here.

For Fei Fanjin, he can do anything—including using his position to betray Su Monong.

If Fei Fanjin has already defected, she should have taken the bait by now.

Fei Fanjin's beautiful eyes gazed lightly at Lin Yuan.

A cold arc suddenly appeared on her stunning red lips: "You can do anything for me?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, for you I can do anything."

At this moment Lin Yuan's heart was racing, he was very nervous.

Looks like Fei Fanjin is finally about to show her tail?

Is she, after all, a spy?

Will she ask Lin Yuan to do something betraying Director Su?

Lin Yuan waits for Fei Fanjin to speak.

"Then are you willing to give your all for me?" Fei Fanjin suddenly countered.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, he nodded and said: "Willing."

Fei Fanjin suddenly pointed to the nearby table.

"The six men at the next table have been glancing at me several times, and they even used their phones to secretly film my skirt… They're suspected of voyeurism and sexual harassment. Can you help me give them a lesson?" Fei Fanjin asked teasingly.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, turned his head to look…

All he saw was at the neighboring table, six burly men drinking, each with tattoos on their arms—clearly thugs, not to be messed with.

Moreover, these six were arrogant, drinking beer, loudly chatting about everything, and the surrounding waitstaff dared not go over to tell them to keep it down.

Lin Yuan also noticed then that two of them had their phones constantly aimed secretly at Fei Fanjin, filming her.

One even pointed his phone at Fei Fanjin's uniform skirt, secretly filming her stocking-clad long legs.

Without a word, Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and walked over to the neighboring table.

Hmm??

Fei Fanjin was taken aback; she had only wanted to scare Lin Yuan a bit, to make this guy give up.

As it turned out, who would have guessed this guy actually went over?

Isn't he afraid of being gang‑beaten??
