Chapter 58: For Him

Lin Muqing walked out of the cabin. She was wearing a professional little suit and a one-step skirt. Perhaps this combination sounds very ordinary, and perhaps every female employee goes to work in this standard set, but no one else can wear it like her and show off her feminine curves. And we can also see the kind of aloof temperament she carries. Yes, he really suits this temperament, because in her field, she is the undisputed number one!

Among the crowd, a reporter who had come specially to cover the event said excitedly into the camera that although there was a lot of exaggeration in his description, it did a good job of introducing Lin Muqing's appearance.

Lin Muqing walked out of the cabin door and walked down the escalator with an elegant gait. After her, Tong Gang and Li Cheng also walked out of the cabin door, and the crowd immediately cheered, with banners being held high. A few children who had prepared themselves long ago took the initiative to offer flowers, and then the person in charge of the reception came forward and followed the greeting protocol of the national leaders to the hilt, which made people feel very high-class.

A middle-aged man in his forties took the initiative to come forward and say, 'I very much welcome Mr. Tong Gang, Mr. Li Cheng, and Chairman Lin Muqing. I am the general manager of the American branch of the Hong Kong City Joint Investment Fund. My name is Sun Wei.'

In response, Lin Muqing replied lightly, 'Thank you for your trouble, Manager Sun, for today's welcoming ceremony.'

Zhou Ming seemed to remember the name Sun Wei a little. When he was making his first fortune in Gangcheng, he was his futures broker. At that time, although he lost to himself, Zhou Ming still felt that he was somewhat competent in market analysis. It seems that Lin Muqing remembered his evaluation, so she promoted him and now made him the general manager of the American branch.

Perhaps this situation seems a bit hasty at first glance, but in reality, since Lin Muqing's foundation is too weak, the number of people she can use is limited, and at the same time, she also needs to promote some of her own people, otherwise it is easy to be bypassed by others with ulterior motives. This shows that although Lin Muqing is flourishing on the outside, in reality she is also walking on thin ice.

As Zhou Ming thought this, Lin Muqing said to the others, 'Thank you very much for taking the time to come and pick me up. I am honoured by your kindness.'

Although it was just a very ordinary thank you, it sent the crowd into a frenzy. The reason was simple: since Lin Muqing had said thank you to them, it was as if they were all about to die of happiness.

At this time, Robert stood out in a very unharmonious manner and said, 'Hello, distinguished Ms. Lin Muqing, I am very happy to meet you here today. You are much more beautiful in person than in your photos, like an angel sent from heaven. Let me introduce myself, my name is Robert Adams, and I am also one of your admirers. I think you may have heard of me.'

Robert was undoubtedly shameless for saying this, but unfortunately, the Adams family behind him was really too powerful.

Lin Muqing just paused for a moment before replying, 'Yes, Mr. Robert, the Adams family is a prestigious family in Brighton and even in the United States. It is a family that all financial practitioners must know. I am also very happy to meet you.'

Robert said that he was honoured, and then asked, 'Ms Lin Muqing is so beautiful and elegant, so I want to ask you something, and I believe you will not refuse?'

Lin Muqing nodded and said yes, and Robert immediately revealed an incredibly bright smile, and then said, 'On the way here, I heard a very interesting story. Someone told me that you, Ms Lin Muqing, are very familiar with him, to the extent that you are willing to have a relationship with him even if you admire him very much. You came to the United States this time to find him, didn't you?'

As soon as Robert finished speaking, Lin Muqing's secretary, Ah Min, immediately rebuked him, saying, 'You insolent rascal! Do you know what you're saying? I want you to immediately apologize to Chairman Lin and leave here at once, or even if you're from the Adams family, I won't let you off!'

Facing Ah Min's rebuke, Robert immediately made a gesture of surrender, while explaining, 'Beautiful secretary lady, this is not something I said, but someone told me, and the guy who is really being rude to Ms. Lin Muqing is over there.'

Robert said, casually pointing over to Zhou Ming.

Although Robert's initiative to go out had given them an ominous feeling, they were still shocked when Robert pointed over to them now.

'Teacher, shall we leave first? This guy is obviously targeting us,'

Li Yang suggested to Zhou Ming, and Chen Shu and Ye Ning nodded repeatedly, but Zhou Ming said, 'Don't worry, it's fine. Besides, Robert has already calculated everything. If we run away now, we'll only be more embarrassed. Let's just wait for Lin Muqing to come over. Have you forgotten what I said? I do know her, right?'

They were doubtful about what Zhou Ming said. In addition, under Robert's guidance, everyone looked over here. At this time, it really wasn't a good time to run away, so they could only wait for the verdict of fate.

Zhou Ming led Chen Shu, Ye Ning, Li Yang and the others towards Lin Muqing. The crowd automatically parted to let them through, but it wasn't a welcoming road. As Zhou Ming walked past everyone, he could hear the other party scolding him, calling Zhou Ming brazen and shameless.

Zhou Ming came to Lin Muqing, who looked him up and down and asked, 'You're the one who said that I admire you very much, and that I'm even willing to have a relationship with you for that reason, and that I came to the United States all because of you, right?'

Facing Lin Muqing's questioning, Zhou Ming had not yet had a chance to speak when Chen Shu stepped forward and said, 'Ms. Lin Muqing, things are not what you think. We only said that we might get to know you, and everything else was made up by that Robert!'

Ye Ning and Li Yang also chimed in, saying, 'Yes, Ms. Lin Muqing, we also admire and respect you very much. You are our idol. How could we disrespect you?'

Compared to Chen Shu and Ye Ning and Li Yang's anxious explanations, Zhou Ming appeared very calm. He just looked at Lin Muqing intently and asked, 'Sister Muqing, I believe you came for me, right?'

Zhou Ming's words were like a stone thrown into the water, instantly sending ripples outwards. The people around him angrily rebuked Zhou Ming one after the other: 'This is truly an extremely disgusting bastard! He still refuses to repent even now. I think he should be immediately escorted from the airport and blacklisted for all occasions. A man without gentlemanly manners like this should just be left to die!'

However, the uproar around them only lasted for less than a minute, because Lin Muqing smiled and replied, 'Yes, that's true.'

After saying this, Lin Muqing took two steps forward and hugged Zhou Ming.

This scene was like a slap in the face, slapping everyone in the face, including Robert, leaving them all dumbfounded. No one expected this outcome, because in their minds, Lin Muqing was the embodiment of nobility, wisdom, beauty and elegance, an angel who was sacred and not to be trifled with, while Zhou Ming was a Chinese person who had come from nowhere. The difference was not just a little.

It was precisely because of this that Robert was so confident in arranging those words in front of Lin Muqing. He was convinced that there would be no relationship between them. Even if there was the slightest chance, saying maliciously that there was a relationship was completely unacceptable to a woman.

After Robert finished speaking, he waited for Lin Muqing to lose her temper on the spot and kick out the Chinese man who had the nerve to offend her. He would definitely lend a hand at that time.

Later, things seemed to develop in this way, but how did it go off track in the end? How did Lin Muqing, such a goddess, accept that statement and even hug the damn Chinese guy on her own initiative? This is so incomprehensible.

It was also incomprehensible for Chen Shuyu and Li Yang. Although Zhou Ming had told them on the way here that he knew Lin Muqing, they only thought that he meant they had met somewhere because he hadn't gone into detail. Who would have thought that Zhou Ming would have such a close relationship with Lin Muqing? So when they saw Lin Muqing hug Zhou Ming, they were also stunned.

Fortunately, they were Zhou Ming's students, and seeing their teacher in such a close relationship with Lin Muqing and able to get through this crisis also made them very happy.

Therefore, they were also the first to come back to their senses. Chen Shu asked, 'Teacher, and this Ms. Lin Muqing, did you really know each other a long time ago?'

Hearing Chen Shu's voice, Lin Muqing left Zhou Ming's shoulders and asked him, 'Are they your students from the finance class?'

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Not only are they my students, they also like you very much and regard you as an idol. You should know that originally, the position of idol belonged to me.'

This answer made Lin Muqing smile happily. She turned to Chen Shu and the others and said, "Your teacher and I have known each other for a very long time. Since you all like me very much, I think you must all know the story of my going to Hong Kong City to make a name for myself in 1987, right? At that time, I went to Kongcheng with your teacher, and it was your teacher who guessed the American stock market crash, which helped me make my first pot of gold and get rich.'

Lin Muqing's words once again shocked the audience, because for the people present, they all knew Lin Muqing's resume very well, and they also knew that Lin Muqing had established her own fund company by guessing the American stock market crash that year, and was later selected by the Kongcheng tycoons to serve as the chairman of the Kongcheng United Investment Fund.

However, there has never been a conclusive verdict on that stock market crash, and many people still believe that it was just an accident. Many economic experts failed to predict it, and it was shocking enough that Lin Muqing was able to predict it. Now Lin Muqing is telling everyone that it was actually Zhou Ming, who they had just mocked and insulted, who had predicted the stock market crash. This was like eating a dead rat, and they found it completely unacceptable.

But the truth had been repeatedly told to them, and it was the truth.

After Lin Muqing finished speaking, the father and son duo of Kongcheng Shipping Group, Tong Gang and Tong Hua, and Li Cheng, the chairman of Changhe Industrial, also came over to shake hands and say hello to Zhou Ming.

If Lin Muqing's words were just hearsay before, then this scene is undoubtedly conclusive evidence, at least proving that Zhou Ming also has a certain degree of influence in Kongcheng, otherwise why would they all give him face?

So the question is, if he is so powerful, then why did he give the illusion of coming out of nowhere?

This question made Robert almost go crazy, because the reality in front of him was slapping him in the face like crazy. If he could, he would really like to be killed by a plane, he was so ashamed!

However, Zhou Ming didn't bother to consider Robert's mood. He said to Lin Muqing, 'Sister Muqing, you have worked hard for such a long time on the plane. I have already arranged a place for you to stay. If you haven't made any arrangements yet, just come with me.'

In fact, Zhou Ming's words were nonsense. Imagine someone of Lin Muqing's status, how could no one have made arrangements before coming here? But in the face of Zhou Ming's question, Lin Muqing really nodded happily, and even Tong Gang and Li Cheng, who had come with her, also nodded, agreeing to accept Zhou Ming's arrangements. This made everyone suddenly feel confused.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Zhou Ming led Lin Muqing away. At the end, Zhou Ming did not forget to say to Robert, 'I'm sorry, Mr Robert, it seems I've ruined your idea.'
