Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 266: When others apply double standards to you, it means you’re not important enough.
"We’ll talk about this after dinner when we finish playing mahjong."
Lin Yue didn’t want to deal with other matters during the precious mahjong time they had managed to arrange, so she didn’t handle it immediately.
To He Xin, this sounded more like an excuse.
Typically, this indicated that what these people had said earlier might just be polite talk, essentially boasting.
He Xin had seen many such people at social gatherings, who boasted extravagantly, especially in front of strangers, to build an impressive image of themselves.
But when it actually came to asking them for help, they would play dumb and brush you off.
He Xin was used to this and didn’t think much of it.
In her view, perhaps she had caused the ladies some pressure by revealing her background earlier in an attempt to engage in conversation with them, fearing they didn’t want to be outdone, which led them to sing praises of each other commercially.
Fortunately, He Xin thought these three ladies were quite nice.
At the very least, their etiquette during the game was commendable.
The key was, their mahjong skills weren’t very good, which allowed He Xin to win quite a bit of money.
She had won several million in just one afternoon, being the solo winner against three.
The three ladies were quick to pay up as well.
When the time was about right, the female nurse hurried over and whispered, "Ma’am, you’ve played for quite some time now, maybe..."
Jiang Xue and Liu Yuan were even more anxious than Lin Yue, "Yes, yes, that’s enough, you’ve been sitting for hours, no more playing."
They were really afraid if she felt unwell afterwards, Gu Feng might do something drastic!
Lin Yue was also very concerned about her child and decided not to play any longer, turning to He Xin with a smile, "Let’s have a meal together. I did promise to treat you."
He Xin thought these three ladies were indeed nice and nodded immediately.
The female nurse and Yu helped Lin Yue to stand up, then they proceeded to the dining room.
Upon seeing the lavish dishes, Jiang Xue’s appetite surged, "This must be the local cuisine of Shencheng, right? I’ve heard about it but never had the chance to try it, lucky us today."
Lin Yue, while being served soup by the nurse and blowing on it gently, curiously asked, "Can’t you get Shencheng’s dishes in Jiangcheng?"
Other regions have protective policies for agricultural and meat products.
But Shencheng’s vegetables, fruits, and meats are classified as special, so they are not subject to cross-regional protection policies.
As a result, Shencheng’s dishes are especially expensive when they reach other cities!
And they are very popular!
Considering that Shencheng alone couldn’t supply the national bourgeoisie, the dishes from Shencheng have become a unique high-end ingredient on the market.
Usually, one could only eat these special ingredients in top-tier restaurants or private kitchens.
Liu Yuan brushed off the matter, "You can buy them, but only in the top-tier restaurants. If it weren’t for the company making money this time, Jiang Xue and I could never afford them before, can you believe that?"
He Xin chuckled in agreement, "They are very expensive. The top-tier restaurants in our Hong Kong District use Shencheng ingredients, and they are about 15 times more expensive than before."
"Just for a simple dish of smashed cucumbers using Shencheng’s crisp and sweet ingredients, an ordinary restaurant would charge around 28 to 38 yuan, but for us, that dish would cost 388 yuan!"
Lin Yue looked at Jiang Xue and Liu Yuan, smiling, "Then hurry up and eat more."
Liu Yuan was too busy enjoying the food to bother talking.
Though He Xin had eaten local dishes in Shencheng before, she behaved very appropriately at the dining table now.
After a while, Yu came over and handed Lin Yue an exquisite ring box.
The packaging logo was from Lafang company.
Lin Yue turned to He Xin and said, "Here, this is for you, as a thank you for coming over today."
He Xin still thought it was a fake, so when she took it over and saw the subtle Lafang company mark that distinguishes real from fake, she hurriedly rejected it, "Lin, there’s no need, you’re too kind." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Take it, we’ve already agreed that I would give it to you," Lin Yue said nonchalantly.
"In that case." He Xin took out her phone, "How much is it? I’ll transfer the money to you."
"No need," Lin Yue said, stuffing the box into He Xin’s coat, "I don’t need it myself. I usually just give it away as gifts."
She had her own supply of the original Beauty Pill formula from Gu Feng.
It was permanent.
So she didn’t care for this technological formula she gave to Xu Dong.
Lin Qin had brought it over the last time she came, so it was handy for Lin to use as a gift when needed.
He Xin regretted her earlier suspicion of others and said somewhat sheepishly, "Then, thank you, Lin."
"Next time the sisters need a hand, you can call me; I’ll be doing some business in Shencheng regularly."
"Good, I’ve actually been very bored recently. Just don’t find me annoying later," Lin Yue joked before asking Yu, "Did I save Xu Xing’s number?"
"No," Yu shook her head, "But I remember we have his business card at home. I’ll look for it."
It was not long before Yu came back with the business card, "Found it, President Lin, should I call him for you?"
Lin Yue nodded as she sipped her soup.
Yu then directly dialed Xu Xing’s number.
After the call connected, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.
"Hold on, the madam wants to discuss something with you." Yu immediately put the phone on Lin Yue’s table, switched on the speakerphone, and let Jiang Xue know about the call situation so that they wouldn’t keep their hopes up if there were no houses available or if the other party refused to sell.
Lin Yue, "Mr. Xu?"
Upon hearing Lin Yue’s voice, the tone on the other end immediately became lively, "Yes, it’s me, madam. What do you need?"
He Xin, listening to the conversation, flashed a subtle expression but thankfully covered her face with a rice bowl.
Lin Yue, "Are there any vacant houses in Shencheng Bay?"
Xu Xing, "How many units do you need?"
Lin Yue, "Two units, for my girlfriends from Jiangcheng."
Xu Xing, "We have them. Madam, when are your friends available? I’ll call the sales department here and arrange for someone to show them around and make their selections."
Lin Yue, "Maybe in a bit, I’m eating right now. I’ll have my friends go directly to the sales department later. Their last names are Jiang and Liu."
Xu Xing, "Alright, madam, I’ll arrange it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue told Jiang Xue and Liu Yuan, "Let’s go after we finish eating, there’s no rush."
The two women nodded happily.
He Xin quietly sized up Lin Yue.
This beautiful and kindly sister with extraordinary grace, what kind of background does she have?
She hands out Beauty Pills worth hundreds of thousands, and this meal must also cost tens of thousands!
Their household is staffed with a famous chef, a professional medic, a secretary, and a nanny.
There were even security personnel in the hallway downstairs!
And although they had asked Xu Xing about the houses, he said that Shencheng Bay wasn’t selling yet, prioritizing his other developments.
So how come when it came to this sister Lin, she directly asked how many units she wanted?
