How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 342: The Mayor’s Secretary Personally Invites

Chapter 342: Chapter 342: The Mayor’s Secretary Personally Invites

Summer, who appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, had delicate eyebrows and bright eyes. Yet, his hair seemed casual, blowing in the wind, highlighting a sense of free and easy elegance, as well as the demeanor of a wealthy heir.

Where does the demeanor of a wealthy heir manifest?

It is ubiquitous.

From a spotless white suit to white leather shoes, even the belt was white, the whole outfit virtually glowed with silver thread, and every silver thread was actually a trademark.

All were from international luxury brands.

International luxury brands manifested in him in a non-standard way.

Yet it was precisely this non-standard arrangement that elevated his outfit to unattainable heights, suggesting his attire was custom-made with standard trademark silver threads.

Lin Xiaosu only needed a glance to understand...

Why he could condense five hundred million starting capital into a market value of one hundred million within just half a year.

This guy even customized his shirt with luxury brands, how could he possibly fail to spend money?

One must know that these so-called international luxury brands can sell a random straw hat for thousands; money in the hands of these international brand manufacturers has lost its basic logic...

All of this, perceived in just a glance by Lin Xiaosu.

Lei Xiaoya stood up, "Ruoshui, you’re here!"

Ding Ruoshui smiled softly, "Yes, you haven’t met little Su yet, right? This is my boyfriend Lin Xiaosu."

Lei Xiaoya smiled, "I’ve heard you mention him several times, but this is the first time I’ve met him! This is my boyfriend, Summer!"

"Hello!" Lin Xiaosu nodded in greeting to the two.

"Have a seat!" Summer reclined lazily in the armchair, gesturing lightly towards the seat opposite.

He didn’t stand up, yet his demeanor was still relatively courteous.

Lin Xiaosu and Ding Ruoshui sat down simultaneously.

"Lin Xiaosu, right?" Summer spoke lazily, "Where do you work?"

"I started a business myself, running a small detective agency in Fengcheng," Lin Xiaosu replied.

"Fengcheng? I don’t recall any city called Fengcheng," Summer frowned.

"It’s understandable if you don’t know it; Fengcheng is just an eighth-tier small county town."

"You’re actually doing small business in a small county town?" Summer seemed very surprised.

"Is it that surprising?" Lin Xiaosu felt somewhat speechless.

Ding Ruoshui frowned slightly, her gaze turning to Lei Xiaoya, seemingly wondering why Lei Xiaoya’s boyfriend behaved so excessively, appearing condescending before her boyfriend, humiliating whom?

However, Lei Xiaoya did not meet her gaze; instead, she watched Summer with great interest.

Summer chuckled, "Indeed, it’s a bit surprising; I heard Miss Ding is from a wealthy family, how come... I’m sorry, I may have overlooked the family background, wealthy heirs also start their own businesses sometimes, I am one myself! What’s Mr. Lin’s family business?"

"That’s the kind of topic I enjoy discussing!" Lin Xiaosu sat up straight, "My family is into the business of seasonal biological cultivation engineering."

"Hmm, sounds pretty good!" Summer nodded gently, "How’s the business?"

"The input-output ratio is decent!"

"Decent... how much is that?"

"Each quarter, the investment is one, the output is ten, roughly a tenfold increase! Across various industries, I haven’t found any with a higher input-output ratio than my family’s..."

He was quite excited chatting about it.

Summer seemed a bit bewildered for a moment.

Ding Ruoshui covered her face with the teacup, her lips twitching slightly...

Now it was Lei Xiaoya’s turn to look at Ding Ruoshui, yet failed to catch her gaze.

Suddenly, Summer laughed!

He laughed heartily, "Seasonal biological cultivation engineering, input-output ratio increases tenfold each quarter; if I hadn’t known your family background, I’d be fooled by you, haha... It’s ridiculous, just farming vegetables in the countryside, yet you talk so highly, where’s your face?"

Lin Xiaosu sighed gently, "I wish to be straightforward, but you don’t understand grounded plain language, you’re used to this tune, what can I do?"

"Poverty isn’t a disease, but vanity is!" Summer gave a classic evaluation.

Lin Xiaosu replied, "Everyone wants face! But what is face? Understanding varies from person to person. For instance, I initially mentioned starting a business from scratch, with no financial help from home, earning nearly ten million in less than a year; I don’t feel like I’ve lost face. On the contrary, if my family gave me five hundred million starting capital and less than half a year later I turned it into an asset of over one hundred million, I’d think either my dad is crazy or I’m an idiot!"

He pledged that he absolutely bore no malice toward Summer.

However, Summer’s face turned dark.

Lei Xiaoya’s expression didn’t look good either.

Ding Ruoshui felt victorious inside.

I knew it, you dare to show off in front of him, dare to engage in verbal sparring, you’ll suffocate with anger!

Who is he?

He’s someone who can talk circles around my master Li Chushui in Kun Cang!

Even my master, an ancient demon who has trained for hundreds of years, was stirred by his words and wasn’t afraid of this young punk?

Suddenly, the door of the tea room was knocked.

The waiter opened the door and entered, bowing to Summer, "Young Master Xia, there’s a boss named Du Yuehe outside who wishes to see you, sir."

Summer’s complexion magically regained its luster, glancing at Lin Xiaosu’s face, he said faintly, "The boss of Blue Sky Technology Company?"

"Yes!"

"A small boss with assets less than one hundred million, what’s there to meet? Don’t bother seeing him!"

"Moreover, a few young masters heard you were in Jiangcheng and also wanted to invite you to dinner. These young masters are all Jiangcheng celebrities, wealthy or noble." The waiter said.

"Oh? Which ones?" Summer asked.

"Li Dong, son of the Director Li of Jiangcheng City Security Bureau; Xiang Qing, son of Director Sun of the Drug Supervision Bureau; Wang Xiaolong, son of Director Sun in the Municipal Office," continued with four or five names, each someone from a second generation of officials.

Their fathers were all responsible heads of certain departments or offices in Jiangcheng City.

Summer’s complexion became completely bright, nodding gently, "Convey to them, tonight at Dongjiang Restaurant, I’ll attend!"

"Sure, sir!" The waiter withdrew.

Summer sighed lightly, "Every time I come to Jiangcheng, there’s always a bunch of people waiting to host, really bothersome. Xiao Ya, I won’t be coming to your place tonight."

"No worries! You focus on your business!" Lei Xiaoya’s face turned red, feeling proud.

Again, the door of the room knocked and the waiter pushed open the door.

Behind the waiter was another person, a young man wearing glasses who appeared quite decent.

However, Summer’s complexion suddenly changed.

He stood up abruptly, "Secretary Xu..."

The glasses-wearing young man fixed his gaze on him, "You are?"

"I’m Summer from the Qixing Group; last time I visited Mayor He with my father Xia Zhongliang, Secretary Xu was also present then."

Secretary Xu!

An official of the division level? Moreover, one beside the deputy provincial-level mayor, Mayor He?

Lei Xiaoya also stood up.

No matter how wealthy and powerful they were, they were all minor figures before the mayor of this large provincial city.

Unfortunately, Secretary Xu’s gaze slid off them, moving to Lin Xiaosu, "Detective Lin! Hello! I’m Secretary to Mayor He. I’m here specifically to invite you today."

Mayor He’s secretary theoretically shouldn’t be called ’Director’, yet this is the rule of the officialdom. Those at the same level as Mayor He can call him a secretary with no problem, but anyone lower, in Mayor He’s absence, has to call him Director, although he’s only a deputy director.

Lin Xiaosu slightly frowned, "Invite me?"

"To be precise, Mayor He invited you specifically!" Secretary Xu said, "Mayor He is also here; he is waiting for you in the car."

Lin Xiaosu stood up, and his gaze turned to the car parked downstairs, with the license plate last digits being 002.

"Detective Lin, if you can make time, could you please come downstairs?" Secretary Xu bowed lightly.

"Alright, I’ll go for a walk," Lin Xiaosu said, "Ruoshui, I’ll be leaving first!"

"Okay!" Ding Ruoshui smiled.

Lei Xiaoya’s face stiffened slightly...

Lin Xiaosu followed Secretary Xu downstairs.

Ding Ruoshui also stood up, "Xiao Ya, I suddenly remembered I have some matters at home. I’ll head out first."

Then, without turning back, she exited the tea room.

The tea room door gently closed, Lei Xiaoya stood by the window looking at the car below...

She was somewhat suspicious, thinking perhaps this guy deliberately staged an act to discredit both her and Summer, otherwise, how could a grand mayor possibly invite an unknown nobody?

Who do you think you are?

However, the car’s license plate was indeed the mayor’s car.
