Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 697
The rivalry between the Wei Family and Lin Fan has entered the stage of attack and defense against each other, both brewing plans to deal with the other.
Lin Fan’s mindset is fairly calm; the Wei Family is a mountain, trying to deal with them isn’t something that will succeed overnight. He’ll take his time to play with them.
From what the Wei Family did today, including their earlier attempt to unify the underground of Yun City, their means are quite unscrupulous. Lin Fan believes, the Wei Family will eventually show their hand and fall into a trap. There’s no rush; he’s waiting for the day they overturn in the gutter.
Lin Fan left the Company and suddenly had some free time. He considered where he would go for dinner when a call came in unexpectedly. It was Wei Yue’er.
"Yue’er?" Lin Fan answered the call.
Wei Yue’er said, "Lin Fan, where are you now? I’m in Yun City today, having some fun. Do you have time? Let’s have dinner tonight?"
Lin Fan indeed had time and smiled, "Sure, where are you? I’ll come and pick you up."
Wei Yue’er said, "No need, I have some things to finish first. I’ll come find you once I’m done. Where are you? I’ll come over later."
Lin Fan was driving and glanced outside the car, noticing a park nearby, and said, "I’m at People’s Park here. How about this, I’ll wait for you in the park; I haven’t strolled in the park for quite some time."
After agreeing, Lin Fan hung up the phone and soon parked the car in the park’s nearby parking lot.
"Young man, nice car!"
Just as Lin Fan got out of the car, an old man beside him beamed and spoke.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Do you know cars, sir?"
The old man said, "Haha, I know a thing or two. I’ve seen many young people driving, memorizing the brands. However, rarely do I see young folks who can afford a Rolls-Royce. Young man, which prominent family in Yun City do you come from?"
Only descendants of prominent families or wealthy individuals can afford such a car, so the old man inferred that Lin Fan’s background must be extraordinary.
Lin Fan said, "No prominent family, I’m from the countryside."
The old man laughed heartily; of course, he wouldn’t believe Lin Fan was from the countryside. The only plausible explanation is Lin Fan doesn’t want to reveal his identity. But whether Lin Fan reveals it or not, anyone can tell he’s a distinguished person just by the car he drives.
Meeting a scion of a distinguished family in such a park is not easy; one wonders why this young noble would visit such a small park.
"Since the young man won’t say, I won’t ask any more. I wasn’t really aiming at anything, just asking casually; don’t take it to heart, young man," the old man laughed and then turned to walk away.
Lin Fan didn’t think much of it. Driving this Rolls-Royce and going out naturally means standing out, guaranteeing high glance rates. Running into such elderly folks striking up a conversation is all too common, sometimes even attracting some attention from certain individuals.
Indeed, one function of a luxury car is to attract attention. Once a luxury car is out there, those materialistic girls flock like moths to a flame. This is why some men specifically rent a luxury car to catch girls, as it’s easier for them to take the bait.
There are news reports of a man simultaneously dating several girlfriends, deceiving them out of hundreds of thousands of yuan. He could pull it off because he rented a luxury car, posing as a Rich Second Generation. Those girls thought they caught a wealthy husband and fell into the trap.
That’s just how realistic society is. Men without money obey rules and behave, finding it difficult to meet girlfriends, but a fraud posing as a Rich Second Generation can date several women at once. Is it because the fraud is clever or because women are too realistic?
Perhaps it’s both.
Thinking of these chaotic matters, Lin Fan walked into the park.
The park was quite crowded at this time, filled with people of all ages, very lively. The most bustling place was a corner of the park known as the matchmaking corner, filled with grandpas and aunties.
That was truly a sight to behold.
These elderly folks almost all held a placard, with the placard showcasing a marriage advertisement—not for themselves but for their children.
Lin Fan glanced around, it was simply spectacular.
"Older man seeks marriage: Yun City local, born in ’92, graduated from university, upright character..."
"’93 woman seeks marriage: Yun City local, graduated with a master’s degree..."
"Female PhD seeks marriage: Yun City household, highly educated, works in Fortune 500 company, has house and car..."
Basically, everyone seems excellent, yet they don’t have a partner.
What exactly is the reason?
Lin Fan shook his head; he didn’t know the reason either, because he himself didn’t have a partner.
These elderly folks are truly exhausted from worrying about their children’s marriage. Lin Fan could sense a kind of elderly anxiety from their expressions, an anxiety stemming from their children. Only by finding a satisfactory match for their children can they alleviate this unease.
This small matchmaking corner seems like a Jianghu, and these elderly folks are the Jianghu people—they’re both comrades and rivals. When they hold onto an unsatisfactory "match," they’re generous in sharing it with others. When a popular "match" emerges, they start to vie for it.
This could certainly fit the storyline of a Martial Arts Novel.
"Here they come, here they come, the old Li couple is here!"
Suddenly, an auntie with a loud voice shouted.
It immediately caught the attention of the other elderly folks, who all looked towards an elderly couple.
An old gentleman held a marriage advertisement in one hand and a photo of a girl in the other, his face filled with pride. No doubt about it, his daughter was so excellent that she instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Among the elderly folks present, those looking for partners for their sons mostly became interested in their daughter.
One could say their daughter had become the "star match" here.
"Star matches" are rare and highly sought after when they appear.
In an instant, those elderly folks trying to find partners for their sons all gathered around the elderly couple, actively introducing their sons.
"Brother Li, Sister Li, have a look at my son, why don’t you? He’s a Yun City local, has house and car, earns thirty thousand a month, is a programmer, a perfect match for your daughter."
"Take a look at my son, he’s running a company, I assure you he’s better than most sons here!"
"My son is the best!"
"My son is simply a Dragon and Phoenix among men!"
For a moment, it was a noisy scene.
Listening to all this, Lin Fan almost laughed out loud, not really knowing why. He just found it amusing, simply a source of joy. Although the core of this matter is anxiety, this scene gives an absurd feeling, maybe that’s why, the essence of comedy is tragedy, and tragedy often appears in comedic forms.
The old Li couple wore proud expressions, even looking a bit high and mighty. Their daughter’s popularity gave them a sense of superiority.
"Everyone, no need to argue, let me first tell you our condition. We’re looking for a son-in-law; there’s only one condition—you must have at least ten million in assets!" Old Li announced.
These words instantly silenced most of the elderly folks who were clamoring.
