The reception is about to begin, and the clothes to wear to the reception should be carefully selected, which is also in line with Wang Hanzhi's meticulous behavior.
Lu Ming dutifully pushed the huge hanger over, on which were neatly hung complete sets of clothes.
Li Yuebai also knew that he was good-looking before he crossed over, and he would groom himself occasionally, but after all, he was not so formal. He was a little dazzled when he saw so many extravagant clothes at first glance.
Handmade suits tailored by traditional craftsmen, antique cufflinks, none of which he could afford with his monthly salary before time travel.
"System, do you think that what clothes you wear will affect the following plot?" Li Yuebai asked casually while observing carefully.
"Clothing is always one of the important elements of this article." The system said solemnly: "There are many appearance descriptions in this article."
In the original text, whole paragraphs are often used to describe Wang Hanzhi’s appearance. In the early stage, it was nothing more than highlighting the sense of abstinence—a black suit with the cuffs fully buttoned, no tie with any extra fancy decorations, pure metallic accessories...
"The original owner has already followed the route of abstinence, why does he still attract perverts?" Li Yuebai was helpless.
"According to the logic of the X text, the more abstinent the character is, the more he can arouse the desire to conquer." The system seriously talked about this unlimited topic.
I have to admit that this is indeed a direction of human desire. The more beautiful the iceberg is, the more some people want to tear it apart and make it dirty.
"Then it's better to do the opposite." Li Yuebai said.
"The original owner's style is here. If the change is too large, it may destroy the image of the original owner." The system reminded cautiously.
"Well, I know." Li Yuebai bent down, his fingertips slid across a row of clothes, and finally stopped somewhere.
The suit he chose was still a dark suit, but it was different from Wang Hanzhi's usual style. The fabric was smoother, and the tailoring was a little bolder. Light.
"Host, are you sure you want to choose this one?" The system said: "From a psychological point of view, this one is provocative. Are you sure you want to wear this one to meet Lin Xie?"
"This is exactly the effect I want." Li Yuebai nodded: "In any case, even if I dress like a priest, he will still have malicious intentions. Changing the direction may have unexpected effects."
In the selection of accessories, Li Yuebai also deliberately chose more aggressive and provocative ones.
Wang Hanzhi usually uses platinum jewelry more, but Li Yuebai replaced all of them with gold this time - men's bracelets and rose-shaped collar buttons, all of which shone with an ambiguous golden light. An extra scarlet scarf was placed in the chest pocket, and a leopard head was embroidered with gold thread on the scarf.
After tidying up, the time is almost up.
"Teacher, do I need to accompany you to the reception?" Lu Ming asked in a slightly embarrassed tone.
He has a strong student spirit and a somewhat introverted personality. He has always disliked such occasions, but as long as Wang Hanzhi asks, he will obediently obey.
"No need." Li Yuebai said: "You go back first—no rest, and keep in touch with me on your mobile phone at all times."
"Huh?" Lu Ming accepted the order half-understood.
When Li Yuebai appeared at the reception, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
People already knew Barrister Wang Hanzhi Wang, and had seen his outstanding appearance long ago, but this time, they all felt that he was slightly different from the past, which was refreshing, and this change was not out of the ordinary, not worth paying special attention to. I went forward to ask, so I just looked at him a few more times, and talked as usual, and didn't treat him specially.
With a stylized expression, Li Yuebai chatted with everyone and clinked glasses.
"Host, Lin Xie is coming soon." The system suddenly reminded.
"Oh?" A little faster than in the original work.
Lin Xie in the original work waited patiently until the reception was about to end before approaching Wang Hanzhi.
Could it be that Lin Xie was not so patient this time.
Li Yuebai collected himself, found a relatively quiet corner, and waited quietly.
Not long after, a voice rang in my ear: "Mr. Wang Hanzhi, this is the first time we meet, I am Lin Xie."
A well-regulated address, polite words... If you write it out, it is really an ordinary greeting.
However, Lin Xie's voice is obviously different. His voice is much lower than that of ordinary young people, and there is a faint smile, and if it is fair to judge, it can be said to be very pleasant, as dark and deep as a nightmare. The voice made my heart tremble after hearing it.
"Hello." Li Yuebai nodded and looked at Lin Xie.
In the original text, there is very little description of the dialogue between the two at this stage, because the dialogue is not the focus, and the focus is on eye contact.
The protagonist Gong in the x novel always has his own halo, so that others can't help but feel good about him just by looking at it.
Li Yuebai stared at Lin Xie's eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this halo was indeed terrifying.
"I just listened to your speech and benefited a lot." Lin Xie smiled politely: "I wonder if Mr. Wang is willing to cooperate with Lin's consortium?"
Li Yuebai searched the original owner's memory and found that the original owner had never cooperated with the Lin's consortium, specifically, he had never received an invitation from the Lin's consortium.
"Oh?" Li Yuebai squinted his eyes: "Young master Lin, as far as I know, the Lin consortium has never been interested in me."
"My father has a private lawyer who has cooperated with you for many years, so he never found an opportunity to cooperate with you." Lin Xie also smiled: "But I am different."
If his smile was seen by those famous ladies, it would be enough to make them cover their hearts and secretly be nympho for a long time, but it was a pity that it had no effect on Li Yuebai.
"Then I don't understand." Li Yuebai also smiled: "I don't know Mr. Lin, is he inviting me to cooperate with the Lin's consortium or with Mr. Lin himself?"
He smiled like this, but he used all his strength to suck the milk.
It's not that Wang Hanzhi never shows a smile in his daily life, but his smile is also cold and repulsive, never showing the slightest temptation. Li Yuebai showed this smile against Wang Hanzhi's appearance, but he had practiced with the system countless times before.
"Very good, host." The system said coldly: "If you go too far, the system will remind you ooc."
"Thank you, it seems that my level is not bad." Li Yuebai said.
No matter how broad-minded Lin Xie is, he is in a high position, after all, he does not have enough age to support him. Faced with such a blatant temptation, he will always be unable to hold back for a moment.
Lin Xie's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help leaning forward, approaching Li Yuebai's ear, and said in a low voice, "What does Lawyer Wang think?"
At the same time, his hand reached for Li Yuebai's belt, and a business card was lightly stuffed into it.
According to what was written in the original novel, Lin Xie put down his business card, brushed past Wang Hanzhi, and turned around with great self-control and left.
However, due to Li Yuebai's deliberate guidance, Lin Xie lost his original self-control here.
After he put down the business card with his right hand, he couldn't help touching Li Yuebai's arm, slid all the way down the smooth material, and then squeezed Li Yuebai's hand gently.
Li Yuebai didn't move, nor did the smile on his face, instead he leaned forward slightly, and leaned close to Lin Xie's ear.
With a smile, his voice changed back to the indifference and arrogance of the original owner, and the words he uttered were merciless.
"Let go." Li Yuebai said: "Do you want to be like Mr. Zhao, who can't get down in front of everyone?"
Lin Xie's expression changed, and he let go of his hand as if nothing had happened.
"Just now at the venue, the question Mr. Zhao asked may not be his own idea." Li Yuebai continued: "Young master, what is your purpose? Why are you hiding it?"
"Huh?" Lin Xie pretended not to know anything and shrugged.
"Could it be..." Li Yuebai withdrew his smile and resumed his cold expression, not planning to just let him go, and whispered: "...do you have unreasonable thoughts about me?"
Lin Xie was taken aback.
He didn't expect that Wang Hanzhi's speech would be like this, proactive, direct, and unscrupulous, which completely overturned his previous investigation results.
What's even more frightening is that he still calls himself "Little Master" which is similar to a joke.
Lin Xie had always been thought to have a scheming mind far beyond his age, but in front of Wang Hanzhi, he seemed to have turned back into an ignorant eighteen-year-old boy, and all his thoughts had been seen through.
It's really boring.
While he was in a daze, Li Yuebai took the opportunity to pull back and leave.
Leaving the occasion of being alone with Lin Xie, but still unable to withdraw from the reception for a while. Wang Hanzhi has a certain reputation and has just given an important speech, so he can't leave early in front of so many important people.
After talking with other important people at the reception for a while, Li Yuebai became aware of a new problem.
There were too many people who came to toast him.
Wang Hanzhi's drinking capacity is moderate, and he is usually very self-disciplined and never drinks too much. Even when he is attending a reception, others understand his temper and don't toast him too much.
But this time, everyone came to toast one after another.
For a while, some were overwhelmed.
Fortunately, since Li Yuebai came here, with the help of the system, the drinking capacity of this body has been strengthened, otherwise he might have been drunk.
Get people drunk first, and then do sex after drinking, this is also a common routine in x texts.
Li Yuebai tried to find Lin Xie's figure, but found that he disappeared into the crowd, and he didn't know where he went.
The young master was indeed not simple. After being ridiculed, not only did he not feel disappointed, but he accelerated his pace of attack. He even used such tricks as getting drunk, probably because he wanted a quick victory.
Li Yuebai estimated that he had drunk enough wine, so he began to pretend to be drunk, pushed away the crowd, made a gesture of trying to maintain a normal pace, and went to the bathroom.
The decoration of the washroom is magnificent, with black and white glazed wall tiles and black marble sinks. The more gorgeous it is, the more inexplicably shameful it is.
Because in the original work, Lin Xie overthrew Wang Hanzhi for the first time here, and staged a classic toilet play.
Li Yuebai took out his phone, connected to the video connection with Lu Ming, instructed Lu Ming in the video, and then hid the phone in a corner, leaving only the camera pointed outside.
After arranging all this, I relaxed a little, turned on the tap, and washed my hands carefully.
With the sound of rushing water, the bathroom door was opened.
Lin Xie stood at the door, looking at Li Yuebai with unclear eyes.
Li Yuebai turned around in front of the huge bathroom mirror, and glanced at Lin Xie coldly, as if he didn't know him at all.
It's a pity that his face is reddish now, his eyes are distracted, and his aloof appearance is acting weird, like a red flower in the fog, with a special allure.
Lin Xie's eyes darkened again, he walked in slowly, pretended not to care, closed the bathroom door, and locked it with a click.
Li Yuebai frowned: "Get out of the way."
"Why are you talking to me like that?" Lin Xie smiled.
As he approached Li Yuebai step by step, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and the invisible coercive aura gradually appeared. The originally open bathroom turned out to be a bit cramped.
When it was too close, Lin Xie held Li Yuebai's shoulders almost gently, and then pressed him against the cold wall with great force.
"There are only two of us here." Lin Xie lowered his voice next to Li Yuebai's ear, "You can't escape."
