Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 179 Who was it that had been practicing ballroom dancing with their arm around their waist for eight consecutive lessons?
Shen Wanhao, sitting in the passenger seat, threw away his cigarette butt and couldn't help but curse, "You're just attracted to him because he's more handsome than you! Wait, I'm getting out to check the situation..."

He pushed open the car door and got out, coming to Shen An'an and Lin Lang's side.

Shen An'an saw Shen Wanhao approaching immediately and said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Hao, what are you doing here?"

Shen Wanhao smiled and said, "Nothing much, just passing by." Then he glanced at Lin Lang, "Your boyfriend?"

At this moment, Lin Lang also stood up and took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Brother Hao, I'm Lin Lang."

When Lin Lang speaks with locals, he usually speaks with a slight local accent.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanhao asked, "A local?"

"Yes, it's from Xigang Town."

Shen An'an, who was standing to the side, said, "Brother Hao, why are you acting like you're checking someone's household registration? Lin Lang is my best friend."

Others may not know Shen Wanhao, but Shen An'an does.

This guy is no good; he's been to prison, and his kids won't have a chance to take the civil service exam in the future.

Shen Wanhao laughed, "I'm looking for a friend who looks a bit like you. I mistook him for someone else."

Since he's a local, he's probably not the person Shen Xingnan is going to fight.

Shen Xingnan has always been very amiable to the locals. After all, everyone has many connections and each family has several relatives. In addition, the locals are unlikely to affect his interests. Even if someone curses him in the street, he doesn't take it to heart.

Lin Lang is from Xigang Town, so he can be considered half a fellow townsman.

Although Shen Xingnan did not elaborate on the details, he had been by Shen Xingnan's side for so many years and knew that anything that could anger Shen Xingnan, even if it was someone from out of town, was definitely not directed at him, but rather at his family.

Who is being targeted? From the hotel's perspective, it could only be Shen An'an.

But it seems that Shen An'an didn't suffer any direct harm...

If this had happened to a local, Shen Xingnan would never have sought such revenge.

Lin Lang asked, "Looks a bit like me? Who is Brother Hao looking for?"

"I don't know his name, I just heard that he lives in room 6206."

Shen Wanhao looked at Lin Lang as he spoke, preparing to use the final process of elimination.

What if it really is the person Shen Xingnan wants to beat up?

Although they definitely won't make a move because Shen An'an is here, at least they can follow her after finding her and can act whenever they want.

"That's not Lin Lang. Lin Lang only arrived this morning, and I haven't even arranged a room for him yet. Also, the sixth floor is where my dad arranges for guests, and my friends all stay on the eighth floor."

Shen An'an quickly explained, and then pulled Lin Lang to the other side.

After making sure Shen Wanhao couldn't hear her, Shen An'an whispered, "That guy is really fierce. I saw them fighting with machetes when I was a kid. I even spent several years in jail. You should stay away from them."

"Of course, I don't know them. But is it really that exaggerated?"

"Of course he is. If someone in the village is being bullied, they go to him for help... I thought my dad had called him, I was so scared..."

"No, no, Mr. Shen isn't that kind of person. He's very easy to talk to."

The two chatted as they walked, and a few minutes later, Shen An'an's phone rang.

It was Shen Xingnan who discovered she had run away and immediately called to look for her.

She could only say goodbye to Lin Lang for the time being, saying that she would visit him at Dayu Media when she had time in the afternoon.

……

In room 6206, a person stood at the door and earnestly called out, "Mr. Hao, let's go have a meal first, and everything else can be discussed."

He is the CEO of a small investment company in Jiangcheng, and can be considered a role model of ambition.

Having benefited from the era's dividends in previous years and amassed assets worth hundreds of millions, he found a few partners to expand and strengthen his business.

However, the situation has always been awkward: they can't afford to invest in big projects, and small projects are too risky.

The only good thing was that he met a lot of people, and he felt that networking could also improve his skills.

The downside is that you have to be a lackey for the real big shots, since even big shots need to be flattered, and the flattery of employees no longer makes them release dopamine. Being in a middle-of-the-road position is the most suitable.

He not only stood on Shen Xingnan's side, but also on Hao Bo's side.

"What should we eat? Shen Xingnan doesn't even know what I like to eat, how dare he invite me over?"

"Mr. Hao, that photo of you is of Mr. Shen's daughter..."

"Really? Then go tell Shen Xingnan that I'll pay more!"

"Mr. Hao, this isn't about whether or not to add more money..."

After seeing Shen An'an off, Lin Lang felt that something was strange about what had just happened.

According to Shen An'an, the so-called Brother Hao was actually Shen Xingnan's henchman.

The research meeting here is about to start, so there's no need for thugs to show up, right?

Especially now that things are different from before, thugs have basically been eliminated, and there are very few people who dare to act recklessly.

Unless, of course, something very special happens.

If someone doesn't give Shen Xingnan face, Shen Xingnan won't care at all. He even let his daughter massage him, and he didn't say a word.
So he went up to the sixth floor to see what was going on.

As it turned out, they overheard some conversations around the corner.

He couldn't hear what was inside the house, but he could still hear the voice from the person in the hallway who was leaning over the door, even though they were trying to keep their voices down.

Then, he went downstairs.

He easily found a van at the hotel entrance.

Shen Wanhao had gotten out of the van earlier.

After walking over, Lin Lang knocked on the car window. Shen Wanhao rolled down the window and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ask Brother Hao if anything happened inside?"

Shen Wanhao frowned and said, "No, it's just a personal matter."

Lin Lang said with a smile, "I am very familiar with President Shen and I know his personality. If he can call someone over, it must be related to Shen An'an. Brother Hao, can you help me find out?"

As they were talking, Lin Lang handed over a pack of unopened cigarettes.

Shen Wanhao took it, tossed it to someone in the back row, and asked, "Are you really An'an's boyfriend?"

Shen Wanhao didn't expect that Lin Lang had the same idea as him.

Times have changed. Their main task is no longer fighting, but rather a means of deterrence. It's been at least six or seven years since we've directly heard Shen Xingnan say he's going to beat someone up.

"Well... it's hard to say right now, we've only just started..." Lin Lang said, his tone ambiguous.

Shen Wanhao said, "It was the people in room 6206 who bullied An'an. We all watched An'an grow up and treat her like a younger sister, so we wanted to come and stand up for her. However, President Shen found out about this and told us not to do anything reckless, so we were guarding the hotel entrance."

In any case, Shen Wanhao would never involve Shen Xingnan.

It's all his fault!
As for how he got the information? He has super hearing!
Who is in room 6206?

Shen Wanhao pointed to a young man in a suit in the hotel lobby and said, "Go ask him, he knows." "What's his name?"

"Just call him Brother Bing."

"okay……"

Lin Lang quickly returned to the hotel lobby, found the person Shen Wanhao had pointed to, and went over to say, "Brother Bing, is this Brother Hao? Brother Hao asked me to come and ask him something. Brother Hao is at the door..."

Two minutes later, Lin Lang learned about the people in room 6206, and... he knew more than he had imagined.

For example, last night the other party went out late at night and took a long time to come back. He even asked the driver, who said that he picked them up from the train station.

These are all basic qualities of public relations. You must find out what the client is busy with so that you can tell Shen Xingnan.

"Golden Collar Capital, Hao Bo..."

Lin Lang took out his phone and saw a WeChat group.

It's called, "Six big shots, take me under your wing."

When he joined the group, he even asked the five experts to help him.

One of the people in the group is from Golden Collar Capital.

Lin Lang only realized that one of the six people was a top-tier big shot after he joined the group and saw the nickname.

This group of people has a rather special identity; they are Shen An'an's friends, so it's normal that Shen Xingnan doesn't know about them.

Lin Lang went to the van at the hotel entrance again and said to Shen Wanhao, "Brother Hao, I just inquired and found out that the person in room 6206 is called Hao Bo, a general manager of Golden Collar Capital. He's deliberately trying to find an excuse to put President Shen in a difficult position."

"Oh? Then we'll wait at the door." Without Shen Xingnan's arrangement, he wouldn't act rashly.

Lin Lang said, "Brother Hao, why don't you call President Shen? I just went to Hao Bo's room and overheard some conversation..."

"What?"

Lin Lang leaned closer and whispered it out.

After listening, Shen Wanhao frowned. "Are you sure he really said all that?"

Would I joke about something like this?

Shen Wanhao glanced at Lin Lang again, and Lin Lang said with a smile, "If Brother Hao doesn't believe me, you can call President Shen. President Shen will naturally have a way to verify it."

Shen Wanhao thought for a while. He couldn't call Shen Xingnan about this, as that would be tantamount to forcing Shen Xingnan to give him the order to beat someone up.

The initial phone call was fine, but it's really inappropriate to expect Shen Xingnan to give orders at this point.

Shen Wanhao asked, "If you're willing to take the lead, I can go with you. If you're not, then forget it..."

He felt that Lin Lang was deliberately instigating them to take action.

Lin Lang said, "Is that even a question? I'll definitely be the first to rush in! But I also found out another piece of information..."

Shen Wanhao: "..."

Where the hell did you get this information? Do you really have super hearing?

"You said."

"That Hao Bo went out to a prostitute last night. The other woman wanted 600, but he wasn't satisfied, so he only gave her 200 after the service was over..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"It's simple. Getting revenge is certainly the top priority, but the most important thing is to use this opportunity to gain leverage over Hao Bo and get him to invest in Xinglan Real Estate. Once things escalate, Hao Bo will basically agree to any conditions in order to keep things quiet, which... is equivalent to securing hundreds of millions of yuan in investment for President Shen..."

After Lin Lang finished speaking, Shen Wanhao's eyes instantly sharpened.

This guy is incredibly smart.

Yeah, it wasn't a big deal, they just seized on Hao Bo's minor flaws...

No wonder this guy can hang out with Shen An'an; it seems he'll become Xinglan Real Estate's son-in-law sooner or later.

"Um... Lin Lang, right? Your identity isn't suitable for this task; there's still a certain risk involved. How about this, I'll take some men and do it..."

Lin Lang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Hao, I have to show off..."

"I will talk to President Shen about it afterward, and say that it was your idea."

"no problem!"

……

Lin Lang felt that this Brother Hao was quite easy to deal with; at least he had actually managed to fool him.

Quite a few people knew what Hao Bo did last night; at least Bing, the guy he was trying to find out, knew.

This also means that Shen Xingnan knew about it.

Why didn't Shen Xingnan make a fuss about this? It's simply because this kind of thing is more like an unspoken rule. If you find fault with someone who wants to cooperate with you, then nobody can play along.

You could even turn around and use the benefits you gave me as evidence to report me...

Lin Lang didn't care anyway. If Shen Xingnan's image collapsed, so be it. What did it have to do with him?

It would be better if no one cooperated with him anymore; sooner or later he would have to sell Xinglan Real Estate to me.

He announced in the group chat: "I'm on the eighth floor. Let's all come and grab a bite to eat. I'll be waiting for you at the elevator."

It's pointless to cause Hao Bo some trouble. Not only is it unlikely that things will escalate to the point of calling the police, but even if the police were called, what difference would it make?
Shen Xingnan would always try to resolve the matter and prevent it from escalating.

What he wanted to do was to make Yang Jingyuan witness this with his own eyes, so that Hao Bo would have no chance of turning things around.

At this moment, Yang Jingyuan, who was in the room, looked at Fu Xueqing beside him and asked, "Xueqing, Lin Lang is calling us for dinner. Let's go."

"Okay, sure." Fu Xueqing's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Soon, people started walking towards the elevator entrance, and upon seeing Lin Lang, they began to chat with him.

When Fu Xueqing arrived, everyone else had already arrived. She deliberately slowed down and was the last to arrive.

She noticed that Lin Lang, apart from giving her a greeting, never looked at her again.

The reason she was so sure was because she kept staring at Lin Lang.

This guy... just forgot about himself like that?

Back in their senior year, they were forced to enroll in elective courses because they didn't have enough credits.

Because she couldn't get into the popular classes, she was forced to sign up for a ballroom dancing class, where Lin Lang was also there.

Who is it that's been practicing ballroom dancing with their arm around my waist for eight consecutive lessons?
It's only been half a year, right? You don't even remember?
Huh, why did this guy press the sixth floor button?

Did you press the wrong button?
The people inside the elevator were chatting and laughing when the elevator stopped on the sixth floor.

The moment the elevator doors opened automatically, the noise from outside drifted in.

"You shameless bastard, you slept with my sister and didn't even pay me! You won't even give me two hundred yuan, are you even human?"

"You bastard, you've finally come out! If you don't pay me today, I'll castrate you!"
