As Smith's words cut in, Lin Fei's face instantly turned black, and he glared at him menacingly: "Smith, you're really a good friend to come at me like that the moment we meet. I won't be outdone by you, so tomorrow I'll prepare some pure, non-polluted ingredients and cook a big meal to treat you!"
As soon as Lin Fei mentioned using a big meal to treat himself, Smith's smile froze for an instant, then he burst out laughing: "Lin! I was just joking with this lady, don't take it seriously, I'm leaving tomorrow, so no need for the big meal!"
Finally got rid of the "food" nightmare, he would rather die than taste Lin Fei's big meal again.
Threatened Smith hastily explained to Lin Yaxuan that what he said earlier was just a joke, don't take it seriously.
As for Lin Yaxuan, although she smiled and said it was nothing, in her heart, she had already thoroughly labeled Lin Fei as a scoundrel, and from now on, she probably wouldn't believe anything he said.
Then, Smith personally opened the top-grade fine wine he brought, poured half a cup of red wine for Lin Fei and Lin Yaxuan, and the three people clinked their glasses lightly before savoring the wine slowly.
After three rounds of wine, as Smith introduced this fine wine, the atmosphere in the room also relaxed a little. At least Lin Yaxuan had less reverence for Smith and more of a friendly feeling.
During their drinking and chatting process, she found that Smith was not as difficult to get along with as rumored, but rather easy-going, approachable, humorous and interesting.
Lin Yaxuan really couldn't understand how a hereditary noble could be friends with Lin Fei, a scoundrel. This question was like a thorn stuck in her throat, very uncomfortable.
Until Smith took out a wooden box that was still locked with an ancient Chinese-style lock!
"What is this?"
As for the wooden box that Smith took out, Lin Yaxuan was a little curious, but she didn't ask directly, and instead wondered in her heart.
Lin Fei's eyes trembled as he looked at the wooden box, and he hesitated before saying, "What does it mean? Speak plainly!"
"Alright! This is what your friend asked me to give you. Otherwise, do you really think that I, who just recently officially became the successor of the family, would have the leisure to travel thousands of miles all the way to China?"
Smith revealed a surprising message that shocked Lin Yaxuan, his true purpose for coming to China was actually just to deliver a wooden box to Lin Fei who had recently returned home.
Of course he was surprised to meet Lin Fei at the wine party, otherwise he wouldn't have been so shocked at first sight.
"Take care of my friend for me!" Lin Fei fell silent for a moment, and in his heart, he naturally understood that except for that person, no one else could invite Smith to do anything, let alone travel thousands of miles to deliver something.
After finishing, Lin Fei took the wooden box and left the room where the three of them were drinking. Although the wooden box was locked and there was no key, he wanted to open the lock on the wooden box, a thin iron wire or a fine needle would do.
"Mr. Smith, may I be so bold as to ask, you didn't travel all the way from Europe to China just to deliver a wooden box, did you?"
After Lin Fei left, Lin Yaxuan, who was full of doubts, couldn't help but ask her first question to Smith, driven by curiosity and the urge to know the answer.
"Of course!"
Smith replied affirmatively, but he didn't elaborate. There were many things that Lin Yaxuan wasn't qualified to know yet. If it weren't for Lin Fei's face, not to mention answering Lin Yaxuan's questions, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to him.
Even with a mentally prepared Lin Ya-xuan, she still couldn't help but feel some shock at the answer to the first question.
"Can you tell me, with your noble status, how you came to know Lin Fei, a person who is almost described as a scoundrel?"
Lin Yaxuan's words were almost a bit rude, but she thought they were all facts. At least in her interactions with Lin Fei, the only feeling he gave her was that of an annoying jerk who always managed to get on her nerves for no reason.
"Lin Fei? He's indeed a bastard, but he's also a good guy. As for how we met..."
Smith gently swirled the red wine in his glass, Lin Yaxuan's words inadvertently reminded him of that life-and-death experience that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The Orsini family's industries are not limited to wine, but also include oil and rare minerals.
A year ago, when he was not yet the heir to the Orlondo family, he came with a dozen or so top-notch bodyguards and nearly twenty local militiamen to win the fiercely contested position of successor in the family.
However, his meticulous preparation still fell into the trap of family rivals in a newly discovered rare metal mine on the South African plateau, where he was surrounded by an unidentified armed force and both sides started firing.
The bodyguards he brought with him were quite skilled, but in the end, they were outnumbered. The people around him became fewer and fewer, and after being trapped for a day and night, his last bodyguard also fell down.
The surrounded Smith had made preparations for suicide, but at this time, Lin Fei appeared.
He could never forget the sight of Lin Fei suddenly appearing, wearing camouflage gear and walking into the battlefield with bare fists as bullets flew everywhere, but with Lin Fei's appearance, the gunfire came to an abrupt halt...
As he thought of this, Smith, who was sitting opposite Lin Yaxuan and had fallen into a reverie, suddenly spoke out excitedly: "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you, since you didn't see it with your own eyes. Lin Fei appeared at the moment when I needed help most, alone and armed, causing thirty or forty thugs who were holding guns and wanted to harm me to flee in all directions, leaving behind their dead companions!"
"Really! He is a great god of guns, no matter where the bad guys hide, one shot, he only needs one shot to send even the most cunning bad guys to hell..."
As soon as she heard this, Lin Yaxuan's face suddenly looked a bit ugly. She never thought that the unremarkable Lin Fei beside her had once shot and killed someone in Africa.
Moreover, the number of people killed is not just one or two. Although Smith said that Lin Fei only kills extremely evil people, how can Lin Yaxuan, who would faint from watching a chicken being slaughtered, tolerate having someone with blood-stained hands by her side at all times?
In addition to Lin Fei's good relationship with Smith, Lin Yaxuan thought that in any case, Lin Fei was no longer suitable to be her assistant, and even the small temple of Hong Mei couldn't afford a big Buddha like Lin Fei.
Tonight's series of events, combined with Smith's words, Lin Yaxuan has already begun to think in her heart about how to make 'dangerous' Lin Fei stay away from her a bit further.
Seeing Lin Yaxuan's face was a bit off, Smith seemed to see through her concerns and smiled slightly: "Miss Lin, don't worry, Lin Fei is a good man. He has experienced countless hardships to send me to a safe place, but he donated the $30 million reward he gave me to a charity fund for global orphan rescue without spending a single cent..."
Three hundred million US dollars?
Lin Yaxuan was extremely shocked this time, she never thought that Lin Fei, who was so obsessed with money, would actually donate the entire $30 million reward given to him by Smith without leaving a single cent?
Is there still such a foolish person in this world?
With so much money, he could easily buy a Hongqi and let Lin Fei enjoy a high-quality life without worrying about anything for the rest of his life. He wouldn't have to be a wage slave like now.
What is he doing this for?
Reduce guilt in your heart?
At this time, when Lin Yaxuan was about to continue asking Lin Fei some things, Lin Fei, who had been holding the wooden box, came back empty-handed.
Lin Fei returned to the room, saying nothing, and casually picked up an unopened bottle of red wine, opened it, took the bottle, put the mouth of the bottle to his lips, as if he had something on his mind, and started drinking wildly.
"Oh! God! Lin, have you gone mad? My wine is for savoring, not for you to get drunk on..."
Lin Fei's unusual behavior scared Smith, who hastily took away the remaining two bottles of red wine and replaced them with various famous wines that were originally placed in the presidential suite.
Come one come all, one bottle after another, opened the wine bottle cap, picked it up and drank!
Smith couldn't stop Lin Fei, who was determined to get drunk at this time. He could only shrug his shoulders, glance at Lin Yaxuan and say, "Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with him either. I'll leave him to you, I have something else to attend to!"
Saying that, seeing the situation was not favorable, Smith slipped away like oil on his feet. In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Gong was gone, and she even left China overnight. Lin Yaxuan also didn't want to stay alone with Lin Fei, who kept drinking to drown his sorrows.
"You drink slowly by yourself, I'm leaving first!"
Lin Yaxuan, who had just lifted her foot and was about to leave, was forcibly pulled back by Lin Fei, who handed her a bottle of wine.
"Director Lin, don't forget what you promised me. As long as I can get the contract signed for the company, whatever I ask of you, you'll agree to... Now, I'm asking you, let's have a drink together!"
