The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 250: Another Encounter With Ling Wei

The mood in the hall was festive.

Everyone at the party was the society’s elite. They chatted casually and happily among themselves.

Tang Hao sat at one corner of the hall. He was feeling bored.

He was not too fond of mingling among the upper echelons of society.

Back at the Han family dinner party, he had Han Yutong with him, and they enjoyed themselves by eating to their heart’s content. The Luo family dinner party was different. The food would be served when everyone was seated. That meant that he still had to wait.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion near the entrance.

The commotion spread throughout the hall.

“President Ling is here!”

“What? Ling the Femme Fatale is here?”

Everyone rushed toward the front door.

Tang Hao was surprised. ‘President Ling? Is it her?’

He stood up and walked toward the front door.

He looked past the crowd and noticed a female figure walking toward the door.

She looked like she had walked out of a dream. She wore a sky-blue evening gown that looked lavish and elegant.

The evening gown was form-fitting, which accentuated the curves of her body. Her body was slender and tall, and her flawless legs attracted everyone’s attention.

What was more attractive was her perfect face. It shone under the bright lights.

The hall became silent as she walked in.

Everyone’s eyes glazed over.

Even Tang Hao was also stunned when he saw her.

He had met that woman twice before the party. The first time, she was drunk and had a seductive charm. The second time, she was in her work clothes, and she carried a professional air.

This was the third time he met her, and she looked blindingly beautiful.

The atmosphere in the hall changed completely after her arrival.

After a short silence, the hall exploded with excited voices.

“President Ling!”

Many people rushed forward to greet her.

Everyone looked at her with admiration and enthusiasm.

Not only did she have a beautiful figure, but she also had an extraordinary social status. As the president of Tai An Group, she was one of the top figures in the business world of Province Z.

She walked over with a charming smile and nodded at the people around her.

She was courteous but did not attempt to be intimate with anyone. Even so, she attracted everyone’s attention no matter where she went.

Soon, Old Master Luo came over and greeted her enthusiastically.

She was handed the reins of Tai An Group at a young age and managed it incredibly well. In their eyes, she was not only a beautiful woman, but she was also a very capable one.

The atmosphere in the hall became more festive than ever.

The dinner was about to start. Everyone found their seats and sat down.

Tang Hao randomly picked a seat and sat down too.

Ling Wei looked around in all directions, trying to find a suitable seat.

Suddenly, her eyes focused on a certain spot as she curiously regarded a person sitting there.

Then, her eyes sparkled and she walked toward Tang Hao.

“So it’s you!” She said with a smile. “I thought that I had mistaken you for someone else!”

Then, she sat down next to Tang Hao.

Everyone was dumbstruck when they saw that.

‘Who the hell is that guy? Where did he come from?

‘Old Master Luo was respectful of him, and now he’s so close with President Ling.’

Everyone admired him, even though they were equally as shocked.

“Long time no see, President Ling!” Tang Hao greeted her with a smile.

Ling Wei straightened her jet-black hair. “It’s been a while! About two months, I think?”

Then, she sighed. “Too bad though!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Too bad I didn’t manage to convince you to sell me your recipe last time. Your Bingji Beauty Cream seems to be selling very well! I’ve also given it a try. The results are amazing, even better than the beauty cream you gave me the last time!” Ling Wei said.

“Your Tai An Group is so big. One less product won’t even cause a dent in its earnings!” Tang Hao said.

“That’s not the same thing. Tai An Group was started by my father. I’ve yet to leave my mark on it.”

Then, Ling Wei leaned closer to Tang Hao and stared at him unblinkingly with her beautiful eyes.

“Hey! Do you have any other recipes?” She whispered.

Tang Hao smiled. “Of course I do!”

“What are they? Are they also beauty products?” Ling Wei looked expectant.

“No!” Tang Hao shook his head.

“What is it then?” Ling Wei was becoming more curious.

“An aphrodisiac!”

“Ah?” Ling Wei blushed and looked at Tang Hao bashfully.

She thought that Tang Hao was making fun of her.

“I didn’t expect that you’re such a joker!” She said, pretending to be angry.

“I’m not joking with you! The aphrodisiac is quite amazing!” Tang Hao said seriously.

“You weren’t joking?” Ling Wei was stunned again.

“Of course!” Tang Hao nodded.

“Hah! I was mistaken!” Ling Wei blushed again.

Then, she became surprised. “If the aphrodisiac is as amazing as the beauty cream and the weight loss tea, that would be incredible! There’s a huge market for that! I don’t think you’d sell me the recipe though!”

Tang Hao smiled.

The aphrodisiac indeed had a great prospect. He was not going to sell the recipe no matter how much money she offered.

They chatted for a while more when Ling Wei suddenly remembered something. She hesitated for a while and asked, “You are... quite proficient in martial arts, right?”

“I’m alright! What about it?” Tang Hao said.

Lin Wei lowered her voice. “I need your help with something!”

She paused for a while and continued, “I’ve received several threats lately.”

Tang Hao’s expression changed when he heard that.

“You’re not calling the police?”

“Of course I did. The situation is rather peculiar though. A business rival is giving me trouble. It’s a multinational company called Beck Corporation. Have you heard of them before?”

“I’ve seen their name online!” Tang Hao nodded.

“Recently, Tai An Group and Beck Corporation have been competing for a project. We managed to win it, and Beck Corporation is trying to stop us from signing the contract by any means.

“We’ll be signing the contract tomorrow, and I’d like you to go with me. In case Beck Corporation tries to physically obstruct me, I think I’ll be safe with you protecting me.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be too much danger. It’s an important day tomorrow, and I will have a lot of bodyguards escorting me. I’m asking you to come along because I think I need the extra protection. The contract is very important, after all.”

Tang Hao thought for a while and eventually agreed.

It was a good thing for Haotian Co. Ltd. if they could strike a friendly relationship with a large corporation like Tai An Group.

The dinner party soon ended successfully.

Tang Hao sent Ling Wei to the entrance. Three bodyguards were already waiting for her. They escorted her into a car.

Then, the car slowly drove away.

After seeing her leave, Tang Hao got in his car and left the Luo family manor.
