Chapter 1227 - 1302: I'm Too Poor to Afford a House, Only Have a Few Villas
"Oh, Li the leader has arrived.""The leader's here."
"Today's main character has arrived."
Several people who were originally showing off immediately stood up, each with a fervent smile on their faces.
"What kind of leader am I? I'm just a public servant."
Li Youquan strolled in with official steps, his face carrying a humble and polite smile, but his eyes clearly enjoyed the flattery.
"Oh? Long time no see, Officer Qi."
Li Youquan's eyes lit up instantly.
Back in school, Qi Weiwei was already very beautiful.
Now, with continuous physical training, her figure was full of the attractive combination of strength and grace, quickly captivating Li Youquan.
"And you are? Little Li?" Queen Qi blinked her cute, beautiful eyes.
To be honest, back in school, Li Youquan's presence was incredibly low, and now with his suit and confident smile, he was entirely unrecognizable compared to the Little Li from back then, which indeed might cause someone to fail to recognize him at first glance.
Upon hearing the words Little Li, Li Youquan's smile stiffened.
But he soon chuckled awkwardly, nodding slightly: "That's right, I was that Little Li back then."
"Officer Qi really doesn't know how to talk; Brother Li is a leader now."
Dong Ting interjected in a Yin-Yang manner, emphasizing the word "leader" intentionally.
"Little Dong, don't say that, Officer Qi has been forthright since childhood, haha." Li Youquan purposefully waved his hand generously.
"Oh dear, the leader sure has a high level of maturity." Dong Ting hastily agreed, deliberately giving Li Youquan a few flirtatious and ambiguous glances.
"Hmph, vixen." Yang Qingqing whispered to Lin Hai: "Back in school, Dong Ting was like a public bus, nearly hooked up with all the delinquents around school. Everyone knew she wasn't of good character, and later I heard she dropped out and got kept by a local tyrant."
Lin Hai smacked his lips, such women were quite common nowadays.
"Alright, let's start eating. I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's meal."
"The leader is too gracious; we weren't hungry at all just now."
"That's right, our class reunion is all about rekindling old friendships, eating is secondary."
Several people echoed Li Youquan's words.
The scene seemed harmonious and joyful.
To one side, Li Youquan wore a fake smile as he was the first to take a piece of meat, only then others started to slowly pick up food.
Queen Qi saw this scene, eyes somewhat disappointed, sighing, she said to Lin Hai: "People indeed change; back in school, everyone was truly innocent and sincere."
"It's still very warm now, haha." Lin Hai smiled in comfort.
Being someone who had seen a lot, he had already seen through such pretense.
"By the way, Officer Qi, you haven't brought a boyfriend to many class reunions. You can't possibly dislike men, can you?" Dong Ting suddenly asked again with a bit of an intent to target Qi.
Queen Qi frowned, as every class reunion, Dong Ting intentionally asked this.
This time seemed no different.
In the past, there were a few times it left her very embarrassed.
Lin Hai knew it was time for him to step in.
Just as he was about to get up, Yang Qingqing spoke first: "Oh, Dong Ting, everyone knows you have plenty of men, could form a reinforced platoon."
Dong Ting's face showed anger, but recalling Yang Qingqing's connections, she suppressed the anger, and Yin-Yanged her eyes: "I'm just concerned about our Officer Qi's personal life."
"No need for your concern, of course Qi has a boyfriend, isn't that right?"
Qingqing pointed at Lin Hai as she spoke.
Suddenly, everyone's gaze focused on Lin Hai.
Li Youquan stared fixedly at Lin Hai, a trace of jealousy flickered in his eyes, invisible to most.
Dong Ting was also watching Lin Hai, noticing there wasn't a single branded item on him, no aura of a bigshot, she immediately showed a disdainful look.
Li Youquan smilingly asked: "Officer Qi, aren't you going to introduce your boyfriend?"
Queen Qi's face flushed with a bit of shame; after all, for her, it was the first time bringing a 'boyfriend' into the public eye, she felt a bit shy.
Especially since Qi's mindset in romance was still like a schoolgirl.
"This is...my boyfriend, he, he is called Lin Hai."
Queen Qi stuttered as she introduced, mentioning the word "boyfriend," an inexplicable sense of sweetness and belonging filled her heart.
The confirmed answer made Li Youquan's eyes flicker with even more jealousy.
Back in school, he had long been infatuated with Queen Qi, and even now, when keeping several mistresses, he would involuntarily think about how wonderful it would be if the one beneath him was Queen Qi, gasping heavily.
"So where does Mr. Lin work?" Li Youquan asked illicitly.
The others also curiously focused their attention.
"Oh, I'm a security guard, working at a company. It's nice to meet you all." Lin Hai answered cheerfully, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Upon hearing Lin Hai's answer, the surrounding people suddenly showed disdainful glances.
"Oh, a little security guard? Tsk tsk, Officer Qi, your future life pressure must be immense, seeing as you need money for buying a home, a car, marriage, and children's upbringing." Dong Ting sneered with mockery and schadenfreude.
Li Youquan gave Dong Ting an approving look.
Having dealt in the system for years, he was most afraid of encountering someone who pretends to be weak but is actually strong.
Now that the water's depth had been tested, his smug face of success was revealed.
"Mr. Lin, do you have a house?" Li Youquan deliberately asked.
"No." Lin Hai acted dumb, nodding in reply.
Queen Qi frowned, coldly said: "Dong Ting, whether Lin Hai has a house has nothing to do with you, my housing provident fund can be used to loan for a house anytime!"
"Tsk tsk, loan for a house, huh? That's hard work, having to repay the loan. Better quit being a police officer and work at my husband's company with your boyfriend, since your skills seem good, just right to be a female security guard." Dong Ting mocked blatantly.
"You..." Queen Qi rose in fury, but Lin Hai immediately held her back, Qi's fiery temper indeed.
"Uh, well, I am really poor, can't afford even a twenty square meter house..." Lin Hai's tone gave off an impression of earnest admission.
Suddenly, the men showed disdainful glances, proud expressions of successful individuals.
The women couldn't care less about even glancing at Lin Hai.
Queen Qi was furious, her eyes reddened.
Yang Qingqing considered standing to speak for Lin Hai.
"Ahem, I truly don't own a house, but, I have villas, two in Yanjing, three in Huadu." At this moment, Lin Hai timidly added.
"And a few villas given by friends, can't remember how many for the time being."
In everyone's widened eye state, Lin Hai added another sentence.
