Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 17 - 0: Courtesy calls for reciprocity

In the age of internet information, news spreads fast, and Lin Yue’s marriage announcement in her social circle had spread widely within just a couple of days.

The reason for such rapid spread can only be attributed to certain discontented people in life.

For instance, those socialites or internet celebrities.

They were jealous that Lin Yue was not only more beautiful but also wealthier than them from birth.

They desperately tried to please those single tycoons who were unwed, which had a lot to do with Lin Yue being single!

These women were praying for Lin Yue to get married quickly to free up many of the eligible bachelors in Jiangcheng!

Once the news of Lin Yue’s marriage spread, they spared no effort in broadcasting it immediately!

But at the same time, they were curious about what kind of man a woman like Lin Yue would choose.

In other words, what kind of divine being could possess a woman like Lin Yue?

You see, Lin Yue was only in her mid-twenties, clearly still in her radiant youth, yet she chose to marry?

It made people wonder what sort of magic her husband possessed?

Of course, if you think only women gossip, you would be wrong.

Most of the young men who secretly adored Lin Yue, faced with the harsh reality of not having her, could only bask in schadenfreude and wondered who Gu Feng really was?

They wanted a reason to convince themselves why they lost to him.

This reason could be his background or his wealth.

So they frantically inquired, hoping desperately that Lin Yue’s man was worthless so they could fervently demean Lin Yue and berate and destroy this unattainable "masterpiece"!

"Is Lin Yue’s husband really a military officer like they say?"

"Are they saying his rank is fake?"

"Mr. Liu, haven’t you had a proper chat with him to suss out the truth?"

In Liu Jin’s private room, several women instantly ignited a bout of gossip.

Shaking his head, Liu Jin responded, "How could I possibly ask him that? It’s impolite."

Someone looked at Ye Wei, curiously asking, "Mr. Ye, are there really people under thirty in the military who achieve the rank of Lieutenant Colonel?"

"Yes," Ye Wei said, "But they’re usually the direct descendants from core military families with that kind of promotion speed, generally becoming generals around forty, and then succeeding their parents to become representatives of the military elite by about fifty. However, the prerequisite is that you must also be outstanding; otherwise, it’s hard to win people’s respect." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

While selecting songs, Nie Yun, holding a microphone, chimed in, "We’re examples of those who got sifted out by our families, left to idle away our time."

Someone laughed right away, "Then Lin Yue’s husband’s background must definitely be fake!"

Nie Yun, curious, asked, "What’s the situation?"

A woman explained, "A couple of days ago, a woman worth billions in our Jiangcheng suddenly announced her marriage on social media, posting her marriage certificate and a photo of her husband in military uniform. His rank seemed to be Lieutenant Colonel and he looked under thirty, but the photos have been deleted."

"Fake," Nie Yun blurted out. "That age and rank are likely from our actual descendants, but families like ours usually marry within military circles, they wouldn’t let such descendants marry someone from the capital circles of Jiangcheng."

Puffing on his cigar, Ye Wei added, "To put it this way, like my own brother, families generally first look for girls within the military culture units and then consider intermarriage with the administrative sectors of Beijing, but they never step outside of Beijing’s circle."

"So, Lin Yue’s husband’s military rank is really fake?" Hearing this, the women’s eyes gleamed with a try-and-see spark.

"Shall we go over and take a look?" someone suggested with a bit of schadenfreude, "I haven’t seen the photo, so I don’t know what he looks like."

Liu Jin, knowing what they were implying, waved them off, "Leave it, even if it’s fake, it’s still their business. Going over there to expose it will make Lin Yu lose face."

A second-generation peer whose father also worked in the city administration shook his cigarette butt, showcasing his insider information, "Lin Yu’s dad is pretty much the same, isn’t he? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come over with Zhao Xinming to butter us up."

Liu Jin glared at him, "Don’t talk about these things outside!"

The show-off shut his mouth, feeling regretful as well.

With so many celebrities and capital friends around, such information would definitely get out and it wasn’t good for internal solidarity.

Ye Wei and Nie Yun weren’t really interested in these gossips. Since they couldn’t hang out with Feng today, it felt rather dull. Extinguishing his cigarette, Ye Wei said, "That’s enough, let’s go grab some food."

Liu Jin also felt it was pointless.

The few of them planned to go grab some supper.

As for the friends they called over and the girls, they could just keep playing in the private room.

When paying the bill, the card manager came in and reported, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Xu, a friend of Lin Yu next door, has already paid the bill."

Liu Jin and his group chuckled.

It was a pity, Lin Langsheng was merely the third in command of the Chongming District, still a step below his circle.

Furthermore, with Lin Langsheng’s age and the Lin Family facing reorganization after Lin Hai’s death, they probably wouldn’t be able to help Lin Langsheng achieve any merit in the district.

It meant Lin Langsheng’s career probably wouldn’t have the chance to work in the city administration.

One could only say the Lin Family’s background wasn’t sufficient, and Lin Langsheng owed his current status entirely to Lin Hai’s clever business strategies that artificially inflated his brother’s achievements.

"Since they’ve been so thoughtful, let’s go over and toast a drink as a greeting," Ye Wei picked up his coat, suggesting to Liu Jin.

Only then did the group leave the private room and headed to the next room where Lin Yu was.
