Genius Club-Chapter 639 - 31: Reversing Cause and Effect! The Girl from the Future (Key Chapter Triple)_3

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Lin Xian stepped on the brake and parked the purple Lamborghini in front of the banquet hall, then looked up, glancing at his reflection in the rearview mirror—his bearded, square face, long angular eyes, deep eye sockets, slightly curly hair, embodying the very essence of an oil prince:

"Although my acting isn’t as good as yours, I was trained by a Hollywood drama master."

"Oh? Which one?"

Angelica asked with interest:

"I thought I knew all the drama kings of Hollywood."

Lin Xian shook his head with a smile:

"This one, you truly don’t know."

Saying that, he pressed a button to open the Lamborghini’s scissor doors, which opened vertically.

The valet and reception staff immediately surrounded the scene, offering white-gloved hands to Angelica on the right side to assist her out of the low car; and on Lin Xian’s side, another valet was bending over in wait.

Lin Xian stepped out grandly, casually pulling out several crisp bills from his pocket, placing them, along with the Lamborghini’s keys, into the hands of the valet.

The valet’s eyes widened in surprise.

He hastily caught them and bowed in thanks.

Lin Xian straightened his suit collar and walked towards the other side, also handing a few bills to each of the wait staff around.

Then he took Angelica’s extended left hand, held it, and walked with her on the red carpet toward the lively banquet hall inside.

Along the way, Angelica, true to her reputation as a socialite and queen of high society, warmly greeted everyone they passed, regardless of age or gender.

Angelica responded with a smile.

Her proud figure, clad in a deep purple evening gown, exuded a strong presence.

Unlike most women whose hair was done up or tied back for such occasions, Angelica’s smooth, cascading brown hair flowed down her bare back, exuding extra confidence and poise.

Of course, Lin Xian knew no one here.

He didn’t even recognize himself!

So, whoever Angelica smiled at, he smiled at; whoever she talked to, he nodded at, pretending to understand completely.

Everyone at the venue spoke English.

If they spoke slowly, Lin Xian could understand, but if they spoke quickly, or sometimes used confusing grammar and conjunctions, he found it very difficult to follow, only half understanding.

Thus, he simply kept silent, pretending to be an Arab prince who was not very proficient in English.

After all, with Angelica by his side, no one would question his identity.

Angelica was the best calling card.

Sufficient to represent—

I’m wealthy.

Not long after the couple entered the lobby, the banquet began.

"Look, Lin Xian, over by the staircase pillar, that woman in the light yellow gown with her hair up..."

Angelica whispered close to Lin Xian’s ear while holding her wine glass:

"That’s Jask’s secretary."

Lin Xian took the opportunity to grab a glass of wine from a waiter and glanced toward the staircase.

There was only one woman in a yellow off-the-shoulder evening gown.

Easy to recognize.

She was similarly tall and slim, seeming to share Angelica’s model-like figure... indeed, were the selection criteria for the world’s richest man’s secretary also that high?

Lin Xian believed that if this attractive, well-proportioned secretary also pursued a career in Hollywood, her achievements might not fall short of Angelica’s.

After all, a woman who could be the secretary of the world’s wealthiest man and was so trusted must be no ordinary person.

Setting aside education and perception for the moment, her capabilities must already far surpass those of ordinary people. Otherwise... why would Jask specifically choose her as his secretary?

The world had many women more glamorous and attractive than her, and Jask, the playboy, never lacked beautiful girlfriends. Beauty, for the wealthy, is ironically the cheapest commodity.

This also made Lin Xian somewhat concerned...

Could Angelica truly handle this secretary?

He observed the secretary with renewed confidence.

She must usually wear glasses, but she had likely switched to contact lenses for tonight’s dinner. Yet based on the shape around her temples and her eye movements, it wasn’t hard to tell there were signs of glasses use.

Her appearance was indeed top-notch, prettier than Angelica’s lively beauty, giving off a more gentle and charming vibe.

Her hair, a standard golden blonde, shone beautifully, twisted up behind her head in a very formal banquet hairstyle.

"The man she’s talking to is a high-ranking executive at an internet company."

Angelica whispered:

"She hasn’t noticed me yet because there are too many people here. But that’s only a matter of time... so let’s start the plan, Lin Xian. I’m going to greet and mingle with various acquaintances now."

"You move into playboy mode as soon as you can, giving that secretary a reason to approach me, and also a reason for me to ditch you and get together with her. Can you do that? In hindsight... I should have trained you last night. It seems you’re not really the type who knows how to charm and amuse women."

Lin Xian snorted lightly:

"No worries, I have a superpower."

Angelica stepped back, looking Lin Xian up and down:

"What superpower?"

Lin Xian, just like Bruce Wayne in the "Batman" movie when asked by the Flash about his superpower, pointed to the face that wasn’t really his:

"I am rich."

Angelica gave a knowing smile, stretched out her index finger, and tapped Lin Xian’s chest:

"Good luck, guardian of the night... I hope this place proves to be your unbeatable Gotham City."
