Chapter 605: Chapter 152: Journey to the Capital City; First Meeting with Pei Danqing; Xu Lin Debates the Old Man

May 9th, a little past eight in the morning.

Xu Lin took a direct flight to the Capital City.

Flying from Jiangdu to the Capital City only takes about two hours, plus miscellaneous time like waiting, it’s just over four hours.

So by noon on the 9th, Xu Lin was already out of Beijing International Airport.

This was Xu Lin’s second time coming to the Capital City; before the start of his sophomore year, Ms. Ren had brought him to the Capital City for a trip, they visited the best university here, trying to ignite Xu Lin’s ambition to get into a good university just like other parents.

Clearly, Xu Lin’s ambition wasn’t sparked.

After leaving the airport, Xu Lin hailed a taxi.

"When will I be able to drive my own car in the Capital City?"

It’s well known that owning your car in the Capital City is quite difficult; just the issue of getting a license plate can stop countless people. Many have had their drivers’ licenses for a long time, meeting residency and work conditions, but are stuck on the license plate issue, making buying a car a distant dream.

"Buddy, where to?"

The driver was an old man, asking him in the Capital City dialect.

"To this hotel."

Xu Lin searched for a hotel on his phone and showed it to the driver.

"Alright! Buddy, sit tight!"

"Okay."

"Buddy, your accent sounds like you’re not a local, are you studying in the Capital City?"

"I’m here for a trip, sir."

This old man was quite enthusiastic, and using the Capital City dialect is like an older generation talking to you in their regional language, Xu Lin found it interesting, so he chatted with him. Xu Lin said he was here for a trip and asked about places worth visiting. The old man became even more enthusiastic and recommended over a dozen places.

Soon, Xu Lin arrived at the hotel.

He ordered lunch directly to his room from the hotel and didn’t go out.

At three in the afternoon, Xu Lin called Jiang Yu.

"Mr. Xu?"

"Mr. Jiang, I’ve arrived in the Capital City, when does the music scoring start?"

Xu Lin was straightforward.

"Haha, Mr. Xu, no rush today. By the way, Mr. Xu, do you have a place to stay?"

"Just checked into a hotel."

"That’s good, I was thinking of arranging a place for you."

Jiang Yu said: "Mr. Xu, how about dinner tonight?"

"Just the two of us?"

"No, there are a few others, like the director, producer, and a couple of leaders, etc."

"Ok."

To be honest, if it was just dinner with Jiang Yu alone, Xu Lin wouldn’t be interested; he felt no connection to Jiang Yu, so a meal between just two men would be utterly boring.

Xu Lin: "What time tonight? Where?"

Then Jiang Yu provided the time and location information.

After chatting for a few minutes, Xu Lin ended the conversation.

Jiang Yu is a man without substance, and chatting with him is indeed not interesting.

Currently, Xu Lin has a few friends like Yu Shengzhong and Ye Shengjun, these older men.

Though mostly for business interactions, Xu Lin genuinely gets along well with them.

Time passed to a little past four.

Since dinner time was set for seven in the evening, he’d need to leave early, including showering, of course.

Xu Lin is a clean-loving person.

After showering, Xu Lin changed into a black suit.

Xu Lin actually wanted to wear casual clothes, but he’s only eighteen, turning nineteen next month, so in the eyes of the middle-aged crowd, he’s just a young lad. A suit gives him a more mature appearance.

As for showing off his skill, that’s another matter; but undeniably, a suit can make him appear more mature.

Xu Lin didn’t want to be seen as a young lad by a bunch of older people.

Why older people? No doubt about it, in society, those who are successful or even slightly accomplished are generally at least in their thirties and forties; young achievers are rare.

A little past five, Xu Lin headed out.

Because the agreed-upon hotel was quite far, it’d take half an hour to get there by car, Xu Lin also had to consider the Capital City’s rush hour, thus had to leave early.

In the end, just as Xu Lin expected, there was a minor traffic jam, but fortunately, he arrived outside the hotel at 6:26.

Afterward, Xu Lin entered the hotel and took the elevator upstairs.

Eighth floor.

In the elevator, there were just two people.

Xu Lin and another woman.

A very beautiful woman, estimated to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, though there might be discrepancies.

Her hair was up, body exceptionally well-proportioned.

She wore professional attire; her upper half was a white shirt, a blazer draped on her left arm, carrying a bag, and below, a tight-fitting skirt, paired with heels below.

Xu Lin thought this outfit was quite tasteful.

The woman’s legs were attractive, round and firm hips, also her height was impressive.

Xu Lin looked at her heels, curious, he started calculating her height.

The heels seemed to be 8 cm high; since both stood on the same line parallel to the elevator door, judging from the shadow on the elevator door, Xu Lin, with shoes plus hair, stood at 194 cm, she was about 4 or 5 cm shorter, considering her pulled-up hairstyle and abundant hair, estimated hair height 4 cm.

The final calculation of her barefoot height: 177 or 178?

Amazingly tall.

Xu Lin prefers tall beauties, anyone under 170 cm wouldn’t catch his eye.

Besides, who is this woman?

A company white-collar worker?

Definitely not.

Because this woman had great charisma, even a touch of nobility, it’s impossible for an ordinary worker to possess such airs, unless from a wealthy background, where some might not lack money and just work to pass the time.
