The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Serene as a Flower Mirrored in Water

The banquet began punctually at six o'clock.

Dressed in a crisp suit, Lin Fan accompanied County Magistrate Luan to the event.

Once the city leaders had left, he naturally becthe most senior figure remaining. Thus, he was the prime

target for investors, but the attention towards Lin Fan was not any less intense. People handed him their

business cards, hoping to seize the opportunity to network. Lin Fan simply maintained a smile throughout.

Since it was a cold dinner party, everyone either held a glass of red wine or champagne, milling about and

sharing their insights on various upcoming inspection routes.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, Lin Fan quickly grabbed a champagne glass

and made his way to the buffet table. He hadn't eaten his fill at lunch with Zhu Defu, and the afternoon’s

exertions with Bai Xue had left him genuinely hungry.

Thus, he grabbed several pastries and dishes and slipped away to an unobserved corner to tuck in ravenously.

Just as Lin Fan was enjoying his meal, a figure in a red dress appeared before him—it was none other than the

Cultural Troupe’s pillar, who performed the Peacock Dance in the city.

"Mayor Lin, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The fiery red dress, destined to be the center of attention in the hall, hinted at a face as delicate and graceful as

Lin Daiyu. Her fair skin seemed almost breakable by a blow, her cheeks slightly flushed like newly blossomed

peach flowers, as if the Goddess herself had stepped out of a painting, mesmerizing all with her beauty.

Her shoulders were softly rounded, carrying a cool elegance, and the partial reveal of her cleavage traced

appealing curves. Her pert behind suggested endless temptation, and her long hair, soft as a waterfall, fell

gently upon her shoulders. Light curls at the ends added a touch of flirtatiousness, and her tall figure was even

more slender in the evening dress, setting off a willowy waist that seemed as if it might break with a gentle

embrace.

She wore high heels, and black stockings encased her long legs, exuding a mysterious charm. Holding a glass of

champagne in her hand, the graceful lift of her wrist showed off her poise and elegance.

"Sorry, | just had a brief meeting with the county leaders to discuss upcoming matters, so | got a bit hungry."

Lin Fan awkwardly looked at the strikingly beautiful woman before him but didn’t know her name.

"No wonder I've been waiting and waiting but haven't seen you add my WeChat. | thought Mayor Lin was being

so arrogant."

The woman laughed, extending her jade-like hand, "I'm Yao Wan Jiao. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Yao Wan Jiao... Your Peacock Dance was very well performed, and when you mentioned adding WeChat earlier..."

Lin Fan took Yao Wan Jiao’s slightly cool hand but didn’t understand her meaning.

"I've already written my phone number on the back of the photo; you didn’t just throw it away, did you?"

Yao Wan Jiao pouted, her eyes full of a plaintive look that was truly heart-tugging.

"No, of course not... | put it directly into my bag and didn’t have the chance to see it because of the meeting."

Lin Fan quickly shook his head; he indeed hadn't noticed the back of the photo.

"That's good. | knew Mayor Lin wouldn't be so heartless. I'll wait for your friend request then."

Yao Wan Jiao smiled, raising her glass of champagne, "I hope Mayor Lin doesn’t considerfrivolous. This is the

first tin my life I've taken the initiative to give someone my contact details. | just think your comments are

so full of wit; verses flow from your mouth effortlessly and are absolutely beautiful, ‘In all of eternity, no absolute

beauty, pleasing to the eyes is the fair lady; a nation-toppling look, astonishing all, truly a beauty to behold."

This incident occurred right after Bai Xue finished her dance, and during a random interview by the host, Lin Fan

spontaneously composed a poem, winning the admiration of the audience.

"That's merely the wisdom of the ancients; | just borrowed a verse from our forefathers. You flattertoo much

—I am quite unworthy."

Lin Fan smiled awkwardly; after all, the poem was specially meant for Bai Xue, yet it had moved someone else.

"That's because Mayor Lin has true talents and learning. | really hope you could compose a poem for me, too."

Yao Wan Jiao looked at Lin Fan, her eyes full of admiration.

"That's... letthink..."

Having received such praise, Lin Fan couldn't possibly refuse. After a pause, he said, "With beauty and charm,

you stand apart; like autumn water, pure and fine, a snowy symbol. As serene as a flower’s reflection on still

water, and as graceful as willows swayed by a breeze, how about that?"

"Great poetry, how beautiful, thank you for the compliment, Mayor Lin."

The praise turned Yao Wan Jiao’s cheeks a beautiful shade of red, "I won't disturb Mayor Lin any further... Let's

chat on the phone when you're free."

"Okay, I'll add you in a bit."

Lin Fan smiled and clinked his glass with Yao Wan Jiao, watching her graceful figure as she departed. It had to be

said that this beauty truly carried herself with an effortless elegance. Just exchanging a few words with her had

been delightful.

However, as he prepared to continue eating, Lin Fan noticed Ke Yunan glaring at him from a distance. Her look

clearly expressed dissatisfaction with him. Just as Lin Fan was preparing to explain, he saw Lucki, holding two

glasses of wine, walking towards Ke Yunan.

Judging from the mischievous smile on his face, the wine he held must have been tampered with. This man was

indeed planning to drug Ke Yunan, an absolute scoundrel.
