Chapter 29 - Persuasion!

While the Lin Family Corporation was holding a shareholder meeting, elsewhere, Wanhao drove to the You Family villa.

“Please inform Old Master You that Wanhao from the Lin Family has specially come to express his gratitude.”

“Please wait a moment.”

The security guard at the entrance turned and walked inside.

In the living room, You Wan looked surprised.

“The Lin Family has come to express their gratitude?”

“Yes, that’s what the visitor said.”

You Wan muttered to himself:

“What is the Lin Family up to, addicted to playing the fool?”

After pondering for a moment.

“You go, let him in.

I want to see what exactly the Lin Family is up to?”

“Yes, sir.”

Soon, Wanhao was led into the You Family villa.

Upon seeing You Wan, Wanhao quickly walked up to him.

“Old Master You, the junior has come to disturb you again.”

You Wan chuckled:

“You must be Brother Lin’s son, truly a case of ‘like father, like son’.”

“Old Master You, you flatter me.”

“I heard from the servant that you came to express thanks?”

Wanhao quickly took out a brocade box over a meter long.

“This is a copy of the Diamond Sutra handwritten by Master Hongyi, specially for you, Old Master You.”

You Wan’s eyes widened.

“Master Hongyi?

Open it quickly, let me see.”

Wanhao hurriedly opened the brocade box and took out the scroll inside.

You Wan excitedly touched the characters on the scroll, repeatedly exclaiming in admiration.

“What a treasure, what a treasure.”

“The Lin Family bringing such a generous gift, surely you want me to do something?

Just say it outright.”

Wanhao quickly waved his hands:

“Old Master You, this gift is merely to express our gratitude for your help in securing the Yancheng Subway Line No.

10 project for the Lin Family.

I was worried you wouldn’t like it; I am glad you do.”

You Wan was startled.

“The Yancheng Subway Line No.

10 project?”

“Yes, thanks to your good word with the Zhao Family, they agreed to give the project directly to our Lin Family.”

“When did this happen?” You Wan was shocked internally, but maintained his composure.

“It was right after the Zhao Family’s banquet ended yesterday, Mr.

Zhao Heng personally told me.”

Wanhao, oblivious to You Wan’s changing expression, continued excitedly.

You Wan’s eyes flickered, but he soon regained his composure.

“These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning.”

Wanhao complimented:

“It might be trivial in front of Old Master You, but this is a significant matter for our Lin Family.”

“Then your Lin Family should grasp this opportunity well.

If you’re ever short on funds, just speak up.

My You Family’s commercial bank can provide a loan for you.”

Wanhao was overjoyed: “Thank you, Old Master You.”

After chatting for a few more minutes, Wanhao took his leave.

You Wan’s face turned cold, and he took out his mobile phone to call Huang Zongsheng.

“Director Huang, there’s bad news about that project in the city…”

After work in the afternoon, Zhou Yu and Lin Luoluo returned to the villa together.

Before they even entered, they heard Wanhao’s laughter coming from inside the villa.

Upon entering, they saw Wanhao and Chaodong drinking, with Wanhao’s face flushed red.

“Dad, what’s the occasion?

So happy that you even started drinking?”

“Haha, Luoluo, you’re back just in time.

Today, I visited Old Master You’s home.”

“Old Master You was very pleased with the gift I prepared, and he even said that if our family needs money for projects in the future, he can help us.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Luoluo also showed a surprised expression.

“The You Family has deep influence in the Yancheng Commercial Bank, and if they’re willing to help, then our project in the city will be even more secure.

This is indeed good news.”

At this moment, Zhou Yu frowned.

“Uncle Lin, does this mean you told the You Family about the project?”

Wanhao, who had been all smiles, suddenly looked stern.

“This is something they helped with, how’s there an issue with telling Old Master You?”

“Hmph, if you start doubting Old Master You because of your nonsense, the Lin Family would offend the You Family this time.

Really, I don’t know what’s on your mind?”

“Uncle Lin, this might lead to problems,” Zhou Yu remarked, despite Wanhao’s harsh mockery.

“Shut your mouth!” Wanhao snapped, “You have no say here.”

Chaodong frowned.

“Wanhao, Zhou Yu is also looking out for the Lin Family’s best interest.

It’s always good to be cautious.”

“Father, you’re too protective of this kid.

If you keep this up, sooner or later, he will ruin our family’s big opportunities.”

Wanhao blurted out the frustrations he had been harboring for days, fueled by alcohol.

Ring—

Just then, Wanhao’s phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, his spirits lifting instantly, and gestured for silence.

“It’s Mr.

Zhao.”

He answered the call and put it on speaker.

“Mr.

Zhao, this is Wanhao Lin…”

“Mr.

Lin, regarding the Yancheng Subway project, I repeatedly instructed you to keep it confidential until after the bidding was over.

What are you doing?

Why has news about it already appeared online?”

“Does your Lin Family still want to undertake this project?”
