Chapter 31 - So rude!

31: 31 So rude!

31: 31 So rude!

Zhao Family Estate.

Lin Luoluo, Lin Wanhao, and Zhou Yu were waiting in the reception room.

Originally, it was only supposed to be Lin Luoluo and Zhou Yu coming, but Lin Wanhao insisted on following, claiming he wanted to personally make amends for the mistake.

At that moment, the father and daughter were restless and extremely anxious, truly without a clue in their hearts.

Zhou Yu, however, was leisurely drinking tea on the side.

Before long, Zhao Heng came out.

Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo quickly stood up.

“Uncle Zhao, about that incident, it was our Lin Family’s fault, and I have specifically come to apologize,” said Lin Luoluo.

“Mr.

Zhao, it was mainly my fault.” Lin Wanhao hung his head low, like a child who had done something wrong.

Zhao Heng did not pay attention to the two of them, instead turning his gaze towards Zhou Yu.

Actually, the matter could be made into a big deal or a small one.

It mainly depended on Zhou Yu’s opinion.

The Zhao Family only cared about Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said with a faint smile:

“Mr.

Zhao, this matter should not be a big deal for the Zhao Family.”

As soon as Zhou Yu spoke, Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo immediately felt their anxious hearts jump to their throats.

How could Zhou Yu speak to Zhao Heng like that?

It was so impolite.

What if it angered Zhao Heng?

However, Zhao Heng’s next words left Lin Wanhao and his daughter utterly dumbfounded.

Zhao Heng said with a smile:

“Of course, it indeed is not a big deal.”

The words of Zhao Heng were astonishingly in step with Zhou Yu’s.

This!!!

Lin Wanhao and his daughter were dumbstruck.

Lin Wanhao swallowed reflexively.

“Mr.

Zhao, that…

about the project in the provincial city?”

“It will still be handled by your Lin Family.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanhao almost knelt down.

“Thank you so much, Mr.

Zhao, thank you very much…”

Zhao Heng waved his hand dismissively.

“No need for such.”

“But in the future, make sure not to do such a thing again.”

“Yes, yes, yes…

I remember, I promise there won’t be a next time,” Lin Wanhao said, moved to a mess.

Lin Wanhao and his daughter no longer remembered how they left the Zhao family’s home.

Everything that happened at the Zhao estate was like a dream.

Meanwhile, at the Huang Family villa.

Huang Zongsheng and You Wan were drinking tea together.

Huang Zongsheng said with a chuckle:

“Brother You, I owe you one this time for providing the information; otherwise, I would have been in the dark about the Lin Family getting the provincial city project ahead of time.”

You Wan emptied the tea from his cup with one gulp, then said with a smile:

“Brother Huang, we have had pleasant cooperation over the years.

Naturally, I will inform you of any news.”

“However, speaking of which, don’t you find it strange how the Lin Family got the project?”

Huang Zongsheng waved his hand, saying with disdain:

“They must have paid a hefty price to pull some strings.

Their actions are nothing but a desperate struggle.

I’ve already had people leak this matter; unless the Zhao Family is utterly resolved to back the Lin Family, the project is doomed to fail.”

Ding—

Right then, the phone on the side suddenly rang.

Huang Zongsheng casually picked up the call, but before he could speak, a cold voice came through from the other end.

“Huang Zongsheng, I’m Mr.

Zhao’s secretary.

Mr.

Zhao asked me to relay a message: retract the information on the internet immediately, or bear the consequences.”

Huang Zongsheng’s face changed.

“What are you talking about?

I don’t know anything.”

“Huang Zongsheng, don’t play dumb.

Mr.

Zhao expects to see results within an hour, or you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

After finishing, the secretary hung up the phone.

Bang!

Huang Zongsheng slammed the phone down on the table.

You Wan quickly inquired:

“Brother Huang, what’s wrong?”

Huang Zongsheng’s face was ashen.

“I have underestimated the relationship between the Lin Family and the Zhao Family.

I didn’t expect the Lin Family to have the ability to secure such protection from the Zhao Family.

It’s truly absurd.”

You Wan also appeared gravely concerned.

Everyone knew that although the Zongsheng Group was a top power in the Yancheng business world, wealth should never contend with official influence.

The Zhao Family’s influence sprawled across the province; if they wanted to suppress the Zongsheng Group, it would be an effortless endeavor.

“Brother Huang, does this mean the Lin Family is untouchable?”

In Huang Zongsheng’s eyes, a cold light flickered.

“Untouchable?

What a joke!

Thinking they are untouchable because of the Zhao Family’s protection?

I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve,” said Huang Zongsheng.

“Brother Huang, are you really planning to go against the Zhao Family?” You Wan exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course not.”

A cold glint flashed in Huang Zongsheng’s eyes.

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the call connected.

“Yang Hao, I can’t wait any longer.

I want you to take action right now.

Within half a month, squeeze the Lin Family out of Lin’s Group.

Whatever help you need, you can tell me now,” he said.

Yang Hao burst into a smile upon hearing this.

“President Huang, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.”

“I’ve heard that you are quite familiar with Deputy Fire Chief Liu Mingyuan.

Just introduce me to him, and that’ll suffice.”

“Who?”

“Alright, no problem,” Huang Zongsheng agreed immediately.

“President Huang is decisive.

Now, just wait for my good news,” said Yang Hao cheerfully.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Zongsheng sneered:

“Just wait and see.

Lin’s Group is about to experience a sea change.”

You Wan laughed heartily.

“Brother Huang, it looks like you’ve had a plan for a long time.”

“Naturally.”

At the Lin Family villa.

Lin Wanhao and the other two had returned from the Zhao Family’s estate.

“Dad, that’s how it is.

Mr.

Zhao didn’t make it difficult for us.

He still let our Lin Family continue with the project.”

Lin Chaodong breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly:

“We must take this incident as a warning and ensure that it never happens again.”

“Dad, I’ve learned my lesson.”

“Grandpa, I’ve remembered it, too.”

Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo assured in unison.

Lin Chaodong nodded.

“Alright, we owe a lot to Xiaoyu this time.

If it hadn’t been for him, this project would have been completely disconnected from the Lin Family.”

“You haven’t even thanked Xiaoyu yet.”

Thank Zhou Yu?

Deep down, Lin Wanhao didn’t agree with the elder’s words.

It’s true he had made a mistake, but that was only because he had a moment of confusion, which You Wan took advantage of.

And Zhou Yu, he simply didn’t take Lin Family’s matters seriously, which is why he had a clear view as an outsider.

He didn’t deserve any credit for it.

However, not wanting to irritate the elder, Lin Wanhao still said:

“Zhou Yu, I was wrong about what happened this time.

Please be more tolerant of me.”

“Uncle Lin, we are family.

No worries,” Zhou Yu replied with a smile.

“Alright, we’ve been busy all day.

Luoluo, you and Xiaoyu should head up to rest now,” Lin Chaodong said.

Lin Luoluo nodded.

“Grandpa, you should rest early too,” she said.

Then she and Zhou Yu returned to their bedroom.

As soon as they got into the bedroom, Zhou Yu went straight to the balcony.

“Hey, wait a second,” Lin Luoluo called out.

“Hm?

What’s up?” Zhou Yu turned around.

“Thank you for what you did today,” Lin Luoluo said stiffly.

Wow!

This beautiful wife was finally showing him some kindness for the first time.

It was worth all his efforts.

Zhou Yu teased, “Oh?

That’s your way of thanking me?

Doesn’t seem very sincere.”

Lin Luoluo frowned.

“What do you mean?

What else do you want?”

“Don’t forget, I haven’t settled the score with you for agreeing to collect the payment from Yang Hao on your own authority today.”

“I warn you, in the company, you are not allowed to make decisions without my permission.”

Zhou Yu looked speechless.

“Are you thanking me or trying to take the opportunity to lecture me?”

“I…” Lin Luoluo was at a loss for words.

“Forget it, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to rest,” Zhou Yu said, and walked out.

Lin Luoluo stamped her foot in frustration.

“This guy is too much,” she muttered.

“If you dare, just keep sleeping on the balcony.”
