"I was still hesitant about letting my daughter meet Lin Beichen so soon. Damn it, I was too naive." Wang Fugui almost slapped himself. He had almost ruined his daughter's marriage and caused her to miss out on a good husband. It was truly a sin.

Fortunately, there is still room for redemption.

Indeed, young people have their own ideas.

I shouldn't interfere too much; I should try my best to support my daughter's decision. Even if it fails in the end, I won't have any regrets. Yes, that's how it should be.

Wang Fugui figured it out.

……

After telling my baby daughter the good news.

Wang Ling gave her father a big hug with a beaming smile.

"I knew Dad loved me the most. Dad, how can I repay you in the future? How about letting your grandson take care of you in your old age and let you enjoy your later years in peace?" Wang Ling was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.

This is a joy that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

Wang Fugui had never seen his daughter so happy.

This was the first time in years he had seen her so happy, and seeing this, he couldn't help but feel gratified.

What bad intentions could a father possibly have?
I just hope my precious daughter is happy.

Once he reaches his position, he can get almost anything he wants.

Material comforts... he no longer cared; he cared more about his children's happiness. He was pleased with Wang Ling's flattery, because he also wanted to hold his grandson.

I've been wanting to urge them for a while.

But they held back.

Because he knew that pressuring someone to get married was useless.

The more you rush them, the more likely misunderstandings will arise.

This could lead to a breakdown in the father-daughter relationship.

There are precedents for this, and he takes them as a warning.

Besides, he also dislikes the men his daughter doesn't approve of; father and daughter are equally picky. Perhaps this is a case of birds of a feather flocking together—they both have this problem.

"No, no, no, you're a grown woman now."

“What kind of behavior is this, acting like this at such a young age? Your future boyfriend will be jealous, you know?” Wang Fugui laughed, without hugging his daughter back.

I've lived to this age.

He understands all the principles that he should understand.

My own precious daughter doesn't know how to avoid suspicion.

How could he not understand these basic principles of morality and shame?

"Oh dear, didn't I used to hug you all the time when you were little? You don't know how to do that now."

"How can your thinking be so conservative?"

"You know, in other places, hugging is considered a basic courtesy."

Faced with Wang Fugui's lecturing.

Wang Ling was rather dismissive.

She was speechless at the thought that her father would have such a mindset.

Logically speaking, his own father was a person of high status and power.

Why do people still hold such superficial views? It's really wrong.

“Yes, yes, I understand. Our Miss Wang Ling understands best. Whatever you say is right,” Wang Fugui replied.

He didn't argue with his beloved daughter.

Wang Ling was unhappy with her father's constant pampering.

Somewhat ungrateful, she actually said angrily:

"How could you say that? If you just blindly agree with me, how am I supposed to grow as a person?"

"If you make a mistake, just point it out."

"To avoid upsetting him in the future."

"I don't want to be a woman who makes a fuss over nothing."

Wang Ling spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.

That makes a lot of sense.

Wang Fugui was at a loss for words.

I never expected this spoiled little girl to have this side to her.

She actually realized she could do something wrong? Looks like she's really grown up.

Indeed, love is the easiest way to grow. I hope my daughter can get what she wants.

Don't have too high expectations.

"Lower your expectations; it's not a big deal if you fail."

Wang Fugui couldn't help but remind him.

As the saying goes, excessive joy can turn to sorrow! Perhaps my precious daughter is being too optimistic. Who can guarantee her success? It's best not to have too high expectations.

"I know, can't you say something nicer?"

“I understand that success is not guaranteed, but as long as I try my best, I will have no regrets even if I fail in the end. If we are not meant to be, then we are not meant to be, but now, I must try my best.” Wang Ling understood the meaning behind her father’s words.

Isn't it just because I'm afraid she might do something rash later?
Alas, I underestimated her after all; she's not that fragile.

Even if she failed, it wouldn't matter. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and she wasn't the kind of person who would stick to one thing. Wang Ling thought to herself, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the future was beckoning to her.

A bright future.

I'm here!
His inner joy was undisguised.

Her face was beaming with a smile that was comforting to behold.

Wang Fugui was overjoyed; he never expected his precious daughter to be so wonderful.
Ahem, so cute!
Compared to her previous willful and unreasonable behavior.

She is now more knowledgeable and reasonable.

It added a touch of elegance to her.

"The time is set for tonight; I've managed to get it for you."

"Don't waste this opportunity. But you only have half an hour, and time is precious," Wang Fugui reminded him again.

"It's important to be reserved during the first meeting."

"As a girl, you can't lack your own principles, otherwise he'll look down on you."

He's such a pitiful father.

At his age, he still has to worry about his daughter's marriage.

As someone who's been through it all, he naturally knows what to do.

How can I get the man to respect my daughter as much as possible?
Of course, he was overthinking it. He had his father as a powerful backer.

Who would dare to look down on his daughter? If it weren't for Wang Ling's excessively high expectations.

If she weren't so picky, his doorstep would have been worn down by suitors long ago.

"I understand, please stop talking, you're so long-winded."

"I've always been reserved, okay? When have I ever been that kind of casual person? You're so annoying." Wang Ling pouted slightly, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

She had actually considered taking the initiative.

But I also understand that these things can't be rushed.

Relationships need to be nurtured by both people over time.

Only in this way can it last forever.

Her father's words were a complete wake-up call for her.

She really lost her composure. In just a short while, she had already thought of names for her future children and even considered whether to move to another city with Lin Beichen, leaving her father at home and coming back to see him when she had time.

Having such a father by your side.

Lin Beichen will probably find it a little difficult to get used to, right?

After all, his father held a high position.

In just a few breaths, Wang Ling had already imagined all sorts of possibilities.

Wang Fugui probably doesn't know yet.

His own precious daughter was already plotting how to "abandon" him. If she knew what Wang Ling was thinking, she would probably burst into tears.

"A man you're interested in must have a lot of competition."
Zhao Xue once again accurately described Wang Ling's current predicament.

Whether it was a coincidence or a stroke of genius, I don't know.

Zhao Xue's prediction was accurate.

They perfectly assessed Wang Ling's current situation.

She and Lin Beichen are still completely unconnected; they've never even met. Under these circumstances, winning him over won't be easy.

Considering her best friend was indeed more skilled in this area than she was, Wang Ling finally told Zhao Xue about her situation. After listening, Zhao Xue couldn't help but smile, looking Wang Ling up and down, and said in a teasing tone:
"I thought you two had gotten together a long time ago."

"I just said a few random things, and you guessed everything correctly. You've really disappointed me."

Zhao Xue recalled Wang Ling's unruly nature in the past.

Wang Ling wasn't interested in just any man.

Now she's actually taken a liking to a man she's never even met.

This made Zhao Xue very curious. Who exactly was this person?
"Don't you dare try to take him. He's mine. If you dare steal my man, we're no longer sisters." Wang Ling glared fiercely at Zhao Xue, asserting her dominance. She was genuinely afraid her best friend would try to take advantage of her crush, and was particularly wary of Zhao Xue.

Perhaps it's because they are sisters.

Just as Zhao Xue understood her, she also understood Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue isn't as gentle as she seems on the surface; she's done her fair share of stealing men in the past. Of course, that was a long time ago, and she's reformed now. But as the old saying goes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

"What kind of look is that? Do we sisters really need to act like that?"

“I have indeed done some bad things, but when have I ever laid a hand on you?” Zhao Xue looked at Wang Ling with an expression that said, “Are you out of your mind?”

After hearing these words.

Wang Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She definitely seemed too nervous just now.

Indeed, just like my best friend said.

Zhao Xue has never made a move against her, but the key point is that she's never been in a relationship before. So she still needs to be vigilant.

Of course, it cannot be shown on the surface.

We're still good friends, and we can't let a few words cause a falling out.

"I know I was wrong, sister, please help me! What should I do to win him over?" Wang Ling tugged at Zhao Xue's sleeve, acting like a spoiled little girl. Seeing Wang Ling like this, Zhao Xue immediately lost her temper; she liked Wang Ling's naivety.

"Winning over this person will definitely not be easy."

"But you're not without a chance, after all, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

"Based on my guess, someone like him would never mess around once he has a girlfriend."

Zhao Xue said with absolute certainty.

"This is both bad news and good news for you."

“As long as you succeed, he’ll basically be yours. As long as you don’t do anything to betray him, it’ll be for life,” Zhao Xue analyzed logically.

Wang Ling listened attentively like a student.

……

Lin Beichen, on the other hand, was somewhat confused.

"Sigh, could it be that something good is happening and they want to invite you over alone?"

Yu Feng said sourly to Lin Beichen. He was wondering if Wang Fugui was going to give Lin Beichen special treatment, otherwise why would he call him alone? Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable, not because he was jealous of Lin Beichen.

But because.

He was thinking—don't I deserve special treatment?

It's one thing if Nora-suke, Zhou Tianliang, and the others can't enjoy this kind of treatment.

After all, one of them was an outsider, and the other was a newcomer who had just joined.

Zhang San had only recently joined, while he himself had gone through thick and thin with Brother Lin Beichen for so many years. Why couldn't he enjoy the same treatment as Brother Lin Beichen?!

"Stop guessing, I'll tell you later."

"As long as it's not some top-secret, confidential matter, I can tell you anything."

Lin Beichen waved his hand, signaling Yu Feng to stop making trouble.

Of all the people present, probably only Yu Feng dared to speak to Lin Beichen like that.

The others wouldn't dare tease Lin Beichen like that, after all, their relationship wasn't that close, not to the point where they could joke around without restraint. Actually, they were quite envious of Yu Feng; being able to befriend someone like Lin Beichen and become brothers was truly a blessing.

"Yeah, there's nothing to envy."

"Now I'm his ally, at least not his enemy anymore."

Norasuke thought to himself, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

Those high-ranking officials in Japan were utterly incompetent, daring to spread rumors that Lin Beichen was easy to deal with, nearly costing him his life. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese leadership still considered him useful, he would have been a much better candidate.
Ha ha,

By now, the grass on his grave must be three feet tall.

"Alright, stop making that mournful face."

"Going to collect the reward is clearly a good thing, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Lin Beichen laughed and cursed before turning and leaving.

Not only did Yu Feng's expression change,

The expressions of the other companions were also somewhat subtle.

This reminded Lin Beichen of a saying: "I fear my brother's hardship, yet I also fear his driving a Land Rover." Seeing their good brother achieve great success, some people are so jealous they could grind their teeth to dust. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

This kind of mentality is unacceptable.

True brotherhood
We should be happy for the other person's achievements.

This current behavior is nothing more than a facade of brotherhood.

……

After Lin Beichen left,
The group immediately began to discuss the matter.

Everyone was curious about the purpose of Lin Beichen's private meeting with Wang Fugui.

"Do you think they're going to get punished?"

“During the last operation in Shanmen Village, Brother Lin Beichen repeatedly acted on his own initiative without consulting his superiors.” Yu Feng’s words made people wonder if he was really Lin Beichen’s brother.

If Lin Beichen knew about his remarks, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

However, Yu Feng's guess was not unfounded.

Zhang San also felt that it made a lot of sense.

Having worked within the system for many years, he was well aware of the seriousness of disobeying orders and acting arbitrarily. Similar cases have been numerous throughout history, therefore he agreed with this assessment.

"That's certainly possible."

"I hope he's alright; after all, we're a team."

Zhang San rarely spoke like a human being.

Zhou Tianliang also nodded solemnly and said:
"He was indeed a bit impulsive at the time, but I fully support Brother Lin Beichen's decision. If the higher-ups want to punish him, I am willing to share the responsibility with him." These words of righteousness made Yu Feng feel ashamed.

Damn it, this guy is actually acting so righteous at a time like this.

Without comparison, there is no harm; this comparison, on the contrary, makes me look like a despicable person.

"Hmph, I was just saying that casually. If something really happens, I definitely won't stand idly by."

Yu Feng muttered to himself.

Norasuke watched him from the side with a half-smile.

Everyone was discussing Lin Beichen's situation, and most people were not optimistic about his future.

In truth, Lin Beichen himself was unsure about this meeting with Wang Fugui. He didn't think he deserved special praise, and the private meeting was likely a way to give him a warning.

This was probably intended to make him more cautious in his subsequent actions.

There will likely be no substantial punishment, but a verbal warning is probably inevitable.

With this in mind, Lin Beichen arrived at the agreed location. Upon seeing Wang Fugui, before he could speak, Wang Fugui said directly, "Don't be nervous. I've asked you to come here about some private matters. My daughter wants to see you."

"She has heard of your heroic deeds and admires you greatly."

"You could say I'm one of your little fans. You young people just love this idol-chasing thing." (End of Chapter)
