I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 286 The Richest Man's Instructions

After the noisy dinner party ended.

To avoid a repeat of the previous accident, Hua Hongshan drove herself this time and hired a designated driver to take her home.

She sat in the back of the BMW M3, where legroom was limited, staring blankly out the window.

This was her first time attending a business dinner, and she was quite nervous beforehand. She also felt somewhat out of place at the table with everyone else.

She didn't have Qian Hui's ability to navigate social situations skillfully, and she was tired of having to beg for favors. So, when faced with Xiao Xun's repeated toasts, she simply passively endured them.

This time, Qingque was asking for a favor. She knew Xiao Xun had no ulterior motives, but she could only greet him with a smile.

She never dared to hope that Qingque could win over the owners of these sports venues and get them to genuinely promote Qingque through just one meal.

However, now those bosses are all patting their chests and guaranteeing that they will fully cooperate with Qingque's promotion tomorrow.

—And they don't charge an extra penny.

She wasn't the one who made this happen; it was her partner, Wei Lin!
Through their time together, she had come to realize Wei Lin's extraordinary qualities and guessed that he had certain connections in Linjiang City.

But she still didn't expect that Wei Lin could actually win over all these seasoned veterans of the sports venues with just a simple meal.

Xu Chuan, exuding a worldly air; Qian Hui, driven by profit; Xiao Xun, brimming with lewd schemes; and Zhou Xiang, unaware of her own limitations.

When dealing with these people, she was always on the defensive, and she couldn't even stand up straight during the conversation.

If Qingque didn't have Wei Lin and only had herself, with her social skills, she probably wouldn't be able to handle any of them and get them to willingly help her.

But Wei Lin did it!

“Wei Lin…”

Hua Hongshan couldn't help but compare Wei Lin to her own father, Hua Xing.

The idols that little girls admire in their early years are most likely their own fathers, and Hua Hongshan is no exception.

In her mind, her father was a tall and mighty figure who started Laiyi from scratch and built it to its current scale. He was once a prominent figure in Linjiang City.

Although Lai is not as successful as before, she is still one of the benchmarks in the apparel industry, and her father is still in a high position.

When Qingque encountered sales difficulties, her father, Huaxing, offered many suggestions, which she adopted one by one and implemented according to Huaxing's advice.

However, Qingque did not escape the predicament of not being able to open up sales, and it was still as difficult as before.

Gradually, she began to act independently and no longer listened to her father's advice.

She wanted to build Qingque on her own, but after struggling for a while, she realized that she couldn't do it either.

Because of disagreements with her father, their relationship deteriorated, and they often argued.

It was Wei Lin's appearance that turned Qing Que's predicament around, giving her and everyone in Qing Que hope.

Today, Wei Lin gave her another glimmer of hope!
She suddenly realized that Wei Lin, who was much younger than her father, seemed to be even more outstanding in terms of personal ability.

The father couldn't get Qingque out of her predicament, but Wei Lin did.

Even if the person who hosted today's meal had been her father, Hua Xing, instead of Wei Lin, it might not have had such an extraordinary effect!

"From now on, Wei Lin will be Qing Que's greatest support and a reliable backer who can put my mind at ease."

Hua Hongshan thought to herself.

"Drip drip!"

Her phone beeped with a message notification. She opened it and her bright eyes widened in surprise.

Several other sports venue owners who had signed cooperation agreements with Qingque but didn't have time to attend the meeting that evening sent messages one after another.

The content is largely the same.

Those people all agreed not to charge Qingque any extra money, and would fully cooperate with Qingque's promotion, arranging for their coaches to recommend Qingque's products.

Hua Hongshan only had their contact information, which Jiang Ze had previously handled, and she hadn't had a chance to meet them yet.

Originally, she planned to visit them one by one tomorrow after tonight's dinner party, trying her best to persuade them to help.

Before she could wait until tomorrow, the well-informed sports venue owners gave her a clear answer, all saying they were willing to spare no effort in promoting Qingque.

"Humans are such pragmatic creatures."

Hua Hongshan was deeply moved.

……

We're both on our way home.

In the back seat of the Land Cruiser, Wei Lin put down his phone and smiled calmly.

The message came from Hua Hongshan, saying that the owners of the remaining sports venues had all proactively sent messages expressing their willingness to help promote Qingque.

This dinner party was a resounding success.

Xu Chuan was won over through Ma Yungui and Hong Mo, Zhou Xiang through Zhou Rong, and most of the rest were won over because Han Jie came over.

A person's reputation precedes them; the son of this richest man only came over and said a few words to him, yet indirectly helped him solve many problems.

This made Wei Lin deeply realize the importance of strength. At present, in the eyes of outsiders, Xinlin is just a small company with a small scale, and Qingque has only just begun to make a name for itself, so it cannot bring him much status.

Those people were willing to give up a small portion of their interests and respond to Qingque's promotion because he relied on external forces.

Ma Yungui, Hong Mo, Zhou Rong, Han Jie.

Especially with Han Jie's arrival!

If Xinlin's assets are substantial enough, and if Wei Lin's reputation is prestigious, he only needs to reveal his identity at the dinner table, and many problems can be easily resolved.

Qingque has already signed agreements and contracts with these sports venues and has paid them.

Request these sports venues to change the location of their billboards. Talk to the coaches below; it's the kind of thing that can be charged separately or not.

If he has a high enough status, people who want to continue doing business with him in the future will naturally not care about the money.

Otherwise, they would be meticulous about every single penny.

"It's because I don't have enough money or enough strength, so I have to rely on external forces."

Wei Lin chuckled softly.

He secretly resolved to make Xinlin and Qingque bigger and stronger, so that they would be a household name in Linjiang City and become a company that every local boss would give a thumbs up to.

Only in this way will everyone respect and look at him with new eyes when he talks about Xinlin and Qingque in the future.

……

In the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Han Jie took on the role of driver.

"Xiao Jie, is the Wei Lin that Mayor Mu mentioned the one you helped Qin Wei get medicine from?"

Han Yuantu sat in the back seat, watching his son drive steadily, a look of gratified satisfaction on his face. He asked, "Did you see him in his private room?"

He was quite satisfied with his son, and was preparing to hand over the vast family business to him.

During dinner, Mu Qingshan suddenly brought up Wei Lin, suggesting that he give the younger generation a chance to mentor him, which left Wei Lin completely bewildered.

While he was still wondering who Wei Lin was, his son Han Jie chimed in, saying that he and Wei Lin were friends and that Mu Qingshan could rest assured.

Mu Qingshan nodded with a smile and praised Han Jie as a good kid.

Han Yuantu immediately realized that Mu Qingshan, while seemingly talking about Wei Lin, actually knew that the one who truly knew Wei Lin was his son, Han Jie.

"I saw him. I told him that Mayor Mu specifically asked you to take care of him, Dad."

As Han Jie drove, he pondered his words: "Dad, my contact with Wei Lin was because of Dai Yixuan from Tianxuan Cosmetics. She came to our Linjiang City before the New Year. She first had dinner alone with Wei Lin, and then came to my teahouse for a while."

Han Jie recounted his meeting with Wei Lin, as well as the disputes between Wei Lin and Yuan Xuebing from the Environmental Protection Bureau, Dong Tian from the Fire Department, and Tong Jianlin, one by one.

“Wei Lin’s methods are ruthless; he’s willing to use anything to achieve his goals, but the fault doesn’t lie with him.”

Han Jie concluded.

"It was indeed a bit extreme. There was a more gentle way to resolve the issue. Since he knows Ma Yungui, Zhao Fulong, and even Zhu Jun, he could easily resolve the matter without offending anyone by simply asking them for a word. There was no need to strain the relationships so much." Han Yuantu nodded slightly.

He knew his son well. If Han Jie were replaced by Wei Lin, Han Jie could avoid offending Yuan Xuebing and Tong Jianlin, and even take the opportunity to get in touch with them and establish good relationships.

At certain specific times, these people might still come in handy and be able to help with something.

"Dad, I can handle things properly without offending anyone," Han Jie sighed softly, "but I'll feel uneasy and resentful. If I weren't your son, and it was someone like Director Yuan who harassed my girlfriend, I would have done the same thing as Wei Lin!"

“Dad, it’s precisely because I’m in this position that I have too many things to consider that I won’t do what Wei Lin did.”

"I can handle it, but I'll be unhappy."

"One thing I admire about Wei Lin is that he can do what he wants to do without any worries and is not afraid to bear any consequences."

"But I can't."

Han Jie said quietly.

"In your position, you should fulfill your duties, assume your responsibilities, and do your best. You two started at different points, so remember to always consider the big picture and not act impulsively."

Han Yuantu gave a mild reprimand.

Han Jie gave a bitter smile and nodded, saying, "I understand."

"Since Mayor Mu specifically mentioned this to me, you should get closer to Wei Lin in the future. If there are suitable project opportunities, it wouldn't hurt to work together on some things," Han Yuantu added.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Was it really Wei Lin who helped Ma Yungui in having a son late in life?"

Han Jie said, "That's what everyone's saying, and Wei Lin himself has admitted it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Qin Wei to personally make a trip to Linjiang to ask him for medicine."

"Is there really any hope for Qin Wei?" Han Yuantu asked.

"Don't even mention me, Wei Lin himself said he couldn't guarantee it." Han Jie looked ahead, gently turned the steering wheel, and slowly made the turn, saying, "If Qin Wei's wife is really pregnant, he will remember this favor forever."

“It’s not just him. His father and grandfather will remember Wei Lin,” Han Yuantu said.
