I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 309 Huang Xingzhi finally gave in.
The two brands, "Lin" and "Nimo," one representing good and the other evil, are both currently selling quite well.

Especially the "Reverse Demon"!
Because Li Qinling's popularity hasn't faded yet, because of the strong promotion of that song "Light and Spirited", and because the brand is indeed favored by a niche group of people, "Nimo" has always sold much better than "Lin".

Now is a crucial period for "Nimo" to gain momentum. If the market is flooded with shoddy products, it will greatly affect the positive image of the "Nimo" brand.

Xinlin's biggest profit drivers are the "Lin" and "Nimo" brands, with "Nimo" contributing more!

Having tasted success with "Reverse Demon," Lao An was determined not to allow someone like Zhong Xiaowei to sabotage the "Reverse Demon" brand behind his back.

Therefore, he plans to handle it personally.

"There's no time to lose, I'll set off right away! I've already figured out all the townships and areas where Fatty Zhong distributes his goods, I can catch him every time!"

An Yuntian shouted.

"Uncle An".

Wei Lin called out to him, his mind flashing with one brilliant idea after another.

"What else?"

An Yuntian said strangely.

"Before you go, bring some genuine hats made with our embroidery machines, a few of each style."

Wei Lin pondered for a moment, his mind quickly clearing up, feeling that his brain was working exceptionally well now.

“No matter what workshop or factory Zhong Xiaowei commissioned to produce them, go to the supermarkets and hypermarkets in those towns and buy some hats from our ‘Reverse Demon’ brand and treat yourself as a consumer.”

"Then, go directly to the seller and tell them that you bought counterfeit goods. Keep the invoice and other evidence, and call the local industry and commerce department on the spot to handle it."

"Whether it's true or false, who knows better than you?"

"Let's have the local industry and commerce department investigate the vendors selling these products immediately; they'll find out right away!"

“Those who knowingly sell counterfeit goods, especially those with egregious circumstances, can be sentenced to up to three years in prison! Those merchants certainly wouldn’t dare admit that they are selling counterfeit goods; they would only say that they were unaware of it.”

"Don't worry, they will definitely implicate Zhong Xiaowei and say that they were deceived by Zhong Xiaowei."

“If we investigate as if we were consumers, we’ll trace it back one by one, and sooner or later we’ll find Zhong Xiaowei!”

"Fatty Zhong can't escape!"

Wei Lin grinned and took a light sip.

An Yuntian slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! We don't need to investigate who Fatty Zhong commissioned. As long as we follow your method and keep investigating, we can find out the mastermind behind it all!"

At this moment, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Wei Lin was clearly filled with more excitement and respect.

Over the years, he has been cooperating with various OEM manufacturers, and he has only been working on his own brand for the past six months. He has no experience in dealing with the counterfeiting of "Nimo".

There are currently no professionals in this field within Xinlin, which is why he is like a headless fly, unable to find the best solution.

He had assumed that Wei Lin was like him.

Unexpectedly, in a very short time, Wei Lin first determined that Zhong Xiaowei had found other workshops and OEM factories, and then provided a reasonable and efficient solution.

After hearing Wei Lin's words, he knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the matter would be resolved quickly.

Before long, it won't be him who's in a complete mess, but Zhong Xiaowei.

"Go, Uncle An, and finish this quickly."

Wei Lin smiled.

……

In Guanyun County, which is more than 400 kilometers away from Linjiang City, rows of single-story houses stand side by side.

Each house is a small workshop specializing in the production of all kinds of counterfeit products, including but not limited to hats and various types of clothing.

In one of the larger houses.

A dozen or so workers are operating old sewing and embroidery machines, producing hats for the "Demon Reversal".

The design drawings, brand trademarks, and the required craftsmanship were all discussed by Zhong Xiaowei in person with Tong Li, the small business owner of the workshop, to ensure that the products would not be easily identified as counterfeit.

"Mr. Zhong, our workshop is too small, I'm afraid we can't handle the workload."

Tong Li and Zhong Xiaowei arrived outside the house. Tong Li said, "I really don't have the capacity for 30,000 orders. I need to get a few more relatives to do it."

"Can you trust your relatives?" Zhong Xiaowei asked, smoking a cigarette.

"I can definitely trust him!"

Tong Li smiled smugly, not bothering to hide anything in his own territory, and said, "Our Guanyun County is located in a relatively remote area, and everyone does the same thing. The government departments are actually aware of this, knowing that we are just trying to make a living, so they won't interfere too much."

“We’re all from the same neighborhood, we know each other well, no one would gossip about it.”

"Besides, whatever we say is within our Guanyun County, and it won't get out."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhong. We've been in this business for so many years, nothing will go wrong."

Tong Li said.

The industry rule in Guanyun County is that everyone should make money together. When others are too busy with large orders, they will also hand them over to him.

The situation is the same for him. Zhong Xiaowei's orders are too large, and relying on his few small workshops, he simply cannot deliver within the stipulated time. He can only find close relatives to help with the work.

"What if they really trace it back to your side?" Zhong Xiao asked, frowning slightly.

Tong Li chuckled and said, "We have people looking out for us in Guanyun County. As soon as we get the news, we'll clean things up immediately. Let them come and investigate; they won't find anything. The county government's tax revenue depends on small workshops like ours; they can't really do anything to us."

Zhong Xiaowei took another deep drag on her cigarette and said, "Just don't betray me or implicate me!"

Tong Li assured him, "Definitely!"

……

That night.

Huang Xingzhi hosted the dinner and specially invited Wei Lin, Zhao Yuanqing, and Qian Zixu to dine together at Xiang Palace, another upscale restaurant in Linjiang City.

Zhao Yuanqing then called Huo Shiqi, so apart from Wei Lin, the whole table was filled with rich kids.

"Wei Lin, come on, let's have a drink! This time, let's just have a little something to drink!"

Before the hot dishes were even served, Huang Xingzhi stood up, raised his glass, and said, "We all run businesses in Linjiang City, and we're all good friends with Yuan Qing. Let's look out for each other in the future."

Wei Lin laughed and said, "Brother Huang, you are a magnanimous man. I should be the one to toast you!"

“We don’t have any conflict of interest. It’s just a trivial matter. Let bygones be bygones.” Huang Xingzhi was very magnanimous and never mentioned the past grievances between them because of Shen Yanfei again. He then drank his wine in one gulp.

Wei Lin finished his drink and said, "Brother Huang is so generous!"

Huo Shiqi looked at the two of them with a smile, and suddenly said, "Brother Daoyuan told me something yesterday."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her with curiosity.

Her bright eyes fell on Wei Lin's face, and she said with a smile, "Brother Wei is really amazing. He has all sorts of connections in Jinling City. Brother Daoyuan told me everything. If it weren't for your help, he might not be able to come back to Linjiang right now."

Wei Lin was taken aback, not expecting that Zhuang Daoyuan would tell her about this.

"What's going on?" Qian Zixu asked.

They knew Qi Feng's background very well. Why would someone as shrewd and resourceful as Zhuang Dasheng need to ask Wei Lin to step in and handle his son's troubles?

Does Wei Lin have such a powerful network of connections? And are they even in Jinling City?

"Brother Daoyuan was playing in Jinling City when he accidentally bumped into a metal plate and got detained..."

Huo Shiqi knew everything clearly. She recounted the whole story in detail, then exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Wei found someone in Jinling City to accompany Uncle Zhuang and Sister Qing to that abandoned ship cabin. Hehe, I also heard that Brother Wei had a friend prepare one million in cash, but the other party refused to accept the money!"

"The person who kidnapped Brother Daoyuan is called Dou San. He's a very capable man with many fearless brothers under his command."

"Brother Wei, you're really brave!"

Huo Shiqi praised him repeatedly, and the way she looked at Wei Lin was as if she were looking at a hero in her heart.

Huang Xingzhi and Qian Zixu were involved in the conflict with Wei Lin at her club, and she was one of the parties involved.

The little girl was very clever and knew the deeper meaning behind Huang Xingzhi's invitation to dinner today. She deliberately brought up Zhuang Daoyuan's matter to give Huang Xingzhi a hint.

Upon hearing this, Qian Zixu was the first to give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Huang Xingzhi was stunned for a moment before sighing, "Wei Lin, I am indeed not as good as you. If it were me, I would never have the courage to negotiate with those guys who live on the edge."

At that moment, he was completely convinced of Wei Lin's abilities.

He initially thought that Zhao Yuanqing, that bastard, was biased in his relationship with Wei Lin, and that Zhao Yuanqing was more inclined to side with Wei Lin.

They were all friends, but Zhao Yuanqing's constant favoritism towards Wei Lin made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Now, as he gets to know Wei Lin better, he gradually realizes that if he really gets into a major conflict with Wei Lin, he will definitely be the one who suffers in the end.

His elders were all honest businessmen who rarely interacted with the shady characters in society, and he didn't know any such people.

Wei Lin's social circle is so mixed up. How can he possibly gain any advantage by fighting with someone like Wei Lin?
"Wei Lin, I saw Brother Han a couple of days ago."

Zhao Yuanqing grinned, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "How did you meet Mayor Mu? I heard from Brother Han that Mayor Mu asked his father to take care of you."

"Brother Han? Han Jie?" Qian Zixu asked tentatively.

Zhao Yuanqing nodded slightly.

"Mayor Mu, you mean... Mu Qingshan?" Qian Zixu asked in surprise.

Zhao Yuanqing nodded again.

Huang Xingzhi was startled again, and looked at Wei Lin as if he were looking at a monster hiding in the shadows.

After a moment, he said with a bitter smile, "Wei Lin, you've been hiding your true colors too well, haven't you? We've met a few times because of Yuan Qing, and you're always so amiable. Who knows how many people you actually know!"

Qian Zixu wholeheartedly agreed, adding, "Luckily, we had Yuan Qing, otherwise..."

At this point, they were both genuinely grateful to Zhao Yuanqing, feeling that if it weren't for his mediation, they would have suffered a great loss at Wei Lin's hands.
