I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 331 Awe-inspiring Power to Zhong Xiaowei

His small, bean-sized eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked coldly at Wei Lin.

Wei Lin's words revealed a great deal of information, and every sentence was the root of his current irritability, making him understand immediately.

—The person who framed him and Tianzhong behind the scenes is Wei Lin right in front of me!
Yin Xiaojin was at a loss.

"President Zhong, what's going on? Only our raw material prices have gone up, while the others haven't? Why are they targeting Tianzhong? President Zhong, are those material suppliers out of their minds?"

Yin Xiaojin stood up angrily.

Zhong Xiaowei waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down first, then his face darkened as he demanded, "Wei Lin, what do you mean by that? Have you really raised the price for our raw materials?"

An Yuntian, who was standing to the side, was also hearing about this for the first time and looked over with suspicion.

Wei Lin suddenly stopped smiling, and instead slightly curled the corners of his mouth, saying calmly, "Uncle Zhong, why don't you just ask him what's going on? Sigh, those material suppliers are really something, why would they suddenly do this to Tianzhong?"

"Uncle Zhong, have you done something shady lately? Otherwise, why would people be targeting you specifically?"

Wei Lin's words were piercing to the heart.

"President Wei, how can you talk like that? President Zhong is your elder, what you said is too much!"

Yin Xiaojin's expression changed, realizing that Wei Lin's visit was not well-intentioned.

He was also a little scared, because he knew what Zhong Xiaowei had been doing recently and was worried that his side had been exposed.

"Despicable things? Haha, I've done plenty of those!"

Fatty Zhong was shameless, sneering, "Small factories like ours are struggling to survive, so we have to do whatever it takes to stay alive! I, Zhong Xiaowei, have never been a good person! If I find out who's behind this, I'll fight them to the death!"

He began to retaliate.

Wei Lin grinned, seemingly unafraid, and said, "Uncle Zhong, if you guys don't handle this well, Tianzhong might go bankrupt. However, Xinlin's business has been very busy lately. We're busy enough with our own brand of hats, and we also have to fulfill a lot of orders for Zhijie and Huamu every month."

"Uncle Zhong, if you really can't handle Tianzhong, please remember to contact me first!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you a good price."

Wei Lin said with a smile.

“Wei Lin, although Tianzhong doesn’t have the same brand as your Xinlin, we still have orders to fulfill.” Zhong Xiao said with a slightly cold face, “Raw material prices may rise, it just means less profit. With orders in hand, do you think it’s possible for Tianzhong to go bankrupt?”

Yin Xiaojin nodded slightly.

After Qi Feng's reputation was damaged, many of his former brand partners came back. Zhong Xiaowei was very good at currying favor with these brands, and they were always treated very well whenever they came.

He arranged everything from upscale restaurants and fine wines to business clubs and escorts.

Many brands like this kind of thing, enjoy listening to his flattery, and their cooperation with him is relatively solid.

Yin Xiaojin, unaware of the details, felt that Wei Lin was exaggerating.

"We still have orders now, but what about later?"

Wei Lin laughed heartily and explained the situation more clearly, saying, "Compared to Qi Feng, Tianzhong has no reputation. Compared to Zhijie and Huamu, your craftsmanship is also mediocre."

"If Qi Feng, Zhi Jie, and Hua Mu were to compete for your customers with the same prices, what advantage would Tianzhong have left?"

After saying that, he stood up abruptly before he had even settled in his seat.

"I'm busy with other things, so I won't bother you any longer. Uncle Zhong, no need to see me off, don't be so polite!"

Wei Lin gave An Yuntian a carefree smile, then left Zhong Xiaowei's office with Old An.

……

"Fuck Wei Lin!"

The moment the door closed, Yin Xiaojin, who hadn't been glanced at by Wei Lin the entire time, couldn't help but burst into a rage, saying, "Wei Lin did it, didn't he? I bet it was him!"

"Mr. Zhong, is everything he said true?"

"Raw material prices have gone up, and only Tianzhong is experiencing such a rise. Could it be that he orchestrated this?"

"Qi Feng, Zhi Jie, and Hua Mu are all secretly stealing our customers?"

"That damn Wei Lin! Killing someone is one thing, but he's trying to force Tian Zhong to his death, and he's trying to force us both to our deaths!"

Yin Xiaojin barked loudly like a mad dog.

He kept mentioning Wei Lin's name and started using foul language. Judging from his posture, it seemed like he wanted to rush out and fight Wei Lin to the death.

Zhong Xiaowei, her face grim, was about to speak when Wei Lin suddenly pushed the door open again.

An Yuntian stood outside the door, glaring coldly at Yin Xiaojin, while Wei Lin had already taken a few steps to stand in front of Yin Xiaojin.

"Snapped!"

He first slapped Yin Xiaojin across the face, then grabbed her collar and lifted her almost with one hand, coldly saying, "You like to curse, don't you? Try cursing me again and see what happens?"

Yin Xiaojin, who thought Wei Lin had already left, was stunned by the slap, her face burning with pain.

When Wei Lin grabbed his collar and almost lifted him up, Yin Xiaojin immediately felt Wei Lin's terrifying strength. Seeing the chilling intent in Wei Lin's eyes, Yin Xiaojin immediately cowered.

The insults have already been hurled, and the other party has heard them; any further explanations are futile.

So, Yin Xiaojin could only stare at Wei Lin in silence.

"Wei Lin, what are you doing?!"

Zhong Xiaowei suddenly stood up, furious. He was almost driven mad by Wei Lin, and for the first time, he had seen Wei Lin's unreasonable side. He glared at Wei Lin and shouted, "Put Xiao Jin down!"

"Okay. Uncle Zhong, please keep your people in check!"

Wei Lin grinned coldly.

After saying that, he tossed Yin Xiaojin back onto the seat.

Then, his gaze passed over Yin Xiaojin and landed on Zhong Xiaowei's face. He said, "Perhaps he should go out and find out what kind of temper I, Wei Lin, have. President Yin, if I hear you cursing me again, someone will come to your house to greet you every day."

He was clearly speaking to Yin Xiaojin, but he kept staring at Zhong Xiaowei.

“Uncle Zhong, I remember you know Tong Jianlin from Guomin Decoration City, right? You can go ask Tong Jianlin what's been going on lately.”

Wei Lin said coldly.

Yin Xiaojin sat sullenly in his seat, not daring to make a move in the face of Wei Lin's forceful and threatening words.

He didn't know whether Wei Lin was telling the truth or not.

"Wei Lin, it's wrong of him to insult you. You've already hit him, so let's just let this matter go, shall we?"

In front of him, in his general manager's office, Wei Lin caught Yin Xiaojin red-handed and slapped Yin Xiaojin across the face, uttering threatening words directed at him.

Zhong Xiaowei truly witnessed Wei Lin's brutal and irritable side.

"Okay, let's leave this matter at that for now. However, there are other things that aren't finished yet, so let's settle them one by one."

Wei Lin stepped out of Zhong Xiaowei's office for the second time.

……

After he left.

Zhong Xiaowei and Yin Xiaojin remained silent for a while, without saying a word.

It wasn't until Yin Xiaojin saw Wei Lin and An Yuntian walking together towards the white Land Cruiser through the glass window that she covered her face and said, "They're gone."

Zhong Xiaowei puffed on a cigarette, exhaling smoke as he leaned back wearily in his leather chair and sighed, "Did we make a mistake?"

Yin Xiaojin was taken aback and asked, "President Zhong, what are you referring to?"

"Did we do something wrong by secretly using shell companies to sell counterfeit 'Reverse Demon' products?" Zhong Xiaowei's voice was somewhat weak, just like his current state of mind.

Wei Lin's explanation was clear enough.

Everything was orchestrated by Wei Lin. After Wei Lin left, he calmly thought about it and realized that he didn't have a good solution.

In addition, he was deeply shocked by the amount of energy that Wei Lin could currently use.

Regarding raw materials, how did Wei Lin manage to raise prices only for Tianzhong?
He wasn't too surprised that Wei Lin was able to persuade Birch and Zhijie to compete for his clients.

What's the deal with Qi Feng?

As the leading hat manufacturer in Linjiang City, Zhuang Dasheng looks down on everyone, while Xinlin's sudden rise also puts it in competition with Qifeng.

Why would Zhuang Dasheng make things difficult for Wei Lin because of his affairs?
Zhong Xiaowei felt like he was surrounded by enemies; all his peers were his enemies, and even his raw material suppliers were chasing after him.

The person responsible for all of this was none other than Wei Lin.

"We did this to survive, what's wrong with that?"

Yin Xiaojin gave a light shout, then added, "President Zhong, there shouldn't be any major problems with fire safety and environmental sanitation. We'll just rectify things according to the rules and regulations. Wei Lin is too arrogant; he dared to hit me in Tianzhong! You have to stand up for me!"

Zhong Xiao hesitated for a moment, then remembered Wei Lin's earlier words and immediately dialed Tong Jianlin's number.

"President Tong, this is Zhong Xiaowei from Tianzhong Hat Industry. It's like this, have you and Wei Lin had some kind of conflict recently?"

Zhong Xiaowei inquired.

A few minutes later.

Zhong Xiaowei put down the phone and collapsed onto the recliner like a deflated balloon.

"President Zhong, what happened? Did Tong Jianlin and Wei Lin really have a conflict? What was the outcome?"

Yin Xiaojin asked anxiously.

Zhong Xiaowei took a light breath and said, "Wei Lin hired Hong Mo and his gang to cause trouble at Tong Jianlin's National Decoration City, making it impossible for him to do business. You must have heard of Hong Mo, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xiaojin was immediately horrified.

“He hasn’t hired any thugs to cause trouble in Tianzhong yet, so he hasn’t gone too far.” Zhong Xiaowei was also scared and comforted him, “I think we should just let it go about the matter of him hitting you. It’s a good thing it was him who did it. If Hong Mo had come to you, you would know the consequences.”

Yin Xiaojin was both surprised and frightened, and said with a wry smile, "I know."

Hong Mo was one of the most notorious gangsters in Linjiang City. Many of the people who did business with him in his early years had some contact with him.

From Tong Jianlin, Zhong Xiaowei learned that Hong Mo and Wei Lin had an exceptionally good relationship, and that Wei Lin was even a close friend of Ma Yungui, Hong Mo's boss.

"When did Wei Zhenbang's son become such a capable person?"

Zhong Xiaowei sighed inwardly.
