I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 397 You know nothing about Wei Lin!
Zhuang Dasheng immediately got busy.

"Hey, Lao Hong? What have you been up to lately? I need to ask you something."

"I know you've put a lot of your spare money into Ma Yungui's New Elite Investment. How's it going on there? Is everything alright? Oh, that's good."

"Haha! It's nothing, I was just asking. Let's arrange a dinner together another day."

"Mr. Zhang, I know you're quite familiar with Ma Yungui. I have a question for you: is it safe to put money with him? Well, I happen to have some spare cash on hand and I'd like to put it in there to test the waters."

"Brother Huang, it's like this."

In front of his daughter Zhuang Qing, Zhuang Dasheng made several phone calls.

He had been operating in Linjiang City for many years, and his network of connections was not much inferior to Ma Yungui's. He had many powerful figures and influential people on good terms with him, and he also had some interactions with Ma Yungui.

After a round of veiled inquiries, he found no problems with Xingui Investment, and no one had received any rumors.

"New Noble Investment is currently in good condition, so Ma Yungui probably doesn't intend to scam Wei Lin."

Zhuang Dasheng frowned, still finding it hard to understand, and said, "You and Zhao Yuanqing are quite familiar with each other, aren't you?"

Zhuang Qing nodded: "Yes, he and Wei Lin are best friends, and he's getting married to Han Ying soon."

"Everyone in Linjiang City knows that Zhao Yuanqing's father, Zhao Fulong, has the closest relationship with Ma Yungui. Go ask Zhao Yuanqing if he knows anything about it," Zhuang Dasheng reminded him.

He knew Zhao Fulong, but their relationship wasn't that deep, and Zhao Fulong might not be willing to tell him the truth.

It would be easier to have the daughter go to Zhao Yuanqing.

"it is good!"

Zhuang Qing immediately dialed Zhao Yuanqing's number, and as soon as the call connected, she said bluntly, "Wei Lin told me that the newly rich Uncle Ma wants to give him a portion of his shares. What exactly is going on? Your father and Uncle Ma are the closest of friends. Does your father know about this? Zhao Yuanqing, you and Wei Lin are good brothers. You'd better keep an eye on things!"

Zhao Yuanqing was taken aback and immediately said, "Zhuang Qing, don't worry, I'll go ask her right away!"

A few minutes later, he learned the whole story from his father, and then, like Wei Lin, he was in a daze for a while.

He was Wei Lin's brother, so he didn't reply to Zhuang Qing immediately, but instead called Wei Lin first.

“I’ve already heard about it from my dad. Zhuang Qing was worried that Uncle Ma would harm you, so she asked me about it.”

Zhao Yuanqing took a breath and shouted, "Wei Lin, what are you really thinking? Uncle Ma gave you so many shares because he believes you can continue to help his company in the future, right?"

Wei Lin said, "That should be the case."

“My dad told me he knows what you’re worried about. He asked me to tell you that Uncle Ma’s company doesn’t have those problems you’re concerned about.” At this point, Zhao Yuanqing suddenly perked up and shouted, “Damn it! Wei Lin, if you just agree, you’ll be on the same level of wealth as my dad and his family!”

Wei Lin feigned composure: "I'm still struggling with it."

"What are you still hesitating about? Uncle Ma's company is fine, why don't you take the money that's being given to you for free?" Zhao Yuanqing was even more agitated than him, and he started urging him on the phone, saying, "I'm free tonight, where are you now? Let's meet and talk!"

Wei Lin said, "I'm not free tonight, let's talk another day."

Zhao Yuanqing: "A woman? You arranged this alone?"

Wei Lin: "Mm."

Zhao Yuanqing: "You son of a bitch! Zhuang Qing was so worried about you, and you shameless scumbag! How am I supposed to reply to Zhuang Qing?"

Wei Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Just say that you've already asked your dad, and that Uncle Ma is optimistic about my future, so he wants to bet on me in advance."

Zhao Yuanqing: "Okay."

……

County and Mansion.

“Zhao Yuanqing said that he asked his father, and his father also knows about this matter.”

Zhuang Qing put down the phone, her beautiful face still full of doubt, and said, "His father said that Ma Yungui has always had a unique vision. The companies he took a liking to in his early years have all become giants in Linjiang City. Ma Yungui thinks that Wei Lin will also succeed in the future."

Zhuang Dasheng shook his head and said, "That should be Xingui Investment investing in Wei Lin's Xinlin Hat Industry, not Wei Lin investing in Xingui Investment!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Qing also felt that it made sense, and was stunned again.

Just then, Zhuang Dasheng's phone rang.

"Oh, Old Zhao? Hahaha, I was just concerned about Wei Lin."

"You know Wei Lin and Zhuang Qing are dating, so I really don't understand why Ma Yungui would suddenly pull this stunt!"

Zhuang Dasheng said with a smile.

He chatted with Zhao Fulong for a while on the phone and learned about some recent events that had happened to Wei Lin.

Qin Wei, Huo Jiaxiong, Han Jie, Mu Qingshan. These were all names that put pressure on him, yet they all had complex connections with Wei Lin.

For the first time, he clearly realized that the people and things that Wei Lin could influence had far exceeded his expectations.

How could Ma Yungui dare to harm someone like Wei Lin?
"Whose phone number?"

Zhuang Qing inquired.

"Zhao Fulong."

After answering, Zhuang Dasheng paused for a moment before saying, "How did you manage to start dating Wei Lin? You know absolutely nothing about him!"

Zhuang Qing was taken aback: "What's wrong with him?"

Zhuang Dasheng's expression was stern as he said in a deep voice, "Ma Yungui gave Wei Lin a 30% stake in Xingui Investment! He didn't ask Wei Lin to contribute a single penny; it was a complete free gift!"

Zhuang Qing: "Huh!?"

……

At 6:30, in a private room of a Cantonese restaurant.

Ling Yao was wearing a black bodycon skirt and a light down jacket, and had been waiting for half an hour.

She glanced at the messages on her phone every now and then, but didn't utter a single word of urging.

Wei Lin told her yesterday that he was used to eating dinner at 6:30, so she set the time at that time.

But Wei Lin hasn't arrived yet.

"There shouldn't be any traffic jams on Monday."

Ling Yao lowered her head, looking at the dishes on the menu, and had already chosen a few.

She decided on the restaurant around noon after consulting with a client, and called ahead to reserve a small private room.

There is a minimum charge for the private rooms. The minimum charge for this small private room is six hundred. She was thinking about how to get six hundred.

"Boss, this is it."

A waiter's crisp voice came from outside the door.

Ling Yao immediately put down the menu in her hand, a bright smile on her beautiful face, her gaze falling on the closed door of the private room.

The waiter opened the door, and Wei Lin entered with a smile.

He was tall and wore a navy blue trench coat, with one hand on his hip and a gift bag in the other.

As soon as he came in, he casually handed the gift bag to Ling Lai and said with a smile, "It's rare for you to treat me to a meal, so I just went to Golden Eagle and picked out a small gift for you."

The Cartier logo is clearly visible on the gift bag.

Ling Yao's beautiful eyes lit up with surprise, but she said in a flustered voice, "Brother Wei, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Linjiang City doesn't have many luxury brands. Wealthy people here who want to buy expensive items have to go to the neighboring Jinling City to purchase them.

Cartier is arguably the most expensive brand available in Linjiang City, and Ling Yao naturally knew its value.

Jewelry and watches, each item is quite valuable, often starting at tens of thousands.

What is her relationship with Wei Lin? They're just friends.

On Saturday at the Irina Beauty Center, Wei Lin had just deposited 30,000 yuan. Today, she specially expressed her gratitude, only treating Wei Lin to a meal. Wei Lin, however, thoughtfully bought her a gift.

And it's the Cartier brand.

Ling Yao was both excited and timid. She pushed the gift bag in front of Wei Lin and said in a flustered manner, "Thank you, Brother Wei, but I really can't accept it!"

Hu Xiaoying accepted Yang Huan's two bags and tens of thousands of yuan without any qualms, because the two were boyfriend and girlfriend.

What are she and Wei Lin?
She hadn't had any relationship with Wei Lin, and Wei Lin hadn't explicitly shown any intention to pursue her, so she felt embarrassed to accept things for no reason.

"It's just a bracelet, it's not worth much, take it."

Wei Lin smiled, stood up and placed the gift bag on the table behind Ling Yao, where her handbag was placed, and said firmly, "If you continue to be so polite with me, then I won't eat this meal."

Ling Yao liked his toughness and domineering nature. After a slight hesitation, she said with a helpless expression, "Alright then."
