I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 411 Did they run into a brick wall?
Wei Lin really didn't take Ling Zhijian seriously.

Changjie's industrial scale is not too exaggerated, and Ling Zhijian's status in Linjiang City is not as high as that of Zhao Fulong, Zhuang Dasheng and Ma Yungui.

Compared to Han Jie, the son of the richest man in China, Ling Zhijian is far inferior.

In Wei Lin's view, since he has people like Han Jie, Zhu Jun, and Zhao Fulong around him who can help him, and he also has connections with Mu Qingshan and Huo Jiaxiong, he can even get Qin Wei to help him.

So, what exactly is Ling Zhijian?
Whether it's suppression from those in power or business strategies, Wei Lin is fearless.

"Wei Lin, why don't you talk to Miss Hua? Tell her to be careful and on guard lately."

An Yuntian tried to persuade him.

He also felt that Ling Zhijian probably couldn't do anything to Xinlin, but was worried that the unstable situation on Qingque's side gave Ling Zhijian an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Wei Lin smiled easily and said, "Isn't Ling Zhijian's method a bit underhanded? Does he also resort to dirty tricks? Do you think he would do something to Qing Que?"

Old An chuckled: "Which of the entrepreneurs who survived from that era and are still alive today has a truly clean record? Do you think that Ma Yungui, Zhao Fulong, and even Han Jie's father, Han Yuantu, all used honorable means when they were competing with their rivals in their early years?"

"Is the kind of 'methods' you used to bring down Fatty Zhong's Tianzhong a legitimate and honorable act? If you, Wei Lin, can do it, why can't others do it?"

“I’ve been watching over Xinlin all these years, and there won’t be any problems in any aspect. We’re not afraid that Ling Zhijian will use his connections to investigate.”

“But Qingque is just starting out, and Xiao Hua has little experience. I’m worried that she can’t withstand any major setbacks. You should tell her to be careful.”

An Yuntian said earnestly.

Wei Lin humbly accepted the advice and immediately called Hua Hongshan to communicate, saying that Changjie's boss, Ling Zhijian, was interested in acquiring Qingque shares from him.

"Wei Lin, you didn't agree to work with him, did you? I'm only willing to cooperate with you, no one else will do!"

Hua Hongshan screamed on the phone.

Ling Lifeng didn't have much money, but she knew Ling Zhijian of Changjie very well. He was the big shot who led Changjie to surpass Laiyi. Ling Zhijian's appearance surprised her.

Wei Lin laughed and said, "I didn't agree to his request, which is why I'm afraid he might do something underhanded. Be careful."

Hua Hongshan: "That's good!"

……

Inside the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Ling Lifeng sat in the driver's seat, and as soon as Ling Zhijian sat in the back, he immediately asked, "Uncle, how did your talk go?"

Ling Zhijian, now seated, gazed at Xinlin's factory and office building, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He said calmly, "I intended to place hat orders with Xinlin, but Wei Lin refused, saying that Xinlin was simply too busy."

"Xiaofeng, neither of us knows Xinlin well enough. You need to investigate carefully these next few days and see if Xinlin really has no shortage of orders as they say."

Ling Zhijian gave the order with a stern face.

Ling Lifeng nodded repeatedly and hurriedly said, "I'll go and find out more!"

Since Ling Zhijian hadn't answered his previous question, he didn't dare to press further. Even though his curiosity was about to burst, he could only wait for Ling Zhijian to bring it up himself.

Ling Zhijian squinted, still looking at Xinlin's factory, pondering the scenes he had witnessed that morning.

Even after the Mercedes left Xinlin and drove onto the wide main road, Ling Zhijian was still comparing it in his mind.

He gradually realized that, based on what he saw, Xinlin's employees did indeed seem to be constantly busy.

Xinlin probably doesn't have to worry about orders.

"Before I even expressed my desire for Qingque's shares, he rejected my order. It's not hard to find out how many orders Xinlin has. Is Xinlin really that busy?"

Ling Zhijian muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Wei Lin is unwilling to relinquish Qingque's shares."

Ling Lifeng's spirits lifted, and he chuckled, "Uncle, are you going to do something to Qingque?"

"Bluebird? Forget about Bluebird."

Ling Zhijian shook his head and said, "After all, the Hua Xing family's daughter is the founder of Qing Que. Even if she only owns 20% of the shares, she is still a part of Qing Que. If we target Qing Que, we might easily anger Hua Xing. Even if Lai Yi is not as powerful as before, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and Xin Lin is not comparable to it."

Ling Lifeng nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "I get it."

Clearly, in his uncle's eyes, Wei Lin and Xin Lin were still far from being comparable to Hua Xing and Lai Yi.

Ling Zhijian was afraid that if he messed with Qingque, he would inevitably provoke Huaxing, so he was determined to target Xinlin.

“We didn’t pay attention to small companies like Xinlin before, but it’s not too late to start looking now. Let’s go back and study them carefully.”

Ling Zhijian said.

...Qingque Clothing.

Hua Hongshan twirled her pen, thinking about Ling Zhijian's deeds, and felt that she should still talk to her father.

She immediately dialed Huaxing's number and explained in detail how Ling Zhijian had visited Wei Lin's hat factory that day to discuss the acquisition of Qingque shares.

"Dad, Wei Lin is worried that Ling Zhijian will target Qingque. What do you think?"

Hua Hongshan asked.

Hua Xing hadn't expected Ling Zhijian to act so quickly. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "Old Ling won't do anything to your Qingque. You can rest assured about that. I have my own resources and connections in the clothing industry in Linjiang City, so he wouldn't dare to mess around."

At this point, Hua Xing snorted coldly: "I bet he's been bewitched by Ling Lifeng, that's why he's so enthusiastic! That kid Ling Lifeng has impure thoughts, no wonder he's never been entrusted with any important tasks."

Hua Hongshan was startled and exclaimed, "You mean, he might target Wei Lin's company?"

"There is a possibility."

Hua Xing didn't mention that Ling Zhijian had already informed him beforehand. He laughed on the phone and said, "Don't worry so much. Wei Lin's influence is much greater than you know! If Old Ling wants to make a move against Xin Lin, he might be in deep trouble!"

"Old Ling... heh, I'd like to see what he's capable of!"

After saying that, Hua Xing hung up the phone.

Hua Hongshan was stunned. She hadn't expected her father to speak so highly of Wei Lin. She could even detect a hint of apprehension about Wei Lin in her father's words.

“Ling Zhijian, Wei Lin, one old and one young, these two…”

Hua Hongshan muttered a few words, still feeling uneasy and uneasy, as if something was not quite right.

……

In the afternoon, Changjie Apparel.

After returning to the company, Ling Zhijian began to use his resources to inquire about Xinlin's situation in detail.

In his view, there are only two ways to control a small company like Xinlin: one is through commercial suppression, and the other is through using power and connections to investigate whether Xinlin has any problems.

This is also Wei Lin's approach towards Tianzhong.

Ling Zhijian had connections in the business, fire, and tax sectors, and he asked his friends one by one to investigate.

Those guys are all shrewd; as soon as they heard his cryptic words, they guessed that he intended to do something to Xinlin.

An hour later, Ling Zhijian's expression gradually became serious.

Those who were close to him, upon hearing that the company he was inquiring about was Xinlin Hat Industry, all avoided it like the plague, saying that Xinlin had no problems whatsoever.

They even advised him not to act recklessly, lest he get himself into trouble.

He, who considered himself to have a high status in the clothing industry in Linjiang City, was suddenly stunned, feeling as if he had accidentally kicked a steel plate.

"What's going on? Xinlin is just a small factory, why are they all so wary of it?"

Ling Zhijian, being a seasoned veteran, immediately sensed something was amiss and became even more cautious in his actions.

"I also know Huaxing's younger brother, Huafeng, from the hat factory; we've even had meals together a few times..."

Ling Zhijian then dialed Huafeng's number.

He laughed for a while before saying, "Huafeng, it's like this."

"We at Changjie wanted Xinlin to help produce a batch of hats, but Xinlin's boss, Wei Lin, said that Xinlin was too busy with orders and that it would be better to let you, Huamu, make them."

"What's going on with Xinlin? Is business really that good?"

"Hua Feng, you know your brother and I are old friends. We've always had a working relationship, so don't hide it from me!"

Ling Zhijian said with a smile.

Hua Feng had just met with Hua Xing last night and knew that Hua Xing hadn't reminded Ling Zhijian, so he was probably plotting something.

Hua Feng then gave a vague answer, saying that he was not quite sure about Xinlin's true situation.

Ling Zhijian asked for a long time but got nothing out of him, so he had no choice but to let the matter drop.
