I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 412 Not moving at all
Ling Zhijian continued to ponder.

"In the hat industry, besides Huafeng, there's Zhuang Dasheng."

"But I'm not very familiar with this smiling tiger. If he finds out that what I want is Qingque, the 80% stake in Qingque held by Wei Lin, then given Zhuang Dasheng's greed and ruthlessness..."

Ling Zhijian shook his head secretly.

In his eyes, Zhuang Dasheng was even more insidious and ruthless than he was.

Over the years, Zhuang Dasheng had done countless dirty deeds. Fearing that Zhuang Dasheng might also be eyeing the shares in Wei Lin's hands, he did not ask Zhuang Dasheng about them.

"Who else in the relevant industry besides them?"

Ling Zhijian racked his brains for a long time, then pulled out Zhong Xiaowei's business card from the drawer and called her directly.

"Mr. Zhong, I am Ling Zhijian from Changjie Apparel. I have some questions for you."

Ling Zhijian brought up Xinlin again, inquiring about Xinlin's business operations and trying to find out its details.

After he finished speaking, Zhong Xiaowei on the other end suddenly let out a chilling laugh.

Then, Zhong Xiaowei said sarcastically, "President Ling, I know absolutely nothing about anything related to Xinlin! But, I wish you good luck!"

Zhong Xiaowei laughed loudly and hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Ling Zhijian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Because it's so weird.

When he planned to ask Wei Lin to make some hats, Wei Lin refused to take the order but strongly recommended Hua Mu and Zhi Jie.

This demonstrates that Wei Lin's relationship with Hua Feng and Ding Weizhi was extraordinary.

If that's the case, then how could Hua Feng be completely clueless when he asked Hua Feng about Xin Lin and Wei Lin's situation?

Zhong Xiaowei's behavior was even stranger!
Also from the hat factory in Linjiang City, when he heard that he was asking about Xinlin, Zhong Pangzi's strange laughter made him feel uneasy.

Finally, they even wished him good luck.

This made Ling Zhijian feel strongly uneasy.

“The departments were all vague and evasive, and none of his colleagues could explain it clearly.”

"What's going on with Wei Lin?"

"Huaxing's Laiyi Apparel has been failing for a long time. He watched Qingque grow stronger step by step, and he really didn't have any ambitions at all?"

"If Wei Lin is truly insignificant, shouldn't Huaxing have acted faster than me? Using its resources and methods, shouldn't it have seized 80% of Wei Lin's shares for itself?"

"What do you mean Huaxing can't do this kind of thing? Bullshit!"

Ling Zhijian felt more and more uneasy.

He pondered, scrolling through the contacts on his phone, when his gaze suddenly fell on Lin Qian's name.

"Lin Qian is a relatively young guy who loves to befriend all sorts of people. Old or young, as long as they have some status or position, he'll try his best to get close to them."

"Let's ask him!"

Ling Zhijian dialed Lin Qian's number again.

He repeated the same question, asking Lin Qian if he knew Xinlin Hat Industry and whether he knew anything about Xinlin's boss, Wei Lin.

"Uncle Ling, you want to cooperate with Xinlin, right? Haha, you've come to the right person!"

Lin Qian laughed heartily on the phone and said, "I know Wei Lin, although we're not very close, we've met several times! Uncle Ling, you may not know much about Wei Lin, and many people in Linjiang City don't know much about him either, but I, Lin Qian, do know a bit about him!"

"Wei Lin's influence and network of connections far exceed your imagination! Moreover, he has a great influence not only in Linjiang City, but also throughout Jiangsu Province, including Shanghai!"

"In our Linjiang City, there is Mr. Zhu Jun of Tiantong Real Estate, Mr. Zhao Fulong of Fulong Medical, Mr. Ma Yungui of Xingui Investment, Mayor Mu, and Mr. Han Jie of Hanli Group."

“Uncle Ling, if you and Wei Lin can cooperate, it will definitely be helpful to you.”

"I……"

Lin Qian began to speak eloquently.

As Ling Zhijian held the phone, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Only when Lin Qian got tired of talking and stopped did he manage a weak smile and say, "I am indeed interested in cooperating. I need to come up with a plan. Let's talk about it in a couple of days."

"Uncle Ling, should I tell Wei Lin? I'm afraid I can't help with anything else, but I can at least pass on a message!"

"To be honest, Uncle Ling, the recent big orders for my family's hotel supplies business were all secured through Wei Lin's connections!"

"Fang Qidong of Fangxing Group in Shanghai is also Wei Lin's good brother!"

Lin Qianna dares to say anything.

Ling Zhijian was taken aback and didn't recover for a while. Only after Lin Qian urged him did he laugh and say, "No need, no need! Anyway, not for now! I haven't thought about it yet, so please don't say anything more." Lin Qian was confused and nodded, "Oh, I understand."

……

"Mr. Zhu, I am Ling Zhijian from Changjie Apparel."

"We just met at the business conference a while ago, do you remember us?"

"Here's the thing, I'd like to have Xinlin Hat Industry manufacture a batch of hats for me. You know General Manager Wei, right?"

Ling Zhijian started making phone calls to confirm each one.

Zhu Jun: "Wei Lin is my adopted younger brother. If President Ling is willing to place an order, I can guarantee that Wei Lin will be fine, and his hat factory will be fine too."

Ling Zhijian smiled and nodded: "Then I understand."

Next, he made several more phone calls, subtly seeking confirmation from each of them.

Half an hour later.

Ling Zhijian summoned his nephew, Ling Lifeng, to his office. He looked at Ling Lifeng with a scrutinizing gaze and said coldly, "How much do you know about Xinlin now?"

Ling Lifeng investigated through his connections but found nothing, saying, "In my opinion, Wei Lin is just bragging!"

"I asked my acquaintance at Qifeng Hat Industry, and I heard that even Qifeng Hat Industry is short of orders! With the current economic climate being so bad, which company dares to say they can't finish their orders?"

He scoffed dismissively and said, "Uncle, that Wei Lin is just an incompetent good-for-nothing! I think if you want his shares in Qingque, you only need to use a few tricks!"

Ling Zhijian stared at him, remaining silent for a long time, but his eyes grew increasingly cold.

Gradually, Ling Lifeng felt a chill and finally realized something was wrong: "What's wrong, Uncle?"

Ling Zhijian took a deep breath and let out the same chilling laugh as Zhong Xiaowei had before, saying, "Luckily, luckily I was cautious enough and didn't get killed by you!"

"If you don't know anything, then so be it."

"Heh, that bastard Hua Xing is really something. It seems he's wanted me dead for a long time!"

"Lai, Huaxing, Huafeng, you all deserve to die!"

Ling Zhijian cursed through gritted teeth.

……

the other side.

Hua Feng, Zhong Xiaowei, and Lin Qian all called Wei Lin.

Several other people from various departments also mentioned, somewhat cryptically, that Changjie's boss, Ling Zhijian, was inquiring about him and Xinlin Hat Industry.

"never mind."

Wei Lin put down the phone, grinned at An Yuntian who was still a little worried, and said, "If Ling Zhijian is willing to do a serious investigation instead of immediately messing with us, then nothing will happen."

Linjiang is, after all, a small city.

The relationships between the various departments are such that most of the prominent figures in each department are acquaintances with each other.

Wei Lin has not yet made a name for himself in Linjiang City, and not many people know about him. However, if Ling Zhijian keeps asking around, he will eventually find out something about him.

“I also received a call. Ling Zhijian wanted to do something, but unfortunately he couldn’t do anything.”

An Yuntian laughed easily.

He then went to Wei Lin's office, where he received several calls from old friends who knew that Ling Zhijian was inquiring about Xin Lin's situation and wanted to stir up some trouble behind the scenes.

"Linzi, what do we do now?"

An Yuntian asked.

Wei Lin squinted and said, "Ling Zhijian has developed evil intentions and greed, and he has even tried to take action. It's just that he ran into our Xinlin, so he couldn't leverage the power he could."

"If he hadn't targeted Xinlin or me, Wei Lin, and it had just been a small hat factory, he might have taken advantage of the situation and suppressed us."

"Let's wait and see if Ling Zhijian's apology comes first, and then we'll see if he's sincere."

Wei Lin said coldly.

An Yuntian was startled: "What if Ling Zhijian pretends nothing happened?"

Wei Lin shook his head and chuckled strangely, "Then I'll make him stop pretending. If he doesn't come over and apologize on his own, I'll force him to come."
