I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 44 The Greedy and the Villain
In the following days, Wei Lin rushed between four companies during the day, went to the gym to exercise when he had free time, and meditated from time to time.

In the evening, he would take time to have dinner with Lin Nanxi and occasionally visit Gao Xue. His life was extremely fulfilling.

The growth of his love value was also increasing day by day, which made him quite satisfied.

As for the two stocks he bought, they have been fluctuating, but at the moment everything seems normal, and there haven't been any abnormal movements.

As someone who is used to taking the long-term view, what he lacks the least in the stock market is patience, and he is not in a hurry at all.

In addition to the increase in love value, his physical strength has also been slowly but continuously improving recently. What surprised him was the benefits brought by super meditation.

Every day, he felt extremely energetic, and his mind was finally clear and running at high speed.

In addition, he no longer suffered from insomnia due to anxiety.

Time flies, and it is Wednesday, October 10th.

The love value has been increasing at a rate of more than 20 or 30 points per day, and has gradually accumulated to 243, which is much closer to the breakthrough point of 500.

Half past two in the afternoon.

Three trucks arrived at Xinlin one after another. The workers in the factory were busy unloading the goods. Wei Lin, An Yuntian and others accompanied the quality inspectors to inspect the first batch of goods.

"Birch is 4, Zhijie is 4.5, and Tianzhong is 3. The quality of this batch is no problem."

An Yuntian carefully counted the amount and inspected each hat prepared for Fenglin. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There won't be any problems on our side. As long as the quality and quantity of the next three batches can be guaranteed as they are now, Fenglin will be safe."

Wei Lin nodded and said, "From now on, we will personally inspect each batch of goods every two weeks to ensure that there are no mistakes."

"Strange..." An Yuntian muttered, frowning, "Is Tang Qiang too busy lately? Given his usual style, if we snatch his orders, he'll probably do something behind the scenes."

"We can't take it lightly. He may not do anything in the early stages, but will suddenly give us a hard blow at the end." Wei Lin's face was solemn.

Both the uncle and nephew understood Tang Qiang's character and knew that he was not easy to deal with, so they were always on edge.

"I'm just afraid that he'll make his move at the last minute."

An Yuntian's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "If he makes a move in advance, we still have time to deal with it. If he makes a move before the delivery, I'm afraid we really won't be able to find a solution for a while."

"Well, we can only do what we can first, and then think about what he will do to us." When Wei Lin spoke, he imagined himself as Tang Qiang, and one crazy idea after another popped up in his mind.

He felt that his brain had become more and more clear recently, and he had many new ideas and some bad ideas.

"Tang Qiang has a hard time getting through to Fenglin. He can only think of ways to delay our shipments. He can also use his connections to investigate fire safety and sanitation issues, forcing our factory to shut down, or he can talk to those three companies privately, or he can contact our four material suppliers and force them to delay delivering the materials on time, or..."

As thoughts popped up one after another, Wei Lin broke out in a cold sweat.

He suddenly realized that if he were Tang Qiang, he would have many overt and covert means to use if he wanted to disrupt his and Fenglin's orders.

"It's so bad!"

It is unclear whether he was scolding Tang Qiang or himself with this sentence.

"Jingle Bell!"

The phone suddenly rang.

Wei Lin took a look, frowned at first, then smiled and answered, "Hello, Uncle Zhong! Well, I received the first batch of goods. There is no problem with the quality. Thank you, Uncle Zhong!"

"Tian Zhong, Zhong Xiaowei." An Yuntian immediately knew who Wei Lin was talking to on the phone.

He looked at Wei Lin, who first had a bright smile on his face, and then the smile gradually disappeared. Then he began to cry poor, talking about his difficulties, and how this order did not make any money at all, etc.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lin's face turned cold and he snorted, "Humanity is insatiable."

"What did Fatty Zhong say?" An Yuntian asked anxiously.

"He said his factory just received an order with a very good price, that his workers' overtime pay was very high, and that he was very concerned about this order for us." Wei Lin curled his lips and summarized: "After all this talk, he just wants to raise the price by one dollar for each hat."

"Damn it!" An Yuntian stamped his feet in anger. "He's not satisfied with just 9 yuan?"

"Everyone makes this. A hat, including all the costs, including materials, labor, overtime, and equipment wear and tear, only costs six dollars!"

"I gave Tianzhong a 12 yuan order, allowing him to make a steady profit of 36 yuan in two months, and he's still not satisfied?
"He still wants 10? Aren't we supposed to pay for the overseas shipping? If we give him 10, we'll make absolutely no money from that order! Let Fatty Zhong pocket all the profits!"

"Doing business, is there anyone like him doing this?"

An Yuntian was furious.

"Uncle An, don't be angry for now. I've calmed him down for now."

"He also said that he was just casually mentioning it, but he would still follow the contract." Wei Lin narrowed his eyes, a strange light flickering in them, that was his thoughts and ideas jumping around. "I wonder if he is greedy, or if it was Tang Qiang's instruction."

"It's similar to Tang Qiang's method, but Fatty Zhong is indeed greedy. That's why his business is not big!" An Yuntian said breathlessly.

"Okay, Uncle An, there hasn't been any change yet. We just need to be careful and guard against him." Wei Lin comforted the exasperated old man.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Before he understood Zhong Xiaowei's thoughts, it was difficult for him to take precautions in time. If he acted rashly, it would be counterproductive and cause even worse consequences.

"If only I could read his mind, I could just meet him and talk to him face to face and know what he really wants to do."

Wei Lin said secretly.

……

night.

Zhao Fulong organized a social gathering and took his son to have dinner with several of his business clients. After drinking some white wine, the father and son went to the bathroom together.

"Have you ordered the car? Which model? Which type?" Zhao Fulong, dressed in a Tang suit, drank half a catty of white wine, and his broad forehead turned slightly red.

Zhao Yuanqing pulled out a piece of paper, handed it to the old man who had just washed his hands, and said with an awkward smile: "No, I'm waiting for you to give me money."

"Where are the stocks?" Zhao Fulong asked with a smile.

"Neither dead nor alive." Zhao Yuanqing said with a bitter face.

"Just sell it." Zhao Fulong snorted and said, "Your energy and attention should be focused on the company. Stocks are too draining. You shouldn't get involved!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yuanqing nodded and bowed.

After the old man left, he opened the stock account on his mobile phone and took a look at the numbers.

"340 million, it dropped a bit today."

He didn't care much about the gains and losses of stocks, but ever since the old man relented and allowed him to buy a luxury car, he started to take it seriously.

He now cares more about the two stocks than Wei Lin. He checks the ups and downs of their prices whenever he has nothing to do, which has made him a little nervous.

After a week, the two stocks went up and down, and were still in a downward trend overall. The old man often teased him about this, which made him a little mentally broken.

"My Bentley! Is there any hope?"

Zhao Yuanqing sighed even when he peed.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Two firefighters claimed that they received a report and came to Xinlin for inspection.

When Wei Lin arrived at the company, the staff had already left and asked Xinlin to suspend production for a day and resume production only after a re-inspection the next day to ensure that there were no problems.

"It must be Tang Qiang!"

An Yuntian was furious. He slammed the table in Wei Lin's office and cursed, "Trying to do this to us? Tang Qiang is getting more and more despicable!"

Wei Lin narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.

"Is it a big problem?"

After a while, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Our fire protection system has been up to standard from the beginning. They're just nitpicking and picking on trivial issues. Don't worry, Linzi. If there's a problem with Xinlin's fire protection system, then no other company will be able to meet the standards!" An Yuntian was extremely confident. "It's just that the fire extinguisher is placed in the wrong place, and things like that are easy to fix."

"If we follow the rules and regulations today, we should be able to resume work tomorrow. I'm just worried about being reported and being constantly targeted and troubled!"

He was worried about the future.

What Wei Lin was worried about were the other three companies.

There is no problem with Xinlin, but what about Huamu, Zhijie and Tianzhong?
Thinking of this, Wei Lin quickly made three phone calls to inquire, fearing that Huamu, Zhijie and Tianzhong would also be investigated for fire safety issues, which would be difficult to deal with.

Based on his understanding of those three companies, once they were investigated, their problems would be much more serious than Xinlin's.

"Strange, Huamu, Zhijie and Tianzhong were not reported to the fire department."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lin thought carefully for a moment and said, "Tang Qiang knows us and the other three companies. This is really his plan. He wouldn't focus on us, who have the least problems to investigate."

"Who is messing with us? Linzi, have you offended anyone recently?" An Yuntian asked curiously.

Wei Lin didn't say anything. The images of Liao Haibo, Wang Hongyu, Zhang Xun and Qi Muyang appeared in his mind, and he quickly analyzed them one by one.

Fortunately, he was smart enough now and quickly eliminated Liao Haibo.

Liao Haibo has a wife and children. He first did something bad to He Jingxuan in the gym. He also threatened Liao Haibo that if he dared to make things worse, he would show the surveillance footage to Liao Haibo's wife and children.

With the evidence in his hand and Liao Haibo looking cowardly, he should consider the consequences of doing things behind his back.

"Wang Hongyu's background? Is his family in business? Or in politics?"

After adding WeChat, he sent a message to Zhuang Qing for the first time even though he had never contacted her before.

Zhuang Qing quickly replied, "What's wrong, Wei Lin?"

"It's nothing serious. Someone reported that my company had fire safety issues, and I want to know who is behind it." Wei Lin replied.

"Wang Hongyu's family is in business, not a large one, but they might have connections. Do you want me to ask around for you?" Zhuang Qing knew that the conflict between Wei Lin and Wang Hongyu was mainly caused by her, so she said, "My family also has influence in this area. Do you need my help?"

"No need! It shouldn't be Wang Hongyu." Wei Lin quickly refused.

Xinlin asked Qi Feng to help solve his fire protection problem. What the hell is this?
If he mentioned Xinlin's name, Zhuang Qing would definitely know that he was in the same business as her. If even Tang Qiang knew about it, who knows what he would do.

"Okay, if you really have something to say, remember to let me know." Zhuang Qing was very righteous.

Wei Lin felt a liking for him and thought to himself, "The one that gives me a headache is your Tang Qiang!"

After finishing his conversation with Zhuang Qing, Wei Lin was already 60% to 70% confident, so he took the initiative to contact Yuan Xiaoe for the first time: "Zhang Xun or Qi Muyang, who has connections in the fire department?"

Yuan Xiao'e replied after a quarter of an hour: "Zhang Xun."

Wei Lin sneered and said to An Yuntian, who had been staring at him for a long time, "It's not Tang Qiang, it's a villain I recently provoked."
