I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 510 Troubles Ensued
"Xiao Long, why didn't President Peng invite you to the meeting?"

"Wei Lin was willing to invest in our company, and it was you who helped introduce him! He was brought to the forefront by President Peng in such a grand manner this time, how could you be absent?"

"Why don't you speak?"

Sun Xingbei pressed her hands on Wang Xiaolong's desk, staring directly into his eyes, looking as if she felt sorry for him.

Having just been reprimanded by Peng Xiang, Wang Xiaolong was already in no mood to work. When he saw Sun Xingbei barging in without knocking and spouting nonsense as usual, he finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Because your noise was heard by President Peng, he talked to me and said he was considering dismissing me."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xingbei exclaimed "Ah!" and then said angrily, "How could he treat you like this? You're a benefactor to our company! Without you, Wei Lin wouldn't have invested money in the company, without you..."

Wang Xiaolong interrupted coldly, "Can you shut up?"

Peng Xiang subtly mentioned the past conflict between Sun Xingbei and her colleagues, and hinted that Sun Xingbei might be forced to resign.

He himself knew about Sun Xingbei's problem, but he felt it wasn't serious enough, so he pretended not to see it.

Now, he clearly knows that Peng Xiang chose to talk to him about the matter before Wei Lin arrived, which shows that Peng Xiang intends to deal with this matter seriously.

Sun Xingbei stared at Wang Xiaolong at this moment, her face contorted in shock, and pointed at him, exclaiming, "You!"

Wang Xiaolong said coldly, "Get out! We'll talk about it when we get back!"

These words carried an air of undeniable authority, a stark contrast to his former self, which instantly calmed Sun Xingbei down.

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it."

For the first time, Sun Xingbei obeyed.

……

The morning meeting was held in a lively atmosphere.

Peng Xiang introduced Wei Lin to all the company's key personnel, and they had a long talk about the new game and the company's prospects, which gave Wei Lin a deep understanding of Kunpeng.

Unlike Xinlin Hat Industry, Kunpeng's employees are all young, as energetic as the company itself.

According to Peng Xiang, Kunpeng's main focus in the future will be the female market, and they will cultivate this field deeply.

Wei Lin finally understood the detailed data and revenue and expenditure of the games that Kunpeng was promoting.

The meeting, which was essentially a discussion, ended just before lunchtime. Wei Lin didn't linger any longer and waved goodbye to everyone with a smile.

"Wei Lin!"

Just as he entered the elevator, Sun Xingbei, who had been waiting for a long time, also hurriedly stepped in.

Wei Lin smiled calmly and said, "What? Going out for lunch?"

The elevator contained employees from Kunpeng as well as staff from other companies. Sun Xingbei didn't say much, but just nodded with a forced smile.

"Wei Lin, are you free tonight? Since you're in Shanghai, Xiao Long and I would like to treat you to dinner."

Sun Xingbei took the initiative to extend an invitation.

Wei Lin shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "I made plans with my friends earlier, and I'm not free tonight, so there's no need to be so polite."

"What about tomorrow? We're free anyway, tomorrow's fine too," Sun Xingbei said again.

"I haven't had time lately, never mind."

Wei Lin knew what she was thinking, and having just heard Peng Xiang complain about her, he didn't bother to say anything more to her. As soon as the elevator stopped on the first floor, he walked away.

Sun Xingbei was about to give chase when she suddenly saw Wang Xiaolong's phone call.

As soon as the call connected, Wang Xiaolong coldly shouted, "Don't bother Wei Lin!"

……

At noon, Wei Lin took Shen Yanfei to lunch at the IFC Mall, and then they went shopping together.

He didn't care about Wang Xiaolong and Sun Xingbei's affair at all.

He chose to come during the May Day holiday, partly because of Peng Xiang's invitation, and partly to avoid the women's travel plans.

Having learned about Kunpeng's situation in detail today, he was temporarily relieved, knowing that without external interference, Kunpeng's future would surely be smooth sailing.

Four p.m.

Wei Lin, carrying several luxury shopping bags, continued to encourage Shen Yanfei to spend more, saying with a smile, "Don't try to save me money. You know I still have a little bit of money."

In less than three hours, he had already spent over 100,000 yuan.

He would go into any store that Shen Yanfei showed interest in, and if she looked at something for more than a second, he would ask the sales assistant to buy it for her.

Spending money and shopping can quickly increase affection points.

At this moment, the affection value quietly reached 33074, with Shen Yanfei contributing nearly 300 points in a short period of time.

For Wei Lin, breakthroughs in the Affection Points system could bring more wonders, and accumulating Affection Points quickly through money was definitely worthwhile.

"I feel bad that I've spent too much of your money."

Shen Yanfei linked arms with him, her eyes filled with love.

Secretly, she and her two stepmothers had already shared today's spoils, making Ge Shuang and Jiang Yundie extremely envious.

Wei Lin said nonchalantly, "It's just a small amount of money, it doesn't matter."

Shen Yanfei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take another look."

That evening, Wei Lin had no other plans, so he took Shen Yanfei shopping and then to a high-end restaurant for dinner.

He had promised Fu Jintang and his daughter that he would have dinner with Gao Yuan the next evening, so he thought he should try his best to please Shen Yanfei today, so that she wouldn't be unhappy if he didn't spend time with her tomorrow.

At 9:30 PM, Affection Value: 33363.

Shen Yanfei, who spent time and effort accompanying him, naturally contributed the most affection points, followed by Ling Yao, Zhuang Qing, and Lin Nanxi, and then Liu Yue and Hua Hongshan.

"It's still too slow, too far from 50,000." In the rooftop bar, Wei Lin held a cocktail called "Negroni" and looked out at the neon lights in deep thought.

Suddenly, Ma Yungui called, his tone somewhat grave: "Wei Lin, I heard from a leader I know today that someone is planning to investigate the past of our Xingui Investment."

Wei Lin asked softly, "Who?"

"It's not clear yet, but I think..."

Ma Yungui smiled bitterly and said, "I think it's Zhao Ling who's behind this. I've had contact with her and I know her methods. Since she warned me and I didn't listen, she's bound to do something."

Wei Lin's face darkened: "Uncle Ma, will this cause trouble?"

The current elites have no problems, but Ma Yungui's past was not clean. If someone is determined to dig into his past, they can indeed find a lot of things.

"I'm not sure, let me take a look first."

Ma Yungui's tone wasn't very relaxed, but he still forced a smile and said, "We've been rooted in Linjiang City and Jiangsu Province for so many years, and we have our own connections and relationships. Zhao Ling isn't from Jiangsu Province, so I don't believe she can cause any big trouble."

Wei Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "If anything really happens, Uncle Ma, you need to let me know in time so I can think of a solution."

Qin Wei, Huo Jiaxiong, Mu Qingshan, and others all owe him favors to some extent, so if he asks for help, someone should respond.

Ma Yungui smiled and said, "I understand."

……

Friday, July 5th.

Affection level: 33574/50000.

Life Energy: 1370/5000.

Wei Lin was woken up by An Yuntian's phone call in the morning.

"Wei Lin, apart from Jinxiu Boutique, all the shopping malls and supermarkets that cooperated with us have refused to continue their cooperation!"

"What on earth happened? It's so strange, it's like they all made a pact to stop taking our goods!"

"Wei Lin, have you offended someone?"

An Yuntian said impatiently on the phone.

Tianhua Trading's reneging has thrown his side into complete disarray.

Furthermore, the fact that supermarkets like Feixiong and Maihui unanimously refused to cooperate only added to his predicament.

Xinlin's hats sell very well in offline stores and supermarkets, and are the most stable source of orders.

Their change of heart made An Yuntian very anxious, because they had just acquired Tianzhong as their new factory, and their current production capacity was very high.

"Uncle An, it's alright, let's keep things calm."

Wei Lin kindly advised him to continue working step by step, promising to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

After An Yuntian, Hua Hongshan also called.

She said her situation was similar to An Yuntian's. Qingque Clothing, sold through Xinlin channels in shopping malls and stores, also suffered the same predicament as the hat brand.

—The other parties all refused to continue cooperation.

With Lai Yi working overtime, Qingque produced a lot of new products and inventory, which urgently needed to be sold off quickly.

Like An Yuntian, she was also worried about sales problems, which caused Qingque to accumulate too much inventory.

"I understand, I will handle it as soon as possible."

Wei Lin frowned, comforted Hua Hongshan again, and his face gradually turned gloomy.

"Zhao Ling!"

……

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Qin Wei, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time, unexpectedly called and said bluntly, "Wei Lin, have you offended someone? Someone is trying to cause trouble for Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical because you and Han Jie invested in it."

Wei Lin didn't hide anything and said with a wry smile, "Brother Qin, it's a woman named Zhao Ling. She seems to have some influence in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, but I didn't expect her to extend her reach into our Jiangsu Province."

Qin Wei muttered, "Shencheng, Guangcheng, Zhao Ling? Surname Zhao?"

Wei Lin hummed in agreement.

"Okay, I think I understand."

Qin Wei immediately realized Zhao Ling's background and said in a deep voice, "Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical was a collaboration that I spearheaded. With my family's connections in Jiangsu Province and Jinling City, Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical will not encounter any problems."

"Wei Lin, be careful. Don't hesitate to talk to me if you encounter any problems you can't solve."

"Don't worry, I still have a lot of influence in our province!"

Qin Wei said solemnly.

A warm feeling welled up in Wei Lin's heart, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Qin, I've got it!"

Under Zhao Ling's strong pressure, Ma Yungui chose to confront her head-on. Gao Yuan ignored him, Li Rongcan also ignored him, and now Qin Wei is also giving him his full support.

"I just didn't give her face, and she's going to make things difficult for me?"

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lin couldn't help but picture Zhao Ling in his mind, secretly wondering whether he should expend some of his life essence to check on Zhao Ling's situation.

"Don't rush, let's wait and see what other tricks she has up her sleeve."

Having consumed too much life essence in a single attempt, Wei Lin ultimately decided to give up and planned to ask Fu Yunbiao about it that evening.
