Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 312 You can’t beat me
"Dad, is this something a real father would say? When have I ever played with other people's feelings?" Cheng Yi immediately complained.

Chu Yue'e glared at Cheng Jianshu and said, "Be careful of your influence in front of the younger generation."

"No more talking." Cheng Jianshu quickly surrendered.

When Jiang Aiguo heard that Cheng Yi had a girlfriend, he seemed quite disappointed. He glanced at his daughter secretly and sighed in his heart.

As the food and wine were served, Jiang Aiguo's disappointment quickly disappeared.

A drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.

Cheng Jian didn't drink tonight. He has a car now, and after dinner he wanted to drive out for a ride.

Throughout the dinner table, only Jiang Aiguo and Cheng Jianshu were clinking glasses and drinking happily.

At eight o'clock, a burst of lively and cheerful music sounded on TV. Soon, a male announcer shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Dear audience friends, hello! At this wonderful moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Starcom Group sincerely wishes you all a happy new year and all the best!"

As the opening remarks sounded, it meant that the Handong Province Spring Festival Gala officially began.

Cheng Yi walked to the TV with a steamed bun and began to look for information about Starcom Group in the Spring Festival Gala.

It has to be said that the provincial TV station gave sponsors a lot of exposure. The tables in the auditorium, the logo in the right corner of the TV, and even the host's microphone were all printed with the Starcom Group's logo.

After this Spring Festival Gala, Cheng Yi is not sure whether Starcom Group has become a household name, but Xiaolingtong has definitely become a household name.

Cheng Yi was chewing on a steamed bun while thinking about how to leverage the force.

Starcom Group is really a good group.

Their sponsorship is equivalent to warming up for their Xixi Lingdong live broadcast room tomorrow.

We must find a way to catch this wave of traffic, otherwise we will be unworthy of the 20 million sponsorship fee from Starcom Group.

Cheng Yi was thinking about how to better attract traffic when his cell phone rang.

It’s Lin Qingyin’s call.

Cheng Yi was about to speak when he heard Lin Shengdong's voice: "I heard from Lin Qingyin that you are also from Dongcang County?"

"Yes." Cheng Yi responded.

Lin Shengdong was silent for a while and said, "Are you free? Let's chat."

"available."

Lin Shengdong said, "8:40, at the park next to the roundabout."

Lin Shengdong hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Cheng Yi held his cell phone tightly in his hand, feeling nervous. Ever since he was ambushed by his adopted nephew Xu Dongsheng, he has become very cautious.

Xu Dongsheng used a pair of iron fists to prove to Cheng Yi that this was 2001, not 2024.

What was Lin Shengdong looking for me for on the first night of the new year? And why did he choose the park on Zhuanpan Road?
There is a river next to the park on the roundabout road. Could it be that he wants to drown himself?

"What's wrong?" Cheng Jian noticed that Cheng Yi was acting strangely and walked over to ask.

Cheng Yi whispered, "Lin Shengdong asked me to meet him at the park on Zhuanpan Road tonight."

"Lin Shengdong?" Cheng Jian asked in surprise, "Could he be the richest man in our county?"

"That's him." Cheng Yi said, "My girlfriend is his daughter."

"Banwan, you're really awesome." Cheng Jian asked in surprise, "Does he approve of you and his daughter?"

"I don't agree." Cheng Yi replied.

Cheng Jian thought for a moment and whispered, "That's not good. Lin Shengdong is a well-connected person in Dongcang County. If he comes to you now, he's either going to give you 20 yuan to get you to leave his daughter, or he's going to put you in a sack and throw you into the moat. I can't think of a third possibility."

"Then I won't go?" Cheng Yi thought the same as Cheng Jian.

Dongcang County is not his home ground, so there is no need to put himself in danger.

Cheng Jian said, "If you don't go, will he come directly to your door?"

Cheng Yi thought about it and felt that this was possible, so he said, "Why don't we go and take a look?"

"Come on, I'll go with you. I'll park my car next to the park and leave it running. If I see you in danger, I'll run them over." Cheng Jian lowered his voice and said, "With my Santana's 2000 horsepower, even if he sends a platoon, I can still take out three squads."

"Okay." Cheng Yi nodded, ran to the kitchen, got a plastic bag, and poured all the chili powder and pepper in the house into it.

To be safe, he picked up a fruit knife and tucked it into his clothes.

"Where are you going?" Chu Yue'e looked at Cheng Jian and Cheng Yi with confusion.

Cheng Jian smiled and said, "Someone has an appointment with Ban Wan, I'll go with him to take a look."

"Can't we just invite them home?" Chu Yue'e asked.

"Mom, that's not appropriate. I'll be back soon." Cheng Yi smiled.

"Okay, then you guys please be careful." Although Chu Yue'e was confused, she also knew that young people have their own world.

"It's New Year's Day, so don't fight with others." Chu Yue'e didn't forget to give instructions before leaving.

In this era when fighting among children is commonplace, this is probably the most worrying thing for parents.

Especially Cheng Jian, as the leader of the kids in several nearby streets, he had no idea how many fights he had since he was a child, and he often came home with a bruised face.

At that time, Cheng Yi was young and followed Cheng Jian and other older kids like a pair of slippers.

Every time there was a group fight, he would carry a small stick and poke this and that on the periphery.

When he was in an advantageous position, Cheng Yi took full advantage.

But once he is at a disadvantage, Cheng Yi is the one who gets beaten the hardest.

Because he was young and ran slowly when escaping, he was often caught and beaten until he screamed.

Cheng Jian started the car, circled the roundabout a few times, and then circled the park. After making sure there was no ambush, Cheng Jian said, "We haven't seen anyone yet, but we can't let our guard down. Maybe two vans will come and take you away."

"Yeah." Cheng Yi looked down at the time. It was now 8:27, and there were still 13 minutes until the agreed time.

Cheng Jian parked the car at the side of the roundabout, facing the park not far away. He said, "See that little pavilion right in front of us? You'll talk to him there in a minute. If that old man doesn't behave properly, I'll step on the gas and charge in."

"Okay." Cheng Yi opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the park pavilion. As soon as he reached the park pavilion, the familiar Millennium Mercedes-Benz drove towards the park.

The Millennium Mercedes-Benz stopped at the side of the park, the door opened, and only Lin Shengdong got out of the car.

"Uncle Lin, Happy New Year." Cheng Yi greeted Lin Shengdong.

There was no smile on Lin Shengdong's face. He did not shake hands with Cheng Yi, but walked straight into the pavilion and sat down.

Cheng Yi followed behind Lin Shengdong, looking around warily, but did not see any human figures for the time being.

Lin Shengdong sat in the pavilion and asked coldly, "How long have you been with my daughter?"

"More than six months." Cheng Yi sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and said, "The real confirmation of our relationship was when you called."

"I can feel that my daughter really cares about you." Lin Shengdong looked at Cheng Yi with gloomy eyes and said, "To be honest, I really want to kill you."

Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly became stern.

Businessmen like Lin Shengdong, who have risen step by step from the grassroots era, have more or less one or two lives on their hands.

In the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, one could not stand firm unless he was

If you are not ruthless, even street thugs can harass you and make your business unsustainable.

Lin Shengdong looked at Cheng Yi and said word by word: "I asked you about the process of your acquaintance with my daughter today. I can be 100% sure that you are taking advantage of my daughter!"

Cheng Yi and Lin Shengdong looked at each other and spoke frankly, "Uncle Lin, there are many things I can't explain to you too clearly, but I admit that when I first approached Lin Qingyin, I did have the idea of ​​using her because she was so talented in computers and I needed someone like her."

"What about now?" Lin Shengdong asked.

Cheng Yi said, "If you insist on a result, I'm afraid I can't give it to you now. In fact, I can't tell what I really feel towards Lin Qingyin. Love? Or pity? Or even a little bit of taking advantage of her."

Lin Shengdong didn't expect Cheng Yi to actually tell the truth. His eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and he stood up suddenly, shouting in a deep voice: "You can't tell what it feels like, why did you give my daughter such a result? Do you believe that I can really kill you?"

Cheng Yi looked at Lin Shengdong calmly and said, "Uncle Lin, if I tell you that I really like Lin Qingyin, will you believe it?"

Lin Shengdong was stunned.

Cheng Yi added: "Since you asked me out, I must give you a real answer. This answer must not only pass my heart, but also yours."

"You're such a mean person." Lin Shengdong sat down slowly, frowned, and asked, "If I asked you to stop contacting Lin Qingyin, how could you accept it?"

"Don't act in Hong Kong or Taiwan TV dramas for me." Cheng Yi said, "First, I'm not short of money. Second, I really can't leave Lin Qingyin now. She's been a huge help to me. No one can take her away from me, not even you."

Lin Shengdong and Cheng Yi looked at each other, and he saw a strong sense of confidence in Cheng Yi's eyes.

He's only 19 years old, huh? Where does this confidence come from?

Moreover, there was light in the young man's eyes.

Lin Shengdong looked up at the lights in the pavilion and felt that it might be the reflection of the lights.

Cheng Yi asked, "Uncle Lin, you asked me out just for this, right?"

Lin Shengdong did not answer Cheng Yi's words, and said: "Do you know who I am?"

"You are Lin Shengdong, the nominal richest man in Dongcang County." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "But your status as the richest man can't intimidate me. What is the richest man? The richest man is just a shield pushed forward by many invisible rich people. Throughout history, no matter whether it is Shen Wansan or Hu Xueyan or the richest men who have emerged in recent years, whoever is named the richest man will end up in a miserable end."

Cheng Yi’s words made Lin Shengdong’s heart skip a beat.

Since he became the richest man, his life has indeed been getting worse and worse.

He originally thought that Cheng Yi was from Dongcang, and that he could intimidate Cheng Yi with his reputation, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yi would teach him a lesson again.

Cheng Yi said, "You are Lin Qingyin's father, so I won't hide anything from you. I can tell you very clearly that you can't beat me. If you don't believe me, go to Jingzhou City and ask around."

Lin Shengdong was stunned.

Cheng Yi said: "You can ask me out, which means that Lin Qingyin still has a place in your heart. This is why I am willing to come and meet you. I just want to tell you that Lin Qingyin will bloom with her unique style in my presence. At the very least, she is no longer the timid and bullied little girl. So no matter what my mentality is for being with Lin Qingyin, Lin Qingyin's future will be better than now."

Although Lin Shengdong knew that Cheng Yi was right, as a father, he still could not accept Cheng Yi taking advantage of his daughter.

Lin Shengdong said in a deep voice: "Even if you are really powerful, it doesn't mean that I can allow you to hurt my daughter!"

Cheng Yi said coldly: "I have never hurt her. I have always been protecting her because you can't protect Lin Qingyin. If you can protect her, you won't send her away. If you can protect her, you won't let your son make things difficult for her."

Lin Shengdong knew that he couldn't intimidate Cheng Yi today. He was silent for a long time and said, "I won't say anything more. I came here this time because I hope you can promise that you won't touch my daughter until you are sure that you really like her!"

"Uncle Lin, your thinking is so feudal." Cheng Yi said, "I'm still a young man, do you think I'm the kind of guy who goes around casually? There are at least 80 girls in Handong University who want to pursue me, if not a hundred. I have always kept myself clean until now. Do you know why?"

Listening to Cheng Yi's pretentious words, Lin Shengdong really wanted to say: I know a very good old Chinese doctor.

However, he still held back.

Lin Shengdong looked at Cheng Yi and insisted, "I just want a promise from you."

"Okay, I promise. Until I'm sure that I really like Lin Qingyin, I won't touch her body, nor will I let her touch mine." Cheng Yi agreed.

"I hope you can keep your word." Lin Shengdong stood up and said, "I have to say, you are indeed very courageous. At first I thought you were afraid that I would attack you, so you didn't dare to come over."

"You are Lin Qingyin's biological father, how could I think that? In my heart, I always regard you as my uncle." Cheng Yi said sincerely.

Cheng Yi's words made Lin Shengdong feel much more comfortable.

At this moment, his impression of Cheng Yi improved a little. When this young man was not arrogant, he looked quite good.

Lin Shengdong said slowly: "I have prepared a little gift for you. Remember to bring it with you when you and Lin Qingyin return to Jingzhou City tomorrow."

After saying that, Lin Shengdong stretched out his hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Cheng Yi quickly shook Lin Shengdong's hand.

As soon as he put down his hand after shaking hands, the fruit knife hidden in his sleeve fell to the ground with a bang.

“…” Looking at the fruit knife on the ground, Lin Shengdong suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He looked up at Cheng Yi in shock, and heard Cheng Yi say embarrassedly: "I was peeling apples at home, and I left in such a hurry that I forgot to put down the fruit knife..."

"Yes, I believe it." Lin Shengdong nodded and left the park quickly.
