Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

I can only say that dinner parties for rich people are really troublesome.

Suddenly, Zheng Yujian changed the subject, looked at Chen Chen and asked:

"Xiao Chen, since you are Mu Xi's boyfriend, you must know some of the recent developments of the Lin Group, right?

I heard that Lin's is planning some new business expansion, I wonder how it's going?"

This sudden question made everyone's attention focus on Chen Chen, and the atmosphere in the restaurant instantly became tense.

Chen Chen's heart trembled slightly. He had expected that Zheng Yujian would not easily let go of any opportunity to obtain information, but he did not expect that the other party would throw the question to him so directly.

How does he know what Lin’s recent movements are?
I guess even Xiaoxi doesn’t know.

This person is really interesting.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, he remained calm and composed, with a faint smile on his face, and said calmly:
"Boss Zheng, although I have established a relationship with Mu Xi, I usually attend classes at school, so I don't know much about the specific business development within Lin's.

Besides, everyone has their own expertise, so I won’t rashly interfere in Mu Xi’s family affairs.”

Zheng Yujian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Chen with a half-smile.

"I didn't expect you, Xiao Chen, to still be a student. However, you're being too modest. Mu Xi is the apple of Lin Haotian's eye. As her boyfriend, how could you possibly be so clueless about the Lin family's affairs?"

Seeing this, Lin Haotian was secretly annoyed by Zheng Yujian's relentless pressure. He smiled and said,

"Old Zheng, Xiao Chen is telling the truth. They are still young and studying. Besides, young people have their own careers to pursue and won't interfere too much in the company's affairs.

Let's have a good meal and talk about something else lighthearted."

Zheng Yujian did not give up, but continued:

"Haotian, I'm not deliberately trying to embarrass Xiao Chen. I'm also concerned about the development of the Lin Group. After all, we've been friends for so many years.
If Lin's company has a suitable project, I would also like to contribute to my old friend and make money together."

Guo Xiwen listened from the side and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It was obvious that Zheng Yujian had other intentions.

On the surface, he said he cared about and wanted to help, but in fact he just wanted to get a piece of the pie from Lin Haotian.

She couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Zheng, what you said makes sense. However, business matters require the right time, right place, and right people. When the time is right, Haotian will definitely not forget you, his old friend.

Eat first, don't just talk, the food will get cold."

Lin Muxi was also a little displeased that Zheng Yujian kept holding on to this topic, and said to Zheng Yujian:

"Uncle Zheng, please don't make things difficult for my boyfriend. Let's just have a happy meal."

Seeing that everyone was trying to change the subject, Zheng Yujian didn't want to continue asking questions, so he laughed:
"Okay, okay, I was too impatient. Come on, everyone, pick up your chopsticks. This dish looks really good."

However, the atmosphere at the table did not really ease up because of Zheng Yujian's words.

Although everyone started eating, they all had their own thoughts.

Chen Chen silently observed Zheng Huairen's every move. He knew that behind this seemingly casual dinner, there might be a deeper conspiracy.

While eating, Zheng Yujian began to mention some of Lin's past cooperation projects and competitors in the industry, trying to dig out more valuable information from everyone's reactions.

Lin Haotian and Guo Xiwen responded cautiously, trying not to reveal too much key information. Lin Muxi felt a little annoyed. What had been a good dinner had been turned into a tense affair by Zheng Yujian.

She secretly glanced at Chen Chen and saw that he was still calm and composed, as if the tense atmosphere had no effect on him.

I was secretly relieved.

At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Zheng Yujian seriously and said:
“Mr. Zheng, although I don’t know much about Lin’s specific business, I believe that whether it is Lin’s or other companies, they need reliable partners in the process of development.

You and Uncle Lin have been friends for many years. I believe Uncle Lin recognizes your abilities and character.

However, I think cooperation requires sincerity and mutual benefit, isn't that right?"

Zheng Yujian was slightly startled. He didn't expect Chen Chen to suddenly say such a thing. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly nodded and said:

"Xiao Chen, you're right. Cooperation must be sincere."

Chen Chen continued, "In that case, I believe that if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, Lin's and Mr. Zheng's company will definitely be able to achieve a pleasant cooperation."

Hearing this, Zheng Yujian was stunned. What did he mean?
Could it be that he was blaming me for coming uninvited and disturbing his pleasure of meeting his future father-in-law for the first time?

Zheng Yujian narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, this Chen Chen is quite something.

After dinner, Zheng Yujian did not stay any longer and left on the pretext of having something else to deal with.

As Zheng Yujian's figure disappeared at the door, Guo Xiwen could no longer hold back her inner doubts. She turned to look at Lin Haotian and said with a bit of urgency and worry in her tone:
"Lao Lin, you're not really planning to cooperate with him, are you?"

Lin Haotian frowned slightly and said:
“I’m not crazy. I really feel that I have too much money to spend and want to cooperate with him.

But you also know that the power behind him cannot be underestimated, we can't just go and offend them like this."

Chen Chen and Lin Muxi listened to their conversation quietly. They looked at each other subconsciously, and they understood each other tacitly, and neither of them said anything.

Chen Chen had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Lin's company. He felt that it had little to do with him, so he didn't want to know more about it.

As for Lin Muxi...

At this time, Lin Haotian retracted his gaze and fell on Lin Muxi, his eyes full of love and expectation, and he said earnestly:

"Xiaoxi, although the affairs of this company are complicated, it will always be beneficial for you to understand them earlier.

When you graduate, come and help Dad share the burden. Dad is old, and the future is counting on you."

Lin Muxi frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said softly:

“Dad, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not sure how interested I am in the company’s affairs.

Now I still want to focus on my studies and learn all the knowledge I need to learn."

Lin Haotian was slightly startled, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Dad knows that your studies must come first. I'm just learning about the company in advance. It won't interfere with your studies. When you really join the company in the future, you'll be able to get started faster, right?
Besides, this company will be handed over to you sooner or later, so Daddy has to pave the way for you in advance."

Chen Chen listened quietly without interrupting. (End of this chapter)
