Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 26 - 0: It’s okay if you’re at a loss, I’ll help you cover it.
After the meeting had ended, it was rare for her to finish reading the project proposals submitted by the various departments in the office.
Only then did Lin Yue notice someone had mentioned her in the WeChat group.
The group’s name was "Family Harmony Brings Prosperity."
Inside were members of the Lin Family, including her eldest uncle Lin Langsheng’s family, her third uncle Xu Zhenyu’s family, and the newly joined Xu Dong and his parents.
Lin Yue saw Xu Dong sending out red packets.
The amount was not small either.
At the same time, he @everyone and said, "I went to the Pudong district today and managed to secure the operating license for the night market. When you’re free, let’s all go out for a meal."
Lin Qin @Lin Yue and asked, "Sis, why don’t you add your brother-in-law to the group?"
Lin Yu: "+1"
Xu Dong: "Yeah, big sis, you should add our brother-in-law to the group. I haven’t thanked my brother-in-law yet."
Lin Yue, holding her phone, typed, "Thank him for what? He didn’t do much at the wedding. You should thank Little Yu for taking you to Zhao Xinming." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Lin Yu: "@Lin Yue, big sis, let’s not mention that person; bad luck."
Lin Yue: "???"
Lin Yu: "That guy completely disrespected me that night, outright rejected the second brother-in-law in front of me!"
Lin Langsheng was also looking at his phone and became curious when he saw what Lin Yu said, "Who did you ask to help Xu Dong then?"
He was puzzled because Zhao Xinming’s father was in charge of overseeing the economic work in the Pudong district. If Zhao Xinming had directly refused Lin Yu, the Lin Family would have almost no way to get it done.
But Xu Dong sending red packets and offering to treat everyone to a meal clearly indicated that he had indeed solved the problem of opening the shop!
Lin Yu: "@Lin Yue, you are so wise to have foreseen our visit to Zhao Xinming, and thus you made me bring our brother-in-law, right? (smile)"
Xu Dong: "Without the brother-in-law, this deal would really have fallen through."
Lin Yue: "???"
Lin Yue at the company was a little confused.
She saw Lin Yu continue in the group chat: "That night, the third most important person’s son from the city, Liu Jin, was in the next room. I went to toast Zhao Xinming, and I had the second brother-in-law pay their bill. When Liu Jin and his friends came to our private room to return the toast, it happened that Liu Jin’s friend from Beijing knew my brother-in-law."
Xu Dong chimed in: "With Zhao Xinming watching, my brother-in-law brought up my issue to Liu Jin, who didn’t give Zhao Xinming face and agreed to help me on the spot. The next day, Liu Jin had the city’s project manager get in touch with me, giving me the green light to complete everything in just one day!"
Lin Yu: "I can’t tell you how satisfying it was to see Zhao Xinming’s deflated expression. I felt like kowtowing to my brother-in-law right then and there (dog head)"
Xu Dong: "I could see it too, brother-in-law definitely did it on purpose (wink)"
Lin Yue watched the two of them chattering excitedly while she herself was utterly baffled and asked, "What’s the background of the person Gu Feng knows?"
Lin Yu: "I don’t know the details, only that he’s from Beijing and works for a company called ’Ling Feng’ Group."
Lin Yue paused looking at her phone.
She knew this group, an investment firm from Beijing, which was well-known among the local capital in Jiangcheng.
In the past year, Ling Feng Group had been acting as a middleman in many development projects across Jiangcheng.
Many government projects were outsourced to this group, who were responsible for organizing projects through bidding with private companies.
Local real estate and industrial firms had all dealt with this group before.
Lin Langsheng certainly knew about the group, too. After reading the chat history between Lin Yu and Xu Dong, he went home and directly asked his son Lin Yu, "You said Liu Jin didn’t give Zhao Xinming face?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Zhao Xinming left before the drinking was over."
Lin Langsheng pondered deeply.
His wife Zhao Yanrong brewed him some tea and brought it over, reminding him, "Even if the Zhao family’s relationship with the Liu Family becomes strained because of Zhao Xinming, don’t forget you still have 15 competitors in the district. It won’t be easy to move up to the city level."
"I’ve never thought about making it big in the city overnight; I’d be content with making just a little progress in the district," Lin Langsheng said with a wry smile, "Right now, I’m caught in a difficult position as the third-in-charge. The second-in-charge is grasping tight control over my economic work, and it feels like I’m being sidelined."
"Plainly speaking, it’s because I lack a strong backing. Otherwise, would the second-in-charge dare to disregard and sideline me like this?"
Lin Langsheng was very frustrated.
This was why Lin Hai was seeking support from Beijing for his brother.
Unexpectedly, the Su Family was also struggling to preserve their own interests and chose to sacrifice their car to save their knight.
"Dad, I think we really can only rely on big sis at this point," Lin Yu said abruptly, "I don’t think the relationship between the two from Ling Feng Group and our brother-in-law is that simple. They always call our brother-in-law ’Feng’."
"What I mean is, you and aunt shouldn’t try to set big sis up with anyone anymore. What if our brother-in-law finds out and gets angry?"
Zhao Yanrong chimed in from the side, "I agree with what Xiao Yu said. Old Lin, you should also talk to the Zhang Family (the family introducing a suitor to Lin Yue)."
Lin Langsheng said, "This wasn’t my idea in the first place; it was Liu Yan who asked me to look around. She was quite pleased with Gu Feng at the wedding, and we decided right then to cancel the arrangement for them to meet."
When Lin Yue returned home, she expected Gu Feng to be there.
She wanted to ask him how he knew the people from Ling Feng Group.
But Gu Feng wasn’t there.
Gu Feng was at the company when he received Lin Yue’s call.
Lin Yue: "Why aren’t you coming home so late?"
Gu Feng: "A little busy, might not come back, what’s up? Something wrong?"
Lin Yue: "Nothing much, just worried you might take my mom’s money and run, so I called to see if you’d answer."
Gu Feng: "Don’t worry, won’t run away. I’m busy at the company trying to make more money for our mom."
Lin Yue, holding her phone, smiled slightly: "Just don’t lose any."
Gu Feng: "What if I do?"
Lin Yue: "It doesn’t matter if you do, just not too much. I’ll cover it for you, consider it for helping Qin’s family get the night market operating license."
Gu Feng just smiled and didn’t say anything more.
After Lin Yue hung up the phone,
She looked at the several car keys in her bag and dialed another call to Lin Yu.
"Little Yu, do you know where your brother-in-law’s company is? Come over tomorrow morning and drive my big G over to him as a stand-in car."
