30: Chapter 30: No Big Deal!
Lin Wanhao was stunned.
Zhao, is there a mistake?
I didn’t leak any information!”
Then where did the news on the internet come from?”
Upon hearing this, the Lin Family members quickly checked their phones.
Indeed, several local media outlets in Yancheng had already published related reports.
All the accusations were directly pointing to the Lin Family’s unfair competition.
The faces of the Lin Family members instantly changed.
Lin Wanhao stuttered as he spoke.
Zhao, about this issue…
I also don’t know what happened.
Besides our own family members, we didn’t tell anyone else…”
As he said this, Lin Wanhao suddenly realized something.
Zhao, may I ask if this project was awarded to our family because You Wan spoke on our behalf?”
Zhao Heng responded coldly.
“What status does he have?
How could he have such influence?”
The Lin Family members were all stunned.
so, my family getting the banquet invitation has nothing to do with You Wan either?”
“Hmph, wasn’t I clear enough earlier?
What standing does You Wan have?
Is it his place to meddle in whom the Zhao Family invites to their private banquet?”
“Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t think that way.”
Zhao Heng was furious.
Had it not been for Zhou Yu’s intervention, he really wouldn’t have wanted to award this project to the Lin Family.
Why are small families small families?
To put it nicely, it’s because they haven’t expanded their vision; to put it bluntly, it’s because they are foolish.
Many problems arise when tasks are given to small families, a living example right here.
Lin Wanhao’s face flushed bright red and he became speechless.
At that moment, Lin Chaodong quickly spoke up:
Zhao, I am Lin Chaodong.
We’ve made a mistake in this matter, please reconsider, our Lin Family will definitely find a way to make amends.”
With what will you make amends?”
Zhao Heng slightly angrily said:
“For an affair , all you needed was to quietly make money from it, instead of flaunting it everywhere.
Once it becomes public knowledge, not only will your Lin Family lose the project, but also my Zhao Family will be dragged through the mud.”
Zhao Heng angrily hung up the phone.
The Lin Family members were dumbfounded.
Nobody spoke anymore; the atmosphere in the living room became incredibly tense.
Lin Chaodong slammed his hand on the table.
He glared at Lin Wanhao.
“Speak up, weren’t you very fierce just now?
Why are you silent now?”
“If you had listened to Zhou Yu’s advice, would this situation have arisen?”
Lin Wanhao’s face alternated between green and red.
He had been biased against Zhou Yu before; not to mention taking his advice, he felt disgusted even hearing his voice.
But now, the facts proved that Zhou Yu’s initial warning was correct.
“Father, this matter…
who knew that old scoundrel You Wan would be so shameless, blatantly taking credit for something he hadn’t done, and even accepting my gifts…”
“He took you for a big fool, and you still don’t understand?”
Lin Chaodong trembled with anger.
“Now look, not only is the project scrapped, but our Lin Family has also offended the Zhao Family.
With Zongsheng Group also coveting us from the sidelines, how much longer can the Lin Family survive in Yancheng?”
Lin Wanhao turned pale and fell to his knees with a ‘thud’.
Lin Luoluo quickly spoke up.
“Grandpa, stop scolding for now; Dad realizes his mistake.
We should think about how to deal with this now.”
“There might still be a way to remedy the situation.”
Lin Chaodong glared at Lin Wanhao, then turned to look at Zhou Yu.
“Zhou Yu, at this point, scolding him won’t help.
Do you have any good ideas?”
Lin Wanhao had no choice but to put aside his previous prejudices, looking at Zhou Yu with a begging expression.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
“Old man, in my opinion, this issue isn’t really that big of a deal.”
Lin Wanhao instinctively roared.
But the next moment, he felt a chilling gaze from Lin Chaodong.
“What I mean is, this matter…
it concerns the survival of the Lin Family, so it should be considered a big deal.”
Lin Chaodong’s fist clenched with a crackle.
Lin Wanhao quickly bowed his head.
“Zhou Yu, what do you mean?”
Zhou Yu continued to smile:
“If this issue were really serious, the Zhao Family would have taken action by now, yet they still had time to call the Lin Family, indicating that this issue is not so severe.”
“Their call was merely a warning to the Lin Family, urging them to be extremely cautious in dealings related to this project in the future.”
Lin Chaodong and Lin Luoluo and others were startled.
“Yes, with the power of the Zhao Family, if they couldn’t suppress such rumors, then the Zhao Family would be too weak.”
Although what Zhou Yu said seemed right, the Lin Family still felt uneasy.
Lin Chaodong hesitated for a moment.
“Zhou Yu, according to you, does the Lin Family need to do nothing?”
Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile:
“That’s not exactly the case; you should at least make a formal apology.
Lin to the Zhao Family, and there should be no problems.”
Lin Chaodong thought about it, lacking any other options for the time being, then he nodded.
“Fine, then go right away.”
