Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Won’t Disgrace Dongyan Guild_1

"You guys keep chatting, I’ll go cook." Xu Lian rose to head to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

"Mom, I’ll help you." Lin Shulei got up and said.

"Auntie, let me help too." Chen Yuyan followed suit, rising from her seat.

Both of them were skilled at cooking.

"No need, no need. You all keep talking, I’ve already prepared the vegetables. They just need to be stir-fried, no help needed." Xu Lian declined firmly, encouraging them to sit back down.

Having no choice, Lin Shulei and Chen Yuyan gave up the idea.

When Xu Lian was almost done cooking, Xie Lan left with Ha Xiaoya.

Xu Lian had wanted them to stay for the meal, but Xie Lan understood that today was for entertaining her son-in-law’s family and there would likely be many things to discuss; it wouldn’t be convenient for the two of them to be around.

Just as Xie Lan and Ha Xiaoya left, the door opened.

"Dad, sis." A man in his thirties, bearing a resemblance to Lin Shulei, walked in.

This was Lin Shulei’s younger brother, Lin Kaiyang.

Lin Kaiyang was two years younger than Lin Shulei and was now thirty-seven, his children already in elementary school.

He was dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, looking somewhat weary.

"Kaiyang..." Lin Shulei beckoned her brother over and introduced Chen Yuanxiang and the others to him.

"Kaiyang, why didn’t Yuqing come back with you?" Lin Shulei asked.

Fang Yuqing was Lin Kaiyang’s wife and a technical staffer at the same company as him.

"Sis, Yuqing wanted to come back too, but we’re really swamped at the company right now. It wasn’t easy for me to even get away," Lin Kaiyang explained with a wry smile.

"Alright then." Lin Shulei was helpless but understood her brother and sister-in-law’s situation.

The two had been busy since the end of last year.

At twelve o’clock, it was mealtime.

The dishes Xu Lian cooked were all specialties from Hu Province.

The cuisine from Hu Province and Chuan Province has one thing in common: they’re spicy.

She wanted to cater to the tastes of Chen Yuanxiang and his party, to make it lighter,

But Lin Shulei said that Chen Yuanxiang and his group could handle spicy food well, so she went ahead with the Hu Province cooking style.

Shen Dong and his party tasted authentic Hu Province cuisine; it felt a bit spicy but still very delightful.

After eating, the family sat down to drink tea and chat.

"Brother-in-law, sorry, my company’s really busy lately, I have to head back to work tomorrow morning. I can’t keep you company this time, but next time you visit, when I’m not busy, I’ll make sure to show you around Sha City properly," Lin Kaiyang apologized.

"No problem at all, you go ahead with your work. I’ve heard from Shulei you’re into tech. Which company are you with?" Chen Yuanxiang inquired.

"I work at a poultry company, mainly responsible for technical tasks," Lin Kaiyang said, without elaborating on the specific nature of his technical work, which would only be understood by industry insiders, making it unnecessary to mention.

"Bro Kaiyang, what’s the name of your company?" Shen Dong asked, eyebrows raised in curiosity, wondering if Lin Kaiyang might be working at the poultry company he was considering investing in.

He knew that there was only one notable poultry company in Sha City, which was the one he was interested in investing in.

True to Shen Dong’s guess, Lin Kaiyang’s next words confirmed his suspicion.

Lin Kaiyang said, "It’s called Dacheng Group. Mr. Shen, are you familiar with the poultry industry?"

Shen Dong nodded and smiled, "Not only am I familiar with the poultry industry, but I’ve also done an in-depth study of your Dacheng Group. One of the reasons I’m here in Sha City is to visit your company for an inspection."

"Inspection?" Lin Kaiyang was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood, "Mr. Shen, are you planning to invest in our company?"

As a key technical personnel of the company’s core technology, he naturally knew the difficulties the company was facing and that the company was seeking financing to overcome the tough times.

"Yes, based on my research and analysis, I think your company is quite good; it’s just facing some temporary financial difficulties. Since you’re a key member of your company’s core technical team, I’d like to get some information from you. Would that be okay?" Shen Dong said.

"Of course." Lin Kaiyang said excitedly, "Mr. Shen, your decision to invest in our company is absolutely wise. Our company possesses the core technology for poultry farming, and we’re also researching new chicken-farming technologies. The project I’m currently in charge of is a new type of vaccine. If successful, injecting it into young chickens will significantly reduce the incidence of disease and increase growth speed by ten percent without any side effects. This will greatly reduce our breeding costs. There’s no problem for our company to grow into one of the top industry players."

If Shen Dong invested, the company could stabilize its operations, which would also be good for him.

What he said was also true, and he was optimistic about the company’s development.

"Good, I believe you." With Lin Kaiyang’s words, Shen Dong felt even more confident.

Actually, Shen Dong was just making idle conversation and gathering a bit more information.

Since the system had said that Dacheng Group could develop into the third-ranking company in the industry, there was certainly no issue.

Shen Dong then said, "Brother Yang, since you’re going back to the company tomorrow morning, I might as well go with you."

"No problem at all," Lin Kaiyang replied with a smile.

In the afternoon, around two o’clock, Xie Lan came with her granddaughter Ha Xiaoya.

Ha Xiaoya’s main objective this time was to see Shen Dong.

She wanted to ask if she could join the Dongyan Guild.

Now that she had such a connection, it was important to utilize it well.

Earlier during the casual conversation, Xu Lian had already informed Shen Dong about Ha Xiaoya wanting to join the Dongyan Guild. Shen Dong had even checked out Ha Xiaoya’s Doule profile and watched some of her short videos, finding them quite good.

Being able to reach three hundred thousand fans on her own spoke volumes of Ha Xiaoya’s efforts and talent.

With the company’s support, becoming a million-follower internet celebrity wouldn’t be difficult.

So, when Ha Xiaoya brought it up, Shen Dong agreed immediately and made a call to Wang Jingpeng, explaining Ha Xiaoya’s situation.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen," Ha Xiaoya said joyfully, excitedly waving her little fists.

Sha City had many internet celebrities.

The national rectification and Doule’s clean-up had impacted the careers of many guild-affiliated internet celebrities.

Many of them wanted to join the Dongyan Guild.

Ha Xiaoya knew that a female internet celebrity with a million followers had applied to join the Dongyan Guild and had been rejected.

With just three hundred thousand fans, she could imagine how difficult it would be to join the Dongyan Guild.

Now, having met Shen Dong, she could join directly.

It must be said, sometimes, connections are very important.

If it weren’t for this relationship, her chances of joining the Dongyan Guild would have been slim.

"Check your account backend, the application should be approved," Shen Dong said.

Wang Jingpeng had said it would be processed immediately.

Ha Xiaoya quickly took out her phone, opened Doule, and checked her background information. Her eyes lit up and she began dancing with excitement.

"Approved, my application’s been approved!"

"Mr. Shen, thank you. Rest assured, I will achieve results and won’t let the Dongyan Guild down," Ha Xiaoya assured, waving her fists.

"Good, I believe you," Shen Dong said with a smile and a nod.
