Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Banish the Lin Family

"Lu Youxi’s mouth could probably hoodwink ghosts until they’re crippled."

"After I found out it was Lin Jingshen’s doing, I conducted an in-depth investigation," Yu Zeqin said, indicating that as an excellent assistant, it was his job to anticipate the boss’s questions and solve them in advance, rather than waiting to look for answers after being asked.

At this point, Yu Zeqin calmly answered, "Lin Jingshen seems to harbor some unknown hostility towards Miss Lu. According to the people Lin Jingshen invited to spread the rumors and their roommate’s statements, if you knew about these rumors, you would definitely connect them to Miss Lu."

"But since you and Miss Lu ’have’ no connection, knowing about this matter would surely make you very angry. You might even think that Miss Lu is deliberately spreading these rumors to draw your attention," Yu Zeqin spoke, "But you would surely be disgusted by such behavior from Miss Lu and it could even affect the cooperation between Chengzhou and Little Pink Book. Furthermore, you might suppress Miss Lu because you are upset that she’s attempting to use you."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

"Is this something a normal person could think up?" Zhou Shuyan asked Yu Zeqin speechlessly.

Yu Zeqin: "..."

Look, it’s no use to me either. I don’t understand it.

"I remember, Lin Jingshen is supposed to be a second-generation rich kid, right?" Zhou Shuyan’s memory of Lin Jingshen was limited to that.

"Yes, his family runs Lin Group. Lin’s primarily operates in the real estate industry," Yu Zeqin pulled out the Lin Group’s files like magic, "They’re not top of the industry, but they’re mid-level."

"How’s Lin’s business doing lately?" Zhou Shuyan suddenly asked.

To Zhou Shuyan’s surprise, Yu Zeqin said, "How did you know that there’s trouble with Lin’s operations, and they’re deteriorating?"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Didn’t expect it to be that bad.

Zhou Shuyan curled his lip, "With Lin Jingshen’s brains, I suspect the rest of his family isn’t much better."

Yu Zeqin: "..."

"Lin Jingshen has two older brothers, both of whom hold important positions at Lin’s," Yu Zeqin explained, "Lin Jingshen’s father is still rather sane, just that his age makes him weary, and he has to consider the future. He has already started to groom a successor."

"However, Lin Jingshen’s brothers... seem even less capable than Lin Jingshen, and they’ve made some rather inappropriate decisions due to their intense infighting within the company," Yu Zeqin clarified, "Currently, President Lin is pinning his hopes on Lin Jingshen, finding him more reliable than his two brothers. Not long ago, Lin Jingshen arranged a marriage with the daughter of Jiangchen Construction, Jiang Zilin, and they are now engaged."

"So it seems President Lin really does have high hopes for Lin Jingshen," Zhou Shuyan’s mouth twitched.

Although Jiangchen Construction isn’t particularly outstanding, it’s similar to Lin’s, and a union between the two could be mutually beneficial.

Judging by the family that Mr. Lin chose for Lin Jingshen, it’s clear what he thinks of him.

"Yes," Yu Zeqin nodded.

However, judging by Lin Jingshen’s methods, Lin’s probably isn’t far from bankruptcy.

But Lin Jingshen is only a sophomore now, still young, and it’s unsure if he might improve in the future.

But that also depends on whether Zhou Shuyan wants to intervene.

If Zhou Shuyan does get involved, it’s unlikely that Lin Jingshen can make any progress.

Zhou Shuyan tapped his temple lightly, "Our Chengzhou operates in industries different from Lin’s. We don’t have business opportunities to interact."

"That’s right," Yu Zeqin nodded.

"Would the Lin Family have the opportunity to attend some of the events I participate in?" Zhou Shuyan asked again.

Yu Zeqin: "..."

CEO, you’re being very...

According to what the CEO’s wife says, what’s that word?

Oh right, Versailles.

You’re being very Versailles.

"There are few occasions when they do have the opportunity," Yu Zeqin said again.

Zhou Shuyan thought for a moment and said, "Put out the word that from now on, any event that wants to invite me, whether business or private, must not invite anyone from the Lin Family."

"I can’t guarantee I’ll attend, but the precondition for inviting me is not inviting the Lin Family," Zhou Shuyan said coldly.

"So you mean, they have the chance of you not attending if they invite you. But if their guest list includes anyone from the Lin Family, they won’t even have the right to invite you," Yu Zeqin confirmed.

Zhou Shuyan nodded in satisfaction, "That’s right, go and spread the word."

"Yes," Yu Zeqin nodded.

"There’s no need to specifically tell the Lin Family about this," Zhou Shuyan’s eyes gleamed coldly, "Once they realize they’re being excluded from everything, they should figure it out."

"I suspect it might take them a long time to realize that," Yu Zeqin couldn’t help but remind him.

Zhou Shuyan clicked his tongue, "Didn’t you say President Lin is still rational? Having one person with a brain is enough."

Yu Zeqin couldn’t help but curl his lips, "Yes."

"Right, go book a dining room at Dongshenglai, I’m inviting Qi Sishenn and a few others for dinner tonight," Zhou Shuyan told Yu Zeqin.

Dongshenglai was a hotel owned by the Shi Yusheng family, and it was more convenient for their gatherings to take place there.

"Yes."

Worried about disturbing Lu Youxi’s classes, Zhou Shuyan especially waited until the lunch break to call her and tell her about the meeting with Qi Sishenn and the others tonight.

"I mentioned before about getting to know a few of my friends," Zhou Shuyan said, "Do you have time tonight?"

"Sure," Lu Youxi agreed immediately.

Zhou Shuyan also mentioned the rumor.

"The school hasn’t had such rumors, but I didn’t expect them to bloom outside," Lu Youxi sneered, "That Lin Jingshen is really..."

An idiot.

"Don’t bother with him," Zhou Shuyan said indifferently, "Although Chengzhou and Lin’s don’t cross paths in business, if I block their chances to join business functions and private dinners for networking, they will suffer."

Though Chengzhou and Lin’s don’t compete in business, Zhou Family’s status is still there.

The statement Zhou Shuyan put out was equivalent to sanctioning the Lin Family.

The Lin Family’s existing business wouldn’t be affected, but if they tried to expand, others would certainly think twice.

Zhou Shuyan had never made such a statement before. While the Zhou Family’s status is high, Zhou Shuyan never used it to oppress others.

No matter when or where, he’s always been polite.

People say Zhou Shuyan is cultured, refined, and has excellent manners.

But the more so, the graver it seems for Zhou Shuyan to make such a statement.

No one would dare to risk offending Zhou Shuyan by associating with the Lin Family.

Moreover, Lin’s isn’t irreplaceable.

How many are eying up like tigers ready to pounce on sheep, waiting to carve up a piece of the Lin’s pie?
