Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Schemes

Lu Youbang indeed needed Lin Jingshen’s help.

Otherwise, even if he wanted to ruin Lu Youxi’s business with Hexing Rice, he couldn’t find a point of entry.

He had no people, no money, and no power in his hands, so how could he meddle with Lu Youxi?

Before Lin Jingshen contacted him today, he had a headache figuring out how he could disrupt Lu Youxi’s business.

Who would have thought, as soon as he felt sleepy, Lin Jingshen handed him a pillow.

Lu Youbang then shared what he had learned from Ge Guifen about Lu Youxi’s plans to do business with Hexing Rice with Lin Jingshen.

"Doing business with supermarkets isn’t as simple as her Little Pink Book venture," Lin Jingshen said, "The Little Pink Book was a stroke of luck for her—it was chosen for a collaboration with Chengzhou soon after launch, so she didn’t need to meet any clients for it. Otherwise, she would have been busy. To find companies willing to support the Little Pink Book, she would inevitably have to meet people over drinks."

"But although the Little Pink Book doesn’t require her to wine and dine to do business, Hexing Rice definitely will," Lin Jingshen continued, "Hexing Rice doesn’t have a company like Chengzhou backing it. If she wants to get Hexing Rice into supermarkets, she can only negotiate with them directly. Without connections, can she easily get her products into supermarkets? There’s a lot to navigate here."

"If Lu Youxi wants to succeed, there’s a lot she needs to do—winning over supermarket managers, supervisors, purchasing departments, inspectors, it’s not just about accompanying someone for drinks and doing business over the table. But first and foremost, she can’t escape having to negotiate at the dining table."

Lu Youbang’s eyes flickered, thinking that Lin Jingshen’s family was in business, so Lin Jingshen had knowledge of this aspect.

Working with Lin Jingshen was indeed much better than floundering around like a headless fly on his own.

"So?" Lu Youbang blinked, somewhat confused by Lin Jingshen’s meaning, "Even so, Lu Youxi won’t sacrifice her integrity for the sake of business."

He didn’t like Lu Youxi, but he understood her.

Lu Youxi, a very fiery person, wouldn’t let anyone control her.

Although he had not yet started working, he knew a bit.

Female entrepreneurs often face business counterparts who are not very scrupulous.

There are those who take business to the bed, but they are exceptions.

However, it’s not unusual to encounter those who are unscrupulous and take the opportunity to get fresh under the influence of alcohol.

Some may endure it due to various reasons.

But Lu Youxi definitely belonged to the kind who would not tolerate any of it.

Perhaps the other party hadn’t even touched her yet, he would have just reached out, showing such an intention, and Lu Youxi would have cursed him out.

"She wouldn’t agree, but does anyone else know that?" Lin Jingshen said, "Just like the photo Yan Lingbo and his people took, you know that old man is your Hexing Village’s village chief. But if you don’t say it, all I have to do is claim he is Lu Youxi’s client, that she accompanied the client to buy clothes, and maybe there are some other shady relationships. Do you think others would believe it?"

"If you want to spoil Lu Youxi’s business, no problem, just do as I say," Lin Jingshen said, "I can provide the money and the manpower; you don’t have to worry about anything. But when the time comes, you’ll need to come forward and identify it."

"Otherwise, what others say won’t be as credible as you, her cousin," Lin Jingshen added.

"Fine," Lu Youbang said, "I can come out and testify, but only if the evidence is irrefutable."

Seeing Lin Jingshen about to speak, Lu Youbang raised his hand to stop him, "The evidence doesn’t have to be true, but it must leave Lu Youxi unable to refute it. Then I can come forward."

"Don’t treat me like a fool," Lu Youbang said coldly, "Otherwise, if your so-called evidence gets refuted by Lu Youxi, what am I to do?"

"Obviously, you don’t plan to come forward," Lu Youbang said, "If I come out, I’m sure to take a great risk, and you should have a way to step out of this matter untouched. Even if I call you out then, it won’t affect you.

"Your family runs a big company, you have money and power, at the critical moment you won’t lose. Only I will," Lu Youbang said, "So, I need assurance that the evidence will be indisputable by Lu Youxi."

Lin Jingshen raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Naturally, now that we’re working together, we can’t let you down. Besides, if we’re going to meddle with Lu Youxi’s affairs, it’s not like we’ll only cooperate this one time."

Lu Youbang nodded.

And so, the two of them agreed.

Lin Jingshen and Lu Youbang left one after the other.

Lin Jingshen usually attended school as a day student, but these past two days, to avoid his family, he had stayed on campus.

Now his family had figured out that he was the one who had caused the trouble.

Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming seized the opportunity to complain about him continuously, listing Lin Jingshen’s faults in front of Mr. Lin.

Lin Jingshen hadn’t graduated yet, and although he had entered Lin’s to learn, he was not officially integrated yet.

It seemed his two brothers intended to nip him in the bud outright.

While in the company, the two of them were constantly at each other’s throats, but now they had surprisingly cooperated, united as anything, all to deal with Lin Jingshen.

Mr. Lin wanted to grab Lin Jingshen and go apologize to Zhou Shuyan personally.

But he just couldn’t find the chance to see Zhou Shuyan.

Mr. Lin also had his assistant call to schedule a meeting with Zhou Shuyan, but the call could only reach as far as Yu Zeqin.

Yu Zeqin simply blocked the request, saying Zhou Shuyan’s schedule was full, and dismissed Mr. Lin’s assistant.

Mr. Lin still had some pride in his status.

He felt that even though Lin’s was not up to par with Chengzhou, he was, after all, the President of Lin Group. If he could contact Zhou Shuyan directly, it would be okay, but he could only first get in touch with Yu Zeqin—it’s not like he, the President of Lin Group, could personally contact an assistant.

But unexpectedly, his assistant couldn’t even get an appointment through Yu Zeqin.

Seeing the matter dragging on without resolution, Mr. Lin asked for Yu Zeqin’s number from the assistant to contact him personally.

Thinking that as the President of Lin Group, he was showing sincerity by personally reaching out to Yu Zeqin, he should give him face.

But Yu Zeqin simply repeated the same line he had said to his assistant.

So to this day, Mr. Lin hadn’t been able to meet Zhou Shuyan.

He couldn’t very well lose face by waiting at Chengzhou’s doorstep, right?

But since he knew Lin Jingshen was responsible for this mess, Mr. Lin wanted Lin Jingshen to go to Chengzhou personally.

It didn’t matter if Lin Jingshen lost face.

After all, Lin Jingshen was young; who hasn’t made some stupid mistakes when young?

Letting Lin Jingshen swallow his pride, go to Chengzhou to corner Zhou Shuyan, beg for mercy in front of Zhou Shuyan, it was all alright.

For this reason, Lin Jingshen had been hiding in school and not returning home.

Now, Mr. Lin could not only reach Zhou Shuyan but couldn’t get in touch with Lin Jingshen either.
