Chapter 821 Invitation for Cooperation
Hearing that Lin Chen agreed to her request, Su Jinpei immediately beamed with joy, and her voice was a little excited: "Okay, what are the conditions, tell me!"
Lin Chen said: "First, I just promised you to make friends with the Su family, but the affairs of Jiangnan and Dongwang provinces are under my control, and the Su family must not interfere in any way!"
He is now the co-hegemon of Jiangnan and Dongwang provinces. Even though he himself does not value fame and power, but here in Jiangnan, whether it is the Feng family and Wang family in Sucheng, or the Chu family in Yangcheng, the provincial capital Jinling The Tang family and others all have deep friendship with Lin Chen.
Only if Lin Chen continues to control the rights of the two provinces can it be possible to guarantee the interests of these families.
If the control of Jiangnan and Dongwang provinces were handed over to the Su family, Lin Chen could not guarantee what they would do for their own interests.
Therefore, Lin Chen would never give up on this point.
Su Jinpei thought for a while and said, "I can promise you this. Actually, the Su family never thought about controlling Jiangnan and Dongwang provinces. The main purpose of my coming to Jiangnan this time is to make you and the Su family friendly. That’s enough for me to go back and turn in the quest.”
"So, what's your second request?"
Lin Chen said firmly: "The second request, about Xiaoyan's father, I want you to keep your mouth shut and not reveal a single word to her!"
This is the condition that Lin Chen attaches the most importance to. If Su Jinpei does not agree to this point, he would rather break up with Su Jinpei immediately.
Su Jinpei sneered on the other end of the phone: "I can promise you this too. In fact, I don't want to mention these sad things back then. If it wasn't for showing my sincerity to you, I wouldn't have told you about it at all. !"
"Remember what you said!"
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
In order to prevent Cheng Chuyan from being drawn into the game, Lin Chen had no choice but to temporarily agree to Su Jinpei's request.
However, Lin Chen did not believe that the Su family would really be willing to give up the control of Jiangnan and Dongwang provinces.
The current situation is quite different from before. Not only the Zhang family and Su family in Kyoto, but also the Jue Wu Guild have shown interest in Jiangnan. Maybe there are other big families secretly trying to seize Jiangnan. And the control of Dongwang.
Lin Chen believed that with such a shrewd and ruthless head of the Su family, he would never sit back and watch the control of the two big provinces of Jiangnan and Dongwang fall into the hands of others.
However, it is too early to consider these things now. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, and then we can only make a decision based on the situation.
The next morning, when Cheng Chuyan woke up, her eyes were still as swollen as walnuts.
Lin Chen said distressedly: "Why don't you just rest at home for a day today, and leave the company's affairs to the people under you."
Cheng Chuyan was shocked when she saw her swollen eyes in the mirror, but her mood today was much better than yesterday, and she even made an ugly face at herself in the mirror.
"It's okay, I'll just apply an ice towel to my eyes. Because of you, the business volume in the company has increased a lot recently. If I don't go, I'm really worried."
Lin Chen saw that Cheng Chuyan's mental state was not bad except for her red and swollen eyes, so she felt relieved.
After sending his wife and daughter to the kindergarten and the company as usual, Lin Chen also drove to the Stardust Group.
However, just after he got out of the car, an old man in his sixties wearing a gray tuxedo suddenly stopped in front of Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you now?"
His gray hair was meticulously combed behind his head, and he was slightly bowed when he spoke. Judging from his demeanor and demeanor, he should also belong to a certain big family.
"You are?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Look at me, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Chang, and my name is Chang Ning. I am the housekeeper of the Zhang family in Kyoto. This time, I came to Jiangnan under the order of the head of our Zhang family. I want to come and talk to Lin Chen."
The old man in a tuxedo said politely.
Speaking of which, this old man is very polite, and his speech and conversation can easily impress others.
However, when Lin Chen heard that he was the butler of the Zhang family in Kyoto, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that after the two heirs of the Zhang family were humiliated by Lin Chen, they would send a housekeeper over to discuss with him, and it didn't seem like he wanted to ask questions, but was very humble and friendly.
"If you want to ask me for a crime, or if you still want me to submit to the Zhang family, then don't talk about it."
Lin Chen said coldly.
"No, Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. I came to you this time just to find Mr. Lin to cooperate." Chang Ning said with a smile.
"Cooperate with the Zhang family? Sorry, not interested!"
Lin Chen refused without mercy, turned around and wanted to leave.
He had already done such things to the two heirs of the Zhang family before, but the Zhang family came to ask him to cooperate without thinking about the previous suspicions. If you think about it with your toes, you know there must be something wrong.
Lin Chen is not a fool, how could he believe what the other party said?
"Mr. Lin, please stop! The cooperation I am talking about is also related to the Xiao family in the capital. Don't you want to listen first?"
Chang Ning raised his voice and said behind Lin Chen.
Because he mentioned the Xiao family in the capital, he did succeed in making Lin Chen stop.
"Mr. Lin, although our Zhang family and you did have some unpleasantness in the past, I believe that there are no permanent enemies in this world, is there?"
"I might as well tell you the truth. In fact, our Zhang family and Xiao family in Kyoto belong to the eight wealthy families in Kyoto, but the relationship between our two families is not good. We are even competitors in many fields. against each other."
"Our Zhang family has long been dissatisfied with the Xiao family. It's a pity that the Xiao family is also a powerful family with deep roots. It is not easy to defeat the Xiao family."
"And as far as I know, Mr. Lin, your relationship with the Xiao family is not good. Many people in the Xiao family are still deliberately targeting you, Mr. Lin. So from this perspective, the Xiao family is our common enemy .”
"Mr. Lin's strength is undoubted, but it's a pity that you don't have the support of a powerful top giant behind you. Although my Zhang family is one of the top giants in Kyoto, it lacks a powerful master like you, Mr. Lin." .”
"In this way, if we join forces, won't we be able to exert the power of one plus one greater than two?"
"My Zhang family's advocate, Mr. Mingyang, has already made it clear to me that as long as Mr. Lin is willing to join hands with us to deal with the Xiao family, then after the matter is completed, we will fully support you to become the new head of the Xiao family! What do you think, Mr. Lin? "
Chang Ning told what he thought in his mind. He has indeed investigated many things, and he also knows the grievances between Lin Chen and the Xiao family.
In his heart, no matter whether Lin Chen wanted to avenge the Xiao family or gain the Xiao family, he would definitely not reject his cooperation proposal.
"Oh, idiot!"
However, when Chang Ning was extremely surprised, Lin Chen only left this sentence coldly, and strode away without looking back.
He was actually rejected by Lin Chen!
