Shenghong's Lin Family

Chapter 38: Shenghong's Lin Family (24 chapters today)

"A newly popular female influencer on Douyin! What, aren't you going to introduce us?" Wu Yihao said with a smile.

Zhao Wanyu showed a slight smile on her face: "Mengchuan, this is Wu Yihao. Wu Yihao, this is my friend Mengchuan."

"Chen Mengchuan? Nice name. It has 'dream' in it, looks like someone who loves to dream. Nice to meet you, I'm Wu Yihao." Wu Yihao extended his hand with a smile.

Chen Mengchuan frowned slightly, detecting the sarcastic undertone in Wu Yihao's words.

He then smiled and replied, "I do love to dream. Sorry, I'm in tech, so I'm a bit of a homebody and don't really like socializing. As for meeting, let's just skip it."

Wu Yihao's expression changed slightly, and his smile faded. "Quite an arrogant person."

Chen Mengchuan shook his head with a smile, "Sorry, I don't like meeting too many people I won't have any future interactions with."

"Wanyu, your friend is quite interesting." Wu Yihao's expression turned colder.

Zhao Wanyu held back a laugh, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Wu Yihao, you get shut down sometimes. Hahaha!"

"You seem like a sensible person, but don't be someone who lives off women." Wu Yihao said coldly.

As soon as Zhao Wanyu heard him, she looked at Chen Mengchuan and laughed again.

Feeling a bit awkward from Zhao Wanyu's laughter, Chen Mengchuan touched his nose. He really didn't like too much socializing; meeting people he didn't care about and wouldn't interact with again felt like an unnecessary burden.

"May I ask where this Mr. Chen is employed?" Wu Yihao asked coldly.

Chen Mengchuan smiled, "I really didn't intend to meet you."

Wu Yihao's face became displeased, and he turned and left.

"Hey, he didn't offend you, did he? Why treat him like that?" Zhao Wanyu asked with a smile.

Chen Mengchuan glanced at her, "Heh!"

"Wu Yihao is my childhood friend. Our families have known each other since we were kids. Our personalities just diverged as we grew up. Brother Chuan, do you have anything to do? If not, just follow me. I'm with my dad." Zhao Wanyu said.

"Okay." Chen Mengchuan nodded. Before the provincial leaders arrived, there was no need for him to step forward. The factory matters could be handled by Sun Zhongyong and Xu Shuwei.

Afterward, the two followed not far behind Zhao Qinghua, conversing in low voices.

The people in Zhao Qinghua's circle quickly recognized Zhao Wanyu. As the crowd grew, Chen Mengchuan became increasingly conspicuous, his casual gray attire standing out starkly among a sea of suits and formal wear.

"It seems this outfit is indeed a bit out of place for the occasion," Chen Mengchuan remarked.

Zhao Wanyu smiled, "You finally realize that?"

Chen Mengchuan glanced at her, "If it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. Comfort and simplicity are most important."

Zhao Wanyu chuckled and nodded, "As long as you're happy."

"Brother Chuan, trouble is coming." Zhao Wanyu looked at a man walking directly towards them.

Chen Mengchuan looked over. A man with a cold expression was walking towards him, accompanied by the earlier Wu Yihao.

"Your suitor?" Chen Mengchuan asked Zhao Wanyu.

"Sort of." Zhao Wanyu's expression showed a hint of a headache.

Chen Mengchuan nodded, "Heh, if you say so, then I won't hold back."

"Are you the guy Wu Yihao mentioned, the one with his nose in the air?" the man asked with a smile.

Chen Mengchuan smiled, "Probably. Sorry, I'm a bit busy."

With that, he picked up his phone, opened the Toutiao app, and calmly started scrolling.

"Looks like it is," the man smiled, seemingly unsurprised.

"Why don't you guys chat amongst yourselves?" Chen Mengchuan looked at the man, dismissing him.

"Wanyu, come with us. My dad was just saying he hasn't seen you in a long time," the man said.

Chen Mengchuan frowned slightly, "You guys are a bit annoying."

The man smiled, "I'm not talking to you."

Chen Mengchuan's brow twitched, and he directly grabbed Zhao Wanyu's hand, "Let's go, we'll wait somewhere else."

The moment Chen Mengchuan took Zhao Wanyu's hand, the man's gaze instantly turned icy, and he said in a low voice, "Let go!"

Simultaneously, a hand shot out towards Chen Mengchuan, firmly gripping his wrist with immense strength!

Chen Mengchuan's expression turned cold, "I advise you to let go now. It would be better for you."

"I also advise you to let go. Figure out your own standing first. Don't be a toad lusting after swan meat. Living off a woman isn't as easy as you think," the man said, increasing the pressure on Chen Mengchuan's wrist.

"Lin Dongsheng, what are you doing? Let go." Zhao Wanyu spoke up, her voice a little loud, drawing some attention.

The man remained unmoved, just staring coldly at Chen Mengchuan.

"Dongsheng! Let go!" A voice with considerable authority rang out. It was Zhao Qinghua and a group of people approaching.

The one who spoke was a tall, thin man in a gray suit, around 50 years old.

Lin Dongsheng, still gripping Chen Mengchuan's wrist, looked at Chen Mengchuan coldly and slowly released his hand.

Chen Mengchuan also released Zhao Wanyu's hand.

"Apologize to this gentleman!" the tall, thin man said with an imposing air.

Lin Dongsheng's expression darkened slightly, and he spoke coldly to Chen Mengchuan, "If I hurt you, I apologize. I used too much force and didn't control my strength."

Chen Mengchuan's face was ashen, his wrist throbbing faintly. Lin Dongsheng had incredible strength, his physical condition far surpassing his own. In just one encounter, he had suffered a hidden loss.

"My apologies, sir. I am Lin Qiyi of Shenghong Group. My son is ill-mannered and lacks discipline. I hope you will overlook his transgressions for my sake," the tall, thin man said to Chen Mengchuan with a hint of apology.

Shenghong Group, a top ten enterprise in Su Province! Decades ago, it started as a village-run silk weaving factory, growing step by step in dyeing and finishing to become the leader in Su Province's printing and dyeing industry. Later, with chemical fiber melt direct spinning as its core, it expanded into hotels, energy, real estate, petrochemicals, and other industries, eventually becoming Shenghong Holding Group. The person in charge of such a behemoth was the tall, thin man before him, Lin Qiyi.

Looking at Lin Qiyi, who extended his hand with an apologetic expression, Chen Mengchuan, despite his displeasure, could only reach out and shake it.

"Chen Mengchuan of Su City Tianzhi, I look forward to your guidance!" Chen Mengchuan replied earnestly, his gaze sharp!

Lin Qiyi was slightly taken aback. Countless pieces of information flashed through his mind, finally settling on the identity of the young man before him.

"I didn't expect to meet the man himself here. I apologize for my son's poor upbringing; please don't take it to heart, President Chen." Lin Qiyi's attitude shifted from apologetic to humble.

"He certainly needs discipline," Chen Mengchuan said, rubbing his wrist, which ached from Lin Dongsheng's grip.

Lin Dongsheng, seeing his father's attitude, immediately narrowed his eyes and was about to speak to Chen Mengchuan.

"Slap!" A loud smack echoed through the air! All eyes turned towards them.

Lin Qiyi slapped Lin Dongsheng hard across the face.

"You disgraceful thing, get out of here. Old Wang, take him back," Lin Qiyi ordered coldly.

Lin Dongsheng covered his face in disbelief, looking at his father.

"You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qiyi delivered another fierce slap, hitting Lin Dongsheng's hand as he covered his face.

"Get out of here, and don't make me say it again!" Lin Qiyi glared at him furiously!

Lin Dongsheng stared angrily at his father, then coldly at Chen Mengchuan. Without a word, he turned and left.

Lin Qiyi's actions greatly surprised Zhao Qinghua and the others.

Watching his son depart, Lin Qiyi's expression softened as he looked at Chen Mengchuan, "President Chen, you've seen a spectacle."

"Not at all..." Chen Mengchuan's face twitched slightly. Lin Qiyi was truly ruthless towards his own son.

Anyone could see that Lin Qiyi had held nothing back with that slap. The force and the loud sound made bystanders wince in sympathy.
