Chapter 643 - 641: Brother Lin Doesn’t Want to Help

Wang Jianshu was momentarily at a loss for words, his face suddenly changing,

as if he had swallowed something unspeakably humiliating.

In the world of business rivalry,

polite words are often used as convenient lubricants,

usually accepted with a smile, without further thought.

In the past, every instance was brushed off lightly and breezily.

However, this time, Lin Zhenhai's reaction took everyone by surprise,

as if he took each word seriously.

"Without seeing Brother Lin, I've lost my appetite and can't sleep well. Look, I've even lost weight."

He said this while revealing his emaciated arm, as if he had truly suffered greatly.

Lin Zhenhai heard this and smiled slightly, with a hint of mockery:

"Indeed, you've lost some weight. I've always wanted to slim down a few pounds, but couldn't find the right way.

Now I think about it, Chairman Wang's method is excellent. Why don't you go back, and I'll ponder for a few days to see if I can slim down."

Hearing this, Wang Jianshu's face turned increasingly grim, like dark clouds before a storm.

"Brother Lin, we've known each other for a long time, and being both among the four great families of Yancheng, I won't be polite with you.

You must have heard that our Wang Family recently suffered an almost catastrophic disaster, and I hope Brother Lin can consider our long-standing friendship and help us through this difficulty."

Lin Zhenhai gently shook his head, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness:

"Chairman Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, but the Lin Family is itself like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river. Our funds are also tight, and there's no way to assist."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshu's face turned pale as paper,

shocked and with added unwillingness.

No one knew that the Lin Corporation was at the pinnacle of the business world in Hua Country,

almost controlling the economic lifeline. If its funds truly have difficulties,

it would be a thunderbolt for the entire Hua Country economy.

"Brother Lin, are you subtly rejecting me?"

Wang Jianshu's voice trembled slightly, with disbelief.

"Chairman Wang is smart, hitting the mark precisely."

Lin Zhenhai's reply was concise and resolute.

Seeing Lin Zhenhai so uninterested in maintaining appearances, Wang Jianshu couldn't hold it together anymore.

"Chairman Lin, I've never wronged the Lin Family, why has it come to this?"

Lin Zhenhai leisurely leaned back into his seat, adjusting it to the most comfortable position,

speaking slowly, his tone carrying deep meaning:

"Chairman Wang, do you still remember Xue Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshu was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled:

"Of course, I remember Xue Yang. Right from the first meeting, he left me with a profound impression.

His talent and character naturally inspired confidence.

Later, at Xiao Xi's engagement party, we met again, further affirming my initial judgment.

I must say, Chairman Lin has a keen eye for talent. Such an outstanding young talent,

able to quickly become your esteemed son-in-law, truly enviable."

Lin Zhenhai said blandly:

"Hmm, the supermarket schemes your Wang Family has been starting recently, those plans originated from him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshu's pupils constricted sharply, his face full of astonishment, hurriedly retorting:

"Chairman Lin, you shouldn't say things without evidence."

Lin Zhenhai smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with a knowing brilliance:

"Whether I'm speaking without evidence, Chairman Wang could go back and ask your son, and it will be clear."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshu's mouth hung open, as if struck by lightning, frozen for a long time speechless.

In such circumstances, Wang Jianshu dared not linger longer in Lin Zhenhai's territory,

almost fleeing in haste.

Stepping out of the imposing doors of Lin Corporation,

he immediately dialed the rebellious son Wang Doudou at home,

his tone full of urgency and anger.

On the other end, Wang Doudou received this sudden inquiry, his heart sinking, chaotic with panic.

Yet no matter how frightened, he could only return home.

If he didn't return, he believed his father would surely cut off all his cards immediately.

Even the funds for the current supermarket development project would be cut off.

Thinking of this, Wang Doudou felt a chill in his heart,

thinking he was already free from the family's and his father's control during this time,

only to realize today he had oversimplified everything.

Just stepping into the house, he was met with Wang Jianshu's irate figure, roaring:

"You ungrateful son, fess up,

where did you steal that supermarket project plan from?!"

Every word was like a heavy hammer, banging hard on Wang Doudou's heart.

Facing his father's stormy reprimand,

Wang Doudou's legs buckled, nearly collapsing to the ground,

but he braced himself, trying to make his voice less shaky:

"Dad, please listen to me, the plan… the plan wasn't stolen."

He took a deep breath, trying to clear his thoughts amid chaos,

"I... it was through some channels that I met a senior in the industry,

impressed by my passion and determination, he provided me with some guidance and advice.

I integrated my ideas to eventually form this plan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianshu's anger did not immediately subside,

but his eyes flickered slightly as if scrutinizing the authenticity in Wang Doudou's words.

"Senior? What senior? What makes you believe he would help you for no reason?"

His tone was still stern but revealed hints of curiosity and suspicion.

Seeing this, Wang Doudou quickly seized the opportunity,

pulling out a stack of documents from his pocket, which were email records, meeting notes, and some initial collaborations with the senior.

"Dad, look, these are all evidence. I know I've disappointed you many times before, but this time I'm serious.

I want to show you that even without your protection, I have the capability to achieve something."

Wang Jianshu took the documents, flipping through each page carefully, his expression gradually transforming from anger to complexity.

Wang Doudou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for his preparation.

Otherwise, facing his father's questions,

he wouldn't know how to respond.

However, what Wang Doudou didn't expect,

was Wang Jianshu's next move took him completely by surprise.

Wang Jianshu furiously threw the heavy documents towards Wang Doudou,

the files scattered across the floor, the air filled with tension and oppression.

"Ungrateful son! Even now, you still want to lie to me?"

Wang Doudou reflexively kneeled on the ground,

the action smooth and without hesitation.

"Dad, please believe me, I really haven't lied to you. This plan was indeed taught to me by that senior."

He tries to make his voice sound sincere and firm.

However, Wang Jianshu's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger,

as if he had already seen through Wang Doudou's lie.

"Is that senior's name Su Jianqiang?"
