106: Having a good wife at home can eliminate the barriers!
Lin Meixian stayed in the Shen family mansion for the entire afternoon and did not return to the Wen family until dinner time.
Wen Zhicheng was waiting for her at home, with a bag in his hand containing a gift for Lin Meixian. Seeing Lin Meixian coming back, Wen Zhicheng quickly took out the gift: "I was stuck in traffic on the way back, and I saw that the window display on the street had changed to a new one, and I fell in love with it at first sight."
Wen Zhicheng's gift was a new bag.
Lin Meixian had her eyes on this bag for a long time, but she had never been willing to buy it. Wen Zhicheng actually guessed her preference.
While Lin Meixian was muttering about Wen Zhicheng's wasteful spending, she couldn't help but smile. Her not-so-young but still gentle and affectionate eyes looked at the gift and then at Wen Zhicheng, her joy almost overflowing.
Lin Meixian has this ability. Wen Zhicheng is the one who spends money to give gifts, but Wen Zhicheng also gets satisfaction from it.
What surprised Wen Zhicheng even more was that after Lin Meixian admired the new bag he gave her, she took out a small box from the bag she was carrying out today and said, "Zhicheng, I have a gift for you too."
Inside the small box was a pair of gold cufflinks.
Lin Meixian was a little embarrassed. "It's not worth much compared to what you gave me. But I earned the money to buy the gift myself. No matter how expensive it is, it's my gift. Don't despise it."
How could Wen Zhicheng dislike it?
Wen Zhicheng couldn't wait to take out the cufflinks and examine them. They were small and delicate gold cufflinks, with a maple leaf pattern on the front and a capital "W" on the back. Wen Zhicheng loved maple trees and had taken Lin Meixian to see a mountain covered in maple leaves when he was pursuing her. The "W" was the initial of his last name—wasn't this a random gift Lin Meixian bought while shopping, but one custom-made for him?
Wen Zhicheng was almost moved to death.
The two had a good relationship, but after they got married, they started to have a rift because of their respective daughters.
Lin Meixian blamed Wen Zhicheng for not being honest enough, and Wen Zhicheng also felt that Lin Meixian did not trust him. The conflict between Wen Yiyi and Xu Yao caused the gap between the couple to deepen... At this moment, the discomfort in Wen Zhicheng's heart disappeared, and he reflected on himself from the bottom of his heart: "I am a bastard who doesn't know how to cherish happiness. Since I married you, I should have handled the relationship between you and Yiyi. It was my own cleverness that made your relationship tense. And a few days ago, I was panicked and asked you to ask Yaoyao for help. Gu Jun was working for someone, and my request was too difficult for the young couple! Meixian, I was so wrong. Can you forgive me just once?"
Wen Zhicheng's words almost brought tears to Lin Meixian's eyes.
"I understand you're thinking about Yiyi, but you shouldn't be on guard against me like a thief. If I wasn't afraid of being laughed at for having just remarried and divorced, I wouldn't have come back with you!"
Lin Meixian opened up, and Wen Zhicheng felt even more ashamed: "I will never do this again!"
The couple resolved their misunderstandings, and the atmosphere at dinner was better than usual.
Wen Zhicheng's conversation with Lin Meixian was less tentative and more sincere. He knew that Lin Meixian's close relationship with Shen Zhongjun's wife was because she wanted to act as a broker to make some money to support Xu Yao. For the first time, Wen Zhicheng and Lin Meixian had a heart-to-heart talk and laid the matter out on the table. He said, "It's not realistic for me to help pay off all those debts at once. Not to mention what a fuss Yiyi would make if she knew, withdrawing so much working capital at once would also have a devastating impact on my business. However, I can take a portion of the company's annual profit and secretly give it to Xu Yao. Firstly, it will reduce her burden, and secondly, it will be quiet and can be concealed from Yiyi."
The part of profit that Wen Zhicheng mentioned is at least seven figures but no more than seven figures.
Xu Yao was Lin Meixian's daughter, after all. Consider this money spent to please her. Two or three million a year wasn't a lot of money for Wen Zhicheng. Even if it wasn't enough to pay off Xu Yao's debts, it would still be enough to silence the creditors and prevent them from pressing her too hard. If Lin Meixian and Wen Zhicheng's marriage lasted long enough, Wen Zhicheng would have paid tens of millions to Xu Yao over the course of ten years. As a stepfather, Wen Zhicheng was truly generous!
Lin Meixian was moved to tears by Wen Zhicheng. Wen Zhicheng was in a hurry to try to stop her from crying, but Lin Meixian smiled through her tears: "Do you think you are the only generous stepfather? My relationship with Mrs. Shen is not only to help people attract business and earn some agency fees to support Yaoyao, but I am also considering this family. I know you are more familiar with Shen Yan's family, but Shen Shuping himself was separated from the Shen family and lived on his own. His financial strength and connections are far inferior to those of Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun! You are on par with him in choosing him as a partner, but I think it will be a bit difficult for you to rely on Shen Shuping to move to the next level."
Wen Zhicheng was surprised, "Meixian, I didn't know you knew anything about business?"
Lin Meixian shook her head. "Of course I don't understand business matters. I've never run a business myself. I just see the wives of the bosses who courteously court Mrs. Shen change all the time. I often hear about someone going bankrupt or having financial difficulties, but Mrs. Shen always stays strong in the social circle. I figured that since we're going to partner up anyway, why not partner up with someone powerful? Even if you can just let a little of that 'small business' that Shen Zhongjun despises get away with, you can still make a lot of money."
Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun are indeed wealthy, and the Shen family has been entrenched in Nancheng for many years and has extensive connections.
Wen Zhicheng was a little moved.
But he and Shen Shuping have worked together for many years and are familiar with each other. If he suddenly wants to stick to Shen Zhongjun, Shen Shuping's reaction will probably be very intense.
Lin Meixian knew Wen Zhicheng's concerns and advised him, "If there's another suitable business opportunity, I'll take it on for you under my own name. I don't understand business matters, so I'll be your front, but you're the one making the real decisions. That way, you can explain to Shen Shuping that everything is my fault. I was selfishly trying to make some money behind your back, and you didn't even know about it!"
Lin Meixian's eyes are moving, and she is still very charming even in her middle age.
No one would complain about having too much money. Furthermore, the land Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping had favored was snatched away by Hua Hu, leaving Wen Zhicheng unable to find any good projects. He had only invested in Shen Yan's MCN company, and he wasn't sure if he could recoup his investment. If Lin Meixian could get a profitable business from Shen Zhongjun, no matter how much, Wen Zhicheng would still be willing to give it a try.
Finally, Wen Zhicheng nodded slowly: "I think we can give it a try. If we really make money, it will naturally be our joint property. I won't have to sneak around to support Yaoyao. You can give your half to whoever you want, and no one can find fault with you."
During the conversation, Wen Zhicheng had already distributed the profits for the business that Lin Meixian took over from Mrs. Shen Er: half for him and half for Lin Meixian!
Lin Meixian smiled and nodded. "I won't be polite with you. I really can't let go of Yaoyao. Although I can't afford the business, I will maintain a good relationship for you with the business I received from Mrs. Shen. I will never touch those that are difficult to collect money from."
Wen Zhicheng believed Lin Meixian's promise.
Not to mention that his relationship with Lin Meixian is involved. If half of the profits belong to Lin Meixian, she will care more than anyone else and will not let Wen Zhicheng do risky projects!
