Chapter 356 Second Brother's Wife? Third Brother's Wife?
Upon entering the pre-booked private room, Lin Yaodong immediately spotted a familiar figure.
A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses was talking to a young man in a suit next to him, holding documents in his hands.
This middle-aged man was Lin Yaodong's target on this trip: Liu Zhijun.
He is also the current mayor of Jincheng.
Lin Yaodong immediately stretched out his hand and stepped forward to greet him: "Zhijun! Long time no see!"
As he spoke, Lin Yaodong walked up to Liu Zhijun.
Liu Zhijun seemed not to hear him, continuing to talk to the young man on his back, leaving Lin Yaodong standing aside.
Judging from what the two of them said, the young man seemed to be Liu Zhijun's secretary.
Lin Yaodong, slightly frozen in place, could only console himself that the other person was busy with work and wasn't deliberately ignoring him.
So he kept his outstretched hand and waited quietly.
Finally, after about ten minutes, Liu Zhijun took out a stamp and handed it to the young man next to him: "Xiao Wang, that's about it. Stamp it like this."
After saying this, Liu Zhijun looked tired and was about to rub his eyes to catch his breath when Lin Yaodong spoke up.
"Mayor Liu, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhijun seemed to suddenly see Lin Yaodong's outstretched hand. He quickly stood up and grasped Lin Yaodong's hand, saying, "Oh, Uncle Dong, you're here! Look at me, I've been so busy I haven't even noticed you."
Hearing the other person address him as Uncle Dong, Lin Yaodong's unease vanished instantly.
Just kidding. Back then, Liu Zhijun was someone he and an old friend had mentored. How could he suddenly turn his back on them?
In a daze, he seemed to return to twenty years ago and saw Liu Zhijun before he embarked on his official career.
Liu Zhijun was just a child back then.
Thinking of this, Lin Yaodong said, "Look at what you're saying. You have your own work to do, so how can you waste your attention on an old man like me?"
Busy, everyone's busy, being busy is good.
As he spoke, Lin Yaodong laughed, his face beaming like a chrysanthemum.
"Uncle Dong, you're still going strong for your age."
Liu Zhijun didn't mention the word "waste," but simply exchanged a few sincere pleasantries before changing the subject: "Hey, Uncle Dong, it's been years since we last met. What brings you here today?"
"Hey, let's not talk about that now, let's order first."
After a few rounds of drinks and a few bites of food, Lin Yaodong wiped his mouth and began to get down to business.
"Uncle Dong won't beat around the bush. There's something I'm unsure about, and I wanted to ask you about it."
In previous years, Lin Yaodong would always give Liu Zhijun something during the Spring Festival. However, in recent years, Lin Hongmei has put a lot of pressure on him, and he has become too lazy to maintain his interpersonal relationships.
"The Lin family matter?"
Upon hearing Liu Zhijun's words, Lin Yaodong was slightly taken aback, but then he realized that as the mayor of Jincheng, it was only natural for Liu Zhijun to pay attention to the Lin Group, a leading domestic enterprise.
"Mayor Liu is truly astute. My good-for-nothing nephew was arrested in the United States, causing Lin's Group's stock to plummet. I'm just worried that my grandniece won't be able to withstand the pressure and will sell Lin's Group. Selling it to fellow countrymen is one thing, but what if it's sold to foreigners..."
As he spoke, Lin Yaodong looked at Liu Zhijun with a worried expression, as if everything was understood without words.
"hehe."
Liu Zhijun wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Uncle Dong, don't worry. The Lin family has public funds invested in it, so no one can transfer it to foreign businesses at will."
"Good, good, good, I'm relieved to hear you say that. It wasn't for nothing that the old mayor and I promoted you back then."
After saying this, Lin Yaodong raised his glass and downed it in one gulp, seemingly in a very good mood. Then he stood up and said goodbye to Liu Zhijun: "I have other things to do, Zhijun, you go ahead and do your work. I'll head back now!"
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Zhijun's response, he hurriedly walked out of the Black Swan Hotel, went downstairs to drive back to appease his subordinates.
Unbeknownst to him, after he left, Liu Zhijun disgustedly took out an alcohol wipe and repeatedly wiped the hand that had shaken with Lin Yaodong earlier.
Seeing this, Secretary Wang asked with some confusion, "Mayor, why do you seem to dislike this person so much?"
Liu Zhijun glared at Secretary Wang: "What do you mean 'seems like'? Isn't it obvious enough?"
"Damn it, he even promoted me. When I had that meal with them back then, I had no intention of pursuing a career in politics. By the time I was able to serve the people, the old mayor had already been expelled from the Party and dismissed from his post. I don't know where Lin Yaodong got the nerve."
"Oh? And you still want to?"
Liu Zhijun pursed his lips: "There's nothing we can do. His father has some contact with my elders, and he's getting old. He's been quite quiet these past few years, otherwise he would have been imprisoned and given a government job long ago."
"He still wants to take the chairmanship of Lin's Group. To put it nicely, he's an old gun; to put it bluntly, he's just an old rogue. What can he do if he sits in the chair? The chairman isn't a tortoise; it's all about who survives the longest."
After saying this, Liu Zhijun looked at Secretary Wang seriously: "Little Wang, you better remember this. If it's your turn in the future, don't be as soft-hearted as I am. Even if the old rogue is old, he should be executed if necessary, and for as few minutes as he needs to be executed."
...
...
Inside Lin Hongmei's villa, Mu Liuyun looked at Lulu and Shen Lanxin, who were playing house together among the toys in the living room, and showed a somewhat dazed expression.
Putting these two names together, even if it's just a game of make-believe, is indeed a bit too much for some people to handle.
But from the perspective of judging everything by its actual appearance, the icy and aloof Shen Lanxin and the lively and positive Lulu actually have a kind of harmonious blend of fire and water.
Although Shen Lanxin's movements and expressions were a bit stiff, it was clear that Lulu was having a lot of fun, and Shen Lanxin's performance reflected that fun.
Perhaps in a few years, Lulu will grow into a little devil who can easily manipulate the feelings of countless young men and women.
However, Mu Liuyun's dazed expression at this moment had nothing to do with the scene in front of her.
After receiving the phone call, Chu Yaqin went out to discuss the acquisition of shares with Lin Yaozu.
Mu Liuyun was a little worried. She was so concerned that she wanted to go with him, but then she realized that if Lin Yaozu found out about her relationship with the Lin family, then she could forget about it.
So Mu Liuyun remained in a state of worry and dazedness until now, and didn't even notice that Shen Lanxin had come to the Lin family at some point.
Shen Lanxin wasn't in a hurry. She had already finished discussing "cooperation" with the other members of the Lin family, all for this night when Chu Yaqin wasn't around...
The only one who was a little anxious was Lin Fangyi, who was watching Shen Lanxin and Lin Lulu from the side. She frowned, one hand on her cheek and the other on her chest.
"How should I address President Shen? Second sister-in-law?"
"Hmm, there's also a third sister-in-law? That's not a very nice way to address her."
