Inside a luxurious private room at Wangxianlou.
Lin Yun talked with Boss Wang and his group.
Mr. Wang and his group were very polite to Lin Yun, even somewhat respectful.
From the conversation, Lin Yun learned that Boss Wang's name was Wang Zhan.
"I never imagined that the vegetables we've been getting for Wangxianlou lately were supplied by your family, Mr. Lin..." Wang Zhan exclaimed.
He never expected that such a big figure as Lin Yun would come from a small county like Xianyuan County, where Lin Yun's parents made a living by growing and selling vegetables.
However, he did not underestimate Lin Yun in the slightest.
A hero's origins are irrelevant. The fact that Lin Yun, with his humble background, has achieved his current level further demonstrates that he is no ordinary person.
The background behind Lin Yun may not necessarily be Lin Yun's family, but it could also be a network of relationships that Lin Yun created himself.
These super-rich first-generation individuals are even more worthy of being befriended.
By this time, he already knew the whole story, which made him feel both relieved and annoyed.
Fortunately, this led him to establish a connection with Lin Yun.
What's infuriating is that they almost offended Lin Yun at Wangxianlou.
If he hadn't come here today, and Lin Yun held a grudge against Wangxianlou, or even against him, the owner of Wangxianlou, then he would have nowhere to turn to cry.
Thinking this, he looked up at Foreman Zhao, who was trembling with fear not far away, and said coldly, "Your name is Zhao Hong, right? In a little while, you can go to the accountant to collect your salary and don't come to work again!"
"Boss, please don't fire me. I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Zhao Hong knelt down with a thud, crying bitterly.
He really didn't want to lose his current glamorous life. He could have so much face in front of his relatives and friends, wasn't it because of his current status?
If his relatives and friends knew that he had been fired from Wangxianlou, they would probably look down on him and even make sarcastic remarks.
The thought of that outcome filled Zhao Hong with panic, which made him abandon his dignity and kneel down to beg Wang Zhan.
At that moment, he felt deep regret.
If I had known, why would he have gone to curry favor with Secretary Zhu and his entourage today?
If he's trying to curry favor, why did he have to provoke Lin Yun and the other two?
Unfortunately, there's no going back now, and it's too late for him to regret it.
Wang Zhan paid him no heed.
Zhao Hong's behavior made him despise him even more.
Soon, two people dragged Zhao Hong away.
At the same time, he told someone to tell the purchasing staff in the kitchen that they didn't need to come to work after they received their wages.
"You're a chef at our Wangxianlou Restaurant? If you still plan to work at Wangxianlou, I'll give you the treatment of a head chef, how about it?" Then, Wang Zhan looked at Liu Ming next to Lin Yun and said with a smile.
"I...I...I'm willing to continue working at Wangxianlou, but isn't the pay too high..." Liu Ming said, his face flushed and his words stammering.
In his eyes, their boss was a billionaire with a net worth of nearly a billion, high and mighty. How could he not be excited when his boss spoke to him, a nobody?
At the same time, he understood that his boss was treating him this way entirely because of Lin Yun.
He hadn't expected that Lin Yun would become so successful after only a few years away, and he admired Lin Yun even more.
However, he was self-aware enough to know that he did not have the skills of a master chef, and he felt unworthy of the treatment he was given.
"Hehe, this is the first time I've seen an employee complain about their high salary," Wang Zhan laughed.
“You’ll first learn cooking from the head chef of our Wangxianlou restaurant. I’ll arrange that. Your cooking skills will improve later. As for your current high salary… perfect timing. We’re not doing the purchasing work anymore, so this job will be given to you. You’ll be doing two things at the same time, so it’s normal for your salary to be higher.” Wang Zhan paused and said with a smile.
As he spoke, he kept a close eye on Lin Yun's reaction, and when he saw that Lin Yun did not object, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was more than willing to continue working at Wangxianlou.
He didn't care at all about the treatment he received as a head chef.
If we can befriend Lin Yun through this person, then it will be completely worthwhile.
As long as this person stays at Wangxian Tower, there will be a trace of affection between him and Lin Yun.
"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." Liu Ming nodded repeatedly, very excited.
He's been given the chance; if he doesn't seize it, he'll be incredibly stupid.
Wang Zhan did all of this in front of Lin Yun. Lin Yun nodded slightly in his heart. Although he was not close to Liu Ming, which was why he did not stop Wang Zhan from recruiting Liu Ming, Liu Ming had helped his family in some way, and he remembered this favor.
“What we investors fear most is problems with the local government. Therefore, before investing in a place, we usually conduct due diligence for a period of time. Wangxianlou is a pilot site, where we can observe what the upper echelons of Xianyuan County are like, and it's also a place where a few of us friends exchange ideas…”
"The smaller the place, the more likely the officials are to have problems. It's really hard to say about the officials in Xianyuan County..."
"We've also noticed the complete ban on three-wheeled vehicles in Xianyuan County. Hmm... it does seem to be a violation of human rights. Because of this, we're somewhat worried. If the rights of so many locals are so poorly protected, what will happen to us outsiders investing here? If something goes wrong with the authorities, we'll be completely helpless..."
At this moment, Wang Zhan said to Lin Yun.
"That's good now, we probably don't need to consider investing in Xianyuan County anymore..."
After a pause, Wang Zhan smiled.
"I appreciate everyone's help. If you trust me, you can postpone your investments for now. I'll discuss it with you again later..." Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
These people are all quite capable, and in particular, they are very experienced in various fields. He wouldn't mind developing them into his partners, but this matter requires careful consideration.
"Of course we believe in Boss Lin..."
"It doesn't matter how long it takes to recover..."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin..."
Hearing Lin Yun say this, Wang Zhan and his group were pleasantly surprised and quickly replied.
With Lin Yun's words, their intervention just now did not offend those high-ranking officials in Xianyuan County in vain.
...
Lin Yun and Zhao Gang did not stay at Wangxian Tower for long before leaving.
"I never expected that you'd be doing so well these past few years since you left, boss," Zhao Gang exclaimed on the way.
"It's only in the last two months that such a big change has occurred. Two months ago, I was framed and almost lost everything," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.
Zhao Gang nodded, completely trusting Lin Yun's words.
In his view, Lin Yun must have gone through many extraordinary things to have such a large fortune.
In short, there's no such thing as a free lunch. No matter how great the reward, there's always a lot of effort and risk involved. The amount of effort Lin Yun has put in over the past few years is probably unimaginable to most people.
"How about it? Will you help me?" Lin Yun looked at Zhao Gang and said with a smile.
"The boss's coattails are so strong now, of course I have to hold on tight!" Zhao Gang laughed.
"Get lost! Your thighs are the thicker ones!" Lin Yun kicked him, rolled his eyes, and said.
Zhao Gang did not distance himself from him or treat him with excessive politeness because of his wealth, which made him very gratified.
"Ha ha……"
The two playfully wrestled for a while.
"You really don't plan to win back your girlfriend?" Lin Yun suddenly asked.
Zhao Gang paused in his tracks.
He knew that with Lin Yun's current wealth, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to win back his girlfriend.
The problem between him and his girlfriend is not a problem of their relationship at all.
However, now, it's no longer just a practical issue.
"Boss, let me think about this carefully!" Zhao Gang remained silent for a long time, then sighed slightly and said.
“Okay! There are ten million in this card. Take it first, consider it my advance salary. If you need the money anywhere, you can spend it as you like!” Lin Yun nodded, took out a gold bank card from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Gang, and said.
"A salary of ten million, boss, you're being too generous. I probably wouldn't earn that much in my entire life..." Zhao Gang didn't take the bank card. He looked at Lin Yun and said with a wry smile.
"A lifetime is a very long time," Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
"Alright, take it. You should know that ten million is nothing to me now," Lin Yun said with a smile as he slapped the bank card into Zhao Gang's hand.
“Okay, I’ll take this bank card. I’m making it clear in advance that I’m selling these 100-plus pounds of my flesh to the boss for the rest of my life.” Zhao Gang thought for a moment, then nodded emphatically and said.
"Then you'll find that you'll suffer a great loss," Lin Yun said with a smile.
Is a lifetime only a few decades long?
After obtaining the Cosmic Trading System, he realized that wasn't the case.
In the universe, there are countless civilizations, and some advanced civilizations, including humans, can easily live to be thousands or even tens of thousands of years old.
Legend has it that each of those super-strong individuals possesses an endless lifespan.
When he has nearly mastered Earth's civilization, he intends to pass down cultivation methods. At that time, the lifespan of Earthlings will be far more than a hundred years.
