"Don't worry, the Han family won't dare to make a move against you easily now. First, they don't have time to deal with it, and second, they will definitely be able to find out about your relationship with our family. If they don't want to start a war, they won't dare to act rashly."
Lin Zichang's words convinced Chen Dong that his relationship with the Lin family could not be kept secret from those who were interested.
Chen Dong still expressed his gratitude to Lin Zichang.
At the same time, he was careful to maintain a proper distance, so as not to provoke Lin Zichang into taking advantage of him, and even more so, not to offend him.
Chen Dong's thought was that even if he couldn't become friends with Lin Zichang, he should try his best not to let him become his enemy, or cause him trouble or trip him up.
After all, his connections mainly stemmed from his interactions with Elder Lin, and Lin Zichang was still on his side.
However, my relationship with Lin Zichang has only just begun, and I haven't yet gained a deep understanding of his temperament and character.
Of course, it seems that Lin Zichang is not bad now. Although he has the faults that most young people have, he also believes that since Old Master Lin attaches so much importance to this grandson and takes him under his wing to cultivate him, he should be able to inherit some of Old Master Lin's qualities, and at least he will not be too bad in terms of character and other aspects.
Lin Zichang finally felt relieved after receiving Chen Dong's sincere thanks and recognition once again.
He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "As long as you blame me for meddling, that's fine."
"How could I blame you? Most people wouldn't be so kind as to help me!"
However, he thought to himself, "This is the trouble that comes with associating with the powerful and wealthy. Sometimes you don't even know what they're thinking or what they'll do."
"It's fine if you encounter someone who acts normally, but if you encounter someone who does whatever they want and only cares about their own happiness, then you'll be in big trouble."
What Chen Dong was worried about was not something unfounded or unfounded, but a fact that actually existed.
Although many of these people do not have any real power, they have a large network of connections and can accomplish a lot by leveraging the relationships and influence of their elders or even by directly intervening.
It's much easier for them to accomplish something or destroy something than for ordinary people.
Many things that are extremely difficult for ordinary people are just a matter of a phone call or a word for them.
Of course, even ordinary people can do a lot of things in many situations, and it is easy for them to cause trouble for someone.
However, the descendants of these high-ranking officials control more resources, so they often exhibit greater destructive power.
To put it bluntly, these guys with a certain amount of hidden power are like kids carrying nuclear launch boxes.
They lack the ability to govern the world, yet they could potentially destroy it by accidentally triggering the nuclear button.
That's obviously an exaggeration.
But for those outside the elite, such as moderately wealthy business owners, they are like children carrying nuclear bombs, capable of immense destruction. With a mere flick of their wrist, they could destroy the world of these small business owners.
"To express my apology, please allow me to do something for you," Lin Zichang said.
"I don't think there's anything I need you to do," Chen Dong said to him after thinking for a moment, shaking his head.
To be honest, Chen Dong didn't want to get too involved with Lin Zichang in this regard, because if he made a request, it would still be emphasizing his dissatisfaction with Lin Zichang's actions.
In addition, Chen Dong had a vague guess that Old Lin was cultivating a team for Lin Zichang.
And I am one of the candidates that Elder Lin prefers.
Lin Zichang was certainly aware of this, which is why he seemed somewhat anxious and uncertain.
However, what I need now is to maintain a certain distance from the powerful and wealthy.
He felt that it was better to associate with a great figure like Elder Lin, whose thoughts and style of doing things were already well-established.
Moreover, they gradually discovered that the other party was reliable through their interactions, and thus began to cooperate step by step.
For someone like Lin Zichang, who is new to the world and inexperienced, nothing is settled yet. If he gets too deeply involved, it might not be a good thing.
These privileged children are filled with arrogance and disdain for ordinary people, yet they lack experience in dealing with people. Furthermore, due to the power they wield and the strong backgrounds they rely on, they may lack a certain degree of respect for rules, human nature, and morality.
Many descendants of high-ranking officials believe that their family and friends are the masters of the country, and they look down on ordinary people.
Ma Yun once said something that is widely circulated in business circles: "Keep a certain distance from power. Entrepreneurs can fall in love with the government, but they should not marry it."
Although Ma Yun has been criticized for many things, his viewpoint has been recognized by many people.
To some extent, Chen Dong also agreed with his view.
After all, Chen Dong did not want to become the master of this country, but only wanted to have his own independence and a certain degree of voice.
Because Ma Yun later betrayed his ideals—he genuinely didn't want to have a romantic relationship with the government, but rather wanted to support them—his empire was ultimately subjected to strong suppression and dismantling by the state.
After all, the government in this country is still very powerful.
In other words, Chen Dong and Ma Yun are fundamentally different.
He simply wanted to promote the country's development to a certain extent, while not letting too many external factors interfere with him or force him to do too many things he didn't want to do.
Of course, Chen Dong also knew that, in the eyes of outsiders, his idea seemed naive and unrealistic, but he was also exploring step by step, trying to find the right way to get along with the world.
