Seeing how cooperative Chen Dong was, Old Lin smiled with satisfaction.
Chen Dong's actions were so free-spirited and confident that even Lin Zichang, who was standing to the side, was somewhat envious.
"You can rest assured, I believe that those who care will notice the relationship between you and me and will not make things too difficult for us," Old Lin said.
After finishing his business, Chen Dong quickly took his leave of Elder Lin.
…………
After Chen Dong left, Old Lin and Lin Zichang chatted for a few more minutes.
"How did your conversation with Chen Dong go?" Old Lin asked.
"It's alright! At least Chen Dong is more accepting of me now," Lin Zichang said after thinking for a moment.
"That's good. Chen Dong has some of the traits of a ruthless leader; he's rather self-centered and won't easily accept someone."
"I'm just simply showing myself."

"What he truly cares about is the development of the country. If I had to use a metaphor, he would be somewhat like Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period: a capable minister in times of peace, and a ruthless hero in times of chaos."
"Such people can only be befriended, not antagonized. Fortunately, we are living in a time of peace."
"Should we be afraid of him?" Lin Zichang didn't understand.
“No, I’m not afraid of him as a person. I’m afraid he’s run away abroad. If he disappoints Chen Dong, he might hide abroad and stay in his own little world, no longer caring about the country.”
"But as you can see, Chen Dong owns so many businesses, but that's not what worries me the most. What worries me the most is that he, or rather his thinking, is far ahead of this era. I can't imagine being an enemy of such a person."
"Even if he still cares about his Chinese heritage, this is still a loss for our entire country."
