After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong told Jiang Fei and the others to leave first, while he and Wolong found a place to rest nearby, drinking tea and waiting.
Not long after, someone called and the car arrived.
Upon seeing the person, he realized it was the same guard who had picked him up and dropped him off the previous times.
In less than twenty minutes, Chen Dong arrived at Old Lin's courtyard.
Secretary Wang personally greeted them, beaming with smiles and displaying exceptional friendliness.
He led Chen Dong to the door of Old Lin's study.
As he walked, he said to Chen Dong:
"You'd better be careful later, the old man hasn't been in a good mood these past few days. Part of the reason is because of you..."
"Huh?" Chen Dong looked astonished.
Just as he was about to ask what had happened, a sound came from inside the room.
"Chen Dong is here, tell him to come in quickly!"
Secretary Wang could only give Chen Dong a look that said, "Good luck," before opening the door for him.
Chen Dong tiptoed inside.
Squeak!
Secretary Wang closed the door from the outside.
Then, Chen Dong saw Old Lin's back.
He stood ramrod straight in front of the huge map of China, looking up at it.
This alone shows that Mr. Lin is still in good spirits.
"Mr. Lin, you wanted to see me!" Chen Dong greeted him respectfully.
It took a long time before Old Lin turned around.
His deep gaze was fixed on Chen Dong.
At this moment, the refined and scholarly air about Old Lin disappeared, replaced by an incomparably fierce and ruthless aura.
Chen Dong felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, or as if two sharp swords were piercing his body.
That's terrifying!
Old Lin truly lives up to his reputation as someone who once led troops into battle.
Such power is something most people couldn't withstand.
Even someone like Chen Dong, who has fought and dominated the financial markets in both his past and present lives, and who recently faced life and death in Myanmar, felt immense pressure.
He was tempted to take a step back and avoid the confrontation.
But he knew he had to stay firmly in place and couldn't back down.
He is not the kind of delicate flower or weak grass that cannot withstand the storm.
He also possesses an unyielding and indomitable spirit; simply put, he is stubborn and single-minded.
Grit your teeth!
Hold your feet firmly in place!
At the same time, lean forward slightly.
The pressure came in waves, and Chen Dong's body trembled, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
Gradually, his face began to turn bright red.
But he still wouldn't back down!
Just when he felt he was about to give up, Old Lin withdrew his imposing aura.
She gave Chen Dong an appreciative look.
Then he turned around and sat down in the chair behind the desk.
He then gestured slightly with his chin towards the chair next to Chen Dong, "Sit!"
Chen Dong sat down as instructed.
Only then did he realize that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and his clothes were sticking to his back, making him very uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, Old Lin still looked serious and his face was ashen.
Therefore, Chen Dong dared not relax at all, but straightened his back, placed his hands on his knees, and sat upright.
Old Lin remained silent for a long time, his eyes fixed on him, which made Chen Dong feel even more uneasy.
The air in the room felt like it was about to freeze.
Chen Dong thought for a moment. He figured that Elder Lin hadn't been able to hold back and was probably a little embarrassed to speak first, so he, as the younger generation, would take the initiative.
So he said to Old Lin, "Old Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
With a "snap".
But Old Lin slammed his hand heavily on the table.
Chen Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped out of his chair, but he managed to stay calm.
"What am I supposed to say to you? What am I supposed to say to you? I thought you were quite reliable, but I never expected you to... You, you, you're absolutely infuriating!"
As he spoke, he seemed to be having trouble breathing.
Chen Dong rushed forward, ignoring Old Lin's refusal, and patted his chest to help him catch his breath.
At the same time, he comforted him, saying, "Old Lin, don't be angry, please don't get angry. It's not worth getting angry over me!"
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
But it was Secretary Wang who poked his head in.
It turned out that he had been waiting outside the door. When he heard the noise inside the room, he didn't know what had happened, so he quickly pushed the door open to see what was going on.
"Old Lin?"
Old Master Lin simply waved his hand at Secretary Wang, "This is none of your business. Get out and close the door!"
Secretary Wang's expression froze.
He glanced at Old Lin, then at Chen Dong, but didn't leave. Instead, he continued, "Well, Old Lin, you must be careful to control your emotions. Your body doesn't allow for too much emotional fluctuation..."
"Alright, alright, I know, you can go now!"
Chen Dong now understood why Old Master Lin was angry.
His heart was filled with emotion and worry for Elder Lin.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I really acted impulsively this time. Please don't be angry with me, it wouldn't be good for you. You are a pillar of our country, a beam of gold supporting the sea!"
As he said this, he made a point of putting on a smile to ease the tension.
"Stop joking around with me, do you know what you did wrong?"
"I understand, Elder Lin. I won't make that mistake again. I'll try my best to avoid war-torn areas, and even if I do go, I'll be fully prepared. Also, I'll take good care of myself, bring bodyguards when I go out, and if I encounter anything I can't handle, I'll seek help immediately..."
"Hmm, so it seems you know all this. Kid, this time you really need to learn a lesson. What you said is true, but you need to remember this! Everyone makes mistakes in life, but you can't keep falling into the same trap! Look at you, how many times have you made the same mistake? Once in Myanmar, and then again in Qin Chuan Province?"
