Chapter 196: Talking Badly Behind Someone’s Back



There is no doubt that Old Man Chen is a very sober person.

He climbed up step by step from the bottom. When he was at his lowest point, the total money in his family's pockets was only five dollars. Now he has some savings and even has enough money to plan a new car. He has taken one step at a time, always down-to-earth and very steady.

It's not that he hasn't taken risks and worked hard before, but for someone of his background, this means huge risks. If he loses once, his wife and children will be in a dilemma of having no rice to cook and no milk to feed. So Old Man Chen developed the habit of thinking carefully before doing something. Even when faced with easy benefits and the goodwill of others, he would examine, examine, and examine again.

There is no doubt that the family currently represented by Secretary Yu has extended a vague olive branch to him, which contains the possibility of soaring to fame and huge benefits!

Profits are equated with risks, so Old Man Chen is so vigilant, especially now that the business involves his wife's family.

That's why he wanted to verify Secretary Yu's identity and intentions, and even came to ask his own son, starting with the little girl, asking indirect questions like "Is her family rich?" and "What kind of car does her family usually drive?" Chen Tinghan wanted to laugh when he heard it.

After laughing, I just felt sad. For an ordinary family like theirs, no matter whether it is the father or the children, they can only do things in this way. Any mistake may lead to disaster.

Acting as the son of the Chen family, who knew nothing about anything, he described to his father Lin Xueyan and the Lin family from his perspective. He did not hide the fact that he had met Mrs. Lin, but only modified the meeting place and the content of the conversation, saying that he and Xueyan had a good relationship and they met by chance when they went to the compound for dinner.

The content of the conversation was nothing more than small talk.

Old Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. He had heard that Mrs. Lin was aloof and rarely said anything to a younger person.

There was a long silence, and he could only say to his son: "Stop messing with other girls. If you want to talk, talk seriously."

...His father has always been an open-minded person, at least when it comes to relationships between men and women.

After talking about partners, the next thing to mention is competitors. Regarding this part, Old Man Chen did not elaborate, but just reminded him that when going out in the future, he should take less small roads, try to travel with companions, and avoid going to sparsely populated places and messy occasions.

This sounded like something an old woman would say, and it didn't fit Old Man Chen's style and tone. This was because Secretary Yu was very frank, and he played the arrogance of a big family just right. He told Old Man Chen that doing business with them would inevitably make enemies and arouse envy. Moreover, in the current environment, the business that the Chen and Cheng families had worked so hard to build would be monopolized by some big bosses in the future.

It goes without saying who this big boss is.

In one sentence, the Lin family's intention was "made clear". Both Old Man Chen and Cheng Jun understood this to mean that the Lin family did not want a business partner. After all, the two parties were not on the same level in size. What they wanted was a pawn for the Lin family to do things in Wanghai.

So this is a business with very obvious advantages and disadvantages, benefits and backers, versus risks and enemies.

After thinking it through, the two family heads decided to move forward with this cooperation without much hesitation.

Old Man Chen is very steady, but more ambitious. He wants his family to live a good life. What's more, he believes that we are now living in a society ruled by law. No matter how lawless those people were in the past, they would not dare to be so presumptuous now. With a backer, his personal safety is definitely guaranteed.

He could never have imagined that his son was the one pushing all this behind the scenes.

......

......

Chen Tinghan and Wang Jinling discussed a new "cooperation". The matter concerned the girl's mother, Zhong Yinhua. The specific details of the cooperation depended on the subsequent development of the situation. But after that, time passed, and things were no different from what Chen Tinghan had expected. Everything went according to plan and progressed slowly. The days were peaceful and peaceful, without wind or rain.

Chen Tinghan has been wandering between the three girls, maintaining an ambiguous and dangerous balance. The only things they do are healthy interactions such as kissing and holding hands. The one who is most difficult for him to control is Wang Jinling. After all, the two of them had an intimate relationship in their previous life, and she is always hinting that her eighteenth birthday is about to come.

So now Chen Tinghan rarely meets her, and when they do, they never spend time alone together. That evil woman is always luring him into danger.

Everything was peaceful after that, and twenty days passed quietly. During this period of time, the person who made him lament the danger the most was not Wang Jinling, not Zhong Yinhua whom she mentioned, nor Wang Kai, but Mrs. Lin.

......

In the spacious empty room of the mansion, Chen Tinghan and Yu Yuanwei were practicing against each other. The boy, shirtless, launched a fierce attack on his master, using all his strength. The difference in physical strength between an adult and a teenager was apparent. In just fifteen minutes, Chen Tinghan stopped and stood there to recover his strength.

This is not his limit, it is just a sparring match where both sides hold back. It does not involve life or death or victory or defeat of who knocks down whom, so there is no need to exhaust yourself.

Master Yu stood there, his face flushed, but he seemed to be at ease. He looked at Chen Tinghan with admiration. He said with some surprise, "Heroes emerge young. What a promising young man! You've made rapid progress in such a short time. But why are your movements today so unconventional?"

"I just took a look at the moves others were using and, on a whim, I imitated them." Chen Tinghan stretched his legs and said, "I just wanted to see how you would respond."

Can you perform it effectively just by looking at it? Master Yu's eyes twitched, but he said nothing. "It's a wild move, not something you'd find in a gym. If someone is of the right age and has sufficient physical fitness, it can be quite threatening, but it's not for you."

Chen Tinghan just smiled without explaining. In fact, he just used the posture and movements that Ji Yanghai used that day, and copied them to draw a rough outline.

If it were in his previous life, when Chen Tinghan was at his peak, he could probably compete with his master and Ji Yanghai, but it was only a probability, because he and his master had never fought each other, and when he was at his peak, it was also when Master Yu was in his twilight years. If they fought at that time, it would be an unfair victory.

Chen Tinghan wiped the sweat from his neck with a towel, walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, and suddenly asked, "I've been thinking recently that when Li Feiche was causing trouble for my family that day, Mrs. Lin's attitude was not only about wanting to teach me a lesson, but also whether there was any other deeper meaning.

Now it seems that the one who has the most foresight is me, your backer."

Master Yu had just sat down when he heard this, and immediately he felt like a needle was dropped from his buttocks. He jumped up on the spot: "Master, Master, could you please not talk to me about this kind of topic? How should I respond?"
