At this moment, Wang Yanshu suddenly cried out: "Oh, brother, what happened to your right ear? It seems to be bleeding!"
I was startled and quickly reached out to touch the aching ear, but I didn't feel any moisture or blood under my fingertips. It suddenly dawned on me that Wang Yanshu had played a trick on me.
Seeing my slightly flustered movements and awkward expression, Lin Xun and Wang Yanshu laughed unabashedly, one after the other, which made me feel embarrassed and angry.
Although Cui Yingying didn't understand what was going on, she couldn't help but laugh along because of the joyful atmosphere.
Lin Xun laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe. After finally calming down, he asked Cui Yingying curiously, "Yingying, why are you laughing too?"
Cui Yingying answered innocently, "Seeing you guys laughing so happily, I naturally laughed along with you. There must be something really fun going on."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Xun and Wang Yanshu laughed so hard that they almost cried.
I gritted my teeth secretly and swore to myself that I would find an opportunity to turn the tables and let Wang Yanshu also have a taste of being teased.
The plane landed slowly at the Xiaoji Airport, taxied to the apron, and finally landed smoothly. At the exit of the terminal, we were about to go our separate ways.
Cui Yingying waved to us with a big smile on her face and said goodbye: "Director Wang, Director Guan, goodbye!" There was some reluctance in her words.
Then, she pulled her suitcase and walked briskly towards the taxi stand.
Lin Mushroom still stood beside me, showing no sign of leaving. Wang Yanshu seemed to have noticed something and walked aside with interest, giving us some privacy.
I knew that Lin Mushroom had something to say to me, so I chose to stay.
Lin Xun's expression was filled with resentment. She said softly, "I almost didn't sleep last night. My mind was full of thoughts. I have met many persistent suitors in my life, but you are the only one I took the initiative to throw myself into the arms of. Moreover, you rejected me twice."
I sighed and replied, "It's not that I want to reject you, but I really can't bear your future, and I don't want to bring you any harm. Since Qingwan left, I have made up my mind not to enter the palace of marriage in this life."
She suddenly laughed when she heard that, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "You didn't really believe what that master said, did you?"
I smiled and didn't answer directly. No matter how she understood it, as long as she could let go of this tangled emotion, it would be the best result for me.
Lin Xun continued, "Guan Hongjun, you are a man with a conscience and a sense of responsibility. But sometimes, these qualities can also put you in a self-restrained situation. I hope you can break free from the constraints as soon as possible and emerge as a butterfly."
After that, she took a deep breath, as if to suppress all her emotions in her heart. She said excitedly: "I have long since stopped having any illusions about men. Your appearance has caused a slight stir in my heart. But all this has become the past. From today on, we will become close friends, forever friends."
There was a sense of determination and relief in her words, as if she was ready to embrace a new life.
땤I secretly thought in my heart that I was actually not as great and transcendent as she imagined. It was just that the hurdle of purity in my heart had not yet been overcome.
That night, Wang Yanshu and I found a hotel to stay in. The next day, Lin Haisheng sent a car to pick me and Wang Yanshu up, and then we went straight to Xiaocheng Steel Structure.
Under the guidance of Lin Haisheng, we stepped into General Lin’s magnificent office.
As always, she was enthusiastic and enthusiastic. After we sat down, she personally performed the tea ceremony, from placing the tea leaves, washing the tea leaves to brewing them. She was so skilled and focused in every step. Finally, she carefully poured half a cup of fragrant tea for each of us.
I know very well that this half cup of tea is not only a respect for our guests, but also a reflection of the ancient motto followed by General Lin: "Full wine means respect, full tea means deception." This subtle detail shows our hospitality and profound cultural heritage.
As the aroma of tea rose, Mr. Lin's topic naturally turned to tea and life: "A full glass of wine means treating each other wholeheartedly; a half-full cup of tea means leaving room for others. I admire your sincerity for coming from afar. However, as a businessman, I know that it is a taboo to act on emotion. Therefore, I must be frank. I am afraid I will disappoint you this time."
There was a certain determination in 놛's words, as if to completely block the way for cooperation. But Wang Yanshu and I had expected this and were already prepared to deal with it.
I smiled and replied, "Mr. Lin, you have come a long way from the beginning and have achieved today's glory. Your pioneering spirit is truly admirable. However, have you ever thought deeply about this? If an enterprise wants to last for a long time and become a long-standing store, inheritance is the key."
놛 slowly raised his head, looked at me intently, and said with a hint of humility: "I'd like to hear the details. I'm all ears."
I carefully considered my words and explained, "Lin's generation had gone through many hardships, so they always hoped to protect the next generation from the same suffering. This deep love is indeed natural and understandable. However, excessive protection may cause the next generation to lose their way in the greenhouse, and even lead to the decline of the family business. This is the reason why people often say 'wealth cannot surpass the first generation'."
Mr. Lin shook his head lightly, with a confident smile on his face: "I don't have this point. Although Haisheng may not be the most outstanding, I am confident that he is still a promising child."
I smiled and nodded in agreement: "General Lin is right. General Lin is indeed a very suitable successor in all aspects. However, under your protection, I have not experienced real storms and challenges. This can be said to be a shortcoming in my growth path. Only when I face difficulties alone and make decisive decisions can I truly cultivate an excellent successor. After all, true leaders are forged in actual combat."
Lin Haisheng sat behind his father and gave me an approving look that was full of recognition and expectations of me.
Mr. Lin laughed heartily at this moment, his voice was cheerful and infectious: "Director Guan, you have gone through so much trouble and done so much preparation, but your ultimate goal is to let me get Haisheng to invest and build a factory there."
I smiled and nodded, and told him frankly: "Yes, Mr. Lin is absolutely right. An eagle will have to test fly alone sooner or later. Only after experiencing wind and rain can it spread its wings and fly high. Here, I will not beat around the bush. The investment environment in Northeast China is complex and changeable. The more such an environment is, the better it can train a true eagle."
Upon hearing this, President Lin turned to look at his son, his eyes full of inquiry and expectation: "Haisheng, what do you think?"
Lin Haisheng answered without hesitation: "Director Guan's opinion is insightful. I completely agree with it."
Mr. Lin turned his head again and looked at me deeply. "On this point, Director Guan and I have exactly the same opinion. There is no difference. However, there are indeed some difficulties and problems within the company that are not known to outsiders."
I said slowly, "As an outsider, I don't want to comment too much on the specific affairs of your company. But the Romance of the Kingdom says at the beginning, 'The general trend of heaven is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division.' This is not only a law of history, but also a normal state in the business world. Western economist Markowitz once proposed the theory of 'not putting all eggs in one basket', and the ancient Chinese book Strategies of the Warring States also has the saying 'the cunning rabbit burrows'. These are the crystallization of human wisdom, and they are also similar to the principles of business management.
I would like to emphasize that the diversified business strategy can not only effectively disperse the operational risks of enterprises, but also alleviate the pressure of separation within enterprises to a certain extent. I remember that during the first visit, Mr. Lin mentioned the problem of improving the supporting facilities of logistics and warehousing. Not long ago, our county has made a major decision to allocate a piece of land for exclusive use to build a modern logistics park.
Previously, I went to Wenzhou for an in-depth investigation. The logistics industry there is booming at an unprecedented speed and has undoubtedly become a weathervane for the future development of the circulation field. In view of this, I sincerely hope that there will be a suitable choice among Mr. Lin’s family to work together to invest in this project with unlimited potential. ”
