"Exactly, we won’t agree to matters of principle, while for matters that aren’t about principle, there’s really no need to involve my dad." As he listened to Chen Zhengxin’s words, Bai Zicong nodded in agreement, feeling frustrated.

Some time ago, because of the deal with Zhou Xingxing to get Li Changlin’s help with writing songs, he intervened and helped Zhou Xingxing get a license plate numbered 51888, only for his old man to find out and give him a scolding.

"I’m looking for your uncle concerning driving school matters," Li Changlin said, realizing Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin must have misunderstood something, and quickly explained.

"There’s no problem with you running a driving school, haven’t I already taken care of the permits for you?" Bai Zicong put down his chopsticks and asked with a puzzled look, "Look, Li, isn’t it the Drivers’ Association giving you trouble? Don’t worry, I’ll make a call for you and get the Association to set you up with a vice-chairman position."

"It’s neither of those, I’m telling you, Zi Cong, stop guessing, will you? No one’s causing me any trouble." Li Changlin could only give a wry smile but felt very moved seeing Bai Zicong care so much about his affairs.

He couldn’t help but share his idea of offering free driving lessons.

Damn, Li, are you running a charity? Offering free driving lessons?"

"Changlin, if you do this, where will the profit for the driving school come from?"

After hearing Li Changlin’s explanation, both Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin were stunned.

Bai Zicong was somewhat better off, but Chen Zhengxin, who was an entrepreneur himself, knew Li Changlin was simultaneously opening seven driving schools. If he chose to offer free lessons at all of them, that would really be something.

Free stuff, nobody would turn that down; naturally, there was no need to worry about attracting customers.

But now, the more customers there were, the greater Li Changlin’s losses would be, right?

"I’ve naturally considered the issue of profitability," Li Changlin said, feeling quite pleased with himself.

But speaking of it, he really had to thank Eyes Within Eyes for this idea.

At that time, Eyes Within Eyes had just taken on a project that turned out to be a perfect complement to Li Changlin’s offer of free driving lessons.

Li Changlin didn’t need to hide anything from the two, so he quickly gave them an overview of the situation.

"Your model isn’t bad; it might even set a new trend!" Chen Zhengxin, chin in hand, had a gleam of inspiration in his eyes.

Lately, the theater business had been shrinking. Three new theaters had opened near Divine Dragon Square, presenting quite an aggressive challenge.

If they could emulate Li Changlin’s marketing methods, they might just be able to revive the theater’s business.

How to plan this was, however, another question.

"Zhengxin, surely you’re not thinking of adopting Li’s approach in the theater, are you?" Bai Zicong couldn’t help laughing as he saw Chen Zhengxin’s expression.

The reason the two had met today was that Chen Zhengxin was seeking Bai Zicong’s help with the theater’s situation.

Yet, when it came to business, Bai Zicong never had much enthusiasm for it.

He had only invested in Sky Horse the last time because he wanted Li Changlin’s help with songwriting, and it was more like a hobby.

When Chen Zhengxin talked to him about operational issues at Guangming Opera House, he was truly putting Bai Zicong in a difficult spot.

"Yeah, I think Changlin’s idea is quite good. It’s only the free elite access to the theater that I need to think through carefully," Chen Zhengxin admitted openly. He took the idea from Li Changlin and was ready to implement it.

"If you do that, you’ll have to pay me a patent fee!" Hearing Chen Zhengxin’s words, Li Changlin couldn’t help but laugh.

Meanwhile, seizing the opportunity, Yang Mingzhu suddenly looked up and said, "Brother Bai, could you please do me a favor?"

"Oh, Miss Yang, what would you like me to do?" Bai Zicong was slightly startled and asked with curiosity.

With her lips trembling, Yang Mingzhu said, "I want to meet Bai City Lord. My father has been framed— he is innocent!"

"Is that so?"

"Director Yang has been framed!"

"Miss Yang, what has happened to your father?"

Yang Mingzhu’s words shocked both Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin immensely.

As for Li Changlin, he was somewhat bewildered.

After all, he had not known Yang Mingzhu for long, and he didn’t know much about Zhiwei Real Estate Company either.

"My father has been falsely accused of tax evasion and is also suspected of money laundering, but actually, he has been set up!" At this moment, Yang Mingzhu seemed like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline.

She had never had the chance to get close to the City Lord before. Now, upon learning that Bai City Lord was actually Bai Zicong’s father, she naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

"Even my father probably couldn’t be of much help with this matter!" Yet to her surprise, Bai Zicong responded with a wry smile and a shake of his head.

His father may have held a high position of power in Jincheng, but the prosecutor’s office and the court in Xuanyuan Country were managed vertically. His father simply could not interfere with their work.

Moreover, if his father were to intervene, it would actually be overstepping his authority.

Although Bai Zicong was eighty percent sure that his father would inquire with the relevant departments after learning the truth about the matter, he didn’t want his father to get involved.

Everyone has their own concerns. Although Bai Zicong was candid with Li Changlin, this was Yang Mingzhu’s issue after all. He couldn’t risk putting his own father in danger for a woman he had only just met.

Moreover, the expression on Li Changlin’s face had made Bai Zicong realize that Li Changlin and Yang Mingzhu were not very familiar with each other after all.

Seeing that she hadn’t disclosed her father’s situation to Li Changlin, it was apparent that Yang Mingzhu and Li Changlin had not known each other for very long.

Therefore, Bai Zicong naturally knew Yang Mingzhu couldn’t possibly be Li Changlin’s girlfriend.

Besides, if she really were his girlfriend, Li Changlin wouldn’t keep addressing her as Miss Yang.

"Why can’t you help? Isn’t your father the City Lord? Doesn’t he have the final say over the entire Jincheng?" The words of Bai Zicong felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Yang Mingzhu.

She stared at Bai Zicong in a daze, her eyes filled with sorrow and confusion.

Bai Zicong quickly turned his head to the side, but lightly kicked Chen Zhengxin with his foot.

"Miss Yang, although Bai City Lord holds a lot of power and influence, there are some things in Jincheng that he can’t simply do as he pleases." Receiving Bai Zicong’s hint, Chen Zhengxin intuitively understood, "And even if Bai City Lord really wanted to help you, if he meddled in the workings of the prosecutor’s office and the court, he would definitely face complaints from both institutions. In doing so, Bai City Lord might end up implicating himself as well."

"Yes, Miss Yang, if your father truly has been wronged, I suggest you better submit the relevant evidence to the prosecutor’s office or the court." After Chen Zhengxin spoke the words Bai Zicong found hard to say, Bai Zicong felt relieved and quickly offered Miss Yang some advice.
