Chapter 269: Chapter 289: The More Lenient You Are to Me, the Harder You Strike _1

An old friend’s greeting?

Lai Yiliang seemed to understand and asked cautiously, "If the Chu family is finished, would Mr. Lin be the winner?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Even if I had eight hands, I couldn’t take down the Chu family by myself. But if the Chu family were defeated, then naturally, I would be a winner."

Lai Yiliang got it immediately.

If one person can’t handle it, find friends to help.

It’s like not being able to beat someone in a fight, so you find backup. Hasn’t it always been like this on the battlefield since ancient times?

When one power can’t beat another power, they unite with other powers to fight against a certain power. After winning, everyone sits down to divide the spoils of victory!

"I understand now, thank you, Mr. Lin, for the reminder. I know what to do."

Lin Chen smiled and said nothing more.

His relationship with the Chu family was a do-or-die one, so even if the people from the Chu family knew what he had said, it wouldn’t matter. But Lai Yiliang was an interesting and genuine person, so Lin Chen didn’t mind giving him a casual reminder.

Even Lin Chen felt that there was fate between him and Lai Yiliang as they were able to reunite in Linhai.

"Mr. Lin, about the relocation..."

Having discussed the private matters, Lai Yiliang pulled the topic back. Chu Songhui sent him and Chen Tao to handle this matter, and he had to give Chu Songhui a result.

Lin Chen shook his head and pointed his chin at Wang Zimin in the distance, "That young man, the one at the front, is my colleague. He invited me to dinner today, so I can’t just watch him get beaten by your people. As for the negotiation on compensation, I won’t participate. You understand what I’m saying, right?"

Lai Yiliang remembered Wang Zimin’s appearance, then smiled and said, "Understood! Mr. Lin, don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You don’t have to make things difficult for yourself. You can just report the truth. The Chu family is worrying about me right now. Last Saturday, Chu Songtao’s daughter, Chu Jiayi, offended me, so they sent her father’s bodyguards to beat me up. I sent them to the hospital and won 20 million from them. So, now the Chu family is worrying about me. Just report my name, and you won’t have to bear the responsibility."

Lai Yiliang’s eyes lit up, "Okay, let me make a phone call."

Lai Yiliang didn’t walk away, but instead, directly took out his phone and called Chu Songhui, "General Manager Chu, it’s me, Xiao Lai. There’s been a change in the situation, so I’d like to report it to you."

"We’re here, but the negotiations haven’t yielded results yet. They’re demanding the official published compensation price. Moreover, the people blocking our way here are very powerful. Chen went to find him, but they fought, and Chen was defeated and knocked out."

"That man is called Lin Chen, and he’s still here guarding."

"Yes!"

"Alright, I’ll deal with it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lai Yiliang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lin is really amazing! As soon as General Manager Chu heard it was you, he told me not to tangle with you and that I could relax the conditions and negotiate with the other party, and I must get the contract signed tonight."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The more he tolerates me now, the more hatred he has for me, and the heavier his hand will be when he moves against me."

Lai Yiliang cautiously asked for instructions, "Can I go and negotiate with them now?"

Lin Chen nodded his head, "Go ahead."

Lai Yiliang walked back and demonstrated his ability to handle things. In no time, he reached an agreement with the people and personally signed contracts with each household.

Lai Yiliang instructed the person in charge on-site to keep the contracts properly and carry out the rest of the routine work, while he himself rushed back to Lin Chen’s side.

"Mr. Lin, all the contracts have been signed. All the others have signed at 90% of the guidance price. Your friend, I personally handled it quietly, with 1.5 times the price."

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback. He had only mentioned Wang Zimin’s identity to alert Lai Yiliang not to hurt his friend. But he didn’t expect Lai Yiliang to secretly give Wang Zimin preferential treatment.

Fearing Lin Chen would overthink it, Lai Yiliang whispered, "Don’t worry, I’ve quietly told him. The contract is only known to him, and the payments are all separate. No one knows his contract is different. Besides, during the relocation process, there are always various contracts tailored to different situations. It’s a common occurrence."

Lin Chen laughed, "How will you report the extra money?"

Lai Yiliang whispered with a smile, "General Manager Chu asked me to negotiate as much as possible with his bottom line being the guidance price. There are more than ten households here, and I save 10% with each household. Giving an extra 50% to your friend, I’ve still saved quite a bit for the company. The main thing is to handle the matter well; things can’t always be rigid."

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. This guy was indeed a resourceful person with good judgment. No wonder he was recommended by a friend and then hired by Chu Songhui after a brief test.

Being recommended was due to his personal connections, but earning Chu Songhui’s approval was because of his ability.

Lai Yiliang asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else Mr. Lin would like to order? If not, I’ll take Chen Tao to the hospital. I can’t just leave him lying there."

Lin Chen shook his head, preparing to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "Oh, I just wanted to gossip a little. Is your female college classmate just a classmate?"

A smug look flashed in Lai Yiliang’s eyes, "On the surface, yes, but secretly, we slept together for two years, the kind where she’d come whenever I called..."
