Dashing Student

"I'm not the kind of person who loves to stand out!" Chen Nan smiled and then added, "Nothing much, just inquiring about Zhao Zhenghui's affairs."

"Well, it's getting late. You should rest early!" After saying this, the call was ended.

Seeing Chen Nan hang up the phone, Lin Yuanshan's legs gave way, and he slumped onto the sofa. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. He looked at Chen Nan with a face full of awe, his voice shaking slightly, "Mr. Chen, you said before that you are a loner, with no backing, but doesn't Governor Hu count as your backing?"

"We are just friends; he can't be considered my backing," Chen Nan said evenly. In his life, he had never thought of relying on anyone.

Lin Yuanshan struggled to regulate his breathing, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

Although he knew nothing of Chen Nan's true identity, one thing was crystal clear—forming an alliance with Chen Nan was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Lin Family, all benefit and no harm.

After all, being on such good personal terms with someone as well-regarded as Governor Hu in the political arena, Chen Nan's influence was immeasurable.

"If Mr. Lin is interested in joining forces, I can provide the resources and connections you desire," Chen Nan said lightly, sipping his tea, his words exuding irrefutable confidence: "I can help the Lin Family become the number one powerhouse in Provincial City in a short time."

If these words were spoken by someone else, Lin Yuanshan would scoff, deeming them as delusions; after all, such a target seemed unattainable.

But now, knowing of Chen Nan's friendship with Hu Zhenguo, a flicker of expectation surged in his heart, feeling that it was not entirely impossible.

Lin Yuanshan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and spoke cautiously, "What can our Lin Family do for Mr. Chen?"

As a seasoned businessman, he knew the rules of the marketplace well; it was impossible for Chen Nan to support the Lin Family without wanting something in return.

Chen Nan's gaze was piercing as he put it succinctly, "I want forty percent of the Lin Family's shares!"

"Forty percent?" Lin Yuanshan frowned at these words, pondering for a moment before slowly shaking his head, "If the Lin Family really can become the number one powerhouse in Provincial City, giving you only forty percent of the shares would be too little."

He silently calculated in his mind; Chen Nan's connections and resources could bring about a qualitative leap for the Lin Family, their value hard to estimate.

Once the Lin Family rose to the top in Provincial City, their market value would increase geometrically, and the benefits brought by forty percent of the shares then would be far less than the value created by Chen Nan's support in their rise.

Rather than being overly stingy with shares and missing this rare opportunity, it would be wiser to be generous with profits in exchange for Chen Nan's full support.

"Let's do this, the Lin Family will give you sixty percent of the shares," Lin Yuanshan said, biting the bullet and speaking with determination.

Chen Nan was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Lin Yuanshan to take the initiative and offer such a high proportion of shares.

His gaze intense, he scrutinised Lin Yuanshan, trying to discern any ulterior motives in his eyes.

However, all that met his gaze was the sincerity and resolute desperation of Lin Yuanshan.

"Mr. Lin, you need to think this through clearly. Sixty percent is not a small number; it means that most of the decision-making power of the Lin Family will be in my hands," Chen Nan said in a steady tone, slowly speaking, in reality giving Lin Yuanshan one final chance to reconsider.

He was not a greedy man, but he understood well that the business world was like a battlefield, where every decision was a matter of life and death.

Lin Yuanshan straightened up, his gaze firmly meeting Chen Nan's, "Mr. Chen, I've thought it through clearly."

"Without your help, it would be extremely difficult for the Lin Family to take a further step in the fiercely competitive business circle of Provincial City."

"Instead of struggling in the current situation, it's better to seize this opportunity and take a gamble."

"Moreover, I trust your character, Mr. Lin. Since you have decided to cooperate with the Lin Family, you must intend to grow and strengthen the family's business, not take it over for yourself."

Chen Nan nodded slightly, expressing agreement with Lin Yuanshan's words, also feeling his determination, which made him even more thankful for seeking cooperation with the Lin Family!

"Alright, since Mr. Lin trusts me so much, let's consider this deal sealed."

"However, there's one thing I want to make clear beforehand."

"Although I hold sixty percent of the Lin Family's shares, all decision-making power remains in Mr. Lin's hands."

"You just need to treat me as a hands-off shareholder!"

As a cultivator, he would not devote all his thoughts to the business world.

Therefore, he did not plan to meddle in any of the Lin Family's business affairs!

As the two were conversing,

clear footsteps sounded from upstairs.

The next moment,

Lin Xue, wearing a black slip dress and smiling, walked down.

Lin Xue donned a pair of black strappy high-heels, the clicking of the heels on the floor adding a rhythmic sense to her entrance.

Her long wavy hair tumbled freely over her shoulders, a few playful strands falling beside her pale cheeks.

Brows like distant mountains, the meticulously shaped arches framed her slightly upturned phoenix eyes, which glistened like bottomless pools that flirted with the light.

At the corners of her eyes, a touch of vibrant red eyeshadow spread out, resembling burning flames, accentuating her seductive charms to the fullest.

Her nose was high and finely chiseled, her lips like ripened cherries, painted with bright red lipstick that was lush and full, slightly pouted as if silently speaking volumes of temptation.

Her skin, as white as snow, radiated a soft glow under the warm yellow light of the living room, resembling a piece of exquisite porcelain.

The black slip dress clung perfectly to her body curves, the neckline cut just right, revealing vast expanses of snowy skin and a deep clavicle.

The shoulder straps, slim and delicate, barely clung to her rounded shoulders, seeming like they could slip off at any moment, adding an elusive sexiness.

The length of the dress stopped mid-thigh, exposing her long, straight legs unabashedly, revealing tight and smooth lines, their skin fine and silky, twinkling with enchanting luster under the light.

Every move she made exuded an inherent enchanting charm, swaying gracefully with each step, like an elegant yet dangerous black cat, nonchalantly revealing languor and allure that made it difficult to look away.

Seeing Lin Xue dress like this, Chen Nan's heartbeat quickened, reminded of the incident during her treatment, and a flicker of desire arose within him.

Lin Yuanshan could clearly sense some change in his daughter's aura, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly had changed.

"Xue'er, where are you off to this late at night?" Lin Yuanshan asked, looking puzzled.

Lin Xue flashed a mischievous smile, "Dr. Chen helped me with my treatment, I'm just inviting him out for some late-night food, is that reasonable?"
