"Elder Leng, now that it's just the two of us in the room, please speak your mind."
After Li Hongyi left, Lin Guoxiong looked at Elder Leng, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, and said.
However, Elder Leng, sitting opposite him, looked at Lin Guoxiong's nervous expression and burst into laughter, abandoning his previous stern demeanor.
He knew that Lin Guoxiong would inevitably be a little nervous seeing him come in person.
"Guoxiong, don't be nervous. I'm not here for anything major. I've just been at home for too long and decided to stretch my legs."
This was indeed true. Elder Leng was actually just out for a stroll. Of course, even if it was a stroll, he would naturally have something to discuss with Lin Guoxiong, though it wasn't a very important matter.
Hearing Elder Leng's words, Lin Guoxiong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since this esteemed elder said so, there naturally wouldn't be any pressing matters.
Although Elder Leng had just retired from his high position, his influence still remained.
Even though Lin Guoxiong had been in the business world for many years, he was still far from the iron-blooded aura of a soldier that Elder Leng possessed.
When Elder Leng was in the military, it was far from the peaceful times of today.
"However, Guoxiong, you also know that I've just retired, and this is a rather sensitive period. I can't interfere with customs, so this matter will have to trouble you."
Seeing Lin Guoxiong's relieved expression, Elder Leng continued.
Ultimately, this was a matter between businessmen. For this batch of goods to enter, it would naturally require money to smooth things over. Not only money but also a certain status, at least a status that could contend with the Wei family.
During this sensitive period, it was naturally not suitable for Elder Leng to pay to resolve the matter. However, he heard that the Lin family's young master had recently had some friction with the Wei family, so he took this opportunity to come here.
"That's natural. Besides, this is just a small matter. Since Elder Leng has come to visit me, I naturally have to host you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Guoxiong's previous nervousness completely vanished.
One had to know that among the four major families in Kyoto, the Leng family could only rank last in terms of industry, even falling behind the current Wei family.
However, although the Leng family had fewer industries, their influence far surpassed the other three families. Taking Elder Leng before him as an example, he was a prominent figure in the military, while Lin Guoxiong was, at best, just a businessman.
Among their four families, the Leng family and the Lin family had a good relationship, considered old friends.
After speaking, Lin Guoxiong directly dialed the phone on the table and instructed his secretary to prepare tea.
"Oh, right, Guoxiong, I heard your son has achieved great success recently!"
After Lin Guoxiong hung up the phone, Elder Leng continued. He had seen the news yesterday. Although he didn't understand this field, the title of China's only racer had indeed brought glory to the country in the sports world.
"Elder Leng is joking. It's just that my brat has recently made a small name for himself."
For Lin Guoxiong, his son becoming a race car driver was not something to brag about.
This was because, in Lin Guoxiong's eyes, Lin Yan was supposed to return and inherit the Lin Corporation.
"Oh, right, I also have something that requires the help of your Lin family this time, or rather, your son's help!"
Elder Leng finally steered the conversation to the main topic, which was precisely the purpose of his visit.
"Elder Leng, please speak directly if you have something to say."
Regarding the help Elder Leng mentioned, as long as the problem wasn't too big, Lin Guoxiong would definitely oblige. After all, it was good to accept favors when offered. However, he was curious about what kind of help his brat could offer Elder Leng.
"You must have heard that there was a robbery case in Kyoto recently, which the Kyoto police force, with their many elite riders, couldn't handle."
"My son-in-law works in the provincial department, and he's been under considerable pressure because of this matter, so I want your son to help train them when he returns!"
Elder Leng paused in the middle of his speech and observed Lin Guoxiong's expression before continuing.
However, Lin Guoxiong was not yet aware of Lin Yan pursuing the robbers on his Kawasaki H2. Li Wei had not reported it to him yet.
"You mean you want my son to help train these elite riders?"
As soon as Elder Leng spoke, Lin Guoxiong had already guessed the general idea!
"That's right!"
Elder Leng made this decision after watching the footage of Lin Yan chasing the robbers.
"Alright, I'll agree to this on behalf of my son. I'll have him go help out later."
Lin Guoxiong agreed, as it wasn't a major issue.
"However..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Guoxiong spoke again.
"To be frank, I also have a small favor to ask of you."
Of course, Elder Leng had no reason to refuse and gestured for Lin Guoxiong to continue.
"As you know, my son and the Wei family's young master have recently had a conflict, so I hope you can recommend some retired military experts who haven't found suitable jobs to me."
"This shouldn't be too difficult, right!"
This was within the normal scope; many people worked as bodyguards after retiring from the military.
After Elder Leng agreed, the secretary brought in the prepared tea.
Lin Guoxiong chatted with Elder Leng for a few more sentences, discussing matters in other fields. As it was getting late, Lin Guoxiong escorted Elder Leng out and then hurried back to his office.
It had to be said that even though Elder Leng had retired, he still had soldiers protecting him when he went out.
Lin Yan lay on his chair, resting, while watching the selection race for the 600cc category on the pit room screen.
The selection race had already reached its halfway point. Compared to the 1000cc category, the 600cc category was more dangerous.
This was not because their speeds were much faster; naturally, they were not as fast as the highest category. However, compared to the highest 1000cc category, the entry barrier for the 600cc category was lower, and the differences between the riders were greater.
This meant that it was very likely to see a situation where experts and novices appeared on the track simultaneously.
However, fortunately, no major accidents had occurred in this year's competition so far, which was undoubtedly a good thing!
In this race against death, Lin Yan, like every fan present, sincerely hoped that all the riders could complete the race safely.
