"Young Master Lin, hello," Qiao Weiwei greeted with a smile.
"Hello," Lin Junhao nodded slightly. However, he wasn't here to discuss how to pick up girls. While he wanted to know, it wasn't important. After all, as the young master of the Lin family, he couldn't possibly seek out so many women like Li Se. He needed to be more restrained.
At this moment, he couldn't help but glance at his sister and sighed. This was bound to be impossible. No matter how much his sister liked Li Se, the Lin family would not allow the eldest daughter of the Lin family to be a concubine to someone else.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly," Li Se stated bluntly.
Lin Junhao smiled and then said, "The Mu Zi Chamber of Commerce has been clashing fiercely with the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce recently. The Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce is currently in internal chaos, with many large and small groups wanting a piece of the pie. However, with my support, this situation has improved considerably. Doctor Li, I know the Mu Zi Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful, especially since you were the one who brought down Luo Bei and his son. Therefore, I hope we can cooperate."
Cooperation? Naturally, it wasn't impossible.
Li Se had anticipated this long ago. He asked, "What kind of cooperation are you proposing?"
"There are many ways to cooperate. What I can guarantee is that all major business cooperations in the chamber of commerce from now on will be given to your Mu Zi Group, ensuring continuous profit flow to your company. How about that?" Lin Junhao offered.
"Strategic cooperation?" Li Se smiled and shook his head. "Young Master Lin, I have no interest in these things. My only goal is to annex the entire Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. If it's just cooperation, Luo Bei offered me fifty billion to let him go. Can your proposed cooperation exceed fifty billion?"
Fifty billion!
That was not a small sum!
No, it was a huge sum.
Lin Junhao fell silent. "Damn it! This guy actually dares to ask for that much. He was absolutely certain that Luo Bei would never have offered such a high price. Perhaps one or two billion was possible, but this guy directly quoted fifty billion. Now that Luo Bei and his son are behind bars, no one can prove whether Li Se is telling the truth or not. Even if it's false, it has to be treated as true. What can be done? Li Se holds the upper hand right now."
"You're asking for the moon! How could my father offer you fifty billion?" Luo Lin immediately protested. Although he was somewhat afraid of Li Se, with Lin Junhao present, he didn't believe Li Se would dare to lay a hand on him.
Li Se raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Qiao Weiwei on the side chuckled, "Why is it impossible? Compared to fifty billion, isn't it better than going to jail? Or do you think you've never done anything illegal in your life, and that's why you're so reckless?"
"Damn it!"
Li Se looked at Qiao Weiwei in surprise. Her words were domineering, directly issuing a threat.
This also made Luo Lin's expression change back and forth. He suddenly realized something. Since Li Se could obtain evidence of his father and elder brother's crimes, what about his own? Perhaps he could get that too. Forget it, I should say less.
Lin Junhao also sighed. He truly didn't want to be an enemy of Li Se, especially since Li Se had saved his grandfather and his sister. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Doctor Li, are there any other ways we can cooperate?"
Li Se shook his head and said, "I've put in a lot of effort for this Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. Are you asking me to give up now?"
Lin Junhao sighed. "Doctor Li, since that's the case, I can only give up. I will cooperate with you and allow you to annex the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce."
Li Se was taken aback. Lin Junhao's decision was unexpected.
"Young Master Lin, how can you let him annex it?" Luo Lin was shocked. If the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce was annexed, what would be left for him?
"Luo Lin, you won't be able to hold onto this Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. Since that's the case, you can cooperate with Doctor Li on behalf of yourself. This might bring you many benefits," Lin Junhao kindly reminded him.
However, Luo Lin paid no attention to this. His face was unsightly, and his eyes even held a hint of hatred.
But just as Li Se didn't take Luo Lin seriously, Lin Junhao took Luo Lin even less seriously.
With Lin Junhao's help, annexing this Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce would only take a matter of minutes.
After the meal, Li Se took his leave. Back in the car, Qiao Weiwei asked with some confusion, "Young Master Lin isn't as difficult to deal with as I imagined. He actually cooperated so readily. If he hadn't, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to annex the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. By the way, why is Young Master Lin suddenly so agreeable?"
Li Se was also somewhat surprised and said with a complex expression, "Perhaps I overestimated his self-interest. I treated his grandfather and saved his sister. Perhaps that's why he loosened up a bit."
"But no matter what, we still need to thank him properly," Lin Wanqiu said with a smile.
"Yes," Li Se nodded.
Meanwhile, at the Lin residence.
Lin Junhao went to the study and recounted the events of the day in detail. Finally, he added with a smile, "Father, your calculations were indeed accurate. After the Luo Bei father and son were taken away, we promptly pushed Luo Lin forward. In this situation, Li Se must have expected us to engage in a market confrontation with him. He was even stunned when I said I would fully cooperate today."
"Li Se has excellent medical skills and many tricks up his sleeve, but when it comes to strategy, he's still a bit immature. The mere Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce is nothing to our Lin family," Lin Wu Nan said with a hearty laugh. "He probably couldn't guess that our support for the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce was purely for him."
In fact, after the Luo Lin father and son of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce were apprehended, it wouldn't have been difficult for Li Se to annex it with his methods. However, at this point, the Lin family intervened, increasing the difficulty. Finally, they announced their full cooperation, which would only make Li Se grateful and touched.
"Whether Li Se is grateful or touched, at least our relationship with him has been brought closer. Moreover, by choosing to withdraw, we have sacrificed considerable benefits. No matter what, he owes us a favor. Of course, we also owe him a favor, but at least this ensures our good relationship," Lin Junhao said with a smile.
As if thinking of something else, Lin Junhao looked at Lin Wu Nan and asked with some confusion, "Father, previously the situation was unclear, and you told us to maintain distance. Why did you want to maintain a relationship with him in your heart?"
Lin Wu Nan looked at Lin Junhao and revealed a foxy, cunning smile. "It's your good relationship with him, not the Lin family's. There's still a difference!"
