Happy Shennong

Chapter 105 Linger's thoughts

After a while, Zhong Wanlong raised his head suddenly: "Dahu, what do you think about this matter?"

"I..." Dahu rubbed his head, and said in a straightforward manner, "At first, I thought that Linley was not a person who didn't agree with what he meant. Since he had already made it clear that he would not cooperate with Shunchang Group, he probably wouldn't secretly Reached a deal with Niu Tiannan. However, it is really puzzling that he and Niu Tiannan are so close."

"Maybe... the truth is not what we see."

"No..." Duhu suddenly thought of something, and said nervously, "Master, I have reported to you before that Linley is generally not scheming. But once he is scheming, he will be very scheming." Deep. Did he tell you his beautiful words on purpose? Including when Niu Tiannan approached him for the first time, did he find out that he was being watched and threw away Niu Tiannan's business card on purpose?"

Zhong Wanlong rubbed his temples again, thought for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Don't jump to conclusions. From the bottom of my heart, I still believe in Linley. The principle of this old man is that you should not be suspicious of people. Since you have chosen to trust him, this old man It's not easy to doubt him."

"But...Master, the two meetings between him and Niu Tiannan, especially this time, are really abnormal."

"The old man just said that the facts may not be what we imagined. After all, seeing is not necessarily believing. Niu Tiannan is very smart. He is the only person in the entire Shunchang Group that I admire. Based on what I know about him, we What we see now is probably what he showed us on purpose."

Du Hu nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense, master."

"So, don't change your opinion on Linley until the truth is revealed. If we offend him unintentionally, then we will lose a lot. And this is probably Niu Tiannan's goal."

"I understand. Master, then you should do your work first." Dumb nodded respectfully, then turned and left.

"Wait!" Zhong Wanlong stopped him and asked softly, "Is there any progress on the traitor you were asked to investigate?"

Dui shook his head: "I don't have a clue yet. It's so strange. We have used a lot of manpower and done a lot of work, but we haven't found any clues. No... Master, it's Mr. Lin Lei who is responsible for the traitor. It was brought up, right? Then this so-called traitor... Could it be a smoke screen he dropped? Is it to disrupt our position, or to divert our attention?"

"This..." This time, Zhong Wanlong also frowned.

Not to blame him for being suspicious, but what Dumb said, there is indeed a certain truth.Including what was mentioned just now, it seems reasonable that Linley deliberately threw away his business card to show them off.

A series of doubts raised by Du Hu pushed Lin Lei to the forefront.

Zhong Wanlong's meditation this time was obviously longer than before.However, in the end he still chose to stick to his original idea: "We can keep these suspicions, but the old man is still willing to believe him, do you understand what the old man means?"

"Yes, got it."

"Okay, then you go."

After Dumb left, he quickly found Zhong Ling.He probably understood what Zhong Wanlong meant, but he was not sure, so he wanted to find someone to confirm.

Zhong Ling's expression darkened when he heard this, "Why do you doubt Linley?"

"Uh..." Duo had no choice but to explain, "Master had no doubts about Linley, but... the recent incidents really made people suspicious."

"No matter what you think, anyway, I trust Linley 100%. I don't think he will cooperate with Shunchang Group in private behind our backs. Even if he is persuaded by Niu Tiannan, he will not do so without telling us. In addition, He told me about Niu Tiannan looking for him last time."

Du Hu frowned and said, "He told you? Then this matter...it's really difficult to judge."

"Okay, Brother Big Tiger, don't worry about this matter, I'll talk to Dad later."

Zhong Ling quickly rushed to the Wanlong Building, which is the headquarters of the Wanlong Group, and found his father.

Although Zhong Wanlong was very busy, but when his precious daughter came, he still had to take time to accompany her.

What's more, it was obvious that they were going to talk about Linley, a person he valued very much, and this also aroused his interest.

The most important thing was that for Linley's affairs, Zhong Ling came to him without delay even though he knew he was very busy.This is what he is most curious about...

The combination of three reasons made him put down the work at hand, made a pot of tea, and chatted with Zhong Ling in the reception area.

When Zhong Ling faced his father, he always came straight to him.She sternly expressed her firm support for Lin Lei, and then explained to her father what Lin Lei had told her about Niu Tiannan looking for him.

In the end, Zhong Ling concluded: "Dad, think about it. Although our group is larger than Shunchang Group, we are mainly engaged in retail business, and we have nothing to do with Linley's half-dollar business. Our catering department has just been established. At present, it cannot be compared with Shunchang Group at all. If I put myself in Linley's position, I will definitely not hesitate to cooperate with Shunchang Group, a larger catering platform."

"The analysis makes sense, then what?" Zhong Wanlong nodded with great interest.

"Linley didn't do that. I don't know the specific reason why he insisted on cooperating with us, but I guess it was because the first partner he found was me, or our group. Dahu said that even if Linley is willing to cooperate with the Shunchang Group, judging by his personality, he will tell us. We all know that Linley is a good person who values ​​love, righteousness, and integrity. How can you doubt him? What? If you let him know that you are suspicious of him and even plan to investigate him, how chilling will he be?"

"Huh? Who said he was going to be investigated?"

Zhong Ling paused, calmed down, nodded and said, "It's fine if there is none. Although Linley is kind, he is not without temper. Under the current situation, it seems that our group is helping him by purchasing his vegetables. He also provided him with seeds of high-grade ingredients. In fact, he is helping us. Without his new vegetables, Lan Tian and Qing Yun would not be able to fully double their income in just a few months. In other words, if our catering department wants to become bigger and stronger, we must rely on Linley."

"Well... To be precise, it depends on his new vegetables."

"So, if he makes him anxious, he can terminate the cooperation with our group at any time. If we get to that point, our catering department will have to start from scratch again, and the prospect is slim. And there are many catering groups that want to cooperate with him It’s gone. This can be seen from the fact that Shunchang Group actually sent Niu Tiannan, the most capable person in the entire group, to win over him, a grassroots vegetable farmer.”

"Clap clap clap..."

Zhong Wanlong nodded in satisfaction, and started applauding involuntarily: "Ling'er, I really didn't expect that you could analyze so many problems from a small conflict, and you said everything in a reasonable way. I didn't even expect that you would be so kind to Linley. Partner, you actually understand so clearly. Linger, after hearing so much from you, Dad also understands that he really shouldn't doubt Linley. Dad apologizes to you. However, can you tell Dad why you are so obsessed with Linley? Are you so nervous?"

"Ah?" Zhong Ling was taken aback, "Am I nervous?"

"Maybe you don't know it yourself. When you get nervous, the speed of speech will speed up. With the speed of your speech just now, those who don't know may think we are arguing."

"Well, I... I just don't want you to wrong a good person, let alone offend a partner that the group must rely on. Dad, since your doubts have been dispelled, then I won't bother you."

After speaking, Zhong Ling got up and left.

Although Zhong Wanlong still had doubts in his heart, judging from Zhong Ling's reaction just now, it was not time to ask.Even if he asked, he would not get an answer, and it might even arouse Zhong Ling's resentment.

Originally, he had only a little bit of doubts about Linley, he just couldn't figure it out, it wasn't doubtful at all.After Zhong Ling's "pointing", his heart became much brighter.His good impression of Linley was not compromised by it.

The next day, Linley came to Zhong's house early, and he must have hitched a ride with Zhong Wanlong on his way to Longteng.

When Zhong Wanlong travels far away, it is never possible to go alone, especially when the itinerary is made public.Just like this time, a total of two vehicles were dispatched.In addition to the personal bodyguard, Du Hu, and an assistant at work, there were four other bodyguards, plus Lin Lei, and there were exactly eight of them in the group.

A Volvo SUV cleared the way ahead, and there were three bodyguards and Zhong Wanlong's assistant in the car.

Behind is a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, and Duo and a bodyguard split the main and co-pilot positions.It takes seven hours to drive to Longteng, and two people must alternate driving.Linley and Zhong Wanlong sat in the back row.

In comparison, the interior decoration of Zhong Wanlong's imperial car is even worse than Niu Tiannan's.In addition to the necessary furniture, the sofa in the car can also be used as two small beds.

When I first got in the car, I was in good spirits and could chat.After a few hours, they began to doze off and eventually fell straight asleep.

When Linley woke up and found that he had already entered a bustling city, it was obvious that the dragon had arrived.

As the capital city of the province, Longteng is also one of the five super-first-tier cities in China. It is also a glamorous international and prosperous metropolis, which is more than one level better than Qingyun.

Linley had only passed by a few times before, and they had only stopped at the train station for a short time, and had never been to the city at all.So when you enter the city, everything you see feels fresh.

However, the speed of the car is not slow, so we can only take a quick look at it through the glass.

Da Fei, who was driving, looked at the time and asked, "Master, it's already 04:30, should we go to the hotel or the exhibition hall first?"

"Let's go to the exhibition hall first, get the business done, and take a good rest today."

"Ok."

Da Fei nodded, marked the location of the exhibition hall on the navigation, and hurried away according to the indicated route.
