NOVPUBChen Nan’s lips also curled into a faint smile as he sized up Lin Yuan, "Mr. Lin, are you threatening us?"
Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders with a playful smile on his face, "You could take it as a friendly reminder."
Chen Nan didn’t hide the disdain in his heart, "Even if you have some influence in the provincial capital, please don’t forget, this is Jizhou."
"Even if you are a big shot in the provincial capital, when you come to Jizhou, you need to follow the rules."
"This is not a place where you can run wild."
Lin Yuan seemed not to have expected Chen Nan to be so arrogant, and after a brief moment of surprise, he scoffed, "Although I come from the provincial capital, I have already signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Jizhou City Government."
"Here in Jizhou, every aspect must give me some respect."
"If you know what’s good for you, you’ll just do as I say, and don’t push your luck!" 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
He crossed his arms over his chest, his posture confident and arrogant as if he had everything under his control.
Chen Nan said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "That’s not necessarily the case!"
Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and said impatiently, "I’m not in the mood to waste time with a nobody like you." Then, he turned his attention to Yan Jin and her daughter, speaking impatiently, "I’m giving you twenty-four hours to think it over; I hope you won’t force me to lose my temper!"
With that, he turned and walked towards his Audi.
Watching his departing figure, Chen Nan’s voice slowly rose, "Mr. Lin, not everyone can find their footing in Jizhou."
Lin Yuan didn’t pay any attention to Chen Nan at all.
In his opinion, the words of a green youngster like Chen Nan weren’t worth a punctuation mark.
Afterward, he got into the Audi and disappeared in front of the villa in the blink of an eye!
"I must have been a terrible villain in my past life, otherwise why would I have encountered someone like Lin Yuan, a beast in human clothing?" After Lin Yuan left, Yan Jin’s eyes filled with crystal-clear tears, giving off an incredibly poignant and pitiable aura.
When she learned that Lin Yuan had come to Jizhou and wanted to see her daughter alone, she had a bad premonition.
However,
Her innately kind and pure heart kept consoling her, thinking that Lin Yuan had come to make up for his neglect towards his daughter.
But she had never dreamed that the beast would want to marry off his daughter into a rich family as a bargaining chip for his own benefits.
Lin Xi stood there, at a loss, seemingly unsure of how to face what was to come.
Chen Nan gently said, "Aunt Yan, Lin Xi, don’t worry about this matter; leave it to me to handle. I guarantee I can sort out the trouble that is Lin Yuan!"
After saying this, he touched his rumbling stomach and offered an embarrassed smile, "Uh, I didn’t have lunch, how about we have dinner a bit earlier?"
Sure enough, Yan Jin’s attention was immediately diverted. She wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and softly said, "Okay, I’ll go cook. You two go watch TV for a bit."
Chen Nan hummed an agreement and then went with Lin Xi to the living room. He had planned to watch TV to pass the time but seeing Lin Xi’s furrowed brow, he felt a pang of heartache.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Chen Nan’s mouth as he said helplessly, "I wasn’t lying, I really can take care of Lin Yuan."
Lin Xi’s eyes were helpless, shimmering with crystal-clear tears, "How can you take care of him?"
Chen Nan’s deep eyes revealed a hint of a thought-provoking smile, "Two methods."
Watching Chen Nan’s confident smile, Lin Xi’s heartbeat quickened, she immediately held her breath, her face full of anticipation as she looked at him.
Chen Nan said, "I have two methods on my side. First, to silently kill him without anyone noticing, which would solve the troubles he brings at their root."
Ever since merging with the King of Gu, Chen Nan had over a dozen ways to quietly dispose of Lin Yuan without raising any suspicion.
Lin Xi’s beautiful eyes trembled fiercely; she had no doubt about Chen Nan’s words, after all, the guy was a member of the Mystical Sect.
After coming to her senses, she shook her head with a lingering fear, "That’s too cruel, although I don’t like Lin Yuan, that hypocrite, he’s still my biological father!"
Chen Nan spoke lightly, "Then we’ll use the second method, drive him out of Jizhou, make it impossible for him to gain a foothold here!"
Lin Xi’s lips curled into a bitter smile, "That’s impossible."
"He mentioned during a meal before that he wants to invest two billion in Jizhou to build a large-scale food processing plant."
"That could provide thousands of job opportunities for Jizhou, and also boost Jizhou’s economy."
Chen Nan was unimpressed, "Since the fall of Dai Shouyi, the former secretary of the city committee, Jizhou’s economy is in need of an upstart, and a lot of people are looking to invest in Jizhou."
"Jizhou doesn’t lack an investor like Lin Yuan."
With that said, he spoke, "Let me make a call." He then took out his phone and dialed Li Yao’s number, the secretary to the current city committee secretary, Lu Yuanyang.
Once the call connected, he cut to the chase, "Brother Li, there’s something I need to ask about. Is there a businessman named Lin Yuan who wants to invest in a factory in our Jizhou?"
"Mr. Chen, please wait, I’ll look into it for you." Li Yao answered politely, then quickly began his investigation, and a moment later said, "Indeed, there is a businessman named Lin Yuan who wants to invest in establishing a factory in our Jizhou, he has previously been in contact with colleagues from the Investment Promotion Bureau, and the investment amount is two billion."
Chen Nan nodded slightly, then continued, "The people of Jizhou are warm and hospitable; if someone comes here with the sincere intention to invest and establish a factory, we should certainly welcome them and provide certain preferential policies."
"However, as far as I know, the character of this guy named Lin Yuan is problematic."
"For such a person to come to Jizhou to invest and build a factory, we really need to think twice!"
He didn’t elaborate further, because he was confident that Li Yao would understand his meaning.
Li Yao fell silent for a moment, then spoke with a troubled expression, "Mr. Chen, I understand your meaning, but this is a bit difficult to handle!"
"Currently, many enterprises from outside the area want to invest in Jizhou, and if we drive Lin Yuan out without good reason, we might be criticized, and it could even affect the newly established credibility."
Credibility is intangible but represents the reputation of the government.
If credibility is lost, then the society is thoroughly rotten.
"I’ll find a suitable opportunity to tarnish Lin Yuan’s reputation, by then we can rightfully send Lin Yuan packing," Chen Nan said with a wicked smile on his face, followed by a brief chat, and then hung up the call.
Chen Nan set his phone aside, looking curiously at Lin Xi, "Do you know if Lin Yuan has any particular proclivities?"
Lin Xi shuddered upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, her eyes also showing a hint of disgust, "Does it count as a peculiar proclivity if he likes men?"
"Ugh... that is really quite the peculiar taste!" Chen Nan showed a look of disdain, but in his heart, he already had a plan against Lin Yuan, a plan that could utterly ruin him!
