Chapter 128: Boss Zhang, Do You Really Not Believe Me?

Chapter 128: Boss Zhang, Do You Really Not Believe Me?

Zhang Lin looked at Fu Yao, who was still motionless in the car, and ultimately had only one choice: to take her home.

"Can you drive?" Zhang Lin asked Ye Ling, who was still standing guard nearby.

The security chief was truly dedicated.

"Of course, boss!" Ye Ling immediately replied.

"Drive me back!" Zhang Lin instructed, getting into the back seat as well.

Fu Yao, drunk and motionless, needed to be taken care of. Knowing she would sway and be unsteady, he decided to hold her in his arms to keep her stable.

Ye Ling was a good driver, but he didn't know where Zhang Lin lived. So, he had to follow Zhang Lin's directions to reach the neighborhood.

Zhang Lin then carried Fu Yao upstairs.

Ye Ling hurried out of the neighborhood and called Liu De.

Soon, Liu De arrived in a tricycle, bringing the rest of the farm security team.

As soon as he got in the car, Ye Ling complained, "Liu De, you misrepresented the boss's orders. The boss only said to send a few people to keep an eye on things, but you brought everyone out."

"???" Liu De was taken aback. "Why are you talking nonsense? I clearly said the boss asked you to bring a few people to the bar, and you said the boss was in trouble, so I brought everyone."

"No, I didn't say that!" Ye Ling shook his head. "It must be a misunderstanding on your part. I told the boss exactly what you said."

"..." Liu De suddenly felt an urge to crash into an oncoming truck and end it all. But after a moment, he decided to let it go.

...

Zhang Lin was in a dilemma when he got home with Fu Yao.

The house his father bought was a typical three-bedroom, one-living room layout. One room was for his mother, one for himself, and the third was full of clutter, making it unsuitable for sleeping.

Should he put Fu Yao in his room? Sleep on the sofa?

Fortunately, his mother's room was open.

His mother, who was still awake late at night, solved his problem.

"Mom, can you help me take care of Fu Yao? She's drunk, and I drank a lot too!" Zhang Lin quickly said, feigning a tipsy demeanor.

"How did you both get so drunk? Put her in the room!" Lin Yan immediately instructed.

Zhang Lin carried Fu Yao into his mother's room and laid her on the bed.

After handing her over to his mother, he returned to his room, relieved.

Lin Yan looked at Fu Yao and found a clean towel to wipe her down, after all, she was her son's girlfriend!

...

The next morning, Zhang Lin woke up and checked the game interface in his mind, selling off the items that refreshed today. After that, he left his room and was surprised to see two figures bustling in the kitchen: Lin Yan and Fu Yao.

"Up already? Come and have breakfast! Fu Yao cooked it for you this morning!" Lin Yan greeted him as soon as he appeared.

"Uncle, breakfast is ready." Fu Yao greeted him nervously, her face slightly flushed.

Uncle had held her hand last night.

Zhang Lin nodded and sat down, tasting the breakfast Fu Yao had cooked. The memory of holding her hand last night wasn't as vivid as the feeling of holding her all night!

To be honest, Fu Yao's scrambled eggs were quite good and very tasty.

"Fu Yao, are you going to the farm with me, or are you going home first?" Zhang Lin asked while eating.

Fu Yao quickly replied, "I'll go to the farm. I already took a shower this morning, I just need to change into my work clothes!"

"Alright!" Zhang Lin nodded, and after finishing breakfast, he took Fu Yao to Lishan Farm.

Parking the Mercedes S-Class at the office center, he and Fu Yao got out, and the people at Lishan Farm, including Lin Muxue, all wore amused expressions.

Feeling their gazes, Fu Yao's face turned red instantly.

She wasn't stupid; they were definitely speculating. Flustered, she rushed into the office center.

"Senior Lin, you really showed me your dance moves last night!" Zhang Lin couldn't resist teasing her when he saw Lin Muxue.

"Boss Zhang, you must have seen wrong," Lin Muxue denied it outright, walking into the office center.

How was the carefree Lin Muxue from the bar last night related to the serious Director Lin at Lishan Farm today?

Zhang Lin smiled and followed her into the office center. After settling in his office, he soon saw Secretary Zhong Miaoying come in. "Boss Zhang, our farm's security team has become famous!"

"Because of the bar incident last night?" Zhang Lin guessed.

After all, the group's aggressive demeanor could easily be mistaken for troublemakers, and it was lucky no one called the police. If they had, the security team would have had to give statements and possibly even be bailed out.

Zhong Miaoying shook her head and showed him a video on her phone. "Boss Zhang, just watch this video to understand."

Looking at the video, Zhang Lin saw three tricycles driving down the road, each followed by a crowd of people standing densely. They were all wearing black vests and shorts, holding security batons in their hands.

While the scene looked impressive, the combination was a bit off.

The comments section was filled with mocking remarks:

"Damn, I thought these guys were going to a fight, but seeing those three tricycles, I couldn't help but laugh."

"They look strong, but the vehicles are terrible. Is this what the mighty Lu Bu is reduced to, riding such inferior horses?"

"Please, get a better vehicle. These tricycles don’t match these strong men!"

"..."

Zhang Lin sighed as he watched the video, reflecting on how people nowadays could find amusement in the most trivial things.

Seriously, who would even film this, and why were there so many people online who enjoyed this?

But as he put down his phone, he realized that this did indeed look a bit low-class.

This time, it was just a misunderstanding that led to the security team being mobilized.

But what if something serious happened next time?

These security guards would be the first to step up, so he might have to call on them.

Relying on tricycles would be embarrassing.

With that in mind, he picked up his phone and called the manager of the car dealership, Mr. Liu.

At the very least, he needed to get a few proper vehicles for the farm. After all, the security team would need them, and the farm staff could use them for various tasks.

For example, Liu De, who ran errands for him all day, looked a bit low-class driving around in a tricycle.

Mr. Liu, the owner of Dehui Car Dealership, arrived early in the morning. A customer’s car had arrived, and he needed to finalize the paperwork as quickly as possible.

While many families now bought cars, most preferred second-hand vehicles, especially used luxury cars like BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, and Audis (BBA).

The main reason was their prestigious reputation and attractive appearance.

Many people cared more about appearances. How many people could tell if a used BMW 5 Series was bought for 400,000 yuan or 200,000 yuan?

For 200,000 yuan, the down payment might only be a few thousand, and the monthly payments would be minimal.

For that price, one could look like they had a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

He had even seen a 17-year-old punk spend 20,000 yuan on a nearly scrapped BMW and use it to deceive innocent young girls.

Those girls only cared about the brand, not the condition of the car.

This was why BBA-level cars were becoming less valuable and more common on the streets.

Mr. Liu's daughter was in junior high school, and he often brought her to the dealership to learn about cars, to prevent her from being deceived by such punks.

His phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Mr. Liu’s face lit up with joy.

Last time, helping the Liyuan Farm get the LY888 license plate had cost him a lot, but it was worth it to gain this influential connection.

Many people in Youcheng were trying to get close to this person, but few had the opportunity.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, is there anything you need today?" Mr. Liu said respectfully after answering the call.

Zhang Lin got straight to the point: "Mr. Liu, we need some vehicles for the farm. We want to order five Great Wall P series trucks from you."

The Great Wall P series was a well-thought-out choice. First, the truck was imposing, and second, it could seat four people in the cabin and four more in the back, totaling eight people, plus the driver. Squeezing a bit, it could fit ten.

If something serious happened and the security team needed to be mobilized, five Great Wall P series trucks could transport fifty people.

Additionally, the farm staff could use these pickups for various tasks without looking low-class.

"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, I’ll take care of it for you first," Mr. Liu promised with a smile.

While each Great Wall P series truck only cost a few hundred thousand yuan, and five of them wouldn’t add up to a million, the fact that Mr. Zhang thought of him meant he had gained this influential connection.

If he did well this time, Mr. Zhang would likely come back for more.

Frequent interactions would build a strong relationship.

So, he put aside the task of finalizing the paperwork for another customer and focused on Mr. Zhang’s request.

Zhang Lin also smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you can come to the farm. We can sign the contract and pay the deposit here!"

"Mr. Zhang, what deposit? Don’t you trust me? I’ll get the vehicles for you first!" Mr. Liu dismissed the idea casually.

How could the Luyuan Farm renege on a few Great Wall P series trucks? Running to the farm just for a deposit would be disrespectful to Mr. Zhang.

So, after hanging up, he immediately called a Great Wall 4S dealership and said, "Give me the best price. I have five orders, and if the price is right, the order is yours."

After hanging up, he immediately dialed the number of the second 4S store salesperson.

He was determined to help Mr. Zhang, but he wasn't about to miss out on his own profit.

The 4S store was notorious, but now that he had an order for a Wotai car, he had a bit more leverage to negotiate, considering everyone at the 4S store had their own sales targets to meet.

Liyuan Farm

Zhang Lin hung up with a smile. He naturally picked up on Mr. Liu's ingratiating tone but could understand it. In these tough times, making money was hard, and everything was difficult, not everyone had an advantage like him.

Time passed quickly.

By the end of the day, Liyuan Farm welcomed a major internet celebrity, Zhao Lili, and her team, known for their beauty products.

Though the buzz was overshadowed by the bizarre lawsuit against the road administration, Liyuan Farm's moisturizing cream was still a hot topic, and it had a significant impact on Zhao Lili.

Since she had been paid 10 million yuan to make peace, she planned to make full use of this opportunity.

The taxi pulled up, and Zhao Lili stepped out, immediately noticing the dense crowd of visitors at Liyuan Farm.

For a small county farm to attract so many visitors was truly impressive.

"Zhao Lili, should we contact the farm staff now?" the planner asked.

"Let's check out that moisturizing cream first!" Zhao Lili replied immediately.

She had fallen for this cream and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

She had already found out that the moisturizing cream was sold at the rest area of the Liyuan Farm service center.

Zhao Lili quickly made her way to the sales point but found it empty, with only a sign standing there, no salesperson, and no products.

This puzzled her.

A young man nearby, who had been loitering around the sales counter, smiled and said, "Miss, you're too late. Liyuan Farm's moisturizing cream usually sells out by noon. The campers flood in early in the morning."

Zhao Lili sighed.

She knew that with such good results, the product wouldn't be hard to sell.

The young man then said, "Miss, I happen to have one box of the moisturizing cream. I waited in line early this morning, so if you need it, I can transfer it to you!"

"How much?" Zhao Lili understood; scalpers had already emerged.

It wasn't surprising. Whenever something was popular and hard to get, scalpers would appear.

"1000 yuan!" the young man replied immediately.

"I'll take it," Zhao Lili said without hesitation.

1000 yuan was nothing to her, less than what some fans might tip.

Taking the box of moisturizing cream, she moved to the side and eagerly tried it out, urging the planner, "Try it too."

The two of them quickly realized the cream's effectiveness and exchanged a glance.

"Ah, I really messed this one up!" Zhao Lili sighed.

Liyuan Farm's moisturizing cream was indeed better than international brands, and as a cosmetics blogger, she lacked the credibility to discredit such a product.

So, her previous attempt to smear it was destined to fail.

"You have to try it to know how good Liyuan Farm's moisturizing cream is," the planner sighed.

"Let's contact the farm staff now," Zhao Lili said.

Soon, Liyuan Farm received the news of Zhao Lili's arrival, and Lin Muxue personally greeted her.

Zhang Lin also came out to take a look, given that he had taken advantage of her and received 10 million yuan.

When he arrived at the operations department, he saw Lin Muxue and Zhao Lili posing for a friendly video.

Zhao Lili was quite attractive, though not as beautiful as her online photos, she had a great figure and very fair skin.

After a brief look, he lost interest and returned to his office.

By evening, Zhao Lili and the farm had released their harmonious video, posting it on both of their social media accounts.

It was all for show, portraying the previous incident as a misunderstanding and emphasizing their friendly relationship.

The next day, both videos went viral, especially with Lin Muxue's reappearance, which reminded netizens and fans of her previous spicy dance video.

Although the spicy dance video was quickly banned, many people had saved it and uploaded it again with some censorship, making it even more popular.

However, what left Zhang Lin speechless was that Lin Muxue's sudden fame quickly affected him, leading to some very awkward situations.
