Chapter 220: Linyuan Farm Is No Joke!
Chapter 220: Linyuan Farm Is No Joke!
Lin Muxue didn't believe a word Zhang Lin said.
This boss must be either running a fever or getting too full of himself.
Sure, Linyuan Farm is doing well, but compared to the conglomerates these people run, it's nothing.
At least, that's the case for now.
For the boss to ask them to personally come over and chat with him, isn't that just a pipe dream?
Zhang Lin looked at the fair-skinned palm on his forehead, put on a serious face, and said, "Sis Lin, you don't believe me? How about we make a bet?"
Lin Muxue teased, "You're for real? What kind of bet?"
"What kind of bet?" Zhang Lin was momentarily stumped, so he said, "If you suddenly ask me what to bet on, I really don't know. How about if the loser agrees to do one thing for the winner? I don't know what I'll ask you to do yet, so let's just put it on hold."
Lin Muxue smiled sweetly, "If President Zhang loses, didn't you promise to give me a house as a New Year's bonus? How about you also get it fully renovated for me, so I don't have to waste money!"
"That's a small matter, and besides, I won't lose," Zhang Lin said with full confidence.
With the bet settled, he turned to look at the old men. Since they wanted high-quality golden silk nanmu, it would be easy.
He had the ultimate temptation and wasn't afraid they wouldn't be attracted.
So, he deliberately said loudly to Lin Muxue, "Sis Lin, did you know that Linyuan Farm is about to receive 500 pounds of golden silk nanmu? All of it is gilded ripple."
"???" Lin Muxue was even more confused.
What golden silk nanmu? What gilded ripple?
Why didn't she know about this?
Is the boss pulling some stunt without her knowing?
While Lin Muxue was baffled, the old men instinctively looked over at Zhang Lin.
At first, they were a bit angry. After all, they had just been talking about golden silk nanmu, and someone suddenly mentioned it. Wasn't that just trying to show off?
Moreover, gilded ripple isn't that easy to come by, and 500 pounds at that?
But one of the old men muttered, "Linyuan Farm!"
"Old Zhu, what about Linyuan Farm?" another old man asked.
Old Zhu said, "This farm seems pretty impressive. My daughter has been praising it nonstop. She recently spent a lot of money on a batch of sweet potatoes from them, saying they can whiten skin. And you know what? After she ate those sweet potatoes, her skin really did get much whiter. Now, my other daughter and my granddaughters are all obsessed with those whitening sweet potatoes."
"Really that good?" the third old man said, surprised.
Suddenly, they had a better impression of the young man, realizing he might not be what they thought.
"Then what about the gilded ripple he mentioned?" the fourth old man suddenly asked.
Old Zhu said, "I'm not sure, but it might be real. You can wait here, and I'll go check it out."
As he spoke, Old Zhu stood up.
But he noticed that the other old men also stood up, grinning at him.
Now, with this revelation, if Linyuan Farm really has gilded ripple-level golden silk nanmu, and Old Zhu goes to ask, wouldn't it end up being his?
Old Zhu sighed and had no choice but to follow the other old men over to Zhang Lin.
Lin Muxue saw them walking over and widened her eyes in disbelief.
No way, right?
They really came over.
What exactly is this gilded ripple?
She wasn't stupid; she knew these bigwigs were here for that.
Soon, the old men sat next to Zhang Lin, their eyes glaring at him, creating a palpable pressure.
"Um, gentlemen, could you not look at me like that? I really do have gilded ripple," Zhang Lin said awkwardly to them. "If you want it, I can sell it to you."
Old Zhu asked subconsciously, "Really? 500 pounds? I can take it all."
Another old man was unhappy, "Old Zhu, what do you mean by 'take it all'? Don't be greedy."
The third old man chimed in, "Exactly, I can take it all too. How about you let me have it?"
"Fat chance!"
"Exactly!"
The bigwigs suddenly started arguing, which caught Lin Muxue off guard.
These men, who had seemed so unapproachable and distant, now looked like a bunch of bickering old neighbors.
This was quite a shock.
By now, many people around them had noticed the commotion, and most of them looked incredulous, especially those who had wanted to approach but were held back.
What's going on? Why did those important figures suddenly gather around that young man?
Something is definitely off.
And who is this young man, anyway?
Countless people were filled with curiosity and questions. After all, these bigwigs were the ultimate connections for Xinhua University in the business world.
Chen Xin was chatting with a few senior alumni from the legal field.
These seniors were either partners at well-known law firms or had founded their own practices. Under normal circumstances, Chen Xin would be far from their league, but this time, being invited to the event, he had the chance to interact with them.
In their line of work, besides connections, it ultimately came down to capability. Once he had the opportunity to connect, Chen Xin was confident that he was no less capable than these people. Thus, whether they were discussing or negotiating case opinions, he could converse easily and even offer his own insights.
Ling Wan'er, on the other hand, had been holding his arm with a smile, content to play the role of a supportive girlfriend.
In her heart, she was already overjoyed. For her, this alumni gathering was an incredibly high-end occasion, with elites from all walks of life present.
Her previous boyfriend had some money, but he seemed insignificant in this setting. Even those with less wealth here could crush him with their connections.
Suddenly, she realized that the boyfriend her sister introduced her to was even more exceptional than she had imagined. He wasn't a philanderer and doted on her in every way, making him the dream boyfriend for any ordinary girl.
"Junior Brother Chen, that young man seemed to have come in with you. Who is he?" one of the seniors suddenly asked Chen Xin.
Chen Xin glanced over and saw Zhang Lin, then replied, "He's my boss."
"Who is he? How did those big shots end up around him?" the senior asked, astonished.
The others shared the same reaction:
"That's right, everyone has been trying to connect with them, but no one has succeeded."
"It's impossible to even get close."
"Junior Brother Chen, now that they're actively seeking out your boss, he must be really impressive."
Chen Xin understood why the seniors looked so surprised when he saw those elders.
No one at Xinhua University was unaware of those few. Logically, Zhang Lin should have had no connection with them, yet they were now surrounding him.
Another senior inquired, "Junior Brother Chen, what does your boss do?"
Chen Xin explained, "Liyuan Farm."
The senior was taken aback, "Is that the farm where Junior Sister Lin went?"
Chen Xin nodded, which only highlighted Lin Muxue's popularity at Xinhua University.
The seniors were even more shocked:
"Wow, I know Liyuan Farm is famous online, but it's not enough to draw those big shots, right?"
"That's your opinion, but they are there."
"There must be something we don't know, but it's not something we can pry into."
Zhang Lin noticed the attention from everyone around him. He didn't like being the center of attention and suggested to the elders, "Gentlemen, it's too noisy here. Why don't we find a quieter place to talk? Our golden silk nanmu wood should be arriving at the farm soon. If you have the time, we can show you a live video."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu didn't hesitate and immediately called the current president of Xinhua University. Moments later, everyone saw the president rush over and join the group.
"Old Zhu, Old Gu... please follow me. I've prepared an office for you," the president said with a beaming smile, leading the way.
Old Zhu also gestured to Zhang Lin, "Junior Brother, shall we move to a different place to continue our conversation?"
Zhang Lin nodded and stood up, following the elders through a side entrance in the hall.
Lin Muxue hurried to follow, knowing that under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have the chance to join such a high-level gathering. Now, with this opportunity, she had to seize it to gain some valuable insights.
However, this scene left everyone in the hall stunned and even more curious about the young man's identity.
When the name "Liyuan Farm" spread, the people in the hall began to recall the recently popular place.
But even if Liyuan Farm was popular, it shouldn't attract such esteemed figures, right?
Everyone had the same thought: Liyuan Farm must not be as simple as it seems.
