Chapter 209: Sleepiness is coming, and so is the pillow
"I have to go out for a while." Lin Yicheng shouted towards the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Fatty Fan brought out a plate of fruit. "I just washed them."

"Come back and eat later. I have something to do." Lin Yicheng took a strawberry and threw it into his mouth.

"By the way, I'll drive your car."

"Here," Fatty Fan pursed his lips, "The keys are all there, pick one yourself."

Lin Yicheng walked over and took a look.

Good guy.

Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, everything.

Lin Yicheng picked up a Mercedes-Benz key at random, went out, opened the garage, and saw several cars parked inside.

I pressed the key and the car started.

A pure black Mercedes-Benz G.

Lin Yicheng got in the car and tried the feel. It was pretty good, with a lot of space.

……

More than half an hour later, Lin Yicheng arrived at the company.

"Where is Lao Zhou?" Lin Yicheng asked the girl at the front desk.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. Mr. Zhou is over there in the reception room." The girl at the front desk stood up quickly.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Yicheng nodded, took two steps, and turned back.

"Watch less melodramatic idol dramas, they are all lies. In reality, a domineering CEO will not fall for Cinderella."

"Got it, Mr. Lin." The girl at the front desk stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

Does Mr. Lin have some other meaning behind what he said?

You know, she had fought hard to get this position, just to be closer to her idol, to see him often, and to have a chance to get in touch with him.

Otherwise, how could she, a top student who graduated from a 211 university, work in a receptionist job with no future?

Lin Yicheng came to the meeting room and pushed the door open and walked in.

There were only three people in the room.

In addition to Lao Zhou, there was a young man and a middle-aged man.

Lin Yicheng could tell the temperament of the middle-aged man after just a quick glance.

They are definitely elites, and their aura is indeed stronger than that of Zheng Jun.

Moreover, there is something on the waist!
Young people are also very eye-catching.

It’s not that he’s so handsome.

It's about the way he dresses.

He wore a black shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of leather sandals with the shoe soles pushed forward, turning them into slippers.

He was sitting there with his legs crossed.

Very cynical.

The key point is that he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his temperament seemed a little out of place no matter how you looked at it.

……

"Haha, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone looking for you."

Seeing Lin Yicheng coming in, the young man laughed, stood up, and quickly walked up to Lin Yicheng.

Without even giving him time to react, he immediately gave him a bear hug.

No, buddy, do we know each other?

Lin Yicheng was a little confused.

"What? Don't you recognize me? Orange, you are a noble person who forgets things easily."

The young man slapped Lin Yicheng's arm hard, and it hurt a little.

orange?

Lin Yicheng became even more confused.

This is my nickname, outsiders don't know it at all.

Besides, no one calls him that except Jing Tian.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"Me! Lengzi! Xu Lengzi! When we were kids, we had fights with each other and beat others together. Have you forgotten?" The young man laughed and patted Lin Yicheng's arm hard.

"Fuck..." Lin Yicheng forced himself to hold back the traditional Chinese words.

"It's you? You've changed so much that I can't recognize you at all."

Lin Yicheng was surprised and looked the other person up and down.

It really doesn't look like what it used to be.

"Don't mention it. A few years ago, my old man sent me to England, saying that it would allow me to see the true face of capitalism up close."

"You don't know, the food there is simply not fit for human consumption. I endured it for four years and lost more than 40 pounds. It turns out that capitalism is not a good thing and it harms people a lot!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, sit down and talk."

The young man pulled Lin Yicheng towards the sofa, really not considering himself an outsider at all.

……

"Brother Xu, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." After sitting down, Lin Yicheng spoke.

When I was a child, I could call him "Lengzi" or "Lengzi", but I can't do that now.

This person whom I have known since childhood has an extraordinary identity. Very extraordinary.

"Of course. It's been more than ten years." Brother Xu seemed to be lost in memories.

"Come to think of it, it was still fun and exciting when I played with you back then!"

"Other people all coaxed me and gave in to me, but you, Orange, were the only one who dared to hit me."

"Not only did you beat me up, you also encouraged me to beat up others and gave me the nickname 'Lunzi'. You know what, my old man later thought your nickname was good. When he was in a bad mood and scolded me, he also called me 'Lunzi'!"

"Hey, I was too young at that time and didn't understand anything." Lin Yicheng was also a little embarrassed.

At that time, he had no idea of ​​the other person's identity. Seeing that the other person was fat and stupid, he just gave him such a nickname.

Later, after learning the other party's true identity from his godfather, he was scared for a long time.

Seeing that the other party didn't care, Lin Yicheng felt relieved and continued to pretend that he didn't know.

"By the way, what was the name of the guy we beat the hardest back then? How is that grandson doing these days?"

"I forgot his name. A few years ago, his old man went to jail because he made a mistake." Lin Yicheng thought for a while and remembered this person.

"I knew that grandson was not a good guy. He only knew how to bully little girls. It turned out that I was right to beat him up." Brother Xu patted his thigh.

"By the way, Brother Xu, why are you here this time?" Lin Yicheng saw that they had almost finished chatting and it was time to ask about business.

It’s true that we knew each other when we were children, but how long has it been?

People will change.

"Mr. Lin, you guys chat first, I'm going to go out and do something." Lao Zhou immediately stood up and wanted to leave.

Although he still didn't understand the identity of this Brother Xu, he knew it was definitely not simple. There were some things that he really couldn't listen to, and he didn't dare to listen to.

"Well, go ahead." Lin Yicheng nodded.

"Haha, your subordinate is quite interesting." Seeing Zhou Chenggong leave the door, Brother Xu smiled and said.

"He's used to being cautious." Lin Yicheng said. "It's better to be more cautious." Brother Xu said, crossing his legs again.

"Uncle Zhang, please go out and sit for a while."

The middle-aged man just nodded, looked at Lin Yicheng again, as if analyzing the degree of danger Lin Yicheng was in, and then walked out.

"Don't mind it, he is used to being cautious." Brother Xu said with a smile.

Lin Yicheng smiled and said nothing.

……

"I came to see you today for no reason." Brother Xu got to the point.

"Just tell me what you want to say. I will help wherever I can." Lin Yicheng said cheerfully.

As for what I can’t help with, we’ll talk about it later.

"You are still as thoughtful as you were when you were little."

"Come to think of it, even though you ordered me to fight, I was willing to do it in my heart. I know, Orange, you are a man of honor and you won't abandon me and run away."

Seeing that Lin Yicheng was just smiling and didn't respond, Brother Xu didn't waste any more words.

"Don't worry, I'm different from those people. I'm not here to take advantage of you."

"Brother Xu, you are certainly not that kind of person." Lin Yicheng also spoke.

"Come on, kid, I don't know how many twists and turns you were thinking just now." Brother Xu directly pointed out Lin Yicheng's thoughts.

"Haha, there's no other way. In my current situation, it won't work if I don't think more about everything." Lin Yicheng didn't feel embarrassed and admitted it directly.

"Let's talk business, let's talk business." Brother Xu changed his leg and crossed his legs.

"Two years ago, I returned to China and opened a factory in Fujian Province. It mainly produces clothing and shoes. So, this time I came here, I really want to cooperate with you."

"First, your company has many celebrities who can help promote my products."

"Second, it's your movies and TV series. You can also help advertise my products."

"I think this is a good thing that I keep within the family."

After hearing this, Lin Yicheng was slightly stunned and his eyes looked a little strange.

……

"What's wrong? You're not going to even help me with this, are you? It's not like I'm not going to pay you, and I won't let you suffer any loss." Brother Xu pretended to be angry.

"That's not what I meant." Lin Yicheng waved his hand and then asked, "Brother Xu, how big is your factory?"

"It's normal, about 1,800 people, just a small fight." Brother Xu said casually.

Lin Yicheng held back the curse in his heart. A factory of this size is considered a small operation in the eyes of others!

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of our products. I will not fool people with defective products, otherwise I will break my legs." Brother Xu thought that Lin Yicheng was worried about the quality of his products.

"What we lack now is fame. We are okay in Fujian Province, but we can't go beyond it, so we came to you."

"Brother Xu, there is no problem with endorsements and advertising." Lin Yicheng nodded first, "But I have a better way to cooperate, do you want to listen to it?"

"Oh? Tell me about it." Brother Xu also became interested.

"What a coincidence! I am planning to set up a brand that will also sell clothing, shoes and hats."

Brother Xu did not interrupt him, but just listened quietly.

"But my brand is different from those in China. It's fashionable and trendy, and the prices are mainly mid- to high-end. You're in this business, so you should understand, right?"

"You mean, the light luxury kind?" Brother Xu asked.

"That's right. So, we can cooperate. I'll provide the brand and design, and you'll provide the labor and venue. You'll produce the products and then put our brand on them."

"Fuck! You haven't changed at all. You still let me charge into battle while you reap the benefits from the back!" Brother Xu slapped his thigh and revealed the essence of the matter.

"Hehe, don't say such harsh words. What we are doing is called brothers working together, and their strength is invincible." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

"Brothers can work together, but where is the gold? Can your approach work? Don't let it end up that I produce but you can't sell it, that would be a joke."

"Roads are made by people. Besides, it's not like I don't have someone to emulate. Do you know the situation in Japan and South Korea? They use movies and TV series to promote products. That's how they do it."

Brother Xu patted his knees gently, and Lin Yicheng was not in a hurry.

Cooperation is not so easy to reach.

However, Lin Yicheng really hopes that the deal can be concluded.

He was originally worried about the OEM factory issue, and this time Brother Xu was like a pillow sent to him just because he was sleepy.

The other party has connections, money, and most importantly, power, so they can handle any messy issues.

By working with him, Lin Yicheng can indeed save himself a lot of trouble and effort.

……

"Let's not talk about whether this approach will work or not. If we cooperate, I will have to buy new equipment and new production lines, which cost money. On the contrary, you are just talking big and don't have to pay anything."

"Brother, you have to settle accounts clearly. Tell me your rules. Don't really treat me as a fool." Brother Xu pointed at Lin Yicheng again.

"That's not possible. Brother Xu, if you are worried, the funds for your equipment and assembly lines will be mine, and you will only be responsible for production. How about that?"

"Also, for your own products, whether it's endorsement or advertising, I will give you the green light and the lowest discount. How about that?" Lin Yicheng said again.

"Haha, that's enough. Stop calculating. It's tiring." Brother Xu laughed and then looked at Lin Yicheng seriously.

"I agreed."

Without waiting for Lin Yicheng to speak, Brother Xu continued, "You don't have to pay for the equipment assembly line. I don't need that much. Just your words are enough."

"However, you can't renege on the discount you just mentioned. You have to keep your promise."

Lin Yicheng was stunned. So easy?
Pie in the sky?
Lin Yicheng hesitated instead.

"Stop, stop thinking like that." Brother Xu slapped Lin Yicheng's arm hard again, leaving a red mark.

"To be honest with you, I certainly wouldn't do this just based on our friendship. I don't think you would believe it either."

"As for me, I am doing this for my grandfather's sake, and your grandfather's sake."

……

"Hmm?" Lin Yicheng was puzzled. How long had it been since the two old men died? What did it have to do with them?
"You don't know? Didn't your family tell you?" Brother Xu saw Lin Yicheng's confusion.

"You must know the battlefield where my grandfather was most famous, right?"

"Fight the red Jiaodong half of the sky!" Lin Yicheng said succinctly.

"That's right. At that time, your grandfather was the captain of my grandfather's guard battalion. During the bloody battle in Quancheng, they fought with swords. If your grandfather hadn't risked his life to save him, my grandfather would have..."

"The old man later talked about this incident, saying that he owed Xiaolin a life. He also said that it was a pity for Xiaolin, because he was brave and courageous, and he had made great contributions, but he was injured too many times and retired too early, otherwise he would not have even had a flower on his shoulder."

"Well, it seems you really don't know." Looking at Lin Yicheng's surprised expression, Brother Xu patted his forehead.

"When I followed my old man to Shaanxi Province, he mentioned you and told me about this matter."

"Otherwise, do you think I'm really a fool? You beat me up and I won't say anything. Whoever I want to beat up will I beat up? If it weren't for this relationship, I wouldn't have bothered to deal with you at that time! I'm lucky I didn't beat you up."

……

"So that's how it is." Lin Yicheng murmured to himself.

No wonder.

He used to feel that there was something wrong with the fact that his family and Jingtian's family were old friends.

Lao Lin is just a senior executive at a TV station, far from being a godfather.

It turns out that my grandfather was also a famous figure back then!
No wonder, both the higher-ups and the Shaanxi Province favor me so much.

It turns out that my roots are so red that they can’t be any redder.

All of this makes sense.
