Chapter 163: Old Master Lin Comes to Pull Strings

Chen Yang felt that Lin Wei was pouring all the desires she had never expressed in her previous life onto him. During this period, she behaved extraordinarily fiercely in bed, almost like a wild beast.

Of course, Chen Yang also liked this feeling. He even thought that in this state he could temporarily avoid worrying about having offspring.

After all, once they had a child, Lin Wei's focus and love would shift, and his good life would disappear as well.

As for whether the Chen family ancestors and his parents far away in another world would scold him in a dream, Chen Yang couldn't be bothered to care.

After a night of spring, Chen Yang slept straight through until noon before getting up. If it weren't for Hu Qingwan calling Lin Wei to invite them to dinner at the Lin family's house, he would have planned to sleep all day.

When Chen Yang stepped through the Lin family gate, he unexpectedly discovered that Old Master Lin had also come. He saw him sitting upright on the spacious, comfortable sofa in the living room, his expression stern yet dignified. Meanwhile, his mother-in-law Hu Qingwan sat beside him, smiling gently and speaking softly.

Although Chen Yang clearly knew that Old Master Lin had always disliked him, out of the most basic courtesy and respect as a junior, he still steeled himself to approach and respectfully said, 'Grandfather, hello!'

This time Old Master Lin's attitude wasn't as cold as before; he waved for Chen Yang to come sit beside him.

Chen Yang didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he could only walk carefully beside him and half-sit on the sofa.

"Chen Yang, I have an old subordinate's son who just returned from military service and hasn't been assigned a job yet. Do you have a suitable position for him over there?"

Chen Yang didn't expect that Old Master Lin had sought him out to help his old subordinate find work through connections, which came as a surprise.

"Grandfather, I actually have plenty of job openings I could arrange, but compared to positions within the system, the benefits and social status would be much worse. You need to let him think it over carefully before deciding."

Old Master Lin listened to Chen Yang's words and couldn't help but be secretly astonished. He truly hadn't imagined that this young man, just out of university, could think through the issues so comprehensively and in such minute detail.

Old Master Lin sighed and said to Chen Yang, "I've told those same problems to that young man as well. But he finds the government office too idle, the pay too low, and wants to go out into the flashy world to make his mark."

Chen Yang hadn't expected that even officials' children would rather not stay within the system. But since Old Master Lin had spoken up, as his son-in-law he still had to settle the matter.

Thus Chen Yang said, "Grandfather, I currently have an agricultural products trading company, a meat industry limited company that specializes in producing sausages, a real estate brokerage firm, and an advertising company under preparation. Ask him which industry he likes and what work he's good at, and then I'll make specific arrangements for him."

Old Master Lin was shocked again. The last time they met, Chen Yang only had an agricultural products trading company. Not long after not seeing him, he now has three more companies. Is starting a business really this easy now?

"Chen Yang, the overall economic environment in Qingshui City is bad right now. Are you taking on too many companies at once, biting off more than you can chew?"

Seeing that Old Master Lin still cared about him, Chen Yang felt a sudden warmth. He patiently explained, "Grandfather, the several companies I operate actually have close and interrelated industrial connections."

"First, the meat company: it has large-scale meat production and processing capacity, and can continuously supply the agricultural products trading company with various high-quality sausages and fresh meat products. This way, the trading company can obtain a stable, high-quality source of goods, allowing it to better conduct domestic and foreign trade."

"My real estate brokerage company currently specializes in finding and providing suitable storefront properties for the trading company to set up directly operated shops. Through precise market positioning and professional site selection services, it ensures that the trading company's directly operated stores can be located in prime areas, attracting more customers. Moreover, my private real estate in Xingcheng can also be entrusted to the real estate company for agency."

"As for the advertising company, its main task is to handle publicity and promotion for the other four companies. Whether the meat company launches a new sausage product, the real estate brokerage firm seeks to raise its profile to attract more clients, or the trading company wants to expand market share and build brand influence, the advertising company can quickly respond to demand, devise a series of creative and targeted advertising plans, and implement them efficiently."

"The four companies work closely together and support each other. As long as any one of them succeeds, it will drive the others to progress as well, achieving true mutual prosperity."

After Chen Yang finished speaking, not only was Old Master Lin shocked, but other members of the Lin family also showed looks of surprise.

Hu Qingwan gave Chen Yang a thumbs-up: "My good son-in-law, you're preparing to build a business empire!"

Chen Yang humbly smiled: "The goal of a business empire is still far off. Right now the four companies are just starting out; first we'll strive to become the strongest in Qingshui City, then gradually develop further."

Old Master Lin gave a slight nod, satisfied with Chen Yang's attitude of not being overly ambitious. He reminded Chen Yang, "Your aspiration is good, but putting it into practice will surely encounter many complicated problems. If you ever run into difficulties you can't solve, come home more often to discuss with everyone, don't just go it alone."

Chen Yang said, "Currently, aside from the advertising company, the other three companies each have professionals managing them. I mainly just handle investment."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lin immediately frowned. "Chen Yang, your attitude toward managing companies is unacceptable. You may not handle specific affairs, but you must assign trustworthy people to oversee them. Otherwise, the companies could be emptied out and you wouldn't even know."

Chen Yang thought about it and agreed; he should cultivate some of his own confidants. Especially the Red Star Food Processing Factory needs a reliable person to oversee it. So he said to Du Yue'e, "Sister-in-law, prepare the work handover for the supermarket side. From now on, the position of finance manager at Common People Meat Industry Company will be handed over to you."

Du Yue'e looked bewildered. She's just a graduate of a health school—she hasn't even attended college, let alone university—how could she be a finance manager…

"Chen Yang, your sister-in-law's education level is limited; she can't even figure out the supermarket's accounts. Being a finance manager… wouldn't be suitable, right?"

Chen Yang encouraged her: "Sister-in-law, nobody is born knowing everything. If you don't understand something, go learn it; find a professional training institution, and I'll reimburse the expenses."

Du Yue'e's heart was immediately moved. Her education wasn't high, and when she first entered the Lin family she had also often been looked down upon. If she could learn financial management well and become the finance manager of Common People Meat Industry Company, her status in the Lin family would also rise considerably. "Chen Yang, don't fool your sister-in-law; are you really planning to let me be the finance manager?"

"Really! Truer than a pearl!"
