Lin Guoqiang nodded. He knew Su Lin's true strength, so he was somewhat reassured. In the entire Xia Kingdom, as long as Su Lin didn't court death, he wouldn't die.
He is not only powerful himself, but also has a powerful background. The government is also endorsing them.
"Alright, it's pretty uncomfortable standing here in the sun. Let's go meet Su Zhenguo. Su Lin, you drive."
Su Lin opened the car door with a dark expression on his face.

On the way, Su Lin asked while driving, "Uncle Lin, is it inappropriate for someone of your status to dine at the Four Seasons Hotel?"
"What could be inappropriate? Don't overthink it, kid. You can eat anywhere with someone like your dad," Lin Guoqiang said casually.
Su Lin nodded upon hearing this. Su Zhenguo was indeed a hot commodity in China, and dining at the Four Seasons Hotel was not considered excessive.
A few minutes later, Su Lin drove to the Four Seasons Hotel.
"It's a pity that Xiaowan's mother didn't come." Lin Guoqiang sighed, then opened the car door and got out.
Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan followed.
The three of them went upstairs to the private room they had reserved, where Su Zhenguo was already sitting.
Lin Guoqiang burst into laughter the moment he saw Su Zhenguo; "Su Zhenguo, you didn't expect this, did you? I've become the mayor of Donghai."
Su Zhenguo looked at Lin Guoqiang's laughing face and frowned; "What, you really like taking on this hot potato?"
Lin Guoqiang shook his head; "What others see as a hot potato isn't to me. Besides, Lao Su, Lao Su, didn't you say I couldn't control you anymore? Well, look what happened, I'm in Donghai now, tsk tsk tsk..."
Su Zhenguo, seeing Lin Guoqiang's smug look, retorted, "What are you so happy about? You came to Donghai just to cooperate with my work. Do you think I'm still the same person I used to be, able to arrange things however you want and not give you land if you don't want to?"
"Let's not talk about me. This time I'm going to set up a car manufacturing plant, a raw material center, and two electronics factories. You have to give me all of these lands, and they're not small either. People from all the major families will be coming. Donghai is only so big. Let's see how you manage it."
Su Zhenguo's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Lin Guoqiang.
His factories alone are enough to create a new development zone, and with so many powerful families moving in, it's definitely going to give him a headache.
"Alright, sit down quickly, or the two kids will laugh at you."
Lin Guoqiang snorted coldly and pulled Lin Xiaowan to sit down to the side. Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin sat facing each other, quite a distance apart.
Su Lin was speechless. You two adults can fight each other, but why take your anger out on the child after losing?
However, he remained silent. At this point, Lin Guoqiang was indeed having a headache, and there was no need to provoke him.
After the two sat down, they finally stopped arguing.
Su Zhenguo personally poured Lin Guoqiang a glass of wine, and the atmosphere between the two completely eased. Lin Guoqiang took a small sip, then looked at Su Zhenguo and said, "I heard you haven't been seeing any guests lately?"
Su Zhenguo nodded; "Yes, there are too many people coming. I think we should wait until they all come out before selecting a few to cooperate with."
Lin Guoqiang nodded: "I'm just worried that others won't give you time to wait."
"Yes, the second branch of the Liu family in the capital came to see me today, but I locked them out," Su Zhenguo said calmly.
Lin Guoqiang gave a thumbs up; "The Liu family has always been powerful, and even I wouldn't refuse to see them. I didn't expect to be turned away here."
"Hey, do you think I don't want to meet them? Normally, if one of these big families cooperates with me, I'd be secretly happy. But not now. I have to be careful, or I won't even know how I died. I feel like I'm about to be caught in a huge vortex that will reshuffle the top families across the country," Su Zhenguo said with a headache.
Lin Guoqiang nodded; "The things you brought out are enough to reshuffle the entire Xia Kingdom several times over. Being so impulsive is not your style."
Su Zhenguo glared at Su Lin with annoyance; "Isn't this all because of the trouble my precious son has given me?"
As he spoke, he looked at Su Lin and said, "Su Lin, come back to the group and be a vice president."
Su Lin was eating when he was suddenly stunned by Su Zhenguo's words. He was a little dumbfounded and said, "Dad! Me, becoming the vice president? Is that too much? I haven't had enough fun yet."
"Play? What play? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now. You just dump everything on me and go off to play. This time, not only the middle-aged and young people are coming to Donghai, but also the younger generation to broaden their horizons. I'll help you deal with the older ones, but you'll have to handle the ones around your age yourself."
Su Lin asked with a headache, "Dad, are we really coming?"
"Nonsense, you can't expect me to do business with a bunch of twenty-year-olds, can you? What if we reach an agreement but then we don't?"
"Letting you go and meet them will give you some experience."
Lin Guoqiang agreed, saying, "I think Lao Su, you made a good choice. This kid seems to be chasing girls all day long. It's time to find him something serious to do."
"Uh... okay, but we have a deal. What I do is my business, and you can't interfere. Also, I'm taking Xiaowan and Xiaoyu with me."
Su Zhenguo and Lin Guoqiang immediately looked at Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan's face was flushed as she lowered her head and picked at the rice in her bowl.
Su Zhenguo was quite satisfied with Lin Xiaowan as his daughter-in-law. He asked with a smile, "Xiaowan, what do you say?"
Lin Xiaowan looked up at Su Linran and said, "I'm afraid I won't do it well."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin said, "How could it not be done well? Isn't Rainforest doing very well now? It's almost expanded to Guangzhou and Shanghai, and it's been doing just fine."
"But… that's different. I used to deal with suppliers, but now I'm going to negotiate with the scions of those powerful families."
Lin Guoqiang frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have Su Lin, Zhenguo, and me?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaowan was actually a bit timid, Lin Guoqiang was very angry.
His daughter can make mistakes, but he can't back down.
Lin Xiaowan nodded upon seeing this; "I can give it a try."
Su Zhenguo said with relief, "That's good. The Su Group building isn't far from your villa; it won't take long to drive there."
"Su Lin, I've agreed to your conditions, but you need to show some results. Even though we're newcomers, we're not afraid of anyone, understand?"
Su Lin nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I don't care what family they come from, I treat them all the same."
Su Zhenguo warned, "Don't use the same tactics you used on Xiao Chen and the Song family to deal with these aristocratic scions. We also need to send people from 751 again. In the future, try not to take action in the East China Sea if possible. If you must take action, remember to do it secretly and don't give anyone any leverage over you."

Su Lin said with some surprise, "The 751 team has changed personnel. Speaking of which, that Liu Changyuan was quite the spendthrift; he gave me a lot of nice things before."
"Try to do less of these kinds of scams in the future. If you really need something, just come to your Uncle Lin."
Su Lin laughed and said, "We don't need to anymore. Song Zhigang is now providing us with cultivation resources, and Xiao Wan and the others are making great progress in their cultivation."
Lin Guoqiang nodded, somewhat surprised, and said, "That's really fast. They've already become Grandmasters in such a short time. Su Lin, you didn't give Xiao Wan and the others any evil techniques to practice, did you?"
Su Lin's face darkened. "How is that possible?"
"That's strange. I've never seen anyone become a grandmaster so quickly from scratch. Is there some special technique?"
Su Lin nodded: "Of course, but Uncle, you have to exchange it for something."
"You little rascal, you're actually trying to bargain with me now."
"Nobody's things come from thin air, do they?" Su Lin said with a smile.
Lin Guoqiang chuckled. Su Lin had indeed inherited Su Zhenguo's genes; he wouldn't do anything without a profit.
"Alright, I came to Donghai to take charge of the overall situation. Old Su, can you tell me your thoughts now?"
Su Zhenguo laughed and said, "What ideas are you waiting for? Let's hold a banquet first. We'll definitely announce the strategic partnership with the Qin and Li families. As for the rest, we'll see how much each family offers."
"when?"
"Next week, at the Four Seasons Hotel. By then, things should be mostly arranged in Donghai, right?"
Lin Guoqiang nodded. Right now, all parties are making arrangements in Donghai. It's not just the big families. Lin Guoqiang and 751 are also coordinating. A week is more than enough.
There's no need to worry about any unexpected events happening then.
"Okay, let me know your ideas in time so I can make arrangements to cooperate with you. Just like you said, this trip to Donghai is entirely to cooperate with you," Lin Guoqiang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenguo also laughed.
After Lin Guoqiang completes his journey in Donghai, his next step will definitely be back in the capital. And at that time, Su Lin will certainly also go to the capital.
Whether he liked it or not, the two families began to have a close relationship when Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan got together.
Su Zhenguo is also destined to be labeled as part of the Lin family.
However, he didn't care about any of that. As long as he could make money, fulfill his revenge, and make the Su family stronger, it didn't matter who he cooperated with.
As Su Lin ate, he pondered the meaning behind Su Zhenguo and Lin Guoqiang's words, as well as the changes in his status that came with his successful rise to power.
Once the banquet hosted by the Su family begins, he will definitely attend as the vice president.
That's when the real battle between Su Lin and these scions of powerful families will begin.
209 Lin Xiaowan slaps Xiao Feiyu across the face! [Please subscribe]
While Su Lin was enjoying his meal, in the private room not far away, Xiao Feiyu and Jiang Ruoxi were entertaining their parents who had come from Shanghai.
After the four of them sat down, Xiao Feiyu said directly, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I want to cancel my engagement with Jiang Ruoxi."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Boyuan looked at Xiao Feiyu in surprise: "Cancel the engagement. Isn't it your dream all along that Xiaoyu marries Ruoxi? The old master finally spoke up for you and made the Jiang family suffer. Why do you suddenly want to cancel it?"
After speaking, Xiao Boyuan looked at Jiang Ruoxi with a probing expression, but Jiang Ruoxi just sat there without saying a word.
She was somewhat surprised that Xiao Feiyu had actually canceled their engagement, but that was for the best, as she wouldn't have to be labeled as Xiao Feiyu anymore.
She was incredibly grateful to have come to Donghai, because Su Lin, Li Ziyu, Lin Xiaowan, and others wouldn't label her as Xiao Feiyu's woman, and their interactions with her were perfectly normal.
Now that Xiao Feiyu is canceling the engagement, she has even less to worry about in Donghai, which makes her very happy. "843"
"Ruoxi, why does Xiaoyu suddenly want to cancel your engagement?"
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Xiao Boyuan and shook her head; "Uncle Xiao, I don't know either, but it's true that I don't like Xiao Feiyu. I'm still very happy that he was able to cancel the engagement. It's good that we can be friends even if we can't be husband and wife in the future."
