Chapter 175 The Three Precepts of a Gentleman
On Saturday morning, when Lin Chen was about to take a nap, Lin Xun went into the bedroom and pulled him out of bed. Lin Chen closed his eyes and begged, "Good sister, I drank too much last night and I don't want to get up."
Lin Xun grabbed his arm and said, "Xiao Zhou came this morning, how did you look like sleeping in? Get up quickly and help mom with the work."
Lin Chen closed his eyes and muttered: "I'll invite you out to eat, and let me sleep for another half hour."
After waiting for another half an hour, when Lin Xun was about to run away, Lin Chen finally came out of the bedroom yawning helplessly. Old Lin asked dissatisfiedly: "Did you drink too much again last night?"
Lin Chen explained: "A few good friends got together and they helped me catch the wind. How could I not drink at all?"
Lao Lin said solemnly: "Confucius said: A gentleman has three warnings: when he is young, his blood energy is not stable, and the warning lies in his appearance; when he is strong, his blood energy is strong, and he should guard against fighting; when he is old, his blood energy has declined, and he should guard against it. .You are not drinking, but fighting in the bar? Now is the time when your blood is at its peak, so avoid fighting."
Lin Chen sat down, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and said quibly: "I'm not married yet, so I'm not in a strong position."
Lao Lin added: "After you started working, especially in the past six months, we have been worried about you several times. In the future, you must be forward-looking and thoughtful when doing things in the future."
Lin Chen said nonchalantly: "It's broad daylight and the world is clear, so you're still afraid of someone blocking the road and robbing you. I act openly and aboveboard, so I'm not afraid."
Lao Lin hated iron and said: "You are not afraid of offending a gentleman, you are only afraid of offending a villain. If you offend a villain, the villain will always keep an eye on you. In this life, there is no way to guard against thieves! I heard that you let Then Wang Hai made a fool of himself at the conference, and there is a pockmarked Ding Er in front of him, so you have to be careful about these!"
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the car that followed him last night. His father was right. If the car was intentional last night, the most likely cause was two people: Ding Ermazi and Wang Hai. Ding Ermazi The possibility is not high. I don't know where he is hiding now. Once he shows up, he will never escape the people's net. The possibility of Wang Hai is higher. Lin Chen thought of the young man who went to the wrong room while eating in the hotel. From the moment he entered the room to the moment he left, he kept staring at Lin Chen, no, staring at his hands. Lin Chen thought of Wang Hai's words again, he had a hundred ways...
Lao Lin was educating Lin Chen, while Lin Xun was gloating on his misfortune and helping from time to time. Lin Chen was so exhausted from the training that he was helpless when the door rang. Lin Chen rushed over in a few steps and opened the door. There was Xiao Zhou outside the door, carrying fruit and milk in his hands. Lin Chen pulled him in, "Good brother-in-law, why did you come just now! I miss you so much!"
Xiao Zhou's arrival successfully changed the topic, and Lin Chen got a chance to take a breather. Xiao Zhou brought good news to Lao Lin and Lin's mother. His friend runs a travel agency and will open a "Fireworks in March" next spring. Xiao Zhou was given a preferential quota for the "Go to Yangzhou" route. Xiao Zhou planned to let Lin Xun accompany Lao Lin and Lin's mother to have some fun. Lin's mother's face smiled like a flower, but she said: "No, no Well, how can I let you spend money?"
Xiao Zhou said: "He owed me a favor, so the price he gave me was very favorable, almost like free."
Lin Xun's face was also filled with a proud expression, and Lin Chen followed, "Go ahead, this is Xiao Zhou's wish too!"
Lin Xun turned around and said, "Brother, Xiao Zhou spent money to arrange for our parents to go on a trip. You want to treat us at noon! Find a better hotel!"
How could Lin Chen not agree, so he called and booked a room at Haisheng Hotel. As soon as he booked the room, he received a call from Merchant Zhao. Merchant Zhao said on the phone that the Apple acquisition season was coming to an end, and now Dashan Town's
The high-quality fruits have been sold out, and the rest are poor fruits. The four of them plan to go back and invite Lin Chen to have a meal with them at noon to express their gratitude.
Lin Chen then said to Merchant Zhao, I have guests at the Haisheng Hotel in the county town at noon. This hotel specializes in local characteristics. I will book a room for you. You can also come here and we will chat together.
Near noon, Lin Chen drove his family over. During the meal, Lin Chen and his father suggested having two drinks. After being lectured by his father, he had to put down his wine glass angrily and move towards the dishes on the table.
At this time, Merchant Zhao called and said that they had arrived. Lin Chen talked to his father and went to Merchant Zhao's room.
Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li were chatting around the table, and the food on the table had already been served. Lin Chen opened the door, and the four of them immediately stood up. Merchant Sun pushed Lin Chen to the main seat and sat down.
The merchant smiled and said: "The four of us have long wanted to invite Director Lin to have a meal together to express our gratitude. We were busy harvesting apples the past few days. We finally had some free time in the past few days. Director Lin went to the provincial capital again.
I caught you today."
Lin Chen said with a smile: "To be honest, I have to thank you. It is you who helped the people in Wangjiacun District solve the problem of selling fruit. I will invite you today, and we have made an agreement."
Several people argued again, and Lin Chen said domineeringly: "If you don't want to come to Wangjiacun to harvest apples next year, you can invite me! Otherwise, listen to me!"
How could Zhao Qian and Sun Li say he didn't want to come? He immediately nodded and said, "Listen to Director Lin's arrangements!"
Zhao Qian, Sun Li and Lin Chen discussed their plans to continue harvesting apples in Dashan Town next year.
Lin Chen offered water instead of wine, thanked the four merchants, and invited them to come back next year.
Lin Chen also hopes that they can use their advantage of knowing many people in the industry to introduce companies that are willing to invest in Dashan Town for inspection.
At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and a young man broke in. He glanced in Lin Chen's direction and said, "Sorry, we went to the wrong door." He closed the door and backed out.
Lin Chen instantly became alert, remembering that the man who broke in while having dinner with Tan Jice and the others was somewhat similar to this one. Moreover, Lin Chen noticed that after he came in, he looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Lin Chen.
No, it was in front of Lin Chen. What was in front of him? Cutlery, water glass. Normally there should be a wine glass, but because he didn't drink, he had already removed it.
Lin Chen excused himself to go to the bathroom. He quickly left the room and walked to the door of the hotel. He saw the young man's back from a distance, got into a Santana in the yard, and then never came out again.
Lin Chen returned to the room, chatted with Zhao Qian and Sun Li for a while, and then asked them to enjoy themselves. He wanted to go back to accompany Xiao Zhou. Zhao Merchant accompanied Lin Chen to the door and thrust a bank card into Lin Chen's hand.
He whispered: "There are 20,000 yuan in it, the password is six or eight, and it is a little bit of kindness from the four of us."
Lin Chen originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that there were too many places in the district that needed money, so he accepted it and said: "Old Zhao, this is your donation to the needy people in the Wangjiacun District. I will ask Sun Defeng to give a receipt later.
for you."
Merchant Zhao sent Lin Chen out of the room and met Ding Li and a man. Ding Li asked in surprise: "Director Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Come over for a meal, Chief Ding, are you coming over for a meal too?" Ding Li hummed and introduced Lin Chen. The man next to her was her husband, Deputy County Magistrate Sui Yunqiang.
Son Sui Gang. Sui Gang shook hands with Lin Chen and said hello to Merchant Zhao. It turned out that they knew each other. Lin Chen felt that the world was really small, so everyone chatted for a while and then went back to their respective rooms.
After eating, Lin Chen drove his family back. He drove slowly on purpose and noticed through the rearview mirror that the Santana was following him not far behind, and it followed him until it disappeared at the entrance of the community.
Lin Chen thought that the person who was following him was probably Wang Hai. Ding Er was too busy to take care of himself, so it couldn't be him. However, there was another person in Dashan Town who had some objections to him, and that was Jiang Xia. Could this be possible?
