Chapter 103 Old Fox

"I understand, I understand, it won't happen again, it won't happen again. This drink is my apology." Lin Jinnuo, far from looking ashamed, happily picked up his glass and punished himself with a drink.

"You business people are all as cunning as foxes. If you ask me a similar question next time, I'll cut ties with you." Seeing Lin Jinnuo's happy face, Zuo Le's expression darkened slightly as he pointed at him.

"Is it really necessary to be so ruthless? I'll definitely be careful next time, very careful," Lin Jinnuo quickly wiped the smile off his face and said seriously.

Ge Dongxu watched the scene unfold and seemed to understand something, a thoughtful look flickered in his eyes.

Afterward, Zuo Le clearly had something on his mind, and Lin Jinnuo, realizing he might have gone too far, repeatedly toasted Zuo Le. Yue Feng and his wife also followed with several toasts, and Xu Jingfang whispered something in his ear, after which Zuo Le gradually regained his hearty demeanor.

The time was still around eight o'clock when the dinner ended.

At the end of the meal, Ge Dongxu didn't forget to prescribe a nurturing and pregnancy care recipe for Xu Jingfang and reminded her of a few things to pay attention to.

This time it was Zuo Le and his group who left first. Lin Jinnuo used the excuse of having something to discuss with Ge Dongxu to specially keep him behind.

"Is there something Old Lin can't discuss in front of Elder Zuo and the others?" After they had left, Ge Dongxu asked.

"Didn't you see Elder Zuo getting a bit annoyed just now? Even though we all know well enough, this can't be discussed in front of him anymore," Lin Jinnuo replied with a laugh, his plump face revealing a slyness akin to a cunning fox.

"Do you mean the county government really plans to rebuild the office building?" Ge Dongxu looked at the sly smile on Lin Jinnuo's face, and suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he understood why Elder Zuo had been unhappy, and why Lin Jinnuo was so cheerful.

It turns out Elder Zuo had slipped up just like him earlier and Lin Jinnuo had guessed the real answer.

'Tsk!' Lin Jinnuo looked at Ge Dongxu in surprise and couldn't help but exclaim after a moment, "Dongxu, it would be a huge waste if you didn't go into politics or business! How did you figure that out?"

"It's not really that difficult. With Elder Zuo's character, if it were not true, he would have definitely answered no right away. After all, denying something that isn't true doesn't breach any principles," Ge Dongxu replied, inwardly marveling, Lin Jinnuo managed to run such a large business, definitely with good reason. He clearly knew what kind of person Elder Zuo was and that Elder Zuo would never give him the answer, yet he still managed to get the truth he wanted without forcing Elder Zuo to break any principles.

"Truly, great heroes emerge from youth!" Lin Jinnuo gave a thumbs up.

"So, Old Lin, what advice do you have for keeping me here?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"How could I advise you? However, now that it's confirmed that the county government is considering rebuilding the office building, it would eventually come down to picking a spot either in the old city or Beiyang, or near Pingchao and Jiang Family Village. As you know, in our country, wherever the government buildings are located, that place will definitely become the future development center. It's just that the specific location might not have been decided by the county leadership team yet, so I can only offer you a suggestion: if you have some spare cash, consider buying up the land around your factory. Even though it's only partially possible that it falls in Jiang Family Village, business inherently carries no guarantees of success. Anyway, given the current economic development climate of Changxi County, the land around the county seat is always likely to hold its value. Of course, if you're tight on funds, don't go out of your way to buy land, as there are still risks. Plus, though the county government has plans, who knows when they will materialize? What if it gets delayed for years?" Lin Jinnuo said.

"I bought that plot of land by the factory last year, and just a few days ago, I bought some more around it. Now, I don't have a single penny left," Ge Dongxu said.

This time, Lin Jinnuo was genuinely surprised and stared at Ge Dongxu for a long while before saying, "It seems I did an unnecessary thing."

"Hehe, not really. At least after your analysis, I feel much more at ease. I was hoping to make a fortune from these plots of land," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"So, how much land do you have now in Jiang Family Village?" Lin Jinnuo asked.

"About twelve acres," Ge Dongxu replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinnuo was taken aback again. Twelve acres was quite substantial, requiring a few hundred thousand dollars. Although this amount of money was not huge for Lin Jinnuo, it wasn't small either, and for a young man like Ge Dongxu, it was even more significant. One could imagine the boldness of a young man possessing such courage, and even Lin Jinnuo felt extremely shocked.

Initially, he thought Ge Dongxu was only skilled in Mysterious Arts and was not much different from other young people in other respects. Lin had intended to offer him some guidance, but it turned out that Ge Dongxu had already surpassed him.

Since Ge Dongxu had already surpassed him, Lin Jinnuo naturally had nothing more to instruct. After chatting a bit more with Ge Dongxu, he had Lin Kun escort Ge Dongxu home.

As they left the elevator, Ge Dongxu's peripheral vision seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure sandwiched between two men.

Ge Dongxu was momentarily stunned and just as he wanted to take a closer look, the elevator doors closed.

"It must be my imagination, how could she possibly be here!" Ge Dongxu shook his head and then left the hotel with Lin Kun's company.

"Dongxu, I'll go bring the car over," Lin Kun said.

"No need, it's so cool this evening, perfect for a nice walk. I'd rather walk back," Ge Dongxu waved his hand and smiled.

After saying this, he did not wait for Lin Kun to insist, and headed towards Cheng Yazhou's place.

He hadn't walked far when Ge Dongxu felt uneasy, and eventually, he returned to the hotel.

"Dongxu, is there something the matter?" At this time, Lin Kun was still in the hotel lobby. Seeing Ge Dongxu return, he went up to him and asked.

"Just now I thought I saw a school senior. Can you help me check who checked in when we came out and which room they're in?" Ge Dongxu asked.

Normally, this was not allowed, but since Ge Dongxu asked, Lin Kun naturally did not object and went to inquire at the reception.

As the deputy manager of the hotel and the owner's son, Lin Kun quickly had the reception staff check the previous registrations and then they told him the room number.

"Dongxu, I got the room number. However, it seems inappropriate to just knock on the door. Should I have a staff member find a reason to go in and check for you? Or maybe check the surveillance room?" After asking for the room number, Lin Kun suggested to Ge Dongxu.

"No need, I should be able to tell just by getting to the room door." At this point, Ge Dongxu felt increasingly uneasy. Not wanting to waste more time, he waved his hand and declined.
