The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 289 The more tolerant they are of me, the more ruthless they are in dealing with me.
A greeting from an old friend?
Lai Yiliang seemed to understand, and cautiously asked, "If the Chu family is finished, will Mr. Lin be the victor?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Even if I had eight arms, I still couldn't handle the Chu family. But if the Chu family loses, then I will naturally be the victor."

Lai Yiliang immediately understood.

If you can't handle it alone, then ask a friend.

This is like when you can't beat your opponent in a fight, so you ask for help. Isn't that how it's always been on the battlefield throughout history?

If one faction cannot defeat another, they will unite with other factions to fight against the first faction. After winning, they will sit down and share the spoils of victory!
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Lin. I know what to do now."

Lin Chen smiled and said no more.

His relationship with the Chu family is irreconcilable, so it doesn't matter if the Chu family finds out what he's saying. But Lai Yiliang is quite interesting and genuine, so Lin Chen doesn't mind casually reminding him.

Even Lin Chen felt that he and Lai Yiliang were destined to meet again in Linhai.

"Mr. Lin, about the demolition..."

After clarifying the personal issues, Lai Yiliang brought the topic back to the present. Chu Songhui had sent him and Chen Tao to handle this matter, and he had to give Chu Songhui an answer.

Lin Chen shook his head and gestured with his chin towards Wang Zimin in the distance: "That young man, the one in the front, is my colleague. He even treated me to dinner today. I can't just stand by and watch him get beaten up by your people. As for negotiating compensation, I won't participate. Do you understand?"

Lai Yiliang remembered Wang Zimin's appearance, turned around and smiled, "Understood! Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will take care of it."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You don't need to be embarrassed. You can report the facts directly. The Chu family is having a headache because of me right now. Last Saturday, Chu Songtao's daughter, Chu Jiayi, offended me and sent her father's bodyguard to beat me up. She was beaten so badly that she ended up in the hospital and lost 20 million to me. The Chu family is having a headache because of me right now. Just report my name, and you won't have to take the blame."

Lai Yiliang's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll make a call."

Lai Yiliang didn't leave. He took out his phone and dialed Chu Songhui's number: "President Chu, this is Lai. Things have changed a bit, and I'd like to report to you."

“We arrived here, but the negotiations haven’t yielded any results yet. They’re demanding compensation based on the officially announced price. And the people blocking our way here are really strong. Brother Chen went to confront one of them, and the two got into a fight. Brother Chen lost and was knocked unconscious.”

"That person's name is Lin Chen, and he's still guarding this place."

"Correct!"

"Okay, I'll handle it right away." Lai Yiliang hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lin is indeed amazing! As soon as President Chu heard it was you, he told me not to get entangled with you and to relax the terms and negotiate with the other party to secure the contract tonight."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The more tolerant he is of me now, the more he hates me in his heart, and the harder he will hit me when he does."

Lai Yiliang cautiously asked, "Should I go and negotiate with them?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Go ahead."

Lai Yiliang went back again. This guy was indeed capable. In no time, he reached an agreement with everyone. He had someone prepare contracts and signed them with each household one by one.

Lai Yiliang instructed the person in charge at the site to put away the contract and proceed with the remaining routine work, while he himself quickly went to Lin Chen's side.

“Mr. Lin, all the contracts have been signed. The others signed at 90% of the guide price, but I personally handled your friend's case secretly, at 1.5 times the price.”

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback. He had pointed out Wang Zimin's identity earlier only to warn Lai Yiliang not to hurt his friend, but he did not expect that Lai Yiliang would secretly give Wang Zimin special treatment.

Seemingly worried that Lin Chen might overthink things, Lai Yiliang said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I've quietly told him that only he knows about the contract, and the payments are all made separately. Nobody knows that his contract is different. Besides, during the demolition process, there are often contracts that vary from person to person. This is common."

Lin Chen laughed and asked, "How are you going to reimburse me for this extra amount?"

Lai Yiliang chuckled softly, "President Chu told me to negotiate as much as possible. His bottom line is the guide price. There are more than ten companies here. If I negotiate down 10% for each one, and add 50% for your friend, it will actually save the company a lot. When it comes to doing things, the main thing is to get things done well. There's no such thing as an unchanging rule."

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. This guy was indeed a perceptive and capable person. No wonder he was recommended by a friend and hired by Chu Songhui after a little testing.

Being recommended by others is due to his popularity, but gaining Chu Songhui's approval is a testament to his ability.

Lai Yiliang asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, is there anything else you need? If not, I'll take Chen Tao to the hospital. We can't just leave him there unattended."

Lin Chen shook his head, about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I just wanted to gossip a bit. Was your female classmate from university just a classmate?"

Lai Yiliang's eyes revealed a hint of smugness: "On the surface, yes, but in private, we slept together for two years, the kind where you could come whenever I called..."
