Lin Fan's expression was slightly strange.

I never expected that Mr. He would like this kind of style.

He glanced at it quickly, then looked away and looked at the man next to him, Boss He.

To Lin Fan's surprise, he had assumed that this Mr. He was already forty years old or even older.

But in reality, judging from the boss's appearance, he is extremely young, probably only in his early thirties or not yet forty.

He was wearing a white t-shirt, and because he was eating, he had taken off his tie, folded it aside, and unbuttoned the top two buttons. The sleeves of his arms were also rolled up. He was wearing slim-fit trousers.

His face wasn't particularly handsome, but it certainly wasn't ugly either. In particular, his demeanor was steady and dignified, unlike the typical capable professional. You could feel a distinct sense of pressure from him, a sense of authority that belonged to someone in a superior position.

"Miss Zhu!"

After quickly looking the two of them over, Lin Fan first smiled and nodded to Miss Zhu, then turned to greet Boss He.

"Mr. He, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Boss He raised his head slightly, nodded at Lin Fan, and then gestured with his eyes for him to sit down next to him.

Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in a very generous manner. He then picked up the tea on the table, gestured to Boss He, and drank it all in one gulp, which was a simple courtesy from a junior.

"Old He, can you not be so serious?"

"Xiao Lin finally gets to see you, aren't you afraid of scaring her away!"

After Lin Fan sat down, he and the owner fell silent. Lin Fan lowered his head again and began to eat the ordinary rice in front of him.

Miss Zhu playfully pinched Mr. He's arm.

Upon hearing this, Boss He gave him a helpless smile, then slowly put down his chopsticks and turned to look at Lin Fan.

This time, he looked at Lin Fan very carefully.

After glancing at him for a few moments, he picked up a napkin from the table, wiped his mouth, and slowly said, "Lin Fan, right? I've heard of you."

"I've seen your fur coats and marketing strategies; they're excellent. I didn't expect you to be so young."

Lin Fan smiled modestly and waved his hand, saying, "Mr. He, you flatter me too much. I have actually heard of you before."

"Compared to truly successful businessmen like you, I am still a fledgling eagle, with a long way to go before I can take flight!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Boss He smiled noncommittally, then tapped the table lightly and said, "I shouldn't have come to see you so early."

"Because you are not qualified to sit down and eat with me, do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Fan nodded and said slowly, "I understand."

“My business is like child’s play in your eyes. Even in this small Liangshan County, there are many people who are more successful than me. Compared to you, they are just a drop in the ocean. The gap between us is even greater. We really shouldn’t be sitting together for a meal.”

Seeing that Lin Fan seemed to understand his meaning, Boss He smiled with satisfaction.

He is indeed quite outstanding, having made such a name for himself at such a young age.

"Although I shouldn't be meeting you, my wife insisted that I see you and hoped I could offer you some help, so I came anyway."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said to Miss Zhu, "Miss Zhu, thank you so much. Actually, we haven't known each other for very long, and you've been supporting my business all along, while I haven't been able to offer you anything, which makes me feel very ashamed!"

Miss Zhu also stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, Xiao Lin, I don't need to say such formal things to Sister Zhu."

"You've actually helped Sister Zhu a lot, but you don't think it counts as helping. If it weren't for you last time, Sister Zhu would have lost face at that banquet. I can't accept your kindness for nothing!"

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the two sat down again.

Boss He looked at Lin Fan and slowly asked, "Your business is doing very well now. If you continue to develop at this speed, you will soon monopolize the high-end clothing market or luxury goods market in the entire Liangshan County."

“You will have a considerable income and become a business tycoon in Liangshan County at a young age. If you are content with the status quo, that is enough. There is nothing more I can do to help you.”

"Of course, if you'd like to take this a step further, you can tell me your thoughts and see how I can help you!"

As a well-known entrepreneur who ranks among the top in the entire province and even the whole country, Mr. He's vision and insight are obviously extraordinary.

It's no exaggeration to say that having a meal with someone of this caliber and getting them to point you in the right direction is worth a fortune, even just those few words.

Therefore, Lin Fan did not dare to be arrogant in front of Boss He at this moment, because even when his business was at its peak in his previous life, it was not much stronger than Boss He's.

Now that I'm starting from scratch, his opinions might actually point out some problems that I haven't seen.

Lin Fan knew the significance of this meal and those few words, so he didn't rush to answer Boss He's question, but instead frowned and began to think.

Not only did Boss He not feel that Lin Fan had neglected him, but he also showed appreciation on his face. Instead of urging Lin Fan, he picked up his chopsticks again and slowly began to eat.

After a moment, Lin Fan organized his thoughts and cautiously began to speak: "Of course I want to go further. To be honest, my dream is to become a successful entrepreneur like you, Mr. He. Therefore, I am not satisfied with staying in this small Liangshan County."

"As you said, if I continue to develop in the way I am now, it will only be able to support my development in Liangshan County."

"If I want to go further, I need to explore the outside market, but this is also the most troublesome problem I am facing right now. I don't have any connections outside, so it is difficult for my business to go out."

Listening to what Lin Fan said, Boss He nodded slightly and continued to listen without interrupting.

This is both a test and a lesson.

If Lin Fan demonstrates enough ability to eat a cake, then Boss He will give him a cake. If Lin Fan demonstrates enough ability to eat a cake shop, then Boss He will create opportunities for him to own a cake shop.

If Lin Fan doesn't demonstrate the vision and ability he should have, Boss He will definitely not give him much help, because that would harm him and be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Boss He has lived for decades and naturally understands this principle perfectly.
