Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile. He had been laying the groundwork all night, and this was exactly what he had been waiting for. So, without further hesitation, he directly stated his conditions.

"Ahem, Secretary Luo is indeed a person of great loyalty and righteousness."

"I only treated you to a small meal, and you're already doing me such a big favor. Since that's the case, I'll gladly accept your offer and take advantage of you, Secretary Luo."

Secretary Luo's face was full of bright smiles. Look how well he said those words.

"That's right, I do plan to rent a factory in the industrial park, but I don't know if Secretary Luo has any good recommendations. My requirement is that it be of medium size."

"I work in the garment manufacturing industry, so I often need to transport goods. I don't have any special requirements, I just need convenient transportation within the industrial park. Of course, Secretary Luo, you can arrange whatever you want, I'm not picky."

In such a large industrial park, the factory buildings naturally vary in height and condition.

As the person in charge of the industrial park, Secretary Luo knew all the factories there by heart. He knew which ones were built in spacious and good locations by the roadside, which ones were tucked away in the back, which ones had inconvenient transportation, and which ones had problems with water and electricity. These were all resources at his disposal, so he naturally had to remember them clearly.

Clearly, Lin Fan's behavior today won the favor of Secretary Luo, so Secretary Luo generously gave Lin Fan an excellent suggestion.

"Xiao Lin, the factory buildings in our industrial park are roughly divided into three levels: 500 square meters, 1,000 square meters, and 1,500 square meters. The rent is 10,000 yuan per year, 20,000 yuan per year, and 40,000 yuan per year, respectively!"

"As per your request, I recommend Building 302 in Zone C of our industrial park. It's currently unoccupied."

"Come over tomorrow, and I'll prepare the contract. If you bring the funds, we can sign the contract tomorrow, and then this Factory 302 will be yours!"

Upon hearing Secretary Luo's words, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

"Really? Thank you very much, Secretary Luo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp, without mentioning the industrial park again.

He didn't even ask again whether the request he had just made had been fulfilled.

You need to understand that when you ask someone for a favor, you can set conditions, but they may not be able to meet them. Once you've set your conditions and they've given you their suggestions, the wisest choice you can make is to accept them quietly and without raising any questions.

Don't ask about related matters again, otherwise others will feel very uncomfortable.

If they meet your conditions, then asking them is just for peace of mind. If they don't, asking them puts you in a difficult position. But there are reasons why they didn't meet your conditions. Either they think your performance wasn't good enough, or they simply don't have a factory that meets your requirements.

At least if people don't say anything, you shouldn't embarrass them. That's the proper attitude when asking for favors. So Lin Fan wasn't sure how good the factory that Secretary Luo had arranged for him was. He'd have to go check it out tomorrow. But judging from his performance tonight, it probably wouldn't be bad.

But at least one thing is certain: Lin Fan would never be foolish enough to ask about the details of the factory now!

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Lin Fan, still reeking of alcohol, finally returned home around 7 p.m., supported by Lin Shuying.

Looking at Lin Fan, who seemed somewhat dazed, Lin Shuying brought him hot water to wipe his body with a complicated expression, and then cooked him a bowl of soup to help him sober up.

After drinking the soup, Lin Fan felt much better in his stomach and was not in so much pain. He leaned against the bed and smiled foolishly, looking at Lin Shuying.

Lin Shuying rolled her eyes at him, about to say something to complain, but hesitated for a moment, and then a look of heartache suddenly appeared on her face.

"Honey, is this how you usually talk business?"

Lin Shuying never expected to see this side of Lin Fan.

It turns out that Lin Fan, who is so radiant and cheerful in front of his family and outsiders, also has such a mercenary, obsequious, and self-sacrificing side.

Thinking about it now, it makes sense. There aren't that many glorious and righteous things in this world. Who knows how much bitterness a person who looks glamorous and makes a lot of money has swallowed in secret?

Outsiders can only see their outward charm, but they cannot see the suffering behind it.

Lin Shuying witnessed everything from beginning to end today and finally understood one thing: there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Opportunities are always earned. There are only so many spots in that industrial park, and everyone wants them. Why should they give them to you? Besides, you can give them cigarettes and alcohol, but others can't?

When both parties have equal interests, a person's emotional intelligence and communication skills become valuable.

With the same four bottles of wine, Lin Fan can accomplish a great deal, while others might not even be able to accomplish seven or eight out of ten. This is another of Lin Fan's abilities.

Clearly, Lin Fan deliberately brought Lin Shuying along today to let him see the shady things behind the scenes of the business world.

"Hehe, honey, it's okay, that's just how it is with social engagements."

"It's nothing more than eating and drinking, but it's not always like this. It's just that Secretary Luo happens to like alcohol, so we can only do it this way. If someone else had other hobbies, we could only cater to them!"

"So-called social interactions are simply about making friends with others. I happen to be quite good at making friends. I'm showing you these things today just so you can know in advance what I do on a daily basis. There will be many more occasions like this in the future, so I hope you won't misunderstand me then."

Despite his drunkenness, Lin Fan looked at Lin Shuying with a serious expression.

Today it just so happens that the other party is a male boss who likes to drink. But what if you met a female boss who likes massages? How would you handle that? Obviously, it might be a little less than dignified.

Lin Fan would never violate his principles, but some necessary contact was inevitable, so he didn't want Lin Shuying to misunderstand.

"Honey, I understand. Don't worry, I won't overthink it. I'll just feel sorry for you. You should be a bright and cheerful boy, but now you have to put yourself through all this."

"Promise me, husband, we don't care how much money you make. We just want you to be happy. If you ever feel unhappy, please stop doing these things. I will always be by your side!"
