Financial success and romantic happiness

Chen Qiang said helplessly, "Master Hong, what are you saying? I'm here on business, but I don't need to report everything to you."

Hong Guangfu smiled coldly, said nothing, and walked to the place where the steel bars were placed to move them.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan had an idea and quickly said with a smile, "Master Hong, I'll help you."

Wu Min frowned and said, "Lin Chuan, these steel bars are very heavy. Be careful when you and Master Hong move them."

Lin Chuan smiled at Wu Min and said, "I understand, Sister Min, don't worry."

Lin Chuan immediately carried one end of the steel bar, and Hong Guangfu carried the other end, and together they carried it into Workshop No. 3.

Lin Chuan's choice to help Hong Guangfu was, of course, for his own purposes.

So, during the moving process, Lin Chuan said with a smile, "Master Hong, I'm not being nosy, but I just think there are too many people with keys to our Warehouse No. 3. Those scrap materials can still be sold for some money, so they shouldn't be guarded by a special person."

Hong Guangfu understood the implication in Lin Chuan's words and looked at him curiously: "What? You're interested in that trash too?"

Lin Chuan quickly said, "Master Hong, that's not what I meant. I just think that valuable items in the company should be properly stored and shouldn't be handled so carelessly, right?"

Hong Guangfu said with a disdainful look, "Many people are eyeing those scrap materials. That Chen Qiang, that kid has something going on. I'm not trying to sow discord among you colleagues in Workshop 1."

Lin Chuan was secretly delighted.

He knew that Master Hong was a very upright person who spoke his mind directly. He didn't have much scheming or cunning; he was simply saying what he believed to be true based on his true feelings.

In Lin Chuan's eyes, such a person was a treasure for Longteng Company. Even if Longteng Company had to fire everyone else, it should not fire Master Hong.

Lin Chuan hadn't achieved his goal yet, so he continued with a smile, "No, Master Hong, to be honest, my relationship with Team Leader Chen isn't good either. But, you just said Team Leader Chen...? Of course, I'm not asking around, I'm just a little curious and want to know."

Hong Guangfu was also very experienced. He could tell that Lin Chuan wanted to know something from him, so he took the opportunity to say, "This team leader Chen runs to the warehouse the most often, and he always has some kind of reason. I don't know anything about the warehouse, but I just feel that there is something wrong with him."

Lin Chuan knew that Master Hong had likely seen through his intention to target Chen Qiang.

But he still revealed what he knew, which shows that he was definitely on his side.

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I understand. Okay, Master Hong, if Team Leader Chen goes to the warehouse again, could you send me a message? What do you think?"

Hong Guangfu immediately nodded and said, "Okay, it's no big deal."

After Hong Guangfu finished speaking, they arrived at the location where the steel bars were piled up. Lin Chuan and Hong Guangfu carefully put the steel bars down together. Hong Guangfu said, "Alright, I can carry this little bit of steel bars. You go and do your work. You're too delicate to do heavy work."

Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He knew that Master Hong was genuinely thinking of him.

Clearly, in his heart, he considered him one of his own.

But Lin Chuan felt that doing this little bit of work was nothing, so he smiled and said, "Master Hong, it's alright, let me help you. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now."

Hong Guangfu smiled slightly: "Then it's up to you, but you must do what you can."

Lin Chuan nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Lin Chuan and Hong Guangfu finished moving the steel bars together. Lin Chuan reiterated his request for Hong Guangfu to send a text message to notify him, and Hong Guangfu readily agreed. At least from Lin Chuan's perspective, he genuinely wanted to help him.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan felt relieved.

Lin Chuan walked out of the back door of Workshop No. 3 again. Wu Min immediately stepped forward and said with concern, "Are you tired? Come on, let's go back to the office and get some rest."

Lin Chuan nodded and returned to the office with Wu Min, but unexpectedly heard Chen Qiang's rustling voice coming from Zhang Mingde's office.

Although Lin Chuan couldn't hear what Chen Qiang and Zhang Mingde were saying, he had a feeling that Chen Qiang and Zhang Mingde were the ones selling the company's production technology and information, and that they were the ones reselling precious metals from scrap.

Lin Chuan remained calm, sitting in his office with the electric fan blowing. Wu Min, probably having her period, needed to go to the restroom to change some things, so she sat in the office for a while before going to the restroom.

Soon, it will be time to get off work.

At 5:40 p.m., Zhang Mingde walked out of his small office looking quite respectable, making a phone call as he went, saying, "Okay, okay, see you tonight, same place? Same place it is."

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes as he watched Zhang Mingde's retreating figure.

Now, he has pinned his suspicions on Zhang Mingde and Chen Qiang. The next step is naturally to find evidence of their wrongdoings so that they can be punished as they deserve.

As Lin Chuan watched Zhang Mingde walk out of the office, an idea came to him. He followed Zhang Mingde out of the office and listened to what he was saying on the phone.

As Lin Chuan listened, he heard Zhang Mingde mention a restaurant called "Fisherman's Banquet".

Lin Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

Fisherman's Feast?

It seems to be on that street full of snacks, right?

In other words, Zhang Mingde is on the snack street near the company tonight, and it's unclear who he'll be having dinner with at the Fisherman's Banquet.

A glint of cunning flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes as he thought to himself, "Since that's the case, and I don't have anything else to do after get off work, I'll go check out the food street and see what this guy is up to."

After having an idea in mind, Lin Chuan deliberately changed his route and headed towards the toilet to avoid arousing Zhang Mingde's suspicion!

At 6:10 p.m., Lin Chuan arrived on the snack street on time. He quickly found the Fisherman's Banquet Restaurant and saw Zhang Mingde's black Volkswagen Passat sedan at the entrance.

Lin Chuan was pondering how to continue approaching Zhang Mingde and investigating him when a familiar woman's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lin Chuan?"

Lin Chuan turned around and looked back, a look of surprise immediately appearing in his eyes.

After all, the people standing in front of him were none other than Su Miao and Xu Ziqing.

Lin Chuan suddenly had an idea and smiled at Su Miao and Xu Ziqing, "What a coincidence! You're here for dinner too?"

Su Miao should be resting today. She is wearing a white tank top and tight jeans, revealing her fair and rounded shoulders, which makes her look particularly feminine. It's as if she has suddenly shed her girlish naivety and become a mature woman.

Xu Ziqing was still dressed like a female student, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and wide-legged jeans, looking at Lin Chuan with curiosity in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Su Miao smiled and said, "Yes, you're here for dinner too?"

Lin Chuan nodded: "Then how about it? I've been wanting to treat you to a meal for a while now. Why don't we eat here at the Fisherman's Feast? To be honest, I've been craving fish for a long time too."

Su Miao said, "Okay."

Xu Ziqing nudged Su Miao and said, "Didn't they tell us to avoid interacting with other boys? Let's keep a low profile."

Su Miao said angrily, "We'll just do whatever they tell us to do! Are you going to eat or not? If you're not going to eat, Lin Chuan and I will."

Xu Ziqing looked helpless.

Lin Chuan squinted and asked, "Are those people still causing you trouble?"

Su Miao said with a disdainful look, "I don't care what they think. I'm a free person, I can do whatever I want, and it's none of anyone else's business."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes; he thought Su Miao was quite a character.

But at the same time, he also thought of the Wenchang Society and those young punks he had taught a lesson before. These people were no good, and he would make them submit sooner or later.

Lin Chuan, realizing this, decided not to think about it any further and smiled, "Then let's go, since we'd rather meet by chance than by chance."

Su Miao nodded, and Xu Ziqing nodded reluctantly, though she looked helpless.

Lin Chuan then walked into the Fisherman's Banquet with Su Miao and Xu Ziqing. Lin Chuan chose to eat in the main hall and randomly found a seat. As soon as he sat down, he glanced over and saw Zhang Mingde in a private room behind him, drinking with two men with tattoos on their arms.

Su Miao also saw the group in the private room and said with a disdainful look, "Aren't these the people who are with Wen Jiawang and his gang?"

Lin Chuan hurriedly asked, "Them? They're the ones who're with those blond-haired punks?"

Su Miao said, "That's right."

Lin Chuan couldn't help but frown. In other words, that group of people should also be members of the Wenchang Society, but he didn't know what their rank was within the Wenchang Society.

In other words, Zhang Mingde also had connections and dealings with people from the Wenchang Society, which Lin Chuan felt made the matter a bit complicated.

Immediately, Lin Chuan ordered two dishes and then handed the menu to Su Miao and Xu Ziqing for them to order. Su Miao and Xu Ziqing ordered three dishes, and then Lin Chuan handed the menu to the waiter to serve the food.

After about forty minutes of the meal, Zhang Mingde's surprised voice suddenly rang out behind Lin Chuan: "Lin Chuan, not bad! Having dinner with two beauties, your womanizing skills are absolutely amazing."
