Chapter 701: High Spirited (Part One)

In fact, not only were the two major online shopping websites shocked, all the offline stores were as well, regretting that they did not increase their order size.

Lin Hu felt like he couldnt eat anymore as he watched his parents withdraw cash from the account, a total of 70 million profit in just one morning. He slowly chewed on his food not knowing what it tasted like, and he felt his heart ache. Why! Why! If I had asked my brother back then, this project would have been mine!

Just when he looked up, hesitating whether or not to talk about it with Lin Dong, Lin Dongs phone rang.

Lin Dong received a call from an unknown caller. Hello?

The person on the other end of the phone was enthusiastic as he asked, Mr. Lin, are you available? Id like to treat you to dinner, any restaurant in the city, your pick!

Lin Dong had a slight smile on his face, looking calm and relaxed. You are?

My last name is Zheng, I do real estate in Shangcheng.

Lin Dong: Oh President Zheng, if youre doing this for our Revitalization series operator rights, then that would be a bit hard to do here. Of course, if its just for dinner, then youre always welcome.

President Zheng: Thats a must, feel free to pick any restaurant you like and itll be my treat. Lets get to know each other, what do you think?

Lin Dong laughed. Sure President Zheng. You make a pick and I will definitely be there.

Ive heard that President Lin was straightforward and easy to talk to. Sounds good, Ill make the arrangement.

After Lin Dong hung up the phone, another call came in. Hello?

Oh President Lin, sorry to bother you. So Im one of the agents for our Revitalization series, do you think we can order another 200K bottles for this quarter?

Lin Dong frowned: President Yan, I would sell you more if I had any left. But I really dont have any more left. You know that we must have quantity control for the first batch of products, or else I wouldnt be limiting the number of licensed operators. Im afraid that there are more monks than porridge available.

Yes, yes, President Lin. Are you free? How could the monk not contribute back to the temple after they received porridge? I want to treat you to a meal, please come if you have time President Lin.

Thats President Yan, I really dont have time to spare right now.

Its fine, President Lin. Just give me a call whenever youre free, and please remember me whenever Mandala Lab has new products in the future.

Of course, of course. Lin Dong chuckled.

It would be a lie if Lin Hu said he was not envious of Lin Dong. He sat across from Lin Dong and thought that he shouldve been the one chatting with the others like this with superiority. He had taken over the familys business, and therefore he shouldve been at the center of the spotlight in this family. However now, he felt incomparably transparent.

Lin Dong had just put down his phone and was about to continue eating when the phone rang again.

Little Dong, youve got all the phone calls at once? Mother Lin finished withdrawing the payments and came over as she prepared to enjoy her meal.

Chapter 701: High Spirited (Part Two)

Dont ask so much. There must be a lot of people trying to get into contact with Little Dong right now. With todays sales, people will see him as the god of wealth now. Lin Han knew what it meant to do business, and he understood this type of socialization better than anyone.

Only then did Mother Lin react to the fact that Lin Dongs calls were from those cooperative managers, and she quickly said, Then you should answer them quickly.

Its fine, lets eat first. They are all looking for me to ask about the product anyways, and we really dont have any stock left over at the headquarters, so its okay to not pick up any calls. Lin Dong said, Lets eat.

Lin Han glared at him. Business is important, you will screw up your masters business, you know? Since he asked you to take care of it here, you cant play with it. Knowing these people will do you good in business and society. Youre lucky that your master offered you this platform, letting you be one step ahead of others from the starting line. Do you know how many people want to climb up and get to know these Presidents? Yet theyre all phoning to find you. Even if the sales dont go through, your relationship with them will stay. Knowing more of these people wont hurt you, and you can only help your Master if you break into their social group. You cant keep using your masters resources without knowing how to expand them right?

Lin Hu felt bitter on the inside as he listened.

Especially the phrase that Your master offered you this platform, letting you be one step ahead of others from the starting line.

Why dont I have a master or relative like that?

Then Ill go take the calls. Lin Dong nodded, thinking that his father indeed knew how to keep a stable business connection.

Just take the call here, so I can supervise how you socialize with these people in the future, Lin Han said.

Lin Dong picked up the phone.

Hello?

Oh President Lin, your lines always busy, Im sure youre extremely busy right now, right?

Lin Dong laughed. Pretty much.

Alright, if you have time then lets get together for a meal if youre willing. You can pick the time and place.

Lin Dong: Sure, if I have time I will definitely head to President Wangs place and enjoy some food.

That sounds great. Then I wont bother President Lin anymore since youre busy. Give me a call once you have a chance.

Of course.

After hanging up the phone, another call immediately came through.

He smiled bitterly. This will go on endlessly.

Pick it up, you still need more exercise at your age and focus on business. Lin Han told him to continue answering the calls as if this was nothing.

Lin Dong stood up and went to the balcony to pick up the phone calls; he spent half an hour on the balcony picking up calls one after another. Seeing his high spirited expressions, Lin Hu was more than envious and felt like the food in his mouth was as tasteless as wax.

If I had a master like that, why should I worry about anything? Lin Hu was somewhat not reconciled as he said it.

Lin Han looked at him and didnt say anything at first. He took a bite of his food before he said, Then who was the one who looked down on him in the first place? Your brother had good eyes, and people dont get many opportunities in life, its whether you can grasp them or not. If you did, then this luck will do you twice as much with half the effort. It was because of your brothers choice that hes where hes at today. He was firm on following his master even after you and I strongly disagreed with his decision. Your vision and determination are really unlike your brother, so dont look down on him. Also, dont forget that your brother helped you with your project, otherwise would that project director grant you that piece of land? Youre still working on your project with his money, so whats your beef? Youre the older brother, and he gave you three hundred million without asking much. Where else would you find a brother like this in the world? Dont be ungrateful. He is your own brother, and there is no need to be jealous. You must work for yourself, so that you can pay him back what you owe. Youre not young, be steadier and more well-rounded.

I know, Dad. Lin Hu smiled bitterly. I just think that hes too lucky. How amazing is this master of his to put him one step ahead of most of the Shangcheng people who have worked hard for generations?
