Chapter Twelve: Another Shortcut

  "Who?" Long Yu Hui turned his head towards Zhang Ling with a somewhat disbelieving expression, then looked at Wang Lin with some surprise.

  What identity is Zhang Ling, Long Yu Hui didn't have time to deeply understand, from the moment they met, he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and then it was Li Ming Min's turn, for a while, Long Yu Hui really didn't have any time to thoroughly understand Zhang Ling. At this time, Zhang Ling spoke up, coincidentally giving Long Yu Hui a place to deeply understand him.

  Although Zhang Ling's appearance and temperament are extraordinary, every word and deed reveals an extraordinary demeanor. But to say something unpleasant, Long Yu Hui really doesn't believe that Wang Lin would have a noble son by his side. After all, what kind of person has what kind of social circle, this is not just idle talk, but rather the lessons learned from generations of people's blood.

  Just like Zhang Ran, although Zhang Ran's family is extraordinary and has a five-year relationship with Wang Lin, Long Yu Hui really doesn't think highly of their relationship. Although Zhang Ran appears to be a gentle and lovely person in front of Wang Lin, and hasn't done anything extreme, most importantly, she can maintain her boundaries and hasn't 'flirted with other men' during the five years of dating Wang Lin. She has also rejected many people's confessions, including some from wealthy families.

  Even so, Long Yu Hui still didn't think highly of the two of them. After all, family status was at stake, and even if Wang Lin's parents could put it aside and ignore what others said about the Wang family being too proud, Zhang Yan's family might not necessarily agree to this marriage. Some big families had a dazzling aura that was several times more brilliant than others, but they also had some aspects that were inferior to ordinary people.

  Their marriage is often the key to family interests, and at this point, the all-knowing Long Yu Hui is very clear. At this time, if he comes to investigate Zhang Ling again, Long Yu Hui will even believe that Zhang Ling may have gone through this incident with Wang Lin. However, it's also quite troublesome for him to run around with Wang Lin in the middle of the night. At this time, Long Yu Hui's positioning of Zhang Ling is probably a colleague, but he hasn't heard Wang Lin mention having such a beautiful female colleague?

  "I can take action on this investment matter to put pressure on the municipal government, requiring them to thoroughly investigate this matter." Zhang Ling gazed at Wang Lin lightly, and it seemed that Wang Lin's earlier angry outburst had touched a nerve in him.

  Zhang Ling, who had not intended to intervene, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy after seeing Li Mingmian's situation. Everyone is a woman, and no one would be happy if this happened to them. Moreover, Zhang Ling could see that Li Mingmian was the future pillar of their family, the only one who brought glory and had a high-paying career.

  Yes, being a people's teacher is indeed glorious. High salary, perhaps not elsewhere, but in Li Mingmin's agricultural family, her monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan is indeed considered high. Most importantly, it is a profession that can earn people's respect.

  Looking at Wang Lin's angry expression, Zhang Ling finally decided to intervene in this matter. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that finding the real culprit and bringing them to justice would be a difficult task, and Wang Lin might also suffer unfair treatment as a result. Zhang Ling understood these things, after all, they came from different family backgrounds and had inherent advantages in certain matters. However, when Wang Lin said he would do everything possible to punish the real culprit, that was when Zhang Ling decided to take action.

  "What group is investing? Putting pressure on the municipal government? Did I hear that wrong?" Long Yu Hui looked at Zhang Ling with some shock, then glanced at Wang Lin, as if waiting for Wang Lin's explanation.

  "Zhang Ling is from the Zhang Group, this time he came to our Zhongzhou City with the Zhang Group's inspection team to inspect investment projects. The provincial government, municipal government and district government all attach great importance to this business inspection." Wang Lin slowly revealed a smile and hastily explained.

  Yes, if it's the Zhang Group that raises objections, I'm sure the municipal government will definitely push for progress on this case. When the municipal government intervenes in this case, I'm sure the black hand behind the scenes will be powerless. Just now, Wang Lin was still worried about finding a solution, but now he can't help but slap himself twice, thinking that with someone like him sitting next to him who can solve the problem just by opening his mouth, why bother thinking so much? Isn't it just making things uncomfortable for himself?

  But soon, new problems came. The Zhang Group is not like other small businesses, it's a large listed group with many powerful people behind it, and it's not difficult to pressure the municipal government. The difficulty lies in whether Zhang Ling can take charge of this matter? A large group like this would never give up investing in a project just because of a traffic accident.

  If that's the case, then Zhang Ling will inevitably fall into the contradictions of internal struggle within the group. Isn't this just seeking temporary pleasure? Moreover, it would also drag Zhang Ling, an unrelated person, into the vortex of this matter.

  "Don't worry, my mom is the leader of this inspection team. I'm confident that I can persuade her." Just then, Zhang Ling seemed to know what Wang Lin was thinking and didn't wait for him to speak, instead taking a step ahead and saying.

  "This isn't good, is it? For this matter to make you go beg your mom, and it will also affect the future investment of the Zhang Corporation. I'm not guilty of this crime, let's think of another way." Wang Lin secretly shook his head.

  The method is tempting, and it doesn't require Wang Lin to be in the eye of the storm, he can stay out of it cleanly. However, this will inevitably put Zhang Ling in a difficult situation. Most importantly, Zhang Ling's identity is at stake. His mother is the leader of the Zhang Corporation's inspection team, and this time it's a substantial move led by the state's central development plan. From this, we can see just how high the Zhang Corporation stands in Huaxia?

  The person who can become the leader of Zhang's group inspection team must be at least a deputy minister of the investment department. Of course, there may be exceptions, but this time's inspection project will not be an exception. Because Zhang's group's investment quota this time is also quite considerable, with a fund of up to 2 billion. Any group, even if it's as wealthy and powerful as Bill Gates', would never ignore this 2 billion investment. This investment has not only been highly valued by government departments but also equally highly valued by Zhang's group.

  So in the selection of the leader of the inspection team, it must have been carefully screened, and this person's position will not be low at all. Saying that the deputy minister is already low, and it is possible that he is the investment minister of the Zhang Group. It seems that I still need to go online tonight to check the personnel issues of the Zhang Group's investment department. However, Wang Lin refused Zhang Ling's kindness because he felt that he was overreaching himself, and even a Zhang Ran made him fall instantly, Wang Lin really didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about Zhang Ling.

  "Alright, no need to say more. I'm also a woman and I know how Li Mingmian feels right now. I think I have the ability to help her get justice back, and doing so is also for the future investment security of our Zhangshi Group in the high-tech zone. I don't want to see our Zhangshi Group suffer any losses due to my negligence of this malicious traffic accident. I don't want to see a day when our employees will be in such a situation, that's called preventing trouble before it happens. This matter has now risen to the level of group safety, so there's no need for you all to intervene!" Zhang Ling looked at Wang Lin with a serious face.

  Actually, things aren't that serious. Zhang Ling just intentionally made this matter sound more severe. She didn't want to see Wang Lin do something stupid because of this, and since she had the ability to help him, why would she harm him for no reason? Moreover, Zhang Ling's words were reasonable, after all, no investor wants to see their employees working in a place with extremely poor security. In other words, this could even affect the high-tech zone's investment promotion activities, which was already beyond Wang Lin's capabilities.

  Wang Lin sighed helplessly, and since Zhang Ling said so, Wang Lin naturally couldn't find any reason to refute it. Moreover, Zhang Ling had a professional attitude and wasn't intervening because of Wang Lin's sake. Besides, Wang Lin didn't feel like he owed Zhang Ling a favor, as she was thinking for the employees of the Zhang Group, while Wang Lin was trying to help Li Mingmin get justice. Their positions were different, their purposes were different, but the result they needed was the same.

  Long Yu Hui stared at Zhang Ling in a daze, his eyes full of surprise. The Zhang Group? What concept is this? The Zhang Group was founded in the mid-1990s and initially relied on the service industry to gradually develop, with the most famous being Zhang's Department Store. There are at least over 200 branches of Zhang's Department Store across the country. As a large domestic supermarket, Zhang's Department Store basically occupies 10% of the share of large supermarkets nationwide.

  Later, gradually entered the real estate industry and reorganized into Zhangshi Group. At the beginning of the 21st century, it began to be listed on the stock market. Now, the stock price of Zhangshi Group has risen two or three times compared to the initial public offering, and there is still an upward trend. There were rumors online that Zhangshi Group had a certain central big shot backing them up. However, judging from the current business development of Zhangshi Group, Long Yuhui can also conclude that there must be more than one central big shot behind Zhangshi Group.

  It was previously determined that there was a big shot in the central government backing them, because Zhangshi Group only developed in the supermarket industry. Perhaps the big shot behind was in charge of commerce. However, later they gradually moved into real estate, which is different. Anyone can do real estate, but without a deep background, it's impossible to reach the position of the largest in the country. And this beauty in front of him is from Zhangshi Group and seems to have a pretty high status, which makes Long Yuhui quite worth studying.

  The Zhang family group is the direction indicator of Long Yu Hui's career, setting the Zhang family group as his lifelong goal. Although it may not be possible to achieve, wishes are always needed. Looking at this "heavyweight" figure in front of him from the Zhang family group, Long Yu Hui feels somewhat unbelievable. From Zhang Ling's every move, it can be seen that Zhang Ling's mother is a person who can speak up in the Zhang family group, even if it's not an important task.

  It was almost midnight when they left the hospital, and Wang Lin and Long Yu Hui had another argument in the car. The time had already passed midnight and entered 12:20. It was late, so Long Yu Hui drove to send Zhang Ling back to the hotel first, then sent Wang Lin back home, before taking care of his own affairs.

  After seeing Zhang Ling off, Wang Lin received a text message from Zhang Ling, which read: 'I hope we can become real friends, just like you and Long Yu Hui, friends who can talk about anything, okay?'

  Wang Lin quickly fiddled with his phone and replied, "I'll try my best!"
