Chapter 414 A Dilemma
"I'm still investigating the situation of other families and expect to have news tomorrow," said Lin Fan.
Zhao Anmin stared at Lin Fan and said slowly, "If you can find those chess pieces, all the major families in Ancheng will be grateful to you."
"Although it's not a big favor like saving someone's life, it's still a big help." Zhao Anmin added.
Lin Fan shook his head and smiled calmly, "I'm not interested in these things. If they want to be grateful, let them be grateful to you."
"Why do I need these thanks? I think you are more suitable to accept this favor." Zhao Anmin said seriously, "If you have these favors, it will be easier to solve the difficulties you encounter in Ancheng in the future."
Lin Fan responded calmly, "Well, since you say so, I'll listen to you."
"Very good." Zhao Anmin nodded with satisfaction, thinking in his mind how to make this matter more beneficial to him.
"By the way, were they bewitched by some evil spell?" Zhao Anmin suddenly asked.
"It's very likely, but the specific situation is not clear yet." Lin Fan replied.
"If that's the case, then if you help them remove the evil spell, that would be a true life-saving favor." Zhao Anmin said with a smile, "Then, these favors will be very valuable."
"Grandpa, don't think too far ahead. We are about to lose this game," Lin Fan reminded.
"Haha, no more talking, just concentrate on playing chess." Zhao Anmin said with a smile, but then paused, "Let's stop here for tonight, it's time for you to go back and rest."
"Okay then. Good night." Before Lin Fan left, Zhao Anmin joked, "Don't keep Ziqing waiting."
When Lin Fan returned home, he saw that Zhao Ziqing had already washed up, her hair was slightly wet, and she was concentrating on her work.
"It seems like you are waiting for me to come back." Lin Fan teased.
"How is it?" Zhao Ziqing looked up and asked.
"Beautiful, so beautiful." Lin Fan praised.
"I'm talking about meeting my father," Zhao Ziqing corrected.
"Oh, well, he agreed and said he would try his best to find those chess pieces." Lin Fan replied.
"Do you think he can find it?" Zhao Ziqing questioned.
"It should be possible. Your opinion of your father may be a bit extreme." Lin Fan said softly, "Just because a person doesn't often do serious work doesn't mean he can't do it."
Zhao Ziqing sneered. Over the years, she had never seen her father do anything serious, which made her very disappointed.
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ziqing without saying anything. He knew what Zhao Ziqing would think if she knew some of Zhao Xingmin's secrets.
Lin Fan knew that Zhao Xingmin had changed over the years, not just in appearance but also in his heart. But how could he explain this change to Zhao Ziqing?
After all, who could easily believe that someone who had always disappointed others in the past had changed for the better? Moreover, for Zhao Ziqing, this meant that the views and feelings she had held for many years might be completely overturned.
Anyone who has been cheated by relatives for more than ten years will feel bad.
At this time, Zhao Xingmin was also in a dilemma.
"Forget it, let him worry about it himself, I won't make things worse."
Lin Fan thought to himself and gently held Zhao Ziqing's hand.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. It's getting late. Let's go to bed, shall we?"
"it is good."
Zhao Ziqing calmed down. Although he was a little disappointed with Zhao Xingmin, at least the other party was willing to investigate, which was a manifestation of responsibility.
Don't expect too much from a person.
"Go take a shower first, I'll come after I finish the work at hand."
"Ok."
Lin Fan agreed and went upstairs to take a shower.
When he came down from the shower, he found Zhao Ziqing already lying by the bed waiting for him.
Lin Fan climbed onto the bed with a smile.
Once the lights were turned off, the room became quiet and everything became mysterious.
……
The next morning after breakfast, Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing left the Zhao family.
"Didn't he come home last night?"
On the way to the company, Zhao Ziqing asked casually.
"No, he said he had something to take care of."
Lin Fan shook his head and did not mention Sister Sun.
"Humph."
Zhao Ziqing snorted coldly, knowing full well that he was having fun outside again.
"Ziqing, I see you actually care about him a lot."
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Ziqing and said.
"If I didn't care, I wouldn't pay attention to his movements."
"I just want to know how ridiculous he can be."
There was a hint of coolness in Zhao Ziqing's voice.
"Maybe things are not what you think. He may really be busy solving the chess piece problem."
Lin Fan still spoke up for his future father-in-law.
"When he learned that there was a traitor in the Zhao family, the first thing he thought of was to protect you from harm... Because now the real boss of the Zhao family is you, not the old man."
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Zhao Ziqing's heart moved slightly, but she didn't say anything else.
After arriving at the company, Zhao Ziqing started to get busy, while Lin Fan called Jiang Li and Cai Wen.
"What's the time you agreed to meet with Xu Jingjing?"
"Ten thirty."
"Then let's set off."
"Boss Lin, is Boss Zhao really not planning to attend in person?"
Cai Wen asked.
"this is a good chance."
"She doesn't like to be in the spotlight, and she doesn't like to create topics."
Lin Fan explained that if Zhao Ziqing appeared in person to sign the contract, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
However, this popularity may be a good thing for Zhao's company.
But considering Zhao Ziqing's identity, this may not be appropriate.
"Just the two of you can go there on behalf of the Zhao Company."
Lin Fan said to them with a smile.
"Three beauties joining forces will definitely create a lot of buzz."
"Aren't you responsible?"
Jiang Li asked subconsciously.
"I don't like to be in the spotlight either, so you guys just go."
Lin Fan shook his head.
"This is a great opportunity for you to showcase yourselves. Maybe you'll become famous, known as 'Beautiful Executive'."
"We are not interested in becoming internet celebrities." The two ladies responded with a smile.
Lin Fan was about to return to the office when his phone rang. "Brother Fan, Zhang Guilan from Guirenfang is here. She insists on seeing Mr. Zhao and won't leave unless she does," Xu Kai's voice came over.
"Oh? Not only did she not answer the phone, but she even came to visit in person?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is she?"
"Right at the gate."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Lin Fan hung up the phone, lit a cigarette, and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Lin..." As soon as Lin Fan arrived at the door, Zhang Guilan came up to him with a smile on her face.
"Please keep your distance. I'm allergic to overly enthusiastic people." Lin Fan took two steps back.
Zhang Guilan's expression changed slightly, but for the future of Guirenfang, she suppressed her anger and said, "Boss Lin, please let me in to see Boss Zhao."
"What's your purpose in meeting Mr. Zhao? You weren't like this before. You sounded very tough on the phone, saying you'd fight to the death." Lin Fan sneered.
