Chapter 202 What a Great Nephew

After three rounds of drinks, even Mr. Lin's birthday feast had come to an end.

Lin Muqing and Zheng Shou were still drinking.

"Keep an eye on my dad for me, and make sure he drinks less~" Xinyue scurried over and whispered into Gu Yu's ear.

Gu Yu blinked, his expression slightly helpless.

He glanced at his future father-in-law, whose entire face had turned red, looks like he was about to become drunk.

Lin Xinyue pouted, also looking helplessly at her own father.

Her dad was like this; he had to get utterly wasted every time he ate out with others.

"I'm leaving my dad in your care! Mua!"

"Mom and I will take grandpa home first, and later you'll have to drive my dad home, okay?"

Lin Xinyue sneakily kissed Gu Yu on the right cheek, then scampered off.

Gu Yu touched his face and grinned foolishly for a moment.

After watching Lin Xinyue and her group leave the restaurant, he turned his gaze back to the banquet table.

Seizing the moment when both of them had put down their glasses to grab some food.

Gu Yu spoke to Lin Muqing, "Father-in-law, I remember you had something you wanted to discuss with Manager Zheng, didn't you?"

Lin Muqing immediately nodded his head.

Although he had drunk a lot, he had not forgotten his main purpose.

He had always been frustrated by not finding the opportunity to start a conversation with Zheng Shou.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept on drinking.

As soon as Gu Yu spoke, Lin Muqing immediately turned his attention to Zheng Shou, eager to see Zheng Shou's reaction.

Zheng Shou was eating, but when he saw Lin Muqing and Gu Yu's gazes settle on him, he inwardly muttered that things were as he had expected.

Today, the person who really had business with him wasn't Gu Yu, but Gu Yu's father-in-law.

But for him, it was all the same; as long as he could get connected with Gu Yu, there would be benefits.

"I'll overstep my bounds and address you as 'brother,' Brother Lin!"

"Brother Lin, since Mr. Gu invited me here today, and I've received such generous hospitality from both of you, whatever matter you have, as long as you say the word, I'll surely help if I can!"

"I'll lay it out here. Tonight, I'm not any Manager Zheng. I'm just your younger brother, a friend of Mr. Gu!"

Zheng Shou put down his chopsticks and spoke in all seriousness.

His grand gestures were also full of magnanimity.

Lin Muqing felt overjoyed. With Zheng Shou's words out in the open, his matter was almost certainly successful!

He looked at Gu Yu, completely amazed by the ability of his future son-in-law.

He had managed to invite Zheng Shou over so easily, and Zheng Shou had agreed to help so readily.

And he hadn't even mentioned the specifics of the matter yet!

"Then I'll also overstep my bounds! I'll just call you 'Zheng' from now on, Brother Zheng!"

"Brother Zheng, the favor I'm asking for isn't anything too big. It's just that my company wants to establish cooperation with yours."

"My company has recently developed a new mobile game, but we're suffering from poor operation capabilities, so we're looking for a competent and renowned company to partner with."

"These past few days, I've thought it over, and Shengda is honestly the perfect choice in my heart! I had also heard of Brother Zheng's reputation early on, that's why today I had my son-in-law invite you over."

Lin Muqing spilled out everything he wanted to do in one breath.

In his words, he also discreetly flattered Zheng Shou.

Zheng Shou was astute; he knew full well that Ye Muqing's flattery was mere politeness. Being the operation manager at Shengda, he had always been lukewarm—how could he have any renowned reputation?

But this flattering remark made him very comfortable because Ye Muqing was Gu Yu's father-in-law.

Ye Muqing flattering him also represented Gu Yu's stance.

Gu Yu would surely consider his father-in-law's face in the future and build a deeper connection with him, Zheng Shou.

Feeling reassured, Zheng Shou spoke more openly. "I understand, Brother Lin, you want to operate your company's product on our platform, right?"

"Actually, that's not a troublesome matter at all, and there's no need for Mr. Gu to personally invite me over. You just have to give our department a phone call, and naturally, someone will communicate with you!"

"After all, that's our line of work! There's no reason to refuse a partnership with others."

Zheng Shou sipped his wine and cheerfully said.

This isn't just polite talk; it's the truth!

Before Shengda Mobile Game Platform could come back from the dead, the entire Game Operation Department basically had no performance to speak of.

Slightly better companies who wanted to operate products wouldn't even think of them.

In Modu, just the same, operations like Tencent and Yi Net were much stronger than Shengda's.

Only some small companies with no funds or capability would seek out Shengda for cooperation.

And when it came to this kind of business collaboration, they were essentially taking all comers.

After all, even a mosquito is still meat; however little the performance, it had to be done!

When Lin Muqing heard what Zheng Shou said, he was stunned.

He had thought that contacting Shengda's Mobile Game Operation Department would be difficult, right?

But listening to this, it felt like any company could establish cooperation with them?

Then why did Lin Dong tell him that it was very difficult to find Zheng Shou, and that it cost money?

"Haha, Zheng, you can't be serious, can you? I heard it's very difficult to meet with Manager Zheng, and it even costs tens of thousands in contact fees!"

Without much thought, Lin Muqing half-jokingly said this.

But as soon as these words came out, Zheng Shou's brows furrowed.

Was this slander behind his back?

He had never taken any contact fees!

Especially since major bribery cases involving senior management happened recently in the investment department, the whole company was now strictly investigating the acceptance of external funds!

If anything were found out, without a doubt, one would be fired!

And now someone was spreading rumors about him taking contact fees? Wasn't this pushing him into a pit of fire?

"Lin, where did you hear such a thing? I, Zheng Shou, have never done such a thing!"

"Taking money like that is absolutely forbidden in our company!"

"If it comes out, I could lose my job!"

Zheng Shou's expression was very serious; he had to find out who was speaking such words behind his back!

Otherwise, if it got to the ears of the company's investigation team, even if he hadn't done it, he would be investigated.

Now that his career had finally started to ascend again.

If something like this happened, wouldn't it be infuriating?

Zheng Shou looked at Lin Muqing with a grave face.

Lin Muqing himself was taken aback. Was Shengda this strict internally about such matters?

So what Lin Dong said was a lie?

That thirty thousand wasn't actually what Zheng Shou wanted, but it was his so-called great nephew who did?

Like taking money from his uncle's pocket?

Lin Muqing was immediately furious; what a "great" nephew indeed!

To swindle even his own family!

"What's this, Lin?" Zheng Shou looked curiously at Lin Muqing, whose face was full of anger. It was him who was insulted, so why did Mr. Lin Muqing seem to get angry first?

Lin Muqing reluctantly glanced at Zheng Shou, then downed his beer in one go.

It took him a few seconds before he explained to Zheng Shou, "Zheng, this isn't something someone else said, it was my own great nephew who said it!"

"Your great nephew is?"

Zheng Shou asked, while quickly thinking of Lin-surnamed individuals related to him.

Lin Muqing slammed the table:

"Lin Dong!"

"That little rascal! Daring to blacken my name like that! I'll make sure he gets what's coming to him at work tomorrow!"

Upon hearing that it was one of his own subordinates, Zheng Shou immediately became furious.

He never would have suspected that the person maligning him was someone close to him!
