Chapter 512: Chapter 246: Why Does This Business Negotiation Feel Like Meeting a Son-in-law?

"These improvement methods you’ve mentioned are genuinely good."

After carefully listening to Lin Shen’s long, detailed explanation, Su Zhenqing had lost count of how many times the young man had surprised him.

From his initial eloquence, to learning that he had actually founded two companies, to right now, where he was speaking so fluently about the current anime and cosplay scene.

All of this left Su Zhenqing baffled.

’Can one person really be so multi-talented?’

He was handsome, had a good physique, came from a wealthy family, and on top of that, was an expert in such a wide range of fields.

Su Zhenqing couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of admiration and curiosity toward the young man before him.

"Lin, this understanding you have... did you think of it all yourself?"

"These are things I’d already thought through before I even decided to try and sign Yuji."

Lin Shen, for his part, had "learned" to be humble at this moment.

"If there’s anything I’ve gotten wrong, I hope you can point it out, sir. After all, as Yuji’s father, you must understand her far better than I do."

"Actually, everything you said is correct."

Hearing how considerate Lin Shen was toward Yuji—to the point of having already planned out how to manage her personal brand before even signing her—made Su Zhenqing very happy.

"It seems you’re very dedicated to Yuji. Everything you’ve mentioned are highly effective strategies for her future development."

"Of course."

Lin Shen smiled.

"I think very highly of Yuji. Whether it’s her personality or her appearance, she’s absolutely in the top tier of all women. I envy you for having such a perfect daughter."

"To be honest, sometimes I’m pretty envious of myself too! Hahaha!"

Su Zhenqing burst out laughing.

If you complimented him directly, he might not show much of a reaction.

But if you complimented Yuji, and by extension complimented him for having such an outstanding daughter, that was the way to his heart.

Lin Shen’s emotionally intelligent remarks had "coaxed" Su Zhenqing into a state of pure delight.

"Ah, Lin, you’re exceptionally outstanding yourself. To have achieved so much by the age of twenty-five... Not only do you have a unique advantage in business, but you even possess an extraordinary talent for photography and post-production editing. I truly envy your father for having such an excellent son."

"You’re too kind, sir."

Lin Shen said humbly, then steered the conversation toward the part he was most concerned about.

"So, about signing Yuji..."

"Of course, no problem."

"That’s great."

Lin Shen breathed a long sigh of relief internally. Just as he was about to express his thanks, Su Zhenqing added something else.

"Of course, you’ll have to agree to a few of my conditions. Don’t let Yuji get bullied. She has a soft personality and is easily swayed by what others say. You’d best help her handle any rumors or gossip."

"You can rest assured on that point, sir."

Lin Shen said, thumping his chest in guarantee.

"That’s all part of my responsibility. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have handled it properly."

"I believe you."

Finally, Su Zhenqing leaned in and whispered.

"And one more crucial thing: you are not to make a move on Yuji!"

?

Lin Shen feigned a look of confusion.

"Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"You little brat, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you! Your emotional intelligence was so high just a moment ago, but now you suddenly don’t understand!"

Su Zhenqing chided him with a laugh, then said bluntly.

"Was I not clear enough? It means you can’t harass Yuji. Let her focus on her work and live happily. Don’t let her be troubled by romantic matters. That’s the scenario I want to see."

"Of course. Sir, I think you might be misunderstanding me."

Lin Shen gave a slight smile.

"I have a girlfriend, you know. How could I possibly harass Yuji?"

"We’re both men. You really think I don’t know what you’re thinking?"

Su Zhenqing clearly didn’t believe Lin Shen’s words.

"You already have two girlfriends. Would you really mind adding one more? My Yuji is so adorable, you must really like her, right?"

"Mhm."

Lin Shen’s nod of agreement made Su Zhenqing raise an eyebrow, but his following explanation fully demonstrated his high emotional intelligence.

"If I didn’t like Yuji, I wouldn’t have come looking to sign her. It’s precisely because I’m a fan of hers that I wanted to collaborate with her."

"Only passion allows me to better immerse myself in my work. That statement applies to any industry, doesn’t it?"

"You sure know how to talk, kid!"

Even Su Zhenqing, who had knocked around the business world for over twenty years, couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to Lin Shen’s smooth, high-EQ response.

This also made him a little worried.

’With such an outstanding guy, there’s no guarantee Yuji won’t fall for him!’

This kid, Lin Shen, exuded a masculine Charm from every angle that could only be described as a fatal attraction for women.

A handsome and refined appearance, a gentle and polite personality, a strong and well-proportioned physique, plus a witty and humorous way of speaking and a wealthy family background.

’Jeez, just thinking about it, he’s definitely the most perfect dream lover in the minds of countless women.’

Therefore, by partnering with someone like this, Su Zhenqing could hardly guarantee that Su Youji wouldn’t fall for him.

’It feels like it’s only a matter of time before she falls for Lin Shen!’

Su Zhenqing sized up Lin Shen again, but this time, it wasn’t from the perspective of a business partner, but from that of a father-in-law.

’To be honest, setting aside his messy private life, he really is an excellent candidate for a "son-in-law."’

’He understands how the world works, he’s a smooth talker, and he’s humble without being self-deprecating, possessing the unique confidence of youth.’

’Add to that his successful career, and the fact that he even gave me forty thousand yuan worth of cigars...’

’Damn!’

’Why do I feel like I’m starting to like this kid more and more?’
