Chapter 201: Chapter 192: Waiting at Wangxian Tower
That evening, Lin Yun ultimately decided to impart the method of cultivating Mental Strength to his parents and sister.
However, after Lin Yun passed it on to them, he instructed them not to reveal this technique to anyone.
All three of them felt the magic of this technique and clearly recognized its importance, thus they all agreed not to tell others.
"I feel that my memory has greatly improved. My academic performance will definitely get better." Lin Duoer was ecstatic.
For the following two days, Lin Yun, accompanied by Xia Qingqing and Zhong Ling, went around some places in Immortal Origin County.
It had to be said that the leaders of this term had managed the construction of Immortal Origin County quite well, resulting in many scenic spots.
While it lacked the prosperity of a big city, it had a unique charm of its own.
During this time, he also took Xia Qingqing to visit his master, who told him about the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall and those three coaches seeking him out.
In his words, his master hinted that Lin Yun should let them go.
According to his master, they weren't entirely responsible. Most of the mess was created by Wang Jie.
Especially, the other three coaches of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, who had previously admired him and left some money. Despite being tempted by money later, he didn't want to be too hard on them.
He only trained students and didn't take disciples, because he didn't want to impose too many constraints on them.
Those who admired him and gave him money, that was kindness.
If they chose to work at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall because it offered a higher salary, it was only natural. Good birds choose good trees to nest, and it was just human nature.
If he begrudged them for this, it would be unreasonable.
Lin Yun nodded.
If his master wanted him to let them go, then he would let them go.
During these two days, he had also investigated and confirmed that what had happened was mainly instigated by Wang Jie. However, the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, and those three coaches, hadn't been completely innocent too.
"My master is kind-hearted and asked me to spare you. I cannot disrespect him. But you know what you've done, and I roughly know as well. You can refurbish the Mountain Martial Arts Hall, add some equipment, and consider it as compensation!" Lin Yun said dispassionately to the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.
He didn't care much about the money, but he couldn't not punish them. Otherwise, he was planning to do business in Immortal Origin County and people might think he was easy to bully?
"Yes, yes, yes, please rest assured, Mr. Lin. I will make sure to do it!" The owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall promised, nodding his head repeatedly with a mix of excitement and fear.
He was also well-informed about the incident at the wedding in the Immortal Origin Hotel. He had also heard about it and was more certain about Lin Yun's powerful energy. He had been worrying about Lin Yun causing him trouble. The words Lin Yun left him with that day were like a sword hanging over his head, making him restless.
In the past few days, he had been trying to find someone to take over his martial arts hall, but had failed so far. He was unwilling, regretful, fearful, and his emotions were complicated.
But Lin Yun's words helped him find some relief.
The three coaches were also full of gratitude.
Just like that, two days passed by.
Wangxian Tower.
That day, it was not open for business.
All the floors were occupied by many businessmen.
That day, at the wedding in Immortal Origin Hotel, many people heard what Lin Yun had said and it had spread widely.
A lot of businessmen had come, on one hand to see if there were any benefits to be obtained, and on the other, to watch the drama unfold.
However, those without proper wealth and status couldn't enter Wangxian Tower.
The higher the floor, the higher the status of the people.
Originally, Wang Zhan, the owner of Wangxian Tower, did not plan to do this. But, he hadn't expected so many people would come that day, and he had to make this decision.
However, when he made this decision, he communicated it to Lin Yun, who also agreed with him.
What surprised Wang Zhan was that Secretary Zhu also came.
That day, at Wangxian Tower, Lin Yun had made Secretary Zhu lose much face. Wang Zhan was aware of that as well.
In the past two days, Wang Zhan also tried to find out if Secretary Zhu had made any moves.
However, he hadn't found anything.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Zhu showed up today.
To prevent any accidents, Wang Zhan informed Lin Yun of this development over the phone. Lin Yun acknowledged his message.
Secretary Zhu, given his status, naturally was on the highest floor, which was also where many wealthy businessmen were.
Many of the wealthy businessmen greeted Secretary Zhu as he entered. However, their greetings were mostly perfunctory, lacking warmth.
Many more wealthy businessmen, however, did not give him much attention.
The rich businessmen on this floor were mostly well-informed. Many knew about the conflict between Lin Yun and Secretary Zhu. Their purpose of coming here was to see if they could have the chance to collaborate with Lin Yun. Although Lin Yun hadn't arrived yet, none of them could be sure if Lin Yun's people were among them. They didn't want to disadvantage themselves.
Seeing this, the secretary beside Secretary Zhu gritted his teeth secretly.
This group of businessmen was rather opportunistic.
In the past, each one of them tried their best to curry favor with their Secretary. Now, they started ignoring him as they wanted to get close to Lin Yun.
He sneered in his heart.
Ninety percent of the chance was that Lin Yun called so many businessmen to Wangxian Tower because he wanted to invest in Immortal Origin County. Could these people avoid him, the Secretary, if they wanted to invest in Immortal Origin County? These people have a short vision and couldn't see this. When it comes time for them to find the Secretary, he would see how he treated them.
In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, and Lin Yun hadn't arrived yet.
"This Lin Yun is putting on quite a show. So many of us have been waiting since early morning and he's not here yet..." The Secretary beside Secretary Zhu complained angrily.
"He didn't specify a time. Spending a little more time waiting here is not a big deal." Secretary Zhu was resting his eyes while sitting in a chair. Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and said lightly.
Being not quite forty years old and having a high-ranking position, his patience was not something ordinary people could compare with.
At that moment, many wealthy businessmen on the fifth floor had been waiting longer than them. Hearing the Secretary's words, they shot a contemptuous glance.
Most of these businessmen were quite successful.
But their businesses didn't start off big. They had started small and gradually expanded. They had faced all sorts of situations. For today's big opportunity, what did this bit of waiting matter?
Recalling the times when they had to toady up to these officials, spending a lot more time than they were now, getting a procedure done took a hundred rounds, which was far more than the time they were spending waiting now.
Moreover, it's not like they were doing nothing now.
At this moment, the fifth floor was packed with wealthy businessmen and they were exchanging some ideas, seeing if they could discover any opportunities. Usually, such opportunities were hard to come by.
Some of their contemptuous gazes were naturally seen by Secretary Zhu's secretary, making him even more annoyed.
Secretary Zhu was the highest-ranking official in Immortal Origin County, and he was Secretary Zhu's secretary. How often had he been treated like this?
However, when he thought of Lin Yun's powerful energy, and remembered the instructions from Secretary Zhu before coming, he could only swallow his anger.
You guys, don't end up in my hands in the future. Please don't end up in my hands, he thought to himself.
