While Chen Yu and others were thinking about how to keep Lin Cheng’s character setting intact, this celebrity dad in question had already read through all the posts in the topic community

After exiting Weibo, Lin Cheng took his mobile phone and made a call.

“Young Master.” The person who answered the phone was Wang Yu.

“How is the cleanup going at the company?” Lin Cheng asked without any preliminaries.

“Things are going very smoothly. At present, all the senior managers of the Lin family’s Jiajing, Weihua, Jingzhi… and several other companies have been replaced with our people, and the personnel in the three factories in the East have also been cleaned up. In addition, people from several branches were also thrown out for various reasons,” Wang Yu replied.

“Also,” Wang Yu continued after a pause, “according to your previous arrangements, all Lin family subsidiaries that have cooperative relationships with Hongye Group have terminated their cooperation using justifiable reasons.”

“As for those cooperative relationships that Hongye obtained by using the Lin family’s name, we have already clarified the Lin family’s stance…”

Hongye Group was the company owned and operated by Lin Cheng’s father, Lin Zhenhong, and his second wife, Ye Yun.

After Old Master Lin drove Lin Zhenhong and Ye Yun out of the Lin family, Lin Zhenhong established this company with the help of the Ye family. On the surface, it appeared that Lin Zhenhong did not use a single yuan of the Lin family, but in fact without the Lin family, Lin Zhenhong’s Hongye Group would not be able to develop to what it was today.

Over the years, Hongye Group has been like a leech sucking blood from the Lin family. While signing so-called contracts with companies under the Lin family umbrella, it has used some meaningless projects to eat away at the Lin family’s funds bit by bit and poured it into Lin Zhenhong’s own pockets.

On the other hand, they use the reputation and credibility of the Lin family to win over other companies as allies or partners.

Old Master Lin knew about these little actions of Lin Zhenhong, but because he was his son, and seeing that Lin Zhenhong’s movements were not big, Old Master Lin kept turning a blind eye to the situation.

This lasted for many years.

It was not until Lin Cheng officially took over a large part of the Lin family’s companies and industries that Wang Yu, his assistant, finally understood what it meant to act vigorously and resolutely.

In the company, the middle-level, senior-level, and key department staff who were arranged by Lin Zhenhong or bribed by him were eliminated in two weeks, and almost all the projects obtained by Lin Zhenhong with the help of the Lin family were terminated.

In the future, without the protection of the Lin family, it would be difficult for Lin Zhenhong’s company to continue to flourish as smoothly as it once did.

After hearing Wang Yu’s report, Lin Cheng responded and said, “The vacant positions will be filled as soon as possible.”

“Yes, we are already compiling a list of possible candidates for the positions. Once we are done, I will send it to Young Master’s email.

“Okay,” Lin Cheng responded.

“As for the Lin family’s land and factories that Hongye Group and the Ye family’s real estate company occupied in the name of cooperation, all of them will be recovered within a month. If the other party does not cooperate, judicial proceedings will be taken directly.”

“Have we encountered any problems with those?” Lin Cheng asked.

“There should be no problem,” Wang Yu replied.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded and said, “Then, prepare to deal with the Southwest area.”

After hearing this, Wang Yu’s expression on the other end of the phone changed slightly. Although he had already guessed Lin Cheng’s plan, he did not expect that Lin Cheng’s way of doing things would be so clean and decisive.

It could be seen that the young master wanted to completely clean out Lin Zhenhong and even Lin Zhenyi from the Lin family within half a year.

While Wang Yu was thinking about it in his mind, he started to comply with Lin Cheng’s instructions.

On the other side.

After receiving news of contract termination from their partners one after another, Lin Zhenhong and Ye Yun were sitting at home with dark expressions on their faces.

“The old man is trying to bankrupt me and force me to death!!” Lin Zhenhong cursed angrily.

Ye Yun beside him snorted coldly and said in a sinister manner, “I think this time, the old man is mostly allowing it to happen. The one who really doesn’t want to let you go is your good son, here to collect old debts.”

After hearing this, Lin Zhenhong’s expression became even darker.

At this time, Ye Yun said rather reluctantly, “Who would have thought… after all that, he would still be given a chance.”

Ye Yun became more and more angry as she thought about it.

From the moment she married into the Lin family, everything she did to Lin Cheng behind the scenes was to make the Lin family’s eldest grandson—who stood in the way of her own son—be completely unable to compete for the Lin Family’s considerable inheritance.

Later, Ye Yun used Lin Cheng’s agency and agent to keep him in a tepid state, hoping to make Old Master Lin disappointed in Lin Cheng and completely destroy Lin Cheng’s ability and opportunity to inherit the Lin family’s industries. .

Ye Yun has always been very satisfied with Lin Cheng’s career performance over the years.

But she never thought that while on the surface she was plotting against Lin Cheng, in reality she was being set up by Lin Cheng!

On the surface, Lin Cheng was a fool in the entertainment industry and didn’t care about the Lin family’s affairs at all. However, it could be seen from the way that Lin Cheng could easily get rid of the people they have arranged to sit in Lin family’s industries—Lin Cheng was definitely not ‘foolish’ or ‘unconcerned’.

“We were all deceived by him!” Ye Yun said through gritted teeth.

Lin Zhenhong said nothing, his face turning frighteningly dark.

After a long time, Lin Zhenhong said in a deep voice, “Call Lin Xiao back.”

Old Master Lin originally drove Lin Zhenhong and Ye Yun away, but he did not specifically say that he would drive their son out of the Lin family as well.

Therefore, Lin Xiao still had a position in one of the companies owned by the Lin family.

Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded, “I already told him. He will come back after finishing the big orders over there, maybe a week or two at the earliest.”

At this point, Ye Yun complained with much dissatisfaction, “Husband, our family’s Lin Xiao has done a good job, and the company he manages is also doing well. He is much better than Lin Cheng. Why is the old man so partial? He actually wants to give the companies to Lin Cheng!”

After saying that, Ye Yun looked at Lin Zhenhong and said, “Have you considered that matter? We can’t delay it any longer.”

“That matter…” Lin Zhenhong seemed to be hesitant.

Ye Yun interrupted Lin Zhenhong and continued, “Stop hesitating. If you hesitate any longer, all the Lin family properties will really go to Lin Cheng.

Ye Yun’s last words seemed to move Lin Zhenhong, and he nodded almost imperceptibly

At present, Old Master Lin had the idea of handing over the Lin family to Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng seemed to be taking over the Lin family’s industries at a very fast speed. This situation was making Lin Zhenhong and Ye Yun panic. The only way they could think of to stop it was to get Lin Cheng in trouble, ruin his reputation—maybe even send him to prison.

Ye Yun was very lucky that she had planned so much back then, and it left behind the most powerful hand to defeat Lin Cheng.

There was another matter that Ye Yun did not dare to mention to Lin Zhenhong.

She had already made plans to ‘send away’ Old Master Lin the same way she had previously ‘sent away’ Lin Cheng’s mother.

… …

Ye Yun thought that she had arranged everything perfectly, but little did she know—right after she finished talking on the phone with her subordinates and having given them their tasks—Cheng received a message on his mobile phone: [Ye Yun is planning to attack the old master.]

After reading the message, Lin Cheng’s eyes flashed with coldness, and he replied: [Compile the evidence.]
