C16 Collecting All the Information about the Ceo of the Chepapp Group!

Lin Han shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's your call whether to answer or not."

Lin Kexin swiftly answered the phone.

A voice tinged with urgency emanated from the secretary on the other end.

"Kexin, we've got a problem. We were all set to sign a contract with the Chepapp Group chairman tomorrow, but they've already gone off to celebrate tonight. What are we going to do?"

Lin Kexin's heart sank upon hearing this news.

"What? He's already finalized things with the Chepapp Group chairman? How did it happen so quickly?"

"It seems the chairman reached out to him personally!"

Lin Kexin hung up without another word.

She knew her grandmother favored her cousin, but she never imagined it would go this far, to personally reach out to Lee Feng.

Her grandmother, being the company's chairman, had enough influence to warrant a meeting with the Chepapp Group chairman, who would certainly extend some courtesy.

But where did that leave her? What was her worth in this game?

She was still racking her brain over how to even get in touch with the group's chairman, and here they were, already finalizing contracts.

In frustration, Lin Kexin threw the documents to the floor.

Lin Han, not quite catching the details from the phone call, could tell something was amiss.

He calmly picked up the scattered documents and asked, "What's the matter? What's got you so upset?"

Tears streamed down Lin Kexin's face as she felt the sting of betrayal.

"My own grandmother went behind my back to set up Lee Feng with the Chepapp Group chairman. They're ready to sign the contract tomorrow. All my hard work... was it all for nothing?"

Gu Feng spoke with a nonchalant air.

"How can you be sure it was all for naught? Maybe the chairman will have a conflict tomorrow and won't be able to sign. Or perhaps he'll reconsider after seeing our proposal."

"As long as the ink hasn't dried on that contract, we still have a shot. Why the rush?"

Hope flickered in Lin Kexin's eyes as she looked up at Lin Han.

"Really? Do we actually still stand a chance to turn this around?"

Lin Han shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Of course, there's a chance to turn things around. As long as the contract isn't signed within the next minute, it doesn't count. There's still uncertainty. You need to get your foot healed quickly so we can take action tomorrow."

Despite her doubts, Lin Kexin found herself trusting Lin Han for some reason.

She nodded. "Okay, we'll take action tomorrow."

Lin Han was planning to prevent Lee Feng from signing a contract with the president of Chepapp Group the next day.

Using the excuse that it was getting late, he left Lin Kexin's room.

Lin Kexin didn't suspect a thing.

Once outside Lin Kexin's room, Lin Han immediately called Lin Feijie.

"Use whatever method necessary tomorrow to stop Lee Feng from signing that contract with the CEO of Chepapp Corporation."

Lin Feijie responded with utmost respect upon receiving the call.

"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll make sure it's taken care of."

The Lin family's standing in Plodon was not something Chepapp Corporation could match.

As long as Lin Feijie made any excuse to meet with Chepapp's chairman tomorrow, the chairman would eagerly show up at the arranged location.

So for Lin Feijie, preventing Lee Feng from signing the contract with Chepapp's chairman was a piece of cake.

With the matter settled, Lin Han finally felt at ease.

He poured himself a glass of red wine, truly in the mood to enjoy it.

Suddenly, his feisty sister-in-law arrived unannounced.

"Brother-in-law, having a drink? Mind if I join you?"

Her demeanor was a stark contrast to her usual haughtiness; she was composed and amiable.

Lin Han was somewhat incredulous.

"What's the matter, Brother-in-law? Can't believe I'd have a peaceful conversation with you?"

His clever sister-in-law was adept at sensing moods and quickly picked up on Lin Han's skepticism.

Lin Han replied with a playful grin.

"It's not every day my sister-in-law is so gracious as to join me for a drink. How could I not believe you? It's just that it's quite late. Let's save it for tomorrow. I promise to keep you company until we've had our fill."

Lee Kerong, Lin Han's aunt by marriage, was no pushover. Earlier that afternoon, Lin Han had managed to get on her bad side.

Lee Kerong was not one to let things slide easily. What devious scheme could she be concocting now?

It was out of character for her to voluntarily visit Lin Han's room—she must be up to no good.

But Lin Han was not one to be easily duped.

As expected, Lee Kerong glanced at her phone and suggested, "Brother-in-law, it's barely past ten. We've got plenty of time. How about a drink?"

Tonight, Lee Kerong was determined to drive Lin Han out of the Lee family. Her secret was out, and if her mother and sister found out about her nude live streaming, her mother would be furious.

With Lin Han around, she felt like she was walking on eggshells.

So, she hatched a plan to set Lin Han up as the perfect scapegoat to the Lee family.

Her strategy involved sharing a room with Lin Han under the pretense of drinking together.

After a few drinks, she planned to strip down and raise a commotion, ensuring the entire Lee family witnessed the scene. They would surely suspect Lin Han of indecent intentions.

The recent incident with Lin Han and the hotel lobby manager was still fresh in everyone's minds.

With that scandal in the backdrop, Lin Han's protests of innocence would fall on deaf ears.

A man who would dare take advantage of his own aunt by marriage was nothing but a scoundrel.

No one would want him to remain with the Lee family.

Lee Kerong's plan was indeed malicious.

However, Lin Han was no stranger to the ways of the world. Such petty tricks were unlikely to fool him.

"It's late, and you should head back. I need to get some sleep; I have important matters to attend to tomorrow," Lin Han said, swiftly opening the door.

The hallway was filled with the Lee family's servants, making it impossible for Lee Kerong to act on her plan.

Upon seeing the door open, Lee Kerong grew desperate.

"Brother-in-law, do you dislike me that much? Won't you even share one drink with me?" she protested, attempting to shut the door.

Sensing trouble, Lin Han quickly interjected.

"Your sister is on her way to discuss tomorrow's collaboration with Chepapp Group. I don't want to risk messing things up by having a drink with you. Look, here she comes."

Lee Kerong glanced back just as Lin Han seized the moment to push her out and hurriedly shut the door behind her.

Lee Kerong was a wildcard. She intended to enjoy some peace and quiet in this house for a while, so it was best to keep her distance.

Don't let her youthful appearance fool you; she was full of more tricks than Lin Kexin.

Despite Lin Kexin's seemingly aloof exterior, she wasn't one for cunning plans.

She was, in fact, quite amiable.
