Dashing Student-Chapter 583, Almost Peed Myself from Fear

"This responsibility is indeed an honor, but it is also an invisible shackle, binding our hands and feet, making us involuntary."

"Every decision no longer merely concerns individual preferences, but has far-reaching consequences, affecting the rise and fall, the honor and disgrace of the family."

"A slight carelessness could lead us into a predicament from which there is no return, facing an overwhelming disaster."

"Just like Zhao Zhenghui's downfall, his collapse was like a heavy bomb that plunged those families who were too close to him into an abyss from which they could not escape."

"In their pursuit of power and wealth, they lost themselves and ultimately paid a heavy price."

"These are all lessons from the past!"

Chen Nan couldn't deny it and nodded, "Mr. Lin is right, especially for a family of the Lin Family's scale, choosing the right side to stand on is crucial to advancing further!"

"Without a strong backing, it is impossible to replace those top-tier powerful families."

Lin Yuanshan smiled, "Rather than finding a strong backing, it's better to rely on oneself. Even if one cannot become a true elite, at least one can live freely and at ease!"

Chen Nan, however, shook his head and offered a different view, "Mr. Lin, self-reliance is certainly important, but in the constantly changing situation of Provincial City, going it alone is like rowing against the current."

"Look at those top-notch families, each one locates their position within the intricate power networks, depending on each other, securing their family foundations, lasting for generations."

"Family inheritance is not just about guarding the existing industries but also about planning for the prosperity of future generations."

"Refusing to take sides may seem to afford a carefree life, but it actually means standing alone when faced with crisis."

"Once a strong rival arises, or the industry faces turmoil, relying solely on one's own strength is usually not enough to withstand the impact."

"But if we can find a strong backing, we can not only gain an advantage in resource acquisition but also get protection in critical moments."

"For instance, with policy changes, market competition, and other aspects, our backer could use their influence to gain favorable conditions for us and resolve crises."

"It's like having a solid shelter in a storm, so the family boat can sail smoothly." Chen Nan's voice was low and forceful, each word was like a heavy hammer striking Lin Yuanshan's heart.

Lin Yuanshan slightly squinted his eyes, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Chen Nan continued, "The Lin Family, as an emerging family, has already shown great potential."

"But to break through the bottleneck and join the ranks of the top-notch families, choosing sides is an essential step."

"This is not a loss of self, but a strategy, a wise move to be responsible for the future of the family."

Lin Yuanshan remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Dr. Chen, what you say is not unreasonable."

"But this matter of choosing sides is related to the fate of the family, and cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness."

"How to choose the right backer and ensure stable cooperation are both difficult questions!"

Chen Nan's lips curved slightly, revealing a confident smile, "Mr. Lin, that is also another purpose of my visit."

"My development philosophy aligns with that of the Lin Family in many ways."

"If I could join hands with the Lin Family, I am certain we could carve a broader space for ourselves in the struggle among Provincial City's elite."

Lin Yuanshan lifted his gaze to look at Chen Nan, his eyes revealing a sharp and profound gleam, "I want to know, who is the person behind you?"

Chen Nan gave a self-deprecating smile, "I am but a loner, there's no one behind me!"

The smile on Lin Yuanshan's face stiffened. He had assumed that Chen Nan would have a strong backing, but he never envisioned that the other party would actually claim to be alone.

After a moment's contemplation, Lin Yuanshan said, "Mr. Chen, if that is the case, please forgive me for not being able to cooperate with you. I cannot entrust the life and death of the family to you alone!"

While Lin Yuanshan was moved by Chen Nan's words, he was not about to collaborate with just anyone; the risk was too great for him to bear.

Chen Nan smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Although I don't have any powerful connections, I still know a friend or two."

Lin Yuanshan shook his head with a smile. In his view, it would be fruitless even if Chen Nan knew ten or twenty friends, let alone just one or two.

Not enough to help the Lin Family firmly establish themselves in Provincial City!

"I'll make a phone call." Chen Nan calmly took out his cellphone from his pocket and dialed Hu Zhenguo's private number.

Even though it was already ten o'clock at night.

Hu Zhenguo still answered Chen Nan's call immediately, politely speaking, "Mr. Chen, why haven't you gone to bed at this late hour?"

Before, Hu Zhenguo had always referred to Chen Nan as Xiao Chen, but after the Zhao Zhenghui incident, his attitude towards Chen Nan had undergone a significant change, filled with immense reverence.

That's why he now addressed him as Mr. Chen!

The instant Lin Yuanshan heard Hu Zhenguo's voice.

He stood up subconsciously as if electrocuted, his eyes revealing deep shock and horror.

He had met Hu Zhenguo a few times in private, and often saw him on television, so he was very familiar with his voice!

However.

What he had never dreamed of was.

That Chen Nan actually possessed Hu Zhenguo's contact information.

Of course.

That wasn't the most crucial part.

The most important thing was...

Hu Zhenguo's attitude towards Chen Nan was extremely respectful.

Especially with that address of "Mr. Chen," it made his scalp tingle and sent a thick layer of goosebumps all over his body.

To think that Hu Zhenguo, the governor of the province, would show such respect, one can imagine how terrifying Chen Nan's background must be!

"Uncle Hu, you're too polite. Please, just call me Xiao Chen!" Chen Nan took a sip of tea and casually asked, "How is the investigation into Zhao Zhenghui's situation going?"

Hu Zhenguo replied, "The central government has sent a supervision team here. Although many matters are still being verified, one thing is clear, Zhao Zhenghui's life is over."

"He abused his power, accepted huge bribes, and severely violated party discipline, committing many acts that infringe on the rights and interests of the people!"

"Officials related to him are also under investigation by the discipline inspection committee."

After a pause, Hu Zhenguo couldn't help but sigh, "We have been able to take down Zhao Zhenghui, a tumor harming society, and you played an indispensable role in it. However, some things cannot be made public, and you can only be an unsung hero!"

A towering tidal wave rose in Lin Yuanshan's heart.

Looking at Chen Nan, his eyes were filled with horror.

After Zhao Zhenghui's fall, many people were speculating about the sudden cause of his downfall.

But who could have thought it would be because of Chen Nan?

These words could only have come from Hu Zhenguo. If someone else had said them, he definitely wouldn't have believed it!

For a moment, his gaze towards Chen Nan was also filled with deep reverence!

Even though the man in front of him was handsome and impressive, he still felt an invisible pressure emanating from Chen Nan!
