Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 174.2: Real World (Extra2)

Lin Shiheng was petty, held grudges, and had deep scheming. It would be strange if he woke up and didn’t seek revenge on him.

Lin Guangheng resented him. Why did Lin Shiheng have to go to a government institution where I couldn't intervene? Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed still that year.

Miss Zhang couldn’t bear to see her boyfriend like this, so she took hold of him and said, “I have an idea. Why don’t you host a banquet and take me with you? Even if Lin Shiheng is capable, he won’t be able to snatch me away. When you see him in a miserable state, you’ll know how vulnerable he truly is.”

Miss Zhang spoke with confidence. She was attractive, had a good figure, and was publicly known as Lin Shiheng’s fiancee. Being intimate with the older brother of her fiance in front of him would undoubtedly provoke Lin Shiheng.

She wanted to help her boyfriend regain his standing and let him witness firsthand that Lin Shiheng was just an ordinary person.

Being comforted by his girlfriend, Lin Guangheng, though still uncertain, accepted her suggestion.

It had been a month of tasteless meals for him, and if he didn’t find out even a little about Lin Shiheng’s plans, he feared that he would torture himself to death before Lin Shiheng made a move.

“Okay.”

Lin Guangheng gritted his teeth. “We’ll host a banquet and invite him over.”

On the day of the banquet, Lin Guangheng’s face seemed fine, and standing beside him was Miss Zhang, dressed in a beautiful gown, looking stunning.

As people entered and greeted them with smiles, their expressions changed immediately after passing by, whispering to those around them, “I heard that they invited Lin Shiheng. Do you think they are flaunting their success so openly?”

“Hard to say. They finally managed to take control of the Lin family and secure their position. It’s probably also a way to show off.”

“But isn’t there still an engagement between Zhang’s family and Lin Shiheng?”

“Well, in this day and age, even married couples can get divorced, let alone engaged ones. Besides, both patriarchs from the two families are no longer around. Who can control them?"

“I wonder how Lin Shiheng will feel when he sees his fiancee and his older brother together.”

As they were discussing, Lin Guangheng, who was smiling and greeting people, suddenly stiffened his smile and stared straight at the entrance.

Lin Shiheng had arrived.

He didn’t bother concealing his intention to steal the limelight. He was dressed strikingly, and even after a year of cryogenic sleep, his handsome appearance remained intact, perhaps even more spirited and handsome than Lin Guangheng remembered.

“Mr. Wang, long time no see.”

“Hello, hello.”

“Oh, Mr. Liu, it’s been a year, and you look so prosperous.”

He greeted everyone around with a cheerful smile as he walked in, completely ignoring Lin Guangheng and Miss Zhang standing in front of the main entrance.

Lin Guangheng was initially taken aback, followed by a flood of embarrassment engulfing his entire mind.

Even at this point, Lin Shiheng dared to look down on me!

Miss Zhang felt a similar mix of emotions. She had always been aware of her good looks and had quite a few admirers in her social circle. She was initially satisfied with Lin Shiheng, a young talent, as her fiance. But Lin Shiheng, instead of being a responsible chairman, chose to freeze himself and leave her hanging. It was no wonder she helped Lin Guangheng seize power.

She felt justified and even imagined how she would proudly respond if Lin Shiheng questioned her, telling him how his own foolishness gave them an opportunity, and so on.

But to her surprise, Lin Shiheng didn’t even glance at her, as if he regarded her as transparent, casually passing by.

Miss Zhang’s face turned red with anger, and she called out to him, “Lin Shiheng!”

Lin Shiheng pretended not to hear and leisurely picked up a delicate piece of cake, taking a bite.

This kind of banquet had exquisite and visually appealing food, but unfortunately, most of the attendees didn’t know how to appreciate it. They wandered around with their wine glasses, bored to the core.

Seeing him in this state, Miss Zhang became even angrier, “Why did my grandfather ever agree to place me in an engagement to someone like you, Lin Shiheng? Since you’re here, let me tell you on behalf of the Zhang family that I’m breaking off the engagement with you!”

The laughter of the onlookers, who seemed to be engaged in conversation, abruptly stopped.

After being insulted to this extent, if Lin Shiheng still tolerated it, it wouldn’t be like his previous style.

Indeed, Yangchen was a new company that emerged 3 years ago. It had substantial capital and showed no mercy in its actions. In just one year, it had established a firm foothold and continued to grow stronger.

They never imagined that it would turn out to be Lin Shiheng’s company.

Could it be that Lin Shiheng had planned to leave the Lin family and go solo 3 years ago? Then, a year ago, he suddenly announced that he would enter cryostasis, which gave his elder brother, Lin Guangheng, the opportunity to seize control of Lin Corporation. Perhaps he had long had a plan in mind.

He was simply leading Lin Guangheng down a path of no return step by step.

Lin Guangheng also realized this. With a pale face, he collapsed to the ground.

For an entire year, he had been trembling in fear, only to discover that he had fallen into a pit long ago.

He was finished, Lin Corporation was finished, and even Zhang Corporation wouldn’t fare well.

And Lin Shiheng, who had stepped on him to gain fame, would also try to avoid confrontation with those shrewd old foxes in the business world, lest he end up like Lin Guangheng.

Cutting off the roots and using one’s predicament to warn others.

A year had passed, and Lin Shiheng’s methods were still as disgusting as ever.

Lin Shiheng had indeed fought a beautiful battle, and the benefit he gained from it was that few dared to offend him afterward. He wasn’t the type to monopolize everything. When there were benefits, he shared them. After making the company grow, he took a step back, obtained shares, and traveled around with his mother, enjoying nature and relaxation.

Hu Zimin’s health was obtained through points exchange, which extended her lifespan compared to ordinary people. She lived to be 101 years old before peacefully passing away in her sleep.

After her departure, Lin Shiheng sat on the rocking chair where his mother used to lie down, but he didn’t feel much sadness in his heart.

When people grow old, they must eventually depart.

Fortunately, he had been filial to his mother throughout her life, living comfortably until she peacefully passed away.

However, now that his only family member had left, he felt a sense of loneliness.

In his solitude, Lin Shiheng pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes.

THE END

Translator

Well... this has been a fun ride.

I can’t believe I have been working on this book for around 4 years now. There have been many ups and downs, and a lot of times where I almost wanted to give up. I learned a lot in the process of doing the translation for this book, from completely knowing nothing, to almost knowing a few things now. XD

Thank you everyone that stuck with reading this good book from start to finish with me. Please take a gander at my other translating projects if you have time.

Sincerely,

Alex
