Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: Chapter 226: Copy Everything? (Five Thousand Word Chapter) (2/2)

“That Yu Keke, she made a throat-slitting gesture at you in the end; it looks like she wants to harm you?” Shen Qianqian asked, changing the topic.

“Seems like it,” Lin Chuan nodded.

After pondering, Shen Qianqian said, “I’ve looked into the Morgan Group; that crime syndicate is dangerous. I worry they might target you.”

Lin Chuan walked down the stairs and laughed, “They’re not so frightening.”

“I just fear you’re getting arrogant and complacent,” Shen Qianqian chided while following Lin Chuan.

“Don’t worry,” Lin Chuan quickened his pace and got into the passenger seat of Shen Qianqian’s car, fastening his seat belt.

“Be careful and let me know if anything comes up; I can be there in no time,” said Shen Qianqian as she got into the car, started the engine, and prepared to drive Lin Chuan home.

Lin Chuan turned to look at Shen Qianqian and teased, “You’re not just my exclusive chauffeur, you’re almost becoming my personal bodyguard.”

“Personal bodyguard…”

Shen Qianqian’s lips curved into a slight smile, “Doesn’t that mean you owe me two salaries?”

“If I paid you a salary, would you dare take it?”

Lin Chuan blinked and retorted.

Shen Qianqian snorted, “If you dare pay, I dare report you. Bribe a public servant and you’ll get a taste of the jail cell and learn to behave.”

Prison, a place that humbles the most defiant of hearts.

Lin Chuan complained, “Hope springs eternal.”

Shen Qianqian smiled sweetly and changed the subject, “Let’s talk serious business; has the military factory’s license been approved?”

“It has,” Lin Chuan nodded.

“That was fast?” Shen Qianqian sounded surprised.

“Special issues, special actions,” Lin Chuan replied simply.

“Did you ‘sell yourself’?” Shen Qianqian suddenly asked.

Lin Chuan was taken aback, then chuckled, “What do you mean ‘sell myself’? That’s not a fitting analogy. You could get disciplined for that in formal settings.”

“Are you already speaking like a bureaucrat?”

Shen Qianqian winked, her teasing evident.

Lin Chuan responded, “Otherwise, you’re always on the lookout to catch me and send me to jail!”

“Did you really sell out?” Shen Qianqian asked.

Lin Chuan shook his head, “No, after thinking it over, it doesn’t suit how I operate. Indeed, that title would make things easier, but it would also complicate other matters.”

After Sun Cheng’s proposal.

Lin Chuan thought it over for an entire night.

Yet, after much consideration, he decided to forgo taking a position at the Weapons Research Institute. There were too many things involved, and if past events resurfaced, it would only lead to more trouble.

For instance, the incident at the Old Street Factory District.

“I thought you would take a position at the Weapons Research Institute. It would make things much easier for the military factory,” Shen Qianqian remarked.
