Chapter 24: The Lin Family Crisis

Lin Wan Er's family was implicated in Ye Xing Chen's wild behavior and was boycotted by other business forces. The family business faced a huge crisis, with partners canceling contracts, the capital chain breaking, and business coming to a standstill. Lin Wan Er begged Ye Xing Chen to restrain himself and take into account the interests of the family. However, Ye Xingchen disdained it, thinking that it was just a small trouble that he could easily solve. Not only did he not take effective measures to help the Lin family, instead, he continued to act as he did, further exacerbating the Lin family's predicament, leading to the entire Lin family complaining about him.

Lin Wan'er's heart was burning with anxiety, she knew the importance of the family business to the family. She once again found Ye Xing Chen, tears in her eyes, her tone pleading: ''Xing Chen, please, for the sake of our relationship, help my family. The family is really in a desperate situation right now, if you don't make a move, the Lin family will be finished." Ye Xing Chen, however, looked at her indifferently and said, "Wan Er, you have to know that in this world, only the strong can survive. If the Lin Family can't even withstand this small storm, then they don't deserve to be in the business world. But don't worry, when I have complete control of the business world, I will naturally allow the Lin family to rise again." Lin Wan Er's heart was filled with disappointment and anger when she heard his words, she didn't expect Ye Xing Chen to be so heartless.

At the same time, the other commercial forces saw Ye Xing Chen's attitude towards the Lin Family and became even more brazen in their suppression of the Lin Family. They raised the prices of raw materials and lowered the purchase prices of the Lin Family's products, causing the Lin Family's profit margins to be compressed to the extreme. Some of the Lin Family's employees began to leave the company in droves, and there was panic within the organization. Lin Wan'er's father, Lin Zhenhua, an entrepreneur who used to have a great deal of success in the shopping mall, was now also overwhelmed by this sudden crisis. He runs around trying to find a solution, but every time he hits a wall. He looked at the declining family business, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

Lin Zhenhua decided to personally go and talk to Ye Xingchen. He arrived at Ye Xing Chen's company, but was stopped by Ye Xing Chen's men. Lin Zhenhua was able to see Ye Xingchen only after he expressed his identity. He looked at Ye Xing Chen and said painfully, "Ye Xing Chen, when you were once down and out, my Lin family treated you well. Now you treat us like this, where is your conscience?" Ye Xing Chen, however, sat on a chair, crossed his legs and said slowly, "Uncle Lin, the mall is like a battlefield. The pain you guys are experiencing now is only temporary. As long as you believe in me, everything will be fine." Lin Zhenhua was shaking with anger when he heard his words, he knew that Ye Xingchen did not sincerely want to help the Lin Family at all, he was only perfunctorily trying to help him. But there was nothing he could do about it, he could only leave in dismay.

The Lin Family's crisis became more and more serious, and disagreements began to appear within the family. Some people thought that they should break with Ye Xing Chen completely and find another way out; while others thought that they should continue to rely on Ye Xing Chen and wait for his helping hand. Lin Wan'er struggled painfully between the pressure of her family and Ye Xing Chen's indifference, she did not know how to choose. Ye Xing Chen, on the other hand, was still immersed in his own business expansion plans, turning a blind eye to the Lin family's crisis, he firmly believed that his approach would ultimately bring greater benefits to the Lin family, even if he had to make the Lin family suffer some pain to do so, he did not mind. In his eyes, the only thing that mattered was realizing his dream of a business empire, everything else could be conceded for it, including Lin Wan'er and her family.

As the crisis of the Lin family deepened, Lin Wan'er's feelings towards Ye Xing Chen gradually moved towards the brink of collapse. She began to avoid Ye Xing Chen intentionally or unintentionally, no longer accompanying him as gently and considerately as before. Ye Xing Chen noticed Lin Wan Er's changes, and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart. He tried to win back Lin Wan Er's heart, send her expensive gifts, arrange romantic dates, but Lin Wan Er are not moved. On one of the dates, Ye Xing Chen carefully prepared a candlelight dinner and gave her a diamond necklace of great value. He took Lin Wan'er's hand and said fondly, "Wan'er, I know I've neglected you lately, but this is all for our future. Believe me, I will solve the Lin family's problems." Lin Wan'er, however, looked at him coldly and said, "Xing Chen, you no longer have me in your future. I can't accept a you who is so cold and heartless." After saying that, she got up and left, leaving Ye Xing Chen sitting alone, looking at the table full of food and the shining necklace, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Ye Xing Chen's anger and irritation in his heart reached its peak after Lin Wan Er left. He swept all the things on the table to the ground and roared, "Why don't you all understand me! Everything I did was to become stronger!" However, after the anger, a deep sense of loss and loneliness welled up inside him. He began to reflect on his behavior and whether he had really lost too many precious things for the sake of his so-called ambition. However, this reflection only flickered, and soon, he was once again taken over by the desire for business expansion, and decided to continue to move forward according to his plans, even if he had to lose the support of Lin Wan'er and the Lin family. He firmly believed that as long as he became the absolute master of the business world, he would be able to salvage everything. As a result, he became even more frantic in his work, launching even more violent attacks on his competitors, and his business dictatorship became more and more severe, with the entire business world trembling under his iron hooves, while the emotional rift between him and Lin Wan'er became wider and wider as if it were an impassable chasm.

Just as Ye Xingchen was in the midst of a fierce battle with the Business Alliance, the situation in the Lin family also took an unexpected turn. Lin Wan'er's older brother, Lin Yu, had always been quite dissatisfied with Ye Xingchen's behavior, and he decided to step forward to save the family business. Lin Yu secretly contacted some other business forces in an attempt to find new partners to work together against those forces that were suppressing the Lin family. However, his actions are detected by Ye Xingchen's enemies, who secretly set a trap and falsely accuse Lin Yu of commercial fraud. Lin Yu is taken away by the police for investigation, and this news is like adding insult to injury, plunging the Lin family into a deeper plight.

Lin Wan'er is distraught when she learns that her brother has been arrested. She finds Ye Xing Chen and cries, begging him to help save her brother. Ye Xing Chen, however, thought that this was a trouble that the Lin family had brought upon themselves, and he said indifferently, "Wan Er, this is Lin Yu's own problem, and he should be responsible for his own behavior. I don't have time to care about these idle matters now, I have more important things to do." Lin Wan Er looked at Ye Xing Chen in despair, she did not expect Ye Xing Chen to be so heartless. At this moment, she was completely disheartened with Ye Xing Chen.

In order to save Lin Yu, the Lin family had to raise funds from all over the place to prepare for a possible huge fine. The family business was already on the verge of bankruptcy and was simply unable to afford the expense. Lin Wan Er's mother fell ill as a result, and an air of despair permeated the Lin family. Lin Wan Er looked at her mother on the hospital bed and the family in trouble, her heart filled with hatred. She decided to make a complete break with Ye Xing Chen, and even if she had to pay any price, she would save the Lin family.

Lin Wan Er began to actively participate in the family affairs, and with her wisdom and courage, she tried to find a silver lining in the desperate situation. She discovered the weaknesses of some of Ye Xingchen's business rivals and decided to work with them against Ye Xingchen. Lin Wan Er's decision caused a furor, and the business world was watching this new strife. When Ye Xing Chen learned of Lin Wan Er's move, he felt both anger and pain in his heart. He didn't expect Lin Wan'er to be so determined to be his enemy, but his pride made him refuse to bow down. He decided to teach Lin Wan'er a lesson and let her know the consequences of going against him.

Ye Xing Chen began to suppress Lin Wan Er and the Lin family even more frantically, he used all means to try and bankrupt the Lin family completely. The Lin Family faltered under his attacks, but Lin Wan'er did not flinch. She led the Lin Family to resist tenaciously and fought Ye Xingchen to the death on the commercial battlefield. The battle was not only about the fate of the Lin family, but also about Lin Wan Er's dignity and love. In the course of the battle, Lin Wan Er gradually showed her strong side, her wisdom and courage won the admiration of many people, but also let Ye Xing Chen began to re-examine the relationship between himself and Lin Wan Er. But at this time the situation has become extremely complex, both sides are caught in a difficult situation, and how this business and love entanglement will end, no one can predict.
