Lin Jinxuan didn't know why his mother was so interested in this box of rose saltpeter.

But this is not surprising, as my parents have always paid close attention to cultural research materials related to "Dream of the Red Chamber".

He immediately contacted Lu Ziang and made an appointment to meet Lu Fang.

Lu Fang had already arrived in Yuncheng these few days. When he received Lu Ziang's call, he was still preparing for the auction.

As soon as he received the call and heard that the other party was his cousin's friend Lin Jinxuan, who still wanted to discuss the matter of rose saltpeter with him, Lu Fang did not hesitate for a moment and agreed directly.

However, when I learned that the other party wanted to meet with the R&D personnel:

"Brother, wait for me, I need to discuss something with my partner."

**

Lin Xi and her family of three received Wu Zifeng at the club.

They waited at the entrance of the club for a long time before they saw Wu Zifeng's car approaching.

Lin Chenhui stepped forward to greet him respectfully:

"Mr. Wu, thank you very much for your support of my daughter."

Hands extended, hoping to shake his hand——

Wu Zifeng did not respond to him, but just glanced behind Lin Chenhui. He saw the three of them were standing in a neat row waiting for him, but he did not see Daiyu coming. His face sank.

Lin Xi lowered her head, completely unaware of Wu Zifeng's expression, but Lin Chenhui noticed it.

He withdrew his hand awkwardly and said politely to Wu Zifeng:

"Mr. Wu, I have specially prepared a thank-you banquet for you today. Thank you for coming here to honor me."

Wu Zifeng said with a gloomy and terrifying expression:

"Boss Lin, your youngest daughter, Lin Daiyu, didn't come today?"

Lin Chenhui didn't expect Wu Zifeng to personally mention Daiyu's name. He didn't want to mention that matter at first, so he apologized:

"Mr. Wu is a distinguished person. My rebellious daughter doesn't know etiquette. I'm afraid she might offend Mr. Wu."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zifeng turned around and looked at Lin Xi:

"Didn't you tell your father that if your sister didn't come to the banquet today, I wouldn't attend it either?"

Lin Xi believed that, based on the past few days, he and Wu Zifeng had attended various chess exchanges and met so many chess celebrities, all of whom had praised Wu Zifeng and congratulated him on having a talented disciple.

This caused Lin Xi to lose herself in thought, and she felt that her level was indeed good and that she definitely held a high position in Wu Zifeng's heart.

She even forgot that it was because of her identity as Lin Daiyu's sister that Wu Zifeng accepted her as his disciple.

Although Wu Zifeng had told her that Lin Daiyu needed to be present, Lin Xi still held on to her luck.

Now hearing Wu Zifeng mention Lin Daiyu, Lin Xi couldn't help but clench her fingers. She didn't expect that Wu Zifeng would actually point this out to her in person.

"Sir, I...my sister doesn't want to come."

Lin Xi's voice became lower and lower.

Wu Zifeng's eyes were like those of a ferocious beast, and he looked at Lin Xi fiercely, without any affection between teacher and student at all:

"So she's not coming, why didn't you tell me in advance!"

He came to find Lin Daiyu and asked her to attend the internal exchange meeting of the Chess Association, so that he could strive to get Yamamoto to appear, and he could also establish his prestige in the Chess Association.

Wu Zifeng became furious and turned around to open the car door.

Seeing this, Lin Xi hurriedly apologized to him:

"Sir, I didn't know, and I hope you can forgive me!"

Seeing this, Lin Chenhui panicked and hurried forward, walked to the side of the car, and apologized to Wu Zifeng:

"Mr. Wu, please calm down. My little daughter has always been a hopeless case. I deliberately didn't let her come."

Ye Su also rushed over and said hurriedly:

"Yes, yes, Mr. Wu, don't believe anything Lin Daiyu says. She is just jealous of our Xixi's chess skills. Seeing that she got a good ranking, she used Xixi's fame to curry favor with you!"

It would have been better if Ye Su didn't say this. As soon as she said this, Wu Zifeng, who was originally a businessman, could see through this little dispute between small families at a glance.

This family is really ridiculous——

Mistaking a fish eye for a pearl, only to have the pearl covered in dust!

Wu Zifeng glanced at Ye Su and couldn't help but sneer.

His laughter made Ye Su feel uneasy. She hurriedly said to Wu Zifeng:

"So, Mr. Wu, if that rebellious girl Lin Daiyu says anything in front of you, don't believe it."

Wu Zifeng ignored her. He stared at Lin Xi and sneered:

"So...Lin Xi, shouldn't you tell your parents why I accepted you as my apprentice?"

Lin Xi pursed her lips tightly, her nails dug into her palms, her eyes were completely blurred by jealousy, and her whole body was shaking with anger.

Ye Su hurried over, holding Lin Xi's shoulders to comfort her, and asked Wu Zifeng in confusion:

"Mr. Wu, what are you saying? Didn't you accept Xixi as your apprentice because she came in fourth?"

But she heard that Wu Zifeng's own son, Wu Changquan, only won third place in this competition, and none of the other disciples performed as well as Lin Xi.

Lin Chenhui was also confused. He looked at Lin Xi and saw that she was full of grievances. He then looked at Wu Zifeng, who was ruthless and cold-blooded. He still said politely:

"Yes, Mr. Wu, our Xixi has a talent for chess. Aren't you targeting this for the next term?

Moreover, Xixi also said that you want to take her to Japan for exchange and study."

"Go check the champion of this chess competition first!"

After saying that, Lin Chenhui went straight to the back seat, slammed the door shut, and told the driver to step on the accelerator and drive away, without giving Lin Chenhui and the others any face at all.

Watching Wu Zifeng's car driving away, Lin Chenhui's heart suddenly sank. He really didn't understand what had just happened.

"Xixi, what does Mr. Wu mean? Didn't he accept you as his apprentice because of your performance in the competition? Why did you bring up Lin Daiyu?"

His tone was somewhat serious.

Lin Xi's face was ashen, with traces of tears on her face, and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain:

"Dad...why can't my sister see me doing well? Whenever I have a chance, she always comes to interfere!"

Seeing her precious daughter crying, Ye Su's heart softened immediately. She hurried over to pull Lin Chenhui away:

"Husband, you are really something. Xixi is crying like this, don't you understand? It must be that rebellious girl who is trying to trip up Xixi again!"

Seeing Lin Xi crying like this, Lin Chenhui knew that his tone was a bit harsh and he regretted it in his heart, but he always felt that things were not that simple.

He knew very little about chess competitions, but it was not difficult to know the results of such provincial professional competitions.

Thinking of Wu Zifeng asking him to check the champion information, Lin Chenhui took out his mobile phone, opened Baidu, and started searching for [Yunnan Province Chess Professional Competition]...

Lin Xi had been secretly observing Lin Chenhui with her peripheral vision. When she saw him start searching for chess competitions on Baidu, she cried even louder:

“Dad, I…I know it’s because I didn’t work hard enough that I failed to win the provincial championship.

But, if…if Lin Daiyu hadn’t snatched away Mr. Zheng’s chess record, I…I wouldn’t have only gotten fourth place… wuwuwu!”

Lin Xi's crying made Ye Suxin even more panicked. She snatched Lin Chenhui's phone and said angrily:

"Hubby, what are you still checking?

I understand, Mr. Wu, it must be because he knew that the damn girl Lin Daiyu had Mr. Zheng's chess manual that he insisted on seeing her! "

Lin Chenhui lowered his eyes and saw the news in bold font on the screen of the phone that Ye Su had taken away -
