#288 - Chapter 288 Wife, let me tell you a secret!

After dinner, Xu Mengyao's phone rang.

"Hello, who is this?" Xu Mengyao asked, as the call was from an unknown number.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone: "Is Mr. Lin Chen with you, Madam Xu? I need to speak with Mr. Lin Chen. Please let him take the call."

Xu Mengyao handed the phone to Lin Chen, who was beside her.

Xu Mengyao was spending time with Lin Xiaoxi, while Lin Chen was reading a book next to them. The family of three looked very warm and happy.

"Hello, this is Lin Chen."

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said: "Mr. Lin, I am an American businessman. I can ensure that your books continue to be published in the United States and other countries."

"But there is a small condition."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "No need."

"Mr. Lin, I haven't stated the condition yet. I am communicating with you on behalf of the U.S. government. You are very talented, and you can join a more free, democratic, and powerful country."

"The United States is your best choice."

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said with a somewhat condescending tone.

A look of understanding appeared in Lin Chen's eyes.

So that's how it is.

The U.S. government's ban on his books was not the ultimate goal. Their purpose was to put pressure on him and then entice him to join them.

"Are you finished?"

"I'm going to hang up now."

Lin Chen said calmly.

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone quickly said: "Mr. Lin, please don't hang up yet. You can publish a book every month, and the overseas copyright fee for each book is ten million U.S. dollars."

"That's an annual income of over one hundred million U.S. dollars."

"The Xu family's money belongs to the Xu family; this money is your own. You should understand this, right?"

Lin Chen sneered.

As expected, they wanted to control him through such means.

This sum of money was a huge amount.

But even if he hadn't earned a lot of money from the Camel Country, he wouldn't immigrate because of it.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone frowned secretly. He hadn't persuaded Lin Chen yet? In his opinion, U.S. citizenship, coupled with such benefits, should be enough to persuade Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, you have a good relationship with Xu Mengyao. She and your daughter can also immigrate to the United States."

"The United States is the beacon of civilization in the world. You will know how wonderful this world is once you immigrate here."

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone continued to persuade.

Lin Chen said, "Were you Chinese before?"

"Yes… I was indeed Chinese before, but I am now an American. I have a green card from the great American Empire. Mr. Lin, you can be like me."

"The West is the civilized world."

"Here, if you have the ability, you can get everything you want."

The middle-aged man said seductively.

Lin Chen sneered: "I am not the same as you. Our country used to be very poor. If you wanted to live a good life and immigrated, I wouldn't say anything about you."

"But you keep talking about the beacon, the beacon. How will you have the face to meet your ancestors in the future with such blatant flattery of the West?"

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone's face turned gloomy: "Mr. Lin, if that's how you feel, then we have nothing more to say."

"Your ban may continue."

Lin Chen: "Then continue the ban. It's good to let the world know that the beacon of civilization can't even tolerate fairy tales."

After speaking, Lin Chen hung up the phone.

Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen: "Husband, what's wrong?"

Lin Chen returned the phone to her: "The United States found a dog to persuade me to join the United States, saying they would give me a green card."

"They also said that as long as I joined the United States, they would no longer ban me."

Lin Xiaoxi asked in confusion: "Daddy, can dogs talk?"

Lin Chen touched Lin Xiaoxi's little head and said, "Normal dogs can't, but some special dogs can."

Xu Mengyao smiled: "Xiaoxi, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Dogs can't talk. Your dad is scolding someone; he's satirizing that some people are not people but dogs."

Lin Xiaoxi looked at Lin Chen.

"Daddy, what you said is wrong."

"Bad guys can't be dogs; dogs are very cute."

Lin Chen asked: "Xiaoxi, then what do you say bad guys are?"

Lin Xiaoxi thought for a while: "Daddy, they are rats. Rats steal food; they are all bad guys."

"Haha, good."

"Then they are rats."

Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and smiled.

"Xiaoxi, play by yourself for a while."

Xu Mengyao called Lin Chen to the study. Lin Chen hugged her, and Xu Mengyao said worriedly: "Husband, if the Americans fail to win you over, will they resort to assassination?"

Lin Chen muttered in his heart that he had already experienced an assassination attempt.

But it wasn't necessarily the Americans who did it.

Judging from the fact that the United States sent someone to win him over, Lin Chen felt that the assassin was likely not sent by the Americans.

Given the arrogance of the Americans, they should first try to win him over to join the United States before killing him.

Killing him after failing to win him over would be more logical.

"Wife, don't worry."

"There are many people secretly protecting me now, and my strength is not weak either. It's not that easy for something to happen."

Lin Chen kissed Xu Mengyao and smiled.

Xu Mengyao frowned slightly: "I'm still afraid. The Americans have assassinated many people around the world."

"Some people are in high positions and have many bodyguards around them, but they were still assassinated by agents sent by the United States."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Wife, let me tell you a little secret. I can now withstand pistol bullets."

"Huh?"

Xu Mengyao stared blankly at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen said: "My internal energy has increased quite fast. Now, my internal energy can protect me and withstand ordinary pistol bullets. With my internal energy, it won't be easy to poison me to death either."

"Pay more attention to your own safety, and don't worry about me."

Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.

How long has Lin Chen been practicing Tai Chi?

He has actually practiced to the point where he can withstand pistol bullets?

"Husband, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Lin Chen smiled: "Of course not. Wife, don't tell anyone about this. If others know about this, it might cause some trouble."

Xu Mengyao nodded repeatedly.

"Husband, even so, you still have to be careful. If the enemy assassinates you, they might use a sniper rifle."

Xu Mengyao said with a solemn expression.

Lin Chen nodded: "I will be careful. By the way, have the bonuses for Xingmeng Technology been distributed to the employees yet?"

"Yes, they were distributed long ago."

"The most basic employees get four thousand five a day, and the backbone employees can get five thousand or even six thousand a day."

"They were as happy as if it was the New Year when the bonuses were distributed."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Chen smiled: "If I had so many bonuses every day in the past, I would be as happy as if it was the New Year. If the company gives me five thousand a day, the company is my home."

Xu Mengyao said娇嗔: "You are too cautious. With your abilities, you can earn a lot of money by showing them off."

"You insisted on learning martial arts before slowly showing them off."

Lin Chen didn't say much about this. He said, "Wife, the second batch of orders is not that urgent. Just arrange for the employees to work overtime for two hours a day."

"There will also be rewards when the orders are completed. But this time, the rewards won't be as much as last time."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

It's not realistic to give so many rewards every time.

With so many bonuses distributed by Xingmeng Technology this time, many people in other branches are already jealous.

"Beep beep!"

Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.

It was Tian Lang calling.

Lin Chen answered the phone, and Tian Lang's voice came over: "Mr. Lin, the mastermind behind the bounty to kill you has been found."
