<h4>Chapter 1443: Chapter 1751: Future Daughter-inw</h4>


    "No problem." Nanrong Wanqing nodded and said, "Although Ling Song coborates with Hongyu Group frequently, besides them, we have many other partners to choose from, so it won’t cause any loss to Hongyu Group anyway."


    "Alright, if there’s really any loss, I’llpensate youter." Ling Chen joked.


    As they spoke, Ling Tao walked in from outside. "Uncle Ling, how did it go?" Ling Chen asked.


    "Not bad!" Ling Tao nodded with a smile and said, "Thanks to your intervention just now and Miss Nanrong showing up, those people don’t dare to cut ties with the Ling Family, fearing retaliation from you. Except for Ling Song, everyone else supports your father as the Family Patriarch. Now, your father’s position is secure."


    "That’s great, finally one big issue is resolved." Ling Chen rxed and said, "Uncle Ling, now that everything’s taken care of, I’ll head out."


    "No rush, it’s rare to be so cheerful today. Later, let’s go out for a meal, your dad has already arranged the restaurant. It’ll be a chance for the whole family to get together. Also, you’re the son of the Ling Family Patriarch, so you should get familiar with the family and make some connections."


    Since Ling Tao said that, Ling Chen naturally couldn’t refuse. By noon, Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing apanied Yang Qingling and Ling Gengqiu to the restaurant.


    By the time they arrived, Ling Kun and Ling Tao were already at the restaurant, hosting family members from the Ling Family Wen Sect. Ling Tao had prepared seats for them at the restaurant. To make the gathering lively, Ling Kun chose to have the banquet in the main hall rather than a private room.


    After sitting down, it wasn’t long before the waiter brought dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted great to the table. Ling Chen had barely taken a few bites before Ling Tao pulled him aside to propose a toast. Even Nanrong Wanqing was brought along.


    Faced with Ling Tao’s invitation, Nanrong Wanqing was momentarily stunned, her face flushed as she softly said, "Uncle Ling, I’m not a member of the Ling Family, asions like this don’t seem suitable for me."


    Ling Taoughed heartily and said, "No need to be shy, though you’re not now, you’ll sooner orter be part of the Ling Family."


    Ling Chen smiled slightly, held Nanrong Wanqing’s hand, and said, "Come with me."


    Seeing Ling Chen’s smile, Nanrong Wanqing’s face blushed, but her heart felt sweet. She got up and followed beside Ling Chen, walking towards Ling Kun together.


    Seeing Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing approaching together, Ling Kun’s smile became even more radiant.


    "Come, let me introduce you to everyone." Saying this, Ling Kun led them, proposing toasts table by table.


    "Patriarch, when will we be able to attend your son’s wedding?" someone teased. Ling Kunughed heartily and said, "Soon, soon, I’ll definitely let you know."


    After a few drinks, whether from the alcohol or for other reasons, Nanrong Wanqing’s delicate face was as red as a ripe apple, standing adorably beside Ling Chen, looking shy in a way rarely seen.


    Two hourster, the meal finally ended amidughter and cheers from everyone. Despite being a bunch of insincere people, at least on the surface, both hosts and guests seemed satisfied.


    Leaving the restaurant, Ling Chen didn’t follow Ling Kun back to the Ling Household.


    "Alright, since you have matters to attend to, you go ahead and take care of them." Ling Kun nodded and said, "As for the martial arts association issue you mentionedst time, I’ll try to find a way to secure a couple of spots for you."


    "Dad, don’t push if it’s really not feasible, I’ll figure it out on my own."


    Ling Kun smiled and patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, saying, "We’re father and son, so we’ll handle things together, of course." Then, Ling Kun suddenly lowered his voice, looking at Nanrong Wanqing in the distance teasingly, "Treat my future daughter-inw well."


    Back in the car, Ling Chen asked, "Where are you headed? Back to thepany or to my ce?"


    Nanrong Wanqing checked the time and shook her head helplessly, "I can’t, I still have to return to thepany to host a meeting, how about another day? I’ll likely be in Beijing this week."


    "Okay, I’ll ask you out next time we have some time."


    After dropping off Nanrong Wanqing at Hongyu United Investment Company, Ling Chen directly returned home, as he had an appointmentter in the afternoon regarding the martial arts association spots.


    Arriving at the office, Ling Chen had just entered when Dong Ying knocked and came in.


    "Chairman, the guest you invited has arrived, I’ve arranged for him to be in the reception room."


    "Great, I’ll head over right away."


    Shortly after, Ling Chen went alone to the reception room, opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man in a suit sitting by the table drinking tea. Ling Chen quickly walked over, smiled, and greeted, "Mr. Ye, sorry to keep you waiting."


    "You’ve finally returned," Ye Liangyong said with a squinting smile.


    "I was with the family, so it’s a bitte." Ling Chen paused, then shifted the topic, asking, "Mr. Ye, how’s the development of Qingyun Martial Arts Hall goingtely?"


    "Not bad, Qingyun Martial Arts Hall has gained a good reputation in Beijing. We’ve enrolled several hundred students over half a year, and I’m nning to open two branches." Speaking of business, Ye Liangyong said seriously, "Ling Chen, Master has talked to me, wanting me to run for a position on the martial arts associationmittee. Honestly, although Qingyun Martial Arts Hall is doing well now, I’m wondering if my experience is enough qualification?"


    "Mr. Ye, Qingyun Martial Arts Hall is just a reference point, the most crucial factor is yourwork." Ling Chen said, "I heard from Mr. He that you often help martial artsmunity people with problems, so you have many friends in martial arts circles."


    "That’s not much, just some effort I could extend. Some martial arts folks are engrossed in martial arts andck other life skills, so I provide them with some funds to help them out of difficulties, but really, they’re just small favors."


    "They may seem minor, but they can be impactful at key moments." Ling Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, people in martial arts circles value loyalty and will repay kindness. You might as well seek help from those people, I believe they won’t reject you."


    Ye Liangyong contemted for a while, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll give it a try, but I can’t guarantee sess."


    "No worries, it’s about effort, as long as we try our best." At this point, Ling Chen seemed to recall something and asked, "By the way! Mr. Ye, I almost forgot to ask, how’s Little Hua doing?"


    Because He Ziyun was busy managing Dragon Tiger Hall, he had sent Little Hua to Beijing for Ye Liangyong to take care of. Thinking back, Little Hua had been with Ye Liangyong for almost half a year, and Ling Chen found himself missing her a bit.
