Good Man Operation Guide

Lin Shiheng was petty, held grudges, and had deep scheming. It would be strange if he woke up and didn’t seek revenge on him.

Lin Guangheng resented him. Why did Lin Shiheng have to go to a government institution where I couldn't intervene? Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed still that year.

Miss Zhang couldn’t bear to see her boyfriend like this, so she took hold of him and said, “I have an idea. Why don’t you host a banquet and take me with you? Even if Lin Shiheng is capable, he won’t be able to snatch me away. When you see him in a miserable state, you’ll know how vulnerable he truly is.”

Miss Zhang spoke with confidence. She was attractive, had a good figure, and was publicly known as Lin Shiheng’s fiancee. Being intimate with the older brother of her fiance in front of him would undoubtedly provoke Lin Shiheng.

She wanted to help her boyfriend regain his standing and let him witness firsthand that Lin Shiheng was just an ordinary person.

Being comforted by his girlfriend, Lin Guangheng, though still uncertain, accepted her suggestion.

It had been a month of tasteless meals for him, and if he didn’t find out even a little about Lin Shiheng’s plans, he feared that he would torture himself to death before Lin Shiheng made a move.

“Okay.”

Lin Guangheng gritted his teeth. “We’ll host a banquet and invite him over.”

As people entered and greeted them with smiles, their expressions changed immediately after passing by, whispering to those around them, “I heard that they invited Lin Shiheng. Do you think they are flaunting their success so openly?”

“Hard to say. They finally managed to take control of the Lin family and secure their position. It’s probably also a way to show off.”

“But isn’t there still an engagement between Zhang’s family and Lin Shiheng?”

“Well, in this day and age, even married couples can get divorced, let alone engaged ones. Besides, both patriarchs from the two families are no longer around. Who can control them?"

“I wonder how Lin Shiheng will feel when he sees his fiancee and his older brother together.”

As they were discussing, Lin Guangheng, who was smiling and greeting people, suddenly stiffened his smile and stared straight at the entrance.

Lin Shiheng had arrived.

He didn’t bother concealing his intention to steal the limelight. He was dressed strikingly, and even after a year of cryogenic sleep, his handsome appearance remained intact, perhaps even more spirited and handsome than Lin Guangheng remembered.

“Mr. Wang, long time no see.”

“Hello, hello.”

“Oh, Mr. Liu, it’s been a year, and you look so prosperous.”

He greeted everyone around with a cheerful smile as he walked in, completely ignoring Lin Guangheng and Miss Zhang standing in front of the main entrance.

Lin Guangheng was initially taken aback, followed by a flood of embarrassment engulfing his entire mind.

Even at this point, Lin Shiheng dared to look down on me!

Miss Zhang felt a similar mix of emotions. She had always been aware of her good looks and had quite a few admirers in her social circle. She was initially satisfied with Lin Shiheng, a young talent, as her fiance. But Lin Shiheng, instead of being a responsible chairman, chose to freeze himself and leave her hanging. It was no wonder she helped Lin Guangheng seize power.

She felt justified and even imagined how she would proudly respond if Lin Shiheng questioned her, telling him how his own foolishness gave them an opportunity, and so on.

But to her surprise, Lin Shiheng didn’t even glance at her, as if he regarded her as transparent, casually passing by.

Miss Zhang’s face turned red with anger, and she called out to him, “Lin Shiheng!”

Lin Shiheng pretended not to hear and leisurely picked up a delicate piece of cake, taking a bite.

This kind of banquet had exquisite and visually appealing food, but unfortunately, most of the attendees didn’t know how to appreciate it. They wandered around with their wine glasses, bored to the core.

Seeing him in this state, Miss Zhang became even angrier, “Why did my grandfather ever agree to place me in an engagement to someone like you, Lin Shiheng? Since you’re here, let me tell you on behalf of the Zhang family that I’m breaking off the engagement with you!”

The laughter of the onlookers, who seemed to be engaged in conversation, abruptly stopped.

After being insulted to this extent, if Lin Shiheng still tolerated it, it wouldn’t be like his previous style.

Feeling the gazes of those around him focused on him, Lin Shiheng shrugged and reluctantly turned away.

It wasn’t about patience; he simply didn’t want to waste his words on someone destined to fail.

“Fine, since Miss Zhang has spoken, and there are so many senior figures from the business world here, I, Lin Shiheng, declare the annulment of my engagement with Miss Zhang.”

“I wish Miss Zhang and my brother a harmonious and fruitful life together in prison. May they have many children."

Lin Guangheng’s body stiffened, and his first reaction was, “Here it comes, this cunning bastard surely has a backup plan."

Miss Zhang was taken aback. “What do you mean by that?”

Sitting comfortably on the sofa with the cake in hand, Lin Shiheng spoke in a leisurely manner, “Brother, you’re so fond of the Lin family. The moment I announce my cryo-sleep, you immediately use every means to take control of the Lin family. Why don’t you consider why I, who was doing just fine, would give it up to you?"

Lin Guangheng clenched his fists tightly, staring at him intently. “What do you know?!”

“Our father excelled in the art of playing with women his whole life, but as he grew old, managing the company became beyond his capabilities. The Lin family has external troubles and internal turmoil. It may look prosperous, but it’s rotten to the core. As for me, I have self-awareness. I know I can’t save it, so I simply won’t. Brother, you wanted it, right? I’m giving it to you. By the way, is Gao Zhu useful? He’s my most capable subordinate.”

Lin Guangheng’s face turned pale, “You did it on purpose!”

Assistant Gao used to be under Lin Shiheng’s command. When Lin Shiheng was put into cryostasis, Gao immediately switched sides and joined Lin Guangheng’s camp as the company’s second-in-command. He helped Lin Guangheng with advice and strategies, as well as collected scattered shares from various sources to ensure that his shares barely surpassed Lin Shiheng’s, allowing him to claim the position of chairman.

“You deliberately gave up the company, you set a trap for me! Lin Shiheng, how can you be so disgusting?”

“Humph, if you think I’m disgusting, then I’ll be disgusting.”

Lin Shiheng shrugged indifferently, picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and casually continued speaking in a patronizing tone...

“If I remember correctly, there was a major project under negotiation for a period of 3 years when I entered cryostasis, right? Brother, you just gained control of the company and were eager to achieve results, so you secured that project, didn’t you? You shuffled funds, and while you managed to deceive others, can you deceive me, the former chairman?”

He paid no heed to how many people might overhear his words or how many would seize the opportunity to benefit from the news about Lin Corporation. He finished peeling the orange, ate it, and extended his hand to Lin Guangheng, clenching his fist, “In the end, Lin Corporation... will go... bang!! Everything will disappear.”

“Hahaha, Brother, you’ve been on guard against me for the past month, haven't you? Don’t worry, I haven’t done anything. I’m a law-abiding citizen. How could I secretly plot against you? I didn’t have to do anything. I just had to quietly watch you bring down Lin Corporation."

“Seems like you also involved the Zhang family, right? Unfortunately, even the Zhang family can’t cover up such a huge loss. Both of your families will probably meet in jail.”

Zhang Miss turned her head in disbelief and looked at her boyfriend. When she saw Lin Guangheng’s pale face, she widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Lin Guangheng! You kept this from me too!"

“I didn’t I just wanted some time to sort things out. I can handle it... I can...”

“Hmm, if I hadn’t woken up, maybe you could indeed.”

Lin Shiheng spat out the orange seeds and wore an expression of indifference, as if he were merely watching a spectacle unfold, “But who made your girlfriend provoke me? You see, I’m too straightforward. When someone provokes me, I can’t help but let some company secrets slip out. I guess the stock prices will drop, won’t they? Brother, you spent almost all your money to consolidate your shares and become the chairman. Unfortunately, all the shares you painstakingly accumulated have turned into nothing but bubbles. Oh, it breaks my heart just thinking about it. I really feel sorry for you, Brother.”

Lin Guangheng’s eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Lin Shiheng who was lazily leaning on the sofa, clutching his heart in a “so painful, so painful” gesture. He wished he could bite his younger brother to death in a few mouthfuls.

“You did it on purpose!! Lin Shiheng, I'll sue you!! You deliberately set a trap for me, it was you!!!’

“I haven’t done anything.”

Lin Shiheng shrugged his shoulders, “With all the elders present, please be judge for me. Due to my poor health, I had to sleep in cryostasis for a year. During that year, my brother here took over my company, had an affair with my fiancee, and occupied the old mansion our Father left me. And now, he has the audacity to blame me.”

Lin Guangheng’s body trembled with anger, “Assistant Gao! Assistant Gao is your man! You made him harm me!”

“What’s yours and mine? I’m the chairman, and he’s my assistant. Brother, when you’re the chairman, he’s your assistant. He listened to your instructions to consolidate the shares. How would that harm you? Brother, your attitude won’t do. You take credit for the good things and make your subordinates take the blame for the bad things. In the future, no one will be willing to work for you.”

“Oh, wait.”

He smirked and raised an eyebrow at Lin Guangheng, “Almost forgot, Brother, you're going to jail. I’m afraid for the next 20 years, no one will help you.”

After saying that, he brushed off the nonexistent dust from his clothes and stood up.

“Alright, I’ve had enough of this spectacle. I’ll take my leave. Everyone, 3 years ago, I registered a company called Yangchen. it has achieved some success in these 3 years. In the future, I hope everyone can support and cooperate with us."

There was a moment of silence in the surroundings.

Indeed, Yangchen was a new company that emerged 3 years ago. It had substantial capital and showed no mercy in its actions. In just one year, it had established a firm foothold and continued to grow stronger.

They never imagined that it would turn out to be Lin Shiheng’s company.

Could it be that Lin Shiheng had planned to leave the Lin family and go solo 3 years ago? Then, a year ago, he suddenly announced that he would enter cryostasis, which gave his elder brother, Lin Guangheng, the opportunity to seize control of Lin Corporation. Perhaps he had long had a plan in mind.

He was simply leading Lin Guangheng down a path of no return step by step.

Lin Guangheng also realized this. With a pale face, he collapsed to the ground.

For an entire year, he had been trembling in fear, only to discover that he had fallen into a pit long ago.

He was finished, Lin Corporation was finished, and even Zhang Corporation wouldn’t fare well.

And Lin Shiheng, who had stepped on him to gain fame, would also try to avoid confrontation with those shrewd old foxes in the business world, lest he end up like Lin Guangheng.

Cutting off the roots and using one’s predicament to warn others.

A year had passed, and Lin Shiheng’s methods were still as disgusting as ever.

Lin Shiheng had indeed fought a beautiful battle, and the benefit he gained from it was that few dared to offend him afterward. He wasn’t the type to monopolize everything. When there were benefits, he shared them. After making the company grow, he took a step back, obtained shares, and traveled around with his mother, enjoying nature and relaxation.

Hu Zimin’s health was obtained through points exchange, which extended her lifespan compared to ordinary people. She lived to be 101 years old before peacefully passing away in her sleep.

After her departure, Lin Shiheng sat on the rocking chair where his mother used to lie down, but he didn’t feel much sadness in his heart.

When people grow old, they must eventually depart.

Fortunately, he had been filial to his mother throughout her life, living comfortably until she peacefully passed away.

However, now that his only family member had left, he felt a sense of loneliness.

In his solitude, Lin Shiheng pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes.

[Master, I’m here.]

[Let's go to the next world.]

THE END

Translator

Well... this has been a fun ride.

I can’t believe I have been working on this book for around 4 years now. There have been many ups and downs, and a lot of times where I almost wanted to give up. I learned a lot in the process of doing the translation for this book, from completely knowing nothing, to almost knowing a few things now. XD

Thank you everyone that stuck with reading this good book from start to finish with me. Please take a gander at my other translating projects if you have time.

Sincerely,

Alex
