Chapter 41 Learn and Apply

Lin Xi, who was eating across the yard, had already extended his spiritual sense over here. When he heard Huang Juan's words, his eyebrows raised slightly.

She would get this house back sooner or later, but she didn't want to give Liu Dongsheng a free ride by giving him a large sum of money to buy this house. Why? This house was originally taken away by Liu Dongsheng through improper means.

But she couldn't think of a good way to get the house back without spending any money.

Liu Dongsheng snorted, "I'd be stupid to sell this house. It might get demolished, and that'll cost me more than just the money I'll make from selling it. Besides, while the middle school nearby isn't a top school, its enrollment rate is pretty good. Why would I move all this time?"

Huang Juan calmly kicked the fat boy under the table. The fat boy remembered what his mother had told him, that he had to talk to his father and move out quickly, otherwise their family would be beaten to death by Lin Xi sooner or later. She also told him that if they moved to a new house, the family would buy a car.

The little fat boy was not too afraid of Lin Xi, mainly because Lin Xi had been bullied by their family for many years. However, buying a car touched his heart.

He turned to look at Liu Dongsheng and said, "Dad, let's move somewhere else. This alley is so narrow that cars can't even get in. If we move, we can even buy a car. My classmates all have cars, but mine doesn't. It's so embarrassing!"

Liu Dongsheng's face turned pale. "Why buy a car? It wastes fuel and is not environmentally friendly."

The little fat boy snorted, "If I can't afford it, then I can't afford it. What's the point of being environmentally friendly?"

Liu Caifang shuddered when she heard this and lowered her head to eat.

Liu Dongsheng had been looked down upon by his daughter and son over the past two days. He was completely furious and knocked Xiao Pang on the head with a chopstick. "I can't afford it? There are so many cars that cost over 100,000 yuan nowadays. Do you think I can't come up with this little money?"

The little fat boy covered his head and said, "Then buy it. You just talk big but don't buy it!"

"You always coax me!"

"Do you know that at school, my classmates all laugh at me because my family is poor?"

Liu Dongsheng was completely embarrassed. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to hit the fat boy again, but was stopped by Huang Juan.

Huang Juan lowered her voice and said, "If your son wants to buy a car, then buy it for him. Lin Xi recently got a large sum of money. You are her biological father, so it is only natural for her to buy you a car."

"The signing bonus is 10 million!"

"Even though I only have five million now, it's not a big deal to take out one million to buy a car for my dad."

Huang Juan had a good plan. If Lin Xi really bought her a car, her family would make money, and she would naturally be happy.

If Lin Xi doesn't buy it, the father and daughter will definitely quarrel about this matter again. Quarreling is good, because their feelings will naturally become weaker and weaker, and the relationship will be completely severed sooner or later.

Lin Xi was eating when she heard Huang Juan's words and suddenly burst out laughing. Lin Fenfang said angrily, "Why are you laughing so foolishly? Be careful not to choke."

Lin Xi put away the smile on her face and said, "Nothing, I just thought of something funny."

She lowered her head to eat, while her mind continued to focus on the movements on the opposite side.

Liu Dongsheng hesitated after hearing Huang Juan's words. "Well, you know Lin Xi has a lot of opinions about me. How could she possibly buy me a car?"

Huang Juan exclaimed, "How can this father and daughter hold such a grudge? Why don't you just say a few soft words and it will be fine?"

Liu Dongsheng said angrily, "That girl is so stubborn. It's useless to try to persuade her softly."

Huang Juan smiled, "Take your time. Maybe she'll figure it out someday."

The little fat man looked around, not knowing how the topic had turned to Lin Xi again. He couldn't help but shout, "What are you guys talking about? Are you going to buy a car or not?"

Liu Dongsheng hit Xiaopang hard with his chopsticks, and this time he hit him on the head. Xiaopang threw the chopsticks away, covered his head and jumped up, "You only know how to hit people. Men who hit children are the most incompetent!"

A few days ago, Lin Xi said this, and he took it to heart. Now he is applying it in practice.

Liu Dongsheng was so angry that he wanted to smash the bowl. The fat boy had already dodged away cleverly after he finished speaking, and stood in the corner of the room still shouting, "I don't care, I'm going to buy a car——"

He was halfway through his words when Huang Juan winked at him, and he added, "We still need to buy a house. I hate living in this damn place. It's so dirty!"

"My classmate lives in a residential complex with a garden and a swimming pool. I want to live in a house like that too!"

Liu Dongsheng was so angry that he was breathing heavily, but there was nothing wrong with what Xiaopang said. Who doesn't want to live in a spacious and beautiful house?

While he was angry, he was thinking whether he should really sell the house to Lin Xi, take the money and buy another community with better green areas.

However, as soon as this thought arose, he stopped himself. If he really moved out and didn't live together, Lin Xi would be even less likely to recognize him as her father, and he would be even less able to enjoy everything Lin Xi had now and in the future.

Now that they live together, they see each other every day, and he still has the chance to visit Lin Xi.

Water dripping wears away stone, and one day it will move her.

As for buying a car, I'll have to wait until I get the money from Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was eating and eavesdropping happily.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Lin Xi called her sister to Lin Fenfang's bedroom, closed the door, and handed Lin Yuan a card. "There's a total of five million in here. Take this card, sister. It will be used for mom's medical treatment, and all household expenses will also be paid from here."

Lin Yuan hesitated and said, "Why is there still five million? I heard that the tax alone costs one million."

Lin Xi nodded. "The signing bonus is four million after tax. I also recently did an interview and earned over one million. I kept some for myself. You take this, sister. The password is my mother's birthday. You can change it."

Lin Yuan took the card, her hands shaking a little. Five million, such a huge sum of money, her sister just handed it to her like that.

She was a little panicked holding the card. "Do you think I should put this money on a few more cards? With so much money, what if I lose the card? What will I do?"

Lin Fenfang glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? Can you say something nice?"

Lin Yuan stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, I learned all this from you."

She thought for a moment and said, "I heard that fixed deposits can earn quite a bit of interest. How about I make a fixed deposit? Maybe the interest alone will be enough for us to spend in the future."

Lin Xi laughed and said, "Let's talk about these things after Mom is cured. How to use the money in the future, whether it's a fixed deposit or financial management, is up to you."

"However, you can ask Li Xiaoqiu. I think she is very good at managing her own property."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I'll call her later."

In the next few days, Li Xiaoqiu efficiently negotiated two more endorsements for Lin Xi, bringing the total to three endorsements, including the sports brand.

All three of her endorsements are first-line brands. Lin Xi has a good image and temperament, and is very popular. The contestants in previous years were basically tough guys, and some of them had really bad images and temperaments and had no commercial value.
