Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 361 [(*^▽^*)]
In particular, he could feel that after increasing his physical strength and physique in the infinite world, his body in the real world would also become stronger, and he could now train anywhere he wanted.
Slightly relieved, Lin Leyou quickly calmed down and continued eating. Sure enough, after his physique improved, his appetite also increased.
He would never have been able to finish such a large meal in the past, but now he was able to. After finishing, he sat in the private room for a while before going out to pay the bill.
After paying, he walked out of the restaurant. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but as he walked out, he ran into a family of three going in for a meal.
Who else could this family of three be but Xue Zhengyang and his family?
Lin Leyou didn't turn his head to look at them specifically, but observed them out of the corner of his eye. No matter how useless Xue Qian was, he was still a player.
To have survived this long, one must have some tricks up their sleeve, but whether those tricks are good or bad is hard to say.
"Mom and Dad, I want that car! Please buy it for me!"
"Honey, you're not an adult yet, you can't drive, okay? When you're an adult, I'll buy you one right away, I'll buy you several!"
"I want it now. Even if I can't drive it, it'll be nice to buy it and keep it at home! I'll drive it when I'm an adult!"
Du Anxian laughed and said, "You're such a worry. By the time you're an adult, the car you bought now will be outdated. Who will drive it then?"
Xue Qian was taken aback for a moment, "Oh right, how come I didn't think of that? Never mind, I'll buy it when I'm an adult, and then I'll buy the newest, best, and most expensive one!"
Xue Zhengyang: "Alright, I'll buy them for you when the time comes. I'll sell you as many as you want. Come on in and eat."
Xue Qian was very excited when he heard this, "Dad, you're the best!"
Lin Leyou didn't look at them, but he could imagine the happy family of three, a scene that originally belonged to Xue Rui...
No, this woman, Du Anxian, is not Xue Rui's biological mother, and Xue Zhengyang is no good either. It's a good thing that Xue Rui left this family.
Just as he was about to leave, Xue Zhengyang, who hadn't even pushed open the door to enter the restaurant, suddenly received a phone call.
"Huh? What did you say?"
After hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said, Xue Zhengyang sounded extremely anxious. "Are you serious?"
Du Anxian and Xue Qian stood there waiting for him to finish his call before going in to eat. However, they didn't expect that after Xue Zhengyang hung up the phone, he would say to them directly, "You guys eat, I'm not eating, I have something important to do."
Du Anxian: "Has something happened at the company again?"
Xue Zhengyang cursed under his breath, "Yeah, something's happened again. Those old geezers are so stubborn for some reason. If they just gave it to me, everything would be fine."
"That bastard is always causing me trouble. I wish he had died with his mother who died young. Alright, you guys eat first, I'm leaving now."
He was in a fit of anger, and without waiting for them to speak, he turned and left. Lin Leyou had already walked quite far away and was still standing behind the roadside greenery, completely unaware of their presence.
He casually tossed a mechanical spider aside, and when Xue Zhengyang drove out, he had the little spider hide in the car and go with him to where he was going.
Since it would be six months before they could return to the Endless World, the mechanical spider wasn't in a hurry to retract itself. It decided to go with Xue Zhengyang to see Xue Rui first.
Judging from his attitude on the phone just now, he was either going to see the old geezer he mentioned or to find the bastard he mentioned, namely Xue Rui.
Ha! A bastard? If Xue Rui is a bastard, then what is his biological father? This Xue Zhengyang is really something else.
Lin Leyou strolled back slowly. Although it was a bit far from his residence, he didn't have anything urgent to do, so a walk would be good to clear his mind.
The mechanical spider hid under Xue Zhengyang's car and followed him all the way to the headquarters of the Xue Group. After he got out of the car, the little spider quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes and hid it at the very bottom, so that it could not be seen from the outside.
Xue Zhengyang took the elevator all the way to the top floor. His office was on the floor below. The top floor was the office of the actual person in charge of the Xue Group, namely his father.
That's fine, since he's the one who handles company affairs most of the time, and of course, many other senior executives also make decisions together.
He had never made a mistake. Even if he had a few slightly incorrect ideas, the other senior executives had always rejected them. He had always managed things quite well, but now…
In the top-floor office, besides his father, there was another person: Xue Rui.
Xue Zhengyang didn't even knock before pushing the door open and entering. Before he could even see what was inside, he blurted out, "Dad, why did you bring this bastard to the company?"
He used to say he would give him company shares, but that was just talk and he never took any real action. He always thought the group would stay in his hands, but now he's not so sure anymore.
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that there were not only the two people he had expected in the office, but also about a dozen senior company executives. At first glance, there seemed to be quite a lot of people.
When Xue Zhengyang saw them, he was also embarrassed. How could he not know these senior executives? Although they held a small number of shares, they still had shares in their hands.
They can't take control of the company, but they can still interfere with some of the company's decisions to a certain extent, since they will also lose money if the company makes a wrong decision!
If the company disappears, they will become penniless.
What they wanted was a boss qualified to sit in the company president's position and lead the company to become bigger and stronger! To them, Xue Zhengyang was neither good nor bad, just ordinary.
We can only maintain the status quo; there's no way to help them make more money.
Now that the old man has brought Xue Rui to meet them, they know exactly what it means.
Their biggest concern was whether Xue Rui, who had just started university, was capable of managing such a large group as the Xue Group.
But the old man said, "It's not that I'm handing over all the management to Xiao Rui right now. He still needs to learn from me for two more years, so don't worry."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt much more at ease. As long as Xue Rui wasn't an idiot, after learning from the old man for two years, he could at least achieve the level of Xue Zhengyang.
They might even be better. In that case, they would naturally be happy to stand on the old man's side, since the old man and his wife are the ones who hold the most shares in the Xue Group.
Xue Rui is inside!
The mechanical spider hid in the ceiling outside and didn't rush in, even though Xue Zhengyang didn't close the door after he went in.
Apart from Old Master Xue and Xue Rui, everyone else greeted the old man, got up and left the office, the last one closing the door behind him.
Um... okay, we really need to close the door. But will the little spider still be able to get in?
He observed the area outside for a while and found he couldn't find a way in, so he decided to just wait outside. After all, he was only there to see Xue Rui, not to pry into any secrets.
Grandpa Xue looked at Xue Zhengyang, feeling furious, but the doctor had said that he couldn't get too excited now, otherwise there might be problems.
He could only take a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down. "You bastard, you bastard? Who are you calling a bastard? The one you're keeping at home is the bastard! The bastard child you had with your mistress!"
"Let me tell you, Xue Zhengyang, don't think that just because you like that bastard, you can change the fact that he's an illegitimate child. He'll never touch anything from the Xue family in his entire life!"
Xue Zhengyang was speechless. Every word Old Master Xue said was no joke. He had always been a man of his word since he was young. Otherwise, how could he have created such a large Xue Group?
"Dad...he's my son..."
Old Master Xue didn't know what to say. He called his illegitimate son a son, but his legitimate son a bastard. He had been wise all his life, how could he have given birth to such a fool!
"I named you Zhengyang in the hope that you would be an upright and honest person, but what have you done? You're the complete opposite. Whatever name I gave you, you always do the opposite of what I want!"
"Alright, you piece of trash, get out of here now! I've already spoken with the other senior executives, you don't need to come to the company anymore. I'll be personally overseeing things at headquarters for the next two years!"
Xue Zhengyang was about to explode, but when he heard the last sentence, he deflated. Yes, Xue Rui, that bastard, was not yet an adult and did not understand any company affairs. He could not possibly replace him.
The only solution is for the old man to stay at the company for two or three years, during which time Xue Rui can gradually learn about the company's affairs, studying while learning how to manage the company.
He didn't think Xue Rui couldn't do it; he knew that Xue Rui had been smart since he was a child, even though he had just started college.
Old Master Xue said, "Get out. From today onwards, this company will never allow you to come in again. Anyone who lets you in is derelict in their duty, and I will fire them immediately!"
Xue Zhengyang was dumbfounded. "Dad! I'm your son... How could you do this to me?"
Old Master Xue said, "Just because you're my son, I still give you money to spend and you even get dividends. If you weren't my son, I would confiscate everything and make you sleep on the streets with that shameless woman and that arrogant illegitimate son!"
"Ha! You really think I'm too old to know anything? That illegitimate son you like is using the Xue family's name to bully men and women and cause trouble. I'm telling you now, if there's a next time, I'll expose their affair and the fact that they're having an affair in high society! And I'll make sure the Xue Group excludes them, so they'll lose face and can never do anything bad in the Xue Group's name again!"
Xue Zhengyang was trembling with anger, but he was the kind of person who only dared to do things behind people's backs and didn't dare to confront Old Master Xue directly.
"Dad, so you're just going to let me do nothing from now on?"
