Chapter 353 What's Going On?

Dean: ...

He was worried that those people might cause trouble, and this is what happened? This is it?

It's as if nothing happened.

Is it that his thinking is too extreme, or are those people just abnormal?

The dean was starting to have doubts about life.

However, the dean immediately reported Lin Xiaotou's retirement.

I thought the higher-ups would say something, but just like the researchers here, they really didn't give any instructions. It's like they just retired and that was it, nothing happened.

The dean looked somewhat bewildered.

He clearly remembered how his superiors had instructed him to take good care of Comrade Lin Xiaotao and not let any talented person suffer any injustice. In short, the instructions from above were all to take good care of Lin Xiaotao.

But now that Lin Xiaotao has retired, they haven't said a word?

That's it?

That's it!

Is something wrong with this world?

Is this the attitude of the authorities towards retiring their precious child?

Could it be that Lin Xiaotao has fallen out of favor?

However, no matter what questions the dean had, no one could answer them for him.

So he could only keep his doubts to himself, which made him feel uneasy, especially when he saw the researchers working so intently. He used to think it was great that they were so engrossed in their research, but now he couldn't stand it. How could they be so heartless? They didn't even acknowledge Lin Xiaotao's departure. It was all just a pretense that they were so devoted to Lin Xiaotao before!

Researchers: ...

Fortunately, they didn't know; they were too busy.

They even secretly envied Lin Xiaotao; she could just leave whenever she wanted—it was so cool.

But they can't.

Sigh, I'd better just focus on my research.

By the way, there's a project that's promising and we could develop it in that direction, but that project has a problem; the approach is wrong.

Anyway, they really don't have any opinion on Lin Xiaotao's departure; they really don't have time.

The matter of the research institute was no longer Xiao Taohua's concern after she left. The couple took a train and went directly to Shenzhen.

Lin Guangsheng and his wife had already received the news and were overjoyed. They were busy welcoming their daughter and son-in-law early in the morning.

They've mostly lived here over the years, since their businesses are all based here. They even bought villas here and hired a few people to take care of them.

Such a life was something I never dared to dream of before, but the changes in the past few years have been so great that it's no longer just a dream, but a reality.

Thinking of this, Lin Guangsheng and his wife couldn't help but smile at each other.

Yes, the whole world has changed since the college entrance examination. Things that were once feared are now free. There are no more issues about "bad class background" or anything like that. Those who were wronged have all been brought back on track.

That's good.

"How do you think of this outfit?" Yin Qing looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, but still felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"I think the previous cheongsam looked better."

Yin Qing thought for a moment, then picked up the previous cheongsam and compared it to the previous one: "Hmm, it looks better than this one, so I'll take the cheongsam." With that, she went to the changing room to change her clothes again.

"Let's go, the train should be arriving soon if we go now."

Lin Guangsheng quickly got up, and the couple went out together.

"Sir, Madam," a young woman called out as she came out of the kitchen and saw the couple.

"Is something the matter?" Yin Qing asked.

The young woman glanced at Lin Guangsheng and then said, "I can also make some pastries, but I need to go out and buy some ingredients."

Yin Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll reimburse you when I get back."

"Then, may I ride with you in your car?"

Yin Qing frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, sir and madam, my daughter is so tactless." At this moment, a middle-aged woman immediately came out and quickly pulled the young woman to apologize: "Hurry up and apologize to your husband and madam."

"Mom, I just think it's more convenient this way; it's too far from the market here."

"Is it your place to ride in the sir's or madam's car?!" The middle-aged woman secretly twisted her daughter's waist.

Yin Qing did not stop her, but waited until the young girl cried out in pain before saying, "This is the last time."

Then she pulled Lin Guangsheng away.

"What's wrong with you! Just do your job properly in the kitchen! What's with all the fuss!"

"Mom, I just wanted to hitch a ride to the market."

"You think this is still our production team? You're really something, trying to hitch a ride!"

"It was just a side thing."

"You remember this: Mr. and Mrs. are Mr. and Mrs., and we are the servants they hired!"

“These things didn’t exist a few years ago. If people were to cause trouble like this a few years ago, they would have been arrested long ago.”

"You said it yourself, it was a few years ago, but it's not like that anymore. You better behave yourself, or I'll send you back!"

"Alright, I got it. Just treat your husband and wife like the landlords of the past."

"You still say it, you still say it!"

"I'll shut up, okay, Mom? It hurts, it hurts, stop pinching me."

"You'd better be more careful, otherwise, if your husband and wife fire us, where will we easily find such a good job!"

The young woman pursed her lips, but didn't refute her mother's words at this moment.

The other servants looked at the two with disdain, and none of them went up to speak to them.

Ultimately, these two were able to get in because of their good cooking skills. The mother was the head chef, and the daughter was the kitchen helper. But it didn't seem like the family valued them much. Anyway, everyone just needed to do their job diligently every day.

Yin Qing didn't take the little incident at home to heart; her daughter and son-in-law were coming back, and nothing was more important than that.

"Little Peach Blossom said she's coming back to give birth. You know, this child really says anything, isn't she afraid her son-in-law will dislike her?" Although she said this, Yin Qing's smile didn't diminish at all.

Parents most hope that their daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship.

“That Pei-chuan is really something. Xiao-Tao-hua didn’t want a child, so she never wanted one. Now that she does, he’s doing whatever he says. If he keeps spoiling her like this, will she ever grow up? She’s about to become a mother.”

Lin Guangsheng glanced at his wife and said, "Isn't this good?"

"You think it's good? Little Peach Blossom is being too willful."

"How about we get Little Peach Blossom changed?"

"What's there to change? It's fine as is."

Lin Guangsheng raised an eyebrow.

He didn't comment on his wife's double standards.

Of course, it's good if the husband and wife think alike.

"Fortunately, our family has some savings now, so even if our daughter never works, we can still support her."

Lin Guangsheng reminded her, "My daughter is much richer than we are now."

Yin Qing glared at him: "What belongs to our daughter is our daughter's. It's only natural for us to spend money on our daughter."

"Yes, yes, that's only natural."

"Lin Guangsheng, all our money will eventually go to our daughter."

"Don't worry, I've already made a will. From now on, all the money my husband and I have will go to our daughter."

"You're smart to know what's good for you. But I hope there won't be any problems with this will."

“Other countries do it this way, and it’s supported by the higher authorities and officially recognized, so there’s definitely no problem.”
