Chapter 686: Is your sister really playing a game?
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Bing squatted aside and smoked a cigarette.
On the other side.
Lin Xi kept her expression unchanged, pretending to be calm and came to her father, squatting down: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin Bing glanced at his eldest daughter. Although Lin Xi concealed it well, as a father, he could still see the smile between Lin Xi's eyebrows at a glance.
He put out the cigarette, then dispersed the smoke in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are deliberately making fun of your father, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xi frowned, looking puzzled.
Lin Bing didn't say anything, but just gently pinched her ear, as if he wanted to show his father's majesty.
Just like when he was a child.
Lin Xi was stunned, then immediately shook her head, turned her head away, shrugged her shoulders, and laughed softly. It was
equivalent to tacit consent.
She did it on purpose.
Lin Bing looked at his eldest daughter, couldn't help but smile, then looked at the sky dyed with red clouds, and said helplessly: "You have grown up, whether it is you or Xiaoyao."
After that.
He felt a little melancholy.
He didn't expect to see this scene when he came out...
The two sisters didn't belong to the category of preservation and reform.
Instead, they rebuilt a business empire on the basis of complete demolition...
Now Lin Bing felt that he was the "old guy" in some movies. Although he was in there for a short time, the whole world had changed after he came out.
Then the loyal younger brother introduced him to the changes in the world. Although he was shocked in his heart, he remained calm for the sake of face and was unwilling to accept the fact that the world had changed.
Then, it was almost time for him to not accept the changes in the world and still follow his old ways, and a conflict broke out with the loyal younger brother, and then the younger brother shouted "The world has changed" and woke him up...
Thinking of this.
Lin Bing couldn't help but smile.
In fact, he was even more miserable.
Because the one following him was not a loyal younger brother, but his own daughter.
He couldn't pretend even if he wanted to...
"Are you still going to Lin Mu's studio?"
At this time.
Lin Xi restrained his expression again, turned around, and asked.
Lin Bing was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Give Dad some face, go tomorrow... You can't let me lose face in front of my two daughters in one day?"
"Whatever you want."
Lin Xi stood up and didn't object.
In fact, she didn't really want to go to Linmu Studio right away.
The situation there is a bit special.
As the hub of Youmei Technology and Linmu Financial Holdings, and the biggest confidence of the two companies.
The remaining time is not enough for Lin Bing to understand everything.
"If you don't go, go home."
Lin Xi turned and opened the car door: "I asked Xiaoyao to come back early. If you have any surprises, prepare them quickly."
"..."
Hearing this, Lin Bing sighed again.
What other surprises can he have?
He was almost fainted by the surprises of the two sisters...
...
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao had just finished a day's work when she received a call from Lin Xi, asking her to go back early.
Lin Yao didn't ask why, and adjusted her plan a little, and asked Xu Huan to take her back at around seven o'clock.
When she got home. As soon as
Lin Yao entered the door, she noticed two pairs of unfamiliar shoes at the entrance.
Faint sounds of conversation were heard.
While Lin Yao was changing her shoes, she listened carefully to the conversation and soon knew who was coming.
She walked into the living room in slippers.
Zhang Youjie and Lin Bing heard the approaching footsteps and immediately stopped talking, then turned back to look at the aisle.
Lin Bing's butt had left the sofa, ready to greet his little daughter's surprised expression, as well as the possible scene of hugging and crying, a loving father and a filial daughter.
And in fact,
Lin Yao did not disappoint him.
As soon as she walked into the living room,
Lin Yao was stunned when she saw Lin Bing and Zhang Youjie.
She looked at the two people on the sofa with a little surprise on her fair face.
"Xiaoyao."
Lin Bing greeted her with a smile.
The surprise on Lin Yao's face slowly turned into surprise.
She looked like she had never expected her father to come back suddenly.
Lin Bing looked at his little daughter's textbook-like expression change and laughed heartily. Then he stood up and was about to go over to explain why he suddenly came back.
On the other side, Lin Yao also moved. She took a step forward and seemed to be ready to go over to her.
Lin Bing immediately quickened his pace.
But when the two were still some distance apart.
The scene of a loving father and a filial daughter was about to be staged.
Lin Yao suddenly turned a corner and ignored Lin Bing. She trotted to the kitchen and said in surprise: "Sister! What are you doing!! It smells delicious!"
"..."
Another version of a loving father and a filial daughter was staged...
The smile on Lin Bing's face froze and he froze in place.
Zhang Youjie couldn't hold it back any longer: "Hahahahahahahaha..."
In the kitchen, the two sisters' conversation could be heard.
Lin Bing stood there for a while, then suddenly turned his head, picked up a pillow and threw it at Zhang Youjie, and angrily asked: "What are you laughing at?"
"Happy."
Zhang Youjie dodged the pillow, flicked his clothes, and didn't mind.
Lin Bing sighed and stopped talking. Instead, he sat down again and drank his tea.
Until.
The footsteps sounded again.
Lin Yao walked out of the kitchen.
He barely adjusted his mentality, dispelled the unrealistic idea of hugging and crying, half stood up, and prepared to talk to his little daughter seriously.
But the next second.
His mentality, which he had finally adjusted, collapsed again.
"...Hey, why are you back?"
Lin Yao looked at Lin Bing with a look of surprise, holding the juice, and asked him a question.
The shock on her face was just right.
It made her look as if she had just seen Lin Bing.
"Hahahahaha!!!" Zhang Youjie directly sprayed out all the tea in his mouth.
"……"
...What a leaky, black-hearted little cotton jacket!
Lin Bing sat down again and drank his tea again. He gave up the idea of talking and just replied with a look of despair: "Dad escaped from prison."
"Really?" Lin Yao's surprised voice came.
"Really."
Lin Bing put down the teacup and looked up.
Then, he found Lin Yao standing beside him.
"...Here you are."
Lin Yao reached out and handed him another bottle of juice, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, congratulations on being released from prison... And don't do those fancy things, just come back, why surprise."
Lin Bing subconsciously took the juice she handed over.
"Come back today?" Lin Yao handed another bottle of juice to Zhang Youjie and asked at the same time.
"Yeah."
Lin Bing replied with a smile.
She suddenly felt that this was actually quite good...
Her little daughter was very cute and quite considerate...
Yeah.
Fathers usually have a very low bottom line when it comes to their daughters...
"Relax and take a few days off."
Lin Yao screwed on the cap of her bottle of juice, and then continued, "Remember to go back and see grandma... You didn't even tell grandma, did you? The old lady has a bad heart, don't give her any surprises."
Lin Bing shook his head, not averse to being lectured by his daughter: "No, I'll tell your grandma in advance when I go back."
"Okay, let's eat... Sister seems to have cooked, go and help."
Lin Yao put down the juice in her hand, and went back to the kitchen while calling sister.
They didn't chat for long.
Because Lin Yao was not the kind of person who liked to chat.
Lin Bing stood up, looked at his little daughter's back, and smiled gently.
Really, she has grown up...
"Let's go, go and help."
Lin Bing shook his head, and then kicked his childhood friend.
Zhang Youjie stood up with his hands on his knees: "I'm here."
That night.
The home that originally only had two sisters had a bit of a lively atmosphere.
...
Late at night.
Lin Bing and Zhang Youjie, the elderly couple, returned to their rooms early because of alcohol.
Upstairs,
Lin Yao and Lin Xi were also ready to sleep.
But Lin Yao... couldn't sleep, mainly because she was too stuffy.
"Sister, you can be happy, but can you not hug me like this? I can't breathe..."
Lin Yao came out of the warm magic cave, breathing fresh air, and said dissatisfiedly.
"What's happy?"
Lin Xi was unwilling to admit: "And it's very comfortable..."
"Of course it's comfortable for you to hug me, let's try it in a different way..."
Lin Yao said unhappily, and then blew hard forward.
Lin Xi immediately struggled, trembling, and said ticklishly: "Don't tease my sister."
Lin Yao bargained: "Then let me go."
"No."
Lin Xi smiled, not only did he not let go, but he hugged her tighter.
"..."
Lin Yao sighed helplessly.
Forget it.
Lin Xi is happy today.
She moved up, then pressed against Lin Xi's delicate collarbone, smelling the faint fragrance coming from her body, and closed her eyes.
"...Xiaoyao, you're so nice."
Although she had been hiding it during the day.
But in the middle of the night, when it was just the two sisters, Lin Xi still broke the spell and couldn't help but whispered.
"Isn't this happiness?"
Lin Yao smiled, gently rubbed Lin Xi's snow-white neck, and teased her with her eyes closed.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, but with a faint smile, she rubbed Lin Yao's hair in return.
That night, the two sisters slept in each other's arms.
They slept very well.
...
The next day.
Lin Bing still came to Linmu Studio.
But this time, it was not only Lin Xi who accompanied her, but also Lin Yao.
Compared with Youmei Technology and Linmu Financial Holdings.
Linmu Studio has a completely different appearance.
Lin Bing discovered this as soon as he entered Linmu Studio.
And his biggest feeling is... there are really many young people, and the atmosphere is really good.
Lin Yao greeted the staff all the way, and introduced Lin Bing who came with her to the interested staff.
When she returned to her office.
Lin Yao had no time to accompany Lin Bing.
She asked Lin Bing and Lin Xi to wait in her office, and then went out to find Miss Mu.
She still had things to do.
And it was more appropriate for Miss Mu to make the relevant introduction.
And Mu Wanqing... I don't know why, but she was quite panicked when she heard Lin Yao's request.
Although she didn't resist, she was obviously uneasy.
Even.
Mu Wanqing, who was very strict about her dress every day, tidied her clothes very seriously for a few minutes before entering Lin Yao's office, and then knocked on the door and went in.
Of course.
The tension didn't last long. After all,
Mu Wanqing had met Lin Xi, and Lin Bing was not a difficult person to talk to, especially those in his daughter's circle of friends. He was always very easy to talk to.
So soon.
Mu Wanqing regained her composure and began to introduce Lin Bing to the operation of Linmu Studio in the past two years.
Although Lin Bing didn't come to Linmu Studio yesterday, it didn't mean that he was not interested in Linmu Studio.
On the contrary.
He was very interested.
Because Linmu Studio was the most mysterious of the three companies.
In order to stabilize the free creative environment, Lin Yao had never allowed Linmu Studio to raise funds.
At the same time, she rarely disclosed relevant information.
Therefore, the operating data related to this company, outsiders can basically only guess.
Now.
With Mu Wanqing's explanation.
The mysterious veil of this company was officially unveiled...
and Lin Bing... listened in astonishment throughout the whole process.
If you say that Linmu Financial Holdings gave him the most stable and safest impression, because it was doing OEM.
Youmei Technology has the brightest future, because it makes technological products and rides on the future.
The impression that Linmu Studio gave him was... the super exaggerated profit and the terrifying virtual assets!
After taking a break last night.
He didn't say that he had done a lot of psychological preparation for this trip to Linmu Studio.
It can only be said that he had imagined it to the most exaggerated extent.
However,
he still underestimated his little daughter.
The revenue of Linmu Studio is more than that of Linmu Financial Holdings and Youmei Technology combined!
And it's not just a little bit more... but the monthly revenue is more than their combined, more than double!
"These are probably the main businesses..."
Mu Wanqing's introduction came to an end.
Then she was about to continue to introduce the current important projects and main departments of Linmu Studio.
This is also what Lin Yao asked.
But...
"Wait a minute, Miss Mu Wanqing."
Lin Xi suddenly interrupted her and motioned her to wait a moment.
Then she turned to look at her father: "Do you want to take a break first? But don't smoke here, go to the smoking room..."
Lin Bing looked back at his eldest daughter, but did not answer. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Your sister... is really making games?"
"Yes."
Lin Xi replied calmly: "What else can you do? Do you think the establishment of Youmei Technology and the transformation of Linmu Financial Holdings, the success of these two companies, rely on yourself? No, it's all because of this company.
The source of funds for Linmu Financial Holdings' acquisition of the foundry, and the early attention and development strategy of Youmei Technology all came from the company under your feet."
Lin Xi pointed to the ground, then moved his finger to Lin Yao's desk, and continued: "Or to be more precise, from here."
Lin Bing: "..."
"This company is the hub connecting the other two companies, and it is also the most dazzling existence."
"I'd better take a break..."
Lin Bing stood up directly, turned and walked towards the door.
Lin Xi looked at Lin Bing's back, thought for a moment, and added: "But there's not much for you to worry about in this company. It's likely that you will just let it go. You just need to get a rough idea of the situation and come back early."
"What can I worry about..."
Lin Bing didn't care much about it, but just retorted helplessly.
Lin Xi smiled and didn't say much.
...
On the other side.
Lin Yao had just returned from Kaishan Research Institute and was about to go to the PC department to find Zhong Xiu.
But when she passed the smoking room, she suddenly saw a familiar figure...
in the smoking room.
Lin Bing slumped in a chair, holding a cigarette between his fingers, but he never smoked. Instead, he looked at the ceiling of the smoking room with an expression of doubt about life.
... What happened?
Seeing this scene, Lin Yao tilted her head and slowly put a question mark.
Let me say first, water... Sorry, it would be better if I added the part about Zhong Xiu, but time is not enough, and it's too late to get off work.
I have tried hard to reduce the description of Lin Bing and Lin Yao's meeting, but the father and daughter didn't even say a word when they met, and the Spring and Autumn style of writing was straightforward. I always felt it was weird, so I added a simple daily plot as the final adjustment.
