Chapter 429: All Schemes

Hearing Xie Minglang's answer, Lin Xiangnan's expression looked a little strange.

"What's with that expression on your face? There's really no one else but you that I donated to. In the entire capital, you're the one that suits my taste the most. You're the most special one..." Xie Minglang explained sincerely.

He would defend their revolutionary friendship to the death.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. I understand." Lin Xiangnan quickly interrupted his spell.

As expected of someone who comes from a wealthy family, he really has that domineering aura!

He looks like a playboy. Every time I see him, he is either wearing a suit or a coat. His clothes are well-tailored, his hair is neatly combed, and he looks very classy.

At the factory construction site, Xie Minglang can wear a safety helmet and work shoes and personally supervise the construction.

In front of Lin Xiangnan, his posture was much more elegant. Even when he poured tea for Lin Xiangnan, his movements were calm and relaxed, with a sense of being in charge of a strategy.

He handed the tea to Lin Xiangnan and asked in a gentle voice, "Did someone cause you trouble because of the laboratory building and equipment? Are you in a bad mood?"

"No, no. I'm in a good mood."

Lin Xiangnan quickly came back to his senses, and drove away all the plots related to the domineering president's robbery, physical and mental abuse in his mind, and his expression turned serious in an instant.

"Don't underestimate me. If I can't even protect my own things, what's the point of me hanging around? I should pack up and retire."

"This is a society where favors are the norm. I'm afraid you can't save your face." Xie Minglang said this and took a sip of tea with melancholy.

"Even if we have to fight for favors and face, my teacher and I are not pushovers." Lin Xiangnan looked at Xie Minglang's face and asked curiously, "What's wrong? You look like something's wrong?"

"There is a kind of building material that doesn't meet our requirements, but the construction workers still used it because they couldn't resist the request and couldn't save face." Xie Minglang's smile suddenly became tired, "If I don't lose my temper and ask them to tear it down, they won't change it. The workers here are really stubborn."

Xie Minglang and his team wanted a high-end production workshop. The standards were set, but some people still dared to mess around. It seemed that in the eyes of some people, being shorter, a little shorter, or using inferior materials were nothing... If Xie Minglang and his team were not firm in their attitude, they would be easily manipulated.

As long as it is a job that involves dealing with people, there is no easy job.

After taking over the company's affairs, Xie Minglang looked visibly older.

"In mainland China, I can't even go shopping to relieve stress. There's nothing I want to buy, and I can't spend my money."

"There is such a thing!" Lin Xiangnan was shocked. "You must have found the wrong place. I am familiar with spending money. I will take you there later."

"Don't think about me. I won't make a personal donation to you!" What belongs to the family belongs to the family, and what belongs to you belongs to you. Xie Minglang keeps a clear mind when spending his own money.

"You are quite defensive." Lin Xiangnan was speechless. "Forget it. Anyway, I don't have time to spend money recently. I'm busy. Remember to come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new laboratory building in two days."

"Of course I'll come. After investing the money, I have to give my family some feedback." Xie Minglang said very skillfully.

This attitude made Lin Xiangnan wonder whether Xie Minglang had made more money from the donation.

The design of the school's laboratory building was obviously very expensive. When Xie Minglang showed his family the photos of the finished product, he would definitely exaggerate the investment.

It was just a convenient thing to do, and no one was watching on the mainland, so even if Xie Minglang made some money, no one would notice, so he did it without restraint.

If there are many children in the family and they spread out, it is easy for their hearts to become unfocused.

Seeing Xie Minglang's betrayal, Lin Xiangnan went home and sighed, "The family planning policy is still good."

There are only two children in her family, a boy and a girl, born together. They have a close relationship, like one family, and don’t have any ulterior motives.

Because Lin Xiangnan had a very thick filter for his own child and was praising him to the sky, Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but refute.

"Who said they were innocent? They even teamed up to play tricks on me."

"I didn't notice it." Lin Xiangnan shook his head.

Gu Zhenhua had no choice but to break up the conversation and said, "Didn't you notice that Dabao and Xiaobao always ask you to buy whatever they want? They never bother me and mom."

He and Hu Meili both have simple living habits and do not spoil their children. They will ruthlessly reject any unreasonable requests from Dabao and Xiaobao.

As for Lin Xiangnan, she is rich and generous. She gives her child whatever he wants. In her opinion, it is not a big deal.

She herself spends hundreds or thousands of dollars a day, but her child only buys things worth a few cents, not even a fraction. It would be too unreasonable to refuse.

Lin Xiangnan explained on behalf of the children as a matter of course, "Dabao and Xiaobao didn't spend my money. They spent their own rent."

Ignoring the fact that the house was bought by Lin Xiangnan for them, what Lin Xiangnan said was the truth.

"As long as you like." Gu Zhenhua smiled. Anyway, he already had an idea in his mind. If the child grew up and was spoiled, he would send him to the army and train him for two years, and any bad habits would be cured.

Lin Xiangnan was too familiar with his expression and warned him, "Don't have any bad ideas! The two children are so well-behaved, I can't stand it anymore, and you actually still criticize them."

This semester, I don’t know what’s wrong with the two children. The knowledge taught by the teacher in class is not enough for them. They will bring books from the study to school to read during the day, and come home after class, they will also stay in the study to study.

The questions that people ask Lin Xiangnan recently are all about pressure sensors, gravity sensors... He has become obsessed with making small handicrafts.

At her age, how could she focus on studying? She felt like there were needles everywhere at home, and she couldn't stay at all. She just played after school. This is how Lin Xiangnan saw his childhood.

If Lin Xiangnan wasn't afraid of affecting the children's concentration, he would have sent them out to play.

Starting to roll at a young age is definitely not in line with Lin Xiangnan's educational concept. The assets she will leave to her children in the future will definitely be enough for them to live comfortably, so there is no need to put so much pressure on them.

"I've been busy lately, so it's ok to work overtime occasionally. When I get home, I can still see my two children studying overtime." Lin Xiangnan said angrily: "Do you know how big a blow this is to someone who yearns for freedom!"

"Seven years old is the right age to explore. What else can they do if not study?" Gu Zhenhua is very satisfied with his child's recent learning status.

"Of course I'm having fun." Lin Xiangnan cursed, "What's the point of being adventurous at this age? You are the one who should be adventurous."

Lin Xiangnan’s main theme is doting, not on the child, but on the child’s father. As long as the child’s father is awesome enough, the child won’t have to worry about it.

Her ideal life is very standard, go out to eat, drink and have fun, and go home to lie down. She not only wants to live this happy life herself, but also wants her two children to live this happy life.

Not only did Dabao and Xiaobao not appreciate it, but Gu Zhenhua seemed to be also irritated.

There is one more person studying in the evening, Gu Zhenhua.

"You are all busy, I can't fall behind." Gu Zhenhua held a book and insisted on joining in the fun. Even though he was not busy recently and had no study tasks, he took the initiative to take a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War and studied it there.

Looking at the family of four sitting neatly at the desk, each of them has a book in front of them, and they look like they are studying seriously.

Lin Xiangnan didn't feel relieved, instead he felt like he was about to break.

"Let's go for a picnic in the suburbs as a family of four on Sunday," Lin Xiangnan suggested.

No matter how busy she is, she will always make time to teach her children to enjoy life.

But Dabao and Xiaobao have their own rhythm.

"No, Mom. We have made an appointment with Maomao and the others to go to school on Sunday to do a rocket launch experiment. It is to replicate the theory you told us last time, and we have been preparing for it for a long time." Dabao refused directly.

Lin Xiangnan was unwilling to give up. "Can't you spare half a day?"

"I can't spare the time. We're busy." Xiaobao answered without taking his eyes off his notebook.

They are the planners and leaders of this operation. If they are not here, the team will be disbanded.

For the harmony of the whole team, Dabao and Xiaobao never thought of backing down, and even set their sights on Lin Xiangnan. The teachers in the school were not very capable, and their attitude was serious and responsible, but they could not answer too many questions. If there was anything, Lin Xiangnan was still reliable. Whether it was theory or practice, Lin Xiangnan's level was excellent.

Xiaobao blinked his eyes and said, "Mom, if you have nothing to do on Sunday, come and play at school with us."

Lin Xiangnan knew the data of real fighter jets and real rockets, so he could easily control the small model.

Dabao also looked at Lin Xiangnan expectantly, "Mom?"

"Ahem~ Well, Mom is actually quite busy on Sundays. She has something to do." Lin Xiangnan declined politely.

Who wants to play with a bunch of kids at school? If these two kids weren't his own, Lin Xiangnan wouldn't be willing to play with them.

Playing with a bunch of naughty kids for a whole day would drive you crazy.

"How about Daddy go with you?" Gu Zhenhua volunteered. He was not afraid of naughty children, as he had plenty of strength and means to deal with them.

Dabao and Xiaobao shook their heads at the same time and refused, "No. They are all afraid of you. Everyone will feel uncomfortable if you go."

Lin Xiangnan almost laughed out loud and said, "Since you don't want dad to accompany you, then you two can go and have fun on your own this Sunday."

In order to prove that he was not talking nonsense and was really busy, Lin Xiangnan did not feel comfortable staying at home for long on Sunday. He dragged Gu Zhenhua out early in the morning to go to the school laboratory building to check and fill in the gaps.

The school leaders have a strong sense of ceremony. Before cutting the ribbon, they have to check the laboratory building in advance, fearing that there will be any mistakes on the day of the ribbon-cutting. Taking photos and conducting small interviews on the day of the ribbon-cutting are also routine operations.

Give investors a little more face, praise them highly, make them happy, and they will invest again next time.

Not to mention the older generation, young people also have a strong sense of ritual. When packing up the laboratory instruments and materials and preparing to move things, not only did they find a few almanacs in the cabinet, but there were also two talisman papers and a wooden fish next to the equipment.

"Whose? Hide it quickly. Otherwise, someone will see it when we move things later." Lin Xiangnan reminded, "We are doing scientific research!"

Several junior brothers and sisters took their things away with a smile and put them in their bags, leaving only the almanac untouched.

"Whose almanac is this? Is it from last year? Take it away quickly." Lin Xiangnan urged.

"If it's not me, I'm just a wooden fish." Su Wangwang said honestly.

"It's not me either."

"Not even mine."

Lin Xiangnan looked around and saw that everyone had innocent looks. Suddenly he realized that it seemed that she had brought the almanac.

"Ha~ I forgot, this is what I brought last year."

Lin Xiangnan's expression was not embarrassed at all. He reached out and stuffed the almanac into his bag, then reminded, "Look again to see if there is anything else that cannot be seen by others. Hide them all before moving."

Lin Xiangnan knows what the inside is like, what is important is the face of the project.

She built a laboratory building, which made a lot of noise and many colleagues were watching it. She couldn't let others laugh at her.

The teachers at the school had already been quite dissatisfied with Lin Xiangnan’s new laboratory building, and when they came to visit on the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, their resentment was clearly evident.

The three-story laboratory building stands there squarely, with white tiles on the walls. At first glance, it reminds people of calmness, rationality and rigor.

Not only are the equipment in the laboratory building imported, but even the office desks and chairs, laboratory workbenches, and archive room desks and chairs were donated by Xie Minglang.

Except for the empty living and resting areas which Lin Xiangnan needs to clean up by himself, other places have a strong scientific research style and a ruthless feel, which is very technological.

In order to prevent strange things from being mixed into the laboratory building and lowering the grade of the entire building, Xie Minglang purchased all the items at once.

The old buildings in the school are nothing compared to this laboratory building. Some of the buildings have peeling walls and the windows can't be closed tightly...

Not to mention the teachers at our school, even Lin Xiangdong, who came to watch the fun, couldn't help but envy, "This is better than the labs I stayed in abroad."

Xie Minglang was proud, "The designer I found designed it according to the foreign laboratories. But in terms of details, it is not very well done, and there is still room for improvement."

"Just take it as an experience." Lin Xiangnan said.

The laboratory building we are visiting now belongs to the school. There is another laboratory building outside, which is used for private purposes. Because it was demolished and rebuilt, the workload is large and it has not been completed yet. But Huang Xiaogang came back from Hong Kong recently. He is in charge of this matter, so Lin Xiangnan was relieved.

Xie Minglang and Lin Xiangnan looked at each other and said, "You are right. We will learn from our experience and build a better building next time."

There will be a next time? Upon hearing this, the school leaders' eyes almost lit up like light bulbs.

This is Lin Xiangnan's home turf, and no one dares to steal his girlfriend in front of Lin Xiangnan, but everyone looks at Xie Minglang with unusual eyes.

I didn't care about the photographers from the school newspaper or outside newspapers' expressions and just kept taking pictures.

When I took the last look at the photos, I saw that the eyes of a group of school leaders were like wolves, which made people feel uneasy.

The key point is that Lin Xiangnan and Xie Minglang's eyes are also bright. At a glance, there is a row of bright eyeballs in the photo.

When Lin Xiangnan saw the photos published in the newspaper, he couldn't help but laugh.

"These are not eyeballs. They are all heart eyes."
