Lin Lang wanted to explain.
Because when he saw Lin Shi sitting next to Old Man Lin, he keenly realized that something was wrong.
At the same time, he also suspected that this was a trap set for him by Lin Shi and Yan Xianjue.
But he quickly rejected this speculation.
He has asked a private detective to investigate the interactions between Lin Shi and Yan Xianjue.
No matter how you look at it, these two people have more grudges than anything else, and there's no possibility of them cooperating.
That could only be because Lin Shi’s hand was long enough.
This thought made him shudder, and he prepared to go back and investigate Lin Shi’s private power.
Also, he now began to suspect whether that idiot Lin Rui had left some secret treasure for Lin Shi.
His mind was racing, and the most urgent thing he had to do was to get away from the old man.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Lang decisively chose a half-truth story: "Dad, I went to Hong Kong City to discuss business, but I ran into Yan Xianjue at the club. He saw us at the gambling table and, out of curiosity, came over to play a few rounds..."
Old Master Lin half-closed his eyes, his hands clasped together on his cane, and asked, "What are you going to do with the 750 million?"
He didn't respond to Lin Lang's words, nor did he want to listen to his explanation. Lin Lang felt nervous when he came to this conclusion. This was not a good sign.
His knees involuntarily moved forward two steps, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Dad. I will find a way to solve this problem."
Mr. Lin made the final decision: "Then you should solve this matter and then return to the Lin Group."
Lin Lang exclaimed in disbelief: "Dad?"
Mr. Lin ignored his gaze and continued, "It just so happens that it's time for Lin Shi to start his internship at the company, so let him take over your job temporarily."
"I remember there's a vacancy for the company's vice president position, so let him fill it. After all, he's the eldest grandson in the family, so he shouldn't start from the middle level."
Lin Lang tried to stop him: "Dad, Lin Shi is only eighteen years old. He doesn't know anything yet."
"Why not let him go around the middle-level departments first and get familiar with the work processes of each department in the company."
He knew that the old man's decision to let Lin Shi join the company was irreversible, and he could only try his best to prevent Lin Shi from taking a high position as soon as he joined the company.
Why is there a vacancy in the position of vice president of Lin Group? It is because he was promoted to president after Lin Rui's death!
Why is it always empty? Aren’t you just trying to assign it to your confidant?
If I had known this earlier, I would have just squeezed someone in to take up the spot.
Lin Shi smacked his lips, propped up his chin and said, "You can't say that, uncle. I'm a very good learner."
"Also, I've learned a lot from being around grandpa during this time."
Old Master Lin nodded in agreement. No one had to worry about Lin Shi’s learning ability. He just wanted the Lin family to get better and better, not to send a useless person to bankrupt the Lin family.
He said to Lin Lang, who was kneeling on the ground, "This matter is settled. I will let Lao Wu and Lao Ba help him."
"As for you," Mr. Lin paused under Lin Lang's gaze, "wait until you have resolved this matter before returning to work at the company."
Lin Lang's heart grew even colder, as if he were wearing a leaky vest in Siberia.
Frost and snow fell on his heart.
How could he not see at this moment that the old man was simply taking advantage of the situation?
Even if there hadn't been this casino thing, there would have been something else.
In short, the old man is determined to get Lin Shi into the company to compete with him.
He looked at Lin Shi deeply. How much of a role did Lin Shi play in this?
He said, "Okay."
He lost this round. He underestimated his nephew who just graduated from high school. However, in the business world, this method alone is not enough.
Just when he thought the matter was over, Lin Shi suddenly spoke.
He held up the photo and said to Old Man Lin, "Grandpa, I heard that the news that my uncle lost 750 million to the youngest son of the Yan family has spread all over the circle."
"And because it happened in the Harbor City Club, this circle is not limited to Asami City."
Most of the guests at the club they visited were either rich or noble.
The figure of 750 million is enough to become a topic of conversation that will last for a long time.
Old Master Lin's expression turned even more grim. He glanced at Lin Lang lying on the ground and said, "Go to the Lin family's ancestors and clear your head."
"Think carefully about what the heir of the Lin family should and should not do."
Lin Lang clenched his fists and lowered his head to hide the resentment in his eyes: "Yes."
Lin Shi watched Lin Lang's back as he was escorted out the door by the housekeeper with a bright smile.
Then I heard Mr. Lin say, "I'm going along with your wishes this time, but you also have to know what you should do."
Lin Shi’s smile remained unchanged. He pointed to his temple and said, “Grandpa, I am a man with brains.”
He deliberately misinterpreted what Mr. Lin meant and said, "Don't worry, it's just a whetstone for my uncle. I'm very good at it."
Mr. Lin: “…”
But it is true that everyone in the Lin family is a whetstone for each other.
So he taught Lin Shi: "Although I let Lao Wu and Lao Ba assist you, you can't trust them completely. You must have your own judgment."
"The Lin family will eventually be handed over to you."
Lin Shi nodded indifferently. Anyone who believed his old man's words would be a fool.
He could guarantee that the old man had said this to so many people that he couldn't count on one hand.
He made an excuse: "It's almost time, I have to go to class."
Mr. Lin nodded in agreement.
After Lin Shi left, Mr. Lin picked up the photo that Lin Shi had casually thrown on the sofa.
The handwriting above is definitely Lin Lang's.
He waved his hand, and a person appeared from nowhere.
The man, dressed in black, bowed slightly and said, "Master."
Mr. Lin motioned for him to come forward and take the photo.
"Go find out where the photo came from and what exactly happened at the casino."
"Understood," the man in black replied, but he quickly added, "Do we need to investigate whether the other party is cheating?"
Old Master Lin chuckled and said nothing for a long time, his gaze slowly falling on the person in front of him.
"Decades ago, the Yan family experienced a severe economic crisis. It was truly an era of internal and external troubles, and the national situation was unstable."
"The young master of the Yan family went out to sea alone and single-handedly swindled all the cash reserves of Angel City, the world's largest casino at the time, while also making a clean getaway. Would you have discovered his grandson's cheating?"
The person in front of him realized that he had said something wrong and bent his back even deeper, but Mr. Lin no longer had the intention of reminiscing about the past.
He waved his hand, motioning him to go down and do the work.
