Old Master Lin looked at Lin Lang disappointedly, sighed, shook his head and said nothing.
He turned his head and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. The butler came forward to help him smooth his back.
Lin Lang moved his feet, but ultimately did not take a step.
Old Master Lin looked at him calmly, without scolding or saying anything. He just asked him to go to the ancestors and clear his mind first.
But he only needed to use an indifferent look to arouse all the resentment in Lin Lang's heart.
But at this moment, Lin Lang had to swallow the anger in his heart.
"Dad." He whispered.
Old Master Lin raised his hand to stop him: "Don't make any more excuses."
His words directly defined Lin Lang's character.
"According to the rules of the Lin family, you know what to do."
Lin Lang whispered, "I'll use my personal assets to offset this loss."
Mr. Lin nodded and said, "From now on, you will only receive the minimum living allowance."
Lin Lang paused for a moment, and Old Man Lin didn't rush him. Only after Lin Lang nodded silently did Old Man Lin continue, "I'll arrange a meeting with the bank. I hope my reputation will still be useful."
Lin Lang lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Dad."
Old Master Lin would not forget what Lin Lang had done in the past few years as recorded in the document given to him by the Lin family just because of his current weakness.
If he is given another two or three years, will he just empty out the Lin family and turn it into Lin Lang's personal property?
Of course, Old Master Lin could see how much personal malice Lin Shi harbored towards Lin Lang when he handed the document to him.
But so what? Lin Lang was the one who was caught in the act.
Mr. Lin has never been the judge of fairness.
Before Lin Lang left, Old Master Lin slowly reminded him, "The Lin family's survival rule has always been the law of the jungle."
"I taught you when you were very young that you can do things that benefit yourself, but you have to do it beautifully so that no one can say anything."
"You've been doing well before, but look at what you've been doing in the past year."
"Has the loss of Lin Rui, this obstacle in your way, also caused you to lose your own vigilance?"
Lin Lang lowered his head and pretended to listen attentively.
Old Master Lin gently patted the chair under his butt.
"The Lin family's annual routine assessment is not to make things difficult for you, but to maintain your enterprising spirit."
Lin Lang whispered, "I know. Dad said that if I lose the battle for the head of the family, he will sit and I will stand. He eats while I watch."
This was taught to him word by word by Grandpa Lin himself, and the "he" in the words referred to Lin Rui.
Mr. Lin nodded: "It seems you still remember."
"In the past, you were completely suppressed by Lin Rui, and now you want to give his son the opportunity to take the position and continue to suppress you?"
"Are you losing your way just because of that little bit of profit in front of you?"
At this point, his voice finally softened a bit: "This incident is also a good thing. Although your personal assets have been confiscated by your family, you should also learn some lessons from it."
"The responsibility of a family head is to contribute to the family and seek benefits, not for yourself."
I don’t know whether Lin Lang agreed with what he said in his heart, but he nodded sincerely on the surface.
Mr. Lin felt that he was about to give up coughing again, so he waved him away and said, "I won't punish you any more for this matter. Think about it carefully."
The moment Lin Lang closed the door, Old Man Lin immediately burst into a series of uncontrollable coughs.
The housekeeper advised: "Master, the doctor recommends that you should not overwork yourself."
Old Master Lin waved his hand and pushed him away a little: "There are so many troublesome people at home, what can I do?"
"We can't let the Lin family become like the Ji family, who only follow the Yan family's orders."
"Then I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die."
The housekeeper said, "Why not ask a few bank presidents to come to the Lin family for a gathering? You haven't been in good health recently, and everyone should understand."
Mr. Lin shook his head: "If they really gave me face, why would they directly issue a written notice?"
The housekeeper was stunned: "So what do you mean?"
Mr. Lin said calmly: "It's nothing more than taking sides."
"They chose the Yan family between the Lin family and the Yan family."
The butler kept silent and didn't respond. This was not a topic he could interrupt.
Old Master Lin sighed: "Lin Shi is more suitable for the Lin family than Lin Lang."
"Ruthless and strong in action."
"But he does what he wants and doesn't care about fame or fortune."
"Nothing else can hinder Lin Shi, and the Lin family can't restrain him. For a family, it's unacceptable to choose a head who has no scruples."
"Lin Lang has selfish motives, but there are also benefits to being selfish."
“It just needs a little knocking every now and then.”
"As for Lin Shi, he is more suitable to be a whetstone."
"Moreover," Old Master Lin's voice suddenly turned gloomy, "it seems that my grandson has a very good relationship with the Yan family."
The housekeeper paused as he stirred the medicine, but quickly regained composure. He handed the medicine to Old Man Lin and said, "The temperature is just right. The doctor said we need another checkup this afternoon."
Old Master Lin drank the bitter medicine in the cup and put it aside. "It's because Lin Rui was too harsh on him before, so he couldn't tell who to be close to."
"Come with me tomorrow. Lin's shares cannot be auctioned off by the bank."
This will make shareholders completely lose their trust in Lin.
The Lin family owns 57% of Lin's shares and has absolute control over Lin.
Other shareholders might be able to sell their shares and run away, but the Lin family can't.
The last thing you need in the business world is hyenas waiting to eat carrion.
If the Lin family shows even the slightest sign of decline, they will be targeted by them.
Just like they targeted the Yan family who had lost their heir.
Although he has not yet obtained any substantial evidence, he can't think of any other family other than the Yan family that could cause such a big commotion this time.
Old Master Lin held the housekeeper's hand and stood up to rest. There was another tough battle waiting for him tomorrow.
Yan Xianjue thought so too.
