In Lin Yaodong's incredibly luxurious villa, a delicate coffee table sits in the center of the spacious and bright living room.
At this moment, Lin Yaodong was standing in front of the coffee table, elegantly holding the teapot and slowly pouring the boiling tea into the teacup.
His back view was broad and steady, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.
Meanwhile, at the computer desk not far away, Gu Nan was intently staring at the screen, his hands constantly typing on the keyboard, busy as a bee.
Just then, Lin Yaodong, who had his back to him, suddenly spoke up, his tone quite casual: "Xiao Nan, how's the stock situation?"
As he spoke, the motion of pouring tea in his hand remained fluid and uninterrupted, as if everything in the world was under his control.
Not long after, Gu Nan's slightly excited voice came from behind Lin Yaodong: "It's stable, it's stable, it's hit the daily limit down! And it dropped a full twenty points at once!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaodong nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Although the Lin family's business empire is so vast, and because of its close cooperative relationship with the government, the impact of mere stock fluctuations is indeed relatively limited, unlike in the United States, where a stock market crash would pose a life-or-death crisis for the company.
However, if this downward trend continues, the Lin family's development will inevitably be severely hampered, and it will gradually decline.
This situation is clearly not a good thing for either Lin Yaodong personally or for the entire Lin Jianguo family.
But at this critical moment when the relationship had completely broken down and the facade had been ruthlessly torn apart, the septuagenarian Lin Yaodong knew perfectly well that he had nothing left to lose.
There are only two paths before us: either watch Lin Jianguo and his family perish, or fight them to the death and perish together!
Thinking of this, a chillingly fierce glint flashed in Lin Yaodong's eyes.
Indeed, just as Mu Liuyun said, Lin Yaodong was nothing more than a mediocre street thug who was unlikely to amount to anything, or even a despicable old thief with a full beard.
But so what? Even such a down-on-his-luck old thief, on his deathbed, can still bite back hard on his enemies!
Awooo!
snort!
Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to Gu Nan and unconsciously smacked his lips a few times.
Admittedly, when Gu Nan wore that maid outfit, he felt a surge of intense, almost uncontrollable heat within him.
To be fair, if we had to compare Gu Nan and Mu Liuyun, even though Mu Liuyun is beautiful, she looks a bit immature and inexperienced, while Gu Nan, after being carefully dressed up, exudes a more youthful aura.
Therefore, Gu Nan is clearly more suitable for the maid outfit.
Of course, this is just Lin Yaodong's personal aesthetic.
After all, Mu Liuyun couldn't possibly wear a maid outfit for him. In terms of status, if Lin Yaodong didn't "rebel," he might actually have to wear a maid outfit for Mu Liuyun.
The reason why Lin Yaodong kept insisting that Gu Nan wear a maid outfit was not because Lin Yaodong had suddenly awakened the so-called "Nantong" attribute.
However, Lin Yaodong has now lost his former full function, and for him now, whether the maid is male or female is no longer so important.
As long as it's pleasing to the eye, that's enough!
However, the only problem that troubled him was that Gu Nan's voice still clearly revealed masculine characteristics. What could he do? How could he possibly change it?
Just then, Gu Nan, who was sitting at his computer desk, suddenly shivered without warning. He then quickly turned his head and looked in the direction where Lin Yaodong was.
For some reason, an inexplicable intuition told him that just a moment ago, Lin Yaodong seemed to be pondering some extremely evil and despicable thoughts.
"No wonder he's known as Uncle Dong! Even when he's just drinking a cup of tea, he can be thinking about how to put someone in a hopeless situation."
Gu Nan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
...
At the same moment, in the Lin family ancestral home, those members who held some but not much influence within the family gathered together. They surrounded Lin Yaozu, discussing the current situation animatedly. Their eyes were fixed on the continuously plummeting stock chart, their faces filled with worry, and they muttered their own grievances.
"Uncle Yaozu, something seems wrong here!" one of them broke the silence and said anxiously.
Another person chimed in, "That's right! The stock has been hitting its daily limit down, and my assets are shrinking like water being pumped away!" His voice trembled noticeably with fear.
Another person lamented, "I was planning to buy a house for the female college student I'm keeping, but now I can't even get a loan!"
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, looking worried and distressed.
Seeing everyone's emotions growing increasingly agitated, Lin Yaozu, though equally uneasy and uncertain, forced himself to remain calm as one of the more senior and prestigious individuals present. He reassured everyone in a heartfelt tone, saying, "Please don't panic! We must trust Uncle Dong! As long as we wait patiently, what do these small losses matter once we regain control of the Lin Group?"
However, his words did not completely quell the anxiety in everyone's hearts. Someone immediately retorted: "But if things continue to develop like this, even if we are able to regain control of the Lin family in the future, the Lin family will probably be a half-dead mess by then!"
The others nodded in agreement, complaining, "Yeah, yeah, back in the day we could at least get some decent dividends, but if this continues, we won't get a single penny!"
Sighs and complaints filled the air, creating a heavy and oppressive atmosphere throughout the ancestral home.
"Everyone, please calm down! We must trust Uncle Dong. Over the years, Uncle Dong has weathered countless storms, but he has always managed to turn danger into safety and lead our Lin family step by step to where we are today. I firmly believe that this time will be no exception! As long as we unite as one and follow Uncle Dong's lead, we will surely be able to make the Lin family great again!"
Of course, even he himself found it hard to believe as soon as he said it.
After all, he knew the truth of the matter very well, but in order to calm the excited and agitated crowd in front of him, he had to repeatedly bring up the resounding name of Lin Yaodong.
Once Lin Yaodong is mentioned again, the previously noisy and chaotic scene quickly quiets down. The crowd stops arguing and fighting, and instead watches him quietly.
As the situation gradually came under control and everyone calmed down, Lin Yaozu finally felt a little relieved. However, at the same time, he was secretly making calculations in his mind and began to carefully consider matters concerning his own interests. To him, neither Lin Yaodong nor the entire Lin family mattered most.
The real key question is, how much of the money actually ends up in his own pocket?
Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Yaozu believed that he had to come up with a foolproof plan, a brilliant way to ensure that he would always be invincible.
Perhaps transferring all of her company shares would be a wise move...
