Lin Hongmei stared calmly at the news page in front of her, her face showing little emotion. However, she turned her head slightly, her eyes quickly sweeping over Lin Jianglu behind her, and then said in a tone with a hint of the family head's authority, "Fourth sister, you take Lulu back to her room first."
Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to possess an invisible power that was irresistible.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Lin Jianglu immediately understood that there must be something important to discuss.
Without the slightest hesitation, she nodded gently, then reached out and tenderly took Lulu's delicate little hand, slowly walking towards Lulu's room.
Actually, it wasn't that the family intentionally ostracized Lin Jianglu and temporarily stopped her, or that they didn't want her to know about these things.
It's because, within this family, only Lin Jianglu and Lin Shilan have jobs unrelated to the family and rarely participate in family affairs.
Those complicated and scheming power struggles are too far removed from them. Rather than letting them worry about them, it's better to keep them away for the time being and maintain a rare sense of innocence and tranquility.
Just then, Lin Yurou, who had been silently observing from the side, suddenly leaned closer to the computer screen. When she saw the news content displayed on it, her face instantly turned gloomy, and her originally clear eyes blazed with fury.
She clenched her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I saw this news this afternoon. There's no doubt that this is a trick by that despicable Lin Yaodong!"
As she said this, Lin Yurou unconsciously clenched her fists, and her knuckles turned pale from the excessive force.
Then, she continued indignantly, "The reason we've been living abroad all these years is all thanks to this old man! Even Fifth Sister almost went deaf because of him! We can't just let this go!"
Before she finished speaking, the hatred in Lin Yurou's eyes intensified, as if she wanted to devour the unseen Lin Yaodong alive on the spot.
The moment the name "Lin Yaodong" reached Lin Xuelan's ears, her ever-present smile vanished as if a sudden gust of cold wind had swept over her, causing a startling change.
A dangerous glint flashed in those beautiful, captivating eyes, as if a raging fire was brewing within them.
For a moment, the entire room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to break the silence.
Just then, Lin Fangyi turned her gaze to Lin Hongmei, who was sitting to the side, and asked softly, "Big sister, what exactly did Dad say about this matter?"
Lin Hongmei slowly shook her head, a worried look on her face: "I already called my parents, but no one answered. Maybe they're busy with other important matters right now... But in my opinion, this news can't possibly be true!"
It's important to know that "Made in China" products are now ubiquitous in the United States, and have become deeply ingrained in the lives of American citizens.
In particular, figures like Lin Jianguo and the Lin family businesses he controls have a crucial influence on the United States.
If the relationship with Lin Jianguo really falls apart completely, then in the short term, the citizens of the United States may face serious problems even in the supply of the most basic daily necessities.
Some might say that America has so many factories, and if they want to, they can quickly adjust their production lines to produce the items they need, so how could they be held hostage by others?
However, the reality is not so simple.
Just like a factory that specializes in producing ballpoint pen tips, even if it tries its best to adjust its production line, it is absolutely impossible to switch to producing a completely different type of product like toothpaste in a short period of time.
Therefore, even though she couldn't contact Lin Jianguo right now, Lin Hongmei didn't believe the news was even remotely true.
However, as the current acting head of the Lin family, she knew that this matter was of utmost importance and had to be treated with utmost care and seriousness.
Then, she turned her gaze to Chu Yaqin and asked slowly, "Sister-in-law, how exactly do you plan to deal with this matter?" Hearing the address "sister-in-law," Chu Yaqin couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Wow, she truly has the air of a big sister!
Such a shrewd person truly understands my heart!
Although she was overjoyed inside, she didn't show it on the surface. She simply gave a standard businesswoman's professional smile and replied calmly, "Regarding this matter, my Chu family and I will definitely stand firmly with Xiaoyun."
In fact, she had already discussed the relevant matters in detail with Chu Tianxing before this.
Whether from a professional or personal perspective, choosing to work hand in hand with Lin Hongmei is definitely a wise move with only benefits and no drawbacks!
It should be noted that Lin Yaodong is now old and frail, not only is his thinking rigid and unable to keep up with the pace of the times, but he is also powerless to create any substantial value anymore.
For many years, the Lin family's situation has been similar to that of the Shen family, which relied almost entirely on Shen Lanxin to support the entire family through hardship. On the Lin family side, it was basically Lin Jianguo's family who supported a large group of useless people, including Lin Yaodong.
However, these treacherous and ungrateful individuals still fantasize about being able to play both sides like a weather vane, believing themselves to be extremely smooth in their dealings with others and able to easily navigate between Lin Jianguo and Lin Yaodong.
That's utterly delusional!
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, we must thoroughly eliminate these bad apples and not let them continue to hold the Lin family back.
After just a few words, the people present quickly clarified their respective positions.
As for how to deal with that troublesome Lin Yaodong, the method is actually not complicated.
It all boils down to one word—money!
Given Lin Yaodong's current strength, there's probably nothing he can't solve if he just throws out a lot of money.
Just when everyone thought that the "serious business" had been discussed to the last minute, Lin Yurou, who had been sitting quietly to the side, suddenly stood up.
She nimbly walked to Chu Yaqin's side and then unceremoniously plopped down on her seat.
Immediately afterwards, she reached out and tightly hugged Chu Yaqin's slender neck. At the same time, the veins on her forehead bulged with anger, making her look quite frightening.
"Have we finished discussing the 'serious business'?"
Lin Yurou stared intently at Chu Yaqin, gritting her teeth as she questioned, "So, shouldn't we also have a proper chat about what exactly you and my brother did in my room just now? Hmm? My dear best friend!"
Despite Lin Yurou's aggressive questioning, Chu Yaqin remained remarkably calm and composed.
She slightly raised her chin, meeting Lin Yurou's angry gaze without flinching, a faint smile even playing on her lips, and slowly said, "Oh? We just did some things that women do, so what?"
Neither humble nor arrogant, she is true to her nature as a woman.
