Lin Group Headquarters, Chairman's Office.
Lin Quan sat in the boss chair, pressing his brows tightly, looking very tired.
Boom boom boom!
"Chairman, this is the financial report for the third quarter." The secretary placed the report on the desk with a worried look on his face.
"Is there any progress on Yunhu Phase II? Are the results of the on-site survey out? If it's a construction quality issue with our company, have the supervisor appease the owner and provide targeted compensation."
"I'm still following up. We've already sent someone to address the owner's complaints about quality issues with our properties. Our public relations department is also working to minimize the negative impact of the negative news on the company."
"Do you think it's our problem?"
"Chairman, I believe in you." The secretary looked at him with admiration. She had been with Lin Quan for more than five years.
The new house I got married in is also in Yunhu Phase 1, Lin’s Real Estate’s flagship property in Jiangcheng.
"You go and do your work first." Lin Quan waved his hand, stood up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes slightly narrowed with waves of emotion in them.
In recent times, the Lin Group has encountered some problems.
With the new project expanding in the US, his eldest daughter Lin Hui and son-in-law Qiao Jingxuan flew over to oversee the project. He temporarily took over the domestic operations.
Lin Quan keenly realized that some unknown capital was sniping at the subsidiaries of the Lin Group in various industries.
Go out of your way to create friction and problems.
He was overwhelmed by the late August alone.
Due to multiple explosions, the stock price of Lin Group has been falling for a month, not only wiping out the profit margins raised by new overseas projects, but even falling by 3 points.
Several major shareholders began to complain, and kept asking Lin Quan to come up with a plan to rectify the situation.
He worked overtime at the company until eight o'clock before going home. He was in no mood, so he ate a few bites in a hurry and went back to his room to rest.
Yao Xin: "Hubby, Zizhen starts school in a week. He's never lived in a school before, and the dormitories at Peking University and Tsinghua University are just so-so, no matter how good they are. I want to buy a villa near the university and hire two nannies to take care of his daily life."
"Why can't he live there if other children can?" Lin Quan lowered his eyes and said lightly.
"Zizhen has been a well-behaved child since he was young. I'm worried that he'll be bullied if he lives with kids from ordinary families. How can Zizhen get used to living in a dormitory with several people in one room? Besides, can those kids be treated like my darlings?"
Yao Xin frowned, dissatisfied with her husband's perfunctory attitude towards her. She felt that he didn't love Zizhen as much as before, and she didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Zizhen scored 719 in the college entrance exam, which is one of the highest scores in this wealthy area. To bring honor to our Lin family, it's only right that he lives in a nice house while in college. If you don't buy it for him, I will."
"Bring honor to the family?" Lin Quan pondered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Their biological son is the one who truly brings honor to the Lin family.
"Gu An got the top score in the province."
"Don't mention him to me. That day he actually forced Zizhen to bark like a dog in front of outsiders. I haven't even settled the score with him for forcing Zizhen to have a seizure and be hospitalized!" When Yao Xin mentioned Gu An, her eyes were filled with anger. She didn't like this son at all.
"Hubby, Zizhen is going to college next week. Do you think we should give him the 15% stake before he leaves for Beijing? It will be passed on to our son sooner or later anyway, so consider it a reward for bringing honor to us!"
Lin Quan glanced at his wife with his deep eyes and remained silent.
"There's also a villa in the countryside. No one will know about the old man's will unless we take it out. We can just give it to Zizhen. When he graduates from university, he can help manage the company, and you won't have to work so hard."
"When the old man was alive, he left the shares and the villa to Gu An in his will. You don't think that if we hide it or destroy it, the will will be invalid, right?"
Lin Quan showed a hint of sarcasm on his face. His wife rarely cared about the affairs of the family and the company. The only person she cared about was her beloved son Lin Zizhen.
I was the same before, doting on Lin Zizhen in every way, and it became even worse after I found Gu An.
stupid!
"Zizhen told you?" Lin Quan raised his eyes calmly. He stood up, opened the safe, and took out the share transfer agreement and will.
"The child didn't mention it much. He just wanted to help you and Huihui share the burden. As a mother, I will definitely support his intention." Yao Xin took the document, looked through it, closed it and threw it aside.
"Husband, do you think it's possible to let Gu An accept the will first, and then transfer it to Zi Zhen? As long as he is willing to help, I can forgive him and give him some compensation."
"Aren't you afraid that Gu An will sign the agreement and regret it after it comes into effect?"
"This won't work, and that won't work. The old man is just confused! He doesn't distinguish between relatives and strangers! I don't care, the shares must be given to my good son Zizhen!"
Lin Quan locked the will back into the safe, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the equity transfer agreement and handed it to his wife.
"If you're worried, take this transfer agreement. The company has been busy lately, and I need to focus on it, so I might not have time. You can handle Zizhen's schooling."
"Give it to me?" Yao Xin was greatly surprised. She took the agreement and put it in her bag. "What about the will?"
"There is more than one copy of the will. Let's lock this one first. It's useless for you to take it." Lin Quan curled his lips, then crawled into bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
The next day, the housekeeper Lao Zhang unpacked two large boxes of express mail shipped from France. The dozens of clothes in these boxes were all summer haute couture clothes that Yao Xin had given to Lin Zizhen to wear to college.
"My dear son, come and see if you like it."
"I like it. Mom loves me the most." Lin Zizhen threw himself into Yao Xin's arms. With a height of 1.75 meters, he pretended to be a primary school student acting coquettishly.
"Mom, I'm going to Beijing to study in a few days. I really miss you."
"Mom can't bear to leave my dear baby. I bought a villa near Peking University and Tsinghua University and hired a nanny to take care of your life. You can live there and study with peace of mind."
"Does Dad agree with that?" Lin Zizhen was already anxious and dissatisfied as Lin Quan had not transferred the shares to him yet with less than a week left before school started.
Yao Xin took out the equity transfer agreement from her bag and waved it in front of him: "Your father finally agreed to give this agreement to me for safekeeping. It's useless for Mom to keep it, so you take it, son. As long as Gu An doesn't sign it, he will never have a chance. The shares will only be yours."
"Thanks, Mom. What about Grandpa's will?"
"It's still in your father's safe. Many companies under the group have had some minor problems recently and he's too busy to have time. But it will definitely be left to you. Don't worry, Gu An, it won't be cheap. Come, let's try on the clothes first."
"I believe my mother." Lin Zizhen clenched the agreement and glanced at it coldly several times.
He still felt uneasy but it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, so he tried on the clothes first.
Gu An, huh~!
So what if I got first place in the exam? Mom still only has eyes for me, Lin Zizhen!
This home will only belong to me!
