Lin An opened his phone. In the photo, Lin Haoran and Lin Zhe were standing by Yang Li's hospital bed. Both the father and son had pale faces and looked disgusted. It was impossible to tell that there was anything unusual about the relationship between the three of them.
Lin An exited the chat interface and said to Xu Mo:
"The next period is a critical time for the company's development, and we need to devote more energy to it."
Xu Mo also expressed his agreement:
"Yes, I also contacted that Barbie-chan you mentioned last time, but she wasn't very interested. She wants to open her own studio."
Lin An said calmly, "It's okay. It shows that she is an ambitious person. Talk to her that we are willing to invest in her studio and become her investors."
Xu Mo nodded.
......
Inside the Lin family villa, the family is having dinner.
Butler Li followed the cleaning lady into Lin Zhe's room.
The nanny mistakenly thought that the housekeeper was going to check the quality of her work, so she squatted on the ground and scrubbed the toilet frantically.
Butler Li casually picked up Lin Zhe's toothbrush and replaced it with a new one.
At his age, Butler Li had witnessed the development of Chinese television dramas and watched so many shows that he naturally knew what Lin An wanted for. Just to be on the safe side, he also picked up a few strands of Lin Zhe's hair from the bed in the bedroom.
After he finished packing, he noticed the nanny was still cleaning the toilet and kindly instructed her:
"It's fine as long as it's roughly right, don't overwork yourself, that toilet water isn't for drinking."
"ah?"
Before the nanny could react, Butler Li had already walked out.
Why make life so hard for other working people? Enough is enough.
The atmosphere at the Lin family dinner table was much better than usual, because the Lin family company had signed a big deal today.
Lin Haoran was in a great mood, his face beaming with joy:
"Xiaorou, the company secured a contract with the Yu family today. You are the biggest contributor. Thank you, Dad."
"Oh dear, Dad, why are you saying this? We're all family. I didn't do anything special; I just handed the family's business plan to Yuntian." After saying this, Lin Rou smiled proudly.
"This means he's still very satisfied with you. You need to step up your efforts and win him over as soon as possible."
Zhang Wanru chimed in, "Yes, let's get engaged first and settle things down."
Not long after Zhang Wanru was discharged from the hospital, Lin Haoran arranged for her to take Lin Rou on blind dates around the country.
In terms of looks, Lin Rou is tall and slender, with a stunning appearance that would make most men's hearts flutter.
However, the Lin family's poor financial situation was known to almost everyone in the city, big and small. What's worse, Lin Rou had once knelt down in front of the Cloud Top Hotel in public to Lin An. Those families who didn't care about money cared more about face, so Lin Rou's path to finding a partner was extremely difficult.
Nine times out of ten, Lin Rou meets the men on blind dates in the morning and deletes them on WeChat in the afternoon. If it weren't for Zhang Wanru's connections within the wives' circle, Lin Rou would have had virtually no chance of meeting those potential blind date partners.
Only Yu Yuntian, after meeting her, would chat with her for a few minutes every day.
Last time, the Lin family almost went bankrupt, and Lin Rou's coffee shop also closed down. In order to create a self-reliant and innocent persona, she lied on blind dates, saying that she was helping out at the Lin family's company and gave herself the title of vice president.
She sent the Lin family company's business plan to Yu Yuntian, claiming that she had done it herself and hoping that he would see her outstanding personal abilities.
Lin Wan felt that her parents were too materialistic and reminded Lin Rou: "Don't rush into choosing a partner. Time will tell."
Lin Haoran felt he had been subtly insulted, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face, and he said coldly:
"The Yu family is so rich, we must strike while the iron is hot. Don't be a disappointment yourself and block your sister's path."
Lin Wan has the prestige of a prestigious university and is also capable. When Lin Haoran wanted to send his daughter to a blind date, she was the first person he thought of. Unfortunately, Lin Wan is no longer willing to be used as a resource to exchange for benefits, and she simply doesn't respond. So Lin Haoran has been treating her sarcastically lately.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will try my best." Even without her parents urging her, Lin Rou was also determined to marry into a wealthy family, but unfortunately Zhou Chen ignored her, so she could only give up on her beloved.
"Second sister, you're so beautiful, Yu Yuntian will definitely like you. He's my future brother-in-law." Lin Zhe's words were as sweet as ever.
At the dining table, Lin Xia sat in the seat furthest from Lin Haoran, eating her meal as if the family's joy had nothing to do with her. Since being abandoned by Dong Shu, in Lin Haoran's heart, this daughter had already completed her historical mission.
When Dong Shu invested 100 million yuan, the conversation at the Lin family dinner table always revolved around Lin Xia. Lin Haoran was very grateful to her, saying things like, "Dad's good daughter, it's my blessing to have you." Now, it's Lin Rou who's Dad's little darling, and Lin Xia has become invisible at the dinner table.
Lin Wan sensed her dejection and put a piece of fish on her plate: "Xia, eat more vegetables."
Lin Xia lowered her head and hummed in agreement.
The next day, in the morning.
Lin An, who was sleeping on the office sofa, was woken up by the ringing of the phone. He had been discussing company business with Xu Mo until 3 a.m. yesterday, so he decided to stay at the company.
Lin An struggled to open his eyes and answered the phone.
"Young Master, I've received the goods. Where would be a suitable place for me to deliver them to you?" Butler Li's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lin An provided the company address.
Because Lin An's company was located in the suburbs, it took Butler Li more than forty minutes to drive there.
When the elevator doors opened, he saw that the entire floor was Xiao An's company's office space, and he was very excited.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The receptionist asked twice before Butler Li finally snapped out of his daze.
"I'm looking for Lin An."
"Oh, you must be Mr. Li?"
"Yes," Butler Li confirmed that it was indeed him.
"Our CEO instructed that you would be coming. Please come with me."
Following the young and attractive receptionist, Butler Li entered the office area and saw many young employees working busily and full of energy. He recalled the days when he traveled all over the country with Lin Tianyou to do business, and his heart was filled with emotion.
The receptionist led him to the president's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Butler Li went inside and saw Lin An and Xu Mo standing by the French windows, discussing something.
Upon seeing someone enter, Xu Mo retreated first.
Lin An's office was newly renovated and looked even more impressive than Lin Haoran's office.
Butler Li was utterly shocked. In just over three months, his young master had achieved so much. Even if Lin Tianyou were alive, he couldn't possibly match half of his grandson's achievements. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Young Master, if the Old Master knew in the afterlife that you were so successful, he would be overjoyed. This whole floor belongs to your company, right?"
Lin An laughed and said, "We've rented not only this floor, but also the floor downstairs."
"Good, good, good, you've got potential!" In Butler Li's eyes, this level of potential was like his ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke. Lin Haoran had been busy for so many years, but his company was still smaller than Lin An's. Thinking of this, Butler Li looked down on Lin Haoran even more.
"Steward Li, please sit down. I'll have someone pour you some tea," Lin An quickly invited him to sit down.
"No, no, I have other things to do. Here's what you wanted."
Butler Li handed over a long, rectangular plastic box, into which he carefully placed the collected toothbrush and hair of Lin Zhe inside.
Lin An took the box and noticed that Butler Li was also carrying an elegant Japanese-style lunchbox in his other hand. He asked, puzzled:
"Are you rushing off to deliver food?"
Butler Li explained helplessly, "That's right. Lin Rou has her eye on the second young master of the Yu family and is trying every means to please him. This is the food that Aunt Wang made. She packed it up and asked me to deliver it to Young Master Yu's company as a charity meal."
Butler Li glanced at the time and then said, "It's getting late, I have to hurry over."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Butler Li."
Watching Butler Li's hurried departure, Lin An called Xu Mo over:
"I think we can start a flash delivery service."
"What?" Xu Mo was completely bewildered. Didn't they just say they were going to bid on a piece of wasteland in the suburbs?
