Lin Xiaotang couldn't change this deep-rooted idea.
Just like her——
Her parents trained her to be the successor, and she lived up to their expectations, achieving success in a very short period of time and overwhelmed the board's opposition with facts.
But once Lin Xiaotang made any mistake, everyone would start to make a fuss about the fact that she was just a girl after all.
If it was Lindenko, they would probably be more tolerant and say "there is still more room for growth."
Therefore, a woman who can stand among a group of men and work hard to make a name for herself is always single or a DINK, so that people can believe that she is truly devoted to her work.
Even so, there is still a sentence waiting for her: "No matter how successful she is, she is a failure as a woman."
At a dinner party, it is natural to treat women as a "dish" to be tasted.
Lin Xiaotang sighed again, and Lin Dengke was very frightened when he heard it. He was used to following Lin Xiaotang's arrangements, putting himself in the position of an assistant and never overstepping the line.
Now Lin Xiaotang said that she wanted to hand over the company to him. This was simply a bolt from the blue!
"Brother, our company has grown from a small jade counter to a giant in the jade industry today. It is the joint efforts of my father, uncle, and third uncle. It is also the uncles and aunts on the board of directors who have pushed it to this height. We represent not only the Lin family, but also the channel that promotes China's jade jewelry industry to the world. It is an important way for others to understand Chinese jade and its history. As the first generation of the Lin family, we must shoulder this responsibility."
Lin Xiaotang's words were a bit exaggerated, but they were what Lin Dengke had always wanted to do.
In other words, it is what every member of the Lin family wants to do.
The Lin Group has never been limited to making money.
They would rather be the gatekeepers of Chinese jade and prevent inferior products from tarnishing China's image.
Lindenko was in mixed emotions and kept his mouth shut. This was no small matter.
During the past three years, as the special assistant to the president, he witnessed the price Lin Xiaotang paid to get this position. Just when things were about to get better, Lin Xiaotang wanted to give him everything, which he could not accept.
To do so would be to become a thief who steals the fruits of other people’s labor.
Lindenko has his own pride and persistence.
It was precisely because of seeing Lin Xiaotang’s efforts that he could not do such a thing.
"Brother, I could have made all the necessary preparations to deal with Pei Sizhu, Hu Rui and the others. When they made a bigger mistake, I would have rooted them out and killed them with one punch, leaving them no chance to turn things around."
Lin Xiaotang looked at Lin Dengke who had fallen into silence, and what emerged in her mind was the image of this elegant cousin standing in front of her to protect her in her previous life.
He is less bookish and more calm and sharp. Such a cousin is also a woman's dream lover.
——It’s the same now.
"But do you know why I want to take action now? Even if it would alert the enemy."
Through the lenses of his glasses, Lindenko looked at his little cousin who had everything under control, and there was a possibility that was about to emerge.
"Yes, I want to hand you a clean company."
There was an inexplicable mist in Lindenko's eyes. She did the bad things while he picked up the fruits behind her.
Although she is called a younger sister, she acts like an older sister, planning for his future.
Lin Xiaotang turned around, not wanting to look at the man's vulnerable side, and also giving Lin Dengke space to sort out his emotions.
"Brother, I want to live an ordinary life. I owe Fu Hansheng too much."
Lin Xiaotang's voice softened. At this moment, she was not the president, nor the helmsman of a company.
Just a little sister telling her brother her troubles.
"I'm only 22 years old, and I still have a lot of things that a 22-year-old girl should do. I want to accompany my children to grow up well, and I want to live a normal life with Fu Hansheng. Pursue my dreams, learn to love someone, climb a mountain, and plan a trip that I can go on at any time."
You don’t have to wear a mask every day to examine whether the people in front of you have ulterior motives, you don’t have to worry about whether your behavior is in line with your identity, and you don’t have to rack your brains to think about the direction of the company and the correctness of its decisions.
I just want to live a normal life.
Lin Dengke took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, dispelled his rejection, and listened carefully to Lin Xiaotang's words.
Yes, before the second uncle passed away, this little sister was still angry with him and could express her happiness or unhappiness without any scruples, but after the second uncle passed away, she immediately put away all the thoughts that belonged to her age and became a warrior.
Going back a little further, before Second Aunt fell ill, this younger sister acted like a princess every day, wearing beautiful dresses and choosing sparkling jewelry.
Lin Dengke even thought of when he was a child, Lin Xiaotang said that she didn't like the cold jade at all, and diamonds were more sparkling. After being educated by her uncle and aunt, she secretly pestered him to buy her a big diamond as a gift for her 18th birthday.
In just three years, he even forgot that this was the little princess of their Lin family, the little girl who had been raised with their pampering and care.
The more he thought about it and the clearer he understood it, the harder it was for Lindenko to say no.
Lindenke felt that he was extremely incompetent. He should have been protecting his sister, but he still needed her to clean up the company and give him a clean future.
Lindenko wanted to slap himself in the face to remind himself how useless he was.
They have pushed Lin Xiaotang to the point where she is now, and are still exploiting her love and child.
"Did you know?"
Lin Xiaotang thought of something funny, "A few days ago, my uncle said that he would give Fu Hansheng some money and let him leave me."
Thinking about her emotions at that time, Lin Xiaotang felt that she was really extreme.
Uncle, he always thinks about her behind her back, and doesn't care at all even if he acts like a bad guy in front of her.
No matter what decision she makes, her uncle will be the first to question her, which is also a form of protection.
Since my family members have doubts, it’s hard to express other people’s doubts.
Uncle protected her in his own way.
Her eldest uncle and third uncle, one tough and the other soft, are her protectors on this road, paving a way for her that will not lead to any injuries.
“That’s what I wanted to do.”
Lin Dengke felt a little guilty. A few days ago, he was still thinking that Fu Hansheng was a man with bad intentions and should be gotten rid of as soon as possible so that he would not covet the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, my uncle did it first.
Lin Xiaotang checked the time again. "Brother, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. Think about it carefully, or you can discuss it with Uncle San. I'll go back during my lunch break."
Lin Xiaotang was worried about Fu Hansheng and no longer argued with Lin Dengke about the final outcome of the matter.
