Chapter 365 Deciding to Attend the Feast at Hongmen
Fei Wenxing knew how to stir up emotions, and some classmates who were nearby looked over because of what he said.
Fei Wenxing realized that his voice was a bit loud, scratched his head embarrassedly, and lowered his voice.
"The eldest son of the Lin family is back."
"Is that Lin Mo who disappeared six years ago?" Even He Zhou had heard of the brilliant young master of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
“That’s right!” Fei Wenxing gave He Zhou a smart look and continued, “Lin Mo not only came back, but also attended the board meeting.”
Song Ke: "What's so strange about that? Lin Mo started taking over company affairs when he was 10 years old."
"Have you forgotten that the Lin family still has a young master? The current young master of the Lin family, Lin Jiahai, has long been groomed as the heir. Even the 45% of shares that Lin Mo used to own have been transferred to him."
Fei Wenxing, having heard the news from who-knows-where, was talking about it with great interest.
"According to sources, Lin Mo has been home for two months, but the news has not been made public, and the Lin family head has not assigned Lin Mo any position."
"Isn't it obvious that they have no intention of letting him return to the company?" Cheng Yao commented, "I heard that the Lin family head treats Lin Jiahai much better than he treated Lin Mo back then. Some people previously tried to justify it by saying that he was making up for the debt he owed Lin Mo by treating his only remaining son. Now the truth is out."
"Lin Mo deserves a lot of credit for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences' current success. The way the Lin family is doing this is really too ugly," Song Ke also expressed her opinion.
Fei Wenxing, Cheng Yao, and Song Ke, three people in the industry, were discussing something, while Qu Tong, Xu An, and He Zhou listened from the side.
Fei Wenxing said mysteriously, "There's a twist."
"Just say it!" Song Ke rolled her eyes at him.
Fei Wenxing smiled ingratiatingly: "No one expected that several important cooperative companies with some Lin family shares are related to Lin Mo, and Lin Mo directly participated in the board meeting as a 25% shareholder."
"And they made it clear that they wanted to take back the 30% of shares held by Lin Jiahai's mother."
"The situation is still at a stalemate."
"If we get back this 30% stake, plus the 25% that Lin Mo already has, then the entire Academy of Agricultural Sciences and all its businesses will change hands."
As they were talking, Cheng Yao suddenly said, "Lin Jiahai is 31 years old now, two years older than Lin Mo. I wonder how they should be addressed in terms of seniority. Should we start calling Lin Mo 'Second Young Master Lin'?"
Song Ke: "Idiot, the title of 'Young Master' isn't based on ranking. Back then, the Lin family only had one child, Lin Mo."
Cheng Yao suddenly realized: "That's right, people call him that because they are amazed by his business acumen."
Qu Tong closed the book, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with deep thought.
Lin Mo acted faster than she had imagined; perhaps he had already begun preparations after being rescued.
It's common knowledge that the Pharmacists' Guild is very wealthy, but the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is even wealthier.
The reason why the Pharmacists' Guild is more famous than the Agricultural Research Institute is that the Pharmacists' Guild has a presence in the business, political, and military fields, while the Agricultural Research Institute seems to have deliberately avoided this and only ventured into the business world.
Even though the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was later affected by Qu Tong's fruit and vegetable store, it only earned less, not no money at all, and its many derivative industries were still quite profitable.
If Si Yuting is a legend in the entire interstellar military world, he went to the battlefield at the age of 15 and became the strongest general in the interstellar space in 10 years.
Lin Mo can be considered a legend in the business world of the Canaan Empire. He started getting involved in company affairs at the age of 10 and transformed an ordinary public institution into a group that consistently ranked second in the empire's financial asset rankings in 12 years.
I really don't understand what the Lin family is thinking. Isn't a life of lying around and picking up money good enough? Why do they have to think about overturning the table?
How could such a business genius, who could build such a huge empire, not destroy it with his own hands?
Picking peaches is one thing, but telling the people who worked so hard to grow them to get lost is another.
No one could tolerate that.
Qu Tong couldn't understand this desire to control money and power.
She believes in lying down rather than having sex unless absolutely necessary.
If Lin Mo hadn't revealed the truth to her, she would have been just like everyone else, unaware that the Xuanyuan family, a leader in the home appliance industry, and the Pharmacist Guild all had a share of the exotic beast meat.
Behind the scenes, he has dabbled in many lucrative industries, as long as they do not involve political power.
No one even knew that he had expanded his business overseas.
What are you doing here?
Qu Tong's thoughts were pulled back by Fei Wenxing's words.
Following the line of sight, one could see Chen Erhu approaching with two companions.
"You think I wanted to come here!" Chen Erhu retorted, walked up to the more amiable Xu An, and took out five red invitation cards from his spatial storage. "I'm here to deliver invitations for Brother Ye."
"Are you sure this is for us?" Cheng Yao, standing next to him, snatched it away with a look of utter disbelief. "Did Lan Xingye get his head caught in a door?"
Thinking about his mission, Chen Erhu used a clumsy attempt to provoke him, saying, "You guys aren't afraid to go, are you?"
"Go back and tell your master that I've accepted this challenge." Fei Wenxing took a card from Cheng Yao's hand and spoke arrogantly.
Chen Erhu left with his men.
"You didn't even read the contents before saying you wanted to go?" Song Ke stepped forward and took a ticket as well.
Fei Wenxing scoffed in the direction Chen Erhu had left: "He's lying, you idiot!"
"A charity gala?" Fei Wenxing closed the invitation and casually tossed it back into Cheng Yao's hand. "I'm not going. It might be some kind of trap."
Cheng Yao distributed one invitation to each person, except for Fei Wenxing.
I haven't seen Lan Weiying and Lan Xingye at school since the last exam. Fei Wenxing told me they took leave.
"Is Qu Tong going?" Song Ke asked Qu Tong.
"It's better not to go. Jade is right. They didn't invite us to the last new product launch celebration, but they specially sent us an invitation this time. They definitely don't have good intentions," Cheng Yao advised.
Qu Tong thought so too.
Everyone unanimously decided not to go.
Qu Tong didn't take the matter to heart and had no intention of going.
Is the Pharmacist's Guild some kind of coveted organization? Just because he invited me doesn't mean I have to go.
But after class, I received a message from Lin Mo: [The charity gala next week will be the final event.]
Qu Tong hesitated for a moment, then replied with "Okay".
When Qu Tong got home that evening, she told Si Yuting about it.
At the crucial moment, Si Yuting's personal computer rang.
Si Yuting glanced at the screen and answered the call, playing it on speakerphone.
As the other person recounted the events in detail, Si Yuting's expression gradually became serious.
A group of important criminals escaped from prison, and the public was asked to send Si Yuting to deal with them.
"Why are you being asked to go?" Qu Tong asked, puzzled.
“Because I was the one who arrested him before. During the arrest, his relatives were executed on the spot according to the Public Security Law due to their violent resistance.” Si Yuting’s eyes were dark and cold, devoid of any emotion.
How long will it take?
Si Yuting's eyes flickered: "It's hard to say. Last time, it took a full three months to capture them."
"Wen You and Cheng Feng have arrived. Cheng Feng, come with me. If I don't come back, let Wen You and Gu Xiu accompany you."
When Si Yuting said that, it meant he was going to carry out a mission.
Qu Tong naturally wouldn't stop her. She took out her personal terminal and called Wen You, just in time to ask her if she had bought the house yet.
After waiting for a long time, the call finally connected, and the first thing she said was, "Tongtong, I'm busy right now... um..."
