Seeing Long Ming agreed, Hua Yuran instructed Long Ming, "Let's start the video call. Put your phone in your chest pocket, with the camera slightly exposed. Hide it well so I can see the chairman."
"I will block out all the sounds from this side, so he won't be able to hear anything I say."
He did what he said and immediately connected to Hua Yuran's video call.
On the top floor of the Lan Group's administrative building, in the magnificent chairman's office, Lin Haishan was listening to Old Lady Lin's phone call with a stern face.
"Haishan, Yu Ran is really too unreasonable. She really made me very angry. I still feel uncomfortable in my heart."
"This little girl is just like Yun Xin. She looks down on you and everyone in our Lin family."
"She told me herself that you're useless and have messed up the company her mother left behind. She needs her to come back and save the situation."
"As a father, you are nothing in her eyes!"
Lin Haishan's body trembled, but he forced a smile out of habit and said softly, "Mom, you are our elder, the old lady of our Lin family. Who dares not to take you seriously?"
"Yu Ran...she's just a child, she doesn't understand things yet. Don't take her words to heart. You should be more tolerant."
"She is indeed very smart in some aspects. She is a true genius."
"Geniuses are generally imperfect, so their weaknesses lie in their interpersonal relationships."
"For my sake, because she can really develop advanced new products for the company and inject new vitality into it, please don't bother with her."
"After all, she carries the blood of our Lin family. She is your granddaughter!"
"Be more tolerant of her and be nice to her. She will realize her mistakes."
Old Mrs. Lin uttered a "Pah" sound and continued angrily, "Her last name is Hua, and my last name is Lin. She is from the Hua family, and I am from the Lin family."
"It's really hard for me to marry a granddaughter like this. She told me to go back to the Lin family the other day."
"In my eyes, my son, you are the best. Hua Yunxin is nothing but a figure. To be able to marry into the Hua family, she must have accumulated great virtue in her previous life."
"Don't say I don't want to be good to Yu Ran. Ask her if she would change her surname, recognize her ancestral roots, and become Lin Yu Ran, a true member of the Lin family. Would she be willing?"
"If she agrees, and I give her a hard time again, I'll take the last name Hua!"
"You know I don't like anyone with the last name Hua!"
Old Mrs. Lin has always been resentful about Lin Haishan marrying into the Hua family!
Her son, Lin Haishan, is the only person in the history of Linjia Village who was admitted to Kyoto University.
She had never doubted her son's ability. She believed that he was an unprecedentedly talented person who would accomplish great things in the future.
She also firmly believed that it was her son's credit that the Hua Group had grown to this extent and become the leading enterprise in Jincheng.
However, people outside do not think so. They all think that her son is a gigolo who relies on women to get to the top.
The Lin family is indeed very glamorous in Jincheng. On the surface, those wealthy families are very flattering to them, but secretly they sneer at the Lin family and look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
This made her extremely angry.
Of course, Lin Haishan also knew his mother's temper, and he tried his best to comfort Mrs. Lin.
"Mom, why do you care whether her last name is Lin or Hua?"
"Whether her last name is Lin or Hua, she always calls you grandma."
"Yun Xin has passed away. There's no need to dwell on some things."
"Just think of it as being for my sake and for the company's development, and be nicer to Yu Ran, okay?"
Old Mrs. Lin was still angry, but her tone had softened.
"You are my son. I am old now and I have to rely on you for everything. Whatever you say is what it is."
"You ask her to apologize to me sincerely, and I won't make it too difficult for her. After all, she is indeed my granddaughter."
"But, there is one thing I must make clear: she absolutely cannot be with that young security guard."
"Our Lin family is no longer what it used to be. We are a prominent family in Jincheng. How could we accept someone of such low status as our grandson-in-law?"
"Our Lin family can't afford to lose this person!"
Lin Haishan laughed out loud and assured, "Mom, don't worry. Even if you are willing, I will never agree to it."
"I will send that little security guard away today. He will never become your grandson-in-law and get in your way."
Old Mrs. Lin snorted again, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to recite some Buddhist scriptures and ask the Buddha to bless you!"
Lin Haishan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. I know you are the most considerate of me!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Haishan still held the phone to his ear. The smile on his face gradually froze and became more and more gloomy. His hand holding the phone became tighter and tighter, so tight that his hand began to tremble slightly.
Then, he couldn't control his emotions anymore and slammed the phone in his hand to the ground.
The phone instantly shattered into pieces and flew everywhere.
Just at this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Lin Zheming came in with a document and saw this scene.
He looked at Lin Haishan's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and did not say anything. He just walked over, put down the documents, then walked outside, took a broom, and swept up the smashed phone.
He picked up the cup on Lin Haishan's desk, made a cup of steaming hot coffee, and brought it to Lin Haishan. He still didn't say a word, but just stood there quietly with his head down.
Lin Zheming came outside the door after Lin Haishan finished talking to Old Lady Lin on the phone, and vaguely heard the conversation between Lin Haishan and Old Lady Lin.
He knew that Lin Haishan was not angry with Old Lady Lin, but with Hua Yuran.
Because the words of Hua Yuran that Mrs. Lin repeated deeply touched Lin Haishan's extremely fragile self-esteem deep in his heart.
Lin Zheming is familiar with Lin Haishan, and he will slowly adjust his mood.
Sure enough, after a while, Lin Haishan picked up the coffee made by Lin Zheming and drank it slowly.
At the same time, he picked up the document brought by Lin Zheming, and signed his name on it without looking at it or asking any questions.
"Zheming, go call that little security guard in!"
Lin Zheming nodded, "Okay!"
He picked up the document and said casually, "Dad, I'll get you a new phone at noon!"
"If anyone makes you angry, you must tell me and I will deal with him!"
Lin Haishan continued to drink his coffee without commenting.
Lin Zheming turned around and walked out.
After Lin Haishan finished drinking the cup of coffee, he suddenly felt much more relaxed all over.
Lin Zheming treated him sincerely, and his cultivation of Lin Zheming was not in vain.
