"Dad, the Lin family has achieved what it has today thanks to your hard work. It's not just the reputation of the Lin family, but also the future of the Lin family that is important."
Lin Jiu placed a box on Lin Hong's desk. The moment he opened it, Lin Hong's eyes lit up.
"Dad, this is a Yixing purple clay teapot made by Gongchun himself during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty. It is ingenious, simple, elegant and solid."
Lin Hong has always liked purple clay teapots. When he saw the exquisite piece in front of him, he reached out to touch it. The moment his fingertips touched the teapot, he suddenly thought of something and quickly withdrew his hand.
"Dad, I asked Su Moyun's family to help me find this for you."
After hearing Lin Jiu's words, Lin Hong dared to fiddle with the purple clay teapot in front of him, "It's better to raise a daughter. Girls are the little cotton-padded jackets of their parents."
Suddenly, Lin Hong thought that he had called Lin Jiu here to give her a lecture.
He glanced at the chair next to him and said, "Jiu'er, sit down."
"President Gu came to my workplace specifically to find me about what happened to you at school today. You know that the Lin and Gu families have a lot of business cooperation. You caused such a farce at school, and both of our families' reputations have been greatly damaged."
"Dad, you're still speaking for the Gu family. I heard from Fan Jian that a Tang Dynasty tomb was discovered near the slums, but the incident has alarmed the imperial capital, and they've ordered the matter to be suppressed. If it's just one tomb, it's fine, but if it's a cluster of tombs, the land in the slums can't be developed."
puff--
Lin Hong spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Jiu'er, what news did you hear from Fan Jian?"
"Yes, Dad. And it was Gu Xi who asked me to wear a swimsuit and run today. He also said that our two families would fall out sooner or later. Would the Gu family... withdraw their investment first..."
At this time, Lin Jiu's phone rang, "Dad, my express delivery has arrived. I'm going to pick it up."
After Lin Jiu left, Lin Hong worriedly called his secretary and asked, "Check two things for me. One is whether any ancient tombs have been discovered in Bincheng recently, and the other is the financial situation of the Gu family. Have they secretly withdrawn their investment from the slum project?"
After finishing the call, Lin Hong rubbed his temples and then played with the purple clay teapot lovingly.
Lin Jiu went downstairs, opened WeChat, and clicked on Huo Shen's profile picture.
The profile picture is a beach landscape painting, and his name is Huo Shen, but he didn’t even mention changing it, as if he was afraid that no one would know he was Huo Shen.
Lin Jiu was surprised to find that the WeChat display showed that the other party was typing.
Similarly, Huo Shen can now see that she is typing.
Lin Jiu was a little flustered and quickly typed a line of words: "Mr. Huo, thank you very much for your help today. It allowed me to be approved as a national temporary first-level athlete in such a short time."
After typing, Lin Jiu felt that it was not well written and deleted it all.
At this time, Huo Shen sent a message.
Huo Shen: [Did everything go well today?]
Lin Jiu deleted the long paragraph he had just typed.
Nine: [Smooth.]
Just enter two words.
Huo Shen: [If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly. If Mo Yun hadn't mentioned it this time, I wouldn't have known the Gu family was bothering you.]
Huo Shen: [The invigilator who gave you a zero was indebted to Gu Xi. I've already had her expelled from the school.]
Two messages came in succession. Lin Jiu only sent two words from beginning to end, although she edited a lot.
Nine: [Thank you, Mr. Huo.]
Nine: [Good night.]
Lin Jiu turned off WeChat, but still felt her heart beating fast. She was really not good at chatting on WeChat.
————
Huo Shen took the phone and typed a line of words on the screen: "Good night so early."
Later I deleted them all and just sent them two words [Good night ^_^]
Suddenly I realized that I accidentally typed an emoticon and actually sent it.
