Chapter 8 Spending Money on My Son
After Lin Ruxu took over the family business, he felt the weight of responsibility. He'd often fantasized about having an older brother or sister, so he wouldn't have to work so hard supporting the family alone. He even considered that if he were a girl, his parents might not be so strict with him, insisting that he inherit the company and make it a success.
He had hoped that the bright and sensible Li Yiqi would graduate early and join the company, but unexpectedly, Li Yiqi had no such ambitions. Then, his sister came back. Li Yiqi, who had lived on campus since college, had completely moved out of the villa and even said she was going abroad to study medicine. Medical studies take at least five to eight years, so when would she be able to return? It seemed that Li Yiqi was determined not to work for Lin's.
Feeling the expectant look in his sister's eyes at this moment, Lin Ruxu hesitated for a moment and decided to give her a chance.
My sister wasn't good at studying, but what if she had a talent for business? Real estate, then, since the Lin Group didn't have that category right now, I could start from scratch and let her figure it out. He said, "Then it's up to you. I'll have my assistant, Wang Kui, contact you tomorrow. If you need to register a company or anything like that, just talk to him."
My dear brother, this is awesome!
Lin Ruoyan didn't refuse Assistant Wang. The book mentioned that Wang Kui was a top graduate from a prestigious university, a trusted confidant of Lin Ruxu's, trained with the goal of becoming a capable and efficient branch manager.
Lin Ruoyan knew nothing about registering a company, so she asked Wang Kui to help her. However, after the company was established, she did not plan to recruit any staff from the existing employees of the Lin Group.
She has a clear understanding of her own abilities. Her company is not aiming for profit at all. Therefore, she must recruit some people from society who have difficulty finding jobs, just for the sake of appearance. She cannot delay the future development of those young and promising talents in the Lin family's large group.
Lin Ruxu didn't ask his sister about the details of her real estate company plan at this point. After all, perhaps it was just a spur-of-the-moment thought. Starting a company wasn't easy. If she lost interest after a few days, the whole thing might fall through. So, he prioritized focusing on his own work.
Lin Ruoyan thought that she had almost communicated enough and wanted to go upstairs to see her son, so she took the initiative to end the conversation and let her brother get down to business first.
Lin Ruxu was indeed focused on work, and turned back to the study on the second floor. Before the study door was closed, he saw his sister carrying high heels upstairs. Was she afraid that the sound of high heels stepping on the ground would disturb him while he was working?
Lin Ruxu couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She thought carefully about what her sister had just said. Although the blind date was fruitless, her sister seemed to have unique insights into business and judging people.
Of course, Lin Ruoyan didn't wear shoes because her feet hurt. The marble floor at home was so clean that you could see your reflection in it. The second floor was paved with solid wood flooring, which was very comfortable to walk on barefoot.
Lin Ruoyan tiptoed back to her bedroom.
Thinking about how to communicate with his somewhat autistic son Lin Mengxi.
Her son hardly spoke to anyone except her. Even though he was given a separate room in the mansion in Beijing, he was afraid of the dark and strangers and refused to live alone. He insisted on sleeping with her at night and rarely left her room during the day.
"Son, you're still awake?" Lin Ruoyan walked over to the small figure on the sofa and asked softly, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Mengxi showed the cover of the latest edition of the hardcover "Children's Encyclopedia" in her hand without saying a word.
Lin Ruoyan guessed that it must be something that her brother asked the housekeeper or the servant to buy. There would definitely not be such ready-made children's books in her brother's study.
According to the plot of the original book, the son of the real daughter is actually a genius. Although he is only five years old, he has learned thousands of words by looking in the dictionary by himself. Reading Chinese books on his own is no problem. He has a photographic memory and is extremely talented in learning foreign languages.
The son rarely spoke, and the original owner never had the patience to communicate with him. She always treated him as a normal autistic child. The more she ignored him, the more afraid her son became to communicate with her. Various misunderstandings arose between mother and son, and in the end, they became strangers.
After the real daughter died, her son was carefully raised by the fake daughter. He was admitted to university when he was less than fourteen years old. He later became a top scientist, a national backbone scientific researcher, and the youngest Nobel Prize candidate.
How could a mother ignore such an outstanding son? She must make proper arrangements for him before she died.
The prodigal system asked in confusion as usual: [Host, your son should follow the plot and just ignore him.]
Lin Ruoyan asked back: "Is Lin Mengxi a man?"
The prodigal system cannot deny that the child is indeed a boy.
"I'm following the rules and spending money on the men who surround me. What's wrong with that?" Lin Ruoyan argued wisely, "Do you know what costs the most money?"
The prodigal system was stunned by the question. Having already been brainwashed by the host's grand vision, it thought it was very clever and replied: "This won't be a problem for me. Everything the host is about to do will cost a lot of money."
Lin Ruoyan patiently explained, "According to scientific research, raising children is, of course, the most expensive thing in the world. Children are like money-eating beasts and money-shredding machines for their parents. Parents are impulsive spenders on their children, completely disregarding the cost and choosing only the most expensive and best. In the original book, I completely ignored my son's needs, which was a huge waste of an opportunity to spend money wisely."
The prodigal system suddenly realized: [So, the host intends to spend money recklessly on his son? ]
Lin Ruoyan nodded: "I guess so. As a mother, I feel more comfortable spending money on my son than paying for another man. Don't you think so?"
The prodigal system was speechless. Why did it suddenly feel like crying?
Lin Ruoyan didn't consider the acceptance of the prodigal system. Since the system didn't block her, she would plan her son's future first and try her best to convert the real money she invested into her son's skills.
There should be multiple options for her son's future education. Although the family may have the means to send Mengxi to an international school, and it would not be difficult for him to study abroad when he grows up, Lin Ruoyan thought that since the family was wealthy, with 800 million yuan, she would definitely buy a few decent school district houses that could be used for household registration.
If my son doesn't want to go to a prestigious public school and doesn't need the school district housing, then reselling it in the future will be a sure-win business.
The most expensive school district housing in Beijing is in X City District, which is close to various historical sites and headquarters of state agencies and state-owned enterprises. The Financial Street area is now being developed, and many office buildings, high-end hotels and shopping malls have been renovated. It is certain that buying a house in that area will increase its value tenfold or twentyfold in a few years.
Ordinary houses are too cheap and the quality is not very good. How about she just buy a courtyard house?
In real life, Lin Ruoyan has visited a converted Siheyuan homestay. The traditional exterior, modern, livable interior, and expensive furniture and appliances create a sense of seclusion within the city. Siheyuans in these locations are within a few minutes' walk of various famous attractions, surrounded by key primary and secondary schools, and convenient for grocery shopping and medical care, making them an excellent choice for raising children.
According to the development of the times described in the book, it is not expensive to buy a siheyuan now.
But more than a decade later, the price of a courtyard house of several hundred square meters with complete property certificates starts at hundreds of millions.
She will spend 800 million yuan in the next eight months. If she leaves in a carefree manner, she will have to leave some fixed assets for her son to rely on, so that she can feel at ease.
