Chapter 47. Father Kong sat somewhat awkwardly at the head of the dining table. ...
Mr. Kong sat somewhat awkwardly at the head of the table.
Fu Yansheng seemed much more at ease than the two hosts, Kong's father and Kong Ning. Lin Zhao said softly, "Uncle Kong, just treat him as my friend."
Fu Yansheng nodded.
When Confucius heard this, his father laughed heartily.
He didn't say anything.
Who would dare to treat Fu Yansheng as an ordinary friend?
That's Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng is a man of his word in the business world.
Aside from seeing Fu Yansheng on television and in newspapers, Kong Fu didn't even have the right to meet him in real life.
This was the first time that Kong's father had spoken with Fu Yansheng face to face.
He heard Fu Yansheng, who was high and mighty in the circle, call him Uncle Kong.
A chill ran down Confucius's spine: This will shorten your lifespan!!!
Mr. Kong glanced at his son, his smile stiffening, almost unable to hold on any longer. Kong Ning noticed his father's pleading gaze and took a deep breath.
He looked back with a helpless expression.
With Fu Yansheng present, everyone felt a little awkward.
Fu Yansheng seemed to have realized this himself, so he started talking about some of the hottest projects in the business world recently. Kong's father heard that Fu Yansheng seemed to want to discuss it with him.
He then shared some of his insights on the project.
The Kong family could never afford such a project, but Kong's father had run the company for a long time, and since most of the projects were similar, he was unlikely to make any mistakes in his speech.
In the past, Mr. Kong could only hear about the existence of this project from other people.
He never expected that Fu Yansheng would discuss the specifics of this project with him.
After all, to cooperate with the Fu Group, one needs someone to act as a go-between, but that depends on personal connections and social skills!
Whether it was personal connections or power, the Kong family had none of the conditions that were met.
Knowing the capabilities of the Kong family, Mr. Kong assumed that Fu Yansheng was just making a casual remark to try and get closer to them.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yansheng immediately said after hearing this: "The partner for the Fu Group project has not yet been finalized. If Uncle Kong is willing, he can submit a project proposal to the Fu Group's assistant department soon."
This will be the only chance for the Kong family to rise in the ranks.
Mr. Kong felt he didn't have the ability and was about to refuse when Lin Zhao nodded.
Although Lin Zhao didn't like getting involved in company affairs, she had been exposed to the industry since childhood and was quite perceptive about financial trends. In addition, Lin Zhao felt that Fu Yansheng was not the kind of person who would hand over important company projects to others just because of one person.
It seems that Fu Yansheng appreciated the key points that Kong's father had regarding the project.
Fu Yansheng agreed to let the Kong family participate in the project.
Confucius's father ate the meal in a daze.
If someone had told Kong's father a few days ago that Fu Yansheng would eat with him and even call him uncle, he would have found it unbelievable.
But today is different!
Fu Yansheng not only called him uncle, but also took the initiative to talk to him!
Even after Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao left, Kong's father still hadn't reacted.
Staring blankly at his son beside him, he asked, "Mr. Fu, do you want to cooperate with the Kong family?"
Kong Ning nodded emphatically, her voice filled with excitement: "Dad! You'd better prepare the project proposal carefully! This was introduced to us by Brother Zhao, we can't let him down!"
Father Kong nodded hurriedly, stood up abruptly, and pulled his son, who was still diligently cooking, toward the study, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.
"All you ever do is eat! Don't go out and have fun these next few days. Finish the project proposal first!"
Kong Ning, who was planning to go out and play with Lin Zhao tomorrow, stuffed the braised pork from his chopsticks into his mouth: ? ? ?
On the way home, Lin Zhao kept her eyes fixed on Fu Yansheng, who was reading documents beside her.
His eyes were filled with curiosity.
Fu Yansheng didn't want to say anything at first, but under that gaze, he couldn't hold out for long before putting down the documents in his hand and helplessly looking at Lin Zhao beside him.
The lights of the night outside the window kept receding, and the warm light inside the car shone on Lin Zhao's face, making the doubt in Lin Zhao's eyes seem to deepen.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Yansheng asked Lin Zhao in a low voice why she was staring at him so intently without moving.
"Does Brother Fu really think Uncle Kong is a good candidate?" Lin Zhao asked about the project.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng closed the document in his hand.
With a serious tone, he said, "The Fu Group doesn't lack partners; what it lacks is a suitable one. I know about the Kong family. Uncle Kong has managed to get to where he is today by taking advantage of the opportunities you mentioned. He has been steady and pragmatic all the way, which is enough to show that he is not an incompetent person. Moreover, the Kong family is just lacking a stepping stone to move up."
Lin Zhao blinked and said "Oh".
“More importantly, Uncle Kong is someone Zhaozhao approves of, and I believe in Zhaozhao,” Fu Yansheng said gently.
Lin Zhao was slightly taken aback.
Logically speaking, Fu Yansheng would have more options, and there would be more suitable options than the Kong family.
The reason for choosing the Kong family was simply because of what Fu Yansheng said later.
Because Fu Yansheng believed in Zhaozhao's choice.
They are also willing to help Zhao Zhao's friends.
Even though he didn't particularly like Kong Ning.
However, once the Kong family gets busy, Kong Ning probably won't have much time to look for Zhao Zhao.
Fu Yansheng had a clever plan.
Lin Zhao, unaware of Fu Yansheng's ulterior motives, was filled with gratitude.
Fu Yansheng set up a studio for Lin Zhao at the Fu family home and gave Lin Zhao the materials from the competitions he had participated in over the past few years.
If Lin Zhao wants to pick up her pen and paint again, she needs to make a name for herself first, and participating in competitions is the fastest way to do so.
For the next few days, Lin Zhao did not go to the Fu Group.
Instead, he focused on staying home and picking up his paintbrush to regain his former inspiration and skill.
In addition, having seen and experienced many people and events over the past few years, Lin Zhao's inspiration almost burst forth the moment she picked up her paintbrush.
In order to quickly regain her touch, Lin Zhao locked herself in her studio almost every day.
Fu Yansheng hadn't seen Lin Zhao for several days.
He could only watch helplessly as he walked to the studio door and peered through the glass door at Lin Zhao's focused expression, but dared not disturb him.
Lin Zhao doesn't go out now, and even if Lu Zhou comes, he'll only be turned away. Fu Yansheng, on the other hand, gets off work much earlier.
In the past, Lin Zhao would accompany him to and from get off work, but many people in the company liked to chat with Lin Zhao and often left him in the office.
But now Fu Yansheng knows that Lin Zhao is waiting for him at home.
No one will see it, and no one will covet his brilliance.
Uncle Lai watched as the two hosts began their work.
She quietly took care of everything at home.
The arrival of the uninvited guest almost made Uncle Lai's eyes red.
Fu's father somehow obtained the address and waited until Fu Yansheng went to work before knocking on the door of the Fu family villa.
When Uncle Lai saw Fu's father, he showed no respect whatsoever and was about to close the door.
Then they heard Fu's father's stern voice: "You dare! You dare lock me at the door, aren't you afraid Fu Yansheng will come back and see? I'm his father in name only!"
Uncle Lai sneered when he heard this. This person only dared to use his status to make a fuss.
If it weren't for the fact that he was Fu Yansheng's father, Uncle Lai would probably have already chased him out with a broom.
"So you do know you're Mr. Fu's father?" Uncle Lai said sarcastically, his eyes bloodshot, as if he could reach out and strike the man in front of him at any moment.
The Lunar New Year has just passed, and the chill outside is still biting; the wind blows and the cold is almost piercing.
The villa was very warm. Lin Zhao was wearing a long-sleeved thin coat. When she went downstairs to get water, she noticed that the door was open.
Looking outside, I noticed that Uncle Lai was staring at the person outside the door with a rather unpleasant expression.
"Lin Zhao, this is the Fu family home. How dare you stop me outside?" Fu's father spoke with a condescending and stern tone, as if he had caught something wrong with him, as if he were criticizing a younger member of the family.
However, Lin Zhao was not a junior member of his family.
"Uncle Lai, let him in. It's not good if people see him outside."
Lin Zhao gave the order, and even though Uncle Lai was unwilling, he had no choice but to let the person in front of him in.
However, his complexion was still not good, and he followed Lin Zhao closely, afraid that Lin Zhao would be bullied by Fu's father.
Uncle Lai had stayed in the Fu family for a long time, and he knew Fu's father very well.
Thinking that Lin Zhao might be bullied by Fu's father, Uncle Lai quickly sent a message to Fu Yansheng.
Lin Zhao sat down on the living room sofa without paying any attention to Fu's father.
Uncle Lai subconsciously stepped forward and showed Lin Zhao some of the more famous paintings from the recent art exhibition, which was Lin Zhao's habit these past few days.
Fu's father did not receive the respect that Lin Zhao deserved; even Uncle Lai did not offer him a seat.
Feeling embarrassed, Mr. Fu watched the two's actions with a cold expression. When he realized that Lin Zhao had completely ignored him, Mr. Fu finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Lin Zhao, didn't the Lin family teach you how to respect your elders?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao slightly turned her head, her gaze falling on Fu's father's face. The usually obedient Lin Zhao now had a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Elder? Who do you think you are as an elder?"
Lin Zhao had known about the Fu family's attitude towards Fu Yansheng for a long time.
On his previous visits to the Fu family, Fu Yansheng had almost never given those people a friendly look.
Lin Zhao naturally had no reason to be nice to Fu's father.
After all, it's not Fu's father who's in charge of the Fu Group now.
"As expected, Fu Yansheng's friends are no good either."
Mr. Fu's face was grim, and he cursed both of them in one sentence.
Uncle Lai snorted coldly and replied directly, "Well, that's still better than someone like you, isn't it?"
“Mr. Fu, the Fu of the Fu family, now the Fu of Fu Yansheng.” Lin Zhao raised his head slightly with a cold voice, his aura no less imposing than that of Fu’s father.
The current Fu Group is also the Fu of Fu Yansheng.
It's none of anyone else's business to criticize.
The fact that Fu's father was allowed into the Fu family was already a result of Lin Zhao's desire to avoid others seeing the spectacle.
I never expected the person in front of me to be so ungrateful.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fu's face flushed red, and his eyes widened as if Lin Zhao had pierced through his last veil of shame.
He reached out to strike Lin Zhao directly: "Lin Zhao, it's you who made Fu Yansheng disobey me!"
Uncle Lai stepped forward, grabbed Fu's father's hand, shook him off, and stood motionless in front of Lin Zhao.
"You dare!"
Uncle Lai gave a stern shout.
"What do I have to be afraid of? He's just a good-for-nothing scoundrel, and he's even under the protection of the Fu family now. Am I not allowed to touch him?" Father Fu said through gritted teeth, completely enraged by the person in front of him.
Uncle Lai didn't care about anything else; this wasn't the Fu family's old residence anymore.
Lin Zhao was his master.
If Fu's father dared to lay a hand on Lin Zhao, he would dare to grab a broom and chase the person out of the room!
"The most despicable people are those who take their anger out on children." Lin Zhao said directly, "You are not welcome here. Uncle Lai, see you out. Remember to tell the gatekeeper not to let any shady characters in."
Lin Zhao's tone was almost overflowing with disdain.
He stood up and headed towards the art studio.
"Lin Zhao, who do you think you are? This is the Fu family home. If anyone should get out, it's you!"
Before Fu's father could say anything, he saw Uncle Lai reach out and pull him.
If you can't understand good or bad words, then Uncle Lai knows a little bit about martial arts!
When Fu Yansheng returned, he happened to hear his father swearing.
He looked up and immediately slapped Fu's father across the face.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Uncle Lai put down Fu's father and stood beside Fu Yansheng. With Fu Yansheng as his backing, Uncle Lai straightened his back.
"You, you actually dared to hit me!" Father Fu looked at Fu Yansheng in disbelief. Father Fu knew that Fu Yansheng had never submitted to him, but this was the first time he had ever hit him!
You must know, I am Fu Yansheng's father!
Fu Yansheng simply gave a cold laugh.
His eyes held a strong hint of sarcasm: "So what if I hit you? If you ever come to the Fu family again, get out of China."
He was simply repaying them the way they had treated him.
Mr. Fu stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.
Lin Zhao stood in the studio, holding a paintbrush but not putting brush to paper for a long time.
When Fu Yansheng arrived at the studio, he saw Lin Zhao staring motionless at the canvas.
“Zhaozhao.” Fu Yansheng’s tone revealed a hint of worry.
Lin Zhao subconsciously turned around to look at Fu Yansheng.
"Don't worry, he won't come again," Fu Yansheng reassured Lin Zhao.
Just now, from Uncle Lai's words, Fu Yansheng already knew Lin Zhao's attitude towards Fu's father, and also understood that Lin Zhao disliked Fu's father because of him.
Otherwise, given Lin Zhao's consistently obedient nature, how could she possibly treat her father like that?
Thinking of this, Fu Yansheng felt a surge of joy, but he didn't show it on his face.
Lin Zhao saw Fu Yansheng and asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Brother Fu, aren't you at the company?"
Fu Yansheng did not say that Uncle Lai had told him about this.
He just smiled and said, "I forgot to take a document. When I came back, I ran into Uncle Lai kicking him out. I told Uncle Lai not to let him in again."
Lin Zhao didn't speak, but instead pulled Fu Yansheng to look at the painting in front of her.
This is what Lin Zhao spent a whole day drawing.
"I feel like something's missing," Lin Zhao said thoughtfully.
Fu Yansheng glanced at the painting. In Fu Yansheng's eyes, Lin Zhao's paintings were beautiful no matter what they were.
Lin Zhao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. She put down her paintbrush and glanced at Fu Yansheng, who was staring at her without moving. "Brother Fu, didn't you come back to get some documents?"
Fu Yansheng then came to his senses, remembered what he had just said, and hummed in response.
He entered the study, took something, and then left.
Lin Zhao lay alone on the living room sofa, looking at the excellent paintings from the past two years.
I lost interest after watching for a while.
Lin Zhao thought that Fu's father must have spoiled her mood.
Uncle Lai noticed that Lin Zhao looked worried.
He stepped forward and said softly, "How about we go out for a walk?"
Uncle Lai meant well.
Lin Zhao shook his head upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something: "Uncle Lai, it seems you've been staying at the Fu family for quite some time?"
Uncle Lai nodded: "I entered the Fu family with Mr. Fu's mother."
Uncle Lai's tone was tinged with a sigh.
That passionate woman, as beautiful as a flower, ultimately died in the Fu family.
Silently.
Fu Yansheng looks about 70% like his mother.
However, he did not inherit his mother's passion.
He has always been aloof and quiet since childhood, as if he doesn't care about anything.
Why did Brother Fu leave the Fu family's old house back then?
Lin Zhao still remembers the time when Fu Yansheng lived alone in their villa area.
At that time, Fu Yansheng only had a butler by his side.
That person wasn't Uncle Lai.
Uncle Lai sighed slightly as he spoke of this matter, and at Lin Zhao's prompting, he sat down on the sofa and began to reminisce about what happened back then.
"This story begins with Mr. Fu's mother. She was quite young when she applied for a job as a nursery maid at the Fu family home, but later, after that person got drunk..."
Uncle Lai paused, took a deep breath, and said, "They always think that Mr. Fu's mother took the initiative to seduce him, but in reality, she was not willing at the time. In order to prevent the scandal from being exposed, the Fu family wanted to drive Mr. Fu's mother away."
But before she could leave, they discovered she was pregnant. The Fu family wouldn't allow their bloodline to be outlived, and since the other man's wife was childless, they planned to raise the baby after Mr. Fu's mother gave birth.
At this point, Uncle Lai's eyes were filled with disgust.
It was out of disgust for the hypocritical Fu family at the time, and also out of disgust for the true faces of everyone in the Fu family.
Those people forced the woman who wanted to abort her child and imprisoned her in the Fu family.
She was made to carry the child for ten months and give birth to the unwanted Fu Yansheng.
Nobody respects her ideas.
No one could save her.
Even death was a luxury for women at that time.
At the time, the woman was locked in a villa, and many people were watching her. Uncle Lai secretly went to see her a few times, and seeing her almost insane expression, Uncle Lai was powerless to help.
On the very night the woman gave birth to Fu Yansheng, she committed suicide.
The woman's only value had vanished, so no one cared about her death.
Even more dramatically, not long after Fu Yansheng was born, the man's wife discovered that she was pregnant.
Fu Yansheng became a thorn in everyone's side.
It would be fine if Fu Yansheng knew nothing.
But Fu Yansheng was number one in everything, overshadowing everyone else.
then……
The Fu family then 'exiled' Fu Yansheng, claiming he was unwell.
But all he wanted to do was spoil Fu Yansheng.
Even so, after Fu Yansheng left, all the children of the Fu family, whether from collateral branches or that woman, were nothing more than mediocre talents.
He can't compare to Fu Yansheng.
So, the still-living Mr. Fu arranged for Fu Yansheng to be brought back.
He took her with him, patiently taught her how to take over the Fu Group.
After the old man passed away, the old lady felt that keeping Fu Yansheng around would only cause trouble, so she "exiled" him to the country. She originally planned to send her other children to the Fu Group as soon as possible, so that even if Fu Yansheng was smart, he would not be able to take the Fu Group from these other families.
But Fu Yansheng actually did it.
They might even cut off the side branches directly.
Showing no mercy whatsoever.
Hearing this, Lin Zhao was somewhat puzzled: "But Brother Fu said before that Auntie wanted to enter the Fu family ancestral hall."
Uncle Lai sneered when he heard this: "That's because she really did fall in love with that person before, but he tricked her into becoming his rightful wife and having her name inscribed in the ancestral hall. So she thought that the old lady would accept her one day, and that she would enter the ancestral hall and stand beside her lover. But when the lie was exposed, she went crazy."
However, Fu Yansheng took it seriously. Everyone looked down on his mother, but he insisted on letting her enter the ancestral hall.
But the old lady's approval is probably something she'll never get.
However, it doesn't matter. The current Fu Group is Fu Yansheng's Fu.
Anyone would go crazy if treated like that.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao took a deep breath.
Their disgust for the Fu family deepened.
It was probably Fu Yansheng's anger caused by his father's visit to the villa.
The Fu family had been in turmoil for several days.
The old lady was sent abroad.
The Fu family ancestral hall was completely renovated, and Fu Yansheng's mother was officially enshrined in the ancestral hall.
As for the collateral branches, some with ulterior motives were sent in by Fu Yansheng, while others all left.
Mr. Fu did not want to go abroad. After all, he was a member of the Fu family in China, but once he went abroad, he would be nothing.
Moreover, he knew what awaited him if he went abroad, so after much thought, he decided to ask Fu Yansheng for help.
But when he saw Fu Yansheng's face, which was exactly the same as his mother's, Fu's father was still stunned.
However, his face lacked the warmth of his mother's; instead, it was cold and indifferent, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Don't you want to go abroad?" Fu Yansheng said softly, "But you have no choice. You should know how the Fu family treats useless people. You know this better than I do."
Fu Yansheng did not want the Fu family to continue.
In the past, he could patiently play with them, but now Fu Yansheng has lost his patience.
"Is it all because of Lin Zhao?" Fu's father stared intently at Fu Yansheng's expression, noticing the fleeting emotion that crossed Fu Yansheng's face when he heard the name.
Mr. Fu seemed to understand something, and collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. His tone was firm: "You like him? I never thought you would like a man!"
"I never expected that my Fu family would produce such a romantic!"
Fu's father's tone was filled with disbelief.
His face looked pale.
Fu Yansheng didn't say anything.
Assistant Fan then took Fu's father away.
After today, Mr. Fu will no longer appear in China.
He will only die quietly abroad.
Fu Yansheng thought to himself.
"President Fu, now all the company's senior executives are our people," Assistant Fan reported to Fu Yansheng upon returning.
During this period, Fu Yansheng continued to make moves, accelerating all the progress.
If things continue at the previous pace, it will take at least another year to replace the top management with their own people.
But now it was resolved in almost a month.
This wouldn't have been possible without the help of Vice President Ji of the Ji Group.
Assistant Fan was aware of the relationship between the two.
He spoke softly, "The bodyguards around Young Master Lin..."
To prevent any member of the Fu family from resorting to desperate measures, Fu Yansheng placed many bodyguards around Lin Zhao, solely to protect her safety.
Is there any further movement from the old lady's side?
Fu Yansheng was most suspicious of the old lady. She was ruthless when they were in the old house and hated him to the extreme. He didn't believe that she would be able to tolerate him after leaving the old house.
Assistant Fan thought for a moment, then frowned: "There's really nothing happening on the old lady's side. The people around her now are all sent by us."
When Fu Yansheng asked the old lady to leave China, she probably knew that her power was gone and she could no longer control Fu Yansheng, so she obediently went abroad.
He looks like he's retired and enjoying his retirement.
Fu Yansheng simply didn't believe that the old lady would choose to leave so easily.
I always felt that the old lady had a backup plan.
"Is Zhao Zhao going to the Lin family today?" Fu Yansheng suddenly remembered that Lin Zhao had told him last night that she was going to the Lin family today.
Assistant Fan nodded quickly.
"Bodyguards, don't retreat yet. The old lady is not one to let go easily."
Fan understood.
Lin Zhao has returned to the Lin family.
Lin's parents specially put aside their work to spend time with Lin Zhao today.
Even Lin Rong and Lin Xian were given a day off.
Lin Rong presented Lin Zhao with a gift that he had prepared in advance.
It was said that it was prepared during the New Year, but I wanted to give it to Lin Zhao in person, so I kept it until now.
Lin Xian sat to the side, watching Lin Zhao sit in the middle of the three, like a jewel surrounded by them.
Incredibly precious.
Lin Xian's eyes dimmed slightly.
Even though he knew Lin Zhao's place in the hearts of the three people in front of him, he still hoped that one day his parents would treat him the same way they treated Lin Zhao.
But now it seems that no matter what, I am no match for Lin Zhao.
Even though Lin Zhao has now left the Lin family.
Lin Xian simply watched them quietly.
Lin Zhao noticed Lin Xian's gaze.
What do I want to say?
But then they saw Lin Xian stand up and give them a wry smile: "Mom and Dad, brother, I have a document to process. I'll go to the study first."
The smile on Lin Zhao's face faded.
She looked at Lin Xian with worry in her eyes.
At first, Lin Xian just wanted to return to the Lin family and didn't want to live the life he used to live, so he was able to get along well with Lin Zhao at that time.
But after returning to the Lin family and witnessing their love for Lin Zhao, Lin Xian's desires began to grow.
In particular, when Lin Xian thought that these things should have originally belonged to him, the dark side of his heart grew stronger and stronger.
She couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if she were Lin Zhao.
Then your parents' attention will turn to you.
Parents will like you more.
The older brother will also pay more attention to him.
Instead of watching them like an outsider, as I am now.
As Lin Zhao watched Lin Xian leave, she said solemnly, "I am not that couple's child. I was also a child who was taken away. Brother Fu is currently looking for my family."
Lin's parents were unaware of this matter.
Lin Rong had been mentally prepared for this long ago.
The fact that Lin Zhao is looking for her family means that she will have her own family in the future.
The Lin family welcomed Lin Zhao.
But Lin Zhao will have her own parents and her own real family.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rong gave a soft "hmm".
"As long as they treat you well, that's fine. I'll talk to Xiao Xian."
Lin's mother nodded: "Xiao Xian and his brother have a good relationship. They are both highly regarded in the company. No matter who is given the company in the future, I think the company will develop very well."
Lin's mother had a very high opinion of Lin Xian.
At least for now, Lin Xian is doing very well in terms of project completion and is already able to lead a team independently.
Lin Zhao's eyes showed surprise upon hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xian learned how to manage a team so quickly.
It's worth noting that it took Lin Rong a considerable amount of time before he began managing a team and independently completing projects.
"Lin Xianren is a good person, and I hope you can pay more attention to him instead of focusing on me."
Lin Zhao spoke softly, her words hurtful, yet true.
Lin Xian needs more attention and recognition.
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother instinctively looked in the direction Lin Xian had left, but Lin Xian had already disappeared from the living room.
Since Lin Zhao returned, their attention has been focused on her.
But they forgot that Lin Xian was their real child.
How heartbroken Lin Xian must be, seeing them surrounding Lin Zhao like stars around the moon.
Lin Zhao did not stay for long.
After saying goodbye to the Lin family, Lin Rong saw Lin Xian off.
Lin Rong sighed softly: "One day, Lin Xian will let it go. Zhao Zhao, you don't need to force yourself and the Lin family to make a clean break."
Lin Rong understood what Lin Zhao meant.
He also understood why Lin Zhao had come here.
The message conveyed is simply that one will also have their own family in the future.
It's likely that Lin Zhao will never return to the Lin family.
“Brother, you know my personality. I’m not forcing myself to make a clean break. It’s just that without making a clean break, none of us can get over the past. What we need to look at is the future.”
Lin Zhao spoke firmly, her gaze fixed on Lin Rong before her.
Goodbye, brother.
Lin Zhao got into the car without giving Lin Rong any chance to speak.
With eyes fixed straight ahead, the vehicle slowly started moving.
Lin Zhao only breathed a sigh of relief when the figure behind him could no longer be seen.
But before Lin Zhao could recover from her shock...
Then I realized that the way home seemed a little different.
Lin Zhao frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the rearview mirror. The man sitting in the driver's seat was not her driver.
Lin Zhao took out his phone, about to send a message, when he heard the man in front of him say with a cold laugh, "Young Master Lin, I'm just taking you to see someone, but if you send this message, I don't think you'll ever see anyone again."
This is a threat.
Lin Zhao understood the implication.
Looking up at the rearview mirror, I saw the coldness in that person's eyes.
As you slowly move down, you can see a knife mark on the web of the hand that's gripping the steering wheel.
This person is definitely not a good person.
Lin Zhao then placed her phone aside.
This expressed their sincerity.
"Those who take money to do things ultimately have a price to pay. How much did the Fu family pay?"
After thinking it over, Lin Zhao realized that the only people she had offended recently were the Fu family.
No one else has any reason to harm you.
Moreover, no one has the supernatural power to directly replace Fu Yansheng's driver.
"Young Master, you're mistaken. Is it really just about money? But you are quite intelligent. The person who wants to see you is indeed from the Fu family. As for the rest, I won't interfere."
The man spoke softly, casually tapping the steering wheel with his fingertips, a relaxed air about him.
He didn't take Lin Zhao seriously.
Lin Zhao was just a weak young master, and he completed the task and repaid the favor with ease.
Other things were naturally not on his mind.
"So they just want you to take me to see them, how much are you paid to do that?"
Lin Zhao grasped the key points.
After meeting them, the person in front of him couldn't do anything.
But I can hire him.
"Young Master, I'm not cheap." The man chuckled softly, as if he hadn't expected his target this time to be so interesting.
They actually dared to make a deal with me face to face.
He remained so calm and composed.
This is the first one.
The man stroked his chin with one hand, thinking for a long time.
Then he held up his finger and made a "one" sign.
"Ten million? That's a bit too low. How about one hundred million?"
Lin Zhao spoke with a questioning tone.
It seemed like he was seriously considering it.
The man suddenly laughed: "Young Master, your price is a bit too high. Considering how intelligent you are, I don't mind giving you a discount."
Lin Zhao was very curious about how much this person would quote.
Therefore, Lin Zhao's gaze never left the man.
The man seemed to realize he was being followed, so he quickened his pace while still making conversation with Lin Zhao.
"Ten dollars, plus a kiss from the young master. This is a very good deal for the young master."
After all, his net worth is not low.
The man stared intently at the rearview mirror, seemingly trying to gauge Lin Zhao's expression, but he was disappointed.
Lin Zhao just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
There was no outward expression of dissatisfaction.
"I don't think one of my kisses is worth much money."
Lin Zhao slowly withdrew her gaze.
He believed that Fu Yansheng already knew about his news.
The presence of a tail behind him proves that Fu Yansheng has sent people to follow him. As long as those people discover that the route home is wrong, they will naturally inform Fu Yansheng.
"Two hundred million is worth more than my kiss."
Lin Zhao made her offer directly.
Two hundred million is enough for the person in front of you to leave this city and squander their life in another place.
Many people can't earn a hundred million in two lifetimes.
Lin Zhao took out a card directly: "There are two hundred million in this card, think about it."
"It seems the old lady underestimated you. Young Master is indeed as generous as he is." The man whistled.
Lin Zhao realized that since the person in front of him had mentioned the old lady, they had already made a deal.
The two hundred million yuan came from Lin Zhao's hard work selling paintings abroad and her salary over a long period of time, as well as some money given to her by Fu Yansheng.
"Young Master, just tell me what you want me to do. After all, the temptation of two hundred million is not small."
The man sat up straight to listen to Lin Zhao's meaning.
“I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but it doesn’t seem to matter much that you accidentally brought a few followers with you. After all, your deal was just to take me to see the old lady.”
Lin Zhao's tone was relaxed.
The man thought about it seriously, and it seemed to be true.
The man glanced at the car relentlessly following behind and nodded.
That is, I stopped thinking about getting rid of them.
He reached out and took Lin Zhao's bank card: "But young master, I need to know the password beforehand."
"You'll know the password when you get there."
Lin Zhao didn't believe the person in front of her wouldn't betray her.
A young master who has become more cunning is even more attractive to men.
I initially thought she was just a good-looking target, but now it seems she's not only good-looking but also quite intelligent.
Although old ginger is spicier, the new wave pushes the old wave aside, and the old wave will eventually die on the beach.
"Then I hope to have a pleasant working relationship with the young master."
