30 Donations
◎You can’t give birth yourself!◎
"Bring me a pot of black tea." Song Xun looked at his assistant.
The latter hurried out without daring to breathe.
Lu Lin squinted his eyes coldly and said, "My daughter doesn't need outsiders to worry about her."
The whole room was silent, and everyone looked around, not knowing what to say. If they had no other choice, they really wouldn't dare to eat at the same table with these two people.
"Just eat your food! I don't know where all that talk comes from. I haven't drunk milk since junior high school. Have you seen my diet?" Bai Xia frowned slightly.
She was really impressed. If she really didn't like the male supporting role, she could just pretend she didn't see it. Why did she have to pick a fight and spit at him for no reason? Was he a child? Would that make the female lead turn back?
The male supporting role is also good-tempered and always gives in. What's there to give in for? He should just say it directly. The person he likes is in front of him, but he didn't seize the opportunity and instead blamed others for stealing his love. We should look at everything based on the facts. It's his own problem.
He is always being sarcastic. He used his sarcasm to drive the heroine away before, but he still hasn't learned his lesson.
"Xia Xia is also my daughter, what do you mean by outsider?" Song Xun's eyes were burning.
Lu Lin scoffed, "You can't give birth yourself."
Don't say it's for his daughter's sake. Such high-sounding words are just to fool Ruan Wen.
The whole room was dead silent, and everyone wished they hadn't been here today. Mr. Lu's words were as sharp as ever.
"Are you from the Women's Federation? What does it have to do with you whether other people give birth or not? Are you so possessive of other people's children?" Bai Xia wanted to slap the crab legs into his mouth.
Lu Lin didn't say anything. He picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip of wine, then picked up the hammer to crack the crab legs for her.
At this time, the manager also came in with milk and black tea. Noticing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, he put down his things and quickly walked out.
Zhou Huayi, who organized the party, quickly raised his glass and said, "Thank you all so much for giving me this honor in your busy schedule. I'm very grateful. Without further ado, I'll drink first."
Seeing this, the others immediately raised their glasses and said, "Of course we can't refuse Mr. Zhou's invitation. If there are any good projects in the future, just remember us."
After finishing a glass of wine, Zhou Huayi, fearing that Lu Lin would flip the table midway, began to talk business. "I recently acquired a new technology and am kind of thinking about developing intelligent robots, but there are still many areas that are not mature yet. Does anyone have any ideas? Or maybe you could work on it together?"
Hearing this, everyone laughed, knowing that he was just talking and there was no way he could work with others. However, Lu Lin was the leader in artificial intelligence, having founded Shengmin Technology more than ten years ago. It had to be said that he was indeed a visionary.
"Then you have to find Mr. Lu. He has many talented people under him." Someone said with a smile.
Everyone looked in Lu Lin's direction. The latter tapped the crab legs expressionlessly, slowly removing the crab meat, then handed the plate to his daughter and wiped his hands with a towel.
"Sheng Min, I don't have the final say." Lu Lin's face showed no emotion.
Everyone else smiled awkwardly. There was no point in saying this. Everyone knew that Bai Ruanwen was the largest shareholder of Shengmin, and the actual manager was Lu Lin. The first batch of talents were introduced from the Lu family. If he didn't have the final say, then who did?
Thinking of this, they all looked at Song Xun at the same time. These two families were really strange. They were obviously incompatible, but they could still do business together. This Miss Bai was also a legend. She could actually play two men around, and they were willing to let her raise a daughter, and they could also start a company together.
"That's my fault. I didn't invite Miss Bai here today. President Song will have to make some connections when the time comes." Zhou Huayi looked in the direction of Song Xun.
The latter smiled faintly, "My wife has been in poor health recently and may have to step down as chairman. If you have any ideas, please tell my daughter."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the little girl next to Lu Lin. They had heard of this little girl a long time ago, and it was a foregone conclusion that she would inherit the Lu family business in the future. They didn't expect that the Song family also had such plans. At such a young age, her wealth has caught up with that of others in their lifetime. It turned out that reincarnation is a skill. Having two fathers is not enough, you also need a discerning mother.
However, they were not surprised by the actions of the Lu and Song families. After all, the little girl had been training with Lu Jinnian since she was young, so she must have some abilities, otherwise how could a little girl be allowed to take on the leading responsibility.
Bai Xia lowered her head and ate crab meat. She didn't trust the male protagonist, so most of the company's shares were under the name of the female protagonist. In the eyes of the outside world, the female protagonist was the main controlling shareholder. In fact, she had been managing the company all these years. The male protagonist also played a role, such as giving her a group of initial talents. Now that she has grown up, she can slowly take actual control of several companies.
"It's true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. It's obvious that Mr. Lu's daughter is better than her father. We are all old now, and there may be many things we need to learn from the young people in the future." Zhou Huayi said seriously.
Others also sighed, "Young people nowadays are really smart. They are so smart. The technical talents my company has newly hired are really amazing."
Bai Xia picked up the teacup and looked at the others. "I'm still young and lack a lot of experience. I'll need your guidance in the future."
"No, no!" Others also raised their glasses one after another.
Bai Xia stood up and clinked glasses with everyone, then sat down and sipped his tea. "I think the project Uncle Zhou mentioned has a lot of room for improvement. Shengmin does have a technical team in this area. As for the details of the cooperation, we still need to discuss it in detail. After all, it's not a small matter."
"Of course!" Zhou Huayi looked at the girl with a smile. "I have a son who is studying abroad. You young people must have a lot to talk about."
Everyone else glanced at him. They didn't expect him to be so impatient. If anyone could marry into the Lu family, it would be a ready-made benefit, not to mention that the girl was so beautiful.
"No need." Lu Lin said coldly.
Zhou Huayi was not embarrassed. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then immediately changed the topic.
Bai Xia has gotten used to it, probably because she was influenced by Lu Qihui. In the eyes of the male protagonist, he himself may not be a good person. In fact, he knows everything, but he is just double-standard. When it comes to his daughter, he can't tolerate it at all.
After dinner at eight o'clock in the evening, she said goodbye to Song Xun and took a car back with the male lead.
After returning to the room, she took out a share sale agreement and knocked on the study door. Now that she no longer needed a guardian to represent her, of course she had to take back the company's shares. She would buy them back at the market price based on how much money the male protagonist had invested, and she would definitely not let him suffer any loss.
Lu Lin was on the phone with someone. When he opened the door and saw it was the girl, he simply hung up the phone. He took the document she handed over and looked at it for a few seconds. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "I'll just transfer it to you."
What's going on between him and his daughter?
"That's not what I meant. My purchase is my business. I've said it before that I will definitely not let you lose money. I'm not just making empty promises to you." Bai Xia said seriously.
Of course she would return the money the other party had invested, even if they were related by blood.
Thinking of the little girl's solemn words to persuade him to invest, Lu Lin chuckled and went to the desk to get a pen. His daughter was indeed a genius. He had not expected it to be so smooth. The prospects of artificial intelligence were indeed huge. Now other companies that wanted to enter could only cooperate with them.
"You have so much money?"
He suddenly noticed the amount. Although it was indeed the market price, it was not a small amount.
"Why can't I have so much money?" Bai Xia was speechless.
Is it only because he has money that she is allowed to do so? She has been running a company for so many years, if she didn't have this little money, she would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Lu Lin didn't say anything, nor did he let the lawyer look at the contract. He signed his name neatly and handed it to her.
"By the way, this is for you."
Bai Xia took out an invitation and handed it to him, "Do you have anything extra?"
Seeing the invitation to the charity auction, Lu Lin hesitated for a moment, glanced at the bookshelf, picked up a decoration and handed it to her, "Is it okay?"
Feeling that this should be an antique, Bai Xia smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
After saying that, she took her things and turned to leave. Lu Lin picked up the invitation and took a look at it, then told Assistant Xu to clear his time on Friday. Although she didn't like to participate in these hypocritical charity events, her daughter's event was different.
After returning to the room, Bai Xia took a shower and went to bed. After all, she had to go to work the next day. She had made a pledge that she would resign if she didn't do a good job in a month.
This charity was founded by her and the heroine a long time ago. As expected, the heroine was very supportive and did everything herself. She didn't have to worry about the charity funds being taken away.
But many times it does cost a lot of money. For example, if you want to build a school, you have to build roads and bridges first. Otherwise, primary school students have to cross mountains and rivers to go to school every day without shoes. This is a real thing. Everyone's life is different, but what she can't stand the most are those beasts who even embezzle charity money and make their fortunes by relying on the blood and flesh of others. So for her, every penny must be spent effectively.
Most people think that this charity organization is run by the Song family and has raised a lot of money over the years. This charity auction is also organized by the heroine and several other organizations for the disabled. For the sake of the Song family, most people who receive invitations will go. Even if the amount is just a little bit, it is enough to build a teaching building.
Lying on the bed, she opened a WeChat group of five people and sent a message.
[Do you have anything you don't want? You can give it to me [smiley face]. Note: It's not mandatory, so forget it if you don't have it.]
He Yuehua: [I recently bought a gemstone necklace, but it doesn't really go with my clothes, and my mom doesn't like it either. You can take it.]
Qi Mo: [No one wants that watch either, why don’t you sell it?]
Bai Xia: [You can return it, just bring the receipt.]
Qi Mo: [I never return anything I buy!]
Bai Xia: […as long as you are happy]
Lin Yan: [[Picture] My grandfather's antique paintings]
Bai Xia: [Have you become rich recently? Aren't you afraid your grandfather will beat you to death?]
Lin Yan: [Dedicating my love to the poor is my responsibility [smiley face]]
Qi Mo: [I am also very poor, can you help me too? ]
Lin Yan: [You hit my car last time, remember to pay for the repairs]
Qi Mo: [[Smiling face]@Bai Xia, remember to check if the item he gave you is fake]
Bai Xia: [Thank you all for your kindness. On behalf of the students in the mountain village, I thank you. I will treat you to a meal next time [smiling face]]
After turning off his phone, Bai Xia turned over and fell into a deep sleep. When he went to the company the next day, everyone in the department was more relaxed, not as tense as in the previous few days. It was obvious that the public opinion on the Internet had been effectively controlled, and even broke through the circle in disguise to increase brand awareness.
At 10:30 in the morning, she went to the ninth floor to attend the regular high-level meeting. The marketing department once again summarized the reasons for the new product problem.
"If there are problems with the new product, why is it still on sale?" Song Xun looked at everyone present.
The R&D manager also lowered his head. "You and your wife went on a trip a while ago, and Director Song has been handling this matter. He said we were making a fuss over nothing and there was no need to dwell on the details. Other companies might not match our quality, so they sold it in large quantities."
Seeing Song Xun's bad face, the others quickly spoke up, "Thank goodness Boss Xiaobai cut the Gordian knot this time. Now the online public opinion has completely reversed. It really is true that money should be spent wisely."
Everyone quickly applauded and knew what to say. Director Song was Mr. Song's son. Although he had resigned now, Mr. Song was still there, so it was not easy for them to take sides. After all, Mr. Song was a veteran of the company.
"Compensation is one of the principles of after-sales service. I heard that the Ministry of Justice is also going to sue the victims. Who came up with this idea?" Song Xun rarely looked unhappy.
The others lowered their heads silently. Who else could have come up with this idea? Of course it was Director Song.
"I believe that we must strictly control product quality. Many times, no matter how good the product is, if there are problems with quality control, it will still be criticized. Don't let details affect the overall situation. Our goal should be to capture the market in the long term, rather than letting other cost-effective brands seize my original market share." Bai Xia said in a serious voice.
Everyone quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."
In the end, Song Xun didn't say anything else. He had also heard that his second uncle was not willing to let Xia Xia join the company. If the situation could not be reconciled, then he would have to get rid of these parasites. Regardless of whether they were relatives or not, he couldn't leave Xia Xia with a business full of loopholes.
After the meeting, Song Xun kept Bai Xia and asked her about her work in the public relations department over the past few days, whether she had encountered any difficulties, and whether she should speak out immediately if she was unhappy about anything.
What grievances could she have? She just couldn't tolerate the behavior of some people in the Song family. They were completely black-hearted businessmen and blood-sucking worms. No matter how big a company was, it would be drained by such people. It was just that the male supporting role had a good temper and took the face of the elders into consideration, but she would never tolerate it.
Some people are like this. They use their seniority to suppress young people, while at the same time saying that young people are capable, and then put all the blame for the dirty work on the young people. The main reason is that some people who rely on their seniority to bully others have corrupted the social atmosphere and are extremely shameless.
As expected, within two days, the online public opinion changed again. Suddenly, a group of people came out to attack the product for having problems but still selling it to make dirty money. It seemed like other brands were engaging in malicious competition, but she felt that it was not that simple. Before the public opinion reversed, no one had made any negative comments, so why are there so many offensive remarks now?
She could only ask the people in the department to continue observing and trace the source as soon as possible to see which company was behind the incident. If the source was not found out, they would inevitably be put in a passive position.
There was a charity auction on Friday, and Lu Jinnian specially gave Lu Shuo one million yuan and asked him to buy something to support it.
When they arrived at the venue, quite a few people had already arrived. Bai Xia greeted everyone she knew one by one, and then sat down in the first row. Having followed Lu Jinnian around for years, she basically knew everyone she should know.
"Will your mother come today?" Lu Shuo sat next to her and looked around.
Bai Xia squinted his eyes and asked, "You care about my mother?"
Lu Shuo: "...If your mother comes, Uncle Song will definitely come too. What if your father messes up?"
This was not just his imagination. He remembered seeing his elder brother beating Uncle Song when he was a child. Which side should he help at that time?
"Do you think he is the same as you?" Bai Xia said expressionlessly.
Lu Shuo instantly became anxious, "My temper is much better than your father's. I haven't fought in many years, you know."
He was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and then saw someone walking towards him. He immediately waved and greeted him.
Lin Yan sat down in the first row according to the seating chart, only one seat away from Bai Xia.
Bai Xia also noticed him, "Where's Qi Mo?"
Painter He Yue had something to do at home and couldn't come, but she remembered that Qi Mo was free today.
"There was a rear-end collision on the road." Lin Yan glanced at her.
“…”
Bai Xia: "Why doesn't he hire a driver?"
Since getting his driver's license, he seems to have had three accidents in the past three months. It's a miracle that the Qi family still dares to let him drive by himself.
"Do you play games?" Lu Shuo stared at Lin Yan with interest.
The latter's eyebrows twitched slightly, "What game?"
As if he had found a kindred spirit, Lu Shuo immediately moved over and sat down next to him, then took out his phone. "This is something our company recently developed. If you play the game, please help me review it."
Bai Xia reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, "Shut up!"
“Eh—”
Lu Shuo was forced to sit back down, then leaned over and stared at Lin Yan. "I'll add you on WeChat, and we'll talk later."
He remembered playing games with Lin Yan and Qi Mo before, but Qi Mo was a terrible player, and Lin Yan was better. He hadn't seen Qi Mo recently, and wondered if he was hurt by the eldest lady, but this was also expected.
It's better to be hurt by the eldest lady than to be dealt with by his eldest brother.
As if he saw something, he suddenly sat up straight and found that Lu Lin's seat was next to him. He then quickly moved over to switch seats with Lin Yan.
It is better to let him fast for a month than to let him sit next to his elder brother for an hour.
"Can you please behave yourself? Why are you running around?" Bai Xia looked at his phone while glancing at the people walking back and forth.
Lu Shuo didn't say anything, just lowered his head and played with his phone in silence.
After Lu Lin dealt with the people who greeted him, he saw a young boy sitting next to his daughter. Although the two of them didn't speak, he inexplicably didn't like seeing this scene.
"classmate?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind him. Bai Xia turned around and saw that the male protagonist had actually made time to show his support today. He immediately looked at Lin Yan and said, "Oh, classmate."
Lin Yan nodded slightly, "Hello, Uncle Lu."
Lu Lin glanced at him nonchalantly, his face showing no emotion. He just came over and sat down next to the girl. Soon someone else came forward to greet him.
Bai Xia nodded one by one, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly looked at Lin Yan, "Qi Mo rear-ended someone, will he be able to handle it himself? He won't cheat people out of money, right? Why don't you go and help him?"
Lin Yan remained calm, "He's an adult now, he'll handle it himself."
