Chapter 14 Chapter 14
Father Lin was so overwhelmed that he wanted to kick the man against the wall and grab his ears to teach him a lesson: "You bastard, what nice words can you say with your dog mouth! Will anyone read those things of yours?"
"Why not!" Lin Shengxi dodged everywhere. "Who knows if they're destined to meet again. You know what, I really think this baby looks like Brother Jiang!"
This incident made Lin's father extremely embarrassed. He kicked the man away with a headache, then turned around and said with a hint of apology: "He is just spoiled in his daily life. Don't take it to heart."
Although he has the status of an elder, Jiang Suizhi is a child that the Jiang family has only found a few years ago, so the relationship between them is not that deep. In addition, his methods are more ruthless and decisive than his brother, so generally no one uses his status as an elder to talk to Jiang Suizhi.
It also requires others to recognize it.
Compared to Lin Shengxi, Jiang Suizhi was as calm as an outsider. Without even batting an eyelid, he said calmly, "It's okay."
The entire banquet hall became much quieter the moment Jiang appeared. Everyone was looking at him openly or secretly, but very few people came up to talk to him.
Father Lin is an old fox, so he naturally knows why this happened.
Jiang Suiji is different from the gentle and respectable Jiang Yan in the past. After taking over the affairs of the group, he never shows up unless necessary. Many people who are interested in him have no channels to get to know him.
Jiang Sui came to today's dinner because of the old friendship between the two families, and the participants were not too mixed.
For a young person to be able to make others afraid to speak too much at such a young age is quite capable.
Father Lin knew that he had some minor problems, so he took the initiative to say, "It's quiet over here, let's sit here and talk."
The man didn't even take off his coat, ignoring the looks from the people around him as he sat down calmly: "Yeah."
"Sui Sui, it's rare to see you." Father Lin handed over a glass of wine. "Uncle, just say it straight away. I have a favor to ask of you."
Jiang then raised his hand to take the glass of wine, but did not drink it. He just held it in his hand and said, "You say."
"You saw it just now. My son has been disobedient since he was young. Talking to his mother is no longer effective." Father Lin sighed. "But he's not a bad person by nature. It's just that the people around him flatter him too much. We used to turn a blind eye, but this can't go on. His sister alone has taken over the company, and we can't have no one to take over in the future."
Jiang then shook his wine glass lightly without saying anything.
"Uncle is being shameless today. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, teach him for a while." Father Lin waved his hand. "I've seen your abilities over the years. He'll definitely learn a lot from you. Whether he does odd jobs or sweeps the floor, I won't ask any questions."
After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Jiang Suizhi's answer. As far as he knew, Jiang Suizhi didn't have many close friends around him. Many bosses had personal assistant secretaries, but he didn't. He always came to the banquet alone, and he didn't know if he had any special powers.
Because of this, no one can understand his character.
After a while, just when Lin's father was trying to find a different topic to discuss, Jiang Suizhi put the wine glass on the table and said, "Okay, I need an assistant. Let him come over tomorrow."
Even Lin's father hadn't expected Jiang Suizhi to give the position of assistant to his son. Would he trust others so much? He wouldn't even take a sip of the wine offered to him.
If it were someone else, Jiang Suizhi would naturally not let go.
However, in the past few years since he took over the group, he has thoroughly checked all of the Jiang family's relationships. He also knows that the Lin family is a family friend. He has heard a lot about them from his brother in the past, so he can make friends with them.
Besides, Lin Shengxi is Lin Jian's younger brother, and she supported him during his down years. All things considered, it wasn't that difficult to do him a favor.
It just so happened that he had other things to do recently and was interested in hiring an assistant. As for his private life, he always kept it separate.
-
The next day, when Lin Shengxi reported to the Jiang Corporation Building, he looked several years older. Yawning profusely, he approached Jiang Sui's office and said reluctantly, "Brother."
His sister said that he couldn't compare to Jiang Suiji in terms of intelligence, and he couldn't compare to him in terms of fighting or family background.
You have to bow your head when you should.
Lin Shengxi didn't believe that Jiang Suizhi would really dare to entrust him with any important matters of the group. If he really wanted to entrust him with it, he would let Jiang Suizhi know on the spot what it meant that the pot was made of iron.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked nonchalant: "What are the plans for today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a folder fell in front of him, and the man behind the desk raised his eyelids slightly.
Lin Shengxi deliberately didn't wear formal clothes today, but showed off his usual playboy image. The big chain made him look very coquettish, just waiting for Jiang Sui to get disgusted and kick him back home.
However, he didn't expect that the man opposite him seemed not to notice what he was wearing, and his eyes didn't even stay on his face for two seconds. It seemed that he was not as important as the document.
"I heard you have a wide social circle." The man asked calmly.
Lin Shengxi straightened his back unconsciously: "I guess so."
After all, going out to play every day is not in vain, and you know people from all walks of life.
Jiang then nodded: "Take a look at the information. This is your recent task."
Whatever it has to do with the social circle, you can't really let yourself do business, right?
Lin Shengxi opened it in confusion and then froze.
Because the file bag did not contain any business secrets or contract documents, but the social circle related to Jiang Yan.
Compared with Jiang Sui, he was much more familiar with Jiang Yan.
"Brother Yan?" Lin Shengxi didn't quite understand what was going on. If it was a fight over family property, why would they investigate since the person was dead and posed no threat?
And after all, Jiang Suizhi is Jiang Yan's legitimate younger brother, right?
He flipped through the file curiously and found that it was filled with people who had had some interactions with Jiang Yan, and they were all women. Some of the relationship chains that were not clearly written in the document were now clearly stated.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Jiang Sui then said, "Find out who Jiang Yan was dating before."
“!!!”
"ah???"
"Is it difficult?" Jiang Sui asked.
"If we unravel the mystery, we should have a clue, but why are we investigating this?"
"Don't worry about it, just find out. Tell me if you need anything. Don't make a big fuss until you find out."
Judging from Lin Shengxi's many years of experience in wealthy families, there must be some big gossip here. It has to be said that this task was really on his mind.
If this is what his job involves, he wouldn't be sleepy!
"Don't worry, brother." He hugged the documents with a beaming expression, and his previous dejected thoughts of wanting to go home were gone. "I promise to complete the task!"
"Stay by my side unless necessary." Jiang Suizhi lowered his eyes and continued his work. "You can explain this to your father."
"Do I need to clock in on time?"
"what ever."
“!!!”
Jiang then continued flipping through the documents: "But I hope to get the results as soon as possible."
At this moment, Jiang Suizhi's image in Lin Shengxi's mind became extremely tall. Originally, in his cognition, anyone who could manage the Jiang family and make them obey him for a period of time would be a scourge, even more rigorous and old-fashioned than Jiang Yan in the past.
But I didn't expect Jiang Suizhi to do something so unconventional.
No wonder he is so good at controlling people. Anyway, he has been controlled.
"Don't worry, my connections are real!"
Jiang then hummed, "Don't bother me at other times."
Lin Shengxi immediately pulled up a chair and walked out: "Then I'll go outside and make a phone call."
After everyone left, Jiang Suizhi stopped what he was doing. He took off his glasses and gently rubbed the edges, thinking about what happened a few years ago.
Outsiders all thought that Jiang Yan died and the Jiang family tried every possible means to bring him back, but that was not the case.
Long before that, Jiang Yan found him before anyone else, and it was then that he realized that he had an unattainable brother.
But at that time he had the so-called backbone, and he vowed not to take a penny from Jiang Yan and refused to return to the Jiang family.
Jiang Yan was not angry either. It seemed like that person would never get angry. Every time he was turned away, he would happily drive away by himself. He always stood at the gate of his school or outside the store where he worked part-time, as if he had no shame.
Later, she was really annoyed and let Jiang Yan into the house. The man squeezed on the narrow sofa without any disgust, and only talked about his recent life. Occasionally, after drinking some wine, he would complain about the hypocritical social interactions.
But at that time, I didn’t understand the hardships of the top wealthy families and could only sneer: “You don’t have to.”
Jiang Yan just smiled and said that he was still young and would understand it later.
Jiang Suizhi had never seen such a conflicted and contradictory person. He was obviously in a high position, but every time he got off work and had a day off, he would take off his expensive suit, snatch his tattered T-shirt, sit with him at a roadside stall to eat skewers, and go to the riverside to ride a bicycle.
Sometimes when he got into conflicts and fights with others while working part-time, Jiang Yan would come over and never ask any questions. He would roll up his sleeves and fight with him, and then they would both be taken to the police station. He would even say that he was only helping his relatives and not the other party.
At that time, he saw that man's usually neat and delicate face was scratched and dirty, and asked Jiang Yan: "Your Jiang family has never recognized me, and you will never want to recognize me in the future. Why do you have to come to me when you can be a good young master? We can never contact each other again."
The two sat by the river and drank. Jiang Yan was silent for a long time before asking, "What do you think the Jiang family is?"
"Is it the surnames on the countless property certificates, or the names of all the people who live together in the same huge manor villa and are listed in the same household registration?"
Jiang Suiyi was unable to answer. He could never have dreamed of these things.
Jiang Yan touched the vein on the back of his hand with an ice beer bottle and said, "It looks like this to me. The blood is the same."
"If I had found out on the first day I came to see you that you were the same as the people in that family, I would have given you more money than you could spend in your lifetime and would not have come to see you a second time."
"Jiang Suizhi, I have never been short of family." Jiang Yan said.
"So what are you missing?"
"I'm missing you." Jiang Yan said jokingly, "When I'm with you, I feel like a brother, not Jiang Yan, even though you haven't admitted it yet."
Jiang Suizhi had never experienced what it was like to have relatives, but that night, he tried to call this man "brother".
After that, Jiang Yan didn't speak for a long time. He just clinked his beer bottle with him in silence.
Later, the drunk Jiang Yan smiled and put the glasses that were broken in the fight on his brother's nose.
"That's good." Jiang Yan said, "It doesn't look so fierce anymore."
He added, "Jiang Suizhi, if possible, I hope you never set foot in that house for the rest of your life. That way, you will still be yourself."
Jiang Sui, who never allowed anyone to touch him, endured the trembling of physical discomfort, wearing the broken glasses and looking at his brother through the shattered marks. It was as if he saw the real him.
In the end, the two of them slept by the river all night and both caught a cold.
"That's fine." Jiang Yan, who was going to work the next day, was holding his suit and reeking of alcohol. "It's fine if you don't go back. At least I can still have a place to be myself in the future."
Later, the two of them maintained the same relationship as before. Jiang Yan came over occasionally, like an ordinary brother. At the same time, he also taught him a lot of things that he had never learned before. He bought a bunch of messy and ugly T-shirts and stuffed them into his closet, saying that they were to be worn together. I don’t know how such a big boss can have such a strange aesthetic sense.
He also learned to leave a light on for Jiang Yan when he got off work late, and even bought him an extra folding bed to put in the small living room.
The two often chatted in the living room all night long, and he heard many stories about Jiang Yan's past and the woman he talked about.
He said he was in love, but because of his current status and the complicated relationships at home, he couldn't let the Jiang family know about that woman. He had to become stronger.
That was the true tenderness Jiang Sui saw in Jiang Yan's eyes. He smiled every time he mentioned that person.
"You must come when we get married," he said. "It should be not far away."
But Jiang Yan didn't wait for that day because the woman left.
During that period, Jiang Yan lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were full of dejection. Every time he came to the house, he would get drunk.
He said, "Jiang Suizhi, I don't want to be Jiang Yan anymore."
"I can't find her."
"Save me."
But Jiang Suizhi knew nothing about the Jiang family, and had no idea how to save him, so he could only say, "I'll help you find her."
But Jiang Sui is not Jiang Yan. He is just an ordinary person without so many connections and money.
Jiang Yan tortured himself to the point where he was neither human nor ghost. He had to go find someone and quietly take back all the power of the group. Even his smile was not as gentle as before, but he never mentioned the words of letting Jiang Sui go back.
Suddenly one day Jiang Yan called, his tone more excited than ever before: "I found your sister-in-law and the others!"
"they?"
"She's pregnant! You're going to be my uncle!" Jiang Yan said excitedly, "I want to bring them to live with me."
"Where's the Jiang family?"
Jiang Yan was silent for a few seconds and said, "We are the Jiang family."
Jiang Sui didn't ask who we were.
Jiang Yan said that he would come to find him after picking up the woman, so that he could meet her for the first time and let the unborn child recognize his uncle.
But Jiang Suizhi had never been an elder, and he never thought about the fact that the child had not been born yet. He paced around in the small room, and finally went out to buy a lot of toys and clothes for the children, and bought a lot of food to prepare, in preparation for welcoming another member of the new family.
He waited until dark but there was no news from Jiang Yan and his phone was unreachable.
The food on the table was cooled and heated up again, and finally thrown away before Jiang Yan came back.
It was not until the third day that a group of people gathered at the door of the small house. The middle-aged man in the middle was dressed in black and exuded an air of superiority.
Jiang then knew who this person was, his biological father.
"Jiang Yan is dead." This was the first sentence his father said to him.
Jiang Yan died on the way to pick up his new family. He tried his best to give his loved one and his younger brother a new home, but in the end he was unable to enter that home.
"You've spent quite a bit of time with him, so you've been influenced by him," the father said. "I've looked into your past. You went to college, and while your experience isn't great, it's not a big deal. The Jiang family can't afford to be without a son."
At that moment Jiang Suisui knew what this man was here for.
Jiang Yan once said that he didn't want him to set foot in that house, but he eventually broke his promise.
That was the foundation left by Jiang Yan, the new Jiang family that Jiang Yan left to him.
So he couldn't let anyone else take it.
Not only that, he also wanted to find Jiang Yan's sister-in-law and unborn nephew whom he had never met, as he had promised.
Later, Jiang Suiji realized what Jiang Yan had been through. It took him many days and nights to get started with the group's affairs. Only after wearing glasses could he become like an adult as Jiang Yan said. Only now could he promise to bring back his family whom he had never met.
Calculating the time, the child should be three years old now.
Jiang Sui's emotions fluctuated greatly, which was rare. Every inch of his bones became numb and itchy again. His fingertips gripped the table, and his knuckles turned white. His eyes without glasses became extremely deep and aggressive, and his breathing became heavier.
Just then, Lin Shengxi walked in after finishing his phone call: "Brother Sui..."
He was interrupted mid-sentence by a harsh voice: "Get out."
Lin Shengxi was startled by the man's fierce, red eyes and quickly stepped back: "Okay, okay."
Feeling something was wrong, he turned around and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No need." Jiang then clenched his fists, "Stay away from me."
"oh."
After the person left, Jiang Suizhi took out the medicine from the drawer and put it in his mouth. A few minutes later, he put on his glasses again and let the person in, as if the person who seemed to be out of control just now was not him.
Lin Shengxi pushed the door open again cautiously and found that Jiang Suizhi was no different from usual. He almost thought he was seeing things, but at the same time he was slightly frightened.
Could it be that this person's mysophobia has struck again, and now it's so serious that he can't let anyone enter the office?
Why do these bosses always have these weird problems?
Lin Shengxi suddenly felt that he was more approachable.
And he was able to control it in such a short time. His self-control ability is simply terrifying.
"I just called and asked." He was afraid that this person would have another attack, so he spoke much faster. "A lot of people have nothing to do with Brother Yan. There are no women close to Brother Yan in the circle. He is very clean."
Jiang Suiyi didn't say anything, just looked at him silently.
Jiang Yan protected that person so well. If everyone around him knew about it, would there be any need to investigate?
But Lin Shengxi inexplicably understood the meaning of his eyes - why did you come to me if you don’t have an answer?
"Ahem." Lin Shengxi finally understood why this person was so outstanding in the eyes of his elders. The sense of oppression was even stronger than that of his sister. He added, "But I went around to some friends outside the circle, and someone said that Brother Yan used to often go to a private restaurant, and he would always go in and out alone. It was quite strange. I calculated the time, and it almost matches the time mentioned in your information. I'll go and see who else went in and out during that time?"
"Um."
-
"In this settlement, you can redeem a total of 35,400 achievement points." The system uncle's voice sounded excited but with a hint of imperceptible loss.
It was very sad. It had been guiding the two cubs for so long, and the two cubs could only exchange them for some small breads from time to time.
But once that woman came, the number of likes on her videos kept getting higher and higher, which completely brought shame to the system.
It’s just that in the past, when there were fewer achievement points, it could decide to redeem things directly for the children, but it no longer works when there are too many achievement points.
After all, it is impossible for windfall to happen, and it will definitely arouse other people's suspicion.
It’s just like what happened in Yueqing before, when after receiving the clothes, the children were asked where the money came from.
Therefore, the system is set up so that once the achievement points exceed the critical point, no more substantive conversations can be held, and the two children can only be given equal opportunities to obtain money in reality.
The higher the achievement points, the more valuable the opportunity is.
All the achievement points accumulated in the past could barely give the two kids the chance to meet Lin Jian, take photos and get paid.
The system sorted out the gap and said, "I'll look for corresponding opportunities."
At this time, the two kids were sitting on a small stool picking bean sprouts for their aunt, and they were stunned when they heard this.
"Thirty-five thousand what?" Little Le Jia had no idea about this huge number. He just saw countless red numbers on the background of his phone.
"It means a lot," the system said. "Complete this opportunity, and the money you get should be enough to go to a better kindergarten."
The two kids knew about the kindergarten matter. Their aunt said that day that they would learn with the reading machine first, and then when school starts in the summer, she would send them to kindergarten, where there would be teachers and children.
Aunt Lin once said that you need to take a lot of small breads to kindergarten.
So now the video can be exchanged for a better kindergarten?
Little Le Jia said, "We are not in a hurry to go to kindergarten yet."
"Didn't your aunt teach you about preparing for a rainy day?" the system said earnestly. "Even though she's doing well now, what if she breaks her promise and you can't go?"
Little Le Jia pursed his lips and squeezed out a sentence unwillingly after a long time: "She won't..."
He wasn't very confident, but he didn't want this to happen from the bottom of his heart.
The system sighed deeply. He wanted to teach his children not to trust anyone easily, but he also felt that this topic was too heavy for the children and would erase their innocence.
"Then I'll save it for you and use it when you need it, but you must not give it to your aunt, okay?"
Little Le Jia grabbed the bean sprouts and said, "Okay, thank you, uncle."
That’s what my aunt said too. He felt that my aunt wouldn’t steal their money anymore.
Xiao Lejia felt that he shouldn't say bad things about his aunt at this time, and he didn't want others to say anything bad about her either.
He wanted to prove that his judgment was correct and that his aunt had become a good person.
So when he saw his aunt coming back from hanging the clothes, he moved his small stool, leaned against the door and looked up: "Aunt, can we really go to kindergarten?"
Yueqing walked into the kitchen, pulled over his own stool and sat down.
She found that the two kids liked to sit on either side of the kitchen, so she simply made a table for herself so that she could occasionally accompany them.
"Really." Knowing that the two cubs were insecure, she nodded and assured, "I've already paid for your tuition and left it alone."
Not only did she set aside money for tuition, she also applied for a card and deposited all the money she earned from selling the bags except for the living expenses into it. This card would be given to her two children in the future.
It’s just that… although she added Lin Jian’s WeChat that day, she seemed to have finished her photography exhibition recently and had no intention of taking photos for the time being, so apart from taking photos of the party that day, she had no other source of income for the time being.
After she came back, she categorized the pictures she took for those internet celebrities and refined them one by one. She only posted all the pictures of everyone today. She doesn’t know if she can continue to cooperate with them in the future.
Sitting there and waiting for death is not a solution. She has to think of other ways out. Since her appearance has not changed since she came to this world, she wants to take a few sets of photos of herself and then try to be a model.
If I don't make money, I'll be living off my savings. I won't even be able to support two children, let alone pay off my debts.
Xiao Le'an saw that her aunt was distracted, and also saw what was in her aunt's mind. Although she didn't know what it meant to be penniless, she knew how to pay off debts and make money.
She had read many people's thoughts before, and they all had these words.
Is my aunt short of money?
Yes, my aunt is short of money.
I also have to earn money to buy bread for myself and my brother and to go to kindergarten.
She nodded her head, thinking that she should tell her brother to let her aunt go with her to earn money and pick up bottles.
At this time, the system also gave the redemption opportunity to Xiao Lejia.
"Shooting of a small commercial." The system said, "Someone in the backstage will send you a cooperation invitation. I will read it to you when the time comes."
Little Le Jia nodded seriously. With the opportunity to make money and his sister's mind reading, the brother and sister have always been able to distinguish between good and bad people, so they have never suffered any losses.
While his aunt was washing bean sprouts, he whispered to his sister about the way to make money this time.
"Brother." Xiao Le'an grabbed his clothes and shook him, "Can't we stay with Auntie? She's having a hard time too."
Before, little Le Jia had always been resistant to sharing ways to make money, but now he hesitated.
"My aunt doesn't have a job." Xiao Le'an was very worried. "The mountain will be empty."
Yue Qing, who didn't know what the two kids were discussing, turned around and curled his lip: "Why are you still sitting there? Go wash your hands. You can eat soon."
Xiao Le'an sighed softly, "Auntie is so poor, yet she still smiles at us. It's like something out of a TV show."
She imitated him: "'Auntie is not hungry, you eat', that's it."
Little Le Jia lowered his head in empathy, because he had said the same thing to his sister when they only had one small loaf of bread.
His aunt filmed a video for them and bought a mini so he could not be a bad boy.
"Yes!" He nodded decisively, "Let's take her with us to make some money!"
The system that was reading out the backend merchant cooperation information to them: "..."
Before it could think of how to persuade them, little Le Jia pulled his sister out of the kitchen. The two cubs huddled in the bathroom and opened the merchant's dialog box to send a voice message.
"Hello." Little Le Jia, feeling that he had shouldered the heavy responsibility of supporting his family, sat upright and said to the merchant on the other end, "Excuse me, can I bring an adult?"
The merchant who responded: “?”
What kind of statement is this that goes against Tiangang?
