Chapter 21: The Trap
This is Lin Lang's private matter, it is inconvenient to say it in front of so many people, in fact, even if he says it, they will not look down on him because of this, and this money will not enter their eyes.
Zhao Hongmei spread out her hands and looked around at her relatives and friends: "Everyone has seen it, if we don't check Xiaoxue, all cats and dogs will be mixed into our Bai family." ”
Hearing this, the people of the Bai family began to talk nonsense: "Eight thousand in a month is indeed a little less, and now the price is rising very quickly." ”
"And he doesn't even have a house, does he plan to become a son-in-law when he gets married?"
"Hey, there are more people like this now, Xiaoxue has never been in love, she is still too immature in this regard, and her identity is not equal, so you have to think more about it in this regard to see if the other party has other plans. ”
"That's right. ”
Bai Shengxue was quite calm, ignoring their discussions, the two respected old men were also very calm, Liang Chen was on the phone, and he didn't seem to care about this discussion, as for Bai Xiaotian, his posture has never changed, his eyes and nose are looking at his heart, and he closes his eyes and recuperates.
In the end, Zhao Hongmei made a summary with a provocative question: "Mr. Lin, since you have nothing, why did you marry our Xiaoxue?"
It's your Xiaoxue who has to marry me, and it's not that I want to marry her, so I don't want to marry her. Lin Lang wanted to say this, but unfortunately he couldn't say this kind of thing if he thought about it.
At this time, someone suddenly answered Zhao Hongmei's question for him.
"No one was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, fourth aunt, you always grasp these questions, is it interesting, are you emphasizing the class gap and consciously superior?"
Lin Lang followed the sound and saw a girl sitting in the corner of the private room, in her early twenties, wearing a dark blue NY cap, and her long straight hair dyed chestnut poured down the brim of the hat and hung down to the loose sweatshirt.
Casual, casual, stylish and beautiful.
"That's my cousin Bai Xiangyue, who has just returned from college in the United States, a little anthropologist. Bai Shengxue explained to Lin Lang in a low voice.
No wonder he put the word class on his lips, it turned out to be a top student studying anthropology.
Today's matter has nothing to do with Bai Xiangyue, Zhao Hongmei didn't want her to get involved, so she made an excuse to send her: "Xiaoyue, go to the box next door to find your mother, your mother is not in good health, you have to pay attention to eating." ”
"My dad is there. ”
"Then you can read with peace of mind, don't worry about it, it's an adult's business. ”
Bai Xiangyue closed the iPad e-book: "Novels are not as exciting as reality, and I would like to remind you that the fourth aunt, I am already an adult, don't always treat me as a child." ”
Contradicting in public like this made Zhao Hongmei a little unable to get off the stage, and her face was very ugly: "Xiaoyue, do you know this Mr. Lin?"
"I don't know, I just think that money is earned by people, not brought by the womb, no money now does not mean that there will be no money in the future, instead of dwelling on these, it is better to examine what kind of person he is, for example, whether he can bear hardships and stand hard work, whether he is inconsistent with what he sees, whether he likes the new and hates the old, this is the standard for measuring a new family member, right?"
After studying in high school and college in the United States for seven years, Bai Xiangyue's way of looking at problems is different from that of many people in the mainland, and even more different from the views of her elders.
Liang Chen also stood up to help: "Hongmei, it's better to inspect it according to this standard." ”
Suddenly, two helpers appeared, and Zhao Hongmei compromised: "Okay, let's not talk about those vulgar things, don't talk about money or family background, just talk about him as a person! Mr. Lin, there is a small company under our group that has not performed very well, and it has changed more than N managers, and its performance has not improved, do you dare to take over, let me see your ability to bear hardships and stand hard work?"
After striding the horse for so long, Lin Lang was also a little tired, so he just stood up and replied: "Then what don't you dare." ”
Bai Shengxue tugged hard at his pants underneath, he felt it, but he didn't change his words.
"That's what you said, gentleman......"
"Whip the horse. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it another day, hand over this company to you, three months as a deadline, if you can't do anything there, you will leave obediently, leave Xiaoxue, and declare first, you run that company, you can't rely on Xiaoxue's connections. ”
"No problem. ”
Lin Lang agreed so happily, Zhao Hongmei was a little surprised, but he agreed anyway, which is good, because it is a small company that mainly operates calendars, and it can't make achievements at all.
Desk calendars, wall calendars, notebooks such small gifts, in the 90s of the last century was once very popular, with some logo or company pictures, and then sold as a small gift to other companies, buy calendar companies generally in the New Year's holidays, these things as a welfare, or directly in the company.
At that time, there were many small gift companies that made hair, but after the millennium, with the rise of the Internet tide, it soon fell into a trough, and no one cared about it, the reason is very simple, it has not been able to keep up with the trend of the times, and it is inevitable to be eliminated.
How can it be possible to make achievements when taking over this kind of company? Zhao Hongmei snorted, waiting to see Lin Lang's joke.
On the other side of the long table, Bai Shengxue was very annoyed and secretly pinched Lin Lang under the table, almost unscrewing the meat off, Lin Lang, who was in pain, gasped and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"Who told you to agree?" Bai Shengxue knew the inside story.
"How can I say that I am also a man, this girl is so arrogant, if I don't agree, I won't let her die of humiliation?"
"You can go over and beat her up. ”
"Didn't you say you can't get angry?"
"Then you can't just take over this kind of shabby company without asking anything, and that mess can't be cleaned up at all. ”
……
Zhao Hongmei knocked on the table triumphantly: "The assessment is not over yet, you two will talk about it later, Mr. Lin, next I want to examine your conduct, are you ready?"
"How many more do you want to look at?"
"This is the last item. ”
"Then you ask. Lin Lang couldn't stand being tossed by them, if he hadn't promised Bai Shengxue that he would endure it, he would have picked his son and left.
Zhao Hongmei walked around the long table, walked in front of Lin Lang, and asked with a smile: "To see how a person's conduct is, the first thing to see is whether he is unreasonable, Mr. Lin, are you a reasonable person?"
"Nonsense, of course, isn't it a scoundrel to be unreasonable?" Lin Lang said angrily.
"Okay, then let me ask you, if I didn't provoke you, you slapped me, I want to slap back, do you think this kind of request is justified?"
Suddenly asking this kind of question, Lin Lang was very puzzled, carefully examined Zhao Hongmei, and made sure that it was the first time he saw this woman, and he had no hatred or resentment, so he nodded calmly: "Reasonable." ”
"Good!"
Zhao Hongmei suddenly turned around and shouted at the door: "Open the door!"
The door of the private room opened, and two burly black-clothed bodyguards pushed Zhao Mingliang in, Zhao Mingliang was sitting in a wheelchair, covered in injuries, staring at Lin Lang with resentment in his eyes, looking like that, he couldn't wait to eat him in one bite.
Lin Lang chuckled in his heart, and suddenly understood why Zhao Hongmei asked this, and also understood why Zhao Mingliang appeared here, today is not a simple meeting with parents at all, all of this is a designed trap.
This is a deliberate revenge!
Zhao Hongmei pointed to the scarred Zhao Mingming: "Mr. Lin, half a month ago, you ran to the door of the Brilliant Group for no reason, and beat our lawyer Zhao Mingliang violently, causing multiple fractures and contusions all over the body, and you ran away after the beating, since you are a reasonable person, then let me ask you, why did you beat him, do you have a grudge against him?"
"I ......"
"Why, can't you tell why?"
The private room was very quiet, the silence of the needle drop could be heard, the silence was like the deepest part of the sea, the silence seemed to be able to hear everyone's breathing, and everyone looked at Lin Lang, including Liang Chen and Bai Xiaotian.
Liang Chen put down the phone in his hand, Bai Xiaotian opened his slightly narrowed eyes, they were waiting for Lin Lang's answer, and they were also waiting for Lin Lang's reaction, but Lin Lang did not react.
At this time, Bai Shengxue also realized that someone was deliberately calculating Lin Lang, thought nervously, and told him in a low voice: "Tell the reason quickly, as long as you say it, I have a way to get you out of this trouble." ”
Lin Lang looked down at the dish in front of him, holding the ceramic wine glass in his hand, and the whole person seemed to be still.
Bai Shengxue couldn't wait for his words, and shook him vigorously: "You said, why did you beat Zhao Mingming?"
Why did you beat Zhao Mingliang, because Chen Jing, because Chen Jing's father Chen Yongkang was angry with Zhao Mingliang, but can this be said openly? No, once it is said, it will bring Chen Jing a lot of trouble.
Because Zhao Mingliang was holding a voice recorder in his hand.
Zhao Hongmei raised her eyebrows and said her ultimate goal in the tone of a victor: "Since you can't tell the reason for the beating, let Lawyer Zhao's bodyguard call back, do you agree? Don't tell me you don't agree, you said yourself that you are a reasonable person, right?"
