Chapter 22: Into the Circle
Early the next morning, Lin Shuimo, who slept late, received a call from Lin Huaiyu before she got up, and her grandfather, who had always been deep and indifferent, trembled slightly with excitement on the phone, although he was trying his best to hide and try to calm himself down, Lin Shuimo still heard the obvious trill.
His excitement was not without reason, because early in the morning, Lin Congzheng received a phone call that could be said to be the dream of the Lin family in the southwest, the call came from the office of the political dignitaries of the Yinlonghai Empire, and the life secretary of Deputy Prime Minister Chen of the Cabinet invited Lin Congzheng and Lin Huaiyu to attend President Chen's family banquet together in the evening.
The other party didn't reveal much information on the phone, but this seemingly simple invitation was enough to shock the entire Kyushu Chenglin family.
January 15.
Dinner.
The two words are really reverie, if Mr. Chen on the high hall made up his mind to give a promise, that is, to call Lin Congzheng to have a meal and chat together, and most of them will not choose today's festival, nor will they use the family banquet, which seems formal in comparison, but since the other party chose to invite the Kyushu Chenglin family on today's special day, then it can only explain one thing.
Lin Huaiyu, Lin Congzheng, and even Lin Shuimo all thought of a possibility.
At today's extraordinary family banquet, they are likely to see Vice Prime Minister Chen's husband, the emperor who is truly angry!
It's hard to think about the significance of this, but facing the emperor is definitely more important than getting the royal family's personal promise.
"Ink, you clean up, go out and buy a set of clothes today, and we'll go over together in the evening. β
Lin Huaiyu laughed and said, his mood was unusually comfortable, and the depression that had been suppressed for many days was swept away, and with the direct support from the royal family, facing the Southwest Lin family again, his confidence was extraordinarily sufficient.
Lin Shuimo was lying on the bed, and after the surprise, she was still a little uncomfortable, and the surprise was that the Lin family in Kyushu City, which was weak and weak, finally had a strong backer that made people shudder, and the discomfort was because of a little subtle mentality in her heart.
Even with a strong bodyguard like Lin Xiaocao, even if Lin Xiao has become a thing of the past, but because of the hesitation of his father and grandfather, Lin Shuimo has never been too determined to resist anything, and even many times, she still has the idea of saving the family even if she sacrifices herself at the last moment, so she has been putting herself in a very tragic environment these days, and now the world in front of her suddenly seems to be clear, and Lin Shuimo is a little overwhelmed.
"Grandpa, you go, I won't go. Xiaobai and Uncle Bai quarreled, and I stayed with her. β
Lin Shuimo took the phone and sighed lightly, because of the contradictory relationship with Lin Xiaocao last night, she was still a little struggling in her heart whether to go home, she even planned to make up her mind to let Lin Xiaocao send her back, and then see if the man really didn't enter the house and chose to wait outside for a day, but now it seems that there is no need to go back, and the plan really can't catch up with the changes.
"Well, it's okay, there's still a chance in the future. β
On the phone, Lin Huaiyu hesitated a little and agreed, his original plan was to bring his granddaughter over, after all, since it was a family banquet, it could not be only the emperor and Mr. Chen, at least the son of the two Wang Tongtian must be there, maybe Wang Bolong, the heir of the royal family known as the prince, will also pass, they are all young people, opposites attract, Lin Huaiyu naturally has his own little abacus in his heart, he dare not say that his granddaughter has great wisdom, but he was evaluated stunningly, Lin Huaiyu did not blush at all, if he could get together with a real young man of the Wang family, Lin Huaiyu would wake up laughing in his dreamsγ
Lin Shuimo didn't realize the meaningful hesitation in his grandfather's tone, and couldn't sleep anymore after hanging up the phone, so he simply got up and walked out of the room, saw the door of the guest room open, and was stunned for a moment, and then sure enough, he found Lin Xiaocao who was eating breakfast alone in the restaurant.
"Just bought it and ate it hot. β
Lin Xiaocao took the initiative to speak, his tone was plain, no different from usual, and he couldn't see that the two had a fierce quarrel and conflict last night.
"Oh. β
Lin Shuimo had a cold and charming face, his face was expressionless, and he looked at the breakfast on the table, soy milk fritters, plus two side dishes, simple couldn't be simpler.
Turned around and walked to Bai Yang's room to call Bai Yang, and while Sister Bai was getting up, Lin Shuimo, who was still expressionless just now, had already begun to happily discuss where to play today.
Detached from the tragic atmosphere of self-reverie, Lin Shuimo seems to be in a good mood, although the battle between the officials is not long, but it is pressed on the head of Lin Shuimo's family, which can be called a year, although tonight grandpa and father are likely to see the emperor, but whether the father can get to that position is far from the point where the general trend has been decided, but with the support of the Wang family, the status quo of the Lin family in Kyushu City has basically been completely reversed, and in the face of Lin Fengxue, it will not be as powerless as before, it can be said that the biggest crisis of the Lin family in Kyushu City has passed, only opportunities remain, it is best to win, and it will not be completely destroyed if you lose, Lin Shuimo's mood at this time has no reason not to be excited, the first time to tell the good news to the poplar.
"Would you like to get together with a few friends?"
Lin Shuimo looked at Bai Yangdao, who was sitting on the dresser combing his hair, his eyes were shining.
"Can you find someone? Little Nizi, I think you're overexcited. β
Poplar combed his hair.
"Huh?"
Lin Shuimo was a little puzzled, but then reacted and smiled bitterly.
Although the two of them are both feudal officials at the level of the governor of a province, but in fact the social circle is not wide, each other is each other's only best friends, belonging to the kind of people who will talk to each other no matter what, of course, there are many ordinary friends, but the Kyushu City Lin family is now on the cusp, squeezed in the middle of the two major factions, except for Bai Yang, everyone else has intentionally or unintentionally avoided Lin Shuimo, after all, not everyone knows that the Kyushu City Lin family is about to get the exact promise of the Wang family, even if they say it, it is estimated that the majority of people who doubt the truth of the news in their hearts are also the majority, and those who know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages are a little too much, I'm afraid that only after the dust settles on this incident will I continue to surround it.
"You can't do nothing, can you?"
Lin Shuimo muttered quietly, walked into the restaurant with Bai Yang one after another, and sat opposite Lin Xiaocao.
"Early. β
Sister Xiaobai took the initiative to say hello, picked up a fritter and handed it to Lin Shuimo.
Lin Xiaocao nodded, coaxing.
The little white sister who couldn't stand this was entangled for a while, rolled her eyes and drank it, and subconsciously licked the corners of her mouth, and the whole person suddenly overflowed with an unusually charming woman's taste.
A sudden ringing of a mobile phone.
Lin Shuimo took a bite of the fritters, returned to his room and took the mobile phone to look at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number, so he didn't think much about it, and pressed the answer button casually: "Hey, hello." β
On the phone, a gentle and elegant voice chuckled: "Is it ink? Hello, I'm Chen Qingyu." β
Chen Qingyu
Lin Shuimo silently read the name, and then suddenly remembered who it was, opened his mouth slightly, and was stunned for a while, before he was a little uncertain: "Is it Senior Sister Qingyu?"
"It's me. Ink, that's right, Mr. Tang of the Wang Group will hold a lecture tour in the major universities of the empire in the near future, and our Huaqing is the first stop, I heard that the last time Mr. Tang came, the venue was arranged by you and Poplar, and Mr. Tang liked it very much. So if you have time, can you go back to school and help me out?"
Chen Qingyu smiled, her voice was very soft, not charming, and even a little clear when she listened carefully, but it seemed to be a pleasure to listen to in people's ears.
"Well, okay, we'll go over now. β
Lin Shuimo, who was thinking about where to go, responded in a daze, and still couldn't react for a while.
"Okay, I'll be my own people in the future, and I'll introduce two friends to you. β
Chen Qingyu chuckled and hung up the phone.
Lin Shuimo was stunned for a while, came to the restaurant with his mobile phone, and sat in his position, in a trance, with a ruddy face.
"What's wrong? Who's the call?"
Bai Yang scolded with a smile, reached out and pinched Lin Shuimo's little face.
"Mr. Tang is preparing for a national university tour recently, and the first stop is our Huaqing University. β
Lin Shuimo said with a smile, the already excited mood this morning became more and more high, she slapped off the palm of the poplar and said with a smile: "You are the nymphomaniac." β
"Mr. Tang?"
Bai Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said, "No, why didn't I get the news?"
"The phone call that Senior Sister Chen Qingyu gave me just now should be internal information, and said that if we have time, we can rush over to help decorate the venue, and said that a friend would introduce me to him. β
Lin Shuimo smiled, but his eyes were still a little puzzled.
Chen Qingyu, female, 26 years old, a man of the year in economic management at Huaqing University, completed all the credits in less than two years, and studied for a doctorate directly after her senior year.
Beautiful, witty, generous, gentle, if such a woman is enough to make men daunting in terms of talent, she is definitely a god-level character that can be described perfectly, and if there is a terrifying family background behind such a character, it is simply an inexplicable existence.
Chen Qingyu is such a woman, she entered Huaqing University a year earlier than Lin Shuimo and Baiyang, until now, she has walked through Lin Shuimo in front of her, walked through Baiyang, and walked through countless young and beautiful senior sisters and sisters, but no one can shake her name as the first school flower of Huaqing.
It's not that no one is hot-headed and impulsively played her crooked idea when the pursuit is crazy, but these people, no matter what hole cards they have, eventually disappear without a trace, and the world evaporates.
There is Lao Tzu, who is now the deputy head of the military department, an aunt who is about to become the first female prime minister of the empire, and an uncle who is called His Majesty the Emperor by countless people, just mentioning these names is enough to suppress most of the restless animals.
"Senior Sister Qingyu, why did she call you suddenly?"
Poplar frowned and muttered to himself.
They know Chen Qingyu, but in the past four years, most of the time is just to meet and nod, far from being acquainted, not even friends, the huge Kyushu City, Chen Qingyu is considered the top child, and Poplar Lin Ink and Wash are not at the same level at all, there is a father in the royal family Poplar may be able to squeeze into Chen Qingyu's circle, but she obviously did not go in to be a phoenix tail consciousness, so it has always been lukewarm to communicate with each other, today suddenly called Ink, and introduced a few friends, which one is this troubleοΌ
Lin Shuimo bit the fritters slowly, remembering that his grandfather and father were about to attend the Wang family's family banquet today, and thinking of Chen Qingyu's sentence that everyone is their own person, thoughtfully.
Chen Qingyu's phone call, asking her to help, is fake, and it is true that she intends to pull Lin Shuimo into that circle, which seems to prove the determination of the Wang family to support the Lin family in Kyushu City.
After all, that circle is too small, except for the wealthy family, the eldest and youngest of the small families are the sons and daughters of those leaders in the decision-making bureau sequence, and the daughter of the governor of a province squeezed in, obviously, but it is inconspicuous, but if his father can take a step further, then it seems justifiable to enter that circle.
Walk into that circle.
Lin Shuimo smiled, his eyes were complicated and self-deprecating-
Grass.
I slapped myself in the face again and had something to do today, I went out for a while, and I came back in the evening, and I was in a hurry to code words, and I have been tossing until now, damn, I said that I had two more today, and I pumped my face
The second one is a bit hanging, beg for forgiveness
The next is not an example
