Chapter 844, walking on thin ice!
Lin smiled and pushed open the door of the room and saw Tang Zhong sitting on a massage chair soaking his feet.
In the cold winter, Lin Xiaoxiao worked all day in high-heeled leather shoes, returned to his own private space, took off his shoes, lay on the chair to stretch his muscles, soak in hot water, and his whole body and mind became relaxed and happy.
The water was surging, and Tang Chong's body kept changing shape with the movement of the massage chair. His eyes were slightly closed, and he had a faint smile on his face, and he looked very happy, as if he had not been affected by what had just happened.
Lin smiled and changed his slippers, walked to the basin, and reached in to help Tang Chong wash his feet.
Tang Zhong opened his eyes and said, "Do you need to trouble this kind of thing?" It's not like I don't have long hands. β
"Didn't I wash it for you before?" Lin said with a strange smile. "I'm not old yet, so I hate it?"
Tang Zhong looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's stubborn eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Senior sister, in fact, you don't have to be like this. At all times, you are my senior sister. β
A 'senior sister' touched Lin Xiaoxiao's heart, her eyes were rosy, but she forced herself not to shed tears.
She lowered her head and carefully helped Tang Zhong massage the acupuncture points on the foot board.
"My family is in a small county town, my father is a worker in a steel factory, and my mother runs a small shop - although life is not easy, there is food and clothing, and there are two rooms to protect from the wind and rain, so I don't have to worry about the family being cold and hungry."
"Lin Zetao is my elder brother, three years older than me, his academic performance is not bad or bad, and he has always been ranked in the middle of the class. My academic performance was better, and I went from the best elementary school in the county to the best middle school in the county, and from the best middle school in the county to the best high school in the city. β
"Because my brother missed a grade, I was in my third year of high school with him. It was also in the year that the college entrance examination was about to take place, and my father made a mistake while working in a steel factory, and his entire right hand was eaten by the machine. The surveillance video showed that the father was napping at that time, which violated the discipline of the factory, so the factory decided not to take responsibility. β
"I've quarreled with the factory, but my arm still can't break my thigh. In the end, an uncle gave us a plan, helped to make an appointment for dinner with a big man in the county, and gave the big man the money we were going to use for the lawsuit. The big man helped to say a word in the middle, and the factory decided to pay part of the medical bills, and after his father retired, he paid 1,600 yuan a month. β
"Although this is still a bit different from what we asked for before, it is much, much better than not getting anything. This incident touched me a lot, and it made me realize for the first time what kind of dark reality this society really is. β
"All the family's savings are spent in the hospital, and because of the shortage of funds, I also sold my mother's small shop. At that time, the family was destitute. It was also at this time that my brother and I were admitted to university at the same time. I was admitted to the broadcasting and hosting department of NTU that I dreamed of, and my brother was also admitted to a junior college. β
"With the current situation of my family, it is impossible to support two college students at the same time. My parents hesitated for a long time, thinking that my academic performance was better and the school I was admitted to was more famous, and they were ready to let my brother drop out of school, so that they could work together to support me to study alone. β
"I got my wish and entered NTU, but my brother, who only had a high school degree, could only work in a factory. After I entered NTU, I worked part-time, and often made cameo appearances as a model host, and my income was not bad. Coupled with the scholarship awarded by the school every semester, I don't have to ask my family for money, but I can subsidize my family from time to timeβ"
"Still, I feel like I owe it to my brother. The more I gave, the more I felt indebted to him. If he had gone to college at the time, would I still have everything I have now? If he could get an academic certificate, would his life be a little different from what he is now? β
Tang Zhong had already opened his eyes, and all he saw was Lin Xiaoxiao's lowered head and the black hair coiled on the top of his head.
He couldn't see her face, but he could imagine the look on her face at this time.
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Tang Zhong comforted softly. "If he studies better than you, if he can get into a better school than you, he might be the one who gets that place in the school and not you - we are competing all the time, at home, with our siblings and cousins, outside, with colleagues and friends and even some people who pop up out of nowhere. As long as you're ready, you'll always be that winner. β
Tang Zhong stretched out his hand and patted Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What you get, you deserve." Because you put in the effort, you deserve the fruits of victory. If your parents are patriarchal and drop out of school because they think it is more important for their son to go to college and give him a better chance of studying, they should feel guilty about you. Besides, aren't they betting right now? β
From a girl in a small town to a splendid queen who is now a famous pearl, how many such fates and opportunities can be obtained?
Lin Xiaoxiao's parents and family will not regret their original choice when they see their daughter's achievements at this time, right?
"I understand that, but I still want to try to make up for them." Lin said with a smile. "I bought a suite in Mingzhu and brought my parents to live with me, I want to be closer so that I can take better care of them."
"The head of the house has my brother's name written on it, and I think he might use it when he gets married. I arranged for him to work in the Splendid Pavilion, but he had no academic qualifications, no ability, and no work experience - I asked him to work in the computer room of the security department. It's easy and comfortable, and you can get a fixed salary every month. β
"I used to hear people say that a person who attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and I was very disgusted in my heart. Now, am I a living example? Some people are able to keep their part in the face of sudden changes in their lives, while some people have a great change in temperament, because they rely on something, so they do things unscrupulously. β
"I know that he is acting in the security department under my banner, and it is not uncommon for him to arrive late and leave early. I know he's annoying to some of the girls in the Splendid Pavilion - someone has already reported me. However, because he is my brother, I want to have a good talk with him and give him another chance. Even, because he dropped out of school for me - I respect him. β
Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Before I could talk to him, he hit you-"
Tang Chong also laughed and said, "I'm not the king of heaven, what's wrong with him hitting me?" Besides, I'm not a person who is willing to suffer, so don't I teach him a lesson? β
"If only things could be as simple as that." Lin said with a smile.
She lifted Tang Chong's feet out of the basin and took the white towel next to her to help wipe them, and then helped him put on his slippers.
"What could be more complicated?" Tang asked out loud.
Lin Xiaoxiao put away the water in the basin, wiped his hands, and stood behind Tang Chong to help him massage his head.
"I know, Jia Dong suggested that I be paired with an assistant." Lin said with a smile.
The smile on Tang Chong's face froze and said, "Yes, there is such a thing. β
"What do you think?" Lin asked with a smile.
"I believe in you." Tang Zhong said with a deep groan.
"But they don't believe me." Lin said with a smile. "Before, I was still a little unconvinced by Su Shan, but now I know that I am far inferior to her. I take one step and can only look at one step. She took a step and already saw several steps behind. At the beginning, she was reluctant to take over the Splendid Pavilion, I thought she was disgusted with the small stall and did not want to waste time on it. β
"At that time, I was still holding my breath in my heart, and I thought, if you don't want to take over, then just give me a chance. I want to make the Splendid Pavilion bigger and stronger, and I want to open the Splendid Pavilion in the most prosperous cities in the country and even the whole world -- today I know that I am not fighting with her, but with myself. Now, I am stuck in a situation and can't extricate myself. β
This time, Tang Chong was silent again.
Why did Lin Xiaoxiao say that he was trapped in the game and couldn't extricate himself?
Because the Splendid Pavilion is not only a club for the Splendid Group to gather high-end contacts, but also responsible for the construction of Tangzhong's underground intelligence network.
Whether it is connections or intelligence, these two points are the core secrets of the Fairview Group.
In the past, the Splendid Pavilion was only responsible for Tang Chong, and even if others had scruples, they couldn't say anything.
However, with the establishment of the Splendid Group, the Splendid Pavilion has become a subordinate subsidiary of the Splendid Group, and it would be very dangerous to let Lin Smile be in charge of these two key businesses.
That is, with a large number of resources and contacts, and the core information of the Splendid Group, such a person is too important and too important.
If Lin Xiaoxiao betrayed Tang Chong, it would not only be a loss to the entire Splendid Pavilion business, but even a huge loss to the entire Splendid Group.
As a result, Jia Yingying, Su Shan and other high-level executives of Jinxiu suggested to Tang Zhong that Lin Xiaoxiao should be decentralized. The alternate candidate proposed by Jia Yingying was Su Jinyu, and his reason was unexpected and reasonable. With the relationship between Tang Chong and Su Jinyu, no one could have imagined that she would become a poisonous snake in Tang Chong's hands. In addition, she also has experience in managing the Jiangnan Club, and she is no stranger to the operation of the club and the operation of contacts.
Therefore, the last time he went to visit Su Shan, Tang Zhong asked Su Shan what he thought of Su Jinyu. Su Shan did not make any evaluation of Su Jinyu, but he was consistent with Jia Yingying on the matter of decentralization.
In the Splendid Group, Jia Yingying and Su Shan can be consistent on the same thing, and this matter can almost be settled.
Su Shan jumped out, and her current position can be attacked, retreated, and defended. What about me? Lin smiled and his voice was tired. I'm walking on thin ice right now, how can I not be angry with him? β
