Back in Nangang New Town, Fang Nan deliberately kept his distance from Lin Quan and only behaved as an assistant. The car entered the Xizhai community, Lin Quan got out of the car with Siyu in his arms, and asked Fang Nan to come down to eat at home together, Fang Nan sat on the seat and did not move, avoiding Lin Quan's eyes, and said: "I won't go, my mother is still waiting for me at home, you can take Siyu over, don't spoil her too much." ”

Lin Quan thought that Geng Yimin would come back later, so he didn't insist, and pushed open the iron gate with Siyu and entered the courtyard of flowers and grass.

Brother-in-law Yang Ming was holding the six-month-old baby in the yard next door, Lin Quan was not in a hurry to enter the house, pushed open the gardening iron gate in the middle of the two courtyards, reached out and pinched his nephew's chubby little face, and asked Yang Ming: "Where is Sister Jingyi?" Siyu also learned from Lin Quan to pinch Xiao Chen Xiao's face, obviously treating him as a toy, and his fingers crossed Xiao Chen Xiao's nose without paying attention, and Chen Xiao cried when he was in pain.

Lin Quan hurriedly separated the two little ghosts, Jing Yi ran out of the house, stood on the steps and reprimanded Lin Quan: "Is there an uncle like you?" I have to make Chen Xiao cry every time. ”

Lin Quan smiled and said, "Secretary Geng will come to our house for dinner in a while, and Yang Ming will come over to have some wine together." ”

Yang Ming took his parents to Jinghai, and the food of the two families was divided, Lin Jingyi didn't care, people ate wherever they were during the meal, but Yang Ming's parents were a little stubborn in these details, if it wasn't for the Lin family's official treat, they wouldn't come here to share the table, Yang Ming naturally had to take care of his parents' mood, and it was easy not to eat next door.

The Lin family is not visible in Jinghai, Lin Mingda and Lin Quan are not people with flamboyant surnames, maybe not many people in the entire Jinghai City have heard of Lin Quan's name. After Yang Ming transferred his work to Jinghai TV, he deeply felt that Lin Quan's influence in the city was so great. Yang Ming has been a reporter in the provincial city of Mingyue Weekly for four or five years, but he didn't see a big future, and he was transferred to Jinghai TV, and when the director first met, he asked him if he had any experience as a producer, Yang Ming honestly replied no, the director hesitated for a while, and then asked Yang Ming if he was willing to accept the position of assistant producer, and he was really afraid that Yang Ming would refuse on the spot. Yang Ming has worked in the TV station for half a year, and after figuring out the links that the producer is responsible for, the station asked him to be in charge of an entertainment column, and he was not afraid that he would mess things up.

If he does something badly, he may not have to bear any responsibility, but he should just face the somewhat weird gaze of others? Especially Taili takes care of Yang Ming, and the assistants he is equipped with are very comprehensive, in fact, Yang Ming is not easy in his heart, and he has been working harder than anyone else. Lin Jingyi felt sorry for Yang Ming, and wanted to transfer Yang Ming to a relaxed department, Lin Mingda knew about it, and didn't let Jingyi interfere with it, Yang Ming returned to Jinghai with Lin Jingyi, money is no longer a problem, but only by putting in more effort than ordinary people can they gain dignity.

Geng Yimin couldn't arrive at the West Mansion until twelve o'clock, his father Lin Mingda hadn't come back from school yet, and Lin Quan was teasing Siyu and Chen Xiao in the yard while talking to Yang Ming about the TV station.

Lin Mingda and Geng Yimin got out of the No. 1 car of the Municipal Party Committee first, Lin Jingyi took his son from Yang Ming's hand and asked Lin Mingda: "Where did Dad get into Secretary Geng's car?" ”

"When I walked to the gate of the community, I knew he was coming, so I waited outside the school gate."

"It's better to buy a car, and you don't let the driver pick you up."

"Let the driver pick you up," Lin Mingda smiled, "My salary can't afford to support the driver." ”

"Dad, why don't you adjust your salary? The provost's salary below you is a cut higher than yours, and if you insist on doing this, it will make the people below very confused, Zhou Shan Mingli didn't dare to say it, he still had opinions in his stomach. ”

"You still insist on not raising your salary," Geng Yimin looked at Lin Mingda, and then at Lin Quan, "What are you father and son fighting for, aren't you stuffing your own money in your own pocket?" I don't think Lao Lin will continue to serve as the principal, the matter of the West House Fund is enough for you to worry about. A few days ago, during the long vacation, I heard that you have been in Luo Ran, how is Luo Ran's education club doing? ”

"You have to ask Xiao Yan about this, Xiao Yan is the chairman of the board." Lin Mingda waved his hands and looked at Lin Quan playfully.

At the beginning of the year, it was decided that the operation direction of the Xizhai Fund would be mainly tilted towards public welfare education in poor areas in the central and western regions. Although Lin Quan invested nearly half of the initial principal of the fund, since the fund was officially tilted towards public welfare education in the western region, he, the nominal chairman, has invested far less energy in the operation of the fund than several other directors, and he has less concern for the public welfare affairs that the foundation is doing.

"Oh, I don't know very much about that." Lin Quan was embarrassed to look at Lin Mingda's eyes, "I was about to invite Ding Xiangrong and Xu Lan to Jinghai to ask about the situation, since Dad has been to Luo Ran, why don't you tell me first." ”

"You are embarrassed to mention Ding Xiangrong and his family, when I went to Luo Ran, Ding Xiangrong was tired and lay down, and he lost his face, I went to Luo Ran in early October, he was still hanging salt water, and he went to the scene with salt water in one hand. Almost all the affairs of the education club are supported by him alone, have you ever cared about it? Lin Mingda was a little moved, and asked Lin Quan, "You see that I am not pleasing to the eye in the position of the principal of the West House, I am about to quit this position, who likes to do it for whom, I will go to Luo Ran next month, I can't let Ding Xiangrong support him alone, what is the problem with him really tired, you don't feel guilty, I don't want to go." ”

Lin Quan felt guilty in his heart, and didn't think about defending himself. In other places, he may not have time to pay attention to millions of small affairs, but his father Lin Mingda invested great enthusiasm and energy in public welfare education, Lin Quan did not dare to find such an excuse for being beaten. Ding Xiangrong and Xu Lan were originally hired by him to be in charge of the specific affairs of the West House Fund. Ding Xiangrong was tired, but he didn't know, it was really unreasonable.

"Is Lao Ding okay?" Lin Quan asked worriedly, "Dad, Brother Yang Ming, you first accompany Uncle Geng into the house to talk for a while, and I'll call Luo Ran." ”

Lin Mingda saw that Lin Quan's expression didn't look like a fake, his face softened, and said, "You hurry up and call them to greet them, the person you picked is really good, don't make people feel cold." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Linquan called Ding Xiangrong and Xu Lan and briefly inquired about the situation of the education club. At the beginning of the year, the fund invested nearly three million funds into the Luoran Education Society, which was used to establish the public welfare education system to which the Luoran Education Society belongs, and this year will build 17 village schools.

Ding Xiangrong's management ability is good, but his personal surname makes Lin Quan worry about whether his body can afford it, listening to his father Lin Mingda mention Luo Ran's situation, Lin Quan feels very guilty in his heart, he has indeed pressed the affairs of the foundation on Ding Xiangrong's shoulders for most of the past six months. Ding Xiangrong was not only responsible for the preparation of the construction of 17 village primary schools, but also responsible for the preparation of the Luoran Education Society and the six branches and junior high schools under it. It's easy to spend three million dollars, but it's definitely not easy to spend three million dollars on the edge.

Lin Quan heard his father Lin Mingda reveal that he was going to resign from the Xizhai Middle School and go to Luo Ran to deal with the affairs of the education club full-time, and his feelings were also very conflicted. Luo Ran's conditions are very difficult, and it is even harder to deal with the affairs of the education club, Lin Quan is reluctant, but for his father, who has been upright all his life, there is no career more suitable for him.

Lin Quan ended the brief call with Ding Xiangrong, returned to the living room, sat on the sofa opposite his father, and said, "Uncle Geng is also here, I have thought about what you said, as long as you can convince your mother, I will support you in principle." Glancing back, he saw his mother Chen Xiu preparing tableware in the restaurant, and said weakly, "If my mother resolutely disagrees, I will only violate my principles." ”

Geng Yimin laughed and said: "Miss Xiu is the most powerful in the family, Luo Ran's conditions are very difficult, Lao Lin, can your body eat enough?" ”

Chen Xiu heard the people in the living room talking about her, and looked over: "What are you talking about, get ready, prepare, it's time to start the banquet." ”

Lin Quan rubbed his hands and stood up, squeezing his eyes to look at his father, thinking that his mother would not be willing to let his father suffer this hardship, and he was proud. Lin Mingda slapped his big feet and laughed: "You are still playing tricks with me, I have already discussed this matter with your mother." ”

"Impossible, right?" Lin Quan looked at his father Lin Mingda suspiciously, "How could my mother agree to let you go to Luo Ran?" ”

"I seem to have mentioned this at dinner last time, and Dad convinced Mom?" Yang Ming proved for Lin Mingda next to him.

"How is that possible?" Lin Quan walked to the restaurant and asked his mother Chen Xiu, "Mom, you know that Dad is going to Luo Ran." ”

"Let him go," Chen Xiu sighed, "so that he won't be angry with me at home every day." ”

"What's the matter, you kid is playing the wrong eye, right?" Lin Mingda showed smugness on his face, and stepped into the restaurant with Geng Yimin, while Yang Ming went to prepare the drinks.

Lin Quan smiled helplessly, dragged away the chairs for his father and Geng Yimin, and stood waiting for Yang Ming to bring the red wine that had been opened and poured wine for everyone.

Lin Mingda picked up the wine glass in his hand and said to Lin Quan: "If you agree to this matter, I will inform Kong Limin in the afternoon." ”

"I'm just the nominal chairman, since you are no longer the principal, I think the chairman will be suitable for you, and the affairs of the teachers' association, are you also in charge?"

"Don't play these tricks," Lin Mingda shook his head: "I'm still used to dealing with practical affairs, and I'm not good at financial management, so the chairman might as well give it to Mr. Kong, his enthusiasm for public welfare affairs is incomparable to you." ”

Lin Quan smiled bitterly at Geng Yimin, and said self-deprecatingly: "The struggle in our family is really fierce, I just don't want him to work too hard, but let him want to be like this." ”

Geng Yimin laughed and said, "Lao Lin goes to Luo Ran, I support it." He picked up his wine glass, raised it in front of Lin Mingda, and said, "Lao Lin, we have known each other for so many years, I think I am a pragmatist, and I do things with the waves, you are an idealist, I used to think that you would bend your back before reality, but for decades, your character has always made me admire." It's not like Jinghai, you go to Luo Ran, you can do something, and let your idealism have a place to play, I want to toast you here. ”

Lin Mingda and Geng Yimin clinked glasses and took a sip of wine, looked at Lin Quan opposite, and said, "Is Liantou investing more in public welfare?" ”

Lin Quan put down his wine glass, hugged his head and made a look of wanting to cry without tears: "Dad, you are not a member of the Xizhai Fund now, why did this tone change immediately?" ”

"Entrepreneurs get wealth from society, and of course they have to give back to society, and you want you to be such a person." Lin Mingda smiled lightly and looked at Lin Quan's face.

"Isn't it a return to society to increase the total amount of social wealth, pay a total of 500 million or 600 million yuan in profits and taxes to the state over the past few years, and create more than 2,000 job opportunities?" Lin Quan began to quibble about what he was good at.

"What is your purpose in accumulating wealth?" Lin Mingda obviously didn't want to let Lin Quan go easily, "Compared to what you get, how much do you pay and how much you get in return, is the ratio between this appropriate?" ”

Chen Xiu was bored listening to it on the side, she didn't want Lin Mingda to go to Luo Ran, and across the table, she sandwiched a piece of chicken breast into Lin Mingda's bowl: "Quickly plug your mouth, isn't it a debate?" With this amount of money from the foundation, you have to run to Luo Ran and invest a little more, isn't your public welfare going to the moon? ”

Lin Quan laughed when he heard this, and proudly touched the cup with his mother Chen Xiu, after eating, the table was left to Chen Xiu and Jingyi to clean up, Lin Quan and Geng Yimin, Lin Mingda, and Yang Ming went to the study to chat, and before they walked through the living room, they heard Jingyi complaining in the back: "It's better to let Dad, the old stubborn, go to Luo Ran, the family just invites two nannies, up and down these two sets of large rooms to clean, not half a day does not come, he does not work, I don't know the back pain." ”

Lin Mingda smiled bitterly, spread his hands to Geng Yimin, and said, "I am in this family, and I am a minority. ”

went to the study and sat down, while his father Lin Mingda was talking with Geng Yimin, Lin Quan turned on the phone, checked the information, and after a while, poured himself a glass of water, sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and said: "Dad, if you don't ask for it, I will also invest some assets in the foundation this year." I estimated that the total value of about 100 million yuan, including one-third of the equity of Xizhai Education Group and some assets leased to Xizhai Education Group, was about 100 million, and I transferred the assets to the foundation at the end of the year. ”

Listening to Lin Quan say this, Lin Mingda, Geng Yimin, and Yang Ming were quite surprised, to know that Xizhai Middle School, the core asset of Xizhai Education Group, has increased its reputation after the outbreak of 02 years, and the results of this year's college entrance examination are slightly worse than those in 02, but considering various factors, it has laid the foundation for Xizhai Middle School to become a famous school in Jinghai. At the beginning, Tianxing Lake, Liantou and Nantou invested heavily to cast the aristocratic education system of Nangang New Town, which has exuded the light of success.

"Are you really willing to hand over the equity of the West House?" Lin Mingda asked uncertainly, "I know how much enthusiasm and energy you put into it." ”

"The original intention of buying Xinghu Middle School was just to create a good education system for Nangang New Town, and I didn't want to make money directly from education. Lin Quan explained, silent for a while, "It is precisely because of my enthusiasm that I thought about handing over these things to the Foundation, and I now smell of copper, and I don't want my original enthusiasm and dreams to change the taste." ”
