Chapter Ninety-Five: A Billion
In Dongzhou City, you can not know who the world chief is, but you must know who Ling Xiao is.
And this is definitely not an exaggeration.
Ling Xiao is so famous, not only because he is rich, but also because his charity and public welfare are very good, so far the donation has reached 10 billion, but also with his own strength, to drive the economic development of Dongzhou City, which was originally only a third-tier Dongzhou City, among the second-tier.
Therefore, he is a legendary figure in Dongzhou City, and he can't think of being famous.
In comparison, Ling Fan is far from his father, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a tiger father and a dog.
But this can't be too blamed on Ling Fan, after all, Ling Fan grew up in Ling Xiao's poor education from childhood to adulthood, unlike those super rich second generations, who learned everything from Xiaoqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, aristocratic etiquette, etc., and then went abroad for further study in college, and when he came back, he was labeled as a turtle, and he looked superior everywhere.
The starting point is high, the lower limit is high, no matter how it is, they all feel better and better than ordinary people.
Ling Fan has not been trained at all, nor has he ever gone abroad, but he has been admitted to a local university, and his life is completely no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, Ling Fan wants to be excellent, but he can't be excellent.
Step up your game?
It's not that Ling Fan hasn't worked hard, after all, if he doesn't work hard, he may not even be able to get into college.
In terms of achievements, Ling Fan is not as good as his father now.
In terms of fame, it can't be compared.
All in all, in front of Ling Xiao, Ling Fan was completely useless.
Moreover, since he was a child, Ling Xiao has not been particularly close to him, and has always been the appearance of Yan's father, so Ling Fan always feels afraid in his heart when he sees Ling Xiao now.
This is also just now, why Ling Fan saw Ling Xiao, just like a mouse saw a cat.
"Sir!"
Steward Zhou and Zhou Mo both bowed slightly and shouted.
Ling Xiao nodded, then walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down.
Ling Fan originally wanted to sit, but when he saw Ling Xiao sitting, he didn't dare to sit anymore, so he could only stand obediently beside him, standing with Steward Zhou, Zhou Mo, and those nannies.
Ling Xiao raised his eyes to look at Ling Fan at this time, and said in a cold tone, "Why are you coming back?" ”
"I..."Ling Fan originally wanted to say something, but he was a little afraid to say it at this time, "I'll come back to see you, Dad, you still look so young as before!" ”
This is not a compliment, but a fact.
Ling Fan only felt that his father, like Steward Zhou, had not changed at all, and he was still the same as he remembered, so young.
Ling Xiao snorted coldly: "Would you be so kind to come back to see me?" I've been in charge of you since I was a child, and I don't like you, so when I was a child, I sent you to live in school, and other children were crying, but you were very happy, you wanted to stay away from me, to be honest, what are you doing when you come back! ”
"Hehe, Dad, what you said is a bit too much, I was ignorant when I was a child, but now that I have grown up, I know what filial piety is, so come and see you, is it also human nature!" Ling Fan paused and scratched his head embarrassedly, "But if you want to say something, it's really something." ”
Ling Xiao didn't speak, just nodded slightly, motioning for Ling Fan to continue.
Ling Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, last time I asked Steward Zhou, Steward Zhou said that our family recently invested in a new project, and all the funds were invested in it, is this true?" ”
"It's true." Ling Xiao continued, "What, you want money? Didn't I let Lao Zhou arrange a company for you to manage, and all the proceeds would belong to you? ”
Ling Fan smiled bitterly: "The company's profit is too small, last year's profit, this year has been put back into operation, there is no money at all, the money in my hand now is still borrowed from Steward Zhou and that Zhao Jun." ”
"In that case, I'll give you some." Ling Xiao looked at Steward Zhou, "Old Zhou, on the table in the study, there is a card with a billion deposit, you go and get it for Xiaofan." ”
Steward Zhou paused: "Master, what about the new project?" ”
Ling Xiao didn't care and said: "It's only a billion yuan, and it can't affect the operation of the project, my Ling Xiao's son, I don't have any money in my hands, and I have to find a subordinate to borrow it, and it's not like a word to spread it." ”
When Ling Fan heard this, he gasped.
Damn, billion?
Mamma Mia, aren't you going to get rich now?
Steward Zhou said at this time: "Okay master, I'll go get it." ”
Ling Fan muttered in his heart: "Damn, there is obviously money in the family, it seems that Steward Zhou deliberately didn't give me money!" ”
In fact, Steward Zhou didn't give Ling Fan money, but he didn't dare to move the money, and if he did, he didn't dare to give it to Ling Fan.
Immediately, Steward Zhou turned around and walked towards the study.
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Fan again: "What else do you need besides money?" What I didn't give you before, I can satisfy you now. ”
Ling Fan paused, and then asked, "Dad, what is our new project?" Steward Zhou said that this was confidential and could not be told to me. ”
"I really can't tell you." Ling Xiao said without denying it, "Do you know why? ”
"Why?" Ling Fan's eyes widened and said, "Am I not your son?" Can't even say that? ”
Ling Xiao explained: "You are my son, but it is precisely because you are that I can't tell you, because you know, it will only harm you, I did this to protect you, remember the last time, you went to the Wanhui Hotel to attend a banquet, and met the group of robbers?" ”
Ling Fan nodded: "Remember." ”
Ling Xiao said again: "Those robbers have been caught by me contacting the police, and the black python escaped, but this matter was not revealed to the outside world, after interrogation, I learned that they are just a group of mercenaries, and there is a more secret existence behind them to instruct them, they are ostensibly hijacking you to ask for money, in fact, it is to get a new project from your mouth, once you are caught, even if you don't say it, they have a way to force you to say, so, don't tell you, in fact, protect you!" ”
The black python is hired by others, and they ask for money to catch Ling Fan, but they just want to make an extra profit.
Once Ling Fan is caught, they will get the money from Ling Xiao, and they will not let Ling Fan go, but will take Ling Fan away and hand it over to the people who hired them.
Once Ling Fan falls into the hands of his employer, it is estimated that he will be subjected to all kinds of torture to extract a confession.
"I see!" Ling Fan suddenly realized, and then a little glad that he was in a hurry, otherwise, he didn't know what kind of suffering he would have to suffer, "Okay, I still don't ask about this, it seems that as the saying goes, the less you know, the older you live!" ”
Ling Xiao looked at Zhou Mo at this time: "Xiao Qi, there are no suspicious people recently, who have contacted Xiao Fan." ”
Zhou Mo shook his head: "No." ”
Ling Xiao nodded: "Okay, then you continue to follow Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan's safety will be handed over to you." ”
Zhou Mo's attitude towards Ling Xiao was very different from that towards Ling Fan, and he said respectfully and loyally: "Don't worry, master, I will swear to protect Young Master Ling Fan to the death." ”
Ling Fanyou asked, "Dad, don't you want to send me a few more, can she do it alone?" ”
Ling Xiao asked rhetorically, "How many more?" You think lightly, do you know how much time and effort it takes to cultivate someone like Xiaoqi? Don't worry, just one of her, it's enough to keep you safe, just those robbers last time, if you meet them again, there is Xiaoqi, not to mention that they are all solved, if you want to take you to escape, it will definitely be easy. ”
Ling Fan looked at Zhou Mo: "Okay." ”
At this time, Steward Zhou came back, holding a bank card in his hand, and walked up to Ling Fan: "Young Master Ling Fan, this card is for you!" ”
Ling Fan took it and said, "Okay, I owe you money, and I'll pay you back later." ”
Steward Zhou smiled slightly: "Don't worry." ”
Holding the card, Ling Fan did not rush to put it in his pocket, but looked at Ling Xiao again, and stopped talking.
Ling Xiao saw his thoughts, and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask it once, next time we meet again, I don't know how long it will take." ”
Ling Fan nodded: "Then let me ask one last question, Dad, have you already planned my life?" ”
Ling Xiao admitted: "Yes, this year, you can have a good time, you can go crazy as you want, but starting next year, I will let you return to the headquarters of the Ling Group and try to start operation and management, if you can do it, it is estimated that within three or five years, I will completely abdicate and take over the Ling Group by you." ”
"I can arrange these things at your disposal." Ling Fan gritted his teeth, "But what about my marriage?" Have you arranged it for me? ”
