Back to Yuki
Lin Yi didn't mention the adoption of Vivian to his mother, and he was already worried all the way on the plane back to China, so he knocked on the door with Vivian in his arms, and was naturally ready to be interrogated by his parents.
"Lin Yi? How did you get back? Already graduated? Whose child is this doll? Zhou Li asked a series of questions, took the baby from Lin Yi's hand with a smile on her face, and looked back and forth, unable to hide the liking in her eyes.
Lin Youxin took Lin Yi's luggage: "Why don't you tell Dad that you come back today, I can pick you up at the airport." ”
"I'm graduating, and it's ..... my child....." Lin Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, so small that it was like a fly humming, but it was not at all like that when it reached the ears of his parents.
Lin Yi made various rehearsals of the scene at this moment on the plane, telling his parents that because he liked a man, there would be no children in this life, but he couldn't say anything about asking them to accept this little granddaughter.
But deceiving his parents made him unbearable, and said tentatively: "Dad, Mom, this child's parents can't raise her, I adopted her, and now I am her legal guardian, you see how cute she is, there is a mixed-race baby granddaughter who has a lot of face, huh?" ”
Zhou Li and Lin Youxin looked at each other after the initial shock, they only thought whose child was placed in Lin Yi, but Lin Yi's answer greatly exceeded their expectations, Zhou Li held the baby in her hand and looked left and right, although the child was beautiful like a doll, and Lin Yi was also beautiful like a doll when he was a child, but in addition to being as white as Lin Yi, this child's facial features are indeed not similar to Lin Yi, not like having a child out of wedlock.
Returning the child to Lin Yi, he sat back on the sofa, sighed, and lowered his head.
Lin Youxin sat down and patted Zhou Li on the back: "Our kid has been like this since he was in high school, and his ideas are bigger than anyone else's, but you see that he has lived a good life in the past few years, and he didn't let us worry about it, I know what you're thinking, but when the child is older, let him live according to his own ideas, isn't it?" ”
Zhou Li and Lin Youxin are worthy of being senior intellectuals who are at the forefront of the times, and after the initial shock, they began to consider practical problems.
They all went to work and needed someone to help take care of the child, Zhou Li thought of Lin Yi's grandmother in Linshi, Lin Yi's grandmother has been living alone all these years, although her body is tough, she can't help but be lonely, and called Lin Yi's grandmother.
"I have a grandchild? My grandson is so capable, hahaha! The old man smiled heartily.
"Mom, it's his adopted child, Lin Yi is still single." Zhou Li explained.
"Or are you single and have children? Isn't that more competent? ”
Lin Yi, who was eavesdropping on the phone: "What can ......" do.....
"Can you adopt someone else's child? Hahahaha! My grandson is so TM ox X. The old man smiled even more.
Zhou Li: "......"
The old man who lives to this age is often like an old child, as he pleases.
"You wait, I'll go over tomorrow to see my grandson, see how well I raised you, other old ladies dancing in the square are envious of me, I'm going to post a message in my circle of friends, I have grandchildren at such a young age, envy them to death, hahahaha!" The old man smiled and hung up the phone.
Lin Yi gave his grandmother a big thumbs up in his heart.
Vivian's matter, on the first day that Lin Yi returned to Yumu City, even if it was successfully resolved, such reasonable parents, such a grandmother who keeps pace with the times, can they tell them that they like a man next time, Lin Yi thought beautifully before going to bed.
Zhou Li bought a small bed for Vivian before the furniture store closed. At this moment, Vivian was sleeping next to Lin Yi, for the life he would face in the future, with the full support of his family, Lin Yi's heart was warm, and he fell asleep not long after.
After resting at home for two days, he came to the Xiao headquarters to report, this building has not changed much in the past three years, it is still the same as it was, Lin Yi came to the president's office on the top floor, facing Xiao Ling's father, Lin Yi was always a little scared, not that he felt that he had done something wrong, but Xiao Ling's father exuded a sense of oppression all the time, which made people unconsciously a little timid, I don't know if he is like this to others, or only to him.
I tidied up my cuffs and tie at the door, took a few deep breaths to give myself courage, pushed open the door and walked in.
In Xiao Yunshan's spacious president's office, in addition to the tall Xiao Yunshan, there was also a person Lin Yi had never seen before, that person was short and thin, when he saw Lin Yi coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward, held Lin Yi's hand with both hands, and showed a sincere smile on his wrinkled face, his small eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and Lin Yi thought of Gong Hanlin.
"Mr. Lin is back, and with your help in the future, I don't have to be scolded by Mr. Xiao." The person who spoke was none other than Li Da.
Lin Yi had to smile in response to this kind of polite opening remark, he was not good at dealing with this kind of person at all.
Xiao Yunshan sat behind the boss's desk, majestic as a mountain, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, and said slowly: "Lin Yi, you have done a good job in New York, Mr. Li has asked me repeatedly to ask you to go to the medical device company he is responsible for to help him, you can go, with your talent, it is not impossible to reverse the loss of that company, your position and salary will be readjusted, you don't have to worry." ”
"Xiao Ling, he..."Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"He's not going to be in Europe for too long and he'll be back soon." Xiao Yunshan didn't want to have a fight with Lin Yi yet, so he comforted.
Then, after making a look at Li Da, Li Da understood, and immediately pulled Lin Yi out: "I'll take Mr. Lin to see your new office." ”
Lin Yi had a sense of restraint being led away, but the other party was an elder, so he had to let him.
Lin Yi's office is on the fourth floor of the Shaw Building, and the space of more than a dozen square meters is arranged without any new ideas, with a computer desk, two bookcases, and four white walls, which is more like the 90s than the office full of modern and simple style and elegant design of the New York branch.
Lin Yi went to visit the production workshop in the suburbs on the same day, the old equipment, lifeless staff, and the dirty factory gave him a great impact.
Thinking that he was helping Xiao Ling solve the problem, he pressed down the rejection of this place in his heart.
The only thing that makes Lin Yi see a glimmer of hope is the confidential laboratory, where the research is a technology for ultra-low temperature explosion-proof refrigerators, there is a lot of hope for patents, if the technology is patented, and then the company's focus is adjusted to the production of ultra-low temperature explosion-proof refrigerators, all the redundant production lines are sold, and personnel are streamlined, then there is hope for a turnaround.
Lin Yi compiled this idea into a document and sent it to Li Da.
Even Li Da himself forgot how long he hadn't paid attention to this company, although as the general manager, but what he did more often was to saddle up for Xiao Yunshan, this time to arrange Lin Yi to his side, it was also his idea, in order to complete Xiao Yunshan's task, how to keep Lin Yi away from Xiao Ling, and not to defect to the rival company, this is indeed a difficult problem.
Li Da didn't think that Lin Yi would do anything in this company, it was best not to do anything, but he didn't expect him to hand over a company planning report on the first day.
Li Da reluctantly clicked on the report, he hadn't been to the tattered production workshop for a long time, let alone the secret laboratory, and he was completely unsympathetic to the technology being developed in the laboratory, after reading Lin Yi's report, golden light gradually flashed in his eyes, and he felt like a pie in the sky suddenly, and he became excited.
In fact, Xiao Yunshan is only one of his financiers, to support seven or eight mistresses, it is naturally not enough to rely on the meager salary of the Xiao family, using Xiao Yunshan's trust, Li Da has penetrated his cronies into various departments of the Xiao family over the years, especially the finance department, and has sought a lot of personal benefits for him. Through the big tree of Shaw, he hooked up with the Suzuki Group again, and took a commission from the goods provided by the Suzuki Group to the Shaw Family, and also made a profit. Even he had forgotten how many times he had done something like this, and every time he was about to be exposed, he could be put to rest by the people he had placed within the Xiao family. Li Da is very proud of the current situation, although the Xiao family is called Xiao Shi to the outside world, but one-third of the internal people have been replaced by his cronies, I believe that it will not be impossible for Xiao Shi to change his name in the near future.
Li Da looked at the planning report in front of him, and a conspiracy to harm others and benefit himself slowly built up in his heart.
When Lin returned home after work, he saw his grandmother and Vivian happily playing together in the living room, and his parents preparing dinner in the kitchen.
"Grandma, are you here, Vivian?" Lin asked as he took off his coat.
"Lin Yi, you are back, let me ask you, why do you give my grandson a foreign name, even if she is indeed a doll, she has to follow the rules of our hometown."
"Grandma, Vivian is now a dual citizen, and when she is 18 years old, she can choose to be an American or a Chinese, and it will be too late for her to choose her own name when she makes a decision."
"No, since it's your child, naturally it's Chinese, call her Lin Weiwei, how nice it sounds, isn't there a TV series called Weiwei Smile is very captivating, our family is smiling slightly, it's very captivating." The old man hugged Vivian and teased, "You're right, Weiwei...."
Lin Yi: "........" Trendy grandma.
Let Grandma be happy, she can come over to help and she is already grateful.
Lin Yi leaned beside his grandmother and whispered, "Grandma, I have someone I like, you will support me!" ”
When the old man heard this, he immediately became interested, and raised his eyebrows at Lin Yi, "Tell grandma quickly, what kind of person is you?" ”
Lin Yi raised his eyes and looked at the kitchen, making sure that his parents would not come over for a while, so he said in a low voice: "He is very good, smart and good-looking, tall and kind, good to me, can cook, and likes Vivian"
The old man's face turned into a flower, "Then where is she?" Bring it to grandma. ”
Lin Yi sighed and said dejectedly: "He's in Europe, I haven't seen him for more than a year, maybe I'll come back in a while." ”
Grandma patted Lin Yi's shoulder and comforted: "Good things are grinding, how old are you, the road ahead is long, I believe in your vision." After speaking, Chong Lin blinked his wrinkled eyes.
Lin Yi wanted to say something, but his mother came over and called them for dinner.
