Volume 3 College Life Chapter 66 Appetite and Mood
Lin Hai once returned from the extraterritorial planet Pandora, and when he stayed on the riverside star, he fed back the information of the mysterious ghost fleet in outer space and the powerful forces behind it to Earl Lin Wei, interrupting Lin Wei's intention to investigate further. And in this process, Zhao Jing has already obeyed the law and was imprisoned in the Star District Detention Cell, if there is no accident, the evidence currently in his possession is enough to make him, the former Speaker of the Planet, sit in prison for seventy years.
However, in prison, I don't know if I got the news of the death of my two sons, or for other reasons, Zhao Jing used a pistol that I didn't know how to avoid surveillance and infiltrated the strictest "Storm Island" prison in the star area, put it under his chin, accompanied by a gunshot, and ended his life.
The three speakers who were still looking at the direction of the wind before the riverside star quickly expressed their attitude, and in the process of cleaning up the situation on the riverside star, they showed their very clear sincerity and provided a lot of strong support for the actions of the speaker Lin Wei.
The special investigation team set up by the Star District Council here also cooperated with the actions of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, because the Riverside Star did not provide more in-depth investigation evidence, so it drew an end to the review of the scandal against the members of the parliament.
At the beginning of this cleanup, the investors of Wayne Company were panicked and discouraged, because no one was optimistic about the Lin family's chances of winning in this war on the riverside star, if it weren't for the fact that it was too stupid to withdraw the capital because the situation was unclear at this time, they might have done so a long time ago. However, when the handles of the Zhao family were dug up one by one and made public, the Star District Council and the Imperial Bureau of Investigation intervened, and Zhao Jing was taken away by the heavily armed task force. has put an end to the political turmoil of this riverside star.
The status of Wayne Company in the Star District suddenly skyrocketed, and during the period when the Star District Council intervened in the war and the Imperial Bureau of Investigation launched an investigation into the Zhao family, several investment groups secretly contacted Wayne Company and established a new investment cooperation plan. The Wayne Company, it seems, has won an exciting victory in this battle.
The unfavorable situation on the riverside star is reversed, and a new Speaker of the Star District will be elected in the second half of the year. However, in terms of the situation, the prestige and status of Lin Wei's five speakers have been completely consolidated.
But that's just the appearance. The real core crisis is coming from outside the Milan Star District, the Lin family, the great nobleman of the lily in the capital star circle. and the opposition to the Earl of the Riverside in the Star District Council, represented by the Speaker of the Star District Garnathan, is gradually revealed.
The two killer features, the Lin family's military contract crisis, and the mining rights of New South Star Mining. They are all invisibly pressing step by step to destroy the foundation of the Xinglin family on the riverside.
Defeating the speaker Zhao Jing is more like Lin Wei is making the last adjustment, to ensure that the entire family enters the final battle posture and uses the best state to resist those big shocks from outside the sky! Regardless of whether the Lin family still has a foothold in Riverside, a planet that has been fought and pioneered for nearly a century, after these two shocks, will Wayne Company fall apart inside and outside. But even if it is defeated and defeated, it will never compromise to external pressure, which seems to be the blood of the Xinglin family on the riverside since the period of great exploration.
Before Lin Hai left the Riverside Star, the Count had told him that he had a meal together at Milan Star for some time.
Even if the external threat is getting closer and closer, the celebration of the victory of the stage is still going on. This also plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the military between Wayne's company and the relatives of the Lin family.
Even though Lin Wei was prepared that they would not be able to survive the joint attack of the two giants of the Lily Grand Noble and the Garnathan Star District Speaker, until the last moment, as a warrior, they had to fight with a strong and smiling smile.
Therefore, this celebratory banquet after the conclusion of the Star District Council still has to be carried out.
But unfortunately, on this day, Lin Hai met Xia Ying again in the academy. Since I promised the girl to invite guests to dinner, I can't be absent from this family banquet. So Lin Hai thought of a compromise for the first time.
Although from any point of view, this approach is so shocking.
Lin Hai was a little inherently slow in treating girls, so he didn't know how difficult it was for her to ask Xia Ying to attend such a banquet now.
But it seems that Xia Ying agreed without hesitation.
The banquet was held at the venue of the Milan Star Wayne branch, outside on a turquoise lawn. People are coming. Because this was not an external banquet, most of the people who came were the elders of the board of directors of the Wayne Group, the inner and outer relatives of the Lin family, and some of them were similar to the xìng nature of the family banquet. The main family business of the Lin family is in Riverside Star, this side is just a branch, and the important person in charge is Lin Wei. Originally, there weren't many important family elders here, but because the Star District Council had just concluded the Zhao Jing case, all the important patriarchs of the family who arrived with the head of the family, Lin Wei.
And Countess Ning Qing's family power in Milan Star was also invited.
"Dear Lord Ning Langbo, it is an honour for you to be here this time, I think, in response to the intersection and business of our previous interactions...... I assure you that we will have more things in common in the future. Lin Jiang warmly greeted Ning Langbo, the representative of the Ning family, over there. Laughing. Lin Jiang is the meaner in the family, and he is also a delicate horn sè.
Donnahai, the chief butler who greeted the guests at the door, looked at the figure of Lin Jiang in the family who was surrounded by Ning Langbo, and was slightly disdainful. The Lin family has not really fallen yet, although those external threats are imminent, although the Lily Nobles have pulled out their swords and have not really duel with them, but these cowardly people have been frightened by those sword lights and are ready to flee.
The Countess Ning Qing family belonged to the representatives of the emerging West End aristocracy in Milan. In just 50 years, the family has completed the original accumulation of capital wealth, and according to those laws that have been proven countless times, when capital completes the accumulation of wealth, it begins to seek the right to speak in status and power.
But in the eyes of those old aristocrats in the Upper East Side of the empire, these new nobles in the West Side are no different from the nouveau riche, and in the eighties of the last century, the Upper East Side nobles of Milan Star set the "blood-only theory", strictly prohibiting the marriage of the nobles of the Upper East Side and the nouveau riche of the West Side, so as not to insult the reputation of the Upper East nobles. It's like a tough protection policy. Most of the Upper East Side are old aristocrats who have survived here for centuries and are mostly related to each other. It's like an alliance of the five marquis families, one with glory and one loss. They intermarried with each other, blended wealth and power, and maintained the Milan Star Circle, the fame bulwark of the Upper East aristocracy.
In the last century, the aristocracy of the West Side began to rise, and their greatest characteristic was that they began to gain certain opportunities with the entry into the Star District Council, which led to the rapid accumulation of wealth. However, there was still a huge gap between the power and prestige of the Upper East aristocracy, so these capitalists who rose in the West began to seek to truly join the aristocratic class.
So the Ning family at that time finally married Lin Wei, the Xinglin family on the riverside, who was in dire need of financial support to seek the status of earl.
After so many years, when the aristocratic barriers of the Upper East Side gradually collapsed with the growth of the capital of the West District, the Ning family naturally began to regret the decision of that year. After all, it seems that there is a threat from the Lily Nobles of the main family above the Riverside Xinglin family, and now this family is in decline. The Ning family began to look down on the Lin family more and more, and looked forward to the day when they broke off from the relationship.
Ning Langbo is the leader of the Ning family today, and he is also an outstanding figure in the chaebol in the Western District. Just received the status of viscount from the king this year. Although there are hundreds of lifetime uninherited viscounts canonized throughout the empire this year, in the western district of Milan, it is enough for him to rise and expand his status.
The Ning family is rich, and for Lin Jiang and the others in the family who had planned to split up the family, at this time, Ning Langbo is naturally not optimistic about Lin Wei's outcome in this parliamentary struggle. Although at the Star Council, Lin Wei had already defeated the Zhao family and gained the initiative, but at the Star District Council, the Lin family was completely in a precarious situation.
In fact, Donnahai didn't know that this family banquet was Earl Linwei's appeasement to the whole family and all the investors and board members. It also just shows that the situation is heading towards a very unfavorable situation. The earl could only use this method to gather people's hearts and look at the back of Master Lin Wei, and Donnahai's heart couldn't help but slowly entangle...... Lin Jia, Wayne Company...... How long will it last?
"I heard that Lindlen was honored to be named one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of Wharton this year...... Congratulations to Uncle Yuanshan!" At that end, some of the relatives of the family who arrived were congratulating Lin Yuanshan and his son, Lin Delun next to Lin Yuanshan was wearing a football shirt, lining off his tall and well-proportioned figure, revealing some confident smiles, while humbly responding to these congratulations with his father, while capturing Lin Wei's figure in the field.
Among the relatives inside and outside the family and the veterans of Wayne Company, there have always been rumors that Lin Hao, the son of the head of the family, Lin Wei, is not as good as the heirs of his two brothers Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang, and the future head of the family will not be able to continue.
So much so that many people secretly regretted it, and gave birth to an idea: If Lin Yuanshan or Lin Jiang were the heads of the family, maybe the future of Wayne Company would be better.
In fact, many times, this is just a certain wind direction that Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan have been secretly inducing, and they need to cause within the family.
This is a good card that wraps his son Link Lindren and contrasts them with Lin Hao, and over time it is enough to make many people in the family gradually lose confidence in Lin Wei, thus helping them build a prestige faction.
But this qiē seems to have been frustrated since Lin Hai appeared. Lin Hai was admitted to Qingyuan Academy, and the entrance conflict with the Skull Society, and at the investigation meeting, he was sheltered by Zheng Qiushui, the top five-member committee of the college, and at the same time, the identity of the rotor engine designer was revealed.
Under this qiē ring, it actually made Lin Hai a little noisy, and he became a very alternative existence in the family.
Everyone in the family has all kinds of scrutiny of Lin Haisheng. I didn't expect this young man born in the garbage star to have such an outstanding ability in reading and seeking knowledge. However, it takes more than ten or twenty years to cultivate a talent. And now the crisis of the Lin family, what is most lacking is time. Even if Lin Hai is very capable in this regard, after all, he is not the head of the family, and he cannot afford to control a business and a family. Even if his knowledge is strong, he can't save the Lin family from imminent danger.
Although this is the case, they know that Lin Hai's existence is not a big threat to Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang's uncles, but they still don't want to show weakness, their own heirs, Lin Ke, Lin Delun's excellence in the academy, as long as they find an opportunity, they will always show it. Although he couldn't suppress Lin Hai, at least he couldn't show weakness.
What's more, even if Lin Hai's knowledge in the academy was affirmed by the professors of Qingyuan College. But it is an indisputable fact that he offended the aristocracy of the Skull Society and other Milan stars. That's intriguing. So among the Lin family, who had just calmed down and had achieved a temporary advantage, there were many opinions on Lin Hai's library incident, such as the elder of the board of directors shook his head, "It's good for a person to have talent, but it's always taboo to be open-minded." Only those scholars of the academic school would think that a person can travel through the universe with talent. But in reality, you're going to be limited a lot...... In this world, are there still fewer people who have talent but have lost their connections, offended big people, and been suffocated? Those talented scholars who have been suppressed in the Academy of Sciences, if it weren't for the fact that Qing Gao was unwilling to speak for the powerful, so they were refrigerated, and all their talents were burned, wouldn't there be enough to see from the past and the present?"
"There are too many doorways between the laws of the nobility, but it's a pity that he was born in a noble family, but he is a wild man, after all, he has no experience in this area!" Some people lamented that this is Lin Hai's illegitimate identity.
As for what happened to Lin Hai in the academy, the people on the Ning family side of Countess Ning Qing's maiden family were the most concerned.
Ning Langbo, the head representative of the Ning family who was present today, looked around and frowned at Lin Jiang beside him, "That Lin Hai, haven't you come yet?"
Lin Jiang sneered, "He is indeed different, although he has a strong ability to read and learn, and he is a seedling in academic skills...... But there are no rules, and I've always been lazy. This kind of occasion didn't come first. Not to mention anything else, Earl Lin Wei has just won an accusation in the Star District Council, as one of the hosts' family, when his father is all welcoming guests, he is still so lazy, does he really not think of himself as a member of the family?"
And Ning Langbo, as Lin Hao's uncle, was obviously thinking about other things, and his eyebrows were a little cold, "Behind the Skull Club, is the "Swan" Marquis Lou's house. According to my information, the current heir of the Lou family is the leader of this academy's secret society, and Lin Hai's move at the investigation meeting is really a stupid move. Although it has won fame, isn't it clear that this is equivalent to a slap in the face of the marquis noble? And the five marquis families of the East Side of Milan have always been a big alliance, this Lin Hai, probably not clear, the more conspicuous he is, the more equivalent to offending these nobles enough...... Don't be afraid of how much power you have, this world is a noble world after all. The right to speak, the power to act, and even the force of force are all in their hands...... The nobles want to deal with you, but it's just a matter of time for revenge! I don't want my nephew Lin Hao to be affected in the future on the reputation of the Upper East Side nobles because of this inexplicably cheap brother...... Fortunately, these nobles are only targeting Lin Hai, and they have not included your Lin family in the scope of suppression......"
Although Ning Langbo's words were difficult to listen to and aroused some displeasure in him, Lin Jiang knew that what he said was the truth.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the old aristocratic alliance of the East Side of Milan led by the five marquis families has more than a dozen seats in the Star District Council, if not twenty. And in their Lin family, only Earl Lin Wei is a councilor. The energy contrast is huge. Now coupled with the threat of Speaker Garnathan and the Lily Nobles in the capital, the situation and future prospects of the Lin family in the Star District Council are really not optimistic.
"Lin Hao is my nephew, this cannot be changed in blood, and he is also a member of our Ning family, so I will definitely consider him...... Let's not talk about these boring things!" Ning Langbo changed the topic and looked at a brightly dressed woman who was accompanying Lin Ke, the son of Lin Jiang. This woman has thin lips and a slightly slender face, and her eyes are not big, but her makeup is very bright, and she walks in this kind of family banquet of the Lin family, she is at ease, she has obviously seen the world, and even between her expressions, she also reveals the calmness and calmness of experiencing a more high-end scene. She is no stranger to Ning Langbo, the daughter of a star district councillor and her father is also the deputy mayor of the capital city of Milan.
"Your new girlfriend is really good! She's the daughter of the deputy mayor, is she going to get married?" Ning Langbo said silently.
"Ahaha...... It's still early, Link is currently in his fourth year at Lincoln University, and at least he will not talk about this marriage until he graduates next year and has a stable job, anyway, there is no hurry. They're still young......"
Lin Jiang still laughed complacently, although in the ears of the people around him, how did these words sound and fake...... But on such occasions, isn't it about flattering each other? Immediately, some "Congratulations, won't we all have to toast with the deputy mayor of the city in two years?", "The daughter of the star district councilor, Link's vision is really good!" If the two councilor families get married, you Link will be the hero who takes the lead!"
"To this bastard Link!" Sounds similar to this flattery arose, enveloping the brilliant Lin Jiang in it.
"Your guys are ugly." The brightly dressed little girlfriend beside Link laughed, "I heard that your family has an adopted daughter and an illegitimate child, and your family's relationship is too complicated." ”
The two greeted the guest with a smile, but whispered so quietly in private, Link looked a little embarrassed, and said with a hesitant face, "That's my earl's uncle's problem...... It has nothing to do with my father's lineage. ”
The councilor's daughter carried a faint pride, "Don't forget jì, I'm not interested in this kind of boring dinner party at your house...... There are only two reasons why I was absent from Miss Christine's intimate party on the Upper East Side, one is because of you, and the other is that I really want to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed Lin Hai of your family has the audacity to offend the "Skull Society" and "Swan Marquis". By the way, Christine you know, right? The daughter of the old Stewart family on the Upper East Side. She rarely hosts gatherings, and when she does, she invites some of the most well-known young men and women on the planet. ”
Link took her hand and said gently, "Of course I know you're making this sacrifice for me. So I'm lucky to have met you. ”
The woman's face changed slightly, "Link, you should know that I only chose to be your girlfriend because I still have some feelings for you, and we are just staying in this relationship." And it's not like your family imagined, I'll marry you later, right?"
Link's face flashed with a hint of struggle and complicated emotion, and then he didn't refute or be angry, just took her hand, "I know. ”
The woman leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and nodded, "It's good that you understand that." Love and marriage, after all, are two different things, the former is just a feeling between us, while the latter is to get the approval of the family......"
Outside the gate, Lin Wei was walking among the guests. Lin Hao walked over, leaned over to her, and said in a low voice, "Why hasn't Lin Hai shown up yet?"
Lin Hao was dressed in a black suit, with a collar and a bow tie, although his body was a little fat, he looked unusually sassy and had the temperament of a master. But at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "Does he know that this is a dinner party where many people in the family, as well as the elders of the company's board of directors, are present, and the purpose is to celebrate that exciting accusation, we won!" Doesn't he know that we've won? If he doesn't show up on this occasion, what will the patriarchs of the family think of him? Will he feel indifferent to this family? Thus causing unnecessary misunderstandings?"
Lin Wei stared at Lin Hao for a moment, watching his slightly chubby face flush similar to an apple because of anger, and said with a smile, "The more he gives others a lower impression, the more others misunderstand him, the lower his status in the family." The more beneficial it is for you. Don't you want to see that?"
Lin Hao looked at Lin Wei in surprise, and then as if he had been stabbed, he argued angrily, "Sister, this is the first time I don't like to listen to what you say!" It's also the first time I've been so angry with you! How can you think so! Am I such a stupid person in your eyes?"
"If one day in the future, I inherit my father's position as the head of the family, and you think that I have an elder brother who is discredited in the family, those old foxes, will they really obey me? Although he is not an orthodox descendant, if there is a huge contradiction between us...... I'm afraid this is what many people in the family want to see. ”
Lin Wei smiled, reached out and scratched his head, "I'm very relieved today, on the one hand, my father won the charge. On the other hand, you do seem to have grown up. Rest assured. I messaged him and he was already at the door. ”
"Alright, I'll call him in." Lin Hao left, suddenly noticed something, turned his head to look at Lin Wei, "You seem to be in a good mood?"
Lin Wei put away her phone and said with a smile, "That's because he sent me a message to tell me that he brought a female companion today." ”
Lin Hao's eyes flickered, and he smacked, "What's the matter, is this a demonstration to you?"
"I don't care," Lin Wei twisted the wine glass in his hand, tasted a sip of brown wine, slightly spicy in his throat, his eyes narrowed slightly, brightened, and continued, "Is it because of his identity as the designer of the rotor engine that he fell in love with his girl?" Could it be the old virgins in those institutes? I only hope that the female companion he brought with him will not affect the appetite and mood of the guests. ”
