Chapter 17

But Wen Yuqing agreed, "Yeah, the employees nowadays also see what they are doing. They don't dare to breathe when they encounter bad boss. But when they meet such a small and kind young master like Lin Liang, they will be hard to control right?"

Lin Liang didn't care about what Wen Yuqing said, his goal was always Cao Yihuan. He knew that Cao Yihuan was kind to him, and he would definitely help him as long as he opened his mouth.

But there is still a difference between just taking care of him and loving him like a real grandson. He has to get rid of his fate as cannon fodder first, and then he will work hard to earn money, saving up to 670 billion huge sums of money to save Lin's company, and to achieve that he must use all available resources.

"Grandpa Cao, I want to open an exhibition hall." Lin Liang held back his tears and said his thoughts.

Cao Yihuan was stunned, wasn't this turn of events a bit too fast?

"How did you suddenly think of opening an exhibition hall? This thing is not good for earning money, right!" Wen Yuqing asked.

Although Cao Yihuan did not engage in business, he was used to seeing the ups and downs of the business's. When Lin Liang said this, he understood Lin Liang's thoughts. If the old antiques in the antique shop are stolen, then he will have to use the other artworks to put. Although exhibition halls don't seem to make money, but the artworks that are displayed in it are all valuable things. So a painting made by a modern artist is very popular, and it's not any cheaper than a painting made by an ancient artist.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen, and many of the exquisite handicrafts that exist are quickly getting lost, so the space for maneuvering is not small.

He knew, but he wouldn't say this in front of Wen Yuqing, so he smiled and said to Lin Liang, "No matter what you do, your grandpa here will supports it. If you want to build an airship, then grandpa will go to the sky with you.""

Lin Liang smiled and raised his wine glasses, and clinked it with Cao Yihuan, "Grandpa Cao, I really love you so much." He truly felt that the original owner was stupid, he had kept so many resources and didn't make a good use of it. He has a backer and a well-connected second generation, who Wen Yuqing would never have. Having so much resources and power could make things bad for the protagonist,so no wonder he was originally set to become the cannon fodder of the story.

After eating and going back home it was past nine o'clock, Lin Liang took a shower, and opened the computer and began to check the information. He checked the public data of all the projects Lin Wang was responsible for, and found many unreasonable points made.

The original book didn't write much about Lin Wang, and there was no need to write about him since anyone reading or has read the story can know what kind of person he is, that is without sparing Lin Liang who also knew that Lin Wang's hands were definitely not clean. As the master (Note: Lin wang is his uncle as the oldest he would be the master of the family but all the shares were given to his nephews so other than them no one has power in the family) of the Lin family, he couldn't be willing to let the Lin family fall into the control of his younger brother's family. As long as he has desires, clues will be revealed as long as he isn't doing them legally.

If Gu Hengsheng's hand was the external cause to the Lin's collapse, then Lin Wang was the biggest moth that destroyed the building from inside.

It was twelve o'clock, when Lin Liang finished checking the data, he stretched, then turned on the phone and saw that there were two messages from Gu Hengsheng.

One was sent after nine o'clock, "I'm home."

The other one was sent after twelve o'clock, "I'm going to bed, good night."

Since Gu Hengsheng gave him his mobile phone that day, he has started a simple and direct daily reporting mode. Such as getting up in the morning, "I woke up." "I have eaten." "I went to work."

At work: "I'm going into the office." "I'm going to a meeting." "I finished the meeting."

Regardless of whether Lin Liang replies or not, he will report what he's doing to Lin Liang regularly. There were no extra words, let alone ambiguous language. Direct, simple, and dry. Just like him, cold and somewhat uninteresting. However, after a few days, Lin Liang got used to this pattern and felt that this person had a kind of indescribable cuteness.

In this world that is good at having a disguise, the face can be trimmed, the chest can be augmented, men can be transgendered, even the dead can be said to be alive... but someone is willing to, straightforwardly, without any embellishment open up his life to him, this can't be not described as a precious moment.

Although he(Gu) was a little domineering. However, his face is good and his figure is excellent. Of course, remembering the big boss's waist and buttock, Lin Liang unconsciously whistled. (T/N: he didn't just do that right omg)

After writing a message, he threw the phone to the bedside table, and laid on the bed: "I'm asleep too, but I just don't want to tell you, I'm mad at you."

The lights were dimmed, and in the darkness Lin Liang was still whistling. Thinking of that person, thinking of his iceberg face, thinking of the kiss, Lin Liang grabbed the quilt and went to sleep with a smile.

The next morning, Lin Liang waited for Lin Yi to go to work before calling Ji Hong into his room and handing him the documents he pointed out last night, "Help me check out these companies, I want conclusive evidence, it's not difficult for a highly talented student who graduated from a prestigious university with a finance degree like you."

Ji Hong didn't think much about it and took the folder. Before leaving, Lin Liang urged him again, "This matter should not be disclosed to anyone, including my brother."

Although Ji Hong was a little confused, he nodded.

After Ji Hong left, Lin Liang picked up his backpack and went out. He didn't go directly to the university, but went to the antique store and took Xu Yanqin's painting to the shopkeeper, asking him to put it in the most central display spot in the store.

After returning to the car, he looked at the next-door coffee shop and decided to buy the store and redecorate it into a teahouse.

He certainly did not open the teahouse expecting to make a profit from it alone. He opened the exhibition hall to make people speculate about modern art. The purpose of reorganizing the antique shop was to sell antiques, the key to this specific operation lies in this teahouse.

Don't think that rich people like to drink coffee and red wine. Rich people just like to pretend they like it, especially those bosses who are usually superior, in realit, they aren't like that at all, they like the old ways of drinking tea, it's just like how ordinary people pretend to satisfy their great vanity by being a cultured person.

Especially nowadays, when the ancient style is rampant, and various internet celebrities wear ancient costumes everywhere to take pictures. it is impossible for the lonely hearts of the bosses not to be ready to move.

Earning the money of the rich and cutting capitalist, this job is particularly suitable for his working class, and the key is that he especially likes to do that, so he gears up, and ready to go.

Since the recognition of Lin Liang as the boss, Guan You and the others have been particularly conscious of being little brothers. This morning's historical elective class the three of them didn't enroll in it, but they not only actively came, to Lin Liang occupied the seat, when the class started, Lin Liang was still not there, so they answered for Lin Liang when the professor was doing the attendance.

When the class was halfway through, Lin Liang sneaked in through the back door. The three of them had already been under the hypnosis of the history professor, and had long been lying on the table to meet with the weekly convention.

At lunch time four people sitting together, talking and laughing, which makes Gu Jinfan who was sitting at the next table very unhappy, why a few crooked melons are able to sit with Lin Liang, but he couldn't, he didn't accept this. But he had no place to protest! So he took a picture and sent it to Gu Hengsheng.

He wrote with the picture: "Lin Liang is very popular in our university, look at all the people eyeing him."

In the photo, Lin Liang was bowing his head to eat, Guan You was making a cheerful speech, Li Zhe was echoing, and Meng Tao was watching Lin Liang with a smile. The discerning person knew at a glance that these three people were pleasing Lin Liang.

Gu Hengsheng who received the picture was also eating. He was in Gu's staff restaurant, eating with the managers who had just finished a meeting. After seeing the picture, he immediately sent a message to Lin Liang, "I'm hungry."

Lin Liang, who was eating and listening to Guan You's silly jokes, felt baffled when he saw the information, and thought: "It's none of my business if you're hungry. Is big boss Gu the kind of person who doesn't have food to eat?"

Before Lin Liang could answer, the next message came again, "You should eat with me."

Lin Liang wanted to send him two words: "Heh." It seems that this wolf is not only ruthless, but also arrogant. (T/N: him being called wolf 🐺 all the time reminds me of bright 😭, here is a pic in case u guys don't know him, he has a bl series u guys should watch it although I bet u guys did)

But he really needed his help, hum, took advantage of him so many times, how could he not get him back? He Lin Liang is not something to be bullied!

So he replied: "I recently stayed up late to write a program plan. It's my first time writing something like this, and I'm very afraid of being laughed at by the staff under me if I don't write well."

Gu Hengsheng quickly replied with two words, "Send it."

Lin Liang replied, "I haven't finished writing it yet. Are you free this Saturday? I'll go to your company to see you, I will stop by your office, and invite you to dinner."

Gu Hengsheng looked at the phone and smiled. The executives of the Gu family who ate with him were all frightened. Gu Hengsheng seldom laughed throughout the year. (T/N: ing they are so funny 🤣)

The executives were shocked, for fear that an inadvertent behavior would annoy their big boss. They stared at Gu Hengsheng motionlessly, only to see him smiling and tapping his cell phone a few times, seeming to type a few words.

Lin Liang received only one word here: "Okay."

I think this is written by the author:

Yes, our bullish ~ icy ~ dickish (T/N: it was actually written like this 😂) big boss Gu Hengsheng also hesitates when sending messages to Lin Liang, deliberating, deleting and reducing the words. It's not that he doesn't want to be hypocritical, he is not hypocritical.
