The long-awaited Spring Festival was just around the corner. The Spring Festival, which was the most unbearable for him when he was overseas, had become the only time for Xiao Zheng to relax.
He could let go of his work completely, and there was no need for him to scheme during the Spring Festival. At least, Xiao Zheng did not want to think about those troublesome problems during this rare holiday.
He accompanied Old Lin to the supermarket to shop for Spring Festival goods, then went to the mall to buy a few new sets of clothes. The two of them strolled leisurely on the crowded street.
Because of the cold weather, Xiao Zheng had enough reason to hold Old Lin's hand on the street. Her ice-cold palm entered his broad and warm palm. It was like the fusion of ice and fire, full of layers …
"It feels good not to have to work." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and sighed.
It was the fifth year since he entered Xin Ao, and it was the most difficult and tiring year for Xiao Zheng. This year, he broke with the Lin Group and presided over the establishment of Xin Ao Village. But before Xin Ao Village could gain a foothold … He quickly gathered the elites to set up a platform to launch New Austria Pay.
His body and spirit were hard, but the company's performance was also gratifying. Under the joint operation of Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin, Xin Ao Pay became the king of the financial services industry. Although the advantage was not obvious, everyone in the industry knew that the Lin Group would definitely go all out to pull Xin Ao Pay down from the king's position. But at least from the current situation, Xin Ao Pay's business ability was still very strong. It was also very popular among the users.
"What are your plans for the Spring Festival?" Lin Huayin obediently leaned against Xiao Zheng, a white down jacket wrapped around her graceful body. Even though she was wearing flat shoes, she did not look small standing next to Xiao Zheng. Her outstanding bearing, slender figure, and appearance that was perfect to the point of being flawless had turned the tables on her, causing Xiao Zheng to become her foil.
For a woman to be able to reach Elder Lin's level, she had no regrets.
"It's up to you." Xiao Zheng took a puff of the cigarette and exhaled the smoke. He waved his hand in the air a few times in an attempt to dissipate the smoke as soon as possible. He didn't disturb Old Lin.
"Dong Bijun invited us back to the Lin family." Lin Huayin said lightly.
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback. He was still in a daze.
If he hadn't lost his memory, Lin Laoyao had once said in front of everyone that even if Lin Huayin died, he still had a daughter.
At this point, no matter how firm the father-daughter relationship was, it would be difficult to repair. Moreover, from the moment the Lin family collapsed, the relationship between the father and the daughter had become extremely fragile and fragile.
After all, Dong Bijun's invitation was her own idea. Or was it because of Lin Laoyao's attitude?
"He nodded?" Xiao Zheng tilted his head and asked.
Lin Huayin raised her gaze slightly. "No matter how arrogant she is, she has never gone against his wishes at home. Not even once. "
Lin Huayin's meaning was clear. Dong Bijun dared to invite the couple because she had received Lin Laoyao's approval.
"I'm fine with it." Xiao Zheng tightened his grip on Old Lin's hand and said softly. "What about you?"
"I'll listen to you," Lin Huayin said with pursed lips. There was no emotion on her snow-white face.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Then I'll prepare some gifts. It's not good to come empty-handed. "
"Mm." Lin Huayin nodded.
"Is there anything special to prepare?" Xiao Zheng glanced at Lin Huayin.
"It's up to you," Lin Huayin said.
"Okay."
The two had just stepped onto the sidewalk when the sky suddenly started to snow. Without any warning, the snow covered the entire sky.
In the passing crowd, some people exclaimed, some complained, and some stopped to admire the snow. It wasn't as rare to see snow in the north as it was in the south. But snow always had the meaning of auspiciousness. As long as one's mood wasn't too bad, heavy snow could always soothe one's mood to a certain extent.
The haze in Xiao Zheng's heart had been swept away by the heavy snow. His mind was clear and his body was comfortable.
…
On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve.
The heavy snow that had been falling intermittently for a week had already covered the entire Sijiu City in silver and white. Even the air was filled with a fresh smell. The sky was no longer hazy and depressing like it used to be.
Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin came with gifts and were warmly welcomed by Dong Bijun and her daughter. Lin Laoyao, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, also got up and nodded. He even gave Xiao Zheng a cigarette.
It seemed that all their grudges had been temporarily put aside because of this special occasion tonight. Lin Huayin treated them coldly as usual. Lin Laoyao also didn't take the initiative to chat like before. Soon, the three bored women sitting in the living room went into the kitchen together. They were preparing the last steps of the New Year's Eve dinner.
The Lin family's kitchen was big enough to accommodate the three women at the same time.
Click.
Lin Laoyao lit a cigarette, but his expression was as calm as usual. Xiao Zheng glanced at him and found that Old Lin's expression was somewhat similar to Lin Laoyao's. It was just that one was calm and aloof, while the other was calm and distant.
"Xin Ao Pay is doing well," Lin Laoyao suddenly said, his voice was steady and full of authority. He was like the strictest man in the world. Even though Xiao Zheng was sitting across from him, he could feel a trace of pressure.
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and said. "The Maneki-Neko's aftereffects are also scary."
"Funds are the aftereffects." Lin Laoyao skillfully flicked the cigarette ash and said calmly. "If Xin Ao has enough follow-up funds, it will also have aftereffects."
"I may not be able to come up with too much in the short term." Xiao Zheng smiled. "If we can stabilize the current market share, it will be considered a victory."
These two men who were the most popular in the business world this year were talking in such a concise and comprehensive way. If a third person or Hu Yishan heard it. They would probably vomit blood and die.
After a brief conversation, the living room fell into silence again.
Lin Laoyao did not take the initiative to speak, and Xiao Zheng did not know what to talk about. The two men smoked in silence, drank tea in silence, and waited for the arrival of the New Year's Eve dinner.
Fortunately. The three women did not let the two men wait for too long. Before the Spring Festival Gala began its countdown, nearly twenty dishes were served. The five of them sat around the table, raised their glasses and drank the first one.
"I wish you all the best and good health in the coming year." Dong Bijun looked at Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao with a sincere smile.
"Thank you." The two nodded and raised their glasses to each other.
"Sister, brother-in-law." Lin Xiaozhu also raised her glass and said with a flowery smile. "I wish you all success in your career and become the richest man in Hua Xia, the richest man in Asia, and the richest man in the world!"
Lin Xiaozhu just said it casually, but suddenly realized that the great man sitting next to him happened to be the richest man in Hua Xia, the richest man in Asia —
It sounded provocative no matter how you looked at it. There was even the suspicion of being a traitor.
For a moment, the atmosphere became slightly awkward. Everyone was speechless.
"Very good." Lin Laoyao picked up some food with his chopsticks and nodded.
Lin Xiaozhu's mood relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. He toasted like the God of Wine.
