Chen Canaan is a quick-tempered, and playing the role of a less than useful four-ninths boy in the Hexing Society for many years has exhausted all of his patience, and when he saw that Qiao Wen and himself were well-intentioned, the big boss didn't appreciate it, but even suspected that they were ill-intentioned. He immediately stood up in a rage and angrily said, "Mr. Lin, who wants to harm you has nothing to do with us, we just don't want to take your money for nothing, so we're doing something for you in return. Since you don't believe us, let's pretend that we didn't do anything."
Lin Zhaoming did not get angry at his recklessness, the expression on his face instead recovered a few moments of gentleness, hooking up the corners of his mouth and looking at him with a smile.
Qiao Wen pulled Chen Canaan's hand and said softly, "Brother Nan, take it easy."
Chen Canaan sat down with an exasperated grunt, glaring with a pair of black eyes at the unreasonable big shot across from him.
Lin Zhaoming was unimpressed and only looked at Qiao Wen, raising his eyebrows and waiting for him to speak.
Qiao Wen said nonchalantly, "My brother is a hothead, don't mind Mr. Lin."
Lin Zhaoming waved his hand, nonchalantly picking up his teacup and sipping his tea with a smile, "Of course, no matter what, your brother is my savior."
He had read a lot of people, and had long since seen that this sickly-looking young man was the backbone of the two brothers, and that the investigation of the murderer must have been his doing as well.
Jovian said, "I realize that this conclusion of ours can only be considered speculation and is not to be taken as evidence at all."
Lin Zhaoming nodded his head with a smile, "Indeed, do you know that my wife and brother can spend millions on a casual trip to Macau. Using the thinking of your Kowloon Walled City to speculate on the lifestyle of the rich is really a bit ridiculous and absurd. Moreover, my wife's brother and I have always had a cordial relationship, and for you guys to push this speculation onto his head, I have to say it's child's play." Saying that, he glanced at Lin Zi Hui, "It's only because this stupid son of mine is worried about me that he would believe what you guys are saying."
Lin Zi Hui bit his lip in order to speak, but in the end, he silently lowered his head.
Chen Canaan was truly furious this time, "Is Mr. Lin looking down on us poor people?"
Jovian patted him on the shoulder, still looking nonchalant. He smiled and nodded, "It was us who were too hasty." After a pause, he suddenly added, "But ...... since Mr. Lin thought the results we speculated were ridiculous, why did he go and have the accounts checked again?"
Lin Zhaoming was slightly stunned.
Qiao Wen continued, "Since Mr. Lin will go to check the accounts of that Mr. Zhong, it means that you think that Mr. Zhong has a motive ...... to kill you even if there is only a slight possibility."
Lin Zhaoming looked at him with a puzzled expression for a moment, then suddenly laughed aloud, "You backwoods boy is a bit interesting." He waved his hand and laughed, "Although I don't approve of your baseless speculations, the idea is indeed a bit interesting, after all, you are strangers to me, and it's not realistic to find the murderer in just five days. Regardless, I thank you for this desire to help."
Qiao Wen knew that this old fox should have believed their words, he just didn't want strangers meddling in his family's affairs. So he also took a step back and said, "Indeed we were too hasty, Mr. Lin gave us the money to save our emergency, we were so intent on repaying that we boasted. I also hope that Mr. Lin will take it as us being young and unintelligent and not take it to heart."
Lin Zhaoming smiled, "You all mean well." Saying that, he looked at Lin Zi Hui again, "Don't worry about Abba's matter, how's your schoolwork these days?"
Lin Zihui said, "All the homework has been finished in advance, and it will be summer vacation soon, so I'm going to find an internship to exercise."
Lin Zhaoming laughed and said, "Although the heir of the Lin family is your brother, you are also my son, I love you all with the same heart. I will also help you arrange your future, there is no need to look for a job, I will first give you a small factory under me to try your hand at."
Lin Zi Hui said, "Abba, I know you love me, but I don't really know much about doing business, so what if you give me the factory and it goes bad?"
Lin Zhaoming smiled disinterestedly, "Originally, it was just a small factory that didn't make any money, so feel free to toss it around." With that, he looked at Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan and said, "I wonder where the two young friends are working?"
Jovian returned, "I just graduated from Form 5 this year and I'm looking for a job."
Chen Canaan pretended to clear his throat and said in a serious manner, "I work for an entertainment company in the Walled City."
Jovian almost didn't laugh, but casinos were considered the entertainment industry.
Lin Zhaoming's heart was clear, he had seen this youngster's skill at the teahouse, in all probability he was a member of a mixed society. He nodded: ''Although the two young brothers are young, they are both talented. Since young brothers are looking for work, if you don't mind my son's stupidity, you can help him take care of the factory together. As for the remuneration, just divide the profits according to your profits."
Qiaowen knew in his heart of hearts that this would be the other thank you he was talking about.
I've waited so long for this opportunity.
Lin Zi Hui looked at Qiao Wen expectantly with surprise on his face.
Qiao Wen curled his lips and smiled, "Thank you Mr. Lin for your appreciation, we've sort of met with Zi Hui and it's my honor to work with him."
Lin Zihui said, "Thank you, Abba."
Lin Zhaoming smiled lovingly and greeted, "Come have some tea!"
Qiao Wen was answered, but Chen Canaan was indeed full of questions. Because he felt that going to take care of some factory with Lin Zi Hui, this stupid four-eyed boy, didn't sound like a good job.
When he got on the yellow bus for the return trip and there were only two of them left, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Qiao, do you really want to work with Four Eyes Boy?"
Qiao Wen knew what he was thinking and said, "Brother Nan, although Lin Zi Hui looks like a nerd, believe me, this is definitely an opportunity."
Chen Canaan heard him say this and didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "I don't have a problem if you want to try it out, just pay attention to your body, if there's anything you need my help with, you just call me."
Qiao Wen smiled and said, "I will definitely call you when I need your help. Let's take it one step at a time, and one day, we'll all walk out of the fortress in a dignified manner."
Chen Canaan borrowed the candlelight and looked at him with one mistake. After a long while, he said in a good humor, "Xiao Qiao, when you promised to find the murderer for Lin Zhaoming at that time, you were actually trying to get a job offer from him, weren't you?"
Jovian squinted at him, thinking that was pretty smart.
He nodded, "That's right, you also know that I'm in poor health, it's not hard to get a job at the company's foreign bank, but it's only hard to get ahead, no employer would be willing to give a good opportunity to someone like me, so I'll have to find my own opportunity. Lin Zhaoming is a billionaire, and although Lin Zi Hui is an illegitimate son, he loves this son, we'll definitely have our day in the sun together with him."
There is another thing he didn't say, and he can't say it, Lin Zihui is the main character of this world, the Jack Sue halo on his head can blind people's eyes, you can't go wrong by following him.
Maybe it's not just about following him around, it's about using it for your own purposes.
Chen Canaan naturally knew that he had a point, it was just that this point shouldn't have come from Xiao Qiao's mouth - at least not the Xiao Qiao he had known for years.
He knew that Qiaowen had changed a lot lately, but this was the first time that he was struck with a sense of strangeness, as if this wasn't the same Xiao Qiao that he had known for more than ten years, but another brand new Xiao Qiao.
Of course, he didn't resent it, and was even a little relieved that he had changed like this, knowing that he was finally old enough to be on his own, and might soon be able to stand on his own two feet, or even make a difference.
But the heart is not free from frustration.
It was as if something he had been able to control was spiraling out of control.
Qiao Wen didn't deliberately hide his differences from his original body in front of Chen Canaan, and even intentionally let him see that he was different, because he wanted him to clearly realize that he wasn't the same Qiao Wen as before.
Whereas once upon a time Jovian needed him to cover his ass, now he was more than capable of making a go of it on his own.
Besides, the only way the guy would listen to himself honestly was to show him that he had it in him.
This villain from the original book is no honest embryo.
Getting off the yellow cart, the two of them walked side by side towards the dark and sunless city fortress. After walking for a while, Chen Canaan suddenly sighed despondently, reached out to take the person next to him in the crook of his arm, and said, "Do you think Lin Zhaoming believes your speculation or not?"
Jovian said, "If you don't believe that, do you think he'd let us help his son?"
Chen Canaan snorted coldly, "Then why talk so much shit, an old fox."
Qiao Wen: "He doesn't want us outsiders to know about his family, and he doesn't want Lin Zi Hui to worry."
Chen Canaan said indignantly, "If it wasn't for his luck that you suddenly appeared at the teahouse that day, I would have finished him off long ago."
Jovian lost his smile.
He's right, though, because that little mishap changed all the plot of the original book and made the future unpredictable.
In his own world, he had no ambition or desire for the future since Lin Nan had passed away.
But now, suddenly, he had something to look forward to.
For this was a golden age for adventurers, and here he was, with another brother alongside him.
