"Dirt is nothing compared to genius. However, the hard work is faster than the genius of the sky and other talents, and it is faster to reach the destination. This is where the dirt is great, and where it is most promising. "
- Poet of the Great Eagle Empire.
...
For the rest of the day, Lin Hai spent every day in the underground space of Jiang Zhi's villa.
He ran so far every day, threw the hot dog intestines in his mouth to the big yellow dog who wagged his tail and begged for food, and entered the underground space. Sit in the realistic cabin of the old man Jiang. Manipulate that bulky black strong mecha and start the training of those seven movements.
Lin Hai understands that because of the lack of resources and training since he was a child, he is just an operator who has no foundation and has completely accidentally reached the qualification of a medium pilot. In the self-cultivation hall that Lin Wei led him to, he was not even the opponent of the high-level machine Lu Ming.
And in the Qiushui Research Institute, if it weren't for his unique instinct to survive and escape, he took advantage of the other party's judgment error on himself, and Professor Zheng's flagship aircraft's powerful firepower arsenal. Facing Xiong Chi, the commander of the beast mecha regiment who had reached the level of a high-level machine, he fought head-on... He's still going to die a terrible death.
At the end of the day, despite his hard life on Junk Star, which gave him the keen instincts of a beast, he was still just a mid-level mech who had just crossed the threshold of elementary mech operation when it came to the most basic mech operations.
His hands were accurate, but they weren't fast enough to break through the next step.
If he forcibly increases his speed, then he will no longer be precise, no longer stable, and no longer have a clear mind.
Therefore, Lin Hai understands that this is probably the so-called invisible threshold, and it is also the gap between the levels of human social intelligence.
For example, now, he can't even complete the seven actions that Jiang Zhi casually threw in this underground space.
In these days, he has secretly and invisibly scolded Jiang Zhi from a lewd old man to a pornographic old man to a garbage old man, all because of these seven actions, which really challenged the limit of his current control skills and went up to the limit.
However, under this unconvincing spirit and challenge, Lin Hai improved from a 30 percent completion rate for the first two movements to an 80 percent completion rate. There are fewer failures and higher successes. The third action also reached fifty percent. There are still four movements that cannot be completed, which are still difficult for him at the moment.
But Lin Hai at least knew very well that for him, perhaps after completing these seven actions, those invisible thresholds between the ranks of the Fighter might be a lot closer because of his progress.
For the people in the manor, Lin Hai is not too abnormal except for the usual early departure and late return, and the recent increase in the amount of food to a terrifying level.
But every day he came out of Jiang Zhi's villa, he had a different perception, and his understanding of the seven actions was also improving.
And Lin Hai's view of Jiang Zhi's past has changed in another way. This old man is not obscene... It's a metamorphosis.
Only such a perverted old man would leave these seven such perverted actions in the simulation cabin!
Lin Hai was here for a week.
Then he determined that the old man was not only a pervert, but also an unreliable fellow.
Because a week has passed, Jiang Zhi, who was traveling abroad, still hasn't returned. And Lin Hai has a hunch that he may never see this perverted and obscene old man again for a long time in the future. This means that the disgusting rhubarb in his villa may have to be taken care of by him from now on... He also had to face the seven perverted actions he set up in the underground space, and he would be in this kind of pain for a long time.
There is no news from Jiang Zhi, but the Columbia Festival of the empire is coming on such a day.
...
Lin Wei and Lin Hao, as well as various family members of the Lin family, including the board of supervisors of Wayne Company and the members of the board of directors in other places, all rushed back to Riverside Star one after another before this.
The riverside star has become a celebration everywhere for a while, and various banquets and cocktails will bloom in this festival.
Looking from the starry sky, the entire riverside star divided into countless bright and yellow spots of light, flickering in the deep blue universe.
The Lin manor, which was usually somewhat quiet, was ignited by the incoming car engines and the hustle and bustle of the party.
The lawn at the back of the estate has been used as a venue for open-air banquets. Banquet tables are spread all over the lawn along the central artificial lake, and the spotlights in the artificial lake at night are particularly beautiful.
Donald Head is directing the manor's personnel to run at full capacity to ensure a smooth banquet.
Lin Hai will sit at the same table with Lin Wei, Lin Hao, and the children of the family.
When he went to the banquet from the manor, Li An walked side by side with him, his table was at the end, and he was at the table with the people from the company secretary department, so it was naturally impossible to accompany Lin Hai. In fact, he is also the least regarded secretary in comparison.
But Li An was obviously still carrying out his duties, and while sorting out Lin Hai's tie, he whispered to Lin Hai what he could know in advance, "Tian Xiaotian, the daughter of the Tennessee family, will also come today, come on... Take her! "
Hearing this news, Lin Hai was still a little surprised, and then blinked and smiled, "The investigation of me has begun?" If I don't want to be involved in this family business, do I just need to make her disgusted? "
When the Tian and Lin families were about to form a political marriage, Tian Xiaotian expressed strong opposition, and finally took a step back because of the overall situation, promising to meet Lin Hai before deciding. Therefore, at today's banquet, it is not inappropriate to say that it is an investigation of his Lin Hai.
"As far as I know, this girl is not ugly, you don't regret it, it's ..." Li An looked like "Don't think about it, you kid is destined to be very happy", and continued, "By the way, there is also Richard, the headhunter who is in charge of the academy's talent recruitment." It is said that he was the one who helped recommend you to Granite University..."
Ang Lee has completely put himself on the body of a Lin Hai's life escort. Lin Hai's development is inseparable from his honor and disgrace, and from his point of view, he naturally hopes that Lin Hai will gradually get rid of the laughing stock of illegitimate children, and he can impress people with his strength and make a difference.
By this time, the two had already stepped onto the lawn. Lin Hai smiled at Ang Li, who patted him on the shoulder at the end and said, "Wait for your good news", and walked towards the table where Lin Wei and Lin Hao were where the laughter kept coming.
Almost at a glance, he saw the girl who should be Tian Xiaotian.
It was a bit unexpected, because it wasn't as ugly as he had imagined. It's surprisingly good-looking... She sat next to Lin Weizhi, a little demure, and her eyebrows revealed a little charm. Obviously, on the banquet where men and women laugh constantly, it has attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Hai walked towards the table where the young men and women in the family gathered, and under the gaze of the people around him, Lin Wei, who had left Lin Hai halfway through the self-cultivation hall three months ago, stood up and smiled at him naturally, this kind of naturalness was like getting along with Lin Hai for a long time, without any barriers.
She shared half of the sky for Lin Wei in Wayne's company, and her style of acting was strong and decent, so naturally she would no longer show the subtle and embarrassing flaws in the relationship between Banfen and Lin Hai in front of these men and women in front of her.
"Introduce you to someone." She lightly put her hand on the bare and beautiful shoulders of the girl beside her, "This is Tian Xiaotian." "
...
First there was Lin Wei, and then there was Tian Xiaotian. The table where Lin Wei and the others are located, it is difficult not to attract attention. So much so that the young men and women around the table seemed to be talking and laughing happily, but in fact, many of them looked distracted, and many of them had their eyes drifting away from their table.
"That's the girl of the Tian family..."
"Hmm... It's a pity. Something like this sour tone rang out from time to time.
When Lin Hai and Tian Xiaotian looked at each other, there was a slight jump in their hearts.
The woman in front of her has a beautiful face, with a shawl of soft hair, which is divided into two strands and tied into a bunch, which hangs down in the long hair of the waterfall, which is more and more elegant. It's just that the corners of her lips have been hanging with a beautiful arc since she started talking to people just now, with a cheerful smile that makes many men dazzle, and the cocktail glass in her hand touches her pink lips from time to time.
Seeing Lin Hai's eyes slightly stunned, she generously handed her hand to Lin Hai, "Tian Xiaotian, hello." "
Lin Hai shook her slender hand that people couldn't bear to hold, "Lin Hai, hello." "
The tentacles are slightly cool, and the grip is very good.
Could this be his future wife? Lin Hai suddenly felt much better.
After the ceremonial smile, Tian Xiaotian did not show any superfluous emotions to Lin Hai, withdrew his hand lightly and quickly, removed his indifferent eyes from Lin Hai, and continued to talk about the unfinished topic with the people next to him.
It was as if the person in front of her was just a passerby, not the other half of the political marriage with whom she might be in the future.
She maintained an indifferent smile and chatted with others, but only when she could only detect the gap, her eyes would look at Lin Hai with some scrutiny, intentionally or unintentionally.
Tian Xiaotian, who was wearing an elegant dress, was obviously very popular, and at this time, the men and women at the table had different expressions when facing Lin Hai who came over.
They have also heard about the family affairs of the Tennessee family and the Lin family, which is not a secret, and it has even been publicized. Most women are not worth revealing to Tian Xiaotian, probably although they think that Lin Hai is not bad, but their own identity cannot match Tian Xiaotian at all.
The illegitimate son of the aristocratic family, without the right to inherit and speak, is completely an existence that is not recognized by the entire aristocratic system, although the Tian family does not have a nobleman, but there is only such a daughter, if she marries Lin Hai, it is obvious that because of Lin Hai's own status, it may also be quite humble in the Lin family. However, the Tian family will definitely reach some agreements with the Lin family to protect Tian Xiaotian's rights and interests.
Except for those girls who looked very worthless to Tian Xiaotian, Lin Hao, who was present, had always treated Lin Hai coldly, after all, when Lin Hai entered the door, he was slapped twice, and he is still laughed at in front of the entire family and even his two cousins.
Lin Ke and Lin Delun are the children of Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang, two uncles of the Lin family, respectively. Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang have always had the ambition to seize the head of the family. Link and Lin Delun naturally have a very sensitive and delicate relationship with Lin Wei and Lin Hao.
Today, before the banquet began, the two of them had been ridiculed and stimulated Lin Hao more than once by the last slap in the face, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the family was present and the father Lin Wei who was afraid of him, Lin Hao might have fought with the two again.
Of course, there was no fight, and they were still eating at the same table, but Lin Hao naturally transferred this resentment to Lin Hai. Viciously thought that so many of them in Nanzi slipped away for him last time, do you want to find an opportunity to block people like this again in the future?
Link and Lindlen, as well as some of the young men present, also thought that the daughter of the Tennessee family must be ugly, and who knew that it was a little amazing to see the real person. Thinking of her future political marriage with Lin Hai, everyone actually had the feeling that Lin Hai had gone out of his shit luck, and their hostility towards Lin Hai immediately became more and more serious.
After the head of the family, Lin Wei, delivered a speech in the field, the banquet began.
It is probably that there are two beauties at this table, Lin Wei and Tian Xiaotian, and even the young people at the table are all funny and humorous, which is exactly the same as the eloquence and humor of their aristocratic fathers, and from time to time makes the girls hide their faces and chuckle.
Lin Hai looked out of place and was extremely silent in the banquet.
He just listened to the young men's discussion while enjoying the food on the plate in front of him. As for what Li Ang had envisioned to show in front of Tian Xiaotian before, the idea that Tian Xiaotian suddenly admired, he was not so boring, and it was clearly unlikely, he himself did not have the charm to seduce thousands of girls like Jiang Zhi.
Most of them were talking about the recent admissions to the empire's universities.
Around the time of Columbia's Day is the time when the Imperial University Cluster is preparing for the exams. During this period, talented young people from all over the empire will attend different schools.
Among them, the most high-profile are the major universities that have produced countless celebrities in the empire.
Even if you are a nobleman, your children are studying in a first-class school in the empire, which is something worth showing off.
At the banquet, Lin Wei and Lin Hao were students of Qingyuan University. Link and Lindrun attended two other universities in the Empire, the University of Lincoln, ranked 11th and 12th respectively, Wharton Engineering.
And the most surprising thing is that Tian Xiaotian is also a student of Qingyuan University.
Lin Wei is a famous daughter of the sky in Qingyuan College, and Tian Xiaotian, who wants to call Lin Wei Senior Sister, is also a beautiful woman who has just entered Qingyuan College and is famous among the freshmen.
"I didn't expect that the Tennessee family, when will there be one more lady who has entered Qingyuan Academy! This is something to be congratulated on. A young man desperately wants to make an impression in front of her, and there is no shortage of admiration.
"My father didn't want to preach it... Perhaps, I also have a trace of luck..." Tian Xiaotian said with a smile, her face flashed with a hint of imperceptible helplessness, she entered Qingyuan University, in fact, she relied on another relationship, if it weren't for the slight connection between the Tian family and the Lin family and the imperial military, with her score in this year's big exam, it was actually not enough to meet the standards of Qingyuan Academy. However, because of the extra consideration of family background, Tian Xiaotian was entered.
Of course, such a thing, the people present do not know.
What is the concept of being able to enter the top ten Qingyuan universities in the empire?
You must know that among the nearly 100 young people attending this banquet, those who entered Lincoln University and Wharton Institute of Technology, which are similar to Link and Lindlen, and those who rank among the top 20 universities in the empire, may be able to reach as many as 20 people by virtue of their family background and connections.
But the people who were admitted to Qingyuan College were only the three people at Lin Wei's table.
Elegant, cheerful, beautiful and generous, and even the proud daughter of the future. This is everyone's impression of Tian Xiaotian.
In comparison, Lin Hai, an illegitimate child who has nothing... It really made everyone present think, why didn't he leave the table automatically, didn't he feel ashamed of himself in front of other girls? Not even the green leaves that reflect the safflowers, but the mud under the rhizomes.
...
Of course, Lin Hai would not be ashamed of himself, and maybe even he didn't even know what the concept of being able to enter Qingyuan University was. He simply decided that since it was one of the top ten universities in the empire, there must be a lot of knowledge in it that he was eager to know, and even those unknown secrets that were classified as secret to the outside world and could answer many of his doubts.
Of course, that day in the manor restaurant to discuss his future arrangements, after being humiliated by Lin Hao, he realized that this imperial famous school, in the eyes of others, wanted to get in, it was so difficult.
At this moment, in the face of everyone's beauty, although Tian Xiaotian didn't show anything on the outside, deep down, he was actually a little proud. The corner of her eyes glanced at Lin Hai slightly, and when she saw his silence, she had a slight sense of superiority in her heart.
When she first heard the news of the marriage between the Tianlin family, not to mention that the other party was still an illegitimate child picked up from the garbage star, no matter which girl, her first thought was that the happiness of her life would be over, so she was red-eyed at that time, and rushed from Qingyuan College to Tennessee overnight to fight.
The struggle has been fruitful, and the Tian family may not have regretted it after the marriage agreement was orally made with the Lin family. But from the long-term consideration of the family, marrying Tian Xiaotian out, the Tian Lin family formed a deeper alliance, which is the best result for the family business.
Of course, if Tian Xiaotian insisted on not agreeing to this family matter, the Tian family could only take it back. After Tian Xiaotian was clear about the current predicament faced by her family's company, she decided to meet Lin Hai first, which is the so-called investigation.
The Tian family naturally followed her wishes, after all, the real family affairs were decided, and the agreement was made at the end of the Lin family's annual meeting, during which the Tian family and the Lin family still had time to run in and discuss. If it does, it will be announced at the annual meeting, and if it doesn't, the matter will be shelved at that time.
So Tian Xiaotian came to Lin's Manor on this Columbia Day, under the guidance of Lin Wei.
As for Lin Hai's first impression, he was a little surprised.
After all, she originally thought that what she saw would be a young man who was contaminated with the habits of a place like a garbage star, but the other party was surprisingly neat and quiet. If you see him in the academy or a certain street community, you might have some good feelings.
But this does not mean that she is tempted by Lin Hai now.
She was disgusted by the premise of this political marriage, and she was not shaken and changed just because she saw Lin Hai.
However, from another point of view, facing Lin Hai with a higher attitude, let him see his own excellence, see his most beautiful side, even if they miss it in the end, she refuses this political marriage, at least in his heart, his image is still beautiful and unforgettable.
Tian Xiaotian deliberately wore this good-looking and elegant dress, and every smile was clear, and he was generous. She knew her beauty, so she was also accurately aware of the moment Lin Hai saw her, the moment of astonishment in his eyes.
Beauty and talent coexist, Tian Xiaotian doesn't mind showing these in front of Lin Hai at all, after all, what girl is not vain and hopes that she will be amazed by others like a fluttering butterfly, even if the other party is a destined passerby in life.
While she had a touch of vanity in her heart, she also thought that even if she couldn't shirk this political marriage, she really married Lin Hai after graduation, and with her excellence, she should be able to overpower the illegitimate child in front of her, so that he would respect him in the future.
It's just that this person really wants to be his other half?
Looking at Lin Hai's well-defined and somewhat good-looking side face, Tian Xiaotian thought so in his heart, and his hand was gently clenched underneath.
Of course, it was impossible for her to completely judge what kind of character this person was at first sight, on the contrary, Lin Hai's silence at the banquet was stunned, but it made her wonder if this was a pretending attitude, what he was like was not just this banquet that unfolded on the surface, it could be easily judged.
...
Halfway through the banquet, many people at the table had already gone back and forth, and at this time, a voice that sounded unpleasant sounded from the side, "Isn't this Lin Wei's niece?" Haha, you're getting prettier! "
Everyone looked. A group of middle-aged men, who were richly dressed, tall, short, fat and thin, were walking towards them. It is surprising that Earl Lin Wei's two brothers in Riverside Xinglin, who belong to the uncles of the Riverside Xinglin family who have a lot of prestige.
The fat man with the short head is Lin Jiang, who is tall and has prominent cheekbones on his cheeks, and it is Lin Yuanshan who looks a little mean.
Seeing them coming, Lindlun and Link, who were fair-faced and thin-lipped, spoke one after another, "Dad! Uncle! "
Lin Delun is Lin Jiang's son, and Lin Ke is naturally Lin Yuanshan's son.
They were the two people who paid second only to Lin Wei and his wife Ning Qing in the whole banquet. The two of them have great power in Wayne Company, only inferior to Lin Wei. Belong to another faction of the Wayne Company.
Since the old earl established the Lin family and Wayne Company on Riverside Star, his brother has been in an auxiliary position. Now that Lin Wei's generation has arrived, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, who are members of the board of supervisors and board of directors, have also begun to have ambitions for the next head of the family. Now the company's internal struggle is also led by the two.
Lin Wei frowned and looked at Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan who came forward.
"I heard that at the event on Seventeenth Avenue today, my niece couldn't cope with it!" Lin Jiang pinched a cigar and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Wei's expression changed. Many people in the surrounding family also looked very embarrassed.
In today's lively celebration on 17th Avenue in the second district of the star, an unexpected incident occurred that Wayne Company did not expect.
On top of the propaganda celebration, when Lin Wei spoke, the reporter who jumped out of the security guard somewhere interrupted her speech, and pointed directly at the failure of Wayne Company in the Ring Star Maneuver Race just now, whether it was the sequelae of Wayne Company's loss of scientific research capabilities and repeated business setbacks.
In the defeat of this event, Lin Wei mediated between the media, hoping to treat it coldly, which consumed a lot of resources of the company. However, on the celebration of Columbia Day, such a cold person was stabbed with a soft knife, and many media present at the moment also seized this tentacle and publicized it one after another.
The Wayne Company could only end the celebration in a hurry, embarrassed. This was originally a forbidden area today, who knew that Lin Jiang would come up and point directly at this matter, of course, to tear Lin Wei's wound bigger.
After all, this is Lin Wei in charge, and it is also Lin Wei's mistake, he doesn't mind directly hitting Lin Wei in public, and it is also indirectly hitting the Lin Wei family head behind this.
Lin Wei clenched her fists and said in a cold voice, "Uncle, Wayne Company also has a part of you, what do you mean by this, can I understand it as schadenfreude?" "
Lin Wei's words were a bit high-pitched, which immediately attracted the attention of more people, and some voices of discussion immediately rang out everywhere in the banquet.
Seeing the pointing and pointing of the people around him, Lin Jiang's slightly chubby face suddenly turned a little pale, and even Lin Delun was a little embarrassed by Lin Wei's direct reprimand. In the company, although Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan's faction had a conflict with Lin Wei, after all, Lin Wei was still the head of the family, and there was friction between the two sides, and they tacitly carried it out.
Now Lin Wei actually scolded them for "gloating", although it was because they were really angry, which also pushed them to the forefront. After all, when the company needs to work together, they "gloat", whether in reason or public opinion, it is untenable.
In fact, Lin Wei was so angry, mainly because she believed that the reporter who suddenly popped up when she was speaking was behind the instructions of her two uncles in front of her. After all, if the Lin family decayed faster, with the collusion between them and the Lily Aristocrats, they would naturally be able to take over faster in the future.
...
Lin Wei has reasonable guesses, and the other party also has reasonable motives. So she was furious. But in fact, they wronged Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, saying that they were gloating, after all, this was a mistake in Lin Wei's hands, but they did not arrange the reporter behind their backs.
They don't have that much courage yet, and they really want to bring down the Wayne Company step by step. In fact, the deep-rooted cognition and the indoctrination of their parents over the years have made them have some awe for the lily nobles of the big family.
The big family did send people to contact them, but they knew that if they were really swallowed up by the big family of the Lily Lin family, the Riverside Xinglin family would rejoin that huge family. The status of these people at that time was really very different from the freedom and high on the riverside star. Therefore, on the side of the upper lily nobles of the empire, they also adopted the strategy of only contacting and not talking deeply. Don't offend that big noble family, but don't easily agree to any conditions from the other party.
Although he really wanted to get involved in the position of the head of the Xinglin family on the riverside, it was also the ambition that arose when he saw Lin Wei's health deteriorating in recent years, and Lin Hao simply did not have the courage to subdue them to take on the position of the head of the family.
Moreover, they are also paving the way, preferring to let their two sons Lindren and Link become the next generation of heads of the family.
So if Wayne fails, it's something they don't want to see. As for the mecha competition, the termination of the contract of a powerful professional pilot like Metro was also a last resort at that time. METRO offered a renewal fee of 10 million yuan, which can be imagined, which is an astronomical amount, and it is really a big burden for the current Wayne company's finances.
"You! ... How can you say that..." Lin Jiang was choked by Lin Wei's words for a while.
Lin Wei was sharp-toothed, especially in her heart, and she was even more unforgiving, "Lin Wei dared to ask the two uncles a little rudely, you really don't know about that reporter?" "
"My niece is mistaken if she thinks so." The tall and thin Lin Yuanshan coughed dryly and said with a smile, "Your Uncle Lin Jiang has always been like this, sometimes he is not very good at talking, obviously he cares, and he will always let him say it and change his taste!" We and Wayne Company are both in loss and in success. Regarding the defeat of the Formula Mecha Competition in the Star Zone, we are also very sad, and the reporter dares to say that he does not know about it. It's just that the niece should not be disturbed by this, it is just the termination of a professional player's contract. Could it be that we, Wayne, are just a few formula runners holding it up? There is me, and you Lin Erbo. We'll get through it together! "
Lin Hai glanced at this Lin Yuanshan, and the other party was very good at rounding. Just downplaying this sentence attributed Lin Wei's gaffe to the bad mood caused by losing the game.
The members of Wayne Company present knew that Lin Wei was currently mainly responsible for Wayne Company's public relations, publicity, and important external events.
Coupled with her strength that she has always refused to admit defeat, the radical remarks just now are also understandable.
This also relieved Lin Jiang of the danger of being besieged by public opinion within the company.
Lin Jiang wiped the sweat on his forehead, quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "You Lin Sanbo is right!" Of course we are family. No, Mr. Richard is an old friend of our Lin family, and he is a well-known public headhunter in the education industry. It's not easy to invite him, it's because I heard about the situation of your family Lin Hai, so I made a special trip to invite him over for a gathering during this festival! "
...
The word "Lin Hai" accurately attracted the attention of many people around.
It can be said that he is an outlier in this family. In the banquet hall, the reason why Lin Hai was only chewed on a small scale and did not openly discuss him was even more consciously ignored in some mainstream topics of the family. It's because he's in a complicated and awkward position.
This is also the general psychology of people, when faced with a very in-depth and complex topic, naturally no one will lightly open the conversation to show their position and attitude.
Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, if you want to say that they have bad intentions towards Wayne Company, they don't have anything. However, if the scandal against Lin Wei's vein is targeted, it will not hesitate to strike.
I came here just now, I was planning to make a fuss about Lin Hai, so that Lin Wei and Lin Wei's lineage would lose some prestige in this kind of gathering of the family. Who knew that he was vented by the anger in Lin Wei's chest, and naturally he didn't care about anything immediately.
Along with his introduction, it was a man in his forties, with neat hair combed back to his head, with a silver hooked nose and a straight suit, standing beside them, quite conspicuous, smiling, giving people the impression of being very good at talking, "How can it be not easy to invite me?" Lao Lin's banquet, why do I want to come for a glass of wine! "
Many of the people present were no strangers to the man named Richard.
In the headhunter circles of Imperial College, he is a well-known name. You must know that there is still competition between the elite schools in the empire, and this competition is even more intense, it is the competition of students.
The so-called headhunter is to tap some highly potential student resources and recommend them to some famous schools. After all, in the empire, there are some outstanding students who could actually go to higher schools, but for various reasons, they are admitted by some low-end colleges. In this way, the excellent source of students was intercepted.
In order to hunt for such students, some prestigious schools have to rely on the help of headhunters. Therefore, headhunters are still very valued in the imperial education circles.
Say the obscure point, in the gray field. Some aristocrats and wealthy also hope that their children can enter the excellent elite schools of the empire and become the glory of the family. At such times, the help of headhunters in this is indispensable.
Facing Richard, I don't know how many people present want to make friends.
Lin Jiang pointed at Richard and said with a smile, "Heh, look, this is the Lin Hai I said!" "
The arrival of Richard, the people present at the banquet, all of them were right, and everyone was speculating in their hearts, I am afraid that on the Lin family's side, what we want to announce today is that there is another person who will enter those prestigious schools in the empire?
Richard, obviously here for Lin Hai!
At this time, even Tian Xiaotian opened his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Hai. She had noticed from just now that Lin Hai had been quiet and silent throughout the banquet, unlike those men who tried to talk and laugh to get her attention.
This somewhat made her look at him a little differently. On the one hand, it was due to Lin Hai's calmness that was not affected by the outside world, and on the other hand, she vaguely felt that he was not so simple as he seemed on the outside.
And now, since the Lin family has dispatched a headhunter like Richard to help, Lin Hai will inevitably hunt for a high target this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to move Richard to help.
It is even possible that it is one of the top ten prestigious schools in the empire!
Tian Xiaotian's heartbeat has unconsciously increased a lot, and he can't tell what kind of mentality and feeling it is. It's like what you thought was a tragic thing, and suddenly it turned around, as if it suddenly became not so bad and unacceptable.
For this political marriage, for this Lin Hai in front of him.
Some of the people around also looked at Lin Hai with different eyes. They only knew that Lin Hai was an illegitimate child and grew up in a place like Haizhou Xing. However, for more details about him, I don't know, how he has spent the past twenty years, what is his ability, and what kind of potential does he have? This is unknown to the people.
But now, as if a dazzling new star is about to be born. Some even think that Earl Linwei is hidden deep enough. For a while, it seemed that many people were no longer entangled in the issue of Lin Hai's illegitimate children.
Everyone's eyes fell on Richard.
Only Lin Wei, who understood what was going on, turned pale in an instant. Lin Hao also looked at Lin Hai with an embarrassed expression, and he actually had an expression of hatred for iron and steel.
Richard looked Lin Hai up and down, then patted him on the shoulder, and muttered, "The young man is very good, if you want to add some basic knowledge and common sense in literature, physics, and chemistry." The University of Granite is indeed your first choice... I know the principal very well, and through my recommendation, there should be no problem for you to enter the school. "
"What?"
"Granite University!"
The people around them who listened to them stopped for a moment.
Immediately the mood of wonder and confusion... Tumbling around.
"Granite University... What the hell is that? "
"It's a college ..."
"Nonsense!"
"The overall ranking of the empire, it seems to be the one hundred and forty-fifth ..."
And it takes Richard's recommendation to be admitted exceptionally?
It was like some kind of fantasy for a moment, and suddenly it collapsed.
Some of them opened their mouths wide and looked dumbfounded.
Dispatch Richard to barely go to such a third-rate university? Lin Wei's illegitimate son Lin Hai, how bad is this!?
A handful of laughs that could not be kept serious rang out.
Tian Xiaotian was stunned on the spot, and when her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Hai, there was an imperceptible look of astonishment in her eyes, and ... Disappointed.
That is, in front of oneself ... Not an unfathomable gentleman who doesn't want to be exposed, not a frog prince with a tiger in his heart...
It turned out to be one, who didn't understand anything... Illiterate?
...
For a long time, among the Lin family, as well as within the Wayne Company, there have been many speculations about this Lin Hai. His sensitive illegitimate identity was taken back to the slum from the garbage star on the cusp of this storm, and some people in the company even thought that Lin Wei was paving the way for Lin Hao.
Lin Hai may not have the qualifications to inherit the family business, but if he is very talented, similar to Lin Wei, can take over some of the business of Wayne Company, then there is no doubt that the line of Lin Wei's family head will grow a lot.
In addition, when Lin Hai first entered the manor, he dared to slap Lin Hao, which made some people even more mysterious in their views of him, and they did not dare to judge easily. I can't say that this bastard child, his years in the slums are just a cover-up, he actually has quite a great talent behind his back, after all, no one dares to underestimate the bloodline of Earl Lin Wei or the plan behind him.
If this is the case, then it may be difficult for Lin Jiang and Lin Delun's faction to withstand the storm. This internal dispute within the Lin clan may not be able to see the result for a while.
Who knew that today, in front of the public, Richard's arrival tore through the coat on Lin Hai's body that seemed to outsiders to be shrouded in fog.
What dazzling talent does a young man who grew up in a place like Haizhou Xing?
At Ang Lee's table, a company secretary next to him shook his head and chuckled. At this table were all staff of the secretarial and managerial departments. As people who are in close contact with the manor, they know more or less about Lin Hai's rumors, such as the two slaps he gave Lin Hao as soon as he entered the manor, such as his high-profile blow to Donnahai's arrogance a few days ago. They didn't care whether Lin Hai was an illegitimate child or not, just his aristocratic background was enough for them not to underestimate. If the future family has some arrangements for Lin Hai, he will study through a prestigious school, and then come out to take over some of Wayne's business, maybe he will also be able to control these academic staff and managers.
However... Granite University Fundamentals of Study... This alone makes some people in the company disdainful. Would you be led by someone who doesn't even have the most basic knowledge and skills?
Regarding the whispers on the table around him, Li Ang clenched his fists in private. His chest trembled with anger, but he understood that in the face of such a blow, neither he nor Lin Hai had any possibility of fighting. In the entire family, they are in the most vulnerable position, and the so-called right to speak is too small.
In comparison, Lin Hai, as a party concerned, has always had a calm face, and this appearance of honor and disgrace makes some people look at it differently.
But to another extent, it is also a sign of inability to resist.
In fact, as Lin Hai's identity and status as an illegitimate child in this family, he really couldn't fight for anything.
...
Lin Yuanshan immediately took the tablet from the hand of a man in a suit next to him who respectfully stepped forward, and smiled slightly, "By the way, as your second and third uncles, we still have gifts for you." "
He clicked on the tablet a few times, and a stereoscopic image was immediately played.
It was a convoy, driving on a ravinely and bumpy road, and in the distance of the convoy, the slum shantytowns under the mixed canopy, the smell of ruin came from afar.
Lin Yuanshan explained with a smile, "After all, you are a member of our Lin family, and our Lin family is in the riverside star, and we can be regarded as nobles with heads and faces." We picked you up from where you lived, and the Lin family will naturally give back to those who have helped you in the past. This is the aid we sent to the locals of the place where you once lived, of course, in your name, you know, you Lin Hai is now the heir of our Lin family, and our Lin family pays attention to gratitude and gratitude, so these are naturally necessary. "
Under the stereoscopic projection, the aid convoy drove into the shantytown.
What a devastation it was, and many people wept when they saw the shambles, almost built from the rubble of a garbage dump, in a dilapidated and impoverished manner.
As soon as the convoy entered the shantytown, a large group of teenagers from the slums had already run towards the aid convoy, climbing into the caravan and looting the goods. The greed and viciousness of human nature are undoubtedly revealed under such a dim canopy.
"Whew!" Tian Xiaotian raised his hand to cover his mouth for a while. Because on the screen, a teenager who climbed into the car to carry things was the first to climb up next to him, and without hesitation, he smashed his fist on the other party's head, directly knocking him off the speeding truck, rolling a cloud of smoke and dust on the sand.
Such scrambles have also occurred in many places.
This is the garbage star, this is the slum... This is the place where Lin Hai grew up in front of me.
Facing this desolate picture, facing the kind of ruin and overwhelming sand and dust of the shantytown.
Tian Xiaotian held his mouth, his eyes trembling and looking at Lin Hai.
At this moment, Lin Hai clearly found that the once heart-pounding light in the depths of her starry eyes was like a burning flame, which was gradually extinguished.
Vulgar, dejected, poor, violent... This is the garbage star.
Lin Hai, who grew up here, may have been one of those teenagers at one time.
Stereoscopic image ends. The people around fell into silence, looking at Lin Hai more or less complicated.
Some people sympathize, after all, it is not easy to grow up and survive in such a harsh place. All of this is because of his biological father, so many people are a little dissatisfied with Earl Lin Wei from the bottom of their hearts.
Some people also have a respectful attitude towards Lin Hai, although there are many indifferent and cruel people among the nobles, but the horizontal is always afraid of death, and the people who are nobles will always keep a little distance from those who are born with mud legs. Since Lin Hai grew up in a violent place like Junk Star, no one knows what he has been through, or what is hidden under this harmless appearance of humans and animals.
For Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, their goal has been achieved, which is to rely on Lin Hai to strike at Lin Wei.
No matter who it is, seeing Lin Hai being abandoned and living like that for twenty years, presumably the Wayne Company and family members present will not have much of a good impression of Lin Wei because of their sympathy for Lin Hai. This is an excellent breakthrough for them to win hearts and minds.
achieved the purpose of attacking Lin Wei and Lin Wei behind his back. Of course, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan accepted it when they saw it. They are also old foxes, and it is enough to know how far things are going. After Richard this out. Lin Hai, who Lin Wei brought back from the garbage star and caused a sense of mystery, has already broken himself.
What is Lin Hai's impression, and the people who are now feasting believe that they have already measured it in their hearts.
The family members present, the company's veterans, middle and senior executives couldn't help but figure it out according to the information they had... In fact, in terms of the ability of the generation of the Riverside Xinglin family, the most outstanding and highest-status ones are the head of the Lin Wei family, as well as the three branches of Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan.
Lin Jiang Lin Yuanshan's heirs Lin Ke and Lin Delun are indeed a lot worse than Lin Wei's ability, but Lin Wei is an adopted daughter after all, and she will always marry in the future. So as long as it is then, the foundation of the Lin family will eventually fall on the last generation, and it is undeniable that Lin Ke Linderen and Lin Hao are much superior compared to Lin Hai and Lin Hao. It is very possible to seize the position of head of the family.
The goal has been achieved, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan did not linger any longer, said a few round words, and went to other tables with Richard.
Richard is obviously a celebrity, and the place he went to immediately aroused the enthusiasm of many people who wanted to make friends.
The banquet resumed smiling and smiling, as if Lin Hai's incident was just an occasional wave in the sea of banquets. Soon the water was not happy.
The atmosphere at the table became a little delicate for a moment. Link and Lin Delun didn't dare to face the cold Lin Wei, so they took the opportunity to sneak back to their father and walk around the banquet with them. The laughter and the silence at Lin Hai's table showed a certain degree of contrast.
Some girls probably took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Tian Xiaotian in order to avoid embarrassment. There was a hint of life on the table.
It's just that during this whole process, Tian Xiaotian never glanced at Lin Hai again.
It's like picking up shellfish on the beach barefoot, you think you've found a treasure in the sandy sand, but when you happily pick it up, you find that it's still an inconspicuous and dull stone, and you'll probably throw it aside, and you won't look at it again.
The Columbia Festival dinner is also coming to an end as time goes by.
Tian Xiaotian's generous and decent image won the favor of many people at the banquet, and even some men frequently offered courtesy, but they were kept at a distance by Tian Xiaotian with a polite and undetached attitude.
The feast dispersed. In the end, it was Lin Wei who personally sent her out of the manor.
"The words are said by others, but the road is walked by oneself." When saying goodbye, Lin Wei said meaningfully, "Sometimes you feel that you are standing at multiple forks in the road, and it seems that there are many choices, but in terms of the overall situation, there is actually only one way. "
"After today, I hope you can think carefully, after all, I still hope that in the future, I can see the Tianlin two families, and they can be more cordial to each other and have closer ties. In this way, we may be able to overcome many difficulties. "
The implication of these words is self-evident. Lin Wei naturally wanted to consider the Wayne Company first, and for the current situation, the political marriage of the Tian Lin family is very likely to be the key straw for the two families to survive the crisis in the future.
In fact, she is also a woman with a family business development, Lin Wei can actually understand and sympathize with Tian Xiaotian, who is actually very narrow in her life choices.
They are all outstanding women, but they must sacrifice for the sake of the family business. Including the possibility of marrying a man you don't love, and thus paying for yourself.
Tian Xiaotian, who heard the warning in Lin Wei's words, frowned slightly, she was a smart woman, how could she not hear the seriousness of Lin Wei's words and the pity and goodness. There was a trace of bitterness in her eyes, which made her figure in an elegant little dress more and more elegant, and nodded, "I'll think about it." "
The special car responsible for picking her up had already arrived at the gate, and Lin Wei said softly, "Then, be careful on the road." "
Tian Xiaotian crossed his wrists in front of his chest and neatly made a "blocking" action. The bitterness and sadness just now disappeared with this action, and she seemed to have the cheerfulness and generosity she had at the beginning, and said with a smile, "When you go home, you have to worry so much about senior sisters, isn't it in vain to practice the black section of taekwondo." "
Then she spat out her lilac tongue like a lady, turned and sat down in the door that the driver had opened for her, and waved goodbye to everyone.
The moment the car door closed, Tian Xiaotian swept towards Lin Hai with his afterglow.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, he was looking at himself without sorrow or humility, as quiet and gentle as ever. However, the brown pupils are deep and complex, as if they have seen something.
The car started and drove forward, the two sides turned against each other, looking at the figure of Lin Hai, who was destined to be separated into two worlds with himself, Tian Xiaotian's heart suddenly pinched, and he was inexplicably a little sad.
