Chapter 641
Lin Yan smiled faintly at Jiang Hao's words and then said, "It wasn't your dean who called me, saying that you had some trouble here and asked me to come and take a look."
Speaking here, Lin Yan looked a little disgusted and said, "But it turned out that the trouble you were talking about was that person you ran into."
Jiang Hao also felt helpless when he heard this. After picking up a cup of tea and taking a slight sip, he looked at Lin Yan and asked, "How come that person keeps pestering you?"
Lin Yan shook her head and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Nothing, it's mainly because my family has some business dealings with their family, so it's become like this."
Jiang Hao looked at Lin Yan and couldn't help but ponder for a moment after hearing these words, the Lin family was one of the powerful families in the Northern Province.
As the eldest daughter within the family. Lin Yan must have had no choice but to hang out with these people.
After nodding slightly, Jiang Hao looked at Lin Yan and spoke, "That said, this should be a place that is not legal, right? How come you all seem to be used to it?"
Lin Yan smiled and looked at Jiang Hao in silence for a moment, then got up and walked to the door and said, "You come with me."
After saying this Lin Yan stayed while Jiang Hao walked out of the door and strolled up, while speaking, "Any place has its own circle, I think you should know this, right?"
Jiang Hao nodded and looked at Lin Yan with some curiosity, not understanding what this place had to do with that circle.
And Lin Yan looked at Jiang Hao's puzzled expression, then reached out and pointed at the people playing outside the mountain villa and spoke, "This is a circle, a circle that belongs to the upper class."
After saying this, Lin Yan looked at the crowd somewhat plainly yet with a bit of disgust and spoke, "But one thing that is universal is that this circle isn't that clean either."
Jiang Hao faintly stared. Then he looked at Lin Yan and said with a bitter smile, "There is no need for you to say that as there is a clean circle in this world."
Lin Yan turned to look at Jiang Hao: "I don't want to be like them, I don't even want to continue in this circle, but I have to take up the responsibility for the sake of my family."
Jiang Hao had to admit that Lin Yan was a very attractive woman.
Inside the hospital, she displayed the demeanour of a strong woman, and at the bar she showed a hint of a wild and unrestrained temperament.
The woman in front of him now suddenly had a kind of pity at first sight, which made Jiang Hao gradually have some indefinable feelings for Lin Yan.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao looked at Lin Yan and said with a bitter smile, "Well, I think I can understand you a little, speaking of which, who is the owner here?"
Lin Yan watched as a hint of heartache flashed across Jiang Hao's eyes as he looked at her. A strange emotion also arose in her heart.
As if she was afraid of being seen by Jiang Hao, Lin Yan hurriedly turned her head to look elsewhere and spoke, "This is our family's property, so that Chen Ming would have just left straight away."
Jiang Hao looked at Lin Yan with a dumbfounded expression, "After all this talk, this is still your territory?"
Lin Yan looked at Jiang Hao's astonished look and covered her mouth and laughed lightly twice, then spoke, "That's not the way to say it, technically speaking, this is the place my grandfather used to entertain guests."
After saying this, Lin Yan walked slowly with Jiang Hao and said, "Because the family would often talk to people about business. So grandpa built the Half Wall Villa for convenience."
Jiang Hao shook his head somewhat helplessly, "I'm afraid he himself didn't expect that this place would develop like this, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "At first, only guests invited by my grandfather were allowed to enter this place. Later, as our family's business grew bigger and bigger, this place grew bigger and bigger."
Jiang Hao looked at the various parts of the mountain villa and spoke, "At the moment, I'm afraid that there aren't many people in the Northern Province who are qualified to enter this place of yours, are there?"
"No, I feel like this place is still relatively approachable now. Didn't you just come in, hahaha."
Jiang Hao looked at Lin Yan with a head full of black lines and spoke after a slight sigh, "If you say that, I'm going to be sad."
But after saying this. Jiang Hao also felt a little unable to help himself.
The two stood on the pathway looking at each other and smiling, how could they look like a golden boy and a jade girl.
After walking around slowly, Lin Yan faintly told about her recent happenings, while Jiang Hao also listened patiently.
From time to time, he offered some of his opinions, and the two of them had a good conversation.
It was only after a while that Lin Yan suddenly hesitated, seemingly embarrassed about something.
Jiang Hao looked at Lin Yan's expression, despite his curiosity. However, reason made him hold back.
Slowly, Lin Yan spoke with some difficulty, "Shen Yan. There's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
Jiang Hao pondered for a moment before speaking back, "If you feel the need to, you can talk to me about it."
Lin Yan froze when she heard this. Shaking her head slightly, she spoke, "Originally, even if I told you, you wouldn't necessarily have a solution. But this matter is really too heavy, and I want to find someone to share it with me."
Looking at Lin Yan's longing eyes, Jiang Hao did not hesitate to say, "Go ahead, I'll listen."
After a moment of silence, Lin Yan slowly spoke, "My father and grandfather built the Lin family's estate with their own hands, but then my father had a car accident, you know about that."
Jiang Hao nodded, looked at Lin Yan and said, "Well, you told me about this matter before, what happened afterwards?"
"I still have an uncle at home who has always coveted my shares, in fact it's the only thing my father left me, and my grandfather is really too old."
Looking at the difficult look on Lin Yan's face, Jiang Hao took a deep breath before saying in a deep voice, "So you're hesitating whether to seize power, or to protect yourself?"
"Saying that seizing power might be a bit too much, I was just, just thinking about whether to suppress my uncle."
Jiang Hao laughed bitterly twice before speaking, "Before you do that, I have to ask you if there's a need to do so, and if there is you don't have to tell me."
Lin Yan stood still and looked at the ground for a long time in contemplation before speaking, "Perhaps I have the need to do so, but, this matter is a bit troublesome."
Here Lin Yan paused, then continued, "Uncle has a son called Lin Dong, and he has the support of his grandmother, this matter is a bit difficult."
Jiang Hao shook his head slightly after looking at the bitter look on Lin Yan's face, "I don't need to guess to know that the reason your grandmother supports your uncle is probably because she is worried that you will bring the family fortune with you when you marry someone else in the future, right?"
As much as Lin Yan didn't want to admit it, the expression on her face made it clear to Jiang Hao that he had guessed correctly.
It seemed that the idea of giving preference to sons over daughters had long been ingrained in the older generation.
Chapter 642
Jiang Hao sighed before speaking, "If you really want to ask my opinion, then I suggest you better find a way to step in and suppress them."
Lin Yan looked at Jiang Hao and spoke with a puzzled expression, "I've thought about this too, but then always felt that we are a family after all. There's no need to go to this extent."
Although Jiang Hao had never spent time among these families, the story of his own body had fully illustrated one thing.
In the face of absolute interests, something like a family was just a tool in the hands of many people.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao spoke out the thoughts in his mind.
Then he looked at Lin Yan and spoke, "You have to think about it. Whether you are now being suppressed by them step by step or are brave enough to seize the opportunity."
Lin Yan looked at Jiang Hao and for some reason a slight sense of security suddenly surfaced in her heart.
"Perhaps you're right. It looks like I should take the initiative to grasp the opportunity to do so."
In fact, Lin Yan basically had some ideas in her heart regarding this matter.
If they continued to go on like this, it was very likely that uncle's family would ostracise themselves without a single chance.
And because grandfather was already old after all, if he was unable to support himself after a long period of time, it was likely that he would not be able to do so either.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan took a deep breath, then looked at Jiang Hao and spoke, "We'd better go, I don't like it too much here."
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, and then followed Lin Yan to leave Half Wall Villa.
On the way back, after Jiang Hao and Lin Yan separated. In his heart, he still had some hard feelings about Xue Yuning.
It had been so hard to find her and cure her, but this was the result.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Hao had to put the matter aside, he couldn't bear to see Xue Yuning being involved again because of him.
The threat of Shen Tianyang was like a huge boulder that was weighing him down all the time, and although he seemed to be at ease at the moment, Jiang Hao knew that.
If he didn't do something about it, he was afraid that Shen Tianyang would come to him without waiting for him to find him.
Just as Jiang Hao returned to the hospital, on the other hand, Lin Yan also returned home.
Uncle was sitting quietly in the living room eating something, when he saw Lin Yan come back he smiled and ignored him.
Lin Dong, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa looking at Lin Yan and smiling, "Yo. Isn't this our Missy, you're back so soon?"
Lin Yan was about to go upstairs when she heard Lin Dong's words and stopped in her tracks.
Then she turned her head to look at Lin Dong and said with a flat expression, "If you are very idle, you can continue to play at home tomorrow and I will help you get rid of those jobs of yours."
Lin Dong looked at Lin Yan and snorted twice, "Forget it, just because you still want to help me get rid of those work moulds, you think you can get along with the people of Jincheng Group."
After saying this, Lin Dong spoke while sharpening his nails, "Talking business also requires skill. I'm afraid you're not quite there yet, are you?"
During the argument between the two men, the uncle kept looking at the newspaper with a calm expression and did not say anything.
He waited until Lin Dong had finished speaking. Only then did he speak without haste, "What were you doing at Half Wall today?"
Lin Yan and looked at the two men with some annoyance and spoke, "Do I have to ask your permission to do something before I go?"
Lin Dong shook his head slightly, looking at Lin Yan's annoyed expression he couldn't help but laugh lightly twice.
Uncle shook his head slightly before speaking, "Not really, I'm just a little concerned about you, if you don't like it. You can pretend that I didn't ask about it."
Lin Yan snorted coldly and walked up to her grandfather's room, she could not stay in this house any longer.
Lin Dong looked at Lin Yan's back and said, "Dad, when will we be able to squeeze this woman out?
Uncle Lin Nan smiled plainly and then said, "I'm not in a hurry, what's your hurry? Right now the old lady supports us and she is a woman, so why are you worried?"
To him, this family business of the Lin family will be his sooner or later, he will not be anxious.
However, he was not anxious, but Lin Dong was a bit anxious, because he had a matter hanging over his side.
After a slight glance at his father, Lin Nan, Lin Dong got up and moved his body, and then said, "Dad. I'll go to the company to take a look."
After saying Zerhua, he didn't wait for Lin Nan to say yes and left directly, waiting until he was out of the doorway.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call. He then drove his car to a gorgeous looking hotel on the outskirts of the city and got out.
As soon as he got out of the car, a man with an evil look on his face came up and said, "Yo, isn't this Young Master Lin? Do you want to play some more hands today?"
Lin Dong looked at the visitor and hesitated for a moment, then he said, "Who are the people today? Is it a big game?"
"It's not the same as the previous few gentry, they're only playing so-so, why don't you go in and hold up the stage?"
Lin Nan, who was sitting at home, did not know that his son had become addicted to gambling and was still calmly looking at the newspaper in his hand.
On the other hand, Lin Yan went upstairs to his grandfather's study and saw him sitting there quietly reading a book.
So she gingerly walked over and stood behind her grandfather: "Grandpa, I'm back."
Master Lin nodded slightly before saying lightly, "It's good that you're back, you might have to work a little harder this time."
"What's wrong, did something happen?"
Master Lin looked at the company's books in his hand and rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache before saying, "Recently, the company's accounts have always felt a bit wrong, and I've asked Xiao Dong to check them for half a month, but there's been no news."
Hearing this, Lin Yan looked at Elder Lin and said, "Does Grandpa mean that I should check this matter?"
Elder Lin nodded slightly before he turned to look at Lin Yan and said, "Well, I'm going to leave this matter to you to investigate, and make sure to give me a result."
Lin Yan nodded before stepping forward and taking the account book in Master Lin's hand and said, "This report seems to be from the last quarter, is there a deficit in the finances or something."
Master Lin slightly lit a cigarette and then smoked it, "The report says that our company's profits dropped by twelve percent last quarter, with a loss of about seven million."
When these words came out, Lin Yan couldn't help but fall silent.
Over seven million was not a small amount for the Lin family, and it was still pure profit.
Thinking of this Lin Yan frowned slightly and said, "Grandpa don't worry, I will definitely look into this matter."
Elder Lin looked at the determined look on Lin Yan's face and was relieved after a slight nod, then coughed twice.
Chapter 643
Lin Yan looked at the way Master Lin was coughing and said, "What's wrong Grandpa, is your old problem coming back, have you taken your medicine?"
Only when Old Master Lin had finished coughing did he put down his pipe and then took a hard breath.
"It's alright. That's how it is when people get old, I've already taken my medicine this morning."
Lin Yan hurriedly poured him a cup of water, and then looked at Elder Lin with concern, fearing that he might have any accidents.
Lin Yan knew very well that the reason why she had been able to stay in this home so peacefully until now was because of the presence of this old man in front of her.
If anything were to happen to him. Then, not to mention her father's shares in her hands, even this family would not have a place for her.
Elder Lin obviously also knew what Lin Yan was nervous about, so after taking a sip of water he turned his head and smiled at Lin Yan.
"Don't worry girl. Nothing will happen to me, but we don't have much time left, so you have to hurry."
Hearing his grandfather's words, Lin Yan spoke after a moment of silence, "Don't worry grandpa, I've already thought about this matter, I won't let you down."
Looking at the determined look on Lin Yan's face, Elder Lin nodded slightly and smiled, "That's good, that way I won't worry about you, you're so smart you'll definitely be able to win."
Although they did not explicitly say so, both Elder Lin and Lin Yan understood each other's feelings.
After taking a deep breath, Elder Lin spoke rather helplessly, "If your grandmother hadn't always thought that the family needed a man to inherit the family business, you wouldn't be so passive now."
Lin Yan shook her head and looked at her grandfather with some sadness and said, "It's alright, as long as I work harder, that position will always be mine."
Elder Lin smiled slightly and nodded, "Hm. You've been so smart since you were young, I don't believe you can't do such a little thing."
After Lin Yan looked at the old man and laughed, she laughed twice along with him and then spoke, "Grandpa, I know a very good friend who is quite good at medicine, why don't I bring him home to give you a look?"
Elder Lin watched a strange look flash across Lin Yan's face as she said this.
While feeling slightly surprised in his heart, he spoke, "Sure, bring him back to the old man for me to have a look if you're free, a male right?"
Lin Yan looked at the joking look on the old man's face and said in a delicate voice with a slight blush on her face, "Grandpa, you'd better do your thing, I'm going out to get busy!"
After saying these words Lin Yan slammed the door and left, then went to her sister's room.
During this period of time, Lin Bei Bei had been drinking the medicine given by Jiang Hao, and her whole body looked much better since the last time. Her body was not as cold as before.
Just after pushing the door in, Lin Beibei looked at the book without looking back and said, "Sister, next time remember to knock first if you enter the door, okay, I am no longer a child."
Lin Yan looked at Lin Beibei and said, slightly shocked, "How did you know it was me who opened the door and not someone else?"
Lin Bei Bei turned her head at these words and said with a somewhat helpless expression on her face, "I've heard your footsteps for more than ten years, can't this be used as a judgment?"
After saying this, Lin Beibei shook her head slightly and said, "Sister, the doctor who treated me last time seems quite handsome, I want to go see him again, okay?"
Lin Yan smiled and looked at Lin Beibei and shook her head helplessly, "You, you're really a big kid."
As she said this, Lin Yan took off her shoes and climbed onto Lin Bebe's bed and hugged her and said, "When you are completely healed. I'll bring him to see you."
"No, I want to go and see him myself, no matter what, he is my life-saver!"
After saying these words. Lin Beibei looked at Lin Yan with a bad smile and said, "When the time comes, I will first see if the other party is as handsome as I saw in my daze, if so, I will capture him and give him to sister as a suppressing husband!"
Lin Yan heard this and looked at Lin Bebe incredulously for a long time before she came back to her senses and scolded with laughter, "You're dying, you, hahaha."
After the two of them rolled around on the bed and fought for a while, Lin Beibei fell into Lin Yan's arms and panted heavily.
"Sis. It's been a hard time for you, hasn't it, taking care of me and caring about the company at the same time."
Lin Yan looked at her sister in her arms and shook her head with a smile, "You, you don't know these things yet, if you really care about sister then get better quickly and come and help sister when the time comes."
Lin Beibei giggled after hearing this, "Sure. When the time comes, I will be sister's personal secretary and then accompany you every day."
Looking at the innocent look on Lin Bei Bei's face, Lin Yan instantly felt that as long as Bei Bei could be happy, whatever she did would be worth it!
Only she didn't know that soon the next thing would bring her into a huge conflict with her family.
This conflict even dragged the company into a dangerous situation, and what she didn't expect even more was this.
The one who saved her from that crisis was a man who was sitting in his office with his legs crossed and getting high on melon seeds at the moment.
"I say Xiao Shen, can you just do me a favour, this patient is really difficult to handle."
Dean Jiao was holding the medical record sheet in his hand as he watched Jiang Hao sitting in his seat getting high on melon seeds.
There was no trace of irritation in his heart, instead he looked at Jiang Hao with begging eyes and said, "Come and take a look for yourself, the patient was born with some physical disabilities. And he has a disease that is prone to infection."
After saying this, Dean Jiao spoke with difficulty, "Just help out with the cure."
Jiang Hao finished his melon seeds, then looked at Dean Jiao and said with a smile, "Where are Dr. Xu and Dr. Ren? They're not bad either, why don't you ask them to go?"
Dean Jiao shook his head in embarrassment, "Although their level is not low, they still lack something in their hands. That's why I called you to come up and take a look."
At any rate, Dean Jiao was also a dean, so to beg Jiang Hao in such a lowly manner was already a low profile.
Jiang Hao looked at Dean Jiao and shook his head before saying helplessly, "Well, I really don't want to get into any trouble. It's just this once."
Hearing this, Dean Jiao quickly said with surprise, "Okay, okay, just this once and never again, come, come, this way please."
Just as he got up from the dean's chair, the mobile phone on Jiang Hao's body rang.
After answering the phone, Lin Yan's voice rang out, "Shen Yan, see if you're free tomorrow, find a chance to come out, I'll pick you up and take a look at the old man's health at my home."
Jiang Hao heard this and looked at Dean Jiao, then spoke, "OK, then I'll take a leave tomorrow, make an appointment for an address and I'll go there."
