Chapter 677
When Lin Yan returned home, a blush could not help but appear on her face as she thought about the pact she had made with Jiang Hao.
This was naturally noticed by Elder Lin, who had grown up watching her, so he laughed lightly before shaking his head and secretly thinking to himself.
If only he could give Lin Yan happiness like this. I just hope that the Shen family will not retaliate.
The imagination was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
For the Shen family, who had wanted to marry the Lin family, Lin Yan had not only fallen in love with another man. She was even pregnant with a child!
Such a thing was a great shame to Shen Qing Shu!
What's more, the Shen family had been talking about the marriage with the Lin family when their grandmother had mentioned it to them. Because it had already been agreed.
They had even prepared the wedding invitation and other things, but now the bride had become someone else's bride, and their dang Shen family had been withdrawn from the marriage!
Such an insult, whether it was Shen Qing Shu or Shen Wen Nian, could not bear it!
Thinking about this matter, Shen Wennian sat in his chair with a gloomy face as he looked at a document on his desk.
It was the business cooperation plan he had prepared with the Lin family, but now it was no longer usable.
Shen Qing Shu looked at the gloomy look on his old man's face and asked, holding back his anger, "Dad, what are you going to do about this matter?"
Shen Wennian looked at Shen Qingshu who was sitting next to him, then frowned and said in a low voice, "What do you think should be done?"
"I think we should start sanctioning the Lin family from all sides, otherwise after this matter is known by the Xue family and others. They will still think that our Shen family is a toothless tiger and that anyone can come and step on it!"
Hearing these words, Shen Wennian nodded and spoke through clenched teeth, "Good, my son has grown up now and knows how to defend the dignity of our Shen family!"
After saying this Shen Wennian looked at Shen Qingshu and said, "In what way do you plan to sanction?"
Shen Qing Shu pondered for a moment, thinking of the Lin family after Elder Lin fell ill last time.
All parties cooperated in finding ways to withdraw from the Lin family's capital chain, fearing that they would be affected by this incident and suffer losses.
The Lin family's capital chain should be very fragile now, so as long as he puts some effort into this, he will not worry about not being able to deal with the Lin family.
Thinking of this. Shen Qing Shu spoke with a gloomy face, "I suddenly don't want to sanction the Lin family, I want to swallow the Lin family in one bite!"
After saying this, he looked at Shen Wennian who looked surprised and said, "Dad, at present, the biggest cooperation project we have with the Lin family is the engineering project of Xichunju, right?"
After hearing this, Shen Wennian nodded and said, "Well, that's not bad, this engineering project is a total of three billion, and we both invested fifteen each."
Speaking here, Shen Wennian paused and then spoke with some self-deprecation, "At first, we thought that the marriage would be successful. So we also made certain concessions on the shares, and they took up fifty-nine percent of the shares."
Shen Qing Shu nodded slightly after hearing this. He then looked at Shen Wennian and spoke, "Leave the engineering project of Xishanju to me, I will definitely swallow up the Lin family!"
Looking at Shen Qing Shu with such a confident look, Shen Wennian finally agreed after a moment of contemplation.
At this moment, Lin Yan, who was fantasising about marrying Jiang Hao, hadn't noticed in the slightest that the Shen family had already started to take revenge on her.
She was still immersed in the joy that Jiang Hao had agreed to this matter. It was not until Elder Lin could not bear to watch and spoke, "Isn't it time for you to come to your senses?"
Lin Yan was startled to hear this as she sat in her room, then turned her head to look out the door but saw that it was Elder Lin at the door.
So she spoke a little sheepishly, "Grandpa, you've come so far."
Master Lin smiled and then looked at her and said, "Walk with me to the back garden. There's something I need to talk to you about."
Lin Yan then got up and pushed Elder Lin to the back garden, and as she walked Lin Yan spoke, "What is there to say, Grandpa."
Elder Lin looked at the red flowers that filled the courtyard and said thoughtfully, "Although Lin Dong's father and son have not gone out, the position of general manager of the company is already yours, so there is something I need to talk to you about."
Speaking here, Elder Lin's expression was somewhat worried as he spoke, "The reason why our Lin family can't get much money this time is because we had a cooperation project with the Shen family before, you know about this matter, right?"
Lin Yan nodded after hearing this and spoke, "Xichunju. I know, the planned investment is three billion. It seems that our family has already invested fifteen billion now, right?"
Elder Lin smiled bitterly and nodded after hearing this and said, "That's right, but because our side holds fifty-nine percent of the shares. So on top of the original, we have invested another five hundred million into it."
After hearing this, Lin Yan looked at the old man with some surprise, "How could this be? It's the end of the year when you should be contracting your capital, how can you do such a big thing without telling your family!"
At this moment, Old Master Lin shook his head and laughed bitterly inwardly.
This matter was not essentially his doing, but his grandmother had been contacting the Shen family over there, saying that they wanted to build the best community in all of North Province!
If the two of them were to take the lead, the Shen family would be responsible for taking care of the various paperwork, and the landlubbers.
They, on the other hand, would be responsible for contacting the various engineering teams and overseeing the construction.
The investment of funds is a joint obligation of both parties, and for this matter, the old grandmother even promised Lin Yan to the Shen family.
Why else would the Shen family want to marry the Lin family for no reason, but because of this project?
The plan was for three billion, but now that it's halfway built, it's already costing three billion, so it's not enough!
And now after the Lin family has experienced their own serious illness, many of their previous partners have withdrawn their capital for fear of suffering losses.
They were now so burdened by this matter that they could not speak of their suffering!
Thinking of this, Elder Lin sighed deeply and said, "I support you in your pursuit of happiness, and you can see my attitude, but the Shen family, you have to guard against it."
Lin Yan was standing behind the old man, and after hearing these words, her face was so gloomy that it was difficult for people to approach her.
If one could say how joyful Lin Yan's heart was just now, how cold her heart was now.
It seemed that no matter how much she got along with her old grandmother, no matter how much kindness she showed to her, she was nothing more than a bargaining chip to her old grandmother.
Master Lin saw that Lin Yan had stopped instead of pushing her wheelchair.
So he also lowered his head and spoke with a somewhat complicated expression, "It's alright, go and do what you want to do without worry, I will find a way to solve this matter."
Lin Yan shook her head when she heard this and spoke in a calm tone, "No need, since I am already the general manager of Lin's group, I will take care of this matter."
Chapter 678
Despite these words, Elder Lin's words could not help but bring a trace of gloom to Lin Yan's heart.
The Shen family was not someone to be messed with, and this matter had almost become a common sense in the entire Northern Province.
And what she had done this time was simply considered an insult to the Shen family. She also did not believe that the Shen family would let it go.
But at the moment, the Lin family had already experienced a heavy blow in terms of funds after Elder Lin fell ill, and it was simply impossible to recover in a short time.
Thinking about these things, Lin Yan could not help but feel a pounding pain in her head as she lay on the bed after returning to her room.
Early the next morning. Lin Yan packed up and went to the company. As soon as she entered, a group of people in the company saluted Lin Yan.
Because they all knew that something seemed to have happened to the Lin family. The original general manager of Lin Nan stepped down and the previous Lin Yan became the general manager.
As soon as she arrived at work, Lin Yan went straight to the general manager's office, where Lin Nan was currently sitting in his office quietly looking out of the window.
After noticing Lin Yan come in, he looked out the window without looking back and said, "I really like this position, do you know why?"
Lin Yan looked at her uncle with a somewhat complicated expression, when she was small, her uncle was still quite good to her, but since she had grown up.
He was no longer the same person who loved her back then, but saw herself as a kind of competitor.
Faced with such a situation, Lin Yan didn't even know what kind of mentality she should use to face him.
So Lin Yan, who heard these words, shook her head in silence. Not opening her mouth to reply.
On the other hand, Lin Nan turned his head and spoke with a smile on his face, "Because this place is high enough, so high that I can't see how small the people below me are."
After saying this, Lin Nan got up and walked over to Lin Yan, holding the box he had already packed.
At this moment, Lin Nan's face looked at Lin Yan with a somewhat complicated expression, this little girl whom he loved at first had finally grown up.
"You have to be careful sitting in this position, because every move you make concerns the tens of thousands of staff families below our Lin family."
Lin Yan took a deep breath and nodded looking at Lin Nan, "Is this the advice you are giving me uncle?"
Lin Nan shook his head back with a bitter smile, "No, this is a warning to you, there are times when compromise is also a strategy, you will understand this statement."
After saying this Lin Nan intended to leave, while Lin Yan stood in place for a while in silence before suddenly speaking, "Uncle, wait for a moment, attend the board meeting later."
Lin Nan snorted at these words, "What's the point of attending a board meeting. To let others admire your victorious stance and then compare it with me?"
With that Lin Nan left without looking back, only what Lin Yan wouldn't know was that Lin Nan swore he would sit back down again!
When Lin Nan had left, Lin Yan walked behind the luxurious desk and sat down, was this the position of being in control of the entire Lin family?
No, it wasn't!
The real position of control of the Lin family was not this luxurious office on the top floor of the fifty-sixth floor, but the 300 year old mansion of the Lin family.
That is where the fate of the Lin family is truly controlled. This was just a location for others to see.
Lin Yan snorted and shook her head at this thought, she would at least not be a bargaining chip for her grandmother to sacrifice at will now.
Now she at least had a point of dignity of her own in front of her old grandmother. She would not be used at her whim.
After a moment's contemplation, Lin Yan convened a board meeting, which basically consisted of some of the Lin family's side relatives.
They would normally only appear on days like this when there was a handover of power, other than that they would hardly bother with the Lin family's affairs.
As for Lin Yan, the daughter of the former head of the family. The crowd couldn't help but have a few more complex flavours in their hearts.
How could such a woman be in this position and not them.
The eight people sitting throughout the conference room all looked towards Lin Yan, while Lin Yan sat in the main seat and nodded haughtily.
"Uncles and uncles, from now on it is I who will be the president of the Lin Group. I would like to ask all the uncles and uncles to give me more guidance in the future."
Although the crowd all had a hint of contempt for Lin Yan in their hearts, the faces of businessmen were never short of smiles.
They all praised Lin Yan.
It would have been an unexpected pleasure, and they would have been delighted with it!
Since Lin Yan had experienced the incident with Lin Dong and his son, she had become a little more wary of these people.
The business world was like a battlefield, and even brothers in arms were not allowed to show any mercy in the business world.
On their first day together, Lin Yan did not feel anything at all about the smiles on these people's faces. Instead, she thought that these people were a bunch of old foxes.
It was because after she told them what Elder Lin had said yesterday about the Xichunju project, they all said they couldn't help.
To put it simply, there was nothing they could do. There is no money and even less life. At the end of the year, they still had to share the dividends!
When Lin Yan saw how tough the people were, she couldn't hold a kitchen knife to people's necks and ask for money. So the matter had to be left alone.
When the day's work was over, Lin Yan returned home and complained to Elder Lin, "I can't understand why we have to keep such a bunch of useless people!"
Hearing this, Elder Lin looked at Lin Yan with a smile and shook his head before speaking, "There are many things in this world that you can't understand, so you need to learn to think from a different perspective."
Hearing these words, Lin Yan looked at Elder Lin with some curiosity and spoke, "What does it mean to think from a different perspective?"
"They are the Lin family's people, if you don't raise them now, then by the time someone else comes to raise them, this family business of yours will almost be gone."
After saying this, Elder Lin sat in his wheelchair and looked towards Lin Yan and smiled, "Do you understand?"
Lin Yan was silent for a while before nodding slightly, but thinking of their faces when they couldn't get the money for the Xichunju project and had to have a dividend at the end of the year, Lin Yan was really a bit angry!
"But right now the money for the Xichunju project has already been invested, and they will soon want another dividend at the end of the year!"
Speaking of this, Lin Yan said, "Last time, the Chen Group withdrew their capital, and if it wasn't for Dr. Shen pulling in 50 million for me from somewhere, that project would almost have been stopped!"
Lin Yan's head ached when she thought of these things, the Lin family was like walking a tightrope at the moment.
Now all the families are shrinking their funds, but only the Lin family is still forcing itself to continue, such a feeling makes Lin Yan feel very uneasy.
