- Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan were investigating Lin Hai's origins at the Columbia Festival, originally with the aim of suppressing Lin Wei's lineage.
Most of the people at the Columbia Festival dinner were internal employees of the company. The drama at that banquet was just to weaken Lin Wei's internal influence.
As for when Tian Xiaotian came to the manor, they had no other worries, because in their view, the Tennessee family's position as the Lin family's main raw material supplier was impossible to change in the future. It was already a certainty. Therefore, the political marriage between the Tian and Lin families is imperative. So in the eyes of Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan at that time, there was no doubt that Tian Xiaotian was Lin Hai's destined partner.
But I didn¡¯t expect that such a change would happen across the land. Of course they didn't know what Tennessee was thinking, and they only believed that this was the result of Tian Xiaotian's strong opposition.
Hearing Lin Wei's words "no more involvement", they felt regretful. This was like shooting themselves in the foot. What happened today was that losing the supply of the Tennessee family was not a big deal. You must know the channels for obtaining raw materials, not only Just for the Tennessee family, the cancellation of this established political marriage would be a great loss to the Lin family's current reputation.
At the banquet, some people were shaking their heads in private, "We were originally at the bottom of the Mecha Formula League, and now the cooperation of the Tennessee family has been shattered. It seems that the big tree of the Lin family is inevitably declining?"
"The foundation laid by the old count is now worse than ever before" Many people murmured.
"Tomorrow morning, the newspapers of the Riverside Star will definitely make the matter of today's Wayne Company annual meeting known to everyone near and far. I don't know what those venomous snake-like critics will say!"
Of course, the decline of a planet's Speaker family is nothing to the empire, but on Riverside, it is a major event that everyone knows. Every day in the empire, nobles change and die. Is the Lin family going to follow the same path now?
At this time, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan were puffing on cigarettes and did not dare to look at the family brothers and business veterans who were looking at them with cold eyes. Originally, among the nobility, intra-family struggles were commonplace. However, generally speaking, it will never affect the overall situation.
The internal struggle between Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan to compete for the position of the head of the family became more and more intense, and finally developed to the point where it is now. Doesn't this prove the incompetence of these brothers and heirs of the old earl?
The two of them now have never felt so dejected and embarrassed. Those who used to be optimistic about them within the family now looked suspicious for the first time.
At this moment, Zhao Jing, as if to ease the atmosphere, answered the phone and said, "I have a distinguished guest who just stopped here, why don't you invite him in to sit down? This friend, it seems to your Lin family, I can¡¯t refuse it either.¡±
Lin Wei¡¯s face was livid and silent, while Tennessee¡¯s face was red and white. If Zhao Jing hadn¡¯t been present, he would have thought of leaving immediately with his family.
The alliance between the Tianlin family seems to have completely broken down at this moment.
Not long after, the "distinguished guest" Zhao Jing mentioned was welcomed in at the door of the manor.
The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by two men, one fat and one thin, walking with a lively pace.
Seeing this person, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan could no longer sit still and stood up.
"Principal Rhodes!"
Principal Rhodes?
At the banquet, many people immediately looked up because of this name. Unexpectedly, they could see Rhodes, the president of Imperial Granite University, at this annual meeting!
??******
Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan didn¡¯t know about Principal Rhodes.
The Lin family asked top headhunter Richard to help, and through the relationship between Richard and Rhodes, Lin Hai entered Granite University to study. You must know that Lin Hai did not have the foundation to study in any imperial college before. According to the imperial college admission regulations, Lin Hai's qualifications did not meet the admission requirements of any imperial college.
It is basically impossible to enter a university with extremely high thresholds in the empire. However, through Richard's relationship, Granite University was able to open a place for Lin Hai as a visiting scholar. Everything needs to be nodded by the principal, Rhodes.
The Lin family usually communicates with Rhodes through Richard, but they didn¡¯t expect that at today¡¯s annual meeting, Rhodes would actually come in person?
"Principal Rhodes happened to be in Riverside for an exchange visit. He heard about today's Wayne Corporation annual meeting, so he took the time to come over. Chairman Lin will not blame me, Zhao Jing, for overstepping and acting as the master." Zhao Jing He stepped forward, stood side by side with Rhodes, and said to Lin Wei.
The one who has a very good relationship with RhodesThe appearance made everyone present in the Lin family feel slightly dumbfounded.
They never expected that President Rhodes of Granite University would have an extraordinary relationship with the Zhao family.
"Here, Principal Rhodes, you are the distinguished guest of my Lin family. Your arrival makes me, Lin Wei, feel a great honor." Lin Wei also had excellent concentration, as if the break with the Tennessee family just now was forgotten. . Shake hands with Rhodes and then lead him into the table.
Rhodes is a tall and thin man, with a pair of shining eyes on his thin cheekbones and a capable temperament. He nodded towards Lin Wei, not showing any sign of honor because of the respect shown in his words by a noble family head who was the speaker of the House.
To be honest, although Granite University is not the top university in the empire, it is still ranked 145th in the empire.
The empire has five major star regions, a population of tens of billions, and a territory of several light years. It is such an honor to be able to rank among the top two hundred universities. It is also a place that many people dream of entering under the starry sky. Even in Riverside, only a few hundred people have been admitted to the top 200 universities.
Rhodes, there is nothing he has not experienced before. Not to mention the Speaker of the Planetary Parliament, the Earl of the Empire, and no matter how great the nobles are, he has dealt with them all. So he maintained a well-informed indifference to all this.
What¡¯s more, the Hebian Xinglin family still needs his help. And he had nothing to rely on Lin Wei.
Zhao Jing smiled "haha", faced the gazes around him, and talked eloquently, "Principal Rhodes and I have been old friends for many years. I have always been proud and proud to have such a well-known friend in the education industry. Recently. I just heard that you are planning to send your son to Granite University. If you had known about this, would you have told me that there is no need to go to such trouble No, let's take advantage of old Rhodes' free opportunity to visit. , I invited him to be a guest in person, and things were not that complicated.¡±
The meaning of these words is extremely obvious. Didn¡¯t you, Lin Wei, break up with Tennessee? I, Zhao Jing, personally found the president of Granite University. Why don¡¯t you refuse in person for that little bit of arrogance?
Everyone was in an uproar, "The president of Granite University and the speaker of the House, Zhao Jing, are actually old friends This Zhao Jing has a lot of face"
"It is said that Mitsubishi Corporation has developed extremely well in recent years, and Zhao Jing's support rate has also been rising sharply. His connections tsk tsk"
"The Speaker of Riverside Star can actually move the president of one of the top 100 universities in the empire The energy of the Zhao family is getting bigger and bigger"
While people were impressed by the energy of the Zhao family, they had a different perception of Lin Hai.
They all felt that although the fate of Lin Hai's first half was very sad, God was not kind to him now. After all, the Lin family was willing to take him back from Riverside Star, and now he is about to enter Granite University. Maybe this academy is not attractive to those outstanding people, but there are thousands of people in the empire who want to enter such an academy but have been eliminated.
Facing Zhao Jing¡¯s words, Lin Wei gritted his teeth secretly, but under the table, his hand was held by his wife Ning Qing.
Lin Wei was startled, then stretched out his other hand, put it on the back of Ning Qing's hand, and patted it gently. Although he was furious at the implicit provocation in Zhao Jing's words, Lin Wei was not stupid. The previous break with Tennessee was because Tennessee's plan to abolish the marriage was already on the table. In front of everyone present at the banquet, once he compromised, the reputation of the Lin family would be damaged.
So he has to be tough.
But it was different now, Zhao Jing wished he could refuse. It is best to let Lin Hai study at Granite University be shattered. Once this opportunity is lost, it will be impossible for the Lin family to find a university among the top 100 in the empire and let Lin Hai, who has no foundation, enter.
And the other top 100 colleges in the empire will not change the rules for Lin Hai and accept him. Then this Lin Hai might really become a useless person and become an alien existence that would poke the backbone of the Lin family.
Lin Wei's expression softened, he smiled at Zhao Jing, and then faced Rhodes seriously. His tall body, which had never been bent, was bent at nearly 90 degrees, and he bowed lightly, "That's it, Lin Wei, please leave it to Principal Rhodes!¡±
***********
"Ha!" Lin Wei, who had never bowed to anyone before, actually bowed to Rhodes. This made Lin Wei, who was wearing a red dress, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Father!" Although he was dissatisfied with being suppressed by his father's majesty, Lin Hao opened his mouth at this time and bowed down for Lin Wei. His chest was filled with humiliation, anger, and hatred for Lin Hai. Anger and disgust. His own father, for the sake of an illegitimate son, had defrauded him for most of his life. He was arrogant and penniless.?¡¯s waist!
This damn Lin Hai!
This time, even Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan were silent. The heirs next to them, Link and Lin Delun, were vaguely shocked to see another side of Lin Wei.
In their impression, this uncle, the head of the family, has always been known for being cold, arrogant and strict.
Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, for the first time at this time, were not dissatisfied with Lin Wei. If it were them in the same situation, they would probably be willing to do this for their two sons. So at this moment, they only had the resonance and inexplicable lament of being fathers. If their son was also an abandoned son like Lin Hai, what could they do? Can he lower his arrogant figure for the sake of his future?
Tennessee's eyes flickered. After all, Lin Wei was thinking about his son, and he had to think about his daughter. He would rather break up with the Lin family alliance than force his daughter to be unhappy. It¡¯s all for the next generation!
Lin Wei's respect before did not move Rhodes in any way. However, Lin Wei's behavior at this moment made Rhodes a little flattered. He quickly stood up and supported Lin Wei, with a trace of infected expression on his face. , "Your Majesty, the count said something serious"
Zhao Jing, who obviously had not thought that Lin Wei would bow his head, snorted lightly and was noncommittal.
"So, I wonder who this kid named Lin Hai is here?" Rhodes raised his head slightly and scanned the table.
He actually guessed who Lin Hai was, but he didn't intend to communicate with him just now, but now because of Lin Wei's face, Rhodes paid attention to him.
Mrs. Ning Qing looked in the direction of Lin Hai, "Mr. Rhodes, this is Lin Hai!"
Rhode then turned his attention to him, observed him, and said, "He is a very smart young man I heard that you grew up in Haizhou Star?"
People knew that Rhodes was inspecting Lin Hai in disguise, so the atmosphere became a little solemn.
Lin Hai nodded.
Rhodes memorized every detail of his face and found that Lin Hai did not have any expressions of inferiority, disgust, or reluctance to think deeply about it. He was somewhat satisfied, "You are very confident. I hope you can maintain this confidence. After all, Not everyone who comes out of Haizhou Star is a big thief, a habitual criminal, and a mediocre person. And you need to prove this!"
Immediately, Rhodes sighed, "After entering the academy, study hard. In today's era, no matter whether you are born with a golden key or not without knowledge and skills, you will be unable to move forward! No matter how big the family fortune is, if you don't have How many generations can we maintain a strong ability?¡±
?? Rhodes¡¯ words were very resounding. The dinner table seemed a little quiet unknowingly because of his admonishing words.
Yes, how many nobles in the empire have died, and how many new nobles have risen. There are many situations where the previous generations were excellent, but the incompetence of the younger generations led to the weakening of the family. The Lin family is in such a situation now. In contrast, the current rise of the Zhao family is closely related to the two third-generation figures who can take on important responsibilities. If you want to be brilliant and wonderful in this materialistic world, you can only be strong by yourself.
Just when everyone present was thinking deeply about his words, at the highest point of the dark blue starry sky above everyone's heads, among the twinkling stars, a star with a brightness different from other stars suddenly appeared.
This star is not only brighter than other stars, but also moving. Like a shooting star.
It¡¯s just that it doesn¡¯t move diagonally across the sky, but moves vertically downward from the sky in the distance.
It seems to be moving, but in fact people know that its speed in the sky is so fast that this bright star drags a looming tail like crystal glittering dust at night.
The abnormality of this star was so dazzling at the Lin family¡¯s open-air annual banquet at night that people stretched out their hands and pointed at the bright star moving in the sky.
Looking at the sky, this trailing bright star fell from the sky, and it was indeed coming towards the annual dinner party where countless people gathered in the Lin family.
The spotlights on the banquet broke through and illuminated the clouds with the Wayne Company LOGO.
The bright star appears in the troposphere of the sky. It is an unmanned aerial vehicle.
It has a spherical body, milky white paint, and the words "Imperial Planet Express" on it.
This is a planetary delivery drone responsible for express delivery.
The final assembly transfer station of this kind of drone is located at the airport of the planet, which can accurately deliver the materials that each customer needs to send to the receiving location.
The milky white drone in front of youThe drone, like an angel from the ancient earth era, flew vertically from far away in the sky with some kind of mission. The huge roar even shocked the entire annual banquet, and the menacing-looking drone even more Some of the ladies and ladies present were busy tying up their skirts, exposing their beautiful calves, and quickly hid aside as if they were frightened.
The Planet Express aircraft arrived over the banquet. After a simple scan with red light, it quickly spiraled down and arrived at the top of Lin Hai's head. Then a white spotlight shrouded Lin Hai in a beam of light from top to bottom.
At the dim Wayne Company annual meeting banquet, the band stopped playing due to an unexpected situation, and everyone looked at the white light beam falling from the sky in surprise
It shrouded Lin Hai in it.
Between the light pillars, white catkins floated around Lin Hai, like a celestial being, reflected in everyone's eyes.
People don¡¯t understand how this planet express aircraft found Lin Hai at this time.
I don¡¯t know who it is that sent him an extraterrestrial object!
After the drone's scanner analyzed Lin Hai from top to bottom, a mechanical synthesized voice sounded over the banquet that gradually quieted down from the rustling sound, "Empire Citizen Lin Hai, ID number HZ199303191919, you have a letter delivered, please check!"
"Send a letter" Lin Hai was obviously a little confused. These days, what kind of letter cannot be sent electronically, and such an expensive planetary express business needs to be used, "Where did it come from?"
"Sender - Official signature: Daying Empire Qingyuan College."
Along with this official signature, the entire banquet scene went through uproar one after another.
Then there were countless noisy voices of doubt.
"Qingyuan Collegedid you hear that right?"
"What's going on? There's a letter from Qingyuan College. Does this illegitimate son of the Lin family know people in the college?"
"How can people from Qingyuan College know people who come from slums?"
¡¡
Various sounds were rustling, and the annual banquet seemed to have suddenly turned into a rocky shore with waves.
"please check!"
With the last synthesized sound, the round aircraft floated down, and the cabin in the belly slowly opened with the sound of mechanical movement. In the storage compartment, there was a letter wrapped in a simple yet grand style.
In modern society, it is already a luxury to send paper letters and other items through "Planet Express". What is often sent are some important documents.
These important documents have signatures and signatures, which cannot be replaced by electronic letters.
Lin Hai took out the letter and after confirming that there was nothing in the storage compartment, he pressed his thumb on the fingerprint recognition of the aircraft to sign for it.
The aircraft retracted its storage compartment, and then with a huge blast of air, the aircraft turned into a trailing light and returned to the airport outside the planet. In the night sky, it turned into a bright stardust that flickered away.
Only Lin Hai was left holding the letter in the huge banquet in full view of everyone.
Then Lin Hai saw that at the other end of the table, which was a little messy by the airflow, Earl Lin Wei was staring at him with a stern but unable to hide his weird expression. After a while, he curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "What are you holding in your hand?" What is?"
