Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lin Hai once returned from the extraterrestrial planet Pandora, and when he stayed temporarily on the Riverside Star, he reported back to Earl Lin Wei information about the mysterious ghost fleet in outer space and the powerful forces behind it, interrupting Lin Wei's intention to conduct an in-depth investigation.  During this process, Zhao Jing had already obeyed the law and was imprisoned in the Star District Detention Prison. If nothing unexpected happened, the evidence currently available would be enough for him, a former planetary speaker, to spend seventy years in prison.

    However, in prison, Zhao Jing did not know whether he got the news of the death of his two sons, or for other reasons. Zhao Jing used a pistol that somehow avoided surveillance to sneak into the "Storm Island" prison, the strictest prison in the sector.  He put it under his jaw and ended his life with a gunshot.

    The three major speakers of Hepanxing who were still looking at the direction of the wind before quickly expressed their attitudes. In the process of clearing up the situation in Hepanxing, they showed their clear sincerity and provided a lot of force for the actions of Speaker Lin Wei.  support.

    The special investigation team established by the Star District Council here also cooperated with the actions of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation. Because the Riverside Star side did not provide more in-depth investigation evidence, the review of the scandal against the members of the Parliament was closed.  A full stop.

    At the beginning of this cleanup, the investors of Wayne Company were panicked and demoralized, because no one was optimistic about the Lin family's chances of winning in this war on Riverside Star. If it weren't for the fact that it was too stupid to withdraw capital at this time because the situation was unclear, they would have long ago  That's probably what was done.  However, when the Zhao family's clues were dug out and made public, the District Council and the Imperial Bureau of Investigation intervened, and Zhao Jing was taken away by a heavily armed task force.  This has brought an end to the political turmoil in Riverside Star.

    Wayne Company's status in the sector immediately increased dramatically. During the time when the Star District Council intervened in the war and the Imperial Bureau of Investigation launched an investigation into the Zhao family, several investment groups secretly contacted Wayne Company and established a new  Investment cooperation plan.  Wayne Company seemed to have won an exciting victory in this battle.

    The unfavorable situation of Riverside Star has been reversed, and a new district speaker will be elected in the second half of the year.  But in terms of the situation, Lin Wei's prestige and status as the leader of the five major speakers have been completely consolidated.

    But this is just the appearance.  The real core crisis is coming from outside the Milan star circle, from the Lin family, the head of the Lily family, in the capital star circle.  And the forces opposing the Earl of Riverside Star in the Star District Council, represented by Star District Speaker Garnerson, gradually emerged.

    The two biggest killers are the Lin family¡¯s military contract crisis and the mining rights of New South Star.  They are all invisibly pressing forward step by step to destroy the foundation of the Hebian Xinglin family.

    The elimination of Speaker Zhao Jing is more like Lin Wei making his final adjustments to ensure that the entire family enters the final fighting posture and is in the best condition to withstand those big shocks from outside. Regardless of these two shocks, the Lin family will  Will we still have a foothold on Riverside, a planet that has been struggling and pioneering for nearly a century? Will Wayne Company be disintegrated internally and externally?  But even if they are defeated and defeated, they will never give in to external pressure. This seems to be the bloody nature of the River Star Lin family since the great development period.

    Before Lin Hai left Riverside Star, the count told him that he would have a meal together at Milan Star for a while.

    Even if external threats are getting closer and closer, the celebration of staged victory still needs to be carried out.  This also plays a role in stabilizing military morale between Wayne Company and the Lin family.

    Even though Lin Wei had made preparations that they would not be able to survive the joint attack of the two giants, the Lily Noble and the Ganson District Speaker, until the last moment, as a warrior, you must fight with strength and a smile.

    Therefore, the celebration banquet after the District Council concludes the case still needs to be held.

    But unfortunately, on this day, Lin Hai met Xia Ying again in the college.  Since I agreed that the girl would treat me to dinner, I couldn't miss this family banquet.  So Lin Hai thought of a compromise for the first time.

    Although no matter from any angle, this method is so shocking.

    Lin Hai is somewhat naturally slow when it comes to treating girls, so he has no idea how difficult it is for Xia Ying to attend such a banquet.

    But it seemed that Xia Ying agreed without hesitation.

    The banquet was held at the venue of Milan Star Wayne Branch, with a green lawn outside.

    People are arriving one after another.

    Because this was not an external banquet, most of the people who came were relatives of the Lin family and senior members of the board of directors of the Wayne Group. It was somewhat similar to a family banquet.  The main business of the Lin family is in Hepanxing. This is just a branch, and the important person in charge is Lin Wei.  Originally, there were not many important family elders here, but because the Star District Council had just concluded the Zhao Jing case, all the important elders of the family came together with the family leader Lin Wei.

    And Countess Ning Qing¡¯s family status in Milan?, was also invited to come.

    "Dear Lord Ninglangbo, I am honored to have you here this time. I want to assure you that we will have more common topics in the future based on the interactions and business we have had in the past few times." Lin Jiang said  Ning Langbo, the representative of the Ning family, was greeted warmly on the other end.  Talking and laughing.  Lin Jiang is a relatively mean-spirited person in the family. He is a bit flattering in his personality and is also a versatile character.

    The butler Tang Nahai who greeted the guests at the door looked at the figure of Lin Jiang in the family surrounding Ning Langbo, with a slight disdain.  The Lin family has not really fallen yet. Although the external threats are imminent, and although the Lily Flower nobles have drawn their swords and have not really dueled with them, these cowardly people have been frightened to the point of weakening by the light of those swords.  Prepare your escape route.

    Countess Ning Qing¡¯s family is a representative of the emerging western aristocracy in Milan.  The family only completed the original wealth accumulation of capital in just fifty years. According to the laws that have been proven countless times, when capital completes wealth accumulation, it begins to seek status and power.

    But in the eyes of the old aristocrats in the upper east side of the empire, these new aristocrats in the west side are really no different from the nouveau riche. In the 1980s, the aristocrats in the upper east side of Milan set a "bloodline only theory" and strictly prohibited it.  Upper East Side aristocrats married with West Side nouveau riche to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Upper East Side aristocracy.  It's like a strict conservation policy.  Most of the Upper East Side are old aristocrats who have lived here for centuries, and most of them are related to each other.  It's like an alliance between the five major marquis families, one prospered and the other suffered losses.  They intermarried with each other, blended wealth and power with each other, and maintained the Milan Star Circle and the reputation barrier of the Upper East nobility.

    In the last century, the West District nobles began to rise. Their biggest feature was that as they entered the Star District Council, they began to obtain certain opportunities, which allowed them to accumulate wealth rapidly.  However, there is still a huge gap in the power and prestige of the upper east aristocrats, so the rising capital in the west began to seek to truly join the aristocratic class.

    So the Ning family at that time finally entered into a marriage alliance with Lin Wei, a riverside star who desperately needed financial support to seek the earldom.

    After so many years, when the aristocratic barriers in the Upper East Side gradually collapsed with the growth of capital in the West Side, the Ning family naturally began to regret their decision back then.  After all, it now seems that the Riverside Xinglin family is threatened by the Lily Flower noble family, and now this family is declining.  As a result, the Ning family began to look down upon the Lin family more and more, and looked forward to the day when they would break away from the relationship.

    Ning Langbo is now the leader of the Ning family and an outstanding figure among the Western District plutocrats.  I just received the status of Viscount from the King this year.  Although there are hundreds of life-long non-inherited viscounts in the empire this year, in the West District of Milan Star, it is enough to increase his status.

    The Ning family is rich, and for Lin Jiang and others in the family who had long planned to separate the family, fawning over Ning Langbo at this time is naturally not optimistic about Lin Wei's outcome in this parliamentary struggle.  Although at the Planet Council, Lin Wei had defeated the Zhao family and gained the initiative, at the Star District Council, the Lin family was in a completely precarious situation.

    In fact, Donnerhai didn't know that this family dinner was Earl Linwei's appeasement to the entire family and all investor board members.  It also just illustrates the situation, which is heading towards a very unfavorable situation.  The count could only use this method to gather people's hearts.

    Looking at Master Lin Wei¡¯s back, Tang Nahai couldn¡¯t help but feel his heart tighten How long can the Lin family and Wayne Company last?

    "I heard that Lin Delun was honored to be named one of the ten outstanding young people of Wharton Business School this year Congratulations to Uncle Yuanshan." On the other side, some arriving family relatives were congratulating Lin Yuanshan and his son. Lin Delun next to Lin Yuanshan was wearing a jersey.  With a tall and well-proportioned figure and a certain confident smile, he and his father humbly responded to the congratulatory family members, while at the same time, they seemed to capture Lin Wei's figure in the field.

    Among the relatives inside and outside the family and the veterans of the Wayne Company, there have been rumors and impressions that the family leader Lin Wei's son Lin Hao is not as promising as his two brothers Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang's heirs, and that the future family leader will not be able to survive.

    So much so that many people secretly regretted it and came up with the idea that if Lin Yuanshan or Lin Jiang were the head of the family, the current Wayne Company might have a better future.

    In fact, many times, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan have been secretly inducing them to create a certain trend within the family.

    This is a good card to package his son Lin Kelin, and contrast them with Lin Hao. Over time, many people in the family will gradually lose confidence in Lin Wei, thus helping them establish a prestigious faction.

    But all of this seemed to be frustrated when Lin Hai appeared.  Lin Hai was admitted to Qingyuan College. There was a conflict between the admission and the Skull and Bones Society. During the investigation, he was sheltered by Zheng Qiushui, the top five-member committee of the college. At the same time, he was actually exposed.He became the designer of the rotary engine.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the limelight, Lin Hai became a very unique existence in the family.

    Everyone in the family looked at Lin Hai in various ways.  I didn't expect that this young man born on a junk star would have such outstanding abilities in reading and seeking knowledge.  However, it takes more than ten or twenty years to cultivate a talent.  And now in the Lin family's crisis, what they lack most is time.  Even though Lin Hai is very capable in this area, after all, he is not the head of the family and cannot bear the ability to control a company or a family.  Even if his intellectual ability is very strong, it cannot save the Lin family from the imminent crisis.

    Despite this, they knew that Lin Hai's existence was not a big threat to uncles like Lin Yuanshan and Lin Jiang, but they still did not want to show weakness. Their heirs, Lin Ke and Lin Delun, were outstanding in the academy. As long as they found an opportunity, they would always  I will show it without hesitation.  Although he couldn't suppress Lin Hai, he at least couldn't show weakness.

    What's more, even Lin Hai's knowledge and ability in the college have been affirmed by the professor of Qingyuan College.  But it is an indisputable fact that he offended the Skull and Bones Society and other aristocratic classes in Milan.

    This is very thought-provoking.

    Therefore, among the Lin family, which had just calmed down the situation in the Zhao family and gained a temporary advantage, there were many opinions on Lin Hai's library incident. For example, one of the elders of the board of directors shook his head, "It's good for a person to have talent, but  It has always been a taboo to rely on one's talents and talents. Only academic scholars think that a person can travel across the universe if he has talent. But in fact, you will be subject to many restrictions In this world, there are many talents.  And aren¡¯t there many people who have lost their connections, offended big shots, and been suffocated to death? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that those talented scholars who were suppressed in the Academy of Sciences were kept in cold storage because they were unwilling to speak out for the powerful, their talents were all burned down.  Haven¡¯t there been enough people to see it throughout the ages?¡±

    "There are too many connections between the laws of aristocracy. It's a pity that he was born in a noble family, but he is a wild boy. After all, he has no experience in this field." Someone said regretfully, which was referring to Lin Hai's illegitimate son status.

    As for what happened to Lin Hai in the academy, people from Countess Ning Qing¡¯s natal Ning family were the most concerned.

    Ning Langbo, the leader and representative of the Ning family present today, looked around and frowned at Lin Jiang beside him, "Isn't that Lin Hai here yet?"

    Lin Jiang gave a cold look and said, "He is indeed a different kind. Although he has strong reading and learning skills and is a promising student in academic skills he has no rules and has always been lazy. On such an occasion, he didn't come first. Don't tell me.  In addition, Earl Linwei just won an accusation at the Star District Council. As one of the hosts, he was so negligent when his father welcomed the guests. Does he really not regard himself as a member of this family?  people?"

    As Lin Hao's uncle, Ning Langbo was obviously thinking about other things, and his eyebrows were a little cold. "Behind the Skull and Bones Society is the "Swan" Marquis Lou family. According to my information, the current heir of the Lou family,  As the leader of this academy's secret society, Lin Hai's actions at the investigation meeting were really stupid. Although he gained fame, was it not clear that this was equivalent to a slap in the face of the Marquis?  The five marquis families in the Upper East District have always been a big alliance. This Lin Hai probably doesn't know yet. The more conspicuous he is, the more he offends these nobles I'm not afraid of how capable you are, this  After all, the world is the world of the nobles. The power of speech, action, and even force are all in their hands The nobles want to deal with you, but it is only a matter of time for revenge. I don't want my nephew Lin Hao, because of this inexplicable situation.  Brother Cheap, how will the reputation of the upper east district nobles be affected in the future Fortunately, these nobles are only targeting Lin Hai, and have not included your Lin family in the scope of suppression"

    Although Ning Langbo¡¯s words were unpleasant and aroused some unpleasant emotions in him, Lin Jiang knew that what he said was the truth.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for the Lin family, only Earl Lin Wei is a member of the council.  The energy contrast is huge.  Now coupled with the threats from Speaker Garnerson and the Lily Flower nobles in the capital, the situation and future prospects of the Lin family in the District Council are really not optimistic.

    "Lin Hao is my nephew. This cannot be changed by blood. Moreover, he is also a member of our Ning family, so I will definitely consider it for him Let's not talk about these boring things." Ning Langbo Topic  Turning around, he looked at a gorgeously dressed woman accompanying Lin Jiang's son, Lin Ke.  This woman has thin lips, a slightly slender face, and small eyes, but her makeup is very bright. She can walk in the Lin family's family banquet with ease. She has obviously seen the world, and even her expression shows understanding.  Calm and calm in higher-level scenes.  Ning Langbo is no stranger to her. This woman is the daughter of a district councilor, and her father is also the deputy mayor of the capital city of Milan.

    "youLink's new girlfriend is really nice. She's the daughter of the deputy mayor, isn't she? Are you planning to get married?  "Ning Langbo said calmly.

    "Ahaha It's still early. Link is currently in his fourth year at Lincoln University. At least he will have to wait until he graduates next year and has a stable job before we talk about the marriage. It's not urgent anyway. They are still young"

    Lin Jiang's self-satisfied laughter came. Although to the ears of the people around him, these words sounded false But in this kind of situation, isn't it necessary to compliment each other?  Immediately some said, "Congratulations, won't we all have to toast with the deputy mayor of this city in two years?", "The daughter of the district councilor, Link, has really good vision. These two councilors  If the family gets married, you, Link, will be the one who leads the way."

    , "Honor this bastard Link" Flattery voices similar to this were heard everywhere, wrapping up the bright-faced Lin Jiang.

    "The faces of your family are really ugly." The brightly dressed little girlfriend next to Link laughed, "I heard that your family has an adopted daughter and an illegitimate son. Your family relationship is too complicated.  Order it.¡±

    The two greeted the guests with smiles, but they were whispering so quietly in private. Link seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a hesitant expression, "That's the problem of my uncle the earl It has nothing to do with my father's lineage."

    The daughter of the congressman said with a touch of pride, "Don't forget, I have no interest in this boring dinner party at your house. There are only two reasons why I was absent from the private party hosted by Miss Christine on the Upper East Side.  , One is because of you, and the other is, I really want to see what kind of arrogant person Lin Hai is like in your family, who has the courage to offend the "Skull and Bones Society" and the "Swan Marquis". By the way, Christine?  You know, right? The daughter of the old Stewart family in the Upper East Side. She rarely holds parties, but when she does, she invites the most famous young men and women on the planet."

    Link took her hand and said gently, "Of course I know you made this sacrifice for me. So I am very lucky to meet you."

    The woman's face changed slightly, "Link, you should know that I only chose to be your girlfriend because I still have some feelings for you. We just stay in this relationship. It's not what your family imagined,  Will I marry you in the future?"

    A trace of struggling and complicated emotions flashed across Link's face, and then he didn't refute or get angry. He just held her hand and said, "I know."

    The woman leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, nodded, "As long as you understand this. Love and marriage are two different things after all. The former is just about feelings between us, but the latter needs to be recognized by the family

    Outside the gate, Lin Wei was walking among the guests.  Lin Hao came over, leaned next to her, and whispered, "Why hasn't Lin Hai shown up yet?"

    Lin Hao is wearing a black suit with a bow tie on the collar. Although he is a little fat, he looks very energetic and has the temperament of a host.  But at this moment, he frowned slightly, "Does he know that this is a dinner attended by many members of the family and the company's board of directors? The purpose is to celebrate the exciting accusation. We won. Doesn't he know that we won?"  What will the elders in the family think of him if he doesn't show up on this occasion? Will it cause unnecessary misunderstandings? "

    Lin Wei stared at Lin Hao for a moment, watching his chubby face blush like an apple due to anger, and smiled, "The impression he gives to others is lowered. The more others misunderstand him, the more he is in the family."  The lower your status, the better it is for you. Don¡¯t you want to see this?¡±

    Lin Hao looked at Lin Wei with a mocking tone in surprise, and then he seemed to be stabbed and argued angrily, "Sister, this is the first time I don't like what you say. It's also the first time I'm so angry with you. Why are you so angry?"  Can you think that in your eyes, I am such a stupid person? "

    "If one day in the future, I inherit my father's position as the head of the family, and you think that I have a brother whose reputation in the family is ruined, those old foxes, will they really obey me? Although he is not an orthodox legitimate son, if we have  There is a huge conflict between them I am afraid that this is what many people in the family would like to see.

    Lin Wei smiled, reached out and scratched his head, "I'm very happy today. On the one hand, my father won the accusation. On the other hand, you do seem to have grown up. Don't worry. I sent him a message, and he  Already at the door."

    "Okay, I'll call him in." Lin Hao was about to leave, but suddenly noticed something and turned to look at Lin Wei, "You seem to be in a good mood?"

    Lin Wei put away her phone and said with a smile, "That's because he texted me back and told me that he had a female companion today.

    Lin Hao¡¯s eyes flickered and he clapped his hands and said, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is this a demonstration to you?¡±

    "It doesn't matter to me," Lin Wei twisted the wine glass in her hand and took a sip of the brown wine. It was slightly spicy when it went into her throat. She narrowed her eyes slightly and brightened up, and continued, "It's because of his identity as the designer of the rotary engine."Do you like his girl?  Could it be one of those spinsters from the institute?  I just hope that the female companion he brings will not affect the appetite and mood of the guests.  "
