Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Loss
“That’s not necessarily true,” Mrs. Lin still disbelievingly retorted, “Given Lu Youzhen’s nature, what wouldn’t she do for money?”
“Even if her relationship with Lu Youxi is extrely poor, as long as Lu Youxi offers her money, she will definitely agree to work for Lu Youxi,” Mrs. Lin said.
It was just that Lu Youxi wasn’t present, nor did Lu Youzhen hear Mrs. Lin’s words.
If both of them were there, they would have remained silent upon hearing Mrs. Lin’s remarks.
Because Mrs. Lin had actually hit the mark.
Lin Zhenghao nodded, “Exactly.”
“Moreover, is Lu Youxi an easy target?” At this point, in Lin Zhenghao’s mind, Lu Youxi had the image of a super villain, “What wouldn’t Lu Youxi do to sabotage our family?”
“She has indeed done many things detrintal to our family in the past,” Lin Zhenghao said.
It was quite sothing for Lin Zhenghao to admit.
Lin Zhenghao didn’t consider, how many tis was it he and Lin Jingshen who instigated problems?
It was always they who initiated disputes and, in turn, those disputes backfired onto themselves, leading to their own misfortune.
Lu Youxi hadn’t even taken action against them, she rely dealt with the troubles they had caused.
After dealing with them, the backlash fell onto them.
But in Lin Zhenghao’s view, it sohow beca Lu Youxi actively causing them trouble.
“So to speak, we really can’t rule out this possibility.” Mrs. Lin, with a cold expression and grinding her teeth, said, “Old Lin, have soone check this out later.”
“I’ll look into this matter,” Lin Zhenghao said, “You must keep a close eye on Lu Youzhen’s side, make sure she doesn’t get the chance to gossip.”
“Especially, this matter absolutely must not be revealed to the Jiang Family,” Lin Zhenghao ntioned, feeling depressed, “Originally, our family and the Jiang Family were well-matched. Not only was our family pleased with this marriage, but the Jiang Family was also very keen to facilitate it.”
“But since our social connections were ostracized by Zhou Shuyan, even business has been significantly affected, the Jiang Family’s attitude towards our family has changed from before. If they were to find out about Lu Youzhen carrying your child, you couldn’t even keep this engagent if you tried.” Lin Zhenghao was extrely worried now.
He had thought that if Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming were inadequate, at least he could rely on Lin Jingshen.
But then Lin Jingshen suddenly dropped a bomb on him.
It was then Lin Zhenghao realized, Lin Jingshen seed fine in front of him, but he didn’t know how Lin Jingshen behaved outside.
He couldn’t solve it himself, leading to such a big issue.
Lin Zhenghao couldn’t help but think that Zhou Shuyan’s ostracization of Lin’s social connections was also because of Lin Jingshen’s smart acts.
Lin Zhenghao was now also uneasy about entrusting Lin’s to Lin Jingshen.
At this point, all three sons were incompetent.
Lin Zhenghao didn’t know if he could hold on until another suitable successor ca along.
Lin Zhenghao sighed and looked towards Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming.
He warned, “If the Jiang Family finds out about this matter, I am questioning you both!”
Lin Jingcong imdiately expressed his dissatisfaction, “Dad, what do you an? Are we going to purposely tell the Jiang Family?”
“Stop acting in front of ,” Lin Zhenghao said uncompromisingly, “I know you are fiercely competing within Lin’s.”
“You guys compete, as long as it’s not too excessive, I generally don’t interfere. But now it involves our family’s interests, you had better make it clear. If this issue with Jingshen gets out, the Jiang Family will definitely call off the engagent,” Lin Zhenghao said coldly, “And the Jiang Family won’t kindly conceal the reason for calling off the engagent. Once others know the reason, there won’t be any suitable families willing to form a marriage alliance with ours.”
“This will affect our family’s business, and no matter which of you takes over Lin’s in the future, you will inevitably inherit a Lin’s that has suffered considerable losses,” Lin Zhenghao warned, “If you don’t want to inherit a ss in Lin’s, you better keep this matter confidential now.”
Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming were jolted by Lin Zhenghao’s reminder and suddenly ca to their senses.
Although they wanted to suppress Lin Jingshen, they didn’t want to inherit a deteriorating and ssy Lin’s.
Seeing their realization, Lin Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming were average in business sense, they weren’t foolish enough not to understand this.
He then said, “I think you might have so suspicion, thinking that I have been keeping Jingshen close lately because I want to groom him and eventually pass Lin’s on to him.”
Lin Jingcong, Lin Jingming, and Lin Jingshen all tensed up.
This was the first ti Lin Zhenghao had brought up this issue explicitly in front of them.
“You are overthinking it,” Lin Zhenghao said, “I’ve been keeping Jingshen close lately just to get him quickly acquainted with the company operations.”
“Jingshen is supposed to join the company after graduation; he certainly can’t start from scratch at that ti,” Lin Zhenghao explained, “I’m getting older, and by then I might not have enough energy to guide him.”
“When you two joined the company, I did the sa with you,” Lin Zhenghao continued, “I first kept Jingcong close and taught him hands-on. After Jingcong beca proficient with the company operations, it was just in ti for Jingming to join, and I did the sa with him. You can think about whether it was so.”
“At the very least, I haven’t decided yet who among you will take over the company,” Lin Zhenghao stated, “I can say definitively that I am not satisfied with any of you three; you all have various shortcomings. At the mont, none of you qualify nor have the capability to inherit Lin’s. I don’t feel reassured handing it over to any of you.”
“Jingcong and Jingming have already made several mistakes in the company, causing significant losses. Although Jingshen hasn’t been involved much in the company operations, given what happened today, I can’t confidently leave the company to Jingshen either.”
“So you three don’t need to overthink it now. If you really are so incompetent, I would rather hire a professional manager rather than give the company to you,” Lin Zhenghao stated.
He didn’t really want to do this.
He wouldn’t go to this extre if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.
But now he said this just to warn his three sons to have so sense of crisis.
Sure enough, hearing his words, all three tensed up.
And Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming felt a bit more relaxed.
At least it was confird that Lin Zhenghao did not plan to hand the company over to Lin Jingshen, giving the two of them still a chance.
Only Lin Jingshen found it difficult to accept this.
