In the afternoon, around five o'clock, nurous cars were parked outside Jiangning First Senior High School, waiting to pick up students after school. Due to the mid-term exams being held across the school today, dismissal ti was earlier than usual.
(TL: In China 7-9th grade is middle school, 10-12 is high school and both usually attend the sa school.)
A black Audi A6 slowly ca to a stop among the cluster of cars. Lin Guoqiang, gazing at the school's gate, let out a deep sigh.
Hearing the leader's sigh, the driver beside him, sowhat puzzled, asked, Guoqiang, why the sigh?
Lin Guoqiang glanced at his old comrade and shook his head, Speaking of which, Xiaowan is in her senior year now. I can count on my fingers the number of tis I've picked her up from school. Many tis, I passed by the school without stopping at the gate.
Tian Wei, who had been with Lin Guoqiang since their days in the Imperial Capital, had a long-standing relationship with him. He always drove for Lin Guoqiang and knew him inside out, so Lin Guoqiang often shared trivial matters with Tian Wei, trusting him imnsely.
Hearing this, Tian Wei comnted, Guoqiang, your work is special, and you're too busy.
Yes, that's true, but I'm well aware that I could make ti if I really wanted to. Most of the ti, I just dont want to spare the mont, preferring to deal with more matters, Lin Guoqiang said with a hint of discomfort.
Xiaowan, I've watched her grow up. She's beautiful, intelligent, gentle, and dignified, and she has your traits. She will surely understand you.
It's precisely because she's so understanding that I feel worse. She's now getting close to the child of Su Zhenguo. You don't know how worried I am, but I've never had the ti to co and check on her at school, Lin Guoqiang said guiltily.
Today you ca, didn't you? I've heard of this Su Zhenguo, a very impressive entrepreneur, well-known even in the province.
Lin Guoqiang nodded, The province has been strongly supporting our local entrepreneurs. In recent years, many have erged, and this Su Zhenguo is one of them.
He's very capable. This year, he's been buying land aggressively in Linhai and Donghai. It won't be long before he expands beyond Jiangnan Province.
That impressive? It can't be easy to expand beyond the province, though.
Lin Guoqiang nodded again, That's not for us to worry about.
Speaking of which, Xiaowan admires Su Zhenguos child a lot. Theyve been quite close recently. Today, I want to see for myself how impressive this kid is. Xiaowan sings him praises all the ti, Lin Guoqiang said with a hint of jealousy.
Hehe, Guoqiang, this doesnt sound like you, Tian Wei said, almost as if he was watching a drama unfold.
Hmph! How is it not like ? Different tis call for different asures. Now that Xiaowan is eighteen, I cant just cut it off bluntly.
Otherwise, with her temperant, she will surely go to extres. Then it will be Xiaowan who suffers, Lin Guoqiang said, slightly annoyed.
He knew Lin Xiaowan best. The eighteen-year-old girl, seemingly sensible and obedient, had inherited his genes deep down. Once she set her heart on soone, nothing could pull her back.
If he took a hard stance against their relationship, it would only backfire, pushing Lin Xiaowan completely towards Su Lin.
He needed to handle it gently, focusing on Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin. Unfortunately, he was too busy to do so, leaving Lin Guoqiang with a myriad of emotions.
Dinglingling~!!!
Guoqiang, that must be the school bell, right? Its not even six oclock yet.
Lin Guoqiang smiled, Todays the mid-term exam at First Senior High School, so theyre dismissing early. Perfect, Ill take Xiaowan to KFC later.
Hehe Just hope she appreciates it, Tian Wei said with a chuckle.
I know my daughter. She might not care much about , but she wont refuse food, Lin Guoqiang replied.
As they were talking, students began pouring out of the school. Lin Guoqiang and Tian Wei stopped their conversation, their eyes intently fixed on the gate, waiting for Lin Xiaowan to appear.
anwhile, Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan, and Xia Shiyu were walking together on their way ho from school.
Su Lin, did you drive here today? Lin Xiaowan asked proactively.
Su Lin nodded, Yeah, today was the exam, so we finished early. I was planning to go to the supermarket afterward.
Then Ill go with you. I dont have anything else to do when I get ho.
I dont have anything at the hospital either, so Ill join too, Xia Shiyu added.
Since hiring a nurse, Xia Shiyu had more ti to rest at ho. The nurse was more ticulous than her, so she often had nothing to do at the hospital.
Su Lin nodded, Great! The supermarket is opening soon. Its good for you to get more familiar with the work and check if there are any details weve missed.
Yeah! Chen Yangs construction team is indeed amazing. I heard from Chen Yang that our Quan Le Gou sign was finished and installed yesterday. Were just waiting for the final touches.
Su Lin smiled, Thats because I paid well. Normally, workers are paid eighty-one yuan a day, but I paid them a hundred and ten yuan and had them work day and night. If they still didnt put in the effort, Id have to replace them.
Hehe, thats your money power, right?
Su Lin nodded, Thats why people who say money cant buy ti are lying. Normally, such a big renovation project would take at least two months, but I finished it in less than a month. Isnt that buying ti?
You and your twisted logic.
The trio walked to the school gate. At this mont, Tian Wei spotted Lin Xiaowan walking beside Su Lin and loudly said, Guoqiang, I see Xiaowan.
Xiaowans out? Where, where? Lin Guoqiang instantly perked up.
Tian Wei pointed at Lin Xiaowan beside Su Lin, There, but she didnt look our way, she just crossed the street.
Thats strange, why didnt Xiaowan ride her bike today? Why did she walk out?
Hearing Tian Weis words, Lin Guoqiang said, Maybe she wanted to walk with friends.
Lin Guoqiang knew that Lin Xiaowan hadnt had real friends during her three years of high school until recently, when she ntioned making two friends at school.
They often talked about them lately.
Ah Wei, drive over there.
Okay~!~! Tian Wei nodded and started the car, preparing to turn around and intercept Lin Xiaowan. Unfortunately, there were too many cars at the school gate at that mont, making it impossible to catch up imdiately.
By the ti Tian Wei managed to turn the car around and try to intercept Lin Xiaowan, he saw her getting into a rcedes with Su Lin.
This Guoqiang, they
At that mont, Lin Guoqiang was about to explode with anger, watching his daughter happily getting into a rcedes with Su Lin.
The feeling was indescribably bitter, especially seeing Lin Xiaowans smile, which he hadnt seen in years. He was both furious and self-reproachful.
Theyve driven off~!!!
Follow them, Lin Guoqiang gritted out three words.
They had seen the entire process of Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan getting into the car, especially Su Lin taking the drivers seat.
This Su Zhenguo really has guts, letting his son drive to and from school. This must be a first in our Jiangzhong, Tian Wei comnted sowhat sentintally.
Hmph, that kid must be driving without a license. Later, Ill have the traffic police impound his car, Lin Guoqiang said viciously.
Tian Wei glanced at the angry Lin Guoqiang beside him, swallowed hard, and chose not to continue the conversation.
As Lin Guoqiangs driver, he knew this boss all too well. A typical stoic leader, now with his nose out of joint, obviously furious. It was clear how angry he was.
But thinking about it, it seed normal. His daughter got into another mans car, and that man was with two other girls, with his daughter being just one of them. If it were him, hed also want to hit soone.
