Chapter 179: The old man’s decision

Chapter 179 The old man’s decision

As the saying goes, a family's scandal should not be made public. Lin Zhibai was bullied by his cousin and has become a gossip in the circle. Now the conflict has arisen again. The old man does not want this matter to be spread out and damage the face of the Lin family, so most of the people present simply Everyone's surname is Lin, and the bodyguards and doctors are all working for Xicheng Manor, so the news is temporarily blocked, at least in the short term, everything will be calm.

 As for the future?

 Paper cannot cover fire.

Lin Zhaomu did not investigate what Lin Gong and others said to completely offend Lin Zhibai. The matter seemed to have just been revealed, just like how he handled it back then.

 When the birthday party is about to begin.

No one noticed that Lin Hu and Lin Jing, the third generation of the Lin family, were not at the banquet. Both of them had slight concussions and were no longer suitable to attend.

 Yin Tianhou, the chairman of Nathan, who is also one of the leaders of Lao San Da, also came today and saw Lin Zhaomu before the birthday banquet. Yin Tianhou, who is seventy-seven years old, even delivered a speech with great enthusiasm to thank the guests for coming.

 “This old guy is in better shape than me.”

Yin Tianhou doesn’t even know if he can live to his eightieth birthday.

However, Su Dingbo, the chairman of Tianguang, is in worse condition. He is now semi-retired and lies in the hospital every day. It is logical that he should come here today, but unfortunately his body can no longer support it and he is said to be admitted to the ICU.

 The three major powers have been fighting for so many years.

Although Shinhwa has always been far ahead, it has never been able to win over Nathan and Tianguang. The situation is extremely stalemate. Perhaps with the demise of the older generations, there will be new changes in the three major patterns.

 In fact.

Now it's not just Lin Zhaomu who is choosing a successor from his descendants, Nathan and the leaders of Tianguang are also having the same troubles.

 “What’s wrong with your hand?”

Yin Dongnuan also came today and was sitting next to Lin Zhibai. She suddenly saw a few scratches on Lin Zhibai's hand, which looked like fresh wounds without scabs yet, so she couldn't help but express concern.

 “Striated with broken glass.”

Lin Zhibai told the truth, but did not tell the causes and consequences.

Yin Dongnuan snorted and complained that he was careless. Thinking of treating the wound, Lin Zhibai shook his head and said, "It has already been taken care of."

 “Then put a band-aid on it too.”

“It’s okay, this kind of wound will scab over when we get to the hospital.”

Lin Zhibai was playing bad jokes, but the faces of his brother and sister next to him were not very good.

The two of them were very dissatisfied with Lin Zhibai's behavior today. It was not that they blamed Lin Zhibai for beating people. There are natural reasons for beating people. They just blamed Lin Zhibai for putting themselves in danger. In case of Lin Gong and his gang, What to do if you get swarmed? If you want to fight, you have to bring your brothers and sisters with you, right?

 Sister may not be good at fighting.

 Brother’s fighting ability is not low.

Lin Shengtian is a typical fitness fanatic. He looks like a muscular tyrant after taking off his clothes.

After Lin Zhaomu finished speaking, the banquet began. Lin Zhibai peeled off a shrimp and was putting it in his mouth when he suddenly felt a resentful look.

Su Chan.

Su Chan's table was not far from Lin Zhibai's. She was forced to participate in the conflict between the third generation of the Lin family, and she had a bad relationship with Lin Gong. Her current situation was actually not good.

Lin Zhibai winked at her.

Su Chan's expression was a little confused.

Lin Zhibai's mood was waning. What was he pretending to be? He really thought that this woman could see through his eyes.

 The banquet is followed by activities.

 It’s nothing more than some performances.

Lin Zhibai found an opportunity to escape. Su Chan followed him to the back garden. Only when no one was around did she say, "Can I get on your boat now?"

Lin Zhibai was shocked, "What bed are you going to sleep on?"

 “Get on the boat!” Su Chan’s chest trembled with anger. She had quite a lot of capital in this area: “Read it to me, chuan.”

"All right."

Lin Zhibai didn’t mean to be eloquent, it was just that he didn’t hear clearly just now.

However, Su Chan has indeed been under a lot of pressure on herself, and it’s time to give her some sweet treats.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhibai said: "I will talk to Representative Jiang."

Su Chan stared at him, "Behind Jiangcheng, he should be Kunpeng's boss, right?"

"I don't know." Lin Zhibai shrugged and said, "I have never met Kunpeng's boss. Jiang Cheng has always been the one who contacts me."

 “Really?” Su Chan was doubtful.

“Anyway, don’t worry, I’ll let Representative Jiang have a good chat with you.”

Lin Zhibai's identity is Thousand Layer Cake. His apparent student identity is the first level, Bai Di is the second level, Chu Ci is the third level, Evernight Marquis is the fourth level, Junlin is the fifth level, and Kunpeng's boss This identity is considered the sixth level.

 Most people have only seen the first layer.

 A small number of insiders have seen the second layer.

Su Chan is amazing. She has already uncovered the third layer without even guessing.

In Su Chan’s mind, Lin Zhibai was the lucky one chosen by Kunpeng, and the boss behind Kunpeng wanted to support Lin Zhibai to rise to the top of Shinhwa.

 In this way, Kunpeng can also benefit from it.

  It is indeed a very complete logical line.

What Su Chan wants is just that Kunpeng will use her as a second support object to help her rise to the top of Tianguang.

If Su Chan controls Tianguang, she can indeed bring sufficient returns to Kunpeng. This is where her personal value lies.

“Because of you, you, the third generation of Shinhwa, and I are at odds with each other.”

Su Chan behaved pitifully. Lin Gong and his gang were an interest group on the same boat. She had disgraced Lin Gong today, and the possibility of their marriage had been completely eliminated.

 “You are doing it for Kunpeng.”

Lin Zhibai exposed the truth mercilessly.

Su Chan almost gritted her back molars after hearing this, "In your eyes, I am just a woman full of calculations, right?"

"Not at all."

Lin Zhibai's eyes softened slightly. No matter what, she did gain her favor today.

 …

the other side.

Lin Gong took a few mouthfuls of food and left the banquet directly. Seeing this, other people from the third generation of Shinhwa also quickly followed.

“Brother Gong.” “Don’t worry!”

 “Lin Zhibai will not end well, we all support you.”

 “There are also Lin Shengtian and Lin Xi.”

 “We won’t make it easy for his family!”

 “Lin Zhibai is really too much!”

 This group of people expressed their loyalty to Lin Gong in various ways.

Lin Gong felt a little more comfortable.

 Not everyone has as low a double quotient as Lin Bao.

Um?

 What about the Linbao people?

Lin Gong looked around and didn't see the other party, until Lin Bao's voice came from behind, as if asking for credit, he said:

"Brother Gong, I just saw Su Chan following Lin Zhibai to the back garden. They must be dating. That beast Lin Zhibai really turned you on. That's true. It's delicious. But dumplings are not as fun as sister-in-law..."

bump.

Lin Gong swung out his fist and hit Lin Bao **** the face.

 Lin Bao was caught off guard and took two steps back after being punched. Then he looked at Lin Gong in disbelief.

"You hit me?"

 “Lin Gong, you passed!”

Lin Bao’s sister Lin Feng became anxious when she saw her brother being beaten.

  "You're **** taking it out on me because Lin Zhibai fell in love with you!?"

Lin Bao's temper also increased. He was not as afraid of Lin Gong as the other branches. He was also the grandson of the old man, so who was really afraid of whom?

 “You still said that!”

Lin Gong's eyes were red and he wanted to take action again, but Lin Mu next to him stopped him. "Brother Gong, calm down. We can't fight among ourselves."

Lin Gong took a deep breath.

Lin Bao cursed and left.

 …

The third generation of the Lin family was in ruins. Lin Zhaomu's eightieth birthday ended peacefully on the surface. The guests left one after another, but the direct descendants of the Lin family remained, and there was a family dinner later.

 Six o'clock in the evening.

 In the lobby on the third floor.

 The huge long table in the Lin family was full of people.

Lin Chun, Lin Xia, Lin Qiu, and Lin Dong were sitting close to the old man.

 The third generation, headed by Lin Gong, was also sitting at the dining table.

in…

Lin Hu’s head is bandaged;

Lin Jing’s face was also bandaged tightly;

Even Lin Bao has two cartoon band-aids on his face.

 The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing. It felt more like a gathering of enemies than a family gathering.

 The servants began to serve the dishes.

  After all the dishes were served, they all left.

Erbo Linxia suddenly stood up and pointed at Lin Zhibai, "Young man, you are so cruel, you beat my two sons like this!"

"dad!"

Lin Bao shouted: "I was beaten by Lin Gong."

The second uncle was stunned and opened his mouth. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Lin Dong said coldly: "Compared to the injuries my son suffered back then, do you think you are qualified to blame him?"

Lin Hu roared: "Fourth uncle, I told you that I was involved in that matter back then, and the third generation of the Lin family was involved, but in the end it was not me who recommended Lin Zhibai!"

 “Who pushed that?”

Lin Dong also stood up and pointed at Lin Gong: "You, still you, or you?"

 His finger points to everyone in the third generation.

No one admitted it, but someone did take advantage of the chaos and pushed Lin Zhibai hard, causing his head injury.

 “Second child, fourth child!”

San Bolinqiu said: "Sit down, tonight is our father's eightieth birthday."

The second uncle said coldly: "It's not your son who was beaten!"

Uncle Linchun said: "My son was also beaten. What did I say? In the final analysis, it's just children fighting. You are an adult, so you also want to find someone to fight?"

Lin Chun is, after all, the second-generation big brother, and he is quite authoritative.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the second uncle finally sat back, and then Lin Dong also sat back silently.

 In any case, Lin Zhibai did not suffer a loss, otherwise Lin Dong would have overturned the table tonight.

 “Is it done?”

Lin Zhaomu said: "That's it, let's stop this matter. Let's eat while it's hot. When I die, you won't be sitting at the same table to eat like today."

"dad…"

The faces of the sons changed slightly, and even Lin Dong couldn't help but say something. This was not something Lin Zhaomu would say at all.

But immediately afterwards.

The words Lin Zhaomu said made everyone tremble:

"Your performance will determine how much property you can inherit from Shinhwa Group in the future. So, you want to fight? Just fight, I will be a fair referee. In addition, starting from next year, the group's personnel will change significantly, and some industries will Split it up and you each have your own test paper.”

 The next few years.

The old man is going to officially distribute the property of Shinhwa Group.
