Chapter 280 The Despicable Rich People
After the matter was settled, Xia Minghai's expression clearly relaxed.
They chatted about Xia Lanshu as if it were a casual conversation.
"During this time, Xiao Shu has stayed by your side and doesn't want to go back. It's obvious that he likes you very much."
"His family situation is also quite complicated. This child has grown up in a daze, and although the Xia family provided him with money and resources, he lacked emotional support. As his uncle, I can't really say anything, after all, it's their family matter."
Lin You smiled faintly, "It's fine, it hasn't gone astray."
Xia Minghai nodded. "He has no interest in the internal struggles of the Xia family. He just enjoys himself and lives a carefree life."
"It's quite rare, though, that he can be so close to this relative he's never met before."
Lin You smiled and said, "Isn't the reason he can live so freely precisely because he has no interest in the internal struggles of the Xia family? Once he becomes competitive, the Xia family probably won't let him get away with it like this."
When a person feels threatened, he or she will inevitably be unable to live comfortably.
Xia Lanshu is actually a smart person.
The Xia family's assets are enough for him to squander the rest of his life.
They might not even be able to spend it all.
If he didn't have a desire and ambition for power, there was indeed no need for him to get involved in this mess.
Just like herself.
She is not short of money and has her own businesses.
Perhaps we can surpass the Xia family in the future, so why go back and cause unnecessary trouble?
Xia Minghai smiled as well.
"His mother asked me to pass on a message to you when I came here this time."
Lin You looked up.
"Xiao Shu, I'm entrusting her to your care." Xia Minghai said, looking at her.
Lin You was a little surprised.
"When she saw Xiaoshu working as a security guard... a mother would always overthink things in this situation. Maybe she wanted to make amends, but it was too late. She doesn't want to change her lifestyle, and Xiaoshu is now closer to you. So she hopes you can take better care of her."
"As people grow up, some things can't be fixed by making amends. So she felt it was better to just let things be. At least, he's happy now."
Lin You raised an eyebrow.
After thinking about Xia Lanshu's current situation.
His mother's ideas were indeed progressive.
Many people want to make up for the mistakes they made in the past.
However, some mistakes cannot be corrected simply by making amends.
Xia Lanshu has grown into the person she is now, without any crookedness or limp, which shows that there was nothing wrong with her family education.
However, due to the relationship between his parents and their laissez-faire approach to his upbringing, he has hardly experienced any family affection or a normal family life.
His personality is already set, and he doesn't seem to have any resentment towards his parents.
He was just too lonely.
Continuing like this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Forcing a solution might only make things more awkward and uncomfortable for all parties involved.
But she still said, "Maybe she can try. It's not about making amends, it's just about being kind to him in a different way."
"People's hearts are made of flesh and blood; they can feel it without explanation."
“I will keep an eye on Xia Lanshu. After all, he will soon become one of my artists.”
Xia Minghai was taken aback.
He quickly realized, "Then he's finally found something worthwhile to do, but... with his wealth, entering the entertainment industry..."
Lin You: "Do you think he's wasting his talents?"
Xia Lanshu is, after all, a top student from a world-class business school.
Xia Minghai hesitated for a moment, "No, I'm worried...won't he mess up the entertainment industry..."
Lin You: "..."
Finally, Xia Minghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will convey your message."
The two chatted happily. Although one was older and the other younger, there was no barrier between them, and they communicated as if they were peers.
When Lin You left, Xia Minghai, as an elder, gave Lin You a black card and a Maserati as a gift.
Lin You accepted it without hesitation.
After she left, the secretary took Xia Minghai's coat and walked to his side.
"Mr. Xia, isn't five percent of the shares too much...? Miss Lin You doesn't want to return to the Xia family either, aren't you worried...?"
After all, five percent of the shares is no small amount for the Xia family.
Xia Minghai calmly said, "It's all about mutual benefit, and besides, it's also a way of keeping her here. If there are problems with the Xia family, do you think she would stand idly by?"
"Based on my conversation with Lin You and my understanding of her background, she is far more outstanding than her peers in the family. She was able to decisively sever ties with her family of origin without hesitation, ensuring they received their due punishment. Yet, she maintains such a close relationship with the Lin family, and even relies solely on them to amass a considerable fortune. She also enjoys strong support from the Li and Lu families..."
"You need to know what these families mean in China. They mean that if they stomp their feet, the whole country will tremble."
"You know the people around her, you can't poach any of them. And each and every one of them is a rare talent."
That kind of courage, that kind of popularity... did any of your peers have that back then? And who else in the family do you think could have done what she did?
What he saw was not just Lin You's strength and ability.
It is also the personal charm she possesses.
"This child..." Xia Minghai said with some regret, "Why isn't she my daughter?"
If it were his daughter, he would be incredibly proud.
For Lin You, this encounter with Xia Minghai was a huge advantage.
Since they're offering it, she can't very well refuse.
As for the rest, we'll talk about them later.
She has a lot to do, and she has to do them one by one.
She only saw the message in the 737 department group when she got home.
The last one was a mention of her by Song Chuan.
"@Lin You, is it too expensive, so you've disappeared? Actually, if everyone chipped in, we could have gone..."
Lin You then flipped through the pages.
After seeing those previous messages, I couldn't help but laugh.
It seems like everyone here really wants to go on a team-building trip...
She thought these guys would refuse.
After all, they weren't exactly on friendly terms.
At most, we were comrades who completed the same mission together.
We're not exactly close yet.
The last time, they provoked us and got taught a lesson.
However, judging from their several exchanges in the group, although they are arrogant, they are still normal people.
They can make sarcastic remarks, joke, and use memes.
In the past, they might have been too proud to admit their differences and were always competing with each other.
So no one has ever said that they could do team building activities together.
They all seemed quite excited.
She didn't know the price of that hotel; Jiang Cheng found it for her.
However, Lin You was not someone who lacked money.
So she typed directly: "I'll pay for everything."
After she replied to this message, everyone immediately erupted in excitement.
Song Chuan: "Really?"
Seventh Brother: "You'd better be serious."
Mountain Eagle: "Are you that rich?"
Xiao Feng: "Are we really going to have a team-building event?"
Duan Shengsheng asked again, "Don't you all know that Sister Lin You is incredibly rich? Have you forgotten the Rolls-Royce that drove to the museum last time?"
Song Chuan: "You damn rich man! I'll fight you to the death!"
Lin You raised an eyebrow.
Is being rich something shameful?
