Chapter 325 Going to the Lin Family
“Boss Xu usually cooks for himself?”

Just as Xu Yuexin was frying steak, Lin Ruosi asked him in the living room.

“Sometimes I make it myself.”

As Xu Yuexin spoke, he waved the spatula and turned the steak over. “Cooking is also a kind of fun, isn’t it?”

Lin Ruosi was stunned by his question.

It seemed that no one in her family or her friends knew how to cook.

Xu Yuexin’s current practices and concepts are beyond her existing understanding.

“probably.”

After coming back to his senses, Lin Ruosi smiled and responded.

At this time, Xu Yuexin had already brought the cooked steak to the table, and went to the wine cellar in the basement to get a bottle of red wine.

“From Romanee-Conti.”

Seeing the red wine on the table, Lin Ruosi smiled and said, “Boss Xu has great taste in wine.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Xu Yuexin uncorked the bottle, poured the wine into the decanter and said, “Isn’t the purpose of making money to enjoy it?”

“Yes, maybe I put too much time into my career and forgot to enjoy life.”

Lin Ruosi nodded after listening and said, “Boss Xu’s attitude towards life is the right one.”

“It’s good to focus on your career.”

Xu Yuexin said with a smile.

In fact, what he wanted to say was…

Yemei, have you seen how well you are doing in your career?

When he sobered up, he chatted with Lin Ruosi and finalized the endorsement.

Everything was done according to Xu Yuexin’s requirements, with a 20% initial commission and another 10% fee to be paid every year when the contract is renewed.

After this negotiation, Lin Ruosi was completely defeated.

The gap between her and Xu Yuexin in experience in the world is too big.

After talking about the endorsement, I was almost sober.

Xu Yuexin poured a glass for himself and Lin Ruosi respectively and tasted the flavor of Romanee-Conti.

“taste good.”

“The wine has a rich aroma that makes people fall in love with it every time they drink it.”

Lin Ruosi nodded and praised, “Does Boss Xu usually drink this at home?”

“That’s not it.”

Xu Yuexin asked back and started chatting with Lin Ruosi casually.

During the conversation, Xu Yuexin asked Lin Ruosi about the history of Tiansi Film and Television.

Lin Ruosi was obviously very proud of this, and she started talking about it nonstop when Xu Yuexin asked her.

……

“It was not easy for my grandfather to start his own business. He almost fell into a desperate situation due to financial difficulties.”

“Later, an official and businessman came to his rescue and saved him from the dire situation.”

“The old man was very grateful to him and sent people to look for his descendants many times, but unfortunately there was no result.”

Lin Ruosi said with emotion, “Until two years ago, my old man still often mentioned his name.”

Xu Yuexin listened quietly and nodded to indicate that he had heard it.

Lin Ruosi’s words may seem simple, but they actually contain a huge amount of information.

First of all, the Lin family must have had the idea of ​​repaying their gratitude at some point in the past, otherwise they would not have sent people to look for him.

But as to whether they still hold this idea now, it is hard to say.

Also, why did the old man often mention the name of the Shen family’s ancestor in the past two years, but doesn’t mention it now?
It is likely that he has Alzheimer’s disease and has lost his ability to think.

If this is true, then it would be a big problem.

The older generation can still remember the kindness and have the idea of ​​repaying it.

It’s hard to say about the younger generation.

In view of this, Xu Yuexin thought he had to test it further.

“When was the last time your family went to look for the descendants of this deceased person?”

Xu Yuexin pretended to be an interested passerby and asked.

“Two years ago. After my old man stopped talking about it, we stopped looking for him.”

Lin Ruosi said.

Her words confirmed Xu Yuexin’s judgment.

That is the younger generation in their family, and they cannot say they are grateful to the Shen family.

As for Old Master Lin…

There is a high probability that he has Alzheimer’s disease.

It’s really troublesome when you think about it!

Xu Yuexin couldn’t help but shake his head in his heart.

According to the current situation, he is facing a level of hell.

Want the younger generations of the Lin family to give him and Shen Qingru some compensation?
It’s almost as difficult as climbing to heaven!

“Boss Xu, are you thinking about something?”

At this time, Lin Ruosi saw that Xu Yuexin didn’t speak, so he asked.

“Ah, yes.”

Xu Yuexin quickly ended his silence, nodded and said, “I was wondering, if the descendants of the Shen family came over at this time, what would the old man’s reaction be.”

“Well, this should make you happy, right?”

Lin Ruosi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a polite smile.

His mouth is quite tight.

The old man is suffering from dementia, how can he be happy?

Xu Yuexin commented in his heart about Lin Ruosi’s reaction.

It seems that the old man’s health condition is a secret of the Lin family, otherwise Lin Ruosi would never keep it secret.

Just as Xu Yuexin was thinking, Lin Ruosi opened his bag and took out a contract.

“Boss Xu, how about we sign the contract now?”

“Well, sign now.”

Xu Yuexin nodded, picked up the contract, read it carefully, took out a pen from his pocket and wrote his name on it.

Of course, it was not the one that the old grandfather of the Lin family had given him. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would break the pen, which would mean that all his money would be gone.

After signing the contract, the two began to eat the steak that was already a little cold.

“Or, I’ll make two more.”

Xu Yuexin said to Lin Ruosi, “It won’t taste good if it’s cold.”

“No, just heat it up.”

After saying this, Lin Ruosi picked up the plates in front of herself and Xu Yuexin and walked to the microwave.

Although she can’t cook, she can still use a microwave.

After a “beep” sound, the microwave entered the heating state. Lin Ruosi returned to Xu Yuexin and continued chatting with him.

This time, she began to accurately avoid all topics related to her old grandfather and did not give Xu Yuexin any room to ask questions.

After asking twice without receiving a response, Xu Yuexin tactfully stopped asking.

After a while, the steak was heated.

The two were really hungry and quickly finished all the steaks on the table. Then Xu Yuexin and Jiang Lin Ruosi sent them to the garage.

“I will come to Huanqiu Juxing when the contract is implemented later.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Xu, are you free during this period?”

Before getting in the car, Lin Ruosi asked Xu Yuexin.

“free.”

Xu Yuexin said, “In case I’m not around, you can also talk to General Qingxia.”

“Okay, see you later.”

Lin Ruosi smiled sweetly, opened the car door and got in.

After she drove out of the garage, Xu Yuexin returned upstairs and sat in the empty living room, lost in thought. He remembered someone saying that even patients with Alzheimer’s disease might still have reactions when they see important people and things in their lives.

If he took the ancestral pen of Shen Qingru’s family and showed it to Old Master Lin, perhaps it would evoke his memories?
Xu Yuexin thought.

Of course, this approach seems feasible, but it can only be regarded as an idea and not a plan.

Because there are still many uncertainties and many difficulties in the process.

The simplest thing is, how can he find an opportunity to meet with the old man of the Lin family?

The Lin family is very secretive about the old man’s health condition, and outsiders certainly have no chance to see him.

And if you can’t even see it, how can you evoke memories?
This is the first issue Xu Yuexin needs to consider.

Another thing is, what if Old Master Lin reacts, but the Lin family members refuse to acknowledge it?
After all, the old man has fallen into dementia and exists more as a family mascot. Usually, the power is in the hands of the younger generation.

They can use the excuse that the old man is unclear about the matter and simply deny responsibility for it.

And there wasn’t much he could do about it.

“Ugh!”

Thinking of this, Xu Yuexin sighed lightly, took out a recorder from his pocket, turned it on and started playing.

That’s right, he recorded the conversation between him and Lin Ruosi just now.

“It was not easy for the old man to start his business. At one point, he almost…”

The entire living room was filled with the clear sound of the recording. Xu Yuexin listened quietly and continued to lean back in his chair thinking.

This recording is one of the few cards he has.

With it, if the Lin family dared to deny it, he could at least slap them in the face.

But it’s useless to slap someone in the face in private, it’s better to have some prominent people present.

Otherwise, to put it bluntly, the Lin family might kill him directly after finding out the whole story.

Xu Yuexin did not hesitate to assume the greatest malice towards them, because only in this way could he ensure his own safety to the greatest extent.

That night, Xu Yuexin kept thinking until late at night before going to bed.

Before falling asleep, he wrote down all his thoughts in a notebook, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

The next day, Xu Yuexin woke up very early.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he picked up his notebook and reviewed the plan he had come up with last night.

His plan was to make friends with several wealthy and influential businessmen in Hong Kong, and then find an excuse to visit the Lin family with them.

After arriving at the Lin family, he wanted to find Mr. Lin and show him the pen.

If the old man responded and expressed his willingness to compensate, he would bring the old man to the younger generations of the Lin family and the wealthy businessmen and show him to them.

This move is very risky.

But isn’t wealth and honor something that can be gained through risk?
Xu Yuexin encouraged himself.

As for what to do if Mr. Lin didn’t react after seeing the pen, or reacted but was unwilling to repay the favor, Xu Yuexin didn’t consider it.

These are not things he can control, he can only do what he can to the best of his ability.

That morning, Xu Yuexin went to Global Star and personally contacted the executives who had come to the company.

As an agency, Huanqiu Juxing is usually approached by many brands, most of which are looking for celebrity endorsements.

Once the news that Xu Yuexin personally received visitors spread, the people coming to Huanqiu Juxing quickly changed from senior executives to bosses of various companies.

One side is the boss and the other side is also the boss, so it can be equal.

Xu Yuexin also found a few people who got along well with him and gradually became familiar with them.

Among them, there was a boss named Zhu Yu who got along best with Xu Yuexin. Xu Yuexin invited him to his villa for drinks several times.

One day, after three rounds of drinks, Xu Yuexin put down his wine glass and looked at Zhu Yu with a slight smile.

“Boss Zhu, I would like to visit the Lin family in the next few days and talk to them about developing cooperation in the future.”

“Excuse me, Boss Zhu, would you be so kind as to go with me?”

“Lin family? Which Lin family are you referring to?”

“It’s the Lin family of Tiansi Film and Television.”

“Oh, may I ask when Boss Xu plans to go there?”

“In three days.”

“Oh, then I’m free. I usually cooperate with them.”

“It’s a good opportunity for me to go there with Boss Xu and build some relationships with them.”

Zhu Yu said with a smile, not having any idea of ​​what kind of plan Xu Yuexin had hidden behind it.

Next, Xu Yuexin contacted several other bosses.

After these people nodded and expressed their willingness to go to the Lin family with Xu Yuexin, Xu Yuexin called Lin Ruosi
phone.

“Hello, Mr. Lin? I would like to visit your house and discuss our future cooperation with you.”

Xu Yuexin said warmly and politely, “The time is the day after tomorrow. Is it convenient for you, Mr. Lin?”

“Ah? Mr. Xu is going to come to my humble abode in person? That would be a real honor for us.”

Lin Ruosi agreed immediately on the phone, “Excuse me, what time will Mr. Xu come over?”

“At nine in the morning, Mr. Zhu Yu and Mr. Lu Xianwen also came here…”

“Oh, that’s the best.”

“We are all friends, so it’s a good opportunity for us to get together and have fun.”

Lin Ruosi was overjoyed.

She has always wanted to prove her ability in front of her family.

Now that Xu Yuexin proposed to bring so many bosses to visit, this is simply the greatest recognition of her interpersonal skills.

After seeing this, the elders in the family will definitely respect her more in the future.

Lin Ruosi thought happily.

……

Two days later, Xu Yuexin, Zhu Yu and others arrived at the Lin family’s house half an hour early, and one car after another stopped at the gate of the Lin family’s manor.

At the gate, Lin Ruosi and her father Lin Chenzhi were already waiting.

After Xu Yuexin got off the car, the two sides immediately greeted each other in a friendly manner, shook hands, and entered the manor together.

The Lin family’s manor is similar in style to Xu Yuexin’s mid-mountain mansion, except that it is a little larger and has a wider variety of flowers and plants.

While exchanging greetings, the group walked to the front door of the villa, went in, sat down, drank tea and chatted.

The two sides talked a lot about business and the atmosphere of the conversation was very warm.

Just when everyone was chatting excitedly, Xu Yuexin got up and left the living room on the pretext of something.

He is going to find the old man of the Lin family.

According to what Xu Yuexin saw, the Lin family’s villa has a total of 5 floors. Considering the elderly man’s mobility difficulties, the old man is most likely on the first floor.

The first floor is mainly used for reception and has only two bedrooms in total.

“Squeak.”

After Xu Yuexin gently pushed open the door of the first bedroom, he found no one inside, so he decisively ran to the second one.

As a result, after pushing open the door of the second bedroom, Xu Yuexin was confused.

Because there was still no one in the second bedroom.

What went wrong?

Xu Yuexin thought.

At this moment, the conversation between Lin Chenzhi and others also reached Xu Yuexin’s ears.

That’s it!

Xu Yuexin was startled and immediately realized something.

The first floor is a meeting place, and it is inevitable that there will be noises when guests talk.

This is not conducive to the elderly’s rest.

So the old man of the Lin family must live on the first floor, but definitely not in this villa.

Of course, the distance between the two sides will not be very far.

The old man’s life is already on the verge of collapse, and the Lin family must ensure that if he is dying, family members can arrive in time.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuexin was able to roughly determine what the situation was.

He tiptoed to the back door on the first floor of the villa, pushed it open and looked around the manor.
