Chapter 181 - Do you want a Daughter? (3)

The atmosphere before was pretty tense. Unexpectedly, Father Chen would still crack a joke at this moment. For a second, he broke the tense atmosphere and they started to relax.

Luo Xiao naturally smiled and agreed.

“By the way, you can come to the Chen’s to help Jinlin in the future.”

“As for Zhiyuan Technology, you’ll be given a portion of its shares when the time comes.”

Luo Xiao was startled.

Immediately, he declined, “I can help Jinlin……”

“When she encounters any difficulties, I’ll be here to give her some advice, be her military adviser, be her support system, but to enter the Chen’s, sorry for being honest, I would have to decline the offer.”

“You too know that I have Zhiyuan Technology.”

Father Chen raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

“When I was with Jinlin, to be honest, many people around me said that I was a gold digger and that I approached Jinlin, a ‘peacock woman’, just for her money.”

His Adam’s apple rolled, as he choked on his words, “saying that I’m a ‘phoenix man’.”

In fact, he was just someone who became rich overnight after his family’s home was dismantled to give way to new housing estates. The developers had to compensate them with a huge sum of money, but no one cared about this.

He smiled, “At that time, I had a really strong self-esteem, I almost broke up with Jinlin because of this. Later, Jinlin hung on to the relationship, she didn’t give up on me, that’s how we got till today. One of the reasons I founded Zhiyuan was because of her, I can’t let her trust in me be for nothing, uncle, you agree too, right?”

“And I wasn’t the only one who was being gossiped on, Jin Lin too, they said that she was foolish, and that she didn’t just go for some rich kid who came from a wealthy family, but went for some foreigner, and said that she was taken advantage of and used……” Luo Xiao never said this to anyone before, including Chen Jinlin. He planned to hide this away in his heart for the rest of his life, but when Father Chen mentioned that he should join the Chen’s, he licked his lips and continued: “I like Jinlin, I like her very much, but there will always be people in this world who look at others with dirty gazes, and they’ll really think that what they see is the truth.”

“Zhiyuan at its standing today, my position as the vice president of Zhiyuan, will slap those people right back in the face. Furthermore, I poured all my effort into Zhiyuan, just like how the Chen’s is to you, we can’t just pass it on to someone else that easily.”

………

“Then are you the kind of person that they say that you are?”

“No.”

“Then I don’t see any problem in this. As human beings, we shouldn’t care too much about other people’s opinions, that’s way too tiring.”

Luo Xiao curled his lips and smiled, “Uncle, Jin Lin said this to me too.”

When he broke up with her because of his low self-esteem.

Father Chen sighed.

He immediately patted Luo Xiao on the shoulder.

“Then have you ever thought that since Yan Cheng and you are both in Zhiyuan, you two will eventually become relatives in the future……”

“It’s very easy to fall out when relatives are both in the same company.”

The office politics between relatives in the same workplace will be even more intense.

“For example, when your family wants to enter Zhiyuan, and Yancheng’s family would want to do the same. Such a simple matter, but it is very likely that the number of people coming in from both of your sides are not the same and you’ll fight over such a trivial matter. It’s very common.”

“No.” Luo Xiao answered Father Chen firmly.

Father Chen raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

Luo Xiao: “That’s not the Zhiyuan we envision.”

Zhiyuan is not a place for family gatherings either.

“Moreover, without Yancheng, Zhiyuan wouldn’t be where it stands today.”

“Zhi Yuan is also Yan Cheng’s blood, sweat and tears.”

“Our goals are aligned, that is to bring Zhiyuan to a higher level and achieve greater things.”

Two years later.

Zhiyuan Technology successfully got listed.

The value of the enterprise itself shot up along with its reputation and credibility.

After getting listed, it raised up to 2 billion yuan.
