Mr. Lin's typing speed was slow. Before he could reply, another two messages came in.
"By the way, your WeChat nickname is "Heaven Rewards the Diligent"? Hahaha, you're going to kill me with laughter."
"My dad uses such a lame name." The message was accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Mr. Lin replied with a smiling emoji.
"Do you have time this weekend? Let's go out together. There are some new movies released recently that are worth watching. I'll book two tickets?"
So, he wanted to ask his daughter out?
Mr. Lin understood a bit about how young people interact.
However, when did Le Yu from the Le family develop an interest in his daughter? This person didn't seem very serious, always chatting with a playful attitude.
Mr. Lin replied, "I have to study this weekend. I'm not free."
"Why are you still studying after graduating from college? Learning so much is useless. Don't you like watching movies? How about we go racing, it's exciting!"
Mr. Lin frowned, "Living and learning go hand in hand, how can you say learning is useless? Youngsters shouldn't just play all the time. You should focus on doing something productive at your age."
Le Yu remained silent for a while on the other end of WeChat. He found Lin Gantang's tone surprisingly similar to his father's.
At this pause, Mr. Lin took the chance to type back and asked, "What are your plans for the next two years? Will you work at your father's company?"
"No, there's no point in working for my dad. I plan to start my own business and make a big business!"
Mr. Lin said, "Young man, don't aim too high. Take it step by step. What preparations have you made? Have you done proper market research before starting a business? Show me what you have."
Mr. Lin continued, "I suggest you set a goal and make a five-year plan. Send it to me before you think of inviting me."
On the other side of the phone, Le Yu was perplexed.
Was it this difficult to find a girlfriend now? A five-year plan?
Le Yu silently put down his phone.
After waiting for a long time without a response, Mr. Lin exited WeChat and shook his head.
"This kid is not reliable."
Seeing Wen Yanqing sitting on the sofa, he felt much more favorably toward him.
Though Wen Yanqing had only recently acknowledged his ancestry, he had proven himself with outstanding abilities. He was a natural at this business. Even Wen Rendong had retired now, making many people envious.
After finishing her orange juice, Lin Gantang noticed her father's intense gaze towards Wen Yanqing, as if he was trying to abduct him. It was unsettling.
"Dad, you should restrain yourself. You're making others uncomfortable." Lin Gantang exposed him.
Mr. Lin coughed and, realizing Lin Zhaonan had not yet come down, suggested, "The food isn't ready yet. Take Yanqing to the small garden for a walk. Don't you know how to entertain guests?"
"Do you think it's worth seeing anything in such a tiny garden?" Lin Gantang retorted, not moving an inch.
Mr. Lin warned her with a glare.
Lin Gandang was not afraid at all and remained unmoved. "Why not take him to your study to show him some valuable collections as a token of gratitude for saving your life? Are you planning to dismiss him after just a meal?"
Mr. Lin was so irritated that he wanted to find a feather duster.
Wen Yanqing couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, Lin Zhaonan came down. Upon hearing the conversation, he said, "It's sunny outside. Let's not wander around. I have two movie tickets. I was planning to go with Tongtong this afternoon, but she said she had something to do. Do you want them? Otherwise, I'll refund them."
"What movie?" Lin Gantang asked nonchalantly.
"Perfect Duplication, just released," Lin Zhaonan replied.
Lin Gantang didn't have any particular impression of it.
Wen Yanqing looked at her and smiled, saying, "If it's okay, could I have them?"
"Sure, let Gantang accompany you," Lin Zhaonan suggested.
"Why should I go?" Lin Gantang lacked enthusiasm.
