After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 373 Daily Life in Tourism (Business)
For the next few days, Xu Lin and his group spent their time in the capital.

The process was naturally very enjoyable.

Xu Lin has now become a parent, but he is different from most parents.

Many people find traveling very tiring, not only physically but also mentally. This is because many of them travel for the sake of traveling, and within a limited time, such as having to visit a certain number of attractions in two or three days. At this point, they are traveling as if they are simply trying to meet work targets, so it's no wonder they are both physically and mentally exhausted.

But Xu Lin didn't need that; he had both money and free time.

On the first morning, Xu Lin led everyone to the Forbidden City.

It's summer vacation now, and the Forbidden City is still quite crowded, but thankfully not too crowded, so overall it's very lively.

The group wandered around the Forbidden City without any particular purpose, simply enjoying the sights and taking photos along the way.

They opted for an in-depth tour experience, spending over six hours exploring the Forbidden City.

The main reason was that it was the first time that the two siblings, Sui Sui and An An, had traveled, and they found everything very novel. They asked all sorts of questions along the way, but Xu Lin was not impatient and answered them one by one.

As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

A trip to the Forbidden City is more useful than reading ten books every year.

Although living conditions have improved, not every family can afford to travel. On the one hand, travel does cost money, especially if the whole family goes together. On the other hand, there is the issue of time. During holidays, such as May Day and National Day, everywhere is crowded, and the travel experience is not good at all.

If Xu Lin hadn't wanted to take them out to play, they probably wouldn't have gone out at all before going to university.

In response, Xu Lin believes that people should broaden their horizons. This means, on the one hand, improving one's thinking and cognitive abilities through reading and learning, and on the other hand, going out to see the mountains and rivers and experiencing local customs and cultures.

In the afternoon, after leaving the Forbidden City, the group had another meal.

The children are very energetic. They walked around for more than six hours today, but Sui Sui and the others were still jumping around and were in high spirits.

Before nightfall, Xu Lin drove to the Badaling entrance of the Great Wall.

When visiting the Great Wall, the Badaling section is the most classic section because it has well-developed facilities and convenient transportation.

Xu Lin and his group arrived at the pedestrian entrance around 7:00 AM and then walked up to the eighth floor of the north building.

Eight- or nine-year-old children seem to be very curious about everything.

Climbing the Badaling Great Wall from the northern section to the North Eighth Tower takes about two hours. Many people come to climb at this time of night, since the sun has set and it's not as hot as during the day.

The two siblings, who had walked for more than six hours during the day, were still very active when climbing the Great Wall at night, and could even run around.

Xu Lin reminded him, "Don't go too far!"

"I know, brother-in-law!" An'an should be a sweet girl when she grows up, jumping and skipping with Sui Sui. When Sui Sui grows up, she should also be a lively and handsome young man.

The two siblings are clearly different from their older sister, Ning Yuhan, who is a quiet and gentle girl.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

Seeing that Ning Yuhan looked a little tired, Xu Lin bowed slightly.

Ning Yuhan, familiar with the routine, easily climbed onto Xu Lin's back, allowing him to carry her on his back in no time.

"Honey, thank you for bringing them out to play."

"So what? We still go and have fun, don't we?"

"That's different. Sui Sui and An An haven't gone on a trip yet. Look how happy they are!"

Ning Yuhan kissed Xu Lin's cheek. It was their first time traveling together, and although there were two little third wheels, it was negligible, and Ning Yuhan still felt sweet.

"Yes, I'm quite happy."

Xu Lin looked at the two siblings; their smiles seemed to have never stopped all day.

Xu Lin also bought them a camera, which was smaller than his fist and cost only a little over ten thousand yuan. It was for taking pictures of them, and now the two of them are taking pictures everywhere.

Children see the world differently than adults.

Adults are unlikely to be interested in insects or plants, but An'an and the others are children, so they are interested. Along the way today, they took a lot of strange and wonderful photos. For example, when they were in the Forbidden City, Sui Sui was interested in the door handles and became curious about them.

This is the world of children.

It took the group more than two hours to get from the entrance to the North Eighth Tower, which is the highest point of the Badaling Great Wall.

After that, it was quick to get down, and you could take the cable car; it just took a little time to queue.

Before returning to the hotel, everyone had dinner again.

It was past 11 p.m. when everyone returned to the hotel.

This time, Sui Sui and the others finally felt tired. As soon as they got back, they took a shower and then fell fast asleep in their room.

"They fell asleep as soon as they lay down, and you couldn't wake them up no matter how much you shook them."

The air conditioner was on in the room. Ning Yuhan covered her younger brother and sister with blankets. The two children were sleeping together tonight, and at eight years old, they didn't have to worry about anything.

"Let's take a shower and go to bed."

"Uh-huh."

There were no programs tonight. Even though Xu Lin was full of energy, Ning Yuhan was also very tired after walking all day. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Silent all night.

For the next five days, Xu Lin and his group spent their time in Beijing. They didn't have a strong purpose; they simply wanted to experience tourism in depth. They traveled at their own pace, stopping frequently along the way, and didn't travel with the intention of completing a task. This was different from many other people.

On the first day, the group visited the Temple of Heaven and Fragrant Hills Park.

The next day, we visited the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs.

On the third day, we went to the Universal Beijing Resort.

Unlike the previous three days, which focused on experiencing history, culture, and natural scenery, this Universal Resort is different.

This is a very large Universal Studios theme park, which includes attractions such as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Transformers Base.

Adults like Xu Lin might not be interested in these theme parks, but Sui Sui and An An are different; they were overjoyed.

At the theme park, Xu Lin also bought each of them a Harry Potter costume.

The two siblings, aged eight or nine, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl, were exceptionally well-dressed. Dressed in Harry Potter costumes, they looked like little wizards, even more attractive than the original movie's main characters when they were young.

There are many photographers at the theme park. These photographers like to take pictures of good-looking people. Sui Sui and An An naturally wanted to take pictures as well, but Xu Lin didn't allow it.

Xu Lin will not allow the two of them to appear online.

On the fourth day, Xu Lin and his group went to the Olympic Park again.

And so, the group played for a total of five days.

Xu Lin didn't think anything of it, but Sui Sui and the others were different. They wrote a lot in their notebooks to record their feelings about the trip, and there were also many photos on their cameras. In addition, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan also had a lot of photos of themselves on their phones.

So, the two siblings have learned a lot, and they'll have plenty to talk about when summer vacation and school starts again.

On the fifth day, Xu Lin and his group didn't go to the scenic spots. They simply rested in the hotel during the day and went out for a stroll in the evening.

Day .

The group boarded a plane back to Duanzhou.

"Mom, we are back!"

The moment the two siblings saw Wu Xiulin, they rushed over and threw themselves into their mother's arms.

"Did you have fun?"

Wu Xiulin looked at the two of them with doting eyes.

"happy!"

"Mom, my brother-in-law took us to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Bird's Nest..."

In fact, Wu Xiulin already knew where they had gone during their phone calls over the past few nights, but the children would bring it up again in a serious manner. Their world is really small. In the adult world, their first trip is no less significant than earning a considerable sum of money for the first time.

"Always remember how good your brother-in-law is, okay?" Wu Xiulin instructed. "Okay, Mom!"

"Mom, I'll remember!"

After returning to Duanzhou, Xu Lin stayed for two more days.

All good things must come to an end, and it's time to say goodbye again.

After spending almost ten days with her brother-in-law, Sui Sui and An An were both disappointed and reluctant to see Xu Lin leave.

"Brother-in-law..."

An'an held Xu Lin's hand, looked at him with her big eyes, and looked like she was about to cry.

He'll get better every year; after all, he's a boy.

Xu Lin smiled and said, "My brother-in-law has always been in Jiangdu, and so has my sister. You two must study hard so you can go to university in Jiangdu in the future, okay?"

"OK!"

Both of them nodded seriously.

In fact, Xu Lin could have easily moved his entire family to Jiangdu.

However, it's impossible for me to go to their house.

Xu Lin's father was no longer short of money, but he would still go back to his rural hometown from time to time, because that was his root. On two mountains less than two kilometers from his home lived Xu Lin's grandparents and his father's beloved parents.

The Chinese people are inherently attached to their homeland, a sentiment that cannot be bought with any amount of money.

"Let me know when you're heading back to Jiangdu, and I'll come pick you up."

Xu Lin then spoke to Ning Yuhan.

"Mmm!" Ning Yuhan nodded as well.

Ning Haifeng reminded him, "Xiao Lin, be careful while driving long distances."

"Okay, Uncle, Uncle and Aunt, Sui Sui, An An, I'm leaving now."

Xu Lin bid farewell to everyone and then embarked on his journey to Jiangdu.

Before we knew it, it was already late July.

On the third day after returning to Jiangdu, Xu Lin accompanied Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing to a prenatal checkup.

There were absolutely no problems with the prenatal checkups.

The two have been showing signs of pregnancy for quite some time now.

I found out I was pregnant in early February, and now it's late July. I'll be due to give birth around November.

As for the company, Pei Danqing has stepped down from the front lines, and Chi Linyue rarely visits her own company anymore.

For Xu Lin, his children are far more important than his career.

Even now, Xu Lin makes sure the two of them go to bed before 10 p.m. whenever possible.

That day, Xu Lin went to his own company.

He is the chairman, the true leader of the company, but he rarely appears. The last time he came to the company was in May.

Pei Danqing has temporarily stepped back from the limelight, and now a man named Sheng Minghua is in charge.

Sheng Minghua was once a senior executive at three large companies, so he is capable.

Now, at Xu Lin's Luna Technology, his basic annual salary is 30 million yuan, which is already the highest in China and among the top in the world in terms of base salary. With equity distribution, it's even more outrageous.

Xu Lin aimed to provide the best benefits for his subordinates, directly referencing the global best practices.

There are no motivational platitudes, no empty promises, and no messy company culture like pep talks or a "wolf pack" mentality. All of these trashy cultural practices are absent from his company.

All I get is the money; you just have to do the work for me.

"Young Master Xu, here is the company's recent operating status. Please take a look."

Sheng Minghua submitted materials covering three aspects: financial data, operational indicators, and the progress of strategic implementation.

Xu Lin sat in his office chair.

"Old Sheng, you're in your forties or fifties. Is it appropriate for you to call me, a young man in my early twenties, 'you'?"

Xu Lin said, "Just call me that."

Xu Lin has always been easygoing. Unless someone tries to take advantage of him, in which case he will strike back hard, he will always give people a very easygoing impression.

"Young Master Xu, you..."

"Old Sheng."

"Oh, Young Master Xu, I'll address you as such from now on!"

Sheng Minghua was extremely troubled.

The more he learned, the more he realized just how capable this easygoing young man was.

He's a truly towering figure!

Xu Lin responded and then began to look at the materials.

There was a lot of material, and it would take most people a long time to read it, but Xu Lin understood it all after just one glance.

Currently, Xu Lin is mainly focused on core financial data, namely the income statement and cash flow statement.

As for the issue of assets and liabilities, Xu Lin didn't mention it.

He's currently in a phase of extreme profitability, and no company in the industry can compete with him, especially in the gaming sector. He's currently the only one in China in this field, and the future development won't be as rapid. For example, Xu Lin previously invested in several other companies, but those companies haven't taken off yet.

Therefore, Xu Lin has no competition, and even if there are competitors, they would be difficult to defeat him.

As a result, Xu Lin practically controlled the entire gaming market, with an absurd amount of money.

It's fortunate that Xu Lin isn't a listed company; otherwise, if these figures were released, the outside world would be terrified.

For example, in terms of net profit, in the past three months, which is exactly one quarter, Luna Technology's net profit reached more than 231.6 billion yuan, averaging more than 77 billion yuan per month.

Is this something that can be made public?

Let's keep a low profile!

"Old Sheng, it seems the company is doing quite well."

he said.

"Young Master Xu, it all comes down to your wise leadership..."

"Old Sheng, you old codger, you're trying to flatter me, but I'm not buying it!"

Xu Lin laughed.

Sheng Minghua was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Xu Lin then asked, "Old Sheng, how many employees does our company have again?"

"There are currently 3679 people in total!"

"More than three thousand people, not bad."

Xu Lin thought about it and realized that more than 3,000 people was not a lot. Some of the major internet companies in China had at least 100,000 employees.

However, Xu Lin is only just starting out. As the business expands, the number of employees will increase significantly, reaching at least tens of thousands.

Moreover, the higher-ups also hope that Xu Lin can release more positions, which is one of the company's social responsibilities. It is normal to have to take on some employment.
