The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

"A portion?" Li Xiaoyue asked curiously, "How much exactly is 'a portion'?"

"Cash and real estate, it's probably worth several hundred million!" Lin Yang's words left Li Xiaoyue speechless. "Several hundred million? Just a portion? Is your dad a hidden billionaire?"

"Yes, it was well hidden. I only found out tonight," Lin Yang nodded. "Guess which company my dad owns?"

"Could it be the company you worked for before, or the company I work for now?" Li Xiaoyue asked.

"It's the company I work for now," Lin Yang said, which surprised Li Xiaoyue even more. "You mean... the investment company you work for now is your dad's company? You're working in your family's company?"

"Yes, my dad was the former chairman of Xuyang Investment. His name is Lin Xudong, and my name is Lin Yang, so it's Xuyang Investment," Lin Yang nodded.

"Then the company now..." Li Xiaoyue was a little confused.

"With someone managing it, I can't take over the company until I'm at least thirty," Lin Yang said. "My dad probably worries that I'm too young and don't understand investment, so he can't support such a large investment company. That's why he prepared a trust fund a long time ago."

"So, you're a second-generation rich kid?" Li Xiaoyue asked in a daze.

"What's wrong? Feeling pressured or burdened? Actually, I'm a little confused myself!" Lin Yang said with a smile. "Tell me, if you really handed the investment company over to me to manage, I really don't have the confidence to manage it well."

"I...I need to digest this," Li Xiaoyue said, picking up Lin Yang's water glass and taking two sips.

"Let's digest it together!" Lin Yang took back his cup and drank some water.

The two drank like they were drinking, taking turns sips, and before they knew it, they were laughing.

"Honey, does that mean we won't be short of money in the future?" Li Xiaoyue asked with a smile.

"Yes, in a year and a half, no, starting now, you can buy whatever you want. Don't have any worries, because in a year and a half, we won't be short of money. We'll have enough money to eat and drink for the rest of our lives," Lin Yang said confidently.

"What am I worried about? I'm spending my future husband's money, what's there to worry about?" Li Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"No wonder you wanted to take me on a trip," Li Xiaoyue said excitedly. "Then we need to plan our road trip route in advance..."

"Let's wash up and go to bed first! We can think about this tomorrow. Come on, let's wash together..." Lin Yang said, pulling Li Xiaoyue to the master bedroom's bathroom.

The next morning, Lin Yang arrived at the company looking refreshed, which made the female employees who greeted him politely stare at him. They felt that Lin Yang was especially energetic and handsome today, and his whole person was full of charm.

Even Luo Yin, Lin Yang's investment manager, couldn't help but dazzle when she saw Lin Yang walking by in her office. She quickly gathered project materials and went to Lin Yang's office.

In Lin Yang's office, his assistant Cheng Lin was still slightly lost in thought as she watched him walk towards his desk. Noticing Luo Yin knocking and entering, she quickly greeted her, "Manager Luo!"

Luo Yin nodded to her and then walked with a smile towards Lin Yang, who had just sat down behind his desk and turned on his computer: "President Lin, they say that good things happen and people are in high spirits. What great news have you had? Would you like to share it with me?"

"I'm planning to take a long vacation and go on a trip with my girlfriend for a while. Do you think that's a good thing?" Lin Yang's words surprised Luo Yin.

"President Lin, are you kidding me? You've only been here a few months, and you're already taking a vacation? How long are you planning to take it?" Luo Yin asked with a curious smile.

"It would take at least a year and a half to drive all over the country! I'll also travel abroad a bit, and I'll try to come back by the end of next year!" Lin Yang said casually.

Luo Yin's smile froze on her face, and Cheng Lin at the door looked over in surprise. Was she about to lose her job?

"Mr. Lin, are you leaving?" Luo Yin asked tentatively.

Taking a long vacation? Are you kidding me? What kind of vice president takes a vacation of more than a year? Does he think he owns the company?

"Leave? Don't worry, I'll be back. Work here with peace of mind, and you'll see me again by the end of next year if nothing unexpected happens," Lin Yang said with a smile.

With an awkward smile, Luo Yin handed the documents in her hand to Lin Yang: "Mr. Lin, please take a look at this project..."

Lin Yang took the document and glanced through it. Before Luo Yin could finish her introduction, he nodded and said, "Okay, Manager Luo, I trust your judgment. Let's proceed!"

"Okay, Mr. Lin," Luo Yin replied happily, got up and left.

A short while later, Cheng Lin, who had made Lin Yang a cup of coffee, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, are you really leaving?"

"Okay, take a break!" Lin Yang nodded, glancing at Cheng Lin, and added, "Don't worry, I'll talk to President Xu before I leave and make sure everything is arranged for you. I've seen your resume... Cheng Lin, are you interested in investing?"

"Of course I want to! But my major isn't relevant, and I don't have enough experience," Cheng Lin said, her eyes lighting up, but then she couldn't help but feel a little downcast.

"It's alright," Lin Yang said. "I'm not a professional either. If you're interested, I'll have Luo Yin mentor you and you can learn more from her."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin," Cheng Lin said with a hint of surprise.

Cheng Lin was able to be assigned by President Xu to be Lin Yang's assistant, so her abilities must be quite good. She is also meticulous and thoughtful in her work. Lin Yang is very comfortable using her and naturally doesn't mind training her well.

Xuyang Investment was left to him by his father. It's his own company, and he'll definitely manage it personally in the future. Even if he hires someone to manage it, he'll need a few trusted confidants to keep an eye on things.

While Lin Yang and Cheng Lin were talking, President Xu suddenly knocked on the door and came in. After instructing Cheng Lin to leave first, he sat down opposite Lin Yang and said:

"President Lin, you already know, right? I've been with the company for twenty years, and I was practically trained by your father. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Xu like Lü Wei does, or you can still call me President Xu, it's all fine."

"Aunt Xu, you kept this from me for so long. When I first came here, you were so polite to me, I thought it was because Uncle Lü had a lot of influence," Lin Yang said with a smile.

Mr. Xu couldn't help but laugh: "As expected of the chairman's son, even though you have no prior experience in investment, you still have the same discerning eye as the chairman! Even someone as picky as Lao Zhou is very satisfied with you."

"Aunt Xu, what about President Zhou and Lu Jie..." Lin Yang asked tentatively.

"Lu Jie was trained by Lao Zhou, so he's practically his apprentice. But Lao Zhou is a man who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. Although Lu Jie joined the company later, he was personally invited by the chairman after three visits, so he's absolutely trustworthy," said General Manager Xu.

"Old Zhou's greatest strength is that he is reliable and capable but doesn't vie for power. Originally, with the chairman gone, he was the most suitable candidate to exercise the powers of the acting chairman. However, because of General Manager Lü, he chose to step down voluntarily, allowing Lü Wei and me to jointly manage the company's affairs."

"President Lin..." President Xu had just begun to speak when Lin Yang quickly replied, "Aunt Xu, just call me Lin Yang."

"Okay," Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Lin Yang, did Mr. Lü tell you when he plans to let you act as chairman?"

"You didn't explain in detail. Am I supposed to be thirty before I can inherit Xuyang Investment?" Lin Yang asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but only management authority; important decisions require a board vote," Mr. Xu said, adding quickly.

"Both Lao Zhou and I are directors, so we will naturally support you as acting chairman. If General Manager Lü doesn't object, most decisions will be passed smoothly."

Lin Yang nodded to indicate that he understood. To put it bluntly, President Xu, President Zhou, and President Lü were essentially regents. Lin Yang could make some decisions, but he needed to convince them to agree first.
