It can be described as double insurance.
It can only be said that parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.
It is precisely because of Miura's mother's help that now, whenever Lin Qianshu is present, Miura Yumiko will unconsciously focus her attention on him, while recalling her mother's earnest teachings, thus further deepening her impression.
It's a vicious cycle.
However, Lin Qianshu was unaware of all this. From his perspective, Miura Yumiko's emotions were quite unstable today, leading him to believe that she might be visiting her relatives, and he subconsciously kept his distance from her.
Faced with Kawasaki Saki's question, Lin Qianshu could only shrug and say, "I don't know."
Then, feigning ignorance, he asked in return, "How do you know she's been watching me?"
Kawasaki Saki froze, her body visibly stiffening, and she stammered, "I... I'm right next to you, I can feel whether she's looking at me or not!"
"I'm just asking, why are you so nervous?"
"Who's nervous?!"
"Straighten your tongue before you start being stubborn."
"You!" Kawasaki Saki was both ashamed and angry, but she couldn't do anything about Lin Qianshu. In the end, she had no choice but to shut her mouth and choose to be angry and humiliated.
Seeing that Kawasaki Saki was so easily teased, Lin Qianshu stopped chasing after her and instead comforted her, "Alright, just kidding. Since you care so much about Miura-san, I'll go ask him for you."
"No, who cares about her?" Kawasaki Saki frowned. She had absolutely no liking for Miura Yumiko. Let alone caring about her, it would be good enough if she didn't argue with her.
"That's it..."
Lin Qianshu smiled without saying a word.
If you don't care about her, then isn't it obvious who you care about?
Lin Qianshu didn't say it directly, afraid that the girl in front of him would explode if he did, so he simply walked in the direction of Miura Yumiko.
After a while, Kawasaki Saki, who was lagging behind, suddenly realized this, and blushed instantly across her entire face, even her ears.
The girl patted her cheeks with both hands, looked at Lin Qianshu standing next to Miura Yumiko, and muttered to herself, "Seriously, what am I doing..."
Chapter 63 Money and all that stuff? So vulgar!
Lin's International Chiba Office, downtown Chiba.
"Interesting. I thought that kid would take this opportunity to make some pocket money or find a girlfriend."
On the other end of the phone, the old man's voice sounded a little hoarse, but it carried a smile while also giving off an air of authority without anger. Only someone who has been in a high position for a long time can develop such a way of speaking.
“Young Master Qian Shu clearly has a plan in mind.” Uncle Li’s tone on the other end of the phone was very respectful, because he knew the old man’s identity—the chairman of the Lin Group and the current head of the Lin family.
In terms of blood relations, he is Lin Qianshu's great-grandfather.
"I think he not only has ideas, but his thinking is also quite imaginative. Asking someone who makes motors for home appliances to research motors for cars, I can't believe he even thought of that," Grandpa Lin snorted.
"It seems that what Young Master Qian Shu wants is not a traditional car motor," Uncle Li said after thinking for a moment.
Grandpa Lin clearly already knew what Lin Qianshu was planning. He said, "Of course it's not a traditional car motor. He wants an electric car motor. I don't know where this kid gets his confidence from."
Mr. Lin was well aware that with the traditional gasoline vehicle market gradually becoming saturated, major global players were turning their attention to new energy vehicles. Entering the electric motor market at this time, even if it was a mid-term transformation, did indeed have a chance of success.
The question is, how can Lin Qianshu be so certain that the future automotive industry will move towards new energy?
Just guessing? Doesn't seem like it.
Did someone tell him?
After thinking about it for a moment, Grandpa Lin thought that there was no need for Xiao Li to do this. There are plenty of ways to make money, so why choose this one? It's risky and could easily lead to losses.
So is it really talent?
Grandpa Lin actually received the evaluation of Lin Qianshu from his subordinates, who said that his ability to learn and process information was simply too superhuman.
To be honest, before seeing it with his own eyes, Mr. Lin didn't believe it. He thought his subordinates were just saying nice things to "please" and "flatter" him.
It's similar to saying something like, "Your child is really good; they're destined for great things," when visiting relatives during the Lunar New Year.
But this doesn't explain why these industry elites would all be so convinced of a child who hasn't even graduated from high school.
One or two people might be considered to be 'wanting to improve,' but when a group of people are doing it, it seems a bit too deliberate.
Could Lin Qianshu really be a genius?
After having this thought, Grandpa Lin decided to test the other party's authenticity later. If it was genuine, he would be letting down his younger brother.
After hearing what Grandpa Lin said, Uncle Li on the other end of the phone pretended to hesitate and asked, "Should I stop this project?"
Uncle Li cleverly used the word "I," meaning that he was the one to stop the project, rather than Grandpa Lin giving the order, so as not to affect the relationship between the grandfather and grandson.
How do you say "to take the blame"? "To take the blame" is the Chinese idiom for "to take the blame."
"No need, just do as he says. It's just a small amount of money. The group itself also intends to invest in this area." After a moment of contemplation, Grandpa Lin gave another instruction: "Keep an eye on him. After all, Qian Shu is still a young man and doesn't have any elders around him. Don't let outsiders deceive him."
The outsiders that Grandpa Lin was referring to were the Miura family. In his opinion, Lin Qianshu was still a young man, full of vigor and passion. Although he might have some talent, he might be easily deceived by a woman.
Grandpa Lin's idea was that it was okay to lie, but not too much; just enough to teach Lin Qianshu a lesson.
Uncle Li thought about the girls he met at the bar that day, and how the two girls in the back row were arguing while Lin Qianshu was playing on his phone in the front row when he took them home. He figured that Grandpa Lin might be overthinking things.
Who can fool him?
Not to mention that Lin Qianshu's handling of the situation this time, while objectively speaking, did help the other party, it also felt like he didn't help at all, and even dragged the other party into another quagmire.
If one can wade out of this quagmire, the future will undoubtedly be bright; but if one cannot, one will only drown in this quagmire along with others, becoming nourishment for those who come after.
To escape this predicament, Lin's International's assistance will be indispensable. However, this assistance comes at a price. Even if they manage to stand out from the competition, the company will likely end up with the Lin family's name instead of Miura's.
However, the Miura family won't lose out either. By then, their assets will probably have multiplied several times over, and the people and things they encounter will be very different from what they are now. In a sense, it can be considered a class leap.
Of course, despite thinking this way, Uncle Li wouldn't say it aloud. Faced with Grandpa Lin's instructions, he immediately assured him, "Yes, Chairman Lin. I will handle it well."
"Well, that's it."
……
Lin Qianshu, on the other side, was unaware of this conversation, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. As for how he could be certain that the future trend was new energy... he had traveled from that era.
Although they are not the same world, Lin Qianshu discovered that the overall development direction of the two worlds is extremely similar. The technological level of the world he is currently in is about a dozen years behind the world he came from.
The new energy vehicle industry is currently in the early stages of technological accumulation, and it will be several years before the industry experiences a major boom.
Just like in the previous life, Japan is hoarding patents related to hydrogen energy, hoping to block all avenues for making money so that they can reap the rewards of these patents in the future.
All I can say is that these people know how to dream.
It's like building a highway. Other countries take out loans to build the highway and then build toll booths when it's almost finished. But Japan does the opposite: they build toll booths first, then try to get other countries to help build the road, and then they just wait to collect the money.
It would be a miracle if it could even be accomplished.
However, it must be said that Japan's technology in the field of motors is quite advanced. Both its talent pool and market environment are more than sufficient to support the initial preparations.
As for whether the Lin family can agree with his idea and implement it, Lin Qianshu felt that there shouldn't be much of a problem. Even if it couldn't be implemented, it wouldn't matter, since it wasn't him who would suffer the loss.
In fact, Lin Qianshu did not intend to spend too much time on this. He would rather spend that time figuring out how to unlock the golden request on Yukino Yukinoshita's head.
Money stuff, that's so vulgar!
Remember that money is just an external thing; only warm wishes are real.
If he could obtain an ability as powerful as magnetic field rotation, he would own not only money, but the entire Earth!
Chapter 64 The Power of Convenience
After a man who was actually only in his early thirties but looked like he was in his forties or fifties finished speaking, the workplace visit came to a successful conclusion.
Afterwards, Hiratsuka Shizuka gathered everyone together and gave a few more of the usual advice about being careful on the way back and not staying out too late. Then she announced that the students could go home and find their own mothers.
"What do you say?" Lin Qianshu looked at Kawasaki Saki beside him.
"Working." Kawasaki Saki's words were concise and to the point, which certainly fit her persona.
Perhaps feeling that her words were too harsh, Kawasaki Saki asked again, "What are you planning to do later?"
Lin Qianshu said in a deep voice, "Go home and play games."
Upon hearing this, Kawasaki Saki couldn't help but roll her eyes, and she said irritably:
"goodbye!"
After saying that, Kawasaki Saki turned and walked towards the station without looking back.
Seeing that someone shared his views, Hachiman stepped forward with some satisfaction, patted Lin Qianshu on the shoulder, and offered, "Let's go, we're going the same way back."
Although the Hikigaya family's house wasn't next to the Hayashi family's house like Yukinoshita's, it was actually only two streets away, and they were generally in the same direction. If you took the train, Hayashi Chiki would get off one stop earlier than the Hikigaya family.
However, just as Lin Qianshu was about to agree, a golden figure blocked their way.
It’s Yumiko Miura.
Yumiko Miura seemed a little hesitant. She twirled a strand of her golden hair with her fingers, her eyes darting around, and said in a casual tone, "Um, we're going to Salia (the name of a family restaurant) later, want to come?"
Hachiman scratched his head. To be honest, he wasn't familiar with Miura Yumiko and didn't understand why she suddenly brought this up. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Hayashi Chiki speak up beside him:
"No, I have things to do back home. You guys have fun."
Oh, so it wasn't an invitation to myself.
Hachiman felt both embarrassed and relieved. He was glad he hadn't spoken up rashly, otherwise he would probably have experienced the same awkward situation he had in middle school.
Indeed, people never learn from history.
Why did Miura Yumiko suddenly extend an invitation to Hayashi Chiki?
Are they trying to recruit him into the "normie group"?
Hikigaya looked at Lin Qianshu's appearance again, and it seemed that he did indeed look quite like a popular person.
However, Hikigaya remembered that Miura Yumiko seemed to be nearby just now, and she probably overheard Lin Chiki's comment about going back to play games.
If you use this reason to reject the Queen of Flames, be careful she might get angry.
However, to Hachiman's surprise, after hearing Lin Qianshu's words, Miura Yumiko did not get angry or put on an indifferent attitude to save face. Instead, she nodded very understandingly and said, "I see. Then be careful on your way."
Damn it, Hachiman doubted he had heard correctly. He had never seen such a... docile (?) Miura Yumiko. Was this still the fiery-tempered Flame Queen he remembered?
Or is it that the other person is actually Yuihama, who just dyed her hair blonde and mistook her for Miura Yumiko?
"If Lin Qianshu isn't coming, is Aqi coming?"
Just as Hikigaya was beginning to suspect that the woman in front of him, Miura Yumiko, was actually Yui Hihama in disguise, the real Yui Hihama extended an invitation to him.
Hachiman declined almost without much thought, saying, "No, I have things to do back home. Have fun."
"I see. Then be careful on your way."
See? Yuihama would definitely say that.
Upon hearing this, Miura Yumiko frowned and said, "You just want to go back to playing games, right? It's really awful that Yuihama would take the initiative to invite a boy."
Hikigaya:?
No, you...
Lin Qianshu said she had something to do and went back, and you said "be careful on the road." I said I had something to do and went back, but you said I was "incompetent."
Double standards, huh?
Hikigaya was a little nervous. Although he really wanted to question Miura Yumiko, he could only pretend he hadn't heard her because of the huge difference in their ecological niches.
……
When the tram arrived at the station, Lin Qianshu said goodbye to Tong Qigu, got off the tram, and planned to buy some bread from the bakery at the station entrance for dinner.
As soon as he arrived at the bakery, he noticed a familiar figure talking to the clerk. However, the clerk behind the counter seemed not to hear anything and continued to busy himself with his own work.
"Please give me a cream bun, a sandwich, and three hot dog buns, please pack the cream buns separately, thank you," Lin Qianshu said to the clerk.
The staff reacted immediately and handed over the prepared food as requested by Lin Qianshu.
After paying, Lin Qianshu handed the cream bread wrapped in a paper bag to the pretty girl next to him.
He said, "Wearing your school uniform, I almost didn't recognize you, Sakurajima-senpai."
After hesitating for a moment, Mai Sakurajima took the bread from Chiki Hayashi and said, "I'm really sorry that you didn't recognize me because I wasn't wearing a bunny girl uniform."
"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"
