After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Old Mrs. Lin laughed a few times and waved her hands, saying, "I'm old, old... You young people, I don't mind flirting and dating, but please don't fall in love. In the end, you'll be the one who gets hurt!"

"That's what grandma taught me. Don't worry, I'm just playing around."

The old man's view on love is still as unscrupulous as ever... Lin Yun complained in his heart.

Influenced by Old Lady Lin, the descendants of the Lin family generally treat love as a game and marriage as a transaction. They spend their time in debauchery before marriage and after marriage... in a low-key manner.

This is also why Lin Yun has a bad reputation. As a member of the Lin family, he has left a deep negative impression on the people of Beicang. Given his identity, he will be judged as a scumbag.

Of course, Lin Yun doesn't care about this now. He is very satisfied with his current image of a bad boy. It is a good disguise, and those who really care about him understand his true nature and will not be shaken by other people's impressions - such as Qianxi and Yu Sheng, who are willing to rent a house with him despite the pressure of public opinion, which is enough to show how deep the friendship between the three is.

Lin Yun glanced into the living room and found his dear uncle kneeling on the washboard.

By the way, washboards have long been eliminated, and Grandma Lin kept a few of them specifically to punish the younger generation.

The uncle looked frustrated and nervous. When Old Lady Lin led Lin Yun in, he frowned and pleaded, "Mother, please give me another chance..."

"Opportunity?" Old Lady Lin sneered disdainfully. "You have been working on the Hengxin Electromechanical acquisition for six months, but not only did you not save a dime in costs, but the bribery scandal was exposed, causing great damage to the reputation of the Lin Group... Why do you think I should continue to give this matter to you?!"

Different from her amiable expression when facing Lin Yun, at this moment, Mrs. Lin's temperament as a superior was clearly revealed.

The wrinkles on my uncle's face couldn't help but tremble, and he said in a low voice: "Mother, if I give you a little more time, I can take care of them all..."

"Okay, I've decided to let the second brother take over. You can just leave and don't bother me anymore."

"..."

The uncle moved his lips but did not dare to argue.

In this family, no one can change the decision made by Mrs. Lin.

Lin Yun understood why his uncle was so frustrated. On the surface, it was just a business failure, but in reality it was about the fight for inheritance rights.

Different from the system of primogeniture followed by many families, Old Lady Lin announced early on that the successor to the Lin Group would be chosen entirely based on talent and virtue, so the competition among uncles was fierce.

Lin Yun's father was the youngest in the family and also participated in the competition. In Lin Yun's memory, his father was always busy with work, but he seemed to have no business talent and was just busy doing nothing. In the most exaggerated year, Lin Yun only saw his father twice, once on New Year's Eve and the other time was Mrs. Lin's birthday.

The mother is a typical wealthy lady, with her head filled with fashion shows of major luxury brands. Sometimes she even forgets what grade her son is in - after all, Lin Yun's position in the family is a mascot! Since Mrs. Lin doesn't pay attention to him, his parents certainly don't pay attention to him either. The Lin family can be said to be obedient to Mrs. Lin, the feudal patriarch.

Lin Yun said he didn't care about it. He was not a biological child anyway. Due to his experiences in his previous life, he had no sense of belonging to this family or even the entire family.

The only thing he cared about was how to get more money from the family before his identity was exposed.

(Oh, this is the author Mei Yu~ a newbie, shivering~)

(Friends who like it, please remember to collect and like it, and it would be best if you can vote for it. This is a great encouragement for Meiyu, thank you meow~)

15. The real relatives are Yu Sheng and Qian Xi

Despite being scolded by Old Lady Lin, the uncle still did not give up. He looked at Old Lady Lin with a flattering smile.

Uncle is a hard-working person in the Lin family. It's a pity that he often cannot bring good results. Old Mrs. Lin is a pragmatist who values ​​results, so naturally she doesn't have a good temper towards Uncle.

But the uncle was well-behaved and docile, and never talked back, which really pleased Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin just glanced at him with disdain, asked the servants to bring tea and snacks, and took Lin Yun aside to talk, but did not chase the uncle away.

Old Lady Lin asked about various things on campus, and Lin Yun answered them one by one, flawlessly maintaining his image as the silly grandson of a landlord.

When talking about club activities, Lin Yun still expressed that he had no interest and just used the Internet Entrepreneurship Club to earn credits.

When it came to a topic that my uncle was familiar with, he still knelt on the washboard, leaned over and said, "You should participate in more school activities. It's a good opportunity to exercise your leadership skills... I, uncle..."

Old Lady Lin interrupted coldly: "You were the student union president back then, why can't you even handle a simple acquisition now?"

Uncle: ...QAQ

To be honest, Lin Yun felt sorry for him.

It is really pitiful that a middle-aged man of his age has to give up his dignity. To put it bluntly, the inheritance rights of the Lin Group are too tempting. No one in the second generation is willing to give up and will seize every glimmer of opportunity before them.

Old Mrs. Lin touched the back of Lin Yun's head with great pride: "My dear A-Yun, don't worry about those crap. You are the most beloved child in the whole family. Look at your eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. Wow... You are even more handsome than grandpa when he was young!"

"really?"

"Of course it's true. How could grandma lie to you? Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. Just be happy and don't think too much."

When he was eighteen years old in his previous life, Lin Yun would be very happy to hear this, because it meant that he could play to his heart's content, without having to go to a company for training, or be tortured by all kinds of strict tutoring like his older brothers and sisters.

It was not until he was kicked out of the house that Lin Yun gradually realized that Mrs. Lin’s tolerance towards him could also be understood as exile.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Yun was treated as someone who would never come into contact with the core of family power. No wonder his parents did not pay attention to him. If Lin Yun was valued by Grandma Lin, she might give the inheritance rights to his father for Lin Yun's sake, but in Grandma Lin's eyes, Lin Yun was almost like a "pet".

That's why my father worked so hard on his career.

So when the male protagonist appeared, the father was overjoyed and hurriedly told Lin Yun to get out, because Old Lady Lin admired the male protagonist very much, and the father felt that the male protagonist was ten thousand times more useful than the waste Lin Yun.

Even now, when the uncle faced Lin Yun, there was inevitably a look of contempt in his eyes, because Lin Yun posed no threat at all.

In this family, Lin Yun is someone who can be replaced at any time.

……

After paying his respects, Lin Yun left the Yangxin Pavilion and returned to the hotel where he was staying for competition training.

I sent a message to Yu Sheng, but there was no reply. I guess he was immersed in the training of Lin Xiangling. So Lin Yun didn't bother him. He just took advantage of this free time to take care of his own personal matters.

The so-called private affairs are to develop Lin Yun's own power and hide it from the family's spies.

During the World Cup last summer, Lin Yun traveled to Europe alone.

In a dirty and chaotic bar in Naples, Lin Yun grabbed the drunk Chinese man by the collar, looked straight into his decadent eyes, and asked him if he wanted to make a comeback.

The once powerful financier shook his head disapprovingly.

Then Lin Yun snatched away the only 200 euros he had, exchanged them for football lottery tickets and stuffed them back into the man's pocket. The lottery ticket he bought was an outrageous score that the man felt would never appear even if the world was destroyed.

The next day, all the customers in the bar who were watching the game covered their heads and doubted their lives.

The man held the lottery ticket in his hand, a faint light flickering in his dull eyes.

Two hundred euros, with odds of six thousand five hundred, was enough for him to pay off all his personal debts.

After paying off the debt, the man used the remaining funds to buy a decent enough suit. He retrieved his securities practitioner qualification certificate, which had not been used for a long time, from a cardboard box sealed with tape in the basement. He found Lin Yun according to the address written on the small note left that night.

From then on he became Lin Yun's agent.

One year later, a financial unicorn named "Sirius Capital" has risen at an astonishing speed in the overseas market.

He is involved in many fields, is good at short-term operations, and plays aggressively. His keen sense of the market and accurate judgment make people in the industry call him cheating.

The company's general manager is Bai Jiangbo, a Chinese investor who was once on the verge of bankruptcy;

The boss behind the scenes has never shown up, which undoubtedly adds a layer of mystery.

Some people say that this company is a shill for some of the world's top investment tycoons;

Some people also say that Sirius represents the will of a certain official.

No one would have guessed that the person leading all this was actually a sophomore in high school...

"Hey, Old White, long time no see."

At the desk in the hotel, Lin Yun waved at the camera of his mobile phone. On the video call, Bai Jiangbo was in a beautifully decorated restaurant, with melodious violin sounds coming from the background.

A well-tailored casual suit, neatly trimmed hair and beard, an expensive watch and gold-rimmed glasses... The Bai Jiangbo in front of him was completely different from the decadent man Lin Yun found in the bar a year ago.

Lin Yun even saw in the screen that a beautiful woman dressed in seductive clothes came to chat with Bai Jiangbo, but Bai Jiangbo said that he was working and politely declined.

"Sure, Lao Bai, are you having good luck with women recently?" Lin Yun teased.

"You're kidding... I can't even make enough money, so how can I have the time to deal with romance?" Bai Jiangbo laughed at himself and quickly got down to business. "Boss, the AI ​​recognition teams you asked me to talk to have all been finalized. Several founders have expressed their willingness to give up their equity and merge into a technology company."

"Very good. Let them work on the technical matters. They are all top students from MIT and UCB, so they can always come up with something... As for HR and finance, send a few of our own people to keep an eye on them."

"I understand." Bai Jiangbo paused, but couldn't help asking, "I still find it a bit magical. Will artificial intelligence... really become the next hot topic?"

It was the end of summer in 2015, and the concept of AI was gradually gaining popularity in the startup community. Some of the fastest-growing teams received angel investments from various capital firms.

However, Bai Jiangbo was not sure whether this was the general trend or a false prosperity.

Artificial intelligence is actually a concept with a very long history.

It may seem trendy to ordinary people, but industry insiders know that the prototype of the current mainstream artificial intelligence algorithm can even be traced back to the 1970s.

To put it simply, it is like old wine in new bottles, and it is likely to be another hype.

According to Bai Jiangbo, when it comes to Internet investment, we should choose more practical projects, such as the recently popular e-commerce, self-media, and shared bicycles...

Lin Yun invested heavily in AI projects, which made Bai Jiangbo a little confused, but he resolutely carried out Lin Yun's orders. After all, Sirius's achievements in the past year proved that Lin Yun's vision was sharp and not something that ordinary people could understand.

Of course, Bai Jiangbo was not questioning Lin Yun at all, he just wanted to hear more of his reasoning.

"Yes, believe me... The computing power of contemporary graphics cards meets the objective conditions for research. In the next few years, there will be obvious progress in the field of AI. Papers from major research institutions will emerge like mushrooms after rain, and governments will also subsidize this aspect... In short, don't worry. I have a new plan here, a domestic company, right in Beicang, you help me buy it."

"Domestic?" Bai Jiangbo's eyes lit up. "Boss, are you finally going to start developing the domestic market?"

"Yes. I've sent you the company name. Please prepare a copy of the information and send it to me."

"I see... Um, Hengxin Mechanical and Electrical, in the manufacturing industry... Wait, I found out that the Lin Group is negotiating with this company about the acquisition..."

"Yes, my eldest uncle is in charge of the acquisition, and maybe my second uncle will do it later... It doesn't matter. Anyway, Sirius will buy it."

Looking at Lin Yun's determined expression, Bai Jiangbo seemed to understand something.

Lin Yun did not hide his identity from Bai Jiangbo. In fact, he could not hide it at all. As the third generation young master of the Lin family, he had a handsome appearance like a movie star and often got into trouble at school. Everyone in the wealthy circle knew him.

Lin Yun asked Bai Jiangbo to be his agent, obviously to keep it a secret from his family, which means that Sirius Capital is purely Lin Yun's personal achievement and has nothing to do with the family.

Bai Jiangbo thought this was too horrible.

If Lin Yun hadn't chosen him by chance, he wouldn't have thought that this young master could have any other identity besides being a playboy.

Wisdom, skill, scheming... Bai Jiangbo had a deep understanding of Lin Yun's horror, so when he learned that Lin Yun lived with two little girls, he didn't find it strange.

Having said that, the Lin Group was planning to acquire a company, and it was a very important acquisition - if it wasn't important, it wouldn't have been given to Lin Yun's uncle and second uncle to do - Lin Yun actually wanted to snatch it from the tiger's mouth?

At first glance, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members fighting against each other was pure brainless behavior;

Considering Lin Yun's status and situation in the family, there is a lot of mystery when you think about it carefully.

After a moment of silence, Bai Jiangbo asked, "Boss, did you take over Hengxin... to show grandma your ability? This is a good strategy. Grandma really appreciates ambitious and courageous descendants. I'm afraid the inheritance of the Lin family will not be passed on to a well-behaved child..."

"Who said I was trying to fight for the Lin family's inheritance?" Lin Yun smiled and shook his head. "You're wrong. I just happened to need this company in my plan. Buying it can disgust my uncles, so why not do it?"

"..."

Listening to Lin Yun's joking tone, Bai Jiangbo couldn't help but feel curious. It seemed that there was a grudge between him and his uncles?

But he didn't dare to ask more. It was someone else's family affair, so he'd better not interfere.

Lin Yun's eyes flickered as he recalled what those relatives had done in his previous life.

When they learned that Lin Yun had no family blood, they immediately tore off their usual mask of kindness and wished that Lin Yun would vomit out all the meals he had eaten in the Lin family over the years.

"Blood ties come first" is the family rule established by Old Lady Lin. The family ties that have existed for more than twenty years are not worth mentioning at all.

But Lin Yun did nothing wrong.

In this case, Lin Yun does not need to worry about anyone in the Lin family in this life.

The Lin Group is just doing this for fun; their real relatives are Yu Sheng and Qian Xi.

16. Rich people really know how to have fun

The hotel provides free buffet for students who are training for the competition.

Lin Xiangling was about to go when Yu Sheng stopped her.

"The buffet is too slow, just call room service for two bowls of noodles."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Sheng took out a thick textbook from his schoolbag and handed it to Lin Xiangling.

"Read pages 157 to 173 in half an hour, and then I'll give you some questions to do."

"Oh...oh, okay!"

Lin Xiangling was stunned at first, but soon came to her senses and began to get excited.

Yu Sheng actually wanted to give her special tutoring! !

After attending the training, Lin Xiangling heard others chatting and often mentioned Yu Sheng.

Everyone admires Yu Sheng. Although they have some opinions about her close relationship with Lin Yun, her strength is recognized by everyone.

Lin Xiangling was naturally very grateful to such a talented person for taking the time to tutor her.

Even, it’s a little unbelievable.

"I-can I really do that?"
