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

After the initial panic subsided, Yu Sheng quickly calmed down. She and Jiang Qianxi had had conflicts more than once or twice, and each time it was Lin Yun who mediated.

There's really nothing to panic about.

However, Yu Sheng still felt a little guilty. Unlike Lin Yun, she only remembered now that she had secretly improved her relationship with Little Pig without informing Jiang Qianxi in advance. Was this considered a betrayal?

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned down, and Yu Sheng walked with his head down as if he had done something wrong.

Lin Xiangling next to her also understood what was going on and apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry..."

"It's not your fault. It's...I didn't handle it well." Yu Sheng smiled at Lin Xiangling, "Don't worry."

Lin Xiangling was amazed by her smile. Yu Sheng usually had no expression, and this slightly fragile smile did not seem to belong to her.

The relationship between the three of them... is really special, Lin Xiangling was secretly amazed. If it were a normal situation, Yu Sheng should blame her for destroying the balance among the three, or complain that Jiang Qianxi was too stingy.

Lin Xiangling has been accustomed to the intrigues and trivialities in interpersonal relationships between girls since she was a child, and has tasted the familiar flavor enough times.

However, these three...

The taste is weird.

As for what exactly is wrong, Lin Xiangling can't tell at the moment and needs to continue observing.

During the break, Lin Yun and Jiang Qianxi both skipped the flag-raising ceremony. Lin Xiangling guessed that they must have gone to the club activity room, which was a great place to talk.

It just so happened that Yu Sheng was reading a script under the national flag and would not appear in the activity room. This was a good opportunity to resolve the conflict.

She was right.

"…I don't care if she did it on purpose or not. If she had no ulterior motive, why didn't she tell me in advance? I'm not a stingy person!"

Jiang Qianxi's tone was undoubtedly questioning, but her questioning posture was fierce. She was aggressive as soon as she entered the room. When Lin Yun came to his senses, he had already fallen back on the soft sofa. Jiang Qianxi's flexible and strong legs locked Lin Yun's waist, and her hands were on his shoulders, looking down at him condescendingly.

"Could it be that Shengsheng and you don't take me seriously?"

Her voice sounded a little uncalm. Lin Yun rubbed his ears and asked calmly, "You think this way before you even heard my explanation? Just because I didn't tell you right away, I denied that we cared about each other. Is this really what you meant, Jiang Qianxi?"

"..."

Lin Yun's attitude was not cold, rather he was telling a story in a leisurely manner, but this was not the way he was used to communicating with Jiang Qianxi.

From the very beginning, Lin Yun liked to coax her. If he failed to coax her, it meant that he had reached the point where he had to reason with Jiang Qianxi.

Jiang Qianxi likes to act coquettishly and likes the feeling of being pampered, so she always pays attention to Lin Yun's attitude.

She did not continue to ask questions, but just looked at Lin Yun steadily.

Lin Yun felt that the time was right, so he began to argue:

"You know, Yu Sheng is actually very lonely. People often say that geniuses are lonely. It's not that they like loneliness, but they just lack the right people to communicate with. Take Yu Sheng for example. If she wants to talk about serious matters, my brain is barely enough. As for you..."

"What's wrong with me?!" Jiang Qianxi rolled her eyes in anger and punched him with her fists.

"...Don't do it, I'm just stating the objective facts... Anyway, Lin Xiangling and her get along very well in terms of study. You think they are very close, but it's just an illusion. As for why I didn't tell you in advance, don't you understand Yu Sheng's brain? She got angry while playing a game and even scolded me. It's normal that she didn't remember to tell you when she was obsessed with studying. She feels guilty now. Do you want to see her feeling guilty and sad?"

Jiang Qianxi's stubbornness only lasted for a few seconds, then she shook her head vigorously and added unwillingly: "Then, then she should also take the initiative to apologize to me, hum... We clearly agreed to work together on the matter of the little fragrant pig, but she ran away secretly..."

"You guys have discussed this kind of thing? Also, what is a miniature pig?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. Anyway, go find Yu Sheng and explain everything. I...I still need to take some time."

Jiang Qianxi let go of Lin Yun and ran away. Lin Yun thought she was trying to cover up something she had let slip.

But...Little Sweet Pig, this name really suits Lin Xiangling, but I don’t know if she will like it.

Lin Yun sighed. It turned out that the bigger the team, the harder it was to manage. Fortunately, he was smart enough and the three big guys managed to coordinate.

23. Jiang Qianxi also wants to monopolize a part of Lin Yun

In the evening, Yu Sheng left school early and went home to prepare a sumptuous meal for Jiang Qianxi.

There is no mandatory evening self-study session at Delin Middle School; it is entirely voluntary. Some students like the atmosphere of doing homework together and will voluntarily choose to stay in the classroom, but the trio of childhood sweethearts are obviously not among them.

It was just past seven o'clock in the evening when Lin Yun and Jiang Qianxi arrived home. When they opened the door, what caught their eyes was the dazzling array of delicacies on the dining table.

Jiang Qianxi had expected this, but was still a little shocked. These... were all dishes made by Shengsheng herself. How amazing.

Jiang Qianxi was afraid that she would never be able to achieve such excellent cooking skills in her next life.

At this time, Yu Sheng appeared in front of the kitchen door holding a soup bowl and looked at Jiang Qianxi. They both looked away awkwardly at the same time. Yu Sheng even spilled some soup on the ground due to his shaking hands.

"Let me wipe it!" Jiang Qianxi blurted out, subconsciously grabbed the tissue and ran over. When she got in front of Yu Sheng, she realized that they had not reconciled yet. What was this?

Do I have to squat on the ground and wipe off the soup stains like usual?

At least now Jiang Qianxi is unwilling to bow to Yu Sheng.

Fortunately, Lin Yun arrived in time: "Let me do it... Are the dishes ready?"

"Ah."

"I'll go get the rest, you guys take a rest first."

When Lin Yun brought the dishes, he found that his two childhood sweethearts had entered Yu Sheng's bedroom. He immediately understood that this was the classic part after every conflict: a closed-door meeting.

Lin Yun had no idea about the contents of all the previous Qingmei closed-door meetings. They did not allow him to sit in, and he had no intention of exploring them subjectively.

It is true that the three of them are close friends, but no matter how close they are, there are always differences that need to be resolved individually. This is human nature, and Lin Yun is willing to give them enough space.

Jiang Qianxi sat on the chair that Yu Sheng usually used. Yu Sheng clenched his hands on the edge of the bed. The scene inexplicably looked a bit like a young mother scolding her precocious daughter.

As a result, Jiang Qianxi's aura was weakened. She was not the kind of girl who liked to boss others around.

After holding it in for a long time, she spoke with resentment: "In the future, discuss this kind of thing with me in advance..."

"Yeah!" Yu Sheng saw that she didn't seem very angry, and pulled her hand with sparkling eyes, "Qianxi..."

"I know it's rare for you to find someone who is good at studying with you. This time it's Little Pig, but what about next time? Will there be a new girl breaking into our little world?"

"Not anymore……"

"Ayun said that you are very lonely, but you never took the initiative to find someone to confide in before. The little fragrant pig must be special to you, right?"

Jiang Qianxi's tone was not very sure. She believed 90% of what Lin Yun said, but she felt that there must be other factors. Based on her understanding of Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng was a purely autistic child. It always felt a little bit incongruous for her to take the initiative to open her heart and sleep with Lin Xiangling leaning her head against hers.

But when seeing Yu Sheng's evasive eyes after he shook his head violently, Jiang Qianxi was sure that the truth lay within that 10% possibility.

Biting her lip, Jiang Qianxi asked, "There are other reasons. Lin Yun doesn't want to tell me, but you will tell me, right?"

"..."

"It was Lin Yun's idea. You approached the little pig to obey his idea, right?"

"..."

Yu Sheng just remained silent.

Jiang Qianxi knew that she had guessed right, so she stopped asking questions. Instead, she slapped her thigh and suddenly smiled, like Maori Kogoro who thought he had figured out the truth: "I knew that my Shengsheng would not betray me! Ayun must have asked you not to tell me. It's okay, I won't make it difficult for you if you don't tell me. Humph... stinky Ayun has really grown up and become too independent. He is acting weird all day long. I don't know what he is plotting..."

"Don't make things difficult for Ayun. He had no choice." Yu Sheng said.

Lin Yun’s friendship with Lin Xiangling is indeed pure.

Especially when she knew that Lin Yun was acting according to the old Taoist's instructions and then observed his interaction with Lin Xiangling, Yu Sheng suddenly realized that Lin Yun's help to her was indeed different. Lin Yun helped her without any utilitarian purpose, while helping Lin Xiangling was the Taoist's duty. It was clear which was more important. This made Yu Sheng feel a sense of superiority when facing Lin Xiangling, and naturally she was no longer jealous.

but……

These cannot be told to Jiang Qianxi.

The matter about the old Taoist priest was the answer Yu Sheng got after repeatedly asking Lin Yun. They had agreed that this was a secret between the two of them.

It is a secret that Yu Sheng cherishes very much and is unwilling to share with Jiang Qianxi.

Jiang Qianxi rushed over and hugged her, rocking her on the bed. Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Finally... they made up.

"Let's go out for dinner. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

"OK!"

Jiang Qianxi held her from behind as they walked, a fleeting haze of gloom flashing across her pretty face.

after all……

There are some things between Yu Sheng and Lin Yun that she cannot interfere with.

It's cooking, it's programming, it's the final math question, it's economics, politics, technology...all the profound conversations.

It is also the hidden secret behind this storm.

unhappy.

Jiang Qianxi also wanted to monopolize a part of Lin Yun.

……

During the closed-door meeting of the two childhood sweethearts, Lin Yun got bored of waiting and couldn't help showing off his sweet and sour pork ribs. He ate ten out of thirteen pieces and was chased by them with pillows.

Of the remaining three pieces, Jiang Qianxi ate two, and Yu Sheng gave in to her by only eating one.

……

Thursday.

Lin Yun asked for a day off from school.

Sirius Capital's acquisition plan for Hengxin Mechanical & Electrical received enthusiastic feedback - Hengxin's boss warmly welcomed it, while the Lin Group strongly protested.

Hengxin then convened all directors with voting rights to hold an acquisition hearing on Thursday afternoon, and sincerely invited the two parties with acquisition intentions to participate.

This is a crucial battle that determines who will get the qualification for the acquisition. It is very important. Bai Jiangbo called Lin Yun in advance for instructions. Lin Yun said to proceed according to the original plan. He will be present at the time. Remember to pay attention to his hints and act accordingly.

"You're going to attend the hearing? Are you going to reveal your hidden identity to the Lin family so early?" Bai Jiangbo was very surprised.

"No, I'm attending at Lin's."

"?"

"I have discussed it with my uncle and asked him to take me out to see the world. I can just take a seat in the audience."

"..."

In the end, Mrs. Lin still took into consideration the old uncle's hard-working nature and did not hand the acquisition over to the second uncle, but gave the old uncle another chance.

A few days ago, Lin Yun would go back to Yangxin Pavilion after school every day, and pester his uncle to take him to the hearing site to play.

News about the Hengxin Mechanical and Electrical acquisition has been frequently in local news recently, including a hearing scheduled for Thursday, where the media will also be present.

Hengxin is a representative local technology company. Now that the country advocates industrial upgrading, a long-established electromechanical manufacturer with tens of thousands of employees is worthy of attention.

Lin Yun thought this was very cool and wanted to follow his uncle to watch the fun... Well, I can only say that it was very consistent with his character of a playboy.

The uncle was a little hesitant at first, fearing that he would cause trouble, but it was Old Lady Lin who made the final decision and said that Lin Yun should go, and if he didn't obey, his pocket money would be deducted.

So far, the family still treats Lin Yun as a child, and no one realizes that Lin Yun actually wants to appreciate his uncle's failure from a close distance...

Bai Jiangbo really admired Lin Yun. It was bad enough that he was full of evil intentions, but he also liked to kill people. If he had been born a few decades earlier, he would have become a legendary swindler like Frank Abagnale.

24. Lin Yun is good at pretending to be stupid

Although Hengxin Mechanical & Electrical's factory is not located in the center of Beicang City, it is in an excellent location, not far from the Beicang River and adjacent to the Beicang New City built by the new mayor at a huge cost. Looking towards the river from the factory director's office, the office building belonging to the Lin Group stands tall there, looking down from day to night, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.

Factory Director Xu Dong made a cup of Tieguanyin tea and sipped it slowly while standing by the window. He looked at the logo of the Lin Group on the top of the office building, as if thinking about something.

Should we succumb to the giant that is so close at hand, or catch the meteor that is streaking across the universe?

he does not know.

Someone rushed into the office rashly. It was the daughter of an engineer in the factory. She was a very outstanding student who studied at Delin Middle School and was the student union president.

"Uncle Xu, I found a classmate from the school's news department. She can write an article about today's hearing and publish it in the school newspaper. Delin's school newspaper is very influential, especially the WeChat public account that has been very popular this year. It is managed by this classmate and often publishes popular articles with tens of thousands of readers..."

"Thank you, Xiao Wang." Xu Dong smiled kindly and didn't take it seriously.

No matter how influential the school newspaper of Delin Middle School is... Little girl, do you know who owns Delin Middle School?

But he didn't expose it. Young people should always be a little passionate and naive. Otherwise, what's the difference between them and old guys who have half a foot in the coffin?

Xu Dong's only hope at the moment is to entrust Hengxin to someone who is worthy of trust. His intuition tells him that the eldest son of the Lin family is not that person. As for Mr. Bai from Sirius Capital... he doesn't know if it's an illusion, but Xu Dong always feels that he is just an executor on the surface and not the real leader of Sirius.

As for whether Sirius will bring Hengxin a bright future, Xu Dong is even more confused and needs to listen more and ask more questions at today's hearing.

However, compared to Mr. Wang’s daughter, Xu Dong cared more about the... uh, young reporter she brought with her.

If Wang Yuni hadn't introduced him first, Xu Dong would have mistaken him for a famous and experienced reporter.

The fitted OL uniform, black stockings and high heels make the curves of her legs look graceful and mysterious. The SLR camera hanging on her chest has obvious signs of wear and tear.

The neat short hair and delicate facial features revealed a sharp intelligence, but the eyes were distracted and even a little cloudy. With his many years of experience as a factory director, Xu Dong actually saw a taste of world-weariness in those young eyes.
