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

"Well, no, Brother Lin Yun is also very good!"

When Lin Xiangling praised, she expressed her true feelings, and her pair of sharp eyes sparkled on that cute little round face.

She already understood exactly what Lin Yun meant: the foundation's funding contract was a bottomless pit, and Lin Yun was advising her to avoid it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangling became a little nervous, swallowing her saliva and tentatively said: "But... for me, even if I am bound to the Lin Group, it is also good, I... according to my father's words, I should stay in Hua'an County to work, marry a decent family, and take care of my husband and children..."

"What kind of nonsense is this? Do you believe it just because your father says so?"

"…He is Dad after all."

Lin Xiangling stopped, lowered her head, and drew a short arc on the ground with her toes.

She felt a little embarrassed. Would he discover the little thoughts hidden in her words?

It was as if she was inducing Lin Yun to say words of support for her. However, as a bystander, what attitude would Lin Yun have towards her family affairs?

Lin Yun is her good friend, and Lin Xiangling firmly believes this at the moment. However, Lin Yun is also a very clear-headed and intelligent boy, and it is not like his style to mindlessly give advice on his friend's family affairs.

He should be more distant and cold.

But Lin Yun slapped his thigh and cursed: "Damn it, your father has lost his mind. It's a waste for you to stay there with your level."

"really?"

"To be honest, I know what your parents' work situation is like."

"Well……"

"Don't be so surprised. Although I'm not welcome at home, it's still easy for me to use my family's resources to find out the backgrounds of the people around me... It's not targeting you, it's just my habit."

"Yeah, I believe that Brother Lin Yun won't target me." Lin Xiangling's face flushed. She wasn't angry, but she suddenly realized what kind of people her bastard parents were. Lin Yun knew it very well, and she felt shy when she thought of it.

In terms of status, Lin Xiangling's parents were both old employees of a state-owned refinery, and they enjoyed good welfare benefits in their early years.

Later, probably because of Lin Xiangling's appearance, the company was restructured, salaries dropped, and benefits were reduced to a very meager level. Many colleagues took advantage of the period of rapid economic development and switched to foreign and private companies or went into business with their skilled business skills. Although they didn't do well, at least they had a way out.

Only her parents, seeing their salaries increasingly unable to cover their expenses, were unwilling to find another way out.

Later, the factory received almost no orders. Fortunately, the old employees had a policy guarantee and could retain a basic salary, so they almost didn't have to go to work.

The former workshop director became a middle-level manager in a foreign company and invited his old colleagues to work there... His father went, but was fired for drinking and fighting. Until now, he has been staying at home doing nothing, barely making ends meet with the two guaranteed salaries from him and Lin Xiangling's mother.

...In all, Lin Xiangling was not sure how many details Lin Yun knew.

Woohoo, I hope Lin Yun knows less... Of course, she is a completely different person from her father, but family disgrace is never suitable to be made public.

"I won't comment on them. Anyway, their lives are a mess. Do you agree with that? If that's the case, it's best not to listen to their advice. They don't even know how to play, so how can they guide children... There's no need to feel any psychological burden if you disobey them. There are many ways to repay your parents for giving birth to you. Ruining your own future to please them is the worst choice."

I didn’t expect Lin Yun’s criticism to be so profound and merciless... Lin Xiangling felt ashamed and excited. She was ashamed that her parents were belittled by Lin Yun as worthless... Of course, they were indeed worthless.

What’s exciting is that after listening to Lin Yun’s words, the last bit of psychological burden that I had when I hung up the phone last night disappeared without a trace.

"I understand." Lin Xiangling nodded, "Well, if I reject the Lin Group's contract..."

"Are you afraid that you'll miss this opportunity?" Lin Yun interrupted with a smile, "Are you afraid that this is the best opportunity in your life and you'll never encounter it again?"

"..."Brother Lin Yun, why are you so smart? You know everything...Lin Xiangling felt a little inexplicably resentful, but still nodded honestly.

Lin Yun frowned and said sternly, "Lin Xiangling!"

"Ah~" The little pig was startled.

"Remember, you have a bright future. If you are still tied down and blinded by the immediate interests, I will criticize you."

"Uuuuu~"

Just like putting a piece of cheese on top of instant noodles, it melts with the boiling soup, becomes sticky and soft, and blends into the noodles... Lin Xiangling felt that her heart was about to be melted by him. No wonder the two childhood sweethearts had such a good relationship with him. The strength hidden under the gentle appearance, it seemed that no difficulty could defeat his confidence...

If Lin Xiangling had grown up with him, she would definitely rely on him like two childhood sweethearts.

Although I didn’t get this kind of happiness, being able to meet Lin Yun at the age of eighteen is also another kind of happiness, isn’t it?

In order not to let this wonderful encounter go to waste, Lin Xiangling made a decision that she did not want to be a long-term worker in the Lin family... No, according to Lin Yun, that was contract labor!

Suddenly, Lin Xiangling thought again, Lin Yun said he wanted to start from scratch... Did he want to be independent from the Lin family and start his own company to make money?

Suddenly, she had another motivation to study, and she was determined to work under Lin Yun in the future, to help him solve his problems.

At the same time, Lin Yun was thinking about what to do next in the training of the little pigs.

Sirius is a thriving investment company, but it is not suitable for Lin Xiangling at this stage.

Her characteristic is that she is well-rounded and has strong talents in almost every aspect. Lin Yun has only seen such comprehensiveness in the male protagonist of his previous life.

This is certainly a good thing for Lin Yun, but if she wants to tap her potential, she needs to gain knowledge, hone her methodology, and improve her world view in a mature and large-scale system.

By analogy, leaders who can truly lead an organization to glory all, without exception, have sufficient grassroots experience.

Sirius’s management style is too eccentric. After all, Lin Yun is a reborn person.

Moreover, Sirius has not been involved in many important categories. Sirius is generally too lazy to touch those heavy assets that may take several years to pay back.

As for real estate, Lin Yun had been buying it continuously for many years with the help of a friend hiding in the dark, including land that would appreciate in value in the next few years... Those were just simple assets and could not serve the purpose of training the little pigs.

So Lin Yun plans to use the Lin Group to help the little pigs grow.

Of course, the contract will not be signed, but if there is a chance for an internship after graduating from high school, I believe the Lin family will be willing.

And because Lin Yun took the initiative to become the best friend of the little pig, it was difficult for the Lin family to win her over... When she had grown up enough and Sirius' domestic business was complete, they would recruit Lin Xiangling.

Isn’t it wonderful?

Just as Lin Yun was imagining the future, Lin Xiangling's cell phone suddenly rang with an annoying ringtone.

She shuddered suddenly.

dad……

Why are you calling again?

83. Caring for the little pig is a conditioned reflex (4000 words)

Everyone may have had a similar experience: you are hanging out with someone you have a vague crush on, and suddenly your parents call you. Even if your parents support you pursuing that person, your heart will still beat faster, your palms will sweat, your expression will become stiff, and your steps will become messy...

Lin Xiangling's situation was even worse: let alone supporting her in pursuing anyone, her father hardly ever supported her in anything. She didn't even know whether her father supported her living.

Fortunately, Lin Yun politely walked a few steps away to create some distance, giving her some space to breathe.

After answering the phone, there was silence for a while, and then my father's slightly hoarse and low voice sounded: "Daughter... Dad has something urgent, what are you doing?"

"What is it to you what I am doing?"

After a short pause, the father laughed awkwardly a few times, and his tone was rarely gentle: "Last night... Dad was wrong. Dad drank too much and accidentally scolded you..."

Lin Xiangling immediately became alert.

This guy actually learned to apologize?

Something was wrong, very wrong... Lin Xiangling knew very well that her father had a temper as stubborn as a donkey.

Getting this man to lower his "noble" head is even more difficult than for the men's national football team to win the World Cup.

She still remembered that when she was a child, the school collected information forms. Lin Xiangling relayed the teacher's instructions to her father word for word, but her father still filled it out incorrectly. She asked her father to correct it, but he was too lazy to do so. As a result, she took the form back and filled it out again because it did not meet the requirements. Her father was so angry that he scolded her.

In fact, this was relatively mild among the absurd things her father had done, but Lin Xiangling remembered it very clearly.

His abnormally gentle attitude definitely did not mean that this despicable father had turned over a new leaf, but that he had something to ask of his daughter.

Sure enough, after a few polite greetings, the father immediately showed his fangs: "My dear daughter, Daddy is short of money recently. You should be able to make a lot of money working in Beicang... Can you support Daddy a little?"

"..."

"Hello? Can you hear me? Is the signal bad where you are?"

I can hear it, but I don’t know what to say.

Thousands of words rushed to his throat, and finally condensed into an overly calm question: "Did you gamble again?"

“…Haha, that’s not really a bet.”

"How much did you lose?"

"No, not much..."

"Unless you can prove that you want to use the money for legitimate purposes, I won't give you a penny."

Lin Xiangling hung up the phone angrily.

After calming down, he returned to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had a nonchalant expression and didn't show any surprise, but based on Lin Xiangling's understanding of him, he probably knew everything...That was the Lin family's network of contacts, how could they not find out about his father's gambling addiction?

Lin Xiangling even suspected that in her father's eyes, raising her was also a gamble. If he raised a beautiful girl and married her off with a dowry, he would make a lot of money. So whenever she showed resistance to getting married early and wanted to study further, her father would get angry and embarrassed.

After all, Lin Xiangling might not give him the money she earned from work, but the betrothal gift would definitely go into his pocket.

The sudden episode made the originally warm gaming atmosphere a little dull.

Lin Yun could indeed guess what the situation was, but it was difficult to say too much... As for the relationship between the little pig and her parents, it was not convenient for Lin Yun to interfere too much. He could only help her when she couldn't solve the problem. The specific ideas depended on her herself... In a sense, dealing with this pair of extreme parents was also her experience.

When some serious financial companies recruit college graduates, they will ask about their emotional experiences during the interview, and complex emotional experiences will be a plus.

This may sound absurd, but at least if you can handle many boyfriends/girlfriends, it will be relatively easy to handle customers.

All careers can be divided into two categories. One is to mess with the material world, which includes everyone from farmers to scientists; the other is to mess with one's own kind, that is, to mess with others... However, under the modern scientific research system, the essential work of many so-called "scientists" has become to mess with others. For example, next to the laboratory where Yu Sheng works, the wife of an academician with the title of "associate senior researcher" is actually doing administration. If we want to find out what she has "researched" exactly, it should be topics like "how to make things difficult for doctoral students when they submit invoices for reimbursement in order to establish one's own prestige."

Never mind. Some things cannot be solved quickly. Lin Yun decided to use traditional arts to make the little pig happier.

Lin Yun is not naturally good at coaxing girls, but fortunately, with the experience accumulated by his two childhood sweethearts, Lin Yun roughly knows how to bring happiness to girls while maintaining the boundaries of friendship. The two childhood sweethearts are good examples. They are very happy around Lin Yun, and the relationship between the three of them is pure, harmonious and innocent.

How great.

Today in the art center, there are people setting up stalls in the corridors that are usually empty. Lin Yun squatted in front of a stall selling handicrafts.

"Does this look good?" Lin Yun picked up a fabric piggy banknote and handed it to Lin Xiangling.

Coincidentally, Lin Xiangling also fell in love with this at first sight. Her aesthetic taste inexplicably overlapped with Lin Yun's, which made her very happy. She took the wallet and looked at it over and over again, and suddenly remembered something.

Little sweet pig, this nickname was probably used by her two childhood sweethearts to tease her in the beginning. Now, the two childhood sweethearts have developed into her mentors and helpful friends, and this nickname no longer has a negative connotation, but Lin Xiangling is a little concerned about Lin Yun's opinion.

"Brother Lin Yun... well, that is, Brother Lin Yun thinks that my... figure..."

"what?"

"… Fat?"

"Of course not. Your height and weight ratio is in a very healthy range." Lin Yun warned, "Don't lose weight. You are fine the way you are now. When you lose weight, your brain cells lack nutrition and you will become stupid."

"Well!"

"It's better to be a little plump. I think Qianxi is quite envious of you."

"Eh...envious, of me?"

Lin Xiangling was stunned for a moment, looked down, and seemed to understand a little.

This, this, this, what is there to envy!

It’s inconvenient to buy clothes, and she envied Qianxi’s figure...

At this time, the stall owner obviously thought that the two were a couple, and he complimented them with his high EQ: "My dear lady, your boyfriend gave you a pig not because he dislikes your fatness. Just think about it, pigs are so cute! And raising pigs means your boyfriend is willing to support you..."

"..."

Lin Xiangling ran away quickly with the piggy bank wallet, forgetting to pay.

Lin Yun scanned the code and sighed: "Brother, you are really good at talking."

"Ah? Ah...you two, aren't you a couple?"

"No, and I didn't mean that."

“…Hahaha. Sorry.”

After catching up, Lin Yun felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

In late autumn, she wore a tight sweater that perfectly outlined her girlish curves. Coupled with her pure and innocent baby face, she was the kind of woman that countless men were willing to be obsessed with.

But in such a body lives a powerful soul, which grows tenaciously towards the sun even if it is born in a damp corner.

What a good girl! What would happen to her now if she hadn’t met him that day?

Maybe she will experience more twists and turns, but she will eventually bloom with her own brilliance. So when facing her two childhood sweethearts and Lin Xiangling, Lin Yun never thinks of himself as a savior. He just makes friends for self-protection, and then his intentions gradually twist into hoping that they will have a smooth life, and hoping that he, who does not have any great abilities, can live again and do his best to make this world a better place.

Turning the corner, a singer performing outdoors caught their attention.

The art center has reserved an open space for band enthusiasts to perform. Most of the time, it is young people who go to college nearby and sing folk songs. They sit there with their guitars in their arms and moan about nothing. They may be full of energy playing basketball in the morning, but in the afternoon they are shivering here like a patient in the late stage of cancer.
