After Xu Si left, Xia He came out.
She sat on the sofa, and Xia He looked at Lin Shen with a complicated expression.
Xia He said to Lin Shen, "Lin Shen, do you know that yesterday was actually my birthday? Aren't I pitiful? No one even celebrated my birthday with me."
Lin Shen chuckled and said, "Then do you know why my dad is coming back tomorrow?"
Xia He asked, "Why?"
Lin took a deep breath and said to Xia He, "Because yesterday was also my birthday. No one was with me on my birthday. My mother only gave me some money, but what I want is not money, but their company!"
Xia He: "......."
Are you sure this isn't Versailles?
Lin Shen said, "I swear to God, this is definitely not Versailles!"
"However, you gave me the best birthday present."
Lin Shen and Xia He exchanged a smile.
Xia He hesitated before saying, "You were... quite strong yesterday."
Lin Shen: "???"
"how do you know?"
Xia He rolled her eyes at Lin Shen and said speechlessly, "What are you thinking? I said you're my first man, so you're the first. I may not have seen pork, but I've seen pigs run, right?"
Lin Shen secretly felt smug.
This is thanks to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; whenever Lin Shen is "weak," he gives himself a little electric shock therapy...
Then, it can become powerful again!
Xia He asked Lin Shen, "Since your dad is coming back tomorrow, do I need to leave?"
Lin Shen shook his head. "No need. My dad isn't against Quanxing."
Xia He felt a little uneasy.
After all, Lin Shen's father is Lin Yuliang!
........
The next morning, Lin Shen and Xia He were lying in bed, but Lin Shen hadn't gotten up yet.
He could actually hear the sound of a door being unlocked.
Lin Shen covered Xia He with the blanket, then walked out of the bedroom and saw Lin Yuliang just coming in and changing his shoes. Lin Shen said, "Dad, you're back..."
Lin Yuliang nodded and said to Lin Shen, "Xiao Shen, I'm sorry I didn't have time to come back for your birthday yesterday, but I brought you a gift."
Lin Yuliang took out an admission notice from his briefcase; it was an admission notice from Tsinghua University.
Lin Yuliang said to Lin Shen, "So, Shen, do you like this gift?"
"This is the most prestigious university in China."
I slept at home for three days during the college entrance exam, and you brought me an admission letter from Tsinghua University?
Lin Shen said to Lin Yuliang, "Dad, I slept for three days during the college entrance exam. Where did you get my acceptance letter from?"
Lin Yuliang coughed once, "Ahem, that's not important. What's important is, do you like it?"
Lin Shen nodded. "I like it."
Lin Yuliang said with a smile, "I'm glad you like it."
Just as Lin Yuliang was about to order a birthday cake for Lin Shen, the doorbell rang.
"Ring ring ring..."
Lin Yuliang's demeanor changed instantly; his amiable nature transformed into a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.
Lin Yuliang lost. "Who was it?"
"It's me, Zhao Fangxu, Chairman of Nadutong!"
Lin Yuliang thought for a long time before Zhao Fangxu's image appeared in his mind.
Lin Yuliang sat down on the sofa and said to Lin Shen, "Xiao Shen, go open the door."
Lin Shen opened the door and saw an old man with a full head of white hair and a kind smile.
Behind Zhao Fangxu was Xu Si.
Zhao Fangxu, holding a box, said to Lin Yuliang, "Boss, please don't refuse. This is a specialty from my hometown, mooncakes with lentil filling. I brought them for you to try."
Lin Yuliang frowned and said to Zhao Fangxu, "Old Zhao, what brings you here? I don't remember saying I was going home today."
Zhao Fangxu said awkwardly, "Yesterday, Xiao Xu from our company had a little friction with Young Master Lin. We learned from Young Master Lin that the boss is coming back today, so we came to visit him."
Lin Yuliang said, "Little Xu? Xu Xiang's son?"
Zhao Fangxu nodded. "Yes, yes, that's him. You still remember Xu Xiang, right?"
Lin Yuliang said with a smile, "Haha, back then, when I had just started working, you recommended Xu Xiang to the organization, so I remember it vividly. Old Zhao, you've done a good job these years. You're quite stable in the circle of supernatural beings."
"Old Zhao, have a seat."
After Zhao Fangxu sat down, Lin Shen made a cup of tea for Zhao Fangxu and Xu Si.
Zhao Fangxu said, "I still need to thank the leaders for their trust and cultivation."
Lin Shen watched this scene and felt very strange.
Zhao Fangxu is an elderly man, while his father, Lin Yuliang, is only middle-aged. Yet Zhao Fangxu addresses his father as "leader" repeatedly.
As the chairman of Nadutong Company, Zhao Fangxu was so obsequious that Lin Shen sighed in dismay.
"That's the benefit of power."
"Presumably, Lin Yuliang's acceptance letter from Tsinghua University was also a small act of arbitrariness in exercising his power."
Zhao Fangxu chatted with Lin Yuliang for a while, and all he said were compliments.
Zhao Fangxu glanced at his watch and said to Lin Yuliang, "Boss, it's getting late. We won't disturb you and Young Master Lin any longer. We'll be leaving now."
Lin Yuliang said, "Old Zhao, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you really need to come all this way to deal with a conflict between the younger generation? Take your gifts back."
Zhao Fangxu still wanted to try.
Lin Yuliang's tone suddenly turned serious, "I said, take your things away. What kind of behavior is this if others see them!"
Zhao Fangxu quickly replied, "Yes, yes, leader, it was my oversight."
"Xu Si, let's take the local specialties with us."
.........
After Zhao Fangxu and Xu Si left.
Lin Yuliang relaxed a bit. He rubbed his temples and said to Lin Shen, "Shen, listen to me. After you finish university, take the civil service exam and stay in Beijing. That way you'll be close to me. Your mother and I don't expect you to be rich and powerful. We just hope you'll be safe and happy. In a few years, you can marry Ren and live a peaceful life."
As Lin Shen listened to his father's plans for him, a life that everyone dreamed of, Lin Shen didn't think that way anymore.
Because Lin Shen now possesses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Lin Shen said to Lin Yuliang, "Dad, actually... I don't want to go to university anymore."
Lin Yuliang frowned. "Then what do you want to do?"
Lin Shen said, "I want to enter the world of supernatural beings and make a name for myself there!"
.........
.........
Chapter 6 If you didn't have the ability, I wouldn't have promoted you, right?
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuliang was immediately enraged.
He stood up abruptly.
The authority of the person in a superior position made Lin Shen somewhat intimidated.
Lin Yuliang practically shouted at Lin Shen, "No! You want to join the circle of supernatural beings? No way!"
"In China today, those in power are still ordinary people!"
"In the world of supernatural beings, Zhang Zhiwei of Longhu Mountain is probably at the pinnacle, but even he has to cooperate with the comrades from the Culture and Tourism Bureau!"
"Why are you so desperate to join the circle of supernatural beings?"
"Besides, you're just an ordinary person, what are you doing getting involved in the supernatural community!"
Lin Shen was silent for a moment, then said to Lin Yuliang, "Father, you always say that Zhang Zhiwei has to cooperate with the comrades from the Culture and Tourism Bureau, but what if Zhang Zhiwei doesn't want to cooperate? What can you do then?"
Lin Yuliang remained silent.
If a country truly wants to deal with an extraordinary person like Zhang Zhiwei, it would have to deploy the army, or even use weapons of mass destruction.
However, Zhang Zhiwei is still in China, so it's impossible to use such a weapon of mass destruction against him.
Therefore, Lin Yuliang remained silent.
Lin Shen continued, "Furthermore, Father, I am not an ordinary person."
Lin Shen snapped his fingers, and the next moment a golden arc of electricity appeared in his palm.
Lin Shen said, "Dad, I am now a naturally gifted person."
Lin Yuliang scoffed at the electric arc in Lin Shen's palm, "Little Shen, is that static electricity?"
The next moment, the golden arcs of electricity in Lin Shen's hand coalesced into a golden spear.
Lin Shen said to Lin Yuliang, "Father, what about now?"
Lin Yuliang was startled by the lightning spear in Lin Shen's palm.
Lin Yuliang finally relented, "Xiao Shen, are you sure you want to join the world of supernatural beings?"
Lin Shen nodded.
Lin Yuliang said, "I have some connections in the world of supernatural beings. Whether you want to join the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wudang Mountain, or even the company, I can arrange it for you."
