After all, Lin Chuze's past actions speak for themselves. Who would dare to use someone who ruined their company? Even if Lin Chuze is a business genius, no one would dare to do something that could backfire on them at any time.
“Mr. Lin, since I have already made a promise to you, that promise naturally stands. If you are willing to come to our Lin Group.”
I would certainly welcome it, and as for the position and compensation, I am confident that Mr. Lin will be satisfied.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and stretched out her hand. Others were afraid of Lin Chuze, but Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't.
Although there is very little information about Lin Chuze in the original text, Lin Xiaoxiao still understands his character from the limited information available.
Although Lin Chuze's decisiveness and ruthlessness surprised her, Lin Chuze had a major weakness: his mother. Lin Chuze was a very filial son.
Now that Tianyu Real Estate has collapsed, and Lin Chuze's mother and Lin Baichuan have divorced, this is a blow to Mrs. Lin, who has always lived a life of luxury.
It would be difficult to adapt to life without money, and even for his mother's sake, Lin Chuze decided not to act recklessly.
Besides, another reason that made Lin Xiaoxiao decide to accept Lin Chuze was that Lin Chuze was a very principled person.
In Lin Chuze's world, he clearly distinguishes between gratitude and hatred, and now, in his most difficult time, Lin Xiaoxiao is willing to lend him a helping hand.
Based on this alone, Lin Chuze would absolutely not do anything detrimental to the Lin Group.
"Miss Lin, you trust me that much?" Lin Chuze's pupils contracted slightly, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.
Before Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, he was uneasy but also a little bit expectant. But when Lin Xiaoxiao said that she was willing to accept him...
Lin Chuze was somewhat surprised by the other party's lack of hesitation. To be honest, even if Lin Xiaoxiao had rejected him, Lin Chuze would not have been dissatisfied at all.
Regardless of what he did, the facts speak for themselves. Who would dare to hire someone who destroyed a family business? Yet Lin Xiaoxiao gave him this opportunity without any hesitation.
Isn't Lin Xiaoxiao afraid? Or is Lin Xiaoxiao confident that she can't cause any trouble in the Lin Group?
"Why wouldn't I trust you?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Chuze with some confusion. "Aren't we on the same side? You helped me deal with Lin Yu, and I'll take care of your basic needs. Isn't that what I should do?"
Besides, you're a business genius. I believe that with your joining us, the Lin Group will reach even greater heights.
Most importantly, with Lin Chuze joining the team, she could delegate many of her tasks to him, freeing herself up so she could spend more time with Tang Xue.
Lin Chuze remained silent for a moment, then said, "Since Miss Lin trusts me so much, I certainly won't let her down."
Lin Chuze is a businessman, and a very successful one at that, so he can tell whether a person is sincere or hypocritical.
“Then it’s settled. When is a convenient time for you, Mr. Lin?” Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and added, “If there’s anything Mr. Lin can help with right now, please don’t hesitate to ask. After all, we’ll be relying on you for many things in the future.”
"We can do it now." Lin Chuze wasn't one to hesitate or be indecisive. Now that things had been agreed upon, he wanted to get it done as soon as possible.
Regardless, he is really short of money right now. Even if he can endure it for a while, he doesn't want his mother to suffer with him.
At that time, he learned from Lin Xiaoxiao that his father had cheated on him and that he was preparing to hand over the company he had worked so hard to build to Lin Yu.
He was indeed very angry, so after confirming the truth of the matter, he did not hide anything from his mother but told her the truth.
He presented the evidence to the other party, because over the years, his mother had been a housewife at home and had never paid much attention to the company's affairs.
She gave off a gentle and weak impression, the kind of person who didn't want to cause trouble. At the time, Lin Chuze was a little troubled about how to persuade his mother to divorce Lin Baichuan.
But to his surprise, his mother, after learning about this, told him about her intention to get a divorce before he could even react.
After that, he ruined Tianyu Real Estate. Although he and his mother weren't exactly penniless, they didn't actually have much money together.
Therefore, Lin Chuze is quite eager to start working immediately.
“In that case, Mr. Lin, please come to the company with me now.” Lin Chuze wanted to settle down as soon as possible, and Lin Xiaoxiao also wanted to settle down as soon as possible, so the two hit it off immediately.
Lin Xiaoxiao first called her secretary and asked her to pass on the message that a board meeting was to be held.
When Lin Xiaoxiao brought Lin Chuze to the company, everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't waste any time and directly introduced Lin Chuze to everyone and assigned him a position.
"President Lin, none of us here are unfamiliar with this Mr. Lin, and we all know he is a talented person. But has President Lin forgotten what he has done?"
I disagree.
“I disagree, Mr. Lin. The company belongs to everyone. Your decision is far too risky.”
"I know that President Lin values Mr. Lin's abilities, but before valuing his abilities, we should value his character even more."
Lin Xiaoxiao played with her fingers, listening to the discussions below without rushing to speak. Only when no one was talking did Lin Xiaoxiao raise her eyelids, her gaze sweeping over everyone before slowly uttering a few words.
"Are you done talking? Then let's hear my opinion." Lin Xiaoxiao sank deeper into her chair.
“I understand the concerns of the board members, but Mr. Lin is able to build Tianyu Real Estate into a large company on his own.”
That alone proves his business acumen, and I think everyone would agree on that.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at everyone and, seeing that no one interrupted, continued, "What is the secret to our Lin Group becoming a giant in the industry? It's our ability to recruit talent without being bound by convention."
Since Mr. Lin is capable, why can't we tolerate him? As for the concerns you all have…
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned forward, supporting half of her face with one hand on the table, and gently tapped the table beneath her with the other hand.
The cold voice carried obvious sarcasm: "Tianyu Real Estate's bankruptcy is Mr. Lin's private matter. We're all people who have been in the business world for so many years."
Regarding the so-called feuds among wealthy families, I believe many people have personally experienced them. Isn't it a bit ridiculous to keep dwelling on this?
"President Lin..."
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyelids and looked at the person who spoke. "Does Director Li have any further insights?"
The girl's voice was cool and a faint smile appeared on her face, but the person called Director Li felt a chill in his heart.
The words that were about to come out were abruptly changed: "I agree with President Lin's opinion."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes. She liked people who knew how to be pragmatic.
"Mr. Lin, I still think..."
"Chairman Huang." Lin Xiaoxiao gave him a casual glance, silencing the rest of his words. "Does Chairman Huang think it's too easy to just lie at home and count money?"
Lin Xiaoxiao also disliked some of these people. They could have just stayed home and counted their money, but some of them just liked to cause trouble.
“President Lin, we’re doing this for the company’s own good.” One of the older men, who hadn’t spoken until now, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a serious expression.
Lin Xiaoxiao squinted at the other person, but couldn't remember who it was for a moment. After a moment of silence, she said indifferently, "Isn't the decision I made for the good of the company?"
Now that we've come this far, I'd like to ask you, board members, has I ever done anything that harms the company's interests?
If you can provide examples, then I can respect your opinions today. If not, I hope that all the directors will respect my decision.
Lin Xiaoxiao's words silenced everyone who had previously held opposing views.
Since Lin Xiaoxiao took over the Lin Group, just as she said, she has not done anything to harm the company's interests.
And every decision she made was the best proof that the company had reached new heights.
"If none of the board members have any other objections, then this matter is settled." Lin Xiaoxiao stood up after saying this; she really didn't want to argue with these people anymore.
Watching Lin Xiaoxiao's departing figure, the group looked at each other, but in the end, no one spoke up to stop her, and instead tacitly approved of Lin Xiaoxiao's decision.
“Mr. Lin, no, I should call you President Lin now.” Lin Xiaoxiao smiled at the man beside her. “I hope President Lin won’t make me regret my decision today.”
"I won't let the chairman down," Lin Chuze said earnestly, concealing the gratitude in his eyes.
"This is your advance payment." Lin Xiaoxiao handed a card to Lin Chuze. "Remember to come to work tomorrow."
"Thank you." Lin Chuze gripped the card in his hand, not bothering to refuse Lin Xiaoxiao's kindness.

Chapter 65
==================
After resolving Lin Chuze's matter, Lin Xiaoxiao was in such a good mood that she was practically bubbling with joy.
When Bai Bing saw Lin Xiaoxiao, she saw the other girl looking so happy that her tail was practically wagging in the air.
"What's wrong? Did something good happen to you? Why are you so happy?"
Bai Bing originally wanted to say, "Could it be that Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Xue's relationship has progressed?"
But the words caught in her throat, and she ultimately didn't say them. What if it wasn't true? If she asked, Lin Xiaoxiao's current happiness would probably burst like a bubble.
"I found a tool for the company, no, I found a talent." Lin Xiaoxiao was so happy that she blurted out the words "tool".
Once they realized this, they quickly changed their description.
"A tool?" Bai Bing raised an eyebrow. She was sure she hadn't misspoke; she had indeed heard the words "tool."
Lin Xiaoxiao touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, "I hired a president for the company."
The thought that her workload would be greatly reduced starting tomorrow made Lin Xiaoxiao unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Since transmigrating to this world, she has diligently fulfilled her duties as a company boss.
I'm afraid that if I make the wrong decision, the company will be ruined in her hands.
Before transmigrating, Lin Xiaoxiao was a corporate slave. Every day, besides going to work, she had no spare time to rest or relax.
At that time, Lin Xiaoxiao envied the successful people who appeared on TV the most.
It wasn't until after Lin Xiaoxiao transmigrated to this world and became the kind of person she envied the most that she realized this.
The successful people she admired didn't have it as easy as she imagined; they faced immense pressure, especially her, who sometimes had to work until after midnight.
But with Lin Chuze's help, it means that she won't need to do many things herself in the future.
She would then have more time to do what she wants, and just thinking about it makes me very happy.
"President?" Bai Bing was startled. The position of president is not one that just anyone can hold.
Lin Xiaoxiao had considered finding someone to share her workload before, but first of all, she couldn't get past the board of directors.
Those board members are all cunning and shrewd, and the position of president is highly coveted by many.
Everyone wanted to promote their own person to that position, so in the end, the matter was dropped.
Bai Bing is now quite curious about how Lin Xiaoxiao managed to persuade those stubborn old men.
