If Lin Chuze had known about the threat earlier, he could have eliminated it beforehand.
"To put it bluntly, Miss Lin came to see me this time because she wanted to use me. I'm a little curious about where Miss Lin gets her confidence from."
Do you think that after I find out about this, I'll take action against my half-brother? Can't our family get along peacefully?
For some reason, Lin Chuze's expression improved somewhat compared to before. Lin Chuze wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to use him as a pawn.
Although he did care about his nominal older brother, that didn't mean he and that person could only be enemies.
"That's right, I was indeed using you." Lin Xiaoxiao admitted it quite readily. It was the truth, and besides, Lin Chuze wasn't stupid. Even if she said no, he might not believe her.
"You..." Lin Chuze probably didn't expect Lin Xiaoxiao to be so frank, and was stunned by her words. "Miss Lin is indeed frank."
Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged. "I originally wanted to use President Lin to deal with Lin Yu, and there's no denying that. Besides, President Lin isn't stupid, and I never intended to hide anything from him."
As for what President Lin just said, wanting to get along peacefully with Lin Yu. "A mocking glint flashed in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, "I really didn't expect that President Lin, who is so powerful in the business world, would have such a naive side."
If my memory serves me right, Tianyu Real Estate wasn't always called this, was it? So, Mr. Lin, why do you think your father changed the company's name?
Lin Chuze clenched his fists under his body. If he didn't quite understand before, he understood now when he heard Lin Yu's name.
"President Lin, although I do have the intention to take advantage of you, I will not force you or threaten you to do anything."
I'm just telling you the facts. Whether or not to do it is the choice of Mr. Lin. However, I would like to remind Mr. Lin that there are some people you shouldn't try to influence with so-called family ties.
Of course, if Mr. Lin is the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others, then today, Mr. Lin can pretend I didn't show up.
After saying this, Lin Xiao finished the last sip of coffee in her cup and reached for the transparent bag on the table.
Just as she was about to pick up the bag, another hand pressed it down with lightning speed.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, "President Lin, have you thought it through?"
"Please tell me everything you know, Miss Lin." Although Lin Chuze was very unhappy about being used by others, he was not a saint.
He's not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for the good of others, let alone this company, which he's poured so much effort into. How could he just stand by and watch his hard work be handed over to someone else?
If that's really the case, then Lin Chuze would rather destroy it than see his hard work fall into someone else's hands.
Lin Xiaoxiao sat down, poured herself another cup of coffee, and then said slowly, "Your father and mother got married because your father's company was about to go bankrupt back then."
Your mother was his only lifeline, so he abandoned his pregnant girlfriend and got together with your mother.
As far as your father is concerned, the person he likes has never been your mother. What he values is only your mother's usefulness. The person he truly likes is Lin Yu's mother.
"And all these years, your father never gave up searching for Lin Yu and his mother, but because she was abandoned by your father, Lin Yu's mother took Lin Yu and went far away."
At this point, Lin Xiaoxiao paused, then looked at Lin Chuze with a smile, "Do you think your father found them?"
"Probably not." Lin Chuze thought for a moment before shaking his head. He knew his father well; if his father had really found Lin Yu and his mother, he probably would have brought them home long ago.
After all, the company's power is currently in his father's hands. If his father really wants to take that mother and son home, he and his mother really can only watch helplessly.
Because if his father divorces his mother, the property they can obtain is very limited.
Previously, his mother still owned shares in the company, but later, all of her shares were transferred to his father's name.
As for him, he didn't own any shares in that company, but he didn't care about that at the time because he always felt that the company would eventually be handed over to him.
Whether or not he has shares is not important now, but it seems that his father had been planning to leave the company to Lin Yu for a long time, and he was just working for someone else.
Based on what Lin Xiaoxiao is saying now, Lin Chuze finally understands the deeper meaning behind some of his father's actions.
To be honest, Lin Chuze felt quite sad when he learned all this. After all, that was his father, the father he had loved and respected for more than 20 years.
But at this moment, he truly understood his true character, and realized that the person had been acting all along, never showing them even the slightest bit of emotion.
"That's right, your father hasn't found Lin Yu yet, but it's only a matter of time." Lin Yu has already appeared on the trending topics, and although she could find someone to intervene and slow down the time it takes for Lin Baichuan to find Lin Yu.
But this cannot completely solve the problem. Even if she can hinder the other party for a while, she cannot hinder them indefinitely. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Lin Baichuan finds Lin Yu.
Lin Chuze's originally serious and solemn face softened with a slight smile. "I have a question I'd like to ask Miss Lin."
"Ask away." Lin Xiaoxiao originally thought that Lin Chuze was going to ask about something related to Lin Yu or Lin Baichuan.
However, when Lin Xiaoxiao heard the question Lin Chuze asked, she was stunned. She really didn't expect that under such circumstances, the other party would ask a question that had nothing to do with what they were talking about.
"If I apply for a job at Miss Lin's company, I wonder if Miss Lin would take me in?" Lin Chuze asked with a smile and a particularly relaxed tone, as if he were joking.
But Lin Xiaoxiao saw the seriousness in the other person's eyes about the question, and she was truly shocked by Lin Chuze's question.
Is this because he's tired of being a boss and wants to experience the life of a corporate slave?
[Host, could it be that Lin Chuze's mind is a little muddled by these questions you've given him?] 099 also found Lin Chuze's questions rather strange.
A normal person, upon hearing this question, would be more concerned about whether he was his father's illegitimate son, but what about Lin Chuze? After the initial shock...
The fact that he's concerned about whether he can find a job elsewhere seems rather strange, doesn't it?
"That shouldn't be possible. His mental fortitude isn't that weak. He's a CEO, after all. He's been a powerful figure in the business world for so many years. There's no reason for him to be driven to a mental breakdown by something like this."
Although Lin Xiaoxiao also felt that Lin Chuze's question was a bit strange and had nothing to do with what they were discussing.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think that Lin Chuze had lost his mind because of her question.
"I don't quite understand what President Lin means by asking that question?" Since she couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do, she might as well just ask directly, since the person was right in front of her anyway.
"It doesn't mean anything special." Lin Chuze smiled. "If I can't make a living at home, I'll naturally have to find a job that can support me."
So, if I were to apply for a job at Ms. Lin's company, I wonder if Ms. Lin would be willing to give me such an opportunity?
Lin Chuze had a smile on his lips and a very serious expression. At least from his current behavior, he was not joking, but really wanted to know an answer.
Although she didn't quite understand why Lin Chuze had such an idea, Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and nodded, "With President Lin's business acumen, he can find his place anywhere, including our Lin Group."
Chapter 53
==================
"I take Miss Lin's words very seriously." Lin Chuze looked at Lin Xiaoxiao earnestly. "I hope Miss Lin won't dislike me when the time comes."
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, "President Lin is too kind. If President Lin is willing to come to Lin's Group, I would certainly be very happy to welcome him."
Lin Chuze's business acumen is well-known in the industry. If Lin Chuze were willing to work for the Lin Group, Lin Xiaoxiao would undoubtedly welcome him with great fanfare.
This is a real talent! Just look at Tianyu Real Estate now, and you'll know how amazing Lin Chuze is.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take Lin Chuze's words seriously. She thought that what Lin Chuze said to her was probably a joke. Who would give up their own company to work for someone else?
"Judging from Miss Lin's expression, she seems to distrust what I just said." Despite Lin Xiaoxiao's earnest response, Lin Chuze could still tell that she didn't take his words seriously.
"President Lin, please don't joke around. Although I also admire your abilities, can you really give up Tianyu Real Estate and come to our Lin Group?"
Lin Xiaoxiao tapped the table. "President Lin, let's get back to the main topic."
“Miss Lin, I’m not joking.” Lin Chuze sat up straight and said with utmost sincerity, “I really hope that Miss Lin can give me a chance.”
Looking at the serious-looking man opposite her, Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, "I'll say it again: if President Lin is willing to come to my Lin Group, I will naturally welcome him. This is my promise to President Lin."
"Thank you, Miss Lin." Lin Chuze relaxed and smiled.
"Can I ask why?" Lin Xiaoxiao was genuinely curious. If Lin Chuze wanted to work for the Lin Group, did that mean he didn't want to stay at Tianyu Real Estate anymore?
Lin Chuze smirked and said coldly, "Since he wants to leave Tianyu Real Estate to Lin Yu, then I'll make sure he gets nothing."
Lin Chuze's words were unusually cold. In that instant, Lin Xiaoxiao saw the ruthless decisiveness of a businessman in Lin Chuze.
She swallowed hard, then asked uncertainly, "Does Mr. Lin mean you want Tianyu Real Estate to go bankrupt?"
"Yes." Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chuze smiled, as if he had brought up a topic that made people particularly happy.
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned back and looked at the other party who was smiling and saying that he would bankrupt Tianyu Real Estate. Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill rise from her back.
In the storyline 099 gave her, the introduction of Lin Chuze was extremely limited, only saying that he had great business talent and that after Lin Yu returned to the Lin family, his fate was extremely tragic.
There's not much more to say, but now it seems that Lin Chuze, having navigated the business world for so many years, is a force to be reckoned with, both in terms of his methods and his boldness.
The fact that the other party wanted to bankrupt Tianyu Real Estate was truly beyond Lin Xiaoxiao's expectations. She never imagined that after learning about this, Lin Chuze's first reaction would not be to find a way to deal with Lin Yu, but to want to bankrupt Tianyu Real Estate.
Lin Xiaoxiao really couldn't understand the other party's thought process. Was he really willing to destroy the company that she had worked so hard to build?
[Host, you've really provoked Lin Chuze. This perfectly good kid has been driven to the point of wanting to destroy the company he's worked so hard to build.]
099 was also frightened by Lin Chuze's words. It felt that the other party must have been stimulated by Lin Xiaoxiao's words, otherwise, why would he have such thoughts?
"..."
Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless. She hadn't expected Lin Chuze to have such thoughts. Her goal was simply to make Lin Chuze deal with Lin Yu.
She didn't want him to go that far. This wasn't just targeting Lin Yu; it practically cut off his own escape route. She wouldn't take the blame for this.
"It's quite unexpected to see Miss Lin with such an expression." From the moment they met until now, Lin Xiaoxiao has maintained the initiative.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's surprised and incredulous expression made Lin Chuze feel much better.
Lin Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth. "President Lin, you really have guts." Indeed, you have guts. Knowing that Lin Baichuan would leave the company to Lin Yu, you wanted to destroy it. This kind of guts is not something that ordinary people can possess.
"Hehe!" Lin Chuze chuckled lightly, and said self-deprecatingly, "Miss Lin probably doesn't know, but I'm just an employee at Tianyu Real Estate."
I don't own any shares, and neither does my mother, so if he wants to leave this company to Lin Yu, I can't stop him.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow in surprise. This was truly unexpected. No wonder Lin Yu was able to acquire Tianyu Real Estate so easily.
So that's the reason. If Lin Baichuan had more power and wanted to leave the company to Lin Yu, Lin Chuze would really have had no choice but to watch helplessly. No wonder Lin Chuze made that decision.
"President Lin, I'm making this clear today: as long as you're willing to come, you'll have a place in the Lin Group."
After figuring out Lin Chuze's reasons for doing so, Lin Xiaoxiao naturally didn't hesitate to bring this very capable person under her command.
If Lin Chuze really comes to the Lin Group, it will make things much easier for Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Miss Lin's words are enough. I will handle the matter concerning Lin Yu as best I can, and I don't think I will disappoint Miss Lin."
Lin Chuze stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Please allow me to take my leave first."
"Take care." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded to the other party, but did not intend to leave with Lin Chuze. Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiao did not see the icy cold eyes that could freeze people's hearts the moment Lin Chuze turned to leave.
【Host, do you really think this Lin Chuze is trustworthy?】099 always felt that this Lin Chuze was quite scary. His determination to directly destroy the company in order not to let Lin Yu get away with it was really unsettling, no, it made the whole system uneasy.
"Whether we can trust him or not is not important. What's important is that we know he's a ruthless person. At least this Lin Chuze isn't some cannon fodder who gets killed before he even gets a chance to show his skills."
With our intervention this time, Lin Yu's days ahead are probably going to be tough.
Lin Xiaoxiao was quite happy. Although Lin Chuze's ideas were somewhat different from hers, the more ruthless Lin Chuze was, the worse Lin Yu's future would be.
