Chapter 2 The youngest son of the chaebol family
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Lin Zhibai heard someone knocking on the door outside the bedroom, accompanied by a pleasant voice.
“Xiao Hei, open the door!”
Standing at the door was a lady wearing a pure white tight-fitting high-necked short-sleeved bottoming shirt and a high-waisted skirt of the same color. Her hair was spread over her shoulders in a slightly curly manner, and she had a bulging figure.
She is also Lin Zhibai’s sister.
Sister Lin Xi liked to call Lin Zhibai "Xiao Hei" since she was a child.
Later, Lin Zhibai’s brother and even his parents started to call him that too.
Although Lin Zhibai’s skin is fair, it is not dark at all.
Hearing his sister's voice, Lin Zhibai stood up and opened the door.
"Wow!"
The moment she opened the door, Lin Xi gently covered her mouth with her slender hand, her crystal-colored manicure sparkling, but she stared at Lin Zhibai with a somewhat stunned expression.
“Who are you, handsome guy?”
“Come in or not?” Lin Zhibai gestured to close the door.
Lin Xi pressed against the door and walked in with an unknown height of several centimeters, but her eyes never left Lin Zhibai's face.
“Where are your glasses?”
Lin Zhibai realized that he had taken off his glasses. After all, his vision had been restored by the system.
“No need.” Lin Zhibai said.
"How can you see your sister's beauty without glasses?" Lin Xi smiled like a flower, her eyes still fixed on Lin Zhibai, but she felt more and more surprised the more she looked at her.
strangeness.
Why didn’t you think that your brother looked so good after taking off his glasses before?
certainly.
Lin Zhibai’s appearance itself is extremely high—
Even Lin Xi, who has always been narcissistic, has to admit that his younger brother Lin Zhibai is the beauty ceiling of the entire Lin family. He has all the advantages of his parents.
But that was before.
Three years ago, Lin Zhibai suffered a head injury, and the sequelae left behind forced Lin Zhibai to rely on medicine to combat it, and he also suffered from vision problems.
In the past three years.
Lin Xi watched helplessly as Lin Zhibai's body became thinner and thinner, and the lenses on the bridge of his nose became thicker and thicker.
Not only has my temper become increasingly erratic, my overall temperament has become more and more melancholic, with a sickly and gloomy feeling. However, I can still maintain some energy when facing my family.
But it seems to have changed today.
Lin Zhibai took off the glasses he had worn for three years. Except that his skin was still pale and his figure was still thin, there seemed to be some indescribable changes in his body. Lin Xi could even faintly see his shadow before the injury.
"Is such that."
Lin Zhibai said calmly: "I'm in good health."
The secret of the system was destined to be undisclosed to his family, but Lin Zhibai had no intention of hiding his recovery.
"ah!"
Lin Xi’s expression changed, and then she screamed and ran downstairs, shouting as she walked:
"mom!"
Lin Zhibai smiled and shook his head.
At six o'clock in the evening, the nanny prepared the meal.
Lin Zhibai was sitting at the dining table, being stared at by his sister and mother, and he was too embarrassed to move his chopsticks.
“Is it really good?”
This is the thirteenth time my mother has asked this today.
Even if her son did take off his glasses and regained his vision, his condition was obviously different from before, and she still felt like he was dreaming.
Lin Zhibai muttered:
“I don’t know the specific reason, but I feel that my body is getting lighter and lighter recently. It wasn’t until my eyesight completely recovered today that I realized that my body had recovered...”
You have to lie about this.
Because his disease has been cured by the system, the only thing that cannot be revealed is this secret even to his family members. This has nothing to do with trust.
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Mom finally stopped asking and suddenly stood up and said, "I'm informing your brother and dad, but I haven't had time to tell them the good news yet!"
"Um."
Lin Zhibai nodded.
Mom took out her mobile phone and went to the yard to make a call.
Lin Xi looked at Lin Zhibai: "Although you have recovered, you still need to have a detailed physical examination. It is best to let the old man say hello. If he doesn't like our family, he will feel guilty for you."
Old man?
Lin Zhibai narrowed his eyes slightly, "For people like the old man, guilt is a very luxurious consumable. Since it is a consumable, it cannot be wasted easily. Only in this way, at the critical moment, can we win with one blow." kill."
“Poof!”
Lin Xixiao’s flowery appearance.
Lin Zhibai was puzzled by her smile: "What's wrong?"
Lin Xi smiled: "Do you know why I call you Xiao Hei?"
Lin Zhibai thought for a while: "Because of the meaning of my name?"
Knowing what is white and guarding what is black is the way of the world.
Clearly seeing through right and wrong and black and white, but pretending to be stupid.
This is "Knowing the white and guarding the black". His father gave Lin Zhibai this name because he hoped that he would be as wise as a fool, neither praise nor criticize the secular world, and be able to be extraordinary.
Lin Xi shook his head.
"Why do you know white and keep black? That's dad's official explanation. You should be lucky. At least he didn't name you based on my old saying that heaven and earth are unkind and that all things are like a cud dog. Although it's not impossible to be a cud dog, as for me calling you a cud dog." Xiaohei, I’m not asking you to keep your secrets, Chunchun is just because you’ve been a scheming person since you were a child, but I like your calculating look.”
Lin Zhibai: “…”
I always feel that Lin Xi is too narrow-minded on the inside.
Lin Xi has already started to eat, chewing slowly and with elegant and intellectual movements. Most of the time, this sister has very high requirements for her own appearance and appearance. Only in front of her younger brother will she show her unbridled and fierce side.
Halfway through the meal.
Mom has finished the phone call.
My mother’s full name is Wen Yu. She was born with a beautiful oval face. Except for some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, time has not left many traces on this woman’s face, but there is a bit of strange emotion between her eyebrows at this moment. :
“Tell me something.”
Wen Yu looked at the two siblings: "There is news from Xicheng Manor that your grandpa will celebrate his eightieth birthday next year, and our family will also go there."
“Tsk.”
Lin Xi’s smile disappeared, “It’s really rare that you invited our family.”
Lin Zhibai didn't speak, but when he heard the four words "Xicheng Manor", his eyes flashed with coldness.
The Lin family is a typical family business.
In layman’s terms, it is a large capital tycoon.
This family business was founded by Lin Zhibai's great-grandfather. It had a very gaudy name called "Myth Group" and started its early career in film and television dramas.
After the death of my great-grandfather, my grandfather Lin Zhaomu inherited the family business.
Lin Zhaomu is Lin Zhibai’s father, who can be called a business wizard in the industry.
He took over the Shinhwa Group at the age of 28. One month after taking office, he acquired an under-performing TV station and quickly turned the TV station around from losses to profits. Then he continued to extend Shinhwa's tentacles to various fields based on the group's fundamentals.
Music, film and television entertainment.
Media network publishing.
Operated by Shinhwa TV Station.
There are even theme parks.
Shinhwa Group, under the management of Lin Zhaomu, has become a huge entertainment empire.
If compared with Earth, Shinhwa Group can almost compete with Disney on Earth. Of course, the overall scale is not as large as Disney at its peak, and the group's industrial chain has not reached the level of completeness of Disney at its peak, but it still has tens of thousands of employees. many.
Lin Zhaomu has four sons and one daughter.
Father Lin Dong is grandpa’s fourth son.
It stands to reason that the old man is already old now and his energy is not as good as that of young people.
As the second generation of the Lin family, my father should now obediently take over some of Shinhwa Group's properties and participate in actual management, just like Lin Zhibai's uncles.
However.
Due to various reasons, my father and grandfather had deep conflicts.
At present, Lin Dong is just a TV drama director. Although he works in a company owned by the family, he is not involved in the actual management of any industry within the family.
“It’s the old man’s eightieth birthday after all.”
Mom glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Besides, he looks stern on the surface, but actually he still has feelings for you juniors."
"emotion?"
Lin Xi curled her lips and said: "Not to mention the third generation of the Lin family, the old man alone has four sons and one daughter. So many direct descendants can load a truck together. How much affection can be divided among each person? What's more, how can feelings be balanced? Because of that well-known reason, what his old man dislikes the most is our family, not to mention that I am not his granddaughter..."
“Lin Xi!”
Mom's face was ugly: "I have warned you more than once not to mention these things, especially when you go to Xicheng Manor, and you can't say anything you shouldn't say, otherwise I will skin you!"
“I’m not stupid.”
Lin Xi wiped his mouth slowly with a tissue: "After all, he is also the third generation in name of the Lin family. Who doesn't have some acting skills?"
Beside Lin Xi.
Lin Zhibai continued to immerse himself in his dinner and had no intention of participating in this topic. At worst, he would just go to the manor that he had not set foot in for three years to go through the motions.
Perhaps at this time.
Lin Zhibai's ears suddenly heard a system prompt: "Ding dong, the host has triggered the task."
next moment.
A few lines of subtitles appeared in front of my eyes.
[Task Name: Controversy of Inheritance]
fruits is a kind of war鈥� 】
【Task Note: This is a long-term task, and skill points will be provided according to the specific progress. 】
Lin Zhibai was stunned.
Fighting for the inheritance rights of Shinhwa Group?
Could the system have read my mind already?
“Do you accept the task?”
"accept!"
Lin Zhibai didn’t hesitate at all.
Eagles build nests in high places, and dragons play in deep waters. There are only two choices in life, either loneliness or mediocrity.
