Chapter 180 No matter how big the world is, there is only one home
After Lin Yi returned home, Lin Guoqing called all the Lin family members together for dinner. This time, Lin Yi did not directly explain to his parents, but only said that he had made a lot of money.
At the dinner, Ms. Yu Xiujuan asked Lin Yi's cousin Cheng Zihui to help find a house worth about 5 million. The two chatted on this topic for a long time.
Aunt Lin Guofang also asked Cheng Zihui to give up his agency commission and give it to them from the house price, but Lin Yi refused.
It is a sign of affection between relatives to be willing to help each other. It would be a bit unjust if you don't even give them what they deserve and let others work in vain.
Maybe it was because Lin Yi had been promoted to "the most profitable person in the Lin family". This status greatly improved his family status, and in the end, his aunt no longer insisted on it.
During this period, Lin Yi also rarely asked his uncle Cheng Shengli about many things about the taxi industry, which was a bit strange to others.
Lin Yi didn't explain much, but finally announced: "Mom and Dad, can you please take a few days off and I will take you around the capital?"
He didn't just do it on the spur of the moment, he had thought about it in advance, because with Lin's parents' personalities, apart from this house, they probably wouldn't spend the money he gave them.
There is a saying that "If a person cannot afford a Lamborghini when he is born, it is a pity that he may never own one in his lifetime."
What this means is that even if the average person is lucky enough to be able to afford a Lamborghini, unless they become rich at a young age, they will not spend money in this way when they reach a successful age.
Human consumption habits are deeply ingrained.
Lin Yi brought it up on this occasion hoping that others would follow suit. As expected, Lin Guoqing subconsciously wanted to refuse. His aunt Lin Guofang said:
"It's National Day. Now that Lin Yi has the ability to make money, it's time for you to enjoy your happiness. I know you wanted to go to the capital when you were young."
Yu Xiujuan also said: "You went there last time to see Lin Yi off to school. I have never been to the capital in my life, so just treat it as accompanying me."
Only then did Lin Guoqing agree.
Lin Yi was very efficient. He arranged air tickets and hotels on the spot, and they flew from Xiaoshan Airport to Beijing a day or two later.
But this time I also brought a little follower, my cousin Lin Xiaoqian.
The aunt and uncle both had to go to work, and my cousin Cheng Zihui also went to work, and he was actively looking for housing, so only Lin Xiaoqian, a high school student who was on summer vacation, followed them.
Lin Yi didn't arrange for them to stay in any magnificent five-star hotel. He was afraid that his parents would scold him for spending money and extravagantly. He just chose an ordinary hotel with a good reputation and environment.
Of course he would not take Lin's parents to places like Nanluoguxiang. Instead, he would visit scenic spots such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in the next few days.
According to Lin's father's wish, they got up early to catch the flag raising in the square and laid flowers at the Great Memorial Hall.
Lin Guoqing and Yu Xiujuan rarely travel. This time, Lin Yi took many photos for them. Although their skills were poor, they did not dislike them. Instead, they were always in high spirits.
It wasn't until the morning of the last day when they were discussing the itinerary that Lin's father and Lin's mother proposed to visit Jingdian where he went to school.
The hotel is not far from the school, but he glanced at his cousin and said, "Didn't uncle say that Xiaoqian must go to T University and P University to see it? It can help her get better luck in the exam."
Lin Xiaoqian rolled her eyes on the spot: "Don't listen to my dad's nonsense. I didn't even pass the interim high school entrance exam during the high school entrance examination. How can I get into T University or P University during the college entrance examination?"
"Brother, it's great to go to your school. I want to see it too."
Okay, since this was the case, Lin Yi had no objection and took them to Jingdian's campus.
Jingdian was actually quite small, and there was nothing special about it, but Lin’s parents still watched it with gusto and kept asking about the details of his life here, while Lin Xiaoqian was mainly interested in his college life.
In fact, Lin Yi has never lived a normal campus life in his life because of his entrepreneurial career. He can only talk about it reluctantly using his experience in his previous life.
They also followed Lin Yi to his dormitory to have a look. Among the three, only Lin Guoqing had been there once, but there was still a big difference between when someone lived there and when no one lived there.
After walking around for a while, when it was time to eat, Ms. Yu Xiujuan unexpectedly said: "Didn't you say that the classmates who started your business with you are also in school? Why don't you invite them out to have a meal together? It's just a good time for us to meet you.
good friend."
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no reason to refuse, so he said, "Let me ask."
Soon, the four of them met Li Moyan, who came alone at the school's international student restaurant.
Both Lin's parents were surprised, but they still greeted her cordially. After sitting down, they looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Didn't you say that you have a roommate to start a business with you?"
Lin Yi replied: "Jianguo has already gone abroad."
He told the story about Li Jianguo's breakup with his girlfriend because he was busy starting a business, and how he decided to go abroad to pursue love after selling his business. His senior sister confirmed on the side.
Ms. Yu Xiujuan was obviously not very interested in this matter, but Lin Guoqing, like Lin Yi, naturally thought of something.
Although both of them had their doubts, they still finished the casual meal politely and thoughtfully, without anything unusual happening during the process.
The senior sister also spoke relatively little. She only went to the appointment out of respect for her elders, and she left quickly after it was over.
On the way back to the hotel, Lin Xiaoqian asked in a low voice: "Brother, that sister just now was so beautiful. What is your relationship with her?"
Lin Yi replied: "Didn't I tell you? My roommate's cousin, my fellow college senior, and my current entrepreneurial partner."
Lin Xiaoqian glanced at him suspiciously. She was a high school student after all, and her cousin had made a lot of money now and wasn't as close as she was when she was a child, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.
Children all have this kind of speculation, and parents certainly won’t remain silent.
After arriving at the hotel, Lin Xiaoqian went back to the room first, while Ms. Yu Xiujuan slipped Lin Yiti over and asked bluntly after entering the door:
"Your roommate has gone abroad, and now you and his cousin are the only two left. Why didn't you tell us about this before?"
Lin Yi looked calm: "This happened not long ago."
Yu Xiujuan did not hesitate: "Then why didn't you say before that your so-called senior sister is so beautiful?"
She originally thought that Gu Caiwei was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life, but she didn't expect that her son's partner was as good-looking as any!
"You haven't asked me before. Besides, being beautiful isn't a flaw worth being afraid of, right? You make it sound like we have something to be ashamed of."
Yu Xiujuan was speechless for a moment, and Lin Yi continued to explain: "Mom, I understand what you mean, but my senior sister and I are just like-minded partners who start a business together. There is no reason why we can't continue to cooperate after Jianguo goes abroad, right?
"
There was nothing wrong with this. Ms. Yu Xiujuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Guoqing. He spoke slowly:
"Lin Yi, your mother and I believe in you, but you don't want us to believe this matter. I hope you and Xiao Gu can handle it well."
"Tomorrow, your mother and I are going back to Lin'an. We had a great time in the capital this time, but it's just that it took too long."
"Lin Yi, I hope you remember that no matter how big the world is, we only have one home."
