Chapter 137 - 126: Whose Subordinate Is This?

Chapter 137: Chapter 126: Whose Subordinate Is This?

’Gao Yuan is only a few years older than him, but he’s already making deals in the hundreds of millions?’

Lin Sida was envious.

Even though he was Lin Hongnian’s son, any expense over 500,000 required his father’s personal signature. And if his total monthly expenses surpassed two million, every single purchase had to be approved by Lin Hongnian.

In that moment, Lin Sida felt the urge to go start his own business.

Lin Hongnian fell silent, and Gao Yuan nonchalantly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

But Lin Wanyu didn’t care what they were thinking. Seeing that Lin Hongnian hadn’t responded to her, she stood up and sat right next to him.

"Old man, yes or no? Give me an answer. Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me."

Lin Hongnian, who had just taken a sip of tea, nearly choked. He turned and shot Lin Wanyu a glare.

Taking another drink of his tea and enjoying Lin Wanyu’s massage, Lin Hongnian pondered for a moment before saying:

"The Lin Group can still free up five million."

Lin Hongnian said this with extreme reluctance, but what could he do? She was his only daughter!

’Since she’s already chosen to be with Gao Yuan, I’ll just consider this five million a gift to dote on my daughter.’

Gao Yuan knew he couldn’t let this drag on any longer.

’Five million is already a lot!’

He immediately put on a stern face, looked at Lin Wanyu, and said, "Get back here. Stop making things difficult for Uncle Lin."

"What’s this about ten million!"

"Uncle Lin already said five million, so it’s five million. Don’t push your luck!"

It would have been better if Gao Yuan hadn’t said anything at all.

Lin Hongnian felt a pang in his heart.

’These two must have planned this. They’re here putting on a good cop, bad cop routine for me.’

He was about to spend five million and at least get a massage from his daughter for a while. But with a single word from Gao Yuan, a beaming Lin Wanyu sat back down next to Gao Yuan.

’This kid... he’s simply outrageous!’

At that moment, Lin Hongnian glanced at Lin Sida, who was sitting off to the side watching the show, and sighed deeply to himself.

After that, the atmosphere of their conversation became much more harmonious.

The Lin Group would waive Gao Yuan’s previous debt for the goods and provide him with an additional 5 million in financial support.

This capital wasn’t a loan to Gao Yuan; it was given to him directly.

Additionally, as Gao Yuan sent Lin Wanyu to the car to get the rest of the secret skincare formulas, he made another small request.

He wanted 100 sets of the manufactured skincare products.

Lin Hongnian agreed to Gao Yuan’s request without hesitation.

’He’d already given away ten million; what was a little more?’

To prevent Gao Yuan from making any more exorbitant demands, Lin Hongnian also stipulated that all future orders would have to follow standard business procedures.

Gao Yuan also owned 15% of the Lin Group’s shares, so if the Lin Group made money, he made money too.

However, while Lin Wanyu and Lin Sida were downstairs, Lin Hongnian asked a question that made Gao Yuan very uncomfortable.

"Are you also dating that young woman from the Li Family?"

Hearing Lin Hongnian ask this, Gao Yuan instantly understood that he must have also seen the trending topics online.

If anyone else had asked, Gao Yuan would have definitely given a vague, evasive answer. But since the person asking was Lin Wanyu’s father, all Gao Yuan could do was answer directly.

"Yes."

After answering, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and quietly waited for Lin Hongnian’s outburst.

But instead, he saw Lin Hongnian smile.

"What?"

"You thought I was going to get angry, didn’t you?"

This was the first time Lin Hongnian had ever seen a look of astonishment on Gao Yuan’s face. Until now, Gao Yuan had always acted far too mature in his presence.

It had once made him feel that Gao Yuan was too calculating and that his daughter might not have a good outcome being with him.

This time, Lin Hongnian was very satisfied with both Gao Yuan’s answer and his reaction.

"Wanyu’s feelings for you might be deeper than you think!"

Just as Lin Hongnian finished speaking, he saw Gao Yuan about to say something and held up a hand to stop him, continuing, "During the time you were back in your hometown, Wanyu told me everything about your relationship."

"At first, I couldn’t accept it. I couldn’t understand why you young people would choose to handle relationships this way."

"But every time I saw Wanyu, she was so much happier than before, so I slowly came to accept it."

At this point, Lin Hongnian’s gaze toward Gao Yuan grew much more serious.

"I hope you two have a child soon. Wanyu is getting older, and she needs an anchor."

After saying this, Lin Hongnian looked at Gao Yuan and fell silent.

He was waiting for Gao Yuan’s answer. If Gao Yuan was unwilling, then they could only be business partners from then on. He would definitely not allow his daughter to continue being with Gao Yuan.

’Right now, they can live on love alone. This is passion, and everyone is happy when they’re passionate.’

’But what about the future?’

’Gao Yuan has two women now. Will there be more later on?’

’But if there’s a child, my daughter will at least have an anchor in the future, someone to rely on.’

’Even if Gao Yuan has a few more women later, he won’t go too far.’

"Okay."

Gao Yuan simply said one word.

’He really wanted to say, ’The reason I have two women right now is all thanks to your daughter.’’

’Gao Yuan knew very well in his heart that he liked Lin Wanyu, and that he loved her.’

’He had considered the matter of having a child, but he had always thought of letting nature take its course.’

Gao Yuan had just answered Lin Hongnian when Lin Wanyu returned with the documents.

After handing the documents to Lin Hongnian, the two of them didn’t stay at the Lin Group for much longer. Before leaving, he made a point to arrange for the remaining 100,000 boxes from their order to be picked up.

’Since Lin Hongnian had already agreed to waive the payment, why leave the goods at the Lin Group? Who knew, after a while, if Elder Lin saw how booming his business was, he might just go back on his word.’
