Chapter 44 Brother Lin is Indeed Extraordinary
"What? He really got recognized??"
The news from his dad startled Lin Yi. He didn't expect that his dad had barely taken it away when someone recognized it. Moreover, the price offered was quite reasonable, similar to what he found online last night.
"Phew! Don't tell me the tea leaves are really worth that much money!"
Hearing what his son blurted out, Father Lin immediately understood. It seemed these tea leaves were indeed worth that much. For a moment, he was at a loss for words!
"Uh, more or less. But it's for you to drink, so handle it as you see fit."
Upon hearing this, the first thing Father Lin thought of was that his wife actually used tea leaves worth millions to boil tea eggs that morning!
"Don't ever tell your mom about this!"
However, the microphone was not quiet at all. Although Empress Dowager Ye hadn't fully grasped the earlier part of the conversation, she heard this sentence clearly. She immediately grabbed the phone from next to her and sneered at Father Lin on the other end:
"Hehe, Lin Jianguo, you've got some nerve! Still dare to hide things from me? I really want to know what you think I shouldn't know!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but slap his forehead. But, just as his dad said, it was best not to let his mom know about this.
So, Lin Yi's mind raced, and before his dad could speak, he quickly raised his hands in surrender:
"Mom, this has nothing to do with me! I've confessed everything and ask for leniency! Lao Lin hid private funds in his pair of shoes and told me to take it out secretly to avoid being discovered by you!"
After saying this, Lin Yi stood up and walked towards the bedroom door, speaking as he went:
"You wait, mom, I'll get it for you now!"
Hearing her son's words, Empress Dowager Ye was initially stunned. Then she said viciously into the phone, "Wait till I get to you," and directly hung up the phone, following him outside.
She quickly ran to the shoe cabinet at the door, reached into her pocket for a couple of hundred-yuan bills, and bent down to grab her dad's shoes.
Pinching her nose, she stuffed the money under the insole of his dad's shoes, muttering, "Amitabha Buddha, better you than me!"
Based on her understanding of Empress Dowager Ye, if she found out about the tea egg incident, she'd definitely go berserk. But after the breakdown, Lin Yi was sure he wouldn't escape a beating either.
He had no choice; "hit the son every now and then" had become a traditional virtue in the Lin Family...
Just as the money was stuffed in, Empress Dowager Ye had already walked over. Seeing her son pinching his nose and just about to stand up, she directly snatched the shoe from Lin Yi's hand. Then she frowned, lifted the insole, and immediately saw the red banknotes.
"Oh, Lin Jianguo, how dare you hide private funds from me! Just wait till you come back and see how I deal with you!"
"Yes, indeed, Comrade Lin must be dealt with. How dare he hide private funds from our lovely Xiao Er? Tonight, he'll have to sleep on the floor!"
Smack!
In the midst of his indignation, Lin Yi suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. The next moment, he heard Empress Dowager Ye scold sarcastically:
"Who said you could talk? Hurry up and do your exams!"
'Oh, what did I say? Hit the son every now and then, sigh...' Lin Yi sighed in his heart, rubbed the back of his head, answered, and prepared to return to the room.
But just as he turned around, Empress Dowager Ye called him back again. Confused, he turned around to see her handing his dad's shoe to him casually:
"Here, as a reward for your report, the money in here is yours now."
Lin Yi: "Uh..."
Meanwhile, Father Lin, hearing the dial tone from his phone, couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
But the call just now had already informed him that the tea leaves were worth 3.5 million per ounce!
But should he sell them? After all, they were bought by his son to honor him.
With a bit of helplessness, Father Lin walked into the office with a frown.
The three people inside the office were still chatting, and when they saw Father Lin enter, they all stopped talking and looked over at him.
After Father Lin sat down, he smiled wryly at everyone and said:
"Heh, it's already confirmed. These tea leaves are not from the bucket I bought. My son secretly bought them for me."
Upon hearing this, Boss Zhuang laughed heartily and said,
"Hahaha, looks like you've got a good son! At least he's way better than my useless sons!"
Through the tea swap thing, everyone present could confirm that Old Lin's son was definitely a filial child.
After hearing this, Father Lin also felt a warmth in his heart. It was undeniable that although his son was a bit mischievous, there was certainly nothing wrong with his filial piety.
However, in the face of everyone's praise, he couldn't continue praising his own son. After all, it's a habit in the country:
"Oh, he's filial all right, but this brat just spent five million he earned the day before yesterday to buy me these tea leaves..."
Hearing this, Boss Zhuang and Elder Wang didn't think much of it, only assuming that Old Lin's son was a merchant. But Chen Tianpeng couldn't help but wonder:
"Earned five million?? Isn't Xiao Lin still in high school?"
This piqued everyone's interest. A high school student capable of earning five million! What kind of student was that?
Suddenly, Boss Zhuang and Elder Wang were both stunned. They exchanged glances and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Earning five million the day before yesterday, still being a high school student, and Old Lin's son was surely surnamed Lin, too. With so many coincidences together, the two instantly thought of one person.
"Mr. Lin, if I may ask, is your son's name Lin Yi?"
Hearing this, Father Lin was stunned for a moment and looked at Boss Zhuang with a puzzled expression:
"Chairman Zhuang, do you know my son?"
"Haha, so it really is Brother Lin Yi! Haha, I really didn't expect it. I just did a deal with Brother Lin Yi the day before yesterday, and today I meet you. This is a truly unique fate. Let me reintroduce myself, Zhuang Yan. Considering the age, I should be younger than you, so let me call you Brother Lin from now on."
Upon hearing that it really was Lin Yi's father, Zhuang Yan immediately smiled and extended his hand for a reintroduction.
This scene left Chen Tianpeng envious. After all, President Zhuang's status was incredibly distinguished; even his attitude towards himself was always lukewarm!
Of course, it also showed that Lin Jianguo's son had an extraordinary relationship with this President Zhuang!
As Chen Tianpeng thought this, Zhuang Yan was also pondering on that side.
It seemed that his last decision was correct, as Lin Yi was indeed exceptional—not only with Yuan Qinghua Porcelain but even the tea he casually gifted his dad was the top-grade Imperial Qian Longjing Tea worth huge amounts...
