Chapter 79 - The Old Man Leaves a Message!

Zhou Yu’s remarks instantly caused Lin Chaodong’s expression to become peculiar.

He stared at Zhou Yu deeply.

“Xiaoyu, I didn’t expect you to ask this question so quickly,” he said.

This time, it was Zhou Yu who was stunned.

“Grandpa Lin, did you already know I would ask this question?”

Lin Chaodong gave a wry smile and nodded, “That’s right.”

“However, to be precise, it was Big Brother who knew long ago that you would ask this question.”

Big Brother?

What does this have to do with Big Brother?

Zhou Yu was puzzled.

Lin Chaodong slowly explained.

“Big Brother told me twenty years ago that if you ever asked about the Lin Family’s origins, he instructed me not to explain anything, but instead to give you something.”

After speaking, Lin Chaodong stood up and retrieved a letter from the safe behind him.

“This letter has been in my possession for over twenty years, and it has never been opened.”

Lin Chaodong handed the letter to Zhou Yu.

As he took the letter, Zhou Yu keenly sensed the unique mark left by Big Brother on the envelope.

The mark was intact.

The letter had indeed never been opened.

He tore open the letter.

Inside, there was just a single sheet of paper with a few words written on it.

“Kid, don’t be so curious, just take good care of the Lin Family in Yancheng.”

These words were utterly in Big Brother’s tone.

However, Zhou Yu’s eyes revealed a profound look.

Thinking of the oath Big Brother had him swear, as well as the appearance of Luo Zhentian, who could be one of the Six Rebellions, Zhou Yu vaguely sensed that the Lin Family might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

After looking for a long while, Zhou Yu put away the letter.

“Grandpa Lin, is there anything else you need to tell me?”

Lin Chaodong shook his head with a smile, “No, you should know Big Brother’s capabilities better than I do; he has arranged everything well, so there is no need for me to do anything more.”

Zhou Yu nodded.

“Grandpa Lin, I understand.

I won’t disturb you any longer.

You should get some rest.”

Lin Chaodong nodded with a smile, “Alright.”

Zhou Yu got up, ready to leave.

Just as he reached the doorway, Lin Chaodong suddenly said, “By the way, Xiaoyu, how are things progressing between you and Luoluo?

When can I hold my great-grandson?”

Pfft!

Zhou Yu was embarrassed.

Lin Chaodong was as straightforward as ever.

Zhou Yu said with a wry smile, “It still requires some time.”

“Sigh, you really beat around the bush, don’t you?

You haven’t picked up a trace of Big Brother’s suaveness.”

Zhou Yu was mortified.

In this world, what kind of grandfather acts like this?

But upon thinking of Big Brother, Zhou Yu understood—birds of a feather flock together.

After awkwardly leaving Lin Chaodong’s study, Zhou Yu returned to his bedroom.

Lin Luoluo had already gone to sleep, so Zhou Yu headed straight to the balcony and sat down cross-legged.

Looking out the window, he began to ponder his next steps.

Big Brother had deliberately left a letter as a reminder; there must be deep significance to it.

Before understanding it fully, Zhou Yu decided to follow Big Brother’s instructions.

Therefore, his main task would be to protect the Lin Family.

But relying on himself alone would certainly not be enough.

Because he couldn’t possibly stay with the Lin Family around the clock.

Therefore, he needed to secure enough umbrellas of protection for the Lin Family.

In fact, over the past half-month, he had already been doing just that, whether intentionally or otherwise.

The Zhao Family, the Eastern Group, even Li He—these individuals would all become protectors of the Lin Family in the future.

But Big Brother having left the letter twenty years ago suggested that the Lin Family could face greater crises in the future.

Therefore, he needed to find even more umbrellas of protection for the Lin Family.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu arrived at the company.

Once he reached Construction Department Four, Zheng Qiu and Wang Miao were already there.

Upon seeing him, Wang Miao stuck out her tongue in a sympathetic manner.

“Brother Yu, you’ve got really bad luck.”

“Hm?

What happened?”

“Let our Brother Qiu tell you the bad news,” said Wang Miao.

Zheng Qiu glared at Wang Miao and was wondering how to break the news when Qi Fei walked in.

Zheng Qiu quickly said, “Qi Fei’s arrival is timely; let him tell you.”

Qi Fei was taken aback.

“Tell him what?”

Wang Miao said with a mischievous smile, “Of course, you have to tell him about the decision Miss Lin made in Construction Department Four yesterday.”

Qi Fei then caught on.

“You mean the salary deduction?

You haven’t told Zhou Yu?”

“What???”

Zhou Yu’s voice suddenly went up eight octaves.

“My salary’s been docked again?”

“Why?”

“Miss Lin conducted a spot check, and you weren’t there,” said Qi Fei with a sly grin.

“You know, before you came on board, Miss Lin hardly ever visited Construction Department Four, but since you’ve arrived, she’s conducted spot checks twice in half a month.”

“You two be careful too, don’t let Miss Lin catch you out.”

Zheng Qiu and Wang Miao said to each other with a laugh, “We don’t need you to tell us that; we come to the office an hour early and leave an hour after work every day.

There’s no way Miss Lin will catch us.”

Zhou Yu’s face darkened.

“How much did I lose this time?”

“30%!” said Qi Fei with a smile.

“Adding to the previous 30%, congratulations, your salary this month is down to 40%, which is 1400 yuan.”

Zhou Yu looked speechless.

Ugh!

So tough.

Qi Fei gloated, “Why don’t you talk to Miss Lin?

With your relationship, she shouldn’t make things difficult for you, right?”

The way Qi Fei said “relationship” carried a weird emphasis.

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows.

“What are you doing in Construction Department Four?

Are you here to mock me?”

Qi Fei sighed.

“Of course not.”

“It’s just that Miss Lin assigned me to recruit a new head of the engineering department, and I have a headache over it.”

“The head of the engineering department is a core position in the company, especially after what happened with Yang Hao.

It’s very sensitive now, and I must find someone Miss Lin can trust.

But apart from you guys, where can I find someone Miss Lin can trust?”

“It’s driving me nuts.”

Qi Fei wore a bitter expression.

“How about it, Zhou Yu, would you be interested in taking the position?”
