Chapter 67 The Child Grows Up
Shen Xingye looked at Shen Lin with some surprise. His youngest son's performance today had already shocked him, but he didn't expect that he could give him such a surprise in the end.
Even Shen Xingye himself didn't know how to get these neighbors who were watching the fun to leave.
He had lost enough face that he was even unwilling to talk to these former subordinates, but Shen Lin was still able to smile and greet these people as if nothing had happened.
Just based on this point, Shen Lin's psychological quality has improved a lot compared to before.
"Xiaorong, sit down quickly and don't get tired." Zhao Honglian knew that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she didn't care about anything else. She asked Lu Xiaorong to sit down as soon as she entered the room, and quickly poured Lu Xiaorong a glass of water.
Shen Lin looked at the old-fashioned ceiling fan at home, and his heart was filled with emotion. He turned on the ceiling fan and said, "Mom, you should sit down and have a rest too."
Shen Xingye took out a cigarette, but did not light it. Instead, he sniffed it a few times before saying, "Shen Lin, I'll go find someone to get Xiaorong out of the boiler room."
At this point, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I... I can't guarantee that it will be done. You should keep this in mind."
It was not a glorious thing for Shen Xingye to say that he was not sure in front of the children who were full of expectations.
Shen Xingye even felt extremely humiliated when he said these words.
The source of this humiliation is naturally due to one's own ability.
But now, all Shen Xingye can do is to speak out the ugly truth in advance.
"Old man, you must accomplish this matter. You should ask for help from others and we should express our gratitude." Before Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong could say anything, Zhao Honglian had already become anxious.
She has two sons. The eldest is now serving in the army and has not yet married, let alone having a grandchild.
Now my youngest son is finally going to have a grandson. How can I let the grandson die before he is even born because of a divorce?
What's more, the younger son cannot get a divorce.
So at this time, the most anxious person was Zhao Honglian. Although Zhao Honglian was usually afraid of Shen Xingye, now for the sake of her grandson, she rushed up at the first possible moment.
Faced with his wife's criticism, Shen Xingye didn't know what to say for a moment.
Of course he wanted to accomplish this, but he knew very well that it would not be easy for him to accomplish this.
He is no longer the factory director, and his previous relationships are basically useless. Moreover, Bai Bin is also causing trouble.
Compared with a retired factory director, almost everyone is unwilling to offend a newly appointed factory director who holds great power.
He was prepared to be treated coldly. The reason why he said what he said just now was not to shirk responsibility, but to give Shen Lin a shot of prevention.
However, he didn't expect that before Shen Lin said anything, his wife jumped out first.
"I know that I will do my best in this matter. What I said actually means..."
Shen Xingye was halfway through his words when Zhao Honglian interrupted him and said, "Don't say anything. I'll go with you to find someone. This matter cannot be delayed."
Shen Lin had experienced hardships in his previous life, and had a deep understanding of the ways of the world. He knew that if his father went to ask someone to do something for him at this time, the most likely thing would be that he would not get anything done and would be humiliated.
He would never allow such a situation to happen.
So he smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, you two don't have to worry about this matter. Since I dare to agree to it, I will naturally find a way to prevent Xiaorong from going to the boiler room."
"What can you do?" Before Shen Xingye could say anything, Zhao Honglian nodded at Shen Lin's head unceremoniously and said, "Don't worry, your dad can handle this matter."
Shen Lin was not unhappy about Zhao Honglian's blaming finger, and even felt a little touched in his heart.
He knew that Zhao Honglian was concerned about her son.
She didn't want to be blamed, she didn't want to be hurt. They were still used to wanting to take on everything for themselves.
Shen Xingye coughed and said, "Shen Lin, your mother is right. Although I am not sure, after all, I have been the factory director for such a long time and I know some people in the main factory. There is still hope."
Shen Lin could sense the concern in these ordinary words. He took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I know you can find a few old friends, but this kind of thing can be solved without wasting time. Why bother?"
"Then tell me, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Shen Xingye was not so easily fooled . He glared at Shen Lin and asked directly to the crux of the matter.
Shen Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "There is a person who owes me a big favor, and I have never wanted to use it."
"But now, I am ready to use this favor."
At this point, Shen Lin did not hide anything and told the story of how he and his second brother-in-law rescued a child who was abducted by human traffickers in the Dongfeng Hotel.
When Lu Xiaorong heard Shen Lin talk about this matter, he was not too surprised, but Shen Xingye and Zhao Honglian didn't know about it.
The two of them looked at Shen Lin in disbelief. They couldn't believe that their son had done such a big thing.
"You...is everything you said true?" No one knows a son better than his father. Shen Xingye knew what kind of person his son was, so at this moment, he had deep doubts in his heart .
Shen Lin nodded and said, "It's true. Just two days ago, that person drove to me in person and wanted to give me a thousand yuan and repay me."
When Shen Xingye heard about the one thousand yuan, he immediately asked anxiously, "Do you want it?"
"Save the abducted children, isn't that what we should do? Why would I ask for this kind of money?" Shen Lin said righteously, "Besides, if you want to bribe me, one thousand yuan is too little."
"Okay, you did a good job on this matter. When you go to see them later, you must be careful. You must not think that you are their benefactor and that they should do things for you."
"You must be honest and speak sincerely about your difficulties."
"Okay, I got it." Shen Lin said with a smile, "Dad, you've been tired for a long time, take a break. If I can't do it, I'll come to you again."
Zhao Honglian waved her hand and said, "It's already past eleven o'clock. You two shouldn't rush to leave. Let's eat first."
As she spoke, Zhao Honglian had already walked towards the kitchen of her home.
Shen Lin did not refuse the idea of having a meal. In fact, in his heart, he had been looking forward to having a meal with his family since his rebirth.
However, the guilt from his past life has always made him somewhat resistant to meeting his parents.
His efforts were not only for Lu Xiaorong, but also for his parents. He hoped that the first thing his parents saw of him was his successful self.
Sitting on the sofa, Shen Lin looked at the old house where he grew up, countless thoughts constantly surging in his mind.
As the former factory director, although Shen Xingye was fair in his work, he was still allocated a three-bedroom, two-living-room house according to his rank.
The house was quite spacious, and it didn't feel cramped at all when Shen Lin and his wife moved in. However, Shen Lin didn't want to be controlled by his parents at that time, so he didn't live there.
Now, Shen Lin naturally didn't want to move back, but an idea had already arisen in his mind, that is, he should find a way to get a house.
You can't let your child be born in someone else's family.
While thinking about building a house, Shen Lin chatted with Shen Xingye. During this conversation, Shen Xingye felt that his son was more mature and sensible than he thought.
If he had been worried about his son's improper behavior before, now, such worries have completely disappeared.
In Shen Xingye's opinion, Shen Lin now has the potential to be a real man. He no longer has to stay awake all night because of his son.
Although Lu Xiaorong was pregnant, she still insisted on going to the kitchen. However, in the kitchen, Zhao Honglian didn't let her do anything.
Lu Xiaorong, who was finally pushed out of the kitchen by Zhao Honglian, looked at Shen Lin who was chatting with Shen Xingye, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.
I don’t know where to put this science fiction magazine.
