52: Chapter 52 How to Allocate

Recalling what had just happened, Secretary Luoluo still felt a lingering fear.

After leaving the police station, she headed straight home.

Remembering Lin Chuge's warning, she didn't dare to get too close to the buildings, walking as much as possible in the middle of the road.

She would occasionally glance up at the sky, and if she encountered anyone working at heights, she would move even further away.

Just as she was about to reach home, she suddenly noticed several people suspended outside a building, installing glass.

She intended not to get too close, but noticed an old woman who hadn't realized this and was still walking directly under the building.

A sudden, ominous premonition struck her heart.

Because if not for Lin Chuge's reminder today, following her usual habits, she would definitely have walked along the very inside of the road, just like that old woman.

Perhaps she would have...

As Secretary Luoluo thought this, she heard a "crack" sound from above.

Looking up, the glass that was supposed to be sturdy for the exterior wall had actually cracked down the middle.

The ropes holding the glass were bearing the weight as a whole; if the glass shattered in the middle, it would be impossible to support it all, and shards were bound to fall!

At this height, with this weight!

If it hit someone, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Secretary Luoluo didn't even think; she lunged forward and pulled the old woman backward.

The old woman was so frightened she sat down hard on the ground, so Secretary Luoluo had to hoist her up.

"Clang!"

Just as she barely moved away from the spot, the glass fell.

Her legs were cut in a few places by the shards of glass splashing up from the ground, but it was a stroke of good fortune in the midst of misfortune.

"Then, your arm is..."

Lin Chuge was still a bit puzzled after hearing Secretary Luoluo's description.

"Uh, the old lady didn't cooperate at first, so I accidentally twisted my arm when I was holding her."

Secretary Luoluo said with an embarrassed smile.

Lin Chuge finally let out a slow sigh of relief.

It seemed that taking precautions was useful; in other words, the matter of the Lin family's future bankruptcy was not a dead end.

"Alright, you should rest well for these few days, no need to rush back to work, recover first... By the way, this accident counts as a work-related injury. Besides the stipulated compensation, the company will provide additional subsidies, so just treat it as a vacation and rest easy."

Lin Chuge would not be stingy with this secretary who was so loyal to her.

After settling everything and giving repeated instructions, she left the Hospital.

She did not return to the company but went straight home.

She knew her parents could also hear Lin Xiao's inner voice.

Since Lin Xiao's inner voice was so helpful to the company, she had to discuss with her parents how to properly utilize this point to resolve the Lin family's future crisis.

"It can actually be used this way?"

After hearing Lin Chuge's description, Lin Qingshan looked shocked.

Previously, every time they heard Lin Xiao's inner voice, they just treated it as gossip.

Even if it let them know some relatively secret matters, they felt it was something that could be encountered by chance but not sought.

They had never thought that they could actively utilize this to solve some troubles hidden in the dark.

"A-Xiao is truly our family's lucky star!"

Su Xiumei's face was full of maternal love; she wanted from the bottom of her heart to give her son more and better things.

If Lin Xiao wanted the stars in the sky, they would probably even plan to contact the space agency for business.

"How about this: in the future, when I have important projects, I will have A-Xiao accompany me."

Lin Chuge planned with a smile.

Su Xiumei rubbed her hands, also full of anticipation, "In the future, when there are important social gatherings, I must bring A-Xiao along. I want to see exactly what kind of hidden agendas those wealthy ladies, who appear so harmonious with me on the surface, really have!"

Lin Qingshan nodded, "Right, if we can catch their husbands' weaknesses, that would be even better. Even if we don't deal with them, we can keep an ace up our sleeve for self-protection!"

Lin Baixuan came home from work and heard her parents and sister talking.

After understanding the situation, she joined in, "In that case, I should also bring him to work. I want to see exactly who wants to harm me!"

After leaving the Hospital, Lin Xiao took the bus and subway home by himself, which was much slower than Lin Chuge.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt four burning gazes.

"W-what's wrong..."

Lin Xiao was unnerved by the staring and subconsciously took two steps back.

Su Xiumei smiled gently, "A-Xiao, come sit down. We were just thinking that if your studies aren't too busy recently, you could spend more time with your family."

"That's right."

Lin Chuge and Lin Baixuan echoed in unison.

Lin Xiao always felt they were acting strange, "Uh? How should I spend time with you?"

"Just visit the company often when you have time."

"When you have time, go out with Mom to meet those aunts."

"When you have time, come to the Hospital... for a check-up."

"..."

Lin Xiao: ?

In the end, it was Lin Qingshan who made the final decision.

Regardless of how Lin Xiao arranges his schedule later, he plans to hold a banquet first to officially announce Lin Xiao's identity.

On one hand, it is to give Lin Xiao an extra layer of status outside, so he won't be bullied by people with no eyes.

On the other hand, it is to gather those people from wealthy families, which will also allow Lin Xiao to distinguish whether they are sincere or fake.

Lin Xiao himself had no objections to this; in any case, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Coincidentally, the car he had ordered previously had already arrived, so he planned to pick up the car on the morning of the banquet and then drive to the venue himself.

The Lin Couple was a bit worried, but seeing Lin Xiao's persistence, they let him be.
