83: Sign it, you must sign it!

“The favor of Fengxing Technology?

What kind of concept is that?

It’s a huge pie falling from the sky!

“Oh my! President Feng! You really are… truly too farsighted!”

Mother Su was the first to react, she rushed forward, pushed aside Father Lin who was in front of her, her face wreathed in smiles.

“I knew it! Our Lin Yao is so outstanding, and her brother, Xiao Yu, is also a dragon among men! How could he be bad!”

Her facial expressions changed faster than turning a page.

“Xiao Yu, this child, he has great wisdom! He knows how to bide his time! Five years to sharpen a sword, what is this called? This is called a late bloomer!”

Aunt also quickly echoed, her voice sharp and excited.

“Exactly! Exactly! President Feng, your eye for people is truly accurate! Unlike some people, who look down on others!”

As she spoke, she meaningfully glanced at President Qian and President Li.

Second Uncle rubbed his hands, smiling so widely his mouth couldn’t close.

“Lin Yao! What are you still dazed for! Quickly! Quickly thank President Feng! Such a good opportunity, if you miss this village, you won’t find this shop!”

The relatives who had just treated Lin Yu as a negative example and the Lin family as a joke, now, all became the most steadfast supporters.

They surrounded Lin Yao, speaking one after another, their words earnest, as if they were sincerely thinking for her.

Feng Rui was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction.

He knew that he had successfully pulled Lin Yao back from her brother’s side.

Using a large net woven from real interests.

He finally looked at the silent, beautiful girl.

Su Qingxue.

“Miss Su, I heard that you are currently unemployed and preparing for the civil service exam?”

Feng Rui’s smile was like that of the most seasoned hunter.

“Fengxing Technology’s legal and administrative departments always welcome talents like Miss Su to join. No exam is required, direct employment, with preferential treatment.”

Su Qingxue’s body suddenly stiffened.

She looked at Feng Rui in disbelief.

A formal position at Fengxing Technology?

That was an opportunity countless graduates would fight tooth and nail for!

Her breathing instantly quickened.

Feng Rui took in everyone’s reactions, he knew the time was ripe.

He turned to Lin Yao again, throwing out his final and most crucial bargaining chip.

“Miss Lin Yao, I know what you are worried about.”

“You are worried about your brother.”

Feng Rui’s gaze fell on Lin Yu.

“I also heard that Mr. Lin Yu will challenge the unprecedented 160-times difficulty College Entrance Examination this year.”

“I can assure you that as long as you sign, Fengxing Technology will mobilize all its connections and resources to mediate and facilitate Mr. Lin Yu’s exam.”

“We cannot change the rules, but we can ensure that within the rules, he receives the fairest and most favorable treatment.”

“All pre-exam training, resources, equipment, and skills will also be covered by Fengxing Technology!”

This proposal, like a heavy hammer, struck Lin Yao’s heart fiercely.

Brother.

She had just made up her mind to stand with him, no matter what.

To choose the least disgusting, most comfortable option.

To reject these hypocritical faces.

But… Feng Rui’s proposal was too tempting.

So tempting that it made her unable to breathe.

Brother told her not to consider the consequences.

But how could she not consider them?

The family’s savings, the last three million, had all been given to her brother.

What about their future life?

What about her parents’ retirement?

She herself had awakened a mythical-grade profession; subsequent training, skill learning, equipment crafting… which of these wasn’t an astronomical figure?

And then there was her brother.

The 160-times difficulty College Entrance Examination!

That was simply not something human power could challenge!

She knew her brother was strong, ridiculously strong.

But was that strength truly enough in the face of the entire Lincheng’s rule system?

Lin Yu could give her endless strength and courage mentally.

But Feng Rui handed her a key to solve all practical problems.

Moreover… Feng Rui’s contract was to sign both her and her brother.

They could still stand together.

It was just changing from a thorny path to a broad, flower-strewn avenue.

She just wanted to stand with her brother.

This contract, it seemed… did not violate that point.

In fact, it could make them stand more steadily, and better.

Lin Yao’s heart was in turmoil.

She looked up and once again gazed at the figure in the corner.

Lin Yu just looked at her calmly, without speaking.

But this time, Lin Yao read something different from that calmness.

She saw her own wavering.

She saw that determination being crushed little by little by the giant rock called “reality.”

The cold refusal that was about to blurt out was thus stuck in her throat.

She couldn’t say it anymore.

At this moment, everyone in the room, including those in the corridor, had their own ulterior motives.

President Qian of Baisheng and President Li of Tianqing Group, these two business magnates who had just been fighting to the death, now looked at each other.

They both saw a similar emotion on each other’s faces, mixed with absurdity and relief.

Follow?

How to follow?

Signing one Lin Yao was already a gamble.

Adding a Lin Yu who had been crazy for five years?

And also being responsible for the entire Lin family’s retirement and funeral expenses? Even taking care of distant relatives?

This wasn’t doing business, this was doing charity!

And it was the kind of charity only someone whose brain was squeezed by a door would do!

At this point, the matter was completely unprofitable.

President Qian’s flabby flesh relaxed, he quietly stepped back half a step, completely withdrawing from the battlefield.

No more fighting.

He just wanted to watch the show now.

President Li also silently pushed up his glasses, no longer speaking.

Tianqing Group’s losses were already irreversible.

But if he could see his competitor, Fengxing Technology, severely weakened by a wrong decision, that would be a kind of… spiritual compensation.

Representatives from other small companies had long since become quails, wishing they could shrink into a corner.

This battle of the gods was no longer something they could participate in.

They were now, like those hyped-up reporters, all spectators.

Spectators waiting for the final outcome.

And the most anxious and excited people in the corridor were undoubtedly Lin family’s relatives.

Mother Su could barely control the upward curve of her lips.

She glanced at Father Lin and Mother Lin, who were still in a daze beside her, and felt another wave of contempt.

They truly were useless!

Such a big joyous occasion, yet they still looked so worried!

She cleared her throat, squeezed to the front again, and began a new round of “persuasion” to the still hesitant Lin Yao.

“Lin Yao! What are you still thinking about!”

“How sincere is President Feng! He considered you, your brother, your parents, and even us relatives!”

“What is this called? This is called one person achieves enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!”

Aunt also shrieked, “Exactly, Lin Yao! Isn’t your brother taking the College Entrance Examination? With 160 times the difficulty! Without Fengxing Technology’s help, how can he pass?”

Second Uncle was even more direct: “Sign it! You must sign it! If you don’t sign, you are being irresponsible to your brother! You are being irresponsible to your parents!”
