Five-Year Plan
Mr. Linâs typing speed was slow. Before he could reply, another two messages came in.
âBy the way, your WeChat nickname is âHeaven Rewards the Diligentâ? Hahaha, youâre going to kill me with laughter.â
âMy dad uses such a lame name.â The message was accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Mr. Lin replied with a smiling emoji.
âDo you have time this weekend? Letâs go out together. There are some new movies released recently that are worth watching. Iâll book two tickets?â
So, he wanted to ask his daughter out?
Mr. Lin understood a bit about how young people interact.
However, when did Le Yu from the Le family develop an interest in his daughter? This person didnât seem very serious, always chatting with a playful attitude.
Mr. Lin replied, âI have to study this weekend. Iâm not free.â
âWhy are you still studying after graduating from college? Learning so much is useless. Donât you like watching movies? How about we go racing, itâs exciting!â
Mr. Lin frowned, âLiving and learning go hand in hand, how can you say learning is useless? Youngsters shouldnât just play all the time. You should focus on doing something productive at your age.â
Le Yu remained silent for a while on the other end of WeChat. He found Lin Gantangâs tone surprisingly similar to his fatherâs.
At this pause, Mr. Lin took the chance to type back and asked, âWhat are your plans for the next two years? Will you work at your fatherâs company?â
âNo, thereâs no point in working for my dad. I plan to start my own business and make a big business!â
Mr. Lin said, âYoung man, donât aim too high. Take it step by step. What preparations have you made? Have you done proper market research before starting a business? Show me what you have.â
Mr. Lin continued, âI suggest you set a goal and make a five-year plan. Send it to me before you think of inviting me.â
On the other side of the phone, Le Yu was perplexed.
Was it this difficult to find a girlfriend now? A five-year plan?
Le Yu silently put down his phone.
After waiting for a long time without a response, Mr. Lin exited WeChat and shook his head.
âThis kid is not reliable.â
Seeing Wen Yanqing sitting on the sofa, he felt much more favorably toward him.
Though Wen Yanqing had only recently acknowledged his ancestry, he had proven himself with outstanding abilities. He was a natural at this business. Even Wen Rendong had retired now, making many people envious.
After finishing her orange juice, Lin Gantang noticed her fatherâs intense gaze towards Wen Yanqing, as if he was trying to abduct him. It was unsettling.
âDad, you should restrain yourself. Youâre making others uncomfortable.â Lin Gantang exposed him.
Mr. Lin coughed and, realizing Lin Zhaonan had not yet come down, suggested, âThe food isnât ready yet. Take Yanqing to the small garden for a walk. Donât you know how to entertain guests?â
âDo you think itâs worth seeing anything in such a tiny garden?â Lin Gantang retorted, not moving an inch.
Mr. Lin warned her with a glare.
Lin Gandang was not afraid at all and remained unmoved. âWhy not take him to your study to show him some valuable collections as a token of gratitude for saving your life? Are you planning to dismiss him after just a meal?â
Mr. Lin was so irritated that he wanted to find a feather duster.
Wen Yanqing couldnât help but laugh.
Just then, Lin Zhaonan came down. Upon hearing the conversation, he said, âItâs sunny outside. Letâs not wander around. I have two movie tickets. I was planning to go with Tongtong this afternoon, but she said she had something to do. Do you want them? Otherwise, Iâll refund them.â
âWhat movie?â Lin Gantang asked nonchalantly.
âPerfect Duplication, just released,â Lin Zhaonan replied.
Lin Gantang didnât have any particular impression of it.
Wen Yanqing looked at her and smiled, saying, âIf itâs okay, could I have them?â
âSure, let Gantang accompany you,â Lin Zhaonan suggested.
âWhy should I go?â Lin Gantang lacked enthusiasm.
