No, it canât be true!
Robin consoled himself. In his eyes, the most impressive person in the world is his boss, Mr. Maslow, who is also the person he admires most. He would not admit that there is anyone in the world more talented than Maslow.
"Mr. Lin, I trust Secretary Jin, and you likely have decent medical skills. However, in other aspects, I reserve my opinion. I am a realistic person, and I only look at results. So far, your so-called top-notch chip manufacturing technology hasnât produced any finished products, so I canât say if itâs true or not. As for your talk of making cars, itâs still just a pipe dream," Robinson stated.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Whether you believe me or not doesnât matter. Iâm not trying to get you to believe in how great I am. I simply announced the news, and when our car comes out, Iâll invite you, Mr. Robinson, for a test drive."
Vision!
When everyone heard this, they were full of admiration for Lin Fan. Mr. Lin, truly worthy of respect, his words were so full of vision.
Feeling unhappy, Robinson said, "Mr. Lin, Iâll be frank. I donât believe that in car manufacturing, you can surpass us at Tesla. Nor do I believe that you can outshine my boss, Mr. Maslow. If you doubt me, weâll see how it goes. Iâm just afraid that the whole world will be laughing at Mr. Lin then."
Lin Fan replied, "Alright, Iâll try my best. As for Mr. Maslow, he is indeed impressive. Iâve never claimed to be better than him. I just want to say that I will do my best to catch up with him."
Boohoo! Mr. Lin is really too humble!
The crowdâs admiration for Lin Fan skyrocketed exponentially.
Compared to Lin Fan, the foreigner Robinson seemed arrogant.
"Heh, why does this foreigner look down on Mr. Lin?"
"Foreigners are just arrogant!"
"Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank, donât underestimate a young personâs struggles. Maslow is impressive, but who says he canât be surpassed in the future?"
Everyone was buzzing with discussions.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Robinson prepared to leave.
"Heh, then I wish Mr. Lin good luck. Of course, catching up with Mr. Maslow isnât just about luck, but strength. As for Mr. Linâs strength, heh, I wonât say more. I have things to attend to, Iâll be going first."
After saying this, Robinson left with his assistant.
"The foreigner is too arrogant." Secretary Jin shook his head and sighed.
Lin Fan asked, "Why is Secretary Jin sighing?"
Secretary Jin replied, "Oh, nothing, it just struck me. Our country is changing rapidly, developing fast, and thatâs obvious, but we must admit that in many aspects, weâre still behind. I often hear a saying that the U.S. holds the core technology. It seems like a joke, but isnât it also a fact? The United States indeed has a lot of cutting-edge technology. We are always trying to catch up. We can only say, self-improvement is needed for our generation!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Secretary Jin is right. The U.S. is indeed strong, but I believe that one day, we will surpass them."
Secretary Jin laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, I have high hopes for you. With my years of experience in assessing people, I think you are extraordinarily talented. I believe you will bring us many surprises in the future."
Lin Fan modestly said, "Secretary Jin, please donât overpraise me. Iâll do my best!"
Secretary Jin said, "Iâm not just talking randomly. Mr. Lin, you are so young and already Yun Cityâs richest person, also mastering leading chip manufacturing technology, and now you want to join the car manufacturing industry. I am looking forward to it. Just a couple of days ago, the mayor and I were discussing how we should respond to the nationâs call to encourage innovation and vigorously develop the technology industry."
The implications of Secretary Jinâs words were clear: if Lin Fan wanted to develop in high-tech fields, the Yun City Government would support it!
With Secretary Jinâs assurance, Lin Fan felt relieved. Mayor Wu truly is a practical and capable official. Back when Lin Fan wanted to build a Blue Moon Hand Soap factory, he also received support from Mayor Wu, who specially approved the land for the factory construction.
Because Mayor Wu consistently emphasized real industry.
Industry prospers the nation!
Technology revitalizes the country!
"Mr. Lin, are you here to buy a car today? Is this your girlfriend? Sheâs truly beautiful, and a great match for Mr. Lin!" Secretary Jin joked, glancing at Chu Xiaoxiao beside Lin Fan.
Chu Xiaoxiao immediately blushed: "I..."
She wanted to clarify but didnât want to at the same time, feeling conflicted.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I came to accompany her to buy a car."
Secretary Jin said, "Haha, then I wonât bother you. Iâm here at the auto show for some business. Iâll take my leave first, but Iâm sure there will be many opportunities to meet Mr. Lin in the future."
"Okay, Secretary Jin, please go ahead." Lin Fan replied.
Chu Xiaoxiao had been by Lin Fanâs side, witnessing the entire process, how Lin Fan easily resolved the situation for the rights-defending woman, how he stood up to Robinson, and how he chatted and laughed easily with the bigwigs of the political and business circles.
Chu Xiaoxiaoâs admiration for Lin Fan grew even more.
Teacher Lin, is genuinely outstanding, is there anyone in this world more impressive than Teacher Lin!
Her heart had melted.
"Teacher Lin, Iâve decided, I wonât buy a car yet. Iâll wait for you to manufacture cars and buy yours when theyâre available." Chu Xiaoxiao said, believing that Teacher Linâs car would be perfect.
Lin Fan couldnât help but laugh and said, "Car manufacturing isnât so easy; it hasnât even begun yet. Your intention to buy my car is good, but youâll have to wait for a while."
Chu Xiaoxiao said, "Itâs okay, Iâll wait, no matter how long it takes."
Lin Fan patted her head, "Okay, once I make a car, youâll be the first to have it. But for now, you should choose one to use temporarily. Switch to mine later when itâs ready."
Head pat!
Chu Xiaoxiaoâs heart bloomed with joy; Teacher Lin was so warm.
"Okay, Iâll listen to you, Teacher Lin," Chu Xiaoxiao immediately agreed. Whatever Lin Fan said was law to her since whatever he said was bound to be right.
Thus, Lin Fan continued to browse the auto show with Chu Xiaoxiao, looking at many cars. After comparing, Chu Xiaoxiao finally chose the BMW Mini she initially liked.
With Lin Fan overseeing, Chu Xiaoxiao felt completely assured. All the procedures went smoothly, and on the same day, Chu Xiaoxiao drove off in her beloved little car back to the Chu Family.
Worried she might be inexperienced, Lin Fan drove his Rolls-Royce, following her all the way back to the Chu Family.
Chu Family.
Chu Xiaoxiao drove the BMW Mini into the Chu Family mansionâs courtyard, parking it neatly in the driveway.
For a moment, Chu Xiaoxiaoâs new car caught the attention of everyone in the Chu Family.
Chu Xiaoxiao bought a car!
This illegitimate child bought a BMW!
Madam Chu happened to be at home at the time and, seeing Chu Xiaoxiao get out of the BMW, her face immediately sank. This was a BMW, a nearly new BMW, and not cheap at all.
Madam Chu always disliked this illegitimate daughter. This illegitimate daughter should be living a hard life, and it was already her greatest fortune to be allowed back into the Chu Family. And now she was buying a car!
Is she even worthy?
"Bought a new car? How much did this car cost?" Madam Chu walked over and asked coldly.
