âBut you have to painstakingly commute to workâ¦â
Lin Bai was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by his mother with a smile.
His mother said, âItâs just spending a little more time every day. Itâs nothing. Besides, Iâve already gotten used to it after so many years. Thereâs no rush to change houses. You should start your own business first. When you earn a lot of money in the future, you can get us a new house.â
Lin Bai hurriedly said, âMom, Iâll have my own way to start my own business. I donât need this moneyâ¦â
However, before he could finish his sentence, his mother interrupted him again.
âAlright, thereâs no need to say anymore. Itâs settled then. Listen to me, quickly contact that driver. Donât let others assume your identity and collect the prize.â
After saying that, his mother seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added, âBut if that uncle reneges and is unwilling to share the prize with you, donât be angry or sad. If he shares it with you, thatâll be great. If he doesnât, then just forget it. Thereâs no need to force it.â
âI believe that with your ability, you will definitely succeed even if you start your own business. You will definitely earn more money than this.â
After all, his mother had been in society for many years and was well aware of the complexity and fickleness of human nature.
She was worried that the driver would change his mind on the spot or make some harsh request to make things difficult for Lin Bai, so she had prepared a precaution for Lin Bai in advance.
She thought of everything except herself.
In fact, when she bought the house, if it was not to take care of Lin Baiâs school district, and to let Lin Baiâs father go to work closer, she would not have to work so hard every day.
She was always like this, always putting the needs of her husband and son before her own.
If there was anything that needed to be sacrificed and compromised, she would be the first to sacrifice her own interests.
For so many years, she had always given so silently.
She never complained about how hard she worked, nor did she ever ask for anything in return.
When he was young, Lin Bai could not see his motherâs dedication to the family.
Now that he had grown up, he understood.
Naturally, he could not let his mother continue to sacrifice like this.
It was time for him to repay her.
Lin Bai took a deep breath and suppressed the warm and sour mixed emotions in his heart.
He said, âMom, youâve done enough for our family for so many years.â
âYouâre the best mother and wife in the world.â
âBut you should also be yourself.â
âAfter so many years of hard work, you have to consider yourself occasionally.â
On the other end of the phone, his motherâs voice was obviously choked with sobs.
âWe are all a family. What do you mean by hard work or not? Your father has been working hard all these years to earn money. He is also doing this for the family.â
Lin Bai said, âI know. Father is also working hard. It is not easy for all of you but Iâve never done anything for this family.â
âJust give me a chance this time. Listen to me. Use this money to buy a house. Or if there is anything else you like or want to do, just go ahead. Donât worry about money. Our family is rich now. Weâll be even richer in the future.â
Lin Bai thought to himself. He had to find some suitable reasons in the future to slowly give the money to the family.
If he gave it to them all at once, it would be difficult to explain the source of the money, and he was afraid that it would scare them.
It would be easier to do it slowly and steadily.
Moreover, as time passed, the number would become bigger and bigger, and it would allow them to gradually adapt to a rich life.
His mother was very touched.
âYouâve grown up and are sensible. Iâm very glad that you know how to feel sorry for me.â
âBut weâll talk about changing houses later. If we really move, your father will be far away from work.â
Her and Lin Baiâs fatherâs workplace happened to be in the north and south respectively, so one of them had to travel a long distance every day. Otherwise, they would have to buy a house somewhere in the middle so the two of them would be neither too far nor too close to work.
They had considered it when they bought their house back then.
It was just that Lin Baiâs father was busy with work, and he often worked late. If he had to commute long distances after work, it would be too tiring.
That was why he bought the house near his company back then, so that he could get home and rest early after working overtime.
And the price was his motherâs years of hard work.
Lin Bai said, âThen no matter what, you guys take the money first, and then weâll think about the house slowly.â
âItâs not like we can move in a day or two anyway. If you have time, take a look at some houses. If thereâs a suitable one, buy it. If not, wait a little longer.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAs for my dad, you donât have to worry too much. Maybe one day, heâll be transferred to the North District?â
His mother sighed and said, âWe also hope that he can be transferred to the North District Branch, but there hasnât been any news for so many years. I guess thereâs no hope.â
Lin Bai smiled and said, âJust because thereâs no hope in the past doesnât mean there wonât be any in the future. Anything is possible.â
âAlright, itâs settled then. Iâll transfer the money to you guys later. When you and my dad are free, you can take a look at the real estate in the North District.â
Lin Bai hung up the phone and already had an idea in his mind.
Since the transfer didnât work out, he might as well just change his job.
Anyway, his father wasnât happy with his current job.
Although his father rarely talked about his work in front of Lin Bai and wouldnât show any negative emotions to him, Lin Bai could still tell that his father had been bullied a lot over the years from the bits and pieces of conversation between his parents
His boss had always disliked him and left him with all kinds of crap, so he had to work overtime every day.
However, even though he worked the hardest, his salary was the lowest among the employees.
His father had wanted to jump ship years ago.
However, he had his parents and children to provide for, and he still had to pay the mortgage every month. In addition, he was getting old, so many companies were unwilling to hire him.
As a result, more than 90% of the resumes that he had sent out sank into the sea. The few companies that were willing to give him an interview opportunity also offered a much lower salary than his current company.
That was why his father had to stay in this company all the time and swallow his pride in order to earn money.
In the past, it was Lin Bai who did not have the ability to change all of this but now, it was different.
Although Lin Bai still had no connections in his fatherâs industry, he already had enough money.
With real money, there was nothing that could not be done.
If there was, then it was not enough.
Lin Bai sent a text to Ling Xuewei.
âI need to find a Headhunter. Do you have a reliable candidate to recommend?â
After waiting for a while, Ling Xuewei still did not reply. He thought that she was probably busy with other things and did not see it.
Anyway, Lin Bai was not in a hurry. He threw his phone aside and continued to drive back to school.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the school and entered the dormitory, a black shadow pounced on him..
