This time, Lin Guoqiang truly saw Su Lin in a new light. Simply by considering the facilities under development, Su Lin could predict the future direction of Zhongjiang City’s growth. Such foresight wasn’t unheard of among businessmen with sharp instincts, but Su Lin was only eighteen, a senior high school student. Moreover, his vision was more far-reaching than mere development plots; Su Lin chose the center of the development area, clearly a superior strategy. Lin Guoqiang sighed lightly,…-

Due to Lin Guoqiang’s rare appearances in the media, few people in the classroom recognized him. Those who did recognize him doubted themselves – such a high-ranking mayor wouldn’t have time to attend a parent-teacher meeting for his child. Although he was surrounded by many people when he came in, most assumed these were parents consulting Teacher Wang Yi about their children’s progress. Lin Guoqiang was pleased that no one in the classroom recognized him. It would have been troublesome if they…

Days flew by, and soon it was Saturday. As Su Lin arrived at school and sat down, he noticed Lin Xiaowan humming a tune at her seat. “Wow, Xiaowan, you seem to be in a good mood today. Have you escaped the clutches of your parents and gained a new lease on life?” Su Lin teased with a smile. “How did you know?” Xiaowan looked up at Su Lin, surprised by his guess. “Heh, you’ve been so worried these past few days, you almost turned gray. Now, you seem to have broken free from their grasp,” Su…

Arriving in the classroom, Lin Xiaowan had already turned on the lights and opened the windows. Seeing Su Lin come in, she expressed her surprise, “Su Lin, you’re here so early?” Su Lin nodded, “Of course, I have to be early. Otherwise, I might lose my future wife.” “Stop it, what are you talking about?” Xiaowan retorted playfully, throwing an eraser at Su Lin, who skillfully dodged it. “Tsk tsk, Xiaowan, you seem to have violent tendencies. I’m seriously doubting my future life now; I…

“Sweetie, here’s the thing. Since your college entrance exams are coming up, your dad and I discussed it and decided to pick you up and drop you off at school every day until the exams are over.” “This way, you can focus more on your exam preparations and get more rest. What do you think about our idea?” Wang Xiaoqian finished and looked at Lin Xiaowan, waiting for her response. Xiaowan, taken aback, asked in disbelief, “Mom, are you serious?” “Of course, we’ve discussed it. Starting…

Outside the family housing complex, Su Lin’s car stopped at the entrance. Seeing it was almost half-past nine, Su Lin said with a hint of helplessness, “I didn’t expect that we’d have to queue up for dinner. It’s late now, Xiaowan. Won’t your parents say something?” Xiaowan, smiling, replied, “My parents might not even be off work yet. They are usually very busy and often come home late. And even if they are home, they wouldn’t say much.” Su Lin nodded, “Then I’m relieved. Go on,…

Tian Wei, watching Lin Xiaowan enjoy herself, thought to himself, “This isn’t taking advantage; this is flirting.” “Guoqiang, should we go over there?” “Go over? To watch my daughter flirt with another guy? Let’s go, let’s just leave. Out of sight, out of mind. We’ll talk about it when we get home!!!” Lin Guoqiang waved dismissively. Tian Wei, surprised, noted that Lin Guoqiang didn’t intervene despite Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin’s interaction. What Tian Wei didn’t know was that…

Su Lin, along with Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu, were chatting and laughing, unaware that they were being followed. They were discussing the specifics of their supermarket’s grand opening, so their attention wasn’t on the car trailing them. Lin Xiaowan never imagined that Lin Guoqiang would come to pick her up from school. After about fifteen minutes, Tian Wei’s expression changed, “Guoqiang, this road doesn’t look familiar, it’s heading towards the development zone.” Lin Guoqiang waved his…

In the afternoon, around five o’clock, numerous cars were parked outside Jiangning First Senior High School, waiting to pick up students after school. Due to the mid-term exams being held across the school today, dismissal time was earlier than usual. (TL : In China 7-9th grade is middle school, 10-12 is high school and both usually attend the same school.) A black Audi A6 slowly came to a stop among the cluster of cars. Lin Guoqiang, gazing at the school’s gate, let out a deep sigh. Hearing the…

Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu had a conversation outside, and although Su Lin didn’t know the details, seeing them return to the classroom like close sisters, he felt he had taken another step towards his ultimate goal. When Lin Xiaowan sat down beside him, Su Lin smiled and said, “Xiaowan, I was right, wasn’t I?” “Hmph. Just eat your breakfast; it’s getting cold,” she said, ignoring his words. Su Lin responded with a smile, “Want to join?” “No thanks, I already had breakfast. You go…
