Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Deciding to Attend the Hongmen Banquet

Fei Wenxing knew how to stir emotions, and some nearby classmates looked over because of his loud remark.

Realizing his voice was a bit too loud, Fei Wenxing scratched his head, embarrassed, and lowered his tone.

"The eldest young master of the Lin family has returned."

"Is it the same Lin Mo who disappeared six years ago?" The prodigious young master from the Agricultural Science Institute, even He Zhou had heard of him.

"Yes!" Fei Wenxing gave He Zhou a knowing look and continued, "Not only has Lin Mo come back, but he also attended the board meeting."

Song Ke, "What’s so strange about that? Lin Mo started managing company affairs when he was just 10 years old."

"Have you forgotten that there’s another young master in the Lin family now? The current young master, Lin Jiahai, has long been groomed as the successor, even the 45% shares that were in Lin Mo’s hands have been transferred to him."

Fei Wenxing seemed to relish the gossip that he had heard from somewhere.

"According to the information, Lin Mo has been home for two months, but the news wasn’t made public, and the head of the Lin family didn’t assign any position to Lin Mo."

"Doesn’t this clearly show that they have no intention of letting him come back to the company?" Cheng Yao commented, "I heard that the head of the Lin family treats Lin Jiahai much better than he treated Lin Mo back then. Some people speculated that it was to compensate for the neglect Lin Mo suffered, but now the truth is out."

"The Agricultural Science Institute wouldn’t be what it is today without Lin Mo’s contribution. The way the Lin family is behaving is quite unsightly," Song Ke also shared his opinion.

Fei Wenxing, Cheng Yao, and Song Ke, all insiders, discussed while Qu Tong, Xu An, and He Zhou just listened.

Fei Wenxing said mysteriously, "There’s a twist."

"Just spit it out!" Song Ke rolled his eyes at him.

Fei Wenxing smiled slyly, "What nobody expected was that several pivotal partnering companies, which held shares in the Lin family, all had connections with Lin Mo. Lin Mo directly joined the board meeting as a shareholder with 25% of the shares."

"And he made it clear that he wants to take back the 30% of the shares in Lin Jiahai’s hands that belonged to his mother."

"They’re at a standstill now."

"If those 30% of the shares are taken back, along with the 25% that Lin Mo already holds, then the entire Agricultural Science Institute and all its industries would change hands."

As the conversation continued, Cheng Yao suddenly added, "Lin Mo is already 31 years old, two years older than Lin Mo. I wonder how their seniority will be decided from now on. Will Lin Mo have to be referred to as the ’second young master’?"

Song Ke, "Stupid, the title of ’eldest young master’ isn’t determined by ranking. Originally, the Lin family only had Lin Mo as their child."

Cheng Yao realized, "Right, it was because of his business acumen that people started calling him that."

Qu Tong closed her book, her apricot eyes reflecting deep thought.

Lin Mo’s actions were quicker than she had anticipated. Perhaps, from the moment he was rescued, he had already begun making preparations.

It’s commonly known that the Alchemist Association is wealthy, but the Agricultural Science Institute is even wealthier.

The reason why the Alchemist Association is more famous than the Agricultural Science Institute is that it has footholds in commerce, politics, and military fields, whereas the Agricultural Science Institute seems to intentionally avoid them, sticking solely to commerce.

Even though the Agricultural Science Institute was later affected by Qu Tong’s fruit and vegetable shop, they were only making less money, not losing money, and the numerous spin-off industries were still considerable.

If Si Yuting is the myth of the whole Interstellar military, going into battle at 15, and achieving the status of the strongest Grand Marshal within 10 years.

Then Lin Mo can just about be considered the myth of the commercial world in the Canaan Empire, handling company business since he was 10, and in 12 years turning an ordinary public institution into a group ranking second on the empire’s financial and assets leaderboard.

I really don’t understand what the Lin family is thinking. Isn’t it better to just lie back and make easy money? Why on earth would they think about flipping the table?

A business prodigy like him, capable of managing such a vast empire, why couldn’t he destroy it with his own hands?

It’s like picking peaches is not enough, and they even tell the one who worked hard to plant them to roll away.

That’s something no one could tolerate.

Qu Tong couldn’t understand this relentless drive for control over money and power.

Unless necessary, she believed in taking the easy route whenever possible.

If Lin Mo hadn’t given her inside information, she would be just like everyone else, unaware that the industry leader in home appliances, the Xuanyuan Family, and the exotic beast meat from the Alchemist Association, both had his involvement.

Privately, as long as it didn’t involve political power, he had dipped into many profitable industries.

No one even knew that he had branched out internationally.

"What are you doing here?"

Qu Tong’s train of thought was pulled back by a comment from Fei Wenxing.

Following the line of sight, she saw Chen Erhu approaching with two companions.

"You think I want to come over here!" Chen Erhu retorted and walked over to the more amiable Xu An, taking out five red invitations from the Space Button, "I’m here to deliver invitations on behalf of Brother Ye."

"For us, are you sure?" Cheng Yao took one over with a look of disbelief, "Lan Xingye’s brain must’ve been squeezed by a door, right?"

Chen Erhu thought about his task and used a clumsy provocation, "You’re not scared to go, are you?"

"Go back and tell your master, this battle invitation, I accept," Fei Wenxing said arrogantly, taking an invitation from Cheng Yao’s hand.

Chen Erhu and his companions left.

"Did you even read the content before deciding to go?" Song Ke stepped forward and took an invitation as well.

Fei Wenxing sneered in the direction where Chen Erhu had disappeared, "Fooling him, silly bird!"

"A charity dinner?" Fei Wenxing closed the invitation and casually threw it back to Cheng Yao, "I’m not going, who knows if it’s some kind of trap."

Cheng Yao distributed the invitations, one to each person, except for Fei Wenxing.

Ever since the last exam, they hadn’t seen Lan Weiying and Lan Xingye at school, Fei Wenxing had heard they took leave.

"Sister Qu Tong, are you going?" Song Ke looked towards Qu Tong.

"Better not to, Fei Cui is right, they didn’t invite us to the last product launch party on a whim, and now they’re specially sending invitations to us, definitely not with good intentions," Cheng Yao advised.

Qu Tong thought the same.

They unanimously decided not to go.

Qu Tong didn’t take the matter to heart and wasn’t planning to go either.

Was the Alchemist Association some kind of hot commodity? Just because they invited her, she had to go?

But after class, she received a message from Lin Mo: "The charity dinner next week, wrap it up."

Qu Tong hesitated for a moment then replied with a "Okay."

When she went home that evening, she mentioned the event to Si Yuting.

At a critical moment, Si Yuting’s Light Brain rang.

Si Yuting glanced at it and answered, putting it on speaker.

As the person on the other end explained, Si Yuting’s expression gradually grew grave.

A group of important criminals had escaped from prison, and the public had pointedly demanded Si Yuting to handle it.

"Why are they asking you to go?" Qu Tong asked, puzzled.

"Because I was the one who caught him last time, and during the arrest, his family member was executed on the spot by me for violently resisting as per the security laws," Si Yuting said, his eyes dark and utterly emotionless.

"How long will it take?"

Si Yuting’s eyes flickered, "Hard to say, the last arrest took a full three months."

"Wen You and Cheng Feng have arrived, Cheng Feng will come with me, and if I don’t return, have Wen You and Gu Xiu accompany you," Si Yuting said, indicating his intention to carry out the task.

Qu Tong naturally wouldn’t stop him, she took out her Light Brain and dialed Wen You, it was a good opportunity to ask if she had found a house.

After a long wait for the communication to connect, the first thing she heard was: "Tongtong, I’m busy right now... um..."
