Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 515 - 471: Lunar New Year’s Eve

With money and power, they looked down on these relatives, only putting their children in staff positions.

If you want your sons and daughters to work as employees, why would you bother with Lin Yi?

Fortunately, in the end, it was Empress Dowager Ye who dismissed them.

Of course, it’s not that she outright rejected them all; she instead told them that if they wanted to work here, it wasn’t impossible, but they needed to find a suitable position for them.

But to be upfront, if they truly lack the ability, and you end up assigned as a team leader at a factory under the nuclear group, don’t hold any grudges.

It was evident that after hearing Empress Dowager Ye’s words, their expressions didn’t look particularly good. This was just as Lin Yi had thought.

For two whole days, they were surrounded by these relatives and friends, so much so that Empress Dowager Ye even considered returning to the Capital City.

This was not what she had originally imagined at all.

Even her relationship with her once closest siblings had subtly changed.

For some reason, these people who were once so close now spoke with ulterior motives.

Besides flattering her, they just flattered her son.

In short, Empress Dowager Ye could see that they were trying every way to gain some benefits from her family.

After sending off all the guests, Empress Dowager Ye sat gloomily on the sofa by herself, and it was clear her mood was complicated and unpleasant.

Seeing this, Lin Yi could only shake his head with a helpless smile, for this was simply the way of the world.

And the behavior of these people was understandable; if someone could resist such temptation and not try to gain any benefits, it would actually seem strange.

Perhaps she simply hasn’t experienced enough of society.

Or maybe she values family too much.

Perhaps she herself felt no change in how she treated those siblings, maintaining the same attitude as before.

But looking at those relatives and friends, it’s not the same; after all, in the face of interests, true family relations don’t really exist.

It’s just like those relatives trying to place their kids into the group; can you really say they’re wrong?

This is merely human nature.

I believe as time goes on, Mom will gradually see the reality.

Perhaps this year will be the last time to go home for the New Year. In the long future, I doubt Empress Dowager Ye will ever come back.

After all, the family bond rooted deep in her heart no longer exists.

No matter how well those relatives behave, the deliberate flattery is still uncomfortable.

Although the room was full of laughter, there was a chasm between people.

Perhaps only by not coming back for the New Year, not gathering with them, can Empress Dowager Ye preserve that bit of familial feeling in her heart. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Son, why don’t we go back to the Capital City for the New Year?"

Just when Lin Yi was sighing to himself, the voice of Empress Dowager Ye suddenly rang out.

And indeed, this did not surprise Lin Yi; ever since he saw his mother’s expression, he understood that she was in a very bad mood.

"Why go back to the Capital City? Since we came here, let’s settle down and enjoy the New Year. Besides, I plan to go tidy up our old house, are you coming?"

Before Lin Yi could speak, Lin Jianguo, who was playing with Luoning, suddenly spoke up.

Clearly, this was directed at Empress Dowager Ye.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Empress Dowager Ye thought for a moment, then nodded and dropped the subject of returning to the Capital City.

But what’s really on her mind? No one can know.

Finally, in such an atmosphere, New Year’s Eve arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Empress Dowager Ye woke everyone up and gave them each a pair of red socks.

"Come on, everyone put these on today, let’s all trample on the petty people."

Looking at the bright red socks in his hand and the little figure design on the sole, Lin Yi reached out and took them.

This is an essential tradition of Empress Dowager Ye every year. It’s said to be superstitious, but more so it’s for good luck.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Ye personally put a pair of little socks on Luoning’s little feet. Not only that, she also found a bright red cotton-padded jacket to put on her.

Instantly, the atmosphere turned festive.

Little Luoning looked at the red socks on her feet, chuckling gleefully, and lifted a foot to her mouth, trying to taste what these red socks were like.

This naturally made everyone burst into laughter again.

Ding dong ding dong...

Just then, the villa’s doorbell suddenly rang.

Seeing this, the housemaid quickly went to open the door.

After all, anyone able to reach the villa door had already gone through outer layers of security checks.

Those eligible to enter the villa needn’t worry about outsiders coming unexpectedly.

As the door opened, the smiling figure of Li Huiqun immediately appeared before everyone.

"Hehe, Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! Happy New Year, Big Brother, Sister-in-law. Little niece, Happy New Year. Come and see what gift uncle prepared for our Young Princess..."

As this guy entered, he greeted everyone for the New Year, and later on, he brought a little gift for Xiaoluo Ning, which again brought a burst of laughter.

Though it was a bit early for New Year greetings, as today was only New Year’s Eve, not the first day of the New Year.

But it didn’t matter; in Lin Yi’s hometown, there are also those who start their New Year greetings today.

Seeing Li Huiqun’s greeting, Empress Dowager Ye reached into her pocket for a fat red envelope and handed it over.

This too was something Empress Dowager Ye had prepared; her pockets were always filled with a stack of red envelopes. Given her changed status now, she imagined people would be visiting constantly to offer New Year wishes.

Moreover, while strolling around, she was likely to meet people giving her New Year wishes too.

Pockets were stuffed with all sorts of red envelopes, the size depending on who they were for.

Prepared in advance saves one from awkward moments, doesn’t it?

Seeing the red envelope, Li Huiqun immediately...
