System: Master Your Life-Chapter 824 - 202: Sealing the Deal and Returning Home – A Day with Xia Xiyao and Rong Xiyi
So when Xu Lin heard about the 150 million investment, Ms. Ren was shocked.
Going this big?
Xu Lin: "I have a handle on it. Besides, money is like dirt, gone is gone, no big deal."
"Are you that open-minded?"
"Of course, money is both important and unimportant to me."
Xu Lin wasn’t bluffing. Money comes too easily to him now, and anyone who’s made quick cash knows that when money comes too quickly, you tend to spend it freely, not treating money as money, thinking you can easily make more. So spending now is no big deal. Whereas someone who works hard for just a few thousand a month is likely to be frugal because they understand how hard it is to earn.
But Xu Lin earns money too easily, so he doesn’t care about it.
Not to mention, this is a business with enormous returns, and he’s got a god’s-eye view.
"So even 150 million is no problem. Think about it, if my investment succeeds, I’ll earn at least tens of millions, or possibly many times more."
"You’re investing by yourself?"
"Yes, I’ve set my sights on this robotics company. I think it has a promising future, worth a hefty investment..."
Xu Lin started explaining to her.
After chatting for quite a while, Ms. Ren finally relaxed. Ten minutes later, the conversation ended.
He felt Ms. Ren could be rather nagging sometimes.
Like the things Xu Lin does with this alias, if he were to reveal them, it might scare Ms. Ren into a heart attack.
Not to mention, he plans to do more outrageous things in the future.
Xu Lin had planned that once he’s fully exposed, he’d encrypt the information of his family and those important around him before that happens.
Why encrypt?
On one hand, many people would pay attention to him, and reporters and media would try to interview Xu Lin’s relatives and friends.
It’s a hot topic. These dumb media would report on it, just like when the college entrance exams were a big deal, the top scorers would get major coverage, or rural students scoring high would inspire news stories, like finding out the score during farm work, or receiving admission letters at a construction site, that kind of stuff, and those times were filled with such news.
But Xu Lin doesn’t need that.
He can expose himself, but those important to him shouldn’t appear in the media, especially his family.
On the other hand, he wants to protect his family’s safety.
He’s doing big business, aiming high, to challenge the Western world, to disrupt the existing order.
Xu Lin will face a lot of tough situations.
So, during these times, family information must remain confidential.
At least, it must not be exposed on the internet.
Just like many wealthy and powerful people, ordinary folks barely know anything about their family situations, and you can’t find their private information online.
After the chat, Xu Lin went to the bathroom for a shower.
Midway, Xia Xiyao came and knocked quietly on the bathroom door.
"What’s up?"
Xu Lin opened the door, seeing her poke her little head in.
"Xiyi is on her period, but I didn’t get mine."
Summer Xiyao was quite cheeky: "I’ll wait for you tonight!"
She left after speaking.
Xu Lin thought it was something else.
After the shower, Xu Lin went back to the living room and teamed up with the two girls to play mobile games.
"Xu Lin, during your trip abroad, did you encounter anything interesting?"
Summer Xiyao was curious. She wouldn’t ask random questions, unlike Rong Xiyi, who would ask if Xu Lin bought gifts. She always thinks of herself as Xu Lin’s girlfriend, also his elder sister because she’s over a month older.
Summer Xiyao is different. She considers herself Xu Lin’s canary - if it’s not supposed to be asked, she won’t ask. If Xu Lin wants to share, she believes he will, or else she won’t ask.
So, Summer Xiyao is actually quite smart.
"Interesting things, let me think..."
Damn.
Seems like nothing really interesting. Xu Lin realized he’d spent a long time engaging rhythmically with the older sister, doing those romantic things.
"Speaking of which, I went swimming in the ocean!"
Xu Lin finally recalled something.
"Ocean swimming, wasn’t it cold?" Summer Xiyao asked.
Rong Xiyi: "Yeah, Jiangdu’s daytime high is only 13 degrees today, and it’s really windy, quite cold."
"You silly girl, didn’t check what the climate is like over in Los Angeles, plus it’s been pretty warm these days."
"Oh, I forgot! What’s the climate like there?"
Rong Xiyi slapped her forehead.
Summer Xiyao replied: "Los Angeles is in the Mediterranean climate zone. Winters are generally mild."
"Oh, now I remember."
Rong Xiyi suddenly understood.
Rong Xiyi asked: "Is swimming in the sea fun? I want to swim in the sea too!"
"Only when I’m there can you go. No swimming in the sea without me."
To avoid accidents, sea play is fine.
Xu Lin can hold his breath for half an hour, not drowning within that time frame, but for an ordinary person, special circumstances may cause panic, leading to drowning in just over a minute, resulting in fatalities.
Rong Xiyi was eager: "Let’s go swimming at the beach when it gets warmer!"
"We’ll see then. It’s important to pick the right time and a good location."
"Xu Lin, pinkie promise!"
"You’re seriously doing a pinkie promise?"
Xu Lin saw Rong Xiyi extend her little finger.
"Of course! Yaoyao, let’s make a pinkie promise!"
"Pinkie promise!"
Fine, Xu Lin joined them both in a pinkie swear.
Since tomorrow is Saturday, the two of them played the mobile game well into the early hours past one o’clock.
