My wife is in my arms

Chapter 342: Trivial Matters Before the Lunar New Year VI

After working herself to the bone, Lin Baoer returned home.

She was also impressed by Zhang You, this guy. He really didn't treat her, the boss, as an outsider. After moving the table, he asked her to go upstairs to help clean up. He said that his wife Jiang Yiren was pregnant and couldn't work, so since she, the boss, was not pregnant, she could be used as a laborer.

After finishing the key work, Jiang Yiren was the only one who was polite enough to pour her a glass of water. Zhang You didn't even say a word of gratitude and asked him when he could start working officially.

"After the New Year"

I asked several times and got the same answer.

Finally, when I asked him how he planned to promote the company's singers after the new year and whether the company needed to allocate some resources, this guy said we'd talk about it after the new year.

It seems like this guy will die if this New Year is not over.

Later, she mentioned that the company had not yet finalized the holiday date, and that what he did was somewhat against the rules. What did people say... It seemed like "rules are dead, but people are alive."

In short, this vacation is confirmed.

"He's back!"

Seeing her figure walk in from outside, Lin Shirong, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and sipping tea, smiled and said something. Then he seemed to notice that something was wrong with his daughter and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you tired from work?!"

“Work is good”

Lin Baoer sighed and said, "I was mad at the music director hired by the company. Dad, I've never seen such an ignorant person. I went to his house after get off work and he asked me to do this and that."

"Zhang You, right?!"

Lin Shirong put down the teacup and spoke with a smile.

"you know!?"

Lin Baoer was instantly surprised.

You have to know that her father has rarely asked about the company's affairs since he took over the company from her, especially since her father and her mother had just returned from traveling abroad. Under normal circumstances, they should not know about the company's personnel transfers.

Suddenly, Lin Baoer realized something, and she immediately said unhappily, "Dad, are you planting spies in the company again? I've already told you, if you're really worried, just go back and take charge of the company, otherwise don't do this."

"hehe"

Lin Shirong laughed and said, "I didn't plant any spies. You organized the signing ceremony yourself. Your mom found it in the entertainment news and told me. To be honest, if your mom hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have noticed that you actually brought that guy into the company as the company's music director."

"You know Zhang You!?"

Lin Baoer was completely surprised.

"know"

Lin Shirong nodded, then sighed softly, and said with some regret, "Time flies so fast, I didn't expect so many years to have passed in a flash."

"Talk about it"

Lin Baoer quickly sat on the sofa and asked curiously, "Could it be that Zhang You comes from some wealthy family?"

"Not so for the wealthy"

Lin Shirong took another sip from his teacup before speaking, "His mother's name is Jin Lanxin. She's a modern dancer who's won the "Best Choreography Award" at a foreign dance festival. Her representative works, 'Dance of the Phoenix' and 'Birth of the Dragon', were both sensations. His father, Zhang Tingyuan, is a singer and composer..."

"Zhang You is Uncle Zhang's son!?"

Lin Baoer's eyes widened in an instant, with an incredible expression, and said, "In other words, this guy is the bastard who taught me to pee standing up when I was a child." Some memories that had been blurred by the years suddenly became clear.

"Ha ha"

Lin Shirong couldn't help laughing, then nodded and said, "That's him."

"I was wondering why this guy was so hateful, it turns out to be that little rascal!"

Lin Baoer gritted her teeth, then suppressed her anger and asked, "So Zhang You's musical accomplishments didn't come out of thin air!"

"Out of nowhere!?"

Lin Shirong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He said, "There are no such things as geniuses who suddenly appear out of nowhere in this world. That kid showed great creative talent and dancing skills when he was young, and he was also a very good singer. At that time, I saw the potential for superstardom in him, but then... your Uncle Lin and his wife met with an accident, and this kid just fell into disarray. His grades plummeted. I originally thought that no matter how this kid did in the college entrance examination, I would at least find him a university to attend, so that I would not let down your Uncle Lin and his wife. But this kid just ran away."

“I don’t think you take this matter to heart.”

Lin Baoer directly exposed her father's true thoughts.

"really"

Lin Shirong didn't refute him, but his words were still filled with regret. He said, "It's a pity for this kid. If it weren't for his parents' situation, he wouldn't have been hit so hard. Speaking of which, if your Uncle Lin and Aunt Jin were still alive, as we joked back then, you would have to marry him when you grew up. If that were the case, you would have been the one to get beaten. But...his and Jiang Yiren's daughter is nine years old this year, right?!"

“It should be about the same.”

Thinking of the little girl who talked back to Jiang Yiren in the evening, Lin Baoer nodded.

"Hey! If that wasn't the case, according to the timeline, you and Zhang You would have gotten married right after graduating from university, and that girl would have been your daughter."

talking.

Lin Shirong sighed and said, "That's what life is like! It's really unpredictable. You're still unmarried, and Zhang You's son and daughter are already so grown up. It's not a pity, but it's really regrettable."

Listen to what my dad said.

In a trance.

Lin Baoer recalled the little girl who had argued with Jiang Yiren tonight and then immediately hid behind her father to peek at Jiang Yiren's reaction. Suddenly, she had a different feeling, and a touch that had never existed before slowly grew in her heart.

"That girl is your daughter."

Her father's words made her thinking become abstract. She knew that this assumption was completely unfounded, and it was really... That was not the same person, but she felt that it was a little different.

"Dad, is Zhang You really a good dancer?!"

Putting aside some unrealistic ideas, Lin Baoer asked.

"It seems he won first place in a breakdancing competition in junior high school, and he seems to know some other dances. I haven't asked your Aunt Jin for the details. After all, he was still young at the time. Even if he had the potential to be a superstar, he wouldn't be suitable for debuting. Since you recruited him into the company as the music director, please take good care of him."

Lin Shirong said seriously, "As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, you can let him do whatever he wants. Just treat it as a little compensation for my uncle's failure to do his job well. But there is one thing: have someone keep an eye on him and don't let him get involved in gambling again."

"You mean you've known about this guy for a long time, but you just don't want to bother with him because he's a gambling addict?"

Lin Baoer asked.

"Gamblers in this world can only save themselves, otherwise no one can save them.
Lin Shirong stood up. He did not answer his daughter directly, but changed his tone and said, "The more others try to save him, the deeper he will fall. No matter how big the family business is, it can't support a real gambler."
