"Hanyan, come, eat more food."
"Try the braised pork and pork ribs made by my aunt. The potatoes are so soft and rotten, they are delicious."
Mother Song said, putting vegetables in her bowl.
Lin Yan raised her head and forced a smile: "Thank you, Auntie."
After that, he remained silent and buried himself in his meal.
In the past, she was not the most active one at the dinner table, at least she was talking and laughing. Now except for asking and answering, she is extremely silent at other times.
Mother Song's complexion was a little gloomy, and she sat down again.
Song Yuhang patted his mother's hand to comfort her, then squeezed Lin Yan's palm, and took a big mouthful of food from her bowl: "If you can't eat too much, don't eat."
Lin Yan didn't say anything, and watched her nod her head, then mechanically stuffed the food into her mouth again.
Ji Jingxing gave Xiao Wei a wink, the child hesitated for a while, but with the encouragement of his mother, he put down his chopsticks and ran into his room, took out an iron box from inside, handed it to Lin Yan, and lifted the lid.
"Aunt Lin, are you too sad and in too much pain? It was the same when I was in the hospital, but my mother said that when you are sad, you can eat a piece of candy."
Because of the injury last time, the child's temperament has changed drastically. He is not as lively as before, and his voice has become softer, with a shy and reserved look on his face.
Lin Yan was stunned, but saw that she kept stretching out her hand, her eyes were so clean and clear, like a blue lake, not stained with dust.
She looked down at the box, which was filled with colorful candies, including fruit candies, milk candies, and soft candies, all of which children like to eat.
"Lin Yan, I'll give you this can of candy. You can eat one when you're sad."
She inexplicably remembered the year when she first arrived at Lin's house, the little Lin Ge stood in front of her, holding candy with both hands devoutly, and handed it to her eyes.
Lin Yan slightly bent her lower lip, tears quickly pooled in her eyes, and took a fruit candy from her expectant eyes.
"thanks."
Xiao Wei also had a big smile on her face, her eyes were almost narrowed.
Taking advantage of Lin Yan's inattention, she simply stuffed the candy into her hand.
"Auntie, you can eat. Xiaowei is healed. You don't need it anymore. Leave what you don't want to those who need it. Aunt Lin, get well soon..."
As the child spoke, he puffed up his cheeks and took a peek at Song Yuhang: "Only in this way can my aunt get well."
Lin Yan blushed slightly: "Who taught you to say it?"
Song Yuhang coughed lightly, and took her hand: "Eat, eat, let's go home quickly after eating."
Ji Jingxing couldn't help but burst out laughing, beckoning Xiao Wei to come back, the child obediently ran back and snuggled up to her side.
"Xiao Wei eat quickly, it's time to do homework after eating."
Mother Song also had a smile on her face, and she chose soft, rotten, nutritious and easy-to-digest dishes for her to eat, and filled a large bowl of pig's knuckle soup to supplement her nutrition.
Song Yuhang didn't get this kind of treatment, he kept yelling.
The second half of the meal was enjoyable.
After dinner, Song's mother and Song Yuhang went to wash the dishes, the TV was on in the living room, Xiao Wei sat beside her and played with toys, and Ji Jingxing accompanied her.
Lin Yan watched as the hostess on the TV opened and closed her bright red mouth.
"According to people familiar with the matter, Mr. Lin Youyuan, the chairman of Jingtai Group, has indeed passed away, but the police have not yet disclosed the specific cause of death to our agency. The stock of Jingtai Group has fallen below the low value in the past few days, and it declared bankruptcy last week. Tens of thousands of employees will die. Where do I go... ”
As soon as the screen turned, the camera came to Jingtai Building. There was a cordon in front of the glass screened door. Except for a large number of employees who were asking for salary, the building was deserted and empty.
Lin Yan dazed for a moment, as if he could still see, the glass door opened wide, and a group of elites in suits and leather shoes came out surrounded by Lin Youyuan.
She blinked, and the image was gone.
Xiao Wei took the remote control to change the channel and started watching cartoons.
Lin Yan looked over, but what she didn't expect was that Ji Jingxing was also looking at her, and there was nothing in those eyes, including disgust.
She doesn't hate her anymore, she just said it calmly.
"It's been almost eight years since my husband passed away. It's been thirty years since Song Yuhang lost his father. My mother spent most of her life alone, pulling her and her brother to grow up. We still live strong and full of hope. Lin Yan, I hope you will too. can."
Even when she comforted others, she had a strong sense of preaching, Lin Yan thought to herself: What's the comparison
But no matter how disdainful he was in his heart, Lin Yan slightly raised the corners of his lips, turned his head away, and his eyes welled up.
She continued to speak stubbornly: "Ha, why don't I be strong, Song Yuhang and I still have a long life, some people, let's give up as soon as possible."
Ji Jingxing gritted his teeth: "Isn't this matter already over? Why are you bringing up the old matter again?"
Lin Yan: "What happened, you slap me forever."
Song Yuhang poked his head out from the kitchen: "What are you talking about?"
The two said in unison: "It's nothing, wash your dishes."
After everything was tidied up, when it was time to leave, Mother Song got up and sent them to the door, urging them again.
"I have to take the medicine for tiredness on time, and Yu Hang will supervise her."
Song Yuhang nodded in agreement.
"This is the stewed chicken feet and beef in the afternoon. Take it back and give it to Yanyan for snacks."
It's just that there were two extra chopsticks on the dining table, and Mother Song silently remembered it, packed a food box, handed it to them, and told them to put it in the refrigerator if they couldn't finish it.
"There are also fruits. You have just been discharged from the hospital, so you must not have time to buy them. Take them with you."
"Red dates, raisins, invigorate qi and nourish blood. I also take some goji berries to soak in water to drink. There are also chrysanthemums. It is dry in autumn, and it moisturizes the throat and relieves the fire."
…
Seeing that there were more and more things in her hand, Song Yuhang's mouth twitched, and he quickly freed up a hand to stop her urge to go out to get things.
"Mom, mom, don't be so busy, this is enough for us to eat for a long time, besides, there is still more at home."
Song's mother stomped her feet: "Oh, what's the matter? Both of you have injuries on your body, especially you..."
Song Yuhang gently pulled her, and Song's mother stopped talking in time.
"You are all serious, take care of yourself while you are young, and don't leave any sequelae when you are old."
Song Yuhang patted her hand and smiled to comfort her: "Don't worry, Mom, then we'll go back first."
Lin Yan also bid farewell to Song's mother, with a trace of sincere gratitude in his eyes, and he looked much better than when he was out of his mind just now: "Goodbye, auntie."
Song's mother felt emotional, took her hand again and told her carefully, finally saw that her scarf was not fastened, raised her hand tremblingly to help her tie a pimple.
After working for half her life, Mother Song's hands are rough and covered with age spots, but when they stick to the skin, there is a touch of warmth.
The time spent with my mother in childhood was too short, so that the appearance has long been blurred.
Lin Yan looked at her white hair at the temples, her wrinkled face, and slightly sore nose, and thought: If my mother was still alive, she should look like this.
"Auntie, take good care of yourself."
The person who hadn't talked much since entering the door suddenly showed his concern for her. Mother Song was flattered, tears welled up in her eyes, and she squeezed her hand again before letting go.
"Oh, good, come and see often, tell auntie what you want to eat, and auntie will make it for you."
The group of people dawdled, and Song's mother found an opportunity to stuff a few nutritional supplements into her hands, and said that she would bring them thick quilts. The room over there had been unoccupied for a long time, and it was cold.
Song Yuhang's hands were not empty, his scalp was numb, and he just wanted to run away: "Mom, mom, let's go."
The corner of Lin Yan's mouth twitched, and he quickly opened the door for her.
Xiao Wei dropped the toy and ran over when she heard the movement: "Goodbye, Auntie, goodbye, Aunt Lin."
For the child who just gave him candy, Lin Yan always had a preference, so he patted her head.
"Goodbye, Xiaowei."
Ji Jingxing stood up and opened his mouth.
Lin Yan turned his gaze, and closed his mouth tightly like a clam shell, without saying hello to her.
Ji Jingxing gritted his teeth and didn't speak to her.
"Yuhang drive slowly, see you another day."
Song Yuhang replied subconsciously: "Sister, goodbye, Xiaowei, goodbye, aunt is gone."
Xiao Wei stood at the door and waved to them, watching them go downstairs.
Song Yuhang stuffed all the miscellaneous things into the trunk, turned around and put the person between the car and himself.
She leaned down: "Hanyan, kiss."
After all, there are too many people in the hospital, even though they live in the same ward, they can't be too presumptuous, right
Song Yuhang held back for a long time, and was about to kiss Fangze when Lin Yan covered her mouth.
"No kiss, get out."
"Why? Dear..." Song Yuhang was wronged, he pulled her hand off, and rubbed it against her neck like a big golden retriever.
Lin Yan was itched a little by her, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, but he still raised his eyebrows.
"One mouthful, one sister, it's very affectionate."
"No matter how close you are, can I still be close to you?" Song Yuhang murmured, so this is the crux of the matter.
The guy is jealous.
Her head was arched in her neck, and she simply kissed her along the fair skin, and finally gently sucked her earlobe.
Lin Yan's fingers suddenly scratched and wrinkled her clothes.
Song Yuhang pinched the back of her neck, forcing her to raise her head to accept his kiss, which was about to cover her lips.
The security guard in the parking lot blew his whistle, and a flashlight came from afar.
"Who, what are you doing!"
This scene is like being caught by the head teacher during a puppy love in junior high school.
Song Yuhang laughed, he pulled her up and got into the car, he leaned over and pecked her on the lips before he put into gear and drove.
"Let's go, go home."
Lin Yan wiped away the warmth remaining on her lips, her face flushed slightly.
Ge Laozi was taken advantage of again.
When I got home, I opened the door and saw Song Yuhang's photo of her beside the portrait of his father and brother.
She rushed over with a stride, closed the photo frame, and laughed.
"Go take a shower first, I haven't come back for a long time, I will clean up."
Lin Yan put down the bag: "I'm with you."
Song Yuhang pushed the person away: "No, no, go take a shower, the doctor said you can't be tired."
"But… "
She is also a patient who has just been discharged from the hospital.
Song Yuhang stuffed the clean towel pajamas he found into her hands one after another, and smiled slightly.
"There's nothing wrong with it. If you can come back, I can do anything."
After she made the bed and cleaned the room, Lin Yan also came out of the shower, sat cross-legged on the bed and counted her bank cards, and there was a whole row of them densely packed in front of her.
She frowned, seemingly troubled.
Song Yuhang walked over, touched her head, and said softly, "Do whatever you want, and don't worry about me."
＊＊＊
In the early morning of the next day, several black commercial vehicles stopped at the gate of Jingtai Building. Lin Yan opened the door to get out of the vehicle, and was immediately surrounded by reporters swarming up.
"Miss Lin, is your father really dead?"
"Miss Lin, what do you think of the Jingtai Group declaring bankruptcy?"
"Miss Lin, didn't Jingtai officials announce that you have passed away and will not inherit a huge amount of property?"
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin..."
Lin Yan wore a formal suit today, a rare black suit and white shirt, with the same style of suit trousers and high heels underneath, and a precious quartz watch on his wrist. Apart from that, there was no decoration on his whole body. He walked in squinting, and when the reporter tried to keep up with him, he was blocked by a human wall pulled up by the police who arrived later.
The major shareholders are all waiting in line in the meeting room.
As soon as Lin Yanfu walked in, Qi Shushu cast her gaze over. She raised her eyes and scanned the small conference room, and there was an empty seat at the top, which turned out to be Lin Youyuan's seat.
She went straight over and sat down, and the people who followed her stood behind her with notebooks under their armpits.
"let's start."
As soon as she finished speaking, a shareholder said: "The most urgent thing is to use your part of the inheritance to subsidize the company's finances, so that we can have a chance to make a comeback."
A lot of people below echoed, you said what you said, some talked about the reorganization plan, some asked her to sell her equity, and some coveted her property...
There were different opinions, and all the spit was splashed on the table in front of her.
Lin was tired of letting them talk, and when he had finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly, resting his hands on his chin.
"I think you may have misunderstood me. I'm not here today to revive, but..."
She slightly raised her eyes: "Dismiss Jingtai."
The air was stagnant for a moment, and someone slapped the table and stood up.
"What?! Lin Dong's painstaking efforts for most of his life were ruined in your hands. How can you tell him to rest in peace?!"
"Then what about my stocks and options? Will you pay me?! The little girl Pianzi has no hair on her mouth, and she can't do things well. She just listens to the board of directors. Jingtai can't be dissolved!"
"Yes, yes, we can't disband, we still rely on the group to eat!"
…
The crowd was furious, and everyone who was usually polite and polite stood up, yelled at her, and even greeted her eighteen generations of ancestors.
Lin Yan twitched the corner of his lips sarcastically, looking at their appearance, suits and leather shoes, fat heads and big ears, wearing expensive watches, and smelling of copper all over their bodies, those who rely on Jingtai to eat should be those outside people.
Her cold voice resounded loudly.
"I apologize. I specially called everyone from the Municipal Audit Bureau to check the accounts. If there are no problems with the account books of each department, the resignation salary will be settled on the spot, and double payment will be made in one lump sum according to the number of years of work. Of course, if there is a problem with the accounts, eat How much you swallowed, you have to spit it out for me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to be choked, and they all fell silent.
Lin Yan rushed ahead of them and said, "As for the stocks and options in your hands, I am also willing to redeem them at the original price. Jingtai, I must dissolve today."
The people from the Audit Bureau who followed her turned on the computer and put it on the table, picked a few empty seats, sat down, and nodded to her.
"Miss Lin, we are ready and we can start."
Lin Yan folded his arms and leaned on the leather chair, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who will come first?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, an old man with gray temples tremblingly stood up and threw his teacup in front of her.
"Lin Yan, I started my business with Lin Dong for 20 years. From having nothing to today's thriving business empire, I have suffered so much and suffered so much to get into today's situation! Disbandment is easy to say, we are here to pay You spent your youth, poured your blood and sweat, and spent half your life in Jingtaili. What you did today is to disregard our old employees and Dong Lin's life's painstaking efforts... "
The more the old man talked, the more angry he was, he poked his crutch on the ground, and the tea cup fell on the table, the tea overflowed, and the broken porcelain slipped past her hand.
Lin Yan didn't change his face and let him scold him.
"I'd rather die than see Jingtai fall on someone like you!"
Under his leadership, more and more people stood up, glaring at her and swearing at her.
Among them, there are many who treat Jingtai with sincere feelings, their eyes turn red when they speak, and they scold her with tears and jumping feet, such as the old employee.
Lin Yan silently accepted it without saying a word.
She sat here as motionless as a mountain, with no expression on her face, she didn't speak back, she didn't move, she didn't even urge them, and let them spout wildly for more than three hours.
Quite a few people were dry, but seeing her motionless, they were a little chilled. It seemed that Lin Yan was determined to disband Jingtai this time.
The old man was out of breath and blushing from scolding, but seeing that she was still standing still, there was nothing he could do. The old man stood up with a cane, raised his hand and spilled the meeting minutes on the table. open.
Snow-white papers were flying all over the sky, under the light of the fluorescent lamp, Lin Yan's brows were as cold as frost.
The old man scolded, slammed the door and left.
"Lin Yan, are you right for your father?!"
The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, many of them scolded dryly, and many of them had ulterior motives and did not want people from the Audit Bureau to check the accounts, so they also followed him, and the few who remained took the initiative to hand over their belongings. departmental accounts.
The people in the Audit Bureau started to get busy.
It was not until the afternoon that these account books were checked clearly. Those who should be accounted for should be accounted for, and those who should be settled should be settled. If there are financial problems, they will be directly transferred to the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
After all the people in the room had left, and the people from the Audit Bureau also went out to eat and take a break, Lin Yan sat alone in the empty meeting room, stroking the expensive office leather chair, and then felt a little loneliness.
"Miss, here it is."
Someone at hand silently handed a cup of hot tea, Lin Yan raised his eyes and glanced over: "It's you."
The secretary smiled wryly: "It's me."
"Didn't you resign?"
Because of the bankruptcy, the company's accounts have no wages, and many employees have resigned.
"I heard that you are coming back, let's take a look."
Lin Yan slightly bent the corner of his lower lip, took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, and put the paper cup on the table again.
"Good job, let those people outside come in."
The secretary was startled, but followed the order and walked out.
Not long after, the cash truck stopped at the gate of Jingtai Building. A bank employee in a black suit and white gloves walked in, put the suitcases in his hand on the table, opened them one by one, and finished counting. .
The news that Lin Yan wanted to pay wages and resignation compensation on the spot spread like wildfire, and a long queue formed outside the meeting room.
"Name?"
"Wang Wei."
"Senior years?"
"ten years."
The secretary pushed his glasses, tapped on the keyboard, and calculated the amount of compensation after checking.
Lin Yan counted some money and handed several stacks of RMB to him.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man walked a few steps with the money, but turned around abruptly and bowed to her.
"Although I don't know why Miss disbanded the company, we respect your decision. Director Lin is really the best and best leader I have ever seen. I remember that when I just graduated from university and came to work here, my mother was ill and the department The supervisor didn’t give me leave, so I secretly hid in the tea room crying and was seen by Director Lin, who not only paid me the salary of the month in advance, but also reimbursed the travel expenses for me to go home and visit my mother.”
"He is really a very good man, I hope you are all well too."
After the man finished speaking, he hurried out.
Lin Yan pursed her lower lip slightly, her eyes were slightly red.
"Next person."
"Name?"
"Wu Juan."
"Senior years?"
"Five years."
Lin Yan handed her the money, but the girl refused to leave for a long time, her eyes were red.
"Miss, is Dong Lin really gone? My department manager was promoted by him. At that time, I was sexually harassed by the former supervisor, and he helped me to do it. He also asked someone to accompany me to report the case..."
Lin Yan remained silent, and the girl walked out with the money in disappointment.
The crowd moved slowly, from the moment of sunshine to dusk and then to the dead of night, fewer and fewer people lined up outside the meeting room, and the money in the box gradually emptied. I took a part of it and brought it over.
The last one to come in was a very old cleaner.
"Miss… "
The secretary helped him to sit on the chair.
The old man was in his fifties, short and fat, with a kind complexion.
"I'm not here to ask for money, I just want to ask, is Dong Lin really gone? Where is he buried? I want to go and see him."
"When my wife died, my son and daughter-in-law were unwilling to take me in. They drove me out of the house in the winter. I had no choice but to find a job by myself. I found several companies. Either I was too old, or I suspect that I came from the countryside, and my hands and feet are clumsy, only Director Lin is willing to take me in, saying that the company has a special plan to recruit widows, widows, and orphans to work, and arrange some tasks such as cleaning, tidying, and clearing dishes in the cafeteria."
"We are not only paid thousands of yuan in wages every month, but also bought insurance, and our life is settled at once."
The old man was in tears, and he held her hand as he spoke, feeling agitated, and wanted to kneel down to her.
"Director Lin is my great benefactor. Now that he is gone, I don't want the company's money, so I want to pay homage to him."
Lin Yan trembling her lips, helped her up, unable to say a suitable word, raised her hand and asked the secretary to give her money.
The old man took the money in three steps and turned his head, and finally bent down.
"Miss, if one day your family lacks servants, just tell me, the old lady is still willing to work for you."
Lin Yan waved his hand, beckoning her to leave quickly.
The old man kowtowed and thanked again, took the money and bowed a few times, then turned and left tremblingly.
Lin Yan covered her eyes with her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly.
The secretary carefully brought her another cup of hot tea: "Miss..."
She sniffed and came back to her senses: "Oh, and you, the money is there, take it yourself."
The suitcases that were bulging when they came here are now very few. The secretary counted out what he deserved, walked to her side with the money, and bowed slightly.
Lin Yan twitched the corner of his lips sarcastically: "Why, did Lin Youyuan do you any favors?"
The secretary shook his head, stood up, and said as he walked to the door.
"Miss, if you start a company in the future, if there is a need, just let me know, and I will still come."
Lin Yan waved his hand, motioning for him to hurry up too.
After the people left, only pale fluorescent lamps and a mess remained in the conference room.
Lin Yan looked at the air, wanted to laugh, wanted to say that he was finally relieved, but still couldn't hold back, although the corners of his lips were curled up, tears rolled down, and he covered his lips and choked up silently.
"Bang bang—" Someone knocked on the glass door.
Lin Yan quickly wiped away tears: "Who? Come in."
The tall police officer came in from the door, smiling as warmly as the winter sun: "Boss Lin, I'm off work, and I'll take you home."
Lin Yan bent his lips, but tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
She choked up: "Boss Lin, I went bankrupt and sold a few of my favorite cars. You support me."
Song Yuhang walked over and pushed her head into his arms: "Yang, you are my wife."
One is sitting and the other is standing.
Lin Yan hugged her waist tightly, tears and snot all over her clothes.
