The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next meal.

"Guihua, Xiaolin is here." Xiang Weidong called into the kitchen.

Cao Guihua, Xiang Ze's mother.

This is a woman who is about the same age as Xiang Weidong, but still has a charming demeanor.

She has a big wave in her hair, is tall, and looks well-maintained.

However, the years have left wrinkles on her face after all, and no matter how well she maintains herself, she can't resist the invasion of time.

"Hello, auntie." Lin Ming smiled and nodded.

"Are you alone? Where's Chen Jia?" Cao Guihua asked.

She gave people a very intimate feeling, unlike Xiang Weidong's temperament that kept people away even though he smiled.

Although he had never seen Chen Jia before, his tone was as if he had known Chen Jia for a long time.

At least Lin Ming felt very comfortable.

No matter how rich he was, he couldn't compare to this kind of person in a high position.

"Chen Jia didn't come. She went shopping with her friends." Lin Ming said.

"Oh, that's a pity. I've always heard Xiang Ze say how beautiful and virtuous Chen Jia is. I wanted to take this opportunity to meet her." Cao Guihua said regretfully.

Xiang Ze explained: "Mom, sister-in-law was invited to Tianhai to attend the Chanel annual dinner this time. She is not alone, but also brought two friends. We'll talk about it when there is a chance in the future."

Cao Guihua certainly understood.

Lin Ming and Xiang Weidong would definitely talk about business when they met for the first time. Chen Jia must have felt that it was inappropriate, so she didn't come together.

"Xiao Lin, then you and your uncle Xiang sit down first. I'll go cook and let you taste my cooking skills tonight." Cao Guihua said.

"Auntie, don't bother too much. Just make a full banquet." Lin Ming said with a smile.

Cao Guihua smiled: "You're right, as long as there are enough ingredients, it's not difficult for Auntie to make you a full banquet."

"That's right, Brother Lin, my mother's cooking skills are amazing. Even my father, who has such a picky taste, is impressed." Xiang Ze followed.

"Haha!"

Lin Ming laughed: "Auntie, joking aside, there is no one else tonight, and we can't eat too much if we make too much. Don't be too busy."

"Just wait!"

After Cao Guihua finished speaking, she ran into the kitchen to work again.

Lin Ming and Xiang Weidong sat opposite each other, while Xiang Ze was busy making tea.

Xiang Weidong said: "Xiang Ze has already told me about your affairs. You have achieved such success at such a young age. You must be a dragon among men."

"Uncle Xiang is too flattering. I am already 30 years old. I can only say that I have achieved a little." Lin Ming said.

"Small achievement?"

Xiang Weidong shook his head: "Looking at the whole of China, apart from those rich children who inherited the family business, who can start from scratch and have assets of over 10 billion at the age of 30, and without any debt?"

Lin Ming did not speak.

"In today's society, it is your ability to make money, but how to be a rich man depends on what kind of belief you uphold." Xiang Weidong said again.

Lin Ming knew that he was referring to his donation of 3 billion to Yizhou Province.

"I heard that Phoenix Pharmaceutical has established its own charity fund?" Xiang Weidong asked.

"Yes."

Lin Ming nodded: "It can't be said that it is a charity fund under Phoenix Pharmaceutical. I plan to merge all the companies in my hands into Phoenix Group in the future. In the future, I will call this charity fund the 'Phoenix Charity Foundation'."

"The state allows the establishment of private foundations, but in the world, most charity foundations are only used for their own interests, nothing more than transferring money from left hand to right hand." Xiang Weidong said.

"I don't know what others think, but I certainly won't."

Lin Ming said: "The people who manage the foundation have already organized the charity fund. Next, donations will be made nationwide. The first place to be used is those poor mountainous areas, and children with disabilities or autism."

"In addition, it will also develop towards scholarships to give those poor children the opportunity to go to school as much as possible."

Xiang Weidong nodded slightly: "In fact, it is not just China. The gap between the rich and the poor in any country in the world is very large. The rich are rich, and the poor can't even eat."

"You are an entrepreneur in China, and you also have the spirit of an entrepreneur. I admire you for this."

"To be honest, when Xiang Ze first told me that you were only 30 years old, I was amazed at your ability, but I was also worried whether you would lean towards capital."

"We live in this world, and we can't move forward without money.

, but money is not everything. "

"The most important thing is to continue the belief of kindness and benevolence, benefit yourself and the public."

"Uncle Xiang, I understand." Lin Ming pursed his lips.

At this time.

Xiang Ze came over with a teapot.

"Dad, this is the first time Brother Lin comes to our house, can't you take back your official power?"

"I was just discussing human nature with Xiao Lin, why do you make it sound so unkind?" Xiang Weidong smiled bitterly.

"How can you say this is a discussion? It's clearly education." Xiang Ze said dissatisfiedly.

"Whether it's a discussion or education, what Uncle Xiang said makes sense."

Lin Ming was very humble: "I have been to Yizhou Province and have seen the poverty and backwardness there, and this is just one of the many poor mountainous areas in China."

"Fate may be unfair to many people, but they are still living strong. "

"For now, I can't make everyone worry-free, but at least, I can do my best to raise their hopes for the future."

"Listen, this is the pattern, learn from Xiaolin!" Xiang Weidong glanced at Xiang Ze.

Xiang Ze immediately said: "Dad, I donated 300 million to the Red Cross some time ago, and I didn't see you praise me."

"You take the money you earn from the people and give it back to the people, isn't that what you should do?" Xiang Weidong said.

"Okay, okay, anyway, you are right." Xiang Ze was helpless.

Lin Ming shook his head and laughed.

In fact, being born in such an official family is really not as good as being a rich second generation like Hong Ning.

Like Xiang Ze and Zhou Chong.

They have too many rules and regulations, and sometimes they can't even achieve personal freedom.

"Xiaolin, how about you try this tea? "Xiang Weidong said to Lin Ming.

Xiang Ze also winked and said: "Yes, yes, Brother Lin, this is the famous West Lake Longjing. Although you are rich, you may not be able to drink this quality."

There are many kinds of West Lake Longjing.

There are also many kinds of people who drink it.

Even though Lin Ming doesn't know how to drink tea, the strong tea fragrance drifted into his nose.

He still took a sip and praised: "Good tea!"

"Take some when you go back and let your parents taste it." Xiang Weidong smiled.

"Uncle Xiang, that's not possible. My parents are rough people. You should keep this kind of good tea for yourself." Lin Ming waved his hand quickly.

"Some things are cheap and rare, but people are not high or low." Xiang Weidong said.

With one sentence, Lin Ming's mouth was blocked.

He smiled bitterly.

If he wants to have a verbal battle with a person like Xiang Weidong, he may have to practice for decades.
