Chapter 76 Meeting the Parents (Happy New Year!)
"Dad, this is Chen Yuanguang, my boyfriend, Yuanguang, and this is my dad, Lin Qinghua."

Originally, Lin Jia wanted to define Chen Yuanguang as her college classmate and current partner, but Chen Yuanguang flatly refused. She said that they had already met each other's parents, and being college classmates would leave a bad impression on her father.

As soon as I heard the name, I felt the sense of time. The middle-aged man in front of me looked ordinary, whether it was his clothes, appearance, or temperament, everything was very ordinary.

If it wasn’t for Lin Jia’s introduction, Chen Yuanguang would definitely not have thought that this was Lin Jia’s father: “Hello, uncle.”

Lin Qinghua extended his hand to greet Chen Yuanguang: "Come on, Yuanguang, come in and sit down. Don't be too reserved since this is your first time at home."

As a business tycoon who has been in Zhejiang Province for many years, Lin Qinghua is well aware of the difficulties of starting a business and how difficult it is to truly build a business, even if it is just to ensure sustainable operation.

After sitting down, Lin Jia poured hot water into the cups on the table for both of them, and then left the tea room.

Before coming, Lin Jia and Chen Yuanguang said that they would first meet her father and then have dinner with other relatives, which was somewhat like an interview.

After Lin Jia left, Chen Yuanguang felt a little uneasy, mainly because he had never dealt with this opponent before and didn't know how the other party would play his cards.

"This is more torturous than when I faced Old Wu in the office building. Why does time go by so slowly?" Chen Yuanguang thought.

"Hello uncle, I have heard of you for a long time. Lin Jia often mentions you."

Lin Qinghua sneered, "Huh, she definitely has nothing good to say about me.

Yuan Guang, we are all men. Good men have a broad mind and it is normal to have a few women, don’t you think? "

Chen Yuanguang was stunned for a moment. You don't play by the rules. How can you use your ultimate move to become a general right away?

"If I say yes, then I will offend Lin Jia. If I say no, I will offend him. How can I break this situation?" Chen Yuanguang was speechless.

Chen Yuanguang really wants to go to the future to ask AI, but he is afraid of causing any accidents.

He filmed it with a camera, and there was nothing unusual after going to the future. But he had never switched time and space in public, so he wondered if there would be any unusual phenomena that could only be observed with the naked eye.

So forget it.

Chen Yuanguang felt like he was about to sweat: "I think it depends on the individual. Individuals are different. Uncle, you can't make judgments based on experience.

We need a large enough sample size to draw such a conclusion.”

Chen Yuanguang went on to explain: "First, we need to define a good man, then do some statistics, and even the statistical samples must be targeted, so that we can draw conclusions."

This is a way of beating around the bush, never giving a direct answer, but also not giving the other person the feeling that he is being cunning and sly. This is a unique way for science and engineering men to pretend to be straight.

Lin Qinghua did not expect Chen Yuanguang to answer like this: "As expected, he is a scientist. He is rigorous in his work and uses evidence-based thinking very well.

I was careless.

Yuanguang, Lin Jia should have told you that I had other women besides Lin Jia’s mother, and we had children, which led to a strained relationship between our father and daughter.

Plus, she can support herself, so I have no way to control her. She never liked to give me face, and now she doesn't need to give me face. This makes me very distressed. As Lin Jia's boyfriend, do you have any way to ease the father-daughter relationship between us?"

“Uncle, did you get the wrong scene? Aren’t we here to discuss Lin Jia?
How did it become a discussion about the father-daughter relationship, such a sensitive topic. Chen Yuanguang felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him.

He originally thought that the meeting would be for both parties to talk about Lin Jia's childhood, discuss how their relationship would develop in the future, and at most ask a few questions about their current business situation. But now all they discussed was Lin Qinghua's own emotional state.

This is like taking an English exam and then giving someone a math test, or an Olympiad math test at that, which is really difficult.

"I think you should accept the consequences." Chen Yuanguang thought that he should just say whatever he wanted to say and express his own opinions. He would be strong if he had no desires.

"Oh~" Lin Qinghua stretched out his tone to express his dissatisfaction.

Chen Yuanguang was not intimidated either. If you don’t play by the rules, don’t blame me for being honest: “You have been her father and daughter for so many years, you should know very well what kind of person she is and how she will react.

Since you have chosen to have other women outside and have children, you should be prepared for the relationship with Lin Jia to deteriorate and become irreparable. Make a decision and bear the consequences.

This is called "no regrets after making a move" in Go.

Based on my understanding of Lin Jia, there are only two ways to ease the pain. One is time, which can heal the trauma. The second is to go back to the past and prevent all this from happening. "

After Chen Yuanguang finished speaking, Lin Qinghua said, "Yuanguang, do you think I am deliberately making things difficult for you by asking you such a sensitive question?"

Chen Yuanguang thought, isn't it? You know it's sensitive, but you still ask me.

"I don't know whether it is embarrassing or not, and I won't make any judgment, but this issue is indeed very sensitive," said Chen Yuanguang.

Lin Qinghua said: "The reason why I asked you is because Lin Jia was originally going to return to the family business to work and come back to me, so that I can slowly repair our father-daughter relationship. It also takes time, but I can shorten this time.

Your appearance has caused Lin Jia to be away from me, so I want to ask you for a solution."

Chen Yuanguang suddenly realized, byd you can't do anything about it, so you make it difficult for me, right: "You can go to Shenhai more often."

Lin Qinghua: "There are tens of thousands of people in the entire group. I don't have that much time."

Chen Yuanguang: "This is an excuse. The company will not stop functioning without any one person. If it does, then it means the company's mechanism is unhealthy."

Lin Qinghua was speechless. I want you to teach me how to start a business? "Yuan Guang, things are not as simple as you think."

Chen Yuanguang: "It's that simple. With the development of technology, remote conferencing, online approval, and electronic signatures, these supporting technologies are enough for you to work in Shenhai.

Lin Jia is very important to you. That is an emotional need, not even the only emotional need, not a practical need. Emotional needs will always give way to practical needs. "

Lin Qinghua smiled helplessly: "Yuan Guang, you win, I will think about it carefully.

Lin Jia has always been a very well behaved girl and has never given me any worries since she was a child."

Chen Yuanguang used his own desirelessness to make the opponent's strategy completely ineffective. When Lin Qinghua began to tell the story, Chen Yuanguang knew that he just needed to remain quiet.

"So you can take care of her?"

Chen Yuanguang thought about the dangers he might encounter, that he would have to fight against America, and that he might not even be on the same front with China. He hesitated:
"I will try my best."
