Chapter 296: 135, head to America! Make money and fire the first shot in the counterattack against Chen Shanhe!_5
Lin Siyu was a bit shy, shaking her head and waving her hands again and again, “I, I’m not good with words, I can’t really say much.”
Xu Qin quickly came to Lin Siyu’s rescue, “Alright, alright, you’re making the child embarrassed.”
“Say a few words, come on, the more embarrassed you are, the more you need to practice!” Li Jinshan took over the conversation, “What’s our situation right now? It’s a truly special period. During this time, everyone needs to try to grow so that we can all better face troubles that might come at any time.”
“Meiru, am I right?”
After Lin Siyu returned home last night, her mother Xu Qin came to sleep with her, and they talked until almost dawn. Xu Qin also explained some things that Siyu wasn’t very clear about.
So now, she fully understood the situation at home as well as the potential dangers in the future.
“That… alright then…” Looking at everyone’s expectant gaze, Lin Siyu cleared her throat, mustered her emotions, and said, “Um… I’ll say a few words. Thank you, thank you all for taking care of me during this time. I will also try to grow up quickly and take on my responsibilities as soon as possible.”
“Also, big brother, you’ve worked hard during this time.”
Lin Mo replied with a smile, “I’m not the only one who’s been working hard; everyone has had a tough time recently, especially certain people, who I’ve noticed often secretly wiping away tears.”
Although today’s intelligence report mentioned that Lin Siyu, due to her family’s reasons, wasn’t considering dating for the moment.
But Lin Mo felt that when necessary, why not just date.
Dangers needed to be dealt with, but life also had to go on, and besides, their current situation wasn’t particularly dangerous.
Chen Shanhe didn’t have the capability to find them among over a billion people after they had changed their appearances and identities.
So, Lin Mo wanted to play matchmaker between Lin Siyu and Zhang Li.
Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Zhang Li couldn’t stop grinning foolishly at the side, clearly delighted about something.
Lin Siyu gave Zhang Li an annoyed glance and then coquettishly complained to Lin Mo, “Brother! What are you doing!”
“Okay, okay, my fault for being nosy, it’s all my fault for being nosy.” Lin Mo quickly apologized, then laughingly asked, “Dads, can we eat now? I’m so hungry my stomach is flat.”
“Alright, let’s eat!”
“Sweetie, this is specially made for you to nourish your brain.”
“Daughter… try this.”
“Here, have some of this…”
“I’m telling you, this soup…”
“This dish was prepared by Zhang Li early in the morning.”
Because Lin Siyu had just woken up, everyone was taking very good care of her, and soon her plate was piled high with food.
Lin Siyu quickly waved her hands, “Too much, too much, no more, I’ve had enough, I really can’t eat anymore.”
Lin Mo made an indifferent comment, “If you can’t finish it, just give it to someone else, haha…”
Everyone else laughed along, with only Lin Siyu and Zhang Li blushing with embarrassment.
After the meal,
Xu Qin along with Zhao Huixian, Lin Changshui, and Li Jinshan were responsible for cleaning up the dishes. The younger ones wanted to help but were shooed away.
Helplessly,
they could only sit in the living room, beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, basking in the sun and chatting.
After talking for a while, Lin Mo sat down on a nearby sofa, took out his phone, and began reading some news about stocks and finance, especially from major world financial centers like New York, London, Zurich, and Chicago.
Afterwards, it wasn’t absolutely necessary for him to go to America; if he could get information from other places, then going to other countries was just as good.
In any case, he didn’t need to apply for a visa; he could just buy one on the dark web with money.
The news from overseas financial centers was mostly in English, and although some of it was translated, he still found many parts difficult to understand.
Lin Mo’s English was just average, and the machine translation wasn’t great either, so many times he couldn’t grasp the original meaning of some words.
Fortunately, Li Jinwen’s English was pretty good, so when Lin Mo came across words he didn’t recognize, he would go ask Li Jinwen.
Lin Mo was now the focus of the whole family.
Even if everyone else had things to do, they would still check on him from time to time.
Noticing that Lin Mo was asking Li Jinwen many questions, Lin Siyu became intrigued and curiously asked, “Brother, you seem to be researching stocks?”
“Yes, I’m learning.”
“Well, if you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. I know a bit.”
Hmm?
Lin Mo was taken aback, as he didn’t recall Lin Siyu having knowledge in this area. He asked in surprise, “You know about stocks?”
“Yep, when you were busy carrying floors every day, you probably never paid much attention to me. I used to work at the stock exchange.” Lin Siyu nodded and said, “Although I was only at the front desk, I’ve already been studying for financial certifications like the AFP and CFP for two years.”
Zhang Li chimed in as well, “Brother, it’s true what Meiru is saying. When she was working at the stock exchange, I saw her studying any time she had a chance. She was very diligent.”
Lin Mo nodded, “I see…”
In the days of carrying floors, indeed he was busy every day and didn’t have much energy to pay attention to his family members, only seeing his parents every few months.
He even had little time to spend with his wife and daughter.
Then, changing the subject, he looked towards Zhang Li, “I’ve been negligent as a brother, but you, young man, seem to be very attentive to her.”
“Cough…” Zhang Li coughed twice, awkwardly not sure how to respond.
“Brother, you’re not allowed to tease me anymore!” Lin Siyu’s cheeks were slightly red as she quickly changed the subject: “Just tell me what aspect you want to understand. Although I’m not a professional and only have half-baked knowledge, I still know some basics.”
