Just a puppet?

 "Yes, I just spent a billion dollars and bought all the shares of the Lin Group." Lin Zhiming said, his mouth slightly tinged with a teasing smile.

 "What a big spender!" Yao Tianlong couldn't help but marvel.

 One billion wasn't scary, what was scary was one billion in cash, nowadays, even for those companies with a market capitalization of ten billion dollars, who would be able to take out one billion in cash?

 "Now, I want to ask you, what did you just say to my daughter-in-law?" Lin Zhiming stared at Yao Tianlong and asked.

 "Lin Zhiming, what's your tone, that's Yao Jing's grandfather as well as yours! Is there any respect in your eyes anymore?" Yao Jing's mother, Zhou Yanqiu, scolded sternly.

 "Elderly? How dare you call yourselves honorable? When a company encounters problems in development, you don't look for your own reasons, instead you let the women of the family sell their bodies, is this something that you honored elders do? If this is considered honorable, then in my eyes, I really don't have honorable elders like you!" Lin Zhiming said with a haughty face.

 His behavior like this shocked everyone once again, one must know that before, Lin Zhiming had always shown himself as a weak and incompetent face, how come now he was like taking gunpowder and dared to dislike anyone?

 "Lin Zhiming, you're reckless, I'm your mother!" Zhou Yanqiu pointed at Lin Zhimian, shaking with anger.

 "You're my mom? If you were my mom, would you persuade my daughter-in-law to divorce me? I, Lin Zhiming, have only had one mom since I was a child, and you, Zhou Yanqiu, have no fucking qualifications to be my mom!" Lin Zhiming arrogantly said.

 "Zhiming, don't be so angry, we've all calmed down. We're all family." Yao Jing's father, Yao Jianyong, who didn't have much presence on the side, came out to round up the situation.

 "I don't have your kind of family, today is really not afraid to tear my face off, I tell you, what bullshit Tianjiao group's executive president, my daughter-in-law is not inappropriate, Lin's group and Tianjiao group's all cooperation is also all terminated! Daughter-in-law, go!" Lin Zhimian said, grabbed Yao Jing's hand and walked out.

 Yao Jing, who had always been tough, had no reaction at all, and was grabbed by Lin Zhimian's hand and walked out of the office.

 Inside the office, everyone was dumbfounded.

 "What kind of sin did I create, to find such a son-in-law!" Zhou Yanqiu was so angry that she slapped herself on the table.

 "Don't be angry wife, calm down, it's normal for young people to have a bit of a temper." Yao Jianyong comforted from the side.

 "Grandpa, this Lin Zhiming is too not putting us in his eyes, there is also Yao Jing, Lin Zhiming has scolded us so much, she even didn't stop Lin Zhiming, this is obviously turning his elbow outwards, grandpa!" Yao Shanchuan said excitedly.

 "Lin Zhiming, still really thinks of himself as number one? This guy from birth to now, more than twenty years, has always been a soft egg, I really don't believe that he can do the thing that hibernates for decades and rises up in a single day, not to mention him, normal people who can't possibly do it, ironically there is some kind of Lin family's enemy who has supported him, so that he can have that money to take down the Lin family group, I think that he will soon lose the use of his value, and will be discarded by the people, and then see what kind of madness he can be into! Shanchuan, pass on my order, remove Yao Jing from her position as executive president, expel her from Tianjiao Group, and you will be the company's executive president from now on!" Yao Tianlong said coldly.

 "Yes, Grandpa, I will definitely lead the company to a better tomorrow!" Yao Shanchuan said excitedly, he waited for many years, finally he waited for this opportunity, at this moment his heart was incomparably grateful to Lin Zhiming, if not for Lin Zhiming's sudden madness, where would he have become the executive president this suddenly?

 "Dad, you don't ah, Jing Jing there I will go to say again, hope you can give her another chance, she must be Lin Zhiming that boy to coerce, must be!" Zhou Yanqiu shouted excitedly when she saw that her daughter's position as executive president was going to be gone.

 "Whenever Yao Jing kneels in front of me with Lin Zhiming and apologizes to me, when will I consider letting her back into the company again." Yao Tianlong said coldly.

 "That bastard Lin Zhiming, I will definitely not forgive him!" Zhou Yanqiu gritted her teeth and stomped her foot in indignation.

 Just then, a company employee pushed open the door and walked in.

 "Chairman, news just came from Lin's group's side, they've terminated all cooperation with us." The clerk said.

 "Terminate it, terminate it, Lin's group is now in a state of turmoil and may go bankrupt at any time, cooperating with us, at least they can still have some income, now that they are seeking their own death, then we don't need to care about them, now our key cooperation object is the Li family, understand?" Yao Tianlong asked.

 "Understood!" Yao Shanchuan nodded with a smile and said, "I will definitely improve my relationship with the Li family!"

 On the other side.

 Lin Zhiming pulled Yao Jing's hand, walked through the work area, and took the elevator.

 In the elevator, Yao Jing said faintly, "Happy?"

 "Well, cool, especially cool!" Lin Zhiming nodded.

 "What about the consequences? Considered it?" Yao Jing asked again.

 "I touched my own daughter-in-law's hand, what consequences do I have to consider?" Lin Zhiming asked.

 "Hm?" Yao Jing froze slightly for a moment, then figured out that, dare Lin Zhiming said that it was especially pleasurable, he was referring to the matter of touching his own hand.

 "When did you become oily?" Yao Jing frowned and pulled her hand out of Lin Zhiming's.

 "I was just trying to lighten the mood." Lin Zhiming smiled awkwardly.

 "A person's maturity lies in his ability to control his emotions." Yao Jing said.

 "Got it... right, you just now, why didn't you stop me?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously, with Yao Jing's calm character, she would have definitely stopped herself when she exploded.

 "My husband stood up for me, why should I stop?" Yao Jing asked back.

 "Then you're still saying that I didn't think about the consequences...didn't you think about it too?" Lin Zhiming asked.

 "I actually, long ago, didn't want to do it." Yao Jing looked at the falling floors on the elevator in front of her and said calmly, "Your appearance just gave me the opportunity."

 Lin Zhiming froze for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile.

 Half of his outburst just now was because he really wanted to stand up for Yao Jing, and the other half was to worsen his relationship with the Yao family, making the relationship between the two irreconcilable, so that under the pressure of the Yao family, Yao Jing would have to divorce herself if she didn't want to.

 In the end, how could I have thought that it would instead fulfill Yao Jing's wishes.

 He boasts that he can see through the world, but he can't see through Yao Jing. This woman who doesn't love him at all, why is she willing to resist the pressure and cynicism of so many people to be with her?

 "I'll go work at your company." Yao Jing suddenly said.

 "Hmm?" Lin Zhiming froze for a moment, once again confused about Yao Jing's thoughts.

 "I won't let you just be a puppet." Yao Jing said calmly.

 A puppet?

 Lin Zhiming looked at Yao Jing with dismay, and then realized that Yao Jing was afraid that she thought that there must be someone behind her who could afford to buy the Lin Group, and that she was just a puppet of that person behind her.

 According to normal logic, it was right to think this way, because it was impossible for a person who had been a softie for more than twenty years to take out a billion dollars.

 "This matter, let's talk about it." Lin Zhiming said, his aim was still to divorce Yao Jing, so he didn't really want Yao Jing to work in his company.

 Lin Zhiming's words in Yao Jing's mouth, then even more solidified his identity as a puppet, because if Lin Zhiming is really the chairman of the company, then arranging for her to go to work is not a matter of minutes, as to have to say again?

 With a ding-dong sound, the elevator doors opened.

 "I'm going to buy groceries." Yao Jing said as she walked outside.

 Lin Zhiming hesitated for a moment and walked towards his car.

 The two of them had one car each and left the parking lot one after another.

 "Young master, that woman, went to the suburban detention center." Dong Jian's voice came from within Lin Zhiming's cell phone.

 "The people behind that woman, have they made any moves yet?" Lin Zhiming asked while driving and holding his cell phone.

 "Not yet." Dong Jian said.

 "I see, keep an eye on them." Lin Zhiming said.

 "Yes!"

 Meanwhile, on the other side.

 Inside the Straits City Detention Center.

 Shen Hongyue and Lin Zhixing sat opposite each other.

 Lin Zhixing looked somewhat similar to Lin Zhiming, but was much taller than Lin Zhiming.

 "From the current situation, there is definitely someone behind Lin Zhiming, and this person, most likely, is the one who got you in, son, don't worry, mom will definitely not let the person who hurt you get away with it!" Shen Hong Yue grabbed Lin Zhi Xing's hand and said through gritted teeth.

 "Lin Zhiming this bastard, I should have gotten him killed in the first place!" Lin Zhixing said with killing intent in his eyes.

 "It's fine, son, what Lin Zhiming and the people behind him bought is just a Lin's Group that's about to go bankrupt, when the punishment decision comes down in a few days, the Lin's Group might not even be worth a hundred million dollars, at that time, I'd like to see if that Lin Zhiming is still crazy! Soft egg, always a soft egg! Son you are the best person in our Lin family!" Shen Hong Yue said.

 "Then when can I go out?" Lin Zhixing asked.

 "Just wait, your grandpa has already helped you move around in the upper echelons, soon, you'll be able to go out!" Shen Hongyue said.

 "The day I go out, will be the day Lin Zhiming disappears from this world!" Lin Zhi Xing said with a cold light in his eyes, this time, he wouldn't let his brother get away with living like last time.

 Lin family's old mansion.

 This seven-story building located in the city's old town was once the symbol of the Lin family's status in the entire Straits City.

 This building was built over forty years ago, after Lin Zhiming's grandfather had made his fortune, and there were still quite a few members of the Lin family living here, but because it was located in the old city center, the core members of the Lin family had already moved to their respective mansions in the center of the city, and the ones who lived here were the fringe of the Lin family and the elderly.

 Lin Zhiming drove his Hyundai Elantra into the courtyard.

 Inside the courtyard, a few members of the Lin family who were chatting and farting around saw Lin Zhiming arrive, and there were playful smiles on each other's faces.
