"Is this kid really brave enough to say that?"

Xu Lin’s livestream interview, Ms. Ren was also watching.

While proud of Xu Lin, Ms. Ren couldn’t help but feel worried.

Because Xu Lin was too daring with his words.

Ms. Ren feared Xu Lin might get into trouble.

There are many things that are better kept in your heart, unsaid, regardless of whether you’re at home or abroad.

But Xu Lin, this determined materialist warrior, dared to speak out.

The so-called materialism is not just in opposition to idealism.

Materialism includes dialectical materialism and historical materialism. Historical materialism argues that history is not created by a few heroic figures, like so-called emperors and generals. Sorry, history is not created by you, but by the vast majority of ordinary people, although history books do not record them.

Thus, Xu Lin stands in opposition to capitalists and interest groups.

He is a staunch supporter of the people’s historical perspective.

This is why Xu Lin was impassioned with his words.

After Xu Lin’s livestream interview concluded, Ms. Ren immediately called him.

"Xu Lin, you are too brave to say those things, I’m afraid you might get into trouble."

Ms. Ren was very worried.

"Don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble. My child hasn’t been born yet."

"Is Hanhan pregnant?"

"I meant in the future."

"Go away! I thought Hanhan was pregnant."

Pregnancy during college is no longer an unusual situation in this era.

After chatting with Ms. Ren for a few minutes, Xu Lin reassured her.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Xu Lin said these things, the Moon God as an Intelligent Life holds immense, incalculable interests, and all the big players around the world have their eyes on him, trying to share a piece of the pie with Xu Lin.

Historically, if a person had a hundred thousand troops, and instead of seeking to rule the world, he only thought about enjoying a peaceful corner, then, what were his subordinates to do? We need to be made marquises and ministers. Buddy, you are not thinking about becoming an emperor? What’s going on?

The result would be either you become the emperor or you are eliminated, knocked into inferno to make room for others. Once you are in that position, you are no longer at liberty.

"The situation will become more complicated in the future. Once my Virtual World comes out, we’ll have to share some technology; otherwise, problems will arise."

The cake has to be shared, eating alone makes you an easy target, it’s a rule.

Nonetheless, Xu Lin remained quite calm.

After the livestream, Xu Lin exchanged pleasantries with a group of officials on site at CCTV.

And then he left the building.

His brother-in-law, Pei Guanyun, was outside waiting to pick him up.

Initially, Pei Guanyun was definitely not content when he first met Xu Lin, because Xu Lin was younger than him, yet his sister looked favorably on him, hinting at his sister being taken away by this younger punk.

At the time, Xu Lin seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen, while Pei Guanyun was twenty-two.

How could Pei Guanyun endure that? Calling him brother-in-law?

Yet later, Xu Lin became more and more powerful, now to an unparalleled level.

Pei Guanyun might not catch up even if he struggled for ten lifetimes.

Despite being born into an exceptionally good background.

Now Pei Guanyun was greatly impressed by Xu Lin.

Thus, when he saw Xu Lin appear, Pei Guanyun politely and proactively opened the passenger side door.

"Brother-in-law, please get in the car. It’s cold outside."

Indeed, the Capital City was colder at night, and the wind was quite strong, blowing gustily.

Only Xu Lin’s strong constitution spared him from needing more layers.

Once Xu Lin got in the car, Pei Guanyun quickly closed the door and returned to the driver’s seat.

Soon, the car was moving.

Tonight, they were heading to Pei Danqing’s house, though not the courtyard.

She also had a place where she lived with her parents, in a cadre residential area in the Capital City.

Originally, Pei Danqing planned to pick Xu Lin up herself, but Pei Guanyun voluntarily offered to pick him up, so she let him do it.

"Brother-in-law, you mentioned earlier that you’ll start a company next year?"

"Yes."

Xu Lin knew he surely had something to say.

"Then brother-in-law, could I possibly join for training next year?"

"I won’t open the door for you to become a leader unless you truly have capability."

"My dad mentioned I should ask you, to start from a regular position for training."

"Your dad, huh."

Ugh!

Pei Danqing’s father, Pei Lingyun, was someone Xu Lin had met before.

Now he knew Pei Danqing’s man was himself, and he also knew Xu Lin had Chi Linyue as a woman.

Meaning his daughter and colleague Chi Boyan’s daughter serve one husband.

Can Pei Lingyun put up with that?

"Yes, my dad said it."

"Next year then, start from the bottom, if you’re capable, we’ll give you a promotion."

Xu Lin said, "Just to be clear, I don’t play favorites, even if you’re my brother-in-law. I don’t want my business to become a family workshop."

Xu Lin envisioned having his children take over his business once they grow up.

That’s what is meant by blood ties.

Of course, the children taking over his business must be capable and have integrity; if incapable, they’d just quietly enjoy life with money. If morally unsound, they shouldn’t be given power, Xu Lin doesn’t want his descendants to harm society.

On the other hand, not all leaders can be his children, he doesn’t have that many children.

For leadership, Xu Lin needs capable people, whether they’re family, relatives, or outsiders, as long as they have the ability to operate the machine, which is very important.

"Brother-in-law, you’re right. I’ll work hard when the time comes!"

Pei Guanyun nodded quickly, though Xu Lin was unaware that deep inside, Pei Guanyun admired him greatly.
