What Xia Lin didn't know was that if it were in accordance with Xiao Jinyu's previous temper, those who gossiped would surely have been punished. However, since he got together with Xia Lin two years ago, Xiao Jinyu had gradually noticed his temper getting better. It was precisely because of his improved temper that the company's employees had become bolder than before.
Xiao Jinyu had work to do, so he asked his secretary to show Xia Lin around. Xia Lin took a few glances at the secretary, which made the secretary curiously ask, "Young Master Xia? What's up?"
Xia Lin smiled and joked, "It's nothing. I always thought that the secretaries of presidents and chairmen were all beautiful women. I didn't expect..."
The secretary smiled and added, "Didn't expect it to be a rough guy like me, right?"
Xia Lin immediately shook his head. "Brother, you're a good-looking and outstanding man. You're no rough guy."
"Hahaha, thanks for the compliment, Young Master Xia."
"Don't call me Young Master anymore. It makes me feel awkward. Just call me by my name, Xia Lin."
"Okay. Since you're so kind, you can just call me by my name too..."
The secretary showed Xia Lin around many places, including the employees working through the glass windows, the company cafeteria, the balcony on the top floor of the company, and various departments.
"Xia Lin, the chairman usually has lunch around this time. Do you want to go back and find the chairman?"
"Yeah."
The secretary sent Xia Lin back. Before leaving, he smiled and said goodbye to Xia Lin. Xia Lin then told Xiao Jinyu, "I found that I got along well with your secretary. We even added each other as friends."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyu gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, he doesn't take his work seriously. I'm going to deduct his year - end bonus."
Xia Lin knew that Xiao Jinyu wasn't serious. It was just out of jealousy. "Are you jealous again? Xiao Jinyu, are you a vinegar jar?"
Xiao Jinyu hugged Xia Lin. "If you say I'm a vinegar jar, then so be it. Anyway, I just say what I think."
Xia Lin tapped Xiao Jinyu on the head. "Be serious. What do you mean by 'husband'? I want you to become a good person, not a fool."
Xiao Jinyu looked up at Xia Lin. "Do you really want me to give up my underworld business and become a normal businessman?"
Xia Lin nodded. "Jinyu, I know you're very capable and powerful. But what I really hope is that you can turn over a new leaf... No, it's not that I think you're not a good person. But when you're involved in the underworld business, I'll be very worried about you. I'm afraid your enemies will keep increasing. I'm afraid that being exposed to those dark things every day will distort your character. I..."
Xiao Jinyu covered Xia Lin's mouth with his hand, sighed, and looked at Xia Lin with doting eyes. "Okay, I see. I understand your thoughts very clearly."
If it were the Xiao Jinyu before he met Xia Lin, if someone had asked him to give up his underworld business, he would probably have given a cold smile and then ordered his subordinates to throw that person into the sea.
But now, Xia Lin was his life. There was no doubt that life was more important than business. Moreover, Xiao Jinyu didn't have any deep - seated attachment to the underworld business. He had just inherited his father's property and status. His self - esteem didn't allow him to do worse than his father, so he had become a top figure in both the white and black worlds.
After getting together with Xia Lin, Xiao Jinyu felt that he was becoming more and more calm. His temper had indeed improved, and his way of doing things had gradually become more gentle. More importantly, Xiao Jinyu had already planned in his heart to hand over the burden of his underworld business to the successor he had chosen.
