Chapter 92 Itchy Skin

  "Buzz, buzz, buzz..." Lin San's mobile phone suddenly started vibrating.

  Lin San took out his mobile phone and connected: "Hello?"

  "Lin San, where are you? Did you oversleep? Why haven't you come to school for class?" Rose's yelling voice came from the phone.

  Lin San slapped his forehead: "How could I have forgotten this, Lu Si, listen to me, I'm going back to my country to deal with some urgent matters and can't attend classes for the time being. Can you help me ask the school for a long leave?"

  "Have you returned home?" Ruth said in surprise: "Why didn't you give me a heads up?"

  "It was an emergency and I didn't have time," Lin San explained.

  "When are you coming back?" Ruth asked urgently.

  Lin San shook his head: "I also said it's not good, I reckon in the short term, I won't be going to America. Ruth, you focus on your studies, once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely go find you."

  "But..." Ruth wanted to say something else.

  "Alright, I still have some things to attend to here, let's talk about this later. I'll give you a call another day." With that, Lin San hung up the phone.

  Gujalan was still crying, her eyes were all red and swollen from crying.

  Lin San walked over and hugged Gu Jialan with a pained expression, saying softly: "Jialan, the dead cannot be brought back to life, let it go."

  Gǔ Jiālán was lying in Lín Sān Huái's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her body trembling slightly.

  Lin San stretched out his hand and gently stroked Gulan's back, soothing her in a warm voice.

  So Lin San held Gu Jialan in the emergency room for a whole night.

  Three days later.

  The funeral of Gu Changfeng was held at the Funeral Square.

  People with some status in Lanzhou all came to attend the funeral and presented a wreath, and some government officials also attended.

  At 3 pm, Gu Changfeng was sent to the crematorium for cremation, and then his ashes were sent to a cemetery in the suburbs.

  At that time, it was drizzling outside, Gu Jialan held the ashes box of Gu Changfeng in her arms and cried bitterly.

  Lin San held an umbrella and stood on one side, shielding Gu Jialan from the wind and rain.

  Dingsheng Group

  The 30th floor conference room is holding a board meeting.

  Gujalan sat in the chairman's seat, holding a cup of hot tea, silent.

  Lin Sanzhen sat on Gulan's left side, holding a pen in his hand and constantly rotating it.

  Several other executives of the company were seated on both sides of the conference table.

  "Miss Gu, I have a question for you," said General Manager Wang, looking straight at Gu Jialan.

  Gǔ Jiālán nodded: "Manager Wang, may I ask."

  "Director Wang pointed at Lin San: 'How can he be sitting here? As far as I know, he doesn't seem to be a person who understands the company's affairs.'"

  "Right, he's not qualified to sit here." The other few who understood nodded in agreement.

  Gu Jialan furrowed her brow: "There's something I forgot to tell everyone, I gave 10% of my shares under my name to Lin San."

  "What?" General Manager Wang was stunned for a moment.

  The other few who understood were also shocked.

  Lin San's expression was calm, as if he had known about Gu Jialan giving him shares all along.

  "From today on, Lin San is one of us, a member of the Ding Sheng Group. Does anyone have any other questions?" Gu Jialan said calmly.

  Director Wang curled up the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything else.

  The other executives all looked up to General Manager Wang as their leader. Seeing that General Manager Wang was not speaking, they also closed their mouths.

  Gently putting down the teacup, Gu Jialan looked around at everyone present and said, "I've gathered you all here today mainly to announce one thing." Pausing for a moment, she continued, "My father has passed away. The vacant position of chairman will be succeeded by me. I hope that in the future, everyone can give me more support in my work..."

  "Miss Gu is the only child of Chairman Gu, and it's natural for her to take over as chairman." Manager Wang took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff: "However, Miss Gu is still too young, and she doesn't have much experience. Managing the massive Ding Sheng Group will likely be quite difficult for her."

  Gu Jia Lan looked quietly at General Manager Wang: "General Manager Wang, just speak directly."

  After tapping his cigarette ash, General Manager Wang smiled and said: "I think the Ding Sheng Group needs to add a vice chairman to assist Miss Gu in managing the Ding Sheng Group."

  Gu Jialan narrowed her eyes and said faintly, "I wonder who General Manager Wang thinks is suitable to take on the role of deputy chairman?"

  "Hmm..." General Manager Wang licked his lips: "I also can't think of a suitable candidate for the time being."

  "I think General Manager Wang is very suitable for the position of Vice Chairman!" said Deputy General Manager Kang Tai.

  "I also agree with General Manager Wang as Deputy Chairman of the Board." Sales Director Liu Guangming nodded.

  "I agree!" chimed in Feng Changqing, the administrative director.

  Director Wang waved his hand and said with a humble tone: "What virtue or ability do I have to become the vice chairman..."

  "General Manager Wang is really too modest. With your ability, being the deputy chairman is absolutely more than enough." said Deputy General Manager Kang Tai.

  Sales Director Liu Guangming and Administrative Manager Feng Changqing also nodded in agreement.

  "This...," General Manager Wang said with a hint of embarrassment: "Since everyone is so insistent on me, if I decline again it would seem somewhat artificial..."

  Gu Jialan sneered and thought to herself: This General Manager Wang and the other three who understand things clearly are partnering up to act out a play, their goal is to take some power away from her, a group of despicable people.

  "Miss Gu, what do you think about General Manager Wang serving as Vice Chairman?" Sales Director Liu Guangming suddenly looked up at Gu Jialan.

  Gu Jialan slightly furrowed her brow and didn't say a word.

  "I think it's completely unnecessary for the company to set up a vice chairman position." Lin San suddenly spoke up.

  "Huh?" Liu Guangming's face sank: "Director Lin, what General Manager Wang said earlier was very clear. Miss Gu is too young and lacks experience, so she may not be able to manage the Ding Sheng Group well. That's why a vice chairman was set up to assist Miss Gu."

  Lin San sneered: "How can you be sure that Miss Gu is managing the company poorly? Can you predict the future?"

  "I'm also being cautious for the company's sake." Liu Guangming explained.

  "Bullshit!" Lin San curled his lip: "You're clearly bullying Miss Gu just because she's young and inexperienced!"

  "How dare you... how dare you scold people!" Liu Guangming's face turned iron-blue with anger.

  Lin San let out a cold snort, stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Guangming's nose: "I'm scolding you, what can you do about it!?"

  "You......" Liu Guangming's whole body trembled with anger, unable to utter a single word.

  "Director Lin, I hope you can pay attention to your words!" General Manager Wang said with a cold face.

  "For those shameless scoundrels who have no face, I am exactly this kind of vicious attitude."

  "Lin San! Don't be too arrogant!" Manager Wang slammed his hand on the table.

  Lin San also clapped the table, "Pa!" He stood up from his chair, staring at General Manager Wang: "What? Is your skin itching again?" As he spoke, Lin San deliberately shook his wrist.

  Manager Wang's body trembled, and he looked at Lin San with a mixture of fear and trepidation: "You... what do you want to do?" It was in this very office that Manager Wang had been slapped several times by Lin San last time. Faced with the overbearing and unreasonable Lin San, Manager Wang was indeed somewhat fearful. In fact, after being slapped last time, Manager Wang immediately spent money to hire a few thugs to take revenge on Lin San. However, those thugs were beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen, and one of them even had his arm broken. Later, Manager Wang again spent money to hire over a dozen strong and sturdy men to cause trouble for Lin San. But unexpectedly, all of those men ended up in the hospital. It was only then that Manager Wang realized that he couldn't deal with Lin San through violence, and could only think of other ways. Just as Manager Wang was thinking of strategies to deal with Lin San, Lin San suddenly flew abroad on a plane. Manager Wang was furious, shouting loudly and unable to sleep well for several days.

  "You'd better shut your stinking mouth, or I'll turn you into a pig's head!" A fierce and murderous aura flashed in Lin San's eyes.

  General Manager Wang shut his mouth tight and didn't dare say another word.

  "Adding a vice chairman is something I need to consider carefully. The meeting is dismissed." With that, Gu Jialan stood up and led Lin San out of the conference room.

  Lin San glared fiercely at General Manager Wang as he left, scaring General Manager Wang so much that he almost fell off his chair.

  Back in his own office, Gu Jialan looked at Lin San with admiration: "Lin San, you're really formidable, scaring the general manager Wang into not daring to speak."

  Lin San walked over to the sofa and sat down, pulled out a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth: "This is called evil people will be ground by other evil people." After finishing speaking, he still pretended to be handsome and shook his hair, but unfortunately, his hair was too short and didn't shake out the ideal arc.

  "Alas..." Gu Jialan suddenly sighed.

  "What's wrong?" Lin San looked at Gu Jialan with confusion.

  Gujalan walked over and sat down beside Lin San, his face full of worry as he said: "Now all the people who understand things are not obeying me, in the future it will be very difficult for me to manage the company."

  Lin San smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, with me here, they can't stir up too much trouble."

  Gu Jialan slightly furrowed her brow and didn't say a word.

  "Let's go watch a movie tonight, I heard the cinema has introduced many Hollywood blockbusters." Lin San saw that Gu Jialan was unhappy and thought of taking her out to lift her mood.

  "Not going, I'm very tired today and want to go home and sleep early." Gu Jialan shook her head slightly.

  "Alright then, I'll send you home after work." Lin San said.

  Gujalan nodded.

  The day passed very quickly.

  After work in the evening, Lin San personally drove Gulan back home.

  "Lin San, stay here tonight." Gu Jialan looked at Lin San with expectation.

  Lin San was taken aback, licking his lips: "This..."

  "Stay behind, I'm really lonely at night." Gu Jialan reached out and gently pulled on Lin San's sleeve.

  Lin San nodded after a moment of contemplation: "Alright, I'll stay with you tonight!"

  "You're really great!" A faint smile appeared on Gu Jialan's face.

  "You're smiling." Lin San exclaimed with surprise. Since Gu Changfeng's passing, Gu Jialan had been wearing a gloomy face every day and hadn't smiled again.

  Gujalan reached out and touched his own face: "Is it strange for me to smile?"

  "Ah! No wonder, no wonder, you look the prettiest when you smile. You should smile more often from now on!" Lin San said with a smile.

  At this time, the nanny walked in from outside and bowed respectfully: "Young lady, you're back."

  "Uh-huh, Wu Ma, make some more dishes tonight. Lin San is staying for dinner." Gu Jialan instructed.

  The nanny replied and turned into the kitchen.
