C429 How to Fail
"Good!" "You continue to investigate Taoist Qingming's whereabouts. When the chance comes, I'll chat with Lin Xuan ~"
Even though the old man was a little anxious to find the abandoned baby from Lin Family twenty years ago, he was still active and not impatient.
Because towards the abandoned infant Lin Family, ever since they were abandoned by Lin Family, they had already caused irreparable harm.
Even if they found it now, it didn't mean that the damage would be reduced by much.
After so many years, the old tutor had expended countless people's wealth and resources to find out the news of Lin Family abandoning the Nascent Soul.
Even if his ability was so strong, it was all for naught.
Of course, such a search was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Wanting to find the abandoned infant in the vast sea of people was easier said than done.
Initially, after searching for so many years, the old man had already given up until Lin Xuan appeared.
On this young man's body, he saw so many familiar figures. There were even many times when the old man thought that Lin Xuan was his eldest grandson who had abandoned the Lin Family twenty years ago.
The reason why he was so anxious to find Lin Family and abandon his Nascent Soul was partly because he was already old. His Lin Family International Bank, and even the entire Lin Clan, required someone to inherit it.
On the other hand, he had always felt that Lin Yu wasn't the most suitable successor. Whether it was vision or mental fortitude, Lin Yu was not qualified to be the Patriarch of Lin Family.
After all, for a First-class Family at the top of China, inheritors must be both virtuous and talented, and possess strong points.
How could the old man not know Lin Yu's strengths and weaknesses?
If there was no better candidate, Lin Yu could only inherit the Lin Family's family business.
This was also what the Lin Family, Second Old Masterzi and Lin Yuan had hoped for.
Because in Lin Li's and Lin Yuan's generation, Lin Yuan always felt that his ability far surpassed Lin Li's. But because Lin Li was the eldest son of Lin Family, Lin Li was the true crown prince.
According to Lin Yuan's intentions, it wasn't impossible to cripple an entire generation.
At least he was much more outstanding than Lin Li.
In fact, under the control of Masterzi, the Lin family was flourishing, and there was even a blowout phenomenon.
Or rather, in the thousands of years since his Lin Family International Bank had been passed down, he was one of the most outstanding chairman in Old Master Lin Li's hands.
It could even be said that the Lin Family was an ancient family, and among the masters, there were naturally many outstanding people.
Only under the leadership of the outstanding Patriarchs could the Lin Family be passed on to this day.
When it came to Lin Li's generation, he encouraged them to lead the Lin Clan towards prosperity, allowing them to establish themselves in the World Bank's forest and become extremely competitive.
What made the lordmaster's heart ache was that amongst his sons, they were all good-for-nothings who ate, drank, and had fun.
Even though he was forced to do so, he had arranged for his son to hold important positions in some of the branch departments of Lin Family International Bank.
However, the old man was very clear that none of his sons had a suitable successor.
Therefore, the honored tutor had placed his hopes on his grandchildren from the very beginning.
Unfortunately, when his eldest grandson was born, he was treated as a bane and abandoned.
In the end, it was a fortunate thing to have a grandson like Lin Yu.
From the Lin Family up and down, all hope rested on Lin Yu.
It could be said that Lin Yu grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth. No matter how important the old man was, Lin Yu always had the temperament of a popinjay.1
Such a person, lack of a broad vision, lack of broad pattern, will be a constraint on the development of Lin Yu.
Even though the old man had corrected Lin Yu time and time again, the result wasn't too good.
For people like Lin Yu, once he becomes the Patriarch of the Lin Family and the chairman of the Lin Family International Bank, he would inevitably become arrogant and complacent.
This was what the old tutor could foresee.
According to the teachings of the Lin Clan's ancestors, when the children become adults and have enough ability, they would be equivalent to the emperors of ancient times establishing princes and emperors.
In other words, the selection for the successor had already been made clear.
However, this time, the heir to the Lin Clan's Patriarch's position was still in the limelight.
No matter if it was within the family or outside, everyone thought that Lin Yu was the best choice.
However, the old man never gave any orders, or rather formally announced that Lin Yu was the successor.
"Old master, Young Master Yu's side …" Lin Cai continued to speak after hesitating for a while.
The old man took a deep breath, holding a white piece in his hand. He held it in the air and didn't fall for a long time, "Cai, do you know why I suddenly get addicted to playing chess?"
Lin Cai smiled in relief, "I presume the old man wants to express something. Both the back and palm of his hand are made of meat. It's not right to side over each other. You are trying to find a balance."
"Yes, I tried to see Bai as Yu and Hei Zi as Lin Xuan. I wanted to see them as a game of chess, with me personally practicing the game. There is no bias between them and it is fair and square."
"But no matter how I play chess, it's hard to find a balanced approach. Bai Zi's Yu enjoys the Lin Clan's glory, while Hei Zi's Lin Xuan has been despised by the world, and has been scolded as a trash's son-in-law. "
"However, Lin Xuan's powerful light finally tore apart the haze of sunlight and dark clouds. That is the time for him to shine."
"I've been thinking time and time again that if Yu had Lin Xuan's ability, I would immediately give him the position of the successor."
"Cai, you have followed me for so many years. You know my way of life, I pursue the perfectionist to the utmost."
"Yu is not the perfect person that I have always been looking forward to …"
The old tutor had opened up his heart to this loyal steward and told him all the grievances in his heart.
"Master, what if Lin Xuan isn't the eldest young master?"
Lin Cai voiced out his worries.
The old man smiled in relief, "Cai, Lin Xuan, this young man has endless potential. Regardless of whether he is the abandoned baby from Lin Family or not, it's still worth making friends with."
"Yes, master. As long as you decide something, I will support you."
The old man turned the white piece over in his hand, "If he falls, the result will be the result. It will be very difficult to put down this piece!"
Lin Cai naturally knew what the old man was worried about. If he really did find out about Lin Xuan's background, it meant that he had abandoned the Lin Family twenty years ago. This meant that he had to return to inherit the Lin Family 'family inheritance.
This was also to say that Lin Li did not wish to see Lin Yu and his brothers fight over the inheritance of Lin Family.
Even though Lin Yu's ability was lacking and he had many shortcomings, he still did not want to witness the enmity between brothers.
If Lin Xuan was confirmed to be the heir to Lin Family, no matter what, Lin Yu would fight over him.
"Old master, don't worry. After all, this is only a game of chess and not the fate of Young Master Yu and the young master. "Perhaps the eldest young master has already passed away …"
