146: Chapter 146 Lin Wanrou's Favorability Soars

After accompanying Lin Xiaojin for a nap, Qin Ge drove her to work.

Upon arriving at the company, Qin Ge summoned Zhou Mei and instructed her to lighten Lin Xiaojin's workload.

After all, Lin Xiaojin was unwilling to resign, so Qin Ge could only keep her at the company to slack off.

However, Qin Ge hadn't expected that just after Zhou Mei helped unload some of her burden, Lin Xiaojin would go and take on another batch from her colleagues.

By lunchtime, she was busy as a bee again.

As Lin Xiaojin put it, "I'm drawing a salary from the company, so I can't just slack off. Besides, Qin Ge, you're so busy and tired, I want to share some of the load with you."

Even Qin Ge, seeing this scene, couldn't help but sigh; Lin Xiaojin truly had the natural constitution of a workhorse!

This job—as long as it doesn't kill her, she'll work herself to death?!

Qin Ge called out to Lin Xiaojin to go eat, but she said she needed to work for another five minutes.

Just as Qin Ge was about to feign anger, Bai Jing, dressed in revealing attire, pulled him aside to report on her tasks.

Over an hour later, after Qin Ge had finished his rounds, he came to the Operations and Maintenance Area and found that Lin Xiaojin was actually still working at her computer desk!

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Qin Ge announced that the whole company would get off work early and locked the company computers, that Lin Xiaojin obediently went home to rest.

...

"Xiao Jin, she really is a once-in-a-millennium find!"

On the way to the banquet hosted by the Lin family, Qin Ge lay back on the leather seat, muttering to himself in admiration.

Qiao Yingzi, gripping the steering wheel, thought Lin Xiaojin's head was a bit strange and said, "Ever since Miss Lin started her internship, she's been more proactive than the average employee. Ever since she met President Qin, she's been even more energetic, like she's been injected with chicken blood."

Qiao Yingzi felt it was absurd and said, "Is it possible that Miss Lin is addicted to working?"

Qin Ge was amused, shook his head, and didn't answer.

As the vehicle came to a stop, Qin Ge had just stepped out when he was immediately surrounded by the Lin Family members.

The entire Lin family villa was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and there were even red banners draped everywhere, boldly displaying slogans welcoming President Qin and President Jiang.

Jiang Yingxue had deliberately not come, so Qin Ge was naturally the only guest of honor!

Lin Wanrou, waiting outside the door, was wearing a modified cheongsam that made her curves appear even more exquisite and graceful.

The moment she saw Qin Ge, her gentle eyes were filled with emotion.

"Daddy, it's Daddy!"

Upon seeing Qin Ge get out of the car, Lin Guoguo tugged at Lin Wanrou and hurried toward him.

Before they had taken many steps, they were pushed to the back by the swarm of Lin Family members rushing forward.

"President Qin, our Lin family has been waiting day and night, and we've finally managed to welcome you here!"

"Please rest assured, our Lin Group will never let you down; we will definitely complete the order on time and in full."

"It's hot outside, please come inside; the food and drinks are already prepared!"

Old Master Lin, leaning on a cane, stood at the very front of all the direct descendants of the Lin family, fawningly extending an invitation.

The other direct descendants of the Lin family scrambled to make an impression in front of Qin Ge.

Some of the women from the Lin family even brazenly winked at Qin Ge right in front of him.

The posture they struck suggested that if Qin Ge were to nod, they would immediately invite him into their trap!

Qin Ge swept a cold gaze over them.

The situation before him was entirely within his expectations.

As a Great Villain, wasn't he sought after by everyone wherever he went?

"Move aside!"

Qin Ge gave a cold shout and walked through the path that the Lin Family members had voluntarily cleared, heading toward the fallen Lin Guoguo.

He helped Lin Guoguo up and asked in a soft voice, "Did you hurt yourself?"

"It hurts, Guoguo hurts!"

Lin Guoguo pouted at Qin Ge, her chubby little face filled with grievance as she spread out her tiny, fleshy hands, "Daddy hug, Daddy hug and it won't hurt anymore!"

"Alright, I'll hold you, I'll hold you, okay?"

Qin Ge glanced at Lin Wanrou, who was dressed exceptionally gently tonight, took Lin Guoguo into his arms, stood beside her, and said softly, "Shall we go in?"

"Mm!"

Lin Wanrou pursed her lips and gave a gentle, soft affirmative.

As the three of them walked into the Lin family's main hall, the banquet inside had already been set up in advance, filled with festive cheer and lanterns.

Attendants were already waiting on the side, ready to serve the dishes.

Qin Ge glanced indifferently at the main seat at the front, where his nameplate was placed, and asked Lin Guoguo, "I'll sit at the table with Guoguo, where are you sitting?"

Lin Guoguo shook her little head, "Guoguo doesn't know either."

As Qin Ge looked at Lin Wanrou, she lowered her head in slight embarrassment, "There are no seats for us here."

"No seats for you?"

Qin Ge furrowed his brows and looked coldly in the direction of Old Master Lin.

Gulp!

Old Master Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva in terror, backhanded Lin Hu with a heavy slap, spraying saliva all over Lin Hu's face, and scolded, "Where is Wanrou's seat? Are you crazy? Why didn't you arrange a seat for Wanrou?! In your eyes, is Wanrou not a member of our Lin family?!"

Lin Hu covered his red, swollen cheek, cursing inwardly that this old geezer was quite strong for his age; that slap really hurt!

He had deliberately not disclosed the relationship between Lin Wanrou and Qin Ge within the Lin family, specifically so that Qin Ge would know it wasn't just him targeting Lin Wanrou, but the entire Lin family.

Who would have thought that by hiding the relationship between Qin Ge and Lin Wanrou, he would be the one to suffer in the end?

"It's a misunderstanding, Sister Wanrou, isn't this just a misunderstanding? Your seat is at the main table, it's just that for our own family, we didn't arrange nameplates."

Lin Hu stepped forward fawningly, leading Qin Ge and Lin Wanrou to take their seats at the main table.

Old Master Lin looked at Lin Wanrou, who was sitting beside Qin Ge, and said with a kindly smile, "Wanrou, previously it was Grandpa who wanted to temper you. I never expected that even I would be amazed by the resilience in your bones."

"Starting tomorrow, you don't need to continue gaining experience outside anymore. Come back to work at the Lin Group; the position of President of the Lin Group has always been reserved for you!"

Lin Kun, Lin Wanrou's uncle and the current President of the Lin Group, felt the world turn black before his eyes.

He thought about saying something, but upon seeing Qin Ge, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He smiled fawningly at Lin Wanrou and said, "Wanrou, you must be the President! Among us in the Lin Group, only you and Wanqing have the highest qualifications! Now that your sister doesn't know where she's gone, this President position belongs to no one but you!"

Lin Wanrou looked at the Lin Family members, whose attitudes had undergone such a drastic change, and felt an intense bitterness in her heart.

How could she not know the true faces of the Lin Family members?

The reason they changed so quickly was simply because Qin Ge was currently sitting beside her.

They were all putting on a show for Qin Ge!

Just now, Qin Ge must have done that on purpose, right? After the incident with Lin Hu, he knew I had been suffering from cold shoulders in the Lin family, and when Guoguo called him Daddy, he deliberately didn't deny it...

Lin Wanrou gazed at Qin Ge, who was picking up food for Guoguo beside her.

Looking at his handsome and resolute profile, she felt increasingly moved and bitter in her heart.

Over these years, she, a woman, had been raising her sister's daughter, having to prevent Guoguo from suspecting anything while also enduring the cold treatment from the Lin family.

She had suffered far too many grievances!

No matter how much bitterness she felt inside, she could only hide under her covers in the middle of the night and cry silently.

She dared not tell anyone, and she dared not tell these 'relatives' of the Lin family!

Even with her there, Guoguo was still called a bastard by others.

If she told the Lin family the truth, not only would Guoguo be forcibly separated from her, but even she herself might become a bargaining chip for the Lin family to cling to the powerful!

Fortunately!

Now, she had met Qin Ge!

She had met a man willing to stand in front of her and shield her from the wind and rain!

"Wanrou, why didn't you tell us before that Guoguo's father is President Qin?"

"If we had known earlier, how would Grandpa have allowed those rumors and gossip behind the Lin family's back to grow so rampant?!"

Old Master Lin looked at Lin Wanrou and asked, sounding as if he were lamenting her lack of foresight.

Just then, a loud voice rang out from outside the Lin family's gate, "Guoguo's father is me, and Wan'er's husband is also me! Not the President Qin you speak of!!!"
