It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

September 12th in China.

Saturday.

I received a message last night and arranged a video call at 9 o'clock this morning. The man finally remembered that today was his son's birthday in the Gregorian calendar. Although Lin's mother couldn't help but mutter a few words and had to schedule a video, her airs were the same as the US president. Balabala, when the time came, the whole family gathered in the mansion on the west bank of West Lake, just hoping to say hello to someone.

"I just weighed it in the morning, 12.6 kg, 25 catties, which is much heavier than when the average child is one year old. Anyway, my mother said that my brothers and sisters couldn't compare when they were one year old. Also, you see, I have grown two more teeth recently, and it hurts to bite people."

"Bite you?"

"Yes..." Lin Su said as she noticed the playful expression of the man opposite, she reacted, glared at him, then shyly diverted her attention, lowered her head to the little guy in her arms and said, "Qianshu, call him dad, dad-dad-dad-"

"dad."

"Yeah," Simon agreed with a smile: "Scream again."

The little guy also showed that Simon's children generally surpassed ordinary children's intelligence and spoke clearly. Even if he was a little restrained in front of this man who always had to be seen through video calls, he still shouted obediently again: "Dad."

Lin Su was very satisfied with the small interaction between the father and son and blurted out: "Ask your father, when will you come to see you?"

This sentence was a bit long. The little guy raised his head and glanced at his mother, turned to the screen, without opening his mouth, but looked at his father on the screen, as if he was asking.

Simon saw the expectant expression of the woman opposite and smiled and said, "Let's wait for the child's lunar birthday. It's just over this month. I'll go to China to have a few days to celebrate your birthday."

Lin Su actually felt a little regretful when she spoke. When she saw the man say this, she couldn't help but feel happy, but she said, "Isn't it troublesome?"

"See what troubles do you have with your women and children," Simon said, and asked again, "How to arrange your birthday today?"

Lin Su was still warm in his heart for the casual words of the man just now, and heard this: "Are they a child? They only plan to have a meal for relatives and friends at night."

"Don't forget to prepare a big cake"

“Sure.”

Simon looked at the little guy on the woman's lap again: "Baby, do you like to eat cake?"

The little guy tilted his head slightly, obviously a little confused.

Lin Su felt a little embarrassed and felt that he had neglected his duties. He took the initiative to admit: "I haven't been weaned yet, so I don't eat anything else."

"Oh, then I happen to try something else tonight," Simon didn't care. As he said, Lin Su glanced at him again and asked with a smile: "Who?"

"Xiao Lan and Yu Song are here."

"Then come and talk together, long time no see."

Lin Suchao's sister who had already looked out of the door more than once made her eyes wink, so the whole family entered the small study room.

First, I greeted Lin’s father and mother, and also mentioned that Lin Xing, the fourth son of the Lin family who had arrived in the United States to study a few days ago, like Lin Dong, also chose to study in MIT under Simon's arrangement.

Simon happens to be in Boston.

Due to the time difference, the East Coast of the United States is still at 8 o'clock on Friday night.

When chatting with Lin’s father and mother, he took the initiative to say that he would have breakfast with Lin Dong and Lin Xing tomorrow morning, and of course he would be sure to take good care of the two brothers there.

Then there is Lin Lan.

I didn't see my nephew snatching my little nephew and pushing my sister away to sit down in front of the computer. After a few words, Lin Lan turned to a serious matter: "Brother-in-law, I heard that Lianyungang and South Korea's LG are talking about a $1 billion refining project. Can you also consider our side? Zhejiang's refining and chemical industry foundation is much better than Jiangsu?"

Lin Su didn't expect that his sister would suddenly say this, glanced at the man's expression on the screen, confirmed that he was not angry, and then glared at her sister, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In fact, Lin Lan has complained to her recently and pointed out that someone is biased.

All the good projects were stuffed to Jiangsu.

Except for Lin’s mother who was kept in the dark, both Lin’s father and Lin Lan knew about Chen Qing’s affairs. After all, there were too many things involved in a certain girl and she couldn’t even hide them.

Simon didn't expect Lin Lan to suddenly say this, smiled, and didn't even ask in detail, and said directly: "Before March next year, if you can make sure you complete all the processes, I can also give you $1 billion."

Now, except for some ignorant little guy, everyone in the room showed a surprised expression.

Lin Lan reacted first: "Brother-in-law, are you not kidding?"

"No."

Lin Lan thought of another key: "Why is it next March?"

Simon said: "CNOOC."

Now, both Lin’s mother, Lin Su, Lin Lan, or Lin Lan’s husband Qin Yusong were suddenly confused. However, Lin’s father remembered: “I have read a piece of material recently. CNOOC’s IPO will probably be listed in March next year. Is this the case?”

Simon on the screen nodded.

Lin Lan subconsciously asked: "Brother-in-law, does this matter have anything to do with CNOOC?"

This time, everyone's voice, including Lin's father, couldn't understand what it has to do with his daughter's desire to lend a refining project to the provincial liberal arts.

Simon hesitated a little and explained: "According to my judgment, next year, in short, CNOOC's IPO is likely to fail. At that time, in order to ensure the subsequent development of several major state-owned assets giants, China is likely to tighten the opening of the energy and chemical industry to non-state-owned assets in the next period of time."

In the small study room in Hangzhou, let alone other things, even Lin’s mother was shocked when she heard the news. After all, they were closely related to the system, and the Lin family and Lin Lan’s husband Qin Yusong were very aware of the seriousness of this matter.

Of course, Simon noticed the expression of the Lin family and reminded: "We just need to know about this. Don't spread it, and don't think about interfering."

Lin Lan, who was sitting at the computer, nodded subconsciously.

Of course I understand.

This matter is too big. Now the Lin family... If they really want to intervene and Simon can support it, they may be able to reverse it. However, the risks and benefits are definitely far from proportional to them, and it is even more likely that they will make them feel uncomfortable if they haven't eaten mutton.

Simon didn't say much. He believed that Lin Su's family was not lacking in this political wisdom, and returned to the topic just now: "So, before March next year."

Lin Lan came back to her senses, nodded again, showing a somewhat embarrassed and silly smile: "Brother-in-law, actually, I have prepared some materials here. Do you want to take a look first?"

Simon shook his head and asked, "Is it from Ningbo?"

Lin Lan was surprised again: "Brother-in-law, are you going to know before you know?"
