"Nanyun Lin family? Oh, I remember there's a big pharmaceutical merchant family in Nanyun, the Lins!"
Lu Qingfeng, being an old hand, maintained his composure. Realizing he had misunderstood Lin Shuainan, he quickly changed his tune.
Lin Shuainan nodded repeatedly at Lu Qingfeng, "Ah, yes, that's my family. My father is Lin Batian, and my grandfather is Lin Tianjiao. Do you know them, Elder Lu?"
Lin Shuainan acted as if he were trying to establish a connection, as if he were about to reveal his entire family background.
The younger generation of the Lu family at the table were all bewildered.
Where did this person come from?
He was actually conversing with their own patriarch, and from the way he spoke, one might think they were old acquaintances!
Lu Qingfeng sensed that Lin Shuainan was different from ordinary people.
If he spoke too much, he, as the elder, might lose face.
However, he genuinely knew of this Lin family!
"Heh, I've heard of him. Lin Tianjiao of Nanyun. A long time ago, he exported some of Nanyun's insect medicines abroad. Fifty years ago, he had already accumulated over a hundred million in assets!"
Lu Qingfeng offered a polite remark.
The surrounding younger Lu family members all put on expressions of disdain.
A hundred million in assets!
What was that compared to their Lu family's trillions in assets?
However, some of the older individuals at the table treated Lin Shuainan with a bit more seriousness!
Fifty years ago, a hundred million in assets?
Fifty years ago, their Lu family's assets were barely over a hundred million. And that was fifty years ago!
Look at how much inflation there had been since then!
To achieve that level of success in that era was truly remarkable.
After fifty years of development, this Nanyun Lin family must be even more formidable, and Lin Shuainan, as the heir, deserved some respect.
But Lin Shuainan didn't pick up on Lu Qingfeng's polite tone!
He waved his hand and casually said, "My grandfather retired a long time ago. After my father took over, he just focused on saving money. Before, our assets were over a hundred billion. My father is very stingy. When I was in middle school, he wouldn't even give me three hundred yuan in pocket money!"
Lin Shuainan's casual, family-like talk left everyone speechless.
But the younger generation below changed their expressions, no longer daring to look down on Lin Shuainan.
According to what Lin Shuainan said, the Lin family now had hundreds of billions in assets.
Wouldn't all these hundreds of billions eventually belong to Lin Shuainan?
They, as the younger generation of the Lu family, did not possess such wealth.
A local tycoon from elsewhere was still better than a local rich second-generation from the capital. Therefore, these young juniors all regarded Lin Shuainan as a wealthy tycoon brought by Ling Feng to add to the grandeur of the occasion!
But Lin Shuainan hadn't finished speaking yet.
As he spoke, he broke open a durian and casually offered a piece towards Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng's mouth twitched. He quickly waved his hand to refuse. While he didn't mind the smell, eating durian with Lin Shuainan in front of the younger generation was truly unseemly.
However, Lin Shuainan's chatterbox couldn't be shut off.
"Mmm, delicious! Elder Lu, you don't know how hard my childhood was. Even though my family was rich, they didn't give me anything. But it's much better now. Ever since I met my elder brother, my luck has turned. I also got a godfather. My godfather is rich, and he gave all his money to me. I have properties all over the country. Now, my net worth is at least a trillion. Oh, right, there's a commercial street next to your Lu family's place, and a building there is mine too. I saw it last time, it's worth about seven or eight billion! Easy to sell!"
Munch, munch!
As Lin Shuainan spoke, the aroma of durian filled the air.
But everyone around was stunned!
This eccentric fellow, if he wasn't a lunatic or an idiot, then he was truly a wealthy individual.
So wealthy that most of the Lu family members found it difficult to hold their heads high!
They naturally knew about the commercial street next to the Lu family.
There were only a few buildings worth seven or eight billion there. The Lu family had even rented one for their offices. Yet, this young man, casually eating durian, actually owned one of them!
He was truly too rich!
But was all of this true?
Even Lu Qingfeng's mouth twitched. Originally, mentioning that he knew of the Nanyun Lin family was just to give this kid some face.
He hadn't expected this kid to start bragging.
"Heh, is that so? Then Young Lin, you are truly young and promising!"
Lu Qingfeng didn't want to listen to Lin Shuainan's bragging anymore.
But Lin Shuainan continued to chatter incessantly.
"Ah, this is nothing! Back then, my godfather intended to give a lot to my elder brother, but my elder brother didn't want it! So it all fell to me!"
With that, Lin Shuainan called out to Ling Feng, "Right, Big Brother!"
Instantly, everyone's attention shifted to Ling Feng.
A trillion in assets, and someone was giving it to Ling Feng, but he didn't want it?!
Was that possible?
Only Lu Qingyi looked speechless. Ling Feng wasn't lacking money, so trillions in assets wouldn't move him.
Otherwise, with her own wealth, she would have long ago tried to get Ling Feng to become a live-in son-in-law at her home!
However, Lu Qingyi never dreamed that Lin Shuainan, whom Ling Feng had brought along, would be such a scene-stealer!
Today's protagonist should have been Ling Feng, but how did this durian-eating Lin Shuainan manage to shock the entire audience?
With just a few words from Lin Shuainan, the previously arrogant younger members of the Lu family were silenced, gasping for breath, not daring to speak.
Yes!
This was the effect Lin Shuainan wanted to achieve!
Ling Feng naturally understood the purpose of Lin Shuainan's actions. If anyone in the world thought Lin Shuainan was an idiot, Ling Feng wouldn't think so.
Lin Shuainan was very shrewd; his thought process was just different from others!
From the moment he entered, Lin Shuainan had sensed a lot of hostility towards Ling Feng from the people around.
And to silence these ungrateful juniors, Lin Shuainan had attracted everyone's attention from the beginning.
Then he started his speech!
And now, he had awed everyone into silence. Under such circumstances, these people would naturally have less aggression towards Ling Feng!
Such an expenditure of mental energy.
Ling Feng was naturally grateful to Lin Shuainan.
All the groundwork was laid for his own speech at this moment.
Ling Feng certainly wouldn't, and couldn't, betray Lin Shuainan's good intentions.
"You are the successor of the Medicine King, so the Medicine King's assets should naturally be yours. I don't need them!"
Ling Feng's calm words were the most lethal.
Because Ling Feng's demeanor did not seem like he was lying at all.
This meant that all these matters were true.
Lin Shuainan was truly a trillionaire, owning a building on the adjacent commercial street!
And Ling Feng was even more extraordinary, someone who could easily refuse trillions in assets.
This was either foolishness or complete indifference.
It was truly like treating wealth as dirt!
This was truly awe-inspiring.
Lu Qingfeng, seated at the head of the table, widened his eyes and looked at Ling Feng for a moment before shifting his gaze to Lu Qingyi.
Clearly, he was asking Lu Qingyi with his eyes.
Why hadn't she mentioned this earlier?
Lu Qingyi had only said that Ling Feng was her comrade-in-arms on the battlefield, and he had retired!
With such simple information, how could Lu Qingfeng have imagined such an impressive status now?!
