Indeed, as Yang Wei had said, if Yang Wei had resolved it just now, this money would definitely not have had to be repaid.
Moreover, this money was gambling stakes. Gambling itself was illegal, and according to the law, even if this money wasn't repaid, Li Da Zhu could only suffer in silence.
However, the main reason Lin Xiao Tian was willing to lend the money was for Guo Lin Qing.
Guo Lin Qing was Guo Xu's elder sister, and Guo Xu was simply too good at causing trouble.
If Lin Xiao Tian helped Guo Xu unconditionally this time, given Guo Xu's character, he would only become more reckless in the future.
Previously, knowing that his sister had only her meager savings, Guo Xu had some restraint. But if he knew Lin Xiao Tian was willing to help him, and saw how influential Lin Xiao Tian was, he would definitely become bolder, leading to even bigger problems.
Lin Xiao Tian lending money to Guo Xu was actually to tell Guo Xu that if he wanted his help, he would have to pay a price.
Now that he was Guo Xu's creditor, if Guo Xu didn't behave, Lin Xiao Tian would use this debt to trouble him.
Given Guo Xu's personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and with Lin Xiao Tian's background, he would surely be much more obedient.
And the most crucial point was that Guo Lin Qing's burden would also be much lighter.
Because it was Lin Xiao Tian lending the money, not Guo Lin Qing, and Lin Xiao Tian had no blood relation to Guo Xu, Guo Xu wouldn't dare to demand anything from Lin Xiao Tian.
"People! The better you treat them, the less they appreciate it. Instead, one day, because you are not as good to them as before, they will harbor resentment."
"But conversely, if you are always indifferent to them, and occasionally give them small favors, they will be overwhelmed with gratitude."
Lin Xiao Tian did not say this directly but to Yang Wei.
Hearing this, Yang Wei fell into deep thought.
Didn't he treat Cao Yun Tian exactly like this before?
But what was the result?
His family was murdered, and he was imprisoned!
The two of them rode in silence.
Lin Xiao Tian had Yang Wei take him near a large building, and then asked him to leave first.
After getting out of the car, Lin Xiao Tian made a phone call.
Before long, a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Xiao Tian, you're here already? Wait for me, I'll come down to pick you up right away!"
Lin Xiao Tian grunted, then waited in front of the building.
Soon, a胖子 (fat man) walked out from the entrance of the building.
This person was none other than Wei Long.
"Xiao Tian, come upstairs with me, I'll let you see the new company's environment!"
Looking at the smug smile on Wei Long's face, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but shake his head.
The purpose of this visit was actually to inspect the new company.
After Lin Xiao Tian registered the company, he had entrusted the setup to Wei Long.
And Wei Long's purpose in coming here today was to show Lin Xiao Tian the new company premises.
After Lin Xiao Tian went upstairs, he finally saw the interior of the company.
It had to be said that Wei Long's taste was indeed good. There were fresh flowers at the reception, and the offices inside were also well-decorated, which made Lin Xiao Tian trust Wei Long's capabilities even more.
"Xiao Tian, the company is almost set up, the only thing missing is hiring people."
"However, I'm not good at hiring, so I've contacted a headhunter to find some experienced HR professionals for me. I believe there will be news soon."
Wei Long was very honest. He directly told Lin Xiao Tian what he wasn't good at. This was also one of the reasons why Lin Xiao Tian valued Wei Long and felt at ease entrusting him with monitoring Xu Chang Ping.
"By the way, Xiao Tian, do you have any suitable candidates in mind, or anyone you want to arrange to join?" Wei Long asked.
Lin Xiao Tian thought for a moment. He didn't know many people, most of them were from his village, and it wouldn't be appropriate to arrange them. However, Wei Long's question reminded him of someone.
"Wait a moment..."
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Guoyi Guan.
Dong Lin had been in a bad mood since returning from Jiangcheng. He was supposed to return to his branch to work today, but he had now simply notified them that he was taking leave.
Only a spoiled rich kid like Dong Lin could notify his superiors that he wouldn't be working. After all, his father was the chairman of Guoyi Guan.
At this moment, Dong Lin stood in the chairman's office at the headquarters, facing a middle-aged man who was Dong Lin's father, the current head of the Dong family, Dong Chen.
"Dad, this matter can't be left like this. If you don't do anything, Qing Ling will become someone else's daughter-in-law," Dong Lin complained.
"You scoundrel, who told you to be so incompetent? After so many years, you can't even win over a woman. I'm truly ashamed of you." Dong Chen was disappointed with his son's lack of progress.
Logically speaking, they had known each other since childhood, and Dong Lin had treated Xia Qing Ling very well. It was expected that they would end up together.
However, he also understood his son. Although Dong Lin had received a good education since childhood, he had a three-minute passion for everything. He had initially intended to cultivate him into a great medical master, but who would have thought that he would turn out to be a good-for-nothing?
If it weren't for his position as chairman, given Dong Lin's aptitude, he wouldn't have been able to get into Guoyi Guan at all.
In contrast, Xia Qing Ling was far too outstanding. She had graduated from a prestigious foreign university with excellent grades at a young age, unlike Dong Lin, who had barely managed to graduate with the help of various connections.
Moreover, in terms of temperament, due to his family's pampering, Dong Lin had rarely experienced setbacks. Whenever something happened, he would think of relying on his family to solve it. On the other hand, although Xia Qing Ling was a rich young lady of the Xia family, she had never sought help from her family since joining Guoyi Guan. This point truly made Dong Chen feel how his education had failed.
But no matter how bad Dong Lin was, he was ultimately the only heir of the Dong family, and Dong Chen had to protect him.
Furthermore, this was a matter of great importance concerning the future of the Dong family.
Dong Chen had always hoped to unite with the Xia family and make his family the strongest medical family in the country. Dong Lin was a crucial step in achieving his plan. As long as Dong Lin married Xia Qing Ling, the Dong family would be able to completely control Guoyi Guan.
If he allowed Lin Xiao Tian and Xia Qing Ling to develop their relationship further, his plan would inevitably fail.
Dong Chen had been planning for so many years, how could he allow things to be ruined by Lin Xiao Tian?
"But, I can't do anything about it! Who knew this kid was so cunning? Qing Ling must have been coerced by him," Dong Lin said unwillingly.
In reality, if Dong Lin knew that Lin Xiao Tian was the one being coerced, his expression would have been incredibly amusing.
"Shut up! I really can't understand how I could have given birth to a useless person like you?" Dong Chen cursed.
"Think about it yourself, in what way are you comparable to Lin Xiao Tian?"
"You're not good at medical skills, nor are you good at character. You spend your days idling around. Do you know how many complaints I've received about you this month?"
Dong Chen became more agitated as he cursed.
Dong Lin was also stunned. For the first time in his life, his father had scolded him so harshly. Even when he couldn't graduate before, his father had only complained a few times!
"Damn Lin Xiao Tian!"
Dong Lin blamed all his unhappiness on Lin Xiao Tian.
