Chapter 92: The College Entrance Exam, A War Between Two Old Fathers!

The entire senior class of Jiangning No.1 High School quickly became frenzied. Students who tore up their books, sang songs, and made confessions, left the juniors in complete bewilderment.

During this time, Principal Wang Yi didn’t suppress their actions. The reason was simple: these students had been repressed for too long. Suppressing them now would seem inconsiderate, so the school chose to turn a blind eye.

After school, upon returning home, Su Lin found the lights in the villa were on. He saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the courtyard. Without a doubt, it must be Su Zhenguo returning home.

“Strange, why did this Old Su come back at this time?”

Entering the villa, Su Lin saw Su Zhenguo sitting on the sofa watching TV. Su Zhenguo looked quite like Su Lin, but was about ten centimeters shorter.

Despite being in his forties and bearing the marks of time, he still carried an air of mature charm that was hard to resist. If Su Lin hadn’t read novels, he would have suspected Su Zhenguo of keeping a mistress. Such a waste of good looks.

Unfortunately, Su Zhenguo was a man of deep emotions, devoting all his energy to his career.

“Dad! Why are you back?”

Su Zhenguo smiled, “You have your college entrance exam tomorrow, of course, I have to come and see. I can’t miss it.”

Su Lin looked at him skeptically, “Really? I don’t believe it.”

“You little rascal, would your father lie to you?” Su Zhenguo seemed surprised as he looked at Su Lin.

His reason for coming back was simple. The construction site was starting, and there were some unresolved issues with the Agricultural Bureau.

The construction had temporarily stopped. Since Su Lin was about to take his exams, he hurried back.

“Lie or not, you must have your reasons for coming back. I don’t care to ask.”

“Hehe, Xiao Lin, you’ve really grown up.”

Before, they rarely communicated, especially Su Lin, who hardly spoke to him and locked himself in his room after school.

To his surprise, after some time, Su Lin was willing to joke with him, as if the previous barriers had instantly vanished. He seemed like a changed person, much more mature.

“How’s school?”

Su Lin grabbed a soda from the table and gulped down two mouthfuls, “Just so-so, I’m first in the whole school, no suspense.”

“Heh! I heard you started a company in Zhongjiang?” Su Zhenguo raised an eyebrow.

Startled, Su Lin then nodded, “I set up Quan Le Gou.”

Su Zhenguo looked at her approvingly, “The supermarket is indeed a good venture. I have to admit, you chose a good direction for starting a business. It seems you’re planning to corporatize and chain it?”

Su Lin nodded, “Yes, supermarket chains are an inevitable trend. If I don’t do it, someone else will, and it would be too late to catch up then. Currently, no one else is doing it in Jiangnan, so expansion is easy.”

“Seven stores? I thought it was six?” Su Zhenguo looked puzzled.

“Dad, you’ve been quite thorough in keeping up with my affairs.”

Su Zhenguo nonchalantly replied, “You are my son. I have to keep an eye on things. What if you get scammed?”

Su Lin nodded, “There are six in Zhongjiang, already under renovation, and one more in Donghai.”

“Donghai too!” This surprised Su Zhenguo. Since Su Lin made a fortune from hoarding gastrodia, he had kept an eye on him. However, he didn’t expect him to have expanded to Donghai without any noise.

“Yes, it’s the provincial capital of Jiangnan, so it’s necessary. Otherwise, how can we move out of Jiangnan?”

“So, are you planning to center around Donghai?”

“For now, yes. But Donghai is just a stepping stone. Ultimately, I plan to go to Magic City, Capital City, and other places to compete with the big players.”

Su Lin’s tone was calm, but Su Zhenguo knew these plans were achievable. The supermarket industry, a lucrative sector, would soon attract others. A brutal fight for market share was imminent.

Su Zhenguo didn’t mention the risks involved. He patted Su Lin’s shoulder, “Tell me when you need help. I can’t assist much with your studies, but in business, I can provide money or people.”

“Okay!”

“Father, may I ask a question?”

“Go ahead.”

“How much money do we actually have? They say we’re the richest in Zhongjiang, but I’m not sure how much that is. Tell me.”

Su Zhenguo chuckled, “I haven’t calculated the exact assets, but the company’s reserve funds are about thirty to forty billion. Why, changed your mind and want money?”

“No… just asking.”

Su Lin was startled by the number Su Zhenguo revealed. Reserve funds of thirty to forty billion meant the company’s market value was at least several hundred billion. This was significant even in a parallel world’s 2002, which was developing faster.

“You have plenty of money, just ask if you need it.”

“Okay~!”

Seeing Su Lin still had no intention of asking for money, Su Zhenguo shook his head. In his view, to run a chain of supermarkets, one must seize the market as quickly as possible.

The supermarket wasn’t like his construction company, which could expand out of the province quickly and aggressively. All these expansions required money.

If Su Lin needed it, two billion would be enough to cover Jiangnan, and it wouldn’t take long to expand beyond the province. Unfortunately, Su Lin didn’t want it. In Su Zhenguo’s eyes, Su Lin had already done exceptionally well, especially for a high school senior.

Little did he know, Su Lin didn’t care much about the future of the supermarket. He had all the designs for the IPhone, a company worth tens of trillions.

In his past life, Apple achieved a market value of tens of trillions by selling phones. So compared to that, the development speed of the supermarket wasn’t that important.

Su Lin planned to hand over the company to Chenyang after college and let Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu step out, one to make phones and the other to work in the internet industry. And he would be the man behind them!

The next day, Su Zhenguo personally drove Su Lin to the examination venue in a Rolls-Royce. Interestingly, when parking, Su Zhenguo happened to meet Linn Guoqiang, who was also bringing Lin Xiaowan for the exam.

Seeing Su Zhenguo, Lin Guoqiang snorted coldly and ignored him. Su Zhenguo, knowing Lin Guoqiang was a complete daughter-slave and considering that Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan were close and might even become family, just laughed it off.

“Su Lin, don’t mind my dad. He’s just like that,” Lin Xiaowan said, noticing Lin Guoqiang talking with Su Zhenguo.

Su Lin nodded, “I didn’t expect your dad to bring you to the exam today.”

“Your dad is also here, isn’t he? Even if my dad doesn’t pay much attention to me, he still comes home often.”

“Heh, my dad’s work is even more demanding, so I understand.”

“Understand it or not, he left you alone in that cold villa. Aren’t you angry?”

“Angry? Why should I be? Xiaowan, you don’t understand. Although I live in a cold villa, having you and Xiaoyu, I am content.”

Thinking of how many people in the world can’t even fill their stomachs, Su Lin felt he was already too fortunate. Many would envy his life.

“Alright, it’s about time. Let’s go in.”

“Okay~!!”

As Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin entered the school, intimately close to each other, Lin Guoqiang couldn’t help but express his displeasure to Su Zhenguo, “You should control your son. He’s only eighteen and not focusing on his studies, always around my daughter.”

Su Zhenguo shrugged, “He’s grown up, hard to control. Plus, he’s the top first student in school. Why think about studying all the time? That would turn him into a fool.”

Linn Guoqiang: “…”

“Hmph, don’t expect to get any land from me in next year’s allocation,” Lin Guoqiang said petulantly.

Su Zhenguo replied indifferently, “If you don’t want to develop Zhongjiang, don’t give it to me. I don’t mind. Anyway, my focus won’t be in Zhongjiang anymore.”
