“Ling’er will arrange for you to meet Old Master Jiang,” Lin Sheng said earnestly.

Lin Sheng’s mother was curious. “Who is Ling’er?”

Lin Sheng replied, “She’s the daughter of the Jiang family. She came up with a way to get Old Master Jiang’s assistance to help us through this crisis. I hope the Jiang family will consider buying our family’s company.”

After a brief pause, Lin Sheng continued, “Dad, neither you nor 1 know how to run a business. The Jiang family might help us once, but they won’t do it every time. Perhaps it’s time to let go. You can still see the company in the future.”

Lin Sheng’s mother, disliking the artifice of the business world, wholeheartedly supported Lin Sheng’s idea.

“Indeed,” Lin Sheng’s mother agreed. “For the sake of the company, we’ve already sacrificed so much, including the things we once cherished.”

“That being said,” Lin Sheng’s father began, “it’s still uncertain whether the Jiang family will buy our company.”

Lin Sheng chimed in, “Dad, you can either keep the Lin family’s formula forever or consider giving it to the country. The country might not need it, and they won’t let pardon you from going to jail over it.

Lin Sheng gazed at his father, his tone unwavering, “If you hand over the formula and present it to Old Master Jiang, and show him that our company is still capable of generating profits, perhaps the Jiang family will buy us out, right?”

“Exactly,” Lin Sheng’s mother nodded in agreement. “If the Jiang family doesn’t see any potential benefits, why would they assist us?”

Lin Sheng’s father grappled with his inner turmoil. Handing over the formula would mean complete defeat for the Lin family. Refusing to do so, however, would lead to despair.

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng’s father was a little frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

Feeling the weight of his decision, Lin Sheng’s father sighed. “I hope the formula will be of value. But I apologize to the ancestors of the Lin family.”

“Dad, there’s no need to apologize to anyone,” Lin Sheng reassured him. “If the formula proves useful, Grandpa will be pleased in the afterlife.”

Lin Sheng’s father mused, “1 wonder if the old man is happy. It would be the best outcome if the formula can bring value.”

Just as Lin Sheng was about to say something, his phone rang. Upon seeing it was Jiang Ling’er, he swiftly answered.

Listening to Jiang Ling’er’s words, Lin Sheng’s excitement surged. “Really?” he exclaimed. “Ling’er, thank you! That’s fantastic. Thank you so much. My father and I will head over right away.”

After ending the call, Lin Sheng turned to his parents, beaming with excitement.

“Dad, let’s go,” Lin Sheng urged. “Old Master Jiang will be available after two in the afternoon.”

Lin Sheng’s father was taken aback. “So soon?”

Typically, in such circumstances, they would procrastinate or wait until the last minute, contingent on their willingness to help. The speed of the Jiang family’s response surprised them.

Lin Sheng’s mother was also astonished.

Lin Sheng’s father turned to Lin Sheng and asked, somewhat awkwardly, “Ah Sheng, did you mention anything about the formula?”

Lin Sheng was speechless. “Dad, do you think I’m that foolish? The formula is our Lin family’s sole trump card. Why would 1 reveal it in advance?”

Lin Sheng’s father questioned, “Then why did they respond so quickly?”

Lin Sheng’s mother was afraid that Lin Sheng’s father would rather go to jail than hand over the formula.

Lin Sheng’s mother, concerned that her husband might choose jail over relinquishing the formula, chimed in, “Old Lin, this company is already on the brink. Don’t hold onto the illusion that it can prosper. Even if it has potential, neither you nor 1, nor All Sheng, have the ability to make it work.”

Lin Sheng’s father was at a loss for words.

Feeling the weight of the situation, Lin Sheng’s father was despondent but acknowledged his wife was right.

Fearing his father might end up in jail due to the formula, Lin Sheng stated, “Dad, the formula might still hold value in someone else’s hands, but in ours, it’s just a piece of paper. Going to jail and getting a criminal record over it isn’t worth it.”

“Why did you ask the Jiang family for help, then?” his father inquired.

Lin Sheng replied with self-mockery, “It’s because Wang Shuai and Sun Qiang have been avoiding me. 1 had no choice but to turn to Jiang Ling’er.”

Lin Sheng grinned and added, “1 told Jiang Ling’er that the sooner we resolve this, the better. That’s why she arranged this meeting so quickly. It shows that Jiang Ling’er is genuinely committed to helping us. Dad, let’s go. It’s already past one o’clock. It’ll demonstrate our sincerity if we arrive early.”

His mother agreed, “That’s right, hurry up.”

But his father hesitated. “But there’s no one here to take care of you.”

His mother interjected, “Old Lin, if you go to prison, our son will still need to attend school, and there will be no one to care for me.. Do you want our son to be unable to graduate?”
