Yu Jianhao looked as if he was going to get to the bottom of the truth.

Lin Bai knew that if he didn’t give him a satisfactory answer today, he would definitely not give up.

Thus, Lin Bai could only tell the truth.

“Uncle, I wonder if you have heard of the saying that one with a protruding skull at the back of one’s head is rebellious?”

Yu Jianhao nodded.

“Of course I’ve heard of it. In history, Wei Yan was said to have rebelled. Why, is it the same for Chen Yang as well?”

Lin Bai gave an affirmative answer.

“Yes, Chen Yang is a traitor too.”

“The last time we met, I noticed that the back of Chen Yang’s head was very strange. The curve of the protrusion is different from that of an ordinary person. It’s especially sharp.”

“That is the sign of a rebellious person.”

“As the saying goes, a person with such a skull structure is definitely a crafty person. Therefore, I guessed that there must be something wrong with him.”

“In addition, he showed an inexplicable hostility towards me the moment we met, so I naturally thought of the matter of Jinmo being kidnapped.”

“I saved Jinmo and he deliberately nitpicked on me, so it’s very likely that my actions had destroyed his interests.”

Lin Bai told him the entire process of his speculation.

After Yu Jianhao heard it, he couldn’t help but admire Lin Bai’s meticulous thought process.

“I didn’t expect you to know how to read someone’s personality based on their face, at such a young age. Moreover, you have such a meticulous reasoning ability.”

“I believe that you will definitely have great achievements in the future.”

Yu Jianhao wasn’t stingy with his praise for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai simply smiled indifferently and did not take these compliments to heart.

He said humbly, “Uncle, you flatter me. I’m not that good.”

“As for the profound theory of fortune-telling based on face-reading, I don’t understand it either. I’ve only read some miscellaneous books and remembered a few superficial sentences.”

“This time, I was able to see through Chen Yang purely because I was lucky. It’s not worth mentioning.”

The more humble Lin Bai was, the more Yu Jianhao felt that Lin Bai was extraordinary.

Most young people, especially young boys are very prideful.

There were very few young people like Lin Bai who knew how to be humble at the age of twenty.

Yu Jianhao had lived for long and had been in the business world for decades. He had met less than five young people who were that humble.

Moreover, those people had all achieved extraordinary results.

Therefore, Yu Jianhao firmly believed that Lin Bai, who had the same qualities, would definitely not be a mediocre person.

He increasingly felt that his daughter had good taste and that the guy she had chosen had a lot of potential.

However, just having potential was not enough. He had to truly make achievements in order to be worthy of his precious daughter.

Yu Jianhao took out the check with a smile and pushed it in front of Lin Bai.

“Last time, I gave it to you as a gratuity, but you refused to accept it. This time, I’ll treat it as my investment in you. I hope you can accept it.”

“Then, treat this money as a start-up capital and do whatever you want.”

“You can decide what industry you want to run your business in and how you want to operate it.”

Lin Bai glanced at the check. The amount on it was the same as before— five million yuan.

To an ordinary person, it was a huge sum.

“Uncle, you are…”

Yu Jianhao smiled and explained, “I already know your character, but I still need to see how you can run a business.”

“After all, as a father, I hope that my daughter can be happy.”

“She loves you wholeheartedly and is determined to marry you in the future. I also hope that she can get what she wants.”

“Jinmo is my only child, and she is the only heir of the Yu Corporation.”

“Her future husband will definitely join the Yu Corporation as well.”

“So, I have to make sure that you have enough talent to take on the responsibility of running the Yu Corporation with Jinmo…”

Lin Bai nodded in understanding.

“Uncle, you’re right. Jinmo’s identity is special. Her future husband cannot be clueless about business.’

Yu Jianhao was very satisfied with Lin Bai’s answer. He continued to make his requests.

“If you want my recognition and blessing, you have to pass my test first.”

“I don’t ask for much. The average angel investor requires a return of around 25%.”

“As long as you can reach this number, you’ll pass my first test.”

“How is it? Do you have the guts to accept it?”

Although it was a question, Yu Jianhao looked at Lin Bai with anticipation.

He was very eager to see what kind of results this young man could achieve.

Lin Bai looked down and thought for a moment before pushing the check back with both hands.

The hope in Yu Jianhao’s eyes instantly dimmed like a extinguished candle.

“You don’t dare?”

“A person who isn’t driven will never be Jinmo’s husband.”

Yu Jianhao was extremely disappointed.

He didn’t expect Lin Bai to be such a coward.

A great opportunity was placed in front of him, and he didn’t even have the courage to try.

It was too disappointing.

Lin Bai smiled and explained, “Uncle, you’ve misunderstood. I just don’t want to accept your investment.”

“As for your test, I’m very willing to accept it.”

Yu Jianhao was extremely disappointed.

“Without the start-up capital, how are you going to get started?”

“Don’t tell me you only want to set up a small stall to prove yourself. I’ll definitely not accept that.”

Lin Bai smiled.

“Uncle, you must be joking. Of course, it’s not just setting up a stall. That’s not considered a business.”

“As for how I’ll get started, uncle, you don’t have to worry about it. Anyway, the source of the startup funds is definitely not illegal.”

“As for the other details, I’ll explain them to you slowly after I’ve really succeeded.”

Lin Bai had his own reasons for doing so.

He had already won the lottery and was not short of a startup fundl

If he accepted Yu Jianhao’s money, it would definitely increase the startup fund and give him a higher starting point.

But correspondingly, Yu Jianhao would become an investor in his future company.

Yu Jianhao only said that he would be allowed to choose his industry and business model, but he did not say that he would not interfere with the decision-making for his business.

Once there was a disagreement, if Yu Jianhao used his identity as an investor to pressure him, Lin Bai would have to be obedient.

That was a situation that Lin Bai was absolutely unwilling to face.

He could respect Yu Jianhao as an elder for the sake of Yu Jinmo.

However, he was not willing to obey Yu Jianhao’s instructions in everything. He didn’t want to be tied up and not have any room for freedom.

Yu Jianhao looked deeply at Lin Bai for a long time before a smile slowly appeared on his face.

“Very good. You have more backbone and courage than I expected.”

“I admire your character.”

“Do your best. I’ll wait to see your results.”

Lin Bai smiled and said, “Uncle, don’t worry.. I won’t let you down.”
