While upstairs plotting, Lin Tai relaxed downstairs with an Idle Fish lifestyle.
Resting his head on Hecate's lap, he drifted to sleep.
That evening, Lin Zhentian returned home. The family of three had a reunion dinner celebrating Lin Ziyu's return.
"Ziyu, eat more—you've gotten thin abroad." Lin Zhentian served her food. Any parent knew kids grew thinner away from home.
"Okay, Dad." Lin Ziyu felt moved seeing Lin Zhentian again.
She was no longer the naive girl from before.
She knew she wasn't Lin Zhentian's biological daughter, only adopted by chance.
Yet, Lin Zhentian treated her like his real daughter, and she could feel his care and love.
After dinner, the three chatted in the living room, mostly Lin Zhentian and Lin Ziyu discussing finance, topics Lin Tai had no interest in.
The conversation turned to inheritance.
"Ziyu, since you're back, spend the next few days familiarizing yourself with the company. In a few days, we'll hold a banquet, and you'll take over as general manager." Lin Zhentian tested his daughter's knowledge.
Ziyu was indeed a top student, answering fluently and ready to take over the family business.
The banquet would announce her status as heir and help her meet other young heirs.
Within two years, Lin Zhentian could hand over the Lin Family to her and enjoy his retirement.
"Dad, I want to rest for a while." Lin Ziyu refused immediately. Her priority was protecting her dangerous brother.
She had spent the afternoon discussing strategies with Yao Anxuan, who gave many suggestions.
No matter which advice she chose, she needed time and couldn't take over the company yet.
"Is that so?" Lin Zhentian considered and agreed; it was too much to expect her to jump in immediately after returning from studying abroad.
"Alright, take your rest. Your old man can hold on a bit longer."
"Dad, I think Ziyu taking over is best." Lin Tai, who had been watching TV quietly, suddenly spoke.
He didn't care about anything else, but Ziyu had to join the company!
She was a heroine, a career woman even stronger than Xia Shihan.
Her character was to strive for success, inherit the Lin Family, then have a harmonious romance with Ye Bai.
Could she collapse now? Lin Tai wouldn't allow it.
"Can't you let your sister rest?" Lin Zhentian rarely heard Lin Tai speak and did not refute.
"Dad, other families are grooming heirs. If Ziyu rests now, she might be bullied later. She should start soon."
"Brother, if you know everyone's grooming heirs, why don't you want to inherit yourself?" Lin Ziyu looked gratefully at Lin Tai.
Her brother was so foolish; other families fought to be heirs, but Lin Tai, though outstanding, gave way for her.
Lin Ziyu's doubt was justified.
After Lin Tai's death, while cleaning his belongings, she found many company turnaround plans.
The documents revealed Lin Tai's unknown side—a financial and business genius.
The plans alone could have brought the group great profits but were kept untouched in a drawer.
She understood her brother was paving the way for her.
How could she not be grateful?
"That won't work. I'm a waste. The Lin Family would collapse under me." Lin Tai thought to himself: if not for being a villainous male side character, he'd want these heroines to know what a true genius was.
With the system's help, his financial and business expertise was peak level—he saw Buffett and Soros as amateurs.
But to complete his mission and return to reality, Lin Tai couldn't show it.
Otherwise, what would happen to Lin Ziyu and Xia Shihan?
They'd all kneel and sing 'Conquer.'
His dedication surpassed these heroines by miles.
