Chapter 192: Time To Change Everything

“But you have to painstakingly commute to work…”

Lin Bai was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by his mother with a smile.

His mother said, “It’s just spending a little more time every day. It’s nothing. Besides, I’ve already gotten used to it after so many years. There’s no rush to change houses. You should start your own business first. When you earn a lot of money in the future, you can get us a new house.”

Lin Bai hurriedly said, “Mom, I’ll have my own way to start my own business. I don’t need this money…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, his mother interrupted him again.

“Alright, there’s no need to say anymore. It’s settled then. Listen to me, quickly contact that driver. Don’t let others assume your identity and collect the prize.”

After saying that, his mother seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added, “But if that uncle reneges and is unwilling to share the prize with you, don’t be angry or sad. If he shares it with you, that’ll be great. If he doesn’t, then just forget it. There’s no need to force it.”

“I believe that with your ability, you will definitely succeed even if you start your own business. You will definitely earn more money than this.”

After all, his mother had been in society for many years and was well aware of the complexity and fickleness of human nature.

She was worried that the driver would change his mind on the spot or make some harsh request to make things difficult for Lin Bai, so she had prepared a precaution for Lin Bai in advance.

She thought of everything except herself.

In fact, when she bought the house, if it was not to take care of Lin Bai’s school district, and to let Lin Bai’s father go to work closer, she would not have to work so hard every day.

She was always like this, always putting the needs of her husband and son before her own.

If there was anything that needed to be sacrificed and compromised, she would be the first to sacrifice her own interests.

For so many years, she had always given so silently.

She never complained about how hard she worked, nor did she ever ask for anything in return.

When he was young, Lin Bai could not see his mother’s dedication to the family.

Now that he had grown up, he understood.

Naturally, he could not let his mother continue to sacrifice like this.

It was time for him to repay her.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and suppressed the warm and sour mixed emotions in his heart.

He said, “Mom, you’ve done enough for our family for so many years.”

“You’re the best mother and wife in the world.”

“But you should also be yourself.”

“After so many years of hard work, you have to consider yourself occasionally.”

On the other end of the phone, his mother’s voice was obviously choked with sobs.

“We are all a family. What do you mean by hard work or not? Your father has been working hard all these years to earn money. He is also doing this for the family.”

Lin Bai said, “I know. Father is also working hard. It is not easy for all of you but I’ve never done anything for this family.”

“Just give me a chance this time. Listen to me. Use this money to buy a house. Or if there is anything else you like or want to do, just go ahead. Don’t worry about money. Our family is rich now. We’ll be even richer in the future.”

Lin Bai thought to himself. He had to find some suitable reasons in the future to slowly give the money to the family.

If he gave it to them all at once, it would be difficult to explain the source of the money, and he was afraid that it would scare them.

It would be easier to do it slowly and steadily.

Moreover, as time passed, the number would become bigger and bigger, and it would allow them to gradually adapt to a rich life.

His mother was very touched.

“You’ve grown up and are sensible. I’m very glad that you know how to feel sorry for me.”

“But we’ll talk about changing houses later. If we really move, your father will be far away from work.”

Her and Lin Bai’s father’s workplace happened to be in the north and south respectively, so one of them had to travel a long distance every day. Otherwise, they would have to buy a house somewhere in the middle so the two of them would be neither too far nor too close to work.

They had considered it when they bought their house back then.

It was just that Lin Bai’s father was busy with work, and he often worked late. If he had to commute long distances after work, it would be too tiring.

That was why he bought the house near his company back then, so that he could get home and rest early after working overtime.

And the price was his mother’s years of hard work.

Lin Bai said, “Then no matter what, you guys take the money first, and then we’ll think about the house slowly.”

“It’s not like we can move in a day or two anyway. If you have time, take a look at some houses. If there’s a suitable one, buy it. If not, wait a little longer.”

“As for my dad, you don’t have to worry too much. Maybe one day, he’ll be transferred to the North District?”

His mother sighed and said, “We also hope that he can be transferred to the North District Branch, but there hasn’t been any news for so many years. I guess there’s no hope.”

Lin Bai smiled and said, “Just because there’s no hope in the past doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future. Anything is possible.”

“Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll transfer the money to you guys later. When you and my dad are free, you can take a look at the real estate in the North District.”

Lin Bai hung up the phone and already had an idea in his mind.

Since the transfer didn’t work out, he might as well just change his job.

Anyway, his father wasn’t happy with his current job.

Although his father rarely talked about his work in front of Lin Bai and wouldn’t show any negative emotions to him, Lin Bai could still tell that his father had been bullied a lot over the years from the bits and pieces of conversation between his parents

His boss had always disliked him and left him with all kinds of crap, so he had to work overtime every day.

However, even though he worked the hardest, his salary was the lowest among the employees.

His father had wanted to jump ship years ago.

However, he had his parents and children to provide for, and he still had to pay the mortgage every month. In addition, he was getting old, so many companies were unwilling to hire him.

As a result, more than 90% of the resumes that he had sent out sank into the sea. The few companies that were willing to give him an interview opportunity also offered a much lower salary than his current company.

That was why his father had to stay in this company all the time and swallow his pride in order to earn money.

In the past, it was Lin Bai who did not have the ability to change all of this but now, it was different.

Although Lin Bai still had no connections in his father’s industry, he already had enough money.

With real money, there was nothing that could not be done.

If there was, then it was not enough.

Lin Bai sent a text to Ling Xuewei.

“I need to find a Headhunter. Do you have a reliable candidate to recommend?”

After waiting for a while, Ling Xuewei still did not reply. He thought that she was probably busy with other things and did not see it.

Anyway, Lin Bai was not in a hurry. He threw his phone aside and continued to drive back to school.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the school and entered the dormitory, a black shadow pounced on him..
