Chapter 55 - The Hidden Examination of the Patriarch

Grandfather Liang Zhong used his tremendous intelligence to a new task for the next two weeks while he recuperated in the hospital: covertly watching Mei Lin. Using his dependable assistant to collect data from her college and beyond, he diligently put her life's story together from his hospital bed. A rare quality that stood out among the students, he observed, was her unwavering independence. Small gestures toward nurses and other patients demonstrated her unassuming kindness, which he witnessed. He observed her maturity as she juggled her own ethical hacking business with her rigorous coursework, always on time, and always committed.

He was convinced she was more than a fortune hunter after learning of her parents' modest academic background and the sacrifices they made. His good impression was further strengthened by her regular, sincere, and cheerful visits to his hospital room, frequently accompanied by Milo. He discovered a sincere connection with her that went beyond age and social standing, and he started to look forward to their talks.

One such encounter provided an important revelation about Mei Lin's innermost desires during a casual conversation. With his eyes sparkling, Liang Zhong said, "So, Mei Lin," "what does a bright young woman like you dream of beyond those textbooks?"

Mei Lin's face brightened. "Oh, Grandpa, esports are my dream! I want to launch my own business, identify twelve elite athletes, and provide them with a national competition opportunity. There is lots of talent out there that only requires a stage. She let out a little sigh.

However, it's a big dream. It takes a significant amount of funding to set up correctly, including hiring the right staff and purchasing the necessary equipment.''

Liang Zhong listened carefully, already thinking strategically. This aspiration and dream were a crucial component that validated her motivation and foresight. With this remarkable young lady at his side, he now knew exactly how to ensure the future of his family and Liang Chen's succession.
