Chapter 57
The weight of the moment settled on Lin Wen as he rolled through the entrance of his new office building. Every corner, every piece of furniture, seemed so foreign yet so promising. He could feel the eyes of the workers on him, their gazes full of curiosity, respect, and perhaps even disbelief. To them, Lin Wen wasn’t just a man in a wheelchair—he was the new face of the Lin Group.
As Jiang Ning stood beside him, ensuring Lin Wen was comfortable, the scene felt surreal. This was a man who had long been out of the game, sidelined by circumstances and health, but now he was stepping into a new chapter of his life. A chapter he didn’t even know would be possible just a few months ago.
The workers slowly parted as Lin Wen was pushed into the hall. They all stood in a respectful silence, awaiting his words. Lin Wen took a deep breath and, despite the overwhelming emotions that surged within him, he managed a small, appreciative smile.
“Good morning, everyone,” he said, his voice steady, though the tremor of excitement couldn’t be masked. “I may not know all your names yet, but I hope in time we can work together to build something great. This company, this opportunity—it’s all new to me. But I promise you, I will give it my all. We will succeed, together.”
His words weren’t just for the employees—they were for himself. They were a promise that he would work harder than ever, to finally prove to himself and his family that he could contribute, that he could rebuild, and that he wasn’t just a burden. As the new chairman of the Lin Group, he had a chance to do something that mattered, something that could restore his dignity.
Jiang Ning, standing nearby, watched with satisfaction. He knew this was the moment Lin Wen had been waiting for. A moment to redeem himself, not just for the family, but for his own sense of purpose. He was proud of how far Lin Wen had come, and despite the chaos surrounding them, he could see that things were starting to take shape. This was only the beginning.
“I’ve arranged for the renovation to be completed, and the signboard has been changed,” Huang Yuming said, stepping forward. “The team is ready for you, CEO Lin. We’ve been preparing for this moment.”
Lin Wen nodded, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. “Thank you, Yuming. I wouldn’t be here without your help.”
The room was buzzing with quiet murmurs of approval, but as Lin Wen wheeled forward, he felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders. But it wasn’t just about the business—it was about proving something to himself, something he’d felt he’d lost for so long.
Su Mei, who had been standing by quietly, leaned in closer to Jiang Ning. “Thank you for all of this. I can see how much it means to him.”
Jiang Ning smiled, though his expression was guarded. “It’s nothing, really. He deserves this chance. And so do you.”
Su Mei glanced at her husband, her eyes filled with pride. “He’s worked hard his whole life, and he deserves the opportunity to prove himself again.”
The moment felt delicate, almost fragile. It was a second chance for Lin Wen, and Jiang Ning had helped make it possible. For Lin Wen, for his family, this was more than just business—it was the realization of a dream long buried by years of hardship.
As the team began moving about, getting ready for the official opening, Lin Wen looked around the office. This was where it all started—his chance to rebuild, to prove he was more than just a father, more than just someone dependent on others. This was his time to stand tall once again.
With a steady hand, he grasped the armrest of his wheelchair, a quiet determination in his eyes. “We won’t fail,” he whispered to himself, the weight of the moment heavy but full of potential.
Jiang Ning, who had been standing just out of earshot, seemed to sense the shift in energy. He turned to Su Mei, a small but genuine smile forming on his face. “We’ve only just begun. Let’s see what happens next.”
Su Mei’s heart swelled with gratitude. She hadn’t imagined a year ago that they’d be standing here today, with everything starting anew for the Lin family. But here they were, on the brink of something monumental.
“Yes,” she said softly. “Let’s see where this takes us.”
