The dumplings were cooked, and Lin Xiaoqian ate them happily. The dumplings Lin Chen made were much better than the porridge Xu Mengyao cooked.
"Wife, I want to discuss something with you. Qianqian's English is already pretty good, and she's at the golden age for learning languages. I want to teach her a foreign language."
"What do you think?"
Lin Chen asked.
Xu Mengyao shook her head: "I have no objections. You're much better at this than I am, husband. You decide."
"By the way, husband, how many languages do you know?"
Lin Chen said: "I really haven't counted, probably thirty or forty. I basically know all the more commonly used foreign languages now."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
"Husband, why did you learn so many?"
Lin Chen chuckled: "They're easy to learn, just keeping them in reserve. You never know when they might come in handy."
"If you don't object, I'll teach Qianqian another new language."
Xu Mengyao nodded: "Husband, Qianqian picked up English so quickly, does that mean her language talent is pretty good?"
"Yes, she has a great talent for languages."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Lin Xiaoqian's language talent wasn't particularly strong originally, but now that he knows so many foreign languages, Lin Xiaoqian's language talent is already four times what it was before!
"Husband, how long will it take Qianqian to learn a foreign language?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
Lin Chen thought for a moment: "With Qianqian's talent, plus my teaching, she can speak a foreign language in about half a year. To be able to listen, read, and write, it'll probably take a year."
"It would be good if Qianqian could speak four or five foreign languages in the future."
Xu Mengyao: "Husband, you decide. As long as Qianqian is willing to learn, it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to."
"Okay."
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoqian: "Qianqian, we'll learn a new language later. Dad will say a few languages, and you can see which one you're more interested in."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded obediently.
Lin Chen started speaking.
German, French, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. Lin Chen spoke a paragraph in each language.
"Qianqian, which one do you want to learn?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoqian thought carefully: "Dad, the second one. Mom, can you speak the second one?"
Xu Mengyao shook her head: "Mom only knows a little bit. English is the only foreign language Mom is really good at. You can only learn the second foreign language from Dad."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded.
Lin Chen said: "Wife, the wedding is approaching. For company matters, you need to handle the urgent ones quickly. We need to go to Yincheng in advance to prepare."
Xu Mengyao: "My parents will go tomorrow, let's go the day after tomorrow."
"I have to go."
Soon Xu Mengyao went out to work.
Lin Xiaoqian: "Dad, Mom used to be very busy, busier than now. Mom said she would play with me when she was done."
"But Mom's work is never finished."
Lin Chen was stunned.
He hugged Lin Xiaoqian and kissed her: "Qianqian, Dad isn't busy. Dad will have a lot of time to spend with you."
"Mom will also have more time to spend with you in the future."
Lin Xiaoqian asked in a childish voice: "Dad, how long will it be before I have a younger brother or sister? Then I'll have younger siblings to play with, hee hee."
"Qianqian, that will take a little time. Once you've learned two more foreign languages, it should be about time."
Lin Chen stroked Lin Xiaoqian's little head.
"Dad, let's make a pinky promise."
Lin Xiaoqian said, holding out her little finger.
"Okay, pinky promise."
…
"Beep beep!"
Not long after finishing breakfast, Lin Chen received a call.
It was from Xu Xiangyang.
"Mr. Lin, using the information you provided, we have successfully manufactured that new type of super material."
"Now there are two questions."
"First, naming the new super material. You are the inventor, so you should name it. Second, how much money does the country need to buy the patent for this material?"
Lin Chen: "Director Xu, whoever manufactured it, you should ask them to name it. I don't care about that."
"As for the money... I don't lack that little bit of money. The country's military spending isn't that high to begin with, why give it to me? It's better to use that money to build more new equipment."
Xu Xiangyang: "Mr. Lin, are you sure? This material is very important. As long as you ask, the country will definitely give you even a billion in patent fees."
"I'm sure."
"I don't lack those billion."
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm taking Qianqian to the amusement park."
Lin Chen hung up the phone after speaking.
Xu Xiangyang was filled with emotion. That was a billion! Lin Chen actually refused it so freely.
He quickly reported the news to the higher-ups.
Several big shots gathered together.
"What are your thoughts? We old guys can't always take advantage of a young man like Little Lin."
One of the big shots asked.
Another big shot said with difficulty: "Little Lin doesn't lack money. His identity level is already SSS-level, and in terms of reputation, Little Lin can get it easily if he wants."
"What can we give him?"
The third big shot said: "He cares about his family and friends. Should we strengthen the security for his family?"
"And his own security also needs to be strengthened, I think. If something happens to him, the country's loss would be too great!"
In the past, Lin Chen's replies to those big shots' emails already showed his deep knowledge of materials science, but now they realized they had underestimated Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's knowledge of materials science was even higher than they had estimated.
"That's a good idea."
"Agreed."
Several big shots nodded.
Lin Chen's security specifications were already very high, but with Lin Chen's abilities, he needed even higher security specifications.
"Any other ideas?"
The leading big shot asked.
The others pondered, and after a while, someone said: "Some people call Lin Chen Academician Lin, but he isn't yet, but with Lin Chen's level, he is fully qualified."
"Should we make him an academician?"
Another big shot shook his head: "That's not good. His abilities are undoubtedly sufficient, but if we make him an academician now, he's more likely to be targeted."
"That's true."
…
At the amusement park, Lin Xiaoqian was climbing in the rope net.
Lin Chen was playing with her.
"Host, your wall-scaling has reached the Grandmaster level."
The system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind.
A lot of information also poured into Lin Chen's mind. Some of the tiny meridians in his legs were opened up.
"Goodness, I was already a martial arts master, and now my wall-scaling has reached the Grandmaster level. Jumping up, flying ten meters high shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Chen was secretly pleased.
He had tried it before, and he could fly six or seven meters high. Flying onto the roof and running around like in the TV shows was completely possible.
If the flight altitude could reach ten meters, he could directly fly over the tall city walls of ancient times.
"System, can I fly ten meters high now?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
System: "Yes, Host."
