Chapter 104 Dao Heart
As Lin Yue took these actions, the human resources department and the various bodyguards and security guards also acted accordingly. That same day, they immediately urged those whose names were called to resign or leave, and to withdraw their due compensation. Of these girls, some certainly didn't want to leave, especially those who had already started flirting with Xiao Bao; those one or two definitely didn't want to leave. A few others left reluctantly, though encouraged by their parents.
On the company side, Lin Yue took swift and decisive action, ordering security to expel those who disobeyed from the company. Simultaneously, their bank accounts received the corresponding labor compensation, processed according to national regulations. At the same time, a decree was issued to head office: due to the inappropriate behavior and declining moral standards of certain employees, which damaged interpersonal relationships within the company, a new company rule is in effect: anyone found to be involved in a mistress disrupting a spouse's family will be dismissed, and anyone engaging in ambiguous behavior related to such a relationship will also be dismissed.
Meanwhile, some relatives and extended family members working at the factory were also involved in the dismissal of girls named in the incident. These people, while searching for the girls, also caused trouble within the factory premises. Lin Yue directly ordered the security guards to remove them, preventing them from entering the factory again. She also explained the misconduct committed by these individuals within the company to the relevant personnel departments, human resources departments, and labor arbitration departments. This evidence, which Lin Yue had recently gathered, was presented to the labor arbitration department, and she also kept a copy for herself. If any relevant employees filed for arbitration, she would ask the relevant authorities to provide evidence of their past wrongdoings. Everyone had engaged in violations of company regulations, particularly embezzlement, bribery, and theft. Previously, Lin Yue had turned a blind eye, but this time she was enraged and resolved the matter with swift and decisive action.
Many of these people had worked for Lin Yue's company for years and had been provided with company dormitories, some even living in villas. Just these past two days, Lin Yue had arranged for the expulsion of people from the villa and apartment complexes. They weren't going to be given houses; instead, their previous deposits of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan were transferred to their personal accounts at double the original value. The company had promised bonuses for employees with over 10 years of service, but while these people received their bonuses after 10 years, they had done something heartbreaking. Therefore, Lin Yue rewarded them with houses based on the market value at the time. They had only paid around 100,000 yuan, but the houses were valued at 500,000 yuan at the time; houses worth 1 million yuan were given at the market value of 1 million yuan. He then persuaded all of them to leave and simply threw them out of the town.
After these people actually left Lin Yue's factory area and their residential area, a group of security guards stood there and realized they had committed a crime they would regret for the rest of their lives. Lin Yue had named them one by one, and the matter was indeed egregious. The whole town was buzzing with rumors that the old chairman had awakened from his slumber and was now reorganizing the company, firing off the corrupt and unscrupulous management and those involved in bribery and embezzlement, and expelling them from the factory and office areas.
My goodness, this storm has swept through this town, this county, this city, this province. Even the families Lin Yue specifically mentioned, whose children are all graduates of prestigious universities (985/211), some even studying abroad, have been named. And their parents, who have worked for Lin Yue for so many years, have all been kicked out of the company because of this.
This incident made even the hardworking employees feel like they were being pricked by a thorn. One could imagine that if Xiaobao had been fooled by this group and something serious had happened, their lives would have been incredibly difficult. It would have been a case of powerful relatives holding sway, and Xiaoxue, the original wife who had shared so much hardship, would have had a very difficult time. The mother-in-law's return, her swift and decisive actions, and the resulting upheaval that even attracted television coverage, made those fired, along with their relatives, friends, and extended family, instantly famous.
When Lin Yue emerged from his seclusion, the important leaders were taken aback, especially after learning about his ruthless methods from television reports. They finally understood the style of this veteran leader. Most of the older generation of leaders had retired or even passed away, and Lin Yue was already in his late 80s, approaching 90. You can imagine that the older leaders who had worked with Lin Yue back then were already in their sixties or seventies, while Lin Yue was only in his thirties or forties. Decades had passed, and very few people knew him, his personality, or even his methods.
Everyone thought Lin Yue was just a stay-at-home mom, a housewife with such a narrow perspective, always hiding her true self, despite making significant contributions to the country, she received little reward from the nation. In reality, the country remembered all her achievements. Therefore, when she purchased the land within and outside the valley, the country permitted it. No private individual has ever purchased so much land and claimed it as private property, but Lin Yue did it. Yes, she did it; it was actually earned through her contributions to the country.
You're probably wondering, was she the only one who made a contribution, and didn't her husband? But from beginning to end, the one with real ability was his wife, Lin Yue. The reason Lin Yue didn't stand out or get eliminated is actually due to her own abilities. She kept a low profile for a long time, and even now, she's still keeping a low profile, even in seclusion. The existence of the natural order teaches these cultivators that humility is the key to success.
Actually, everyone knows that there are many spiritual practitioners in this world today. Especially those highly accomplished individuals—can ordinary people see them? Even if they did, could they recognize them? Those who have secluded themselves in the mountains for decades or even centuries, after a trip to the human world, wouldn't even recognize a car, let alone know what a cell phone is, since cell phones and cars are only things that have appeared in the last few decades. Those elders who emerge from seclusion walk aimlessly on the road, begging for food and clothing like beggars, but their eyes are bright and their speech is incoherent. That's because they've been in seclusion for too long, completely isolated from the world. So you'll find that this is some kind of old monster who doesn't understand anything. Yes, an old monster. You might not believe it, but in those deep mountains and forests, there may be real old monsters who are hundreds or even thousands of years old. They rarely have contact with people in the secular world, so what you call human relationships, what you consider a happy life, a miserable life, or the lowest point in your life, are nothing more than a speck of dust in their eyes. Yes, it's just a fleeting moment. Time means nothing to them; it's not even enough for them to cultivate themselves and soar through the universe.
I don't know how many practitioners can sit cross-legged and feel another version of themselves sitting opposite them, able to introspectively observe each of their acupoints and feel golden threads flowing through their bodies. When you reach this state, you will discover many wondrous things. You might say that no one teaches us magic. But if you were a practitioner in your past life, don't worry about external methods or techniques. When your inner cultivation reaches a certain level, things like telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and mind reading will all be trivial matters, provided you have truly embarked on the correct path of cultivation.
You're probably thinking I'm just an ordinary person, and I haven't felt anything after practicing. Well, let me tell you, with today's advanced mobile communication, and the various people in the videos, some even publicly revealing ancient cultivation techniques, I can only tell you that in this world, there are many highly skilled individuals who, in a certain dynasty, felt their Five Elements were incomplete and left this world, leaving our small world to enter a larger one. They left behind very little in their legacy; what they've revealed now is considered the greatest compassion among compassionate people, right?
You say you practiced along, but didn't get any results. I can only tell you that for those who cultivate, time really doesn't matter. If you only practice for a short period of time, a day or two, or even a month, a year or two, and you don't achieve anything, you might think it's useless or even disbelieve it. Not to mention those who call it superstition. People who don't understand shouldn't talk nonsense.
Actually, we read a lot of books now, and there are many things that science can explain. So why is it that those who receive the transmission of Taoism often have a high level of education? Many things require a certain level of cultural understanding to comprehend, contemplate, and even interpret what the ancients left behind. Some people haven't read enough books to understand, while others directly observe and learn from the public. Some people can recall their past and present lives' practices upon seeing certain things. Therefore, some practices naturally reside in other people's minds. But you, in your past and present lives, were nothing more than an ordinary person, neither possessing spiritual roots nor special opportunities. So, you are only cultivating in this life. Even if you cultivate well, you will only benefit in the next life. What benefits do you gain from your cultivation in this life? First, you can reflect on yourself; second, you can correct yourself. This is just my observation as an outsider.
This is Lin Yue's explanation to the public, left for some leaders who came to ask her questions after hearing that she had woken up from her seclusion. Many people in reality don't understand, so let me tell you a little story. An uncle who knew some magic said, "You see, many people used to buy new cars, and they would always stick a few chicken feathers to the back of the car. They would kill a rooster, add a few drops of its blood, and stick them to the back of the car. When others drove it out, they could tell it was a brand new car that had just hit the road. It's quite funny, isn't it?"
Actually, if you buy a new car and have a newly crowed rooster perform a simple ritual, hoping the car won't have any accidents, the effect is immediate the moment the blood drips onto your car. So why stick a few chicken feathers on someone's car? Some ritual masters take a certain amount of money and do nothing, since ordinary people can't see it. They only leave this visible place to show that they performed the ritual and received payment.
Specifically, it means that even if you didn't stick those chicken feathers on the car, the ritual still had an effect. The effect was the same; it was just that some people, under pressure, had uninformed people stick two chicken feathers on the car to prove the ritual was performed. But some experts know that as long as you recite the incantation, write the talisman, and kill the chicken, the car will be fine and won't encounter any evil spirits while driving at night. Can you explain that to an ordinary person? No, you can't, right? Actually, there are many such cases in real society.
So when the leaders asked a lot of questions, Lin Yue's explanations were simple and easy to understand, and she explained everything clearly to them.
A young man asked, "Teacher Lin, can you tell me why the quality of folk Taoist priests varies so much? Some charge a lot of money, while others charge a little. What is it like to perform a ritual?"
Lin Yue said, "I haven't been in this world for over 30 years; I've been in seclusion. But regarding your question, I can't give you a definitive answer; I can only reply with my limited understanding. In this world, those who cultivate vary greatly in ability. Their methods differ, their cultivation time differs, their comprehension differs, and therefore their levels of attainment differ. What you've encountered is a sorcerer or magician, not a true Taoist. You're bound to ask, what are the three types of sorcerers, magicians, and Taoists?" Is there a difference? Definitely. So, is there a big difference between those with magic and those without? Let me explain: among practitioners of magic, sorcerers, and Taoists, there are varying levels of skill. It's like education—from elementary to middle to high school. Some people may lack ability, but through perseverance and diligence, they can still reach the top. Others may be intelligent, but without effort, they remain at a lower level. Similarly, among Taoists, there's a hierarchy, respect for teachers, senior and junior disciples, and those with profound magical abilities who can articulate their methods clearly. You might ask, how do we distinguish them? From their clothing—yellow robes, purple robes, what kind of robes? Lin Yue sighed. Clothing is merely a public indicator of status. A truly skilled person might not wear such clothes or follow such a form, but a true fraudster might not wear these things and might even exaggerate and deceive. So, how can ordinary people distinguish them?
