He Yuanyuan couldn't understand what Lin Yi was doing.

How could they pay first?

It was like bargaining for vegetables. If they had already paid, what was the point of bargaining?

And this was 500 million, not 500!

"What's the rush?" Lin Yi said.

"With Cisco's current size, it's impossible to get them to make 2.5 billion in a short time. Even if you pressure them, it's useless. If you push too hard, it'll be easy to ruin the project."

"What's the point of doing this?"

"Paying a deposit of 500 million in advance is the best way to show our sincerity. It'll make them completely believe in the credibility of the project," Lin Yi said.

"Even if they can't complete the order and get the remaining 2.5 billion dollars, they'll figure it out on their own."

"Didn't you say that Cisco doesn't have that much power? Even if we pressure them, it won't work, right?" He Yuanyuan said. "Then what's the difference between sending the money first and sending it later?"

"There's a big difference," Lin Yi said. "Are you still willing to take out the money that has already gone into your pocket?"

"If you send 500 million to them, they might just immediately put the orders into production and put pressure on themselves. Cisco can only endure the situation and won't be able to get the rest of the money even if they die in the process."

He Yuanyuan was silent for a long time, as if she understood what Lin Yi meant.

"You mean they will seek financing for the remaining 2.5 billion?"

"That's right!" Lin Yi said.

"Other than financing, they have no other way to meet the order, so our goal will be achieved."

He Yuanyuan guessed that if Lin Yi's plan succeeded, Cisco would probably be cheated to death.

It seemed like they really had to invite Buddha back. With a boss like this, there would be a lot of immoral tasks waiting for them in the future.

Making money was secondary, saving herself was more important.

"Oh right, I still have something to say." Lin Yi said.

"What we said just now was just a guess. Although the possibility is very high, we still have to pay attention to whether Cisco has any thoughts of financing. You and Old Qi keep an eye on it. Whether or not you can get a year-end bonus depends on this."

"Boss, isn't it a bit unethical for us to do this?"

"Did you forget what the impotent man said?"

"I didn't forget," He Yuanyuan said. "Lin, when I was shopping at a certain shop earlier, I saw that the Lightning Rod was 50% off, and it even includes delivery fee. Do you want one?"

"Are the things in the shop that expensive?" Lin Yi said. "See if Pinduoduo has one. Go get one for me."

After hanging up, Lin Yi found a place to sleep and left the six girls on the ship to Zhang Song. As for whether he could handle it or not, it depended on his own ability.

That afternoon, the group returned to the dock by boat. Zhao Weiran and the others were still a little unsatisfied, but that was it for today.

"How do you feel? I think the six girls are pretty good. Do you like them?"

"No." Zhang Song said tiredly.

"That arrogant?" Lin Yi said, "Zhao Weiran and Jin Qiao are both pretty good, right? You still don't like them?"

"Their game skills are too weak." Zhang Song sighed. "Their bodies might be a match for me, but our souls are not in alignment."

Lin Yi scratched his head. What the f*ck was this?

"Boss, do you know any girls who are good at video games?"

"Yes."

Lin Yi didn't hesitate and gave Sugar's account ID to Zhang Song.

After returning from Wangjiang Dock, Lin Yi took Zhang Song to a famous restaurant in Zhonghai and had a good meal.

"Let's go back and sleep early today. We're going to hike up a mountain tomorrow," Lin Yi said.

"Hiking a mountain is out of the question. I've already booked my plane ticket back," Zhang Song said.

"You're going back so early? It wasn't easy for you to come here. Why don't you stay a few more days? It's all the company's funds anyway."

"I also want to stay here for a few more days, but during the day, my boss sent me a message to inquire about the progress of the project here. He told me to go back as soon as possible after I'm done. The company still has a lot of tasks waiting for me," Zhang Song said.

"Boss, don't worry. This project will continue for a period of time. It's possible I'll come to Zhonghai in a few days time. I'll have to trouble you then."

"Alright then. Work is more important, so I won't force you. Call me when you come back."

"Of course. Who's going to receive me if I don't call you?"

Zhang Song laughed evilly.

"You've been receiving me for the past few days, saving me a lot of travel expenses. After returning to Yanjing, I'll change my broadband connection to fiber, and no one will complain that my internet speed isn't good anymore."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin and suddenly realized that his ex-girlfriend, Yue Jiao, seemed like a nice person.

She was a bit of a slut, but at least she didn't mind that his head had been kicked by a donkey.

After dinner, Lin Yi took Zhang Song for a round of shopping.

He didn't want to waste a good girl's time with someone with such a low IQ.

Lin Yi gave Zhang song an Xbox and PS3, which would help him along his lonely road to old age.

The next morning, Lin Yi put Zhang Song's luggage into the trunk and drove him to the airport.

Back at home, Lin Yi swam a few laps in the cool pool, clearing his mind.

He sorted out the things in front of him.

Cisco had fallen into his trap, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

All he needed to do now was to wait.

After Cisco received the deposit of 500 million dollars, they would desperately think of a way to complete the remaining 2.5 billion chip order.

However, if they wanted to complete this mission, Cisco alone wouldn't be able to do it.

Based on the current situation, they had two options. On the phone, he only discussed the first possibility with He Yuanyuan.

It was to use Chip 1.0's influence to build up the credibility of the industry and madly raise funds in the hands of the capitalists.

With Cisco's current position, it was not a big problem to get a large amount of financing.

However, there was a second possibility.

The order for the photolithography machine that Longxin wanted had been sabotaged. Unsurprisingly, this had to be due to the capital behind Cisco. Otherwise, with Cisco's ability, they would not have been able to stop ASML from abandoning the deal.

Thus, it was obvious that the capital behind Cisco were the true perpetrators behind this.

This was the second option Cisco could take, which was to borrow money from the capital behind it.

However, the possibility of this was lower.

He'd been in the business world for so many years. If Cisco didn't even have the ability to raise such a small amount of capital, then he'd really be wasting his time.

Lin Yi closed his eyes to rest. He had the absolute right to take the initiative in Cisco's matter.

Once they used up all their manpower and resources and were ready to deliver the goods, it would be time for him to make his move!

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yi's face.

From here on out, it was hard to say who would go down in the history books of the chip industry.

Lin Yi put Cisco aside for the time being.

What he needed to do next was tackle the issue surrounding the photolithography machine.

It was an indispensable tool for making chips.

However, other than ASML, the products made by other international manufacturers did not meet his requirements.

It was just that the road to ASML was now blocked.

Lin Yi didn't have any other choice.

He could only develop and manufacture it through Longxin itself.

It was just that he hadn't found out who the spy was yet, which was quite annoying.

Lin Yi stretched his back. He needed to talk to Lu Ying and Sun Fuyu about this.

With that thought in mind, Lin Yi called Sun Fuyu.

"Mr. Lin, you wanted to see me?" Sun Fuyu said politely after he picked up the phone.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Call Lu Ying, I'll treat you both to lunch." Lin Yi said with a smile

The spy was still at the research institute, and Lin Yi decided to change the venue to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The photolithography machine was the most important thing right now, and Lin Yi didn't want to take any risks, so he decided to discuss it somewhere else.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony with you." Sun Fuyu said with a smile. "Where are we going to eat?"

"The Crab King's Palace. We'll meet at the entrance in an hour."

"Okay."

Lin Yi got out of the pool, changed his clothes, and drove out.

Lin Yi's mind didn't stop at all during this process.

Although he already had the master's memory in his mind, and all the knowledge of chips was stored in his mind, he didn't have absolute confidence in the development of the photolithography machine.

In the entire world, the only top-notch photolithography machine technology was firmly in the hands of ASML.

To surpass them and create a photolithography machine that belonged to China would be an extremely difficult task. It wasn't as simple as writing code. This would be a huge challenge!

Hutong!

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about these things, he suddenly saw a person on a motorcycle crash into his car.

"You can even get hit by this?"

Fortunately, they had just passed the red light and the car didn't start very quickly. Otherwise, something worse might have happened.

"Ouch, I'm dead."

After getting out of the car, Lin Yi saw an old woman sitting on the ground, clutching her legs. Beside her was her motorcycle, with some fruits and vegetables scattered on the ground.

It was as if the sky was falling down.

Seeing the accident at the intersection, many people gathered around to watch the show.

It was because of this old woman had crashed into a Bentley.

However, under such circumstances, the old woman on the motorcycle was the weaker party. He didn't know what the traffic police would do.

"How do you drive? Don't you know how to look around?"

Lin Yi was speechless as he pointed at the traffic light ahead.

"There's a green light ahead, and I'm driving normally. You're the one who suddenly charged at me in the opposite direction, and you're blaming it on me? Can you be reasonable?"

"What do you mean by driving normally? If you hit me, you'll be responsible. pay up!" The old lady shouted.

"I feel like my bones are about to break. If I go to the hospital, I won't be able to make it without spending at least 80,000 to 100,000."

"I haven't had the nerve to ask you for money yet, but you're asking me for money like a hungry lion."

"Young man, how can you say that? I'm a motorcyclist. You've injured me. Don't you want to pay for it? What's the matter? Do you think you're that good just because you drive a BYD? Let me tell you, my son drives a BMW. He's much richer than you."

"BYD?"

What the hell, BYD!

Even though the car's logo was B, there was a difference.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy that your car is worthless?" The old woman shouted.

"Even if this is the new BYD, it's not as valuable as my son's BMW. Stop pretending to be rich!"

"Let's cut the crap and wait for the traffic police."

Lin Yi called the police, and the traffic police arrived quickly.

"Traffic police comrade, you're just in time. This man hit me, what do you think we should do?" The old woman's mouth was like a machine gun, and she kept prattling to the traffic police.

"I feel weak all over. I need to go to the hospital for a check-up and ask him to pay for my medical expenses."

The traffic policeman didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Yi's Bentley instead.

It wasn't a serious crash, but the Bentley was the most expensive model under the Bentley brand. The repair fee would be at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

"Auntie, don't worry. We need to take a look at the surveillance footage first before we decide on who is responsible for the accident. If he really hit you, we'll definitely seek justice for you."

"Do you still need to look at the surveillance footage? I was knocked down by him while he is completely fine. This matter is obvious," the auntie said relentlessly:

"I am a disadvantaged person. You have to stand on my side and speak for me."

"Calm down. I know you are a disadvantaged person, but we have to rely on evidence."

Seeing the traffic police's stern face, the Auntie did not speak.

Soon, the traffic police pulled up the surveillance video of the intersection and studied it with his colleagues for a few minutes before saying,

"When the accident happened, the traffic light was green. The Bentley was driving normally. It did not show a turning signal, and there were no signs of it steering. You were going in the opposite direction, so you have to take full responsibility. You have to take care of your own medical expenses, and you have to compensate the owner of the car for the damage."

"What did you say?! He isn't responsible?" The old woman couldn't take it anymore. She directly sat on the ground and started rolling around.

"He hit me like this, yet you actually say he isn't responsible? How can that be! Believe it or not, I'll file a complaint against you!"

"Then tell me, what is he responsible for?" The traffic police said rudely.

"Do you think we have to check to see if all the buildings around us are too tall for you to commit suicide from before proceeding to tear them down, all just for you?"

"Well, I am a motorcyclist. I am injured, so does he bear no responsibility at all?"

"No, because you are in the wrong," the traffic policeman said,

"Apart from that, I think you should be concerned about the compensation amount. This owner's car sells for more than 4 million on the market, and the cost of repairing the car is at least 300,000. You should think about how to pay for it."

"What nonsense!" The old woman said excitedly,

"How can a lousy BYD be so expensive? Don't think that you can fool me just because I'm old!"

"First of all, look carefully. Although the car's logo is B, it's different from BYD. This car's brand name is Bentley, and it sells for more than four million. As a traffic policeman, I won't joke with you like this."

"Haha…"

"This old lady is really interesting. She actually mistook the Bentley for BYD. This is the first time I've seen such a thing."

"The traffic policeman is too awesome. We should teach her a lesson. These people ride broken motorcycles on the street every day and don't follow the traffic rules. We must give them a taste of their own medicine!"

"The repair cost is at least 300,000 dollars. I reckon she won't be able to afford it even if she loses all her money."

"Even so, we have to make her pay for it. We definitely can't tolerate people like these who have no respect for the rules!"

Hearing the discussions of others, the old lady raised her voice.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. Isn't it just 300,000 dollars? My son has money. He can afford to pay for it!"

This kind of reply made everyone a little surprised. They didn't expect this old lady who rode a motorcycle to have a rich family.

The old lady took out her phone and dialed her son's number.

"Son, where are you? I was hit by a car at the street near the market. They want me to pay for it. Come and take a look."

The old lady hung up, but Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to leave. He sent a message to Sun Fuyu, asking them to wait a little longer.

About twenty minutes later, a white BMW 7 series stopped in front of the old lady.

The door opened and a chubby young man in his thirties got out of the car. He was wearing glasses and had a refined aura.

"Mom, how are you? Are you okay?" The young man asked worriedly.

"I feel uncomfortable from head to toe, but the traffic police are still talking to that man. They want me to pay for it. Don't you know a lot of people? Think of a way to complain to them!"

The young man followed the old woman's gaze and was shocked when he saw Lin Yi.

"President Lin, is that you?"

Report chapter

Lin Yi's gaze lingered on her son the moment he laid eyes on him.

It wasn't until he called him President Lin that he was able to confirm his identity.

If Lin Yi was not mistaken, this man should be the lab technician in the institute, and his name was Du Xuehong.

He'd been in Longxin for more than six years.

He was the most senior person apart from Sun Fuyu.

"What a coincidence, running into you here." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I know, right?" Du Xuehong said.

"I'm really sorry, My mom's safety awareness is too weak. We were wrong to crash into your car." Du Xuehong bowed repeatedly and apologized to Lin Yi.

"Look at this mess. If I knew it was your mother, I wouldn't have pursued this matter."

No one in the crowd had expected such a turn of events.

The son of the old lady was a subordinate of the owner of the Bentley.

From the way they talked, they seemed to have a good relationship. This matter should thus be able to be swept aside.

"Son, this young man is your leader?" The old woman asked in surprise.

"That's right, he's the director of our research institute."

"Look at how bad this is."

The old woman bowed to Lin Yi as well, "Young man, I was being unreasonable just now. Don't lower yourself to my level. Didn't the traffic police say that your car is quite expensive? We'll definitely compensate you. Don't hold a grudge against my son in your heart."

Du Xuehong's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal and it was not noticed by the others.

"Professor Du is a researcher in the institute. Our relationship is very good. It's fine if you want to compensate me, but I'm not lacking either."

"Aiyo, that's great. In the future, I will definitely get my son to do more work for you. I will definitely not let him slack off."

"Then I'll have to thank you, Auntie."

At that moment, the traffic policeman walked over.

"Since you guys know each other, things will be easier. Do you want to settle this privately, or do you want to go through the judicial process?"

"We'll settle it privately." Lin Yi smiled. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It was not hard at all. It's what I should have done. You guys just need to settle this peacefully."

"I will."

After watching the two traffic policemen leave, Lin Yi smiled at Du Xuehong.

"This car looks pretty good. It should cost more than a million."

"No, no, no, President Lin, you misunderstand. How could I afford such a good car?" Du Xuehong said nervously.

"Didn't you give each of us a 500,000 dollar bonus a few days ago? I used that money to buy a used car from a friend."

"So it's a used car." Du Xuehong's mother said in disappointment.

"Didn't you say it was new?"

"I said that out of respect." Du Xuehong said,

"President Lin is my boss. There's no need to pretend in front of him."

"You're right."

"It's nothing serious." Lin Yi said with a smile,

"I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll ask the financial department to transfer 100,000 dollars to you. Take Auntie to see a doctor. If it's not enough, tell me again and I'll take full responsibility."

"Aiyo, you can't do that. It's not that big of a deal for me, it's just a scratch on my knee. I'll just go back and disinfect it. You don't have to take it to heart."

"How could I do that? It's not just a small thing. I'll definitely take responsibility for this."

Lin Yi waved his hand at Du Xuehong. "I'll be leaving first."

"Okay, okay, okay. Take care, President Lin."

Lin Yi nodded and drove away, muttering to himself,

"This Du Xuehong isn't very honest."

Soon, Lin Yi arrived at the Crab King's Palace. Sun Fuyu and Lu Ying had been waiting for him for a long time.

Sun Fuyu's outfit was still as normal as before.

However, Lu Ying's outfit made Lin Yi's eyes light up.

With a white half-sleeve Louis Vuitton top, blue denim shorts, and a pair of Air Jordan 1's, she completely flipped Lin Yi's understanding of female professors.

"President Lin, Little Ying's outfit isn't bad, is it? It's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best in our research institute, right?"

"The outfit is pretty average, but the legs aren't bad."

If it was in the past, Lin Yi would think that Lu Ying's outfit was pretty good.

However, after interacting with Ji Qingyan for a long time, he suddenly felt that this outfit was not very impressive anymore.

"President Lin, don't look down on us. The girls at Tsinghua University are also very good at dressing up. It's just that I was in a hurry to come out today, so I didn't have time to change," Lu Ying said.

"Yeah, I think Little Ying's outfit is pretty good too."

"When it comes to you old straight guys who only know how to do research, your aesthetic standards are stuck at the era of plaid shirts and denim shorts," Lin Yi said with a laugh.

The three of them arrived at the Crab King's Palace. Since it was noon, there weren't many people here to eat. It was a three Michelin star restaurant, so there was only one occupied table in the entire restaurant.

Lin Yi asked for a private room and ordered something to fill his stomach first.

"President Lin, you invited us here in the middle of the day. You must have something important to tell us, right?"

Lin Yi threw down the crab leg in his hand. "How's the situation with the photolithography machine? Did you continue negotiating?"

"Yes," Sun Fuyu replied. "But they are being very tough. They kept saying that there was something wrong with our international reputation and refused to cooperate."

"Look at Little Ying's eyes. She hasn't slept well for days because of this."

Lu Ying was in charge of the distribution of the chips under Lin Yi.

She was the one who was most anxious about not being able to buy a photolithography machine right now.

"Since we can't go through ASML, we'll just have to find another way." Lin Yi said.

"Another way?" Lu Ying combed her hair. "Other than ASML, only Nikon's photolithography machine can perform at the international standard."

"But in the field of photolithography machines, Nikon has been slowly eliminated. The photolithography machine they produce only has a beam of 12 nanometers, while the lithography machine produced by ASML has already reached the level of five nanometers. The gap is too big. Even if we buy it, it's impossible for us to use this to occupy the international market. This will be hard and unrewarding."

"I know that," Lin Yi said,

"So my idea is…" Lin Yi paused. "That we make our own photolithography machine."

Sun Fuyu was enjoying the king crab's thigh, but he stopped what he was doing as soon as he heard Lin Yi's words.

Lu Ying was the same, looking at Lin Yi as if he was a lunatic.

If Longxin could make a photolithography machine that could scale down to five nanometers, then its contribution to the high-tech industry would be no less than developing a cutting-edge chip.

"Keep eating. Why are you all staring at me?"

"Mr. Lin, are you sure you're not joking? Are you really going to make your own photolithography machine? This is a big project!"

"Actually, I was going to make a photolithography machine sooner or later, but now I'm moving it forward. After all, the chip is the final product. It is a sharp weapon that can break the technological blockade, but since ASML is doing this, I can only put the lithography machine further forward on the agenda."

Lin Yi took a sip of the red wine.

"We're all groping our way through the wilderness, and we're bound to fall at some point. Our heads will be bleeding, but if we fall like this, the Chinese people won't be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. Therefore, however they try to restrict us, I'll still do it."

"I'll kill whoever stands in front of us."

"If a ghost stands in front of me, I will catch it."

"If a god stands in front of me, I will slaughter him to prove my belief!"

Report chapter

The two of them were shocked by Lin Yi's ambition when he proposed making a domestic chip.

Sun Fuyu and Lu Ying both felt that they had underestimated the man in front of them.

His ambition was bigger than they had imagined!

It was so big that they couldn't even fathom it!

"Now I'll give you two ideas to try." Lin Yi put down the red wine in his hand and said.

"The first is to research our own EUV light source. This is the most advanced technology in the world. It's because of this technology that ASML has become a giant in the photolithography field. If we can develop it, we can break ASML's monopoly."

The two of them nodded. They were both researchers and experts in the field of semiconductor chips, so they naturally knew everything about this.

"What about the second direction?" Lu Ying said impatiently,

"The second plan is to change the medium," Lin Yi said,

"If you want the wavelength of the light source to be shorter, you can achieve it by refraction."

"Take water as an example. The refractive index of water is 1.33. If a 100-nanometer light source is refracted by water, the wavelength will become 75 nanometers. If you find other mediums, the wavelength will become shorter."

Lin Yi looked at the two of them. "You should understand what I mean now, right?"

The two of them froze on their chairs. If the method to study the EUV light source was considered normal, then the method to change the wavelength by refraction was considered unorthodox!

What was going on in his head?

How did he come up with these things?

Lin Yi ignored their shocked expressions, "What you need to do now is recruit people. This is a job that will burn through money, so don't worry about the funding. I need you to recruit the best scientists in the world to do this. You need to overcome this obstacle in the shortest time possible."

Lin Yi's words inspired both of them.

The terminal program for the chip 2.0 had already been developed.

In other words, as long as they developed a high-end lithography machine, the problem surrounding the high-end chip would be solved!

If so, they would break the technological blockade imposed by foreign countries and take the lead!

However, this project was beyond Sun Fuyu and Lu Ying's imagination. They couldn't even see the light at the end of the tunnel.

They didn't know how much money they would have to spend, how many people they would need, or how long it would take to complete this arduous task.

Just like what he said before, the path of exploration was filled with fog and thorns.

Moreover, if they fell down on this path, it would be very difficult for them to stand up again in the future.

"We'll do our best!"

Lin Yi nodded. "You guys go ahead. I'll get someone to send one billion over later to use it for the initial stage of research and development." Lin Yi said.

"Same old rules. Only the two of you will know about this. At this stage, our work will still have to be absolutely confidential. There can't be any mistakes."

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi continued,

"In a few days, I'll find a new place for the two of you to set up a photolithography lab. This is the best I can do. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Understood, President Lin. We won't let you down!"

"Alright, let's not talk about useless things. Let's eat first."

"Okay!"

Although the photolithography was on the agenda, they still had to eat.

"Oh, there's something I want to ask you guys. Do you know anything about Du Xuehong?" Lin Yi asked.

"Old Du?" Sun Fuyu didn't understand why Lin Yi would mention him.

He was a senior in the institute.

However, his ability was rather average. There was still a gap between him and Lu Ying.

He wasn't even as good as Liu Chu, who had been kicked out.

"President Lin, he's fine. Why did you bring him up? Do you want to transfer him to the photolithography project?"

"That's not it. I'm just asking. Just tell me about his situation."

"He's a good person. Although he doesn't have any outstanding results, he's conscientious and hasn't made any big mistakes. The only problem is that he spends money extravagantly and likes to gamble. But this is a personal problem and it doesn't have much to do with his work. In general, it's okay."

"Likes to gamble?"

Lu Ying nodded, "Didn't you give us a bonus of 500,000 a few days ago? I heard that Brother Du took this money and went to a casino with his sister-in-law. I'm guessing he won a lot. Every day when I go to work, he always seems happy. He even took the initiative to buy me coffee several times."

"He even took the initiative to buy you coffee?" Sun Fuyu joked.

"I think this kid has a thing for you, right?"

"Sun Bro, don't make fun of me. I don't have a thing for him," Lu Ying said.

"What kind of car does he drive?" Lin Yi asked

"Volkswagen. HU A67391. I remember it well," Sun Fuyu said.

"He's still driving it?" Lin Yi asked

"Yeah," Sun Fuyu said. "He's always been stingy with himself. He just goes to gamble when he had some extra money."

Sun Fuyu's words confirmed Lin Yi's suspicions.

The mole in the institute was most likely this Du Xuehong.

He was probably a veteran gambler, going to the casino as soon as he got rich.

There were a lot of strange things going on here.

He drove a BMW 7 series with a pure imported 6.6 T engine. It sold for more than two million in China, which was more than double the price of the 7 series he bought for Wang Ying.

And his car was the latest model. Even at a discount, it was impossible to buy it for just 500,000 dollars.

Secondly, his mother's attitude was also very suspicious.

When the traffic police asked her to pay 300,000 dollars, she did not show any panic and even shouted that her family could afford to pay.

In other words, their family's savings must be more than 300,000 dollars.

Of course, he could have won the money in Macau.

However, after winning so much money, he drove a 100,000-dollar car to work. This did not follow the logic of a normal person.

Let alone a man, even a woman who made a lot of money would want to change to a better car to keep up their appearances. Therefore, Du Xuehong's series of actions seemed to reveal his suspicious nature.

It would be difficult to win such a large sum of money just by gambling.

He had to investigate this person when he had the time.

It seemed more appropriate to let Qin Han do this kind of matter.

However, he couldn't touch him right now. He had to continue leaving this bait out as he might just catch a bigger fish from Cisco.

About an hour later, Lin Yi got up when he saw that both of them had stopped eating.

"Keep what we discussed today between the three of us. Don't tell anyone else."

"Got it, President Lin. We won't say anything."

"Don't be so nervous. I'm not a capitalist who eats people."

"But President Lin gave me a different feeling."

"How is it different? Is it because of my looks?"

"That's not it." Sun Fuyu smiled.

"As a boss, I can't understand why you don't have any female underlings."

Lin Yi was speechless.

Were all men of science and technology this flirtatious?

"Brother Sun, you're making fun of me again," Lu Ying said shyly.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin as he looked at Lu Ying.

"If that's the case, then a female PhD from Tsinghua University is pretty good." Lin Yi said.

"President Lin, you're making fun of me too." Lu Ying said.

"It's no fun like this. We should go to a bar if you want to have fun," Sun Fuyu said with a laugh.

Lin Yi laughed as well, thinking that Sun Fuyu was such a typical tech guy.

He usually looked serious, but he was full of dirty talk in private.

However, after thinking about it, he realized this was the most obvious trait of a tech guy.

After all, he'd been like this as well when he was in school.

"Alright, I've said everything I need to say." Lin Yi said. "Although the photolithography project is already on the agenda, we can't let the chip system fall behind."

"Understood, President Lin."

After the meal, Lin Yi drove away, ready to continue taking orders.

By 5 pm, Lin Yi had taken six orders in total. Three were good, two were moderate, and one was bad.

The reason for the bad review was the same. It was because Lin Yi didn't want to take out the trash.

At this time, the mission progress had reached (15/20). Lin Yi rubbed his hands together, feeling like the ultimate reward was waving at him.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang at this time. It was Wang Ying calling.

"Ying Sis, what's the matter?"

"Yo, what kind of tone is that? Can't I look for you if nothings going on?" Wang Ying said with a smile.

"Of course you can, but if you come looking for me when there's nothing going on, then you might be heading toward an accident."

"Then let's have a car crash."

"No problem."

"Alright, stop fooling around." Wang Ying said with a smile.

"I'm free tonight. Do you have time? Come with me to practice driving. I haven't touched the car since I bought it. I'm a little itchy."

"I'm free, so let's go to the outer ring. There aren't many cars there tonight."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be home around six. I'll make you something good." Wang Ying said. "We can practice driving after dinner. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I can cook now." Lin Yi said. "Do you want to try my cooking?"

"Really? A man like you can cook?"

"Of course. I just learned how. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"I'm not picky. I'll like everything you cook," Wang Ying said with a smile.

"Then I'll let you eat something below."

"Sure," Wang Ying said. "But you have to wash it."

Lin Yi, "…"

F*ck, a female driver had passed him.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Ying laughed out loud, not caring about her image. She was very proud of herself.

He looked at the time and saw that it would be only six o'clock in an hour, so he turned on her phone and took another order.

This time, Lin Yi's good looks showed its advantage once again.

A 40-something-year-old aunty was smitten by Lin Yi. Not only did she give him a five-star review, but she also gave him a 10-dollar tip.

Not only that, her daughter-in-law also found a reason to add Lin Yi on wechat. This was very interesting.

After leaving the house, Lin Yi saw the five-star review on his phone and felt gratified.

He still had some control over middle-aged women.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Yi drove to Wang Ying's house.

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a fragrant scent. Wang Ying was already cooking.

"Didn't I say that I was cooking? Why are you cooking?" Lin Yi asked.

"Didn't you say you were going to give me something to eat? What does cooking have to do with anything? I need to take a shower first."

"Ying Sis, I don't think you need to practice with your car anymore. You're even better at driving than I am." Lin Yi said.

"It's all thanks to you."

Wang Ying didn't cook much since she was going to learn how to drive.

The two home-cooked dishes were simple, but they tasted pretty good.

After dinner, Wang Ying went to change into a pair of denim shorts and flat shoes. Her plump thighs were very meaty.

There were a lot of cars in the city, so Lin Yi drove the car to the outer ring before handing it over to Wang Ying.

"The first step after getting into the car is buckling the seatbelt. This is the most important thing. You have to fix this action in your mind."

"It's like wearing a condom. It doesn't matter when nothing happens. However, if something happens, it's a big deal."

"Eh, that's more or less what I meant."

Lin Yi felt like he wasn't teaching Wang Ying how to drive. It was more like an exchange meeting between experienced drivers.

She'd gotten his driver's license, so she knew the basics. She just didn't dare to drive. Someone had to be there for her.

With Lin Yi's guidance, Wang Ying's driving skills improved significantly. At the very least, she didn't have to step on the brakes when there were fewer people around.

At this rate, she would be fine after a few more days of practice.

Lin Yi looked at the time and saw that it was 10 pm. "Let's call it a day. Let's head downtown now to train our courage."

"Can I do that? I've only been driving for a few hours."

"If you don't train, your driving skills will always remain like this. Don't worry, just drive boldly."

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Wang Ying said. "If anything happens, we'll be considered to have committed suicide."

"Then let's have a good time on the road to Hell." Lin Yi said

"Haha, I can't believe you're thinking of that."

After chatting for a while, Wang Ying's nervous mood improved a lot as they drove toward the city.

Creak…

Just as Lin Yi was observing their surroundings, Wang Ying suddenly stepped on the emergency brake, and her face almost hit the control panel.

"What's going on? Why did you step on the emergency brake?!"

Lin Yi noticed that Wang Ying wasn't saying anything and was looking out of the window with a dark expression.

Lin Yi didn't understand what was going on, so he turned his head back subconsciously.

On the road was a restaurant that specialized in seafood. There was a man and a woman standing in front of the door.

The man was in his early thirties and the woman looked slightly younger. She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and was wearing a black bodycon dress. However, her body was a little shriveled and the dress didn't look great on her.

"Let's go. My buddy just opened a bar. Let's go take a look," the man said.

"Yes, yes. You're going home in a few days so you have to playwith me well before then."

The man pinched the woman's butt. "What's the rush? I'm just going home for a few days. I can even use the excuse of going on a business trip to come back here."

"Hehe, that'll be best," the woman said. "Don't forget, when we were eating just now, you said that you would bring me to buy a bag tomorrow. You can't lie to me."

"Don't worry. We've been together for more than a year. When have I ever lied to you? We'll go tomorrow. It's just a bag. It's a piece of cake."

The content of the conversation was nothing new. After the two of them had walked far away, they could no longer hear the rest of the conversation clearly.

However, Lin Yi still didn't understand why Wang Ying was not reacting.

"Sister Ying, What's wrong with you? Do you want to eat seafood?"

"No." Wang Ying took a deep breath and said calmly, "That man is my husband."

"Huh?"

Lin Yi was stunned.

"Isn't he on a business trip? Did he come back early?"

"Maybe he hasn't even been on a business trip and is just lying to me."

Lin Yi finally understood what was going on. Her husband probably hadn't changed at all and was out fooling around again.

Lin Yi patted Wang Ying on the shoulder. "I'll drive. Calm down."

"I'm fine." Wang Ying said. "I'm an adult. I'm not as fragile as you think. Let me just digest this."

"What about after you digest it? What do you want to do?"

"What else can I do? Divorce, of course." Wang Ying said lightly, as if she'd already seen through it.

"They say you'd rather destroy ten temples than go back on a marriage, but at this point, I'm more in favor of a divorce. There's no need to waste time on him," Lin Yi said. "Call me if you need my help."

"Okay."

Wang Ying nodded, not saying anything else.

It was as if she'd already gotten into a fight over this, and she was now unusually calm as she drove.

She also became proficient in changing lanes and overtaking other cars, making Lin Yi shudder in fear.

They arrived at their house in less than thirty minutes.

It was terrifying.

"Thank you for today," Wang Ying said. "I won't keep you."

"No worries," Lin Yi said. "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, okay."

Lin Yi left alone after getting out of the car.

Although they didn't have feelings for each other anymore, she still had to calm down after she was cheated on.

The next morning, Lin Yi went to Lingyun group and found Ji Qingyan there.

Today, Ji Qingyan was wearing a beige floral dress. Her hands and arms were exposed as though they were glowing.

"Why are you here?"

Ji Qingyan held her cheek. "You don't want me here, President Lin? Should I leave now?"

"Sure." Lin Yi nodded. "If there's anything, we can talk about it at home. There's no need to come to the company."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. We've discovered some unspeakable secrets." He Yuanyuan teased.

"Boss, are you not letting senior come to the company because you're afraid of her checking up on you? It's a good thing I'm not wearing a black silk skirt today, or else it'd be easy for people to misunderstand."

"Cough, cough, cough…" Qi Xianzhao coughed. "Yuanyuan, why don't we leave for a while?"

"Stop fooling around." Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. "Yuanyuan asked me to come over and help her with the company's management system."

"Thank you for your hard work, President Ji." Lin Yi smiled. "I'll cook dinner for you at home tonight."

Ji Qingyan's face turned even redder. She stood up and pinched Lin Yi.

"You can cook delicious food, but don't say the word 'home'."

"How can I cook if we don't go home?"

"You can't say that either. It's embarrassing."

"Hmm? What's so embarrassing about that?"

"Do you not want to get married anymore? Or do you think you can conceive a child if we spend two nights here?"

"You're going to die!"Ji Qingyan was both embarrassed and angry. When was Lin Yi going to stop being so shameless?

"Well, Sister, Brother Qi and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving first," He Yuanyuan said. "There's a bed in the office that's quite sturdy. Don't worry about it."

"Why are you leaving? Just stay here," Ji Qingyan said. If the two of them left, it would be hard for her to explain herself.

Lin Yi laughed as he sat down on the chair.

"How's it going with the foundation?" Lin Yi asked.

"I've already set up the framework for its management, and I'm familiar with the operation patterns and procedures. I'll be hiring employees soon," Qi Xianzhao said.

"We need to set up the foundation as soon as possible. If we can keep it running smoothly and healthily, then you can leave it to focus on other things." Lin Yi said.

"Got it, President Lin."

"Boss, didn't you say that you wanted to set up an investment company? I've already prepared the procedures and plan to register it in the near future. Do you still have anything to remind me of? How much should I write down for the registered capital?"

"100 million will do. This isn't something that's set in stone. It doesn't matter how much it is."

"Oh right, there's something I need to tell you." Ji Qingyan said.

"When you get the license, remember to provide the relevant procedures and hide Lin Yi's basic information."

"Senior, do you not want others to find out about Lin Yi's business information through Tianya?"

Ji Qingyan nodded. "Although it's nothing serious, before you have a firm foothold, you have to hide as much as you can. The more things you expose, the worse it will be for you."

"Apart from that, when the company goes public, try to hide Lin Yi's name in the quarterly and annual reports as much as possible."

At that moment, Ji Qingyan was the only one who was aware of the uncertain possibilities in the future.

This was no longer the era where everyone fought for supremacy.

Today, the business structure had gradually stabilized. Lin Yi's sudden rise would definitely rub the interests of countless people. Therefore, the best choice was to hide him for as long as possible.

"Ah, President Lin's cooking was not for naught. This is the first time I've seen Senior Sister care so much about someone."

"What are you talking about?" Ji Qingyan said embarrassedly.

"In that case, I'm quite honored."

"No way." He Yuanyuan said. "I remember the last person that Senior Sister treated like this was her PE teacher."

"Huh? PE teacher?"

"Yeah, because she didn't do very well in PE. She helped the teacher take attendance for the whole semester and he only gave her 60 points."

"No way, she got 60 points in PE? How bad was she?"

"Don't say it." Ji Qingyan stood up. "Let's go, don't stay here."

"Sis, we haven't finished talking. Why are you and President Lin leaving?"

"We'll talk about it another time."

After saying this, Ji Qingyan dragged Lin Yi out with her.

Now that Ji Qingyan realized that Lin Yi and He Yuanyuan were the same type, she really wanted to put a zipper on their mouths.

"Are you still going to run errands today?" Ji Qingyan asked at the entrance of the building.

"I'll quit after a few days. I'm going to change my job."

"Don't do this kind of job again in the future. Don't make yourself suffer."

"Got it. I have a plan in mind."

The two chatted for a while before driving to Chaoyang Group.

Lin Yi turned on his phone and was about to take the job when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Yi?"

The person who spoke was a woman. Her voice was soft, pleasant to the ears, and a little familiar.

"Who are you?" Lin Yi asked

"I'm Guo Rui. You bought me a music stand and played a few games with my son." Guo Rui said.

Lin Yi remembered who she was. The first customer of his new career had been a young woman.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"It's like this. We have a performance today. One of my students suddenly fell ill and can't come. I don't have a suitable candidate, so I wanted you to come and help me," Guo Rui said politely.

"But don't worry. I won't have you come here for nothing. I can pay you a thousand dollars an hour. Do you think it's okay?"

"I don't care about the money. I'll come look for you now. Place an order."

To Lin Yi, money didn't matter. A five-star rating was the most important thing.

"You don't earn as much as this, do you?"

"It's okay. We're all acquaintances. I can't make any more money from you."

"Then how do I place the order? Can you get it if I place the order here?" Guo Rui said with a smile.

This little teacher sure had a sweet mouth.

"Where are you? I'll come find you," Lin Yi said. "Place the order face-to-face so I can ensure I get it."

"I'm at school. Can you come over?" Guo Rui asked politely.

"Sure, wait for me at the school gate in twenty minutes." Lin Yi said.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

At the entrance of the Zhonghai Drama Academy.

Due to the uniqueness of the school, there were a lot of students coming and going.

As one of the top three drama schools in the country, the Zhonghai Drama Academy was definitely the place where handsome men and beautiful women gathered.

If you saw a very good-looking girl at the school gate today, then a few years later, this person might just be one of the top female stars in the country.

In a school like the Zhonghai Drama Academy, both male and female students were very good-looking, which led to a large number of luxury cars parked here every day.

Some were here to pick up their girlfriends, some were here to pick up their boyfriends, and some were even here to pick up their godsons.

In short, all kinds of people had gathered here.

Guo Rui stood at the gate. The students who came in and out all greeted her, and Guo Rui would respond to them one by one.

Guo Rui's dress was solemn and formal. Although she was old, she was still able to wear her black dress easily. She looked very young with her nude stockings and black high heels.

"Nice to meet you, Teacher Guo."

Just as Guo Rui was waiting for Lin Yi, a tall girl walked beside her.

The girl who spoke was called Wang Yixuan. She was Guo Rui's favorite student.

The two of them were very close. When there was no one around, she would call her sister, and they were much closer than the average student and teacher.

She was also one of the two pianists in the orchestra.

"Okay." Guo Rui nodded. "It's almost time. Hurry up and get ready."

"Teacher, Jingjing can't come. It'll be hard for me to support the whole concert by myself," Wang Yixuan said worriedly.

"Don't worry. I've found a partner who will pretend to be a student of our school. It won't be a problem."

"Partner? Is his skill level okay?"

Wang Yixuan was a little worried.

Since he had to pretend to be a student, his age had to be similar to hers.

However, among his peers, his and Jingjing's skill level were both top-notch. Even on a national level, they were ranked among the very top.

So, could the teacher really get someone to match their level?

If there was a gap between their level, it would definitely affect the performance.

"Of course." Guo Rui smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Teacher, where did you find this person?" Wang Yixuan asked curiously.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. I won't tell you. I'll just keep you in suspense."

"Teacher, just tell me," Yixuan pulled on Guo Rui's arm and said coquettishly.

"You little girl, I really have to hand it to you." Guo Rui smiled. "I found you a partner from Meituan's errand app."

Yixuan's expression froze for a moment, thinking that she'd misheard.

"Teacher, what did you say? You found him on Meituan?"

"That's right, I found him on Meituan."

Guo Rui didn't explain much about Lin Yi's situation, preparing to surprise the little girl.

She wanted to show her that there was always someone better out there.

"Teacher, you're taking too much risk. You can't do this no matter how desperate you are."

"You guys just spend too much time in the ivory tower, looking down on this and that every day," Guo Rui lectured. "There are many powerful people in this world."

"Alright."

Since Guo Rui said so, Wang Yixuan couldn't refute.

"Teacher, my boyfriend is driving me there. Why don't we go together?"

"I won't go with you. Someone will come pick me up later."

Wang Yixuan chuckled. "Is brother-in-law coming to pick you up?"

"Your brother-in-law is on a business trip. He doesn't have time to pick me up."

Guo Rui's words confirmed Lin Yi's point once more.

Husbands of married women liked to go on business trips.

"Ya ya ya, there's something going on here." Wang Yixuan winked. "I'm starting to wonder who that person is."

"Get out of the way, don't be so rude," Guo Rui said.

"Hehe, I'm not leaving." Wang Yixuan looked Guo Rui up and down and said in a low voice.

"No wonder Teacher Guo is dressed so beautifully today. It turns out that there is an outsider coming to pick you up. I have to see who the mysterious person coming to pick you up is."

"You little girl, you are getting more and more impudent with me." Guo Rui deliberately said with a straight face.

"There is an orchestral performance today. Not only will there be foreign guests, but also the leaders of the major media companies. If I don't dress up, won't I be embarrassing to the school?"

"Teacher, I understand." Wang Yixuan winked and said, "It's my brother-in-law's fault for always going on business trips."

With that, Wang Yixuan skipped away and got into a Volkswagen sedan parked by the side of the road.

Guo Rui smiled and shook her head. "These kids nowadays don't even know how to keep their mouths shut."

"Oh, Teacher Guo, who are you waiting for here?"

Just as Wang Yixuan left, another voice came from beside Guo Rui.

The woman was about the same age as Guo Rui, but there was still a slight difference in her appearance and body.

The girl's name was Xu Shuang, and she was Guo Rui's colleague.

However, Guo Rui was a piano teacher, while Xu Shuang was in charge of the cello.

In the past, the two of them had a good relationship, but because Guo Rui had outstanding professional skills, she was promoted to a professor two years before Xu Shuang.

Since then, their relationship had become more delicate, and Xu Shuang could not swallow her anger.

Her standards were not bad, so why was Guo Rui promoted to a professor two years earlier than her?

"I'm waiting for someone," Guo Rui answered calmly.

"Is it an errand boy?"

Guo Rui frowned slightly. "How do you know?"

"I heard you talking to Yixuan just now."

Xu Shuang crossed her arms in front of her chest and gloated.

"No wonder you were promoted to a professor two years before me. Your methods are really extraordinary. You actually found an errand boy to take the job. This is really unexpected."

"You don't need to worry about that. I know what to do."

"I naturally don't care about Teacher Guo's matters," Xu Shuang said.

"We just happened to run into each other. I was thinking of bringing you there. My husband just bought a Range Rover. It's very comfortable to sit in."

"No need. I have a car too. We can go there by ourselves in a while," Guo Rui said.

"But won't it be a domestic car? I was thinking of letting you sit in an imported car so that you can experience it."

"Thank you for your good intentions, tTacher Xu."

Xu Shuang was about to say something when she heard a series of shouts.

"Oh my God, look, it's a supercar!"

"What brand is that? I don't think I've seen it before. Is it as good as a Lamborghini?" A long-haired girl said.

"Forget it. This car is called the Konigsegg Rs. It sells for 30 million in China. In front of this car, a Lamborghini is just a younger brother. It can't compete at all."

"No way, is this car that expensive? There are only a few of them in China."

"Which girl is in it? She's so lucky. Could it be the school beauty, Zhao Xuemo?"

"It's possible. No one but the school beauty Zhao is worthy of such a car."

Just as everyone was discussing, Lin Yi's Koenigsegg stopped at the school gate.

The window rolled down, and Lin Yi turned to Guo Rui.

"Get in."

Dumbfounded!

The people standing at the school gate were all dumbfounded.

No one had expected that this person was actually here to pick up Guo Rui!

"That little brother driving the car is too good-looking!"

"Even our school's best student is inferior to him, right?"

"The way he drives with one hand is so enchanting!"

Guo Rui wasn't the only one present. It was a long time before she came back to her senses.

Wasn't he an errand boy?

Why was he driving a supercar?

Could it be that Meituan had a luxury car business as well?

"Get in the car."

"Okay."

Guo Rui responded with a smile as she looked at Xu Shuang.

"I'm not taking your husband's Range Rover. I think this car should be faster."

Guo Rui got into Lin Yi's car and left the school under everyone's gaze.

Xu Shuang was so embarrassed that she was about to vomit blood.

Wang Yixuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Her kid's already in high school, and there's still a supercar coming to pick her up. Teacher Guo, you're the gold standard!"

Even at Guo Rui's age, she couldn't help but feel nervous after getting into Lin Yi's car.

She'd only seen luxury cars like this on the internet before, and this was the first time she was sitting in one.

Lin Yi realized that although she was old, her charm was still there, and her legs were quite good-looking.

He had to admit that a woman of Guo Rui's age was very steady. At least she didn't say that it was hot.

"The air-conditioning in your car is a little cold," Guo Rui said.

Lin Yi, "…"

Middle-aged women were the same. They were all so reserved.

"I'll turn it down then." Lin Yi said

"By the way, aren't you an errand boy on Meituan? Why are you driving a supercar?" Guo Rui asked curiously.

"It's more meaningful to live like this. I can't be a rich kid waiting to die." Lin Yi said.

"You can't fool me with that reason." Guo Rui said

"Just think of it as the company's new business," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Aware that this was a private matter, so Guo Rui tactfully stopped asking and changed the topic.

However, she still preferred the second possibility. She had never seen a rich kid run errands in a supercar before.

Thus, this should just be a new business model.

"How's your son doing? Is he serious about practicing?"

"Ever since he was lectured by you, he's been more focused on practicing and studying," Guo Rui said. "But there's something he wants me to ask you."

"Hmm? What is it?" Lin Yi asked

"The game you guys were playing is called King of Glory, right?" Guo Rui said,

"My son wants to ask you why your skills changed so quickly after you added him as a friend. That's pretty much it."

"Eh, I've been in a bad state recently, so my skills changed a little." Lin Yi said seriously. "Go back and tell your son that I'll be back to my normal state soon. I'll accompany him to kill everyone."

"I can't tell him that. If he gets addicted to it, it'll be terrible."

"You're right." Lin Yi nodded with a smile. "By the way, what do you need me to do later? Just play the piano, right?"

"Yeah, my other student is sick, so I'll have to trouble you to take her place."

Guo Rui suddenly remembered. "Do I have to place an order?"

"Yes, this is a serious matter. Don't forget to give five star a good review after this."

"No problem."

After placing the order, Lin Yi immediately snatched it. He felt like a five starreview was already waving at him.

This made his decision even firmer.

He cared so much about five star review. It was almost like a business requirement to him.

"Alright, I'll listen to your arrangements when we get there."

"Okay, thanks."

Soon, the two arrived at the Zhonghai Concert Hall.

The parking lot was full of cars, and there was no lack of luxury cars worth millions, which surprised Lin Yi a little.

"Are all these people here for the concert?" Lin Yi asked.

"This is an exchange concert with a foreign country, and many of the leaders of famous media companies in the country will also be there to select talents, so there are a lot of people here."

"Then I really have to be more serious. If I drop the ball, it'll be embarrassing for you." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. With your level, you're more than capable enough to handle such a performance." Guo Rui said.

"I'll try my best to make the performance perfect." Lin Yi said.

"Okay."

After parking the car, Guo Rui brought Lin Yi backstage.

There were at least fifty people here.

They were all holding different instruments in their hands, making final adjustments to ensure that the performance was flawless.

This wasn't just a performance, it was also a matter of whether they could enter the entertainment industry ahead of time. They had to treat it seriously.

Facing the new environment, Lin Yi wasn't nervous at all. He only felt that this concert was a bit lacking in terms of ethnic diversity.

It would be perfect if he could play the suona here.

"Who's this handsome guy? He's too good-looking."

"I don't think he's a student of our school. I've never seen him before."

"It doesn't matter if you've seen him or not. The important thing is whether he's easy to flirt with."

Lin Yi's appearance caused the girls present to start whispering amongst themselves. They had no time to fuss about the musical instruments in their hands.

"Let me introduce him to everyone. His name is Lin Yi. Zhang Jing suddenly fell sick, so he's taking her place. He'll be playing the piano with Wang Yixuan. I hope you can cooperate with him."

"He's playing with us?"

Some of the girls were secretly delighted. It was an honor to be on the same stage as such a handsome guy.

As she spoke, Guo Rui brought Lin Yi to the fitting room and helped him get a black suit.

After changing into the suit, the cries of surprise rose and fell like a tsunami.

"What kind of god-like figure is this? How can he wear a suit like this?"

"Suit killer, I can't stand it anymore. He's too handsome.".

"Do you think he'll give me his contact information if I ask him?"

"In your dreams. He is such a handsome man, and he is also versatile. How can we get our hands on him? It's better to prepare for the performance later. If any management company takes a fancy to him, he will be able to set foot in the entertainment circle in the future."

"You're right."

The gasps gradually subsided, and everyone shifted their gaze back to their own musical instruments.

Today's performance was extremely important. Everything else had to be put aside for the time being. They had to make sure that nothing went wrong

After a short commotion, the backstage became busy again.

Just then, Wang Yixuan walked in from outside.

She was surprised to see Lin Yi sitting there.

"Teacher Guo, why did you bring him backstage?"

"He's the one I found. Where else should he go?" Guo Rui said with a smile.

"No way, he's the errand boy?"

Wang Yixuan's expression was very interesting.

She thought that Lin Yi was Guo Rui's friend at first.

She didn't expect him to be an errand boy.

"But doesn't he drive a supercar? How can such a person be an errand boy?"

Guo Rui shrugged. "I'm not too sure about that. Maybe it's Meituan's new business line."

"After all that, it turns out that it's not his car." Wang Yixuan said with a little disappointment, "I thought it was a rich second generation."

The conversation between the two was overheard by the others.

Although they still didn't understand what the supercar was about, they could already confirm his identity.

"He's actually an errand boy?"

Everyone's expressions became unfriendly, and they didn't look as eager as before.

What was going on with Teacher Guo?

Even if her student couldn't come because she was sick, she couldn't get an errand boy to replace her, right?

Even though Meituan's advertisement said that Meituan's errand boy could do anything.

You couldn't rely on the advertisement, you had to look at the actual effect.

Chapter 211: Average

Guo Rui and Wang Yixuan didn't notice the change in the others' expressions as they continued to whisper to each other.

"What are you thinking about all day long? How do you know about the rich second generation?" Guo Rui lectured.

"The main thing is that he drives a supercar. It's normal for me to misunderstand his position," Wang Yixuan said:

"Besides, Teacher Guo is not that old and still charming. If he doesn't have some strength, he wouldn't be able to catch your eye."

"Go, go, go. What nonsense are you talking about?" Guo Rui said, "In short, he's not a rich second generation. Don't overthink things."

"You're right. I'm really thinking too much." Wang Yixuan whispered in Guo Rui's ear.

"There was a misunderstanding, but he's definitely handsome and has a good figure. You're too good, teacher. I still have a lot to learn from you."

"Go, go, go, don't talk nonsense here. Hurry up and tune the piano."

"Hehe, then I won't say anymore."

After chasing Yixuan away, Guo Rui walked up to Lin Yi and pointed at a piano not far away.

"The piano you're using is over there. You can go and test it first. I'll go and do something else. Call me if you need anything."

"No problem."

As the chief conductor of the show, Guo Rui was naturally the busiest. She only gave Lin Yi a few words of advice before going back to her own work.

Lin Yi found a chair and sat down, playing with his phone to kill time.

With his current level of skill, he could easily handle a performance like this. There was no need for him to practice in advance.

After Guo Rui left, the others gathered around Yixuan.

"Yixuan, what's going on? I heard from Teacher Guo that he's just an errand boy?"

"Yeah, because she couldn't find a replacement, Teacher Guo found one on Meituan's errand app." Yixuan said.

"But judging from his looks, he must have some skill. Otherwise, Teacher Guo wouldn't have done this."

"Even if he has some skill, he is still an errand runner. His skill is obvious. He shouldn't be on the same level as you and Jingjing, right?"

"Do you even need to say that? Jingjing and I have both won the gold medal in the National Piano Competition's youth category. There should still be a gap between him and the two of us," Wang Yixuan said.

"So I'm a little worried now. When I play later, I'm afraid that he won't be able to keep up with my rhythm. At that time, I'll have to lower the key and bring him along. If it affects the performance, don't blame me."

"What the hell? Doesn't Teacher Guo know the importance of this performance? To bring an errand boy here. Isn't she deliberately sabotaging things?"

"I don't care. If the show is sabotaged because of him, I will definitely talk to Teacher Guo."

"If you want to talk, talk now. If you wait until after the show, it might be too late."

"That's true," a boy wearing glasses said.

"Although Teacher Guo didn't see the reality clearly, isn't this kid a little too bold? Why doesn't he have any self-awareness? How could he accept such a deal?"

"These people nowadays are unscrupulous in the pursuit of money. They don't care whether your performance is successful or not. As long as they can get the commission, they won't care about the consequences."

"No, none of you can stop me. I'm going to talk to him. Even if he's someone Teacher Guo found, for our future's sake, I have to chase him away!"

"Don't be anxious. First, ask Yixuan if she can do this. It'll be a little difficult for her to lead the entire show by herself. We can't be too rash."

Everyone's gaze fell on Wang Yixuan, as if they were asking for her opinion.

"It'll definitely be a little difficult for me to do this by myself, but if it's him on stage, I might as well do it myself."

Yixuan knew that the show wasn't going to be an easy one, so she didn't dare to drag it out.

At the same time, she was a bit confused. Guo Rui wasn't the type to do something so rash. Why would she do something like that?

Could she really have some sort of secret relationship with this guy?

Why else would she bring him here?

It seemed like this was really possible. Such a handsome man could harvest women of any age.

"We're relieved to hear that from you." Pengfei said

The guy rolled his eyes and walked over to Lin Yi.

"Bro, let me introduce myself first. My name is Pengfei Zhang, and I'm also the cellist for this concert."Pengfei said.

"Hello, my name is Lin Yi."

Lin Yi didn't know why Pengfei was talking to him, but he still greeted him politely.

"The concert is about to start, so I won't beat around the bush with you," Pengfei said.

"This concert is very important to us, and it will even decide our future. We don't want to take any risks, so we hope that you can leave."

"Why should I leave?" Lin Yi asked.

"Your teacher placed an order with me, and the order hasn't been completed yet. If I leave, I won't be able to get a five-star review."

This concert was no small matter to Guo Rui. If he gave up at the critical moment, she would probably be angry too.

"It's just a five-star review. Do you have the heart to ruin our future because of such a small matter?"

Zhang Pengfei's expression was a little hysterical, and his tone was raised.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I'm here to accept an order. Why would it ruin your future? Is there a necessary connection?"

"Don't you know who you are? You're just an errand boy. Do you think you have the right to attend a concert like this?" One of the boys asked.

"That's right. You're not even one-tenth of Yixuan's level, and you can't even keep up with her rhythm. If we let you play, you'll definitely ruin this concert, and our future will be ruined," another boy said.

Lin Yi looked at Wang Yixuan and smiled.

"I don't know how good she is, but it's probably not to the extent that I can't keep up with her rhythm. You guys should be more worried about her."

"Are you kidding me? You're looking down on Yixuan? You're overestimating yourself." Pengfei was so angry that he had the urge to curse.

"Do you know how good Yixuan is? She's the champion of the National Piano Competition's youth category, and there were so many masters in that year. The value of this award isn't just for show."

"No wonder he ran errands. With such an arrogant personality, which organization would dare to hire him?"

"I don't think he has any other advantages other than his good looks."

"Calm down, all of you. Don't get too excited."

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.

"The standard of competition in the country is mediocre. Don't think too highly of it. A champion of the youth category, in my opinion, is at most average. It's not as great as you think."

"You're saying that Yixuan's level is average?"

Everyone had ugly expressions on their faces, and even the girls had looks of disdain on their faces.

This guy was too self-righteous.

He was pretty, but he was full of sh*t. It was obvious that he wasn't reliable!

This kind of guy wasn't attractive at all!

"It just means she's average," Lin Yi said.

"In your eyes, the youth champion is quite impressive, but the value of winning it is nothing special. It's all the publicity from the organizing committee. It's not as impressive as you think."

"How dare you!"

"Alright, stop talking!"

Yixuan suddenly said, looking at Lin Yi with an unfriendly expression.

"You keep saying that my championship isn't worth anything, but at least among my peers, no one is better than me."

"I'm not trying to hurt you. In truth, you do have some ability." Lin Yi said helplessly.

"I recognize your ability, so let's not bother about these things. I just want to finish this job and get a five-star review. You don't have to make things difficult for me."

"I don't like what you're saying," Wang Yixuan said.

"What do you mean you recognize my ability? My ability is recognized by all the famous people. What right do you have to recognize my standards?"

"Fine, whatever you say. I won't argue with you anymore." Lin Yi turned around. He really didn't want to argue with Wang Yixuan anymore.

"What right do you have to talk to me like that!" Wang Yixuan said. "You make it sound like you're better than me!"

"I'm not the best, but I should be better than you."

"Haha, you're talking too much. Who gave you the courage? Meituan?"

"If you think you're good, then you can play against Yixuan. Do you dare?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Playing against Yixuan is a good idea. There's still some time before the concert starts. We should have enough time."

Upon hearing the suggestion that he should play against her, Wang Yixuan raised her head.

"Don't you think highly of yourself? If you're really that good, you can compete with me. Do you dare?"

"I don't know." Lin Yi was speechless. "If you compare music, won't music itself lose its meaning? It's not something you can show off."

"Can I take that as you being scared?"

"Scared?" Lin Yi glanced at Yixuan. "Your level's right there. What's there for me to be scared of?"

"You're bragging, but you're just full of sh*t," Yixuan said.

"Yeah, if I don't dare, I don't dare. Why bother making excuses?" Lin Yi replied.

"You kept spewing nonsense earlier, but now you don't dare to back it up. You're like the keyboard warrior on the Internet!" Yixuan said.

"To think, I was going to ask him for his wechat just now. I was really blind."

Hu…

Lin Yi took a deep breath. "Actually, I didn't want to compete with you for fear of leaving a shadow on your pursuit of art. But you people don't seem to appreciate my kindness, so let's begin."

"At least you're still a man!"

"Come on, Yixuan, let's go with a difficult piece. Let's beat him!"

"With Yixuan's skill, there's no need to choose a difficult piece. He's just an errand boy, so there's definitely a limit to his skill. She can easily beat him with a simple song."

Yixuan's confidence soared as she looked at Lin Yi.

"Since you've agreed to compete with me, I have a request."

"What request?"

"If you lose, leave this place and don't delay our performance."

"What If you lose?"

Haha…

The people around burst into laughter. Some even burst into tears.

"Brother, what are you saying? Do you think you can win against Yixuan?"

"Yixuan has been playing the piano since she was five years old. When you were five years old, you probably didn't even know what a piano was."

"Don't you know that there's such a thing as talent in this world?"

"Talent? Then you really hit the nail on the head,"Pengfei said.

"Miss Guo once said that Yixuan is the most talented of all her students. She said that as long as Yixuan works hard, she'd even surpass her in ten years. You're talking about talent here?" Pengfei said. "Isn't that a bit of presumptuous?"

"Sigh…"

Lin Yi sighed helplessly. "Then, let's begin."

"You don't have to pretend to be helpless. The results won't change."

As she spoke, Wang Yixuan sat down on the chair. "I'm going to start. Are you ready?"

"As long as you're ready. You don't have to worry about me."

She rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, cursing in her heart. "Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"

Her slender fingers landed on the keys, and she began to play.

A few seconds later, someone recognized the tune that she was playing.

"It's Big Fat Ham!"

"This New Orleans jazz style is a bit difficult."

"That Lin Yi wouldn't be able to handle a piece of this level right from the start."

Ding Ding Dong Dong…

At that moment, the sound of another piano could be heard. The crowd was shocked to find that Lin Yi had started playing!

And he started playing before Wang Yixuan had even finished!

Most importantly, the syllables and melody were exactly the same!

"What, what's going on?"

"He's actually following the song? And there's no mistake at all!"

The two stopped one after another, and Wang Yixuan looked at Lin Yi in surprise. She didn't think that he'd be able to keep up with her song!

It seemed like he had some skill after all.

It was just that the song wasn't that difficult, and it was normal for him to be able to keep up.

Everyone's eyes were on Lin Yi now.

It was his turn to start now.

The piano started playing again, and Pengfei and the others' ears pricked up.

"This song sounds familiar!"

"I know, it's Silent Night!"

"What is this? Isn't that too simple? Even an amateur like me can play it!"

"I'm really drunk. With this standard, how can he compete with Yixuan?" Pengfei mocked. "I really don't know what he's thinking."

"He's only at kindergarten level at most, and he's still laughing at Yixuan, the champion. Teacher Guo must have made a mistake this time."

"Shut up!" Yixuan said suddenly, her eyes wide open.

No one understood why Yixuan was so excited. It was just a simple Christmas song. Was there a need to react like this?

However, when Lin Yi finished playing the song, everyone noticed something different!

"Although I don't know much about the piano, I can tell that this song isn't an ordinary Christmas Eve."

"He seems to have changed the song. The rhythm in the middle was changed. The traditional Christmas Eve is three-quarters of a beat, and he added a four-quarter beat melody in the middle. At the end, he added a jazz scale. It sounds like the Christmas song, but it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a brand new song!"

After a period of calm analysis, everyone looked at Lin Yi in shock!

No one expected him to play such a song!

With such skill, he shouldn't be a beginner anymore!

However, with Yixuan's skill, it shouldn't be hard to deal with!

"It's your turn." Lin Yi said lightly.

"Good luck, Yixuan! We have faith in you!" Pengfei said!

"Didn't you change the tune too? You can beat him if you want to!"

Yixuan frowned as she tried to recall the tune Lin Yi had just played. Then, she placed her hands on the keys and started playing.

About two minutes later, Yixuan finished the Christmas piece that Lin Yi had come up with.

However, there wasn't any cheering.

"I don't think I need to say any more. There were four mistakes in the one and a half minute tune. There's no need to continue playing."

"What?" Yixuan was nervous and embarrassed.

She didn't think that she would lose to this errand boy before they started!

"It doesn't count!" Pengfei said.

"Huh? Why doesn't it count?" Lin Yi said.

"You're playing a song that you adapted. Yixuan has never heard it before. Even if there's a mistake, it doesn't count as her losing!"

"Right, you have to play those famous songs, or you'll be cheating!"

Lin Yi was speechless-the ones cheating were obviously the two of them.

"Fine, then play a famous masterpiece. I don't care."

"Yixuan, he was taking advantage of the situation just now. It's only natural that you made a mistake. You have to come up with something harder this time-you can't give him another chance!"

"I know!"

Yixuan's expression was extremely solemn.

This was an opportunity that her classmate had fought so hard for. She had to seize it!

After pondering for a few seconds, Wang Yixuan placed her hand on the piano keys and began to play another song for this round.

"It's The Crave!"

"This song is really difficult. He definitely won't be able to recognize it!"

Just as everyone was dancing in excitement, they suddenly realized that the song had changed!

It had changed from The Crave to Finger Breaker!

"She actually changed the tune in the middle. The styles of the two songs are completely different, right?"

"The Chinese name of this tune is 'Broken Finger'. The tune lives up to its name. After playing it, one will feel as if their fingers have been broken. The difficulty is not something The Crave can compare to!"

"Yixuan is too amazing. She can even play such a tune! I'm impressed!"

"So this is Yixuan's true level. No wonder Teacher Guo said that she is the most talented student under her. It's not an exaggeration at all!"

However!

Just when everyone was excited and thought that Wang Yixuan would definitely win, the song changed again!

"Yes, it's the Enduring Movement!"

"It's the Enduring Movement by Rimsky Korsakov!"

"It's too amazing!"

Seeing Wang Yixuan play three high-difficulty songs in just a few minutes, her classmates were all dumbfounded and amazed!

These three songs were each harder than the last, especially the last two. Even if she played these songs consecutively, it was still very difficult, but she actually played all of them in tandem!

She was indeed worthy of being called the most talented girl of the Drama Academy!

She was simply invincible!

After playing the three songs, Wang Yixuan slowed down for a few seconds. She felt that she was no longer even able to control her fingers.

"It's your turn."

Wang Yixuan's face was filled with confidence!

The difficulty of these three songs was extremely high. If he could even play one of them perfectly, he would have to thank the heavens and earth!

It would be impossible to play all three songs!

Moreover, if he missed just a single note at this junction, he would lose!

Therefore, she would definitely win this competition!

"The quality of these three songs is not bad," Lin Yi said.

"Not bad?" Zhang Pengfei said disdainfully. "If you have the ability, you can play them. What kind of ability are you talking about?"

"What's the rush?"

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry. He put his hand on the keys and started playing.

The Crave's melody was almost perfect!

Wang Yixuan clenched her fists tightly. He was almost at the junction where he was supposed to transition into the second song!

It was also the easiest place to make mistakes!

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang at this time!

Those who were immersed in the melody were all surprised. They didn't expect someone to call at this time!

Pengfei and the others were delighted. If this distracted him, then there would be the possibility of something going wrong!

However!

A shocking scene happened!

Yixuan saw Lin Yi pick up his phone!

Moreover, he didn't hang up!

He played the other two songs with one hand!

"What's the matter?"

Who else would call at this time but Guo Rui. She wanted to ask how Lin Yi was doing.

"I'm practicing."

"Thanks. Go do your thing."

"What's there to thank me for? Just give me a five-star review."

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi hung up.

At this time, he finished playing the last two songs!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

A Meituan errand boy was able to play Finger Breaker and Enduring Movement perfectly with one hand!

Moreover, he was still answering his phone with the other hand!

He wasn't affected by this at all!

This was a song that was difficult to play even with four hands!

Was this guy really an errand boy?

"I'm sorry, your teacher called just now. I was afraid that she had something urgent to talk to me about, so I answered the phone." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"It should be my turn now, right? Don't worry, I'll play it now."

Lin Yi put his phone back into his pocket and started playing!

"This is Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, ranked eighth in the world in terms of difficulty!"

Just as everyone was shocked, the tune changed!

"This piece is ranked sixth in difficulty, Norma's Memories!"

Just then, the tune changed again!

"This is the fourth-ranked piece, Don Juan's Memories!"

"The second-ranked 'Piano Concerto No. 2'!"

"The number one most difficult piece 'Piano Concerto No. 3'!"

Even Lin Yi felt refreshed after playing five songs in a row.

However, with Lin Yi's standard, he could only barely handle the 'Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major' and 'Norma's memories'.

As for the remaining songs, he could only barely complete one song. If he tried to play the whole song, there would definitely be flaws.

He might as well play the lute instead of the whole song. It would be a smarter move on his part.

"I'm done. It's your turn now," Lin Yi said.

At that moment, the backstage was completely silent. Everyone was staring at Lin Yi in a daze.

It was as if their souls had been pulled out of their bodies.

"You… are you sure you're an errand boy?" Wang Yixuan asked nervously.

"I'm just not wearing my uniform. Do you have to be so suspicious of me?"

"But you're just an errand boy. How can you play so many world-class piano pieces?" Wang Yixuan asked.

"Are you the only ones who can do certain things? Can the poor not do it?" Lin Yi said faintly.

"Or do you think that people can do anything with money, and that everything the poor does is wrong?

"No, no, no, we didn't mean that."

Wang Yixuan and the others were blushing, but the waves of shock in their hearts would not dissipate.

A errand boy actually had such high-level piano skills. This scene had already overturned their worldview.

No wonder Teacher Guo called him over. She knew his level!

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things. I hope you won't lower yourself to my level."

Yixuan bowed deeply at Lin Yi, ashamed of her actions.

"We… We apologize to you as well."

Pengfei took the lead to bow to Lin Yi as well. It was quite a spectacular scene.

"I'm not that fussed. I won't get angry over such a small matter," Lin Yi said lightly.

"But music is an expression of emotions. Narrow-minded people can't play good music."

"We understand."

"Then that's it. You don't have to worry about me. I'm just an errand boy. I'm going to perform soon. There's no need to follow me around."

"Yes, yes."

Wang Yixuan and the others picked up their instruments again and began their final practice and adjustments.

This time, after Lin Yi's guidance, they found that the carefree feeling of playing had returned.

At this time, Guo Rui walked in in her high heels.

Lin Yi noticed that although her clothes hadn't changed, there was light layer of makeup on her face, making her look younger.

"The show is about to start. How's the preparation going? Are you nervous?" Guo Rui asked with a smile as she walked to Lin Yi.

"It's just a small venue. What's there to be nervous about?" Lin Yi replied.

"Miss Guo, Brother Lin is too good. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with his rhythm if I play with him," Wang Yixuan said.

"What's wrong? You were just complaining that he was just an errand boy. The show hasn't even started yet. Why are you now convinced?"

"I just fought with Brother Lin on the piano and lost completely. He's too good."

"Now, do you know that there's always someone better than you?" Guo Rui asked with a smile.

Her proud student had talent, but Guo Rui had always been afraid that she would get complacent.

Now that she had met Lin Yi, her pride and edge had probably been smoothened out.

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Lin is indeed amazing. I really can't compete with him."

"And he's self-taught. He hasn't received any professional guidance at all."

Hiss…

"Brother Lin's piano skills were all self-taught? !"

Everyone who heard this felt that it was unbelievable!

To be able to reach such a level by self-learning the piano… If he had the guidance of a professional teacher, wouldn't his level be even higher? !

This was too depressing.

"Of course, if he really had the money to learn the piano, he wouldn't be running errands."

Yixuan and the others nodded. It was the same thing.

However, with his looks and talent, running errands was a waste of his abilities.

"Alright, stop lamenting here. Get ready, the show is about to start," Guo Rui said:

"I went out to take a look just now. There are more than twenty media company leaders here. Whether or not you can be signed early is up to you."

"Got it, Teacher."

Guo Rui walked up to Lin Yi after giving her instructions to Wang Yixuan and the others.

"There are still a lot of things to do at the front desk. I won't be around to accompany you. If you perform well, there might be people from the media company who will take a liking to your talent. Then, you won't have to run errands anymore."

"Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it."

"Alright then. You decide what you want to do. I'm just saying this casually."

Guo Rui was the director of the show, and she still had her own matters to attend to. She left after giving a few words of advice.

Lin Yi had nothing better to do, so he walked out of the backstage to get some fresh air.

On the steps outside the venue, Lin Yi picked up his phone and dialed He Yuanyuan and Zhang Song's numbers respectively, asking about Cisco's progress.

The development of events was within his expectations.

Zhang Song's order seemed to have stalled. The progress was very slow, and it seemed like they were not even confident if the goods could be delivered on time.

On the other side, however, the situation was completely different.

In He Yuanyuan's report, Cisco showed absolute trust in Didi's order after the deposit of 500 million was sent over.

Not only did they have to work overtime to produce the goods, they even had to expand the delivery room.

Lin Yi calculated that at this rate, it wouldn't be long before Cisco used up the 500 million deposit.

It was impossible to complete the remaining 2.5 billion with these costs!

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. The boss would be aware of such a problem.

It was likely that he would seek financing soon. This was the most effective way out.

Lin Yi called He Yuanyuan again, telling her and Qi Xianzhao to keep a close eye on Cisco's finances.

In reality, it wouldn't affect his overall plan, but it would be a pleasant surprise if the person behind Cisco was exposed.

"It's you!"

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to trick Cisco, he heard someone talking.

He turned around and saw a middle-aged woman dressed fashionably. She seemed to be one of the concert staff.

The person talking was none other than Guo Rui's colleague, Xu Shuang.

Technically speaking, the two had met once before when he went to pick up Guo Rui.

Lin Yi didn't take Xu Shuang seriously though, so he did not pay much attention to her. He couldn't recognize her.

"You are?"

"I'm one of Guo Rui's colleagues," Xu Shuang said. "She's the conductor for the show. I'm in charge of the planning."

"Hello." Lin Yi nodded in response.

"Are you waiting here for Miss Guo?"

"No," Lin Yi said. "I'm going to participate in the show later."

"Participate?!"

Xu Shuang was stunned for a while. She didn't know how to react.

When they were at the school gate, Guo Rui had said that she had found an errand boy. This could not be him, right?

That's not possible, right? He drove a supercar.

A new business?

"I heard from Teacher Guo that the person she found was an errand boy, but you…" Xu Shuang asked tentatively.

"I'm an errand boy. Don't I look like one?"

Xu Shuang was confused. What was going on?

Was he really an errand boy?

"With your looks, you don't look like one," Xu Shuang said with a fake smile.

"You are also a practical person."

Xu Shuang's eyes darted around, and she forced out a smile.

"I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. I look forward to your performance later."

"Alright."

The two of them didn't talk much before Xu Shuang returned backstage. Seeing that the students were making their final preparations, she said,

"Are you all ready?"

"Yes, Teacher Xu."

"Everyone's here, right? You can go on stage according to your position."

"Wait, Teacher Xu, Lin Yi isn't back yet." Wang Yixuan said.

"Lin Yi? Who is he?"

"He's someone Teacher Guo found to replace Jingjing. He's performing with us today."

"Is he the errand boy?"

Wang Yixuan chuckled. "Teacher Xu, although he is an errand boy, he is not an ordinary errand boy."

"Yes, yes, yes. His piano skills are very high. Even Yixuan lost to him," Zhang Pengfei said.

"What did you say? Yixuan actually lost to an errand boy?"

Xu Shuang widened her eyes in disbelief.

Yixuan's standard was obvious to everyone. An average person was no match for her, and among her peers, almost no one could beat her!

The man outside was just an errand boy. How could he be better than her?!

"Teacher Xu, I really lost to him," Wang Yixuan said. "He's really different from other errand boys."

"At first, I was also puzzled about why Teacher Guo got an errand boy for such an important occasion. Later, I found out that he really has the ability to perform this. Now, I'm convinced," Zhang Pengfei said.

Xu Shuang frowned. She felt that this was not quite what she had imagined.

The errand boy outside might really have some skill.

She had been waiting for him to make a mistake and drag Guo Rui down with him. Now, the possibility of this seemed unlikely.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuang narrowed her eyes and cursed in her heart.

In this case, I can only use another method

"You guys go on stage first." Xu Shuang said to Wang Yixuan and the others.

"I think I saw that guy outside. I'll go over to look for him now. I'll meet up with you guys later."

"Got it, Teacher Xu."

Everyone responded and walked up to the stage.

At the same time, Xu Shuang walked out from the backstage and found Lin Yi sitting outside.

"Mr. Lin, the show is about to start."

"Alright, I'm going on stage now."

Lin Yi got up and left, but Xu Shuang stopped him from behind.

"Mr. Lin, wait, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"It's like this," Xu Shuang said calmly.

"There was an accident just now, and a cellist in the band suddenly couldn't participate in the show, so you have to be the next cellist."

"I'll be playing the cello?"

Lin Yi didn't expect Guo Rui to make such an adjustment at such a critical moment.

However, how did she know that he knew how to play the cello?

It didn't seem like he had ever exposed his skills in this area.

"If I play the cello, who'll be in charge of the piano?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yixuan will handle it alone. It'll be a little difficult, but it won't be a big problem," Xu Shuang said.

"If we lose a cellist right now, it'll have a fatal impact on the performance. Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't have made such a decision. We can only rely on you now."

Xu Shuang's idea was very simple.

Lin Yi was good at playing the piano, but it didn't mean that he had mastered other instruments.

That was why mistakes were bound to happen during the performance, affecting the quality of the performance.

The school leader would be furious when that happened.

Even if she was the one responsible, she could still push the blame to someone else.

The person Guo Rui hired was an errand boy, and she made the decision to hire him because she was afraid that lacking a member would affect the performance.

Therefore, the biggest responsibility lay on Guo Rui.

She was only thinking about the overall situation.

"I don't care, as long as you give me a five-star rating."

"That's for sure," Xu Shuang said with a smile.

After a while, Xu Shuang found a cello for Lin Yi to use during the concert.

At the same time, the concert hall was filled.

The front row consisted of a choir from overseas. The members were around the same age as Wang Yixuan and the others.

The people in the other seats were all dressed in suits, waiting for the concert to begin.

Guo Rui, Wang Yixuan, and the others were already on the stage, making their final preparations.

On the stage, Guo Rui looked around for a while, but Lin Yi was nowhere to be found. She couldn't help but frown, having a bad premonition.

"Yixuan, have you seen Lin Yi? The concert is about to start. Why is he still missing?"

"I really don't know." Wang Yixuan looked around as well.

"When we were backstage, Teacher Xu came. She said she saw Lin Yi outside and said she'd inform him to go on stage. He should be here by now, so why is he still missing?"

Guo Rui's expression wasn't very pleasant. The two of them had always been at loggerheads. She was really afraid that Xu Shuang would play tricks to mess things up..

It wasn't a big deal for her, but it would be a big deal if she damaged the students' future prospects.

At that moment, Guo Rui heard a voice in her ears.

"Teacher Guo, everything is ready. There's only one minute left before the show starts."

"Okay, I got it."

Guo Rui's face was anxious. She had put her phone somewhere else for the show, and it was impossible to contact Lin Yi now.

"Miss Guo, Brother Lin is here, but he…"

Just as Guo Rui was filled with mixed feelings, she suddenly heard Wang Yixuan's words

She followed her gaze and was surprised to see Lin Yi walking over with a cello!

Everyone present was stunned. They knew Lin Yi's piano skills, ut now they were asking him to play the cello. Wasn't this a joke? It was a complete waste of his gifts!

Lin Yi didn't think too much about it. He found the seat that Xu Shuang had assigned to him and sat down.

The person next to him was Zhang Pengfei.

"Brother Lin, why are you playing the cello?"

"Your Teacher Zu said that there's a cellist who couldn't come, so she asked me to replace him. Wang Yixuan will be in charge of the piano."

"Huh?"

Pengfei looked around and asked suspiciously.

"There's quite a lot of people here, too. It's a bit disharmonious if you sit in this area too."

"There's no one missing?" Lin Yi was a bit surprised.

What was that Xu Shuang doing?

She could even pull off a trick like that?

Didn't she know that this show was very important to all the students present?

Everyone looked at each other and turned their attention to Guo Rui.

They wanted to know what to do about this.

With Lin Yi's skill, he was more than capable of handling a concert of this level.

However, now he had come out with a cello. Wasn't this a joke?

No matter how good a person was, it was impossible for him to be proficient in two instruments!

If he was really allowed to play the cello, then the concert would be ruined!

Guo Rui was so angry that her body was trembling, but at this moment, she could only suppress her anger in her stomach!

She would settle the score with Xu Shuang later!

"Teacher Guo, what should we do now? Isn't it ridiculous if we ask Brother Lin to play the piano? It won't work at all," Wang Yixuan said.

"Don't worry, the concert hasn't started yet. There's still a chance to save it," Guo Rui said. "I'll go explain the situation and change Lin Yi's position."

"Okay."

However, the moment Guo Rui turned around, the concert hall's broadcast rang.

"Next, please enjoy the symphony, 'Scherzo in G-flat major', performed by the Zhonghai Drama Academy Orchestra."

The voice on the radio made Guo Rui, Wang Yixuan, and the others panic.

They hadn't even had time to adjust their positions yet, and it was already starting!

What should they do now?!

Clap Clap Clap!

The moment the announcement was heard, and the sound of applause rang out like rain.

Everyone was focused on the people on the stage, waiting for their next performance.

However, the people on the stage were panicking, even Guo Rui!

Lin Yi didn't know how to play the cello at all, so how was the next performance supposed to go?!

If one made a mistake under such circumstances, the final result would be fatal!

However!

At this moment!

The sound of the cello was like the sound of nature as it echoud throughout the concert hall.

"It's Lin Yi!"

When she heard Lin Yi playing the cello and creating a melody that was melodious and full of classical charm, Guo Rui was stunned!

Wang Yixuan and the others were also amazed!

He… he can play the cello?!

The cello felt like it had been given life in Lin Yi's hands.

The music lingered for three days without end, as if it possessed a soul-shaking magic.

At that moment, everyone present noticed the boy who kickstarted the performance.

Some women even started whispering to each other.

In the back row of the concert hall, a long-haired man was staring at Lin Yi as if he looked familiar.

The long-haired man was Pan Wen, a veteran talent scout in the entertainment industry.

He was the same person Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan had met in the supermarket.

"What are you looking at? Do you know the person on the stage?"

The person who spoke was the woman beside Pan Wen. Her name was Yang Wenyi, the general manager of Boyuan Media.

"He looks a little familiar, but I think I'm mistaken. With his status, there's no way he'd come to a place like this."

"I think that guy's pretty good. Keep an eye out for him, I want to sign him."

"Got it, Boss Yang."

At the same time, Guo Rui, who was on stage, started instructing with her baton.

If she didn't follow up now, the concert would become Lin Yi's solo.

Lin Yi was relieved when he saw Guo Rui pick up the baton.

If you don't follow up now, I'm going to finish playing the whole song.

Under Lin Yi's guidance, the other members of the orchestra started their own performances as well. Their movements were smooth and smooth, and they gradually got better!

Xu Shuang, who was standing backstage, watched everything with her mouth agape.

She couldn't even believe her ears.

Wasn't that Lin Yi just an errand boy? How could he be so proficient with both the piano and cello?

Where did Guo Rui find this pervert?!

Seeing Lin Yi playing the cello, Guo Rui truly believed that this handsome man was a genius among geniuses!

He was too amazing!

The concert ended after an hour.

During the performance, Guo Rui realized that Lin Yi had used his superb skills to drive the rhythm of the entire performance.

If it wasn't for him, no one else would have been able to perform at such a high level.

It was precisely because of his existence that the flaws of the other members of the team were obscured and their strengths were magnified!

The most valuable thing was that Lin Yi always showed his brilliance at the most critical moment during the performance. He always gave the outstanding parts to others and didn't fight for them. This was the key to the entire performance!

It could even be said that without Lin Yi, the performance wouldn't have been done so perfectly.

This man always surprised people at the most critical moment. Calling him a genius wasn't even enough to describe his talent!

Clap Clap Clap!

Thunderous applause rang out in the concert hall.

The people present were so excited that they stood up and applauded.

This performance could be described as perfect!

Guo Rui turned around and led her students to bow to the audience before returning backstage.

"Lin Bro is awesome!"

Zhang Pengfei hugged Lin Yi and wanted to kiss him on the cheek!

"Lin Bro, you're too talented. Not only are you good at playing the piano, but you're also good at playing the cello. If it wasn't for you leading the rhythm, it wouldn't have worked so well." Pengfei said as he looked at Lin Yi.

"I'm impressed. You're a genius."

Lin Yi was embarrassed by everyone's praise.

"I just did what I had to do. It's all because of your hard work."

"Lin Bro, don't be so modest. It's all about being awesome."

Lin Yi smiled, he looked at Guo Rui and said, "To be honest, the performance might have been better if I'd played the piano, but someone called Xu Shuang asked me to play the cello, and she said it was your idea. You can take care of the rest."

Guo Rui nodded. "I'll handle this matter seriously."

"This is your private matter, I won't get involved," Lin Yi said. "Don't forget your five-star review."

"Don't worry, I Won't forget."

"I'll be leaving then."

Lin Yi turned to leave after saying goodbye, only to see a woman in her thirties walking backstage.

This person was none other than Yang Wenyi.

"And you are?"

Guo Rui asked as she looked at the woman walking in.

"Nice to meet you, Teacher Guo. Let me introduce myself first. I'm the general manager of Boyuan Media, Yang Wenyi. The president, Yang Guangbing, is my father."

It was the general manager of Boyuan Media!

The students present were all surprised by Yang Wenyi's identity.

They were all students from the drama academy, so they were naturally awestruck by the famous Boyuan Media.

Boyuan Media was one of the top three entertainment companies in all of Zhonghai, and if they could enter this company in the future, they would have half a foot in the entertainment industry.

"Boyuan Media?"

Lin Yi muttered as he felt that the name sounded familiar,

Soon, Lin Yi remembered that when he was shopping with Ji Qingyan in the supermarket, he had met someone called Pan Lao San.

He seemed to be from Boyuan Media.

"Hello."

Guo Rui and Yang Wenyi reached out their hands at the same time and exchanged a few pleasantries before the latter spoke up.

"Teacher Guo, I'll be brief this time. I think your cellist is pretty good. Can you give me a chance to talk to him?"

Everyone understood why Yang Wenyi was here. Lin Yi's stunning performance must have piqued her interest.

"No chance."

Lin Yi replied casually, "The other musicians performed well too. There's no need to focus on me."

Yang Wenyi was stunned for a moment. She didn't think that Lin Yi would reject her so easily.

Weren't all the drama students eager to enter the entertainment industry? With such a good opportunity in front of them, was he not interested at all?

This was too different!

"Teacher Guo, is your student not interested in the entertainment industry?" Wenyi asked.

"Manager Yang, there are no outsiders here, so I won't hide it from you." Guo Rui smiled awkwardly.

"Lin Yi isn't a student of our school. My student was sick and missed today's performance, so I asked him to replace her."

Wenyi nodded. "So that's what happened. Then what's his real identity?"

"An errand boy."

"Huh?"

Wenyi's expression was one of surprise and amusement.

"What did you say, Miss Guo? He's an errand boy?"

Guo Rui nodded with a smile. She'd already expected Wenyi to have that reacton.

"He is indeed an errand boy."

Wenyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"He's such a talented person. It's such a waste of his talent to ask him to run errands."

"I was thinking the same thing," Guo Rui said. "I even wanted to invite him to teach at the school, but he rejected me."

"What's his reason for rejecting you?"

"He said he likes freedom."

Wenyi laughed out loud. This man really had a personality.

"You two go ahead, I'm leaving now."

Lin Yi took off his costume and prepared to leave.

Wenyi didn't stay too long after Lin Yi left as they walked out together.

"Mr. Lin, please wait."

Lin Yi stopped when he heard Wenyi's voice.

"What else is there? Didn't I tell you? I'm not interested in the entertainment industry."

"I don't want to force you to enter the entertainment industry. I have something else I want to talk to you about," Yang Wenyi said with a smile.

"What is it?"

Yang Wenyi brushed her hair as she said, "200,000 a month. Follow me from now on."

"You want to have me?" Lin Yi asked.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean," Wenyi said straightforwardly.

"Actually, aside from your talent, I invited you to Boyuan Media because of your looks. Do you want to think about it?" Wenyi said.

Lin Yi smiled. "It's my first time meeting someone as straightforward as you, and you're already making me feel bad."

"What's the big deal? The entertainment industry is like this," Wenyi said,

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I've touched all of the young trainees in our company. They'd wait for me at the hotel as long as I called, but you're the first one to make me take the initiative."Wenyi said

"Don't you think that 200,000 a month is a bit too low for someone as good-looking as me?" Lin Yi asked.

"I just know that no one really likes freedom, it's just that they don't have enough money," Wenyi said confidently.

"How about this? I'll give you 400,000 a month, and I can arrange for you to work at Boyuan Media. If you want to hook up with other actresses while I'm not around, I won't care."

"Your 400,000 a month salary isn't even enough for my car's maintenance," Lin Yi said with a smile. "Get as far away from here as you can. Don't come out and embarrass yourself."

"What?!" Wenyi was furious. "How dare you talk to me like that!"

"I'm already being very polite."

"You!"

"Boss Yang!"

Just as Wenyi was about to lose his temper, he heard someone calling him from behind.

It was Pan Wen.

"You're just in time. Get someone to take care of this ungrateful thing. I don't want to see him again."

"Lin Yi!" Pan Laosan exclaimed with a sad face. "If I really had that ability, I wouldn't be hanging around you anymore!"!

"Lin Yi?" Lin Yi seemed familiar to Pan Laosan at first, but he wasn't sure.

What rich second generation with a fortune of 1.5 billion would perform at a concert like this?

However, after the concert ended, Pan Wen waited for Wenyi to come out and happened to see Lin Yi up close.

It was only then that he confirmed that the man was really the super-rich second generation he'd met in the supermarket!

"What a coincidence, meeting you here." Lin Yi said with a smile as he looked at Pan Laosan.

Yang Wenyi was a little surprised. "You two know each other?"

Pan Laosan looked awkward. "Not really, but I think we should just forget about it."

"Forget about it?"

Yang Wenyi's face was cold. "Pan Laosan, you're a senior in the company. Do you think my reputation is that worthless?"

"CEO Yang, this isn't about reputation. It's about this man. We can't afford to offend him."

"Can't afford to offend him?" Yang Wenyi snorted. "He's just an errand boy. Do you think I can't afford to offend him?"

"Errand boy?"

Pan Laosan was also stunned, "I'm not too sure about his real identity, but we've met him once before. Not to mention the other assets, just the cash on his card alone is as much as 1.5 billion dollars. It's not something our Boyuan Media can compare to."

"What, what did you say? His card holds 1.5 billion dollars?"

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes."

Yang Wenyi was stunned. Her expression was not as firm as before, and she was even a little embarrassed.

She believed that Pan Laosan would not lie about this matter.

In that case, there was only one possibility.

This man really had so much money on him!

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. I was rude just now." Yang Wenyi repeatedly bowed and apologized. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

She only had about 20 million in cash at the most, and this man had 1.5 billion in cash on him.

The difference between the two was obvious. They weren't on the same level at all.

"If you're thirsty, buy some cucumbers." Lin Yi smiled. "You can use them at night and eat them during the day. You'll be able to kill two birds with one stone. How wonderful."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand."

If it was someone else saying that, Wenyi would have lost her temper a long time ago.

However, the person standing in front of her was a super-rich second generation. She couldn't afford to offend someone like that.

In the entertainment industry where your status was everything, Wenyi knew very well that she had to behave herself when she wasn't as strong as the other party. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died.

He pressed the car key in his hand, and Koenigsegg's door opened. Lin Yi left under the watchful eyes of Wenyi and Laosan.

The scene made Wenyi even more scared. It was a good thing that Lao San came in time, or else something would've really happened.

The car had just left when she received a notification from the system. Guo Rui's five-star review had been received.

Soon, Guo Rui called.

"Have you received the five-star rating?"

"Yes, it was quite timely."

"You've helped me so much. It would be wrong if I didn't give you a good rating immediately," Guo Rui said.

"By the way, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to a meal."

"As a married woman, treating a single youth like me to a meal is suspicious. Even if you're not afraid, I'm afraid of being beaten to death by your husband."

"What are you talking about?" Guo Rui laughed. "My husband is away on business."

As expected, husbands of married women liked to go on business trips.

"Although your husband is away on business, you still have a son."

"My son went to his grandmother's house."

Lin Yi, "…"

Not only did married women's husbands like to go on business trips, but their children also liked to go to their grandmother's house.

"I might not be able to today, I have other things to do," Lin Yi said. "Let's talk about it another day."

"Alright then, I'll remember this favor. You must give me a chance to treat you to a meal."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi was in a hurry.

This young lady, Guo Rui, was quite charming.

Looking at the progress of the mission, it was already (16/20) , and the ultimate reward was now beckoning at him.

He continued with his work.

Ring, Ring, Ring..

Lin Yi's phone rang. It was He Yuanyuan.

"What's up?"

"We heard some news about Cisco, so we want to report it to you," He Yuanyuan said.

"There's a Sichuan restaurant near the company. It's noon, so let's eat and talk," Lin Yi said. "I'll be at the company in ten minutes."

"Haha…"

Lin Yi froze. It was just a meal, so why was she laughing so loudly?

"Qi Bro, look at what I said. I told you I'd definitely get a meal as long as I talk to Boss Lin," He Yuanyuan said to Qi Xianzhao over the phone.

Lin Yi, "…"

He'd been tricked.

After hanging up, Lin Yi drove to the Sichuan restaurant near the Lingyun office to meet up with he Yuanyuan and Qi Xianzhao.

The three of them booked a private room and ordered a few classic Sichuan dishes. After this, Lin Yi asked,

"What's going on with Cisco?"

"I heard from a few friends in the industry that Cisco has started raising money," He Yuanyuan said. "And it's going exceptionally smoothly."

"That's normal," Lin Yi said.

"With the help of chip 1.0, they're already at the top of the industry. If they want to raise money, it's just a matter of asking. The investors will come flooding to them with the money."

"Other than that, Cisco is also actively contacting other research units, as if they're looking for contract labor," Qi Xianzhao said.

"These people are pretty fast," Lin Yi said. "They're actually playing a two-pronged strategy."

Qi Xianzhao nodded. "This is the fastest and most effective method right now."

"Since Cisco is starting to raise money, let's play along," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"How?" He Yuanyuan asked.

"I can't go out myself, so I'll have to ask your senior sister to help get a share of such a big cut of meat."

Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a video message to Ji Qingyan.

A few seconds later, the video call connected.

Ji Qingyan's makeup was exquisite, and her long hair was tied behind her head, making her look smart and capable.

"Have you eaten?" Lin Yi asked.

"Not yet. I don't have much of an appetite today. I'll eat later," Ji Qingyan said.

"Why are you texting me now? Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you what we're eating."

Lin Yi pointed the video at the dishes on the table. "This is boiled fish, this is shadow beef, this is camphor tea duck, and this is…"

"Lin Yi!"

Qingyan suddenly raised her voice. "You're going to die. How dare you tease me."

"How is that teasing you? I just wanted to let you know that I'm eating, so you don't have to worry."

"You're too much. I'm so busy that I don't have time to worry about you."

Lin Yi chuckled. "I have a deal that's going to make me rich. Are you interested?"

"What deal?" Ji Qingyan asked curiously.

"A deal that's guaranteed to make a profit."

"Sure, is it an investment or an expansion project?"

"Investment."

When it came to business, Qingyan turned serious. "How? Which company are you going to invest in?"

"Cisco Corporation Limited," Lin Yi said. "How much liquidity does Chaoyang Group have now?"

"About 200 million, but 148 million of that is for the projects we are currently undertaking. We can only take out about 52 million."

"Alright, I'll get Yuanyuan to send you 48 million when I'm free. We'll get 100 million and then go for Cisco." Lin Yi said

"I'll listen to you. We'll do this once the money is in place."

"Let Yuanyuan and Xianzhao handle this for you. They're professional actors. It'll be easy for you to get caught if you try to do this yourself."

"What are you three researching? Why are you being so mysterious?" Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"Don't ask about anything else. Just wait at home to collect the money."

"Alright, I'll listen to your instructions."

Lin Yi hung up the phone after they finished talking about investing.

"Boss, if you want to scam Cisco, why don't you invest more?" He Yuanyuan asked. "Why don't you just scam them to death?"

"No," Lin Yi said,

"Chaoyang Group isn't a professional investment group. I want to create an illusion for Cisco and make them think that Chaoyang group is a speculator. At the same time, it can act as a weather vane."

"Weather vane?"

"Nowadays, the people who want to invest in Cisco are mostly investment groups. The participation of Chaoyang Group can prove that other industries are also interested in their products."

Lin Yi looked at the two of them. "I don't need to tell you anything else."

Qi Xianzhao thought for a moment and said, "What you mean is that you want to use Chaoyang Group's investment to tell Cisco that their products are also well-known in other industries. Is that what you mean?"

"That's right."

He Yuanyuan continued, "You want to use this method to inflate their ego. Then, the higher they fly, the harder their fall?"

"Smart!" Lin Yi said,

"Actually, Cisco's people are still being cautious. If we go too far, it'll be easy for them to notice. One hundred million is the warning line. If it's too much, it'll send out a bad signal. It won't make up for the loss."

He Yuanyuan shivered. The boss was too evil.

It seemed that the Buddha request had to be put on the agenda.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Yi stopped checking his orders and went home to sleep. He didn't wake up until the next morning.

"You have a new order, please check it carefully."

Just as he drove out, he received a new order.

When he opened it, the contents made Lin Yi a little amused.

"My name is Liu Mei, 30 years old, 170 centimeters tall, fair skin, beautiful, and charming. I married a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, but I am currently unableto have children. Seeing that I am struggling to bear an heir, I'm now using the opportunity to find a caring and healthy man to help me avoid future conflict. I can offer you 300,000 dollars. If you succeed in giving birth, you will be rewarded with another 2 million in cash. If you are interested, please contact me by phone."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin as he read the content of the order:

"Are all small advertisements keeping up with the times? However, I can still accept this business."

Lin Yi called back the number on the phone.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Liu Mei? Are you looking for a son with a lot of money?"

"Yes, are you willing to help me?" The voice on the other end was pleasant to hear.

"I've already taken the job, so I'm willing to help." Lin Yi said. "But you won't go back on your word, right? Don't wait for me to go, or you won't pay."

"Don't worry, I won't." Liu Mei said.

"My husband is a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. He's worth tens of billions. A few hundred thousand is nothing to me. As long as you can help me get pregnant, I'll pay immediately."

"No problem. It's settled then. You can prepare at home. I'll be there in a while."

"I've written the address on the order." Liu Mei said.

"This is the house I just bought. If you can satisfy me, not only will I give you the money, but I'll also give you this house."

"Then thank you so much."

After hanging up and confirming that the order was correct, Lin Yi was ready to work.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he realized that his small physique would not be enough to satisfy her. He needed help.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi dialed Qin Han's number.

"Old Lin, what's the matter?"

"I have something I need your help with," Lin Yi said. "Can you find someone for me? Someone with a strong body and who who looks oppressive."

"Hmm? Why are you looking for someone like that? Are you in the business of pimping out to rich women?" Qin Han asked.

"That's right, I'm a pimp. Just help me contact a few people." Lin Yi said.

"Alright, I'll help you contact them now," Qin Han agreed readily. "After I contact the people, where do I tell them to look for you? Jiuzhou Pavilion?"

"No need. Tell them to go to Fuhua Garden and to wait for me at the entrance of the community."

"Alright, leave it to me." Qin Han said.

Lin Yi hung up the phone after finishing his business. He went to the bank to withdraw some money and then went to Fuhua Garden.

He waited for another ten minutes at Fuhua Garden. Qin Han's men had arrived as well. There were more than ten of them.

The leader was a burly man. The muscles on his body had exploded, and Lin Yi was stunned by what he saw.

Qin Han could be quite reliable sometimes. From the looks of it, these people were all into working out and bodybuilding.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. My name is Liu Yinxi. Young Master Qin sent me to look for you."

"I called you here today because I need your help. Just follow my instructions on how to do it," Lin Yi said.

"Got it, Mr. Lin. We'll definitely follow your instructions."

"Let's go." Lin Yi waved his hand and brought Liu Yinxi and the others upstairs, muttering to himself.

"With so many people here, I wonder if that Liu Mei woman will be able to take it."

Fuhua Garden, Unit 2, Building 3, Room 602.

There were three men and a woman sitting in the room.

The four of them were dressed casually. The man was shirtless, wearing shorts and slippers, and they were all covered in mud.

The only woman was no different. She was wearing a red tank top and a pair of black leggings. It seemed that she had been wearing them for a long time as they had started to stretch out.

The woman's name was Liu Mei, but her appearance was far from what was described in the order.

Although she was only in her early 30s, she looked like she was in her 40s.

"Plum, it's been so long. Why hasn't that person arrived yet?"

The man who spoke had a stubble on his beard. He was holding a beer in his hand and had one foot on the stool. He had a fierce look on his face.

His name was Zhang Yongqiang, and he was Liu Mei's husband.

When he was young, Zhang Yongqiang was a hooligan, and that's how he got to know Liu Mei, who worked in the bathing center.

However, because the two of them were lazy types, they didn't have any proper jobs over the years, so they started to scam people.

"It's not a big problem. You heard what he said on the phone. His attitude is quite sincere." Liu Mei opened a bottle of beer and said as she drank.

"You have to know that this is Zhonghai. How big Is this city? It's not a small county in the countryside. How can you just say that?"

"The main thing is that we are currently pennyless. If no new business comes in, we will have to go hungry for our next meal."

"I don't think it's a big problem. First of all, these errand boys are all uneducated. I'm guessing they are not as good as me. They are all very easy to fool. All of you should get ready. He will be here soon."

Zhang Yongqiang kicked the stool and said to his two subordinates,

"Don't just sit there, you two. Go and get ready first. When he arrives, we have to take him down."

"Don't worry, Brother Qiang. Once he arrives, I guarantee that he won't be able to escape."

"If we just show our knives, we'll probably scare him until he pisses himself. How much we extort then will depend on our mood," another subordinate said.

"Haha, that's right. After waiting for so many days, a fish has finally taken the bait. We can't let it go so easily."

Dang dang dang.

Just as they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Zhang Yongqiang and Liu Mei looked at each other with serious expressions.

Zhang Yongqiang looked at his two subordinates. "Get the guys ready. He's here."

"Got it, Brother Qiang!"

Zhang Yongqiang looked at Liu Mei after assigning the task.

"Plum, go open the door."

Liu Mei nodded and walked to the door. She asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"Didn't you want to pay a lot of money to have children? I'm here to help you fulfill your dream."

After confirming Lin Yi's identity, Liu Mei opened the door quietly with a joyful expression.

The moment Lin Yi entered, Liu Mei quickly closed the door. If she let him escape, she would suffer a huge loss.

Lin Yi smiled when he saw the other three men in the room:

"These three are here to help? But you don't look like a rich woman to me."

"Cut the crap."

Liu Mei cursed and took off her shirt without saying anything, revealing the black bra underneath.

Lin Yi was amazed by the scene.

"You're a bit too familiar at getting undressed. I can tell that you've practiced in the bathing center."

Liu Mei didn't pay any attention to this and pounced on Lin Yi.

At that moment, Zhang Yongqiang took out his phone and took a few photos.

After taking the photos, Liu Mei left Lin Yi's side and put on her clothes.

"What's going on? Weren't you offering a lot of money to get a child?" Lin Yi said with a smile. "Didn't you ever take health class in elementary school? You didn't even take off your pants, so how come you still give me the money?"

"Kid, you're already here, so I'll tell you the truth." Zhang Yongqiang said with a smile:

"You've been cheated. Hand over the money now, or you won't be able to walk out of here alive." Lin Yi said with a smile

"F * ck, you people are too untrustworthy. You promised to pay a lot of money to have children, and now you want to rob me? That's too unethical."

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's your own fault for having such a low IQ." Zhang Yongqiang laughed out loud,

"Previously, Plum said that all of you errand boys don't have a high level of education. You'll fall for it the moment you see some benefits. I didn't really believe it before, but thank you for letting me know what it means to have such a low IQ."

After saying that, Zhang Yongqiang took out the knife from his waistband and continued

"Do you see my knife? I don't want to waste any more time. Hurry up and hand over the money!"

"You people are too unscrupulous." Lin Yi sighed,

"I wanted to help you get a place in your in-laws' family by impregnating you. After seeing the news that you were looking for a child, I had mixed feelings and even contacted my friends to help. I didn't expect you guys to be such a bunch of mischievous people. Good intentions don't get rewarded well."

"Don't be so f*cking useless. If you want to blame someone, blame it on your own low IQ. Even if God himself came today, he wouldn't be able to help you. Hurry up and pay."

"If you guys are like this, then we won't be able to negotiate this deal. Don't blame me for falling out with you."

"Falling out with you? F*ck!"Zhang Yongqiang cursed,

"There are three of us here, and we all have knives in our hands. Can you fight against three of us on your own?"

"I can't do it alone, but I have friends," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Who do you think your friends are? You're locked inside, so who can help you?"

"Not necessarily," Lin Yi shouted outside.

"Come in, guys."

Dong Dong Dong!

Lin Yi gave the order and heard the sound of a door being kicked. The sound got louder and louder, and it was as if the walls were shaking.

Zhang Yongqiang and Liu Mei were dumbfounded.

How many people were there?

How could it have such a huge effect?

Dong Dong Dong!

Boom Boom Boom!

In less than half a minute, the old iron door was kicked open by Liu Yinxi and the others!

The moment the door was kicked open, more than ten people rushed in and shielded Lin Yi behind them.

They were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yongqiang and the others were dumbfounded. Who were these people?

They were all too strong.

"You, you f*cking set me up!"

"Set you up?"

Lin Yi said innocently, "She was the one who said he was going to spend a lot of money to get pregnant. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to complete this difficult task, so I called for some strong people to help me. I could guarantee that I'd fulfill the request, but you're the one who complained first. Isn't that a little unethical?"

"F*ck! You found so many people in one go. Forget my wife, even a sow would be plowed to death. You obviously did it on purpose!"

Lin Yi shrugged. "The main thing is that the conditions you offered were too tempting. I couldn't give up the chance to make a fortune so easily."

Zhang Yongqiang wanted to die.

The ways of the city were too deep. A simple child like him wouldn't be able to survive here.

"Qiang… What should we do now Brother Qiang? There are more than ten people on the other side," Zhang Yongqiang's underling asked.

"I feel that they don't even need to come at us together. If just one them comes out, he'll able to deal with all 3 of us."

Bang…

The knife in Zhang Yongqiang's hand fell to the ground. He was so scared that his body went limp.

"Brother, this is a misunderstanding. We have no other way out and that's why we did such a thing. Please give us another chance. We won't dare to do it again in the future."

"Don't be like this. I called so many people here to make sure you are satisfied. You have to understand my good intentions."

Lin Yi pointed at Liu Mei and said,

"Liu Yinxi, this woman's surname is Liu too. She's from your family. Let's start with you. If you can't get a five-star rating from the client, I'll start questioning you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I promise I'll complete the mission."

Liu Yin walked over with a smile on his face, ready to work.

"Plum, run! I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. There's a lot of people here, but I can take it."

Lin Yi, "…"

You actually know how to face difficulties head-on?

You really are a good employee!

Zhang Yongqiang was stunned. What was with that expectant look on your face?!

"Your name is Liu Mei, right?" Lin Yi asked.

"That's… that's me."

"I went through a lot of trouble to find so many people for you. Are you satisfied?"

"Yes, I am."

"Then can you pay the bill and give me a five-star rating first? After that, I'll leave. I won't keep you guys from having fun here."

"Okay, okay…"

Liu Mei took out her phone and gave Lin Yi a five-star review.

"Don't just give me a five-star review. Can you add a picture and a description? It'll be more believable."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll do it right now."

Liu Mei took out her phone and gave Lin Yi another review.

"I, I'm done."

"Okay, you guys enjoy yourselves here. Remember to call me when the child is celebrating their full moon. I'll give you a big red packet."

Zhang Yongqiang didn't dare to say anything. He had already admitted that he was going to rob Lin Yi in the open, so why the f*ck would he care about a five-star review?!

"Don't move!"

Just as the battle was about to break out, a cold shout came from outside the door.

Lin Yi turned around and saw more than a dozen police officers rushing in from outside.

Liu Yinxi and the others had broken into the house, so the neighbor next door must have thought they were being robbed and called 911.

Otherwise, the police wouldn't know what was going on here.

"Hello, Officer!"

Lin Yi said with a smile when he saw the police.

"Don't be cheeky. Stand aside and tell me what happened."

"Officer, here's the thing," Lin Yi said.

"I'm an errand boy from Meituan. This woman placed an order and said that she wanted to pay a lot of money to have children. I called for help, but in turns out they wanted to rob us. We had no choice but to fight back. Just when we couldn't hold on any longer, you guys showed up. You're like living Bodhisattvas who are saving our lives!"

Zhang Yongqiang's face turned green.

What nonsense is it that you guys couldn't hold on any longer.

It's me who can't hold on any longer!

Liu Mei's expression changed uncertainly as she cursed in her heart,

'Couldn't you come a little later?!'

Originally, the police had treated this matter as a burglary.

However, after hearing the words "A large sum of money", they immediately understood what was going on.

There were too many scams like this in modern society, and he didn't even need to think to know what was going on.

The kid in front of him, on the other hand, had quite the sense of justice. He actually brought people to fight them to the death. His character was indeed respectable.

"Alright, take these people away."

The head policeman looked at Lin Yi. "You come back with us to make a statement, but don't worry, this has nothing to do with you. It's just a formality. It's not a big deal."

"Officer, can you give me a break? I'm just an errand boy and my family doesn't have much money. If I go with you, it'll take a long time."

"Dong Bro, I think we should let this go." A short-haired female officer said.

"He didn't do anything wrong, and he even helped us get rid of a syndicate. He should be praised, so let's not force him to make a statement."

"Sister Meng is right. It will take at least two hours to take a statement. The law is nothing more than a favor. We have to put people first in law enforcement, so we can't take this too seriously."

"Cough, cough, cough…" Looking at the two female colleagues, Li Dong coughed a few times.

"When you speak, be mindful of your identity and position."

"We are telling the truth," the short-haired policewoman said.

"This errand boy knew that they were scammers, but he still disregarded his own safety and resolutely came to punish the evil and promote the good. Therefore, I feel that not only should he not need to make a statement, but he should also be given praise."

"That's right!" Another policewoman said,

"And when it comes to these four people, we have to deal with them seriously when we go back. If we were a step too late, they would have disfigured this errand boy."

"Sigh, even if he was disfigured, I'm willing to do it…"

F*ck, you're willing to do it? I'm the real victim here!

"Alright, alright. Let's forget about the statement. It's just a routine procedure anyway."

Li Dong waved his hand and called his other colleagues over.

"Take these four away and lock them up in the police station for interrogation."

"Got it, Brother Dong."

A few minutes later, Zhang Yongqiang and the others were handcuffed and escorted out by the police.

The group walked to the door, and Li Dong stopped in his tracks and said to Lin Yi,

"Sir, thank you for your contribution to the anti-crime campaign in Zhonghai City. When we get back, we'll apply for a banner for you as a form of encouragement."

"That's not necessary. It's my duty to help the weak and punish the evil."

"Brother Dong, look at his character. He has a sense of justice and is humble and low-key. We should have the young people learn from him," the short-haired policewoman said,

"I think we can apply for an exclusive interview and spread his good deeds throughout Zhonghai city."

"No, no, no. I'm used to keeping a low profile. Let's forget about the exclusive interview." Lin Yi said.

He still had a lot of work to do, and Lin Yi didn't want to do that kind of work.

"Alright then. If that's the case, let's forget about the exclusive interview," Li Dong said with a smile, then left with his colleagues and Zhang Yongqiang.

The crowd dispersed, and Lin Yi took out a black packet from the car before handing it to Liu Yinxi.

"Thank you for your help today. Here's 200,000 dollars. Take it back and share it amongst yourselves."

"No, no, no. We can't do that. You're Young Master Qin's good friend. It's only right for us to help. How could we take your money?"

With that, Liu Yinxi and the others hurriedlygot into the car , not giving Lin Yi the chance to pass them the money.

Lin Yi put the money back into the car. He could only treat Qin Han to a meal afterward to return the favor.

Seeing that the mission had reached (17/20), Lin Yi felt gratified. If he was lucky, he would be able to complete the final mission today.

It was close to noon. Lin Yi found a place to finish lunch then started working again.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that he received another five orders.

The first two orders were all five-star reviews, which made Lin Yi very excited.

However, the last three were all mediocre-reviews. He was only one five-star review away from completing the final mission, and Lin Yi had the urge to curse..

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Just as Lin Yi was about to take on the last five-star review, his phone rang. It was Wang Ying.

"Yi, where are you? Can you come pick me up?" Wang Ying cried.

"What happened? !"

Lin Yi's voice was urgent as he raised his voice.

The two had worked together for more than half a year, and he knew Wang Ying well.

She wouldn't do something like that if it were something she could handle.

"I'm by the fountain at the Music Square. Come pick me up."

"Sure, wait for me there."

Lin Yi didn't waste any time after hanging up the phone and drove straight to the Music Square.

He got out of the car and saw Wang Ying sitting on the steps with a black suitcase next to her. She was curled up like a lonely wanderer.

"Sister Ying!"

Lin Yi ran over in a hurry when he saw Wang Ying.

Wang Ying raised her head and hugged Lin Yi with tears streaming down her face.

"Little Yi… sob…"

"Alright, stop crying. Tell me what's going on." Lin Yi caressed Wang Ying's back, trying to make her feel better.

Crying wasn't going to solve the problem. He had to figure out what was going on.

"I'm homeless."

"Homeless?!"

Lin Yi didn't understand. Why was she homeless?

He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him.

"Let's go. This isn't the place to talk. Come to my place first and we'll talk about what happened." Lin Yi said, "Don't worry. If anyone bullies you, I'll stand up for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. I'll leave after I find a place to stay. I won't bother you much."

"Don't think about such useless things."

Lin Yi brought Wang Ying back to Jiuzhou Pavilion as he spoke.

Wang Ying's heart was calm when she saw the magnificent Jiuzhou Pavilion. Unfortunately, her heart was also filled with sadness.

Lin Yi made a cup of tea when they reached home and handed it to Wang Ying.

"You should be calm now. Tell me what happened."

Wang Ying held the teacup with both hands, her tone calm.

"We've divorced."

"Isn't that good?"

Lin Yi wasn't surprised at all. Their marriage had come to an end a long time ago.

Moreover, on the night of the car lesson, she saw her husband with another woman. With Wang Ying's personality, Lin Yi would be surprised if she didn't get divorced after that.

"He took the house and the car."

"He cheated on you, and then you left with nothing?" Lin Yi frowned. "What kind of deal is that?"

"He said the house was under his name, so he took it away."

"What about the car?" Lin Yi said. "When I bought the car, it was put underyour name."

"Because it was my name, he said it was property obtained after marriage, so he took the car away too."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud.

He'd seen shameless people before, but he'd never seen someone as shameless as this.

"And just you left with your suitcase?" Lin Yi looked at Wang Ying. "You're not usually such a coward."

"He had a younger brother, Song Wenlong. He has connections out there, and he didn't give me a chance to speak before he took the car and the house." Wang Ying said with red eyes.

"If I had fought back then, they might have attacked me."

"No wonder he's so arrogant. He has someone backing him up." Lin Yi said with a cold smile.

"Although we divorced, my plan was to split the house evenly, but I didn't expect him to do something like this."

"You stay here for now. I'll handle this."

"Yi, don't be rash, there's no need to fight them over me," Wang Ying said.

"I still have a few thousand dollars, and I'm about to get my salary. I can rent a house."

"Not only did he steal the house, he also stole the car I bought for you. Do you think I can tolerate this?"

"But Song Wenlong isn't easy to deal with. He has a lot of people under him and a big sister protecting him," Wang Ying said. "You're a decent person, don't deal with those people."

"I'll take care of this, don't worry about it," Lin Yi said in a low voice. "Do you know where they are now?"

"They were at home just a moment ago. They might have left by now."

"They probably drove your car."

Wang Ying nodded in response.

"Okay, I got it."

Lin Yi took his phone and dialed Qin Han's number.

"Old Qin, do me a favor."

"Huh? Old Lin, Something's wrong with your voice. What's up?" Qin Han said seriously.

"Nothing much. Help me check for a car," Lin Yi said. "It's a white BMW 7 series. The license plate number is Zhonghai A38140. The sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll check it now. Wait for my update."

"Thanks. I owe you one."

"F*ck, what do you want from me? I still owe you one. Just wait for my update."

After hanging up, Lin Yi tossed his phone aside. "Just wait, we'll get word soon."

Lin Yi was quite at ease with Qin Han handling things. With the Qin family's connections, such a small matter wouldn't be a problem.

This made Lin Yi sigh. A person like him who got rich overnight was still a little lacking compared to those big families that had stood tall for many years.

The most significant difference was in his connections.

He still had to work hard.

He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past six.

"Alright, these things are all in the past." Lin Yi comforted. "It's not a big deal. You should at least be happy that you got a divorce."

"I am quite happy indeed." Wang Ying said.

"But I just feel wronged. My hometown isn't Zhong Hai. If you didn't take me in, I would really be homeless."

"Think about it in another way. This is also a kind of luck. At least you could still ask me for help."

"That's right." Wang Ying chuckled. "In the past half a year, I haven't doted on you for nothing. Now that I'm in trouble, you have come out to help me."

"Didn't you help me back then? It's only right of me to return the favor."

Wang Ying smiled and took a deep breath. Her mood was much better.

"Are you hungry now? I'll go cook for you."

"Don't cook. I'll order takeout." Lin Yi said. "Pick a room upstairs. You can stay here for now. Don't think of anything else."

"I'm going to take a shower. I'll come out with mud all over my face and I won't even look like a woman anymore."

"Okay, go."

Wang Ying took her things upstairs while Lin Yi sat downstairs and ordered some takeout food to fill his stomach.

"Yi, you… why do you have women's things here?" Wang Ying asked upstairs. "Could it be that you have a mistress staying in your palace?"

"What mistress? It's Ji Qingyan's things. She comes here sometimes."

"No way, President Ji stayed here before?"

"Yeah, she stayed here when I first bought the Jiuzhou Pavilion," Lin Yi said matter-of-factly.

"It's been so long, and you still haven't taken down President Ji?"

Chapter 222: "What a Disgrace!"

"You can't just take her down like that," Lin Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"With your looks, you're like a walking wet dream. President Ji sure is something to be able to hold it in." Wang Ying said.

"Ji Qingyan's not too bad, either."

"You're right. Even a woman like me would be jealous of President Ji's looks," Wang Ying said.

"What a pity. President Ji's main target hasn't been taken yet. Looks like I'll have to wait in the back row for now."

"What is all this talk about respect? I think you just want my body."

"Yeah." Wang Ying said. "Anyway, I'm hungry. You can feed me downstairs."

"That's something to consider."

"Die."

The sound of running water could be heard from the washroom upstairs. Lin Yi sat down and waited for Qin Han's news.

About half an hour later, Wang Ying came down in her pajamas. At this time, Lin Yi's takeout was delivered.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang in the middle of the meal. It was Qin Han calling.

"Old Lin, I've finished doing the task for you." Qin Han said.

"The car's owner is called Wang Ying. It's a new car."

Although Qin Han had met Wang Ying once before, he didn't know that the car was hers.

"That's not what I'm looking for." Lin Yi said. "Where's the exact location of this car?"

"It's at the entrance of the Hurricane Bar on the western circuit. My people are watching it. It won't get away."

"Thanks. I'll go over now." Lin Yi said in a low voice.

"Old Lin, tell me the truth. What happened? I'll definitely help you get revenge!"

"No need. It's just a small matter. I can handle it myself," Lin Yi said. "I'll treat you to dinner later."

Lin Yi hung up the phone without giving Qin Han a chance to speak.

"Did you find them?"

Lin Yi nodded. "You stay here. I'll be back later."

"I want to go with you," Wang Ying said.

"With me?"

"This is between us. I think it's better to end it between us."

Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds. "Alright, follow me if you want to."

"Wait for me for a while. I'll get changed. then I'll be right down."

It didn't take long for Wang Ying to get changed and leave with Lin Yi as they headed towards the Hurricane Bar.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the Hurricane Bar, they found Wang Ying's BMW 7 series parked at the entrance.

"Let's go in and take a look," Lin Yi said lightly.

"Okay."

"Mr. Lin!"

Just as the two were about to go in, someone walked over. It was someone he knew.

It was Liu Yinxi, who had come to help Lin Yi during the day.

"Why are you here?" Lin Yi asked.

"Young Master Qin told me to stay here and not let you in."

"Not let me in?"

Liu Yinxi nodded. "He said that the owner of this bar has some background. He told you to wait for him here, afraid that you might be in danger."

"It's fine. You can just stay here. I'll go in and take a look."

"Mr. Lin, this is Young Master Qin's arrangement. There's nothing I can do, and Young Master Qin will be here soon. Just…"

"It's okay, get out of the way!"

Lin Yi pushed Liu Yinxi away and walked in with Wang Ying.

Seeing that things weren't looking good, Liu Yinxi followed him in. If something really happened, he could at least still look out for the latter.

At the same time, Wang Ying's ex-husband, Song Wenhai, was drinking and chatting with a group of people in the private room of the bar.

"Bro, let me give you a toast today. If you didn't bring someone over to help, I really wouldn't have been able to get this house and car back," Song Wenhai said.

"You are my Big Brother. Isn't it natural for me to help you?" Said Song Wenlong.

"But my sister-in-law really surprised me. She secretly saved so much money. I haven't driven a BMW 7 series yet."

"When I saw that car, I was also very surprised," said Song Wenhai.

"I didn't expect that she had saved so much money during all these years. I had no idea."

"It doesn't matter. In the end, it all fell into your hands," Song Wenlong said with a laugh.

"Now that the house and car are yours, the two of you don't have to be sneaky anymore."

"Let me tell you, if she didn't earn more than me, I wouldn't have lived with her," Song Wenhai said.

"I wanted to get more money from her, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Still, it doesn't matter. I guess all her money has been spent on the car. Now that the car is in my hands, I'll treat it as a good thing."

"That's right."

Song Wenlong raised his glass. "Big Brother, we're happy today. We won't go home until we get drunk."

"Come, come, let me toast everyone. We won't go home until we get drunk!"

Bang!

Just as everyone was about to finish their drinks, Lin Yi kicked open the door of the private room, giving the Song brothers a fright.

"Wang Ying, what are you doing here?!"

Wenhai was surprised to see Wang Ying here, but what made him even more curious was the man standing next to her.

Wang Ying was too scared to say anything in the face of this, and she subconsciously stood behind Lin Yi.

"You've done so many shameless things, yet you're asking us why we're here?"

Wenlong's men all stood up when they saw Lin Yi coming, but they were stopped by Wenhai.

"I was wondering why you dared to come here. So you found someone to back you up." Song Wenhai said

"So what if I did? What right do you have to cheat on me and make me leave with nothing!"

"What right do I have? My brother has power and influence!" Song Wenhai said.

"They say that a husband and wife have a hundred days of grace, but I really didn't want to lose all our unionship. I was willing to make do with you, but you wanted to divorce me. In that case, I can only say that I'm sorry. Everything in this house belongs to me. It has nothing to do with you!" Wenhai shouted.

"Big Brother, you are already divorced. Why are you still talking nonsense with her?" Song Wenlong said.

"Giving her a few thousand dollars will be sufficient."

"Don't say that. No matter what, she used to be your sister-in-law."

After saying that, Song Wenhai looked at Wang Ying and said,

"You know my character. I'm not a greedy person. It hasn't been easy for you all these years. I'll transfer another five thousand dollars to you later so that we can part on good terms. Don't appear in front of me again in the future."

"Who cares about your stinky money!" Wang Ying said. "Besides, I saved up all the money at home. What does any of that have to do with you?"

"You saved up?" Wenhai laughed.

"Interesting. So what if you saved up? It's all mine now. It's useless to sue me in court. You'll still have to give it to me in the end." Wenhai said with a smile.

Pang!

Lin Yi didn't say anything. He simply picked up the empty beer bottle and threw it at Wenhai.

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen one as shameless as you. You're really ruining my view of the world. I'm so rich, yet I'm not as pretentious as you."

Ah!

The beer bottle shattered on Song Wenhai's head, and blood flowed down his forehead as he fell to the ground.

"You dare to hit my big brother!" Song Wenlong took out a fruit knife and charged at Lin Yi.

"You better behave yourself!"

Liu Yinxi cursed, "Let me tell you, Mr. Lin is Young Master Qin's friend. If you dare to touch him, Young Master Qin will make you crawl out of this bar."

"F*ck your Young Master Qin. If you dare to touch my big brother, even if the heavenly king himself comes, I will still kill him!"

Song Wenlong didn't care who Young Master Qin was. He charged at Lin Yi without any hesitation.

"Be careful, Little Yi!"

Lin Yi's brows furrowed and he grabbed Song Wenlong's wrist. Song Wenlong screamed as his dagger fell to the ground. He lost his combat ability in an instant.

Hutong!

After subduing Wenlong, Lin Yi kicked Wenlong's body until it rolled a few meters away before stopping.

"Long Bro!"

Seeing Wenlong fall to the ground, the rest of the men in the room surrounded him.

"Don't worry about me, hold this kid down!" Wenlong shouted.

"F*ck, let me see who's so f*cking powerful that he wants to touch Qin Han's brother!"

The sudden voice made song Wenlong's men stop in their tracks and stare at the person who was walking over from outside.

Song Wenlong was dumbfounded as this man claimed to be Qin Han!

"You are the Emperor of Zhong Hai, Qin Han!"

"Since you know my name, things will be much easier."

After confirming Qin Han's identity, Song Wenlong's face turned ashen and he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the Young Master Qin that Liu Yinxi was talking about was actually Qin Han!

How could such a man become friends with them?!

"Young Master Qin, this is a family matter. I hope you can give us some face and not get involved," Song Wenlong said.

Qin Han frowned. "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in such a tone?"

"I know that the Qin family is a big family and is not something a small fry like me can compare to. However, my boss, Sister Hong, is also a well-known figure in the underworld. I believe Young Master Qin has heard of her name before. It shouldn't be a problem to give her some face, right?"

"What the f*ck cares if it's Sister Hong, or Sister Hang? Even if that b*tch were here, she wouldn't dare to speak to me in such a manner. Who the f*ck do you think you are!"

Song Wenlong's eyes narrowed.

"When we come out to do business, we all maintain the peace to ensure we all make money. Why should we make enemies because of these two people?" Song Wenlong said.

"It's better to be friends with us than to be friends with these two people."

"Being friends with people like you will only lower my level. I won't make things difficult for you today. Leave behind two sets of hands, and today's matter will be settled."

Song Wenlong clenched his fists tightly. He didn't expect Qin Han to be such a stubborn person.

He had said so many nice things and even brought Sister Hong's name out, yet he didn't give her any face at all!

Did he really think that he could be so overbearing just because he had a big family and large business!

"Since Young Master Qin is determined to shed all pretense of cordiality, then I have nothing more to say."

Song Wenlong leaned against the sofa, one hand covering his chest and the other holding his phone.

"I'm just a nobody. I don't have the right to talk to Young Master Qin. I'll call Hong Sis now and ask her to handle this." Wenlong said.

"You don't have to call her. I'm here!"

Just as the call was about to go through, a cold snort came from outside the door.

A woman in a red dress walked in from outside.

The woman was in her forties. She was a little chubby with short hair and an emerald ring on her hand. There were two people following behind her, giving off an imposing aura.

Lin Yi guessed that the woman was the Sister Hong that Wenlong had been talking about.

It wasn't a coincidence that she'd come at this time. It was very likely that Qin Han had sent her here.

Wenlong looked up and was overjoyed.

"Hong Sis, you have to stand up for me!"

Wenlong walked over to the woman as soon as he saw her.

Slap!

When Song Wenlong walked over, Sister Hong slapped him in the face.

"You've caused such a big mess for me, so why should I stand up for you!"

Song Wenlong was a little lost after being slapped by this slap.

"Sister Hong, this is a family matter. It has nothing to do with Young Master Qin, but he forcefully stepped in. This is clearly unreasonable!"

"You still have the cheek to say this!" Sister Hong scolded loudly,

"Let me tell you. You should be glad that Young Master Qin was the one to handle this matter. If it was Mr. Lin who handled it, you wouldn't even know how you died!"

"Mr. Lin? which Mr. Lin?"

"The one standing in front of you!" Sister Hong said.

"Putting aside how big Mr. Lin's family business is, even Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang were submissive in front of him. How big of a wave do you think you can create?"

Song Wenlong and his men were completely dumbfounded.

Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang were both famous figures on Zhonghai Road.

Their fame and strength weren't any inferior to Sister Hong's.

However, people like them were subdued by the man in front of them?

What was his background?

How did his ex-sister-in-law know such a person?

"Young Master Qin, it's my fault for not teaching him well. Tell me how to deal with this matter. I promise I'll make you satisfied!" Sister Hong said.

Qin Han looked at Lin Yi. "Are you willing to take both his hands? If you're not satisfied, I'll give you two more legs."

"In that case I think just one hand will do. This is because I don't want him going out and hurting people again." Lin Yi said.

"Alright, take them away first. I'll help you clean up this mess." Sister Hong said.

Lin Yi nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll leave these two to you."

"No, no!"

Song Wenlong and Song Wenhai panicked as they scrambled to Wang Ying's side.

"Sister-in-law, you have to plead for me. I know I'm wrong!"

Song Wenlong kept slapping himself. If he fell into their hands, he wouldn't be able to live anymore.

"Yingying, I know I'm wrong too. I'll give you my house and car. I'll leave with nothing. You can't let them do anything to me!" Song Wenhai said.

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Wang Ying took a deep breath. "It's over between the two of us. There's no point in pleading with me."

"Don't tell me you don't care about our relationship as husband and wife? Our marriage had been since day one!"

"When you chased me out of the house, why didn't you say anything about our marriage? If it wasn't for Little Yi's help, I'm afraid I would have ended up on the streets. It's too late to say all this now."

"I know I've let you down. I'm worse than a pig and a dog, but I've really realized my mistake. Don't lower yourself to my level."

Pa Pa Pa Pa…

Seeing Song Wenhai kneeling on the ground and continuously slapping himself, Wang Ying couldn't bear it.

A woman's heart was made of water. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't set her mind to do something with a heart of stone.

"Yi, can you give me some face and let them go? Just don't let me see them in Zhong Hai in the future."

"I'll give you face if you ask me to."

Lin Yi looked at Qin Han. "Let them go, and make them leave Zhong Hai. Don't let them show up here ever again."

It was Wang Ying's matters, so it was up to her to decide how to deal with it. Lin Yi didn't make the decision on his own.

"You let them off f*cking easy."

"Alright, calm down." Lin Yi patted Qin Han's shoulder.

"I'm leaving now. I'll have to trouble you with this. By the way, isn't my Lykan with you? Take It and drive it around. You don't have to return it."

"F*ck off! Our business is different. Don't bring anything else into this or we won't ever be even."

"In that case, I apologize for the trouble."

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi left the bar with Wang Ying and drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

"Rest well tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Lin Yi said when they reached home.

"Yi, thank you so much for today. I really don't know what I would have done without you."

"It's nothing, don't take it to heart. Rest well." Lin Yi said.

"Okay."

Wang Ying was exhausted after what had happened. It didn't take long before he heard her snoring.

Lin Yi went back to his room to rest after seeing that he was fine. When he woke up the next morning, he found Wang Ying in her pajamas making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Go wash up, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"This is your home, what's there to stand on ceremony for?" Wang Ying smiled. "I should be the one being polite."

"You don't have to stand on ceremony, just treat it like your own home."

After washing up, breakfast was served on the table. Although the style was simple, it looked very appetizing.

"Now that the matters at home have been settled, what are your plans for the future?"

"I want to sell the house and buy a new one in another location. It can be considered a fresh start."

"This is one possibility, but if you can't find a suitable one, you can always stay at my place. All nine villas are mine. You can choose whichever one you like."

"No way, all nine villas are yours?" Wang Ying stared at Wang Ying with her beautiful eyes. "Jiuzhou Pavilion is the number one luxury estate in Zhong Hai. The nine villas added together are worth close to 10 billion."

"It's just a few houses. Don't make a fuss. You can choose whichever one you want to live in."

"Forget it. President Ji, the wife of the main house, hasn't stated that she would live here yet. I'm not even your lover, so how can I have the right to stay here?"

"She's her, and you're you. What's the point of keeping things so separate?" Lin Yi asked,

"That won't do. Women are very jealous," Wang Ying said.

"You'd better take down a woman as perfect as President Ji. If you miss the chance, you won't be able to find someone as good as her in the future."

"Alright, I'll hold on tight," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"That's right." Wang Ying held her chin with one hand and looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

"You have to straighten up the red flag at home, or else it won't be able to fly."

"Sister Ying, that's a great metaphor."

"That's why you have to listen to me and take down the president as soon as possible. That's the real priority."

"No problem."

After dinner, Wang Ying cleaned up the table and drove off.

After leaving the house, Lin Yi opened the system page. He only needed five stars to complete his mission.

"You have a new order, please check it."

As Lin Yi was strolling on the street, an order popped up on his phone.

The contents of the order was very interesting. He was asked to buy a high-quality replica Patek Philippe Watch, and the price was between 500 and 1000.

There was also a small note below.

If he couldn't buy a Patek Philippe Watch, other high-quality watches were also acceptable.

However, the price was too broad, so Lin Yi called back to avoid a dispute. He wanted to confirm the details with the buyer.

Even so, when the call was connected, something even more interesting happened.

What appeared on the phone screen wasn't a phone number, but Song Jia's name.

Lin Yi was stunned. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?

The person who placed the order for him was Song Jia?

The call was picked up quickly.

"Director Lin, this is the first time you've called me after so lng," Song Jia said with a smile.

"Were you looking for Sister Su, but couldn't find her, and that's why you called me?"

Lin Yi smiled when he heard Song Jia's voice.

"I don't want to look for that menopausal tigress. Didn't you place an order online for a Patek Philippe Watch? I'm calling to confirm it."

"Huh?"

Song Jia was obviously stunned. "I did place an order, but how did you know?"

"Because I'm the errand boy. I received your order."

"No way! What a coincidence!" Song Jia said in surprise.

Sugar knew about Lin Yi's job, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't tell anyone else.

Thus, Song Jia didn't know that Lin Yi was an errand boy.

She didn't know that Lin Yi was a rich second generation either.

"What a coincidence."

"Wait, Director Lin, why are you running errands? You can't do this kind of work." Song Jia said.

"Aren't you on good terms with Qin Han? Can't you just ask him to give you a job? You can't just run errands."

Lin Yi's relationship with Qin Han had been revealed earlier when Sun Xiaoyu tried to jump off a building.

Song Jia couldn't understand why Lin Yi was doing this kind of work.

"It's a very independent job, and it earns a lot of money. I think it's pretty good." Lin Yi said.

"The salary of the school committee is indeed a bit low, but it's still acceptable. It's such a pity for you to have such a job. It's not decent at all."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. I think it's pretty good."Lin Yi said with a smile, then changed the topic,

"Are you sure you want a high-quality replica Patek Philippe? If there's no objection, I'll buy it." Lin Yi said with a smile

"That's all, Director Lin. Wait, I'll cancel this deal. I'm really embarrassed to ask you to run errands for me." Song Jia said

"No, no, no. I appreciate your kindness, but this is what I do. If you ask someone else to take this deal, the money will go to an outsider."

Lin Yi wouldn't ask Song Jia to cancel this deal no matter what.

With the relationship between the two of them, there was no way he would not get a five-star review. The mission would be completed as well.

If he let someone else take the job, who knew how much time he would have to waste to complete the task.

"Are you sure it's okay? How could I, Song Jia, do that?"

"What's the big deal? If you're sure you want to buy a watch, I'll go right now."

"Alright then, I'll have to trouble you with that, Director Lin." Song Jia said.

"You have to help me pick out a watch. The more authentic the better. It doesn't matter if it's slightly over budget. You can't let anyone else see it though." Song Jia said.

"Leave it to me."

Lin Yi hung up the phone and started thinking about where to buy a watch.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of a suitable location.

With Lin Yi's wealth, he had already said goodbye to the world of fake watches.

"Miss Song's personality isn't bad. She's much better than that tigress. Why don't I give her a real one? It's not that expensive anyway."

Lin Yi made up his mind and drove to Times Square. He soon arrived at the Patek Philippe's shop with ease.

Lin Yi didn't know much about watches, so he could only look at the appearance of the watch. Then, he saw a platinum version of a female watch with diamonds on the dial.

The design was pretty good, and it matched Song Jia's petite figure.

"Can you show me this watch?"

The female Patek Philippe employee walked over. "Sir, the price is 1.72 million. Are you sure you want to see it?"

"Huh? Why not? Are you afraid that I can't afford it?"

"What are you talking about!"

Before the female employee could say anything, he heard someone shouting.

Lin Yi looked to the side and recognized the person.

It seemed to be the store manager of Patek Philippe. She was the person who had given him the 175th-anniversary gift.

"Xia Sis, I didn't say anything. I just told him the price," the salesgirl said innocently.

"You're still trying to argue!"The store manager scolded,

"Wait for me in the storeroom. I'll deal with you later!"

The female employee felt wronged after being scolded for no reason, but she could only obediently return to the storeroom at the back and wait for the manager to come over and grill her about the situation.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. She's new to our store and doesn't know the rules. Please don't lower yourself to her level," the female manager apologized.

"I'm not a petty person, but it's best for you to improve your employee training."

"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Lin is right. We'll pay attention to this." The female manager looked at Lin Yi.

"Mr. Lin, do you like this watch? I'll show it to you."

"You don't have to show me. Just pack it up."

The female manager was overjoyed and sighed.

He was indeed a rich man!

A watch worth 1.72 million was probably equivalent to 172 in his eyes.

"Mr. Lin, since you're a platinum member of Times Square, you can enjoy a 30% discount. I'll round it down for you as well. You just have to pay 1,200,000 dollars."

"Alright, pack it for me please."

The transaction process was over quickly. After swiping the card, Lin Yi took the watch and left.

At the same time, the female store manager rushed back to the storeroom, ready to deal with what had just happened.

"Xia Sis, I didn't do anything wrong just now. I can tell from his looks that he didn't have the purchasing power, and it was a waste of time. What's the point of serving him?"

"You say he doesn't have the purchasing power?"

The female store manager took out Lin Yi's order. "He bought that 1.72 million dollar watch in less than three minutes. Do you still think he doesn't have the purchasing power?"

The female employee was dumbfounded. "He bought the 1.72 million dollar watch in less than three minutes?"

"That's nothing. When he bought the 175th-anniversary edition Patek, he didn't even bat an eyelid."

The salesgirl's mind went blank when she heard that.

"He's that rich?"

"What do you think?" The manager lectured.

"Be careful in the future. Don't think customers can't afford it just because they're young. That's a lesson for you, got it?"

"Got it. I won't do it again." the salesgirl said.

After buying the watch, Lin Yi drove to Song Jia's place.

Song Jia lived in a small single-family apartment. It was a loft-style apartment that measured more than 50 square meters.

Song Jia was dressed casually, wearing a long white shirt with her legs exposed.

At first glance, it looked like she wasn't wearing pants.

"Director Lin, come in quickly. It's so hot. You must be tired." Song Jia said.

"I'm not tired, I bought the watch for you. See if you're satisfied."

Song Jia took the watch from Lin Yi and was shocked.

"No way, this is too real. If I didn't give you the request myself, I would have thought that it was real."

Song Jia held the watch and looked at it for a long time. "Director Lin, you're really something. You actually bought such a good item. How much did you spend?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. It was a real watch, wasn't it?

However, Lin Yi didn't say anything about it.

With Song Jia's salary, she definitely couldn't afford 1.2 million. Fortunately, he didn't tell her the truth.

"It's not much. We're colleagues after all. Consider it a gift to you."

"Don't, Director Lin. If you say that, I'll think that you're trying to hit on me," Song Jia said with a laugh.

"Be mindful of your status, you're a teacher after all."

"We're in my house, and there are no outsiders here," Song Jia said. "How much did you spend? I'll give you the money now."

"I spent 260 dollars. I know the person who sold the watch, so it didn't cost much." Lin Yi said.

"Director Lin, you've really impressed me. You even know the person who sells the fake watches. It's good to have acquaintances."

After that, Song Jia transferred 260 dollars to Lin Yi through WeChat.

"Director Lin, I transferred the money to you."

Lin Yi nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Don't forget to give me a five-star rating."

"No problem, I'll do it now."

Song Jia took her phone and prepared to complete the transaction.

However, just as she was about to do it, she suddenly looked at Lin Yi with a burning gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Why do I feel like you're about to pounce on me?"

"Director Lin, I want to ask you something," Song Jia said with ill intentions, as if she was a regular customer.

"Ask me what?"

"Do you know how to act like a rich man?"

Huh?

What kind of question was that? I'm a rich man to begin with!

"What are you doing?"

"I have a class reunion tonight, but you know that class reunions are just an opportunity to show off your wealth. I can't let others get one over me."

"It turns out you were buying this watch to show off."

"Of course," Song Jia said. "These people nowadays are all gloomy inside. They can't wait to see you having a worse life than them. I can't let them get their way."

"But you're just a school committee member. Your salary is limited. You can't flaunt your wealth."

"That's why I asked you if you're able to pretend to be rich. Then, you can pretend to be my boyfriend and let them think that I'm living well now! That'll p*ss them off!"

"It can't be that bad. If you really look down on those people, just don't go."

"I really didn't want to go at first, but you don't know how hateful those people are."

The more Song Jia talked, the more excited she became. She sat cross-legged on the sofa.

"What are you talking about? Top students from college should be doing pretty well now. At the very least, they should be earning at least a million a year.

"We underachievers are the most useless. When we go out, we can only drive cars like Mercedes-benz and BMWs. We can't compare with Jiajia."

The more Song Jia talked, the angrier she got. "Director Lin, listen to this. Aren't they clearly provoking me? If I don't go, I'll be laughed to death by them."

"Alright then. I have nothing to do, so I'll go with you."

"Okay, okay." Song Jia nodded. "Director Lin, when the time comes, you have to pretend to be very rich and brag about how rich you are. Just say that you have a few companies under your control and that you're extremely rich. Try to take them down at the start!"

"Uh, I'll give it a try."

Lin Yi wasn't sure if he had the temperament of a tycoon.

Qin Han was more suitable for this kind of work.

"Hehe, thank you, Director Lin."Song Jia said with a smile.

"I'm going to take a shower now. We'll go out when the suit I rented arrives."

"You rented a suit?"

"Yeah." Song Jia said. "I was going to ask my friend for help in the beginning, but I thought that you were more handsome and more elegant than him, so I passed on him. I just decided to ask you for help."

"I stole his business. That's not good."

"I can't help it. Director Lin is so handsome."

"I like honest people like you."

Song Jia chuckled. "Director Lin, wait for me. There are fruits and drinks in the fridge. Just make yourself at home."

"Okay, go do your thing."

"Okay."

Song Jia went to the bathroom. Lin Yi was a little thirsty, but he gave up on the idea of going through the fridge.

Song Jia also had the habit of wearing silk stockings. She probably had some in the fridge as well. It was better to drink some water.

During this time, the suit that Song Jia rented was also sent over.

The person who sent the suit was his colleague, an errand boy.

Half an hour later, Song Jia came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body. Although her figure wasn't as curvy as Sugar's, the scene was still attractive enough.

"Director Lin, there's a computer on the coffee table. You can use it to entertain yourself. I'll go put on some makeup. It'll take about twenty minutes to finish."

"Sure, don't forget the five-star rating please. I'm waiting."

"Okay, no problem."

Song Jia went back to her room to put on her makeup while Lin Yi played with his phone in boredom.

Within a few minutes, song Jia's five-star rating came in.

At the same time, the system notification sounded in his mind.

[ Mission completed. Reward: 100,000 experience points. ]

[ Professional proficiency: 100%. Reward: 3 billion USD! ]

[Errand profession locked. Unable to unlock. ]

Lin Yi's heart didn't waver when he saw the reward of 3 billion USD. It was already within his expectations.

The mission reward was 100,000 experience points while the reward was 3 billion, which was pretty good.

After all, he had only received 2 billion out from the previous 200,000 experience points. Thus, he had to be content with this.

After this, he looked at the system page and realized that the errand running job had already been locked.

The interesting thing was that there was a golden medal in the attribute panel, similar to the achievement system in the game.

Lin Yi laid down on the sofa and relaxed as he studied what he should do next.

The cooldowns for both the teacher and Didi driver jobs had already ended, so he had to choose one to complete the corresponding ultimate mission.

"Miss Song." Lin Yi shouted upstairs.

"What's up? Don't worry, I'm almost done."

"No problem, you can take your time." Lin Yi said. "I just want to ask, are the school holidays coming soon?"

"Yeah, the exams are in twenty days. Is something the matter, Director Lin?"

"It's nothing, go do your thing."

Lin Yi did some calculations. If that was the case, he had to complete the final task for the class first.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to complete the task even if he started his old job while the students were on vacation.

Therefore, it was down to him now!

Song Jia waited for about half an hour before she walked down the stairs.

However,her makeup was a little different from her usual style.

Song Jia was the girl next door type, unlike Sugar.

But today, she changed into a black wrap dress. Her sweet style had a hint of wildness and boldness. Lin Yi didn't recognize her at all.

The only drawback was that her figure wasn't as outstanding as Sugar's. If the latter was the one wearing it, the effect would probably be better.

"Vice-President Lin, what do you think of my outfit? Do I look like an elite working girl?" Song Jia asked

"It's a little interesting." Lin Yi said

"Just a little?" Song Jia pouted. "Then wait a while. I'll find the other accesories. I think the effect will be better if I add those."

As she spoke, Song Jia took out a pair of flesh-colored stockings from the fridge and skillfully put them on her legs.

Apart from that, she also grabbed a pair of black lace-up high heels. Song Jia, who was originally of medium build, immediately became taller with the help of the high heels. She looked more like a big sister now.

"Vice-President Lin, what do you think now?"

Lin Yi rubbed his chin and commented, "I feel that it is a lot better, but I feel like something's not right. It's missing something"

"No way. I put on all my accessories. Why is it still not right?" Song Jia said dejectedly.

"I think you should ask Sugar about this. This is more her style."

"This is the outfit that Sis Su gave me. The outfit cost me thousands of dollars."

Suddenly, Song Jia's eyes lit up as if she thought of something.

"Vice-President Lin, is my outfit is a little lacking compared to Sis Su's?"

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.

"Then I know where the difference lies." Song Jia said excitedly. "Vice-Presidet Lin, wait for me for a while. I'll be right down."

Lin Yi didn't know what Song Jia was thinking when he saw her mumbling, so he waited for her downstairs.

About ten minutes later, Song Jia came down .

Her clothes didn't change much, but her figure had changed.

Not only was her front bulging, her back was also bulging.

Amazing!

"Vice-President Lin, what do you think of me know?"

Song Jia walked around in a circle and showed everything.

"Not bad, not bad. Now it's right." Lin Yi nodded. "But how did you do it?"

"I filled it with something," Song Jia said without any hesitation.

"After comparing myself to others, I ended up having to discard a lot of my shopping. Sister Su wears underwear that is a size smaller every day when she goes to work, yet I have to put something in it to fill it up. It's so sad."

"Don't feel sorry for yourself. At least you can save on fabric. This is considered low-carbon and environmentally friendly. You can save energy and reduce emissions in this way."

"Haha, Vice-President Lin sure knows how to talk." Song Jia laughed. "Come, come, it's almost time. Put on your suit. Let's go."

"Okay."

Lin Yi nodded and put on the suit that Song Jia had rented.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't take it anymore. Vice-President Lin, you're too handsome. I feel like I can't control myself anymore." Song Jia said with a smile.

"When you get to D-cup, come and look for me. I'll definitely give you this chance."

"Hehe, I don't dare to snatch you from Sister Su."

She pulled Lin Yi to the mirror and held his arm.

"Vice-President Lin, no one will suspect us if we go out like this, right?" Song Jia asked

"It's good, there'll be no problem." Lin Yi said.

"Let's go," Song Jia said happily:

"Vice-President Lin, when we get to the hotel, you have to act like a nouveau riche. You have to step out and suppress them. I want to crush them in all aspects." Song Jia said.

"I'll try my best," Lin Yi said with a smile.

However, in his current state, he didn't need to pretend anymore. He just needed to drive the Koenigsegg there.

After they were ready, they went downstairs together.

"Why did you press the basement floor?"

"The car is in the parking lot downstairs," Song Jia said. "I borrowed the A6 from Sister Su. It won't be shameful to drive this car."

"Are you sure you want to use Suger's A6? I can get a better car," Lin Yi said.

"A better car? Is it the Koenigsegg?" Song Jia asked

"How do you know?" Lin Yi asked

"I've seen you drive it before," Song Jia said.

"But isn't it Qin Han's? This is not a big deal for me. I don't need to borrow it from him. It's a favor. It won't be easy to return the favor in the future. Just drive Sister Su's A6."

Lin Yi was speechless. He'd been using it for a long time, yet she thought that his car was Qin Han's.

"Alright, if you want to drive the A6, then let's drive the A6."

The two got into the car when they reached the underground parking lot.

"Vice-President Lin, let's go to the Peninsula Hotel."

Huh???

Lin Yi paused for a moment. It turns out that they were visiting his turf, so things would go much smoother.

Lin Yi drove to the Peninsula Hotel with ease.

"Manager Wang, Director Lin is here!"

Hearing the lobby manager's words, Tianlong Wang, who was checking the fireworks, immediately stopped what he was doing and saw that it was really Lin Yi.

"Wait, don't move!"

Tianlong Wang said, "Don't greet Director Lin."

"Why? Director Lin is here. It won't be good to slack off."

"Didn't you see that Director Lin has a woman with him? She's probably a new girl, so you can't reveal his identity," Tianlong Wang said.

"Pass the message down. No one is allowed to reveal his identity. I repeat, if you prevent Director Lin from picking up girls, you will be fired."

If one day Lin Yi ascended the throne, Tianlong Wang could be his closest advisor.

"Got it, Manager Wang."

The lobby manager sighed, "You really get wiser with old age."

The two of them went up to the third floor together and pushed open the door of Room 306.

There was a large round table inside which could accommodate more than twenty people. There was still a lot of space in the room.

Lin Yi looked around. There were twenty-four people in the room. Most of them were girls, but all of them were wearing heavy makeup. They were all dressed up beautifully, and there was the pungent smell of perfume in the air.

"Yo, Jiajia's here. Everyone's already arrived. We were just waiting for you."

The woman who spoke was called Li Xueru. She was Song Jia's roommate in college, but their relationship had never been very good.

"I'm really sorry." Song Jia said with a smile.

"I stayed up too late last night. I only fell asleep at dawn, and I slept until noon. Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Lin Yi, "???"

She did not leave any room for the imagination!

In an instant, Lin Yi noticed that the women in the room were looking at him with burning eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up.

"Jiajia, you're really something. You found such a handsome boyfriend after graduation," Li Xueru said.

"That wasn't something I should admit to so openly. I'm so sorry," Song Jia said with a smile.

"After all, there aren't many people like my boyfriend."

Lin Yi, 'You really dared to say that?!'

Chapter 227: Cannot Keep a Low Profile Anymore

Lin Yi noticed that all the men were looking away after Song Jia finished speaking, as if she was talking about their sore spot.

They pulled over two chairs and sat down, then Song Jia introduced him,

"Let me introduce my boyfriend, his name is Lin Yi."

Lin Yi nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Come, come, everyone's here. Let's order now."

The man's name was Qian Xu, the class president during Song Jia's university days.

After graduating from university, he took over the family business. His annual net income was around one million dollars. He was one of the more successful ones among Song Jia's classmates.

"Class President, I heard that you took over the family business after graduation. You're doing pretty well now, right?"

"What's so good about that? I only earn a little over a million a year. I can barely make ends meet," Qian Xu said with a smile.

"You can barely make ends meet with an annual income of a million? Then I can't survive at all."

"Old Sun, I heard that you work at a bank. Your income and benefits aren't bad either, right?"

"I can't compare to you. Putting together my salary and bonus, plus some shady income, I barely make 500,000. It's too miserable."

"It's not bad. Although we are in Zhong Hai, this salary is enough to enjoy oneself."

"My life is over. I don't think I have any hope of getting promoted."

Qian Xu looked at another boy with a smile. "Haozi, I heard that you've become a section chief. Not bad. In another ten or eight years, you should be able to become a director, right?"

"Don't make fun of me. Being a section chief is complete chaos. As for the matter of directorship, I'll leave it up to God." The boy named Haozi said.

"Let me tell you, out of all our classmates, the best is still Xueru. No one can compare to her."

"Don't say that." Xueru said with a smile,

"Look at Jiajia's boyfriend. Isn't he a good-looking guy? His job must be pretty good too."

Song Jia paused. She seemed to have forgotten to discuss this before she left.

If he just ran errands, wouldn't they laugh at her?

"I started a company, so I'm barely making a living," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's just a small company. There's nothing to show off about."

Song Jia didn't want to discuss this topic since she hadn't talked about it before.

"A small company? How small can it be?"

Li Xueru said, "My boyfriend also started a small company. His shares are now worth 80 million dollars. If we work hard next year, it won't be a problem to break past the 100 million dollar mark."

"Little Ru, our company is not big. Even if it breaks past 100 million, it's nothing."

The person who spoke was Li Xueru's boyfriend, Gao Renxing, the boss of a start-up company.

"You're right. It's been more than two years since you established the start-up, and the stock value is only 80 million. It's indeed a little low." Li Xueru looked at Song Jia and said,

"Jia Jia, no matter how small your boyfriend's company is, it can't be as small as my boyfriend's."

"You might have misunderstood. Mine is quite big, or else I wouldn't have been able to spend the whole night here. It's much bigger than your boyfriend's."

Pfft!

The girls present laughed out loud.

Why were they discussing this at a class reunion?

Xueru's expression was awkward. "I didn't mean that. I meant the size of the company."

"I didn't mean anything else," Lin Yi said innocently. "Why are you thinking like that? It's not a habit, is it?"

"You!"

Xueru was furious. This man was too outspoken!

"Mr. Lin, it's a bit rude to speak like that," Gao Renxing said,

"Why are you so aggressive when it comes to your company? Did it touch your sore spot? Did you feel that your company's size isn't impressive enough, and that's why you are lashing out?"

"I'm here to attend Jiajia's class reunion, so I wanted to keep a low profile. If I started flaunting my wealth, then I'd be embarassed."

"We're all classmates, and there are no outsiders here. What's the big deal if we just casually chat about this? Are you afraid that we'll try to borrow money from you?"

"That's right."

Li Xueru, "…"

Why aren't you playing by the rules?!

Seeing that Li Xueru looked like she was about to explode, Song Jia couldn't stop laughing in her heart.

Director Lin was too amazing. He managed to put out the fire with just a few words.

He was too good at acting!

"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about all this." Qian Xu raised his glass and said,

"We haven't seen each other for such a long time. It's not easy to gather together. Everyone, open your stomachs and drink. Today is my treat. Don't fight with me over it."

"Class monitor, what are you talking about? This class gathering was organized by myself. How can I let you spend money to treat me?" Li Xueru said.

"Just let my boyfriend take care of it. Besides, he's very familiar with the manager of Peninsula Hotel. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to hold a class reunion here."

"No way. Mr. Gao knows the manager of Peninsula Hotel?" Qian Xu was surprised.

Gao Renxing nodded with an expression of superiority on his face.

"Previously, I came here for some activities with a few friends who are in the investment industry. After a while, I got to know Manager Wang. If I go over to talk to him, he will be pleased."

"Mr. Gao is really amazing. We are all small business owners, but we don't have such strong connections," Qian Xu said with a smile.

"I suggest that we toast to Mr. Gao. We will be friends in the future. We must keep in touch."

"Right, let's drink," the rat raised his glass and said.

"We are all classmates. Why are you being so polite?" Li Xue Ru also raised her glass. Her vanity had never been so satisfied before.

However, the moment she raised her glass, Li Xueru saw the watch that Song Jia was wearing, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Jia Jia, the watch that you are wearing is quite beautiful, what brand is it?" Li Xue Ru changed the topic and said with a smile.

"It is a little similar to my LV Watch."

"I don't know what brand it is, it was given to me by my boyfriend." Song Jia said indifferently: "It seems to be a Patek Philippe."

"It's a Patek Philippe?!"

Qian Xu was surprised. He couldn't believe that Song Jia would wear this brand of watch.

"Is this brand very good?" Li Xueru said, "It's not as good as Louis Vuitton."

"Xue Ru, if you say that, you really sound like an amateur." Qian Xu said,

"Patek Philippe is the king of watches. It's the most awesome watch brand in the world. It's not even comparable. Although Louis Vuitton is considered a luxury product, in the field of watches, it can't be compared to Patek Philippe."

"Wow, so it's actually that good." Li Xueru said a little awkwardly,

"But I think that the price of the items should be considered. The high-end models of other brands are not necessarily inferior to the low-end Patek Philippe models, right?"

"What you said makes sense." Qian Xu nodded and said,

"I see that your watch is inlaid with more than ten diamonds. It must not be cheap."

"Class monitor, you have good taste." Li Xueru showed her watch and said,

"On this watch are 12 real South African diamonds. It cost more than 420,000 dollars when I bought it."

"My God, no way. It cost more than 400,000 dollars just to buy a watch? It's almost the same price as my work for a year." Old Sun said.

"I actually thought it was a bit too expensive, too. I didn't agree to get it at first, but Gao insisted on giving it to me for my birthday, and I had no choice but to accept it."

Lin Yi smiled.

It was no wonder that Song Jiayi had told him to act as rich as possible. Her classmates were really something.

It seemed that he could no longer keep a low profile.

Chapter 228: The Watch Is Real

"Oh right, Jiajia, isn't your Patek Philippe the number one watch brand? It must be more expensive than my watch."

"This…"

Song Jia paused for a moment. The watch she bought was a high-quality imitation. She didn't even know how much it was worth!

"Xueru, stop fooling around. Your watch is worth more than 400,000 dollars. How many other watchers can compare to yours?" Qian Xu complimented. He even glanced at Gao Renxing a few times.

This man wasn't ordinary. He had to have a few drinks with him later during dinner to build a good relationship with him and expand his social network.

"1.2 million dollars," Lin Yi said lightly.

"Huh? What did you say?" Li Xueru paused. "What's 1.2 million dollars?"

"Didn't you ask how much Jiajia's watch cost? I spent 1.2 million dollars on it."

Hiss…

Everyone looked at Lin Yi in surprise, their expressions frozen.

He spent 1.2 million on a watch? Wasn't that a bit too extravagant?

Was her boyfriend that rich?

Song Jia let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that Director Lin had reacted quickly and announced the price.

However, wasn't the price a bit too high?

Li Xueru said that her watch cost 400,000 dollars, so let's just raise it to 500,000 dollars. 1.2 million was a bit of an exaggeration.

Sigh, it didn't matter. As long as it could stun her, it would be fine.

"Does Patek Philippe really have such an expensive watch?" The boy named Haozi questioned, "This should be a sky-high price watch."

"It's not that high." Li Xueru's boyfriend, Gao Renxing, said, "But I don't think I've seen this watch before when I visited Patek Philippe's exclusive shop."

"Did he buy a fake watch? I wouldn't think so," Qian Xu said.

"That's just my guess. I can't say for sure," Gao Renxing said with a smile.

"Isn't it simple? There's a code on the watch. We'll know after we check it," Li Xueru said.

Lin Yi smiled at the two of them and shook his head.

If there was a competition for acting tough, Gao Renxing would already win gold. He was also the type of person who would run away after acting tough.

Li Xueru was at most a bronze rank. Gao Renxing would run away after acting tough, but she would continue to act.

"It's just a watch. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?" Song Jia pretended to be calm and said.

Her watch was a fake watch that she bought for 260 dollars. It might not even have a code. How could she check it?!

"Jiajia, don't say that. We are classmates. We are doing it for your own good," Li Xueru said,

"We are only doing this because we are afraid that you might be cheated."

"That makes sense," Qian Xu said. "There are a lot of cheats in this society, so we have to be careful."

"Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand us," Xueru said with a smile. "We are only concerned about Jiajia."

"I understand. Let's check it out," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Under the table, Song Jia held onto Lin Yi's arm. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

"Director Lin, this watch is a high-quality imitation. They'll know it's fake once they check it. Why did you let her check it? I don't want to lose face!"

"It's okay. My friend sells high-quality imitation watches. They're all very authentic. There won't be any problems."

Song Jia didn't know what to say. Even if it was authentic, it was still a high-quality imitation watch.

Once she entered the code and couldn't find it on the official website, it meant that it was a fake!

"Yo, Jiajia, what are you whispering to your boyfriend about? Did we really get it right?" Li Xueru said with a half-smile.

"We're talking about other things. You're thinking too much," Song Jia said anxiously.

"Then let's check it out. We have nothing to do anyway," Li Xueru said,

"But I have a suggestion. Let's check my watch first. What if my boyfriend is trying to trick me too?"

Li Xueru took off her watch and waved it in front of the others. She was very high-profile.

Gao Renxing smiled. He bought this watch in a specialty store, so how could it be fake?

He checked it casually.

Seeing the diamond inlaid on the watch face, Song Jia felt especially bitter.

If she had known that she would be like this, she would not have bought the watch in the first place. Even so, she was not embarrassed enough to back down.

"Xueru, I have already opened LV's official website. Tell me the code and I will help you check it."

"SN932552215."

"Wait a moment, I will check it for you."

A few seconds later, Qian Xu said, "I found the watch. It's indeed authentic."

Li Xueru looked pleased. "Dear, thank you. I knew you wouldn't lie to me."

"But the price doesn't seem to be 420,000 dollars," Qian Xu said. "The price shown on the official website seems to be 380,000 dollars."

"This is very normal," the boy named Haozi said,

"They will definitely increase the price at the exclusive store. With the brand value of Louis Vuitton, 40,000 dollars is not a lot."

"Then why don't you go to Tmall or the flagship store to buy it? There shouldn't be such a large price difference," Qian Xu said,

"It cost an extra 40,000 dollars, which is not a small amount."

"At the beginning, I also had intended to buy it online, but on second thought, the goods on the internet might not be authentic. In the end, I went to the big shopping mall. Although I spent a little more money, it was still worth it to ensure that the goods were authentic," Gao Renxing said with a smile,

"Moreover, people in our circle usually don't buy things online. Although they are cheap, they can't guarantee the quality, so they would rather spend a little more money and go to a specialty store to buy real goods."

"That's right. At your level, you won't care about the small profits. What you care about most is the quality of the items," Qian Xu complimented.

"That's right, that's what I mean."

"The old saying is true. Different income means different class. My main consumption is online shopping."

"I know, right?" Haozi said, "I wait for 618 and 11 every year just to save some money. Sigh, the difference in our lifestyle is too large."

"Don't say anything else. You should work harder to earn money in the future."

"Exactly."

"Alright, I've checked my watch. Let's check Jiajia's too." Li Xueru said,

"We used to be roommates. I don't want her to be cheated."

"No problem."

As he said that, Qian Xu logged onto Patek Philippe's official website and said, "Jiajia, tell me the code of the watch. I'll help you check it."

Song Jia looked nervous and quietly took off the watch.

She prayed that the person who copied the watch would copy the code as well so that it could save some of her face.

Song Jia's face lit up with joy as she held the watch in her hand. There was a line of code on the back of the watch.

"Code, the code is 465868."

"Wait a moment, I'll check it." Qian Xu held his phone with interest and started checking.

Song Jia was so nervous that she grabbed Lin Yi's hand tightly.

Song Jia's mind was racing. They wouldn't be able to find this watch on the official website,

She was about to be exposed. Now, she had to think of an explanation or she would lose face.

"This watch is real!" Qian Xu said.

Huh?

Song Jia froze. How could this be real?

What was going on?

Were they sure?

Everyone looked at Lin Yi and Song Jia in shock when they heard the results!

A watch worth 1.2 million dollars. They didn't even dare to think about it!

Li Xueru lost her cool. It was even more expensive than her own watch!

"Let me see it."

Qian Xu handed the phone over. Li Xueru's face turned ugly when she saw the results on the screen.

It wasn't a good feeling to be compared to someone else!

"What's going on? The price of this watch on the official website is 1.72 million. How could you buy it for 1.2 million?" Li Xueru said.

"Because it was on sale," Lin Yi said.

"I see," Haozi said. "It's normal for famous watches like this to have sales."

"I don't think so." Xueru seemed to have found a breakthrough:

"According to the official website, this watch came out this year. There shouldn't be such a big discount, right?"

"Xueru is right. Usually, only the old items will go on sale. The discount for the new ones is very small. It's already considered very high to be able to get a 5%% discount," the boy called Old Sun said,

"Jiajia's watch is priced at 1.72 million on the official website, and Mr. Lin bought it for 1.2 million, which is equivalent to a 30% discount. This isn't a domestic brand, so how could there be such a big discount?"

"My boyfriend knows someone from Patek Philippe, so it's cheap…"

"Because I'm a member…"

Lin Yi and Song Jia spoke almost at the same time, and the others were all left scratching their heads.

"Hehe, what's going on?" Li Xueru said with a devilish tone. "One said he has connections, and the other said he's a member. We don't know who to listen to."

Song Jia was embarrassed to death. Why did she clash with Vice-President Lin?

They had claimed two different ways they had obtained this watch. Anyone would suspect that there was something fishy going on here!

It was hard to explain now.

Qian Xu looked at Lin Yi with a playful expression. "Mr. Lin, it's just a watch. Why didn't you say the same thing as Jiajia?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Li Xueru said sarcastically. "There must be something fishy going on."

"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think. Both theories are valid, "Lin Yi said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I do know people from Patek Philippe, and I'm a member too. It's that simple."

"Alright, even if your theory is true, I want to know how you bought this watch at a 30% discount. No matter how well-connected you are, you can't make someone give you a 30% discount, right? That's against the rules."

"This has nothing to do with Patek Philippe's discount. I'm a diamond member at Times Square. No matter what I buy, I enjoy a 30% discount. It's as simple as that."

"What did you say?! You're a diamond member at Times Square? !" Gao Renxing exclaimed.

"What's wrong? Can't I be?"

"Hehe… I think you have some misunderstanding about diamond members."

Gao Renxing sneered. "Times Square is one of the highest-class shopping malls in China. Their members are also divided into different levels. Diamond members are the highest level. Do you know how to become a diamond member?"

Everyone shook their heads. They didn't know much about the membership system in Times Square because they hadn't reached that level yet.

They hardly ever went to Times Square.

"Let me explain it to you," Gao Renxing said with conviction,

"According to the membership system in Times Square, you can only become a diamond member if you spend 10 million or more. As far as I know, there are no more than 20 people in the whole of Zhong Hai who have achieved this!"

"Wow, you actually have to spend 10 million to become a diamond member!"

"That's right."

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths!

Jiajia's boyfriend was so rich?

He was a diamond member at Times Square?

Although Jiajia was well-off, it wouldn't be easy for her to find such a rich boyfriend.

Gao Renxing smiled at Lin Yi, "Mr. Lin, Ido doubt your identity as a diamond member."

"It's just 10 million. What's there to doubt?" Lin Yi said speechlessly.

"From Mr. Lin's tone, it seems that 10 million is just a drizzle to you."

"That's not it," Lin Yi said.

"What else could it be? It's only natural for us to doubt you now."

"No, you misunderstood me,"Lin Yi said. "10 million is not even a drizzle to me."

Everyone, "…"

What the f*ck!

They had seen pretentious people before, but they had never seen someone this pretentious before!

He actually said that 10 million dollars wasn't even a drop of water. Did he really think that he was Bill Gates?!

"Hehe…"

Gao Renxing sneered. "If that's the case, why don't you take out your membership card and show us?"

"Yeah, it's also an eye-opener for us. I've never seen a diamond member of Times Square before," Li Xueru said.

"It's just a card, I don't keep it with me every day." Lin Yi said.

"Haha…"

Gao Renxing laughed. "How can we believe your empty words without any evidence?"

"Isn't that simple? I have other ways to prove it."

"What way?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yi curiously, wondering what he would prove.

He pulled up his sleeve, revealing the 175th anniversary wristwatch.

"I bought this watch back then, that's why I got a diamond membership. As for the price and model, you can check the code." Lin Yi took off the wristwatch and said, "429225."

Qian Xu took out his phone and quickly checked.

A few seconds later, he jumped up from his chair.

"This, this is a Patek Philippe 175th anniversary watch. It's priced at 17.5 million!"

"It's so expensive!"

The others couldn't sit still anymore!

They never thought that the watch Lin Yi was wearing would sell for such an astronomical figure!

This man was too rich!

Song Jia's mind went blank. Vice-President Lin was wearing such an expensive watch?

All of a sudden, Song Jia suspected that the watch Lin Yi bought for her might not be a high-quality imitation, but a real one!

Otherwise, no matter how real the imitation was, it couldn't be found on the official website!

"Now you all have no doubts, right?" Lin Yi said with a smile, "Can we eat now?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Let's eat first and talk while we eat."

Although they didn't know Lin Yi's real identity, the watch he was wearing was enough to explain the problem.

Only Li Xueru didn't care. She thought to herself, "What are you pretending for? He might have borrowed the watch but is now acting like a wolf!"

"Come on, let's drink a toast to Mr. Lin and Mr. Gao. You're both famous people. If we encounter any difficulties in Zhong Hai, I'll have to trouble you two."

Lin Yi was rich, but in Qian Xu's eyes, Gao Renxing wasn't bad either.

His company was valued at almost a hundred million, and its future development would definitely be better. There was still a reason to befriend him

"That's for sure. We're both classmates, so it's only natural for us to help each other." Li Xueru agreed, as if trying to save the face she'd just lost.

"Xueru, that's not up to you." Qian Xu said with a smile, "It still depends on Mr. Gao whether he gives us face or not."

"I'm his girlfriend. How can it not be up to me?" Li Xueru said,

"I can't be like Jiajia. My boyfriend has a company, but she still has to go to school to be a teacher to earn pocket money. Sigh…"

"It's mainly because it's easy to be a teacher. That's why I see it."

"Easy? I don't think you take Jiajia seriously, so no one will care about you." Li Xueru said disdainfully.

"Jiajia, you really are something. When you were in school, weren't you quite smart? How come after graduation, you can't even see through his little trick? Sigh, it's such a pity."

"I'm the vice-principal of the university. I arranged for Jiajia to work in the school. In the future, she will be promoted to work in the political sector. My arrangement shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Everyone was shocked!

"W-what did you say? You're the vice-principal of the university?"

Not only were Li Xueru and the others surprised, even Song Jia was stunned.

Didn't Vice-President Lin run errands? How did he become the vice-principal of the Normal University?

"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can look it up on the official website. My information is on it," Lin Yi said slowly.

The crowd didn't believe him and took out their phones, only to really find Lin Yi's name in the leadership section!

"You, you're really the president of the university? !"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Song Jia was confused. How did Vice-President Lin become an honorary vice-president?

This was too magical.

"Didn't you say that you're the boss of a startup company? How did you become the vice-president of Zhonghai Normal University?"

"Maybe it's because I'm too outstanding." Lin Yi shrugged. "If one day you guys are as outstanding as I am, then a school will also invite you guys to be their vice-principal."

Li Xueru's expression was awkward. It was a slap in the face!

"Mr. Lin is really something." Gao renxing said with a smile. "But as far as I know, an honorary vice-principal is just an empty title. I don't think he has any real power."

"Doesn't have any real power?" Lin Yi said. "Could it be that Mr. Gao is the real power principal of a certain university? Which school? I might know it."

Pfft!

Song Jia burst out laughing. Gao Renxing was the boss of a start-up company. He didn't have the ability to be a principal.

"Mr. Lin, you must be joking. I'm not very interested in school matters, so I didn't go in that direction," Gao Renxing said awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Li Xueru changed the topic and said,

"It's not easy for us to get together. Let's drink this glass of wine first. After dinner, we'll find a place to have fun."

"How about going to a disco? I haven't been there for a long time," a girl said.

"Disco dancing is too intense. Let's change to something more comfortable. My old waist can't take it," Qian Xu said.

"How about this? Wangjiang Dock has just been renovated. Let's rent a boat and cruise along the coastline. We can take in the night view of Zhong Hai," Gao Renxing said.

"That's a good idea," the others agreed.

"But I just remembered that Jiajia seems to get seasick. She can't sit on that thing," a girl said.

"It's okay. I know the boss of Wangjiang Dock. I can ask him to get a bigger boat. It'll be steadier so as to avoid seasickness.".

Before they came here, Song Jia had built Lin Yi up as a rich man.

However, now that Lin Yi was wearing a watch worth 17.5 million, she didn't need to set him up anymore.

He might really know people from Wangjiang Dock himself.

"That's quite a coincidence. My boyfriend also knows people from the Wangjiang Dock, and he's the manager. Right now I just don't know which one of you has more reputation there."

"I've known Manager Bi from Wangjiang Dock for many years. who has more reputation than me at Wangjiang Dock?" Gao Renxing said.

"That's perfect. You can contact the people from Wangjiang Dock," Song Jia said calmly, as if she didn't care about it.

Song Jia couldn't make up her mind anymore. She didn't know if Lin Yi genuinely had any connections at Wangjiang Dock.

After all, she had asked him to brag before coming here.

If he was just talking nonsense, then she would be exposed.

Xueru crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking arrogant as if she had won a battle.

"Renxing, I don't think their connections are as good as yours. Even if they called, it wouldn't be as strong as yours. My classmates are all here today. Please help me."

"No problem." Gao Renxing took out his phone. "With my relationship with Manager Bi, as long as I make a call, I can get us a luxury ship. I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied."

"Mr. Gao is really amazing. I heard that Wangjiang Dock is being renovated. The newly-comissioned luxury ship is not lent out at all. I didn't expect Mr. Gao to be able to settle it with a call. That's really amazing."

"It's fine, it's fine. It's nothing. Our friendship is what's most important."

Gao renxing took out his phone and dialed Bi Songjiang's number.

Du Du Du…. Di Di!

The phone was picked up. After a few rings, the call was hung up.

Gao Renxing had a smile on his face and pretended to be calm as he said,

"I wonder why he hung up on me."

"It might be a mistake. Try calling again," said Li Xue Ru.

"It's possible."

Then, Gao Renxing made another call, but it once again disconnected after a few rings.

"I know. Manager Bi must be in a meeting, so it's not convenient for him to pick up my call," Gao Renxing explained,

"As you know, the Wangjiang Dock is undergoing renovation recently. There are too many things to do, so he doesn't have time to pick up my call. Let's eat slowly. When he's done, he'll call me back."

"That's normal. I usually don't answer my calls during meetings." Qian Xu said with a smile.

"Let me do it." Lin Yi said with a smile as he held his phone.

"I don't think that's a good idea. He's in a meeting, so he probably won't have time to answer your calls." Song Jia said.

Lin Yi's performance today was already very good. He gave her enough face, so she didn't want to cause any trouble.

"It's fine, I'll make a call and ask."

Li Xue Ru glanced at Lin Yi. "My boyfriend said that Manager Bi is in a meeting, and he doesn't have time to answer other people's calls. Don't waste your time."

"I have nothing to do anyway."

Gao Renxing looked at Lin Yi with disdain, cursing in his heart,

"This guy, will he really not give up until he reaches the Yellow River? I've been friends with Manager Bi for so many years, and he didn't answer my calls. How could he pick up your calls? Look at yourself!"

Lin Yi took his phone and dialed Bi Songjiang's number.

Du Du Du…

The dial tone was heard, but no one took it seriously. They thought Lin Yi would be hung up on in a few seconds.

"Chairman Lin, are you looking for me?"

Hiss…

The moment the call was picked up, everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped!

The call was actually picked up!

And the other party even called him Chairman Lin?

What was going on?

"Are you in a meeting? If you're busy, I'll call you later."

"I'm not in a meeting." Bi Songjiang said, puzzled. "I'm picking up the kids at the gate of the kindergarten. I'm not busy at all."

There wasn't a meeting?!

Li Xueru and Gao Renxing's faces were awkward, as if they were sitting on pins and needles. They felt like their butts were a little hot.

They called twice, but the other party didn't pick up. Yet, he picked up Lin Yi's call right away and even said that he wasn't busy at all.

This was too much of a slap to the face!

"Since you're not busy, why didn't you pick up when someone called you?"

"Someone called me?" Bi Songjiang paused for a second and came to a realization,

"I remember now. It was an unfamiliar number just now. I didn't recognize it, so I didn't bother with it. Could that person be a friend of Chairman Lin? I'll call back now to see what's the matter."

Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Renxing, their expressions teasing.

He had been saying that he had been good friends with Manager Bi of Wangjiang Dock for many years.

It turns out he had just been bragging.

"There's no need to do that. There's nothing much to do," Lin Yi said. "I'm planning to go out to sea later. There'll be about twenty people. Prepare a big ship."

"Got it, Boss Lin. I'll get someone to arrange it now."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Lin Yi put his phone on the table and said with a smile, "Everything's settled. Let's go over after dinner."

"Mr. Lin, I didn't know you were so close to Manager Bi at Wangjiang Dock," Qian Xu complimented.

"He's my subordinate. How could I not be close?"

"What? Subordinate?!"

"That's right, Wangjiang Dock is my business, so of course he's my subordinate," Lin Yi said. "Do you have any questions?"

Hiss…

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they learned Lin Yi's identity.

"Didn't you say that you're running a small business?"

"Wangjiang Dock isn't that big, right? I only go there when I'm free, and I usually leave it to my subordinates.

"I don't have time to take care of it…"

Everyone's eyes widened as goosebumps appeared all over their bodies!

Just how big was his business, to the point where he didn't have time to take care of it?

Song Jia stared at Lin Yi with question marks hanging over her head.

In turns out Vice-President Lin was really rich, and there was no need to pretend!

"Look at this mess." Qian Xu raised his glass and stood up with a smile, "Jiajia, it's been so long since you graduated, and you're still the same. You've always been so low-key, and you actually found such a powerful boyfriend. We won't be able to reach such heights in our lives."

"Everyone, raise your wine glasses. Let's toast to Mr. Lin," the boy named Haozi said,

"If it weren't for Mr. Lin today, we wouldn't have had the chance to go to Wangjiang Dock to play."

"That's right. With Jiajia's connections, in the future, we can get a discount if we want to go," Old Sun said.

"Sure, sure."Lin Yi said.

After learning Lin Yi's real identity, the focus of the dinner fell on him and Song Jia.

Li Xueru and Gao Renxing didn't even get a chance to interrupt. They were so angry that their teeth were itching.

They finally held a class reunion just to show off, but they didn't expect to upstaged by someone else!

About two hours later, Gao Renxing said,

"Xueru, I can't eat here anymore. Let's go."

"Yes, but don't forget to pay the bill," Li Xueru said in a low voice,

"Although her boyfriend is rich, I have to tell the others that my man is not bad either! I must not let them look down on me!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you regain your face!"

Li Xueru nodded, then coughed a few times and said,

"I think the meal is almost done, so I'll leave first."

"Xueru? What's the matter?" Qian Xu asked.

Li Xueru smiled, "You all know that my boyfriend's company is very busy. Recently, he has a few projects that are worth tens of millions of dollars, so he has to go back."

"Alright, you guys go first. We will chat with Mr. Lin for a while, and we won't hold you up."

"Uh…"

Xueru looked embarrassed. These people were too snobbish!

"Why don't we call it a day? I have other things to talk about too. Let's meet again another day." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, alright. Mr. Lin has a lot of things to deal with every day. His time is much more precious than us. Let's meet again another day. We must sit down and have a drink."

"No problem."

Lin Yi spoke, and the others no longer wanted to eat anymore. They packed their things and prepared to leave.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Xueru looked at Gao Renxing. The latter understood and said,

"Waiter!"

A few seconds later, a waitress in uniform walked in. "Sir, how can I help you?"

"How much is the bill?" Gao Renxing asked.

"It's just a meal. I don't need you to pay for it," Lin Yi said.

"How can that be? I'm the one who arranged the meal. We'll pay for it," Li Xueru said.

"Although the Peninsula Hotel is high-class, we can still afford it with our conditions."

"I don't doubt your spending ability. I just don't think it's necessary. We're all on the same side."

"It's because we're on the same side that we're treating you." Li Xueru said, "We've been classmates for so many years. It's no big deal for treat us to you all to a meal."

"Alright then. Since you insist, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"What's there to stand on ceremony for? It won't cost much."

Gao Renxing took out his bank card. "If it's not enough, just swipe the card."

"Sir, your total is 56,800 dollars."

Lin Yi looked at the waiter. "Tell the front desk to give us a 20% discount. We're all on the same side, so don't charge the usual price."

"Got it, Boss Lin," the waiter said.

"What? Boss Lin?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded again, not understanding what was going on.

"I forgot to tell you guys just now. The Peninsula Hotel is also my business. Thank you for your support."

Song Jia's head was buzzing. The Peninsula Hotel was actually Vice-President Lin's?!

What, what was going on?

There was a rich second generation hiding by her side?

How did she come across something like this?

"You… you said the Peninsula Hotel is yours too?" Xueru's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yeah, otherwise they wouldn't call me Boss Lin." Lin Yi smiled.

"You came to my business, and I didn't want you to spend your money, but I didn't expect you to give me so much face. I'll just have to do as you say."

Xueru felt her face burning.

Although she'd bought the meal herself, this hotel belonged to Song Jia's boyfriend!

Not only had she spent the money, but she'd also been slapped in the face!

How could she let him live?

Lin Yi stood up and patted Song Jia on the shoulder. "Let's go. It's time to go back."

"Oh, oh."

Song Jia's mind was blank. She still hadn't reacted.

What the hell was going on?!

Lin Yi and Song Jia left the hotel under everyone's praise.

The trip to the sea was canceled. Since Lin Yi wasn't going,what was the point of going on their own?

Li Xueru and Gao Renxing could only follow behind quietly. They had lost enough face already, and they just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

After leaving the hotel, Gao Renxing pressed the car key, and the Porsche's headlights lit up. Everyone looked on with envy.

"Xueru, this car of yours should be a Porsche Panamera, right? It should cost more than two million dollars."

"Indeed, it should be more than two million dollars, but don't be envious. Jiajia's boyfriend is so rich, so he must have something better than our car."

When everyone heard that, they found that it made sense.

"Jiajia, your boyfriend is so rich, so your car should be worth more than ten million dollars, right?" Qian Xu said with a smile.

"Huht? I drive an A6."

"A6?"

Everyone looked at Song Jia in disbelief. "No way, an A6 is only half a million dollars. With your status, driving this car is a bit cheap."

Li Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "Jiajia is still as frugal as when she was in school."

"That's true. Because she worked in school, she didn't want to be too high-profile, so she bought an Audi A6. The Koenigsegg I bought for is only occasionally taken out."

"Koenigsegg?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"That's right."

Lin Yi took out the car keys. "To be honest, it's not comfortable to drive a sports car. It's really not as luxurious as some of these brands. I'll buy a Porsche when I have time. I really don't want to drive a sports car anymore."

Chapter 232: Restarting the Old Profession

"Mr. Lin is returning to the basics after getting tired of driving sports cars. Meanwhile, we've never ridden in a supercar before," Qian Xu complimented.

"Actually, sports cars are really nothing. They're not as comfortable as their Panamera. They still know how to enjoy their travel. I can't do the same."

Li Xueru's face alternated between red and white.

She had been completely crushed today. She didn't have any face left.

Thinking of this, Xueru quickly got into her car and left with Gao Renxing. She didn't want to continue losing face.

Lin Yi and Song Jia also left the Peninsula Hotel under the praise of the others.

"Vice-President Lin, are the Peninsula Hotel and Wangjiang Dock really yours?"

In the passenger seat, Song Jia asked in disbelief.

"Can't they be mine?"

"Then why did you go to work at the school? And now you're even running errands. Is it to chance upon a romantic encounter?"

"What does running errands have to do with romantic encounters?"

"You can meet different women this way," Song Jia said. "The school is full of students, and their tastes are too monotonous."

"I can't refute your reason."

Song Jia chuckled. "Vice-President Lin, are you going to keep running errands? Don't you plan to go back to school?"

"How can that be? I might go back tomorrow."

He had already completed the job of running errands. There was no point in continuing to do it in the future. It was inevitable that he would need to go back to school.

Moreover, he had to return to school as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to complete the ultimate mission before the semester ended.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Yi asked

"Hehe, I'll tell Sister Su the good news tomorrow, then." Song Jia said

Lin Yi smiled without saying anything. He sent Song Jia Home and drove the Koenigsegg away.

When he returned home, he found that Wang Ying was already back.

Wang Ying was wearing a black swimsuit and sitting by the pool, enjoying herself.

"Yi, have you eaten? I'll go cook for you," Wang Ying said.

"I've eaten outside. Don't worry."

"Okay."

Wang Ying wrapped herself in a towel and went back to the villa along with Lin Yi.

"The house has been sold and the new house is ready. I'll be leaving in a few days."

Although she knew Lin Yi very well, Wang Ying didn't want to stay here any longer. She didn't want to trouble Lin Yi.

"What's the rush? Did I chase you away?" Lin Yi said. "Plus, I have someone to cook for me here. Just stay here."

"If you want to eat my food, I'll cook for you every day at my place. As long as you don't dislike it."

"I might dislike it." Lin Yi said casually. "By the way, where is your new house? Did you have enough money?"

"The house from our company is cheap when bought internally, and it's well-decorated. You can just bring your bag and move right in," Wang Ying said.

"I paid the 50% down payment, and the rest of the loan is going to be paid off slowly. There's no pressure at all, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Alright then. If there's anything you can't handle, remember to tell me." Lin Yi said.

"I'm happy that you said that.."

Wang Ying stood on her tiptoes and kissed Lin Yi on the cheek. "Hurry up and take President Ji down. I can't wait anymore."

He patted Wang Ying's butt. "You're not going to squeeze me dry, are you?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Wang Ying's eyes were like silk as she walked back to her room, making Lin Yi's heart skip a beat.

After washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Yi opened the system page and said in his heart,

"System, restart the teaching profession."

[ Cooling down of the teaching profession is complete. ]

[ Do you want to restart? ]

"Restart!"

[ The classroom profession is open. ]

[ System mission, complete the teaching plan for 20 class hours, reward 300,000 experience points! (1/20) ]

Lin Yi recalled the mission progress on the board. He'd read a section called "Career planning for college students" before, and it was included in the mission. As long as he completed the 19-hour teaching plan, the final mission would be completed.

However, he had to talk to Zhao Qi tomorrow and arrange to teach subjects with a large amount of class time himself so that he could complete the mission before the semester ended.

The next morning, Wang Ying graciously made breakfast and went out together after eating.

However, Lin Yi still drove the shabby Shari and didn't change to a sports car.

In a place like school, driving a supercar was too eye-catching. In front of the students, it was better to keep a low profile.

At the intersection, the green light turned yellow. Lin Yi parked his car and was about to call Zhao Qi.

He needed to inform the man in advance so that the latter wouldn't be busy running around.

Bang!

Just as he picked up his phone, he heard a bang. His car was pushed forward by more than half a meter.

"How could you rear-end me like this?"

He opened the door and got out. He found out that the car that rear-ended him was a Buick Regal.

Because the Shari had been modified, it wasn't damaged much. The only damage was that the rear bumper was a little dented and the paint was chipped, so it didn't affect the normal functions.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Before Lin Yi could say anything, the owner of the Junwei car came down and scolded.

"You're the one who hit me. How dare you complain to me?"

"It was a yellow light just now. Why did you stop? Don't you know that I have an emergency?!" The owner of the Junwei car scolded,

"Can you take responsibility for delaying my matter?!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to die?"

"F*ckk, you're pretty good at driving a stupid car," the owner scolded. "Take this 200 dollars and repair the car. I'll give you the rest of the money as a reward."

The owner threw the money down and got into the car without looking back. He cursed as he walked, "I really f*cking forgot to look at the almanac when I went out. I'm so impressed!"

Lin Yi was speechless as he watched the driver leave. He memorized the license plate and decided to deal with it when he had the time.

"Clothes make the man, and horses make the saddle. The Shari's status is still a bit lacking. I'll have to drive out the Lykan next time. If I rear-end him, I'll scare the shit out of him," Lin Yi thought to himself.

Seeing that the car was fine, Lin Yi didn't dwell on it. He was going to go to school first to get his matters handled.

Back in the car, Lin Yi called Zhao Qi.

"Mister Lin, it wasn't easy waiting for your call. Is there something you need me for?" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"It's nothing much. I just want to go back to school for a few days. I'm wondering if you can arrange a position for me."

"No problem. If you come back, you can choose any position in the school," Zhao Qi said excitedly.

"Okay, I'm just giving you a heads up so that you can be mentally prepared," Lin Yi said. "I'm on my way, I'll be at school in half an hour."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll wait for you at school."

"Okay."

After giving a few instructions, Lin Yi hung up the phone and drove towards the university.

He found a parking spot and just as he parked his car, he saw a large group of girls surrounding him.

"Teacher Lin, where have you been all this time? We've been waiting for you," a girl in a long dress said.

"Waiting for me?" Lin Yi was confused. "I can't handle so many of you."

Report chapter

All the girls present started laughing, not caring about their image.

"Aiya, what we mean is we want to go to your 'University career planning' class, not what you're thinking. You're in a Shari, so you can't drive fast enough to escape us."

"Just wait, my class will be back soon." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Really? That's great, we'll definitely support you."

"But let's make it clear first, you have to line up. Only four people can come at a time, otherwise my body won't be able to take it."

"Okay."

After getting rid of the girls around him, Lin Yi walked toward the main building.

"Why is this guy back again?"

Behind the crowd, a muscular boy said.

He was nearly two meters tall and weighed at least 200 pounds. Standing there, he looked like a small mountain.

Just as his name suggested, the boy who spoke was Fu Qingshan, the center of the basketball team of the university.

He was tall and strong, and his footsteps were agile. He was a player that struck fear in all of Zhonghai City.

"Exactly. Isn't he just handsome? Why are all the girls in the school surrounding him? This is ridiculous."

The guy's name was Jiang Yajun, and he was the main point guard of the university team.

In the past, the boys on the basketball team were the most popular subject among the girls, but ever since this Lin Yi guy came to school, the popularity of the basketball team had plummeted.

The school forum was filled with his discussion posts, and there was no place for the basketball team anymore.

"Why are you talking to these girls? They're all shallow people."

The man who spoke was standing between Fu Qingshan and Jiang Yajun. His name was Zheng Jiarui.

He was very tall and was over 190 cm. He was the main forward of the university. In terms of fame, he was even more popular than Fu Qingshan.

In addition to his extremely good looks, he was a star player in the university. Thus, he was very popular with the girls.

However, after Lin Yi came to the school, his popularity had dropped drastically. He was no longer the Prince Charming in the hearts of the girls.

"We don't mind. You're the one who's affected the most," said Jiang Yajun.

"Let me tell you, it's useless to be good-looking if you don't have any other strong points. Everyone has mysterious fatigue. It Won't be long before the girls won't bother with him anymore. Don't worry," said Zheng Jiarui.

"Besides, he's just a member of the school committee. His monthly salary isn't even enough for me to buy a pair of sneakers. The girls with a little bit of awareness won't bother with him, so you guys should remain calm."

"You're right."

Zheng Jiarui patted their shoulders. "Hurry up and go to the training hall. The coach will be angry again soon."

At the entrance of the main building, Zhao Qi and his secretary, Zhou Genzhe, were waiting, ready to welcome Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi left, Zhao Qi was depressed for quite a while.

Now that he was back, the impact on the school wasn't as simple as some hot gossip.

"Principal Zhao, since Teacher Lin is back this time, what kind of position should we arrange for him?" Zhou Genzhe asked,

"Do we still want him to go to the school committee?"

"I don't think that's a problem. Let's see what Teacher Lin has in mind first before we prepare a position.

"It's mainly because Teacher Lin is a person that we can't figure out. It's fine if it's an elective course, but what if he wants to teach the main course? If he doesn't have some professional knowledge, he really won't be able to handle it."

"I don't think so," Zhao Qi said,

"I've talked to him a few times. Lin Yi is a person who knows his limits. He won't do anything out of line. But then again, even if he brings up something difficult, we have to try our best to satisfy him. His contributions to the college aren't something that can be explained in just a few words."

"That's true."

The two exchanged a few words and looked into the distance. They happened to see a person rushing over, but it wasn't Lin Yi.

"Hello, Principal Zhao. I didn't expect you to be here. I'm flattered."

Zhao Qi and Zhou Genzhe froze when they saw the person standing in front of them. They didn't know who that person was.

"You are?"

"Principal Zhao, let me introduce myself first. My name is Meng Guangqiang. I'm a newly-hired inorganic chemistry teacher. The HR department has already completed the procedures and said that I still need to report to you, so I came here."

Meng Guangqiang said politely, "But there was a small incident on the way and it took some time, so I hope you don't mind."

"I remember now. The HR department told me about this yesterday. If I remember correctly, your current title should be associate professor, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I was just promoted to associate professor last year."

"Oh?" Meng Guangqiang was overjoyed. He had already completed the entry procedures and came here today to have a simple chat. He didn't expect the president to personally come out to greet him.

It seemed like he valued him a lot.

If that was the case, it would be easier for him to negotiate his other conditions.

Just then, Lin Yi walked over from the side path and found Zhao Qi and Zhou Genzhe standing there.

Howeverm before Lin Yi could greet them, he heard a cry of surprise.

"It's you!"

Lin Yi was a little surprised to see the man speaking.

Wasn't this the Buick owner who had rear-ended him at the intersection?

Zhao Qi was stunned at Meng Guangqiang's words.

"You two know each other?"

"Principal Zhao, it's like this. He braked at the intersection, causing my car to rear-end him. It took quite a bit of time, or else I would've arrived a long time ago."

Lin Yi pointed at Meng Guangqiang and asked Zhao Qi,

"Who's this guy?"

"You don't deserve to know who I am. Let me tell you…"

"How dare you!"

Zhao Qi ordered, "Meng Guangqiang, just tell me if you don't want to work here anymore. I'll send you to the HR department right now!"

Meng Guangqiang was stunned for a while.

"Principal Zhao, what are you talking about? This matter is between us. Why do you want to fire me?"

"Do you know who the person standing in front of you is?!"

"Isn't he just a penniless guy who drives a Shari? He's miles away from me."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Qi snorted,

"Let me tell you, the person standing in front of you is the vice-principal of the university, Lin Yi! You said he was a penniless guy who drives a Shari, but who do you think you are?!"

"What did you say, Principal Zhao? He's the vice-principal of the university?"

Meng Guangqiang's eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost fell out!

How could this guy be named vice-principal at such a young age?

"Principal Zhao, this is a misunderstanding," Meng Guangqiang explained,

"Besides, you've personally come to welcome me, so you probably value me very much. If the university loses me, it'll be your loss too."

"I'm welcoming you?" Zhao Qi looked at Meng Guangqiang as if he was looking at a fool.

"Your title is an associate professor, so what right do you have for me to come out personally to welcome you? The reason I'm standing here is to welcome Vice-Principal Lin. It has nothing to do with you!"

Chapter 234: "I'm Not Instant Noodles."

Meng Guangqiang stood rooted to the ground with an awkward expression on his face. He wished he could find a hole to hide in at that moment.

This matter had nothing to do with him.

"You should leave now. The temple of our university is too small. It can't accommodate a Buddha like you."

Since the matter had come to this point, Meng Guangqiang did not have the face to stay here. He lowered his head and left dejectedly.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. I didn't know this would happen."

"It's nothing. Don't take it to heart." Lin Yi said, waving his hand.

"Let's talk about you two. Why are you welcoming me? It wouldn't be good if the students saw it."

"The main thing is that I'm too excited for you to be back in school, Mr. Lin."

"Stop joking with me. Let's go back to the office first. We have something important to talk about."

"Mr. Lin, please come in."

The three of them went to Zhao Qi's office and Lin Yi sat down on the sofa.

"Actually, it's not that big of a deal for me to come back. I just want you to prepare a position for me."

"Is the position of school's youth league committee director okay? I'll ask Sugar to step down and be your assistant. Not only will you have free time, but you'll also get paid."

"You misunderstood me. What I want to be is a teacher who can teach."

"A teacher?"

Zhao Qi said awkwardly,

"Teacher Lin, if this were my institution, I could give you the green light no matter what the conditions were. But you also know that if you want to be a teacher, you have to have a certain level of certification. You can't do it just because you want to."

"Then are there any classes that don't require a high level of certification?"

"If that's the case, then I can only offer the physical education classes," Zhao Qi said.

"Alright, then arrange some physical education classes for me. It doesn't matter if you schedule more, I can handle it."

To Lin Yi, having a class was the most important thing. He didn't care about anything else.

"Mr. Lin, I can give you a green light, considering your contributions to the school," Zhao Qi said.

"The other teachers only teach one class. I'll let you take two. That way, you'll have more class time, and it'll be good for your future job prospects. As for which two classes you want to take, you can choose them yourself. I'll arrange them for you later."

"Show me your class schedule."

Physical education classes were all optional, and there were all kinds of them classes available. Now, Lin Yi was going to take two classes so that he could have more class time.

"Wait a minute, Vice-Principal Lin. I'll go get ready now." Zhou Genzhe said.

Within a few minutes, Zhou Genzhe took out the class schedule.

Lin Yi glanced at it, and his eyes locked onto the basketball and taekwondo classes.

Basketball and taekwondo were popular subjects in the university, and there were more sessions for them, so choosing these two classes was just perfect.

Apart from that, there were also some classes in swimming and aerobics.

However, most of these classes were for girls, so Lin Yi filtered them out.

"Alright, I'll go make the arrangements now." Zhao Qi looked at the class schedule. "There's a basketball class in the afternoon, so Teacher Lin can start immediately."

"It's settled then."

"Principal Lin, do you have any requirements for the location of the office? Should we set you to join the school committee or the Physical Education Research Group?"

"Let's go to the school committee. After all, I've worked there before, so I'm familiar with everyone there. It'll be natural for us to get along."

"Alright, I'll send you there now."

"No need, go do your own thing. You're not outsiders, so there's no need to be so polite."

Lin Yi stood up and walked towards the school committee.

School committee, Sugar's office.

"Sis Su, so you knew Director Lin was a rich second generation?"

"I only found out the morning he resigned," Sugar said as he changed his clothes.

"The Koenigsegg he drove that day wasn't Qin Han's, it was his own."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? If I knew, I would have gone to Director Lin for help." Song Jia said with a smile.

"You don't know. During dinner yesterday, Director Lin showed off his power and killed all my classmates who liked to flaunt their wealth. It was amazing."

"With the level of your classmates, Lin Yi could have just brought one of his spare tyres and it would have been enough." Sugar said with a smile.

"I have another big piece of news to tell you," Song Jia said mysteriously.

"I talked to Director Lin yesterday. He said that he might return to school soon."

"How is that possible? Don't listen to his lies," Sugar said.

"He's just having fun in school. To put it bluntly, he's just experiencing life. Now that he's experienced it, what's the point of coming back? To pick up girls?"

"How is that possible?" Song Jia said with a smile. "The level of female students is so low that even Director Lin disdains it. If he wants to pick up girls, he would pick you up."

"What do you mean by picking me up? I'm not instant noodles."

Song Jia swept her gaze over Sugar's body. "Maybe it's because the milk flavor is stronger."

"The milk flavor is stronger?"

Sugar was stunned for a moment before she understood what Song Jia meant. Thus, she said with a straight face,

"You don't want your bonus this month, do you?"

"Hehehe, Sister Su is angry," Song Jia saidm

"But he told me this yesterday, and he looked very serious. I don't think he lied to me."

"That's impossible. Just give up on this idea."

"Then how about we make a bet?"

"Let's make a bet. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Let's make a bet with a box of Mrs. oral liquid. Whoever loses will have to drink a box."

"There's no point in betting one box. Whoever loses will drink the whole carton," Suger said.

Sugar had only managed to drink one box of Mrs. Lin's oral liquid Lin Yi had bought for her back then. There was still one box left in the office.

"It's settled then. I'll call Director Lin now."

Song Jia took out her phone and was about to call Lin Yi to verify the matter.

However, at that moment, she suddenly heard a scream from outside.

"Director Lin, you're back."

The two looked at each other when they heard Li Xingbang's words.

Sugar quickly buttoned up her shirt and rushed out.

He found Lin Yi standing right in front of her!

"You, why are you back?"

"Can I not come back yet?"

"I didn't mean that, but, but…"

"What's there to be surprised about? Is it weird to see me?"

Song Jia chuckled. "Director Lin, it's like this. Sister Su said that if you can came back to work, she'd drink the remaining box of Mrs. oral liquid."

"I was wondering why you looked better. So you drank a box. Not bad, not bad. Keep it up."

Sugar was on the verge of tears.

Did God send you here to play with me?

"Have a seat, Director Lin. Don't stand there." Xingbang pulled a chair over. "The office became a lot less fun without you. Now that you're back, the school committee will be interesting again."

Lin Yi's heart warmed. "There's something I need to tell you guys. I came back this time to borrow the committee's office, but I'm not working in the school committee anymore."

"Could it be that Director Lin has other things to do?" Li Xingbang asked.

"I applied to teach two classes. I'm in charge of the school's basketball and taekwondo classes until the end of the semester." Lin Yi said.

"No way, Director Lin. You're going to be a physical education teacher?" Song Jia said in surprise.

"Don't you believe in my standards?" Lin Yi asked.

"The main thing is that the students taking these two classes are all boys. I'm really afraid that you won't be able to handle them," Song Jia said.

"You're so handsome. You should teach swimming and aerobics classes. When you're in class, those girls will definitely be obedient so it won't be difficult to teach them."

"What you said makes sense, but I'm afraid that my kidneys won't be able to take it. My life is more important."
