Chapter 11: I'm the Only One at Home
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Of-of course you can, I just didn't think of it."
Jiangdong smiled awkwardly.
"There's a lot of things you didn't think of, but you'll learn of them later."
Lin Yi ignored Jiangdong and smiled at the lobby manager.
"I'm really sorry, I'll go downstairs and move the car now."
"Okay, okay, I'll have to trouble you."
Lin Yi and the lobby manager went downstairs as the others looked at each other. Then, they got up quickly, wanting to go downstairs and see what was going on.
They went downstairs and found a lot of people gathered in front of the car to take photos.
Lin Yi walked over, and the crowd automatically dispersed. Their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
"My God, he's so handsome and so rich. This is too unreasonable!"
"He must have given God a present when he was reincarnated."
1
Lin Yi didn't care about the comments from the people around him. He moved the car and stuck his head out of the window.
"You guys can continue eating. I have something to do."
"Since the main character has left, I won't be eating either." Wang Ying said. "I'm leaving too."
"Sister Ying is going home?"

"Yes."
"Then I'll send you home. I have nothing to do."
2
"Thank you, Yi."
The two had been very close when they were at the company.
Now that Lin Yi was driving a supercar, she naturally wanted to see what it felt like.
They got into Lin Yi's car and left under everyone's watchful eyes.
"Yi, I didn't know you were the second generation of a rich family. It's so hard to live an incognito life."
Wang Ying took photos as she spoke.
It was her first time riding a supercar, so she had to take a few photos as a memento.
"Money is just a worldly possession. Experiencing life is the most important thing."
2
"I remember now. Aren't you an orphan? Where did you get so much money?"
"Uh, inheritance."
5
"I see." Wang Ying nodded.
"But you just said that you drive for Didi now. Is that true?" Wang Ying couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true."
Lin Yi took out his phone. "My registration information is all there. Sister Ying, do you want to place an order to support me?"
With their relationship, Lin Yi would never accept Wang Ying's money.
However, the system's mission was for him to pick up two beauties with 85 points or more.
Although Wang Ying was a little old, her charm didn't decrease. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been named the number one beauty of Chaoyang Group.
2
If Wang Ying placed the order, it would not be difficult for him to complete the mission.
"Since you've already said that, so if I don't place the order, I'll be taking advantage of you." Wang Ying said as she held her phone.
"Don't worry, Sis is placing the order now. Watch out, lest someone else takes it away."
"No problem, I'm watching."
Soon, a notification appeared on the phone. Wang Ying placed the order successfully, and Lin Yi accepted the order immediately.
However, there was no notification at all.
What was going on?
Could it be that Wang Ying wasn't a beauty with an 85 or higher score?
She was only 29, so it was better for her to get married earlier!
[Scan completed. The passenger's overall score is 84, not meeting the requirements of the mission!]
2
Lin Yi was speechless!
Was the system not being a little too strict? Could it not give him an extra point?
Where was he going to meet so many high-scoring beauties?!
"Yi, why are you still in a daze?" Wang Ying asked.
"Ying Jie, I want to ask you something." Lin Yi asked as he drove.
1
"What is it?"
"What do you think you can do to increase a woman's charm?"
The system had already said that Wang Ying's overall score was only 84 points. It must have considered many aspects before giving her the score.
That was why it was possible to increase one's charm through other means.
However, Lin Yi didn't know if this little hack would succeed, so he could only give it a try.
"Increase a woman's charm?" Wang Ying was a little puzzled. What kind of strange question was that?
"I'm just asking. If Sister Ying doesn't know, then forget it."
"The so-called increase in charm is to make yourself more attractive. This is a compulsory course for every woman," Wang Ying said.
"How do you improve it?"
Lin Yi was curious to see how confident Wang Ying was.
"Don't worry," Wang Ying said with a smile. She opened her bag and took out two pairs of unopened silk stockings.
One pair was flesh-colored, and the other pair was black.
"Tell me, which one do you think is good-looking?"
"Ahem, ahem, Sister Ying, I don't think it's appropriate to ask me such a question."
"What's there to be afraid of? There's only the two of us in the car." Wang Ying smiled and said, "Choose one."
"Uh… The black ones are better."
"Okay, wait."
As she said that, Wang Ying opened the black silk stockings and slowly put them on her legs.
What made people unable to control themselves the most was that during the process of putting them on, Wang Ying unintentionally lifted her skirt, revealing her black leggings. This really made people's thoughts wander.
1
"How is it? Doesn't it feel different?"
"It really does feel different."
After putting on the black silk stockings, it almost appeared like her legs had grown quite a bit, and she became even more attractive.
"System, scan again and see what Wang Ying's overall score is."
A second later, the system's real voice sounded.
[scan completed. The passenger's overall score is 85, meeting the requirements of the mission!]
8
[Ding, mission completed. Reward: 100,000 experience points, job completion rate: 15%. Reward: one villa in Jiuzhou Pavilion. (Get it from the sales manager!)]
2
"F*ck!"
The name Jiuzhou Pavilion was well-known in Zhong Hai City.
Ever since it was being built, it was considered to be a top-tier mansion. When it was completed, it became the number one mansion in Zhong Hai City just as expected!
Even the richest people on the list would be intimidated by Jiuzhou Pavilion.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but in their eyes, it wasn't worth it to spend hundreds of millions on such an expensive house.
To put it bluntly, they were not rich enough.
Lin Yi could not help but feel excited.
He wanted to buy a house, but the system's reward came right after.
He had to finish this order quickly and check it out later.
Wang Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard Lin Yi swear.
Did he have such a big reaction when he saw her wearing black silk?
This thing really had a fatal attraction!
"Little Yi, focus on driving. We'll talk when we get home," Wang Ying reminded shyly.
"No problem." Lin Yi smiled. "Thank you for your support, Sister Ying. Remember to give a five-star review."
"That depends on your service." Wang Ying said with a smile. She was a beautiful young woman.
At first, Wang Ying had bad thoughts about Lin Yi, but now, her bad thoughts were even stronger.
4
Soon, Lin Yi sent Wang Ying home according to the address on his phone and completed his third order.
"Do you want to go up and sit for a while?"
"No thanks, I'm sorry to bother you," Lin Yi said politely.
"What do you mean bother? My husband is on a business trip and I'm the only one at home," Wang Ying pretended to be calm.

"I can't do it today," Lin Yi said.
"I have to go on a business trip. I'll drop by on another day."
"My husband will be back from his business trip in a few days. You won't dare to come then."
"It's fine. I'll visit the next time he's on a business trip."
1
"Damn it."
1
Lin Yi drove off after saying goodbye.
He looked at the time and realized that it was already past seven.
However, Lin Yi had been in sales before, so he knew the rules.
The sales center had a shift system.
During the day, everyone was on standby, and at night, a small portion of the sales team would be left behind until eight o'clock at night.
If he drove fast, he would still make it in time.
After about thirty minutes, Lin Yi arrived at the Jiuzhou Pavilion area.
Like its namesake, there were a total of nine villas in the Jiuzhou Pavilion (TL Note: Jiuzhou translates to Nine Region Pavilion in Chinese.) Each of them faced the river and looked at the sea, appearing magnificent and magnificent.
However, depending on the size, style, and location, the prices of each unit were different.
Even so, the difference in price wasn't big, so any one of them could be regarded as the king of buildings in Zhong Hai!
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
Sitting in the car and looking at the view of the Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi was very satisfied. He would have a place here in the future.
Despite this, he didn't know which building the system had give him.
After enjoying the scenery outside, Lin Yi parked the car and pushed the door open before walking into the sales hall.
Seeing a guest enter, the saleswoman glanced at Lin Yi and her expression changed.
"What are you doing here?!"
Lin Yi was a little surprised to see the person who spoke.
The saleswoman's name was Mengyu. She was Lin Yi's former colleague.
Back in the company, she had pursued Lin Yi crazily. After being rejected sternly, she became the laughingstock of the company and left in anger.
"I want to look for your manager." Lin Yi said with a smile.
This world was too small for him to actually meet her here.
1
"Hehe, our manager has to meet a big client in a while. He doesn't have time to deal with you." Mengyu said.
"But you, what are you doing here? Did you get fired and come here to apply for a job?"
"I got fired today and you already know about it?"
Lin Yi was a little puzzled. Why would she say that so quickly?
"You really got fired?"
Mengyu was just gloating a bit, but she actually hit the nail on the head?
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded with a smile. "Just help me get your manager please."
"We'll talk about it when I have time." Mengyu said indifferently.
"And let me remind you, don't expect me to put in a good word for you. When you think about our job application, it's all about strength. Don't think that just because you're handsome, you have an advantage."
1
Lin Yi rubbed his chin. He had just rejected her, so was there a need for all this drama?
3
"Let me explain first. Although I've been fired, I'm not here to apply for a job."
"Then what are you here for?" Mengyu crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression arrogant.
"Don't tell me you're here to buy a house." Mengyu said.
Lin Yi nodded. "I'm really here to buy a house. That's why I'm looking for your manager."
"Lin Yi, stop messing around. We've been colleagues for a few months. Do you think I don't know your situation?" Mengyu said disdainfully.
"You live in an old neighborhood, and you own a shabby Shari. Yet, you say you want to buy a house in the Jiuzhou Pavilion? Can you stop fooling around? Any one of them is worth more than 800 million. What can you afford? You can't even afford a toilet if I were to try to sell it to you." Mengyu said.
"Forget it if you don't believe me. I'll talk to your manager later." Lin Yi sighed.
"Haha, do you think our manager works for free? How would he have time to receive you?" Mengyu rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are?!"
At that moment, the sound of high heels could be heard. A woman in a grey work dress was walking toward Lin Yi.
"Manager Wang." Mengyu said politely when she saw the woman in the uniform.
"Go Away! I'll deal with you later!"
Mengyu was stunned after being scolded for no reason.
She didn't do anything, so why was she being scolded?
After scolding Mengyu, the female manager changed her expression and smiled at Lin Yi.
"You must be Mr. Lin Yi. Let me introduce myself. I'm Wang Hui, the sales manager of Jiuzhou Pavilion. I went to the washroom and couldn't come out to greet you personally. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, you don't have to be so formal."
"Should I show you the rooms first? Or should I give you an introduction to the situation here?"
"First…"
Mengyu interrupted before Lin Yi could finish.
"Manager Wang, you don't have to waste your time on him. He's my former colleague, and he was fired today. He's an orphan, and he can't afford a villa in Jiuzhou Pavilion. It's a waste of time to show him around a house." Mengyu said.
1
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Wang Hui glared at Lin Yi.
1
"Go report to the personnel department. You are to stop working here!"
Mengyu was even more confused. She didn't do anything, and she only said a few words of truth out of kindness. Why did she suddenly get fired?
1
"Wang… Manager Wang, I'm not talking nonsense. I really know him. I know his situation."
"Know my *ss!"
Wang Hui couldn't help but swear. "Mr. Lin bought all the villas in the Jiuzhou Pavilion in one go. You say he's your colleague? Do you think you're worthy of holding that title!"
"Bought all the villas?!"
Mengyu stared at Lin Yi as if he was an alien.
She hadn't even left her job for a month, so how did he become rich?
Even if he won the first prize in the lottery, he wouldn't be that rich, right?
Lin Yi was a little stunned as well.
It turns out it wasn't just one villa, but nine whole villas!
2
In other words, he would be the owner of Jiuzhou Pavilion from now on, and this place would become his private territory!
4
"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. I didn't manage my staff properly and gave you a bad experience in buying a house. It's my fault."
"It's okay," Lin Yi said generously.
"Now that Jiuzhou Pavilion is my property, I should wrap up the registration procedures. Can you give me the keys?"
"It's all ready. Please wait a moment."
Wang Hui jogged away as she spoke. When she returned, she had nine documents in her hands.
"Mr. Lin, these are all the property rights and the keys to the nine villas. Please keep them well."
The nine documents in her hands carried a lot of weight.
It turned out that having too many houses was also a problem.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first," Lin Yi said politely.
"Congratulation, Mr. Lin."
"Don't worry, you guys are pretty busy too, so you can go back to your own matters." Lin Yi said
Wang Hui walked out anyway, and Mengyu followed behind.
Mengyu was in a bad mood when she saw Lin Yi put all nine documents into his Pagani sports car!
This was a super car!
Why did she try to scold a super rich man?
1
Lin Yi drove back to the Peninsula Hotel and prepared to stay there for the night. He was going to pack up his things and move into the Jiuzhou Pavilion the next day.
Just then, Lin Yi's phone rang. It was Wang Ying.
"Little Yi, did you know? I heard through the grapevine that the old witch and Li Jiangdong were fired!"
2
Chapter 13: How Dare You Threaten Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yi was surprised by Wang Ying's words.
Why were they fired?
Was this not a little too sudden?
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I have a friend in the personnel department. She told me the news."
"This kind of news usually doesn't come out of nowhere. The two of them might really have been fired," Lin Yi said.
"Lin Yi, this is too strange."
Wang Ying said, "You just got fired. Both Li Jiangdong and the old witch who used to bully you were fired at the same time. Could this have something to do with you?"
"How is that possible?" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't have that kind of connections. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been fired."
"You're right."
After a short conversation, Lin Yi hung up and sent a WeChat message to Ji Qingyan.
Lin Yi: "You fired Yu Lili and Li Jiangdong?"
Ji Qingyan, "You knew about it? I looked into it and found some problems with them, so I fired them. I'll take it as venting your anger for you."
Lin Yi smiled when he got an affirmative reply. Ji Qingyan was pretty fast.
"Is there anyone suitable for the position of sales director?" Lin Yi asked
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
"Not at the moment. I can leave it with you if you come back."
"Not interested. I think Wang Ying from the sales department is pretty good. You can take a look at her."
"No problem."
"My car hasn't been fixed yet. Come pick me up tomorrow."
Lin Yi, "Didi Driver, at your service."
1
He could pick her up, but she had to pay for it.
After this, Lin Yi took a comfortable bath and slept until dawn.
He drove to Yunshui Villa, and when the security guard saw Lin Yi's Pagani at the door, he opened the door without saying a word.
Who would dare to stop a man who could conquer President Ji?
"You're here so early."
Ji Qingyan, who was washing up in the bathroom, said in surprise.
"I used to work at six in the morning. It's a habit."
"Give me a moment, I'll be done soon."
"It's okay, there's no rush."
Ji Qingyan's movements were very fast. In about thirty minutes, she finished washing up and putting on her makeup.
4
"Lin Yi, help me take a look. What do you think of that dress?"
Ji Qingyan stood on the second floor, holding a one-piece dress in her left hand and a floral dress in her right.
"I think I'll go with that one. It looks pretty good."
"Sure, I'll wear this today."
A few minutes later, Ji Qingyan walked down the stairs. Only a tall woman like Ji Qingyan could wear a dress like this.
Although it was a very ladylike dress, she gave off a regal vibe when wearing it.
3
This was interesting.
After putting on the high heels, the two got into the car together and Lin Yi took out his phone.
"Boss Ji, please place the order."
"Don't worry, I won't forget about it." Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi and thought to herself, "You really don't know how to flirt."
Soon, Lin Yi's phone received the order from Qingyan, and he grabbed it immediately.
[System mission: five five-star rating, reward 200,000 experience points (3/5)]
Looking at the numbers in parentheses, Lin Yi guessed that this should be his current mission completion rate.
That was because he had completed three orders since yesterday.
Two of them were from Ji Qingyan, and the other one was from Wang Ying. They were all from the same team, and they all gave five-star reviews.
The fourth one would be from Ji Qingyan, and the next five-star review was all but guaranteed. Victory was beckoning to him!
Stepping on the accelerator, Lin Yi drove the car to the company's underground garage along with Ji Qingyan.
"President Ji, don't forget to give me a five-star review."
"It'll depend on my mood."
After unlocking the safety button, Ji Qingyan got out of the car and saw a white Sagitar parked not far away.
"President Ji, Lin Yi?"
The person who spoke was Wang Ying. She was riding in the car of another female colleague. She didn't expect to meet the President and Lin Yi together.
"As you know, I'm a Didi Driver and coincidentally met President Ji who was calling for a taxi." Lin Yi explained.
The two colleagues did not believe him.
He had obviously taken the president away, and he even tried to explain it as him being a Didi driver. Who would believe that!
Only then did Wang Ying realize that the reason why Yu Lili and Li Jiangdong were fired was because of Lin Yi!
He and the president had been having an affair, and they were actually bullying him. It would be weird if they weren't fired!
5
At that moment, the elevator door of the underground garage opened, and Yu Lili and Li Jiangdong walked out with a cardboard box in their hands.
They were obviously here to pack their things.
Seeing Lin Yi and the president here, their expressions were as awkward humanly possible be before they left dejectedly.
"It's almost time for work, let's go up together."
Facing Wang Ying and the others, Ji Qingyan returned to her cold and aloof image, unlike when she was with Lin Yi.
"Got it, President."
Wang Ying and another colleague greeted Lin Yi before heading upstairs with Ji Qingyan.
Lin Yi sat in the car and was about to take a stroll around the mall.
He already had a house, so he had to go buy some daily necessities. He'd been wearing these clothes for two days already, and it would start to rot if he wore them any longer.
3
Lin Yi was about to drive away when he received a WeChat message from Ji Qingyan.
Ji Qingyan, "Do you want a five-star review?"
Lin Yi, "Of course."
Ji Qingyan: "I still owe you eight s-squats which I will trade you for a five-star review. Otherwise, I'll give you a bad review."
Lin Yi, "I don't want a five-star review. Eight s-squats, not a single one less."
4
Lin Yi didn't care about the s-squats, but a little woman like you was threatening him?
That was not acceptable.
Ji Qingyan, "Pervert."
Not long after, a five-star review notification appeared on the app.
It had to be from Ji Qingyan.
Lin Yi smiled. "You sure have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
He glanced at the system mission. It was already four-fifths complete, so Lin Yi decided to buy clothes later.
He wanted to take on another order and complete the mission before going to the mall. It would not take long anyway.
He opened the app, where the newest order would automatically be displayed. Thus, Lin Yi grabbed a random order.
The pickup point was at the nearby Tianyi Homestead. It wasn't too far, only a few minutes away.
1
..
Tianyi Homestead, Building 4, Unit 1, Room 1302.
The house was about 60 square meters, and it was a standard two-bedroom, one-living room house fit for a family of three.
"Dad, why are you bringing me to your colleagues' party? I don't want to go."
The person who spoke was a young woman, about 25 or 26 years old. She had a good-looking oval face and long hair that fell over her shoulders. She was very attractive.
5
The girl's name was Xia Xinyu. She was an outdoor streamer and was somewhat famous on the platform.
1
"No, you have to come with us," Xia Hongyuan, Xia Xinyu's father, said.
"I know what you're thinking. You just want to introduce me to someone."
"Aren't we doing this for your own good? You're not young anymore. You don't even have a boyfriend. I'm worried sick about you."
"When I was young, didn't you always say that you wanted me to be by your side for the rest of my life?" Xia Xinyu said, "Why are you in such a hurry to marry me off now?"
"I was just speaking freely at the time. Who would have expected you to be so obedient?"
4
Xia Xinyu was speechless.
Chapter 14: My Car is a two-seater
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Anyway, I've already told my colleagues that you would go with me. That young man is not bad. He works in a public institution and has some money. You two are suitable to be together," Xia Hongyuan said.
"I already have a boyfriend. I don't need you to introduce me," Xia Xinyu said.
"You have a boyfriend?" Xia Hongyuan asked in surprise.
"Where did you find a boyfriend?"
"Where else could I get a boyfriend? I found one myself," Xia Xinyu said. "Do you think I dug him out from the ground?"
1
The old couple was abnormally excited when they found out that their daughter had a boyfriend.
"Then what are you waiting for? Ask the family to take a look. We'll check him out for you."
"Ah? You want our family to take a look?"
Xia Xinyu was at a loss for words. She had just said it casually. Why did these guys take it so seriously?
"That's right. Since you have a boyfriend, we naturally have to see who he is. We can't just casually hand you over, right?"
1
"Forget about meeting him. He's also quite busy with work. We'll talk about it another day."
Xia Xinyu stood up. "I still have something to do in a while, so I'll be leaving first."
"Stop!"
Xia Hongyuan said, "I think you're trying to trick me."
"No, I really have a boyfriend. Don't even think about introducing me to someone else."
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
"I've raised you for more than 20 years. Don't you think I know what you're like?" Xia Hongyuan said.
"If you don't bring your boyfriend here today, you must obediently follow me to the party. You can choose your fate."
"Alright, I'll make a call and ask him then."
Back in the house, Xia Xinyu was running around like a headless chicken.
It had been so many years, and she did not have many friends of the opposite sex. Where could she find someone to pretend to be with her!
Huh?
Suddenly, Xia Xinyu's eyes lit up and she muttered to herself, 'How about finding a delivery boy to pretend to be with her?'
However, very quickly, Xia Xinyu dismissed these thoughts.
A delivery boy was definitely not allowed. If he did not dress appropriately, her parents would not believe her. It would be too easy for her to be exposed.
"A Didi driver seems to be pretty good option," Xia Xinyu thought.
3
At the very least, he would have a car and would have some form of assets.
The only thing left was to find a younger driver!
It was perfect!
Because she usually took taxis, there were two taxi-hailing apps on Xia Xinyu's phone.
One was Didi, and the other was Kuadi.
She would use the service that offered more discounts.
However, the situation was different this time. Due to the size of Didi, she ended up choosing Didi.
She picked a random destination and started placing orders.
About five seconds later, the order was received and she hurriedly called the other party.
..
Ring, Ring, Ring..
Lin Yi's phone rang before he could get out of the car.
"Hello, are you the Didi driver?"
Lin Yi already knew who the person was. It was the passenger who placed the order.
"It's me, what do you want?" Lin Yi said.
"I want to ask, how old are you?"
Huh?
What kind of question was that?
How old was he? Did that have anything to do with the passenger?
Although he didn't know what he was up to, Lin Yi still told him his age.
1
"Twenty-four."
"Oh nice!"
Xia Xinyu was a little excited. She actually met someone her own age!
Soon, Xia Xinyu calmed down and asked in a low voice,
"I want to ask you for a favor, can you do that?"
"No, I'm just a Didi Driver. I don't provide extra services."
Lin Yi had seen too much of this kind of news.
There were some perverted customers who would always making things difficult for the Didi driver or the guy outside.
They would either ask him to buy cigarettes, take out the trash, or even buy sanitary pads.
2
Lin Yi was not interested in that sort of thing.
"Don't misunderstand me. My name is Xia Xinyu. I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and deal with my parents. I'll give you a five-star review afterwards. What do you think?"
"Uh…"
Lin Yi paused. This was a good idea.
3
"On account of the five-star review, it's a deal."
"Then it's a deal. What's your name?"
"Lin Yi."
"Okay, my house is in Tianyi Homestead, Building 4, unit 1,1302. You can come straight here."
2
"Okay."
Because Tianyi Homestead was nearby, Lin Yi arrived at Xia Xinyu's house after about ten minutes.
Knock, Knock, Knock
Xia Xinyu heard someone knocking on the door and opened it.
She prayed in her heart that this Didi brother was not too ugly, or else it would arouse suspicion.
Creak.
The door was pulled open and Xia Xinyu froze on the spot when she saw Lin Yi.
What, what kind of god-like beauty was this?
1
Did she save the Earth in her previous life?
3
"Yo, it's Xiaoyu's boyfriend, right?"
Seeing Lin Yi standing at the door, Xia Xinyu's mother greeted with a smile.
This young man was really good-looking. He was more than enough for her daughter.
Before Xia Xinyu could say anything, Lin Yi was pulled in.
"Your name is Lin Yi, right? How long have you been with my daughter?"Xia asked.
"Uh, more than half a year," Xia Xinyu answered first.
"I didn't ask you, what are you talking about?" After scolding Xia Xinyu, Mother Xia asked again,
"Young man, what do you usually do?"
"I'm a driver," Lin Yi replied.
"A driver?"
The old couple's faces changed. This didn't seem like a decent job.
"Are you a pilot? Then you should call yourself a captain."
Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The old couple's imagination was quite rich.
"I'm not flying a plane. I don't have that kind of skill." Lin Yi said
The old couple's expressions weren't as warm as they were before.
"Are you driving for a certain boss?" Lin Yi asked
3
The two of them could accept it if it was for a certain boss. After all, this gig was quite attractive.
However, this was their bottom line.
"You've misunderstood. I'm driving for Didi, I'm a Didi driver." Lin Yi said
"Didi driver?"
Why did Xia Hongyuan's expression suddenly change? He now looked a little ugly.
How much money could a Didi driver earn? If they were to be together in the future, how would they support their child?
1
Would they be able to live off the wind?
"That's right, he's a Didi driver." Xinyu said
"Dad, Mom, he's actually making a lot of money now. Lin Yi bought all my cosmetics and jewelry for me," Xinyu explained.
"Plus, he still has some money on him. We're planning to start a business in the future, so we won't work for Didi forever."
Hearing that, their expressions softened, but it was obvious that they weren't very happy.
"Let's talk about this later." Because Lin Yi was here, there were a lot of things that Xia Hongyuan still could not talk about. He planned to talk about it when there was no one else around at night.
"Oh right, mom and dad, aren't you going to a gathering? You should leave now or you'll be late."
Xia Hongyuan looked at the time and said:
"Alright, let him send us there. Don't leave either, just come with us."
The two of them had not yet thought the matter surrounding Lin Yi through.
Although his work was suboptimal, his looks were not bad. They had to weigh it properly before deciding which one to choose.
"I don't think it's possible for us to go together," Lin Yi said.
"Huh? Why Not?"
"My car is a two-seater. It can't fit four people."
Chapter 15: Didn't My Car Only Have Two Seats?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"What did you say?"
"Your car only has two seats?"
Forget Xia Hongyuan and his wife, even Xia Xinyu couldn't accept it.
All cars have four seats, no?
How could it only have two seats?
Was Didi now in the motorcycle business?
Before this, because of Lin Yi's looks, Xia Hongyuan decided to give him a chance even if he was working for Didi.
Now, it turned out he was actually riding a motorcycle.
Xia Hongyuan could not accept this!
His own daughter could not be with such a person!
"If that's the case, then let's take a taxi. We don't need your car anymore."
"Okay."
Lin Yi didn't care. Xia Xinyu had already placed the order anyway. He would give her a five-star rating later and it would be done.
1
Xia Xinyu wanted to kill herself. She really wanted to shoot herself in the foot right now.
She would definitely be scolded when she got back at night.
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
After leaving the house, Lin Yi walked to the front, and the three of them walked to the back, ready to take a taxi.
"You damn girl, did you grow eyes on the back of your head? You actually found a motorcyclist as your boyfriend!" Xia Hongyuan lectured.
"If we didn't call him to our house in advance, we would still be left in the dark. If others learned that I found a motorcyclist as my son-in-law, they would laugh at me!"
"Alright, stop talking." Xia Xinyu was already on the verge of tears.
She thought that with a handsome man, this matter could be concealed from the world.
She didn't expect things to turn out like this. Although he was handsome, he was indeed a motorcyclist.
It was natural for his parents to object.
"Your father is right. Hurry up and tell him clearly. In short, I won't recognize such a son-in-law!" Mother Xia said angrily.
"Even if it's a domestic car, I wouldn't say anything. What future can I have with a motorcyclist?!"
Di Di –
The three members of the Xia family heard the sound of a horn.
They looked up and froze on the spot.
"This… This should be a sports car!" Xia Hongyuan stuttered.
"This is the Pagani Zonda! There are only a few of these super cars worth more than 20 million in China."
Xia Xinyu was very surprised. Tianyi Homestead was just an ordinary neighborhood. It was the first time she had seen such a good car parked here.
Seeing Pagani's gullwing door open, Xia Xinyu was filled with a feeling of longing.
If only she could ride such a good car for once in her life.
"Baby, Baby, what's going on? That Lin Yi, doesn't he ride a motorcycle? Why is he walking towards that car?" Xia Hongyuan said in surprise.
Xia Xinyu was also very surprised. Not only did Lin Yi walk over!
He also got in the car!
"Lin Yi!"
Hearing someone call him, Lin Yi, who was closing the door, glanced at Xia Xinyu.
"What's wrong?"
The three people from the Xia family hurriedly ran over, "Is… is this your car?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't be in here if it wasn't mine."
"Aren't you riding a motorcycle? Do… do you also drive a sports car?" Xia Hongyuan was almost too puzzled to ask.
"Who said I'm a motorcyclist? Can a motorcyclist register on Didi?"
"You said it yourself. Your car has two seats."
"Isn't my car a two seater?"
Xia Xinyu felt like an idiot.
Sports cars had two seats. This was the most basic form of common sense. Why did she not think of it?
2
Howwever, who would have thought that you would drive a supercar while working for Didi!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Lin Yi waved his hand. "Remember what we talked about on the phone? Give me a five-star rating."
"Hey hey hey, son-in-law, you're already here, so don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's find a place to have a meal and talk about our daily life." Xia Hongyuan said with a smile.
"Didn't you guys have something to do?"
"It's fine, it's fine. It's just an ordinary colleagues' gathering. It's fine if we don't go."
"Then there's nothing else I can do. I still have other things to handle. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. If there's anything you need to do, go ahead and take care of it.. If you get too busy, I'll get Xiaoyu to help you."
As he said that, Xia Hongyuan even gave Xia Xinyu a push. "Don't stay at home all the time. Help him out."
Xia Xinyu got into the car half-heartedly. After all, she was the one who had called for the car, so she had the right to take it.
Seeing the luxurious interior of Pagani, Xia Xinyu felt like her eyes weren't big enough to take it all in. Moreover, the seat below her was a little hot.
"Where are you going? Are you going to the destination listed the order?" Lin Yi asked.
1
"I'm not going anywhere. Where do you want to go? I just want to experience it, and then I'll get out of the car."
"I'm going to the mall to buy something, but you have to change the destination, or else the order won't be completed."
"Okay, which mall do you want to go to?"
"Times Square."
"Okay."
Soon, Lin Yi received a message to change the destination on his phone and drove toward Times Square.
"You drive such an expensive car, and you definitely don't lack money, so why are you still driving for Didi?" Xia Xinyu asked in the car.
"To experience life, what's the point just living everyday as if waiting for death?" Lin Yi said in a high-class manner.
"You're amazing," Xia Xinyu said sincerely. "There are a lot of second-generation rich kids who aren't as good as you, living a luxurious life every day. It's not easy for you to think of so many things."
2
"Everyone has their own aspirations. You can't force it."
"Yeah, you're absolutely right."
"Brother Yi, I have a small request. Can you agree to it?" Xia Xinyu asked carefully.
They were the same age and they did not know who between them was older and who was younger, but Xia Xinyu had already taken the initiative to call him brother.
1
"What request?"
"I'm a female streamer. Can I stream in your car for a while?"
If she could stream in such a good car, it would definitely increase the popularity of her streaming room.
"It doesn't matter to me," Lin Yi said. "Just give me a five-star review after the event."
1
"Okay, no problem!" Xia Xinyu said happily. "As soon as the order is completed, I'll give you a good review immediately."
"Deal."
Xia Xinyu took out her phone and started the livestream. After ten minutes, there were already dozens of people in the livestream room.
"Xiaoyu, where are you? Are you the co-partner of a tycoon?"
"Haha, Stop Fooling Around Upstairs. Xiaoyu is a 10,000-year-old single dog. How could a tycoon like this be interested in her?"
"Maybe it's the passenger seat of a Wuling Hongguang (TL Note: A type of mini Chinese electric car)."
Xia Xinyu was speechless when she saw that everyone in the live broadcast room was mocking her.
Was she really that bad to them?
"Let me tell you, the car I'm riding in this time isn't a Wuling Hongguang. It's a real luxury car. The kind that you've never seen before in your life!"
"Haha, stop bragging. Show me the logo!"
"You're wrong. She's a woman. She doesn't have the guts to do so."
1
"No, you're wrong. She's a cross-dressing boss. I saw her once that night."
1
"Tch, didn't you just want to see the logo? There's no harm in showing it to you!"
Xia Xinyu slowly turned her phone and aimed it at the steering wheel.
After that, the entire live broadcast room fell silent.
Chapter 16: Hehehe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Damn, it's actually a Pagani!"
"Looking at the interior of the car, it seems to be the Pagani Zonda. This car seems to be worth more than 20 million. An ordinary rich second generation cannot afford to drive it!"
"And look, the driver is so handsome! He's definitely a rich second generation!"
Seeing the comments in the live broadcast room, Xia Xinyu's lips curled up as she said,
"Now you should believe it. You know what a luxury car is, right?"
Xia Xinyu felt proud in her heart. You guys always look down on me. This time, I will definitely turn things around!
"A nouveau riche 666."
"I suspect that this is a car that the host rented herself in order to increase her popularity. She even found a handsome driver along the way. It's just to attract attention. She must have spent a lot of money," said a troll in the live broadcast room.
2
"Are you crazy? This is the Pagani Zonda. It costs more than 20 million dollars each. There are only a few cars of them China. Who would be willing to rent it out? Do you think it's a garbage car like Mercedes-Benz or BMW?"
3
"How is that not possible? There might be dirty deals in private."
Xia Xinyu almost exploded in anger when she saw the troll's message.
In this era of the internet, there were all kinds of retards.
1
I'm not the kind of model with curves. How could I attract such a rich second generation?
2
Why didn't he think before he spoke?
This guy was definitely a loser who hated the rich and the handsome!
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
Even so, Xia Xinyu did not kick them out. If he stayed here, he would still contribute to her popularity.
1
When she could not take it anymore, she could kick him out again.
This streamer was too humble.
"Yi Bro, there's a parking space in front. Let's park there," Xia Xinyu pointed at the empty space in front.
"I see it. Don't worry."
As one of the most luxurious shopping malls in Zhong Hai, people came to Times Square every day.
Many people, like Xia Xinyu, had their eyes on the only empty space available.
However, when they saw Lin Yi's car approaching, they didn't dare to move.
If they weren't careful, they wouldn't be able to afford offending this figure even if they sold their bodies off!
1
"Hubby, there's an empty seat in front. Go over quickly. If you're any slower, you'll be robbed."
A woman in a low-cut short skirt said as she sat in a Porsche Panamera.
"Go to Hell." The middle-aged man next to her scolded. "That's a fucking supercar. Who dares to fight with him!"
"Supercar?" The woman in the front passenger seat was stunned. "So what if it's a supercar? This is also a sports car. Why should we let him win?"
"Idiot, that is a Pagani Zonda. Its price is more than 20 million. My car is only worth just over a million. In front of that car, it's not even worthy to be called trash. You want me to compete with him for the parking space?"
"That car is actually more than 20 million?"
The woman in the passenger seat was instantly horrified. Before she came to Zhong Hai, she heard everyone say that there were many rich people in Zhong Hai. Now, she finally saw it for herself.
2
Thinking of this, the woman in the passenger seat rolled her eyes. She still had to use all her strength to find a richer man.
A person driving a mere Panamera was just too poor to be worthy of her!
4
After parking the car, Xia Xinyu was a little stunned.
She still remembered the scene of the car parking.
Upon seeing Lin Yi's car driving over, everyone else's cars didn't dare to move.
Was this the ability of money?
"Wait, don't go yet," Lin Yi said.
"What's wrong?"
"Good review."
"Oh, Oh, I remember now, I'll do it now," Xia Xinyu said in a fluster.
Because Lin Yi only said 'good review', the people in the live broadcast room didn't understand what was going on and didn't think of him as someone who drove for Didi.
Soon, Lin Yi heard the system's notification sound.
[Mission completed. Obtained 200,000 experience points.]
[Job completion: 35%. Reward: One Zhong Hai International Racetrack, Master level driving skills!]
4
"Zhong Hai International Racetrack?"
Lin Yi had a slight impression of the place the system mentioned.
It seemed to be the most luxurious racetrack in Zhong Hai, and even in all of Huaxia.
Some people even said that it was the best racing venue apart from the Abu Dhabi racetrack in the Middle East!
Lin Yi didn't know if the rumors were true or not, but it was definitely the number one track in all of China!
He didn't expect it to become his business today!
It was unbelievable just thinking about it.
Ring, Ring, Ring…
Lin Yi's phone rang at this time. It was an unknown number.
"Hello," Lin Yi said.
"Hello, President Lin. I'm the manager of Zhonghai International Circuit, Zhou Haitao. Since you've just bought all the shares of our circuit, I have some procedures here, and I'd like to hand them over to you."
"I don't have time at the moment. I'll be there in the afternoon. Will this time be convenient?" Lin Yi said politely.
"Of course, of course. I'll be here all the time except for my official holiday on Sunday."
"Okay, see you in the afternoon."
Lin Yi did some calculations in his mind. It wouldn't take long for him to go around to buy his daily necessities. He estimated that he would be done by the afternoon.
Moreover, the system rewarded him with master-level driving skills. It would be a waste if he did not go to test them out.
"Yi Bro? What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Lin Yi was in a daze, Xia Xinyu asked tentatively.
"Nothing, let's go now."
"Yi Bro, what do you want to buy?" Xia Xinyu asked after getting out of the car.
"I want to buy some daily necessities, clothes, and anything that suits me."
1
"Oh, oh."
Xia Xinyu was a little nervous. This was her first time coming to such a high-end mall.
The things were so expensive that it was shocking. It wasn't a place for commoners like them to wander.
Lin Yi looked around inside the mall and saw the apple store not far away.
4
"Let's go there first. I want to change my phone."
2
Lin Yi's phone was only a domestic phone that cost just over a thousand, and it was already starting to lag. It would be easier for him to take orders if he changed his phone now.
"Okay."
The two of them went to the apple store together. The clean lobby, bright lights, and all kinds of new equipment displayed on the counter made the entire store feel high-end.
"Sir, do you see any products that you like? I can introduce them to you," the salesgirl greeted politely.
Lin Yi pointed at the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max on the counter and said, "Help me pack this up. I need 512gb of memory."
Xia Xinyu and the Salesgirl were stunned. A phone worth more than 10,000 dollars was bought just like that?
8
"Okay, please wait a moment."
"Wait, wait."
Xia Xinyu stopped the salesgirl and pulled Lin Yi aside.
"Yi Bro, it's not worth it for you to buy it here."
"How is it not worth it?"
"The phones in the store are all at full price. If you buy them online, you can get at least 1,000 dollars cheaper."
"There's no need since I'm already here. I'm too lazy to buy them online. I'll just them early and enjoy them early."
1
Lin Yi walked back as he spoke. "Help me pack it up."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Because of Lin Yi, Xia Xinyu's popularity reached over five million, five times more than the usual!
"It's so good to be rich. Even the salesgirl was stunned. She probably wanted to give herself to him."
"As long as one is rich, you are fated to be with anyone you want!"
"You poor people. Do you think someone is rich just because they bought a phone that costs more than 10,000 dollars?" The troll asked.
"A few days ago, a friend of mine bought the same phone, but he wasn't as high-profile as him. Hehe…"
"F * ck, it wasn't you who bought it, so why are you acting so pretentious? What the f*ck? Hehe, you f*cking baseless accuser."
Chapter 17: Shen Hao Goes On a Mission Without a Blade of Grass Growing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this time, the salesgirl walked over.
"Hello, Sir. This is your phone. Do you want to choose a case from us? They are all original products, so the quality is guaranteed."
Lin Yi looked at the counter. "I don't like using those things. It doesn't feel comfortable to use."
"Well, it's a phone that costs more than ten thousand dollars. It's not cheap. If you don't get a case too, you might ruin its beauty," the Salesgirl suggested.
Lin Yi thought for a moment before agreeing. "You're right."
Seeing that Lin Yi was willing to buy the case, the salesgirl beamed.
"Sir, these cases in the counter are all new models. I can give you a 20% discount of their sticker price. If you buy two at once, you can get a 30% discount."
Seeing that Lin Yi wanted to buy the phone cases, the live broadcast room became lively with discussion again. It was filled with sour comments.
"Haha, I just saw a phone case that cost more than 1,000 yuan. If he buys it without blinking, I'll admit that he's rich."
"Bullsh*t, buy the phone case that cost more than 5,000 yuan. Only then can you be considered rich."
"You guys are thinking too low." Someone called LemonKing said.
"The truly rich are those whose phone cases are more expensive than their phones. A few days ago, a friend of mine bought a phone case that costs more than 20,000 dollars. That's what you call a rich person."
Xia Xinyu was speechless when she saw the trolls in the live broadcast room. These people were hopeless.
"Sir, is there a model that you like? Let me show it to you."
"I didn't say I wanted to buy a phone case," Lin Yi said.
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
"No? Didn't you just say…"
"I meant I wanted to buy a few more phones. If I break one, I can just use a new one," Lin Yi said.
4
"Get five of each color and pack them together."
"Five of each color?"
The salesgirl almost lost her balance.
"Sir, there are four colors in our store for the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max. We'll have five for each color. Do you want 20 phones in total?"
Lin Yi nodded. "After that I'll get a top-quality Mac to go with it."
"Okay, okay. You'll have to wait a moment."
She watched as Lin Yi bought almost 300,000 worth of items in one go.
Xia Xinyu was in a bad mood.
1
This was way too extravagant.
The live stream exploded again, and there were too many comments.
"You trolls should have seen it by now, right? The real rich people don't buy phone cases, they just replace them with new ones."
1
"This is the real deal!"
"Awesome, a god-level tycoon is out there, not even a blade of grass can grow in his presence!"
"He only spent 200,000 dollars, what kind of god-level tycoon is this? Have you ever seen a real rich person? I once saw a person buy more than 500,000 dollars worth of things in one go, so this was nothing."
Xia Xinyu was speechless when she saw the messages left by the trolls.
These losers who couldn't afford anything was mocking Lin Yi. They were really drunk.
Lin Yi didn't care too much. After swiping his card, he waited for the shop assistant to prepare the goods.
1
At this moment, those who were wandering around the shop looked at Lin Yi, intentionally or otherwise.
Those women who were slightly more beautiful in particular were suddenly filled with ulterior motives.
1
Soon, everything that Lin Yi wanted was packed up.
Twenty cell phones and a laptop was not a small amount. Lin Yi put them back in the car and returned to Times Square.
"Yi Bro, what are we going to buy this time?"
Xia Xinyu felt that her little heart could not take it anymore.
Would there be such a big difference between the consumption methods of a rich second generation and an ordinary person?
"I want to buy a watch."
A woman's diamond ring, a man's watch.
Lin Yi had always dreamed of having a good mechanical watch, but due to his lack of money, that dream never came true.
Now, he had tens of millions in cash in his pocket. If he didn't buy a good watch, he would be letting himself down.
1
"Do you know anything about watches?"
Lin Yi asked casually as he entered the mall again.
"What level of watch do you want to buy?" Xia Xinyu replied.
As an anchor, she had to know a little bit of everything in order to be able to talk to her friends. Thus, Xia Xinyu knew a little bit about this topic too.
"Something high-end."
Seeing Lin Yi buy twenty phones in one go, Xia Xinyu felt that she wouldn't be able to catch his eye if she recommended an average brand.
"In the watch industry, the most high-end brands are Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin."
Lin Yi nodded. "Let's go to these two places first."
Xia Xinyu was speechless. She was just saying it casually, but now they were really going!
This was a luxury item in the watch industry!
"Vacheron Constantin is in front. Let's go check them out first."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Lin Yi said
A salesgirl looked up at Lin Yi and Xia Xinyu as they walked in, ready to welcome the guests.
"Where are you going?" The other salesgirl asked.
"Big Sis Li, there's a guest here. I'm going to receive him," the tall salesgirl replied.
"There's no need to receive him. It's just a waste of time."
"Why is it a waste of time?"
"Didn't you see that woman livestreaming on her phone? She's probably here to have fun. I've seen a lot of people like her, so there's no need to pay attention to her." Li Jie said.
"I don't think so. She seems to be making a lot of money as a streamer."
"But we're in Vacheron Constantin. Other than the super rich, most people don't have the ability to spend money here. Go do something else. Don't take it too seriously." Li Jie cpmmented.
"Got it, Big Sis Li," the tall girl said.
Lin Yi and Xia Xinyu strolled around the shop.
Upon seeing the price, Xia Xinyu felt like she was living in a slum. An unremarkable watch cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Who could afford such a thing except for those evil capitalists?
Although Lin Yi liked watches, he didn't know much about them. He went through item by item, just checking them out.
"Can you show me this watch?" Lin Yi pointed at a leather watch.
"Sorry, the watches in our store are only displayed in the window. If you like it, we can take it out after you pay," The female store manager, Li, said.
Huh?
What kind of logic was that?
How can I buy it if I cannot even look at it?
Just then, a middle-aged couple walked in from the outside and started shopping on the other side of the store.
The female store manager walked over. "Sir, Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm looking to get a watch. I want to choose a birthday present for my husband."
"You can choose anything you like. These watches were all released this year."
"I think that black watch is pretty good. Can I take it out and have a look?"
"Of course. Please wait a moment." The female store manager opened the window below and took out the watch that the woman had her eyes on before handing it to the other party.
Lin Yi and Xia Xinyu exchanged glances.
What was going on?
They couldn't look at it when they asked, but this woman instantly took it out when serving others. Was she looking down on them?
Chapter 18: Where did the sense of superiority come from?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Xinyu felt a little awkward.
She had long heard that these luxury goods clerks all had a kind of arrogance and did not take ordinary folks seriously.
Now that she looked at it, the rumors were indeed true.
Even so, you can look down on yourself, but you could not look down on Brother Yi!
Subconsciously, Xia Xinyu looked at the situation in the live broadcast room.
She noticed that the trolls in her chat were getting sour again.
"You must be being ridiculed. They didn't show it to you because they saw that you couldn't afford it."
"That middle-aged couple is obviously rich. They would naturally introduce themselves to these folks."
"Let's go quickly. That's Vacheron Constantin. It's not an ordinary brand. Don't embarrass yourself."
Lin Yi looked at the female store manager. "What do you mean? We are all customers. We should be treated equally, right?"
"I'm sorry, we provide services according to the customer level. I hope you can understand," the female manager said.
1
"Customer level?"
"I have my own evaluation principles. I'll assign different levels and then provide different levels of services."
"Haha…
"To put it bluntly, it's like looking at a person and thinking of him as lowly."
please read on website: MYBOX N0VEL. COM
Seeing that Lin Yi was angry, Xia Xinyu quickly pulled him back.
"Yi Bro, calm down. These people from luxury stores are always like that. There's no need to be angry."
1
"Sir, please watch your words and attitude. Otherwise, we'll have to call security." The female store manager rolled her eyes and said.
They were just two grandstanding streamers. It was already an act of mercy for her to let them look around inside the store.
If it was the luxury store upstairs, they wouldn't even give you the chance to enter the shop.
"You're just a dog with a few Vacheron Constantins. How can you be so pretentious? Where does your sense of superiority come from?" Lin Yi cursed.
2
"But this might be a brand you can't afford for the rest of your life." The female store manager mocked.
"Yi Bro, let's go."
Xia Xinyu knew that rich people like Lin Yi had bad tempers.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xia Xinyu pulled Lin Yi's arm and dragged him out of the Vacheron Constantin store.
There were other brands of expensive watches anyway, so they did not have to buy them here.
Seeing Lin Yi and Xia Xinyu leave, the middle-aged couple who were shopping for watches shook their heads with a smile.
"Young people nowadays are too hot-tempered. They don't have the ability to spend money, yet they're still so arrogant."
"These young people are too impetuous. They're so arrogant just because they have a few fans online. A high-end brand like Vacheron Constantin isn't a place for them."
"You're right. Times have changed. Grandstanding has become a trend," the female store manager said with a smile.
"Exactly," the middle-aged customer replied with a smile.
"But these two are quite interesting. They actually went to Patek Philippe. Even if they are young, they can't be ignorant."
Patek Philippe Store.
Seeing Lin Yi and Xia Xinyu come in, the female store manager was very polite and didn't show any annoyance.
"Sir, Madam, do you want to see a men's watch or a women's watch? I can show them to you," the uniformed salesgirl said.
Lin Yi looked at Xia Xinyu, "Any good suggestions?"
"This… this is a bit high-end. I don't really know much about it, I only know how it looks," Xia Xinyu said guiltily.
"Ask the people in your live broadcast."
Lin Yi liked to spend his time watching live broadcasts when he had nothing to do. He knew that there were people in the industry who understood the lifestyle of being a young master better than he did.
Xia Xinyu checked on the situation in the streaming room and found that someone had indeed given a reasonable suggestion.
"The 7140G-001 timepiece series is not bad. It fits the temperament of a god-level tycoon."
"The 7140G-001 seems to be worth more than two million. The price is suitable. It's indeed not bad."
"Hehe, a watch worth more than two million is also referred to as a watch? Just by wearing a watch worth more than two million, do you think you are worthy to be called a godly tycoon? If so, godly tycoons in this world are too worthless."
"I've let tou act all high and mighty, yet you actually look down on a watch worth more than two million? Come, come, come. You can recommend it. Let us see what kind of watch is considered a good watch."
LemonKing's words instantly caused the people in the live broadcast room to surround and attack him.
However, LemonKing had been on the battlefield for so many years. Naturally, he would not be intimidated by such a display.
"When they entered the shop just now, there was a Patek Philippe 175th anniversary commemorative piece in the window. It was sold for 17.5 million. If you really think you are a god-level tycoon, you should buy this watch."
"Are you f*cking retarded? Even the Emperor of Shanghai said that he would not buy this watch. You want God-level Tycoon Lin to buy this watch? You must be out of your mind."
"Haha, if you can't afford it, then say you can't afford it. Why are you criticizing me?"
At that moment, Lin Yi moved closer to Xia Xinyu and looked at the screen. "Did the netizens in the room give their opinions?"
"Don't listen to him. This person is a sour spirit. It makes him uncomfortable seeing how rich you are," Xia Xinyu said:
"There was a netizen who recommended you buy a 7140G-001. He said that this watch is pretty good."
Lin Yi looked at the situation in the broadcast room. "He actually recommended that I buy a 175th anniversary commemorative piece?"
The female Patek Philippe employees shook their heads at those words. These keyboard warriors were really daring.
The 175th anniversary commemorative piece was limited to six pieces worldwide and sold for 17.5 million dollars each.
Its actual significance wasn't just in its exquisite workmanship and value.
More importantly, it represented the value of the hundred-year-old Patek Philippe brand's workmanship.
The person who recommended this watch did not know anything at all. All he knew was the price. It was too low.
"Brother Yi, don't listen to them. That 7140G-001 is not bad." Xia Xinyu said.
"As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. For the 175th anniversary watch to be sold at such a high price, there must be a reason for it."
"That's true, but this watch costs 17.5 million."
"The price is indeed a bit too high."
Seeing that Lin Yi had admitted defeat, the trolls in the live streaming room stood up and attacked him:
"You're a coward now, aren't you? If you don't have money, don't pretend to be a tycoon. It's too easy to slap you in the face."

"You bought an iPhone and a computer for hundreds of thousands of dollars and you think you can show off your superiority? You're too naive."
"You'll get struck by lightning if you act so cool. You should keep a low profile when you go out. Don't think that the whole world is yours just because you drive a Pagani Zonda. There are still things in this world that you can't afford."
"Yi Bro, don't be angry. I'll kick these people out of the live broadcast room right now."
"There's nothing to be angry about." Lin Yi said with a smile. "Although the price is a little expensive, I can still afford it."
Lin Yi walked to the window and looked at it with confidence. It looked pretty good, and he should be able to bring it around with him.
"Can you help me pack up the 175th Anniversary Watch?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
Their eyes and mouths were wide open, and they couldn't believe their ears.
"Sir, what did you say? You want to buy the 175th Anniversary Watch?"
Lin Yi nodded. "Can't I?"

"Of… of course you can."
"Then help me put it away."
Lin Yi did some calculations. With his current assets, buying a watch worth 17.5 million was a bit of a luxury.
However, the guy was mocking him in public. If he didn't show off, he'd really be looked down on.
3
After all, the Peninsula Hotel and the Zhong Hai International Racetrack were both his now, and he'd have a steady stream of income in the future. It didn't matter if he spent some money to buy a watch at this moment.
The people in the broadcast room exploded when they heard that Lin Yi was going to buy the 175th anniversary model.
"Grandkids, did you see that? Almighty Lin is going to buy the 175th anniversary model. Is there anything else you want to force him to do?"
"He spent 17.5 million just like that. You've never seen so much money in your life, have you?"
"Is Almighty Lin looking for a sugar baby? I can do anything."
Faced with the crowd's attack, the trolls stopped talking.
In reality, they just wanted to use the keyboard in their hands to mock him.
However, he had casually bought a watch worth 17.5 million. There was no more room for them to mock him anymore.
"Sir, there's something I need to explain to you." The female store manager walked over and said in the gentlest tone.
"The model in the window is just a model. If you really want to buy it, we'll need to transfer the goods over from the Swiss headquarters. It'll take at least three days."
"Alright, but I might not have time to come over. Do you provide door-to-door service?"

"Sir, you must be joking. If you buy this watch, even if the officials don't provide delivery service, we'll still pay out of our own pockets to deliver it to you. Don't worry about that."
"Alright then, use your card now." Lin Yi handed the card over. "Password 0000000."
He took the card from Lin Yi's hand and swiped away 17.5 million yuan.
Even the female employees who were used to seeing rich people were amazed, let alone Xia Xinyu.
Spending so much money to buy a watch.
Most rich people would not do such a thing.
"Little Sun, go and take down the watch from the window display," said the female shop assistant.
"Got it, Sister Liu. I'll go now."
Xia Xinyu was a little curious. "Why did you take it down? Are you not selling it anymore?"
"Ma'am, it's like this. There are only six pieces of this 175th anniversary model available throughout the world, and only one piece is allocated to China. If Mr. Lin buys this watch, Patek Philippe stores across the country will no longer have the right to sell this watch, so we have to take it down."
1
"I see."
Seeing the female shop assistant take down the model in the window, the surrounding people came over to watch the show.
This 175th anniversary commemorative watch had been displayed in the window for more than a year. No one had expected that it would be taken down on such an ordinary day.
This meant that someone had bought this watch!
The staff members of several nearby stores were very curious. They wanted to come out and see which tycoon had bought this 10-million-dollar watch.
"Little Sun? You sold the 175th Anniversary Model?" Zhang Li, the female store manager of Vacheron Constantin, asked in surprise.
"We just sold it. A gentleman bought this watch."
"There are too many tycoons in Zhong Hai. They actually bought this watch? Let me see what it looks like."
Zhang Li was a little jealous. Vacheron Constantin was not a bad brand. Why did the tycoon go to Patek Philippe instead?
"He's in the shop." The salegirls said.
Zhang Li tilted her head and glanced at the Patek Philippe Store. She was stunned.
"Isn't that the young couple that came to my store just now?" Zhang Li asked.
At that moment, Lin Yi walked out of the store with a receipt and bumped into Zhang Li.
"What a coincidence, you're here." Lin Yi remarked.
"Sir, you bought the 175th Anniversary Watch?"
"Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, no, no, I don't have a problem with that."
Zhang Li wanted to die.
If she didn't look down on people just now, they would have spent their money in her store, right?
1
She was freaking losing my mind!
"Sir, our store has a lot of new models too. Why don't you come to our store again?"
"Forget it. Your Vacheron Constantin is too high-class. A poor man like me can only afford Patek Philippe." Lin Yi said.
1
The employees of Patek Philippe were secretly laughing. These rich kids really knew how to rub salt in their wounds!
"Sir, I'm just a small shopkeeper. Why do you have to lower yourself to my level?" Zhang Li smiled awkwardly.
"It's mainly because your brand is too high-class, and I really can't afford it." Lin Yi pointed at the middle-aged couple not far away.
"You can go look for them. They're obviously rich people. I only have coins in my pocket, so how can I compete with them?"
Seeing Zhang Li and the middle-aged couple being ridiculed, the live broadcast room was filled with jeers.
"Serves you right for looking down on Almighty Lin. You're courting death!"
"Even the noble Vacheron Constantin cannot afford to offend him."
"What the f*ck, even Patek Philippe is considered a cheap to him?"
Lin Yi looked around and found the elevator. He said to Xia Xinyu,
"Let's go upstairs."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Xia Xinyu felt good when she saw Lin Yi mocking Zhang Li.
It was great to be rich. If it was her, she would have left quietly after being provoked by Zhang Li.
However, Lin Yi was different. He bought a watch worth nearly 17.5 million and verbally slapped Zhang Li in the face. She didn't even dare to say a word in response.
It was good to have money!
Under the envy of countless people, the two of them reached the sixth floor together.
This was a section that sold luxury goods. If you just gave the word, there was nothing that could not be bought here.
"Do you know anything about men's clothing?" Lin Yi asked.
The clothes he used to wear were Anta, Semir, and the like. Lin Yi didn't know much about other brands of men's clothing, so he wanted to ask for Xia Xinyu's opinion.
"I heard that Versace and Armani's men's clothing are pretty good. You can go check them out."
Xia Xinyu had only heard of them. She didn't know much about the two brands.
If it wasn't for Lin Yi, she wouldn't have had the guts to come to this floor before this.
"Let's go. Versace seems to be in front. Let's go check them first."
"Okay."
They walked a dozen meters forward and were stopped by the salesgirl as soon as they entered the store.
"Sir, please wait."
"What's wrong?"
The salesgirl didn't say anything but pointed at a small sign next to them. The two looked at it and saw that it read.
"No webcasting allowed."
Xia Xinyu felt awkward when she saw the sign and her face turned red.
"Huh? What kind of rule is that? Your mall is too weird," Lin Yi said.
"It's not a mall rule, it's because one online streamer's reputation in particular wasn't very good. Not only did she criticize us, but she didn't even buy anything in the end. We had no choice but to enforce this rule."
The salesgirl's face was filled with a sense of superiority. She was basically saying that Lin Yi was a poor guy who was just trying to please the crowd.

"Yi Bro, why don't you go in? I'll wait outside."
"What's the point of waiting outside?" Lin Yi said. "The customer is God. There's no God who waits outside."
1
"But…"
"Let's go. We can always buy it at home, so let's go to another store for now. Don't they have Armani here?"
Xia Xinyu thanked Lin Yi from the bottom of her heart. To a certain extent, he had protected her dignity.
Although she was a woman, she still had to save face!
They didn't walk far before they reached the Armani store. The men's clothes were pretty good, and they were ready to buy a few pieces.
"Sir, Madam, I'm sorry. There's a rule in the store that forbids streamers from entering."
Before they could enter the store, they were stopped again.
"What's wrong with streamers? Is there a need for this?" Lin Yi was a little confused.
They didn't break the law, so why could they not enter?
"We're a luxury store. Firstly, filming is forbidden. Honestly, if streamers were to film in our store, it would affect our daily business."
1
Lin Yi shook his head. Selling a luxury product wasn't enough to give him a sense of superiority.
"Then I'll put away my phone. It should be enough, right?" Xia Xinyu didn't want Lin Yi to be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to say this.
"It's up to you whether you want to keep it or not. If you really want to come and spend, we will welcome you. But if you just want to watch, I don't think we should waste each other's time."

"Let's go to the other shops," Lin Yi said. "I don't believe it. All the shops are like this."
1
If he shook Xia Xinyu off, no one would stop him from entering.
However, she had been following him this whole time and given him a lot of pertinent advice. Naturally, he couldn't leave her behind.
Lin Yi didn't think of himself as a gentleman, but at the very least, he had to be gentlemanly.
"It's the same if you go to other stores. Unless it's a domestic brand you won't be able to enter–international brands like us don't allow webcasters to enter. You'll be rejected even if you try, so you'd better go somewhere else," the female employee from LV said.
Seeing the people from the other stores watching the show, Xia Xinyu was extremely embarrassed.
Were webcasts so unpopular?
She did not do anything wrong!
1
"Since we can't buy anything here, let's go somewhere else," Lin Yi said lightly, not taking the situation to heart.
"Okay."
Xia Xinyu responded and the two of them walked toward the elevator. Just then, the elevator door opened.
A young man in a suit walked out and ran to Lin Yi's side.
"Hey, Mr. Lin, I found you."
"You're looking for me?"
Lin Yi was a little confused. "I don't think we know each other."
"Mr. Lin, let me introduce myself first. I'm Li Shucheng, the manager of Times Square."
"You're looking for me?"
"It's like this. You bought that 17.5 million dollar watch at Patek Philippe's store just now, and you automatically got a diamond member from Times Square. I'm here to give you a card."
17.5 million dollars!
Li Shucheng's words made all the employees in the store gape in shock.
1
They were in a bad mood.
How could they reject such a super rich man?!
2
Who gave them the courage to do this?
Li Shucheng handed over a platinum card. It seemed to be covered with real gold dust.
"If there's such a rule," Lin Yi said with a smile, "then I'll take it."
"Yes, you can get a diamond membership if you spend more than 10 million in our mall."
"Alright, I'll take it first. Bye."
"Mr. Lin, aren't you going to look around anymore?" Li Shucheng asked when he saw Lin Yi leaving empty-handed.
"They won't let me in either, what's the point of walking around for?"
"They won't let you in?"
Li Shucheng paused for a moment. "How can that be? We're a high-end mall, we won't stop customers from entering."
"My friend is a streamer, so these people are blocking us from entering," Lin Yi said.
"Maybe they're afraid that we won't be able to afford the things inside."
"No, no, no, sir, please don't misunderstand."
A few female employees of LV walked out and stood in front of Lin Yi, apologizing profusely.
"We didn't mean to offend you. I hope you won't hold it against us."
The female employees almost peed their pants.
They could afford 17.5 million dollar watches, so would they not be able to afford a few clothes?
Besides, the diamond members of Times Square had many privileges.
If they complained, they would be fired without any room for negotiation!
This time, they had disturbed a hornet's nest.
At the same time, the employees of Versace and Armani also stood up and apologized to Lin Yi.
1
"Sir, I'm really sorry. We didn't mean it. I hope you can give us a chance."
Lin Yi looked around and saw the female employees of various specialty stores all standing around and apologizing.
Xia Xinyu's live broadcast room immediately turned into a large-scale carnival.
"I can't stand those disgusting mouths of theirs. They think they're superior just because they're selling luxury goods. Where does their sense of superiority come from?!"
7
"Hurry up and file a complaint against them. Fire all of them!"
"They actually dare to look down on Almighty Lin. Don't they know what they're doing?!"
"Why don't you let the webcasters in? They've dug their own family's graves!"
3
Li Shucheng did not know that such a big commotion was going on in the live broadcast room.
However, from from his expression, the staff knew that he was about to die from anger.
"What's wrong with you people? How many times have I told you not to judge people based on their appearance? Do you all want to quit?"
Just now, Li Shucheng secretly checked Lin Yi's spending records.
He found that not only did he buy a 17.5 million watch, but he also bought 20 mobile phones and the latest Mac computer.
He didn't look at the price of things like this. If it wasn't for this incident, he could have spent at least a few hundred thousand more.
This was great. He had been ruined by these people!
The female employees all lowered their heads, their arrogant expressions swept away.
In order to protect their jobs, some of them were still apologizing.
1
"There's no need to apologize, go back to your work."
Lin Yi waved his hand lightly and brought Xia Xinyu downstairs.
Li Shucheng lectured the others a few more times before rushing downstairs with Lin Yi.
On the fifth floor, most of the brands were second-tier luxury brands. Both domestic and foreign brands accounted for half of the shops here, and the styles were pretty good.
After buying five sets of clothes in one go, Li Shucheng arranged for someone to help Lin Yi carry them down.
"Mr. Lin, there's a Panamera not too far away. Is that your car?"
The car had been sold for more than two million dollars, and it was very likely to belong to Lin Yi.
With his status, a car like the BMW no longer suited his temperament.
Lin Yi shook his head. "My car is on the other side of the parking lot."
Li Shucheng turned around and sucked in a breath of cold air!
"Pa–Paganini Zonda! This, this car should be worth more than twenty million yuan."
