Chapter 301

"Um...

"I didn't mean that. I just thought that it wasn't very nice."

"Then I'll change into a long dress."

After saying that, Ji Qingyan went back to the room and changed into a matching long dress that reached all the way to her ankles.

"How about now?"

"This is not bad, very good."

"You still don't want to admit it?" Ji Qingyan said. "You just don't want me to show my thighs."

"What's there to show with your thick legs? I'm trying to prevent you from showing your flaws," Lin Yi said seriously.

"I'm not fat, and my legs aren't thick." Ji Qingyan said. "You obviously have selfish motives. Apparently, you can see it, but others can't."

"Wrong!" Lin Yi corrected her. "I was just admiring you. I don't have any evil thoughts."

Ji Qingyan squatted down with a smile and cupped Lin Yi's face with both hands. "I can see that your mind is full of evil thoughts."

After that, Ji Qingyan stood up. "The weather outside is really good. Let's go out and take a look."

"Let's go."

Lin Yi went downstairs and gave another two thousand dollars as a deposit. He didn't know how long he would be staying there, so he handed over the money first.

Seeing Lin Yi talking to the female receptionist, Ji Qingyan couldn't help but think of the phrase, "When you're worried about a girl, you must separate the two".She couldn't help but laugh.

After settling the deposit, the two walked out of the hotel and prepared to buy tickets to enter the park.

Naturally, Ji Qingyan wasn't short of money, but she used to spend most of her time on her studies and work. Even though there was Disneyland in China, she never had the chance to go.

She'd only pass by it when she went out to discuss business.

To her, this trip to Disneyland seemed to have a different meaning.

There were many people lined up at the entrance of the park, and there were many Chinese people bringing their families here to enjoy themselves.

"So many people." Ji Qingyan tiptoed forward. "There are so many people. The smart thing to do was to arrive early."

"It's Disneyland, after all. It's normal for there to be a lot of people." Lin Yi said.

After queuing for a while, Lin Yi bought the tickets and the two of them entered the park together.

Disneyland in Orlando was the largest theme park in the world.

Their first stop was the Animal Kingdom within Disney.

"Lin Yi, I heard a tiger's cry." Ji Qingyan grabbed Lin Yi's arm, as excited as a child.

Lin Yi didn't ruin her mood, smiling. "I'll take you there."

"We'll go later." Ji Qingyan pulled Lin Yi and pointed at a small stall not far away. "Look at that stall over there, they're selling a shiny hair clip. Isn't it nice?"

"Yeah, it's pretty."

"And?"

Ji Qingyan wanted one, but she wanted Lin Yi to offer it to her first.

"So what if it looks good? What else?"

"Don't you want to buy one for me?"

"Not yet."

"No." Ji Qingyan couldn't take it anymore, and decided to stop being reserved.

"I want a shiny hair clip and a Mickey balloon."

"Why do you want everything? If you keep begging me, I won't take you out anymore."

"I still want one." Ji Qingyan said sweetly. "Buy one for me."

"That'll depend on your performance." Lin Yi said. "Besides, I bought you a hairpin yesterday. Why do you still want one today? How many heads do you have?"

"Alright then, you can buy one for me later."

With Ji Qingyan's wealth, she could naturally afford everything here.

However, she wanted Lin Yi to buy it for her. Only then would it feel right.

"Darling, I want that shiny hair clip."

Not far from them, a girl in a Loli outfit said.

"That hair clip costs more than 40 dollars. It's too expensive. There's no need for it." The boy next to her pointed at Ji Qingyan and said.

"Look at her. She's so pretty and she listens to her boyfriend. She won't buy it if he says no. You're not as pretty as her, so you have to listen to her."

"If you were as handsome as that little brother, I'd listen to you, but you're not."

Ji Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud. That was a bit of a blow.

Animal Kingdom was a part of the amusement park, but it was very large, and many animals kept here could not be found within the country.

There were all kinds of species.

"Lin Yi, look, there's a giant panda over there!"

The park was filled with foreign animals, and Ji Qingyan was extremely excited when she saw the giant panda.

"The giant pandas here were transported from Sichuan Province. Let's take a look."

"But to be able to see a giant panda here feels so intimate."

"That's true."

Most people wouldn't feel anything if they saw such a scene in China.

On the other hand, coming across anything related to China would give one a sense of familiarity.

"Hubby, that giant panda seems to be a little thin. I want to feed it something," a woman with a ponytail and shorts said.

"Feed it. Don't you have a biscuit in your hand? Just feed it."

The man who spoke was wearing glasses. He was dressed casually and had an arrogant look on his face.

The man's name was Chen Junye. He graduated from Fudan University in Zhonghai and was now the boss of a start-up company.

The woman beside him was his girlfriend, Wang Ziyi.

"But the place is sealed off. There's no way to feed it."

"Isn't it simple?" Chen Junye said, "There's a door over there. I'll open it quietly, then you just have to throw it in."

"Okay, okay, okay. Let's do it that way."

"Wait!"

Seeing that the two of them were eager to try feeding the food privately, Ji Qingyan could not help but stop them.

"According to the rules of the park, feeding the animals is prohibited."

Wang Ziyi glanced at Ji Qingyan. She had wanted to use her aura to suppress the other party.

However, she realized that the woman standing next to her was not only taller than her, but her legs were longer as well. Both her front and back also protruded more than her.

Most importantly, the other party's face was prettier than hers.

It was complete domination.

"Disneyland does not belong to your family. I can do whatever I want. I don't need you to monitor me!"

"You!"

Ji Qingyan was furious. Compared to other animals, giant pandas were more special.

Even in China, the keepers were very careful in feeding them. No one was allowed to touch them. If she fed them without permission and caused a problem, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.

After all, giant pandas were too rare, and they belonged to her country. Ji Qingyan couldn't bear to part with them.

"Alright, why bother with them?" Lin Yi said.

"These two giant pandas were lent to Disney by China, and they are protected by Chinese laws. If something really goes wrong, they will be directly sentenced in our home country. Let them feed them as they please. If they die due to this, we'll get to enjoy a good show."

Lin Yi's words made Chen Junye and Wang Ziyi give up the thought of feeding them.

They hadn't thought it through before this.

As it turned out, the consequences were pretty serious. Even so, they still muttered something to try to save their last shred of dignity,

"What a busybody."

Lin Yi glanced at Wang Ziyi. "We're just reminding you out of kindness. Please be nice. Does your boyfriend have uremia? Why are his words so harsh?"

Ji Qingyan paused. What did this have to do with uremia?

"Say that again!"

Lin Yi shrugged. "It'll be the same even if I repeat myself. Your boyfriend looks like he's at the end of his life. Good luck."

Lin Yi held onto Ji Qingyan's hand as he spoke.

"Let's go somewhere else. I think there's an elephant there. Let's go take a look."

"I'm not going!" Ji Qingyan was rejected immediately. "I don't ever want to see an elephant!"

"You don't want to see an elephant?"

Lin Yi said, "Miss Ji, if this is the case, then I have to say a few words to you. Pandas are cute, and that's why you are willing to look at them. On the other hand, just because elephants aren't cute, you don't want to spare them a glance. You're too focused on aesthetics. You can't be so unfair."

"You still have the nerve to say that?"

Ji Qingyan pinched Lin Yi's waist. "If you didn't tell me a little story about rice before, I wouldn't be like this. It's all your fault!"

Chapter 302

?

"Uh..."

Lin Yi paused for a moment, recalling the story that had caused her to lose her appetite.

"If that's the case, let's not look at the elephants," Lin Yi said. "There's a little white rabbit and a little black rabbit up ahead. Let's go and take a look at them."

"Lin Yi, you're going to die!" Ji Qingyan chased after him, wanting to give him a kick. He was too infuriating.

"The world is so beautiful, but you're so hot-tempered. How terrible is that?"

"You're just trying to make me angry." Ji Qingyan said with a straight face.

"Don't be angry. I'll buy you some water. There's a juice stall ahead."

"That's more like it. I want mango juice."

"You like mango too?"

"I didn't like it at first, but after seeing that you like it, I tried it a few times and it tasted okay. Now I've started to become fond of it."

"Wait here then."

A few minutes later, Lin Yi came running over with two cups of freshly squeezed mango juice. There was also a big straw hat in his hand with a gap at the edge, which gave off an old-fashioned feel.

There were also two balloons in Lin Yi's hand, which he handed to Ji Qingyan.

"It's too hot, wear this straw hat."

Seeing the straw hat and balloons Lin Yi bought for her made her heart flutter.

Visit (Myb o xn ov e l. com) to read, pls!

"Do I look like Luffy when I wear the straw hat?"

"You know quite a lot. You even know about Luffy?"

"My roommate during my postgraduate studies was an otaku. She watched anime every day in the dorm, and the room was filled with her figurines. I didn't really want to learn about them, but she fed me so much knowledge every day." Ji Qingyan covered her mouth as she laughed.

"If you put it that way, you don't look like Luffy, but more like the Empress."

Ji Qingyan's heart fluttered even more "Is it because you're good-looking?"

"Don't flatter yourself. I'm referring to your figure."

"That's also a compliment," Ji Qingyan said proudly with her head held high.

Next, the two of them strolled around the park for a while before heading to the amusement park next to it. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

This was also the essence of Disney.

"So many people." Ji Qingyan stood in place. Seeing that there were many people queuing for every ride, her enthusiasm significantly dampened.

"I want to go on the carousel, but I don't know how long I'll have to wait."

"I think there are VIP tickets here. I'll go and buy two more tickets, so there'll be no need to wait in line."

"That's great." Ji Qingyan said, "Ask them if there is a limit to the number of times we can ride it as well."

"Isn't it enough to ride it once?"

"Nope, I want to try them a few times."

"Wait here."

Lin Yi went to the ticket counter and lined up again.

At the same time, many other people were also lining up.

"Look, that little brother is so handsome. He's obviously from China."

"Zhao Lele, can you stop being infatuated? You're going to start drooling soon."

"Everyone loves to take in beauty."

The girls at the back of the line couldn't hold themselves back when they saw Lin Yi at the front.

"What's the use of being handsome? Society is very realistic. Money is the real currency," the short-haired man beside Zhao Lele said.

"But he's here to buy VIP tickets. He must be pretty well off."

"A VIP ticket only costs a few thousand dollars. It's not much. Anyone can afford it. It's nothing," the short-haired man said.

"A VIP ticket costs 1,899 dollars. If converted into RMB, the price is more than 10,000 dollars," Zhao Lele said. "If that's not a significant sum, then what is?"

"If he buys ten tickets at once, I'll admit that he's rich."

"Are you kidding me? He's all by himself. What's the point of having so many tickets?" Zhao Lele said.

"Because the real rich people don't care about this bit of money at all. They'll just buy it as they please."

"Li Dongyang, you're not saying that because you're jealous of his good looks, are you?"

"Tsk, he's just a little more handsome than me, but I'm richer than him. What's there to be jealous of?"

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi walked to the ticket window and asked,

"How much are the VIP tickets?"

This time, Lin Yi didn't use his poor English, but his standard spoken English.

"1,899 dollars per ticket."

"I want to ask, do the VIP tickets allow for unlimited rides?"

In China, many amusement parks had unlimited-ride tickets, but this wasn't China, so he had to ask.

"I'm really sorry. There is a limit to the number of times a VIP can enjoy each ride. One game can only be taken once, but this includes free queuing and many other value-added services. It's very worth it."

"Hey, buddy, can you stop joking?" Li Dongyang mocked.

"This is not China. Even if it's a VIP ticket, it can only be used once. If you don't understand, go online and check in advance. Don't embarrass yourself by asking such a stupid question."

"Li Dongyang, what are you saying!" Zhao Lele said. "He's just asking. What's wrong with that? You're just jealous because he's handsome."

"Jealous that he's poorer than me? Are you kidding me?" Li Dongyang said disdainfully.

"Are you buying it or not? VIP tickets can only be used once per ride. If you don't think it's worth it, then leave. Don't delay the people waiting to buy tickets."

Lin Yi glanced at Li Dongyang but didn't say anything. He turned to look at the saleswoman.

"Are there any other types of tickets? The ones that don't limit the number of rides?"

"I'm really sorry, we only have normal and VIP tickets."

"Then how many VIP tickets are left?"

"Wait a moment." The saleswoman looked at the machine. "There are still 105 left."

"Alright, I'll take them all."

"What, all of them?!"

The people standing at the side were all stunned. Many of them were looking at the Chinese man beside them in disbelief!

VIP tickets cost 1,899 dollars each. 105 tickets cost nearly 200,000 dollars!

If converted into RMB, it would be nearly 1.4 million dollars!

This person was way too rich!

"Sir, are you sure you want to buy the rest of the tickets?"

"Of course."

Since there was no online payment system in the US, Lin Yi took out his credit card to pay the bill.

Lin Yi took the two electronic tickets and walked away, leaving the people behind stunned.

"Li Dongyang, who do you think has more money now?"

Li Dongyang, "..."

Lin Yi went back to the park and found Ji Qingyan with a vanilla ice cream cone in her hand.

"Lin Yi, this ice cream cone is delicious. Do you want one? I'll buy it for you."

"It's too sweet, I don't want to eat it."

Lin Yi took the electronic ticket. "Follow me, I'll bring you to ride the carousel."

"Got it, Big Bro." Ji Qingyan said politely.

With the VIP tickets in hand, the two entered the facility.

"Huh? Why are you stopping outside?"

"This kind of ride isn't suitable for a macho guy like me. You should ride it alone."

Ji Qingyan stopped in her tracks and said unhappily, "If you don't want to ride it, then I won't ride it either."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll bring you in."

"That's right. If you don't come along, I won't have any fun riding it by myself."

There were many other things in life that were like that. Eating hotpot by yourself was a lonely experience, but eating it with somebody else was very enjoyable.

Since she was wearing a dress, Ji Qingyan sat in a small carriage.

"Lin Yi, you ride the little white horse next to you."

Her eyes were full of stars and her smile gave off a moonlight glow. Ji Qingyan's excitement was written all over her face.

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

The bell rang and the merry-go-round started slowly.

Lin Yi was speechless. This wasn't something a tough guy like him should be seen on.

"Lin Yi, turn around."

Lin Yi turned around when he heard Ji Qingyan's call. He looked straight at her camera and she snapped a few photos in a row.

After a few minutes, the ride ended. Despite this, Ji Qingyan wasn't satisfied.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask you earlier. Do the VIP tickets allow for unlimited rides?"

"Of course not."

"Alright, although I'm not really satisfied, I guess we can only leave."

"However, I bought the remaining 105 VIP tickets. We still have another 100 rides left. This should be enough to satisfy you."

Chapter 303

"You, you actually bought more than 100 tickets?!"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to ride it a few more times? I bought the rest of the tickets so that we wouldn't have to wait in line."

The people standing in line were all dumbfounded.

VIP tickets were 1,899 dollars each, yet he bought 105 tickets at once. That was more than 200,000 dollars!

Was this how the rich shopped at Disneyland?

This was the first time in their lives that they had seen someone pamper his girlfriend so much.

The most unacceptable thing was that he wasn't some old person at all. On the contrary, he was very handsome.

Don't act like you wouldn't get jealous seeing this.

Ji Qingyan was touched and held Lin Yi's hand. "Actually, you didn't have to buy so many tickets. You just need to buy a few."

"It isn't easy for us to find the time to come here. I have to make sure we get enough of it."

"You're so nice." Ji Qingyan said quietly. "After this, I won't have any regrets."

"Are you just going to give me a verbal reward?"

"You want to take advantage of me again." Ji Qingyan said embarrassedly. "Especially when we go back tonight."

...

"That's right."

Ji Qingyan chuckled, her beautiful face as pretty as a flower.

Lin Yi took Ji Qingyan to ride the carousel a few more times over the next half an hour before leaving satisfied.

"Lin Yi, I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat."

"Let's go eat then," Lin Yi said. "We can come in as many times as we want throughout the day anyway."

"What's there to eat?" Ji Qingyan said.

"I saw earlier that when you buy VIP tickets, in addition to being able to skip the queue, you will also get a free lunch. We can eat here and save some money."

"What's the point of saving money? If we were to die prematurely, it'd be a pity if we didn't spend all our money."

"We can just leave it for the kids."

"Even they won't be able to spend it all."

"Then we'll just have a few more then."

Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan. "I believe you have the ability to do this."

"You're going to die! Who's going to give birth to you? Don't you have any shame? Hurry up and take me to eat!"

The two arrived at the dining area. Since they bought VIP tickets, they could order anything here.

However, the f*cking thing was that the choice of food was limited. They could eat everything here, but it was not satisfactory.

The two of them ordered a lot of things, but there weren't many of the dishes that were actually enjoyable. Only a few of them tasted good.

"Lin Yi, I think this mango smoothie is pretty good. Can you get me another one?" Ji Qingyan asked in a low voice.

In private, she could eat whatever they wanted in front of Lin Yi without fear of him laughing.

However, this was a public place and she had to be mindful of her image, so she had to arrange for Lin Yi to get it.

"It's the end of the month, eat less cold food." Lin Yi said as he pinched her nose.

"Alright then." Ji Qingyan was very obedient and didn't dwell on it. She pointed at the vanilla soufflé on the table. "I think this is pretty good too, but the portion is too small. Can you get me another one?"

"Sure, I'll get it for you."

Lin Yi wiped his hands and walked to the bar counter.

"I'd like two vanilla soufflés."

Lin Yi handed over his VIP tickets.

The black woman in charge of the sales was very polite when she saw Lin Yi.

ThisHuaxia1?man had bought more than 100 VIP tickets. Based on that, he could eat whatever he wanted in the restaurant.

However, just as the black woman was about to take something for Lin Yi, she heard a mocking voice.

"Vanilla Soufflés are limited to members. You can't just take it. You should stick to your own domestic buffet."

Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan turned around and realized that the person who spoke was the long-haired woman who wanted to feed the giant panda.

"I'm really unlucky to have met you guys here." Lin Yi said speechlessly.

"Sigh, I really can't do anything about you guys." Chen Junye said.

"Don't you guys look at the logo? You guys are embarrassing yourselves overseas."

"I bought 105 VIP tickets. I can eat whatever I want here. What do you guys care about? How ridiculous."

"What did you say?! You bought 105 VIP tickets?!"

Chen Junye and Wang Ziyi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Yi ignored them and took the two vanilla soufflés from the black woman before returning to Ji Qingyan's side.

"You bought so many tickets at once. You must be a country bumpkin who's never seen the world. You came here to get a sense of superiority," Wang Ziyi said sarcastically.

"Please be courteous," Ji Qingyan said with a straight face.

"We're already being very courteous," Wang Ziyi said.

"I just wanted to remind you guys to watch your words and actions when you're out, so you don't embarrass the?Huaxian1?people."

"I wonder which idiot was feeding the giant panda." Lin Yi said with a smile. "If somebody was embarrassing our country, it wasn't us."

"You!"

Wang Ziyi was about to lose her temper when she was interrupted by two people who approached them from behind.

"Old Wang, why are you two standing here instead of finding a place to eat?"

"If you meet two meddlesome country bumpkins, teach them a lesson here so they don't embarrass the Huaxian people."

The man and woman who came in from behind looked at Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan, and their expressions suddenly froze.

Lin Yi was also stunned when he saw the two people who came in.

Weren't they Gao Renxing and Li Xueru from Song Jia's class reunion? 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮

Birds of a feather flock together. People who liked to act cool all hung out together.

"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here." Gao Renxing greeted me politely.

"You guys know each other?" Chen Junye was surprised.

"We met once at a dinner party," Gao Renxing said.

"I think there's been a misunderstanding. We're all well-regarded people. Why don't we sit down and have a drink? It's not a big deal."

After discovering Lin Yi's true identity, Gao Renxing and Li Xueru didn't dare to show off in front of him anymore.

"Do they deserve to sit down and have a drink with me?" Lin Yi asked faintly. "Do you think they have the right to do so, or are you looking down on me?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Lin, that's not what I meant." Gao Renxing said with a smile.

"We're all respected figures. Harmony breeds money."

"What's there to be polite about?" Lin Yi said. "They're not even on the same level as me. Do you really think we can get along?"

"This..."

"Old Gao, who is this guy? Why is he so pretentious?" Chen Junye asked nervously and seriously.

From their conversation, Chen Junye could tell that this man in front of him seemed to have some status.

Otherwise, Old Gao would not have spoken to him in such a tone.

"Mr. Lin has a respectable background. He is not an ordinary person," Gao Renxing said.

"Hehe, how is he not ordinary?" Chen Junye said.

"Old Gao, you know my situation. Do you think I still need to be afraid of anyone now? As long as it is not someone at Young Master Qin's level, there's no one I have to watch my words around, right?"

Chapter 304

"This..."

Gao Renxing hesitated for a moment and said,

"Mr. Lin, I know that your family business is big. In the past, Old Chen wouldn't be able to compare to you. But now, his company has already received its angel investment and Series A financing, while their Series B fundraising is about to start. The market prospects are particularly good. If we compare it, he might not be far off from you..."

"Is that so? Just two rounds of financing and he's already acting this crazy?"

"Haha... ..." Chen Junye laughed coldly. "There's something you might not know, but the people who invest in me aren't ordinary people."

"Then I'd like to know who has the right to make you this crazy."

"You should have heard of Sino-Han Capital, right?" Chen Junye said. "Sino-Han Capital invested in the Series A fundraising, and will also participate in the Series B round."

"Sino-Han Capital gives you so much confidence?" Lin Yi said. "Is Qin Han your relative?"

"Are you afraid? Are you starting to curse inside?" Chen Junye said:

"Let me tell you, in addition to Sino-Han Capital, Huaxia's new powerhouse, Lingyun Capital, has also invested in my company, from the angel stage all the way to the Series B round!"

"Junye, why are you talking to a nouveau riche like him?" Wang Ziyi said.

"A person like him probably doesn't even know what financing is."

Ji Qingyan was speechless. She held her temple and shook her head.

Weren't these people a little too arrogant? They felt too good about themselves.

Gao Renxing stood up and explained,

Visit (Myb o xn ov e l. com) to read, pls!

"Mr. Lin, I'm sure you're not familiar with this new Lingyun capital. I can tell you that even though they came out of nowhere, their strength cannot be underestimated. The newly built Twin Towers were bought by the boss of Lingyun group for 18 billion?yuan1. With such a person backing Old Chen, you might really..."

Gao Renxing didn't finish his sentence, but he believed that Lin Yi would understand what he meant.

Chen Junye might not have as many assets as he did, but Lin Yi wasn't as impressive as him in terms of future prospects and development.

Gao Renxing's words completely shocked the Huaxian people who were eating nearby.

Qin Han was from Zhonghai, but he had a lot of influence on the internet.

The Mysterious Lingyun that he was talking about had spent 18 billion yuan to buy a building. With these two giants backing him up, who would dare to go against him?

If he did, he'd be making an enemy out of those two bigwigs!

"Pfft!"

Ji Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

They were so arrogant, yet it turns out that Lin Yi was the one who had invested in them.

Lin Yi laughed out loud, too, not knowing what to say.

"Who's the one who invested in you? He is Yuanyuan or Qi Xianzhao?" Lin Yi asked.

Chen Junye froze when he heard Lin Yi mention He Yuanyuan and Qi Xianzhao's names. "You actually know Director He and Director Qi?"

"Don't ask me a question in response. Tell me who invested the money in you."

"Director Qi made the decision."

"Let's not hurry. I'll make a call first."

Lin Yi took his phone and dialed Qi Xianzhao's number. It took a long time for it to be picked up.

"President Lin?"

Due to the time difference, it was already one in the morning in Huaxia, and Qi Xianzhao was already sleeping.

"Do you know someone called Chen Junye?" Lin Yi asked.

"I do. He's the general manager of Zhongju Technology. The company's prospects aren't bad. I invested in the angel round and Series A fundraising, and I'm planning to follow up in the Series B as well." Qi Xianzhao said.

"I've just met the wise guy myself. He doesn't seem like a good person. Let's withdraw our investment."

"Withdraw our investment?"

"That's right, let's withdraw," Lin Yi said lightly.

"Okay, I'll contact Zhongju's team first thing tomorrow morning and withdraw our investment."

"Okay, have a good rest."

After giving the instructions, Lin Yi hung up the phone. Chen Junye and Gao Renxing froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.

Chen Junye could tell that the person speaking was Lingyun group's CO, Qi Xianzhao!

And he just called the man in front of him President Lin!

Could it be that they had a superior-subordinate relationship?

Even so, Director Qi was already Lingyun Group's COO. Who else could be his superior besides the chairman?

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin, what did you just say? Did you say to withdraw the investment?" Chen Junye said nervously.

"That's right, I withdrew my investment." Lin Yi said with a smile. "But don't worry, I haven't finished my calls yet."

Lin Yi took his phone and dialed Qin Han's number again.

Compared to the dazed Qi Xianzhao, Qin Han's side was more chaotic. There was even a woman's seductive voice in the background, causing Ji Qingyan's face to turn red.

It was obvious that they were playing a multiplayer game again.

"What happened? Why're you calling me in the middle of the night?"

"Did you recently invest in Zhongju Technology? I met their boss today and felt that his IQ was a little embarrassed. Don't participate in their Series B, and withdraw the funds from your Series A as well."

"F*ck, why didn't you say so earlier?" Qin Han scolded, "Did that wise guy offend you? Do you need me to reach out to my contacts and have them blacklisted?"

"That's fine too."

"I'm busy right now. I'll do it after I'm finished with my game tomorrow."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Lin Yi smiled at Chen Junye. "Let's continue talking. Do you have any other identities? Tell me and I'll see if you have the qualifications to sit with me."

Chen Junye was already trembling. His face was ghastly pale.

"You... Who are you..."

"Who am I?" Lin Yi smiled. "It's quite a coincidence that I'm the boss of Lingyun Group. I'm the person who spent 18 billion on the building."

"PFFT!"

Chen Junye almost vomited blood!

"You... you're the boss of Lingyun Group?!"

"That's right." Lin Yi wiped his hands. "Also, I'm the one who asked Sino-Han capital to join in with the investment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the energy to waste his time on you."

Gao Renxing, who was listening by the side, felt his heart skip a beat.

He felt like he and Chen Junye were two retards.

Chen Junye's company had such a bright future because of this man in front of him. Yet, he still had a sense of superiority!

What a retard!

"So... so you were the one who brought the two titans together..."

"I was the one who did it." Lin Yi said. "I suggest you stop playing around and go back to deal with the company."

"No, don't..."

Chen Junye knelt down in front of Lin Yi. "Mr. Lin, please give me another chance. I'm just starting out. If you guys withdraw your investment, I'll be finished!"

"You don't have to beg me for this." Lin Yi said.

"Heaven may forgive your sins, but you'll have to live the rest of your life shouldering them. You'd better pray for yourself until then."

Chen Junye's eyes were blank, as if his soul had been sucked out.

"Junye, you don't have to do this. With your talent, I believe that you will definitely make a comeback," Wang Ziyi said.

Pa!

Chen Junye turned around and slapped Wang Ziyi's face.

"It's all your f*cking fault. You had to feed the giant panda and then go flaunt in front of President Li. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation!"

"You actually hit me!"

Ziyi covered her face. "I was wrong about you!"

"I was wrong about you! It's all your fault! My future is ruined because of you!"

"You're the one who's useless! How dare you blame me!" Wang Ziyi scolded. "You'll never be as good as Director Lin in this life!"

Lin Yi wiped his mouth and left with Ji Qingyan.

It was better for them to deal with this mess themselves.

That afternoon, Lin Yi took Ji Qingyan around the park.

There were a lot of fun rides, but many of them were very intense. Thus, Ji Qingyan didn't dare to try them.

Especially the Ferris wheel. Ji Qingyan really wanted to sit on it.

However, she was afraid. In the end, she decided to keep the Ferris wheel as a side project and come back again before they left.

"Lin Yi, you promised me that you would ride the Ferris wheel with me before we leave. You can't go back on your word."

"I brought you to Disneyland. Why would I be afraid of bringing you on the Ferris Wheel?" Lin Yi said. "You're the one who didn't dare to ride it."

"But I might ride it in a few days, so you can't go back on your word then. You have to join me on it." Ji Qingyan said seriously.

Chapter 305

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

Lin Yi did not know why Ji Qingyan was so obsessed with the Ferris wheel, but he still agreed to it.

It was not a big deal, and there was no reason for him not to agree.

The two watched the world-famous Disney show in the park as night fell, then slowly walked toward the hotel.

"Lin Yi, I need to say a few words about the bedroom allocation tonight."

"Uh, what do you want to say?"

"The big bed belongs to me today."

"Why?" Lin Yi said. "That will depend on your ability."

"Although I didn't study abroad, I got a 8.0 on my IELTS exam. No matter how you look at it, my language ability is better than your broken English, right?"

"Alright then." Lin Yi looked around and saw a girl with a backpack not far away.

"See that girl? If you can get her contact information, the big bed in the bedroom will be yours."

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with a straight face. "Why do you need her contact information?"

"I'm just trying to test your ability. I don't mean anything by it."

"Alright then." Ji Qingyan said confidently. "It's just her contact information. I'll go over now."

Lin Yi sat at the side, not paying too much attention to it.

With Ji Qingyan's social skills and English, it wasn't a problem for her to get this girl's contact information.

After all, there was not that much wariness in an interaction between women.

It could be said that this mission was not difficult at all.

"No, this mission isn't any good. Let's change the requirements."

"HM?"

Lin Yi was sitting on the steps. His butt hadn't even warmed up before he saw Ji Qingyan walking back with a sullen expression.

"What's wrong? You can't even complete such a simple mission? How did you become president?"

"This has nothing to do with me." Ji Qingyan said, "That girl is French, so there's no way to communicate with her. We have to change our target."

"Damn it, you can't even speak French, yet you still have the nerve to call yourself a top student?"

"That's different. French is much harder than English. Moreover, when I was in university, I didn't ever come into contact with this foreign language, so it's not something I'm familiar with." Ji Qingyan said unhappily, "You say it as if you know it."

"What if I do?"

"If you can get her contact information, you can have the big bed tonight."

"I've been waiting for that."

The French girl saw Lin Yi walking over, and her face blushed shyly.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Lin Yi coughed a few times and said in a serious tone, "Ken you speak Chinese?"

Ji Qingyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

He was using this trick again.

"I asked her just now. She doesn't speak Chinese."

"Uhm... no wonder you were so confident."

"Of course, I've already been tricked by you once. If I'm not completely confident in my abilities, why would I make this bet?" Ji Qingyan said proudly. "Today, you can sleep on the sofa. The big bed is mine."

"Beauty, can I have your contact information?"

"Hmm?"

Just as Ji Qingyan turned to leave, she was surprised to hear Lin Yi speak fluent French.

How was this possible?!

He actually spoke French?!

When did he learn to speak it?

"Of course." The French woman was obviously excited and gave Lin Yi her contact information.

Lin Yi waved his phone around and smiled. "Thank you, I'll call you soon."

After getting the contact information, Lin Yi patted Ji Qingyan's shoulder.

"Let's go, your sofa is waving at you." 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Ji Qingyan's head was in a mess as she looked at Lin Yi adorably.

"You… How can you speak French?"

"It's just French, how can it be difficult for me?" Lin Yi shrugged. "I wanted to give you a chance, but God loves me, so I'll have to trouble you to sleep on the sofa."

"Lin Yi, you bully!"

Ji Qingyan pouted her cheeks and stomped her feet. She armed herself with the basic skills of a Huaxian woman and acted shamelessly.

Lin Yi thought that a woman like Ji Qingyan would never do this.

He did not think that she was just an ordinary woman.

"Alright, stop acting shamelessly." Lin Yi said. "You can sleep on the bed tonight."

"Hehe, that's right." Ji Qingyan stood on the stairs and spread her arms. "Lin Yi, carry me back."

"Okay."

Lin Yi smiled and walked over. He bent down and let Ji Qingyan climb on his back.

Lying on Lin Yi's back, Ji Qingyan felt an unprecedented sense of security. No one had ever given her this feeling before.

"Lin Yi, do you have anything to say?" Ji Qingyan asked quietly.

"It's soft, keep it up."

"Soft?"

Ji Qingyan blushed. "Who told you to say that?"

"That's my most honest feeling."

"Hmph, it's so unromantic."

Although she was a billionaire female CEO, there was still a little woman's heart inside Ji Qingyan's body. She liked pink and romantic things.

"Lin Yi, put me down. We're almost at the hotel," Ji Qingyan said quietly.

"So what if we're at the hotel? I'll carry you to the room."

"How could you do that? There are so many people in the hotel. It's so embarrassing. Put me down."

"Not possible. Stay on my back."

Lin Yi didn't care too much as he carried Ji Qingyan to their room.

The latter's face was red as she buried her face into Lin Yi's back. She was too embarrassed to look at anyone.

Ji Qingyan let out a sigh of relief when she reached her room.

"There were so many people in the hotel just now. I don't even dare to go out tomorrow." Ji Qingyan covered her face like a small mole.

"Let me tell you, you don't understand the customs here." Lin Yi said very formally.

"We're both single, so it's normal for me to carry you on my back. On the other hand, most of the men here aren't here with their wives or girlfriends. They're not embarrassed of this fact at all, so why are you so ashamed?"

"How do you know this? You've never been here before."

"Do you even need to ask? What's the point of still casting your line? You've already got the woman, so who'd be willing to come here to spend money?"

Eh…

Although it was a fallacy, why could she not find a point to refute it?

"You only know how to spout nonsense." Ji Qingyan stood up. "I'm going to wash up, but don't forget you already said that you're going to give me the big bed."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to you."

"That's more like it."

After washing up, the two of them chatted for a while more before Ji Qingyan returned to her room to rest.

However, she couldn't fall asleep on the bed.

"He carried me into the room yesterday, isn't it selfish to leave him outside today?

"I'll give him a blanket, what if he catches a cold?"

Thinking of this, Ji Qingyan got up and found a blanket, then got ready to pass it to Lin Yi.

Click!

Ji Qingyan opened the door and was surprised to see Lin Yi dressed neatly while standing at the door.

"You're going out?"

Chapter 306

"Uhm... . ."

"I think it's a pretty nice night, so I thought I'd go out for a walk." Lin Yi said.

"You're up to something, aren't you?" Ji Qingyan said suspiciously.

"I can't help it, her charm was too strong. That French girl asked me out to admire the moon together, and I couldn't refuse her, so I could only reluctantly agree." Lin Yi sighed. "It was too hard for me."

"Don't you dare!"

Ji Qingyan pinched her waist. "I'm telling you, don't go anywhere today. Just stay in your room!"

Ji Qingyan's chest heaved up and down in anger. It had only been a short while, yet she was already trying to hook up with him!

This was outrageous!

"Eh, you're not jealous, are you?"

Ji Qingyan blushed. "Why would I be jealous? I'm just afraid that you'll be in danger! Just stay in the hotel and don't go anywhere."

"Alright, I won't go. I'll stay here."

"That's more like it."

Ji Qingyan returned to the room, but within a few minutes, she stomped out again.

"Why did you come out again instead of sleeping?"

"I was afraid that you'd sneak out and come to the room."

"I really didn't expect you to be such a person. I think you're just craving for my body." 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"Bah, bah, bah, you stink. Why would I want it?"Ji Qingyan said unhappily. "Come with me into the room."

"Uh, okay."

Inside the room, Ji Qingyan covered Lin Yi with two layers of blankets and pointed at him.

"You sleep here tonight. I'll watch you from the bed."

Lin Yi "..."

When a woman was ruthless, there really was nothing a man could do.

Lin Yi stretched lazily. "Alright then, I'll sleep here today."

"You can't sleep here either."

Lin Yi slept on the ground while Ji Qingyan lay on the side of the bed. Her eyes were glued to Lin Yi like she was watching a Korean drama.

Lin Yi didn't care too much. He'd been shopping all day, and he'd been wanting to sleep for a long time.

"Ah!"

It was late at night, and a scream suddenly broke the silence in the room.

"Ah..." Ji Qingyan sat up abruptly, her forehead covered in a cold sweat.

"Were you dreaming again?"Lin Yi asked, his eyes hazy. "Did you dream that you jumped off a building, or did you dream that you fell off a cliff?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Ji Qingyan's face turned pale, "I dreamt that there were a few tigers chasing me, and I had nowhere to run, so I jumped off a cliff. The dream felt so real, and by butt even hurts after jumping... Huh? How did you know that I dreamed of jumping off a cliff?"

"It'd be weird if it didn't hurt."

Lin Yi did not bother teasing her. "Look at where you are."

Ji Qingyan looked around, only to find that she wasn't on the bed, but on the ground.

"W-why am I here?"

"Why do you think you are here?" Lin Yi said, speechless.

"You fell asleep on your side, and then you fell off the bed. You still have the nerve to ask for the reason?"

Ji Qingyan, "..."

This... this was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, the lights in the room were off, so he couldn't see her face. Otherwise, she would have to find a hole to hide in.

"Then I'll go back to sleep. You go back to sleep too."

"Go back to sleep for what?" Lin Yi waved his hand and pulled Ji Qingyan into his arms. "Save yourself the trouble of falling off again and just sleep here."

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Don't move!" Lin Yi threatened. "Or I'll tickle you."

Ji Qingyan didn't move anymore. Her body tensed up as she felt Lin Yi's warm breath. She was extremely nervous.

It was just like what the PE teacher had said back then. Her body was made of steel and she couldn't bend it.

"Sleep properly. Why are you squirming around like a caterpillar?"

"I, I..."

Ji Qingyan stuttered for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong? Tell me if you have something to say."

"I, I fell pretty hard just now, so my butt hurts," Ji Qingyan said pitifully, her tears about to fall.

"Pffttt!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Isn't that simple? I'll just massage it for you," Lin Yi complained. "There's so much meat on it, so even though the bed is pretty high up, it shouldn't hurt too much, right?"

"No!"

Ji Qingyan sat up straight. "I'll rub it myself."

"Then you do that. I'm going back to sleep."

Lin Yi's drowsiness soon caught up to him. He went to sleep in a few minutes.

Ji Qingyan was left alone, puffing her cheeks angrily as she rubbed her butt.

The next morning, JI Qingyan woke up with dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she hadn't slept well the whole night.

"Does it still hurt?" Lin Yi asked.

"Much better, but I didn't sleep well. I want to sleep for a while more." Ji Qingyan said, pouting.

"Go to sleep. We'll go out once you wake up."

"Give me your phone."

"What do you want my phone for?"

"Give it to me first."

Lin Yi didn't think too much about it and gave the phone to Ji Qingyan.

"Hmm? Where's the woman's contact information?"

"Which woman?"

"The French woman we met last night."

"I deleted it a long time ago."

"You didn't talk to her?"

"She's French. Why would I talk to her?"

"Lin Yi, you're trying to trick me again. You're just trying to trick me into going with you..."

"Going with me to do what?"

"Bah, bah, bah. I'm not speaking to you."

Ji Qingyan closed the door angrily and prepared to go to sleep.

Maybe it was because she didn't sleep well last night, or maybe she was too tired, but she slept until that afternoon.

The two didn't have any plans to go out anymore. Instead, they walked around the streets, ate some local delicacies, then returned to the hotel.

Over the next few days, Lin Yi took Ji Qingyan to the other theme parks in Orlando.

They went to all the places they could.

At first, Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry, but seeing that the Orlando trip was almost over and He Yuanyuan still hadn't found out anything about Shen Tianzhuo, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel anxious.

If she still couldn't find anything soon, they would have to go to Miami next door.

"Damn it, I'll give you one more day. If you can't dig up anything, I'll deduct your salary!" Lin Yi thought to himself.

After the day's journey, the two of them slowly walked around after dinner. Ji Qingyan said,

"Lin Yi, our Orlando trip is almost over. Let's go back, but if you have other places you want to visit, I can accompany you. You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of the company's business."

"I originally planned to take you to Miami after Orlando."

"Sure," Ji Qingyan agreed readily. "Miami is a famous seaside city, and the business at Wangjiang Dock is expanding. You can learn from it."

"That's what I was thinking," Lin Yi said with a smile, but he was thinking to himself. "Hey Yuanyuan, if you don't find out more about Shen Tianzhuo, I won't be able to hold on much longer!"

"It's settled then. We'll leave for Miami tomorrow."

"Okay."

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz...

Lin Yi's phone rang, and he found that it was a message from He Yuanyuan.

He Yuanyuan, "I tried my best with Tianzhuo. Should I send the information to your email?"

Lin Yi was excited. He truly could get anything he wanted!

Lin Yi, "Sure, do it as soon as possible."

He Yuanyuan, "Okay, by the way, his wife's name is Mu Shumin, and her period comes between the fourth and tenth of every month."

Chapter 307

Lin Yi didn't know what to say!

You really did investigate thoroughly!

Lin Yi didn't reply to He Yuanyuan's message, nor did he read the information on Shen Tianzhuo.

He already had the information, and it was up to him to decide when to take action.

However, before the plan started, he still had to make some preparations.

Ji Qingyan walked slowly by the side, and noticed that Lin Yi hadn't said anything. He had been fiddling with his phone, so she didn't disturb him.

If it wasn't due to work, he wouldn't have such an expression on his face.

The two of them returned to the hotel and she saw that Lin Yi still wasn't saying anything. He was frowning and didn't even tease her. Ji Qingyan wasn't used to this behavior.

"Do you want to take a shower?" Lin Yi said, "If you want to take a shower, I'll go un later."

"It's okay, you can go first."

Noticing that Lin Yi was distracted by work, Ji Qingyan stopped joking with him. "I'll get your pajamas."

Lin Yi nodded and took the pajamas before entering the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, Lin Yi sat on the toilet with one hand on his chin, thinking about how to trick Ji Qingyan.

First of all, the purpose of this trip was to bring her here for fun, so he couldn't reveal his intentions.

She wouldn't be angry, but the atmosphere would change. He had to ensure she had a thoroughly pleasant experience.

Despite this, his main priority was to go to Washington, because the headquarters of Microsoft was there. He had to think of a suitable reason to get Ji Qingyan to follow him there. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Lin Yi Thought for a moment and said in his heart, "Guan Ya seems to be able to do it."

After thinking about it, Lin Yi casted Guan Ya in the female supporting role.

Even so, he still needed a supporting actor to play along with him.

Yuanyuan could, but she wasn't the best person for the job.

After excluding her, he felt that Qi Xianzhao was the most suitable candidate.

Lin Yi sent a message to both of them after he decided on the supporting actors.

After everything was settled, he took a quick shower and walked out of the bathroom.

"Have you been too tired recently? Business should be done slowly, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"It's fine, I'll be fine." Lin Yi said seriously.

Ji Qingyan didn't feel good. She couldn't help him at all after all that he'd done to her.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

At that moment, Ji Qingyan's phone rang. It was Guan Ya.

"I'm going in to take a call. If you're tired, lie down for a while. I'll massage your shoulders later."

"Okay, go ahead."

Lin Yi fell onto the sofa after Ji Qingyan returned to her room.

Shoulder massage?

Wasn't that a little too nice?

He felt a little sorry for Ji Qingyan!

Forget it, forget it. Who will suffer if not you? Me?

Twenty minutes later, Ji Qingyan walked out with her phone in her hand. She had a conflicted expression on her face.

She found Lin Yi in the middle of a video call with Qi Xianzhao.

"President Lin, didn't I tell you earlier that the company's been busy lately? Why'd you run off to America?"

Ji Qingyan was taken aback. Qi Xianzhao had always been a kind and gentle person, and it seemed like he'd never lose his temper. Why was he talking to Lin Yi like that?

He was obviously angry.

"Didn't I give you all the authority? What do you need me for? What do I need you for?"

"I'm the COO of the company now, and it's not like I get paid for nothing. You gave me this job, but I can't handle it at all!" Qi Xianzhao said indignantly.

"Besides, you're the boss of the company. The company is following up on several projects, but you're out enjoying yourself. Have you thought about how I and the other employees feel?"

"I'm the boss and I'm paying you guys a salary. What do your feelings have to do with me? !"

"I don't have anything else to say. Anyway, come back soon. The company is already so busy. You have to come back!"

"Bullsh*t. I can't go back anytime soon. I still have to stay here for a few days," Lin Yi said. "If you can do it, then do it. If you can't do it, then leave. I don't believe that the Lingyun Group won't be able to function without you!"

"Fine, then I won't do it. It's not like I'm starving to death out there!"

"Wait, wait!"

Ji Qingyan couldn't sit still anymore. She ran over and snatched Lin Yi's phone.

"Brother Qi, calm down. It's my fault. Your President Lin came here to keep me company."

Ji Qingyan felt guilty. She didn't think that Lingyun would be so busy.

Lin Yi had given up so much for her.

No wonder Lin Yi frowned and didn't say anything after he came back. They must have gotten into an argument back then.

Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at Qi Xian Zhao in the video.

"What the f*ck, he's a natural-born actor! His acting skills are too awesome! I need to give him a drumstick when I get back!"

"Since he's going out with President Ji, I won't say anything else."

"Don't worry, we'll be heading back soon. We won't affect the company's work any longer."

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll just work a little more."

"It's fine, I'll make the arrangements. Just don't get the wrong idea of Lin Yi. He's a man with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. He doesn't have any bad intentions."

"I know."

"That's good then. That's all for today. I'll talk to him after this."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Ji Qingyan was touched. "The company is so busy. Why are you still saying that it's nothing? You're making him angry."

"I wanted to have fun with you. Besides, the company's business isn't as important as yours." Lin Yi pretended to be angry.

"It's okay as long as you have me in your heart." Ji Qingyan held Lin Yi's hand. "I'd be happy even if you took me around the streets, let alone to America."

"How can that be? The streets can't compare to Orlando." Lin Yi said

"That means you don't understand women." Ji Qingyan said, embarrassed.

"How can I not understand?"

"It doesn't matter where you go. What matters is who you go with." Ji Qingyan said, blushing. "I'm happy that you have time to accompany me. After all, you still have a lot of things to do."

"Fine, whatever you say."

Lin Yi lowered his head, his face still expressionless. His acting skills were comparable to the best actors.

"Oh right, what did Guan Ya call you about?" Lin Yi asked

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about me," Ji Qingyan explained.

"Tell me, what is it? I can tell that you're lying." Lin Yi said

"She said that there are several professional design institutes in Washington that specialize in outdoor design, especially in the construction and related aspects of the dock. They have a lot of unique insights, so she wants to go visit them with me."

"Go where? We're here to play, so what work are you busy with?" Lin Yi said. "This Guan Ya is really something. I'll have to teach her a lesson."

"No! We have to go against you on this!"

Ji Qingyan said with certainty, "This is the Wangjiang Dock project. We have to take it seriously. We can't be careless!"

"What kind of deal is this? We are coming out to enjoy ourselves, but we are getting delayed by them."

"Alright, I know what you're thinking. I'll remember this."

"Alright then, we'll go to Washington together tomorrow. This is our family's business anyway, so it's only natural that we put in some effort."

"What are you talking about?" Ji Qingyan blushed. "We're not from the same family."

Lin Yi pinched Ji Qingyan's cute face. "Since it's all arranged, go wash up and rest early."

"Okay." Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi and said seriously, "Thank you for sacrificing so much to be with me."

"That's nothing. It's what I should do. We all need to have our priorities."

This time, Ji Qingyan didn't call Lin Yi any names. There was a layer of mist in her bright eyes.

"There's no need to return to our previous day's arrangement. I'll give you a chance. Let's both sleep in the bedroom."

Chapter 308

"Are you sure?"

Ji Qingyan nodded shyly. "Yeah."

Lin Yi didn't respond, but instead started fiddling with his fingers as if he was calculating something.

"What are you doing?"

"I just did a rough calculation. It's a safe day today, I don't think I need to take any precautions."

"Safe?"

Ji Qingyan's face turned even redder. She was embarrassed and angry at the same time.

"What are you thinking of? If you continue like this, you'll sleep on the sofa tonight!"

"Okay, I'll set aside the evil thoughts first."

"Don't just set them aside, dismiss them at once!"

After that, Ji Qingyan took her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water could be heard. Lin Yi leaned against the sofa and opened his email, reading the information on Shen Tianzhuo repeatedly.

The profile consisted of three parts.

...

The first part detailed his personality and hobbies, which included all of his personal attributes.

From his favorite sports and food, to his personality and even the places he often visited on vacation, everything was clearly listed.

The second part detailed his work characteristics, which showed a clear hands-on style.

He took only two years to become a vice president of the department after joining Microsoft.

He then moved around the various departments, becoming the senior vice president of Microsoft three years ago.

Yuanyuan even gave him high praise in her report.

This was the ceiling of a Huaxian working at Microsoft!

Lin Yi didn't have much to say in front of such a person.

Getting this guy would be awesome!

The third point mentioned his lifestyle.

Lin Yi discovered that Shen Tianzhuo's charitable donations accounted for almost one-twentieth of his total expenses. With his current salary, that was a very high figure.

Most of the places he supported were in the poor mountainous areas in the Zhejiang province.

This seemed to be a new breakthrough for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked down again. There was one more thing that was worth looking at.

Shen Tianzhuo had been working at Microsoft for eight years, but he had been coming back to Huaxia almost every year since four years ago. Apart from visiting his family, he also gave lectures at various universities.

The schools he went to were very interesting as well. They weren't famous schools like Tsinghua or Yan University, just ordinary schools like 211 and 985. This was pretty interesting.

Lin Yi glanced at the rest of the contents, then closed the document. He rested one hand on his head as he fell into deep thought.

According to the information, Shen Tianzhuo had a lot of traits he could exploit. He wasn't a blockhead.

However, winning him over would be a problem.

Lu Ying and Sun Fuyu had chased after him for two days, but he didn't even give them a chance to meet. It was enough to prove that he was a serious person. After all, Lu Ying's legs were very attractive.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi gave up on his usual tactics. He had to take a curved path to save the country when facing someone like Tianzhuo.

"Eh?! When did you get out?"

While thinking about Shen Tianzhuo, Lin Yi was shocked to see Ji Qingyan standing in front of him in her pajamas.

"I've been standing here for a minute." Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with interest.

"It seems like you're not sleepy at all since I could daydream about your life at this time."

"Ah!"

Lin Yi lifted her up by the waist. "I wasn't sleepy just now, but now I'm sleepy."

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"The floor is slippery, it won't be good if you fall down," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"You have an ulterior motive."

"Yes."

Ji Qingyan puffed up her cheeks. "What a hooligan, you don't have any shame."

Lin Yi carried her back to her room and prepared to sleep when he saw how cute she was.

After the lights were turned off, Ji Qingyan knelt on the bed. "I'm giving you the bed as a reward. You have to be more obedient."

"My head will definitely be obedient. I won't move it at all."

"Who said anything about your head? I'm talking about your hands and feet!"Ji Qingyan said. "Don't move them."

"The goddess in the hearts of all the male employees in the Chaoyang Group is lying next to me. If I don't move, it'll be the biggest insult to your looks and figure!"

"Don't try to fool me, I won't fall for it." Ji Qingyan was already resisting, and she said unwaveringly.

"If you dare to move, I'll sue you and send you to jail."

"Do you really have the heart to make your child grow up with no father?"

"No father…"

"Lin Yi, if you continue like this, I won't let you sleep on the bed."

"The main concern is that your request is too much. I can't help it anyway."

Ji Qingyan thought for a moment. "Then you can only hug my stomach. Don't have any other bad thoughts."

"No problem."

The two of them lay down with their clothes on. As Lin Yi hugged her gently, Ji Qingyan's heart pounded. This was such a bold move.

As she listened to Lin Yi's even breathing, Ji Qingyan's nervous mood slowly relaxed.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and steadiness filled her, and she slept exceptionally soundly.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, he found Ji Qingyan curled up in his arms.

Her skin was fair, and her eyelashes were long. Her long and tight thighs were almost exposed, like a lazy cat, making one feel the urge to kiss her.

Ji Qingyan opened her eyes as if she felt Lin Yi looking at her.

She had already been awake, but she didn't want to get up.

"Wake up. We have to go to Washington soon."

"Okay." Ji Qingyan nodded, her face still blushing.

After getting up, the two of them packed up and went to the airport. They bought a set of women's formal attire at the duty-free shop.

Because they didn't want to talk about work this time, they didn't bring any formal clothes, so they could only buy a set now.

After buying the clothes, the two of them didn't waste any time and took a plane to Washington

The two of them met Guan Ya at the hotel near the airport. The latter had been waiting here for a long time. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Guan Ya's outfit always carried a hint of power and sharpness.

Her red dress was matched with black silk and high heels, and in terms of height, she was almost as tall as Ji Qingyan, who was wearing flats.

"Director Guan, sorry for making you wait." Ji Qingyan said, embarrassed.

"I just got here, too." Guan Ya said.

"Director Ji, what are your plans? We can take a day off and start tomorrow."

Guan Ya didn't know what Lin Yi was planning. She only needed to be a useful accessory to him during this trip.

Ji Qingyan was silent for a few seconds. "If it's possible, let's start today and try to finish early."

"Alright, I have plenty of time here. I'll follow Director Ji's arrangements."

"Director Guan, please wait for me for a moment. I'll go and change my clothes."

After Ji Qingyan changed into the uniform that she had just bought, she looked like a different person. Her temperament was outstanding and she had a domineering and beautiful aura that surpassed all others.

Guan Ya secretly sighed. Standing next to such a woman, she was sure to be overshadowed.

"Do you want to come with us? It's your business, after all." Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

"I'm not interested. You guys can do it. I might as well play my games in the hotel."

"Alright, you've been tired these days. Rest in the hotel."

Ji Qingyan knew that Lin Yi wouldn't go, so she didn't have much hope when she asked this question. After seeing that her clothes were fine, she left with Guan Ya.

After confirming that the two of them had left, Lin Yi took a taxi to Microsoft's headquarters.

Forty minutes later, Lin Yi got out of the car in front of the main entrance of Microsoft's headquarters.

He saw the magnificent headquarters and the rushing crowd.

Lin Yi sighed in his heart. "This is a real f*king financial unicorn!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yi rubbed his palms together.

The plan to overtake at the corner starts now!

Chapter 309

All kinds of people from all over the world could be seen here when one walked into Microsoft's headquarters.

There were even more people from Huaxia.

Lin Yi looked around before walking toward the front desk.

"Hello, are you applying for a job?"

Seeing that Lin Yi was here for a job, a white girl stood up and handed him a form.

"Please fill out the form and go back to wait for our notice."

Lin Yi didn't think that he'd be just in time for Microsoft's recruitment season. It was much more convenient that way.

Lin Yi took the form and filled it out briefly before handing it back to the white girl.

The white girl glanced at it. She didn't pay much attention at first, but when she saw the job application and salary, she lost her composure.

"You want to apply for the position of executive vice president?! You want a salary of 3.5 million US dollars?"

"That's right," Lin Yi said.

"I know you think it's unbelievable, but I hope that you can hand this report to your president. I think he'll be interested."

The white girl obviously didn't believe him. Although she was a receptionist, she had still been qualified enough to work at Microsoft.

...

"I'm sorry, I won't hand in materials like this because there are a lot of swindlers like you who come here every day."

"I know you don't believe me, but I have the ability to improve the chip's original computational architecture and improve the operating system's smoothness and stability. Isn't that worth 3.5 million a year?"

"Sir, I think you're lying. God won't forgive you if you continue like this. I have a lot of Huaxian colleagues who are very humble and hardworking. I hope you won't ruin my good impression of the Huaxians."

"If you don't believe me, I don't mind showing you."

Lin Yi had thought of this before he came.

If he wanted to enter the company in the shortest amount of time and get in touch with Shen Tianzhuo, he had to show some real skills.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to waste on you."

What the f*ck?!

Was there such a big difference between the aesthetic standards of foreigners and Huaxians?

'There is no way to use my looks anymore!'

He was losing his mind!

"Kelly, what are you guys arguing about?"

Just as Lin Yi was about to launch another attack, he heard someone speak behind him.

He turned around and saw two people standing behind him. Coincidentally, both of them were Huaxian.

The person who spoke was a Huaxian woman. She was wearing a white suit and black high heels. She had a badge around her neck and was very serious.

Her English name was Jessica, and she was the vice president's secretary.

The other person's English name was Carson, an intermediate engineer in the technical department.

"He's here for the job, but he's applying for the position of executive vice president. I was just about to chase him away."

"Applying for the position of executive vice president?" Jessica was stunned for a while.

He didn't look like he was messing around. Huaxian people still had a kind of self-respect and rationality.

Even so, it didn't make sense for him to be so handsome.

Jessica took Lin Yi's information and glanced at it.

"Mr. Lin, given your age, I have doubts about your ability. I hope you will have some self-respect."

"What's wrong? Can't I be awesome despite my young age?" Lin Yi started speaking in Huaxian.

"When I was young, I peed on the electric cooker that was on fire. My mom said that I would definitely grow up and do great things back then."

Jessica, "…"

Your mom was lying to you!

"Anyway, I have my own way of judging candidates, and I think you're joking with me." Jessica also started speaking Huaxian.

"What's your way of judging?"

Jessica glanced at Lin Yi, then pointed at the IT elites in the building in a hurry. "How can you compare to them?"

Lin Yi, "?"

"How? Apart from not wearing a suit and not having a computer, I'm not lacking in any way."

"You're much worse" Jessica said:

"There are ten people there, but none of them have a full head of hair like you do. How dare you still claim that your skills are good!"

Ugh…

It was a f*cking irrefutable reason.

"There's something you might not know. This is a wig. When I was three years old, I went bald because of my computer skills, so I do possess impressive abilities."

"Jessica, stop talking nonsense with him. Just chase him away," Carson said from the side.

"I think we can give him a chance." Jessica smiled. "This person is a bit special."

"What's special about him? Why can't I tell?"

"He's very handsome."

Carson, "…"

Lin Yi held Jessica's hand. "No wonder you became the CEO's secretary. Your abilities are pretty good, unlike your colleague who's gone blind at such a young age."

"What are you saying?!"

"Alright, stop talking."

Carson was about to lose his temper when Jessica stopped him. She turned to Lin Yi and asked, "Can you let go of my hand now?" 𝑙𝑖𝑏𝓇𝘦𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Uh… Sorry, it's an occupational disease."

Jessica was starting to regret what she said earlier.

What kind of IT engineer would touch someone else's hand?!

Did my hand look like a keyboard or a mouse?

"Due to your special circumstances, I need to give you a simple assessment," Jessica said.

"Only after you pass the assessment will I help you hand in the entry materials."

"Of course, no problem," Lin Yi said. "Where is the assessment?"

"Our work structure is relatively simple. There aren't that many rules. Just find a random place to sit down," Jessica said. "How about the sofa over there?"

"The sofa is fine too. I'm more familiar with that place."

Jessica, "?"

That sounded weird.

Seeing Jessica and Carson sitting down on the sofa with Lin Yi, and even pulling out their computers, many people looked at them curiously.

"Hey, Carson, is he your friend? What is he doing? Is he writing code here?"

The person who spoke was a Caucasian young man. He was about 30 years old, but he was bald.

Carson smiled. "This guy is here to apply for the position of executive vice president. He even said that he has the ability to improve the computational architecture of the chip to improve the smoothness and stability of the operating system. Don't you think he's amazing?"

"Haha, my God, the youngest vice president of our company is already over 40 years old. With his age, he might not even be comparable to a junior engineer."

"I don't know about that, but he said it himself, so I'm here to watch the show."

"What the two of you are doing is wrong," a black man said.

"Don't tell me that because he is Huaxian, we should make an exception and give him a chance? People like him should be immediately chased away."

"We also wanted to chase him away, but he shamelessly stayed on. There's nothing I can do." Carson shrugged and said.

"Does he think that just because he has some skills, he is very powerful?" The black guy said exaggeratedly.

"Oh my God, has there been a mistake? This is Microsoft. Even PhD students from famous universities can't make it here."

"I don't know. If he wants to try, then give him a chance. Let him understand how small he is, and then he will leave," Carson said.

"Sigh, I've lost my good impression of this braggart."

Jessica frowned when she saw more and more people gathering around.

"Let's start. Don't waste time."

Lin Yi opened the computer that Jessica borrowed and said casually,

"I think it's better for you to call someone better. I'm afraid that they won't be able to understand the code I write."

Chapter 310

"Huh?"

The programmers were all stunned. No one expected Lin Yi to say something like that.

"Mr. Lin, you're going a bit too far, aren't you?" Carson said.

"A lot of the people here are senior engineers. Do you think we can't understand the code you wrote?"

"It's possible that you won't be able to understand it, so you should call someone more skilled to save time."

"Hehehe…"

Carson laughed coldly. "You'd better write it out first so that we don't waste our leader's time."

Lin Yi opened the console and typed out the code with one hand.

Why did he do it with one hand?

Of course, it was to show off, otherwise he wouldn't be able to flex how skilled he was.

Jessica was shocked when she saw Lin Yi's fingers tapping non-stop on the keyboard like he was playing the piano.

He was so good-looking that he couldn't possibly be single.

The programmers standing next to him were also shocked by Lin Yi's typing speed. At the very least, they didn't have this kind of ability.

...

"What's written there? Is it random code?" The black guy said, "I can't understand it at all. I've never seen such code before."

"Me neither. I think it's all incorrect code," the white guy said.

Carson looked at Lin Yi. "Mr. Lin, I hope you don't make a scene. My colleagues have already said that the code you typed out is all wrong, so you can leave now."

"I've already said that you won't be able to understand it, yet you still refuse to admit it."

"The code you wrote is all wrong. How can we check it?"

"Wait!"

Jessica stopped Carson. "I think I've seen this code before."

"What! You've seen it before?"

"I've seen Director Shen write something similar, but it's not quite the same."Jessica said, "I think we should report this to Director Shen."

"How is that possible?!" Carson said, "Are you mistaken? After all, you are not a computer science major."

"Just because I've never eaten pork before doesn't mean that I've never seen a pig run before. Although I'm not a computer science major, don't question my intelligence. I've worked for so many years, so I know a thing or two."

Although Jessica said this, the others didn't care.

Computer programming was a very profound thing. Did it really look like it was useful? She must be mistaken!

"What are you all doing here?"

Just as everyone was laughing at Lin Yi, a middle-aged man appeared behind them.

The middle-aged man's appearance made the atmosphere become serious.

"Director Shen!"

Lin Yi raised his head abruptly and was surprised to find that the person standing in front of him was Shen Tianzhuo!

He didn't even need to look at his badge as Lin Yi had already memorized his appearance.

Shen Tianzhuo kept his hair in a simple 30-70 split, and his clothes were a little out of date, perfectly fitting Lin Yi's stereotypical impression of an academic superstar.

Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile. He'd thought that it would take him some time to meet him, but this was such a coincidence.

"What are you all doing here?" Shen Tianzhuo asked.

"Director Shen, this guy's name is Lin Yi. He wants to apply for the position of executive vice president, and he emphasized that he has outstanding abilities and is qualified for this position, so we…"

"What a joke!"

Shen Tianzhuo snorted coldly, "How old is he? You believe that? I'm so disappointed in you."

"Got it, Vice President."

"Hehe…"

Carson laughed coldly, "Alright, Director Shen has already spoken, which means that you have been sentenced to death. You should pack up your things and leave. You typed out a bunch of useless code so don't embarrass yourself."

"Whether it's useless code or not, you should let him take a look."

Lin Yi turned the computer over and directed it at Shen Tianzhuo.

Originally, Shen Tianzhuo wasn't in the mood to look at it, but after glancing at it, he froze on the spot as if there were nails under his feet.

"Is… is this the code you wrote?!"

"Of course, they all saw it."

Seeing those lines of code, Tianzhuo was like a woman staring at a diamond ring. He couldn't even block the light from entering his eyes!

"I've thought about this code for a long time, but I still couldn't crack it. I didn't expect you to write it. You're a genius!"

Hiss…

Jessica, Carson, and the onlookers were all shocked by Shen Tianzhuo's words!

The senior vice president of his company could be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people!

He actually gave such a high evaluation!

That meant that there was no problem with the code!

However, he was only in his twenties, so how could he have such a high talent?

Oh my God!

The Huaxian people were too smart!

"Then do I have the qualifications to apply for the position of executive vice president now?"

Shen Tianzhuo's expression froze. "This is not the place to talk, Let's go to my office to talk."

"No problem."

The target had taken the bait, and Lin Yi wasn't going to stay here any longer.

Shen Tianzhuo's office wasn't very big, and it was a little messy.

"I wasn't done cleaning up just now. Don't mind me, Mr. Lin."

"It's fine. It's the same in my study," Lin Yi said with a smile as he looked at Shen Tianzhuo carefully.

There was a picture of him with his wife on the desk, with their child in the middle.

It was obvious that he was a good family man.

"What would you like to drink, Mr. Lin?" Shen Tianzhuo asked politely. "I'll get Jessica to prepare it."

"Do you have any yangmei soup?" Lin Yi smiled. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

Shen Tianzhuo's eyes lit up, as if he'd found a kindred spirit.

"Do you like yangmei soup too, Mr. Lin?"

"Although I like it a lot, my favorite is still the yangmei soup from my hometown mountain. I can't get it anywhere else, so I can only force myself to drink whatever I can get my hands on."

"Is Mr. Lin from Wen City?" Shen Tianzhuo was surprised.

"Are you from Wen City too?"

"I'm from Wen City, Zhejiang Province."

"I didn't expect to meet someone from my hometown here. What a coincidence." Lin Yi smiled. "It'll be more harmonious if I work here in the future."

"That's for sure. On behalf of Microsoft, I welcome you to join us."

"Chairman Shen, don't say that yet. Do you have the ability to hire for my position?"

There was no difference between a senior vice president and an executive vice president.

If Lin Yi wanted to join, it wouldn't be up to Shen Tianzhuo to decide.

"Mr. Lin, you are here to apply for the position of executive vice president. You should know the importance of this position. It's not something that I can decide, and it's not something that the chairman can decide alone. Therefore, it won't happen overnight."

"That makes sense." Lin Yi nodded.

"There's nothing to say about your skills, but there's no shortage of people in the r&d department. I'll arrange for you to be the vice president of the global marketing department, but this will only be temporary. With your ability, as long as you work hard, the position of executive vice president will be yours sooner or later."

"Sigh…"

Lin Yi sighed. "I do have a passion, and I'm willing to work hard, but at the end of the day, this isn't my home…"

Chapter 311

Shen Tianzhuo clearly heard Lin Yi's voice.

"Mr. Lin, do you still want to return to the country?"

"Don't you have any thoughts of doing the same?" Lin Yi asked.

"With your current level, you don't even need to return to the country to look for new opportunities. Even while you're here, there will be countless people coming to visit you."

Shen Tianzhuo smiled bitterly. "That is indeed true. A few days ago, there was a research institute called Longxin that sent some people to look for me, but I didn't give them the chance to meet."

Lin Yi's expression didn't change. He didn't give Shen Tianzhuo any clues.

"You didn't even give them the chance to meet. I guess you don't have any plans to return to the country."

"It's not that I don't have any plans. No matter what, I'm from Huaxia. No matter how good this place is, it's not my home." Shen Tianzhuo sighed.

"Just like you said, no matter how delicious the Yangmei soup outside is, it can't compare to the taste of home."

"Then why do you still stay here?"

"Because I want to do academic research," Shen Tianzhuo said.

"I can find countless people who share the same interests here. No one will interfere with my work, and it will allow me to release my ability to the greatest extent. This is what I want the most."

"Do you think that the domestic academic level is not good enough?"

...

"That's not true. It's just that the environment is not very good," Shen Tianzhuo said.

"You know, R&D is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money is invested, it can all go down the drain. If there's no one to support it, the project won't be funded, and the research won't be able to proceed. I'm not a sociable person, and I don't want to waste my time on relationships, so the plan has been put on hold until now."

Lin Yi didn't know if this was true or not, but he nodded. Although he wasn't actively involved in the research field, he had a certain understanding of the situation they faced.

Just like what Shen Tianzhuo said, no one was willing to throw money into a bottomless pit without first seeing the benefits.

Furthermore, the problem with relationships was a tale as old as time.

This was indeed a hindrance to academic development.

Tianzhuo saw that Lin Yi didn't say anything and smiled.

"You're the most talented young man I've seen in all these years. With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get a salary of ten million a year back home, yet you came here for the same reason as me."

Lin Yi chuckled. "There is indeed a reason for that."

"That's why we'll stay here for the time being. We'll go back when we have the chance." Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile.

"And I've decided that when I go back, it won't just be me. I want to bring my team back with me."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Shen Tianzhuo to say something like that.

Wouldn't it be great if he and his team were poached and brought back?

Lin Yi put his hands behind his head and sighed.

"If there was a place that didn't restrict my funding and gave me enough freedom in research, I'd want to go back now."

Shen Tianzhuo laughed.

"That's easy to say, but it's too hard to do. To be honest, I've been waiting for this opportunity all these years. After all, the moon in my hometown will always be brighter than the moon in other countries."

"Hahaha, that's so true…"

Lin Yi felt that his probing was beginning to bear fruit.

Shen Tianzhuo wasn't a person who worshiped foreign things, but rather, lived a clean and pure life.

If someone could provide him with such an environment, he might have left a long time ago.

When Lin Yi thought about it carefully, wasn't this person himself?

If he wanted money, equipment, and an independent environment, where else could he find such a boss?

Despite this, it was not the time to lay his cards on the table.

When it came to a person like Shen Tianzhuo, one had to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

He had to get to know Shen Tianzhuo well before he could make a move.

"Boss Shen, what project are you working on now?"

"The company has asked my team to head the development of a new security system. The program that you wrote is exactly what we need."

"In truth, my strengths are all centered on the chip field. The program that I wrote was also achieved by squeezing out the computational power of the chip. Therefore, I can help you in this aspect."

"That's even better. We'll be in charge of the technical structure at the top, and you'll be in charge of the chip's internal programming. I believe that this project will be solved very soon in this way."

Lin Yi nodded. "I have the same confidence, but you just said that the project you're in charge of was assigned to you by the company. Do you have your own project?"

"My current research direction is mainly centered on computer vision, and it's related to lithography machines. You're an expert in the chip field, so you should know something about this."

"I know a little, but I don't know much."

Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

By now, he had pretty much understood everything about Shen Tianzhuo.

Just like Lu Ying and Sun Fuyu had said, Tianzhuo was indeed an expert in this field. He was indeed the most important factor in their goal of making the lithography machine.

The next step was to get close to him, and once they got along well, they could steal him and his team away.

Lin Yi wasn't sure if he could succeed, though. After all, he was a big shot, and his intelligence was unquestionable.

The rest was up to fate.

Despite this, Lin Yi had an inexplicable confidence that it wouldn't be a problem to take down Shen Tianzhuo.

If he couldn't take down Shen Tianzhuo himself, he'd have to abuse his looks and think of a way to get along with his wife.

It wouldn't be too much of a problem for his wife to fill his head with pillow talk.

Still, this was looking at the next drift right after overtaking a car on a curve.

He still had to focus on the task at hand, or else he'd easily flip the car.

"Then that's it for now. I still have to cook dinner for my wife tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow." Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile

"No problem. At our level, we aren't time-boxed." Lin Yi said with a smile

After a brief chat, Lin Yi left the Microsoft building.

Looking at Lin Yi's back as he left, Shen Tianzhuo nodded in satisfaction and muttered to himself,

"The young man is not bad, he's quite a family man, and he has the same style as me back then."

Coming out of the Microsoft building, Lin Yi stretched his back.

Today's progress was beyond his imagination. He would be able to pull the net back in a few days.

Not long after he returned to the hotel, Ji Qingyan and Guan Ya returned as well.

There was also an Apple laptop in Ji Qingyan's hands. It looked like she had just bought it.

After tidying up briefly, the three of them had their dinner in the Western restaurant next to the hotel before returning to their rooms.

"It must have been boring staying in the hotel for the whole afternoon," Ji Qingyan said apologetically.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Lin Yi said that on purpose so that he could show how he felt wronged without being too obvious.

Lin Yi was amazed by his own acting skills.

Bullsh*t.

Seeing Lin Yi's sullen expression, Ji Qingyan felt guilty.

The Lingyun Group was so busy with work, but Lin Yi rejected all of them and went out to have fun with her, but she abandoned him because of work.

Thinking of this made Ji Qingyan feel bad.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ji Qingyan said.

"I'll try to finish it as soon as possible. I won't make you wait too long."

"It's okay. Although you're an important part of Wangjiang Dock, it's still my business. I'm also responsible for this, so I can't blame you."

"But I still left you behind. It's my fault."

"Don't feel too guilty. Just think of a way to make it up to me."

"Humph, I think you have some ill intentions," Ji Qingyan said.

"I've already made it up to you once that day. Don't even think about getting another chance."

"Sigh, then just leave me alone in the hotel to die alone."

"Don't say that," Ji Qingyan said anxiously.

"It's not just the two of us. President Guan is also here. If she learns that we sleep in the same room at night, it would be too embarrassing."

Chapter 312

Lin Yi perked up.

"If that's the case, should I ask her to get out? Maybe move to another hotel?"

"You really can't focus on anything else. It seems taking advantage of me is your number one priority."

"That's right, we can't let others take advantage of us." Lin Yi said. "I have to protect my cabbage patch."

Ji Qingyan smiled happily. "I'm not a cabbage, I want to be a rose."

"That's good, I'm a master of flower arranging. We're a perfect match."

"Master of flower arranging?"

"Yeah, didn't you say you are a rose?"

Ji Qingyan understood what Lin Yi meant and grabbed the soft meat around his waist. "You're a hooligan. You don't know what to say and only try to take advantage of me. You have to develop a sense of shame."

"What do you mean by shame? Let's talk about it after we're satisfied." Lin Yi took his phone and prepared to call Guan Ya.

"I'll tell her to move to another hotel now."

"What do you mean? Don't say such things." Ji Qingyan warned.

"With Guan Ya's intelligence, if you say that, she'll definitely know that something is up between the two of us."

...

"Does she even need to guess? It's obvious that something's up, okay?"

"You can't do that," Ji Qingyan said.

"Anyway, we'll sleep in separate rooms tonight. We definitely can't be in the same room."

"Okay."

The two chatted in the room for a while longer. Ji Qingyan said that she wanted to organize today's documentation, so she chased Lin Yi away.

Lin Yi was happy to be free. He returned to his room and found a random reason to chat with Shen Tianzhuo for a while more.

Their revolutionary friendship seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds, and they were undoubtedly growing to become close.

The next morning, after the three of them finished eating, Guan Ya and Ji Qingyan went out for their inspection as usual.

Ji Qingyan was a little reluctant to leave Lin Yi alone in the hotel.

However, she knew that a person like him who couldn't stay idle wouldn't be able to stay in the meeting room for even an hour. He might as well stay in the hotel and be at ease.

"I'm leaving first. If you're bored, go out for a walk. Don't just stay in the hotel."

"Without you, I'd be lonely wherever I go."

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

It was fine to talk when no one was around, but it was too embarrassing when Director Guan was here.

Guan Ya turned around sensibly, not wanting to see them flirt.

"I'm telling the truth." Lin Yi said, his face neither red nor pale. "If it weren't for you, all this scenery wouldn't fill me with awe, but rather melancholy."

Ji Qingyan covered her mouth as she chuckled. "Where did you get all this nonsense? I think you'll be fine without me."

As she spoke, Ji Qingyan looked at Guan Ya, who wasn't far away. "Alright, I'm leaving now. I won't bother with you today. Make your own arrangements. I'll try to come back earlier."

After comforting Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan and Guan Ya left together.

Guan Ya looked back and forth between the two of them.

She had a feeling that although she didn't know what Lin Yi would do today, he definitely wouldn't stay in the hotel.

A person like him couldn't stay idle at all. His upper body might be able to stay still, but his lower body would undoubtedly start moving around.

After making sure that the two of them had left, Lin Yi took a taxi to Microsoft.

"Lin Yi?"

Just as he reached the entrance of the office building, he heard someone talking.

He raised his head and realized that the person who was talking was Zhao Zhengyang. His assistant, Qu Nan, was also beside him.

How could he bump into this retard here?

Lin Yi recalled that he met this guy at the airport the other day. It seemed like they were going to take the same flight as him.

The flight that he was on stopped over in Washington before landing in Orlando. It was very likely that they were here to discuss business with Microsoft.

However, he was the vice president of Microsoft's global marketing department. Did this opportunity really just fall into his lap?

Oh my God, did you send me down here to play Zhao Zhengyang to death?

"Director Zhao, I'm really sorry for delaying you. You didn't have to delay any of your meetings, did you?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I'm here to discuss business today. I'm not in the mood to talk to you."

"What a coincidence. I know a few people here. Do you need me to contact you, Boss Zhao?"

"Hmph, do I need you to contact them?" Zhao Zhengyang snorted.

"We're almost done with this project. I'm here to sign the contract. I don't need you."

"I'm just being nice." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"There was an old monk who once gave a parable on kindness. His words were very accurate. Don't you believe him?"

"Believe my *ss!"

Zhao Zhengyang cursed, "Lin Yi, let me tell you, even though we have a feud, I just don't have time to play with you. After this period is over, I'll have a good fight with you. I'll see who can protect the person that I, Zhao Zhengyang, want to attack!"

"No problem." Lin Yi made an OK gesture and walked out of the Microsoft building while shaking his head.

Zhao Zhengyang gritted his teeth when he saw Lin Yi's smug appearance, but he couldn't do anything about it at the moment.

"What do you think he's doing at Microsoft?" Zhao Zhengyang asked.

"His company doesn't seem to be involved in the business here." Qu Nan thought for a few seconds. "Maybe he's accompanying Ji Qingyan."

"Alright, don't bother with him." Zhao Zhengyang said.

"Go and sign the project contract first. We can deal with him at any time, but we can't forget the serious business."

"Okay, after this project is over, let's deal with him properly," Qu Nan said.

"With the Zhao family's strength, it'll be very easy to toy with him to death."

"Hehehe…"

Zhao Zhengyang let out a cold laugh like a retard. "It would be a pity if such an interesting person were to be toyed to death. It would only be interesting if we make him kneel and beg for mercy first."

Under Zhao Zhengyang's influence, Qu Nan smiled like a retard as they walked into the Microsoft Building.

..

When Lin Yi arrived at Shen Tianzhuo's office, he realized that he wasn't the only person in the office. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝙘𝙤𝙢

There was also a man and a woman inside.

The man was in his forties and the woman was in her thirties. Judging from their looks and temperament, they should be members of Microsoft's management team. It just so happened that they were both also Huaxian.

"Lin Yi, let me introduce them to you," Shen Tianzhuo said. "This is Shang Wenzhong, the general manager of the global marketing department. You two will be partners from now on."

"This is Shao Jie, the director of the marketing department. She'll be your subordinate. I promoted both of them; they're both good people. If you have any questions, you can ask them. You can look for me when it comes to things relating to technology. Again, the marketing department is just a temporary springboard for you. Don't worry."

"Okay."

"Director Lin, we are colleagues from now on. Please take care of us," Shang Wenzhong said politely.

According to professional etiquette, it was more appropriate for Lin Yi to say this.

However, both of them knew about Lin Yi's situation. They had also heard about the incident that happened in the building yesterday. .

He must not be an ordinary person to be praised by Director Shen for his technological skills.

He was definitely going to be a vice-president of the company.

He was assigned to the marketing department since he had nowhere else to go. He was just treating this as a stopover.

Although he was just a vice-president, he commanded the utmost respect.

"You guys are too polite. We'll be colleagues from now on. Let's watch out for each other."

Lin Yi shook hands with both of them in greeting.

Dang dang dang dang…

"Come in."

There was a knock on the office door, and Shen Tianzhuo responded.

His secretary, Jessica, pushed the door open and entered. "Director Shen, Director Shao's secretary came to see me just now. He said that the client has arrived and is wondering when you will go over."

"I'll go over now," Shao Jie replied and prepared to leave.

"Director Shao, I want to ask, is the person you're going to receive a client from Asia called Zhao Zhengyang?"

Chapter 313

Shao Jie was a little surprised. She didn't think that Lin Yi would know about the person she was meeting today.

"Their representative is indeed called Zhao Zhengyang. Is there anything you need from me on this matter?"

Lin Yi smiled. "It's not a big deal. Tell your secretary to tell them that I'll personally meet him later."

"Boss Lin, it's just a small matter. I don't need to trouble you," Shao Jie said. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

"It's fine. It's my first day on the job, so I need something to do."

Shao Jie nodded. "Jessica, go tell Hannah that Director Lin will be there in a bit."

"Okay."

After Jessica left, Lin Yi looked at Shen Tianzhuo.

"I'll come back to discuss the project later. I'll go meet my old friend over there first."

"Looks like you guys have a good relationship." Shen Tianzhuo smiled. "Do you need to give him some special treatment?"

"No, no." Lin Yi smiled. "I'll go take care of him myself."

"Alright, this is your responsibility. I won't worry about it anymore. Come back after you're done. We'll continue our research then."

"Alright."

...

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi, Shang Wenzhong, and Shao Jie walked out of Shen Tianzhuo's office and headed towards the conference room.

At the same time, Zhao Zhengyang and Qu Nan were sitting in the conference room, waiting for the director of Microsoft's marketing department to come over and sign the contract.

At this time, the white female secretary, Hannah, walked over.

"Please wait a moment, our newly-appointed vice president will come over to sign the contract with you shortly."

"What did you say? Will the newly appointed vice president come over to sign the contract?"

Zhao Zhengyang was very surprised. He felt that he had misheard.

Although he cared about this project very much, in the eyes of Microsoft, this project was not big at all. A senior executive like the director of the marketing department was completely capable of signing the contract.

However, he did not expect that their newly appointed vice president would actually end up personally coming!

It seemed that this project was very important to the other party.

"Yes, our vice president will be coming." The female secretary looked at him with a smile and said, "And he personally instructed me to inform you of this matter."

"But this project shouldn't be considered big for Microsoft, right? Why would it alarm a person at the vice president level?" Zhao Zhengyang asked.

"I'm not sure about that, but I heard that the newly appointed vice president is also Huaxian, and you guys are also from Huaxia. This should be the reason why he is personally coming."

"President Zhao, it looks like the Zhao family's international influence is increasing day by day," Qu Nan said in a low voice.

"I think so too. Their vice president is from Huaxia, so he must have heard of the Zhao family's name. Do you think there might be some kind of friendly gesture?"

"That might be it," Qu Nan said.

"Even if he's in a high position, there's still a big gap between him and the huge Zhao family. Just like you said, it's very likely to be a friendly gesture, but let's be more proactive and not leave a bad impression on them."

"You don't have to say that," Zhao Zhengyang said with a smile.

"That idiot Lin Yi was still flaunting his interpersonal relationships in front of us. Look at him now."

Qu Nan smiled. "I think we can make use of this relationship."

"How?"

"When their vice president comes over, we can have a good chat with him. With the Zhao family's reputation in Zhonghai, we should be able to get closer to him. When that happens, it'll be easy for us to sabotage Ji Qingyan's project."

Zhao Zhengyang remembered that Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan must have come here to talk about a partnership.

If he was the first to get closer to the vice president of Microsoft, Ji Qingyan's project would come to an abrupt end.

"You're right. This is a good idea," Zhao Zhengyang said with a smile. "I'll do as you say."

Zhao Zhengyang rested his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair.

His project had already entered the final stages. It was a foregone conclusion.

Surprisingly, their vice president had come personally. It seemed that he would be able to toy with Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan to death without even returning to the country.

"Miss Hannah, I want to ask you about your new vice president. Does he have any hobbies? I want to know more about him."

"I don't know much about the new vice president, but he is a very powerful person," Hannah said.

"I can tell you a little secret. The new vice president is only temporarily staying in the marketing department. In the near future, he will be promoted to become the executive vice president of the company, so his position is very high."

Hiss…

Hearing this news, Zhao Zhengyang and Qu Nan were shocked.

They understood what Hannah meant. Anyone who could reserve the position of vice president was a big shot anywhere in the world.

Even his father would have to be polite when meeting such a person!

They didn't expect this kind of figure to come and personally sign the contract!

Wasn't this giving them too much face?!

"President Zhao, this matter is definitely settled. If there are no other intentions, I don't believe that he would come personally," Qu Nan said.

"Of course!"

Zhao Zhengyang couldn't sit still anymore.

It was obvious that he was here to form ties with the Zhao family. If that was the case, it would be easier to negotiate.

Asking the other party for a small favor in ruining Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan's project was a simple matter. It wasn't difficult at all!

Just thinking about it made him excited!

Click!

The door to the meeting room opened and Zhao Zhengyang stood up excitedly.

The person who'd reserved the vice-president position in advance was here!

"Lin Yi, it's you!"

Zhao Zhengyang turned around and saw that it was Lin Yi who'd entered. He swallowed the words in his stomach and asked in disbelief.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me here?"

"I'm a little surprised, but it doesn't matter," Zhao Zhengyang said with a smile.

"I have something to tell you. Our contract is about to be signed, and the person who is signing the contract with us is the new vice president of Microsoft."

"You might not know how powerful this person is, but I'm not afraid to tell you that he has already reserved the position of vice president within Microsoft. Do you know what it means for such a person to sign the contract with us?"

Lin Yi shrugged. "I don't know what it means, but don't you want to know why I'm here?"

"Huh?"

Zhao Zhengyang and Qu Nan were stunned. They had been so excited that they had indeed overlooked this matter.

It was also a little strange that the director of Microsoft, Shao Jie, was still standing behind him.

"Director Shao, they don't know who I am. Please introduce me."

Shao Jie took a step forward and introduced,

"Mr. Zhao, the person standing in front of you is Director Lin Yi Lin, the new vice president of our marketing department. The person who you just said had reserved the position of vice president is none other than Director Lin."

Chapter 314

"W-what did you say?!"

"He's your vice president?!"

"That's right, I am."

Lin Yi smiled at Zhao Zhengyang. "Are you surprised? Shocked? Isn't this exciting?"

Zhao Zhengyang's legs gave way, and he stumbled backward.

If it wasn't for Qu Nan's quick reflexes, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

"You… you're a hooligan! What qualifications do you have to be the vice president of Microsoft?!" Zhao Zhengyang cursed as he pointed at Lin Yi.

"Don't make me sound so bad. My new colleagues are all here. How am I supposed to continue working here in the future?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Oh right, didn't you guys want to sign the contract? Let me see it. If there's no problem, I'll sign it."

"Are you really that kind?"

"Not bad. Looks like your position isn't just for show. You even guessed that I wouldn't sign the contract."

"You, you…"

Zhao Zhengyang's body trembled and his face turned pale. He was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

...

"Pfft!"!

Bright red blood spurted out of Zhao Zhengyang's mouth.

Qu Nan was shocked. "Director Zhao, Director Zhao! Don't scare me!"

No matter how much Qu Nan shouted, Zhao Zhengyang didn't move at all. It was as if he had gone into shock.

"Lin Yi, just you wait. The Zhao family won't let you off!"

Lin Yi, "?"

The charity banquet was the first round, the airport was the second round, and now it was only the third round, yet he couldn't take it anymore?

Wasn't he too weak?

My my, this wouldn't do!

Qu Nan helped Zhao Zhengyang leave, and Lin Yi stretched his back.

"Alright, the project is over. Go take care of your other matters."

Shang Wenzhong, "…"

Shao Jie, "…"

She'd been at Microsoft for so many years, and she had signed so many contracts throughout that period. There were only two outcomes to these meetings, success or failure.

This was the first time she'd seen someone vomit blood.

Director Lin wasn't simple!

Lin Yi went to Shen Tianzhuo's office after leaving the conference room.

It was empty inside, and he only found out after asking Jessica that SHen Tianzhuo had gone to a meeting.

Since he was bored, Lin Yi found a random computer and started working.

Shen Tianzhuo came back in the afternoon and saw Lin Yi busy at work in his office. He smiled.

"This is the first time I've seen someone as talented and hardworking as you."

"If I take money from others, I have to make sure I also help them solve their problems. You gave me such a high position, so you have to get something in return."

"Haha, that's good. Let's work on it together," Shen Tianzhuo said. "To be honest, I'm not as good as you in terms of chip knowledge."

"It's not easy for a boss like you to say something like that."

"What's the big deal? Learning never stops. No one is omnipotent, especially in comparison to young people like you. We can't be arrogant and complacent."

Shen Tianzhuo paused and said seriously, "You are the future of Huaxia."

"Don't say that. We still need a giant like you to stand up for us," Lin Yi said seriously.

In the afternoon, Shen Tianzhuo went to two meetings and then stayed with Lin Yi in the office as they typed code.

It was precisely because of this afternoon's in-depth exchange that Lin Yi had a deeper understanding of Shen Tianzhuo.

This guy's achievements in computer science far exceeded his imagination.

He possessed a kind of stubbornness and tenacity that belonged exclusively to men of science. Lin Yi was secretly impressed.

No wonder Lu Ying and Sun Fuyu gave him such a high evaluation. He was indeed worthy of it.

If he and his team were poached, then the launch of the domestic photolithography machine would be brought forward by leaps and bounds.

Lin Yi and him didn't talk about anything else throughout the whole afternoon. He didn't do anything else other than take Ji Qingyan's phone calls and go to the toilet.

The better he got along with Shen Tianzhuo, the higher the chances of him being poached.

If he was too anxious, it might backfire. Thus, he had to take it slow.

It was soon past four in the afternoon. Lin Yi stretched and prepared to leave.

Since Ji Qingyan and Guan Ya were coming back soon, he had to get back to the hotel before them.

"Why don't you come to my place for dinner? Let's have a drink together and study the code at the same time," Shen Tianzhuo invited him.

"No thanks. I'm exhausted from working the whole day."

Lin Yi said goodbye to Shen Tianzhuo and left on his own.

The three of them met back at the hotel and had dinner together. After that, Ji Qingyan and Guan Ya started discussing the details of the renovation of the pier, leaving Lin Yi at the side.

Lin Yi was a little puzzled. He asked Guan Ya to come over to be one of his tools in distracting Ji Qingyan. Why was the discussion so heated now, as if it was the real thing?

Seeing that Ji Qingyan was focusing all her attention on work, Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to get involved. Instead, he went back to bed early.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi woke up at six in the morning when his phone rang. His mind was immediately clear when he saw the name of the person he was calling. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

It was none other than Cao Xiangyu, the son of Cisco's chairman, Cao Jiadong.

It was six in the morning in the US, which meant that it would be six in the evening in China.

What was the point of calling him at this time?

Lin Yi calms himself down and picked up Cao Xiangyu's call.

"Lin Bro, I called you a few days ago. You said you were going to the states, but you haven't come back yet. I'm missing you a lot." Cao Xiangyu said.

Lin Yi felt goosebumps all over his body.

What the hell did a big guy like you want me to do with a guy like me?

"I'm still in the states. I'll be back in a few days. Don't worry, Cao Bro."

"That's a pity. I have a friend who has a few mares, and I wanted to share them with you." Cao Xiangyu said.

Lin Yi pursed his lips. Sure enough, there was only one reason why he would call at this time.

"Forget about the mares. It's not like you don't know that I'm in the states, and there are women all over the streets. I'm even getting sick of them."

"Brother Lin, you're mistaken."Cao Xiangyu said.

"I'm talking about riding a real horse, the kind with four legs and a tail."

"Hehehe…"

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly. Damn it, speak clearly man.

"Brother Lin, don't worry. We're brothers. I'll ask him to keep it for a few more days. You can ride it to your heart's content then."

"Sure, sure. Thank you, Brother Cao."

"Alright, that's all for now. I'll contact you when you get back. Let's have a good get-together. We're neighbors, so don't be too distant."

"That's for sure. We have to have a good get-together."

Lin Yi hung up after bragging to Cao Xiangyu for a while.

However, he wasn't sleepy anymore. Rather, he went to the bathroom and prepared to wash up.

Cao Xiangyu's motive was already obvious. All that was left was to whet his appetite and put on a good show.

"F*ck."

Lin Yi cursed, "The show surrounding Shen Tianzhuo isn't over yet, and now I have to run to the next set. Surely there is a place for a billion-dollar actor like myself in Huaxia, right?"

Chapter 315

Lin Yi had just finished washing up when there was a knock on his door.

After opening the door, Ji Qingyan walked in from outside, looking to invite Lin Yi for dinner.

For the next two days, the three of them lived a very simple life.

Ji Qingyan and Guan Ya were busy with their work.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi constantly shifted between Microsoft and the hotel.

However, from what Ji Qingyan could tell, Lin Yi had been staying in the hotel every day. He was probably going to grow moldy soon, which made her feel extremely guilty.

Lin Yi didn't make any further moves over the next two days.

Apart from typing the code, he chatted with Shen Tianzhuo about everything in his hometown. It was as if they were old friends.

Lin Yi was extremely grateful to the system for giving him a reward in the form of the sage's wisdom.

Apart from computers, knowledge in other fields was also easy to come by.

On the other hand, Shen Tianzhuo was extremely amazed by Lin Yi's breadth of knowledge.

He looked like he was only in his twenties, yet he was knowledgeable in other fields not relating to computer chips.

After a careful comparison, he realized that he couldn't compare to Lin Yi at all.

...

If he continued like this for a few more years, Lin Yi's future at Microsoft might even outshine his own.

In the office, the printer buzzed. Lin Yi typed out a few documents, but he didn't hand them to Shen Tianzhuo.

Shen Tianzhuo didn't ask any more questions. This was his personal matter, and he had no control over it.

"Done!"

That afternoon, Lin Yi stretched lazily. The string of dizzying code on the screen was an infinite treasure in Shen Tianzhuo's eyes. It was more attractive than roses and diamonds.

"You're really something." Shen Tianzhuo sighed.

"My R&D team would have taken at least three months to complete this. I didn't expect you to complete it in three days. It's my honor to be your colleague."

Shen Tianzhuo was excited. He stayed here to meet better colleagues so that he could carry out advanced R&D.

Meeting Lin Yi now was a stroke of good fortune.

Moreover, the two were from the same hometown, so they immediately hit it off.

"You're too polite. It's nothing," Lin Yi said. "It's not as impressive as you think."

"You're being too modest, kid." SHen Tianzhuo said.

"I'm going to file a report soon to see if I can resolve the problem surrounding your position. With your ability, I feel like even the title of executive vice president will be selling you short."

"You don't have to apply for the position for me," Lin Yi said seriously. "I'm going to leave."

"Leave?" Shen Tianzhuo panicked. He didn't expect Lin Yi to say something like that.

He and Lin Yi had been getting along quite well. It had only been a few days, so why was he leaving?

"I'm planning to go back to the country."

This was Lin Yi's plan from the start.

Although Shen Tianzhuo was a key factor, he couldn't waste all his time on him.

After spending so many days here, he had done all he could. The rest was up to fate.

Therefore, Lin Yi decided to lay his cards on the table.

"Why are you going back? Is it because you have a better opportunity?"

Lin Yi didn't answer directly, but looked at Tianzhuo with burning eyes.

"Boss Shen, if someone was willing to give you money and unlimited freedom to conduct your R&D, would you be willing to go back?"

In reality, Lin Yi could have asked this question at the beginning.

However, it was too risky.

After so many days together, the two had become friends who talked about everything. With this relationship now established, Lin Yi thought that his chances of success would be higher.

"How could such a thing be possible? Stop joking." Shen Tianzhuo waved his hand. "Capitalists aren't stupid. They won't do anything without seeing the benefits."

"But don't forget, this is America. Do you think the capitalist system is better here?" Lin Yi said. "Money flows through their bones."

Shen Tianzhuo didn't say anything. He had stayed in America for so many years, so he naturally understood how scary capitalism was.

Although he was an executive of this financial unicorn, he was only a relatively high-level tool maker.

The so-called freedom was only in relative terms.

Lin Yi stood by the window, picked up a cigarette, and lit it with a pretentious and lonely expression. He sighed emotionally.

"We're in the same boat, Director Shen. If there wasn't a suitable opportunity, do you think I would choose to return to the country at this time?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi turned back, his eyes pure and deep. "Although we've only worked together for a few days, we've already formed a deep friendship. I can't bear to part with you!"

"Did they really promise you that?"

This time, Lin Yi didn't answer directly, but looked at Shen Tianzhuo with a hopeful gaze.

"Director Shen, if such an opportunity really existed, would you be willing to leave?"

"Ha…"

Tianzhuo laughed and took a cigarette as well. "If there really was such a good thing, of course I'd be willing to leave."

"Are you sure?" Lin Yi asked.

"Of course," Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile. "As long as you give me enough funding and academic freedom, I wouldn't need to stay here."

"Hehehe…"

Lin Yi laughed wretchedly as he held Shen Tianzhuo's hand excitedly. "Director Shen, on behalf of the Longxin Research Institute, I'd like to welcome you to join us."

"Ah?!"

Tianzhuo was stunned.

It was as if he was watching a warm and friendly cartoon, and the style suddenly changed without warning and turned into Jurassic Park.

What the hell was this?!

"Didn't you hear me?" Lin Yi said with a smile. "Let me introduce myself. I'm the president of the Longxin Research Institute in Zhonghai, Lin Yi. You're welcome to join us."

"You… you're from the Longxin Research Institute?" Shen Tianzhuo's eyes widened. "Two people came to see me before, and they said they were from the Longxin Research Institute."

"That's right. They were my men, but they didn't succeed, so I came out myself."

Shen Tianzhuo didn't react for a while, feeling like he'd fallen into a trap.

"You joined Microsoft just to get close to me?"

"More or less. If you can't complete a task head on, you have to choose a corner to overtake." 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Lin Yi straightened his expression, and took out an encrypted USB drive from his pocket.

"This is the source code for our Chip 2.0. It's comparable to Intel's latest technology, but when we bought the photolithography machine, someone tricked us, so we decided to make it ourselves."

"Are you kidding me? You want to make a photolithography machine yourself?"

Shen Tianzhuo was excited. "It took ASML so many years to achieve its current global status. Who knows how many years it will take for the country to make a photolithography machine?"

"That's true," Lin Yi said. "But someone has to do it, right?"

Lin Yi sighed, "Why are the house prices in Huaxia so high? Isn't it because they need these things to help boost our domestic GDP? When one day, Huaxia's high-end manufacturing industry is at the forefront of the world, all these problems will be solved."

"Huawei is a good example of this. Don't you find the way America treated it disgusting?

"I believe that one day, after the results of your project come out, your hometown will become a place that you can only look at from afar, but never return to.

Chapter 316

Shen Tianzhuo stopped talking.

How could he not know what Lin Yi was talking about?

It was just that it was so sudden, and he didn't think that Lin Yi would talk about these things with him.

Shen Tianzhuo looked into the distance with a deep expression, looking like a silent sculpture.

When his research results were published, his hometown would be a place where he could never return to even if he wanted to.

"Director Shen, I understand all your doubts."

Lin Yi handed the documents that he had just typed up to Shen Tianzhuo.

"This is my bank's cash flow statement. I have about three billion in cash, and I still have one billion in Longxin's account."

"Apart from that, I have a few other properties. If I put them all together and mortgage them to the bank, I'll have about 40 billion. Of course, it's unlikely that I'll be able to mortgage my real estate, but I'll still have an increasing amount of cash flow in the future to supplement this."

"So now, as the president of the Longxin Research Institute, I can promise you that if you come, capital and academic freedom will not be a problem. As long as you can come, I can promise you anything."

Shen Tianzhuo didn't look at the documents on the table. He believed that Lin Yi wouldn't lie about this.

Even so, he was curious. Why did Lin Yi have such a large amount of assets at such a young age?

It was unbelievable.

...

"I saw your sincerity," Shen Tianzhuo said. "But why are you doing this?"

"Even I can't guarantee that your project will succeed. There's even a high chance that all your money will go down the drain and you will end up with nothing. What are you looking for?"

"I don't like seeing these foreign devils show off. The reason is simple," Lin Yi said.

"It's not a skill to be arrogant back home. It's more interesting to show off on the world stage."

"Give me a few days. I'll think about it," Shen Tianzhuo said seriously.

"Okay."

Lin Yi didn't say anything else. "I'll leave first."

"Okay."

He turned around and left, but Lin Yi stopped when he reached the door.

"Anything else?"

"Director Shen, don't forget to bring your team back when you come back," Lin Yi said. "I'll give you a taste of what socialism is all about."

Shen Tianzhuo's hand shook. "You were even targeting my team throughout all this."

"They're all your subordinates. It'll be easier for you to start working in the future if they're also there."

"I haven't agreed to it yet." Shen Tianzhuo said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It's fine. I just wanted to let you know, in case you forgot." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Take your time to think about it. When you're done, I'll send a private jet to pick you up."

"Go, go, go, don't bother me anymore." Shen Tianzhuo scolded with a smile.

Lin Yi looked at his watch as he exited the Microsoft building. It was only three o'clock, so he didn't go back to the hotel. Instead, he hailed a cab and headed in the opposite direction.

In the office, Shen Tianzhuo saw lines of code that Lin Yi had left behind.

Shen Tianzhuo couldn't help but laugh as he muttered to himself,

"This kid is quite righteous."

These days, the importance of the code written by Lin Yi to the entire Microsoft system was self-evident.

Despite this, he still left it behind.

In other words, regardless of whether Shen Tianzhuo followed him or not, the code he wrote was his.

Basically, he had earned it.

At the thought of this, Tianzhuo took the mouse and deleted all the code Lin Yi had written. Then, he turned off his phone.

He took a deep breath and looked at the empty office. He wasn't used to Lin Yi not being around.

He wanted to continue working, but he couldn't calm himself down no matter how hard he tried.

He couldn't calm himself down even when he smoked a cigarette, so he turned off his computer.

He took his coat and car keys, then left the office and drove home.

Shen Tianzhuo's house was a three-story villa in the suburbs of Washington, but it wasn't considered luxurious because the other villas in the area were all the same.

It could be said that most of the houses in Washington were like this.

Unlike Huaxia, where a villa cost tens of millions of?yuan1, a house here wasn't anything overly impressive.

Just as he parked the car and was about to open the door, Shen Tianzhuo was surprised to see his wife and Lin Yi drinking coffee in the courtyard. 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Ah, Director Shen, you're back." Lin Yi said in surprise.

"You... Why are you here? You've never been here before. How did you find this place?"

"Our village has Internet access too. It's easy to find after doing a bit of snooping around." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Director Shen, I'm leaving now. Oh right, I have something to tell you. Sister-in-law has plans to go back as well. We've already discussed it. You don't need to ask for her opinion. Just pack your things and get ready to move."

Tianzhuo, "?"

What else should I say?

Was there any room for rejection?

Shen Tianzhuo walked back to his wife after seeing Lin Yi leave in a taxi.

"He talked to you about returning to the country?"

"Just a simple chat, nothing else." Mu Shumin said with a smile.

"This colleague of yours is quite interesting. I've never seen such an interesting programmer, unlike you, who's so old-fashioned."

Shen Tianzhuo laughed as well. "What did you guys talk about that made you so happy?"

"We were just chatting about our daily lives. It's not easy to meet someone from your hometown in a foreign country, so we chatted a little more. The young man is a smooth talker. One look and you can tell that he's smart..."

"Wait..." Shen Tianzhuo said.

"What did you say? You met someone from your hometown? Aren't you from the Northeast?"

"That's right. Little Yi is also from the Northeast," Mu Shumin said.

"After having left it for so many years, I've forgotten how to speak the northeastern dialect. It fills me with a sense of familiarity listening to him speak."

"But he told me that he's a native of Zhejiang Province!"

Mu Shumin, "?"

"We seem to have been fooled."

"That's certainly possible." Shen Tianzhuo didn't know what words to use to describe his emotions.

"In order to get in touch with you, you actually thought of a way to join Microsoft. This kind of thing is not something an ordinary person can do," Mu Shumin said.

"But I won't involve myself in your matters. Our child is also old enough, so no matter what you do, I will support you."

Shen Tianzhuo smiled helplessly. Thinking back on this series of events, it was not difficult to see that Lin Yi had made ample preparation. It was really difficult for Shen Tianzhuo to reject his offer.

"I don't seem to have a choice now."

"Then should I go back and pack?"

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Tianzhuo said, "Go pack."

Mu Shumin nodded and returned home.

Tianzhuo didn't move and lit up a cigarette.

He looked in the direction Lin Yi had left in and suddenly thought of a phrase. It seemed to be a fitting description for the young man who had gone far away.

"Great winds, torrential tides, flood totem dragons, fire nirvana phoenixes, sacred fire of civilization, those who have never been extinct are unparalleled, coexisting with the Heaven and Earth, and with the light of the sun and moon."

Chapter 317

Lin Yi took a taxi back to the hotel after leaving Shen Tianzhuo's house.

He had just finished showering when Ji Qingyan and Guan Ya came back. He was just in time.

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, we're done here. We can go back now." Ji Qingyan cupped Lin Yi's face. "It's been hard on you these days. You must be moldy from staying in the hotel all day."

"What else could I do? I could only stay here." Lin Yi sighed.

"A pure-minded person like me can't go to a bar. I could only stay here and watch TV shows every day. Oh right, I finished watching 'Two Worlds' from the airport a few days ago. Let me tell you…"

"No, no, no."

Ji Qingyan covered Lin Yi's mouth. "Don't spoil it for me. I want to watch it myself."

"Mua!"

After that, Ji Qingyan kissed Lin Yi's face. "This is your reward for being obedient."

"It's not mango. I have to leave behind a bad review."

"It's good that you're getting anything at all, don't be so picky."

She was still as arrogant as ever.

"We've finished our business here, we can go back now. I'll book the plane tickets later."

...

"No need. I've already booked the plane tickets," Lin Yi said.

"Just leave these trivial matters to me from now on."

"It's just a few plane tickets. It's not a big deal."

Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan. "Go change. I'll take you out somewhere."

"Where are we going?" Ji Qingyan asked curiously, with a hint of anticipation in her heart.

"Don't ask, just change your clothes." Lin Yi said.

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, Ji Qingyan changed into a floral dress. Her long hair fell freely down to her ankles, looking like a pitch-black galaxy.

"How is it? Do you think I can wear this?"

"No problem."

Lin Yi said goodbye to Guan Ya before leaving the hotel with Ji Qingyan.

After they got out of the car, Ji Qingyan saw the biggest amusement park in Washington, Six Flags, across the road.

It was already evening, but the screams from the amusement park did not stop.

As night fell, the amusement park's colorful lights all lit up, adding to the joyous atmosphere.

However, the most noticeable thing was the Ferris wheel in the center of the park.

"Lin Yi, you didn't forget, did you?"

Riding the Ferris wheel was one of Ji Qingyan's wishes.

When she left Orlando, Ji Qingyan thought that Lin Yi had forgotten about it.

After returning to Washington, he stayed in the hotel every day, but Ji Qingyan was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

Even she wanted to give up the idea of it. It wasn't until Lin Yi brought her here before they left that she was reminded of it.

"How could I forget what you told me before?"

"Hehe, you're so nice. I don't even know how to compliment you anymore."

"How about I chase Guan Ya away? Can you show your sincerity through actions?"

"Dream on."

Ji Qingyan's eyes were fixed on the slowly rotating ferris wheel as she said sweetly,

"Lin Yi, do you want me to hold your arm?"

"No."

"No, you definitely want me to!"

"Huh? Why would I want you to?"

Ji Qingyan's slender hand reached over to Lin Yi's waist and pinched it. "Are you sure you don't want me to?"

"Uh… I want you to."

"Okay, okay. Since you want me to, I'll reluctantly hold it."

As she spoke, Ji Qingyan held Lin Yi's arm. "Let's go, let's ride the Ferris wheel."

The two bought tickets and went straight to the Ferris wheel.

"I looked it up just now. The Ferris wheel is more than a hundred meters tall. Are you sure it'll be okay?"

"Of course it'll be okay. I'm very brave. I'm not scared at all."

"I didn't ask if you're scared. Why are you emphasizing it?" Lin Yi smiled.

"And can you be gentler? You're almost scratching the flesh off my arm."

Ji Qingyan's face turned red. "It's my first time sitting on it, so I'm a little nervous."

It was a lie to say that she was nervous, as she was very much afraid.

It did not look like much from the outside, but when she walked below it and looked up at the Ferris wheel that was more than 100 meters tall, Ji Qingyan felt like she was about to give up.

Although the Ferris wheel was very romantic, it looked really tall.

It was much taller than the headquarters of the Chaoyang Group.

"Since you're so brave, how about we go on a roller coaster and a haunted house after we ride the Ferris Wheel?"

"Sure, sure…"

"Let's go."

The two of them lined up and entered the small Ferris wheel car.

The Ferris wheel slowly rose, and gradually, it reached the point where it overlooked the entire city.

The streets were filled with colorful neon lights and heavy traffic. The hustle and bustle of life once again swept through the city.

However, at this moment, their ears were silent.

It was as if they were the only ones left in this world.

"Lin Yi, do you want to take a photo with me?"

"Uh…"

Lin Yi was about to refuse when he remembered the scene at the door. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Do I want to or not?"

"I'm asking you. If you want to take a photo with me, I'll give you a chance."

Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she wanted to take a picture with him, she could have just said so. Why was she always so arrogant?

"Then I'd like to."

"Come over here, let's take a picture together."

Lin Yi took out his phone and turned on the front-facing camera.

Ji Qingyan's face leaned slightly into Lin Yi's shoulder, the corners of her mouth curling up into a smile.

At this moment, she was the most beautiful scene in the world.

However, the moment he pressed the shutter, Lin Yi pinched Ji Qingyan's face.

A beautiful duo photo turned into an ugly one.

"Ah!"

"We can't keep that photo. Delete it quickly. It's too ugly."

"We can't delete this photo. I'll enjoy it when I get back."

"Then let's take another one. You're not allowed to pinch my face this time."

"No problem."

In the same position as before, Ji Qingyan leaned against Lin Yi with a beautiful smile on her face. She then took a picture that she was satisfied with.

Ji Qingyan had seen many couples who came to ride the Ferris wheel on the Internet before.

The girls would often kiss the boy's face and take a picture with him.

However, this was too bold. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud because she was afraid that Lin Yi would laugh at her.

This was good enough. She'd be content to ride the Ferris wheel with him.

"Why are you sitting down? Aren't you going to take in the scenery outside?"

Ji Qingyan shook her head nervously. "I'll just sit and watch."

"You're not scared, are you?"

"No, I'm not. I'm the one who dragged you here to ride the Ferris wheel. How could I be scared?"

"Alright then. Let's go on a roller coaster later. I haven't ridden one in years."

Ji Qingyan's body trembled. The Ferris wheel was already her limit. If she were to go on a roller coaster, she would get scared to death.

The Ferris wheel descended from the highest point and the two of them eventually stepped off.

Ji Qingyan's heart was still unsatisfied because nothing that she expected had happened.

I'm not going to kiss you, but you can kiss me on your own accord.

So stupid.

Not far from the Ferris wheel was the roller coaster. Screams came one after another from the coaster. Ji Qingyan was so scared that she couldn't even walk anymore.

Ji Qingyan's steps were very small, and her heart was pounding.

She already regretted saying that she was brave in front of Lin Yi.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have flaunted her courage.

"Do… do we really have to ride it?"

"We're already here, we have to go for a quick ride before going back."

"Oh…"

Just as they were about to enter, Ji Qingyan suddenly stopped.

Lin Yi turned around and saw that her face wasn't looking too good.

"Hey, why aren't you moving? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Qingyan bit her lips and said pitifully,

"I'm… I'm a little scared. Let's not ride the roller coaster."

Chapter 318

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Yi asked.

"It goes so high up, and then it rushes down with a whoosh. It's too scary."

"I was just bragging before," Lin Yi said. "In that case, let's not take the roller coaster. We'll just walk around the park then go back."

"Okay."

Night fell, and the park was brightly lit. The two walked around under this lighting for a while.

When they arrived at the children's section, they saw the children playing on the slide. Ji Qingyan stood in the distance and watched for a while.

"If you want to play, go ahead. It doesn't cost money anyway."

"Are you going?"

"I'm a man. I can't play with that thing. It's too feminine."

"Then I won't play with it either."

"You're a woman. What are you afraid of?"

"All the children are playing on it. I'm already an adult, yet I still want to join in the fun. How embarrassing." Ji Qingyan whispered, "I can't stand being pointed at by others."

"What's there to be afraid of? This is America. You can just enjoy yourself. No one knows who you are."

...

"That's not good either."

"Go, go, go. You have to enjoy life to the fullest. You just enjoy yourself and ignore them."

Lin Yi didn't give Ji Qingyan a chance to refuse. He pushed her to the edge of the slide, as if he was teaching a baby bird to fly. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I… I'm still a little embarrassed." Ji Qingyan was a little shy. "Why don't you sacrifice yourself to accompany me? That way, they'll only talk about you and not me."

"Ji Qingyan, look at what you're up to. You're really the best teammate, asking me to take the bullet for you."

"Haha!" Ji Qingyan chuckled. "Just play with me for a while."

"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself." Lin Yi said. "Seriously, it's just a slide. What's there to be afraid of? I'll send you up."

"Don't push me. I'll go quietly."

Ji Qingyan walked quietly through the shadows and carefully approached the slide.

There was a pile of sand not far away. There were many children playing with the sand, and Ji Qingyan didn't want to disturb them.

She quietly climbed up the slide and gestured to Lin Yi to look at his phone.

Lin Yi glanced at it and saw a WeChat message from her.

Ji Qingyan, "Can you take a picture for me?"

"I even have to take a picture."

Lin Yi complained as he took out his phone and took a few pictures of her.

Lin Yi felt that cameras were only useful for female users.

That was because men only used them to scan QR codes.

On the slide, Ji Qingyan hugged her skirt as she descended from the slide. Her beautiful eyes were narrowed into crescents and her smile was as bright as a flower.

When she landed, Ji Qingyan was ready to leave, but she saw that all the children who were playing with the sand had run over.

"Hi, Sister, we want to play with you, can we?"

A little boy with blonde hair said.

"Don't you guys mind that Big Sister has stolen your slide?"

"Of course not." The little boy held a shovel and said, "The slide is very dangerous, I can protect you."

Ji Qingyan smiled. "Then come and play with me."

Ji Qingyan was not satisfied to begin with. Now that someone had invited her, she would play again.

At this moment, other children walked over and stood in front of Ji Qingyan. It seemed that they wanted to play with her.

Faced with such a scene, Ji Qingyan naturally did not reject anyone. She looked happy, like a kindergarten teacher.

"Alright, alright, stop playing. What time is it? Let's go back."

Ji Qingyan was having a good time when she heard Lin Yi calling her.

"Why are you still angry?"

"I don't want you to play with them anymore." Lin Yi pointed at the little boy standing on the edge of the slide. "He's already flirting with girls at such a young age. He's obviously not a good guy. He'll definitely be a scumbag when you grow up."

"uh…"

Ji Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "They're only four or five years old. You're exaggerating."

"Scumbags develop their bad personality when they are babies."

"Doesn't that prove that I'm attractive?" Ji Qingyan pulled on Lin Yi's arm happily. "Let's go. You said you weren't going to play, so let's go back."

"That's right."

After returning to the hotel, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest. They boarded the plane the next morning and returned to Huaxia.

It was already the afternoon of the second day by the time they got off the plane. Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan home while he went to the Longxin Research Institute.

"President, do you have any new instructions?" Sun Fuyu asked in the office.

"Nothing major." Lin Yi said. "I've already taken care of Shen Tianzhuo. He'll probably be joining us in a few days."

"Ah?! Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. What do you think I've been doing these past few days?"

"Massage sessions."

Sun Fuyu and Lu Ying said at the same time.

"What the f*ck! Do you think I'm nothing but a massage addict in your hearts? Can you please show me some respect as the president?" Lin Yi said.

"Do you know how many girls I've supported?"

"I understand," Sun Fuyu said. "The sales at Durex are the highest in the world. Their success is inseparable from President Lin's hard work."

"F*ck! Let's change the topic."

Lin Yi waved his hand helplessly. "How's the renovation of the scientific innovation building going?"

"It's done. Some large-scale equipment has been moved in, and the rest are on their way. We can start the research and development work soon."

Lu Ying looked at Lin Yi. "Boss, is the name of the new research institute still going to be Longxin?"

"I'm not going to rename it before I take down Cisco. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble," Lin Yi said.

"I'm not sure when Shen Tianzhuo will be back, but only the two of you will be present at its opening. There won't be many people working there, so don't cause any trouble."

"Will there be any more people?"

"Yes, besides Shen Tianzhuo, his team will also be joining us."

"AH?! His team?"

The two of them stared at each other, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

"Yes, I've poached all of them together."

The two of them looked at each other, so surprised that they were stunned speechless.

They had been gunning after Microsoft for two days, but the other party didn't even give them a chance to meet.

The boss hadn't just brought him here, he'd even poached his team.

Wasn't that a little too impressive?

"President Lin, how did you do it? We didn't even get a chance to meet him, yet you did it so easily," Sun Fuyu asked.

"Doesn't he like women?"

"What?" Lin Yi said. "I applied for a job at Microsoft and became their executive vice president. I got along with him, and after reasoning with him, I won him over by appealing to his emotions."

Hiss…

"You joined Microsoft?!"

"What else?" Lin Yi said. "He's such an awesome person. How could he meet me for no reason? I had to overtake him at the curve. Normal methods wouldn't work."

The two gave each other a thumbs up.

They were completely in awe of Lin Yi

"I came here to talk to you about this," Lin Yi said.

"Director Shen will take on the position of director of the research institute. The two of you will be deputy directors, but Longxin will still be yours. The two sides will be independent of each other."

"I don't care. As long as there's progress on the project, I'll do anything," Lu Ying said.

"Me too. I'll just guard the gate," Sun Fuyu said.

"That reminds me. The new research institute has been set up, and we need a watchman. Why don't you do it?"

Sun Fuyu praised him. "Don't be silly. I'm just saying that."

"Look, look. You just don't have the spirit to study hard," Lin Yi said. "Look at Hawking. He's disabled and strong-willed. Then look at yourself. Can't you do research in the guard room?"

"It's mainly because my legs are still pretty good."

"Legs are still pretty good?" Lin Yi said. "If you're not sick, take a few steps for me."

"Chief, are you trying to trick me into limping?"

"Of course not. There's a mop at the door. You can use that if you want. It looks like it's made of stainless steel. Not bad at all."

Sun Fuyu, "…"

Ring, ring, ring..

Lin Yi's phone rang at this time. It was a call from Cao Xiangyu.

"This guy is really enthusiastic. He's been chasing me relentlessly!"

"Brother Lin, when are you coming back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm already back," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"That's great. I'll see you at 5pm tonight at Dynasty Hotel 608. The mares are ready for you."

Lu Ying, "?"

Mares?

Chapter 319

What the f*ck!

Lin Yi realized that Lu Ying was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"If I told you that the mare he was talking about was a real horse with four legs and a tail, would you believe me?" Lin Yi said after hanging up the phone.

"I believe you." Lu Ying nodded. "Boss, I'll believe whatever you say. There's no need to over-explain."

Lin Yi, "…"

Lin Yi got up and left when he saw that it was almost time.

They probably wouldn't believe him no matter how hard he tried to explain.

Forget them, even he himself didn't believe the words that came out of his mouth. With Cao Xiangyu's character, he would no doubt bring a few girls along with him as well.

Lin Yi drove to the Dynasty Hotel at five in the evening. Cao Xiangyu's car was parked there, which Lin Yi recognized since he still had an impression of it.

When he arrived at Room 608, he found a big round table that could fit twenty people.

However, only Cao Xiangyu and his secretary were sitting at the table. It made for a grand scene.

"Yo, you must be Foreman Lin. Nice to meet you."

Cao Xiangyu stood up when he saw Lin Yi come in and welcomed him politely.

...

There was a slight change in the way he addressed Lin Yi. He didn't call him Brother Lin anymore, but Foreman Lin.

Lin Yi smiled. It looked like this guy was a master at lying through his teeth.

He hadn't even met Lin Yi before, and yet he was calling his brother over the phone.

It was all bullsh*t.

"Brother Cao, I've heard a lot about you," Lin Yi replied politely. "But what do you mean by Foreman?"

Cao Xiangyu and his secretary were stunned.

This guy was too ignorant. What did he mean by that?

"It's just a nickname." Cao Xiangyu laughed.

"Aren't you the director of Sci-Tech? Foreman means chief engineer"

"I see." Lin Yi understood. "I like the term 'engineer'. It's quite pretentious."

"Hehehe…"

Cao Xiangyu smiled awkwardly. What kind of peacocking was this?

"Come, come, let's sit down first."

Cao Xiangyu brought Lin Yi to his side and started ordering.

"Foreman Lin, order whatever you want, Don't stand on ceremony with me."

"I'm quite hungry." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Let's have three Australian steaks, four three-headed abalone, bluefin tuna sashimi, crocodile tail soup, wild big yellow flowers, top-grade black and white caviar, searing wild big conch, salt-fried palace steak…"

"Sigh, sigh, sigh… Foreman Lin, it's just the three of us, and we've ordered so many dishes…" 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢

Cao Xiangyu's heart aches when he hears Lin Yi's order.

These dishes weren't cheap. Wouldn't this meal cost over a hundred thousand yuan?

"Brother Cao, we're all on the same side, what's the point of calling me Foreman Lin? Just call me Brother Lin," Lin Yi said with a laugh.

"I know you're a hospitable person, and you think our order is too small. Don't worry, I'm a friendly person, and we're all brothers. I won't take this to heart."

"Uh… We're indeed brothers, you're welcome."

The corners of Cao Xiangyu's mouth twitched, but he was already cursing in his heart.

"But my appetite isn't very good today, so I won't be able to eat much."

"So that's what's going on." Lin Yi laughed. "In that case, that's all I'm going to order."

"That's not what I meant." Cao Xiangyu said politely. "I don't have a good appetite, but if Brother Lin has something he wants to eat, you can always order more."

"How can I order if you already said that?"

"It's fine, it's fine."

"I'll order a few more since Brother Cao is so enthusiastic."

"Pfft!"

Cao Xiangyu almost vomited blood. 'I was being polite, but you're not reciprocating in kind!'

Lin Yi flipped through the menu. "What's this cool salad?"

"It's a cold dish with a cucumber as the main ingredient."

Cao Xiangyu glanced at it and realized that the dish was only 68 yuan. It wasn't even worth as much as his pack of cigarettes, so he decided not to take it to heart.

At least he had a conscience.

"I don't want this cool salad. I want the rest of this dish as well."

Cao Xiangyu was dumbfounded.

Are you f*cking kidding me?!

"Sir, are you sure you want all this?"

"Actually, I can't eat this much, but if I order less, wouldn't it be a slap to Brother Cao's face? What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"

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

"Yeah, that's right." Lin Yi said. "By the way, give us another bottle of Chateau Latour."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter left, and Lin Yi said, "The waiters in this restaurant aren't that good. They actually looked down on Brother Cao. If it were me, I would have gotten them fired a long time ago."

"Brother Lin, calm down. It's not a big deal. We still have business to attend to. Let's not delay."

"Alright, let's talk while we eat."

Not long after, more than twenty delicacies were placed on the table. Lin Yi didn't stand during the ceremony. He opened the red wine and started eating.

"Brother Lin, I have something to discuss with you. Shall we talk now?"

"Sigh, sigh, there's no rush. We have to eat our fill first."

"Alright, alright, you eat first."

Cao Xiangyu lit a cigarette, his face full of disdain.

What was Wang Tianlong thinking?

He actually asked such a person to manage the factory.

If he really took over, they wouldn't last three months. Moreover, the end of the company would be worse than the death of the white bone spirit in Journey to the West.

Lin Yi ate his fill in about half an hour.

He took a hundred thousand yuan bottle of Chateau Latour and rinsed his mouth, then said with satisfaction,

"Brother Cao, what do you want to talk to me about? Let's start now."

"Now that you are in charge of the business of the sci-tech factory, we will be neighbors in the future. I want to introduce you to a business."

"What business? Is it profitable?"

"It is definitely profitable. Otherwise, how can it be called a business?"Cao Xiangyu said.

"Okay, what business? Tell me about it."

"Your production line has stopped, and my business just so happens to be a little busy right now. I'm thinking of diverting 20% of our orders to you guys and have you guys create OEM products. What do you think?"

"That's good!"

Lin Yi said in surprise, "How much can you pay for the OEMs?"

Cao Xiangyu and his secretary looked at each other, a smile on their faces.

They had been talking about money this whole time. This was probably someone who was greedy for money, and that would make things much easier.

"We'll give you 80 yuan for each chip."

"No way, what's the use of 80 yuan?" Lin Yi said disdainfully.

"Lin Bro, you're wrong. Each chip costs 80 yuan. What if we order 100,000 chips?"

"80 times 100,000, that's… wait, I'll get the calculator."

Lin Yi took out his phone and exclaimed, "Eight million?!"

"That's right, eight million is quite a lot." Cao Xiangyu said with a smile.

"Lin Bro, are you satisfied with this number?"

"No, it's still a bit low." Lin Yi said. "Let's round it up, 100 yuan each. I'm too lazy to do the math, and this will be exactly 10 million."

Chapter 320

"100 yuan a piece is a bit high." Cao Xiangyu pretended to be troubled.

That was what he said, but according to the current market, the price of a chip was about 110 yuan, so it was still a very low price.

He only offered him 80 yuan before because Cao Xiangyu did not respect Lin Yi.

Even if he asked for 100 yuan now, he could accept it.

Moreover, Cao Xiangyu was sure that Lin Yi was an amateur.

"Brother Cao, my price isn't that high. We have employees to support."

"But this price is a bit high to me. It's difficult for me to accept."

"Consider it a favor to me, Brother." Lin Yi said hopefully.

"I can try, but I have a small request," Cao Xiangyu said. "If Brother Lin agrees, I'll agree to the 100 yuan price."

"Sure, go ahead."

"You should help us with the production first. I'll postpone the contract payment by a few months," Cao Xiangyu said.

"But don't worry, we'll give you a million yuan in advance for staff expenses. We will ensure you don't lose anything."

"No way." Lin Yi rejected. "If you want to pay me later, I won't do it."

...

"Brother Lin, if you say that, you'll be walking a narrow path." Cao Xiangyu put his arm around Lin Yi's shoulder and called him brother.

"Think about it, you're helping your brother-in-law manage this factory. To put it bluntly, you're a part-time worker and you're getting a fixed salary. But if you help me to make this deal happen, do you think I'll treat you badly?"

"What do you mean?"

Cao Xiangyu gave his secretary a look, and the latter understood. She immediately took out a check for 500,000 yuan from her bag.

"This is a reward for you, it should be more than your annual salary, right?"

"Brother Cao, if you'd taken this out earlier, we wouldn't have to talk so much," Lin Yi said with a laugh.

"The delay will just be for a few months later. I'll tell my brother-in-law when I get back. We'll make it work."

"But there's one thing I have to explain in advance. You guys have to pay for the labor."

"No problem. Then we'll deduct it from the contract fees. The total is 10 million yuan. After deducting the labor, when it's time to pay, we'll just give you the net profit."

"Okay, okay, okay. Brother Cao will be in charge of this. I'll stay out of it. You can use the factory's equipment and warehouses as you like. I'll have nothing to do anyway." Lin Yi lit a cigarette casually and said casually.

"I'm f*cking confused. The factory's not that big, so why are there so many warehouses? If it wasn't for your order, I'd have f*cking demolished all of them and started raising fish."

"Raise fish?"

"I even found an excavator. I wanted to tear down those warehouses, dig a few big pits, and raise some koi fish to change my luck. I've been unlucky all these years and haven't made any money. I'm probably just missing these koi fish."

Cao Xiangyu was dumbfounded by Lin Yi's words.

How f*cking unreliable did he have to be to do something like this?

You can't make money because of your IQ, it has nothing to do with raising koi fish. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Brother Lin, you're really in a good mood. I'll get you some koi fish when I have time. I wish you good luck and for you to make a fortune in the future."

"Okay, okay, okay. It's settled then."

"Alright, that's it for today." Lin Yi smiled as he put the check into his pocket. "I still have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Let's meet again another day."

"Brother Lin, don't leave yet. We only made a verbal agreement, we haven't signed the contract yet."

"Do we still need to sign the contract? Do you still not trust my character?"

Cao Xiangyu laughed coldly in his heart.

'I really don't f*cking trust you!'

"Of course I trust Brother Lin's character, but this is the company's rule. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Alright then, when do you want to sign the contract?"

"I've already prepared it. Let's just sign it now."

At the same time, Cao Xiangyu's secretary took out her laptop and began to revise the contract that she had prepared beforehand. Then, she left to print two copies.

"Brother Lin, the contract is here. You just need to sign your name."

"No problem."

Lin Yi waved the pen and signed his name on the contract.

"Brother Cao, can I leave now? There are a few guys waiting for me at the bar. I can't miss tonight's show."

"Since Brother Lin has something to do, I won't force you to stay. I'll send you off."

"No need, no need. I'm not an outsider. I can leave by myself."

"Then I won't stand in ceremony with you."

"We're all on the same side. There's no need to stand in ceremony."

Lin Yi left happily with the check for 500,000 yuan.

Cao Xiangyu sat back in his chair and lit up a cigarette.

"I thought it would take more effort to take him down, but I didn't expect a mere check for 500,000 yuan to do the job. I really overestimated him."

"Although he has Sci-Tech, Wang Tianlong clearly chose the wrong person to manage it. With such a brother-in-law around, sooner or later he will be cheated to death," Cao Xiangyu's secretary said.

"That's true, but it's also beneficial to us," Cao Xiangyu said.

"At the very least, the problem surrounding contract manufacturing has been solved. Moreover, this is just a tentative cooperation. If there are no problems, we still need to increase the intensity of our sub-manufacturing. This will be good for Cisco."

"But negotiating with such a fool and offering him 100 yuan a piece to sub-manufacture is a pretty good price."

"Do you really think I'd give him so much money?" Cao Xiangyu said disdainfully.

"How are you going to escape payment?"

"Didn't we agree just now? Throughout the contract manufacturing period, our side will pay the labor fee and settle the net profit at the end." Cao Xiangyu flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said.

"When we settle, I will claim that the labor cost was very high. The 10 million was all spent on labor. After that, I'll give him a few dozen thousand yuan and he will be satisfied."

"President Cao, your methods are really good. Fortunately, I added this clause to the contract just now. Even if there is a dispute, they have no choice but to shoulder this loss."

"That's what I think." Cao Xiangyu crossed his legs and said.

"Based on the current situation, Sci-Tech has already become our second factory. Moreover, we don't have to spend a single cent more. What a wonderful deal."

The secretary walked behind Cao Xiangyu and massaged his shoulders.

"Not only did he help us solve the problem regarding our insufficient production capacity, but Sci-Tech also has enough warehouses to store our goods. I feel that even God is helping us."

Cao Xiangyu closed his eyes comfortably and he said in satisfaction,

"This time, I must show some achievements. I have to make my father see that I, Cao Xiangyu, am the truly capable one. The person who took over Cisco, that little b*tch, hasn't even started teething yet. How can she compare to me?!"

"Then what should we do next? Should we inform Chairman Cao of this good news as soon as possible?"

"Not for the time being. When the time comes, I want to give him a big surprise. I want to completely take back my dominant position in the Cao family. I want to ruthlessly trample everyone else under my feet!"

"That's a good idea. It won't be too late to give him this news after all the contract manufacturing business at Sci-Tech has stabilized."

"That's right, that's also what I was thinking."

Cao Xiangyu stepped on the cigarette butt and stretched lazily.

"Call the waiter over to settle the bill. I've already found the hotel where you and I can have some extra 'relaxation'."

"Mmm, I'm a little impatient too."

A few minutes later, the waiter walked in.

"Sir, your total bill this time is 426,800 yuan. We accept both bank transfer and card payment. Which do you prefer?"

"What did you say? This meal cost more than 400,000 yuan?"

Cao Xiangyu could not sit still.

"I calculated just now. This meal is at most 200,000 yuan. How can it now be twice as expensive?!"

"That gentleman just now took two bottles of Chateau Latour with him before he left."

Chapter 321

"F*ck!"

Cao Xiangyu cursed, "Isn't this kid too greedy? He ate and even ordered takeaway!"

"Darling, calm down," his female secretary comforted.

"It's not strange for a person like him to do such a thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so easy to take down."

"You're right." Cao Xiangyu said.

"He was going to tear down the warehouse and raise koi fish. It's the first time I've heard of someone like that."

"There's no need to be so calculative." The female secretary said, "We'll make more money using him in the future."

"Alright, go and settle the bill." Cao Xiangyu said. "Damn it, I'll definitely get the money back from you in the future!"

…

Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao after leaving the hotel. He heard that he and He Yuanyuan were at the company, so he drove to Lingyun Group.

"President Lin, you're here."

Qi Xianzhao stood up to greet Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded and looked at He Yuanyuan. "He's already standing up, so why are you still sitting there? Don't tell me I'm not as attractive as your spicy hotpot?"

...

"Boss, look at what you're saying. You're the most attractive person in my heart. Let's talk things out, there's no need to deduct my salary."

"Then why are you eating even more vigorously now?" Lin Yi said.

"I've been here for so long, yet you won't even let me have a bite?"

"Pfft!"

Yuanyuan couldn't help but spit out all the meatballs she had eaten.

"Boss, don't make me laugh. I have to work overtime later."

"I'll give you some benefits since you two are working so hard."

Lin Yi threw the two bottles of Chateau Latour onto the table.

"One for each of you. Take it home and drink it up."

"Chateau Latour? I heard it sells for more than 100,000 yuan a bottle." He Yuanyuan said in disbelief. "When did you become so generous?"

"I got it from a fool. Why would I spend my own money to buy things for you guys?"

"That's what I'm talking about, Boss. You should never leave empty-handed. You have to bring something back when you go out."

"Alright, let's not argue anymore. It's getting late." Lin Yi said.

"I've been gone for so many days. Is there anything going on at the company?"

"Brother Qi and I have our eyes on a few more projects. They've sent over the information surrounding the companies. Brother Qi and I are studying how much money to invest in them. It's no fun just handling these small deals. We need to invest in a few big projects."

Qi Xianzhao didn't say much as he handed the documents over.

Lin Yi took the documents and said casually,

"When you invest in the future, look at their background more often. Don't run into idiots like Chen Junye again."

Qi Xianzhao had already told He Yuanyuan about Chen Junye, so she knew what was going on.

"Got it, President Lin."

Lin Yi nodded as he flipped through the documents in his hands.

There was a report that he found interesting.

"Hmm? You guys invested in Fenglan Culture?"

"We are only thinking of investing in them, but we haven't decided yet. Is there a problem, President Lin?" Qi Xianzhao asked.

"Didn't I tell you guys before that we want to invest in the technology industry? Why is a media company being considered?"

"The reason we want to invest in this company has nothing to do with our business plan. It's mainly to improve the Lingyun Group's appearance," Qi Xianzhao said.

"If we don't have a good PR company, we probably won't be able to handle any future PR problems."

Lin Yi understood what Qi Xianzhao meant.

To put it bluntly, they were investing in this media company so that the latter could support Lingyun Group.

"If you don't have any other thoughts on this, you can dismiss this idea for now. The company is just starting out anyway, so there shouldn't be too many PR problems. We're not in a hurry."

"Normally, a new company won't have too many PR problems, but the bosses of those companies are normal. In contrast, our boss has just opened for business a few days ago, and he's already been sued in court. Hehehe… I think investing in such a PR company is necessary." Qi Xianzhao said/

"Ah, ah, ah, personal attacks are boring." Lin Yi said.

"We're all graduates of famous schools, so why attack each other like this?"

"Stop, stop." Yuanyuan said.

"Brother Qi and I are the ones who graduated from famous schools, but what about you?"

"What's the use of that? Didn't you still end up working for me?"

He Yuanyuan, "…"

Where's my knife?

"Alright, Yuanyuan, you're the CEO after all. You shouldn't talk like that," Qi Xianzhao said with a smile.

"Fine, fine, fine. I'll keep my mouth shut."

Qi Xianzhao turned to look at Lin Yi.

"President Lin, do you have any opinions on the investment into Fenglan Culture?"

"No, I don't. The main thing is that the primary shareholder of this company is very interesting."

Lin Yi took out the document and waved it in front of the two.

"It's Cao Jingqiu!"

Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan lost their composure when they saw the person's name.

"If I remember correctly, that's the name of Cao Jiadong's youngest daughter," He Yuanyuan said.

"That's right. Check later and see if Cao Jingqiu shares the same name as Cao Jiadong's daughter. If it's just a coincidence, then deal with it normally. But if it's not, then don't touch this investment. I'll handle it myself."

The two nodded when they saw Lin Yi's serious expression.

Yuanyuan had a bad feeling about this.

If this wasn't a coincidence and she was really Cao Jiadong's daughter, then the whole family would probably be screwed by the boss.

Lin Yi didn't sit around idly after that. He looked at the materials concerning the other companies before leaving.

However, before he left, he chased Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan away as well.

Hard work was good, but what was the point of working too hard? One had to combine work and rest.

After leaving the company, Lin Yi returned to the Jiuzhou Pavilion.

The company's development had been stable during the time he was gone.

With Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan in charge, he could completely let go of the reins.

What he needed to do next was to wait for Shen Tianzhuo to return to the country.

Although he didn't give him a definite answer, there wouldn't be any issues regarding this matter.

It was just that the exact date of Shen Tianzhuo's return wasn't something Lin Yi could control.

In short, everything in front of him was developing in the right direction.

All he could do was push little by little as they ascended the peak.

Lin Yi stretched his back after sorting everything out, feeling much more relaxed.

There was nothing else for him to do now, so he could focus on his task.

After washing up, Lin Yi went back to bed and happened to see a WeChat message from Ji Qingyan.

Ji Qingyan, "Mr. Lin, don't forget to pick me up tomorrow. If your passenger sees a bouquet of roses on the seat, I think she might give you a five-star review."

Chapter 322

Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Ji Qingyan's message.

If she wanted a rose, why couldn't she just ask for one?

Lin Yi, "That'll depend on my mood."

A few minutes later, the phone was still silent.

Lin Yi guessed that Ji Qingyan might have seen it, but she didn't reply.

She was fully displaying her prideful nature.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. It didn't seem like much fun just sending one bouquet.

He looked at the time and realized that it was only eight in the evening. The flower shop should still be open in the city that never sleeps.

If he used his time wisely, he should still be able to make it.

After making up his mind, Lin Yi drove to Wenshun Road in?Zhonghai1.

This was the main flower street in Zhonghai. High, middle, and low-end flower shops could all be found here.

Lin Yi found the biggest flower shop on Wenshun Road and walked straight in.

"Look, that little brother is so handsome!"

...

Seeing Lin Yi come in, the female employees were infatuated by him. Their eyes were full of stars.

"If he is coming to buy flowers at this time, it should be for his girlfriend, right?"

"Which woman is so lucky to find a boyfriend as handsome as that little brother?"

"Perhaps she saved the Milky Way galaxy in her previous life."

Seeing the infatuated look on the female employees' faces, the middle-aged female store manager shook her head.

These little girls were still so immature.

Being handsome was indeed an advantage, but in this realistic society, if one didn't have money, they would be knocked down by the challenges of life.

Too naive.

"Can you guys behave yourselves? Why do you lose your footing the moment you see a handsome guy?"

"It's mainly because he's too handsome," a long-haired female shop assistant said.

"If it wasn't for my period, I would definitely go up and seduce him."

"F*ck, if it were me, I would let him run all my red lights."

The female boss shook her head helplessly. As someone who had been through this before, it seemed like she had to teach them a lesson.

"Sister Xia, I can't believe that you're not tempted by him at all," the long-haired female shop assistant said.

"What's there to be tempted by? My husband is good to me and has given me enough food and clothing. I'm very satisfied with my current life and won't be tempted by anyone else."

"I don't believe it. You must be faking it."

"You guys are just naive and shallow. You only know how to look at someone's face," the boss said.

"I'm not bragging to you guys. When I was young, there were all kinds of handsome guys chasing after me, and their looks weren't any worse than his…"

"Sister Xia, if you say that, then you'll sound even more pretentious."

"What? You guys still don't believe me?"

"We believe that when you were young, there were people chasing after you, but we don't believe that they'd be as handsome as him."

"Alright then, they indeed were not as handsome as him," the female store manager said.

"But what I want to say is that being handsome won't put food on the table. Only with a strong economic foundation can one hope to climb the social ladder."

"That's true, but how do you know he doesn't have money?"

"Do you know any rich second generation who would come out to buy flowers?" The female store manager said.

"As long as he gives the slightest signal, those women would all take the initiative to buy birth control and wait for him at the hotel. Only poor people would buy flowers to give them away."

Hearing the female store manager's analysis, the female employees nodded in unison. This seemed to make sense.

"Is there a pharmacy on Wenshun Road?" The long-haired salesgirl asked.

"Why are you looking for a pharmacy? Are you not feeling well?"

"I'm going to buy some birth control."

The manager, "…"

It seemed like she had to teach them a lesson through actions.

After walking around the store for a while, Lin Yi noticed that there was quite a variety of roses in the store.

Even the most difficult-to-buy blue enchantress was sold here, but the price was a little ridiculous at 199 yuan per flower.

Lin Yi walked to the counter and asked,

"I'd like to buy some roses. Will they still be fresh the next morning?"

"Sir, we're closed. I'm really sorry," the female boss said.

"Closed?" Lin Yi was surprised. "Aren't you still open?"

"We're closing at nine o'clock, and we're currently doing our end-of-day accounting, so we're not doing any more business."

"Alright then, sorry to bother you."

Lin Yi didn't waste any words and turned around to leave.

The female employees were all dumbfounded. The boss was so cocky that he dared to reject a handsome man of this level.

"Ah, what a pity."

Buzz Buzz Buzz…

At that moment, a loud noise came from outside the shop, startling the women in the shop.

"What's that noise? It's too loud."

"It sounds like a car engine."

"How is that possible? How can a car make such a loud noise?"

"You're so stupid. A small shabby car doesn't make such a loud noise. It's obviously a sports car!"

Several female shop assistants ran to the window, their eyeballs almost falling out.

"Damn, it's really a sports car. It's being driven by that little brother from just now!"

"What?! He drove a sports car here?"

The female store manager was stunned. She quickly put down her work and ran out.

It really was a sports car!

What was going on?

A rich and handsome second generation actually came to buy flowers. This was too counterintuitive!

He didn't need to do such things, right?

"Hey, hey, hey, Little Handsome Brother, wait!"

Lin Yi didn't hear the female boss calling him, so he drove to another flower shop a hundred meters away. It was called the Love Flower Shop.

The name was a little vulgar, but it was decent-sized.

"Handsome, wait!"

Lin Yi had just parked his car when he saw the female boss running all the way over.

"What's up?"

"Didn't you want to check out some flowers? Come to our shop."

"Didn't you close the shop? What could I possibly buy?"

The female boss paused. If she had known that he drove a sports car here, she wouldn't have closed the shop!

"It was a misunderstanding. The customer is God. You came to our shop, so how could we close early?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? You came to steal our business, right?"

The person who spoke was the owner of the flower shop.

He personally came out to greet Lin Yi when he saw him driving his sports car over. He didn't expect someone to steal his business at this time. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢

"What do you mean by stealing your business?" The female owner didn't want to hear it. "He went to our shop when he arrived. How can you say that he's your customer?"

"But didn't you guys close the shop? How dare you come and interfere? This is too much."

"I'm just doing normal business…"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Lin Yi said speechlessly. "How many roses do you have in your shop?"

"We have about 2,000 roses in all kinds of varieties, and we have our own flower beds, so we can prepare them immediately," the female boss said.

"We have our own flower beds too. We can afford to prepare as many as you want," the boss said.

"I don't care how many you have. I want them all. Get me a truck and help me set up at the location I give you. I need it all done by 5 am. Can you do that?"

"All of them?"

Lin Yi nodded. "All of them."

"Got it, got it. We'll go get them ready…"

…

The next morning, Lin Yi drove to Ji Qingyan's Yunshui Villa. Breakfast was already on the table when he arrived.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat."

Ji Qingyan was wearing an apron, and when she saw Lin Yi, she brought him his slippers.

As she spoke, Ji Qingyan looked around.

"Did you come empty-handed?"

Chapter 323

"Then should I have still come? You didn't say you wanted anything else."

"Uh... that's true."

Ji Qingyan returned to normal. "Quickly change your shoes and come in for breakfast. It will get cold soon."

Ji Qingyan's breakfast was a combination of Huaxian and Western food. It was not difficult to prepare, but the taste was not bad and the food was still very edible.

After the meal, Ji Qingyan went upstairs to change. At the same time, she was filled with anticipation.

"A man like Lin Yi would never bring flowers by himself. Maybe he put them in the car. That must be it."

"Why are you all dressed up today?"

Ji Qingyan's style didn't change much, but her makeup was a little thicker today. It wasn't as simple and elegant as usual.

"My doctoral classmate is back. He is coming to the company today, so I have to dress up a little."

Lin Yi could guess what Ji Qingyan was thinking.

"You're trying to outshine others, aren't you?"

"Ah, don't be so direct. It's a form of respect. You wouldn't understand."

"You beat them in terms of both looks and figure, and you still try to call it respect. You capitalists are so full of benevolence and morality."

...

"Aren't you the same? Yuanyuan and the others work overtime every day, and you call it a blessing."

"Hehehe."

"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. Send me to work," Ji Qingyan said with anticipation.

However, she had already decided in her heart that when she saw the big bouquet of red roses, she couldn't get excited!

She had to be calm!

She had previously told Lin Yi that there were people sending flowers to her every day. This small scene was nothing to her at all.

It was settled then!

Although that was what she thought to herself, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

She even placed an order in advance, which was enough to show how happy she was.

She opened the door and got into the car, only to find that the car was empty. There was nothing inside.

Her high mood instantly fell. Even after she sat down, she looked around a few times.

Did he really not prepare anything?

Her hope was matched only by her disappointment.

As expected, Lin Yi had ignored her. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Forget it, forget it. He's just like that. It's not a big deal if he didn't prepare for it," Ji Qingyan comforted him in her heart.

Thirty minutes later, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group.

"I'm not going into the underground parking lot today. Just stop at the gate. My classmate is already there. She's waiting for me there."

"Okay."

Lin Yi drove the car to the entrance and saw a girl in a long dress standing there.

Her hair was combed into a bun, and her looks and figure were only slightly worse than Ji Qingyan.

On the way, Ji Qingyan had talked a bit about her doctoral classmate, Lu Tian. The two were very close, and He Yuanyuan knew her very well.

"Tiantian, you must have kept waiting. There was a traffic jam," Ji Qingyan said apologetically.

"I don't believe you."Lu Tian said with a smile.

"You must have spent all your time on makeup. You were like this when you were in school. Whenever something happens, you put on the most makeup."

"Oh, no, there was really a traffic jam," Ji Qingyan said embarrassedly. Lin Yi was still here. How could she reveal her background like that?

"Alright, alright, I'll stop." Lu Tian said with a smile.

"Your boyfriend is not bad. Not only does he drive a Lykan, he's also very handsome."

After that, Lu Tian reached out her hand. "Hello, I'm Lu Tian. Qingyan has often told me about you."

Lin Yi also reached out his hand. "Lin Yi, she has also told me a lot about you."

Ji Qingyan smiled embarrassedly. "Alright, let's go in. He still has work to do. Let's not disturb him."

"Alright, let's go."

Ji Qingyan turned to look at Lin Yi. "We'll go in first. Drive slowly and be careful."

"Got it."

Lin Yi drove away after seeing the two enter the office building.

Thinking back to the scene just now, Lin Yi realized that Ji Qingyan was no different from other young girls.

Tsundere disease, a girlish heart, love of beauty, and a little bit of vanity.

However, her vanity did not come from what kind of car she drove, but whether there were roses in the car.

When the two of them entered the office building, Lu Tian smiled at Ji Qingyan and said, "To be able to win the heart of the campus belle of Yan University, he must be quite extraordinary. He was indeed very handsome."

"Aiya, what are you talking about? Good looks don't mean everything."

"I'm just curious how he managed to win you over." Lu Tian teased, "He must have used a lot of sugar-coated bullets like roses and diamond rings."

"No, he didn't. He didn't waste any time on those at all. He's a straightforward guy."

Ji Qingyan felt regretful. If only Lin Yi had prepared a bouquet of roses for her in the car.

Now she could wish that Lin Yi was a romantic person.

However, this was not the case, so she could only cast aside such thoughts and hide her embarrassment.

"No way. I thought you hated straightforward guys the most." Lu Tian said.

"I used to watch Korean dramas when we were in school. I couldn't control myself when I saw the male lead giving the female lead roses. What happened now? Did you compromise due to his looks?"

"No way. I still think about it. I haven't agreed to this arrangement yet," Ji Qingyan said desperately.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, I thought about it in the same car earlier."

"Aiya, let's not talk about this for now. Let's just head back to my office to chat."

After getting off the elevator, Ji Qingyan took out her keys and opened the office door.

The fragrance of the flowers instantly spread from the office.

The huge office was like a sea of roses. Other than the office desk, there was no place to rest.

Ji Qingyan stood rooted to the ground, her heart beating fast. The keys in her hand fell to the ground.

It was obvious that Lin Yi must have prepared it.

She wanted a bouquet of roses, but he... he got so many of them?

Did he spend the whole night preparing them?!

"Qingyan, I think you're just trying to be nice. He prepared so many roses, yet you still call him straightforward? That's too much," Lu Tian said sourly.

"This guy, what's the point of preparing so much? It's such a waste," Ji Qingyan said, pretending to be disgusted. "Actually, I don't like these things."

"Actor. I hate people like you who say they don't want it, while your bodies are unable to hide the truth." Lu Tian said.

"I'm guessing you do the same when you're in bed. You hug them tightly while loudly saying no."

Ji Qingyan's face instantly turned red. "No, I don't. Don't talk nonsense."

Looking at the sea of roses in the office, Ji Qingyan still found it hard to calm her emotions.

She had only wanted a small bouquet of roses to satisfy her vanity in front of her good friend, but he had given her such a big surprise.

It was the same when they rode the Ferris wheel.

He had never let her down.

Such a man was worth trusting.

Chapter 324

"You have a new order, please look at it."

As Lin Yi was strolling down the street, a new order appeared on his phone.

He looked at the location of the order and saw that it was from Fugui Home to Wanda Plaza.

Lin Yi thought about it but found himself to be unfamiliar with Fugui Home, so he followed the navigational directions.

As one could tell from the name, it was an old residential area.

The market stalls on both sides of the road were still open, and aunties and uncles carefully choosing their vegetables and goods gave Lin Yi a headache. The road wasn't in very good condition either, and he couldn't enter.

Lin Yi took his phone and dialed the customer's number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Huang with the tail number 9421?"

"That's me."

"I'm your Didi driver. There's a market in front of your neighborhood, and the road conditions aren't too good. I can't enter it. Can you walk a few dozen meters outside? I'm right next to the market."

"Bad road conditions? What kind of reason is that?" The other party was unwilling to compromise, "There are cars coming in and out of the neighborhood every day. They never claim that the road conditions aren't good. Why can't you come here? It's only a few dozen meters. How much gas can you save by refusing to enter?"

"It's not about the gas. It's just that the chassis of my car is too low, so it'll get easily scrapped."

"Are you kidding me? I often use Didi and come to the door to pick me up. Why are you claiming that your car chassis is too low? Do you drive a sports car?!"

...

"I drive a sports car."

"Stop f*cking bragging. If you drive a sports car, I drive a rocket," the other party said bluntly.

"Hurry up and drive in. Don't waste my time, or I'll file a complaint!"

"Will you be responsible if the car gets scratched?"

"I'll be responsible if it gets scratched. Damn it, you won't get rich by saving that little gas money!"

Lin Yi turned on the recording function. "Will you be responsible if the car gets scratched?"

"F*ck, can you stop wasting my time? If I wasn't in a hurry, I wouldn't take your car!" The man cursed. "It's just a broken car, I can pay for it!"

"If you say that, then I won't be afraid anymore."

As he spoke, Lin Yi drove the car into the community.

Seeing the fiery red Lykan driving in, the aunties who were busy picking goods at the stall automatically gave way.

Although they didn't know how much the car cost, it was definitely not cheap. Thus, it was better to stand further away.

As Lin Yi drove the car into the neighborhood, he shocked some of the young men and women who were going about their business.

There was actually a supercar in such an old residential area?!

Who were they here to pick up?

At this moment, a young couple in their early thirties stood at the entrance of Unit 3, Building 4.

The man's name was Huang Hesong, and the woman was his wife, Li Xiaoyu.

"What's going on? Why were you cursing just now? There are so many people in the residential area watching," Li Xiaoyu said.

"Don't bring it up. I called a Didi driver, but he parked the car at the entrance of the market and wanted me to walk out!" Said Huang Hesong.

"What kind of service is that? He wants us to walk out?"

"I know. I think he's lazy and wants to save some gas money, which is why he said this," said Huang Hesong.

"I've thought it through. When we get to the place, I'll give him a bad review."

"Heh, giving him a bad review would be too kind," Li Xiaoyu said.

"These people are so lazy and arrogant. I don't know why they can be so prideful."

"Exactly. And the reason he gave was really weird. He said that he was driving a sports car and that the road into the neighborhood was uneven. He was afraid that he would scratch the chassis and didn't want to drive in. What kind of f*cking reason is that?"

"He said that he was driving a sports car?" Li Xiaoyu said in surprise, "This driver's brain isn't working. How dare he offer such a reason?"

"Exactly. I'm convinced by this kind of person," Huang Hesong said.

"When we were talking just now, I had thought it through. I am going to make him come in then give him a bad review and file a complaint after."

"Yes, let's do that!" 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

Boom Boom Boom!

Just as the two of them were talking, they heard an unexpected roar.

The people passing by all looked over subconsciously.

They were shocked to find a red sports car driving over from not far away.

"Isn't… isn't that a Lykan?!"

Huang Hesong was an out-and-out movie fan. He was especially fond of the Fast and Furious series.

That was why he recognized the car at a glance. It was the famous Lykan!

He didn't expect to see a car worth more than 60 million in such an old neighborhood. It was too exciting.

"You must be Mr. Huang with the tail number 9421."

Huang Hesong and Li Xiaoyu were stunned when they heard Lin Yi's question.

"You… how do you know my phone number?"

"I'm the Didi driver. Didn't you tell me to drive in and pick you up?"

"You… You're the owner of Didi?"Lin Yi asked

Huang Hesong and his wife were the perfect example of what it meant to be confused.

The people in the neighborhood were also staring at Lin Yi with their eyes wide open. No one had expected someone to use a supercar to drive for Didi.

"That's right, I am."

Huang Hesong was excited. Wasn't he a little too lucky today?

How could he get to ride in such a good car just by taking a cab?!

If he could just sit inside it for a while, he'd be able to brag to his colleagues after he got to the company.

"Don't get in the car yet," Lin Yi said.

"I scratched the chassis when I entered the neighborhood. Didn't you say that you'd be responsible if I scratched the car? I'll call the insurance company now. Let's discuss the compensation."

"Compensation?!"

Huang Hesong and Li Xiaoyu were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

They had indeed said something like that just now.

But this was a Lykan!

It was worth more than 60 million!

For a car like this, even a light scratch on the chassis would cost at least 100,000. It was enough for them to buy a small car.

"I… I was joking just now…"

"Joking? That's none of my business. Anyway, I drove the car according to your request. Moreover, you said that you would compensate me for any loss, so there's nothing more to discuss."

Huang Hesong's blood was drained from his face, and his excited expression had completely disappeared.

He simply couldn't afford to compensate for this!

"Don't be so unreasonable!" Li Xiaoyu said, "My husband never said anything like that. You drove in voluntarily. It has nothing to do with us."

"Right, right, right. It has nothing to do with me. You drove here of your own free will. Don't be so stubborn."

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. "I knew you guys wouldn't admit to it, and that's why I recorded it in advance."

"You… You recorded it?"

Both of them were flabbergasted. Their earlier confidence vanished into thin air.

"Recording… So what if you recorded it?" Li Xiaoyu said. "Who knows when the chassis of your car was scraped? Don't try to blame us for this!"

"If that's the case, then you're being a little unreasonable."

"What do you mean we're being unreasonable? I think you're just trying to extort us!" Li Xiaoyu said.

"And I have your details. Before I report you, you'd better be sensible and leave quickly!"

Chapter 325

"You're going to report me?"

Lin Yi laughed. "I should be the one reporting you."

"Don't you know your position? You're going to report us?" Li Xiaoyu said, refusing to back down.

"You came here with one of Didi's cars to do business, and now you're going around swindling others, trying to extort money from us!"

"So that's what happened!"

Huang Hesong also came to a realization. "So you drove the company's car and came out to try to scam us."

"That's right. Doesn't Didi have a luxury car line? These are definitely the company's cars."

"That's what I said. How could a normal person be willing to take out such a good car to drive for Didi? After all this time, it's all a lie!" Huang Hesong said.

Li Xiaoyu crossed her arms in front of her chest. "We don't want to argue with you about what happened today. Hurry up and leave. If we report you, not only will you be fired, but you might even get a prison sentence. Don't say that I didn't warn you."

"I won't be leaving today. You can report me. Let me see how you can have me sent to prison."

"Okay, then you just wait. I'll make a complaint right now!"

Li Xiaoyu took out her phone and found Didi's complaint number.

"Is this Didi? I want to complain about one of your Didi drivers committing fraud. The license plate number is HU ANB666!"

...

"Yes, I didn't see wrongly. It's Hu ANB666. It's a red Lykan. It's trying to run scams everywhere. I hope you can deal with it and compensate us for the mental damage!"

"We're at the entrance of building four in Fugui Home. You can see us as soon as you enter."

"Okay."

"Honey, what did they say?" Huang Hesong asked.

"Didi's people were very cooperative. When they heard that it was their driver who swindled us, they immediately said that they would send someone to deal with it," Li Xiaoyu said.

"We're still going to go out later today, but let's just keep him company until then!"

"Yeah, we have to make him pay for our mental damage!"

Everyone saw the arrogant looks on their faces.

The old lady who was watching from the side said, "Young man, I think you'd better leave quickly. You can't afford to mess with them."

"Why can't I? It's not like they have three heads and six arms."

"They're famous for being deadbeats in this neighborhood. They'll definitely extort you of a lot of money," the old lady advised. "There's no need to fight with them. You'll definitely be the one to suffer in the end."

"It's fine. I believe in karma," Lin Yi said with a smile.

The bystanders shook their heads. It looked like this young man had a bad temper too.

He was going to fight with them head-on.

"You're the real bad guy here. I hope you don't chicken out when your boss comes," Li Xiaoyu said.

"You're really brave to drive a company car around to swindle people. You'll go to jail for a long time."

"Kid, we won't make things difficult for you. Withdraw ten thousand for us and we'll consider this matter settled," Huang Hesong said.

"Even if you don't pursue this matter, I'll still pursue it," Lin Yi said with a smile. "You have to be reasonable. You can't keep being shameless."

"Hehe, how dare you say that we're shameless?" Li Xiaoyu said. "You're personally attacking us. We were willing to settle this if you pay us ten thousand just now. Now, don't even think about leaving without giving us at least twenty thousand!"

"Retarded people appear every year, and there's a lot of them this year. You've really broadened my horizons."

"We're too lazy to continue talking to you. You'll have to suffer when the officials come." Li Xiaoyu said.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a Bentley and a BMW 7 Series drove in from outside the community and stopped beside Lin Yi's Lykan.

The door opened and four people got out of the car. Lin Yi glanced at them, but didn't seem to recognize them.

He honestly didn't have the right to be a shareholder anymore.

Huang Hesong and Li Xiaoyu walked over enthusiastically when they saw the man getting out of the Bentley.

"You must be the boss of Didi. We want to report this person who drove your company's luxury car out to swindle us. Don't you need to deal with this seriously?" Huang Hesong said.

"I think you have had a misunderstanding about this matter."

The man who spoke was slightly chubby and wore a suit. His name was Yang Chao. He was the person in charge of Didi's Zhonghai Business Department. He had just been promoted recently.

"Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding?" Li Xiaoyu said.

"The situation is already very clear. He came out to drive for Didi. We asked him to come fetch us and then he said that his chassis was scratched and that we had to pay for it. It's crystal clear. Don't tell me that you still want to protect him?"

"Looks like I have to introduce Director Lin to you guys before we deal with this."

Yang Chao straightened his expression and said, "The person standing in front of you is Didi's second-largest shareholder, Director Lin Yi. Although Didi has a luxury car business, we can't afford a Lykan worth more than 60 million yuan."

"To put it simply, this Lykan doesn't belong to our company. It personally belongs to our Director Lin, so Director Lin didn't drive the company's car to scam us."

"Secondly, with Director Lin's status, he wouldn't go so far as to scam small figures like you. In view of your defamation of Director Lin's reputation, our company will pursue this matter to the very end."

Stunned…

Huang Hesong and Li Xiaoyu's faces were as pale as rats.

"You… you say that he's Didi's second-largest shareholder?"

"That's right, he's worth ten billion." Yang Chao snorted. "You're slandering Director Lin for swindling, what nonsense!"

Hiss…

The crowd sucked in a breath of cold air after confirming Lin Yi's identity.

He was so handsome and so rich, yet he actually came out to run for Didi. What was up with this guy's acting?

"We, we…"

Huang Hesong's mouth was hanging open, and he was too scared to say anything.

What the hell was going on? Why did he meet such a powerful person?!

"Director Lin, I'm really sorry. We'll handle this properly,"Yang Chao said respectfully.

"Things like this do need to be taken seriously," Lin Yi said.

"The passengers these days are all making trouble for no reason. They bully Didi's drivers just because they're passengers. We can't let this matter go easily."

"We understand."

"Oh, and make them pay the money for the car repair at the same time."

"Understood!"

"No, no!"

Huang Hesong pulled Lin Yi's arm and kneeled on the ground. "Director Lin, please give us a chance. We really can't afford to pay you."

"If you can't afford it, then go to jail. What does that have to do with me?"

Lin Yi drove off after saying that.

Yang Chao would take care of the rest. There was no need for him to follow up on it.

Lin Yi continued to take orders after leaving that community.

At one o'clock, Lin Yi took six orders and drove for more than 80 kilometers. Yet, he only got one five-star review in the process.

Despite this, it didn't matter to Lin Yi anymore. The system's mission requirement was based only on the number of kilometers. The reviews could f*ck off. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

After working all morning, Lin Yi was about to find a place to eat when his phone rang. It was a call from Wang Ran.

"Boohoohoo… Teacher Lin, I'm in trouble. Can you help me?"

Chapter 326

"What happened? Speak slowly," Lin Yi said.

"I crashed into a car when I went out to buy some medicine for my mom. I know I'll have to pay a lot of money for this…"

"Alright, I got it. Where are you?"

"Near the bus stop on Route 89."

"Wait for me there. I'll be there right over."

"Thank you, thank you, Teacher Lin." 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

He hung up the phone and drove towards Ran's house.

..

At the bus stop on Route 89.

A white Mustang was parked on the side of the road with a bicycle lying beside it. There was a large crowd surrounding it.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose. I'll pay you for it."

Wang Ran looked a little disheveled. Her pants were covered in dust, but she was lucky that she wasn't injured.

"Little girl, I just bought this new car. It hasn't even been a week, and you hit it. My heart aches so much."

...

The owner of the Mustang was a man in his thirties. He was a little fat and looked like an honest fellow.

Beside the owner was a woman in a dress. Her expression was cold, and she was obviously very angry.

"I know it's my fault. I didn't look at the road in front of me. I'm really sorry."

"This isn't something that can be settled just because you're sorry. Even if the new car is repaired, it's still forever viewed as refurbished," the owner of the Mustang complained.

It could be seen that he didn't want to make things difficult for Wang Ran. It was just that his heart ached when the car was hit.

"What are you talking about? Just make her pay for it. The car door is dented, and a large piece of it was scratched. It'll cost at least 20,000 yuan to go to a 4S shop to repair it," the woman in a one-piece dress said.

Wang Ran was shocked. She did not expect to spend so much money on this.

She only had 500 yuan in her pocket. It was not enough to pay for the cost.

"I think it's okay." The car owner said, "This little girl's conditions are not that good. She can't take out so much money. This is just bad luck, so we'll claim it from insurance."

"I… I still have 500 yuan. I'll give it to you."

Wang Ran took out all the money from her pocket.

Seeing the crumpled notes, the owner of the car could not bear it, but her wife was not going to let the matter go.

"Are you kidding me? Our car cost almost 200,000 yuan. Your 500 yuan should be in US dollars!"

"Then, then can you wait for a while? When my teacher comes, I will borrow the money."

"Your teacher?" The owner's wife crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Your teacher isn't related to you, so why would he lend you the money?"

Wang Ran stopped talking. It was true that she didn't know if Lin Yi would lend her the money.

However, at this time, the only person she could count on was Lin Yi.

Boom Boom Boom…

The Lykan's engine was like the roar of a beast, attracting everyone's attention.

"This looks like the Lykan Super 7."

"I heard that a car is worth tens of millions. Why is it here?"

The Lykan stopped in front of Wang Ran under everyone's gaze.

The scissors door slowly opened and Lin Yi got out of the car.

"What a handsome rich kid!"

"A handsome guy with a supercar, how attractive!"

"Teacher Lin."

Wang Ran over to Lin Yi when she saw him getting down with tears streaming down her face.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but I hit someone's car."

"It's okay as long as you're fine. Why are you crying?"

Lin Yi walked over to the owner of the car.

"You're the owner of this Mustang, right?"

"I… I Am…"

The owner was a little nervous. This man's aura was too powerful. It was the first time in his life that he was dealing with such a rich kid.

Even his wife wasn't as confident as before after seeing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded as he looked at the scene of the accident. It seemed like the fault really did lay on Wang Ran.

"Tell me what you guys think, and try to come up with a reasonable solution," Lin Yi said.

"This is a top-quality car. We spent nearly 200,000 yuan on it, and it'll cost us 20,000 yuan to go to the 4S shop to fix it. Do as you see fit," the owner's wife said.

"Bro, we don't want to extort any money, but I just bought this car. I've only been driving it for less than a week. It's really not about the money."

The owner's hands kept shaking as he spoke.

These rich second-generation kids weren't easy to deal with.

If they made him unhappy, Lin Yi might not even pay for it, and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"I like cars too, and I understand how you feel," Lin Yi said. "Can I borrow your phone?"

"Phone?"

Although he didn't understand, the owner still handed his phone over.

Lin Yi found his Wechat, pulled out the payment code, and scanned it for 200,000 yuan.

"Didn't you spend nearly 200,000 yuan on this car? I'll pay you 200,000 yuan. I'll take this car, and you can buy a new one."

The air around them seemed to freeze at that moment.

Other people claimed insurance when they got into a car accident, but Lin Yi actually paid for a new car?!

This was the f*cking rich second generation!

This was the real deal!

"You guys wait here for a while. I'll call someone over to handle the paperwork with you guys. Is that okay?"

"Yes, yes."

The couple nodded quickly. Lin Yi was already being so polite. If they continued to act arrogant, his kindness might not last much longer.

Lin Yi called Zhou Haitao to handle the handover.

He told him to sell the car and buy a new car for Wang Ran with the money he got from the sale. With that, the problem would be solved perfectly.

"Get in the car, I'll take you back."

"I still have to push the bike back," Wang Ran said in a low voice.

"What do you need a broken bike for?" Lin Yi said. "Cut the crap, get in the car."

"Got it, got it."

Wang Ran got in the car and they drove toward Shu Guang District.

"Teacher Lin, I owe you 500,000 now."

"Alright, pay it back slowly. I happened to have a task for you recently."

"Are you going to arrange a job for me?" Wang Ran asked excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm short of people right now. You can start early."

"Yeah yeah, I just finished my exams." Wang Ran said. "Teacher Lin, did you have lunch yet? Come to my house. I can prepare anything you want. I won't shy away from the work ."

"I can go to your house for a bite. It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet."

When they reached Wang Ran's house, Lin Yi realized that there was no one at home.

"Where's your mother?"

"My mother went to my aunt's house. She'll only be back in the evening."

After entering the house, Wang Ran put on an apron and went into the kitchen.

"Teacher Lin, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Just cook some noodles. I have other things to do in the afternoon."

"Then I'll also make you two poached eggs."

In Wang Ran's world view, a bowl of noodles and two poached eggs were considered a big meal.

Before Lin Yi got the system, this kind of lunch was considered a big meal to him as well.

Soon, the noodles with poached eggs were served on the table. Lin Yi didn't stand during the ceremony and started eating.

"Teacher Lin, what kind of job are you going to arrange for me?"

"Be my secretary for now. You will mainly be responsible for engaging with Cisco. The salary is 8000 a month. Whether you can increase the salary in the future depends on your own ability."

Chapter 327

"8,000 yuan?"

Wang Ran was dumbfounded. "Teacher Lin, you don't have to purposely take care of me. Normal University isn't a good school, and 3,000 yuan is already considered a very high salary for its graduates."

"I'm the CEO, so 8,000 yuan isn't too much to me. It's a normal salary," Lin Yi said.

"Besides, if you don't do a good job, your salary will be deducted. Don't take it too lightly."

"Well, I think it's too much. I don't think I'm worth that much," Wang Ran said gratefully. "Thank you, Teacher Lin, for taking care of me."

"Let me give you a task," Lin Yi said.

"Your current job is mainly to connect with a person called Cao Xiangyu. He's the director of Cisco Electronics, and we'll have a lot of business dealings with him in the future, so you have to familiarize yourself with the business as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to carry out the follow-up work."

"Got it, Teacher Lin."

"If you have nothing else to do, you can go to Xiangyang Industrial Park to take a look around. Our Sci-TechElectronics and Cisco Electronics are both there. If you have nothing else to do, you can go there to scout out the area. I'll prepare an office for you then."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."

Lin Yi then told Wang Ran about the other things he needed to pay attention to. He even gave Wang Ran Lu Ying's phone number.

He reminded her a few times about his identity, and only after Wang Ran remembered everything did he relax.

"Also, Cao Xiangyu is an old hooligan. If he touches you, kick him in the crotch."

...

Wang Ran's face turned red. "Is-is that really a good idea…"

"What's wrong with that? Just give it one shot."

"Got it, Teacher Lin."

Lin Yi nodded and wiped his mouth after finishing the bowl of noodles. "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You can figure out the rest on your own."

"Yes, yes." Wang Ran bowed deeply to Lin Yi. "Teacher Lin, thank you for being so nice to me. I don't even know how to repay you."

"I'm giving you a salary for your help. Why's there a need to repay me?"

"But it's 500,000 yuan. Not a single person was willing to lend me that much money."

"Am I not a person?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Wang Ran waved her hand. "Teacher Lin is a good person."

"Alright, just continue to view me as a good person in your heart. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, I'll see you off, Teacher Lin."

"No need. Just get back to your work."

Lin Yi continued driving for Didi after leaving Wang Ran's house.

He picked up four more orders by 4:30 pm. He drove another 60 kilometers before heading to Chaoyang Group to pick up Ji Qingyan from work.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang on the way there. It was He Yuanyuan calling.

"Boss, I checked out Fenglan Culture. It's just as we expected. The legal owner, Cao Jingqiu, is the daughter of Cisco's boss, Cao Jiadong."

"What a coincidence." Lin Yi smiled. "Do they have a strong intention to seek financing?"

"They haven't shown any intention yet, so it's hard to judge. You have to go and try to trick her yourself."

"Fine, I'll go meet her."

"I don't think you can wait any longer. Hehehe, what a scumbag."

"If I'm a scumbag, then why didn't I do anything to you? Shouldn't you reflect on that?"

"I'm the one who didn't give you a chance, okay?"

"Hehehe, whatever you say."

He Yuanyuan, "…"

What's with that sneer?!

Lin Yi drove to the parking lot after hanging up the phone, but he didn't immediately go up. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢

This Cao Jingqiu seemed to be quite interesting.

At first, he theorized with Ji Qingyan that Cao Jingqiu might be poised to take over a higher level of Cisco's business. Otherwise, Cao Xiangyu wouldn't be in such a hurry to prove himself.

However, at this juncture, Cao Jingqiu actually started her own company, and even started raising funds. This was very interesting.

She didn't seem to be interested in Cisco's business, or else she wouldn't have done this.

It looked like he really had to meet this Cao Jingqiu.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang. It was from Ji Qingyan.

"Are you at the company?"

"I just arrived at the parking lot."

"Then don't come up. Tiantian and I are going down to look for you."

"She hasn't left yet?"

Lin Yi thought that Lu Tian would leave after visiting Ji Qingyan. He didn't expect her to stay the whole day.

"We have an important mission tonight. I decided to give you a chance to come with us, considering your performance today."

"Should I feel honored then?" Lin Yi asked.

"Of course." Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

"Wait for me downstairs. I'll be down soon."

"Okay."

In a few minutes, Ji Qingyan and Lu Tian walked out of the elevator arm in arm.

However, both of them were carrying bags in their hands, which looked like gift boxes.

"You did well today. You moved the most beautiful girl of Yan University to tears," Lu Tian teased.

"What nonsense are you talking about? No he didn't," Ji Qingyan said.

"It's just some roses. They're not enough to move me."

"Stop pretending. You've been smiling all day, yet you pretend you weren't moved. If I were you, I would definitely reward him well tonight."

"Then I'll be forced to make him a meal when I have the time."

"What kind of reward is that? It's a waste of his effort."

The reward Lu Tian was referring to was naturally different from what Ji Qingyan was referring to, but she didn't understand what she meant.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go first."

Ji Qingyan handed her car keys to Lin Yi. "Your car can only fit two people. I Drove my car today. I'll have to trouble you to be the driver."

"It'll be my pleasure."

The three of them sat in Ji Qingyan's Maserati. Lin Yi asked,

"Where are we going?"

"To the Golden Yuehua Palace. My teacher's house is there. We have an appointment to visit him today."

Lin Yi nodded. He understood why she and Lu Tian were carrying a gift box. They were going to visit their teacher.

"Didn't you graduate from Yan University? Your teacher should be in Yanjing, right?"

"Most of the teachers are from Yanjing, but my tutor's family is in Zhonghai. She came back to live here after she retired. I visit her every year."

"I see."

"By the way, did Yuanyuan say when she was coming over?" Lu Tian asked in the car.

"She's a little busy at the company, so she might be a little late. She told us not to wait for her, and that she'd go over after she's done with her work," Ji Qingyan said.

"He Yuanyuan's coming too?" Lin Yi was surprised.

"She's my junior sister and Teacher Zhang's student. Of course she's coming."

Ji Qingyan didn't use her relationship with Lin Yi to try to get He Yuanyuan off work early.

Work had to come first. This was a principle and a rule.

No matter the occasion, rules couldn't be broken.

Lin Yi nodded and understood the situation. Then, he drove towards the Golden Yuehua Palace.

In Zhonghai, the Golden Yuehua Palace was considered a high-end residential housing area.

The average working class couldn't afford to buy a house here.

However, a professor from Yan University was different.

He explained the purpose of their visit to the security guards when he arrived at Golden Yuehua Palace, and they soon let him through.

Following Ji Qingyan's instructions, Lin Yi drove the car to her professor's house.

At the entrance of the unit, Lin Yi saw three luxury cars worth millions parked there.

The cheapest one was a Mercedes-Benz G63 worth more than two million yuan, while the most expensive one was a Bentley, the same model as his own.

"These people are so fast. They actually got here ahead of us," said Lu Tian.

Chapter 328

"They are all from out of town, just like you. They came back just for this occasion, so they obviously must arrive early."

"That makes sense." Lu Tian said. "Let's go up first, I'm a little hungry."

"Okay."

Lin Yi parked the car and the three of them walked toward the front door.

They were a little surprised to see three luxury cars, but after thinking about it, they realized this was normal.

Their professor was a lecturer at Yan University, so the students they trained would naturally not be bad.

Ji Qingyan might be the one with the most successful career, but a large part of it was because of her family.

If she started her own business from scratch, she might not be as successful as the other students.

These were the so-called famous university students.

The three of them went upstairs together. After they got off the elevator, they found that the door to the unit was already open.

The sound of talking and laughing was coming from inside, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"Yo, Qingyan and Tiantian are here. We were waiting for you."

As soon as they entered the door, they saw an old lady with white hair. She stood up and walked toward the door, welcoming the three of them in.

...

There were five people in the room.

Apart from Ji Qingyan's mentor and her husband, there were two men and a woman present.

One of them was wearing glasses, a blue shirt and dark pants, and was dressed very formally.

The other one was wearing casual clothes, and wasn't dressed very well.

The other girl, on the other hand, wasn't as elegant as Ji Qingyan and Lu Tian. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

She wasn't even worthy of Lin Yi's attention.

"Lin Yi, let me introduce you. This is my mentor, Zhang Minhua. This is her husband, who is also a professor at Yan University, Mr. Peng Xingguo."

Lin Yi nodded with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Teacher Zhang. Nice to meet you, Teacher Peng."

"When I was chatting with Tiantian earlier, she told me that you had a handsome boyfriend. Now that I look at it, this guy is really not bad. He's much better than those brats at Yan University."

Ji Qingyan blushed and smiled shyly.

It filled her with joy that Lin Yi was being recognized by her elders.

"Come, come, come. Don't stand there. The food is ready. Let's eat first," Peng Xingguo greeted politely.

Ji Qingyan and the other two sat at the table. The dishes were all home-cooked and there was nothing special about them.

They were simple dishes, however, they gave off the feeling of homeliness.

Lin Yi learned the names of the other three during the meal.

The man in formal attire was called Liu Yida.

The man in casual attire was called Wang Zhihui.

The other girl was called Zheng Wenjie.

However, only Wang Zhihui and Zheng Wenjie were from the same class as Ji Qingyan and Lu Tian, as Liu Yida was their senior.

During the meal, Ji Qingyan raised her glass.

"Teacher Zhang, thank you for your nurturing of us during our university days. Without you, we would not be where we are today. I would like to propose a toast to you with tea instead of wine."

"In my eyes, you are just like my own children. Coming here is just like you returning home. Why are you still saying this?" Zhang Shumin said with a smile.

"Now that I see that you guys are successful in your careers, I'm also filled with joy."

"That makes sense," Peng Xingguo said with a smile.

"But this wine doesn't seem to have any flavor. It's better for us to have some at a wedding banquet."

"That's right. Hurry up and set a date. We're all waiting to have a wedding banquet," Lu Tian heckled.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's not moving as fast as you guys say," Ji Qingyan said shyly.

"When I was in school, I knew that Qingyan was a thin-skinned girl. I didn't think that after working for so many years, she would still be like this," Peng Xingguo said.

"I guess she won't be able to change for the rest of her life," Lu Tian said.

"I don't think that marriage can be rushed," Liu Yida said.

"We should all examine our prospects thoroughly before making a decision. Although I'm a man, I have to admit that there are many men who are not reliable. We can't do something that we regret for the rest of our lives just because of a moment of impulse."

"Senior, don't be so sarcastic. Lin Yi is a good person," Lu Tian said.

"I'm just talking. Please don't take it seriously. At our level, the main thing is to consider what's inside. The rest isn't important." Liu Yida said.

Lu Tian rolled her eyes at Liu Yida and whispered,

"He only knows how to play the accordion. Only a drunk would pretend to spout deep thoughts every day."

"Tiantian, what did you just say? Are you talking about the accordion? It's my forte, do you want me to play for you guys?" Liu Yida asked.

Lu Tian was about to refuse when Zhang Shumin said,

"You can play for me too. I haven't heard you play the accordion in a long time. The instrument is in the study, go take it out."

"Since Teacher Zhang wants to hear it, then I'll make a fool of myself for everyone."

Then, Liu Yida stood up and walked toward the study.

Lin Yi looked at his disappearing back and said,

"This guy is so pretentious, and he doesn't look fresh or refined at all. There is hardly any attention to detail about him."

"If you want to know, he would be your rival in love. When we were in school, he was very attentive toward Ji Qingyan, but Qingyan never had any feelings for him. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't bear to leave Teacher Zhang, Qingyan would have changed classes a long time ago," Lu Tian said in a low voice.

"Who gave him the courage to pursue my little baby Qingyan? Was it Liang Jingru?"

"Eh, this is so disgusting. Little Baby Qingyan, can you two please be normal? I want to keep my appetite to eat a few more ribs."

"Watch your language, we're at my teacher's house."

Ji Qingyan pinched Lin Yi's waist. "It wouldn't be good if Zhang and Peng heard us."

"Alright, I'll call you that when I get home."

Ji Qingyan didn't say anything, because she thought that the nickname 'Little Baby Qingyan' sounded pretty good.

At that thought, Ji Qingyan's face turned even redder.

She was a little embarrassed.

Just as the three of them were whispering, Liu Yida brought out the accordion.

"Yida, play 'Lake Baikal 'for me. I can't play this song well, so I can learn from you," Peng Xingguo said humbly.

Peng Xingguo and Zhang Shumin were both accordion lovers, but their skill levels weren't high. They usually played by themselves at home.

Now that Liu Yida was here, they naturally had to listen to him play a tune.

"Teacher Peng, you're too modest. How would I dare to show off in front of you?"

"You think I don't know how good you are? Don't be so polite. Hurry up and play a tune for me. It'll be good for everyone's entertainment."

"Then I won't hold back. Let me show you guys something." Liu Yida said.

Liu Yida picked up the accordion and started playing Lake Baikal at Peng Xingguo's request. He looked pleased with himself, and appeared extremely pretentious.

What Lin Yi didn't expect, however, was that something even more pretentious was still to come.

Liu Yida started to sing by himself.

The pronunciation was a bit f*cked up, but it was still pretty good.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Liu Yida finished the song, and Peng Xingguo and Zhang Shumin took the lead to applaud.

"Not only did your level not drop, it seems like you've improved a lot. Your Teacher Zhang and I practice at home every now and then, but your level has not diminished at all. As you get older, we won't be able to learn as fast as you guys."

Huh?

Lin Yi paused.

What the hell was that?

How could you say 'okay' when you're acting like this?

Chapter 329

"Try this rib. It's pretty good. It's on par with my cooking," Lin Yi said.

"Don't flatter yourself. Teacher Zhang's cooking is way better than yours."

"Then I won't make it for you anymore."

"No," Ji Qingyan got worried. "You have to keep making it for me."

"Oh my, you two make me so jealous. I have to stay away from you." Lu Tian shifted her chair and looked at the two of them sourly.

"Are you jealous?" Lin Yi laughed. "But you won't ever escape this feeling because there's no other man more handsome than me in the world."

"Hehehe. Men with a sense of humor always were Qingyan's favorite."

"Cough cough cough…"

Zheng Wenjie coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Senior just finished playing. You guys should at least give him some face."

"It's pretty good. There's some progress," Lu Tian casually replied, perfectly showing how to behave properly whilst still not paying attention.

"You little girl, I'm guessing you didn't even listen to it properly." Zhang Shumin smiled and said, "Little Yi, what do you think of the song?"

"Good, good, very good, very good. I've never heard such a good song before. Very good, very good."

Lin Yi didn't want to ruin the atmosphere. He was pretending to be cool whilst eating his own food. After all, none of this mattered to him.

...

"I really didn't expect Mr. Lin to know about the accordion. That really exceeds my expectations." Liu Yida said with a smile.

"I know a little bit about it."

Ji Qingyan couldn't help but snicker. Lin Yi was really good at lying. He actually claimed to know a little about the accordion.

"I didn't expect to meet a master today. Although you think I played well, I think there are still many flaws in the 'Lake Baikal' piece that I played just now. Would you like to give me some guidance, Mr. Lin?"

"That wouldn't be good. This is such a harmonious dinner, we should just let the matter rest."

"That's not good. We academics have always been strict with ourselves and strive for excellence. If there are any flaws, we naturally have to give each other pointers."

Ji Qingyan bit her lips lightly, a hint of unhappiness showing on her face.

He was obviously making things difficult for Lin Yi.

"Little Yi, since you know about the accordion, do share it with us." Zhang Shumin said. "We are all on the same side here, so we can speak freely."

"That's right, give me some pointers too so that I can improve."

"Actually, there's no need for me to teach you anything on the song," Lin Yi said as he chewed on the ribs.

"Don't tell me you think it's perfect and you can't tell me what's wrong?"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I mean, there are too many mistakes in your rendition 'Lake Baikal'. We won't be able to get through the entire list even if we work at it until tomorrow morning, so there's no need for me to teach you."

As soon as he said that, everyone at the table turned their attention to Lin Yi.

No one expected Lin Yi to say something like that.

"There are a lot of mistakes in my rendition of 'Lake Baikal'?" Liu Yida's face didn't look too good.

When he played it earlier, he thought that it was already perfect, and he even exceeded his usual standards. There couldn't have been any mistakes.

However, this man said that his performance was full of flaws. It was simply ridiculous!

"Mr. Lin, although Ji Qingyan is by your side and you want to stand up tall beside her, if you speak without thinking, won't you ruin the mood?"

"Look, just now you said to yourself that there were many mistakes in your performance of the song. Now that I've said it too, you won't admit to it and even say that I'm ruining the mood? What kind of logic is that?"

"This…"

Liu Yida choked on his words, his expression awkward.

"Yida, the fault is yours," Zhang Shumin said. "Let's hear what Little Yi has to say first."

Zhang Shumin looked at Lin Yi, a smile returning to her face. "Actually, I think Yoda's performance of 'Baikal Lake' is pretty good, as I didn't notice any mistakes." 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Then I'll say a few obvious ones." Lin Yi said.

"In the second eight count of the song, the intensity was obviously not strong enough, causing the pitch to be low."

"However, in the middle of the third quarter of the beat, the intensity was obviously too strong, causing the rotation to be insufficient, losing more than half the essence of the song in the process."

"Also, there are also many problems with the remaining diatonic scale and bass handling, but I won't go into the details."

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, her eyes blinking.

What kind of freak was Lin Yi to be able to speak so clearly?

Did he really know how to play the accordion? That wasn't possible.

Zhang Shumin and Peng Xingguo looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

They didn't understand what Lin Yi was talking about.

They didn't notice these mistakes.

They only liked the accordion because it was fun. It was normal that they didn't understand what Lin Yi was talking about.

At this moment, not only the old couple, but even Liu Yida was confused.

He had been playing for a long time and didn't notice the mistakes.

"Haha…"

Liu Yida smiled. "I've played the accordion in front of many teachers and experts, but they said that I played well and didn't point out so many problems."

"See, aren't we repeating ourselves now?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Lu Tian and I just said that you played a very good piece, yet you wanted me to correct it. Now that I've corrected it, you're unhappy again. What kind of person does that?"

"You're just giving perfunctory feedback."

"Are you sure that the other professionals weren't just giving perfunctory feedback?"

"You!"

Liu Yida was burning with anger since he was the boss of a start-up company, Doctor Yan Da, but was currently being mocked by a gigolo!

This was outrageous!

However, he could not flare up in his teacher's house.

"If that's the case, play us a song too. Let me see the gap between us, and show me that I still have room for improvement."

"I've never played this before, so I'm a little unfamiliar with it."

"You spoke at length earlier, yet it turns out that you were just spouting nonsense. You've never even played the accordion before, yet you still dare to say such words. You're really good with words."

"I only said that I'm unfamiliar with it, I didn't say that I don't know how to play it."

"Little Yi, you're really not a simple person. Not only did you manage to woo that Lass, Qingyan, but you even know how to play the accordion. Let us hear it too." Zhang Shumin said with a kind expression.

"Since Teacher Zhang wants to hear it, I'll give it a try."

Ji Qingyan was a little nervous.

"Lin Yi, are you sure you know how to play the accordion? This isn't a joke."

Ji Qingyan believed that Lin Yi knew how to play the accordion since he dared to try.

However, the main point was that he had to be better than Liu Yida, or else he would be laughed at to death.

She could get embarrassed, but she didn't want Lin Yi to suffer the same.

"It's just an accordion. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Mr. Lin is so confident, so his level shouldn't be bad. Even so, a famous song like 'Lake Baikal' is no fun to just play. You should also sing a bit to really make sure you enjoy yourself." Liu Yida added.

Chapter 330

"Sing while playing?" Lu Tian asked.

"You went to Russia to study before, and your Russian is better than most people's. As for us, our second language is English, so we can't even speak Russian in the first place. There's no way we can sing it well."

"Look at this mess. There are very few people like me who are proficient in three languages. This request is a little difficult, so you don't need to sing." Liu Yida said with a smile.

Ji Qingyan didn't like hearing this.

Although Lin Yi didn't know Russian, he knew French!

Much better than you!

Lin Yi was helpless. Couldn't he just focus on his food?

As expected, his love for the stage filled his whole heart.

After setting up the accordion, Lin Yi started playing.

The beautiful melody reached everyone's ears.

Zhang Shumin and Peng Xingguo's eyes lit up. Although it was the same song, Lin Yi's playing seemed to carry an extra sense of serenity.

It was as if they were seeing Lake Baikal right in front of their eyes.

The only regret was that if Lin Yi could sing a song, it would be even more perfect.

...

However, there was no need to force this matter.

Russian wasn't popular in the country. Apart from a few schools, no one else even offered a Russian language degree.

They couldn't find fault in this either. They just had to listen to the tune.

"In the desolate plains of Baikal, lies a gold mine in the middle of the mountains…"

"The tramp is cursing his fate, stumbling forward with an empty sack…"

Just as everyone was enjoying Lin Yi playing the accordion, they were surprised to hear him humming the famous Russian song "On the plains of Baikal"!

And most importantly, he was singing it in authentic Russian!

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Ji Qingyan.

After knowing Lin Yi for so long, she wasn't even aware that he knew Russian!

The beautiful accordion music, coupled with Lin Yi's deep voice, made the scene before everyone's eyes even more jaw-dropping.

A few minutes later, he finished playing the song. Zhang Shumin and Peng Xingguo reminisced for a while.

Clap clap clap!

Applause rang out, and both of them looked excited.

"His playing is really too good. I think he can even be compared to a professional teacher. It's really not bad at all."

"Teacher Zhang, you're flattering me. I don't usually come into contact with this stuff. It's just for fun. I have too many interests, so I've learned a lot."

Lu Tian nodded and criticized in her heart, "This 13-piece is full of details. From the looks of it, Liu Yida's level was too low."

"I think we should stop here for today's performances," Peng Xingguo said, "Let's eat first."

"Right, let's continue eating. Stay at the teacher's house for a little longer today. No one is in a hurry to leave," Zhang Shumin said.

"Now that you're all starting your own businesses, did you encounter any difficulties? If you did, tell Teacher as I still have some connections in the financial field and can extend you some help."

At this moment, one could see the awesomeness of these famous school directors.

When they spoke, they were very tough, and they carried much confidence and strength.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. Our company has now entered the stage of steady development, especially Brother Liu's. The company's valuation has already reached 800 million. With talk of a further 70 million in financing coming in, it's just a matter of time before we enter the 1 billion mark."

"That's really impressive."

Zhang Shumin praised, "Ji Qingyan's company has already broken through the 3 billion mark. You have to work hard too and see if you can surpass her."

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhang. I still have confidence in this." Liu Yida laughed and said.

"And there's something that you might not know. You know the person who talked to me about the investment."

"We know him too? Is he a friend of mine in the financial circle?" Zhang Shumin asked.

"Tell me who he is. I'll tell him to invest an extra eighteen million. It shouldn't be a problem for him."

Lin Yi would definitely think that she was bragging if someone else said something like that, but Zhang Shumin was different.

She was a big shot in the financial circle. It was possible that the bosses of those big companies were all her juniors. Saying that she would be able to increase the investment by an extra eighteen million was probably a conservative estimate.

"Teacher Zhang, you misunderstood. This person is not your friend, but your student. And everyone here knows him."

"Who is that? Which year is he from? Is It Sun Zhaoqiang? I remember that he even taught you guys before, and the lesson went pretty well."

"It's not Brother Sun, it's He Yuanyuan."

"He Yuanyuan the girl?" Zhang Shumin asked in surprise.

"Isn't she working at Meituan's Zhonghai branch? She shouldn't be the CFO in charge of the investment, right?"

"Teacher Zhang, it seems like you haven't paid much attention to Yuanyuan's recent situation," Liu Yida said with a smile.

"She has moved to Lingyun Group. Although she is still in the CFO position, she holds a lot of authority. She is also in charge of the investment. Therefore, I have been in contact with her recently. Due to our relationship, this investment of 70 million yuan should be a done deal."

"That's great. The closer you are, the better the result." 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"We've already reached a preliminary agreement. She'll be discussing it with the other executives in the company, but I don't think it'll be a problem."

Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan looked at each other after hearing their conversation.

Lin Yi wanted to laugh. Why was this another company that he was going to invest in?

"Then I wish you success in your financing." Zhang Shumin raised her glass, intending to toast Liu Yida.

"Thank you, Teacher." Liu Yida raised his glass and looked at Lin Yi. "May I know where Mr. Lin is working?"

"It's just a small company. It's not worth mentioning."

Lin Yi was beginning to suspect that the heavens had arranged this dinner party for him to toy with Liu Yida to death.

Your company still needs me to invest in it, yet you're here showing off?

"Is it a start-up company?" Liu Yida said with a smile.

"Although my company is also in the process of pursuing venture financing, our company itself also has a venture capital department. Do you need me to invest in your company? Qingyan's company is a family business after all, and she's not the only one who makes the decisions. I'll invest in it for you, as that'll go much smoother." Yida said with a smile.

"There's no need to invest. I'm just a small company, and I'm just doing it for fun. I don't want to be big, I just want to have some fun."

Lu Tian couldn't help but snicker.

She didn't know how big Lin Yi's company was, but he'd already bought a Lykan worth over 60 million. A company like that wouldn't just be for fun.

At the very least, no one here could afford such a car.

Ji Qingyan sat quietly by the side.

A high-profile person like Liu Yida was someone Lin Yi could deal with.

She was a woman, so she didn't say much.

She would only make it seem like she was showing off.

Chapter 331

"Mr. Lin, if you say that, then I have to say a few words about you."

Liu Yida rested his hands on the table, looking as if he was giving advice.

"If Qingyan said this, I wouldn't say anything. After all, she's a woman. It's fine if she doesn't have much ambition, but you're a man after all. Isn't it ungentlemanly of you to say such unambitious words?"

"I just have a minimalist mindset. How is it ungentlemanly of me to lack ambition?"

"In my opinion, men should aim to conquer the world. Take my company for example. It only took me two years to achieve a valuation of 800 million. In the next ten years, I am also confident that my company will hold a significant position in the domestic internet industry. But you are so unambitious. A minimalist mindset will be eliminated sooner or later," Liu Yida said.

"Now you're also looking to make Qingyan your girlfriend. You're planning to use her as an insurance card, aren't you? You plan to keep her as a bargaining chip when you go bankrupt in the future, right?"

"That's a bit too much," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"My company may not be big, but it's not so small that I can't afford to support myself."

"But your ambition is lacking. Based on my understanding of the Internet industry, this is a step back."

The more Liu Yida spoke, the more pleased he became. He even lit a cigarette midway through the conversation.

"I know that you might be too embarrassed to accept my investment, but we are all businessmen. There's no need to turn down money. Just like me, after learning that Yuanyuan is the CFO of Lingyun Group, didn't I also take the initiative to look for her to seek investment?"

"Brother Liu, I was just about to ask, what is the background of this Lingyun Group? How did it catch your attention? I looked it up on the internet. It seems to be an investment company with a bit of backing. There is nothing outstanding about it."

Zhang Shumin had the same question.

...

"I have heard about this company recently, but I haven't found anything worth paying attention to."

"Teacher Zhang, you don't know what you are talking about. Lingyun Group is just the tip of the iceberg," Liu Yida said in high spirits.

"Although I'm not sure about the details, I can tell you one thing."

"The Lingyun Building that the Lingyun Group is using was not rented by them at a high price. Rather, they bought the entire building."

"Bought the entire building?"

Everyone present, except for Ji Qingyan, was very surprised. They did not expect the Lingyun Group to have such a large-scale operation.

"Indeed, the two buildings are the property of the Lingyun Group. The Lingyun Building used to be called the Twin Towers, and it served as the new landmark of Zhonghai City. I heard that their behind-the-scenes boss spent 18 billion yuan to buy the two buildings. Such courage and boldness is not something that ordinary people possess."

Zhang Shumin nodded.

"To have such boldness and means, the boss behind the Lingyun group is indeed not someone simple," Zhang Shumin praised.

"That's what I thought too. That's why I want to hear Yuanyuan's thoughts on this subject. After the investment goes through, I want to invite their behind-the-scenes boss for a meal so that we can build a closer relationship."

"It would indeed be good if you could set up this appointment," Zhang Shumin said with a smile.

"Now that you have such a good opportunity, you have to work hard. Don't waste it."

"Got it, Teacher Zhang."

"Brother Liu, according to what you said, I have to contact Yuanyuan in the future. When our company needs investment, she can also take care of me."

"That's for sure. We are all Teacher Zhang's students. How can we not help our family?" Liu Yida said with a smile.

"But now, Lingyun Group's capital is growing at a rapid rate, and Yuanyuan is holding an important position. I reckon that there will be countless people who want to see her in the future, so you have to hurry up."

"That's right," Wang Zhihui said.

"She was always the most excited when she came to see Teacher Zhang, but now even as we're almost done eating, she hasn't shown up yet. It shows how busy she is at work."

"Yuanyuan is different now. We have to get on good terms with her in the future. It'll just be a matter of how many investments she wants to make in the future."

"She's just a CFO. Why are you guys making her sound like the boss behind the scenes?" Lin Yi said.

"That's something you don't know. I can tell you something about this." Liu Yida said.

"The boss behind Lingyun Group has a lot of businesses. Lingyun Group is only a portion of it, so he handed all the power in his hands to Yuanyuan. She can handle investments of less than 100 million yuan without even needing to report to her superiors." Liu Yida said.

"Moreover, when it comes to my junior sister, her looks and figure are very outstanding, so I'm afraid her relationship with the boss might be even closer. I don't need to tell you the rest."

"Pfft!"

Lin Yi almost spat out the drink he drank. He wanted to give Liu Yida a kick.

What the f*ck are you saying?

Ji Qingyan held her head with one hand and looked at Lin Yi with a half-smile on her face.

"I really don't like that skinny body of hers. You have to have confidence in yourself," Lin Yi whispered into her ear.

"Tsk, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Ji Qingyan wouldn't take anything that Liu Yida said to heart.

Lin Yi and Yuanyuan were like birds of a feather.

The two of them could become close friends and talk about everything.

However, it was impossible for them to develop that kind of relationship.

The pairing was not right at all.

Dong dong dong…

Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Tian got up and said, "I think Yuanyuan here. I'll go open the door for her."

As expected, the person standing outside the door was indeed Yuanyuan. She was also holding a gift box in her hand, ready to give it to Zhang Shumin.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm really sorry. There were too many things to do in the company, and that's why I'm late," He Yuanyuan apologized.

"What do you mean by late? I'm very happy that you could even come. Next time you come, don't buy anything, or else I won't let you in."

"This is just a little token of my appreciation. I don't mean anything by it. If it weren't for Teacher Zhang's training, I wouldn't have achieved the results I have today. You should at least give me a chance to acknowledge you, right?"

"You darn girl,you are still as eloquent as when you were in school."

Yuanyuan chuckled, changed into her slippers, and entered the house.

"Yuanyuan, come and sit beside me." Liu Yida put out the cigarette butt and said enthusiastically,

"You are a busy person now. It isn't easy to meet you."

"Brother Liu, you are too polite. I'm not as amazing as you say," He Yuanyuan replied very formally. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Alright, stop standing at the door. I'll get you a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Come over and eat first."

Yuanyuan nodded, put down her things, and walked into the house.

She really wanted to sit beside Ji Qingyan, but she was invited to sit with Liu Yida, so she had to give the latter a face.

However, at that moment, He Yuanyuan stopped in her tracks.

She was surprised to see Lin Yi sitting beside her senior.

"Boss, what are you doing here?"

Chapter 332

"I was dragged here by your senior sister for a meal."

He Yuanyuan looked at the two of them meaningfully and said,

"Besides the uncles and aunties at home, Teacher Zhang is also an elder that the Senior Sister respects. To bring you to see Teacher Zhang… Tsk tsk tsk, congratulations on your promotion."

"Don't worry, even if I got a promotion, you won't get a raise."

"Wait Yuanyuan, what did you call him just now?" Liu Yida asked in a panic.

"Boss." Yuanyuan said matter-of-factly, "Didn't he introduce himself?"

"He… he is actually your boss?" Liu Yida's eyes widened. "Could he be the behind-the-scenes boss of the Lingyun Group?"

"That's right, he doesn't look like it, right?" Yuanyuan said.

"Indeed, he doesn't look like it."

Yuanyuan took the rice bowl and filled it with rice. As she ate, she said,

"That's normal. I didn't believe it at first, but I had no choice. He's really rich. He bought the Twin Towers for 18 billion and even bought all the units in Jiuzhou Pavillion in one go. Each one of his cars is worth more than 60 million, which is almost equal to the investment that we discussed."

"He's… he's driving a car worth more than 60 million… …" Liu Yida said with a smile

Liu Yida didn't say anything else. What had he said earlier?

...

He was slandering his company for being small?

And he was offered to invest in his company?

Liu Yida wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it as soon as he thought of that. It was too much of a slap in the face.

"Yuanyuan, I heard that you two are talking about an investment?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yeah, I think Senior's company is pretty good. Brother Qi agreed with my thoughts and we are going to invest 70 million. After all, we know each other well."

"You're right." Lin Yi nodded. "But your Brother Liu said that our company is a little small and has a bad future. He wants to invest some money in us. You guys can have a good chat about this then."

"He wants to flip the script on us?"

Yuanyuan was surprised. "Why'd he do that?"

"Isn't it puzzling?" Lu Tian said with a smile.

"It's indeed puzzling. It's one of the top ten puzzles mankind has ever seen."

However, He Yuanyuan understood what was going on.

It was probably because of his older sister that Senior Liu started showing off in front of the boss again. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.

That was because the boss' skill points were all invested in passive attributes.

It was very rare for him to take the initiative to act tough. Usually, it was others who took the initiative to act tough first, which would trigger his passive skill.

Moreover, this kind of behavior was full of details that others couldn't learn at all.

"President Lin, look at this mess. Why didn't you say so earlier? This isn't good."

"If I had said that, it would have made it seem like I was showing off. I wanted to keep a low profile, but I didn't expect you to expose my identity. I'm really sorry for making you feel awkward. I'll deduct her salary when I go back. This is too disrespectful to my seniors."

He Yuanyuan, "?"

How could she be blamed for this?

Not only did he pretend he had been coerced into this situation, but he also deducted her salary. This was killing two birds with one stone.

"Qingyan, you really made a fortune in silence. You actually found such a rich boyfriend. I'm so envious," Lu Tian said.

"Don't you envy my good looks?"

"No, I don't." Lu Tian said, "It's useless being so handsome. The Gu family can all cook. That's the standard for us when evaluating good men now."

"Then I'll have to disappoint you. I can cook too."

"You can even cook?" Lu Tian was surprised.

Ji Qingyan straightened her back proudly. "Lin Yi can cook, and his food is delicious."

"The boss's cooking is top-notch. It's delicious," He Yuanyuan said.

"It's useless even if you praise me. Since my identity was exposed, your salary will still get deducted."

"F*ck!"

The dinner didn't end until eight in the evening, and everyone left one after another.

Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan, Yuanyuan, and Lu Tian gathered together as if they had something to say.

"Boss, what about Fenglan Culture? Cao Jingqiu contacted me today and asked me if I was interested in investing. I've already answered her directly."

"She didn't find out you and Old Qi's names, did she?"

"Of course not. I'm so meticulous." Yuanyuan said.

"No matter what, she's from Cisco. If we reveal our names, the entire plan might be affected."

"That's good." Lin Yi nodded. "Make an appointment with her. I'll go meet this person. Oh right, just set the location to be at the Peninsula Hotel."

"Why do you want to set the location at the Peninsula Hotel? It's a super-five-star hotel, and it costs a lot, okay?" Yuanyuan retorted.

"The company's budget is tight to begin with, yet you want to go to such a luxurious place to talk about investment. Can't you think about the company first?"

"Then where should I go?"

"Spend 100 Yuan and go to Starbucks. It's economical and affordable."

"Starbucks is too trashy, but if you pay, I can go."

"Ho…"

Yuanyuan took out a brand-new 100 yuan note. "This is the fund for you to negotiate business deals. Take it."

"Thank you, He Yuanyuan."

"Hmm? Why are you being so sweet today? It doesn't seem like your style, Boss."

Ji Qingyan was overjoyed. "Because the peninsula hotel is his business. If we go there to meet, we won't need to spend any money. Therefore, he just earned 100 yuan from you."

He Yuanyuan, "?"

"I'm just a small employee. Why are you trying to trick me?!"

"And when did you buy the Peninsula Hotel? How come I don't know about it? In that case, I can get a room for free in the future, right?"

"Ho ho ho!"

"Why are you laughing so slyly?"

"With your looks, no one will be willing to get a room with you for the rest of your life. Stop daydreaming."

"Where's my knife?!"

"Alright, stop bickering. One of you is the CEO, and the other one is the CFO. Can't you guys be more normal?"

The two stopped bickering under Jee Qingyan's instruction.

The four went their separate ways, and Lu Tian and He Yuanyuan left.

After that, Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan to Jiuzhou Pavillion.

At the same time, Ji QIngyan was still reminiscing about how Lin Yi had called her Little Baby Qingyan.

The name was a little embarrassing, but it sounded nice.

"I'm going for a swim. Are you joining me?"

Lin Yi chuckled. "I'll watch you swim, but it'll be perfect if you can keep your promise of doing squats in your swimsuit."

"Hmph, you wish."

Ji Qingyan changed into a white swimsuit and wrapped herself in a towel as she came down from upstairs.

One didn't even need to look at what was underneath. Her voluptuous thighs alone were enough to make one dream up a scene that measured over 100 gigabytes in size.

Ji Qingyan swam gracefully into the water as Lin Yi sat on the bench, thinking about his next steps.

The system mission was proceeding in an orderly manner, so he didn't need to put too much thought into it.

The next step would be the Cao siblings.

Cao Xiangyu's raw materials should soon enter the game one after another. It would not be a big problem with Wang Ran keeping an eye on them.

Although she was a noob, Cao Xiangyu was a retard. As long as she was a person with a reasonably high IQ, it would not be a problem to deal with him.

Then, they would have to meet that person called Cao Jingqiu.

If she was like Cao Xiangyu, a person with a slow mind, then Lin Yi would be able to play this game as though he was God himself.

However, her series of actions were a little confusing.

She didn't take over Cisco's business, but instead went to start her own business. This wasn't something a person who lacked intelligence would do.

Lin Yi dived in and swam a few laps before coming out with Ji Qingyan to enjoy the cool sea breeze,

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ji Qingyan pulled on her towel. Lin Yi's aggressive gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Come be my CEO."

"Ah? You want me to join the Lingyun Group?"

"Yes, my thoughts exactly." Lin Yi nodded.

"At the end of the year, I plan to integrate all the existing resources. If you come, I'll be rest assured that it will go smoothly."

"No." Ji Qingyan shook her head decisively.

"First of all, Chaoyang's results haven't reached my expectations yet, and my sudden arrival at Lingyun might not be a good thing. It'll be hard to convince the public of a good reason, and that's a big taboo."

Ji Qingyan changed her position and looked at Lin Yi.

"Brother Qi is pretty good. He's more stable than Yuanyuan. You can focus on training him."

"There's nothing wrong with Old Qi. He's an excellent horse, but he's too risk-averse and lacks motivation." Lin Yi voiced his thoughts,

"He can make up for his shortcomings by pairing with Yuanyuan, but a company with two think tanks isn't enough."

"I won't ask you to shoulder everything yourself." Lin Yi said. "If you get tired, I can help you work on your ideas. You can do whatever you want in the meantime."

"Are you that good?"

"It's not that I'm good. This is the organizational structure of a company. Lingyun Group is a little special, but its core essence hasn't changed."

Lin Yi was a little embarrassed from being praised. How did he come up with the organizational structure of a company when he was out fooling around every day?

"Are CEOs of other companies always out fooling around too?"

Chapter 333

"What kind of description is that?" Ji Qingyan complained.

"Be it functional departments or the bosses of listed companies, look at who's holed up in the office every day. They're all the best in the world. The ones who actually manage the day-to-day processes are the second-in-command of the companies. With your current status, it would be a bit abnormal if you stayed in the office every day."

"You're right. The club's growth is also supported by these people."

"The meaning changes when you phrase it that way."

Lin Yi smiled and didn't say anything else.

The two laid on the chairs and looked out at the night sky before going back to rest.

The next morning, JI Qingyan woke up and made breakfast again.

Apart from the traditional three dishes, there was also a fruit salad.

After sending Ji Qingyan to the office, Lin Yi prepared to start working.

"Little Yi."

Before he left, he heard someone calling his name and turned around to find that it was Wang Ying.

Wang Ying was wearing a beige dress and a pair of LV sandals. She looked taller than before.

"You're dressed so beautifully. You're not dating anyone, are you?"

...

"Don't tell me you like your sister dating other men?" Wang Ying said.

"I don't have a problem with that, but it depends on whether you dare to or not." Lin Yi said

"I wouldn't dare if you say that."Wang Ying said with a smile. "But today, I really have to meet a man."

"Who?"

"Do you remember the Qingfeng Project?"

"Qingfeng Project?" Lin Yi muttered, "Yes, I think I owe the company more than 10 million yuan. That old witch Yu Lili made things difficult for the two of us. She asked us to go over and check the accounts. In the end, she didn't get the money back and even got kicked out."

Lin Yi was only a small employee of the Chaoyang Group at that time. Even if he and Wang Ying worked together, they wouldn't be able to handle something like that.

However, things are different now. He didn't care about the small-time Qingfeng Project anymore.

"Yeah, that Qingfeng Project. We haven't received the money yet. The vice president told me about it during the meeting. He said that the company wants to get the money back, and needs me to think of a way to solve this problem."

"No way. It's been so long, and you still haven't received the money?" Lin Yi said.

"The real estate industry pays a lot of attention to reputation. With this kind of behavior, they're probably going to go bankrupt soon. We really need to get the money back quickly."

"You're wrong about that." Wang Ying said.

"Qingfeng Project Owes a lot of money to other companies besides our group, but their reputation hasn't been affected. They're still alive and kicking, and their hands are soft from receiving the project."

"So they found someone to clear their name?"

"I heard that they found a very good PR company to clear their name. If one doesn't dig deeper into it, their reputation on the surface looks even better than Chaoyang Group's."

"That's interesting," Lin Yi said. "I have nothing to do, so I'll go with you."

"That's what I was hoping to hear." Wang Ying smiled. "CEO Ji uses you up at night, so I'll need you during the day."

"That sounds a little weird."

"As long as you can understand what I mean." Wang Ying said with a smile. "Drive my car. The materials are all in my car." 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

"That's fine too."

The two got into Wang Ying's car, but Lin Yi didn't drive. He wanted her to practice more.

"Are you sure you want me to drive?"

"Practice makes perfect. I drive every day. It'll be good for you to practice more."

"That's a pity." Wang Ying said, "I wanted to serve you when you drove, but I won't get the chance."

"If that's the case, I can drive."

"Alright, set aside your bad intentions. There are so many people on the road. Don't you think it's embarrassing?"

"If you're not afraid, then what am I afraid of?"

"How can it be the same? I'm a divorced woman. I'm not afraid of gossip, but the same cannot be said for you. Reputation is very important to men."

"It's distressing for a young married woman to think in this way."

"It's good that you know that, since otherwise, I wouldn't be able to compete with Sister Ji at all."

As she spoke, Wang Ying started the car and drove towards Qingfeng Engineering Company.

On the way, Lin Yi called Yao Donglai.

This kind of matter couldn't be handled with reason, and people like them had to be called in to help settle the issue.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi reached the Qingfeng Project.

They were much smaller than the Chaoyang Group because their projects were mostly based on connections.

Therefore, they didn't care too much about the overall design and image of the company.

After waiting for a few minutes, Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang drove two Wuling Hongguang cars and stopped at the door.

"Mr. Lin, what can I do for you?" Yao Donglai asked with a smile.

Right now, he and Liu Qiang couldn't wait to work for people like Lin Yi and Qin Han. They would definitely benefit in the future by doing so.

"We're going in to collect a debt. You guys wait here and listen to my orders."

"Got it, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yi and Wang Ying walked in after giving a few instructions.

The receptionist looked at the two of them carefully.

They looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

"May I know who you are looking for? Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist in black high heels asked.

"I'm Wang Ying, the sales manager of Chaoyang Group. This is my colleague Lin Yi. Four months ago, you were given an invoice of 11.2 million yuan for the project. I want to talk to your DirectorLi about this."

The female receptionist suddenly remembered that these two people had been here before, and that they had been here to collect the debt.

However, at that time, Director Li didn't pay them any attention at all, and ordered his men to kick them out.

"I'm really sorry. Our Director Li is currently receiving guests, and he doesn't have time to receive you. You guys can go back and wait for an update."

"I've talked to him many times over the phone, but your Director Li has been stonewalling me. Now that I'm here, do you still want to try to hide ? Do you really think our Chaoyang Group is filled with vegetarians?"

"Manager Wang, please calm down. Our Director Li is meeting an important guest right now, and he really doesn't have time for you guys. Please forgive him."

"I don't want to…"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Lin Yi said. "It's a waste of time to talk. Just walk up to him."

"Sir, if you try to break into our Director Li's office, I'll have to call someone."

Lin Yi looked up at the receptionist. "Go ahead then. Call them."

"Bro Bing, someone's here to cause trouble. Come handle it."

A shirtless man walked out from the other room under the receptionist's greeting.

"F*ck, who the f*ck is tired of living and dares to cause trouble at our Qingfeng Project!"

"It's me!"

Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang walked in. "Do you have a problem with that?"

…

Two people were sitting on the sofa in the office on the third floor.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He wore a white shirt and tie. He looked like a typical middle-aged boss.

However, the woman sitting next to him was unexpectedly beautiful.

She wore a black skirt wrapped around her buttocks, a Chanel chiffon gown, and a pair of black high heels. Her face still had the clear and fierce look of a female elite in the workplace.

The man's name was Li Qingfeng. He was the CEO of Qingfeng Project.

The woman's name was Cao Jingqiu. She was the boss of Fenglan Culture and also the founder of Cisco, Cao Jiadong, second daughter.

"Director Cao, this is the final payment of 600,000 yuan. Please keep it up."

Cao Jingqiu did not hesitate and casually put the check into her checkbook folder.

"I hope that Director Li can be as proactive as today in the future. It'll save me the trouble of coming here personally. After all, the weather is quite hot."

Chapter 334

"Of course, of course." Li Qingfeng smiled and said,

"The main thing is that the project has just been completed a few days ago. The company has spent a lot of money, so the payment has been delayed for a few days. Director Cao, please don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry. I'm a businessman. I only care about money." Cao Jingqiu combed her hair. "As long as we have the money, all is well."

"You're absolutely right, Director Cao. From now on, we'll be relying on you for our PR." Li Jingqiu said.

"No problem. I'll do what I can. As long as the money is in place, I'll do my best to help."

"Sure, sure, sure."

Click!

The office door was pushed open, and Lin Yi and Wang Ying walked in.

Li Qingfeng and Cao Jingqiu looked over in surprise. They hadn't expected someone to come in at this time.

Cao Jingqiu's gaze fell on Wang Ying first, and she commented on her in her heart.

This woman's looks and figure weren't bad, but she seemed to be a bit inferior to her.

The handsome guy beside him wasn't bad either. It had been a long time since she'd seen such a handsome young man.

Li Qingfeng sized up the person who came in.

...

He didn't have much of an impression of Lin Yi, but he recognized Wang Ying at first glance.

The pretty lady's figure and face were to die for. He'd been drooling over her for a long time.

That was why Li Qingfeng had a deep impression of Wang Ying.

He knew that the purpose of Wang Ying's visit was to ask for money, and he'd have to think of a way to get rid of her. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

At the very least, it wasn't the time to make a move on her yet.

"Director Li, long time no see."

Lin Yi said with a smile when he saw Li Qingfeng.

"I still remember the two of you. You should be from the Chaoyang Group."

"It's great that DirectorLi still remembers us. Isn't it time to pay the 11.2 million you owe us for the project?"

Li Qingfeng waved his hand impatiently. "It's just a little more than 10 million. It's nothing to me, Li Xingfeng, but I'm a little short on money. I'll give it to you in a while. Go back and wait for my update."

"Four months ago, when we came to collect the debt, you said that your finances were tight. It's been so long, yet you're still saying that? Are you pretending to be a f*cking virgin?"

Cao Jingqiu was stunned for a moment. He looked like a kind young man, but his words were quite blunt.

"Kid, what are you saying? How dare you talk to me like that?!"

"Director Li, we don't have any other intentions. We just hope that you'll pay off the final sum of the project as soon as possible. That way, we'll be even. We don't want to resolve such a small matter through the judicial process. We're all in the same industry, and we don't want to ruin each other's careers. I hope you can understand our difficulties."

At the end of the day, he was in the wrong. Under Wang Ying's persuasion, Li Qingfeng's expression became a little better.

"I've already said what I should say. It's a little over 10 million. I'll give it to you in a while. I still have other business to discuss. I hope you won't disturb me here," Li Qingfeng snorted coldly.

"I don't have time to waste with you. I'll give you 10 minutes to gather the 11.2 million. Otherwise, say goodbye to your stupid company."

"Are you threatening me?" Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and said.

"Congratulations, you hit the nail on the head."

Cao Jingqiu shook her head. It seemed that this guy was also a gangster.

However, a small employee was actually speaking so rudely. Who gave him the confidence to do this?

Could it be the woman beside him?

"Kid, are you messing around with me? I, Li Qingfeng, have worked on projects for so many years. Do you think I'm someone you can mess around with?" Li Qingfeng said with a cold face.

"I'm already giving you face by asking you to leave politely. If you piss me off, neither of you will be able to leave today."

Lin Yi sat on the opposite sofa and spread his hands.

"I think you're bragging, and I have enough evidence to back this up."

Cao Jingqiu was smiling as she watched the sudden farce. She was looking forward to seeing how this man would end up.

"Alright, then I'll find someone to come over and have a good chat with you."

Seeing that Li Qingfeng was ready to break all the rules, Wang Ying looked flustered and went forward to explain.

"Director Li, I hope that you can abide by the industry standard and follow the rules and regulations. We are here to do our jobs, and we are not making trouble for no reason. If you use extreme methods to resolve the problem, I must remind you that our Chaoyang Group's public relations department and legal department are not to be trifled with."

"I, Li Qingfeng, have been in the industry for so many years, and I've seen everyone there is to see. Do you think I'm afraid of this? With Director Cao behind us, you guys can insult me all you want. I don't care."

"DirectorCao?"

Lin Yi mumbled, and he suddenly got a bad feeling.

"That's right, this is Director Cao from Fenglan Culture," Li Qingfeng said arrogantly.

"Their reputation in the industry isn't just for show. Even if I break your leg today, it won't affect the Qingfeng Project. If you two know what's good for you, get out of here. Don't delay my business meeting any longer."

"F*ck."

Lin Yi cursed in his heart. He'd just finished having He Yuanyuan investigate this woman, but he didn't expect to meet her today, not to mention on such an occasion.

He Yuanyuan's intelligence skills were indeed impressive.

She really was a pretty girl with a slim waist and long legs.

He really had to have a deep conversation with her in the afternoon.

Cao Jingqiu sat there without saying anything because their eyes met in mid-air, and she saw something different in Lin Yi's eyes.

"Fenglan Culture is not omnipotent. If you don't give me the money, you won't be able to leave the office today."

"Then I'd like to see how you intend to keep me here."

Li Qingfeng cursed and shouted at the door,

"Ah Bing, bring some brothers in. There's an idiot here. Break his legs for me."

The office door was kicked open with a bang.

A burly man was thrown in.

Then, more than a dozen people came in one after another. Li Qingfeng was stunned when he saw them.

The person who was thrown in was his driver and his number one fighter, Ah Bing.

However, at this time, he was already unconscious. He lay on the ground like a corpse, totally unresponsive.

Li Qingfeng and Cao Jingqiu were both stunned.

No one had expected such a thing to happen.

Looking at the people who had entered, Li Qingfeng quickly recognized them.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Dong, what's going on? Why did you guys attack my people for no reason?"

Liu Qiang and Yao Donglai were both famous gangsters in Zhonghai. People like Li Qingfeng who did not have a clean record would naturally have a lot of interactions with them.

However, these people in front of him usually called him brother. Why would they do such a thing out of the blue?

"Don't you know what the f*ck you've done? You've provoked Mr. Lin. We're already being polite by not demolishing your office."

Chapter 335

Li Qingfeng looked at the man sitting on the sofa.

His expression changed from confusion to surprise.

Could this man be related to Liu Qiang and Yao Donglai?

Cao Jingqiu watched the scene quietly.

Her opinion of Lin Yi changed a little.

This man wasn't foolhardy, but he knew the unspoken rules in the construction industry.

Very few of those who were able to make a name for themselves in the construction industry had clean backgrounds.

Therefore, most of the time, conventional methods would not work at all.

Therefore, he sought help from outsiders. This was perhaps the most effective method.

"Isn't this your territory? There should be quite a number of people here. Call them up. I want to see if you can really chop off one of my legs."

"No, no, no, Director Lin. Don't get angry over such a small matter. It's not worth it."

Li Qingfeng took out a cigarette and passed it to Lin Yi. "I'm friends with Qiang and Dong. We're on the same side. Let's talk this out."

"I'm so handsome, so how can I be on the same side as you? Don't flatter yourself."

...

Cao Jingqiu rubbed her temples. This man was really hard to figure out.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm so ugly, I don't deserve to be on the same side as Director Lin," Li Qingfeng said.

"I was wrong to default on the final payment. I'll give you the money now."

"The principal is 11.2 million. I don't care how much interest you had in mind. 15 million. No negotiation."

"You want so much interest…"

Li Qingfeng's legs were shaking. There was not much money in the company's books. If they were forced to give 15 million, they would have no way to start the follow-up projects.

"You don't have to pay the interest. I'm willing to waive it for one of your legs."

"Director Lin, please calm down. I'll prepare the money for you now."

Li Qingfeng took out his checkbook and wrote down 15 million shakily.

His heart felt like it was bleeding when he wrote those words.

Lin Yi handed the check to Wang Ying. "Let's go. Everything's settled."

"Okay."

Wang Ying took the check and let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that she had brought Lin Yi with her today. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to deal with Li Qingfeng with her own abilities, let alone recover the rest of the money.

She watched the group leave.

Cao Jingqiu felt that she had miscalculated.

It wasn't the woman named Wang Ying who was supporting him, it was he who was supporting that woman.

Older women were becoming more and more marketable.

"President Cao, there's something I need your help with," Li Qingfeng said seriously.

"Help with what? Do you still want to deal with these people?"

"That's right. I can't swallow this grievance," Li Qingfeng said with his fists clenched.

"Although Liu Qiang and Yao Donglai are not easy to deal with, there are still people in Zhonghai who can contend with them. I'm going to get some money to find someone to deal with them. In addition, I hope you can place some public pressure on the Chaoyang Group. I want to show them the consequences of offending me, Li Qingfeng."

Cao Jingqiu shrugged. "I don't care. As long as the money is right, I'll accept any kind of business."

"I'll contact you again about the follow-up. Also, don't worry, DirectorCao. The public relations fee will definitely satisfy you."

"Then it's settled. I still have other things to do in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you."

After saying this, Cao Jingqiu grabbed her handbag and walked out of Li Qingfeng's office gracefully.

Cao Jingqiu didn't return to the company after leaving Qingfeng Li's office.

They had to talk about financing in the afternoon at the Peninsula Hotel, so they booked a room there so they could rest and organize their information.

After getting the money, Lin Yi and Wang Ying returned to Chaoyang Group.

"Little Yi, thank you so much for this." Wang Ying said. "If I had been alone, I would have been scared to death."

"Call me if there's anything you can't solve next time," Lin Yi said.

"Keep the extra 3.8 million for yourself. There's no need to hand it over to the company."

"That won't do. This is our big sister's money. I can't keep it for myself."

"It's just a few million. It's not as serious as you say."

"It's a matter of principle. I can't do that," Wang Ying said.

"And I'm already very satisfied with my current life. I can't take money that doesn't belong to me."

"Fine. You decide what you want to do."

"What about you? What are you doing tonight?" Wang Ying said. "Your sister moved to a new house, but you haven't come to visit me even once. How about you come to my place for dinner tonight?"

"Sure, I haven't eaten your food in a long time."

They chatted briefly before Lin Yi drove off. By 1 pm, he had finished seven orders and driven 110 kilometers.

Lin Yi did some calculations. He had driven almost 600 kilometers in the past few days, so his pacing wasn't bad.

After this, he drove to the Peninsula Hotel. Wang Tianlong wasn't there, so the hotel lobby manager and the receptionist greeted Lin Yi.

"Don't worry about me, just do your own thing." Lin Yi waved his hand. "I'll go to the second floor to eat something."

"Got it, President Lin. If you need anything, you can call us."

"Okay."

From this, it was clear that Wang Tianlong didn't rise to become the general manager by chance.

If Wang Tianlong encountered something like this, he would definitely try to clear the restaurant and chase everyone off the second floor.

Although Lin Yi wouldn't let him do so, he still had to put on an act.

And that was the essence of flattery. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He found a corner and sat down. Lin Yi ordered some food and got ready to eat.

It didn't matter if it was an investment or not. He had to fill his stomach first.

"Director Lin?"

Just as Lin Yi was enjoying his meal, he heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head and saw that it was Cao Jingqiu.

"It really is you." Cao Jingqiu smiled. "We just met in the morning and we are meeting again in the afternoon. What a coincidence."

"Why do I feel like there's a hidden meaning behind your words?"

"You helped get back more than ten million yuan. With Mr. Lin's character, I don't believe you would send it all back to the company."

"You make it sound like I'm a scumbag."

"Actually, I think scumbag is a good word." Cao Jingqiu said.

"I'd be happy if someone called me a scumbag."

'What kind of f*cking logic is that?'

Lin Yi could tell from the simple words.

This Cao Jingqiu was also a person with an abnormal brain.

"Only people with looks and money can become scumbags. I think this is the greatest sign of a successful man."

"Thank you for making me feel less guilty about being a scumbag."

Lin Yi looked up. "I ordered a lot of things. Do you want to sit down and eat together?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Director Lin. There's no need for that." Cao Jingqiu said as she combed her hair.

"I'm not going to sit with you since I'm meeting someone else. Besides, I don't think it's appropriate for the two of us to sit down and eat together."

"Why?" Lin Yi said. "Do you look down on scumbags?"

"I hope you don't misunderstand my words, but thank you for your kindness all the same, Director Lin."

"Let's not talk about dinner first. Did you have an appointment to talk to someone about financing?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I'm Lin Yi."

Chapter 336

"W-what did you say? You are President Lin from the Lingyun Group?!"

"Surprising isn't it?"

"It's indeed a little out of my expectations." Cao Jingqiu calmed herself down.

This piece of news had indeed had a huge impact on her.

She did not expect to meet this big shot who wanted to invest in her in such a manner.

"Can you sit down now?"

"Of course."

"Do you still think I'm a scumbag?"

"No, I don't. You're a good person."

"Your attitude changed so fast that I don't even dare to invest in you anymore."

"I can't help it. Who asked you to be rich? Our financing plan is set for 14 million. If you invest more, my attitude might become even more enthusiastic," Cao Jingqiu said with a smile.

Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table twice. "I'll invest 20 million."

"Oh? You invested 6 million more for no reason. Are you trying to hit on Me? President Lin, you're really daring."

...

"36% of the shares."

Cao Jingqiu's expression froze as she started to re-examine Lin Yi. She didn't expect him to bring this up.

"According to the normal equity pricing, 20 million will only get you 32% ." 𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮

"But this is an angel stage investment. If nothing goes wrong, we'll continue investing in Series A and Series B." Lin Yi pried open the leg of a king crab. "Other companies can't give you that much money."

"14 million is already more than most companies can offer. Now, President Lin is adding another 6 million. Is there any other reason behind this?"

Cao Jingqiu's sharp business sense surprised Lin Yi.

It was much better than Cao Xiangyu's.

"If I said I saw your company's potential, you'd think I was bragging," Lin Yi said.

"But if I said I was looking at your boobs and back, you'd think I was a jerk. In this scenario, I will choose not to invest 20 million anymore. So, let's go with your original financing plan of 14 million."

At this time, no matter how he answered, he would fall into Cao Jingqiu's trap.

Therefore, he couldn't answer directly.

Lin Yi's reversal of the situation made Cao Jingqiu unsure of what to do.

"I know the Lingyun Group is rich, but from what I know, every possible investment for a venture capital company should be strictly scrutinized. Why is Director Lin being so casual about this?"

"Lingyun Group is already so rich. Do you think 6 million is a lot of money to us?"

"Of course," Cao Jingqiu said. "If President Lin didn't have such an interest in this investment, why would he meet me here in the middle of his busy schedule?"

"I came here to have a meal and coincidentally invited you here. Is there a problem?"

"But why did you choose this place? Isn't it to make the deal official?"

"Peninsula Hotel is one of my businesses, I don't pay for my meals here."

Cao Jingqiu, "…"

Even though she looked calm, Cao Jingqiu was still shocked. She didn't expect this hotel to be his.

Perhaps this was just a microcosm. Lingyun Group had more tentacles in other industries than she thought.

"Okay, 20 million, 36% of the shares."

"Let's sign the contract."

The two signed the investment contract, and Lin Yi established a preliminary relationship with Cao Jingqiu.

The next step was to prevent her from getting involved in Cisco's business.

However, based on the current situation, it seemed that Cao Jingqiu wasn't interested in Cisco at all.

Otherwise, with Cisco's current size, she wouldn't care about this little bit of money.

"Director Lin, when are you planning to send someone over?" Cao Jingqiu asked.

In the investment field, venture capital companies would usually send someone after confirming their investment, but it was just for show and they didn't have much power.

"I'm not going to send anyone, I believe in your ability."

"We've only met once, yet you believe in my ability?"

"You can even clear the name of an idiot like Li Qingfeng, so what do I have to be afraid of?" Lin Yi said.

"Business is business. As long as you can make a profit, it's fine, but you still have to hand in a post-deployment report."

"That's easy to say. I'm working on it, but the direction of the post-deployment is in the media industry. Do you have any pointers, President Lin?"

"The media industry is good," Lin Yi said. "Sign more beautiful actresses, but none who are too young. It's against the law if you're under eighteen."

"I understand what you are getting at." Cao Jingqiu said with a smile.

"Since you're so generous, I'll do you a favor too."

"What favor?"

"Didn't you scam Li Qingfeng today? That b*stard didn't want to let it go and is looking to get someone to deal with you."

"Did his brain get eaten by a dog?"

"It's possible it was completely devoured."

"Okay, I'll handle this."

Ring, ring, ring…

At that moment, Cao Jingqiu's phone rang, and she picked it up elegantly.

"I'm thinking about it, let's not talk about it for now."

"Don't we have my brother at home? Let him handle it. I'm a woman, I won't get involved."

"We'll see. I'm in the middle of something. We'll talk when we have time." Cao Jingqiu said.

The call was short, and Cao Jingqiu soon hung up. Even so, Lin Yi managed to gather some useful information from this.

The person who called her should be her father, Cao Jiadong.

From his tone, it sounded like he wanted her to go back and take over his job.

She just didn't have any thoughts of doing so.

Poor Cao Xiangyu. He was doing his best, but Cao Jiadong seemed to have already excluded him.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Lin Yi asked casually.

"It's something at home. My head hurts just thinking about this."

"What's wrong? Does your family want you to earn money and buy a house for your brother?"

"With our family's situation, we don't need to worry about a house." Cao Jingqiu took a sip of coffee. "It's just some trivial matter. My dad can't handle it and wants me to help."

"I really didn't see that coming. It's a big family."

"It's just a small business." Cao Jingqiu didn't say too much to Lin Yi. "There's something at home that I need to take care of. Please excuse me."

"Okay."

CaoJingqiu left while Lin Yi ate his food silently.

The last sentence she said before she left revealed a lot of information.

Although she was independent, she didn't seem to be completely separated from the rest of the family. If that was the case, Lin Yi had to be more cautious in the future.

Ring, ring, ring…

At this time, Lin Yi's phone rang. He realized that it was Shen Tianzhuo calling.

"Director Shen, it's already two o'clock in the morning in the United States. Why are you still in the mood to call me?"

"Programmers don't have a regular schedule," Shen Tianzhuo teased.

"Then you must not be a good programmer, because your hair is too luxuriant."

"Haha, it's fun talking to you." Shen Tianzhuo laughed.

"I just finished my work, so I thought to give you a call since I was bored."

"When are you coming back? I'll pick you up." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I can't hide anything from you." Shen Tianzhuo said.

"I've decided. I'll be back in a few days. Get your money ready. It's going to be a big project."

Chapter 337

"That's Great!"

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was finally settled.

"When are you coming back?" 𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"The exact time hasn't been decided yet. I'm going to talk to my team about it."

"No need to go through so much trouble. I'll come back as soon as I can. I have a few people on my side too, and they're all under your control."

"The lithography machine is very complicated. You have to bring all the connections you can use back with you. That way, you'll be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Alright then, I won't be involved in this anymore. Call me before you come back, and I'll come over to welcome you, Director Shen."

"Stop calling me Director Shen, I should be calling you President Lin instead."

"Haha, don't be like that, I can't take it." Lin Yi laughed.

"Alright, we're done here, I won't disturb you anymore. Let's talk when you get back."

"No problem."

After hanging up, Lin Yi stretched his back and felt refreshed.

Shen Tianzhuo was coming back, so he had to find time to find a house for him. He could leave the others to their own devices, but he still had to take care of Director Shen.

...

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to buy a house, though, because Shen Tianzhuo sounded like he wouldn't be back for a while.

He drove for Didi anyway, so he could buy any house he passed by which struck his fancy. He wasn't in a hurry.

Lin Yi went back to driving for Didi after eating.

He didn't drive to Chaoyang Group until 4:30 pm to pick up Ji Qingyan from work.

"Little Yi, you're here early."

Lin Yi had just parked his car when he saw Wang Ying come out of the elevator.

She was in a good mood.

"Didn't you say we were going to your place for dinner tonight? I'm here to pick you up now."

"I don't need you to pick me up." Wang Ying said with a smile:

"I know you're here to pick up President Ji. Remember to come to my house after you drop her off. I'll make you some good food tonight."

"Wait for me at home."

"I'll be going now. Don't forget to come over early."

"Okay."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin as he watched Wang Ying drive away.

It wasn't tiring to be with a woman like her.

Still, he had to keep his head on straight. He knew there were certain lines he could not cross.

This was also why Qin Han said that a young woman was more attractive than a young girl.

Not long after Wang Ying left, Ji Qingyan came down with a big bag of documents in her hands. She seemed to be struggling a little.

Lin Yi got out of the car and took the documents from Ji Qingyan.

"What are these?"

"There's recently been an auction for a piece of land. This project is very important to the group. We have to be more serious." Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with resentment.

"And you won't let me work overtime at the company, so I'll have to take it back."

"Not bad, very obedient. As a reward, I've decided to give you a kiss."

Ji Qingyan smiled as she moved away. "I don't need it. You just want to take advantage of me."

The two of them fooled around for a bit, then Ji Qingyan returned to normal.

It was almost time to get off work. It wouldn't be good if her colleagues saw this.

"Do you want to come over to my place tonight?" After getting into the car, Ji Qingyan asked.

"Actually, I would really like that, but seeing that you have work to do, I feel embarrassed to do so."

"At least you have a conscience." Ji Qingyan smiled and said, "I'm busy tonight and can't accompany you. You can go back to the Jiuzhou Pavillion by yourself. Otherwise, if you stay at my place, I will be easily distracted."

"Looks like we've reached the point where you can't stop yourself." Lin Yi said

"No, it's not that, it's because you're an annoying person…"

The two chatted and laughed on the way back to Yunshui Villa.

Lin Yi then drove to Wang Ying's house.

The timing was perfect.

Dang dang dang…

"Coming…"

Just as he knocked on the door, he heard Wang Ying's voice coming from inside the house.

The door opened, and Wang Ying opened it while holding a spatula in her hand and dressed in a pair of black lace pajamas.

"Why are you always dressed so skimpily every time I come to your house?" Lin Yi asked.

"I'm afraid you won't like it if I wear too much." Wang Ying said.

"I like that reason." Lin Yi said.

"Alright, go wait inside. The food's almost ready." Wang Ying said.

Lin Yi nodded and walked around Wang Ying's new house.

Since it was bought through internal channels, the price was much lower, so it was quite reasonably-sized.

It measured about 80 square meters. In a place like Zhonghai, one had to be quite well-off to be able to live in such a big house.

About half an hour later, Wang Ying brought the food over.

During this time, Lin Yi wanted to help but was stopped by Wang Ying.

"You're a man, you just have to enjoy it. How could I let you work while you're here?"

"In that case, I'm going to enjoy it here."

"Do you need me to massage your legs or perhaps give you a special massage?"

"You even know how to do that?"

"I definitely don't know how to do it to others, but it shouldn't be a problem for me to serve you."

"Then I'll really have to enjoy myself later."

"Sure, I'll let you relax later."

The dishes were served, and Wang Ying brought Lin Yi a few bottles of beer, showing her virtuous nature.

The two talked about a lot of things during the meal, but it was all on trivial topics.

Lin Yi also discovered that every time it came to a sensitive topic, such as the source of his income, Wang Ying would cleverly avoid it without asking any more questions.

This made Lin Yi feel more relaxed and at ease with her.

"Go lie down after you're done eating. I'll massage your legs."

"Then I won't stand in ceremony with you."

"If you stand in the ceremony with me, I'll hit you." Wang Ying said with a smile.

Wang Ying naturally couldn't compare to a professional, but it was still a very comfortable massage.

Lin Yi felt that he wouldn't have to go to Huaqing Lake anymore. He just needed to come here.

Knock, knock, knock…

Just as Lin Yi closed his eyes to rest and enjoy Wang Ying's service, he heard a knock on the door.

"Sit here for a while. I'll go open the door. It might be the neighbor next door."

Lin Yi didn't think too much about it. It was either a public official or a neighbor. It wouldn't be a bad person.

"Lu… Lulu… what are you doing here?"

There was a tall girl standing outside the door. She was about the same height as Wang Ying, and her face was round. She looked cute and naughty, and there was a suitcase next to her, as if she was going to stay here for a long time.

The girl's name was Wang Lu, and she was Wang Ying's sister. She had just finished her college entrance exam.

"Are you surprised or are you surprised?"

Wang Lu smiled. "I told our parents not to tell you. I wanted to give you…"

Wang Lu stopped before she could finish.

She saw a handsome man lying on the sofa.

Lin Yi waved his hand awkwardly. "Are you surprised?"

Chapter 338

"No, I'm not mistaken…"

Wang Lu froze for a moment when she saw Lin Yi on the sofa.

She was planning to sneak over and give her sister an unexpected surprise.

She didn't expect to end up surprising herself first.

"Sis, is this little brother the new brother-in-law you found for me?"

Wang Lu's eyes lit up. The new brother-in-law was so handsome.

Lin Yi had known about Wang Lu for a long time.

Wang Ying had told him about her family when she was working at Chaoyang Group.

She knew that she had a sister who was in her third year of high school.

However, she didn't expect to meet her in such a way.

It was pretty awkward. 𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂

"What new brother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense," Wang Ying lectured. "His name is Lin Yi. He's my colleague."

"Sis, you're trying to trick me." Wang Lu obviously didn't believe her, "If he really was your colleague, would you have brought him here? And your clothes are too revealing, sob sob sob… The two of you are obviously up to no good."

...

Lin Yi rubbed his hands helplessly. Were all third-year students open these days?

"Enough, stop talking nonsense."

Wang Ying knew that there was no way she could explain herself in their current state.

To put it bluntly, her sister didn't believe that they were innocent, so she decided not to try to proclaim her innocence.

"Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry? There's still a lot of food left. Let's eat something first."

"I ate a lot in the car. I'm not hungry anymore, so don't trouble yourself."

After ushering Wang Lu to the sofa, Wang Ying asked,

"Didn't you just finish your exams? Why are you here instead of studying at home?"

"I want to enter the Zhonghai Drama Academy. My score should be good enough, but there are also physical exams. I don't have confidence in this aspect, so I found a professional training institution in Zhonghai and came here to train with my classmates."

"Will you really cut it in this field?" Wang Ying said with disdain.

"Your score is not considered low. It would be better to look for a 211 university than to try to be an actress in a Drama Academy."

"Why not? Sister, don't always insult me." Wang Lu retorted.

"My looks are not bad, and my legs are long enough. Even if you are not my match. It would be a pity if I don't become an actress."

"Do you know how chaotic the entertainment industry is? Be careful of the unspoken rules."

Wang Ying's worry was not without reason.

The current entertainment industry no longer relied on real ability.

If no capitalist was willing to support you, no matter how good your acting skills were, it would be useless.

Furthermore, whether or not someone was willing to support you depended not on acting skills, but on another set of skills.

Only someone like Ji Qingyan, whose looks and figure were heaven-defying, would have any hope of being successful.

Although Wang Lu's qualifications weren't bad, they weren't exactly heaven-defying.

In the entertainment industry, where there were countless beauties, if one didn't have the favor of the heavens, one could very well disappear in the vast sea of people.

However, when a youth was at the innocent and romantic age, it was only natural to have unrealistic dreams.

Lin Yi felt a little sad at the thought of this.

Apart from being handsome and rich, he had nothing else.

"Sis, don't insult me. Let me try." Wang Lu looked at Lin Yi. "Brother-in-law, hurry up and persuade my sister. It's the 21st century now, and she still thinks in such a dated fashion."

"I think it's good that she has her own ideas. Don't interfere too much."

"You're smart. You know how to ask for backup."

"I can't help it. Good-looking people have a gravitational pull to them."

Lin Yi nodded. "You have good taste. If you really gain a foothold in the industry, you should be able to make it in the entertainment industry in the future."

"Sis, look, my brother-in-law had already said this. You're a woman. You can't go against him."

Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Wang Lu.

"Fine, fine, fine. I won't worry about you anymore. You're already so old. There are some things you have to learn to decide for yourself."

Wang Ying also knew that her sister had grown up. There were some things that she couldn't interfere with anymore.

No one could predict the future. Moreover, every step of a person's life was probably pre-destined anyway.

Just like herself. If it wasn't for Lin Yi, she might not have been able to stay in Zhonghai anymore.

"Hehehe, that's right." Wang Lu said as she held Lin Yi's arm.

"Sis, when I went upstairs, I saw a red supercar beside your car. It looked very handsome and cool. Did brother-in-law drive it? Can you let me sit in it? I've never seen such a cool car in my life."

"It's not his. Don't let your imagination run wild." Wang Ying said.

"Although you'll be going to college soon, you still have to study hard. Don't be so vain."

Lin Yi suddenly understood Wang Ying.

The current third-year students let themselves go after taking the college entrance exam. They were like unbridled wild horses, untamable by anyone.

The way Wang Ying was lecturing Wang Lu was also a form of education.

Acting cool was only for adults. Children should not join in the fun.

"You're right. Brother-in-law is your colleague. He shouldn't be able to afford such a good car," Wang Lu said.

"But sister, you're doing very well. You just got promoted and already got a brother-in-law. Not bad, not bad."

"What nonsense are you spouting? We've known each other since I was still a regular office worker," Wang Ying said embarrassedly.

"You don't have to explain. I understand."

Wang Ying was speechless. She didn't know what her sister had understood.

Ring, ring, ring…

Just as the three of them were talking, Wang Lu's phone rang.

Looking at the number, Wang Lu's expression suddenly dropped. She took the phone and went to the bathroom.

Wang Ying glanced at Lin Yi. "Who is she talking to? Why is she being so mysterious?"

"Don't be so surprised." Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "She's already 18 years old. She's about to go to college. Can't you let her live her life?"

"That won't do. What if she's seeing a bad person?" Wang Ying said seriously. "She's been a troublemaker ever since she was a kid."

Ten minutes later, Wang Lu came out of the bathroom.

"Sis, I have something to do. I have to go to my classmate's house. I'll be back later."

"Stop right there!" Wang Ying said. "It's so late. Which classmate are you going to meet? Besides, do you have any classmates from Zhong Hai?"

"Yeah, I do…"

"Your sister has been in Zhonghai for so many years. I have seen all kinds of people. You want to lie to me with this little trick of yours?" Wang Ying said with a straight face.

"You will stay here tonight. You can't go over!"

"Sister, don't be like this. I have an appointment with my classmates. They are waiting for me downstairs," said Wang Lu.

"How can you set an appointment for the middle of the night? You're not allowed to go anywhere. If you want to go out and hang out, you can do it tomorrow."

"But I can't do this kind of thing during the day."

Lin Yi, "?"

Something that could only be done at night?

That was too much information!

"I don't know what kind of things you can't do during the day," Wang Ying said. "It's obviously not a good thing! I'll say it again, just stay here, you can't leave!"

"Sister, several of my classmates have already agreed to our plans tonight. We want to experience going to a nightclub in Zhonghai. If you don't let me go, I'll be so embarrassed."

Chapter 339

"Nightclub?!"

Wang Ying was enraged. "How old are you, yet you're already going to a place like that? Is that a place for decent people?"

"Cough cough cough…"

Lin Yi coughed lightly, and it was only then that Wang Ying realized that her words were a little inappropriate.

She and Lin Yi had been to a nightclub before.

"Look, Brother-In-Law is unhappy with how you're treating me," Wang Lu said proudly.

Lin Yi, "?"

Am I unhappy about this?

Wang Lu went to the sofa and held Lin Yi's arm.

"Brother-In-Law, I've already said that my sister-in-law is your little pet. Why Can't you control my sister? We're just going to take a look around, and we won't do anything bad. What's wrong with that?"

"This…"

"Boohoo… Brother-In-Law ~ ~"

"The main thing is…"

...

"Brother-In-Law…. sob sob sob!"

"Let her go take a look around."

Lin Yi couldn't stand this kind of moaning at all. If he let her moan for a while longer, she'd start rubbing against his arm.

"Why are you speaking up for her?"

Wang Ying didn't dare to disobey Lin Yi's words. She only felt a little resentful, having previously thought that Lin Yi would stand firmly on her side.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. Why did this scene look like a pair of sisters fighting over a lover?

"She's just going to experience the clubbing atmosphere." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Going to a nightclub at eighteen and going to a nightclub at thirty-eight are two different things. If young people blindly stick to the rules, they will never be able to look back and say they had a life worth living."

"Alright then."

"Oh yeah!" Wang Lu cheered and said, "Brother-In-Law, you're great. In this world, only you can subdue my sister."

"Don't be happy so fast." Wang Ying said, "I'm going with you."

"Ah? You want to follow?"

Wang Lu was a little reluctant. If there were adults following, the whole trip would be meaningless.

"Don't worry. I won't go in with you guys to play. I'll stay outside. If anything happens, I can take care of you."

"Really? That's not necessary, is it?"

"What's not necessary?" Wang Ying said. "Either I go with you or you don't go, at all. Pick one."

"Alright then, let's go together."

Wang Ying went to the bedroom to change, but Lin Yi didn't stay idle either. He got up and prepared to go with her.

"Don't go. You've been tired after working all day. Rest at home," Wang Ying said.

"There's no point in me staying at home after you're gone. Let's go together. It's not time to sleep yet anyway." Lin Yi said.

"Okay."

Wang Ying actually wanted Lin Yi to go with her, but she didn't dare to take the initiative to bring it up.

The three of them got dressed and went downstairs.

There was a black Audi A6 and a white Sagitar parked outside the villa. Lin Yi looked at the license plates. They were all from out of town, so they must have specifically driven here.

However, the fact that they had just graduated and were already able to get their driver's licenses then flex here meant that these students weren't simple at all.

At the same time, Wang Lu's classmates were gathered around the Lykan, taking photos and sighing.

However, these people all had one thing in common. Their appearance wasn't bad.

After all, they were people who wanted to apply for the Huaxian entertainment industry. Those who didn't have good looks would have long eliminated themselves.

"My God, this Lykanis too sexy. It's the one from the movies!"

"There are so many rich people in Zhonghai. I can't believe I'm seeing a limited edition sports car here."

"Yeah, and the BMW 7 Series next to it doesn't look cheap either."

"The BMW 7 Series is nothing. My dad drives a Lexus 570, which is much more expensive than this car, but this Lykan is so damn handsome!"

"Alright, alright. Stop leering at the car. Lulu has just arrived."

The students around the car turned around and were about to set off together when they realized that there were two other people beside Wang Lu.

However, each of the students' expressions were different.

To these adolescent boys, a young woman like Wang Ying was more attractive than those young girls.

Otherwise, incestual relationships wouldn't be such a popular genre right now.

Who wouldn't love a big sister who was beautiful and good at taking care of others?

It was the same for girls in their prime. A handsome uncle like Lin Yi was the perfect love in their eyes.

People like Lin Yi, on the other hand, enjoyed the benefits of an open mind.

When he was in school, handsome boys with well-groomed faces would be sought after by all the girls in the school.

When he graduated from university and started working, he grew a little older, and the girls' tastes changed.

The mature and steady uncle had become their favorite type of guy once again.

That was why people like Lin Yi seemed to have become more marketable.

"Lulu, who are these two?"

The girl who spoke was called Du Yuxuan. She had a ponytail and wasn't as tall as Wang Lu. She had two dimples when she smiled, and she looked quite cute.

"This is my brother-in-law, and the one next to him is my sister. They're coming with us."

"I told you not to spread nonsense. He's my colleague. Why won't you listen to me?" Wang Ying said.

It was fine to talk like this at home, but it wasn't okay to do so outside.

Lin Yi lived in a community that was developed by the Chaoyang Group.

Many of his colleagues lived here, so if others heard about it, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"I got it, Sis. You guys are still boyfriend and girlfriend now, but he'll be my brother-in-law in the future," Wang Ying said.

"That's all for the future. You need to straighten things out now."

"Alright, I got it."

"Alright, Lulu, it doesn't matter what kind of relationship you guys have. Since they want to join, let's have fun together."

The guy who spoke was called Liu Haining. He had the Audi keys in his hand, and he was dressed very fashionably. He was the leader of the group.

Seeing that everyone was fine with it, Wang Lu relaxed a lot.

She didn't mind Lin Yi and Wang Ying following them, but she was afraid that the other students would be unhappy.

However, since they were fine with it, she could rest easily.

Wang Ying looked at Lin Yi and asked again,

"If you don't want to go, you don't have to. There's no need to accommodate me."

"Didn't I say that I have nothing to do? It doesn't matter where I hang out. Let's go together."

"Okay."

Wang Ying was relieved to see that Lin Yi had no intention of leaving.

"If you really don't want to go, you don't have to go. There are so many people here and we can take care of your sister. You don't have to worry about her safety." Liu Haining said.

Lin Yi smiled. "Kid, stop pretending to be a socialite."

"I'm not pretending." Liu Haining said. "And I'm 19 years old. I'm not much younger than you."

"Liu Haining, what are you saying? Don't talk back to my future brother-in-law, or I'll get angry," Wang Lu said.

"Yeah, let Brother Lin play with us. It'll be fun with more people," Du Yuxuan said.

"Alright, one more person won't hurt," Liu Haining said indifferently.

Lin Yi was speechless. Why did it feel like this kid was the one letting him into the club?

Chapter 340

"Sister, it just so happens that there are two empty seats in my car. You and Lulu can take my car to go," Liu Haining said.

"When we came, Lulu came in my car."

"I have my own car, so I won't take yours."

Wang Ying pressed the car key in her hand, and the headlights of the BMW 7 series lit up, surprising Liu Haining and the others for a while.

They didn't expect that this white BMW 7 series would actually belong to Wang Lu's sister.

To be able to afford such a car, it was obvious that she was an elite white-collar worker.

This made Wang Ying's charm grow in their hearts once again.

"Oh right, Liu Haining, where are we going to hang out? Didn't you say that you've already found a good place?" Wang Lu asked.

"Hehe…"

Liu Haining laughed. "My brother has been working in Zhonghai all this time. He told me about a good place called Metropolis. It's the most popular nightclub in Zhonghai right now. Let's go there and take a look."

"Metropolis?"

Lin Yi mumbled to himself. "Isn't that the place that Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang opened?"

"You're from Zhonghai Aren't you? Don't tell me you don't know about Metropolis? That's pretty unimpressive."

"You're the unimpressive one. My future brother-in-law is a clean person. He doesn't go to places like that," Wang Lu said.

"Fine, whatever you say. I'll listen to you," Liu Changning said.

He had a good impression of Wang Ying in his heart.

However, Liu Changning knew that it was impossible for him to be with her. Thus, he might as well focus on Wang Lu.

As for her sister, he'd just think about the possibilities quietly in his mind.

Meanwhile, I didn't have any good feelings toward Lin Yi.

At this age where they hadn't fully recovered from their sophomoric illness, youth tended to dream of conquering the world.

The women that he thought were good-looking had to be his.

If he found out that a good-looking woman had been touched by someone else, he would automatically start to dislike the other party.

They couldn't wait to be dragged to the crematorium in the next second.

Lin Yi understood what Liu Changning was thinking, but he felt sorry for him.

Little Brother, your beautiful sister had been taken by your brother. You don't stand a chance!

"Since you've decided, let's go together." Du Yuxuan said. "I can't wait any longer."

"Let's go, we're heading to the Metropolis!"

The young men and women who had just started spreading their wings had an endless yearning for a place like a nightclub. They couldn't wait any longer.

The three cars drove to Metropolis one after another. They saw the brightly lit signboards, as well as the youths from society who walked in and out of the entrance. They were all covered in gold chains and tattoos.

Liu Changning and the others suddenly felt like backing out.

It was their first time coming to a place like this, so they were still a little timid due to their unfamiliarity.

"Alright, you guys go in. We'll wait outside," Wang Ying said.

"This…"

Liu Changning and the other boys were a little hesitant.

Especially when they saw the youths coming in and out looking at them with strange eyes. Now, they felt even more uncomfortable.

If the boys were like this, then the girls would naturally be the same, even more so.

In reality, the young people of today were not like those of days gone by who often acted tough and fought every day.

They were just puzzled. These two adults really didn't have anything better to do. Why did they bring a group of students to such a place?!

"Weren't you eager to try just now? Why are you afraid of going in now?"

"Who is afraid?" Liu Changning said, "I've been here once before. Don't think that I'm some kind of virgin."

"Alright, you guys go and enjoy yourselves then."

Liu Changning mustered up his courage and said, "Let's go. Everyone follows me in. Let me make it clear in advance that there are many people here, so all of you follow me closely."

"Okay," the other boys echoed.

"Sis, I'm still a little scared. Why don't you come with us?" Wang Lu said in a low voice.

The other girls also looked at Lin Yi and Wang Ying.

In their eyes, a little boy like Liu Changning wasn't very reliable. They needed a mature and steady uncle like Lin Yi to give them a sense of security. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wang Ying looked at Lin Yi inquisitively, wanting to see how he felt about this.

"Future Brother-In-Law, come with us." Wang Lu pulled Lin Yi's arm.

"I don't mind, but you're here to experience life. I'm afraid I'll disturb you guys."

"No, no, no." Du Yuxuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Boohoo… Uncle, come with us." The other girls said eagerly.

Looking at the excited Lin Yi, Wang Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she shook her head.

It seemed like the girls in high school were all under Lin Yi's control.

"Alright, I'll bring you in."

"Oh yeah!" Du Yuxuan said, "Quick, quick, quick, I can't wait to see what's inside."

With Lin Yi backing them up, the boys and girls were no longer afraid of the nightclub. They were all extremely excited.

"Don't worry guys, I can bring you guys in," Liu Changning said disdainfully.

He was supposed to be in the limelight today, but now that Lin Yi had stolen it from him, he was naturally unwilling.

Liu Changning walked in front with a mature and steady posture, pretending to be a nightlife veteran.

The girls didn't really care about such a small matter, but it was a matter of pride for Liu Changning and the boys.

"Uncle, keep up, don't be left behind," Du Yuxuan said.

"Okay, got it."

Lin Yi smiled and agreed, then looked at Wang Ying.

"They called you sis, but they refer to me as uncle. How am I a generation older than you?"

Wang Ying laughed as well, then whispered into Lin Yi's ear.

"I heard that all men have perverted thoughts in their hearts. How about I call you daddy to satisfy you?"

"That's not a good idea. If you really did call me that, wouldn't that mean that I'd have a pair of daughters?"

"What? Am I not enough, and now you want my sister as well?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that sick."

"That's right." Wang Ying said. "You might not even be able to handle me on my own."

"After I take down Ji Qingyan, I'll go 300 rounds with you."

"Keep your voice down, Lulu is in front. If she hears you, she'll think something's wrong."

"Eh? Sis, were you talking to me just now? What 300 rounds?" Wang Lu turned back.

"Uh…" Wang Ying didn't know how to answer.

"You misheard," Lin Yi said. "I wanted to ask if you have enough money. I have extra with me here."

"Don't worry, you don't have to use your money," Liu Changhai said. "I brought enough money to enjoy myself here for a month."

As he spoke, Liu Changning took out his phone and asked carefully, "Can you pay with your phone here?"

The bartender looked at Liu Changning and the others with interest. He felt that these high school students were quite interesting.

It was probably their first time here.

"Zhonghai is a pretty advanced city and electronic payment has been popularized. Naturally, you can pay by phone."

Chapter 341

Liu Changning knew that he wasbeing teased by the bartender, but he still pretended to be calm and said,

"We want a private room, a bigger one. Help us get one."

"The deposit for the big private room is 20,000. Just scan the code and pay."

Hearing the number 20,000, Wang Lu and the others were secretly shocked.

They hadn't done anything yet, but they were already being asked for a deposit of 20,000 yuan. Zhonghai was indeed a big city!

20,000 yuan wasn't a small amount, but to Liu Changning, it was still acceptable.

After graduating from high school, he immediately started driving an A6. With such a family background, he naturally wouldn't be short of 20,000 yuan.

After paying the deposit, the group walked to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.

"Let's go to the dance floor after we chill in the room for a while," Du Yuxuan said:

"Look at those little brothers and sisters. They seem to be having a good time."

"Yeah, yeah, I want to go too. It's fun to watch," Wang Lu said.

Wang Ying shook her head. This kid was getting more and more wild.

"You guys go in first." Lin Yi said when they reached the door. "I'm going to the bathroom."

Everyone nodded without saying anything.

Lin Yi went up to the fifth floor after he got out of the bathroom.

This was where Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang worked. He happened to be here today, so he told them about Li Qingfeng.

He kicked open the office door and saw the two of them sitting in the office bragging.

"Boss Lin is here!"

The two of them stood up and welcomed Lin Yi to the sofa.

"Boss, are your friends here with you? Which room? I'll get someone to send something over," Yao Donglai said.

"I came with someone else, but I'm not paying for anything. It's okay to send a few items, but we can't keep taking advantage of you when you're trying to run a business."

That was what Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang admired the most about Lin Yi. He understood a lot of things very well.

He was unlike other bosses, who didn't know how to do anything other than let their underlings take the fall for them.

"Boss Lin, we know you're thinking of us, but sending in some fruit plates and beer won't cost much. We can still afford it."

"We're all on the same side, so there's no need to play these games." Lin Yi waved his hand.

"I came here because I have something to tell you. Didn't I tell you to take care of a guy called Li Qingfeng today? That guy hasn't changed a bit, and he said he wants to send someone over to take revenge on me. Get ready, make sure he learns his lesson, and ensure he doesn't show off in front of me in the future."

"Qiang Bro and I went there personally, and he's still not convinced?" Yao Donglai said playfully. "He's been doing well lately. He doesn't even give us any respect anymore."

"People die for money, and birds die for food. He definitely won't be willing to give up so much money at once," Lin Yi said.

"I'm just here to remind you guys to clean up this mess when you have time. Don't let him show up ever again."

"Got it, Boss Lin. I'll arrange for someone to come over tomorrow."

Lin Yi nodded. "You two take care of it. I'll leave first."

Back in the room, Lin Yi found that Wang Lu and the others were already using this place as a karaoke room.

Each of them was holding a microphone, enjoying themselves.

'What a waste,' Lin Yi thought to himself. 'Although it's similar to a karaoke place, this kind of place is normally reserved for rich young masters. They typically use it to play multiplayer games, but you guys are actually singing in here. This is too naive.'

Ring, ring, ring… 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

Lin Yi's phone rang at this time. He took it out and saw that it was Qin Han calling.

"Old Lin, I heard that you went to Metropolis."

Qin Han said before Lin Yi could say anything.

"I'm here. I just got here." Lin Yi smiled.

"You're too well-informed. You heard the moment I arrived."

"Baldy Qiang told me." Qin Han said.

"Old Lin, I don't mean to be rude, but you didn't even call me when you went to Metropolis."

"There are outsiders with me, so that's why I didn't call you." Lin Yi said. "Don't worry, I still remember I'm supposed to treat you guys to dinner."

"F*ck f*ck f*ck, what are you waiting for? Let's just do it today." Qin Han said. "I'm with Old Liang and Old Gao, we're coming to look for you."

"No way. It's not like you've never been to Metropolis before. Why are you so excited?"

"Then you've misunderstood. We're not rushing over because you're in Metropolis," Qin Han said slyly.

"Then what's the reason? Wang Ran doesn't even work here anymore."

"It's because I trust your judgment," Qin Han said.

"The women who can stay by your side must be pretty good-looking. Haha, wait for me there. We'll head over now."

"What a bunch of old perverts."

Lin Yi didn't say anything when he saw that he couldn't stop Qin Han.

Besides, no one would object if someone like Qin Han came over.

"Uncle, is your friend coming over?" Du Yuxuan asked.

Lin Yi nodded. "He found out I was here, so he wants to come over. I couldn't stop him."

"That's great. It'll be more lively with more people," Du Yuxuan said.

"Why did you invite more people? We won't even be able to fit in the room anymore," Liu Changning said reluctantly.

If it was up to him, he wouldn't even want Lin Yi to stay here.

Now that he invited his peers, Liu Changning was even more reluctant.

"Didn't you invite your cousin over as well? You said it would be crowded, but why can't uncle invite some people over to play as well?" Du Yuxuan said.

"That's right." Wang Lu said, "If you're afraid of spending money, we'll split it with you later."

"Lulu, what are you talking about?" Liu Changning smiled awkwardly.

"Although our family isn't very rich, we can still afford to spend such a small amount of money. Besides, my cousin is richer than me. We don't have to worry about him when he comes."

The reason why Liu Changning called his cousin over was that he realized that with his level of skill, he couldn't handle the scene in Metropolis.

His hometown was a small third-tier city. The nightclubs there were completely incomparable to Metropolis.

With his experience. It was still difficult to handle such a place, so he had to call his cousin over.

"Let's go down and walk around. It's boring to stay in the room the whole time," Du Yuxuan said.

"I want to go to the dancefloor with those little brothers and sisters."

"I want to go too."

After saying that, Wang Lu glanced at Wang Ying. If Wang Ying didn't say anything, she wouldn't dare to go.

"Since we're already here, just go if we want to."

Since they were already here, she should just let it be. She couldn't ruin their mood either.

"Oh yeah!" Wang Lu cheered and jumped up. She called out to the others and said,

"Let's go down and take a look. I can't wait any longer."

"I think we should wait," Liu Changning said.

"My cousin often comes to such places to play. He will be here soon. When the time comes, let him bring us down so that we won't be bullied by others."

Chapter 342

"This shouldn't be necessary. Uncle is here. With him around, what are we afraid of?" Du Yuxuan said.

"You don't understand, right? Metropolis is a high-end nightclub. There are many kinds of people here. He's just a small white-collar worker. If something really happens, he won't be able to deal with it. It's better to wait for my cousin to come."

The others didn't say anything else after seeing how insistent Liu Changning was. After all, he was the one who paid for the room, so they had to give him face.

A few minutes later, the door to the room was pushed open.

Two men and three women came in from outside.

The five of them weren't very old, being about the same age as Lin Yi.

They were dressed fashionably, and it was obvious that they were nightclub regulars

"Cousin, you're here."

Seeing the man who came in, Liu Changning went up to greet him.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is my cousin, Lin Hexiang."

After saying that, Liu Changning introduced the others to Lin Hexiang, effectively combining the two groups together.

However, when he saw Wang Ying, Lin Hexiang's eyes lit up.

This woman's temperament was different from the others in the nightclub.

She looked like a good housewife.

This kid Liu Changning was really good. He actually brought a woman of such high quality. It seemed that he had to work harder.

"Students, there's no point in staying in the private room. I'll bring you down for a walk. The college entrance examination has just ended. You must release the pressure in your hearts."

Lin Hexiang's arrival gave Liu Changning some confidence. He laughed and said,

"Everyone, feel free to play today. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask my cousin. He will definitely ensure you have a good time."

"That's right. I often come to Metropolis to have fun. I know many people here, and I'm also quite familiar with the boss here. You don't have to worry about anything, just do what you want." Lin Hexiang laughed and said.

The girls were eager to give it a try, and Lin Hexiang led them out of the room.

Lin Yi and Wang Ying walked behind, the latter whispering.

"I didn't know there'd be so many people here. I'm afraid we'll be going back very late today. If you're tired, just leave, don't worry about me."

Lin Yi's hand pinched Wang Ying's waist, and he smiled.

"That idiot In Hexiang's eyeballs almost popped out when he saw you. Do you think I can leave without worrying?"

Wang Ying was a little embarrassed by Lin Yi's teasing. She whispered,

"I didn't expect our Little Yi to be so protective of his meal."

"Naturally."

"Don't worry, I won't let them succeed. I'll keep this meal just for you."

"Good, I like hearing that."

Slowly, the group arrived at the dance floor downstairs.

"Why are there two dance floors here?" Wang Lu asked when they reached the first floor.

"You don't know?" Lin Hexiang said.

"That small dance floor is usually used by newbies. Veterans like us go to the big dance floor to have fun. I'll take you there now."

Wang Lu and the others nodded. Some of them were not nervous at all.

They were all people who were preparing for the middle school arts exam and had some dancing skills. When faced with such a scene, they were not worried at all.

"What's going on? Why are these people making way for us?" Du Yuxuan asked curiously.

Lin Hexiang was also a little puzzled. Why did these people automatically make way for him when they saw him?

"Look, Mr. Lin is here."

"So he is the husband of your dreams. Legends of him have been circulating all throughout Metropolis. I didn't expect to see him in person today."

"I must record such an exciting moment. It's too exciting."

Hearing the discussions of the people next to him, Liu Changning became excited.

"Cousin, are these people talking about you when they say Mr. Lin?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be me," Lin Hexiang said with a smile.

"After all, I often come here. One time, I even bought a drink for all the people here. They should recognize me."

"Cousin, you're a little modest. There are only two people with the surname Lin here, and the other is just a white-collar worker. He hasn't even been to a nightclub before. How could anyone know him?"

"What you said makes sense."

Lin Hexiang smiled and waved his hand at the others. He didn't expect to receive such an exciting treatment just for a casual visit.

Lin Hexiang took out a golden card and handed it to the waiter.

"Waiter, open a booth for me."

"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment."

"Cousin, I saw the words 'Metropolis On this card. Is it a membership card for this club? "Liu Changning asked.

"This is the highest-quality membership card in Metropolis. You can only apply for it after you deposit 100,000 yuan," Lin Hexiang said with a smile.

"When I came to support the opening ceremony, I conveniently got one. No matter what you order, you'll receive a 70% discount. It's very cost-effective."

"Aren't you a little too reckless? You bought a 100,000 yuan card just like that?"

"It's just 100,000 yuan. It's not a big deal. I'll earn it back in a few days." 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Cousin, you're the best. I have to learn from you in the future."

"What's with all the praise? It's not a big deal." Lin Hexiang waved his hand arrogantly, "Everyone, please order whatever you want on the menu. Don't stand in ceremony with me. Since I'm here today, I have to do my best as the host. I promise that everyone here will get to eat, drink, and have fun."

The few girls nodded their heads and expressed their gratitude toward Lin Hexiang.

Although he was not as handsome as Uncle Lin, they still had to thank him for spending his money.

"Look, what did I say? When my cousin came, everyone was shocked, right?" Liu Changning said pretentiously.

"Everyone calls my cousin Mr. Lin. This is not a title that everyone can enjoy."

"Alright Changning, we're all here to play, and we're all on the same side. There's no need to show off my identity. It's meaningless."

"Cousin, no wonder you can earn so much money. Your low-key personality isn't something anyone can replicate," Liu Changning said with a laugh.

"If it were me, I'd be eager to show it off every day."

"You're still young. When you're older, you won't have such thoughts." Lin Hexiang crossed his legs. His expression was carefree, as if he was giving pointers.

"Alright, stop flattering me. Let's have a few drinks first. I'll bring you guys to the dance floor later."

"Okay, okay, okay. I can't wait either."

At the same time, there was a commotion around the booth.

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, move aside, don't block my path."

Hearing someone shouting from behind, the onlookers automatically made way.

They saw several people walking toward them with different things in their hands.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't know you would come here to hang out. I didn't prepare anything in advance. I just ordered a bottle of Ace of Spades. Have a taste."

"Mr. Lin, this is my brother. He just stole this '82 Lafite from our dad's liquor cabinet. Have a taste."

"Brother Lin, we don't have much money. We ordered a fruit plate for you. Don't mind it," a short-haired girl said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, we don't have much money. We can only send you two cases of beer."

"And our…"

It didn't take long before the table in the booth was filled to the brim with stuff. There was a mountain of stuff on the table, and they wouldn't be able to finish it even if they drank until the next morning.

Lin Yi smiled. These people had good taste. They actually took the initiative to send stuff over.

He'd better pay for the whole table later. He couldn't be too stingy.

Seeing the stuff on the coffee table, Liu Changning was dumbfounded.

His cousin's aura was too overwhelming.

He had just sat down for a few minutes, yet people were actually taking the initiative to send things over.

Awesome!

Super awesome!

"Did everyone see that? Check out this huge spread." Liu Changning straightened his back and said,

"If it weren't for my cousin, you guys would never have seen such a big spread in your entire lives."

Du Yuxuan and the other girls were also very surprised.

Zhonghai was the richest city in Huaxia. Liu Changning's cousin was really something to be able to have such a big reputation in such a city.

Seeing that the girls in front of him were all looking at him with envy, Lin Hexiang said with a smile,

"You guys are too polite. I just came here to play with my cousin and a few of his classmates, yet you guys are giving me wine and fruit platters. It's making me feel embarrassed."

"Who the f*ck are you? Don't be so smug. We're not talking about you. Stop acting cool."

Lin Hexiang paused. None of the people in the booth had any status or reputation. Who else here deserved such treatment other than himself?

"If you're not talking about me, who else could it be?"

"Well, I think the Mr. Lin they're talking about is myself," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Chapter 343

"W-what did you say?!"

Lin Hexiang almost jumped up in fright.

He couldn't imagine how much power Lin Yi had here.

"That's impossible. You're just a white-collar worker, and you came to Metropolis in my sister's car. How could you know so many people?!" Liu Changning said.

Lin Yi rubbed his nose and smiled.

"I don't really know these people, but they all know me."

"They… They all know you?"

Everyone present, apart from Wang Ying, couldn't understand why Lin Yi was so powerful.

This was too impressive.

"Lulu, is uncle really a white-collar worker?" Du Yuxuan asked in a low voice. "That's not possible."

"I… I don't know either."

"Alright, stop prying. Your Uncle's identity isn't as simple as you think," Wang Ying said.

"A secret identity!"

The girls' eyes were full of stars.

In her eyes, Lin Yi was the classic male lead in the novel.

He was an ordinary clerk in the day, not revealing himself, but at night, he would become another person, a person who could shake the whole world.

Furthermore, he was handsome. He was too awesome.

"Liu Changning, you seem to have made a mistake. The one who is really awesome isn't your cousin, it's this Uncle," Du Yuxuan said.

"Uh…"

Liu Changning smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Sister, if my future brother-in-law has such a powerful identity, why didn't you tell me?" Wang Lu said, "Does the Lykan near your house also belong to my future brother-in-law? You have to tell me the truth."

Her sister lived in a middle-class residential area. There shouldn't be such an expensive luxury car parked there.

Therefore, her sister was probably lying to her.

"Stop fooling around. That car is worth more than 60 million yuan. Who can afford it?" Liu Changning said sourly.

"It is indeed his."Wang Ying said, "I was afraid that you would start acting vain, so I initially didn't tell you."

Liu Changning and the other boys were dumbfounded. It really was his?

This was too heroic!

"Why aren't you dancing even though it is the middle of the night? What are you all gathered here for?"

Everyone turned around when they heard someone talking.

"Young Master Qin is here!"

The people around Lin Yi made way for him when they saw that it was Qin Han.

"Hello, Young Master Qin."

Lin Hexiang bowed and greeted Qin Han when he saw him enter.

"Let me introduce him to everyone. This is the famous Emperor of Zhonghai, Qin Han. I don't think you've seen him in person, but you should have heard of him online."

Wang Lu, Du Yuxuan, and the other girls looked at him with shining eyes when they learned that this was Qin Han.

Qin Han was a super popular person on the internet. They must have been living under a rock if they didn't know about him.

"Sister Ying, you're here too."

Seeing Wang Ying, Lina walked over enthusiastically and held her arm, like a close sister.

Wang Ying still had some impression of Lina.

Previously, she was blackmailed by the BMW driver, and it was Lina who stood up to help her.

"Look, what did I say? It was a good idea to come to a nightclub like this to have fun with Old Lin," Qin Han laughed.

"Lin Bro is awesome. The girls around you are much better than the ones we found," Gao Zongyuan said.

"Not only are they better, they're also younger," Liang Jinming said. "Lin Bro is the best."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Lin Yi pointed at Wang Lu.

"This is your Sister Ying's sister. The rest are her classmates, they're not just random people."

"So we're all on the same side. That's even better." Qin Han smiled.

"Let's have fun today. Tonight's drinks are all on Master Lin!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Mr. Lin is awesome!"

"Mr. Lin, I love you!"

"F*ck, you're prostituting me again," Lin Yi scolded with a smile.

"It's mainly because you have too much money. I'll help you spend it. If you don't need it, you don't need it. What else are you going to do with so much money?"

"Alright, you have a point."

It was just a bill, and it didn't cost much. Lin Yi really didn't care about such a small amount of money.

Meanwhile, Wang Lu and the other girls looked at Lin Yi with admiration.

This was the real life of the upper class.

They didn't know if they would be able to step into this circle in the future.

Bang!

Just as everyone was cheering, the entrance toMetropolis was kicked open.

The people inside were shocked.

They turned around and saw dozens of people rushing in from outside. They were all fierce-looking. They didn't look like they were here to dance, but to fight.

"Get the f*ck out of my way!"The leader of the group, a short-haired man, shouted loudly with a baseball bat in his hand.

"Call Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang out!"

Lin Yi turned around and frowned.

He didn't know the others, but he remembered one of them clearly.

He had seen him on the day he had met Li Qingfeng.

On that day, Cao Jingqiu said that the guy wouldn't change his nature and wanted to get back at him.

Lin Yi didn't expect him to be here so soon.

"What's this guy doing here?"

Qin Han had a cigarette in his mouth, a serious look in his eyes.

"You know these people?" Lin Yi asked.

"Standing at the door, that middle-aged man with the cigarette in his mouth. You see him?"

"Yeah."

"His name is Zhang Ao. He is one of Wang Mazi's two subordinates," Qin Han said.

"Don't judge him by his looks. He looks like a girl, but he can really fight. I heard that he is facing a manslaughter charge, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"How does he compare to Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang?" Lin Yi asked.

"He's a level higher than them,"Qin Han said. "Although Baldy Qiang and Yao Donglai are not small figures in Zhonghai, there are still a fair few people in Zhonghai who are about the same level as them."

"On the other hand, Wang Mazi and Zhang Ao are already established figures. You should understand what I mean by this, right?"

"I understand now that you put it that way," Lin Yi said. "In other words, people like Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang cannot compare."

Lin Yi could see some clues from Qin Han's attitude.

When he had previously met Liu Qiang before this, he was spouting all kinds of vulgarity.

Now, as he was faced with Zhang Ao, even though he was still cursing, he was being much more controlled. This was enough to show that this guy's status in Zhonghai was much higher than Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang's.

That last sentence was enough to explain the problem.

"Looks like it's not going to be a peaceful night." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Isn't that good? There's a show for us to watch."

Liang Jinming and Gao Yuanzong leaned back in their seats and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to be able to catch a special show. This is so exciting."

"So, it turns out you three came here today to watch me in a show," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Chapter 344

"Ah?! What did you say?"

Qin Han sat up. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Right." Liang Jinming said. "I heard from Brother Qin that you know Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang, but there's no need for you to get involved in this, right?"

Lin Yi pointed at Li Qingfeng. "See that fatty beside Zhang Ao? His name is Li Qingfeng, and he's here for me. Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang are extras for them to vent their anger."

"F*ck, this is heaven-defying!"

"Don't worry, take your time."

"Make way!"

At the same time, Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang hurried down the stairs with their men.

However, when they saw Zhang Ao, their expressions became very serious.

Li Qingfeng was nothing, but Zhang Ao was a tough one. Or rather, Wang Mazi, who was standing behind him, was the one that they couldn't afford to offend.

"Brother Zhang, you're the best. You brought so many people to support us. Brother, I'll arrange a big room for you. If you don't think it's enough, I'll clear the whole floor for you," Yao Donglai said with a smile.

"Since you're here, let's gamble a bit as well."

"Old Yao, don't mess around with me." Zhang Ao threw the cigarette butt away.

"You know what's going on. You're the one who messed up Old Li's company, right? You even cheated him out of a few million yuan. That's not fair."

"This…"

"Yao Donglai, Liu Qiang. We have known each other for some time, but we have to talk about this matter properly," said Li Qingfeng.

"I've been in the underworld for so many years, and I'm not a pushover. Don't blame me, Li Qingfeng, for ignoring the code of conduct in the underworld if something doesn't change right now."

"Then what do you want us to do?" Yao Donglai asked.

"Hand over the person who cheated me out of money today. Secondly, if you give me another million yuan, we'll call it even," said Li Qingfeng.

"You know how Zhang Bro is. Don't make a scene."

"Old Li, that's a bit too much."

"I'm too much?" Li Qingfeng laughed coldly.

"You guys ripped me off for no reason. I didn't say you were too much then, but now you're here complaining."

"You!"

"Alright, cut the crap." Lin Yi said lightly. "You're just here to find me, right? I'm here as well. Just come here and talk."

Li Qingfeng tiptoed and looked over when he heard Lin Yi's voice.

There were a few young men sitting in the booth in front of Mr. Fa, but their backs were all facing him.

However, he could tell that the person who spoke was the man who had extorted him during the day!

Even so, Lin Yi didn't turn his head at all. His back was facing Li Qingfeng and Zhang Ao, and he didn't let them see his face.

"Let's go and take a look."

Zhang Ao said with an unfriendly expression.

Here they were calling out for blood, but this guy was still sitting in place without flinching. This was pretty impressive.

Zhang Ao led his people and walked over alongside Li Qingfeng.

Wang Lu and the other girls were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe. They stood aside quietly.

They were just here to experience the life of a nightclub. Why did this happen?

This really cast a shadow over these young girls who were visiting a club for the first time.

"Brother Zhang, it's this kid. He cheated me out of several million yuan. I'll have to trouble you to make the decision for me."

Zhang Ao didn't respond. His face was full of surprise.

"Isn't this Young Master Qin?"

"Oh, so it turns out you still remember me." Qin Han crossed his legs and said indifferently, "Old Lin is my brother. What do you want to do about this?"

Li Qingfeng didn't know much about the rich second generation in Zhonghai, and he had always looked down on them. These rich second generations only knew how to spend their family's money.

Therefore, he didn't have any impression of Qin Han.

However, Zhang Ao was different. He had heard of Qin Han's name before.

"Young Master Qin, don't worry about this matter. We have our own rules to follow. There are two ways we can go about this, but I must ask that you don't interfere," said Zhang Ao.

"What? Do I, Qin Han, not even have any shred of reputation anymore?"

"This isn't a matter of reputation, it's just the rules of the underworld. You have to follow the rules when you're out here, right?" Zhang Ao said.

"Otherwise, people like us would have made a fortune by now just by going around robbing civilians every day."

Qin Han was about to speak when Lin Yi patted his leg and stopped him.

"He's already here, yet you want to settle things with just one sentence. It's against the rules to make him come all the way here for nothing. There's always room for negotiation, so let's talk slowly."

Liu Changning stood on the side, trembling. Although he didn't like Lin Yi in his heart, the way he spoke and his attitude was really cool.

He was just like the big boss of those gangs.

"It's good that you're willing to talk. Things are not the way they were before, and we don't like fighting anymore. Let's talk slowly."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance." Lin Yi looked up at Li Qingfeng and said with a smile.

"Actually, I've already told Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang to pick a time to kill you. I didn't expect you to rush here tonight. It looks like the king of Hell wants you to live a little longer. I'm all ears now, so tell me what you think."

Li Qingfeng shivered, feeling a little scared.

It was a good thing that he had brought Zhang Ao here tonight, or else he wouldn't have been able to see the sun tomorrow.

"My request is very simple. Give me back the 15 million, and then give me two million for the mental damage you caused, and we'll call it even."

Lin Yi poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.

"11.2 million of the 15 million is for the construction done by Chaoyang Group. You want that back?"

"I made it very clear. I'll pay up the money I owe Chaoyang Group, but I'm a little short on cash. I need this money to support my other projects. I'll pay you back when I have more money."

"If I remember correctly, that's what you said four months ago, and it stayed the same until today. When will you have the money?

"What if one day you get hit by a truck on the road and die? How are we going to get the money then?"

In Lieu Changning and Wang Lu's eyes, Lin Yi's words were just a hypothetical situation.

However, to Li Qingfeng, this was a blatant threat.

With these people's methods, it wasn't difficult for them to cause a traffic accident.

"This is the nature of the construction business. The capital turnover cycle is quite long, and four months isn't considered a long period. As long as you return the money, I'll have enough funds to support the next project. I'll be able to return the money to you soon," Li Qingfeng said.

"What about you?" Lin Yi looked at Zhang Ao. "Do you have anything to say?"

Zhang Ao shrugged. "You guys can handle the money-related matters yourself. I'll only show up if a satisfactory conclusion cannot be reached."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "In other words, you're supporting him in not paying back the money, right?"

"I already said that it's up to you guys to handle the money-related matters. It's none of my business."

"Zhang Ao, that's a bit too much." Qin Han said.

"You don't even want to pay back the money you owe?"

"Young Master Qin, I'm just following the rules. I hope you can understand."

When Li Qingfeng first looked for Zhang Ao, he had already made it clear to him that no matter how much money he got back, he would give him 30% of the final amount.

For this reason, he naturally wanted as much as possible, so he wouldn't interfere in this matter.

"Alright, I'll handle this. Don't say anything else."

Lin Yi looked at Li Qingfeng and said,

"You want me to return the 15 million to you, and then pay you an additional two million for mental damage. You also want Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang to hand you another one million. That's a total of 18 million, right?"

"That's right."

Lin Yi's expression froze as he looked at Li Qingfeng.

"Are you sure you won't regret taking this 18 million?"

"Why would I regret this? It's all the money I deserve."

With Zhang Ao here, Li Qingfeng's back was straight, and he wasn't afraid of Lin Yi.

"Okay."

Lin Yi took out his checkbook and wrote the 18 million on it, then pushed it to Li Qingfeng.

"Here's the money, take it."

Chapter 345

Li Qingfeng's face lit up. He didn't think that Lin Yi would give up so quickly.

It seemed that bringing Zhang Ao to settle things was the right decision.

Even though he still had to give him 30% of the reward, the price was worth it.

"Wait."

Li Qingfeng was just about to get the check when he was stopped by Zhang Ao. He looked at Lin Yi and said.

"Mr. Lin, I've met a lot of people like you before. If Li Qingfeng dares to take the check today, I believe that you won't let him off so easily. You will definitely go after him again, so I have to remind you that if you go after Li Qingfeng again because of this, I, Zhang Ao, will be there."

The rules Zhang Ao was talking about were very clear in this regard.

If today were just a one-time deal, Li Qingfeng wouldn't have an easy time in the future.

According to the rules of the underworld, Zhang Ao will end up being held responsible for this matter.

If Lin Yi were to cause trouble for Li Qingfeng again in the future, Zhang Ao wouldn't be able to ask for any more money until this matter was finally resolved.

Naturally, if Li Qingfeng had other matters that required his attention, then Zhang Ao could demand extra.

This was the so-called rule.

"Don't worry, I, Lin Yi, won't be so stingy. I would never do something as shady as to find someone to settle accounts for me."

"That's for the best, of course."

Zhang Ao's face was full of impatience.

He could get 30% of the 18 million back, and in just a few hours, he'd earned 5.2 million. This way of earning money was simply irresistible.

"I won't stand on ceremony then, since you're so straightforward, Mr. Lin," Li Qingfeng said.

"It wasn't a pleasant experience, but we've gotten to know each other. If you need anything in the future, just ask me, and I'll do my best to help you. I won't ."

Lin Yi didn't say anything and merely smiled.

Qin Han lit a cigarette and leaned against the booth.

He didn't know what Lin Yi was up to, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't give in so easily.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be Lin Yi.

Bang!

The moment Li Qingfeng went to get the check, Lin Yi picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades from the table and smashed it on Li Qingfeng's Head!

Ah!

Li Qingfeng covered his head with his hands and collapsed to the ground.

Blood and wine flowed onto the ground, and he couldn't even stand up.

"Actually, my personality is quite similar to yours. I don't like to take revenge the next day, so today's matter has to end tonight."

Qin Han, Zhang Ao, and the others were all shocked.

No one expected Lin Yi to grab a bottle of champagne and hit him.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this? You've already taken out the money. Don't you mean to give it to me?" Zhang Ao said.

"How can anyone take my money?"

"I, Zhang Ao, am standing right here. Don't I deserve my cut?"

"The door is behind me, take your people and get out of here. Don't stop me from drinking."

Everyone in Metropolis was scared silly.

No one expected Lin Yi to be so ruthless.

The man was Zhang Ao, and the boss behind him was the famous Wang Mazi.

Now that such a big issue had happened, there was no way to quietly resolve the mess.

"F*ck, I, Zhang Ao, have been around for so many years. Do you think I'm a vegetarian?!"

Zhang Ao was burning with anger. He didn't care about anything else and swung his fist at Lin Yi.

Zhang Ao's skills were indeed as Qin Han had claimed. From the angle of his attack, it could be seen that he had practiced this punch many times before.

However, Lin Yi wasn't bad either. With the help of the Sage's wisdom, he had memorized countless combat techniques. Therefore, he was confident in dealing with Zhang Ao.

Lin Yi turned sideways and dodged Zhang Ao's fist.

Then, he used his left hand to grab the letters arm and pulled him towards him.

He was holding the same bottle in his right hand that he had used to smash Li Qingfeng, and thrust it into Zhang Ao's stomach!

Ah!

Zhang Ao covered his wound with his hand, his eyes wide open.

"You, you…"

"Boss!"

Seeing Zhang Ao injured, his underling ran over to help him up.

Now was not the time for revenge. They had to send their boss to the hospital, or else he could lose his life.

"Don't move. If anyone dares to help him, I'll call a car tomorrow and arrange for their whole family to be dealt with," Lin Yi said as he pointed at everyone with half a bloody bottle.

Qin Han's mouth twitched slightly.

Old Lin was really something. He could do such an arrogant thing.

Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan also gave him a thumbs up.

Brother Lin was a ruthless person.

"Yao Donglai," Liang Jinming called out, "Go and get a few bottles of Ace of Spades for Brother Lin. These things are much easier to use than baseball bats."

Yao Donglai's expression fell. You rich kids are really lawless. If you continue to fight like this, someone will eventually die.

Zhang Ao's little brother was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

He wanted to take the truck and arrange to take out his whole family. Who could bear this kind of threat?

Zhang Ao covered his wound and lay on the ground. His face had lost all color, and even his breathing became difficult.

"Send… send me to the hospital…" 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

"Didn't you ask me for money earlier? Now you don't want it?" Lin Yi said faintly.

"No, no, send me to the hospital, Please…"

Zhang Ao knew his current state. If this dragged on, he would lose too much blood and die.

Money wasn't important right now. The only thing that mattered was getting through this.

He threw aside the half bottle and shook off the blood on his hand. Then, Lin Yi looked at the others and said,

"Aren't you going to f*Cking leave? Are you staying here to wait for me to invite you to dance?"

Zhang Ao's lackeys shivered as they stepped forward and helped him and Li Qingfeng up before running away from the club.

The area quieted down, but it was still a mess.

The people present didn't want to party anymore. They looked at Lin Yi and Qin Han quietly, not knowing what they were going to do next.

"Old Lin, don't worry. I'll help you settle this," Qin Han said righteously.

"If I still needed you guys to help me settle this, I wouldn't have had the guts to do that to him," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Whatever happens, happens. You guys don't have to worry about it. If they come looking for me then we'll deal with it then."

"How can I do that? It's true that WangMazi isn't easy to deal with. It's better to deal with him as soon as possible."

"There's really no need for that. I can't just have you guys clean up my mess for me. What a headache that would be for you."

Lin Yi stood up, stretched, and looked at Wang Ying and the others.

"It's getting late. Let's go back. If you haven't had enough fun, we can come back when we have time."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go."

Wang Lu, Du Yuxuan, and the others were a little scared. They'd thought that this place was quite interesting before.

They probably wouldn't dare come back after what happened today.

Looking at the blood on the ground, Wang Ying sighed.

She and Lin Yi were from two different worlds.

She had to clarify her position in the future.

Chapter 346

Lin Yi and the others walked out of Metropolis under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"I had invited you guys to have some fun today, but I didn't think that something like this would happen. I'll pick a time to invite you guys out for a gathering in the future."

"We're brothers, this is just a small matter."

Qin Han waved his hand as he watched Lin Yi and the others leave. Then, he turned around and said to Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan,

"Pay attention to this for the next few days. That old fart, Wang, still has some power around here. Be attentive and don't cause any trouble."

"Got it, Brother Qin."

Qin Han turned back to look at Yao Donglai and Liu Qiang. "Metropolis should close for the next few days. If Wang Mazi sends people to cause trouble, you will suffer some pretty heavy losses. Old Lin and I can't be here all the time to protect you."

Qin Han clearly knew that no matter who was at a disadvantage, neither side would be able to make the other party give in.

This was because none of the participants in this mess were easy to deal with. In terms of strength, they were evenly matched. It was not to the extent that either side could completely crush the other, so they each had to minimize their losses.

"Thank you for your reminder, Young Master Qin. We know what to do."

"Alright, that's all for now. We'll be leaving first."

Qin Han and the others drove off after arranging the affairs in Metropolis, continuing their hunt for the next place to party.

…

After leaving Metropolis, Lin Yi and the others went their separate ways and returned home with the two sisters.

"Brother-in-law, you were so attractive just now," Wang Lu said eagerly.

"Just like in the TV shows. If I become a star in the future, I'll definitely recommend you to the director to play the role of the mafia boss. A gentle and refined person like you will definitely become popular as soon as you appear on the screen!"

"Don't give your brother Lin any bad ideas," Wang Ying said. "The money he makes in the entertainment industry isn't even enough for him to buy a car every year."

"That's true," Wang Lu said. "With Brother Lin's strength, he can't live on other's mercy."

Lin Yi smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

"Alright, you two are home. I'll head back first."

"It's already past 12. Just stay here for the night." Wang Ying said. "I'll share the master bedroom with Lulu."

"Sis, what are you talking about? If you share a room with me, what's the point of my Brother-In-Law staying here?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Wang Ying scolded.

She was her sister, after all, so she was a little embarrassed by this.

"Nonsense?" Wang Lu said. "How about this? I'm going to stay in a hotel while you two stay at home. I'm eighteen, and we're both adults. Don't worry, I understand."

"Understand my *ss. Go back upstairs and get to bed."

Lin Yi smiled. "Alright, you two head to bed. We're not far from my house, so I'll go back first."

"Okay, then get home safe."

"Yeah, I know what I'm doing."

"Bye, Brother-In-Law."

After seeing Lin Yi off, the two went upstairs. Wang Ying took off her clothes and prepared to wash up and rest.

"I'm telling you, don't call Lin Yi brother-in-law any more."

"Huh? Why? He's already staying at your house, doesn't that count as him being my brother-in-law?"

"I'm a few years older than him, and I'm a divorcee. Do you think I'm worthy of him?"

Wang Lu pouted. "Brother Lin is indeed very outstanding."

There was nothing to say about his looks. Furthermore, he was rich. Most importantly, he had a heightened sense of responsibility, so there were no obvious flaws to his person.

On the other hand, although her elder sister was good-looking, she seemed to be lacking in other aspects.

Just as her elder sister had said, she had even been divorced before. Looking at it this way, there were not many advantages to dating her.

"Sister, don't tell me the two of you are in that kind of relationship?" Wang Lu asked tentatively.

"Little brat, don't ask so many questions. Hurry up and take a bath and go to bed."

"Hehe, I'll know when you say that." Wang Lu smiled and said, "Brother Lin is so outstanding. Even if it's that kind of relationship, I can still accept it."

"Go, go, go take a bath. Don't pry into the affairs of adults!"

"Okay."

…

Zhonghai City First Hospital.

Zhang Ao's subordinates had been waiting outside the operating theater.

However, a middle-aged man in linen pants and a white robe was sitting on a bench at the side.

The middle-aged man's appearance was horrifying. His face was full of pits and scars, and he was very unattractive.

The man's name was Wang Bing. He used to be a container worker at Zhonghai Yangshan Wharf.

In the end, he was recognized by the boss because of his ruthlessness and became the head of security. He was responsible for the security of the whole wharf.

Due to the nature of his work, Wang Bing got to know many people. In the end, he established his own business and made a name for himself in Zhonghai.

After more than 20 years of development, he had become the number one figure in the underground world of Zhonghai. Anyone who saw him would call him Brother Wang.

However, behind his back, everyone called him Wang Mazi.

There was a tanned man standing beside Wang Mazi. He was 1.9 meters tall, and there was a light stubble on his chin. The edges and corners of his chin were clear, and even when he breathed, he seemed to have a ruthless air about him.

The man's name was Yan Biao, and like Zhang Ao, he was Mazi Wang's right-hand man.

However, his strength was greater than Zhang Ao's. He was even more ruthless than the latter!

"Boss, I've finished interrogating my men. The person who did this is called Lin Yi. He should be from a decent family, and he calls Qin Han his brother," Yan Biao said.

"Qin Han even came out to protect him when he was in trouble.

"Qin Han is a smart man. If he was just an ordinary friend, he probably wouldn't have interfered in our affairs. Thus, their relationship shouldn't be ordinary."

Wang Bing had met Qin Han once when they were having dinner, so he knew a little about him.

He never felt that Qin Han was one of those rich second generations who had lost his mind to worldly pleasures.

He still had a brain.

"Do we need to inform the Qin family about this?" Yan Biao asked.

"This is Qin Han's business. We don't have the family involved yet," Wang Bing said. "We can handle it ourselves."

"But I've thought about it. This Lin Yi is Qin Han's brother, and his skills aren't bad. He must secretly hold a lot of power. Shouldn't we be more cautious?"

"What do you mean by cautious?" Wang Bing asked faintly.

"It doesn't seem appropriate to attack him directly," Yan Biao said. "I also see a lot of women around him. Should we start with these people?"

"Ah Biao, you've been by my side for seven or eight years, right?" Wang Bing sighed.

"It's been eight years."

"It's already been so long. Why hasn't there been any progress at all?" Wang Bing said.

"We've already reached this stage, yet, when we encounter some problems, we still use such dirty methods to resolve them. We won't be able to achieve anything big in our lifetime if this continues." 𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂

"Boss, didn't you teach me to only look at the results and not the process?"

"When I said this, it was because we hadn't established ourselves in Zhonghai yet. It's different now. If we continue to play the same game as before, we won't be able to move up in the world." Wang Bing held the mala beads in his hand and said slowly,

"When someone hits you, you get someone to beat them up. This is called returning the favor."

"When someone beats you up, you take a hoe and throw it at their ancestors' graves. This is breaking the rules. This is what villains do. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Boss," Yan Biao said.

"I'm going to investigate this person now. We must make him give us an explanation."

"Don't be anxious. The company has a bidding project with the Zhao family now. If there is any trouble in the near future, it will affect the company's reputation and affect the bidding results. We will close this bid in half a month. It won't be too late to act then."

"Okay!"

Chapter 347

It was already past nine when Lin Yi opened his eyes the next morning.

There was a WeChat message on his phone. It was from Ji Qingyan.

Ji Qingyan: "Did you oversleep yesterday? You don't need money, so why are you so tired? Call me when you wake up."

Lin Yi guessed that he probably didn't pick her up for work in the morning and she had guessed that he was asleep.

If she didn't hear from him by noon, she would have probably called the police. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Yi called her back after he saw her message, so she wouldn't miss him too much.

He heard a few more extra words from her over the phone.

She almost said 'I'll raise you myself' to stop Lin Yi from working so hard.

After washing up, Lin Yi went out for a simple breakfast and continued driving.

After driving for such a long time, Lin Yi was finally familiar with this profession.

His efficiency had increased a lot, and he could meet all kinds of people every day.

Occasionally, Lin Yi felt that this job wasn't too bad, as it even trained his mind.

He took seven orders by one o'clock in the afternoon, and drove another 100 kilometers, steadily increasing his efficiency.

Ring, ring, ring…

Just as Lin Yi was about to accept another order, he received a call from Wang Ran.

"Teacher Lin, I want to report something to you."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Yi parked his car by the side of the road, ready to listen to Wang Ran's report.

Although she was still lacking in business skills, her work ethic was undeniable. Every day, she would compile the major and minor events of the day into a document before sending it to him.

If it was an urgent matter, she would call him immediately, just like today.

"At Cisco, the trial production phase has ended. Two containers came in today, and they are filled with raw materials. It seems that they are preparing to produce the entire line."

Lin Yi nodded. From Wang Ran's previous reports, Lin Yi guessed that this day was fast approaching. According to the timeline, it was just a few days off from his expectations.

"Other than that, is Cao Xiangyu doing anything else?" Lin Yi asked.

"I overheard him on the phone yesterday. Cisco seems to be thinking of increasing contract manufacturing, but I don't know when it's going to happen." Wang Ran said.

"Alright, I got it." Lin Yi said.

"Wait for me at the factory. I'll head over now. Oh, and there's something else I need you to do. Contact two excavators and bring them to the factory. We need them fast as I'll need them later."

"Got it, Teacher Lin."

Although she didn't know what Lin Yi wanted the excavators for, Wang Ran didn't dare to ask further and simply nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi looked around, found a parking spot, parked the car, and took a taxi to Xiangyang Industrial Area.

The Lykan was too much. If he drove there in it, he wouldn't be able to explain himself, and he wouldn't be able to scam the other party any longer.

As an actor, one had to be more professional.

Forty minutes later, Lin Yi's cab arrived at Xiangyang Industrial Area.

As usual, Lin Yi stayed at the entrance of Cisco's factory for a while longer.

However, today, he discovered something different.

Two Toyota Coasters drove out of Cisco's factory and headed far away.

This discovery made Lin Yi suspicious.

Normally, only officials would buy such a car. Could it be that the higher-ups were here to inspect the factory?

Lin Yi thought about it and found that this might be the case.

Cisco's chip 1.0 technology had already been recognized by the industry. As a high-tech industry that could bring out the best in Zhonghai, it seemed reasonable for the higher-ups to inspect the situation here.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. If an official really came to inspect the place, Cao Xiangyu would have another chance to show off.

When Lin Yi arrived at the Sci-Tech factory, he found a couple of excavators parked at the entrance. Wang Ran was indeed quite efficient.

He could hear the roaring inside the workshop when he arrived at the factory. He could also see that many people were walking about in a hurry.

There were even people running in with two pancakes in their hands, as if they were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat.

It was the complete opposite of the cold and cheerless scene from a few days ago.

Wang Ran was fiddling with her computer when she arrived at the office. She looked like a real white-collar worker.

"Teacher Lin, you're here." Wang Ran Stood up and said,

"The excavator is here. Is there anything that needs to be renovated?"

"I'm not looking to renovate, I'm looking to demolish." Lin Yi said with a smile. "Tell the excavator to demolish the few warehouses over there."

"Ah!? Tear down the warehouses?"

Wang Ran's expression froze in an instant. She couldn't understand why Lin Yi would do that.

"Just do as I say. When we try to do it, someone will stop us."

"Okay."

Wang Ran still didn't understand. The warehouse was right in front of them, and the excavator was at the entrance of the factory. They could tear it down immediately if they wished. Even if someone tried to stop them, it would be too late.

The two of them walked out of the office. The excavator drivers were also getting into position at that moment. Once they received the order, they would immediately start working.

"Boss, hurry up. I have something to do later. Hurry up and demolish the four warehouses behind us. Then, dig a two-meter deep pit in the location."

"Boss, those are such good warehouses. It would be a pity to demolish them," the honest driver replied.

"What's there to be sorry about? I want to dig a big hole to raise koi fish in the future. When the feng shui changes, I'll have as much money as I want. Why would I care about these warehouses?"

"No way, you want to tear down the warehouse to raise koi fish?"

The excavator driver was dumbfounded. Wasn't this too wasteful?

With your behavior, you definitely won't be able to raise koi fish well!

"That's right, tear it down now. If the effect is good, I'll tear down this factory in the future as well. If I raise more, I might be able to become the richest man in the world."

The excavator drivers were speechless.

They had lived for so many years, but they had never heard of a rich man who made his fortune by raising koi.

"Alright, hurry up and get to work." Lin Yi said.

"My secretary told me you charge 1,500 a day, right? If you're quick, I'll give you another 500 a day."

"Boss, I saw it from the moment we met. You definitely got what it takes to be successful at farming koi. You'll definitely become the world's richest man in less than five years."

"I like what I'm hearing. Get to work. Tear down all four warehouses. Hurry up."

"Okay."

The two drivers entered their cockpits enthusiastically. They were so focused that they were confident that they would be able to tear down four aircraft carriers, much less the four warehouses in front of him.

Lin Yi brought Wang Ran to the side to supervise the work.

Wang Ran's heart ached a little. It would be a pity if they tore it down. Didn't Teacher Lin say that someone would stop them? Who would come?!

Could it be Cao Xiangyu?

He was at Cisco, so he probably didn't even know about this. He couldn't possibly come in time!

Ring, ring, ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang at this moment.

As expected, it was Cao Xiangyu calling.

Wang Ran was surprised.

"Teacher Lin, Cao Xiangyu called!"

Chapter 348

"Why are you so excited?" Lin Yi said. "Calm down."

"Is he here to stop you from tearing down the warehouse?"

"Of course, or else he wouldn't have called me at this time."

"But how did he know that we were going to tear down the warehouse?" Wang Ran was curious.

"Guess?"

Wang Ran thought for a moment and finally came to a realization.

"Don't tell me he's got people keeping an eye on us?"

"Smart." Lin Yi smiled.

"Right now, even the guard at the door might have been bribed by that idiot. Whether it's you or me, he knows every move we make here."

Lin Yi hung up the phone without answering.

"Teacher Lin, why aren't you picking up? Pick up!" Wang Ran couldn't help but urge.

She had been waiting for this call for a long time. If he didn't pick up, it would be a waste of her energy.

"What's the rush? If you're so impatient, how are you going to do big things in the future?"

"Oh, I got it, Teacher Lin."

Ring, ring, ring…

At the same time, Cao Xiangyu called again.

However, this time, Lin Yi didn't hang up nor pick up. He just let it ring.

Three more calls followed, but Lin Yi still didn't pick up.

A few minutes later, the two excavators drove to the warehouse and found an open space to start working.

Two thousand a day was a once-in-a-century job. Whatever it was, I'll tear it down today!

"Hey, hey, hey wait! Don't move!"

Just as the digger was about to make his move, he heard a desperate shout.

It was Cao Xiangyu and his secretary. They ran over from the entrance.

However, their clothes were a little messy.

Cao Xiangyu's belt wasn't fastened, and his pants were unzipped. His secretary was tidying her shirt as she ran. Nobody knew what they were doing before this.

"Yo, Brother Cao is here." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing? I called you a few times just now, why didn't you pick up?"

Lin Yi took out his phone and pretended to be surprised. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I was talking to my secretary just now, and I didn't have time to think about my phone. Were you looking for me?"

"What are you trying to do by mobilizing so many people and bringing two excavators here?"

"Brother Cao's memory is really bad. Didn't I tell you before when we were having dinner at the dining table? I want to tear down the warehouse and dig a big fish pond to raise koi fish to change my luck. Recently, my luck hasn't been very good. I went to Women, and the 500,000 that you gave me was gone in less than two days. If I don't think of a way to get some money, I won't be able to survive in the future."

The corners of Cao Xiangyu's mouth twitched. You're too much of a scammer.

He'd lost 500,000 yuan in less than two days?

His father had so much money, but he'd never squandered it like this.

"Brother Lin, your memory's too bad. Didn't we agree at the dinner table that the warehouse would be left for us to use? Why'd you go back on your word?"

"Ah? Did I say that?" Lin Yi said. "Why don't I remember?"

"You did say that. How could Brother Cao Lie to you?"

Although he was smiling, Cao Xiangyu was cursing Lin Yi in his heart.

What a fickle person. He didn't keep his promise.

"I remember now. I did say that." Lin Yi pretended to be troubled.

"Brother Cao, you have to understand my difficulties. I don't have any money in my pocket. If I don't destroy this warehouse to raise koi, I might lose everything.

"But don't worry. When my luck changes, I'll build a few more warehouses for you and let you use them as you please."

Cao Xiangyu had the urge to curse. With your character, you won't be able to make a fortune in your next life. If I were to rely on you, I'd suffer a fate worse than death.

"Brother Lin, if you focus on money, then your perspective will become too narrow." Cao Xiangyu took out a cigarette and wanted to pass it to Lin Yi to ease his mood.

"According to science, smoking too much can lead to premature ejaculation, so I quit early." Lin Yi said.

"Uh…"

Cao Xiangyu's expression was a little unnatural, even a little awkward. Lin Yi seemed to have hit the nail on the head.

"So, there's… there's such a thing…"

"Of course, it's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my secretary. I do it every day and night with her." Lin Yi said.

Wang Ran's face turned red, but she didn't say anything.

Her shy expression seemed to be a tacit agreement in Cao Xiang Yu's Eyes.

At the same time, he cursed Lin Yi even more in his heart.

He was obviously an ignorant bastard, so how could he do much better than me?!

"Hehehe…"

Cao Xiangyu smiled awkwardly and put the cigarette back into the carton.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's continue our previous topic."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's continue the topic. "Lin Yi said.

"I love money a little. Why is it so small?"

"I understand your difficulties, but you can't demolish the warehouse. There's always a path in front of the mountain. You can't use such an extreme method to overcome them."

"Then Cao Bro, give me some ideas. How can I get money?" Lin Yi said angrily.

"I'm not in the mood to listen to a f*cking love story. I just want to get the money!"

"That's easy. Just call me, Brother Cao. I'll naturally help you if you're in trouble."

Cao Xiangyu took out his checkbook and wrote Lin Yi a check for 100,000 yuan.

"Brother Lin, take this money and spend it. If it's not enough, you can tell me again. I'll ensure you never run out of options."

"It's not enough, I'm running out of options." Lin Yi said.

Cao Xiangyu, "…"

'What the f*ck!'

"Is 100,000 yuan not enough?" Cao Xiangyu asked.

"Didn't I tell you just now? I went to Aumen two days ago, and not only did I lose 500,000 yuan, but I also owe 200,000 yuan to a loan shark. This is not enough for me to pay off my debt."

Lin Yi handed the check to Cao Xiangyu. "You should take this money back. It'll be faster to raise koi fish. I need the money urgently, so please understand."

Lin Yi looked at the two excavators.

"Bosses, hurry up and do it. Don't hesitate, get it done."

"Okay."

The two excavators were extremely excited when they heard Lin Yi's order.

At the same time, they cursed at Cao Xiangyu's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.

Where the hell did this fatty come from? He's trying to destroy my source of income! Get lost.

"Don't, don't, don't, Lin Bro. It's just a debt of 200,000 yuan. We're brothers, I'll help you settle it."

Lin Yi wanted to say that they couldn't be brothers due to his handsome face, but he held it in for the sake of money.

"If that's the case, I have to thank you, Brother Cao. If it wasn't for your 200,000, I'd be finished." Lin Yi said.

"Sure, sure. It's not a big deal."

Cao Xiangyu took out his checkbook again and wrote another 100,000 yuan check for Lin Yi. He handed it to Lin Yi along with the previous one.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to take it, Cao Xiangyu's hand retracted.

"Brother Cao, what do you mean? Are you not willing to give it to me? Then I'll have to tear down the warehouse."

Cao Xiangyu smiled at Lin Yi.

"That's not what I meant. I'm prepared to give you the 200,000 as well, but I have a condition. I hope you can agree to it."

Chapter 349

"What conditions? Brother Cao, just say it. I'll definitely agree to anything I can do."

The corners of Cao Xiangyu's mouth curled up, revealing a disdainful smile.

As expected, this kind of person didn't care about anything else.

As long as he showed the money, forget one condition, even a hundred wouldn't be a problem.

"In order to prevent this from happening again, I'd like you to hand the management of the warehouse over to me, Bro."

"No way, that's a bit too much. If I handed over the management of the warehouse to you, wouldn't you be the factory director?"

"Look at what you're saying. We just want to help manage the warehouse. After all, the goods inside are all Cisco products. If anything were to happen one day, Brother Lin won't be able to explain himself. I'm doing this for your own good."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin and pondered,

"Brother Cao is right. The goods inside are all yours. If something happens to them, I won't be able to explain myself. I might even have to take legal responsibility."

"Exactly. I'm putting myself in your shoes too. I'm thinking from your point of view. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done such a thankless thing." Cao Xiangyu said.

"In order to take care of you, I'm willing to shoulder the responsibility. This is just to make things easier for you."

"If that's the case, then I really have to thank you for your good intentions, Brother Cao."

"Sure, sure, sure. We're brothers, after all."

"Then let's quickly sign a contract and settle this matter. From now on, the warehouse in the factory will be under your control. The people of Sci-Tech will not be responsible for the business done here. Any problems will be yours to deal with. It will have nothing to do with us."

Cao Xiangyu's face lit up. Calling him an idiot wasn't an exaggeration at all.

Taking 200,000 yuan today was equivalent to buying four warehouses. Sigh, calling him an idiot would be a compliment at this point.

"Let's go, let's go sign the contract now."

The group of four returned to Wang Ran's office. The task of drafting the contract fell to Lin Yi and Wang Ran.

Lin Yi made more than ten suggestions during this time, pushing responsibility away from himself.

Cao Xiangyu lit a cigarette and looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

Wang Tianlong leaving the factory to his brother-in-law was a stupid decision.

It wouldn't take long for him to squander it all away.

"President Cao, smoke less," the secretary reminded him in a low voice.

Cao Xiangyu's expression was furious, he nearly opened his mouth to shout, "Are you motherf*cking Emperor Lao Tze?!"

However, he then remembered what Lin Yi said just now.

Thus, he shut up and stomped out the cigarette butt.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi handed the four-page contract to Cao Xiangyu.

"I have already signed it. Once Brother Cao signs the contract, it will immediately take effect. After that, we won't worry about the warehouse anymore."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll sign it now."

Cao Xiangyu took the pen and signed his name.

He was extremely excited.

Now, the production line of Sci-Tech was solely in his hands, and their warehouse also now belonged to him.

According to this situation, more than 80% of the entire industrial area was under his control.

The only things he did not control now were the canteen and toilets. 𝓵𝓲𝙗𝓻𝓮𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Cao Xiangyu couldn't help but snicker at the thought. He was going to tell his dad about this later.

It could be considered a complete comeback.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin, silently confirming that the production lines and warehouses were now in Cao Xiangyu's hands.

Apart from the canteen and toilets, there didn't seem to be anything else he could influence.

Judging from the current situation, he would have to do more work on the canteen and the toilet next time.

This was naturally just an act though. If he didn't do at least this much, he would look unprofessional.

"Brother Cao, the contract has been signed. We have reached an agreement. From now on, our production line and warehouse will be handed over to you. I wish Brother Cao a prosperous business. When you make a fortune in the future, don't forget about me."

"Don't worry, there won't be a problem. I'll make sure you always have food on your table from now on. We're brothers, and Brother Cao is the most loyal person there is."

"I'll remember that. If you have any problems in the future, I'll ask you for help."

"No problem."

Cao Xiangyu stood up with a smile. "I still have something else to do. I won't talk to you any longer."

"Okay, okay, okay. Go do your work, Brother. I won't stop you from getting rich."

Wang Ran approached Lin Yi carefully as Cao Xiangyu and his secretary left.

"Teacher Lin, the warehouse belongs to us. Why should we let them take care of it?" Cao Xiangyu asked

"Didn't I tell you just now? The warehouse is theirs. What if something goes wrong? Are you going to take the responsibility or should I?" Lin Yi asked.

Wang Ran puffed up her cheeks. Although such a risk did indeed exist, from what she knew, all the warehouses in the area were managed by their own people. No one was so afraid of shouldering responsibility that they would willingly hand it over to others.

"That's true, but I think we would have been fine as long as we are mindful of our safety and fire procedures." Lin Yi said with a chuckle

"You can't be sure of that. It's such a big warehouse, and it is filled with Cisco's products. Who can guarantee that it'll be safe?" Lin Yi said with a chuckle.

"Uh…"

Wang Ran had a bad feeling that something might really happen to the warehouse one day.

"Alright, you can continue to stay here. Keep me posted."

"Got it, Teacher Lin."

Lin Yi took the 200,000 yuan check and left happily after scamming Cao Xiangyu.

Although he had a huge amount of money in his hands, Lin Yi still felt a deep sense of loneliness the moment he left the company. It was as if he had been abandoned by the world.

There wasn't a single car on the road, and he couldn't even get a f*Cking taxi.

Lin Yi preferred to take a taxi compared to taking Didi.

He could get in just by waving his hand, and he could get out as soon as he arrived at the destination. He didn't have to bother with reviews either, so it was all very convenient.

Lin Yi walked forward and arrived at the entrance of Cisco's factory, only to find that Cao Xiangyu's car was gone as well.

This was a bit difficult.

At that moment, Lin Yi saw a black car coming from afar. It was a new Audi A6.

Lin Yi waved his hand and the Audi A6 stopped.

The window rolled down and Lin Yi saw a female driver sitting in the driver's seat. Her looks and figure were stunning.

The woman was wearing a white uniform. She had long black hair and the hair was slightly wavy. She looked mature and sexy, but she still maintained her composure and aura.

Lin Yi could tell at first glance that this woman wasn't simple.

"Beauty, can you give me a lift?"

"You want a lift?"The female driver frowned. She didn't think that the man in front of her would make such a request.

"There's no way I can go back without a taxi. Don't worry, I'll pay for it. But judging from your outfit, you don't lack money, so I'm a bit embarrassed right now."

Chapter 350

"I didn't mind giving you a ride, but your cutesy act instantly gave me a bad impression of you," the woman in sunglasses said.

"Can't you just drive with your eyes closed?"

The woman in sunglasses glanced at Lin Yi with a smile on her face.

"Where are you going?"

"Downtown is fine."

Lin Yi got into the passenger seat. The woman in sunglasses didn't say anything, but she didn't start the car either. Instead, she simply parked across the road from Cisco.

"Why aren't you going?"

"I want to take a look around here. Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"What's there to look at in this godforsaken place?" Lin Yi looked at the woman in sunglasses. "Are you here to invest in them? That doesn't seem like the case."

"Why not?" The woman asked with interest.

"Who would come to invest whilst driving an A6? It's not pretentious enough at all."

"Aren't I allowed to keep a low profile?" The woman asked with a smile.

"You don't understand," Lin Yi said,

"If you really came here to invest, they'll think you're an idiot. In the end, both parties won't be able to come to an agreement. If you really want to be successful, you should wear Hermes. That's the way to do it."

"Are you giving me pointers?"

"Seeing that you're so kind to give me a ride, I won't charge you the consultation fees."

"Regardless, I'm the one currently driving an Audi. Isn't it weird for you to give me pointers as the one hitching a free ride?"

"Don't say that. The river flows east for thirty years, and the river flows west for thirty years. In truth, I'm also a rich person. I have a mansion and countless sports cars. You're making me very sad by assuming this of me."

"You have a mansion and countless sports cars, but you still want to get a free ride in other people's cars?"

"That's because I'm even more low-key than you."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." The woman in sunglasses smiled. "You should save your flowery words for those girls who are only just starting to find romance."

"You make me sound like a scumbag when you say that. Does being handsome make me a scumbag? You are going too far."

"It's a pity not to be a scumbag when you're so handsome. Unfortunately for you, we have certain laws protecting women's rights. It's going to be a cold winter for scumbags like you."

'What the f*ck!'

Lin Yi cursed in his heart. I haven't even started hitting on you yet, and you are mentioning the law.

I haven't even launched my attack yet and you've already put up your walls.

"What are you doing here?" The woman in sunglasses asked. 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"I'm an investor," Lin Yi said casually.

"You don't look like an investor."

"Why?"

"You don't even have a car, and you don't know how to act like an investor. Who would want to talk to you?"

"Hehehe…"

"You're already using what you've just learned."

"Seems like it." The woman in sunglasses combed her hair. "Are you here to apply for a job?"

"Yeah, I'm here to look around."

Lin Yi had a feeling that this woman wasn't simple, so he didn't reveal his identity.

"Which factories did you go to?"

"Cisco and Sci-Tech."

"You went to Sci-Tech?" The woman in sunglasses asked, her interest piqued.

"Sci-Tech's done. Their assembly line was passed to Cisco, and the warehouse was also just handed over to them. Apart from the canteen and toilet, there's nothing left of them."

"What are Sci-Tech's people doing? Isn't that the same as handing over your factory to someone else?"

"Who knows? I'm just a scumbag, and I don't care about such things." Lin Yi said, shrugging.

"Then, what did you see? Tell me."

"I still think that Sci-Tech's director is better than Cisco's, even though the company has been messed up like this." Lin Yi said.

"Why? Based on what?"

"The secretary of the Director of the company is very beautiful. She seems to be a university student, all pure and innocent. On the other hand, Cisco's secretary is different. She's like a young lady flaunting her body in the bathing center. It's obvious who's better." Lin Yi said.

The woman in sunglasses rubbed her temples.

She thought that since he was from the industrial area, he would understand the situation here.

She didn't expect him to be a common youth. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have picked him up.

Even so, it wasn't like she didn't get anything. She at least learned a bit about the current situation of the company, so she reluctantly gave him a ride.

After stopping at the industrial park for a while, the woman in sunglasses stopped looking around and drove away.

"Where exactly are you heading?"

"You don't need to go anywhere specifically for me. I'll just find a place where I can get a taxi," Lin Yi said. "Or I can just follow you to your destination, and then I'll get a taxi from there."

"Don't worry. You're already in my car, so it's not a problem for me."

"Take me to the newspaper building then."

Lin Yi's car was still a few dozen meters away from the building. Thankfully, there was one well-known building nearby, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to get to it.

"I know where that is."

Lin Yi gave Wang Ran a few more instructions along the way, mainly to keep an eye on Cao Xiangyu.

The main idea didn't change much. If the other party did anything wrong, Lin Yi would just attack him directly.

He also told Wang Ran to be mindful of the canteen and the toilet. Those would be of great use to Lin Yi in the future.

Lin Yi received a call from Ji Qingyan after telling Wang Ran his plans.

The call wasn't very significant. She just asked him what he was doing, if he was tired, if he had eaten, and then she hung up.

Sugar also called him at this time to invite him to play blackjack together, but Lin Yi rejected her without hesitation.

The woman in sunglasses smiled when she saw Lin Yi calling and chatting on WeChat all the way.

This man's methods were quite good.

"What do you do?" The woman in sunglasses asked.

"I drive for Didi to earn some cold, hard money."

"That's not bad. At least you are self-reliant. In comparison, it's better than working here," the woman in sunglasses said.

"It's too tiring to keep driving for Didi. A factory job is more comfortable, and you don't need to use your brain. When you're free, you can even hook up with the director's secretary. Life here would be too good."

"Everyone has the right to choose their own paths. What you're doing isn't wrong."

"Exactly," Lin Yi said with a smile. "Life is meant to be enjoyed."

The woman in sunglasses nodded and smiled without saying anything.

After driving for a while, she pointed at the building in front.

"We're here."

"Can you drive a little further? There's a big crowd in front.".

The woman in sunglasses looked forward and saw a red sports car parked on the side of the road. It was very eye-catching.

The people standing nearby were also looking at the car.

"That car seems to be a Lykan Super 7."

"Yeah, it's a Lykan."

"Are you going to look at it too?"

"Look at it?"

Lin Yi paused. "Yeah you can say that."

The woman in sunglasses drove over and stopped behind the Lykan.

"That's normal. Even a woman like me would like a car like this, let alone a man like you."

"If you like it, you can just get in. It's not a big deal."

"Are you going to break into it? Don't forget we have laws which will punish you for doing so."

Lin Yi took out the Lykan car keys. "The car is mine. The law won't bat an eye at this."

Chapter 351

The woman in sunglasses froze when she saw the shiny Lykan car keys.

She felt like the scene before her wasn't real.

Lin Yi pressed the car keys and opened the scissors door, proving that what he said was true. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

"Do you want to come? I'll take you for a ride."

"You… Aren't you a Didi driver?"

Even though the woman in sunglasses was used to the finer things in life, it was hard for her to accept the fact that Lin Yi was the owner of the car over such a short period of time.

"Yeah, I use this Lykan to drive for Didi. I guess I really am self-reliant."

"I should have just kept my mouth shut."

"It's life. If you have nothing else to say, you can just spread your legs and enjoy it in silence." Lin Yi waved the car keys. "Do you want to get in?"

"I don't get paid for doing nothing. I can't afford to sit in this kind of car."

"Just place the order. I'm still a Didi driver."

"I said I don't get paid for nothing, but didn't even say anything polite in response. You're not a gentleman at all."

"I'm rich and handsome. What's the point of being a gentleman? No matter how I act, clothes are still going to end up being taken off."

The woman in sunglasses laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth. This man was really unconventional.

"I'll just be delaying you from driving for Didi. I still have work to do in the afternoon, so I'll see you later if fate permits."

Lin Yi got out of the car and got into his Lykan under the envious gazes of the crowd.

In the rearview mirror, the woman in sunglasses watched Lin Yi leave, a question suddenly popping into her mind.

What was he doing in Xiangyang Industrial Area by himself without even driving?

…

Cao Xiangyu parked his car in the parking area of the Cisco Building and walked into the building in high spirits.

The people moving about all greeted Cisco's crown prince one after another.

"President Cao is here."

Liu Chu, dressed in casual clothes, greeted Cao Xiangyu.

Although Cao Xiangyu was in charge of the business in the factory area, he held the position of vice president in the company. Even so, he didn't have much real power.

"Hey, isn't that President Liu? I haven't seen him for a long time. Is the research institute still busy?"

Seeing Liu Chu, Cao Xiangyu became much more enthusiastic.

He was the president of the research institute and the developer of the chip 1.0 technology. It could be said that he was the biggest contributor to Cisco's current situation.

He was also the person Cao Xiangyuwould focus on in the future!

"We are constantly making strides with the chip 1.0 technology. We are striving to widen the gap between us and our competitors and gain a firm foothold in the industry."

"Cisco is really lucky to have an employee like Director Liu," Cao Xiangyu praised:

"Do you have time nowadays? I heard that there is a fishing village near Zhong Hai. The food is pretty good there. Do you have time to visit it?"

"That's great. I will definitely be there since President Cao has invited me."

"It's settled then. I will call you after I finish organizing the work at hand."

"Okay."

After chatting for a while, Cao Xiangyu got on the elevator and went to the president's office.

"Dad, I have some good news to tell…"

He pushed the door open and stopped talking abruptly.

This was because Cao Jingqiu was also sitting on the sofa.

Cao Jingqiu was dressed in a slightly fierce manner. She wore black baggy pants with a white sling and a printed chiffon shawl.

If she went to a bar in this dress, people would not even have the desire to hit on her.

"Jingqiu is here," Cao Xiangyu said with a smile. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? We could have come over together."

"The factory is so busy nowadays. How could I dare to bother you?"

"You are my sister. How can you call it a bother if you come to look for me?" Cao Xiangyu patted his chest and said.

"In the future, if you have anything to do at the company, just call me. I'll send you over. Ever since we started working, we've stopped spending time together as siblings. We can't let our family relationship deteriorate because of work."

"Thank you, Brother."

"You're welcome." Cao Xiangyu said with a smile.

Even so, he kept pondering a question in his heart. Was it his father who asked her to come here, or did she come on her own initiative?

If it was the latter, then it wouldn't be a big problem.

However, if her father had invited her to come here, then things wouldn't be good. Was he going to entrust her with greater responsibility?

If so, then what about himself?

It seemed that he had come at the right time today. If he had waited for a few more days, then it might have been too late.

"Xiangyu, you didn't finish your sentence earlier. Do you have good news to share? Say it now," Cao Jiadong said with a smile.

"Dad, it's like this," Cao Xiangyu said impatiently.

"Now, I have complete control over the production line at Sci-Tech."

"Really?" Cao Jiadong was surprised. "Didn't they send someone over to manage their operations?"

"They sent someone over initially, but I kicked them out due to various reasons. I also roped in some technical talents to support us," Cao Xiangyu patted his chest and said.

"It can be said that Cisco's production pipeline now belongs to the Cao family. As long as I say the word, they will do as I ask!"

"This is really good news. You did a good job," Cao Jiadong said with satisfaction.

"Dad, don't be so happy yet. I have more good news to tell you."

"What is it? Tell me slowly." Cao Jiadong lit a cigarette and listened with interest.

Seeing her father's expression, Cao Jingqiu frowned slightly but did not say anything.

"Not only did I seizeSci-Tech's assembly line, but their warehouse is now also under my control. All of it is being managed by our people. They are not allowed to interfere."

"Really? Are Sci-Tech's people that generous?"

"This matter was indeed very difficult to navigate. I fought with them for a long time and used many methods to gain control over their warehouse." Cao Xiangyu sighed. "After working for so many days, I can finally have a good sleep tonight."

"Now, the assembly line and the warehouse are all under our control. If they want to take on other contract manufacturing projects, they'll have to rely on us," Cao Jiadong said.

"That's right. At that time, I also had the same idea. That's why I worked day and night on this matter. Now, I am finally seeing the results," Cao Xiangyu said.

"The most important thing is that the other party was too shrewd. Fortunately, I had made sufficient preparations for this. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to handle this matter."

"You've done well. Continue to work hard."

"Don't worry, Father. I will not only ensure the quality of the tasks that are entrusted to me, but I will also exceed expectations. I will definitely not let you down."

Cao Jiadong nodded his head in satisfaction. "It's been hard on you during this period. When the project with Didi is completed, you can join the company."

Cao Xiangyu was delighted. He wished he could hug Cao Jiadong and kiss him.

He had come at the right time. Otherwise, his dad might have left for another business trip.

Thinking of this, Cao Xiangyu looked at Cao Jingqiu proudly and cursed in his heart:

"Little b*tch, you think you can compete with me? You're miles away!"

"Who's in charge of Sci-Tech now? Is it that person called Wang Tianlong?" Cao Jingqiu said.

"Why are you asking this? Do you have other concerns regarding this?"

Cao Jingqiu tilted her head. "I don't have any concerns. I just think it's a little strange."

Chapter 352

"What's so strange about that? It all worked out, right?"

Cao Xiangyu said with a cold face.

"Do you know how much effort I put into this matter? Look at my white hair. I really wrecked myself in order to take down Sci-Tech."

Originally, Cao Xiangyu was already filled with hostility toward Cao Jingqiu.

Now, he had just gained the upper hand, and she had already stepped out to criticize him.

How detestable!

Cao Jingqiu's expression was unmoved. "Who is the person who signed the contract with you? How could he do such a stupid thing?"

At this point, Cao Jingqiu did fuss about her reputation anymore.

If there was no problem, then everyone would be happy. However, if there was really a problem, it was very likely that Cisco would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Jingqiu, you just graduated from college and don't know anything about this. Don't get involved," Cao Xiangyu said.

"This is the result of my hard work. It has nothing to do with whether the other party is stupid or not."

Cao Xiangyu didn't reveal Lin Yi's name, and he didn't intend to.

He knew Lin Yi's character. Calling him an idiot would be a compliment.

If the information surrounding Lin Yi was leaked to her, she would definitely contact Lin Yi in secret and sabotage the project, ruining his plans and hindering his advancement.

Therefore, he couldn't let her know everything about Sci-Tech.

Perhaps this was fate. If Cao Xiangyu had revealed Lin Yi's name at this time, Lin Yi's plan might have completely collapsed.

However, because of Cao Xiangyu's greed, the crisis was averted.

They were solid allies.

"Jingqiu, are you worrying too much about this?" Cao Jiadong said.

"We have Sci-Tech's assembly line and warehouse in the palm of our hand. In other words, it's become a second Cisco. How could there be a problem?"

Cao Jingqiu did not say anything. If she was asked to point out what was wrong, she would not be able to do so. She just felt that this matter was too strange.

It was just an OEM contract, and the other party had actually handed over the entire factory.

Even the dumbest person in the world would not do such a thing.

Cao Xiangyu saying that this was the result of his hard work made Cao Jingqiu even more suspicious.

He had always been a person with great ambition but little were probably not many people in this world who he could fool.

On the surface, there didn't seem like there were many issues, but if she really pursued this matter, she would soon spot a lot of flaws.

"Alright, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I'm not on the same side as you guys. You guys can handle it yourselves."

Cao Jingqiu picked up her handbag and stood up. "I'll be leaving first. You guys can chat slowly."

"You girl, why are you still leaving? I still have things to say," Cao Jiadong said.

"Wait until I'm in a good mood. I'll come back and chat with you then."

Opening the office door, Cao Jingqiu left cheerfully and pridefully, leaving the father and son in the office.

However, at this moment, Cao Jingqiu's mind was filled with thoughts of Cisco and Sci-Tech. After all, this was her family's business. Even if she wanted to establish her own business, she could not completely ignore this.

Cao Jingqiu took a deep breath as she got back to her car. She rubbed her temples and muttered to herself,

"Why do I have a family like this?"

…

After a whole afternoon of driving, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group at about 4:30 pm to pick up Qingyan from work. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢

"You're not coming back?"

"Sure, wait for me there. I'll come over now."

It was almost time to get off work, but Lin Yi didn't wait for Ji Qingyan. Instead, he saw Wang Ying rushing out of the elevator.

She looked like she had something urgent to say on the phone.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you going on a date?"

Wang Ying raised her head when she heard someone talking. She realized that it was Lin Yi, and she knew that he was here to pick up Ji Qingyan.

"You're even making fun of me." Wang Ying said with a smile:

"I have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. Call me if you need anything."

"What are you in such a hurry for? Why didn't you see me even after I parked my car here?"

"I'm just in a hurry. I didn't even look around. Why are you picking on me?"

"What's making you so anxious?"

"It's not a big deal. I can handle it myself. You don't have to worry about it. Wait here for President Ji. I won't talk to you anymore."

"Tell me what's going on first. If it's not a big deal, I won't bother about it."

"It's all because of Lulu. Didn't she say that she wanted to enroll in a training class? Previously, she paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan, and the teacher said that when she signed up, she could pay for the remaining 5,000 yuan. After she signed up, she didn't expect that the 7,000 yuan tuition fee would only be for the beginner class. There were only two classes in total, and each class only lasted for one hour. If she wants access to the rest of the classes, she has to sign up for the advanced class."

"And the price of the advanced class is 87,000. Families like ours can't afford such a fee. Lulu doesn't want to go anymore and wants them to return the deposit. However, the other party said that they wouldn't return it. Lulu and the others negotiated with the other party for an entire afternoon, but there were no results, so I have to go over and take a look."

"What kind of teacher is this? How dare she ask for such a price?"

"I heard that she's a teacher from the Zhonghai Drama Academy."

"A university teacher is capable of such a thing? Isn't this obvious fraud? Lulu and the others should call the police."

"They have already called the police, but they said that this is a civil dispute and that they are only responsible for enforcing the law. They said that they should deal with it on their own."

"This is obviously a case of the teacher taking advantage of them." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I know, right? 7,000 yuan for two hours of classes, and you didn't even say anything beforehand. This teacher was obviously lying."

Lin Yi looked up at Wang Ying. "Then what are you going to do once you get there?"

"I'll keep talking to them. I can't let them take the money without putting up a fight." Wang Ying said

"Do you think reasoning with them will work?"

Wang Ying was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say.

She knew that she might not be able to do much, but she didn't want to trouble Lin Yi.

"I don't mind going with you, but you're here to pick up President Ji. I can't delay your business."

"What business is that supposed to be?" Lin Yi said.

"You lead the way. Let's go and check this teacher out together."

"Are you sure? Won't President Ji be angry?"

"Why would she be angry?"

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Wang Ying got into her BMW, and Lin Yi followed behind. He is called Ji Qingyan.

"I have something to do tonight, so I won't pick you up. You can drive yourself home."

"Are you going to be busy later?"

"Not really, I'll be done in a while."

"Then I'll work overtime at the company. Come and pick me up when you're done," Ji Qingyan said.

"That busy? Do you really need to work overtime?"

"Didn't I tell you before that there's a land tender pending? I'm constantly busy with this matter," Ji Qingyan said. "The tender is happening in less than a month. I have to hurry."

"Just do it slowly. There are so many people in the company. You don't have to do it yourself, right?"

"This project is very important. I don't trust others to do it, so I have to do it myself," Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

"If President Lin stops giving me projects one day, won't I starve to death?"

"I think you're being naughty again."

"Hehe…"

Ji Qingyan laughed. "I want to eat the egg fried rice from the nearby alley. When you come to pick me up, buy me a serving. Oh, and add an omelet."

"One omelet is two yuan. It's such a waste to add it."

Chapter 353

Lin Yi hung up the phone. He didn't know how long they'd be talking for, so he might as well hang up first.

Lin Yi then called Guo Rui.

She was a teacher at the school, and it'd be more appropriate for her to handle this matter.

The two soon arrived at an old neighborhood under Wang Ying's lead.

Wang Lu and her classmates were sitting in front of the shop lot at a loss.

However, Liu Changning, whom they had met before this, wasn't here. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

"Lin Bro, you're here!"

Now that she understood Wang Ying and Lin Yi's relationship, Wang Lu had changed her way of addressing Lin Yi to Lin Bro.

Lin Yi smiled at Wang Lu, Du Yuxuan, and the others. He said, "You say you're an adult every day and want to experience the life of an adult at a nightclub. Why can't you do the same now?"

"Lin Bro, these people are such jerks. We really can't handle them," Wang Lu said with a smile. "We're still flower buds."

"Right, right, right, Uncle. We haven't even gone to college yet. We don't have the ability to handle this," Du Yuxuan said.

Lin Yi looked up and saw the signboard of the store that read 'Deyi Entrance Examination Training School'. However, the door was locked, and no staff could be seen inside.

"Where did they go?"

"They left just now. We didn't stop them."

"Okay, don't worry. I have a friend coming over. She'll take care of it."

"Okay."

If Wang Ying had said this, they wouldn't be so confident.

However, it was different with Lin Yi.

He was someone on the same level as Qin Han, and it wasn't a problem for him to handle such a small matter.

About ten minutes later, a white Mercedes-Benz E-class drove in from outside the residential area.

After parking the car, Guo Rui took off her sunglasses and walked in.

Guo Rui's dressing was as mature and classy as usual. She wore a dark-colored one-piece dress with flesh-colored stockings and high heels, giving off a virtuous and beautiful vibe.

Although she was old, Guo Rui's temperament made Wang Lu and the others feel a deep sense of respect for her.

They stared at her with their eyes wide open.

"Why did you call me here in such a hurry?" Guo Rui asked with a smile.

"This training institution is run by a teacher from your school, and it's suspected to be a scam institution. Shouldn't you deal with it?"

Wang Lu and the others were secretly surprised when they found out Guo Rui's identity.

Brother Lin knew people from the Zhonghai Drama Academy?

This was too impressive.

"Let's talk over there."

Guo Rui took Lin Yi to the side. Although the school forbade teachers from teaching outside, this kind of thing was common in the education world.

If that was really the case, it was better to keep a low profile so as not to ruin the school's reputation.

"Let's keep this a secret for now. I'll see what's going on first." Guo Rui said.

"Over the past few years, the school has been strict about giving classes outside of the school. They've already expelled a few faculty members over this. Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be happening."

"Could it be an imposter?"

"It's possible," Guo Rui said. "But we'll have to see what's going on before we can be certain."

"Then this issue is even more interesting than I expected."

"What are you guys doing!"

Just as Lin Yi was preparing his next move, he heard someone yelling.

"Lin Bro, she's the one who cheated us out of our money!"

Lin Yi looked up and saw a middle-aged woman walking over from behind.

The woman was wearing a pair of shorts and a pink half-sleeve, and she didn't look like an art teacher at all.

Compared to Guo Rui, they were like heaven and earth.

There were two dark-skinned men beside her, and they looked as if they were related to her.

"This village girl? Is she the one who cheated you out of your money?"

"Yes, yes, that's her," Wang Lu said.

"Her name is Zhang Xuemei. When we signed up, we discussed taking all the courses for the 7,000 yuan in our wallets, but now she says that we can only take two hours of classes. She is obviously cheating us!"

"What's wrong with two hours of classes?" Zhang Xuemei shouted.

"Let me tell you, I'm a lecturer in the performing arts department of Zhonghai Drama Academy. 7,000 yuan for two hours is not considered expensive."

"If you like the price, then join. If you don't like it, then get lost. Do you think we have time to entertain everyone?" The young man scolded.

"Let me tell you, you all signed an agreement. If you want to go to class, then pay the rest of the money. If you don't want to go, then get out of here quickly. Don't disrupt my business."

"We don't want to go to your class. We just want the deposit back!"

"You country bumpkins, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhang Xuemei said.

"We have an agreement. Do you really think I'll refund your deposit just like that?"

Zhang Xuemei dared to make such a big fuss because she knew that Wang Lu and the others were from a small third-tier city. That was the reason why she was so unscrupulous.

Lin Yi looked at Guo Rui. "What do you think we should do about this?"

Guo Rui shrugged. "They've already signed an agreement, so they're protected by the law. Of course, we can't get the money back."

"Looks like you guys have some understanding people here too. I'll cut to the chase then. Hurry up and open the door, don't block the way," Zhang Xuemei said impatiently.

"Don't worry, of course we don't want you to issue a refund, but as colleagues, shouldn't we get to know each other first?"

"Huh? What did you say? Colleagues?"

Guo Rui nodded with a smile. "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Guo Rui, a professor at the Zhonghai Drama Academy. Are you a teacher in the acting department? Let me introduce myself."

"You… you're a professor at the Drama Academy?"

Guo Rui's revelation made Zhang Xuemei's smile instantly disappear. She was so embarrassed that her expression twisted.

"That… that's really quite a coincidence. It's actually a teacher from the same school."

"It's indeed quite a coincidence." Guo Rui smiled and said, "But now, the school forbids teachers and staff from teaching to the public. Don't you know that?"

"This…"

Zhang Xuemei was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

A few local students from small third-tier cities actually found a teacher from the Zhonghai Drama Academy.

Was this normal?

"I already know of your identity. I'll inform the police to deal with it later."

"Miss Guo, it's useless to call the police. We've already done it before," Wang Lu said.

"It's different if I call them. They'll deal with it quickly."

The girls were secretly shocked and envious.

They were brushed off when they called the police, but when Miss Guo called, the matter would be dealt with quickly.

This was the difference in status in a big city.

Lin Yi stood at the side, smiling at Guo Rui.

No wonder she could become a university professor. There weren't many people who could do something like this with a mild temperament.

"You… don't go too far," Zhang Xuemei said. "I've been running a training school for so many years, and I have connections."

"I'm just doing my job," Guo Rui said. "You should be glad that I'm the one handling this. If it were the gentleman next to me, your fate would be even worse."

"I… I don't care who he is. In any case, don't go too far. Be careful, or I'll find someone to deal with you!"

Guo Rui pointed at the Lykan behind her.

"Is your so-called network worth as much as that 60-million-yuan sports car?"

"What… What did you say? That sports car is yours?!"

"Of course."

Zhang Xuemei collapsed to the ground and cried.

However, it didn't affect the final result.

After the police arrived, Guo Rui revealed her identity and Zhang Xuemei and the other two were taken away.

The deposit that everyone had paid was also returned on the spot.

This made Wang Lu and the others realize the strength of the upper class once again.

An ordinary boss's surname couldn't be compared to this.

Chapter 354

"Thank you for your help, Professor Guo," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Don't be sarcastic," Guo Rui said.

"With your ability, you could handle this matter in under a minute. I'm just wasting my time."

"There's something else I want to talk to you about," Lin Yi said, looking at Wang Lu.

"They're all seniors, and they want to apply to your school after the college entrance exam. Can you think of a way to help them?" Lin Yi asked.

"Since you've asked me about this, I have to give you some face." Guo Rui said.

The girls were excited. If Teacher Guo had said it like that, then they would definitely have a chance!

After all, she was a professor at the school!

Then again, Brother Lin was able to get Teacher Guo to say something like that. Wasn't that even more impressive?

"I have a friend who runs a training school. She is pretty good. I'll introduce them to her," Guo Rui said.

"After your grades come out, if you're not confident in your grades, you can apply to my Quyi Academy. When the time comes, I'll help you guys switch your department. Your first priority should be to enter the school. From there, the rest will be easy to handle."

"Really? You can just randomly switch departments after you enter?"

"Others can't, but with your Brother Lin's reputation, such matters won't be a problem."

"Brother Lin is awesome!"

"We love you!"

"Autograph please, autograph please!"

"Be careful, your future teacher is here."

"Hehe…"

"I have to go pick up my kids. Give them my phone number later. Just tell them to contact me for the follow-up. You don't have to worry about it."

"Okay."

Seeing Guo Rui leave, Wang Lu silently said 'Brother Lin is awesome' a hundred times in her heart.

He could even take down a young woman with a child!

Amazing!

"Sister, I just realized that Lin Bro seems to have a special relationship with Teacher Guo," Wang Lu said quietly.

"So what if it's special? What's the big deal?" Wang Ying didn't care.

"I agree. Lin Bro is so outstanding, it's normal for him to have more women."

Lin Yi then left Guo Rui's phone number and chatted with Wang Ying for a while before driving to the alley on Zhongxuan Road to buy egg fried rice for Ji Qingyan.

"Uncle Kong, two egg fried rice, make them high quality and add two fried eggs," Lin Yi said.

"Brother Yi."

Kong Jing, who was cleaning the table, ran over when she saw Lin Yi. "You haven't visited for a long time."

"I've been busy with work recently, so I couldn't come over. The college entrance exam is over, right? Have the results come out yet?"

"The results haven't come out yet, but I estimate that I scored 680. Teacher Gu said that I should be able to get into Tsinghua and Yan universities, but I still want to go to Fudan to study medicine, since it's close to home."

"680 isn't bad. As for which university to go to, you can decide for yourself. After all, you still have to walk your own path in the future."

"Yes, yes, Brother Lin, you're the best. My parents only want me to apply to Tsinghua and Yan University, but I don't even want to go."

"Uncle Kong, Aunt Liu, you guys are old thinkers. Fudan isn't bad either, and some courses they offer are even better than those in Tsinghua and Yan University." Lin Yi persuaded me.

"Alright, I'll listen to you," Kong Jing's mother said. "We haven't studied before, so we don't know anything. I'll have to trouble you to give us some advice."

"No problem."

Lin Yi patted Kong Jing's head. "Let me know when the acceptance letter comes."

"Yes, yes, I understand, Brother Yi."

After chatting with the family of three for a while, Lin Yi took two plates of egg fried rice and went to the Chaoyang group to look for Ji Qingyan.

Ji Qingyan was overjoyed when she saw that Lin Yi had added two extra fried eggs to the egg fried rice he had bought for her.

"Lin Yi, you're so nice. I only asked you to add one egg, but you added two. Not bad, not bad."

Lin Yi was speechless. "One of them is mine. You get the other one."

…

In the next twenty days or so, apart from driving for Didi, Lin Yi spent most of his time thinking about how to trick Cao Xiangyu.

The results were impressive, and it was very effective.

However, something happened that made his heart skip a beat.

He spotted Cao Jingqiu when he was explaining things to Wang Ran.

She didn't notice him, but Lin Yi noticed that Cao Jingqiu was getting involved with Cisco.

Lin Yi didn't know how much authority she had at Cisco.

Despite this, from Cao Xiangyu's actions, Lin Yi could see that he had no chance of even competing against Cao Jinqiu.

Cao Xiangyu, that idiot, had already started his attack.

Not only did he increase the number of patrols around the factory, he even added dozens of surveillance cameras. If nothing else, he was probably guarding the place against Cao Jingqiu.

From this point, Lin Yi could see that Cao Xiangyu's guard against Cao Jingqiu had reached an extreme level.

Lin Yi even suspected that this idiot Cao Xiangyu would one day kill his sister to prove himself.

After lunch at the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Yi picked up his phone and called Cao Xiangyu.

"Brother Cao, how are you managing the factory? My secretary reports to me every day. There's a woman who goes to the factory every day and spouts nonsense. Everything we develop is confidential. What if someone plagiarizes our goods?"

Lin Yi didn't mention his name. Although Cao Xiangyu was a bit stupid, he immediately knew who he was talking about.

"Brother Lin, I know about this. Don't worry, I've already figured out a solution. Only those with work permits can enter the factory freely in the future. Otherwise, I won't let even a fly enter."

"I trustBrother Cao's methods. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to support such a big factory. I'm just telling this to you in passing to avoid any future problems."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lin. I'll treat you to a meal after I've settled this matter."

"No problem, I'll leave this to you then."

Lin Yi called He Yuanyuan after he hung up on Cao Xiangyu.

"Boss, what's up?"

"I need you to get us a hotel room."

"Lin Yi, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi paused for a moment when he heard the voice. Wasn't that Ji Qingyan's voice?

"You're at Chaoyang Group?"

"Of course, I'm here to ask my seniors something. I didn't expect you to ask me to get us a room. What a jerk."

"Everyone in the world has the right to call me a jerk, but you don't. Don't pretend to be a pure and beautiful girl."

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, I quit."

"Alright, stop bickering every time you two meet." Ji Qingyan interrupted.

"This is the first time I've seen the boss and his employees bicker to this extent. You two are really something."

"If it wasn't for the five million annual salary, I would have definitely quit."

"I'll give you an additional one million year-end bonus at the end of the year." Lin Yi said.

"The boss is a good person, and I pray that the boss has a safe life. If you have any new tasks, just assign them to me. I'll make sure to complete them with quality and speed, and I will do them wholeheartedly."

Ji Qingyan, "…"

Hi Yuanyuan, you're such a disgrace to Yan University!

"Have you heard anything about Fenglan Culture recently?" 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝒎

"It's just a small company we invested in. I don't have the time to care so much about them."

"Find time to arrange some jobs for them. In short, the more the better. Just don't let them stay idle."

"Boss, do you have any new tricks up your sleeve?"

"This is a normal business technique. It's not a trick. This is an insult to my character."

"Hehehe…" Yuanyuan sneered. "You don't even have a character to speak of in the first place. What is there to insult?"

"Your year-end bonus is now 2 million yuan."

"Boss, you have a noble character and are extremely moral. You are a great person who has escaped the pursuit of low-class interests."

Chapter 355

"In view of your excellent performance, I've decided to withdraw my original intention to send you to Africa," Lin Yi said.

"I've already told you what I need to tell you. I'll give you the reward for completing the task I gave you before this. In short, don't let her be idle."

"No problem. I'm the best at torturing people. Just leave it to me."

Lin Yi hung up the phone after giving his orders. He felt like everything was going well.

He had Cao Xiangyu guarding against Cao Jingqiu at the Sci-Tech factory.

Yuanyuan was torturing her at Fenglan Culture.

Hehehe…

His heart ached for Cao Jingqiu for a second.

Leaning back in his chair, Lin Yi felt that he shouldn't have anything to worry about in the near future.

He had his spies everywhere, and Cao Jingqiu wasn't able to cause any damage for the time being.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi pulled up the system page.

He'd driven more than 3,000 kilometers in half a month, and added to the mileage from before, he'd driven a total of 4,789 kilometers.

If he drove as fast as he could, he'd be able to complete the mission in a day, or at most, two days.

Lin Yi rubbed his palms together at the thought of being a doctor.

His nurses were coming!

Ring, ring, ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang at that moment.

Lin Yi's heartbeat sped up when he saw the number on the screen.

He'd waited so long for this day to arrive!

Director Shen was finally coming back!

"You must have gotten anxious from waiting."

He'd just picked up the phone when he heard Shen Tianzhuo say with a smile.

"No rush, no rush. Good things take time."

"I've been talking to the team about this for the past few days. Fortunately, everything is settled. We've already booked the plane tickets and will be arriving at Zhonghai around 1 pm tomorrow."

"How many people will be coming back this time?" Lin Yi asked.

"Including me, there are a total of 12 people in the team, but some of them have brought their families and children with them. They also have plans to settle down in Huaxia in the future, which makes for a total of 22 people."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow." Lin Yi said.

"Okay, see you at the airport tomorrow." Shen Tianzhuo said.

He'd just returned to the country, so he didn't know much about the situation here. Therefore, he still needed time to find his bearings.

Lin Yi hung up the phone and prepared to carry out some of his previous plans.

He could ignore the others, but he had to arrange a house and a car for Director Shen.

It was a pity that Chaoyang Group didn't develop any villas, as now the profits from this purchase will have to go to outsiders.

He looked around online and soon decided to drive to the Longjing Villa residential area.

The Longjing Villa was a relatively high-end villa area in Zhonghai.

It was a grade higher than Yunshui Villas, but it was still inferior to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

After all, the title of the number one luxury property in Zhonghai belonged to the latter for a reason.

After parking the car, Lin Yi walked into the sales office.

"Oh my God, look, that little brother is so handsome!"

"He looks like a celebrity! Bah bah bah, even a celebrity isn't as handsome as him!"

"Right, right, right, even a celebrity isn't as handsome as him! I'm in love with him."

Seeing Lin Yi come in, the salesgirls all revealed their infatuated expressions. Even the middle-aged lady in her thirties fell in love with Lin Yi's looks.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you guys okay? Why is it that when a handsome guy walks in here, you all lose the ability to stand straight?"

The men looked at the girls around them with disdain.

"He's just handsome, what's the big deal?"

"Wang Shengtao, I think you're jealous of him," a long-haired saleswoman said. "Besides, you know damn well that being handsome is a pretty big deal."

"There's really no helping shallow people like you" Wang Shengtao said,

"Usually, people like him act like they are king of their own seas, and they are all scum."

"Based on his looks alone, we are willing to be fish in his pond, regardless of how big a scumbag he is!"

Wang Shengtao was speechless. "You guys are hopeless."

"Alright, Old Wang, the clients are here. It's your turn to receive them."

Usually, some sales offices had a strict reception system.

The main reason for this was to ensure that the order they received from clients was fair. Otherwise, if all the clients were received by one person, it would eventually lead to a fight.

"I'm not going. Whoever wants to receive him can go," Wang Shengtao said disdainfully. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

"Have you forgotten what the manager said? Everyone is a potential client. What if he is here to buy a house? Don't you want the commission?" The male colleague beside Wang Shengtao said.

"Look at him, he's not here to buy a house. Even if I go and talk to him, it'll be a waste of time."

"Shengtao, if you're not going, I'm going," the long-haired woman said.

"Qianqian, I'm warning you in advance, don't get your hopes up. It's not worth it to waste your time."

"I can't talk with people like you who hate handsome people. You're just too jealous."

After that, Feng Qianqian tidied up her clothes and walked toward Lin Yi,

"Sir, are you looking to buy a house?"

"I'm planning to."

"Our Longjing Garden units are all high-end properties. Although the price is a little more expensive than other buildings, I can assure you that the money will be well spent."

Lin Yi looked at the sand table and said shyly, "I think I came to the wrong place."

"What did I say? After learning the price of properties in our residential area, he said that he came to the wrong place. It's obvious that he can't afford it."

"Old Wang, you have a good eye. You can tell that he has no money at a glance."

"More than 99% of people with good looks like them don't have the spirit to work hard. Most of them have to rely on their girlfriends to support them. That's why I'm sure that he can't afford our house. Even if we went to receive him, it would be a waste of time. I don't know what Qianqian is thinking. Can a handsome face put food on the table?"

Lin Yi glanced at Wang Shengtao but ignored him.

"Sir, don't bother with them. If you think our houses are expensive, I can recommend a few small units to you. There's also a corresponding discount. It's a good deal."

"I don't think your house is expensive, you just don't have the units I want."

Pfftt!

Wang Shengtao and his male colleagues couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"He's too good at bragging. The houses in our Longjing Garden are well-known for their complete layout. They are large enough to fit anything you could possibly want, yet he actually said that we don't have the layout that he wants. What a joke."

"He's just looking for an excuse to cover up his embarrassment. It's too embarrassing to say that he can't afford it."

"You're right. The people who came to look at the houses before also used this kind of excuse."

"We can't help it. Our houses are too high-end. Those who can afford to buy a house here are all high-end white-collar workers in Zhonghai. A gigolo like him would never be able to afford it."

Seeing that her male colleagues were attacking Lin Yi, Feng Qianqian tried to help,

"Sir, you don't have to pay attention to them. Even if there isn't a house type that you like, it's okay if you want to look around. It's okay if you don't want to buy it."

"I remember that you sell villas here. Why aren't their miniature models being displayed here?"

Chapter 356

Feng Qianqian and the others were taken aback. No one expected Lin Yi to say something like that.

"Sir, what did you say? You want to buy a villa?"

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded. "I remember you guys developed villas, but all I can see are flats. Sorry, this is not quite what I was looking for. I must have remembered incorrectly, I'm really sorry."

"Haha…"

Not only did Wang Shengtao and his male colleagues laugh, but everyone else in the sales department also laughed mockingly.

"This guy is too interesting. He can't even afford a flat, yet he says that he's here to look at villas. Isn't this a joke?"

"He's too prideful. The sales department's consultant already gave him a way out. If it were me, I'd just leave, but he still tried to dig up such an excuse. I really don't know what he's thinking."

At that moment, Wang Shengtao walked over with a smile.

"Sir, I wouldn't have said anything if you left just now, but I need to talk to you about buying a villa."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wang Shengtao. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"You're not wrong. We do have villas in Longjing Garden, but they're all sold on the second floor. Didn't you want to buy a villa? If you do, I'll take you up there to take a look." Wang Shengtao said with a smile.

"Haha…"

The men started laughing. This was going to be interesting. They could not wait to see how this ended.

"Then let's go. Take me there to take a look," Lin Yi said to Feng Qianqian.

Feng Qianqian frowned slightly, not knowing what to do.

The cheapest houses in the house were all worth more than 200 million. It would be a waste for her to bring him there to show them to him.

She didn't mind wasting some time on Lin Yi, but if she did bring him up, it'd be exactly what Wang Shengtao wanted.

What should she do?

She really didn't want him to embarrass himself.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Lin Yi turned to look at Feng Qianqian.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll bring you up now."

Feng Qianqian had no choice but to bring Lin Yi up to the second floor when she saw that Lin Yi was determined to go.

She was thinking about how she could help him out.

She couldn't let him embarrass himself.

Behind Wang Shengtao and Feng Qianqian were the rest of the crowd, who all followed them upstairs.

They had nothing to do anyway, so they decided to go and watch the show. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢

Seeing the decorations on the second floor, the people who came up to watch the show were all amazed.

"The decorations on the second floor are too luxurious."

"Sure enough, the place that sells villas is different from the place that sells flats. They are on two completely different levels."

"As far as I know, the cheapest villa here is more than 200 million yuan. They are all prepared for the rich. Ordinary people like us can only come here to look around."

"I guess this kid didn't expect the houses in Longjing Villa to be so expensive."

"This is the price of bragging. You have to pay for it sooner or later."

Wang Shengtao's lips curled into a smile when he heard the discussion.

"Sir, didn't you want to see the villas? All eight villas in Longjing are here. Which one do you like? I can show them to you."

"I don't need you to show them to me," Lin Yi said as he pointed at Feng Qianqian. "Let her do it."

Feng Qianqian looked bitter as she introduced.

"Sir, we have a total of eight villas in Longjing. The most luxurious one is villa number one, priced at 360,000,000…"

"Alright, there's no need to tell me more."

Wang Shengtao held back his laughter.

"Why don't you need to hear any more? There are seven more to go. Are you scared of the 360,000,000? Is that why you don't want to hear the rest?"

"No, because I've decided to buy this one."

Lin Yi took out his bank card and handed it to Feng Qianqian.

"The password is 0000000. Go prepare the procedures."

Silence!

The sales office on the second floor was completely silent upon hearing Lin Yi's words. One could hear even a pin drop on the floor.

Feng Qianqian was dumbfounded. She even forgot to take the bank card.

"Sir, what did you say? You want to buy Villa No. 1?"

"I came here to look at villas. Now that I've taken a liking to one, what's so hard to understand?"

"Okay, okay… I'll go swipe your card right now and run through the formalities."

Everyone froze on the spot when they saw Feng Qianqian leave. They felt like they were hallucinating.

He didn't even look at a house worth 360 million yuan before using his card to buy it. Was this for real?

Was he sure that there was so much money on his card?

After about 20 minutes, Feng Qianqian walked out with the receipt and bank card.

There were several contracts in her hands.

At the same time, there was a middle-aged woman beside Feng Qianqian.

"Hello, Sir. I'm the sales manager of Longjing Garden. Congratulations on buying Villa No. 1. I hope you don't mind my not welcoming you."

"It's nothing. It's not a big deal. There's no need to apologize."

The female manager revealed the most gentle smile in her life.

"Sir, please keep the card. The contract has been printed out. You just need to sign it."

Hiss…

Hearing this, everyone present found it hard to believe.

She had even prepared the contract, which meant that the payment was successful!

F*ck!

This was a house worth 360 million. Wasn't it a bit too extravagant to buy it just like that?

One even had to pick up a cabbage and feel it without buying it.

Seeing Lin Yi buy a house worth more than 300 million, the women's eyes became even more unbridled.

They wouldn't be able to stop themselves even if their husbands were by their side.

Lin Yi took a pen and signed his name on the contract.

At this point, the house was his property.

However, when Director Shen came back, he had to transfer the house to his name to show his sincerity.

"Wang Shengtao, now you see it. Mr. Lin is not only handsome, but also rich. Even if you work hard for 100 lifetimes, you can't compare to him."

"Just now you mocked Mr. Lin for being poor. I don't know who gave you the courage to do this."

"You guys are just plain jealous!"

Wang Shengtao was so embarrassed that he could not speak. He regretted it so much that he wanted to die.

Why did he have to act pretentious and mock him?

Lin Yi was handsome and rich. He was not worthy!

If he had not mocked him just now, this business deal would have been his. He would have been able to get a commission worth hundreds of thousands!

Now, it is all gone!

"Wang Shengtao, you mocked Mr. Lin just now!" The female manager said, "I don't think you want to work here anymore!"

"Manager Ma, I… I know I was wrong. Please give me one more chance. I won't do it again."

"There are no more chances. Pack up and leave!"

"This…"

Wang Shengtao walked away helplessly.

He didn't blame Lin Yi, but he hated himself for trying to act cool.

Lin Yi smiled. What was the point of this whole face? Then, he thought to himself,

'I've finished buying the house, so now it's time to buy the car.'

Chapter 357

Lin Yi took the contract and left under the watchful eyes of countless people.

When they saw the red Lykan, he showed them how big the gap between the rich and ordinary people was.

300 million yuan house, 60 million yuan car.

It was very possible that ordinary people would never be able to reach this height in their entire lives.

On the way back, Lin Yi thought about it. There were 22 people returning to the country this time, so a lot of things had to be arranged in advance.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi called Lu Ying.

He told her about Shen Tianzhuo's return in detail.

This was going to be a huge project, and Lu Ying had to prepare in advance.

Besides that, Lin Yi was afraid that Lu Ying would be too busy, so he sent Wang Ran over.

He arranged for her to stay at the Peninsula Hotel for the time being. He could take his time with the rest.

After this, Lin Yi followed the GPS and drove to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

However, at that moment, Lin Yi's phone rang.

"You have a new order, from the Mercedes-Benz 4S store on Liaohe Road to Zhongcai Garden."

"Isn't this the place you want to go?"

Lin Yi accepted the order and arrived at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store on Liaohai Road a few minutes later.

There was a young man and woman standing in front of the 4S store.

The man was wearing shorts and a half-sleeve shirt, and the woman was wearing a long dress with a bag in her hand. She looked like a beautiful young lady.

"Honey, look, a sports car is coming!" The woman pointed at Lin Yi's Lykan and said excitedly.

"F*ck, isn't that the Lykan Super 7?" The man said, "There are only seven of these cars in the world, and I think there's only one in all of Huaxia."

"If only I could ride it once," the woman said enviously.

"Don't dream about sports cars. Just obediently ride in the Didi ."

"I saw a news report before. It said that there is a rich second generation who drives a sports car every day and gives rides on Didi. We might be seeing it first-hand today."

"I saw that news report. It must be one of Didi's gimmicks. I can't believe you actually believed it. You are too gullible," the man said disdainfully.

"If he really drives for didi, I'll let you leave in his car."

"You are only saying that because you know he can't possibly be driving for Didi."

"Haha, smart." The man laughed.

Creak.

Lin Yi's Lykan stopped in front of them. "Are you Miss Huang with the tail number 4711?"

Huang Li and her husband were both stunned when they saw the Red Lykan.

"You… how do you know my phone number…"

"I'm the Didi driver you ordered."

"You… you really are the Didi driver!"

Huang Li took a deep breath, feeling that her life was like a drama right now.

It was just a casual remark, and she didn't even take it seriously.

She didn't think that she would be right!

"If I wasn't the Didi driver, I wouldn't know your phone number, right?"

Lin Yi glanced at the two of them. "Are you both looking to get in? If you are, I might have to cancel the order because my car is only a two-seater."

"No, it's fine…"

Huang Li said, "Just give me a ride as my husband will take a taxi."

"That's not nice."

Lin Yi was a little embarrassed. This whole thing made him look like a homewrecker.

"Lili, you're just going to leave me here?" Huang Li's husband was a little unhappy.

"Didn't you say that if this car was our Didi, you'd let me leave in it? Didn't I agree to this? Wasn't I obedient enough?"

Lin Yi, "?"

Why did it sound like she was cheating on him?

"Stop thinking about it. He's one of the drivers for Didi's luxury car business, not the rich kid you think he is."

"That's not possible. He's so handsome, so how could he be a full-time driver? He must have nothing better to do, and that's why he came out to experience life."

"I thought you were gullible before but this is really next level." Huang Li's husband said,

"The rich kid has nothing better to do? Seriously?"

Huang Li curled her lips and cursed in her heart. "What's so impossible about that? Maybe he is one of those young models who got tired of playing around in the club and came out to hook up with a beautiful woman."

"Cough cough cough…"

Lin Yi coughed a few times. "I'm really not a rich second generation."

"Ah?!"

It was Huang Li's turn to be surprised. "You're really not a rich second generation? Are you genuinely one of Didi's contract drivers?"

Lin Yi laughed. "I said I'm not a rich second generation, but that doesn't mean I'm a contract driver."

"Hmm? What do you mean? Who can afford a car worth more than 60 million if not a rich second generation?"

"I'm not a rich second generation, I'm a rich first generation."

"You're a rich first generation!"

Huang Li and her husband were so shocked that they could not close their mouths!

Although a rich second generation was rich in and of itself, the first generation was even much more terrifying by comparison!

"Look, what did I say? I told you he wasn't one of Didi's full-time drivers. Now you should believe me."

Huang Li's husband was already on the verge of tears. Why did he have to be so mean?!

"Hubby, I'm going back in his car first. You can think of a way to head back later."

"Ms. Huang, I have something else to do. I need to buy something. Can you wait a few minutes for me?"

"Okay, I'm fine with that."

At the same time, a few female saleswomen in the 4S shop were so excited that they almost jumped up when they saw Lykan parked outside.

"Forget what I was saying, I want to go out and take a look. It's the first time I've seen such a handsome man."

"Little Chen, weren't you receiving Mr. Wang? He might confirm it when he comes out of the bathroom later. Don't tell me you don't want this deal?"

"It's just a Mercedes-Benz E-class. It's not as important as looking at handsome men," Zhang Yuchen said.

"Mercedes-Benz E-class cars are bought every day, but handsome men at this level are hard to come by even in a hundred years."

Zhang Yuchen's female colleague was delighted. "If you say so, then I'll help you take care of the customer."

"Please, you can go right ahead. It's not a big deal," Zhang Yuchen said indifferently.

"But let's make it clear in advance. If Mr. Wang really does sign for the purchase, then I'll get the commission."

"Of course it'll be yours," Zhang Yuchen said. "I'm going to see a handsome guy."

Her colleague shook her head with a smile as she watched Zhang Yuchen leave.

"You youth. You're giving up your business just to see a handsome guy. The Mercedes-Benz e-class is worth more than 500,000 yuan. If he buys it, the commission will be a few hundred yuan, which is enough for you to buy a lipstick from Poplar Forest. But whatever, your loss is my gain."

Lin Yi was about to get out of the car after talking to Huang Li outside the 4S store. He wanted to settle the matter of buying Shen Tianzhuo's car.

However, the moment he got out of the car, he saw Zhang Yuchen looking at him from not too far away.

"Pretty Girl, you're a salesperson at the 4S store, right?"

Zhang Yuchen was stunned. She'd snuck out to look at a handsome guy, so why was he talking to her?

This… this was way too blissful!

"Y-you're talking to me?"

"I don't think there's anyone else besides you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's right."

Zhang Yuchen's heart was pounding as she nervously walked up to Lin Yi. Why was he getting more and more handsome as he got closer? What kind of god-like beauty was this?! 𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'd like to buy a few cars."

"Ah? You want to buy some cars?"

Zhang Yuchen was confused. She'd only come out to look at the handsome guy and luxury car, so why did business suddenly land at her feet?

Lin Yi nodded and handed over his bank card.

"I'd like to buy a Mercedes Maybach, the best model, and five Mercedes S-class Mercedes-Benz with the best specs, all in black. The password is 0000000, just swipe the card."

Chapter 358

"You… you want to buy a Mercedes-Maybach and some S-classes, all with the top specs?"

Zhang Yuchen felt her heart stop beating.

This was the first time he had seen someone buy a car like this.

"Yes, you heard me right."

The reason why he wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz was that Director Shen's car was a Mercedes E-class during the time he worked at Microsoft. 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

He might as well continue to buy this brand for him.

As for the remaining S-classes, he would give one to Sun Fuyu and Lu Ying each. The remaining three would be passed to the research institute. Whoever needed it would drive it. It would be used for daily use.

"Firstly, Sir, the top-quality Mercedes-Benz Maybach will cost 3.6 million yuan, and the Mercedes-Benz S-classes will cost 1.8 million yuan each. Altogether, the total will be 12.6 million yuan…"

"Ah? 12.6 million yuan?"

"Sir, do you think that the price is a little too high?" Zhang Yuchen asked.

"In truth, I personally feel it's a little too high. I don't think there's a need to buy the top-quality models. The middle-spec model is already pretty good."

"That's not what I meant." Lin Yi waved his hand.

"I remember that the top-quality S-class one is close to 3 million yuan. Why is it selling for 1.8 million now? Did It drop that much?"

"Sir, the three million model you mentioned is the AMG version."

"That's the one. I want five AMG models," Lin Yi said. "I feel like the normal version is a little lacking."

"You… you want five S-class AMG models?!"

Zhang Yuchen felt like she couldn't even speak properly.

It was also the first time she felt the huge gap between the consumption habits of the rich and ordinary people.

The earlier nouveau riche had talked until the cows came home before he bought the E-class, and he even took the opportunity to try to get her WeChat.

On the other hand, look at this man who bought so many cars without even entering the building.

This was a true rich man.

"The price of a top-of-the-line S-class AMG is now 2.86 million, so five sets will be 14.3 million. Including a top-of-the-line Maybach, the total price will be 17.9 million."

Lin Yi nodded. "That's the right price. Go swipe my card and prepare the contract."

"Okay, okay…"

She held Lin Yi's bank card in her hands with trepidation, feeling that everything before her eyes wasn't real.

She walked into the shop and happened to see her colleague and a middle-aged man walking out.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly when he saw her.

"Miss Zhang, I was here to buy a car from you, but you don't seem to be willing to serve me, so I can only tell you regretfully that I've already bought that Mercedes-Benz E-class, but the commission money will not be entering your pocket."

"Little Chen, we had a deal. Although it was you who served Mr. Wang previously, I'm the one who got the sign off for the sales contract. You can't challenge me for the commission money," Zhang Yuchen's colleague said.

"It's just a Mercedes-Benz E-class. What's so great about it?"

"Hehe…" the colleague named Wang smiled. "This is a car worth more than 500,000 yuan. It's considered a good car even in Zhonghai."

Zhang Yuchen's colleague shook his head. This girl Yuchen would regret her decision just now.

Now, it was too late even if she regretted it.

According to the company's rules, whoever signed the contract with the client would get the commission. She couldn't contest this rule.

"It's just an E-class. What's so cool about that?" Zhang Yuchen took Lin Yi's bank card. "Do you see this?"

Both of them were stunned. Zhang Yuchen's colleague asked, "What's up with that card?"

"The handsome guy outside bought a Mercedes-Benz Maybach and five S-class AMGs with a total price of 17.9 million yuan. A Mercedes-Benz E-class with a price of more than 500,000 yuan is less than a fraction of that value. I'm not interested at all."

"What did you say?! The guy outside bought six cars?!"

"That's right. And he didn't waste any time at all. He paid the full price with his credit card, unlike someone who bought an E-class car in installments."

Zhang Yuchen's colleagues were dumbfounded.

According to the 1% commission benefit, a car worth 17.9 million RMB meant she got 179,000 RMB just from the commission alone!

If she hadn't acted, this customer would have been his!

The commission would've been his, too!

It is all gone now!

Meanwhile, the customer looked embarrassed as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and left the Mercedes-Benz 4S store in shame.

Twenty minutes later, Yuchen prepared six car contracts and handed them to Lin Yi for him to sign.

With a wave of the pen, Lin Yi signed his name and said to Yuchen,

"Help me send these six cars to the Zhonghai International Racetrack later. Find a man named Zhou Haitao, he'll be there to receive you, but you have to do it before 10:00 am tomorrow."

"Yes, sir. There's an available car in the garage. We don't need to wait to send it at 10:00 am tomorrow. We can arrange to do it now."

"Alright then, I'll leave the car delivery to you guys."

Lin Yi looked at Huang Li as he held the six car contracts.

"I'm done here. Let's go."

"Okay…"

Huang Li and her husband saw the whole process.

The heroic Lin Yi once again changed their worldview.

Rich people and ordinary people really lived in two different worlds, leading completely different lives.

When he came to the Mercedes-benz 4S store, he could only look at the cheapest car, and he had to take out a loan.

Yet, the other party casually spent more than 17 million on the cars.

On the other hand, he probably wouldn't be able to earn so much money in his lifetime.

Seeing his wife leaving in Lin Yi's car, Huang Li's husband felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

He looked up at the sky and suddenly saw a bright green flash above his head, filling him with vitality.

"Bro, can I add you on WeChat?" Huang Li asked when they reached their destination.

"You can forget about adding me on WeChat. I still have things to do."

"Oh, okay." Huang Li said, not willing to give up just yet.

Lin Yi did some calculations in his mind. After buying a car and a house, everything was settled.

All that was left was to pick up Director Shen when he returned to the country.

Later on, Lin Yi drove to pick up Ji Qingyan from work.

Ring, ring, ring…

Just as he was waiting for Ji Qingyan to come down, Lin Yi received a call from her.

"Are you busy tonight?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"I don't want to go home right now. I want to work overtime at the company. If you're free, can you come over and accompany me?"

"Wait for me upstairs."

"Okay."

When he arrived at Ji Qingyan's office.

They found her concentrating in front of the computer, her slender fingers tapping on the keyboard like she was playing the piano.

There were documents all over the desk. With Ji Qingyan's personality, it was obvious how busy she was to let her desk devolve into this state.

"Find a place to sit. I'm a little busy with work, so I'll leave you alone."

"Go focus on your own stuff."

Lin Yi pushed open the kitchen door. "What do you want to eat? I'll go make it now."

"Egg fried rice will do." Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with delight. "If you can add more scallions and a poached egg, it'll be even more perfect."

"Sure, just wait."

Lin Yi wasn't only preparing food for Ji Qingyan. He was also a little hungry himself, so he prepared a plate of golden egg fried rice to fill his stomach.

Twenty minutes later, two sets of egg fried rice were served.

"Come here and eat first. I'll be busy later."

"I want to eat at my desk." Ji Qingyan said cutely.

"Don't waste your time on other tasks. Eat well during the meal. Don't mess around."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing Lin Yi's egg fried rice, Ji Qingyan, who was already hungry, suddenly felt that she had a huge appetite.

"Lin Yi, you're a genius. Even your egg fried rice tastes so good," Ji Qingyan said with satisfaction.

"Your mouth must be filled with the taste of scallions. Don't kiss me later."

"Why? Do you dislike me? In that case, I'm going to kiss you."

"Well, come on then. There's no one around. Don't restrict yourself."

Chapter 359

Ji Qingyan paused for a moment before realizing that she'd been tricked by Lin Yi again.

"You're such a hooligan, I don't want to kiss you."

Lin Yi smiled as he looked at Ji Qingyan's cute face. He found it interesting as well.

"You've been working overtime both at home and at work lately. What project are you so busy with?"

"It's the plot of land I told you about. In three days, the public tender will be held," Ji Qingyan said.

"There are still some procedures and equipment parameters that haven't been settled, so we have to hurry up."

"These things shouldn't be too big of a problem. The bidding documents for the construction industry are almost as thick as the Xinhua dictionary. No one can do it perfectly. There are bound to be mistakes. It won't be a problem even if we have to make some corrections in the early stages."

"It used to be okay, but not anymore." Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. "There's a new mayor in town, and she's the one who's in charge of this project, so we have to be more serious, or we'll be eliminated."

Lin Yi nodded noncommittally. He understood the logic of a new official coming into power.

Ji Qingyan's seriousness was not without reason.

"Do you know who the competitors are?"

Ji Qingyan shrugged and sighed.

"I only know a few small companies that aren't as big as the Chaoyang Group. I'm confident that I can compete with them, but this project is very big. Not only will companies from Zhonghai participate, even companies from other provinces are interested in this project, so I have to be as perfect as possible. Otherwise, any small flaw could turn into a fatal mistake."

"Do you need me to call him Yuanyuan over?"

"No, no, no. Don't be like that. This is my company's business, so I don't need your help. I still have a computer available. If you have nothing to do, you can entertain yourself. Don't worry about me."

"Then I won't bother with you."

"Okay."

That night, Ji Qingyan was busy until 10 o'clock before the two of them drove home.

The next morning, he drove her to work as usual.

However, they didn't drive a sports car, but a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The sports car only had two seats, so it wasn't convenient to fetch people around.

As for why Lin Yi didn't drive a sports car, Ji Qingyan didn't ask.

There were so many cars, so it was only right that he gave them all a chance.

He couldn't be too biased.

After sending Ji Qingyan to the company, Lin Yi got back into the Rolls-Royce and continued to drive for Didi.

Although he was less than 200 kilometers away from completing the mission, he had a lot of things to do today, so it was unlikely that he would be able to finish the last 200 kilometers.

Sure enough, every ultimate mission would have a small twist at the end.

It wasn't a big problem at all. At most, his mission would be delayed by a few days.

After a few random trips, Lin Yi drove to the Zhonghai International Racetrack.

He heard the roar of the sports car as soon as he entered the gate. It was very lively.

He looked around the circuit and found Qin Han and the others there.

The supercar club they talked about before was quite something.

"What's going on? Isn't the circuit reserved? Why are there outsiders coming in?"

In the stands, a woman with a seductive figure whilst dressed in cool clothes said.

"Could it be a streamer who snuck in? Is he here to secretly take photos of Young Master Qin practicing driving?" A woman wearing suspenders said.

"It's possible. The current Internet celebrity streamers don't have any morals. They are capable of doing anything."

"Brother, how did you get in?" In the stands, a man with dyed yellow hair said.

"I walked in."

"You think I don't know you walked in?"

The yellow-haired man was a little unhappy after being mocked by Lin Yi. "This isn't a place where you can freely enter. We're practicing our driving in the SR Club. Outsiders aren't allowed to visit."

"I'm not really visiting, I was just casually passing by." Lin Yi smiled.

"Besides, this is my territory. Calling me an outsider is a bit too much."

"What did you say? This is your territory?"

The yellow-haired man smiled. "Don't tease me, okay? This show-off has no skill at all."

"Old Lin!"

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard Qin Han's voice.

Even Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan saw Lin Yi.

"Brother Lin."

Seeing Qin Han and the other two walk away, the other members of the club put down what they were doing and looked towards the entrance of the car park.

They were extremely curious about the tall man.

Someone who could make Young Master Qin take the initiative to greet him must have a high status.

"Brother Qin, who's this?"

The yellow-haired man asked in a low voice.

"He's the Lin Yi I told you about. He's my good friend, and the racetrack belongs to him."

Hiss…

The yellow-haired man and the other two women were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

What the f*ck!

This is really your territory!

You came here so low-key, and we couldn't tell at all that you were on the same level as Young Master Qin!

"Old Lin, why are you here? Are your hands itchy?" Qin Han asked. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

"I came to handle something. I saw you guys playing here, so I came to check things out."

"You have so many important things to do every day. Come and race a few laps." Qin Han pointed at the group of people behind him and said.

"These people brag about their skills every day. Come and teach them a lesson."

"I'll do it when I have time." Lin Yi waved his car keys. "I came out with the Phantom today. I'm going to pick someone up later, so I can't dilly-dally."

"What the f*ck? Who's so arrogant that you have to personally welcome them?"

"A super awesome person. The two of us are trash in front of him."

"What?" Qin Han asked suspiciously. "I saw a Maybach and a few S-classes parked in the garage when I got here. You didn't buy them to pick them up, did you?"

The people who weren't familiar with Lin Yi were all speechless.

He bought so many good cars just to pick them up?

They weren't expensive cars, but there were a lot of them. The total would be close to 20 million yuan.

This was way too decadent.

"Smart." Lin Yi smiled.

"Alright, you guys stay here and play. If you need anything, you can just tell Zhou Haitao. I'll come over to race with you guys one day."

"There's something else I really need to tell you." Qin Han said.

"In a few days, the people from the CCS Supercar Club from Yanjing are coming over. I'm not sure if we can beat them. If you're free, come over and support us."

"You just started your club and you're already fighting with others?"

"What do you mean fighting? Those people are too pretentious. They're always yelling at me. How can I let them get away with it?"

"Have you set a date yet?" Lin Yi asked.

"Not yet, but the initial date we're thinking of is for next month. You have to come by then."

"You've already said it, so I have to come."

"Then it's a done deal."

After chatting with Qin Han for a bit, Lin Yi went to look for Zhou Haitao.

In the office, Zhou Haitao stood up to welcome Lin Yi.

"President Lin, you're here."

Lin Yi nodded. "The drivers have been prepared, right?"

"Everything's been arranged. We can leave at any time, and they've even driven for bureau leaders before, so their skills shouldn't be a problem."

"Alright, we'll set off now."

Under Lin Yi's arrangements, the Rolls-Royce took the lead and sped all the way to the Zhonghai Hongqiao Airport.

Just as he entered the terminal, Lin Yi saw a familiar figure.

The woman standing in front was wearing a black cropped shoulder sleeve, dark green slacks, and a Swarovski puzzle bracelet on her wrist. In the sprawling terminal building, she clearly stood out like a shining ray of light.

Although he could only see her back, Lin Yi was sure that the woman standing in front was the owner of the Audi A6 that day!

"Pretty Girl, are you also here to pick someone up?"

Chapter 360

Liang Ruoxu's expression turned cold when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

She turned around and found out that the person who patted her on the shoulder was the owner of the Lykan car that day.

"What are you doing here?"

Liang Ruoxu took off his sunglasses and mask as a show of courtesy.

"I'm here to pick someone up."

"Pick someone up?" Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi. "Are you picking up your girlfriend? What kind of woman is worth you coming all the way here to pick up?"

"Can't I pick up a man?" Lin Yi asked.

"That's possible, but I have a feeling that it's more likely to be a woman."

"Are you the same, picking up your old lover?"

"I don't think any normal words can come from your mouth," Liang Ruoxu said. "I'm here to pick up my friends since they are coming back from abroad."

"That's good. Let's wait together, so I don't get bored." Lin Yi said.

Liang Ruoxu smiled and didn't say anything. She put on his mask and sunglasses again, making her look like an assassin.

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. This woman was cold and aloof, even turning a blind eye to his good looks.

Could she be a cross-dressing boss? However, from the looks of it, she seemed to be a real woman.

Liang Ruoxu furrowed her brows when she felt Lin Yi's slightly invasive gaze. Her face was cold.

"Don't keep looking around, it won't be good for you."

"Hehehe…"

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, occupational disease, occupational disease."

Liang Ruoxu took a step to the side and moved a meter away from Lin Yi.

Although her face was hidden by the mask and sunglasses, there was an indifferent coldness in her eyes.

It made the distance of a meter seem like a hundred meters.

If one didn't know, one wouldn't be able to tell that the two knew each other.

At that moment, the airport's broadcast rang.

"Ding Dong…"

"Flight CU2344 from Washington to Huaxia's Zhonghai has landed. Please prepare to receive the crew."

Lin Yi took a deep breath when he heard the voice on the broadcast.

Director Shen finally came back after waiting for so long.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Yi saw Shen Tianzhuo walking out with twenty people.

The place was filled with people of all races, but most of them were Chinese. 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪𝒅.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Maybe it was because of the long journey, but there was a hint of exhaustion on Shen Tianzhuo's face. At the same time, it was filled with the joy of returning home.

The mood was just as round as in his hometown, and the air was still as sweet as in his hometown.

Lin Yi was just about to step forward when he noticed that Liang Ruoxu was walking towards the VIP entrance as well. This seemed to be quite a coincidence.

"Why are you following me?"

Liang Ruoxu stopped after taking a few steps and turned around to ask.

"I'm going to pick someone up too," Lin Yi said. "If you don't believe me, I'll walk ahead and you can follow me."

Liang Ruoxu didn't say anything else. She felt that she was getting a little sensitive, so she continued walking toward the VIP entrance.

At the same time, she was thinking, 'Do I look like someone that is easy to date?'

Lin Yi stood outside the gate after he walked toward the VIP entrance, waiting for Shen Tianzhuo and the others to come out.

To his surprise, Liang Ruoxu took out a red ID card from her bag and waved it in front of the security staff.

The latter's expression tensed up as she opened the gate and welcomed her in.

Lin Yi, "?"

Who was this girl?

Was she so capable?

At that moment, Liang Ruoxu turned back to look at Lin Yi with a smug smile.

Lin Yi didn't take the provocative smile to heart. After all, picking up SHen Tianzhuo was a serious matter.

However, at that moment, Lin Yi was surprised to find that Shen Tianzhuo was walking toward Liang Ruoxu with a suitcase in his hand!

What the hell was going on?

Was the person she was supposed to pick up also Shen Tianzhuo?

"Mayor Liang, it's an honor for you to come to the airport to welcome me despite your busy schedule." Shen Tianzhuo said politely as he stretched out his hand.

Lin Yi, who was standing outside the gate, was at a loss.

This woman was the mayor?!

You're f*cking kidding me!

Lin Yi thought about it. She didn't think that he was flirting with her, did he?

He wasn't going to be charged with anything, was he?

This was so f*Cking is scary!

"You're too kind, Professor Shen. Your return will have a far-reaching impact on the high-tech industry in Huaxia. It's only right that I come to pick you up," Liang Ruoxu said very politely.

"I'm not that special. As long as there's something I can do for my country, my return won't be meaningless."

There was a hint of mist in Shen Tianzhuo's eyes.

For wanderers, home always held the most special place in the depths of their hearts.

"Professor Shen, you're too modest." Liang Ruoxu smiled.

"I've already prepared a banquet for you and your team. There are too many people here, and it's not a good place to talk."

"I'm afraid I can't make it today. I've already made an appointment with someone. I might not be able to go to your banquet," SHen Tianzhuo said apologetically.

"Someone's coming to pick you up?"

Shen Tianzhuo pointed at Lin Yi outside the gate. "We already made an appointment. He's coming to pick me up."

"It's him?!"

Liang Ruoxu widened his beautiful eyes, disbelief written all over her pretty face.

Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that the cheeky man would have come to pick up Shen Tianzhuo.

Was there some kind of relationship between them?

"Hehehe…"

"I'm really sorry, Director Shen has to come with me today."

An awkward expression appeared on Liang Ruoxu's face.

'He is trying to piss me off, isn't he?'

"Mayor Liang, this isn't the place to talk. Let's head off first."

"Okay."

The group arrived at the underground parking lot after exiting the gate. Two brand new Toyota Coasters were parked there.

"Professor Shen, get in the car first, I'll send you to your destination."

"Beauty, I've already prepared a car, it's parked not far away." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Liang Ruoxu looked up and saw six Mercedes-Benz and even a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked dozens of meters away.

These cars added up to more than 20 million yuan. The rich second generation of a rich family really knew how to put on a show.

Liang Ruoxu combed his hair and smiled self-deprecatingly. "Looks like I didn't need to do this."

"Do you want to come? Shall we have a meal together?" Lin Yi invited her.

"Then I'll do as you say."

Liang Ruoxu accepted Lin Yi's invitation because of Shen Tianzhuo.

Shen Tianzhuo was very important to the development of science and technology in Huaxia.

With his current status, she had to treat him well and show him proper sincerity and a welcoming attitude.

Such was society's respect for a scientist.

After deciding on the next step of the plan, Lin Yi welcomed Shen Tianzhuo, Liang Ruoxu, and his team into the car.

Naturally, Lin Yi was the driver.

"Why do I feel like you two know each other before?" Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile after getting into the car.

"We did meet once," Liang Ruoxu said with a smile. "I just didn't think that Mr. Lin and you would have such a strong relationship."

Shen Tianzhuo looked at Lin Yi. "Didn't you introduce yourself to her?"

Chapter 361

Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi, curious about his identity as well.

Apart from the Rolls-Royce Phantom he owned, the cars that he had arranged to pick up Shen Tianzhuo were pro-license cars, meaning that they were obviously new cars.

Spending more than 20 million on cars just to pick him up wasn't something an ordinary second-generation rich kid could do.

In Huaxia, famous families would definitely be ranked and recognized by the wider community.

However, there were only a few Lin clans in Huaxia, and all of them were lacking in terms of strength.

She could even list down the members of the Lin Family in Yanjing by name, and it didn't seem like there was such a person in their family.

Other than that, although there were quite a few second-generation heirs in Huaxia who acted busy running their businesses all day long, deep down, they couldn't change their pleasure-seeking nature.

For this reason, he and Shen Tianzhuo should be two completely different types of people.

Even if they had a project that they could collaborate on or hired him as a scientific consultant, his parents would have been the ones to do it.

Lin Yi himself wouldn't be able to attract such a talent.

Shen Tianzhuo really wasn't ordinary.

From this point of view, Lin Yi's identity was very interesting.

Liang Ruoxu extended her hand. "Liang Ruoxu, you know my identity. I focus on the economy."

Lin Yi straightened his expression and tidied his clothes before reaching out his hand toward Liang Ruoxu.

"Lin Yi, director of the Longxin Research Institute."

"You… you are the president of the Longxin Research Institute?!"

Liang Ruoxu was shocked when she learned of Lin Yi's identity.

She knew about Longxin. After all, it was a powerful research institute in Zhonghai. She didn't expect this young man to be the president.

She looked at Lin Yi from head to toe. This completely different identity needed Liang Ruoxu to calm down for a while before she could accept it.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. "Because we were recently planning to secretly develop the photolithography machine, we brought Director Shen back."

"You're going to develop a photolithography machine?!"

Liang Ruoxu studied philosophy, but she'd been working in politics for many years and knew a lot about the weak scientific foundation of Huaxia.

The photolithography machine was the most advanced piece of technology in the world, and it wasn't an easy task to develop it.

Even though Shen Tianzhuo was back, Liang Ruoxu still felt that this was just a fantasy.

"That's right, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Now that Director Shen is back, we can finally put this on the agenda."

Lin Yi had never told anyone about the photolithography machine as it was a confidential project.

Liang Ruoxu's identity was too special, though. If she learned about this, she should be able to provide some policy and aid in certain areas. This was very important.

Under the modern system, there were many disadvantages if one did not have enough connections.

Liang Ruoxu's identity was an important safeguard.

Shen Tianzhuo wasn't good at the ways of the world, so Lin Yi had to handle these things himself.

"You really surprised me. I didn't expect you to want to make a photolithography machine," Liang Ruoxu said.

"In my opinion, a photolithography machine is a huge project. Aren't you afraid that your efforts will be in vain?"

"Of course I'm afraid," Lin Yi smiled.

"Director Shen asked me the same question before, but he still said that someone had to do it. In the words of our Longxin researcher, I want the Huaxian people to believe that our country is no worse than any other country.

"To be honest, I'm tired of hearing about big countries who own heavy industries. Now, I feel that big countries owning big technologies is very pleasing to the ears, so I decided to give it a try."

"Perhaps Directors Shen and I will collapse somewhere along this road and go bankrupt. No one knows, but I believe that everything we've done will not be in vain. I believe that more young juniors will continue on this road."

Liang Ruoxu was shocked. Her pair of peach blossom-like eyes were shining brightly.

At this moment, she seemed to see two souls on the man in front of her.

One was asleep during the day, and the other was awake during the night.

It was truly awe-inspiring.

Liang Ruoxu reached out her hand again. "Thank you for making me change my opinion of the second generation nouveau riche, and for making me believe in your hearts and feelings for the country."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He'd been bragging so much, but it hadn't been in vain. He'd finally managed to trick Liang Ruoxu.

The trump card should be secured now.

"Mayor Liang, if you say that, it sounds a bit shallow ," Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile.

"Shallow?"

"He has another identity. Can you guess what it is?"

"Professor Shen, you're making things difficult for me. His identity at the Longxin Research Institute is enough to shock me."

Shen Tianzhuo smiled, "Actually, Lin Yi is an expert in the field of computer chips, due to some special reasons I can't reveal more, but I can promise you that he's not inferior to me in terms of technology."

Liang Ruoxu was stunned again.

Compared to the bold words just now, Lin Yi's identity made Ruoxu feel incredulous and unbelievable.

An expert in the field of microchips!

A person who didn't belong to Tianzhuo in terms of technology!

Liang Ruoxu no longer thought that Lin Yi was a useless person when even the capable Shen Tianzhuo gave him such an evaluation!

However, he was so young. He was at the age of debauchery. No one would say anything even if he hung around the club all day.

This was what a person of his age and identity should do.

However, he did not do so. Instead, he learned a set of superb technological skills and charmed Shen Tianzhuo to develop the photolithography machine together.

This was not something that an ordinary person could do.

However, due to his previous actions, if it was not for Shen Tianzhuo's reminder, she might never have guessed that such a man actually had stars and the sea hidden in his heart.

"Are you shocked?" Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile, "Actually, after I learned of his ability, I was also shocked."

"Professor Shen, I finally know why you decided to suddenly return to the country. I think it must be because you appreciate each other," Liang Ruoxu said.

"Exactly. If it weren't for him, my plan to return to the country might have been delayed."

Liang Ruoxu had a smile on his face. Previously, she had still been trying to guess why Shen Tianzhuo suddenly returned to the country.

Now the truth was revealed. It was all because of this man in front of her.

On the way back, Liang Ruoxu learned something else that made her not know whether to laugh or cry.

Lin Yi had applied for the position of executive vice-president of Microsoft in order to get in touch with Shen Tianzhuo.

This man's methods were definitely not simple!

About forty minutes later, the convoy stopped at the Peninsula Hotel.

Liang Ruoxu looked up and felt that the conditions were still acceptable.

After getting out of the car, Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi and Shen Tianzhuo.

"Mr. Lin, you didn't give me any face at the airport. Now you have to let me show off. I'll treat you to this meal."

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Lin Yi said awkwardly.

"Do you have to insist on even paying for this meal? It doesn't matter who's treating whom, right?"

"It's not a question of who's treating whom. The main thing is that this hotel is mine, so there's no point in you paying for any meals."

Chapter 362

"The Peninsula Hotel is yours as well?"

"I bought it a long time ago, so you won't get the chance to treat me to a meal today."

She'd never been defeated like this in all these years.

"Since this is the case, I'll be your guest today."

"My pleasure."

Lin Yi led Liang Ruoxu, Shen Tianzhuo, and the others into the Peninsula Hotel.

The foreigners from the other countries looked around curiously.

To them, this legendary land was unfamiliar. They had to behave themselves. After all, everyone here knew kung fu.

At the same time, Wang Tianlong went up to them.

"President Lin, the banquet hall and guest room are ready."

"Okay."

Lin Yi led the group to the banquet hall.

Lu Ying, Sun Fuyu, and Wang Ran had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone stood up solemnly when they saw Lin Yi bringing Shen Tianzhuo in.

"Professor Shen."

Everyone present, apart from Wang Ran, was a scientist.

The name Shen Tianzhuo was like a star shining in the sky to them.

It was bright and out of reach.

They were both excited and nervous to see him in person today.

"Alright, don't stand on ceremony. We'll be colleagues from now on," Shen Tianzhuo said politely.

"As the saying goes, science knows no boundaries. I believe that with our joint efforts, President Lin's support and Mayor Liang's guidance, a new generation of photolithography technology will soon be introduced to the world. When that time comes, everyone's name will be recorded in the annals of history!"

Applause rang out.

Shen Tianzhuo was even more excited than Lin Yi had expected.

Then, Shen Tianzhuo made some explanations on the lithography project.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Yi's confidence increased inexplicably.

It seemed like success was not far away.

"Do you want to say a few words?" Lin Yi whispered as he stood beside Liang Ruoxu.

"I don't think so. This isn't the right occasion either," Liang Ruoxu said.

"There's no such thing as the right occasion. With your status, we are more than appreciative of your guidance." Lin Yi said.

"You don't have to flatter me. Don't worry, as long as it's within my capabilities, I'll give you the green light regarding policies." Liang Ruoxu said.

"Look at what you're saying. You're making it sound like I'm getting something out of it," Lin Yi said with a smile. "But since you're not good with words, I'll let it go. Hehehe…"

Liang Ruoruo sighed in her heart. What a smooth talker.

After a simple introduction, the welcoming banquet officially began.

However, soon, the topic of the banquet turned to the photolithograph project.

This wasn't in line with what Lin Yi had imagined.

In his imagination, these people should be holding a beer and bragging one after another.

However, the brains of these academics were different from those of normal people.

They were chattering non-stop about a theorem, arguing until their faces turned red.

Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu could pick up on a thing or two, but from Wang Ran's perspective, this was all gibberish.

The welcoming party was very short, only lasting an hour.

It wasn't that these people weren't good at talking, but Lin Yi's two bottles of Maotai were enough to make them lose their minds.

He ended the dinner early so that they wouldn't waste any time on business.

Lin Yi then brought Liang Ruoxu, Shen Tianzhuo, and the others to the new lab.

He briefly introduced the functions of the lab and signed a confidentiality agreement before ending the welcoming ceremony.

"Where are you going? I'll take you back."

Lin Yi asked politely as they walked out of the institute.

"If you send me in a Rolls-Royce, you won't need to come by tomorrow to pick up any documents. You can come over and get the documents tonight itself." Liang Ruoxu said with a smile.

"I'll criticize you for having an inappropriate relationship with a mystery handsome man."

"I won't argue with you if that's what you think." Liang Ruoxu chuckled as he covered his mouth. "We'll talk again when we have time. Bye-bye."

Liang Ruoxu reached out his hand and hailed a taxi before leaving.

Lin Yi's figure gradually blurred in the rearview mirror, and Liang Ruoxu averted her gaze.

However, she didn't go to the office. Instead, she went back to her own home.

Liang Ruoxu's home wasn't very big. It was only about 70 square meters, and the decorations were simple and near. Its entire aura reaked pure and efficient.

When she got home, Liang Ruoxu went to the bathroom to take a shower, but halfway through the shower, she heard her phone ring.

After taking a look, she found that it was her grandfather calling, so she was not in a hurry and did not come out until she was done showering.

"Grandpa, you were looking for me." After returning the call, Liang Ruoxu said.

"How is it? Are you used to it in Zhonghai?"

"It's pretty good, but the air is a little humid. It's not as good as in Yanjing."

"Hehe… coastal cities are like that. It's not really a negative point," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"I'm relieved that you can adapt to life in Zhonghai. Just now, your grandmother told me to transfer you back."

"Aiya, tell Grandma that I'm fine here. Don't worry about me." Liang Ruoxu smiled and said, "I'm already an adult. I can take care of myself."

"That's what I said, but your grandma still gave me a lecture. I was badly wronged."

"Don't worry, I'll call Grandma later and talk to her."

"There's no hurry to make the call," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"Didn't you go to pick up Shen Tianzhuo? What do you think of his character? Can you keep him in Zhonghai?"

Although the news of Shen Tianzhuo's return was very secret and the media did not publicize it, there were still a small number of people who knew about it.

Liang Ruoxu's grandfather was one of them.

This was also the reason why Liang Ruoxu was able to rush to the airport to pick up Shen Tianzhuo at the right time.

"His character is not bad. He's also staying in Zhonghai."

"Oh, after hearing my precious granddaughter's tone, why do I feel that something is not right?"

"Grandpa, actually, we were all wrong," Liang Ruoxu said regretfully.

"Shen Tianzhuo's return this time is not due to the progress in Huaxia's scientific research. He was invited back by a person and has already started working at Zhonghai."

"Really? In this country, I know almost everyone who has the qualifications to speak to Shen Tianzhuo, but they were unable to tempt Shen Tianzhuo to come back. Who in Zhonghai has this ability?"

Liang Ruoxu propped her head on one hand, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"How should I put it? This person's identity is really a little complicated."

"Yo, for my precious granddaughter to give such an evaluation, this person must not be someone simple, right?"

"He is definitely not simple," Liang Ruoxu said.

"His identity on the surface is that of an unrestrained rich second generation, being around 25 or 26 years old. But in reality, he is the director of a certain research institute in Zhonghai."

Chapter 363

"He became the president at 25 or 26?" Liang Ruoxu's grandfather obviously didn't believe it. "He must have obtained this identity with money and is using it to build his reputation."

"At first, I thought so too, but Shen Tianzhuo said that he's an expert in the chip field, and his skills are as good as his. Moreover, his return this time is also due to mutual appreciation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back at this time."

"He's also a technology expert?!"

This time, Liang Ruoxu's grandfather was not calm.

If he did not have a certain level of skill, he would never receive such an evaluation.

"This can't be fake," Liang Ruoxu said.

"In the afternoon, we had a meal together and even met the researchers under him. They all respected him very much. If it was just money, those researchers would not have given him such respect."

Liang Ruoxu's grandfather was silent for a few seconds. "What's his name? I think I should be able to familiarize myself with the elders in his family."

"I can't comment on that." Liang Ruoxu smiled and said, "This is a very secret matter."

"You little girl, do you think that I can't control you just because you ran to Zhonghai? You're already starting to keep me in suspense. Believe it or not, I'll get you transferred the northwest with just a word."

"Then I'll tell Grandma."

"Oh you, you've really grown up. You're different from when you were young," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"Alright, since you won't tell me who the other party is, you should at least tell me the purpose of Shen Tianzhuo's return. Why did he join the research institute?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Liang Ruoxu said,

"Photolithography machine."

"What?! Photolithography machine?"

"That's right," Liang Ruoxu said.

"Shen Tianzhuo is an expert in the field of computer vision. The person who invited him back to China is an expert in the field of chips. When the two of them are put together, they are like a pair of perfectly balanced dual swords."

"Haha, he actually came back to work on a photolithography machine!" Liang Ruoxu's grandfather laughed loudly.

"This kid's ambition is not small."

"Not only is it not small, he still wants to do something that countless researchers and funds have yet to develop. I'm really afraid that we might end up empty-handed." Liang Ruoxu stood up and took out a can of yogurt from the fridge.

"But I feel that whether this matter succeeds or not, it'll still be a good thing. The positive meaning it can bring is greater than we imagined."

"My precious granddaughter. If you say that, you might appear too naive." Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"Your mother founded such a big company and you have been influenced by it for so many years. Don't tell me that you still haven't realized something?"

"En? What did I miss?"

Liang Ruoxu's grandfather smiled. He was most likely showing off in front of Liang Ruoxu.

"A meeting with a lot of people is not important, and an important meeting has not many people. A big meeting is held to solve small problems, a small meeting is held to solve major problems, and no meetings are held to solve major problems. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liang Ruoxu did not have the mood to enjoy the open yogurt anymore, so she put it aside.

"I understand the logic, but I don't know what this has to do with the photolithography machine."

"It has everything to do with it. In reality, a country is similar to a company. It's not a good if there are too many people involved."

Liang Ruoxu was silent for a few seconds. She thought for a moment and said,

"Grandpa, are you saying that when the country first pursued this project, there were too many departments and people involved, which led to the current situation?"

"That's right. Your grandmother was a researcher. At that time, why did they only take a few years to develop a nuclear weapon? It was because the whole country was doing their best to pursue this. Now, under the trend of overall development, we have developed many complicated relationships. This is often detrimental to the advancement of science."

"Then I understand," Liang Ruoxu said. "Money aside, what science needs the most is freedom."

"Of course, this is the most important point," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"Oh right, when you went to Zhonghai this time, did Zhao Mo contact you?"

"Why didn't you warn me earlier?" Liang Ruoxu said, "I just got off the plane and he called me. He asked me to help take care of Cisco, but I ignored him."

"I knew it. Why else would this kid come to see me a few days ago? Even after all this time, you still won't give him the time of day," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"His grandfather and I know each other. If conditions permit, take care of him."

"I'll see how it goes," Liang Ruoxu said:

"Cisco's development has exceeded all of our expectations. As one of the important funds supporting Cisco, Zhao Mo has already made a lot of money. There's no need for me to take care of him."

"As I said before, Zhao Mo is not bad. His investment and business methods are also not bad. In this huge Yanjing City, he can be considered to be number one. Since he's interested in you, give him a chance."

"I'll hang up if you continue talking about this matter," Liang Ruoxu said.

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't mention it anymore," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"Now, isn't Shen Tianzhuo going to study lithography machines? If he needs any green lights, do take care of him. Whether it succeeds or not, this matter will have a positive effect on society."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. When it's time for me to step in, I'll take care of him."

"Just now, I asked you to take care of Cisco, which is under Zhao Mo. You didn't agree. Now, when I ask you to take care of Shen Tianzhuo's photolithography project, you immediately agree. Why do I feel that something isn't right?"

"Hmm? What's not right about this?"

"I asked you just now who the person wroking with Shen Tianzhuo on the photolithography project was, but you wouldn't tell me no matter what. Is it because of this person? Twenty-five or twenty-six. He's pretty good-looking, isn't he? If he's not, he won't be able to get past your grandma."

"Beep beep beep…"

Liang Ruoxu didn't say anything. She immediately hung up the phone and complained to herself.

"You're already so old, why are you still so gossipy?"

…

At the Peninsula Hotel.

Lin Yi looked at the time after Liang Ruoxu left, then went to pick up Ji Qingyan from work.

Lin Yi thought for a moment. Of the total of 4,000-plus kilometers he had driven, about 1,000 of it was all thanks to her.

She had really helped him out in this regard.

"Do you need to work overtime today?" Lin Yi asked on the phone when he reached the parking lot.

If she still needed to work overtime, he would go up for a while. If she didn't, he would wait for her here.

As for the mission, Lin Yi wasn't worried anymore. There were less than 200 kilometers left, and he could easily complete it tomorrow.

There was no need to rush.

"The bidding process is almost done. There's nothing much to do tonight, just wait for me in the parking lot. I'll change and go down now."

"Okay."

Soon, he saw Ji Qingyan in a dark blue dress walking out of the elevator with Hermès handbag in her hand. Her steps were light and elegant.

"There's not much left at home. I want to go buy some food. Come with me, don't run away at night."

She knew that Lin Yi would continue driving for Didi at night, so Ji Qingyan often used all sorts of excuses to make him accompany her at night.

On the other hand, it was easier to stay by her side than to go out and drive for Didi.

"No problem."

After confirming their destination, Lin Yi drove to the nearby Wanda Plaza.

Ring, ring, ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang not long after the car left.

It was from that girl, Kong Jing.

Before Lin Yi could say anything, Kong Jing started chattering.

"Yi Bro, my acceptance letter just arrived. 698 points, Fudan medical department. I'm going to register tomorrow."

"You're going to register tomorrow?! So soon?"

"You're a busy man. Of course you think time passes quickly," Kong Jing said. "The days I spent waiting for the letter were torturous."

"Torture is a good thing. At least it means you didn't let your parents down."

"Hehe, I'll definitely repay them in the future."

"Are you at the stall?"

"Yeah, I'm here helping my parents."

"Okay, wait for me there. I haven't eaten yet."

"Okay, I'll treat you today."

"You're just a little girl."

Lin Yi ended the call after saying that with a smile.

"Who was that?"

"Uncle Kong's kid." Lin Yi said.

"Her dad cooks your favorite egg fried rice in the alley. She scored 698 points this year and received admission from Fudan's medical department. I wanted to go over and have dinner while I'm congratulating her."

"Why is she going to Fudan with such a high score? She should have gone to Yan University. What a pity."

"You're really protective of your alma matter. You've already graduated, and you're still thinking about your school."

"That's expected." Ji Qingyan said proudly. "My Yan University isn't an ordinary school."

"Are you trying to say that the school is good because it raised a student like you?"

"I'm not that humble, but if you are the one saying it, I'm not going to deny anything."

"Hehehe…" Lin Yi laughed coldly,

"So what? I'm a graduate of Zhonghai University of Science and Technology."

Chapter 364

"What do you mean, you're hitting on me? What an ugly thing to say."

Ji Qingyan spat, but she only said that Lin Yi didn't use the right words. She didn't say anything else.

It seemed to be a tacit agreement to some extent.

In less than five minutes, the two reached the alley on Zhongxuan Road. Lin Yi parked the car and followed Ji Qingyan in.

"Yi Bro!"

Kong Jing jogged over when she saw Lin Yi. She slowed down when she saw Ji Qingyan.

This big sister was so pretty, but her mother said that it was difficult to win over beautiful women, so she didn't dare to get too close to Lin Yi.

"You are Kong Jing, right?" Ji Qingyan greeted.

"I… I Am…"

Kong Jing asked nervously, "Are you Brother Yi's girlfriend?"

"He's not being nice enough, so I don't want to be his girlfriend just yet." Ji Qingyan said proudly.

After that, Ji Qingyan looked at Kong Jing's parents and greeted them,

"Uncle Kong, Aunt Liu."

"Hi, hi, hi…"

The two of them answered nervously. They didn't expect Lin Yi to bring his girlfriend here.

The girl was really good-looking, making her a perfect match for Little Yi. She was much better than the two women who came last time.

"Miss, what would you like to eat? Let your Uncle Kong make it for you."

Ji Qingyan pointed at the egg fried rice on the table. "I'll have this."

"This is too easy. I'll make you a bacon fried rice."

"It's okay, Auntie Liu. Lin Yi buys your egg fried rice for me all the time. I like it just as much as he does."

"Alright then. I'll ask Your Uncle Kong to make you a new plate."

"I'll have to trouble you then, Auntie Liu."

Lin Yi gave the fried rice to Ji Qingyan, then prepared to eat it.

"The semester is about to start. Why didn't you tell me the results when you first got them? Didn't I tell you before, to tell me when the results came out?"

Kong Jing chuckled and said embarrassedly, "It's mainly because the results of the college entrance examination was much higher than I expected. I forgot about updating you because I was so happy. I just remembered today."

"You still have the nerve to say that." Lin Yi laughed.

"Hey hey, I knew you wouldn't be angry."

"Is everything ready for you to go to university?"

"Yes, yes. My mom packed everything for me. She packed two sets of blankets and other clothes. I feel like I'm moving to a new place."

"Don't complain. You're still studying in the same city. If you were going to another city, you'd need to pack more." Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi still remembered that when he came to Zhonghai to study, Mother Wang had prepared four bags of things for him.

If it wasn't for one of her good friends coming to Zhonghai and dropping him off along the way, he wouldn't even know how he would have carried so many things.

"It's much more convenient for you to go to university here. You can just pick up whatever you need when you go home."

"That makes sense."

"When are you reporting in tomorrow? I'll fetch you there. You will have so many things, so you won't be able to carry it all."

"No need, no need." Kong Jing said.

"We've already discussed it. We'll take a taxi tomorrow, so we won't trouble you."

"What's there to trouble? I'm just an idle person." Lin Yi said with a smile. "I've eaten so much of your family's egg fried rice. You have to give me a chance to pay you back."

"Hehehe, in that case, I have to thank you, Brother Yi."

"What are you talking about, Kid? Your Brother Yi is someone who does big things. Don't waste your Brother Yi's time on this." Kong Jing's father said as he handed the newly prepared egg fried rice to Lin Yi. 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Hmph!" Kong Jing stuck out her tongue after being scolded, not daring to speak.

"Uncle Kong, this is such a small matter. There's no need to blow it up. It's only right that we help each other." Lin Yi said.

"It's settled then. I'll pick you up tomorrow and we can report to school together."

Seeing that Lin Yi was adamant about this, Kong Jing's parents didn't refuse.

"We'll have to thank you then."

"You're welcome."

Meanwhile, Ji Qingyan struggled to finish the plate of egg fried rice while panting. She still had more than half the plate left.

"I'm not eating anymore. You can have it."

"That much?"

"That's quite a lot." Ji Qingyan said. "Uncle Kong prepared too much. I really can't eat anymore."

"That's fine too. It's a good time for you to start losing weight."

"What are you talking about?" Ji Qingyan pouted.

A few minutes later, Lin Yi finished the remaining half of the egg fried rice. He stood up and said to Kong Jing,

"Let's go. Brother Yi will take you out for a walk."

"Where are we going?" Kong Jing's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Don't ask, just follow me." Lin Yi smiled. "Are you afraid that I'm going to traffic you?"

"Hehehe, I'm not afraid."

Lin Yi smiled as he stood up. "Uncle Kong, Auntie Liu, I'll take her out for a walk. You don't have to wait for her, I'll send her back tonight."

"Alright then." Auntie Liu said. "Follow your Lil Yi Bro out and be good, don't trouble him."

"Okay."

The three of them packed up and left.

Ji Qingyan and Kong Jing soon got along and walked arm in arm, leaving Lin Yi to the side.

After that, Lin Yi drove the three of them to Wanda Plaza.

"Brother Yi, are we getting out here?"

"Yeah, let's go for a walk."

"Oh, ok."

Kong Jing followed closely behind Ji Qingyan. Places like Wanda Plaza were unheard of to her and she had never been here before.

The luxurious and exquisite decorations inside, as well as the shocking numbers on the price tag, surprised her.

The clothes here were too expensive. Her dad couldn't even afford a single item after selling egg fried rice all day.

The three of them strolled along and arrived at the digital zone.

"Come, Jing Jing, drinkthis." Ji Qingyan was bored and bought two Frappuccino without Lin Yi.

"Is this Starbucks?" Kong Jing asked. "I saw my classmate drink it before. It costs more than forty yuan per cup."

Ji Qingyan noticed Kong Jing's sensitivity and smiled.

"Sister has two credit cards that give you one free drink every month. With this promotion, we get to buy a Starbucks each. Your Brother Yi won't get one."

"So you can even buy a Starbucks with one yuan…" Kong Jing was delighted when she heard the price. "I want to get a credit card in the future too. It'll be much cheaper this way."

"Of course, it'll be a waste if we don't take advantage of these promotions."

"Hehe, you're right."

Lin Yi sighed when he saw the two chatting and laughing.

Not only was Ji Qingyan good-looking, but her EQ was also good.

"You're already in college, so Yi Bro will give you a phone and a computer to use. These are things you will need in college."

"Ah?! You want to buy me a phone and a computer?"

"These things are too expensive. I can't accept them."

Kong Jing turned around to leave. "If I take your gifts, my parents will beat me to death."

"It's just a phone and a computer. How expensive can they be? Hurry up and pick one," Lin Yi said with a straight face. "Otherwise, I'll buy you Apple products."

"No, no, no, Brother Yi, I'm not used to the Apple system."

Kong Jing looked around and pointed at the Lenovo counter. "I think the Lenovo K5 is pretty good."

"Lenovo K5?"

Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan looked at each other. They were a little unfamiliar with this model.

"Sir, the Lenovo K 5 is a phone that focuses on offering bang for your buck. It's priced at 439, making it very suitable for students nowadays," the saleswoman said enthusiastically.

Looking at Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan shook her head quietly.

Although she didn't know much about digital products, she knew that this price meant that it didn't have great performance.

She didn't want to buy such a cheap thing for Kong Jing.

"Then let's just take a look around."

After receiving Ji Qingyan's signal, Lin Yi rejected the saleswoman and prepared to look at other brands.

He also felt that a 400 yuan phone was indeed a bit cheap.

The saleswoman could also see that this man had rejected her because of Ji Qingyan's cue. There was a trace of resentment in her heart.

"I saw an advertisement a few days ago. It said that Huawei's P40 Pro+ was pretty good," Ji Qingyan said casually.

"And Huawei's notebooks seem pretty good too. You can consider that."

"You want to buy a P40 Pro+ and a laptop?" The saleswoman crossed her arms in front of her chest and said,

"People who need to use their credit card promotions to get Starbucks actually want to spend more than 8,000 on mobile phones and computers. Where's the logic in that?"

Chapter 365

Ji Qingyan turned around and looked directly at the saleswoman.

Her powerful aura instantly suppressed her. She did not even dare to look at Ji Qingyan after that.

"What right do you have to say that about Sister Qingyan?" Kong Jing was displeased. She was the only child in the market who was so full of vigor.

"I'm just telling the truth. You're drinking a promotional Starbucks while thinking of spending more than 8,000 on devices. Isn't this a joke?"

"We're being thrifty. Whether it's Brother Yi or Sister Qingyan, they're both richer than you. They just don't want to waste money."

"Alright, calm down. Stop arguing. It's meaningless," Ji Qingyan said. "Let's just go somewhere else."

"What right does she have to criticize you? I have to correct her."

"Let's go. There's no need for this."

Ji Qingyan held Kong Jing's arm and said.

From her perspective, it was impolite for a girl to shout in public.

"Got it, Sister Qingyan."

Seeing the three of them walk away, the saleswoman became confident again. "Tsk, what are you trying to pull? I'd like to see if you can afford it. You're really good at bragging!"

"Little Mei, why are you still talking to them? There's no need to be so angry," said the female salesperson's colleague.

"If I wasn't afraid of being seen by the manager, I would have definitely continued shouting at them. I've seen all kinds of people in such a big shopping mall, yet they're still trying to pretend in front of me. Disgusting!"

"That's exactly why there's no need for this. If the manager sees you, you'll end up being fired. Work is more important."

"I'm afraid of that. Otherwise, do you think I'd have let them off? My mouth isn't to be trifled with."

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the other two went to the Huawei store next door.

The store staff had heard their argument earlier and didn't know how to greet them.

They weren't sure if the three of them could afford the P40 Pro+.

It was Huawei's newest phone, and offered no discount at all. The price was 8,888, which wasn't something an average family could afford.

"Sir and Madam, do you have a product that you like? I can show it to you."

Lin Yi looked around. "P40 Pro+ and a top-quality Matebook X Pro. How much will that be?"

"P40 Pro+ and top-quality Matebook X Pro?"

The female Huawei Saleswoman was stunned. The price of P40 Pro+ was 8,888, while a top-quality Matebook X Pro was 19,999. There was no discount on either product, so it added up to 28,887!

This was nearly 30,000 yuan!

"What's the matter? You don't have it?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yes, I do," the Huawei Saleswoman said. "The total price is 28,887 yuan."

The Lenovo saleswoman was surprised. Were they really going to buy it?

That wasn't possible.

"I want to ask you something," Lin Yi asked. "There's a membership system in Times Square. Do you have one in Wanda Plaza?"

"Yes, but the membership system in our Wanda Plaza is different from that in Times Square," the Huawei saleswoman said.

"Times Square is a place where you can become a member of the corresponding class once you spend a certain amount. Our Wanda Plaza needs members to maintain a certain stored value in their cards."

"To put it bluntly, it's pre-deposit," Lin Yi said.

"Yes, once the deposit reaches 200,000 yuan, you can become an ordinary member."

"What about to become a diamond member?"

"You need to deposit 2 million yuan," the Huawei saleswoman said.

"If you become a member of our Wanda Plaza, you can enjoy many additional services, but you have to consult the manager of our mall beforehand."

"Can you help me call the manager of Wanda Plaza?"

The employees of Huawei were stunned. Didn't he want to buy a computer and a phone? Why did he need the manager now?

Was he really looking to become a diamond member?

Wasn't this a joke?

"Alright, please waita moment."

The female sales representative called the manager of the mall with an internal landline.

Five minutes later, a middle-aged woman rushed in from the elevator.

There was a badge hanging around her neck.

Her name was Sun Xue, and she was the manager. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

"Miss Sun, this gentleman would like to ask about the diamond membership."

Sun Xue's face lit up at the saleslady's words.

"Sir, what questions do you have regarding the diamond membership?"

Ji Qingyan and Kong Jing were curious as well. They didn't know why Lin Yi was asking about the diamond membership.

"If I deposit two million here and become your diamond member, do I get to enjoy any special privileges?"

"Of course." Sun Xue said with a big smile. "Sir, we can go to my office. I'll explain it to you in detail."

"You don't have to say anything else." Lin Yi said, pointing at the Lenovo salesgirl.

"If I become a diamond member, do I have the right to suggest that you fire her?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard that.

In order to get someone fired, he was willing to spend two million yuan to become a diamond member. Wasn't that a little too willful?

"Manager Sun, don't listen to his nonsense." The saleswoman said excitedly.

"These people could only afford to buy two cups of Starbucks with their credit card promotion. How could they become diamond members? Don't listen to his lies."

Lin Yi took out his bank card. "Password 0000000. If I have the right to request this, you can get me a card now. If not, then forget it."

Seeing Lin Yi's bank card, Sun Xue quickly said,

"According to the principle that the customer is God, if you want to get a diamond membership, you will certainly have that right."

"Then go."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go now."

Sun Xue was overjoyed. She was so happy that she could not close her mouth.

There was a clear rule in the mall that if a customer could apply for a membership, they would get a 1% commission.

A diamond membership was two million. If she succeeded, she would get a commission of 20,000 yuan instantly!

Based on the different rules of the two malls, Wanda Plaza's membership system gave more power to the customers.

Wanda Plaza required a pre-deposit while Times Square needed to minimum spend.

There was a huge difference between the two.

Forget Lin Yi wanting to fire one person, he could even fire ten people.

"No way, you're really going to get diamond members? That's two million! You're going to blow it just like that?" Lenovo's other salespeople said in surprise.

"I'm not even scared, what are you guys scared of?" The saleswoman called Little Mei said.

"Manager Sun took his card. Aren't you nervous?"

"I think he's faking it. I don't believe that truly rich people would use a credit card promotion to buy a Starbucks. Just wait and see."

Ten minutes later, Sun Xue handed a bright card to Lin Yi.

"Hello, Sir. The card is ready. From now on, you will be a diamond member of Wanda Plaza."

Sun Xue said as she handed the card to Lin Yi.

The crowd was stunned when they saw that Lin Yi had really gotten a two-million-yuan card.

They were dumbfounded!

To teach that saleswoman a lesson, he paid for a two-million-yuan card. This was too crazy!

Lin Yi nodded calmly. "Can we deal with her now?"

Chapter 366

"Please wait a moment, I'll take care of it right now. I'll make sure to give you a satisfactory answer."

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded. "Go on then."

Sun Xue straightened her expression and walked over to the Lenovo salesgirl.

"Liu Mei, pack up. Don't come to work tomorrow."

"Manager, I. . ."

Liu Mei was dumbfounded.

After working in the mall for so many years, she had never seen any customer except for those bulk purchasers from second-and third-tier cities deposit two million yuan in advance.

Unfortunately for her, she was seeing it today!

"Manager Sun, listen to me. This is a misunderstanding. Give me a chance to explain."

Sun Xue waved her hand impatiently. "There's nothing to explain. Pack up. You don't have to come tomorrow."

If she didn't fire Liu Mei, she wouldn't be able to get her 20,000 yuan comission.

By comparison, it was much more practical to fire her.

"I'll pack up now…"

Lin Yi ignored Liu Mei and turned to the female employee of Huawei. "Pack up the phone and computer for me."

"Okay."

Lin Yi used his membership card to pay with some of the 2 million yuan he had stored on it, and left after buying the things.

Lin Yi realized that the other benefit of the card was that there was a 5% discount. Although it wasn't as powerful as in Times Square, it was still beneficial as he would be paying a lower price.

After buying the phone, Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan and Kong Jing upstairs.

Women were all beauty-loving animals.

Even Kong Jing who had just graduated from high school was no exception.

The dazzling array of fashionable women's clothes made her feel overwhelmed.

She felt like she could buy anything, but she couldn't afford anything.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that family factors could have a profound effect on a child.

Wang Lu and Kong Jing were both high school seniors.

However, their personalities were completely different. They even looked like people from two different worlds, even though in reality, they were the same age.

"Alright, I'll take Jingjing around here. You find a place to rest."

Knowing that Lin Yi didn't like shopping, Ji Qingyan didn't drag him along.

"That's sounds good. You two find a place to hang out. I don't want to join you."

"Alright, I'll call you later."

Ji Qingyan left with Kong Jing. Lin Yi was bored, so he found an empty corner and started playing games with Sugar.

They played for about two hours before he saw Ji Qingyan and Kong Jing walking back with more than ten bags in hand.

"You bought so many things in one go?"

"Jingjing's school starts tomorrow. I bought more for her so she can wear them in the future," Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

"That's true."

"If my mom finds out that I asked for so many things from you, she'll scold me when I get home."

"With your Brother Yi around, what's there to be afraid of?" Ji Qingyan said slyly.

"Besides, you're going to college tomorrow. They can't control you even if they want to. Don't be afraid."

"But I'm still embarrassed," Kong Jing said quietly.

"I spent tens of thousands of yuan on these things. It's almost equal to our family's annual expenses."

For Kong Jing, the two hours just now had completely changed her understanding of consumption. She also understood that fashion was not just a casual affair.

Without the support of money, one could never claim to be fashionable.

"For you, this is a new beginning. Naturally, you have to show a new spirit," Ji Qingyan looked at Kong Jing and said.

"One must always maintain their confidence and not feel inferior. Otherwise, even if you get into a university like Fudan, you will never end up achieving anything."

"Got it, Sister Qingyan."

"That's right." Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

"Look at your Brother Yi. He didn't graduate from a famous school, but there's an inexplicable confidence coming from his very bones. Look at him now, isn't he getting along just fine?"

Lin Yi rubbed his chin, feeling inexplicably confident. Those words sounded like they had an additional meaning.

"That's true." Kong Jing said with a smile. "I'll have to learn more from Brother Yi in the future."

"Okay, okay." Ji Qingyan said, "Let's go upstairs and have a look around. Since we're already here, we can go shopping together."

"Sister Qingyan, it seems like the staff are about to end their shifts here."

"It's okay. We still have some time. We've bought everything we need to buy. We'll just be browsing from here on out. If there's something suitable, we'll buy it. If not, we'll just go home."

"Okay."

They soon arrived at the fourth floor of Wanda Plaza.

Kong Jing realized that this was a place where luxury goods were sold, and the prices were absolutely dizzying.

"Come, let's check out Van Cleef and Arpels," Ji Qingyan said excitedly.

"I recently saw a new accessory they have. It looks pretty good."

Lin Yi could tell that Ji Qingyan wanted to buy it herself, and that was why she dragged him and Kong Jing here.

Ah… Women!

The female store manager frowned slightly when she saw the three of them enter. She was a little hesitant to greet them.

"The store is about to close. Why are there still people here?"

There were rules in the mall. If someone came to buy something before the store closed, they had to wait for the customers to finish shopping before closing the store. Otherwise, they would be punished.

According to their past experience, the customers who came here had to browse around would take at least half an hour before they confirmed their purchase.

And this was considered fast.

For example, in the Hermes store, the last batch of customers had arrived half an hour ago, and they still hadn't finished choosing yet.

In the end, there was even the possibility that they would not buy anything, so all their work would be in vain.

"Sister, take a rest, I'll go and greet them."

The female shop assistant who spoke was tall and slender. She seemed to be very young. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

When she spoke, a pair of dimples appeared on her face, making her appear a little charming and cute.

Her name was Jiang Nan.

"Nannan, the store will close in ten minutes. Think of a way to get them to leave as soon as possible. Don't let them delay us from leaving."

"That's not very good. No matter what, they're still customers."

"You're part-timer, so you don't mind. But we've been working here for years and we hate to see such customers, so hurry up and get rid of them."

"Oh, I'll give it a try."

Jiang Nan walked over to Lin Yi and the others, smiling.

"Sir, Madam, we're closing soon."

"I don't think you're closing yet," Lin Yi said.

"There's still ten minutes left. I'm afraid you won't be able to choose anything in time."

"It's fine, that's enough time."

Jiang Nan turned around and looked at his sister helplessly, as if to say that he'd done his best.

Jiang Yue shook her head. This little girl was not good enough. If she had known earlier, she would have gone there herself. She would definitely have been able to get the job done.

Now, it was too late to say all this.

Ji Qingyan looked around and spotted the four-leaf grass diamond pendant that she liked being proudly displayed in the store.

"Hello, I want to ask, is there a discount on this pendant?" Ji Qingyan asked.

"This is the new item that came out this year. There are no special offers for the time being."

Jiang Yue shook her head. It was a necklace that cost 840,000 yuan. It was not something that could be bought on a whim. Therefore, there was no need for these customers to continue looking around and delaying her from leaving.

Ji Qingyan nodded. "I want two. Help me pack them up."

Chapter 367

"Two?" Jiang Nan paused. "Are you sure?"

One necklace was 840,000 yuan, and two was 1.68 million yuan!

It had only been a few minutes!

They were buying it just like that?!

She hadn't even tried it yet!

"Yeah, just help me pack it up," Ji Qingyan said politely.

"Okay, I'll get you two new ones."

Jiang Nan went to get the necklace that Ji Qingyan had her eyes on, and Lin Yi went over to pay for it.

Seeing the glittering diamond membership card, the female employees of Van Cleef & Arbor couldn't keep their cool anymore.

This was a membership card that could only be obtained by placing a deposit of two million yuan!

He actually had one in his hand!

This… this was too generous!

After paying, the three of them left the Van Cleef & Arbor store, and the employees came out to see them off.

The three of them got on the elevator, the saleswomen all felt that they were hallucinating.

1.68 million!

It was spent in less than five minutes!

How rich were they?!

"Sister, you must have made a mistake." Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Next time you meet such a customer, you must treat them well. Otherwise, you might just end up losing your job."

"Don't say that. I was scared to death just now." Jiang Yue patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, I didn't make them unhappy just now. Otherwise, I would have missed this business deal."

"Hehe, this business deal was handled by myself. Do I get a commission?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I think the commission will be enough for you to change your mobile phone." Jiang Yue smiled and said,

"Don't stand here. Go and pack your things then head back. Go home and sleep early. You still have to report to school tomorrow."

"Got it." Jiang Nan said as she walked.

"Sister, I feel that this part-time job during the holiday was really informative. Although our family's conditions are not bad, compared to the real rich people, we're miles apart."

"It's good that you recognize this." Jiang Yue said, "But you're not too bad yourself. You've been admitted to a famous school. You'll definitely be more successful than me in the future."

"Humph, that's for sure."

"You're really cocky."

…

Back in the car, Ji Qingyan took out the necklace.

"Come on, be quiet. Try It on. I think it'll look good on you."

Kong Jing was shocked. "Ah?! The necklace is for me?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I buy two?" Ji Qingyan smiled and said, "Hurry up and try it on."

"Sister Qingyan, this necklace cost more than 800,000 yuan. Even if we sell all of our family's belongings, it won't equate to that much."

"You're going to college soon. This is a gift from your sister. Girls should treat themselves better."

"But it's too expensive. I don't dare to take it."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Yi said. "If you don't think of yourself, how can Uncle Kong and Aunt Liu rely on you in the future?"

For a long time, Lin Yi had agreed with the idiom 'it took a village to raise a child'.

The little girl's family conditions weren't very good, and there were too many temptations in university. Thus, it might be good thing for her to be exposed to certain things in advance.

"Got it. Thank you, Sister Qingyan. Thank you, Brother Yi."

"That's right."

After shopping, Lin Yi drove Kong Jing back.

The two women sat in the back seat, discussing fashion and cosmetics. 𝒍𝓲𝙗𝒓𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝙘𝒐𝓶

Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to listen, so he kept driving silently.

After sending Kong Jing back, Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan to Jiuzhou Pavilion out of habit.

Ji Qingyan didn't say anything, she even felt that this place was more like her home than Yunshui Villa.

The next day, Ji Qingyan once again cooked breakfast.

"If I remember correctly, the bid you were eyeing starts tomorrow, right?" Lin Yi asked while eating.

Ji Qingyan nodded, her chopsticks tapping at the bottom of the bowl while resting her chin on her hand.

"I'll my best at 1 pm tomorrow, but I don't have much confidence that we'll succeed."

"You don't have to try to predict the future, just try your best."

"Okay."

Ji Qingyan picked up a small ball. "Try this, it's delicious."

After a simple breakfast, Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan to the office, then drove to Kong Jing's house.

When Lin Yi arrived, he found the family of three waiting for him with some food prepared.

"Little Yi, we've known each other for a long time. Why are you being so polite? This is a phone and a computer. We're all embarrassed by your gift." Auntie Liu said.

"It didn't cost much. Don't worry about it."

Lin Yi then carried Kong Jing's luggage into the car, preparing to send the three of them to school.

It was their first time in a Rolls-Royce, and Kong Jing's parents were extremely nervous.

Their bodies were stiff and uncomfortable, afraid that Lin Yi's car would be damaged.

Lin Yi drove the car to the entrance of the university. The crowd was bustling outside as they walked around with both big and small bags.

There were also quite a number of enthusiastic students going about. These consisted of seniors who were guiding the freshmen, and juniors who had come to report for their first day of school.

The crowd was boisterous and the traffic was heavy. All kinds of people from the society had gathered here.

However, there were some girls who had been wiping away their tears before they even entered the school gate.

Needless to say, they were definitely children who were leaving home for the first time.

If one didn't know the situation, they would have thought that these girls were here to pay respects to their ancestor's graves.

"Look at that white car. Isn't it a Mercedes-Benz G-class? It's so cool," a crew-cut boy exclaimed.

"This car seems sell for more than two million yuan. I've been waiting here all morning, and this is the most valuable car I've seen."

"The juniors this year are very good. They're all rich people."

Seeing the White Mercedes-Benz G-class drive over, the people at the school gate all kept a respectful distance from it.

If they bumped into it, they wouldn't be able to pay for its repairs.

"What a bunch of bumpkins who haven't seen the world. A Mercedes-Benz G-class already shocks them to this extent. If we were to drive our family's Ferrari, which is worth more than four million yuan, they would have to stay more than ten meters away."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman. She sat in the front passenger seat and had a thick layer of foundation on her face. When she made the slightest movement, she made it seem as if it was snowing in the car.

"If it wasn't for our son being so shy, I wouldn't have driven this car. It's still a little lacking compared to a Ferrari."

"Previously, people said that there weren't many rich people in a famous school like Fudan. Today, I've finally seen it for myself," the middle-aged woman said.

"In the future, my son can win over all the female students in this school."

"Mom, since you said this, I won't refute you."

"Rascal, you know I'm right. But let me tell you, just play with those girls. Don't be too serious with them. They're not good enough for you."

"Got it, Mom."

Beep Beep Beep.

Just as the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard someone honking behind them. The middle-aged woman was instantly unhappy.

"Who is it? How dare he honk at us? Doesn't he know that we are in a Mercedes-Benz worth over two million yuan?!"

"F*ck, what are you posturing for? The car behind us is a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth over nine million!"

Chapter 368

"A Rolls-Royce worth more than nine million!"

After learning the price of the car behind them, the middle-aged woman and her son hurriedly turned their heads to look at it.

The golden logo on the front of the car almost blinded them.

"Is this car really worth more than nine million?!"

"Why would I lie to you?" Her husband scolded, "Other Rolls-Royce mode,s don't look like this at all. Even the cheapest ones are more expensive than our Ferrari."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and make way for them. We can't afford to offend such people."

"Cut the crap, I know what I'm doing."

The middle-aged man pulled the car to the side and made way for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi drove the car into Fudan's campus under everyone's envious gazes.

"The huniors this year are too good. One of them even drives a rolls-royce. He's probably the richest second generation in Fudan."

"That sounds about right. You don't see many of these cars in Zhonghai."

"Did you see the driver? He's so handsome."

"What's the use of being handsome? What matters is a man's temperament."

"But his temperament is good too. He's so cool."

"Umm… forget it."

Everything was new to Kong Jing when they arrived on Fudan's campus. The university life she had always dreamed of was finally about to begin.

The three members of the Kong family were very unfamiliar with university registration, but Lin Yi, who had attended college before, was quite familiar with it.

Lin Yi led Kong Jing, and the two of them split up. He went to deal with the dorm matters while she went to get the campus card herself, saving them a lot of time.

Kong Jing had two big bags of luggage, carried by Lin Yi and her father respectively, while the rest of the small bags were handled by Kong Jing and her mother.

The dormitory situationin Fudan was much better than Lin Yi had imagined.

Four people shared a room, with two sets of bunkbeds to split between the students. It was similar to what was shown on TV.

When the four of them entered the room, they found that all three beds were occupied.

However, they only saw two girls in the room.

The two girls couldn't help but frown when they saw Kong Jing's family of four.

Where did these people come from? Why did they look like peasants?

Not to mention their luggage was they all packed in gunny bags?

Not even a suitcase? This was too woeful.

Before going to university, their family members said that university classmates were the most important connections they could make to secure their future jobs.

Just now, they were a little glad that they had a white, rich, and beautiful roommate. They hoped that they could have another one, but the last roommate unexpectedly turned out to be a peasant.

What bad luck.

The man, on the other hand, was very handsome. 𝓁𝘪𝘣𝘳ℯ𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Watch out, don't bump into my stuff." Feng Jia said.

The girl's name was Feng Jia. She wasn't tall, and she had short hair, making her give off a shrewd vibe.

"Oh, okay." Kong Jing's father said awkwardly as he carried the luggage.

Lin Yi glanced at the person who spoke. None of Kong Jing's roommates seemed to be very nice.

Kong Jing's dorm life might experience some twists and turns in the future.

Nevertheless, Lin Yi didn't want to interfere too much. Kong Jing was already an adult, and she had to learn how to handle her own relationships in school.

Since she was the last one to arrive, Kong Jing's mother started tidying up her things on the last bed.

"Qiqi, do you know where Nannan is? It's almost noon. Let's go have lunch later."

"Nannan went to get a meal card. We'll head off when she comes back," said the girl named Qiqi.

"Yes, yes. I'm a little hungry after working all morning."

"Hey, hey, hey. Slow down. Don't touch my cup," Feng Jia repeated.

Kong Jing's mother looked back and said in embarrassment, "I'm watching. I won't touch it."

Feng Jia looked disdainful and took back her glass of water.

"Jiajia, let's tidy up the stuff so that it won't get dirty."

"I think so."

"How can you talk like that?" Kong Jing was unhappy.

"We're not talking about you. Why are you making assumptions?"

"Also, we'll be roommates from now on. We have to set a rule with you. You can't touch anything we put in the dormitory."

"I don't want to touch your things." Kong Jing rolled her eyes at the two of them and said coldly.

"It's good if you know your own limits," the girl named Qiqi said.

"Also, you have to maintain your personal hygiene so that the dormitory won't be in a mess."

"What's that supposed to mean? Clarify what you mean when you tell me to maintain my personal hygeine!"

"Wasn't I clear enough? How did you get into Fudan? Do you have hearing problems?"

"Let me tell you…"

"Alright, calm down. You all just got into university. You have to get along well with your roommates."

Aunt Liu smiled and said to Feng Jia and Qiqi,

"My daughter has been spoiled by us since she was young. You guys have to be more tolerant in the future…"

"Hey, hurry up… keep one meter away from me. I can't stand the smell on you."

Auntie Liu took a few steps back, feeling awkward. She didn't say anything even though she didn't feel good.

Creak.

The door was pushed open, and a girl in a long dress walked in.

Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at her. She looked familiar. wasn't she the salesgirl from Van Cleef & Arbor yesterday?

"It's you guys?"

Jiang Nan was a little surprised to see Lin Yi and Kong Jing. She didn't expect to see them here.

"Are you from this dorm too?" Kong Jing asked curiously.

"Yeah, I went to get a meal card just now." Jiang Nan smiled. "I'm Jiang Nan. Let's go eat together after we unpack."

"I'm Kong Jing. I'm a little hungry too."

"Nannan, what are you waiting for her for? I'm a little hungry. Let's go together," Feng Jia said.

When they faced Jiang Nan, their attitudes took a 180-degree turn. They were extremely enthusiastic.

"We're all in the same dormitory. Naturally, we have to go together. Let's wait for a while," Jiang Nan said.

"Look at her. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to become roommates with her."

Jiang Nan frowned slightly. What was she saying?

Was she looking down on others?

"I'm not very hungry. If you're hungry, you can go first. The two of us will go later."

"Nannan, if you aren't going, there's no point in the two of us going ourselves."

"But I'm not very hungry. I want to eat later."

"Alright then. We'll wait for you together," Feng Jia said indifferently.

She didn't understand why a fair, rich, and beautiful woman like Jiang Nan would bother with a country bumpkin.

Jiang Nan was Feng Jia's ideal choice of best friend in the future.

At first, Kong Jing was a little depressed when she met these two roommates who looked down on her. However, Jiang Nan's appearance made the dark clouds in her heart disappear.

"Jingjing, where's your necklace?" Jiang Nan said enviously.

"Ever since I started working part-time at Van Cleef & Arbor, I've been eyeing. However, I can't afford it. Take it out and let me admire it."

Kong Jing took out the four-leaf clover necklace in embarrassment. The dazzling diamonds gave Feng Jia and Qiqi a fright.

"Are… are all those diamonds on it?!"

Chapter 369

"Yes, those are diamonds on it," Jiang Nan said.

"It can't be fake, right?" Feng Jia said sarcastically.

"Nannan, didn't you say that you were bored during the summer vacation and went to work at Vancleef & Arpels? You should be able to tell its authenticity with a glance."

"I sold this necklace to them. How could it be fake?"

"Ah? You sold it to them?"

"That's right." Jiang Nan said, "Jingjing's brother bought it and gave it to her and her sister-in-law."

"No way. There are so many diamonds. It must be worth tens of thousands!"

Feng Jia and Qiqi's hearts were pounding. They didn't expect her to be so rich.

"To be exact, it's 840,000 yuan per necklace."

Hiss…

When they learned the price of the necklace, both of them were dumbfounded.

Their own homes were in small fourth-tier cities. Their parent's annual salaries added up to less than 100,000 yuan. Yet, the other party had spent 840,000 yuan on a necklace, and they had even bought two of them!

Kong Jing's brother was way too rich!

Despite this, why were her parents' clothes so tattered?

In about half an hour, Aunt Liu finished tidying up the house.

"Uncle, Auntie, let's go eat together. I heard from a senior that the school cafeteria is not bad. Shall we go and have a taste?"

"No, no, no, we won't go. We still have work in the afternoon, so we won't go with you," Aunt Liu said.

They also knew that there was a generation gap between them and their children, so it was not appropriate to eat with them.

Thus, theY packed up and left together.

However, the group were already divided into two camps. Kong Jing and Jiang Nan were walking together, while Feng Jia and Qiqi were following behind. They didn't seem to fit in.

"Nannan, where did you top up your meal card? I need to refill it later."

"There's no need to refill it. I've already filled it for you when you went to the dorm. It'll have enough for your four years of university," Lin Yi said.

"Ah? Enough for my four years of college?"

"I put in 100,000 yuan. Even if you're a pig, it'll be enough for you to eat your fill."

"Ah!? You put in 100,000 yuan in one go?"

How rich were you to top up 100,000 yuan in one go?!

Feng Jia and Qiqi were both dumbfounded.

She'd bought a necklace worth more than 800,000 yuan and filled up her meal card worth 100,000 yuan just like that.

Her conditions were even better than Jiang Nan's!

How dare they mock her?

Did they not have any shame?

"Go and have dinner with your roommates. We'll head back first." Lin Yi looked at Kong Jing and said, "Call me if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

"Got it, Brother Yi."

Lin Yi patted Kong Jing's head lovingly and pressed the keys to his Bentley to unlock the car before leaving with Kong Jing's parents.

This scene stunned Jiang Nan and the other two once again.

"Jingjing, your brother's car is a Bentley?"

"Yeah, Brother Yi said that we'd be able to move a lot of stuff in this car, so that's why he drove it here."

Jiang Nan held onto Kong Jing's arm and teased, "Jingjing, do you need a sister-in-law? What do you think of me? Haha…"

"I don't mind, it'll all depend on whether you can deal with my other sister-in-law, Hehe…"

…

Lin Yi sent Kong Jing's parents back after leaving Fudan and continued to drive for Didi.

He opened the system page and looked at the progress of the mission to see that it read (4871/5000). There were still 129 kilometers to go. He could easily complete the mission before Ji Qingyan got off work.

He did not stop until three in the afternoon. Lin Yi spent all his time running Didi orders, except for his lunch break.

He had taken on seven orders in total, driving a total of 127 kilometers. He only needed to drive two more kilometers to complete the mission.

"You have a new order, from People's Square in Zhonghai to Qingshan Town."

Lin Yi took the order without thinking and drove towards People's Square a hundred meters away.

Lin Yi looked around when he arrived at the destination.

He saw a middle-aged man wearing a cap on the side of a the road, looking very mysterious.

"Is this Mr. Ma with the tail number 1455?"

"It's me."

The man's voice was low as he opened the door and got into the car.

"Not bad, young man. You're using such a good car to drive Didi."

"It's fine, it's fine." Lin Yi said politely.

"To be able to sit in such a good car, I can die without regrets."

"That's such an exaggeration. It's just a car, and Didi has a luxury car business, so you can sit in one anytime you want." Maybe it was because of the last order, but Lin Yi was in a good mood and started chatting with the middle-aged passenger.

The middle-aged man smiled but didn't say anything. His expression was a little strange and deep.

"Are you going to Qingshan Town for a tour? I heard that there's a hot spring resort there. It seems pretty good, and the price isn't expensive."

"I'm not going there for fun."

"Then is it for a family visit?"

"No."

"Are you there to check out an investment?"

"No, I'm going to Qingshan Town's police station."

"So you're one of Qingshan Town's police officers."Lin Yi said with a smile. "I'll complete the order fast and give you a discount."

He was only two kilometers away from completing the mission anyway. As long as the order was completed, he didn't care about anything else.

"I'm not a police officer. I'm going to turn myself in."

"Ah? ! Turn yourself in?!"

"My family lives in Lianhua Village in Qingshan Town. I pushed my parents-in-law down the mountain when we went up it yesterday. When we got home, I even hacked my wife to death and cut her into pieces. I wanted to run away, but I regretted it halfway and decided to turn myself in."

The middle-aged man turned around and smiled at Lin Yi. "Young man, I think you're a good person. If I ask you to go hiking with me one last time, will you accept?"

"F*ck!"

Lin Yi was so scared that his hairs were standing on end. He cursed in his heart, "I might not survive this day!"

When they reached the intersection, Lin Yi turned the car around and drove towards the nearby police station.

"Young man, this isn't the way to Qingshan Town."

"Big Brother, at your level, all the police stations will receive you. I'll just send you to the nearest one." Lin Yi pretended to be calm.

"The King of Hell waits for no man. Let's not waste time on the road."

"Will you really not go hiking with me?"

Lin Yi stepped on the brakes and stopped the Rolls-Royce in front of the police station.

"Bro, have a heart. I'm still young, I haven't married yet, so my life is nowhere near its peak. Although you and I get along with each other well, the road to hell is long and winding, so this is the best I can do for you."

"Alright then. If there's a chance, I'll invite you to go hiking with me in the future." The middle-aged man said.

"Okay, okay, okay. Remember to reach out to me in your dreams when you reincarnate." Lin Yi said.

After this, the middle-aged man got out of the car and walked into the police station.

Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. What did he do to get a passenger like this?

He looked at the system mission and realized that the man probably wouldn't be able to pay for the ride anymore.

Damn it, he needed to give one more ride.

[ Mission completed. Reward 200,000 experience points. ]

[ Job completion 100%. Reward Didi Chuxing 80% shares! ]

What the hell?

The mission was actually completed?!

Big Brother actually completed the order?!

It was obvious that this man was still considerate of others. 'Every New Year, I will definitely go to temple and burn more paper money for you.'

Chapter 370

"Yes, those are diamonds on it," Jiang Nan said.

"It can't be fake, right?" Feng Jia said sarcastically.

"Nannan, didn't you say that you were bored during the summer vacation and went to work at Vancleef & Arpels? You should be able to tell its authenticity with a glance."

Chapter 371

"Pfft, no I don't." Ji Qingyan said with her ponytail raised.

"It's all just a coincidence, but you made so much money in secret that you bought Didi without anyone knowing. I was shocked when I heard that."

"Actually, I've been working in secret for a long time and only brag in front of you. Aren't I good?"

"Yeah, you're the best. I'll give you a thumbs up." Ji Qingyan's eyes narrowed into crescents. She was happy that Lin Yi had achieved such success.

"Ah, it's just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning."

"Keep bragging."

Ji Qingyan was happy that Lin Yi had bought Didi.

"Now, Didi has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lingyun Group. When we talk about 'food, clothing, housing, and transportation', the 'transportation' portion has been settled. All that remains is 'food, clothing, and housing'. What are your plans regarding Lingyun Group's next steps?"

"Tell me what you think first. I want to hear your opinion."

"No, you have to go first."

"Is there a need to be so calculative?"

"Of course there's a need," Ji Qingyan said matter-of-factly. "I'll identify the loopholes after you're done. This will show how great I am."

"You're such a nuisance."

"I can't help it. I'm a woman, so I'm naturally unreasonable."

Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa. "I'd rather wait and see the reactions of the other companies than come up with a plan for the next step."

Ji Qingyan pondered for a moment and said,

"Lingyun Group's acquisition of Didi is considered a big deal in the industry. It's a very rare event in the internet industry."

"But you can't keep it a secret. It won't be long before people find out that Didi is being bought out. After that, those in the industry who want a share of the big data industry might join forces. It's a wise move for you to quietly play a defensive card for now."

"You're being a bit too serious if you're thinking about playing a defensive card."

Lin Yi changed his position and lay on Ji Qingyan's lap. The latter naturally moved closer to the sofa, afraid that Lin Yi wouldn't be able to lie down.

"I just want to see how many enemies I have waiting in the dark, who they are, and then destroy them one by one."

"Are you trying to form a monopoly?"

"I was thinking of it."

"I believe you can do it. You're the best."

Ji Qingyan put her finger to her lips, then pressed it against the corner of Lin Yi's mouth.

"I'll give you a flying kiss. Come on, do your best."

"You're too prim and proper."

"Be content. It's already good enough that I'm giving you a flying kiss." Ji Qingyan smiled.

"During the day, Yuanyuan called me and said that she might go to Yangcheng with Brother Qi. I'm planning to go back to Yangcheng as well after I join the bid tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've visited Mother Wang and the others."

"We'll see how it goes. I have a lot of things to do there, so I might not be able to keep track of the time."

"You just leave the company to Yuanyuan and the others. You're so free with your time, so how can you not keep track of time?"

"I'm not free. I got a new job."

"Oh?" Ji Qingyan's interest was piqued. She looked at Lin Yi curiously. "What new job did you get this time?"

"I joined Huashan Hospital and became a doctor."

"Ah!"

Ji Qingyan raised her voice. "You are going to be a doctor?"

"Yeah, is there a need to give such a big reaction?"

"I'm already being very calm," Ji Qingyan said.

"I can understand when you went to school to be a teacher, but it's unbelievable that you are now becoming a doctor."

"I can't help it. Who asked me to be so omnipotent?"

"Keep bragging. I think you're actually joining the hospital to do logistics."

"How is that possible? I'm applying to be a clinical doctor, and it's sad that you actually don't believe in my ability."

"The main issue is that you are trying so many fields. Moreover, being a doctor requires a very high level of professional knowledge. How am I supposed to believe you?"

"Do you want me to show you?"

"Sure, let me see what you're capable of. I don't want you to lose face at the hospital, otherwise I'll lose face too."

"I'm good at gynecological diseases. Let me check you right now to see if there are any lumps."

Ji Qingyan paused. "Lin Yi, you're a hooligan and a bully."

"It's just a precaution. Don't worry, I'm a professional. It won't hurt at all."

"Dream on. Hmph!"

Pushing Lin Yi aside, Ji Qingyan stood up. "I can't believe you're going to the hospital to become a doctor. Which department exactly?"

"Is that important?"

"Of course. If you dare to become a gynecologist, I won't stay with you anymore."

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. "So that's what you care about."

"I don't care. I already told you, you can join any department except the gynecology department." 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

After getting a positive answer from Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan nodded in satisfaction and went to the bathroom on the second floor to take a shower.

In reality, Lin Yi himself didn't know which department he would be assigned to.

The job was arranged by the system, and he had to report to the hospital before he could find out what he would be doing.

Fortunately, he had the sage's wisdom, so he could deal with patients from different departments easily.

However, in his current state, he would be a piece of trash if he immediately started working.

At the end of the day, it wasn't up to him to decide what he could do,and he it still depended on what reward the system gave him.

However, Lin Yi felt that it was a bit too hasty to start experiencing the profession of a doctor in just a week.

Some patients even needed more than a week to stay in the hospital, receive their check-up, go through surgery, and recover.

It didn't matter to him, but leaving to experience another profession after a week was the most irresponsible thing he could do to a patient.

Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa, thinking about his new job.

He was looking forward to every new career the system gave him.

However, being a doctor was too special, and it depended on the situation.

After thinking about these things, Lin Yi went upstairs to take a shower and rest.

The next morning, JI Qingyan woke up very early to make breakfast.

It seemed to have become a habit for her to make breakfast when she was with Lin Yi.

However, this was only limited to breakfast. Her lunch and dinner were still rubbish.

Lin Yi didn't leave after dropping Ji Qingyan off at the company because he didn't need to drive anymore. He was going to join the bidding with her.

Around ten in the morning, just as Ji Qingyan was making the final preparations for the bid, her secretary walked in from outside.

The female secretary was used to seeing Lin Yi.

She also knew that the relationship between Lin Yi and the CEO had always been vague.

"President Ji, I asked around and found out that Tianhong Group from Zhonghai is also participating in the bid."

"Tianhong Group?" Lin Yi muttered, "Is it that stupid company that Zhao Zhengyang is from?"

Chapter 372

The female secretary was taken aback. She didn't think that Lin Yi would know of Tianhong.

"It's that Tianhong Group." The female secretary said:

"But this time, Zhao Zhengyang didn't invest as the general manager of Tianhong Group. Instead, he used his company, Tianzheng, to bid."

"He changed companies."

Ji Qingyan muttered, "What he did is not beneficial to their bid."

In the construction industry, reputation was very important.

Tianhong Group, a behemoth that had stood tall in Zhonghai for decades, had nothing to prove in terms of both reputation and ability.

Zhao Zhengyang's approach was indeed a little strange. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

"Could this be a joint bid led by Zhao Zhengyang?"

"It's possible."

Ji Qingyan thought of this possibility as well. "If our guess is true, it'll be even harder to handle. No one is willing to give up short-term gains for their long-term success."

Zhao Zhengyang was willing to give up the golden name of the Tianhong Group, which meant that he had confidence in winning the bid.

From the looks of it, Chaoyang Group was at a huge disadvantage.

"Apart from the Tianzheng group, are there any other bidders?" Lin Yi asked.

"The Qin family's Hanhai Group and Far East Group are also participating in this bid."

"Even the Qin family is participating."

Hearing these names, Lin Yi realized that the bid this time was really big. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many people.

The Qin family's Hanhai Group, Zhao Zhengyang's Tianzheng, and Far East group that had sold him the Twin Towers.

In front of these giants, Chaoyang Group was insignificant.

"I heard that the Qin family is also very serious about this bid. With the participation of these three giants, the chances of us winning the bid are not high."

Chaoyang Group might have had the ability to handle such a big project, but in terms of connections, they were far too lacking.

This would also directly influence whether or not they could win the bid.

This also meant that the hard work over the past month was likely to go down the drain.

"What big three?" Lin Yi said with a smile. "Zhao Zhengyang is an idiot. There's no need to count him."

Ji Qingyan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Lin Yi really didn't consider Zhao Zhengyang an opponent.

"Let's go and see the situation first," Ji Qingyan said.

"Compared to them, we have the advantage in terms of our financial offer. It's not like we don't have a chance at all."

Ji Qingyan pondered for a moment, "Tell the finance, prepare some checks for me, one for 1 million, two for 500,000, and five for 200,000. I will use it later."

"Got it, President Ji."

"Isn't it a little late to give gifts now?" Lin Yi asked after the secretary left.

"It's better to be prepared." Ji Qingyan said with a smile. "If we can buy someone lunch, the chances of us winning the bid will be higher."

"Your routine is nothing new, and there is nothing special about it."

"Aiya, just prepare some food for us." Ji Qingyan stood up and pushed Lin Yi into the kitchen. "You cook, i'll be your assistant."

"You're a female CEO. Why are you focusing on cooking instead of learning about how to win auctions effectively? Are you trying to run the company into the ground?"

"Yeah, when I lose my job, we'll find an alley to sell egg fried rice together."

Lin Yi smiled and didn't say anything. He started working on lunch with Ji Qingyan, and at that moment, felt like a husband and wife working together.

After lunch, Ji Qingyan took the bidding documents and went to the city hall along with Lin Yi.

Just as they parked the car, they saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked next to them.

"It looks like that idiot Zhao Zhengyang's car," Lin Yi muttered.

The two opened the car door and saw Zhao Zhengyang and Qu Nan coming down.

Lin Yi pulled back his hand and hugged Ji Qingyan's waist. The latter looked at Lin Yi but didn't say anything.

Zhao Zhengyang's face darkened. He couldn't hide his expression.

"Mr. Lin, why are you acting like this? It's like you've never seen a woman before."

"I've seen a woman before, but I've never seen one this beautiful. It's a pity that President Zhao doesn't have a chance with her."

"Ha, I'm not interested in her anymore. You should keep her for yourself."

"What's wrong? Do you have a new lover?" Lin Yi laughed.

"What's her name? Do you need me to test her out? You can't be too cautious when it comes to these issues."

"Haha, I admit that I can't win against you, but I also don't want to compete with you in this regard." Zhao Zhengyang said.

"As for this bid, I advise you not to bother joining. You won't stand a chance of winning."

Lin Yi shrugged. "You said the same thing about the lawsuit."

Zhao Zhengyang narrowed his eyes, his face cold.

"I was careless last time, but this time, you won't stand a chance."

"Then let's wait and see."

As he spoke, Lin Yi hugged Ji Qingyan's waist and walked toward the hall.

"Director Zhao, after this auction, we should give him a lesson."

"Yeah, we can't do it the gently, let's do it the hard way!"

Zhao Zhengyang looked at the time and said, "Let's go. It's almost time. I still need to talk to Mayor Liang about the bidding. I want to really secure the project. Both the Qin family and the Far East Group will have no choice but to back down."

"Director Zhao, I heard that the newly appointed Mayor Liang has an excellent appearance and figure. Moreover, she's from Yanjing. Besides her current identity, the family behind her will probably be even more terrifying."

"Do you even need to say that? She's already in a high position at such a young age. Moreover, she focuses on the economy. We can't win just by being terrifying anymore," Zhao Zhengyang said.

"But I'm guessing that she's here to build her reputation. She probably won't be staying long."

Qu Nan chuckled. "So you have to act quickly."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Then I'll get someone to prepare the roses."

At that moment, a rumbling sound could be heard. A black Bentley drove over from afar.

The two of them subconsciously looked over. Qu Nan said, "Director Zhao, that seems to be Wang Mazi's car."

"Why are you speaking in that tone? He's our partner after all."

Soon, the black Bentley stopped in front of the two of them.

Ma Zi Wang, Yan Biao, and Ao Zhang got out of the car one after another.

"Uncle Wang, you're just in time. Let's go in together," Zhao Zhengyang said politely.

"Actually, I arrived a long time ago, but I saw that you were chatting with someone else, so I didn't come over immediately," Wang Mazi said.

"Zhengyang, you know Lin Yi too?"

Zhengyang and Qu Nan looked at each other. "Uncle Wang, you know Lin Yi too?"

"Not only do I know him, but I have a grudge against him," Wang Mazi said coldly.

"What's going on? Tell me, I have a grudge against him too."

Wang Mazi shot Zhang Ao a look. Apart from his usual tattoo, there was also an irregular scar on his body.

"What's going on?"

"A month ago, we had a conflict at the nightclub. The scar on my body was caused by Lin Yi," Zhang Ao said with a cold face.

Chapter 373

"No way."

Zhao Zhengyang was surprised. "I know how strong Zhang Bro is very well. How could he stab you? Your strength isn't something an ordinary person can rival."

"I underestimated him. He's very skilled. I'm not his match."

Zhao Zhengyang frowned. He now had a new understanding of Lin Yi's strength.

Zhang Ao was a famous fighter under Wang Mazi, stronger even than Wang Mazi's own bodyguard, but even so, he was still beaten up by Lin Yi.

From the looks of it, Lin Yi's strength was nothing to be scoffed at.

He was stronger than Zhao Zhengyang had imagined!

"Uncle Wang, it's been so long, and he's still alive and kicking. Haven't you thought of making a move? This doesn't seem like your usual style," Zhao Zhengyang said.

"I've wanted to make a move a long time ago, but I was forced to bide my time. I was afraid that it would affect the project this time, so I simply suppressed it. I need to wait until the bidding is over before I could settle things with him."

"Haha, then today is really killing two birds with one stone," said Zhao Zhengyang. "After the bidding is over, we'll go deal with him."

"I've been waiting for this for a long time. The day has finally arrived."

…

As the bidding was about to begin, the waiting hall in the city bidding center was filled with people.

Ji Qingyan greeted some of her old acquaintances and prepared to find a place to wait for the bidding to begin.

However, there were too many people coming here to join the bidding, so it was difficult for them to find an empty seat, let alone two.

"Old Lin, you're here to bid too."

Qin Han walked over when he saw Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan. "Don't just stand there. I'll take you to the VIP room."

"There's a VIP room in a place like this?" Lin Yi asked.

"The VIP room was prepared impromptu," Qin Han said with a smile.

"We have a very good relationship with the people working here. They reserved a small conference room for us. People like us who are famous usually go there to wait for the bidding to start."

"You sure know how to act cool. People like you without a handsome face or body ought to go straight to the crematorium instead of hiding in rooms like this."

Lin Yi said with a smile

"I think you're just jealous."

Qin Han laughed out loud as he brought Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan to a small conference room not far away.

The seats were made of leather and some tea had even been prepared. The treatment here was many levels higher than what one would experience outside.

Ji Qingyan felt a little sad when she saw this scene.

The outside hall was normally quite nice by her standards.

However, when compared to this room, there was an obvious difference in level.

Just now, the friends she had greeted were all worth billions, and their overall strength was comparable to that of Chaoyang Group. However, they were all sitting on benches similar to if they were in a park, carefully and nervously waiting for the bidding to open.

However, the treatment was different at Qin Han's level.

Moreover, this was the Zhonghai City Bidding Centre, an official government organization.

If it were a private organization, they would have long been divided into different classes.

The difference would be even more obvious then.

However, Ji Qingyan quickly came to her senses. With her current level, she might never have been able to enter this place.

However, Lin Yi definitely was qualified enough, so she didn't care.

"President Lin is here!"

Seeing Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan walk in, a middle-aged man came over to greet them.

Lin Yi still remembered the person who spoke. It was the vice president of Far East Group, Luo Wan.

He was the one who sold him the Twin Towers.

"Nice to meet you, Director Luo." Lin Yi greeted with a smile.

" President Lin, I thought Far East Group still stood a chance today, but now that your Lingyun Group is here, it looks like we have no chance at all."

"Director Luo, you've misunderstood. This time, it's not our Lingyun Group who is bidding, it's my girlfriend's Chaoyang Group."

Ji Qingyan looked embarrassed. I haven't even agreed to the relationship yet, but you're already spouting nonsense.

Luo Wan revealed an intriguing smile.

"President Ji is a well-known beauty in the circle. I didn't expect you to be together with Mr. Lin. What a perfect match. Congratulations."

Ji Qingyan's face was flushed with shyness. She appeared as charming as a young girl at this moment.

"Director Luo, you flatter me." Ji Qingyan said gently and magnanimously, "I hope you can show mercy and not make us lose too badly."

"With President Lin's support, Chaoyang Group will definitely win the bid this time. I should be the one saying that."

"Director Luo, look at what you're saying. Why are you still trying to boost other people's morale at the expense of your own reputation?" Qin Han ridiculed.

"Old Lin's Lingyun Group is indeed a little awesome, but you're not bad either. It will be a good competition."

"Young Master Qin, you really know how to make fun of us."Luo Wan smiled and said.

"President Lin spent 18 billion to purchase the Twin Towers in one go. Our Far East Group can't compete with them financially."

"That's a real problem," Qin Han said.

"Old Lin, we have a good relationship, but business is business. I won't let you win this, or my father will skin me alive."

"It's okay. There's no father or son relationship in business. Even if I lose to you this time, I won't hold any grudges." Lin Yi patted Qin Han on the shoulder. "Good luck. I have faith in you."

"F*ck! You're teasing me again."

The three of them chatted for a while before sitting in different seats.

Although they were familiar with each other, they were all opponents fighting to secure this bid, so they had to make their relationship clear.

Ji Qingyan was on the phone, and Lin Yi glanced at the contact she was calling. He saw the name 'Mayor Liang', and became suspicious.

Could Liang Ruoxu be the mastermind behind this project?

If that was the case, the project would be easy to secure.

However, Ji Qingyan's call didn't go through, and Liang Ruoxu hung up on her.

A few seconds later, Ji Qingyan called Liang Ruoxu again. It was the same as before, and she hung up after a few seconds.

"What's wrong? She isn't picking up?"

"Maybe she didn't pick up my call to avoid suspicion. The check might not have any use to us anymore."

With that, she picked up her phone again and prepared to call the others.

"Why are you still calling her if she's not picking up?"

"There are other leaders besides her. As long as we can give the money, they'll take extra care of us during the bidding evaluation. It's not strange for people to be courteous to their stronger bidders."

"You're wrong to think that way." Lin Yi said. "Instead of giving Liang Ruoxu one million, why not give her three million? You have to give the person the right gift."

"But I can't even see her face."

"Don't worry, I'll go out and see if I can find her people." 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"You want to go? Why don't I go?"

"It's not suitable for you to go. You're the boss of Chaoyang Group. If someone with bad intentions sees you together, even if you win the bid, they'll make a big deal out of it. There's even the possibility that you might lose the bid altogether. That's the reason for her trying to avoid suspicion as well."

"Alright, but don't force it," Ji Qingyan said. "There are so many people involved. It's only natural if we don't win the bid."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Yi patted Ji Qingyan's shoulder, signaling her to be at ease. Then, he walked out alone.

After leaving the small meeting room, Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Liang Ruoxu.

"Are you in the bidding hall?"

Liang Ruoxu replied quickly.

"How did you know?"

"Which room are you in? I have something to tell you."

"Room 408, but don't come in. Let me know when you get here. There's someone in the office."

"You can come out in five minutes. I'm heading over to you now."

"Okay."

Lin Yi put his phone back into his pocket and saw Qin Han following him.

"Old Lin, where are you going? You're not thinking of using the back door, are you?" Qin Han asked

"You're like my little follower."

"The Qin family is determined to win this project. We have to follow closely so you don't play any tricks under the table."

"F*ck, what is wrong with you?"

Lin Yi had no choice but to let Qin Han follow him.

"Old Lin, I'd advise you to cease your dirty thoughts. Mayor Liang, who's in charge of this project, isn't an ordinary person. She's cold and aloof, and her temper is well known. Seducing her won't work at all. Be careful that you don't end up with a pile of rice on your head." Qin Han said

"Why would you curse me like that?" Lin Yi said.

"I'm just reminding you, Bro. I don't want to see you get embarrassed." Qin Han said

The two of them went upstairs together. Just as they turned the stairs, they both stopped. Qin Han said,

"Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that Zhao Zhengyang?"

Chapter 374

"Judging from his behavior, he's probably here to pull some strings," Qin Han cursed again. "But he's holding a bouquet of roses in his hand. What is the meaning of this?"

"Maybe he's here to court someone," Lin Yi said with a smile. "That's what a showoff like him likes to do."

"With his pretentious personality, any woman with a bit of sense wouldn't fall for him."

"Agreed +1"

Zhao Zhengyang stood up when he saw Lin Yi and Qin Han walking over.

"I'm sorry but you're late." Zhao Zhengyang shrugged.

"What happened? Did you ask Mayor Liang out?" Qin Han asked,

"No, I just got here first. There's always a first come, first served rule, isn't there?"

"At least you have some self-awareness. I thought you were going to be a lap dog and try chasing after her," Qin Han said sarcastically.

"Why? Are you jealous?" Zhao Zhengyang smiled. "With our Zhao family's size in Zhonghai and even Huaxia, can't I go after her?"

"You're so ugly, yet you still have the nerve to say that?"

"At our level, do you think dating is a game?" Zhao Zhengyang said, "It's important to be of equal status."

"Of equal status? What? Do you think our Qin family's influence is just for show?"

"You'll find out later whether it is just for show."

Kacha.

Just as the two were arguing, the door to Room 408 was pushed open.

Liang Ruoxu, who was wearing a black uniform, walked out of the office and saw Lin Yi at first glance.

However, Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang's presence surprised her slightly.

Why were there so many people here?

Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang were both impressed by Liang Ruoxu's cold appearance.

Apart from Ji Qingyan, there wasn't anyone else who could compete with her.

"Mayor Liang, I prepared this for you…"

"Um, can you give way? She's here to see me."

Zhao Zhengyang didn't finish his sentence before Lin Yi walked over and grabbed her waist before walking away from them.

"F*ck!"

Qin Han was dumbfounded. What the f*ck was going on?

Zhao Zhengyang was also dumbfounded.

She was actually taken down?

When did this happen?

Seeing Lin Yi disappear from in front of him with Liang Ruoxu in his arms, Qin Han took his phone and left silently.

"Dad, the bid is over."

"Over? It's only a few hours and the bidding is already done?"

"No, it's been internally decided."

"Ridiculous, even our Qin family couldn't secure the bid through private means. Who has the ability to do so? Liang Ruoxu is a by the books kind of person."

"Lin Yi got Liang Ruoxu."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Your brother… He's really something else."

…

Liang Ruoxu panicked at first, not expecting Lin Yi to be so bold.

"What are you doing?!" Liang Ruoxu said coldly, trying to escape from Lin Yi's grip.

"Just cooperate," Lin Yi said with a smile. "That sand sculpture outside was chasing after you with some roses. I had to make him back off."

"Do you think I need your help with something like this?" Liang Ruoxu was obviously ungrateful.

"Of course, there are thousands of sand sculptures like him. You can't handle them alone."

"But we're already at the staircase. Why are you still hugging me?"

"Eh, it's my occupational disease," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me? Do you want a project to be approved or do you want to get a loan?"

"I have enough money, and I'm not looking to get anything approved," Lin Yi said.

"I'm here to bid. Please give Chaoyang Group the project through the backdoor. I'm sure there'll be no problems in terms of our qualifications and reputation, so I'll definitely be able to complete the task quickly and efficiently. However, can you help me with the bidding?"

"Do you think I'm a money-grubber? Or do you think that with our relationship, I'll be able to use my official position for personal gain?"

"That's the rules of the game here in Huaxia," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"You're the youngest person I've ever met in this position, and everyone knows how this works. I'm sure that you're here to gild your reputation, but you're still just a deputy. Give me some time, and I'll let you get promoted in two years."

Lin Yi's courage and sharp insight reminded Liang Ruoxu how terrifying the inner workings of the human mind could be.

Even though Liang Ruoxu was adamant in claiming that she would never commit jobbery, but perhaps her reaching her current position was the biggest act of jobbery.

"Is that all? Do you have anything else to tell me?" Liang Ruoxu asked with a stern expression.

"Uh…" Lin Yi paused for a second, pretending to be deep in thought. "Your waist's pretty soft, so there should be a lot of meat there."

Lin Yi left quickly as he spoke, or else he'd be hacked to death.

Meanwhile, Liang Ruoxu stood rooted in place, thinking about something.

'Is there a lot of meat?'

…

Lin Yi returned to the small meeting room after talking to Liang Ruoxu and found Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang there.

Qin Han didn't really care. It didn't matter if he missed out on this opportunity, and it wouldn't greatly affect the Qin family's business.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhengyang's face didn't look too good. There was even a hint of green on it.

"Mr. Lin, you're really something. You actually hooked up with Mayor Liang. I feel bad for President Ji."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Are you trying to deny it? Are you afraid that President Ji will find out that you're two-timing?"

Ji Qingyan didn't understand what was going on. What was Lin Yi doing?

"President Ji, I just saw Lin Yi and Mayor Liang leave with their arms around each other's shoulders. It looks like you weren't aware." Zhao Zhengyang gloated.

"President Zhao, it's meaningless for you to say such things."J i Qingyan said with a cold face.

"Lin Yi doesn't even know who Mayor Liang is, yet you're saying such slander. It's ridiculous."

Qin Han couldn't help but give Lin Yi a thumbs up. Old Lin was so awesome!

He didn't even need to explain himself. President Ji didn't believe Zhao Zhengyang at all.

He was looking for a woman like this too!

Lin Yi shrugged at Qin Han, acting very pretentiously.

"President Ji, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, do you think I would say something like this? Don't you trust mycharacter?"

"I don't."

From Ji Qingyan's point of view, Zhao Zhengyang's words were pure slander!

How could two people who didn't know each other get together?

Even he they wanted to tarnish Lin Yi's reputation, he had to come up with a better lie.

His methods were too low.

"Alright, don't bother with him anymore. A mad dog like him will bite anyone he sees. Let's just do our own thing," Lin Yi comforted.

"I hate people like him the most."

"I can't help it. I'm too outstanding, so it's normal for people to be jealous of me."

"Haha, Mr. Lin is indeed outstanding. He's so outstanding that he even dares to touch my men. The younger generation is really awesome."

Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan, and Qin Han turned back when they heard the sudden voice.

They were surprised to see a middle-aged man wearing a linen shirt coming in from outside.

"Wang Mazi, you are here too!"

Chapter 375

"Young Master Qin, what a coincidence," Wang Mazi said.

"The municipal tender project has nothing to do with you, right?" Qin Han said.

"Indeed, it initially had nothing to do with me, but I find this project pretty attractive, so I'm cooperating with Director Zhao to develop it."

"You still want to do real estate? Do you think you are the right person for the job?"

Wang Mazii wasn't angry at all but instead smiled.

"Of all the high-end real estate developers out there these days, how many of them are clean? It's only reasonable for us to get involved."

Qin Han shrugged. "I can't control you, but I've already told Zhang Ao everything I needed to say. Lin Yi is my brother, so you'd better set aside those evil thoughts. We're all businessmen, and we're here for money. Don't make things unpleasant."

Hearing that, Ji Qingyan was surprised.

She never thought that Lin Yi would get involved with these hooligans.

Sensing Ji Qingyan's mood change, Lin Yi patted her shoulder, telling her to relax.

"The bidding is about to start. Go get ready, don't waste time."

Ji Qingyan grabbed Lin Yi's hand. "What about you?"

"I'll come find you after I'm done with this."

"Come with me. Don't stay here."

"Old Qin is here. How can I leave him behind?" Lin Yi gave her a relaxed look. "Just continue with the bid normally. Don't worry about me. Go."

"Be careful then."

Because of his relationship with Qin Han, Ji Qingyan knew that she wouldn't be able to bring Lin Yi away.

However, she wasn't too worried about Lin Yi's safety.

This was the city's bidding hall, which was official government property. No matter how bold these people were, they wouldn't dare to make a move here. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Okay, go."

Lin Yi looked at Luo Wan, who was sitting in the corner, and smiled. "Director Luo, the bidding is about to start. You guys should go out and prepare for it."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go out with President Ji."

Luo Wan was a proper businessman. He had never experienced anything like this before.

President Lin was really something.

He had a feud with Zhao Zhengyang and Wang Mazi. If word got out, it would be enough to cause a stir in Zhonghai.

Everyone who had nothing to do with the matter walked out of the meeting room. After this, Wang Mazi put his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Han.

"You can ask me not to pursue this matter, but are you asking me to let Zhang Ao's injuries go just like that?"

"He ran over to show off and help Li Qingfeng settle a score. He was stabbed because he wasn't capable enough, and now you guys are here to take revenge. What are you doing now by taking advantage of your superior numbers to bully those smaller than you?"

"This is the rule of the underworld. From the beginning to the end, this is how we do things."

"Alright, let's do things according to the rules of the underworld, then." Qin Han pointed at Wang Mazi and said,

"I'll let you include Zhao Zhengyang. I'll let you even decide on the place to have the fight. Anyone who doesn't show up will be branded a coward."

"Look at how this matter has developed." Wang Mazi chuckled and said,

"We're already so old, so who would still want fight and kill? The underworld has become a lot more civil now."

"Civil?" Qin Han smiled. "If you're talking to me about civility, it means that you haven't risen high enough."

Wang Mazi's face darkened. Previously, he could still face Qin Han as an elder.

However when he heard the word 'haven't risen high enough', he could not control his emotions.

"I, Wang Mazi, have been in this world for so many years. Isn't it ridiculous for you to say that I don't understand the ways of the world?"

Qin Han leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed.

"We're not even in the same class. Why are you discussing the civility with me? Only when two parties are evenly matched do you start discussing such things. If you meet someone of a higher level, do you think they'd be willing to grant you such mercy?"

"But at the very least, the Qin family hasn't reached that level yet."

"I'll repeat what I said just now. If you want revenge, we will fight face to face. If you do anything sneaky in the dark, I'll arrange to take care of your whole family."

"Who the hell do you think you are talking to…"

"Get lost."

Zhang Ao's scolding stopped abruptly at Lin Yi's words. He didn't dare to say another word.

"Haha…"

Wang Mazi laughed dryly. "We're here to bid today, not to fight. We'll talk about these trivial matters later. I have plenty of time anyway."

"Then we'll waste it slowly," Qin Han said playfully. "But I suggest you guys don't join this bid. You won't enjoy any success."

"What does he mean by that?" Wang Mazi looked at Zhao Zhengyang, wanting to know what was going on.

The latter whispered in his ear a few times, and his expression changed. Finally, he left the small meeting room with a cold face.

"What a bunch of idiots," Qin Han cursed.

"What's the point of being so arrogant? It's not worth it." Lin Yi patted Qin Han's shoulder. "Let's get Old Liang and Old Gao together for dinner tonight."

"Just for dinner?"

"Then what else were you thinking?"

"We should at least have a swimsuit party. It'll be more exciting that way."

"F*ck…"

Three hours later, Ji Qingyan walked in excitedly. "Lin Yi, we won the bid!"

Qin Han sighed silently.

'Your man even won over Liang Ruoxu. It'd be weird if you didn't secure the project.'

However, after thinking about it, he found this matter really infuriating.

A mistress giving a project to her first wife was really f*cking shady business. The benefits would be kept completely internal.

"See, I told you that you would win the bid."

"Okay, okay, okay. You're the best." Ji Qingyan said delightedly, "As a reward, I'll cook dinner for you tonight."

"Cough, cough, cough…"

Qin Han coughed lightly. "Old Lin, didn't you say that you'd treat me to dinner tonight? I think the weather's pretty good today, so let's do it today."

"You guys are such jokers…"

"What are you talking about?" Ji Qingyan stopped them. "If you guys don't mind, come with us. We can also invite Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan. It'll be more lively with more people."

Earlier at Xinhua Airport, Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan had helped Lin Yi and herself out of trouble.

Now that they had the chance, they had to repay them.

"It's settled then."

The group returned to Jiuzhou Pavillion later, but they had barbecued meat for dinner instead of making Ji Qingyan cook.

Ji Qingyan went back to rest after ten at night.

Lin Yi, Qin Han, and the others drank until dawn before ending the engagement.

The next morning, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan got up and prepared to go to work.

Qin Han and the others were still sleeping soundly. Lin Yi ignored them and let them continue resting.

"Doctor Lin, it's your first day on the job. I won't make you send me off," Ji Qingyan said playfully. "It's won't be good if you're late."

"That works for me. Pick a car from the garage."

Ji Qingyan glanced at the garage. "I'll drive a Bentley, but you shouldn't drive a luxury car. It'll be too eye-catching. I'll find some time to buy you an ordinary car."

"I don't care what I drive. I don't need to buy a car. I'm already quite comfortable in my Shari." Lin Yi said with a smile.

The two drove to work separately after assigning the cars.

As the best hospital in Zhonghai, Huashan Hospital was naturally quite high-class.

Lin Yi sighed as well. He'd finally found himself a more awesome job.

"What's going on?"

He was walking past a market when he saw a large group of people blocking the road.

There wasn't even enough space for a bicycle to pass through, let alone Lin Yi's Shari.

Lin Yi got out of the car and walked toward the crowd. He wanted to see what was going on.

"Can someone help us? My grandfather suddenly has a stomachache and can't stand up anymore."

Just as he walked over, he saw a little girl carrying a schoolbag and crying.

Beside her was a pale-faced old man with a pained expression, as if his life was in imminent danger.

"Don't move, let me take a look!"

Just as everyone was thinking of helping but was unsure of how to do so, a young man rushed out from the crowd.

The man was about twenty years old. He had short hair, eyes, and a scholarly air about him.

"Big Brother, do you have a way to cure my grandfather?" The girl cried.

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor from Huashan Hospital. Just leave it to me, there won't be any problems."

"A doctor from Huashan Hospital!"

"This girl is really lucky. Huashan Hospital is the best hospital in Zhonghai, and the doctors there are all extraordinary. Her grandfather will be okay this time."

Lin Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet a colleague here.

"Thank you, Big Brother."

The bespectacled man was very professional. He first touched the old man's abdomen and appendix, then looked at his eyelids and tongue. Finally, he said seriously,

"This is acute appendicitis. We have to send him to the hospital quickly. If we are late, his life will be in danger!"

"What?! Acute appendicitis!"

The little girl cried even harder and panicked.

It was normal for a young girl like her to panic when faced with such a situation.

"Acute appendicitis is life-threatening. There's no time to wait for the ambulance."

"Sigh, how pitiful. He actually fell ill in such a place. He's too unlucky."

"Alright, stop talking for now. Since we can't wait for an ambulance, we'll borrow a nearby car and bring the old man there ourselves," the bespectacled man said hurriedly.

Hearing this, everyone realized that this would be much more effective than an ambulance.

Then, everyone turned their attention to Lin Yi. Because this was a vegetable market, no other car could be reached at this time. At this moment, only his car could be used.

"Kid, I need your car. Take this old man to the hospital!"

The bespectacled man was about to help the old man up and into Lin Yi's car.

"Why do you need to get into my car?"

Chapter 376

Lin Yi's words stunned everyone present.

Wasn't it only right to lend a helping hand when someone needed help?

"Kid, don't you have any morals? This old gentleman has acute appendicitis, and you won't even let us borrow your car!" The bespectacled man said angrily.

"Don't worry, I won't ask for a discounted fare, and I'll even pay you double!"

"I'm not short of money."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the bespectacled man glanced back and said disdainfully.

"Are you just afraid of dirtying your car? What's so great about a shabby Shari? What's wrong with letting someone else sit in it?!"

Seeing Lin Yi's indifference, the people around echoed.

"People nowadays really don't have any sense of social responsibility at all. How can they just turn a blind eye to something like this?"

"After they become successful, they don't even want to repay society. They're really hopeless!"

"Exactly. In my opinion, people like him who don't have any sense of social responsibility should be charged!"

"Not only should they be charged, but they should also be fined heavily. They should all be fined until all their money is gone, and then it should be given to the poor!"

Everyone pointed at Lin Yi one after another, and the man with the glasses looked pleased as if he had found a way to punish Lin Yi.

"Kid, you heard it yourself. If you continue to act like this, you might drown in saliva!"

The man with the glasses didn't seem to be satisfied and continued.

"Also, this old man has acute appendicitis, and if his life is in danger. If something really happens, you will be held fully responsible!"

Lin Yi laughed in anger.

"This is the first time I've seen someone talk about moral kidnapping in such a dignified manner. Which law in the country says that you have to save someone when they're at death's door? You're useless, and yet you're blaming others for being rich?"

"I'm not your father, and you're not my son. Helping you is a favor, but my choice to do so is my right. What right do you have to order me around?"

The bespectacled man was dumbfounded by Lin Yi's continuous questions.

He didn't expect this guy to be so sharp-tongued!

"Stop talking nonsense. It's your fault that he can't be saved. When the time comes, I'll post this on Weibo and let all the people of Huaxia blame you!"

"You keep saying that I'm not saving him. I'd really like to know, what right do you have to say that he's dying in the first place?" Lin Yi said.

"Or rather, who told you that he has acute appendicitis?" The bespectacled man asked

"Are you kidding me? I've already diagnosed him. There's no way I'm wrong. It's clearly the symptoms of acute appendicitis!" The bespectacled man explained loudly.

"What's wrong with this guy? He's driving a broken down Shari, and yet, he's questioning a doctor from Huashan Hospital?"

"Common diseases like acute appendicitis have been shown on TV before. Even a middle-aged woman like me can tell that these are the symptoms of acute appendicitis, let alone a professional doctor. Despite this, he's still saying that it's not the case. He's clearly not trying to help and is looking for an excuse."

"I agree. People nowadays look pretty good, but their bones are rotten. They have no conscience at all."

Lin Yi shrugged and said,

"Since you say it's appendicitis, then treat it as appendicitis. I can bring him along, but I'll have to trouble you to be conscientious and help him raise some medical fees. With Huashan Hospital's standards, an appendicitis surgery costs about twenty thousand yuan. Each of you can donate a small amount."

The little girl looked at the people around her with hope in her eyes.

"Uncles and Aunties, I beg you to lend me some money. My family background is not bad. When the time comes, leave your names and I'll return the money to you."

"This…"

The people around her subconsciously stepped back, their eyes filled with wariness.

"I don't have any money in my pocket. Don't look at me like that."

"I still have to use my money to buy a house for my son. I can't lend you anything."

"This might be the case, but when the time comes to ask for the repayment, who will return it?"

"Uncle, Auntie, please," the little girl cried. "When my grandfather recovers, I'll tell my parents to return the money to you."

"You'd better not promise this. You're simply asking for too much. Our money didn't fall from the sky."

"Miss, don't ask these people. Ask the uncle who is treating your grandfather. He's the most responsible person here, and saving lives is a doctor's duty. He'll definitely help you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Uncle, can you help me?"

"This…"

The bespectacled man was speechless.

Twenty thousand yuan wasn't a small amount. If he lent her money, what would he do if they didn't return it?

There were too many cases like this in the hospital. He couldn't take the risk.

"Uncle doesn't have that much money."

"No money? That can't be right, right?" Lin Yi said.

"I saw your watch. It's an Omega. It's worth a lot of money if you pawn it. It's your duty to save lives, even so, you're not even willing to help them, sigh…"

Damn it!

The bespectacled man was so angry that he wanted to curse!

You're f*cking toying with me!

Lin Yi shrugged. "You guys were going on and on preaching about my morals. When it's your turn to contribute, each and every one of you ran faster than a rabbit. It's not like I'm asking you to pay for all of it. Can't you even loan them a few hundred dollars?"

No one said a word. They all looked at Lin Yi awkwardly, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.

"Stop standing there and criticizing us!" The bespectacled man shouted. "If you're so capable, how about you lend them the money?"

The little girl looked at Lin Yi with pleading eyes.

"Big Brother, please help me. If you don't send my grandfather to the hospital, his life will be in danger."

Lin Yi patted the little girl's head. "Don't worry, your grandfather's life won't be in danger."

"Why won't he be in danger? Acute appendicitis…"

"Don't listen to him," Lin Yi said.

"He ate the wrong thing this morning. There's gas in his stomach. It's not acute appendicitis at all."

"You're saying he ate the wrong thing?!"

The bespectacled man raised his voice and confronted Lin Yi.

"Kid, I think you just don't want to lend them money, so just make up an excuse to lie to them!"

"Yeah, that must be it!" The crowd chimed in.

"Look at him, he's just a worker. He must be afraid of being ripped off, that's why he's making up this excuse to escape the situation!"

"Sigh, the world is really getting worse. He doesn't even have moral integrity anymore."

"He's doubting the standards of the doctors in Huashan Hospital. What a joke!"

The people who were watching Lin Yi all shared their own complaints. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Now that they had found a place to vent their anger, they started scolding Lin Yi, trying to get back at him after getting embarrassed.

Lin Yi ignored them and took out 100 yuan, handing it to the little girl.

"Go to the pharmacy next door and buy lactic acid bacteria and galactosidase. Hurry up."

"Got it, Big Brother."

The little girl took Lin Yi's money and rushed to the pharmacy. She bought the medicine back in less than two minutes.

"Give me the water bottle in your bag."

"Here."

Lin Yi took out two pills and fed them to the old man. Then, he rubbed the old man's abdomen clockwise for a while.

"Burp, burp, burp…"

After about half an hour, the old man burped a few times. His face was much better than before, and he was not as pale as before.

After another half a minute, the old man, who was almost unconscious, woke up on his own!

His pale face returned to normal, and he now like a normal person.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you okay now?" The little girl asked nervously.

"I feel much better now. I'm fine now. This little brother is the best. He can tell that I ate something bad with just one look."

The people standing around were stunned when they heard that.

It… It really was just a case of bad digestion!

"But this big brother said that you have acute appendicitis."

The old man looked at the bespectacled man. "This guy is so unprofessional, and he probably always jumps to conclusions. Whoever gets him as a doctor him will be really unlucky."

Lin Yi stood to the side and looked at the others.

"Didn't you guys agree that he had acute appendicitis? Now that his symptoms have improved, I'm guessing you still want to him for surgery."

Chapter 377

"This…"

The people surrounding Lin Yi were all quiet and ashamed.

"Grandpa, are you really okay?"

"Don't you want me to be okay?"

"I…"

The bespectacled man was speechless. He didn't even know how to deal with such an awkward situation.

It was simply too embarrassing.

"He even said that he was a professional doctor, but he can't even differentiate between flatulence and appendicitis. His standard is too amateurish."

"He confidently proclamed that he is a doctor of Huashan Hospital, but he's not even able to identify this. I don't dare to go to Huashan Hospital in the future."

"With his standards, he probably isn't even as good as a doctor from an illegal clinic. He is really a disgrace to Huashan Hospital."

The bespectacled man stood up dejectedly, not daring to retort as he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Yi was about to leave when he saw that the old man was fine. It was almost nine o'clock, and he might be late for the meeting.

"Big Brother, what's your name? You spent a hundred yuan on us today. I'll give you the money after I tell mom and dad about this."

"There's no need to return the money, just go to school and try to get good grades."

Lin Yi got into his car and drove toward Huashan Hospital.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at Huashan Hospital.

Lin Yi was nervous and excited when he saw the magnificent outpatient clinic building.

This profession was given to him by the system, and he didn't know which department he was assigned to yet.

Originally, Lin Yi didn't care about any department at all.

It was wonderful for him to be able to have this job whilst simultaneously completing the system's task.

However, after joking with Ji Qingyan yesterday, Lin Yi realized he was facing a very serious problem.

This was because not only was there a gynecology department in the hospital, but there was also a f*cking male department!

If he was assigned to the male department, then he would f*cking hate this job.

Lin Yi followed the hospital's instructions and went to the personnel department.

He found out that apart from the other staff, the bespectacled man was also here!

However, there was a cute round-faced woman beside the bespectacled man.

In terms of appearance, she looked like Song Jia from a teacher's college. She had a girl next door look, but her body was curvy and bulging. She was much more developed than Song Jia.

However, there was still some distance between her and a deadly weapon like Sugar.

All the women in the personnel department widened their eyes when they saw Lin Yi.

This man was so handsome!

"It's you!"

The bespectacled man's face was cold when he saw Lin Yi. He couldn't help but get angry when he thought about what had happened earlier.

"After all this time, it turns out you're just like me. You're just a new doctor."

"What does that have to do with you?" The bespectacled man said coldly, ignoring Lin Yi.

"Do you know each other?" A female staff member asked gently.

"No."

"Oh, you're a new doctor too, right?"

"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded with a smile.

"Okay, okay. Please wait a moment, I'll go find Sister Ping."

"Why did you ask us to wait here after the two of us arrived? Why didn't you go get the director as soon as we arrived?"

"Is that important? We can do whatever we want. It's none of your business."

The bespectacled man was rendered speechless.

Even though he was about to become a doctor, he was not qualified to micromanage the affairs of the HR department.

Thus, he had no choice but to lower his head in embarrassment. He could only accept the situation.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked in from outside.

"You're all here to be onboarded for your respective positions, right?"

"Yes, Director Chen," the bespectacled man said. "I'm Zhou Ziqiang, a doctor in clinical medicine and cardiology. We've met before." 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I know who you are."

After that, Chen Ping looked at Lin Yi and the other girl. "Your name should be Lin Yi, and the girl's name is Qiao Xin, right?"

The two nodded. "Yes."

"All three of you are cardiologists, but you can't go to your own departments for the time being," Chen Ping said.

"Because you are housemen, you have to go through a month at the emergency department before you can return to the cardiology department. You should be aware of this, right?"

"Housemen?"

Due to the sage's wisdom, Lin Yi still had some understanding of the words 'housemen'.

To put it nicely, it was a process to train high-level professionals through clinical practice.

However, to put it bluntly, it acted as a cheap labor force.

After joining, one would have to work in various departments for a period of time before they could return to their own specialized departments.

Moreover, during this period, there was the risk of being dropped completely.

In short, it was a f*cking mess.

On the hand, fortunately, the male department wasn't part of the rotation.

"Do you have any objections?" Chen Ping asked tentatively.

"No, I'm just a tool. I will go wherever you want me to go. You can even arrange for me to go to the logistics department."

"Hey, look at what you're saying. That's really pleasing to the ears." Chen Ping smiled like an old mother. "Young man, do you have a girlfriend? My daughter just graduated from college a year ago and is currently single."

"I'll introduce her to someone when I'm free."

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't have any intention of playing along, Chen Ping didn't continue the topic.

Instead, she helped the three of them complete the relevant procedures.

"You guys wait here for a while. Director Li from the cardiology department will take you to her department later. You just have to listen to her arrangements to understand the rest of your work."

"Okay."

Zhou Ziqiang's eyes narrowed when he learned that Lin Yi was also going to the cardiology department.

His uncle was the chief director of the cardiology department. Now that this guy had fallen into his uncle's hands, it would be a piece of cake for him to take revenge today.

"Doctor Lin, can I add you on WeChat?" The girls from the human resources department came over one after another, their eyes full of hope.

"Uh, sure thing."

They were colleagues from now on, so Lin Yi wasn't stingy. He took out his QR code and let them scan it one by one.

"Can I, can I add you too?" Qiao Xin whispered.

"Why not? We'll be in the same department from now on. It won't be convenient to contact each other without each other's WeChat."

"Yes, yes."

Qiao Xin nodded heavily as she took out her phone and added Lin Yi's WeChat.

"Little Qiao, this is my wechat. You can add it as well."

Zhou Ziqiang took the initiative to open his QR code and waited for Qiao Xin to add his wechat.

"Oh."

Qiao Xin scanned it and put the phone back into her pocket.

"Eh? Why aren't there any incoming friend requests?" Zhou Ziqiang muttered, "Little Qiao, did you add me?"

"Yes, maybe the Internet here isn't good. You'll see it later." Qiao Xin said casually.

At that moment, the HR department's door was pushed open.

A woman in a white coat with a ponytail walked in from outside.

The woman had a fair and pretty oval face, looked to be about thirty years old, but she wasn't dressed properly. There wasn't a trace of delicacy in her appearance, and she looked a lot more natural than other women.

However, this perfectly matched Lin Yi's impression of a typical doctor.

If a doctor dressed up meticulously and appeared to be as exquisite as Ji Qingyan, then something wasn't right.

"Director Li, you're here."

Seeing the woman come in, Chen Ping went up and introduced her to Lin Yi and the others:

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Li Chuhan from the cardiology department."

Chapter 378

"This…"

The people surrounding Lin Yi were all quiet and ashamed.

"Grandpa, are you really okay?"

"Don't you want me to be okay?"

"I…"

The bespectacled man was speechless. He didn't even know how to deal with such an awkward situation.

It was simply too embarrassing.

"He even said that he was a professional doctor, but he can't even differentiate between flatulence and appendicitis. His standard is too amateurish."

However, this perfectly matched Lin Yi's impression of a typical doctor.

If a doctor dressed up meticulously and appeared to be as exquisite as Ji Qingyan, then something wasn't right.

"Director Li, you're here."

Seeing the woman come in, Chen Ping went up and introduced her to Lin Yi and the others:

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Li Chuhan from the cardiology department."

Chapter 379

"Director… Director Li, are you going with them to the emergency department?"

Li Chuhan nodded. "I'll follow them for a week to familiarize them with the procedures here. When you eventually start your shift at the emergency department, Brother Liu will take you."

"This…"

Zhou Ziqiang was a little regretful. What the hell was this?

Li Chuhan was taking care of them as the director. If he didn't follow her, how could he show off to her in the future?

"Director Li, I just thought about it," Zhou Ziqiang said.

"Among the three of us, I have the most experience. Why don't the three of us work together? When you're busy, I can show them the ropes."

Deputy Director Liu Yongsheng's expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up with a smile.

"Director Li, you can take the three of them with you," Liu Yongsheng said with a smile. "When you aren't free to supervise them, I'll go and help."

"Alright then."

Li Chuhan looked at the three of them and said, "Although I added an additional person, the rules are still the same as before. After I'm done with them, you guys will be responsible for the emergency treatment."

"Got it, got it…"

Li Chuhan didn't say much. After assigning the tasks, she said to Lin Yi and the others

"You guys follow me to do my rounds around the wards first, then we'll go to the emergency department."

"Okay."

After walking around the wards one by one, Lin Yi realized that dirty diseases were no longer exclusive to the elderly. There were also many young patients under the age of forty who were sick.

Fortunately, they were young and strong, and their recovery wouldn't take long.

"Director Li, is the handsome guy behind you a new doctor?" A young woman around thirty years old asked.

"Yes, he's a houseman in our department."

"Hello, I'm Zhou Ziqiang. I'll be a cardiologist from now on. If you…"

"I'm not asking about you, I'm asking about the tall doctor."

"Uh…"

Zhou Ziqiang took a step back in embarrassment, unwilling to let Lin Yi outshine him.

"I'm Lin Yi, a cardiologist houseman," Lin Yi introduced himself.

"Doctor Lin, Director Li said that I'll be discharged today, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. Give me two more sets of glucose, and I'll stay here for another two days."

"Little Bro, my heart suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. Come take a look at it for me."

"Director Li, can the beds in your cardiology department be booked for a year?"

"All of you should act more proper. Why are you guys so excited just because he is better looking?" Li Chuhan said helplessly.

"How is he just better looking? He's simply too good-looking."

"Quickly stop your evil thoughts. According to the hospital's regulations, he was transferred to the emergency department and will not be on duty in this department for the time being."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Sister Sun, why are you getting up? Didn't you say that you wanted to stay in bed for a few more days?"

"I'm heading to the emergency department to register myself. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get a spot later."

"Sis Sun, wait a minute. This is my ID card. Help me register for the emergency department as well. I'll be out of this ward tomorrow and head to the emergency department as well."

Lin Yi, "…"

"We're done with the ward rounds. Let's go to the emergency department first," Li Chuhan said as she led the three out of the ward and headed towards the emergency department.

"Lin Yi, don't join for anymore ward rounds." Li Chuhan said

"What's wrong? Isn't that one of my responsibilities?"

"I'm afraid that their hearts won't be able to take it, and they'll have to undergo surgery again."

Lin Yi, "?"

This was quite the reason.

On the way to the emergency department, Li Chuhan gave a brief introduction of the emergency department.

With her introduction, Lin Yi gained a basic understanding of cardiology and emergency departments.

Although there was a clear division of labor in the emergency department, there was not much difference when it came to actual work.

A houseman like Lin Yi had to do a little bit of everything.

Even so, it was all basic stuff, and even non-professional doctors could handle it easily.

If there were serious cases, the nurse guide would assign them to the appropriate departments.

From the looks of it, the emergency department didn't seem to have anything important they would need to deal with, and they just needed to do a relatively good job.

From Li Chuhan's words, their job was to ensure the efficiency of the emergency department. Otherwise, it the whole purpose behind having an emergency department in the first place would be lost.

When they arrived at the Emergency Center, Li Chuhan briefly introduced the three of them to the other doctors and nurses. From here, they could be considered to be familiar with each other.

"You guys can stay here. I stayed up all night last night so I'll go rest first. If there's anything you can't handle, come and call me."

"Okay, okay, okay. Director Li, you go ahead. Leave it to me. I'm sure I can handle everything," Zhou Ziqiang said.

Li Chuhan nodded calmly and prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, an urgent shout broke the silence.

"Make way, make way!"

They turned around and saw two middle-aged women following the emergency doctor. They were pushing a young man whose abdomen was covered in blood as they rushed in.

"Where's your director? Get him to operate on my son."

Li Chuhan looked back and said to Lin Yi, "Go take a look."

The three of them jogged over. Lin Yi opened his shirt and saw a 20-centimeter-long wound. The flesh was split open, and it was a shocking sight.

"How did this happen? Did you get into a fight with him?"

"Aren't you a doctor? Why are you asking me?" The middle-aged woman shouted. "Get your director here and get him to operate on my son."

"Please have some common sense. This is a knife wound. There's no need for surgery. Just suture it," Lin Yi said.

"Even if it's just a suture, get your director here. You can't take responsibility for delaying my nephew's treatment!"

"We can handle such a small thing. There's no need to alarm someone at the director's level."

"You?" The middle-aged woman said disdainfully. "How old are you? You don't have any experience at all. What qualifications do you have to treat my son?"

"There's really no need to alarm the director. Although they're new here, our Huashan Hospital has a strict recruitment system. Their standards are completely passable. It's no problem for them to deal with this kind of incident,"

"Auntie, I have an MD in clinical medicine from Fudan University. I have the confidence to handle a patient like your son well."

Zhou Ziqiang said confidently. He wanted to use this opportunity to show off in front of Li Chuhan.

He had come into contact with such patients before, so it was not difficult for him to deal with them.

"So what if you have an MD? Let me tell you, I am the director of the housing construction committee. If anything happens to him, you will bear full responsibility!"

"This…"

After learning the identity of the middle-aged woman, Zhou Ziqiang gave up.

If it was an ordinary citizen, even if there was a complication with the suturing, they wouldn't dare to look for him.

Moreover, even if they did look for him, a few words of deception would be able to push them back.

However, the woman in front of him was different. She was a high-ranking official!

If there was an accident during the process, he would have to shoulder the responsibility!

"Can you do it?" Li Chuhan asked.

Chapter 380

"Director… Director Li, my skills might not be sufficient. I can't suture such a wound for the time being."

Li Chuhan's hands were tucked in the pockets of her coat, and her beautiful brows were furrowed.

Although the wound looked scary, it was not severe. At most, it would only require four layers of suturing.

It was such a simple wound, and yet, he did not have the ability to treat it. Had he spent all his years of training learning from a dog?

"Can the two of you do it?" Li Chuhan turned back to look at Lin Yi and Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin looked at Lin Yi. This was the first time she was faced with such a situation, and she couldn't make up her mind.

"Let me do it," Lin Yi said. "It's not a big deal."

"No!"

The middle-aged woman yelled. "No one else is qualified to operate on my son!"

"Then let your son die. I'm not the one who caused the wound anyway."

Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin were stunned. What a hot-tempered person!

"Hey, hey, hey! What kind of person are you? What kind of doctor are you? I'm going to file a complaint!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. This is a hospital, not a place for you to make a scene."

Li Chuhan took out her badge. "I'm the shift director of the emergency department. If you agree, I'll suture the wound. If you don't agree, you can transfer to another hospital right now. The director can't personally come down ."

"This…"

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Then you can do it. But let me say this first. If you can't suture the wound properly, I'll definitely ask you for an explanation!"

"If you don't trust me, you can leave now," Li Chuhan said. "I've seen more dead people than you've seen living people. Your son can be one of them."

Lin Yi looked at Li Chuhan.

This woman was a ruthless character!

The middle-aged woman was stunned by Li Chuhan. She knew that her son's condition couldn't be delayed, and he didn't have time to go to other hospitals.

"Then you do it."

"Push him to the operating room. The three of you follow me in."

A few minutes later, the patient was pushed onto the operating table. Zhou Ziqiang volunteered.

"Director Li, I'll be your assistant. As your favorite student, I'll definitely be able to cooperate well with you."

Li Chuhan looked up at Zhou Ziqiang. "You don't even have the confidence to perform such a simple suture, and you still have the nerve to say that you're my favorite student?"

"I…"

"Go watch from the side."

Li Chuhan ignored Zhou Ziqiang and looked at Lin Yi and Qiao Xin. "The two of you will be my assistants."

"Got it, Director Li."

Although he didn't graduate from medical school, Lin Yi's level was comparable to that of Zhou Ziqiang and Qiao Xin because of the sage's wisdom. In fact, he was even a little better than them.

It wouldn't be a problem for him to seal this wound.

The suturing process went smoothly. It was hard to think of any problems arising with Li Chuhan personally handling the surgery.

"The muscle and fat are all sewn up. There's also the subcutaneous layer and the skin. You two can try it. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Okay." Lin Yi said.

"Lin Bro, I'll be your assistant. I'll watch you do it this time. I'll try it next time," Qiao Xin said.

Although suturing the flesh wasn't difficult, Qiao Xin still had to get used to it.

"No problem."

Seeing the two of them suturing the patient, Zhou Ziqiang was furious.

"F*ck, I'll kick you out of the hospital sooner or later!"

Lin Yi and Qiao Xin started suturing the fatty layer and skin.

Because he hadn't slept all night, Li Chuhan sat to the side and rubbed her temples, trying to wake herself up.

In less than half an hour, the suturing process was over.

"Brother Lin, your suturing technique is too good!"

Qiao Xin exclaimed when she saw the wound Lin Yi had stitched up.

"Luckily I let you do it just now. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to achieve such an effect."

Li Chuhan shook her head helplessly, got up, and walked over, cursing in her heart.

"Why are all these girls making such a big deal out of it? Don't tell me these guys can do whatever they want just because they're good-looking. What kind of logic is this… it seems like they're pretty good…"

Li Chuhan's eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at the wound Lin Yi had stitched up.

From the way the wound was treated, it would take at least ten years of clinical experience to be able to sew it up so well.

She wouldn't have been able to do it if she was in Lin Yi's shoes.

The reason she said that was because suturing the skin wasn't that difficult.

As long as she put in more effort, he could easily reach the peak of this technique.

It was just like how a kindergarten teacher who graduated from a junior college would be more effective than a university professor in teaching children.

"It's really not bad. Work harder in the future and don't be arrogant."

"Got it, Director Li."

Li Chuhan nodded and made up her mind. She would have to talk to Lin Yi later.

Zhou Ziqiang pursed his lips nonchalantly. Was it that good?

I think it's just so-so!

"Alright, the stitches are done. Let's push him out."

"Okay."

Seeing her son being pushed out, the middle-aged woman went up to take a look and started cursing.

"What kind of suture is this? It will definitely leave a huge scar. My son isn't married yet. How will he be able to find a girlfriend in the future?!"

"It's normal to have scars. With such a big wound, how can there be no scars at all?" Li Chuhan said.

"After a few months, when the wound is completely healed, it will look much better. It won't be as glaring as it is now."

"I think you're lying!" The middle-aged woman pointed at Li Chuhan's nose and said.

"You're just trying to show off because your skills aren't good enough. The rest of my son's life will be ruined by your hands!"

"Stop fucking pointing," Lin Yi said.

"I'm the one who stitched your son's belly. Tell me if you need anything."

"You!"

The middle-aged woman was even more excited when she found out the truth. She turned to Li Chuhan and said.

"How can you be a doctor? You clearly said that you would sew him up when you entered the operating theater, but you gave it to your assistant. Weren't you lying?!"

"I sewed up the muscles and fats, and he did the subcutaneous and skin layers. And I can tell you clearly that his sutures aren't bad. Even if I were to do it, I would only be able to sew it up as well as he did."

"What did you say? You're a director, but you're on the same level as your assistant. How dare you say that?!" The middle-aged woman said loudly.

"And you, don't you know your own skill level? You don't have any self-awareness, yet you still dare to sew your son. How dare you?! Believe it or not, I can make the two of you get laid off with just a call!"

"You're just a lousy director, and yet you're so arrogant? You claim that you can get us laid off just like that?"

"Do you think I was wasting my time in Zhonghai?" The middle-aged woman said.

"I'm telling you, you should be glad that I'm here today. If my husband were the one here and saw what you did to my son, the whole hospital would be thrown into chaos!"

Lin Yi shrugged with a playful expression. "Then let's see who gets laid off first."

Chapter 381

Seeing the expression on Lin Yi's face, Li Chuhan hesitated for a moment.

'What did he mean by that?'

"Alright, you guys wait!"

The middle-aged woman shouted at the other middle-aged woman beside her.

"Big Sis, you stay here for a while. I'm going to call his father. We have to deal with this seriously!"

"Hurry up and get my brother here," the tanned middle-aged woman said. "Doctors nowadays are becoming more and more immoral. We can't let them off so easily!"

"We have to get them to give us an explanation. They said that was the one who stitched the wound, but in the end, it turned out to be a new doctor. We have to deal with this seriously!"

Seeing the middle-aged woman leave, the medical staff and patients in the emergency department turned their attention to Lin Yi and Li Chuhan.

Usually, the attending doctor would be in charge of the more difficult tasks when dealing with such patients, and assistants would be in charge of the most simple tasks like suturing the skin.

This was normal and there were normally no issues with it, but no one would have thought that this woman would make such a big mess.

As expected, people with status like them were the hardest to deal with.

"Director Li, Lin Bro, what do we do now?" Qiao Xin asked worriedly.

"I saw your video just now. It should be on your phone, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I wanted to record it as evidence, but I don't know if it'll be useful."

"Send me a copy of the video."

"Okay."

Lin Yi walked to a corner after receiving Qiao Xin's video and forwarded it to Liang Ruoxu.

"This person seems to be the director of the construction committee. She came to the hospital to cause trouble. You should take care of her."

A few minutes later, Liang Ruoxu replied with an OK sign.

Although he didn't say anything else, it was enough for Lin Yi.

Someone as resolute and decisive as Liang Ruoxu would definitely take care of this matter.

Seeing Lin Yi walking over from afar, Li Chuhan was suspicious. Did he go to take care of this matter?

However, did he really have the ability to deal with it?

"Isn't there nothing else? Let's go back to the office. What are we standing here for?"

Seeing Lin Yi's nonchalant look, Qiao Xin was a little confused.

Things had already gotten to this point, so how could Brother Lin still be talking and laughing?

"You guys go back first, I need to take a call."

After saying that, Zhou Ziqiang took his phone and walked to the stairwell.

"Uncle, you were looking for me."

"What's going on? It's your first day here, why did something happen in the emergency department?"

"It's all because of that Lin Yi guy. He didn't have any skills, but he started suturing the patient. In the end, the patient's family wasn't satisfied and wanted to complain."

"Suturing the skin shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's not difficult for me, but his skills are limited, so naturally, he can't do it well," Zhou Ziqiang said.

"And he even spoke ill of the patient's family. A lot of people in the emergency department saw it. If this matter is blown up, it will definitely affect the hospital's reputation. A person like him doesn't deserve to stay in Huashan Hospital."

"I know. You guys wait for me in the emergency department. Don't go anywhere. Director Zhao and I are going over now."

"Director Zhao's coming too?"

"He's the vice director in charge of administration. Something this big has happened, so he'll have to deal with it."

"That's great. I'll go back to my office and wait for you guys."

After hanging up, Zhou Ziqiang returned to his office with a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Jianwei wasn't only the vice director of Huashan Hospital, he was also a teacher in medical school. His temper there was notoriously bad.

Lin Yi had caused such a huge mess. With his temper, he definitely wouldn't let him stick around.

He probably wouldn't even need to work the night shift tonight before he would be kicked out.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziqiang's smile grew wider. Luckily, he didn't sew it up himself just now.

Otherwise, things might have really gone wrong.

At that moment, everyone in the office had different expressions on their faces.

Li Chuhan was the type of person who had more skills than experience.

With her skill level, as long as there was no major medical accident, the hospital wouldn't dare to say anything. Otherwise, it would be a loss of Huashan Hospital.

Qiao Xin's face was filled with worry. She didn't know what the final outcome would be.

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open and two middle-aged men walked in from outside.

One of them was Cao Jiawang. He was wearing a white coat and a pair of slippers.

The other man was dressed in casual clothes. He was thin and had a serious expression on his face.

This man was the vice president of Huashan Hospital, Zhao Jianwei. He held a lot of power here. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

"Director Zhao."

Seeing the middle-aged man, Li Chuhan stood up to greet him and introduce him to Lin Yi and the others.

"Director Li, What's going on? I heard from my subordinates that someone wants to complain about you."

"The patient's family is making trouble for no reason. There's nothing we can do about it," Li Chuhan said calmly. She did not take this matter to heart.

"Director Li, I don't want to criticize you, but if it were an ordinary patient, it would definitely not be a problem for you to handle it this way. However, you also know the identity of the other party. How could you hand such a big matter over to a new doctor to handle?"

"In my eyes, any patient is the same. Forget a simple suture, even when I perform a heart operation, I would still hand it over to my assistant to handle," Li Chuhan said calmly.

"Moreover, I have already looked at the sutured wound. The results meet my requirements, so I don't think there's anything wrong with this matter. It's the family members of the patient who are making trouble without reason. I hope that Director Zhao can take this matter seriously."

"I understand the situation, but I've already said that the patient's family isn't an ordinary family. They'll call us with complaints very soon, and they might even blow up this matter further. This will have a huge impact on our hospital's reputation, so we have to deal with this matter seriously."

"Director Zhao, mitigate the damage, I think we should fire him," Cao Jiawang said.

Lin Yi glanced at Cao Jiawang, but didn't say anything.

He was probably afraid of taking responsibility, so he was willing to cut this man off.

ZHao Jianwei nodded. "I'll think about it."

If it were just a new doctor, Zhao Jianwei wouldn't hesitate and fire him for sure.

However, this matter involved Li Chuhan, so it wasn't so easy to handle.

Directly firing Lin Yi was equivalent to slapping Li Chuhan in the face.

However, the director had spent a lot of money to recruit her, so he had to take care of her.

"Director Zhao, everything is clear now. There's nothing to think about, right? He's just a new doctor. Just fire him."

Just as Zhao Jianwei was hesitating, the office door was pushed open.

The middle-aged woman came rushing in.

"Director Li, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. If I don't have this job, I will be finished. Please forgive me!

Chapter 382

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Li Chuhan was the assistant director of the cardiology department, and she had nothing to do with this lady's work. What right did she have to fire him?

This was bullsh*t.

Li Chuhan started thinking. She didn't do anything, so how did this woman get fired?

Subconsciously, Li Chuhan thought of what Lin Yi had said earlier.

'Let's see who gets fired.'

Could this be the outcome of the prophecy?

Subconsciously, Li Chuhan turned back to look at Lin Yi, trying to find an answer from him.

However, Lin Yi just shrugged and didn't say anything. He didn't explain the matter.

"This has nothing to do with me. I hope you won't make a fuss anymore." Li Chuhan said.

"No, Director Li, I know you still hold a grudge against me, but please give me a chance to apologize. Now, it is not only myself, even my husband has been fired. Our family still needs to survive."

"I really can't interfere in this matter. It's very likely that the family members of the other patients posted your actions online and the leaders of the relevant departments saw it. You should look for another explanation. Please don't disturb my work."

Zhao Jianwei and Cao Jiawang stared at the middle-aged woman in front of them.

She had said that she would file a complaint, but how did they get fired in the blink of an eye?

Even if the bad behavior was posted on the Internet, it couldn't be dealt with so quickly, could it? 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Could someone be adding fuel to the fire?

However, there were only a few people here, and they were all doctors from their own hospital, so who had the ability to do so?

"Miss, what's going on? You guys were fine earlier. Why were you suddenly fired?" Zhou Ziqiang asked.

He was waiting for Lin Yi to be fired, but he didn't expect such a reversal of the situation.

Didn't it happen a little too fast?

"I don't know what happened either. I did want to file a complaint against you guys, but after I called my husband, the higher-ups informed me that I was fired. Then, my husband called and told him that he was fired too," the middle-aged woman said with tears in her eyes.

"I know it was my actions that made you unhappy. Please talk to the higher-ups and give us another chance."

After learning the truth, Zhao Jianwei and Cao Jiawang looked at each other.

Since she had been fired, this matter was easier to handle.

"Madam, I think there might be misunderstanding this matter. I hope you can leave now and not delay our work."

Zhao Jianwei called the security guard over and brought the middle-aged woman out of the emergency department. He sent her to the corresponding ward to visit her son so as not to disturb the other patients.

However, at that moment, everyone had a big question mark in their hearts.

How did she get fired so easily?

"Let's just let this rest quietly."

Zhao Jianwei and Cao Jiawang turned around and left after saying that.

Zhou Ziqiang was the only one with an ugly expression. He thought that he could use this opportunity to get rid of Lin Yi.

It seemed like he had to find another opportunity.

Everyone in the office was looking at Lin Yi, unintentionally or unintentionally.

However, at this moment, Lin Yi had no intention to pay attention to such things.

This was because the system notification had sounded in his mind.

[ Treating a patient, rewarded 100,000 experience points. ]

[ Job completion: 10%, rewarded with master-level suture. ]

Lin Yi's expression was both serious and suspicious as he heard the notification sound in his head.

This master-level suturing skill seemed to have the same effect as the master memory reward he had received before.

However, this reward wasn't self-chosen, and it was limited only to the suturing skill.

"System, this master level suturing skill should be pretty awesome, right?"

[ Yes. ]

"But I want to know, how awesome is this master-level suturing technique?"

[ The best in the world. ]

Lin Yi sucked in a breath of cold air. "Is it like the master's memory?"

[ Yes, but only the suturing technique. The host's other clinical skills are still at the beginner level. ]

"Okay, I understand."

Wasn't the system's standard a little too high?

The ability given to him by the sage's wisdom was already very impressive, but in the system's eyes, it was only at the beginner level.

Perhaps only someone at master level could be considered professional in its eyes.

Feeling the memories in his mind, Lin Yi realized that although the suture technique wasn't eye-catching, there were a lot of skills required.

He'd be able to do it better if he'd mastered the technique earlier.

Li Chuhan had also made some mistakes when suturing the patient's muscles and fat. He'd have been able to do it better if he did it himself.

However, it didn't matter if there were some flaws in such a simple suture. It didn't have any effect on the patient's health.

If it was like a thoracotomy or a craniotomy, there couldn't be any flaws.

"Lin Yi?"

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard Li Chuhan calling him.

"Director Li, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Come here, I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay."

Lin Yi was called to the stairwell by Li Chuhan.

"Director Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to know who taught you how to suture." Li Chuhan asked.

"I've seen a lot of young doctors over the years, but none of them were as good as you when they first come to the hospital. I'm a little curious."

"It's nothing, really. It's just a suture. Director Li, don't make a big deal out of it."

"I'm calling you good, but you're still denying it."

"I can't help it. It's so difficult to keep a low profile nowadays."

Li Chuhan raised her head. "I'll take you somewhere. Do you dare to go?"

"Where?" Lin Yi asked.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just tell me if you dare."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Come with me." Li Chuhan said.

Lin Yi pursed his lips. This cold-looking female doctor wasn't planning to cheat with him, was she?

The two arrived at the lab under Li Chuhan's lead.

"Director Li, is this the new houseman?"

The director of the lab was a middle-aged lady named Sun Lizhu. She had short hair and a very kind smile.

"He is the new doctor. He just started today. I'll be in charge of him," Li Chuhan said.

"Sister Sun, help me prepare a set of nerves and blood vessels for him to take a test."

"No way? You want to test him on suturing nerves and blood vessels?" Sun Lizhu said in surprise.

"Normally, he would need at least five years of experience to suture these two things. You want him to try it now?"

"This new doctor is not ordinary. I want to test his level."

"That's a little too much. I don't believe that our hospital has a doctor who is better than you. Although he looks good, he is still too young."

Chapter 383

"I don't believe so either, that's why I want to test his skill."

Li Zhu smiled at Lin Yi. "Young man, did you offend our Director Li? Go buy some osmanthus cakes and apologize."

"So Director Li likes osmanthus cakes. I'll buy some when I'm free." Lin Yi said.

"No matter what you buy, this test is unavoidable," Li Chuhan said.

"Sister Sun, please help me get a set of blood vessels and nerves. Just charge the fee to the cardiology department."

"Director Li, I'm only doing this for you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother," Sun Lizhu said with a smile. "But since you said this, it works for me."

"Thank you, Sister Sun."

"What are you thanking me for? Just wait."

Sun Lizhu didn't hesitate and turned to leave. A few minutes later, she came back empty-handed.

"What's wrong? Did you run out of materials?"

"No, I forgot something. The electron microscope has a glitch. The new backup equipment hasn't been delivered yet. If you want to test him on suturing nerves and blood vessels, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so today. The backup microscope will arrive in three days. You can come again then."

Because nerves and blood vessels were very small, it was impossible to see them clearly with the naked eye. It was basically impossible to suture them.

Therefore, a high-power electron microscope would be used during the suture.

This was especially true for some eye surgeries. Without an electron microscope, it was impossible to perform the surgery.

"Then, I'll come back in a few days. Thank you, Sister Sun."

"We're all on the same side. There's no need to be so polite."

"Cough, cough, cough… Director Li, actually, I don't need an electron microscope. I can do it with an ordinary microscope."

Chu Han and Li Zhu were both stunned.

"What did you say? You can sew up nerves and blood vessels with an ordinary microscope?"

"Pretty much. I can give it a try. They're all props anyway. It won't kill anyone if I mess up."

"Director Li, isn't your newbie a little overconfident?"

Sun Lizhu had a pretty good impression of Lin Yi at first after seeing how handsome he was.

However, he'd said something like that, which was a huge taboo for doctors.

Lin Yi was the type of person she most disliked. He appeared to be someone who didn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth.

Even Director Li wouldn't be able to sew up blood vessels and nerves at such a young age.

How could he possibly do it?

"He's already said it, so let him try. The materials aren't that expensive anyway."

"Alright, since you've said so, I'll go get the materials for him." Sun Lizhu said.

She was a little unwilling, but she still brought the simulation materials over for Li Chuhan's sake.

There was also an ordinary microscope.

"I've brought everything. Let's try it."

"Okay."

Although it was the first time he'd seen such simulation material, Lin Yi wasn't unfamiliar with it due to the help of the master-level suture technique.

He started operating with ease.

Li Chuhan and Sun Lizhu both took a step back to avoid disturbing Lin Yi's operation, eventually maintaining a one-meter distance between them.

"Director Sun, what are you doing?"

The others from the equipment room walked over, wanting to know what was going on.

"Director Li brought a newbie here to test his ability to suture blood vessels and nerves."

"Isn't the electron microscope broken? How are you going to test him?"

Sun Lizhu shrugged. "He said that he could operate with just a normal microscope."

"That's impossible, it's a bit of a stretch."

The bespectacled male doctor looked up and saw Lin Yi sitting in front of him.

"No way, isn't this guy too young?"

"I think he's bragging too much, but he said that he can do it, so we might as well let him try."

"Are you kidding me?" The male doctor said.

"Even with Director Li's skill, she wouldn't be able to suture blood vessels and nerves at this age, would she? Besides, he's using a normal microscope. This young doctor is overconfident."

"I think so too." Sun Lizhu said.

"But it doesn't matter. The simulation materials don't cost much anyway. Let's give him a try. It's good for young people to suffer some setbacks."

"I agree with you."

"Ok, ok." Lin Yi exhaled.

"What?! Are you done?"

Sun Lizhu exclaimed. She and Li Chuhan looked at each other in shock.

"Are you sure you did it? You didn't mess up?"

"You can see for yourself."

The three of them hurried over and were surprised to see that Lin Yi had stitched up all the simulated blood vessels and nerves.

The stitching was neat and smooth. Even they themselves couldn't have done it this well!

Most importantly, he was using a normal microscope!

This was even more unbelievable!

"You… How did you do it?" Li Chuhan stared at Lin Yi with her almond-shaped eyes. She couldn't believe that Lin Yi could do something like this.

"It's just stitching one needle at a time," Lin Yi said matter-of-factly. "It's not a magical operation, so you guys don't have to make a fuss over it."

Li Chuhan stopped talking when she saw the stitched up blood vessels and nerves.

There were many doctors who could stitch up blood vessels and nerves, but none of them could do it so well!

At the very least, she didn't have the ability to do this. Even Director Duan, who was the best at it in the hospital, would only be at a similar level.

"Director Li, am I considered to have passed the test?"

"Sew it again. I want to see how you operate."

Lin Yi smiled. "Do you want to learn?"

"Yes."

Li Chuhan nodded, not denying anything.

In doing so, she was admitting that she could not do the same. She was genuinely too humble.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get another set." Lin Yi said.

Sun Lizhu ordered her subordinates to get another set of simulation materials.

Lin Yi didn't say anything and continued with his work.

Li Chuhan and the others were watching, and it affected Lin Yi's operation.

This time, he was faster and more skilled than the first time.

During the suturing process, Li Chuhan noticed that Lin Yi didn't make any unnecessary movements, perfectly examplifying the meaning of the word 'precision'.

This was crucial in this surgery because every second saved would increase the chances of the patient surviving!

"I'm done," Lin Yi said. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

Li Chuhan was in awe as he looked at the blood vessels and nerves that were perfectly sewn together.

It was like looking at a piece of art.

"Why did you only use your thumb and index finger when you were suturing?"

This was what Li Chuhan wanted to ask from the start. It wasn't easy to operate like this.

"This is a simulation of a real surgery," Lin Yi said.

"There are thousands of different types of patients. It's very likely that I might encounter a situation that will limit my movements and make it difficult to operate. I wanted to use this method to simulate this.

"But this kind of suture is still a little boring. There's not a single drop of blood in the surroundings, and it won't cause any obstruction to the vision. In a real surgery, we still would need to use an electron microscope. This kind of ordinary suture is a little boring."

Chapter 384

"You're simulating a real surgical environment!"

Li Chuhan didn't know how to describe her feelings. It was simply too unbelievable.

At first, she thought that it was Lin Yi's special habit to self-regulate his actions, but she didn't expect him to be doing it on purpose.

If she offered him a normal suturing environment and gave him a precise electron microscope…

The effect would probably be better.

"From today onwards, you'll be my assistant. I'll take you with me when there's a surgery," Li Chuhan said.

"Does that count as a promotion?"

"You silly boy," Sun Lizhu laughed.

"Director Li is a famous pretty doctor in Huashan Hospital. It's not just a promotion, you're getting a chance to work directly with Director Li."

"That's really good."

Li Chuhan's expression didn't change much after being teased like that by Li Zhu.

It was hard to tell if she really cared or not.

Sometimes, Lin Yi felt that Li Chuhan was as calm as a machine, and he couldn't even tell if she had any emotion.

Perhaps this kind of personality was more suitable for a place like the hospital.

"Did you have lunch? I'm going to order something, and I have something I want to talk to you about." Li Chuhan said with a smile.

If it was someone else who said that, Lin Yi would have thought that they were trying to flirt with him.

However, the words coming out of Li Chuhan's mouth appeared very innocent.

She really just wanted to have lunch together.

"Silly boy, what are you waiting for?" Sun Lizhu nudged Lin Yi from behind.

"I'm telling you, Director Li has been in here for over two years, and this is the first time she's taken the initiative to invite a member of the opposite sex out for a meal. Even though it's takeout, you should cherish it."

"I'd be honored, then." Lin Yi said with a smile. "Why don't I treat you to this meal? You're my boss, after all. Give me a chance to show off."

Sun Lizhu gave him a thumbs up. "You know how to handle things, young man."

"Sure, I'll treat you next time."

Li Chuhan didn't waste too much time on the matter, and took out her phone to show her WeChat QR code.

"This is my wechat. Add it and it'll be easier to communicate whenever I have something for you to do."

"Okay."

After adding Li Chuhan's WeChat, Lin Yi sent a message to Wang Tianlong, asking him to send some lunch over.

Takeaways on group purchases were too casual, so he had to make it classier.

"You go to 809 first and wait for me. I'll go prepare something and I'll come find you later."

"Okay."

Lin Yi went to 809 according to Li Chuhan's instructions.

The office wasn't big. There was a computer and a printer, and there were a lot of Li Chuhan's personal belongings as well.

Rather than calling it an office, it looked more like a temporary resting place.

From this, one could see that Huashan Hospital was different from the rest.

Other hospitals only had comprehensive offices, and the department directors all worked together, just like the places he'd been to before.

However, Li Chuhan had her own lounge, which was very impressive.

About half an hour later, Li Chuhan walked in from outside with a large stack of documents in her arms.

She conveniently placed the documents on the table and casually took off her white coat. Inside was a simple white Nike t-shirt. His figure was not bad. It was neither too big nor too small, and he would be able to hold everything with one hand.

At this moment, the door to the lounge was pushed open. Three young nurses pushed the door open and walked in while laughing.

"Director Li, we don't have a place to eat. Can we borrow your…"

The nurses stopped talking halfway when they saw Lin Yi.

"Oh, so Dr. Lin is here. We'll be going then."

"It's fine. Let's eat here. There's no issue," Li Chuhan said politely.

"Really?" The long-haired nurse said. The name written on her badge read Yuan Siqi.

Li Chuhan nodded. "Pack up the documents on the table at the back and place them on the windowsill." 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪𝒅.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Director Li, have you eaten with Dr. Lin yet? The cafeteria prepared meat loaf today. It's very delicious. I'll go buy it for you," Yuan Siqi said.

"Dr. Lin ordered takeout. You don't have to worry about me."

"Oh, then will you be eating here?"

"Yeah."

It was obvious that although Li Chuhan was a little cold, she had a good relationship with her colleagues.

In a normal hospital, nurses wouldn't have the guts to break into the director's lounge.

The three nurses were eating quietly, glancing at Lin Yi from time to time.

"Dr. Lin is so handsome, I can smell his testosterone even from a meter away."

"I think you're in heat. You can even describe the scent of sweat as hormonal. Still, Doctor Lin really is handsome."

"It's useless even if he's handsome. He's going to be taken down by Director Li."

"Director Li is the belle of our hospital. He seems to be a good match," Yuan Siqi said with a smile.

"But I don't think this is good. Director Duan from the logistics department has been pursuing Director Li. If he finds out about this, it will be difficult to handle."

"You're right. Director Duan is rich and overbearing. In this aspect, Dr. Lin might be a little lacking."

"Alright, let's eat first. This isn't something that we should worry about."

"Right, right, right. Let's eat first. Director Li is discussing something with Dr. Lin. Let's not disturb them."

The three of them ate silently. Li Chuhan took the file and said,

"I need to discuss something with you. It might take you a long time. It's almost noon, so will it disturb your rest?" Li Chuhan said. "I can talk to you in the afternoon."

"It's fine. I'm full of energy and I don't have a habit of napping. You can just brief me now."

Li Chuhan nodded. "I have an important surgery tomorrow. I've simulated the procedure many times, but I still feel that the suturing after the surgery isn't good enough. I feel that the risk is too high and I'd like to hear your opinion."

"With Director Li's ability, can't you handle it?"

Lin Yi had a comprehensive understanding of Li Chuhan's abilities from the introduction.

If even she felt that the surgery was a high risk, then an ordinary person wouldn't be able to handle it.

"The risk comes from two aspects. One is the patient's condition, and the other is the person's identity." Li Chuhan smoothed her long hair that fell on her forehead, "If something goes wrong, Huashan Hospital won't be able to shoulder the responsibility."

"Huh?"

Li Chuhan's words piqued Lin Yi's curiosity.

Huashan Hospital was a behemoth in Zhonghai.

Even the city gave them special treatment. As long as the number of medical incidents was limited, no one would hold them responsible.

However, Li Chuhan said that even Huashan Hospital couldn't afford to offend this patient.

That was special.

"Are you curious about the patient's identity?"

Lin Yi nodded, not hiding anything.

"The patient is…"

Dang dang dang..

Just as Li Chuhan was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

"Come in," Li Chuhan replied.

The door was pushed open and a man in casual clothes came in. He was over 1.8 meters tall and had a buzz cut. He had a burly figure.

In the man's hands were several bags that looked like takeout items.

The man's name was Duan Peng. He was the deputy director of the logistics department of Huashan Hospital.

The logistics department sounded very unremarkable, but it held a significant position in the entire Huashan Hospital.

The logistics department was a very big department in Huashan Hospital.

They were responsible for all the medical equipment purchases, and one could imagine how much profit they were making.

Duan Peng's appearance made the previously relaxed atmosphere tense.

The three nurses looked at Duan Peng and Lin Yi with their chopsticks in their mouths.

This was too much of a coincidence. Things weren't looking good!

Duan Peng's expression turned ugly when he saw Lin Yi.

"Director Duan, what's the matter?" Li Chuhan asked.

"It's not a big deal. It's not even noon yet. I was afraid that you wouldn't have time to eat, so I brought you something to eat."

"No need," Li Chuhan said. "Dr. Lin ordered takeout. We'll be eating together today. Thank you."

Duan Peng's expression changed to show hints of anger.

Where did this guy come from?

"How can his order be as good as mine?" Duan Peng said.

"I ordered this from my mom's restaurant next door. It's all good stuff. You've been too tired recently. There's a herbal soup here to help you."

"I won't trouble you anymore, Director Duan. Dr. Lin has already ordered takeout. We'll just be having a simple bite."

"Takeout isn't as nutritious as what I bought." Duan Peng took out the things from his pocket and said.

"I bought roast duck, pork trotters, beef bone soup, and…"

The three nurses drooled when they heard the name of the dishes. It was all good stuff.

Knock, knock, knock..

Someone knocked on the door midway through the conversation.

Tianlong Wang walked in from outside.

Tianlong Wang was stunned when he saw Lin Yi sitting two meters away from him.

Why was President Lin wearing a white coat?

He was going all out to get a female doctor!

President Lin was awesome! He was a role model for his generation!

"Mr. Lin, your takeout is here," Tianlong Wang said seriously.

"This is our best single-headed abalone, Australian lobster, bluefin tuna sashimi, Russian sturgeon caviar, Australian M3 steak, steamed wild Chinese sturgeon, and a bottle of Moscato Asti. It's very suitable for ladies to drink."

Chapter 385

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment when he saw what was on the table.

I only asked you to deliver a simple lunch.

You really pulled out all the stops!

Wang Tianlong was very proud. It was perfect. He didn't cause President Lin to lose face.

Perfect.

"Mr. Lin, your takeout is ready. I'm leaving now. Remember to give me a good review for five stars."

After saying that, Wang Tianlong turned around and left.

He left after putting on a show, concealing his success and identity in the process.

The three young nurses drooled when they saw the top-grade ingredients on the table.

Although the food Duan Peng prepared was not bad, the difference between it and the takeout ordered by Dr. Lin was like Heaven and Earth!

One dish on the table was more expensive than everything the former had bought. 𝓵𝓲𝙗𝓻𝓮𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The total cost of this meal was tens of thousands of yuan!

Wang Tianlong had never let anyone down throughout his pretentious journey.

"Director Duan, Doctor Lin ordered a lot of things. I appreciate your kindness."

Duan Peng's expression was ugly. What the f*ck was the meaning of this?!

"That's good. That's all for now. I won't disturb you meal."

Duan Peng awkwardly put away the lunch he had ordered and left Li Chuhan's lounge.

The three nurses couldn't stop laughing.

Dr. Lin's actions were a slap in the face!

"Director Duan is the vice president's son. Do you think he'll give Dr. Lin a hard time after this?"

"It's hard to say. He's making me worried about Dr. Lin."

While the three of them were whispering, Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi and said,

"You ordered a little too much. Do you mind if we eat together?"

"No way." Lin Yi smiled. "If I knew they were coming, I would have ordered more."

Under such circumstances, anyone with a little EQ wouldn't choose to eat alone.

"Don't just stand there. Dr. Lin is treating you to dinner today."

"Can we really eat too?"

"Why not? Let's eat together."

"Hehe, then we won't stand on ceremony."

The three young nurses carried their lunch boxes and walked over from the desk at the back. They surrounded each other and ate a big meal together.

"After eating Dr. Lin's meal, you guys have to cooperate with Dr. Lin's work in the future."

"No problem," Yuan Siqi said, "I'll be Dr. Lin's full-time young nurse from now on."

"Even if we didn't eat Dr. Lin's food, we would still be willing to help Dr. Lin."

"You guys are really…" Li Chuhan said with a smile.

After a simple lunch, they knew that Lin Yi and Li Chuhan had something important to talk about. Yuan Siqi and the other two quickly finished their lunch and helped collect the leftovers.

"Are you sure you don't want to rest for a while? Are you sure you want to continue chatting?"

"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded. "Let's continue the discussion. Who are we doing surgery on tomorrow?"

"The head of the garrison."

Pfftt!

Lin Yi almost vomited blood. "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. I'll be the assistant tomorrow and the two presidents will be the chief surgeons. I'll just be the backup."

"It's only right." Lin Yi said. "Such a big figure has to be watched carefully by the entire hospital."

"The surgery is tricky, but we can handle it. The only thing I'm worried about is the suturing."

"Who's in charge of suturing?"

"Dean Duan, the top cardiologist in the country."

"What did he say?"

"He said it's not too difficult and there won't be any problems, but I've come into contact with similar patients before at Mayo Clinic. Their suturing plans are different from what Dean Duan explained. That's what I'm worried about."

Lin Yi frowned. "Let's talk about the patient's condition first."

"There's an aneurysm at the heart area. The problem is that there's a very thick layer of dissection required above it."

Li Chuhan took the file and said.

"There are three layers around the aortic wall: the inner membrane, the elastic middle layer, and the outer layer. Now, the inner membrane of the aortic wall has become diseased. This will cause the blood that originally flowed to the entire body to pass through the lesion and flow to the middle layer. The accumulated blood will force the aorta to continue expanding, causing the aortic wall to become thinner until it is less than one-sixth of its original thickness. At this time, if there's any vibration, the blood pressure will rise abruptly and the patient will die within a minute. Therefore, the treatment plan we are offering is to replace the artificial blood vessel."

Lin Yi took a deep breath as he realized the difficulty of this surgery.

"The potential risk now is that the patient weighs more than 180 pounds and is considered obese. This makes the surgery very difficult.

"Secondly, the suture of the artificial blood vessel is the most important factor. If he starts bleeding, he might only be left with 500 milliliters of blood in just a minute." Li Chuhan shrugged. "He'll die before he gets off the operating table."

As she spoke, Li Chuhan took a few more documents and handed them to Lin Yi, "According to my estimation, there will be 240 to 300 suture points in this surgery. If one suture point is wrong, all our efforts will be wasted."

Huff…

Lin Yi sighed.

"This is too damn difficult."

"You don't have confidence?"

"People make mistakes, even horses make mistakes. Only God can guarantee that there won't be any mistakes while making 240 to 300 stitching points."

The system gave him master-level stitching technique.

In other words, his skill level was the best in the world.

However, this standard was in comparison to a human, not a machine.

As long as it was a human, there was always the possibility of mistakes.

This was what Lin Yi was most worried about.

"Can you give me a treatment plan? Let me see if it's feasible."

"Are you sure you can trust me?"

"Your skills are pretty good, so I want to give it a try," Li Chuhan said. "I can't think of a better option anyway. Because of the uniqueness of the patient, it's impossible to find a foreign doctor to do it, so I want you to give this a try."

"Okay, I'll give you a plan. Use it if you think it's suitable. If it's not, then forget it."

"No problem." Li Chuhan stood up. "You don't have to go for the night shift of the emergency department tonight. Just find a quiet place to write the report. If you think the hospital is too noisy, go home. You can decide on your own arrangements."

"Then I'll go home."

"Okay."

Chu Han nodded. "Close the door when you leave. I didn't sleep last night, and I can't hold on much longer."

"Okay."

Lin Yi turned around and left. He changed into his own clothes and drove home, ready to complete the task that Li Chuhan had given him.

Lin Yi didn't think that the patient that he'd never met before would be of a higher level than that of an ordinary citizen.

Even so, he couldn't be sloppy with something like human life.

Lin Yi didn't do anything else after he got home. He focused on writing the report apart from talking to Ji Qingyan over the phone.

He didn't finish the report until midnight before sending it to Li Chuhan.

Just as Lin Yi was stretching and getting ready to wash up, Li Chuhan called.

"Did you finish this report on your own?"

"Of course. There's no one else in the house besides myself."

After a few seconds of silence, Li Chuhan said.

"The report is excellent!"

Chapter 386

"If you think it's that good, then my hard work didn't go to waste."

"Feel free to come to work anytime tomorrow. Just make sure you turn up," Li Chuhan said.

"Thank you, Director Li."

"Drink a glass of milk before you go to bed. It'll help you sleep. Good night."

"Good night."

The call was short, and Li Chuhan's words were cold as usual.

Lin Yi didn't do anything else. He went to the bathroom to wash up and fell asleep on the bed.

Maybe it was because he was overusing his brain, but he didn't wake up until nine in the morning.

There was a WeChat message from Ji Qingyan on his phone, asking if he had breakfast or had already gone to work.

It was a simple conversation, but there was a hint of warmth to it.

After chatting with Ji Qingyan briefly, Lin Yi went to the bathroom to wash up, then prepared to go to the hospital.

He didn't have to go today, but the system mission was triggered during work.

Therefore, it was better not to go out if he could help it.

Ring, ring, ring..

Just as Lin Yi was washing up, his phone on the washing machine rang.

The person on the phone made Lin Yi's expression freeze. It was Cao Jingqiu.

Lin Yi stopped what he was doing and started thinking. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

If it was about work, she probably wouldn't have contacted him.

It was probably a private matter this time.

Wiping the foam off his mouth, Lin Yi picked up the phone.

"What is it?"

"Mr. Lin, should I call you Director Lin or President Lin?"

"Huh?"

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. Did she know about his identity as the founding director?

Who leaked this news?

"What do you mean by director?"

"President Lin, it's too late now. There's no point in hiding this anymore," Cao Jingqiu said.

"I'd like to know, why did you form a relationship with my brother?"

"We're all businessmen. Businessmen chase after fame and fortune. Don't tell me I'm not allowed to earn my keep?"

With Cao Jingqiu's intelligence, it was useless to deny anything.

It would be better to say it out loud.

"With your talent and strategic mind, I don't believe that you and my brother would have a common topic to discuss," Cao Jingqiu said coldly.

"I also don't believe that you would take the initiative to hand over the production line and warehouse to someone else."

"Look at what you're saying. It's only for your brother to keep temporarily. I'm not giving it to him. As long as I get my money, I don't care about the process."

There was half a minute of silence on the other end of the line. "President Lin, I hope that we can continue doing business on the foundation of peaceful coexistence. Such shady methods won't last long."

"President Cao, look at what you're saying. I just want to earn contract fees. Why are you talking about me like I'm a fraud?"

"You're not such an unambitious person," Cao Jingqiu said. "Sci-Tech might be dead, but in your hands, it might be revived."

"I'm embarrassed to hear you say that," Lin Yi said with a smile. "I'm being hands off mainly because I have other work and don't have time to deal with Sci-Tech."

"Busy?" Cao Jingqiu said. "You're a hands-off boss to Lingyun Group."

"I don't deny that, but I'm busy saving lives every day. Though I admit, it's not any better than being a CEO."

"Busy saving lives?"

"Let me reintroduce myself. I'm currently a doctor in Huashan Hospital's Department of Cardiology. If President Cao has any gynecological problems in the future, you're welcome to call me. Don't bother waiting in line."

"A… a doctor of cardiology?"

"I'll send you my business card later."

Lin Yi hung up as he spoke, his expression darkening.

From what he'd heard from Cao Jingqiu, she seemed to only know that he was the president.

She didn't know anything else.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so passive during the conversation.

There wasn't much to worry about Cao Xiangyu, but he was more guarded against Cao Jingqiu.

However, where did this woman find out that he was the head of Sci-Tech?

Lin Yi felt relieved after thinking about it for a few minutes.

The truth couldn't be kept a secret. Anyone motivated enough would have found out the truth once they dug deep enough.

What more a woman like Cao Jingqiu.

Even so, the current situation didn't seem to affect him much.

Longxin Research Institute, Qi Xianzhao, and He Yuanyuan's identity were the most important things.

As long as this information wasn't exposed, it wouldn't affect his plans.

Cao Jingqiu would never have dreamed that the Longxin Research Institute was related to him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao.

He told the two of them not to expose their identities in front of Cao Jingqiu, or the whole plan might collapse.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi called Shen Tianzhuo as a precaution as well.

"Boss Shen, I need your help with something."

"Why are you being so polite?" Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile. "Tell me what you need."

"Do you have any hackers under you?"

"Hackers? There are a few guys in the team who like to study these things, but their skills are limited. They can't meet your requirements."

Shen Tianzhuo understood Lin Yi's intention. Normal situations weren't worth his attention.

"But many of my former colleagues are experts in this field. Just tell me what you want to do."

"There's a website called 'Heavenly Eye'. It's a place where you can look up information about companies. You should know about it, right? Can you get someone to hack into this website and temporarily change the name of the legal owner of Lingyun Group in Zhonghai to Qin Han?"

Poor Qin Han would take the fall for Lin Yi without even realizing.

"Heavenly Eye?" Shen Tianzhuo muttered. "It's a company in Yanjing, right? Isn't the owner Li Zeming?"

"You know him?"

"He's a former colleague of mine. He used to work at Microsoft. He's a pretty good guy."

"F*ck!"Lin Yi exclaimed. "Boss Shen is awesome. This makes it easier to handle."

"Okay, I'll give him a call now. Oh right, I just thought of something."

"What is it?"

"In the past few days, we've had a small breakthrough in our research and development. The report has been sorted out, and I'll send it to you later. Take a look at it when you're free and come over to sign it when you have time."

"I don't think I should. I didn't do anything. I wouldn't dare to take Director Shen's credit."

"How can that be? Without your support, we wouldn't have been able to develop these things," Shen Tianzhuo said with a smile.

"Got it. I'll take a look at then soon."

"Okay."

…

Fenglan Culture, General Manager's office.

Cao Jingqiu had been sitting in place for more than ten minutes after Lin Yi hung up the phone.

She kept thinking about what Lin Yi had said and felt that it was very suspicious, but she couldn't find any clues.

As for his identity as a doctor, he was definitely making it up. There wasn't any credibility to his claim at all.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Jingqiu could not help but call Cao Xiangyu.

"Brother, where are you?"

"I'm at the factory. What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you. Wait for me at the factory. I'll go over now."

"Aiya, Jingqiu, don't come over yet. I have something to do later. I have to go out. Come over some other time," Cao Xiangyu said.

"Brother has other things to do, so I won't talk to you. That's all."

This was the most critical moment in this sibling power struggle. Hence, the person Cao Xiangyu disliked most at this time was Cao Jingqiu.

He even wished that he could silently arrange for her to get into a car accident.

"No!"

Cao Jingqiu ordered, "No matter what you have on your plate, you have to wait for me at the factory. I have something important to tell you!"

Cao Xiangyu didn't say anything when he saw Cao Jingqiu's unyielding attitude. "Then come quickly. I have something to do later."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Jingqiu took her handbag and car keys then drove to Xiangyang Industrial Area.

However, before starting her car, Cao Jingqiu checked Heavenly Eye and verified that the legal owner of Lingyun Group was indeed Lin Yi. Only then did she feel relieved.

Cao Xiangyu was sitting in his office with his legs crossed, enjoying the service of his female secretary.

Ever since that day, he had stopped smoking after chatting with Lin Yi.

The office door was pushed open and Cao Jingqiu walked in from outside.

"Jingqiu is here. I'll get you a glass of water."

"No need." Cao Jingqiu said.

"I'm here to tell you one thing. End the collaboration with Sci-Tech now! Now! Now!"

Cao Xiangyu was a little stunned.

'What kind of nonsense is she spouting?'

Was he still dreaming, or had she knocked her head and was now having a concussion?

'Does she know that she can't compete with me, so now she's starting to fool around?'

You're a little girl who hasn't even grown her teeth yet, and you want to tell me what to do?

"Jingqiu, do you know how much effort I've put in to take down Sci-Tech?" Cao Xiangyu questioned.

"Do you know how much profit we can make from Sci-Tech's contract manufacturing line? You want me to stop now? Do you know how much the company will end up losing? Where is your head at?!"

"I know this is difficult to accept, but to avoid unnecessary losses, we have to stop!"

Cao Xiangyu's expression was unfriendly, but the person sitting in front of him was his own sister.

Even though he had a lot of resentment in his heart, he hid it well.

"Jingqiu, you're my sister. Even if you make such an unreasonable request, I can still talk to you calmly as long as you give me a proper explanation."

Cao Jingqiu frowned slightly. If she was asked to give a specific reason, she really couldn't answer him.

She had too little information in her hands, and everything was based on her intuition.

However, this wouldn't convince her big brother.

"I've already found out that the person you're working with is called Lin Yi, but he's definitely not a simple character."

There were some things that Cao Jingqiu didn't say directly, for fear of hurting Cao Xiangyu.

From her point of view, her big brother's IQ wasn't on the same level as Lin Yi's.

Lin Yi's abnormal behavior didn't fit his style at all.

There must be some other scheme behind his actions.

"You're right, Lin Yi is indeed not an ordinary person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to deal with him," Cao Xiangyu said.

"But do you know his real identity?"

"What real identity could he have? He's just Wang Tianlong's brother-in-law," Cao Xiangyu said disdainfully.

"It's not as simple as you think. He's the boss behind Lingyun Group and he controls a huge financial company. He's definitely not an ordinary person."

Cao Xiangyu and his secretary were stunned when they heard that.

They didn't expect Lin Yi to have such an identity.

After these few encounters, Cao Xiangyu thought that he knew him like the back of his hand.

He was a greedy and lecherous playboy.

It would be too strange if he had a company behind him.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here to tell you this."

Seeing that Cao Xiangyu had listened to her words, Cao Jingqiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"If you don't believe me, go and check on Heavenly Eye. The company's public information is listed there."

Cao Xiangyu nodded and gave his secretary a look.

"Jiameng, go and look up this Lingyun Group."

"Okay."

Cao Xiangyu's secretary took the computer and searched for information about Lingyun Group on Heavenly Eye. Very quickly, she got the results.

Sitting on the sofa, Cao Jingqiu felt much more relaxed and gratified.

After so many years, he was finally willing to listen to her.

Before she came, she had already confirmed the information on Heavenly Eye. Therefore, there would definitely be no problems.

Once her big brother checked it, he would be able to see what was going on.

Just as Cao Jingqiu thought that she had finally convinced Cao Xiangyu, she saw him sneer.

"Jingqiu, I am really disappointed in you."

Chapter 387

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me what I mean? See for yourself."

Cao Xiangyu's expression turned ugly. He did not even care that the person sitting in front of him was his sister anymore.

Cao Xiangyu turned the computer around. When she saw the content on the computer, Cao Jingqiu was stunned.

This was because Qin Han's name was written in the legal owner's column!

"How… how is this possible?!"

Cao Jingqiu widened her eyes, not understanding what was going on at all.

She had been absolutely sure that Lin Yi was the boss of Lingyun Group, or else he wouldn't have invested in her!

How did the legal owner become Qin Han?

"Impossible, the boss behind Lingyun Group is Lin Yi, I can guarantee that!"

"Then what's going on?" Cao Xiangyu asked coldly.

"You asked me to check Heavenly Eye. Don't tell me you don't believe the information here?"

Seeing Qin Han's name, Cao Jingqiu felt that this scene was unreal.

Her mind spun quickly as she tried to think about how things could have turned out this way.

Before she came here, she had already looked it up herself. She clearly saw that the legal owner of Lingyun Group was Lin Yi!

How long had it been? Less than an hour! How did things turn out like this?!

Even if Lin Yi was powerful, he couldn't have changed the legal owner of the company in such a short period of time!

How did he do it?

"My dear sister, do you really doubt my motives?" Cao Xiangyu said.

"You have already established your own company. You will also be a married girl in the future, so this is like pouring water on the ground. Why do you always have a hard time accepting me? Could it be that you are unwilling to accept my achievements? As a member of the Cao family, it's a little petty for you to do this."

"I'm not being petty!"

Cao Jingqiu shouted coldly, "Since I've gone out to start my own business, I've stopped having thoughts of working under the Cao family's business. I'm just trying to protect the Cao family as much as possible!"

"Protect?"

Cao Xiangyu sneered. His eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. It was hard to imagine that he was looking at his own sister.

"Do you think that asking me to stop the OEM manufacturing contract with Sci-Tech, making the family unable to fulfill the order on time to face a huge penalty for breach of contract is your so-called protection?"

Cao Xiangyu's arrogance was overbearing. He did not even give Cao Jingqiu a chance to speak.

"Or did you want to use this to obstruct my plans? So that father will be biased against me and raise your status in the family? Is that what you are trying to do?"

"At the end of the day, we are of the same bloodline. I am not as despicable as you think."

Cao Jingqiu was so angry that her body was trembling. Her lips were white and even her lipstick could not hide it.

"Then how do you explain the matter in front of you? I hope that you can give me an explanation."

Phew…

Cao Jingqiu let out a heavy breath.

"Since things have come to this, I have nothing more to say. Let's just leave it as it is."

Cao Jingqiu clearly knew that at this point, nothing she said would be of any use.

She might as well just leave it as it was. She could no longer explain things clearly.

"I wish you good luck."

After saying this, Cao Jingqiu took her handbag and left without any hesitation.

Back in the car, Cao Jingqiu calmed down after a few minutes, but she still found it difficult to let the issue rest.

She picked up her phone again and dialed her father's number.

"Jingqiu, I was just about to call you."

"What's the matter?" Cao Jingqiu didn't rush to discuss her own matters and asked instead.

"Your brother called me just now. He said that you arrived at the factory."

"Yes."

Cao Jingqiu's brows were deeply furrowed. A bad premonition spread in her heart.

"What did my brother say?"

"Actually, it's nothing much," Cao Jiadong said with a smile:

"Recently, our Cisco has been doing quite well. Your brother has accomplished a lot, so you don't have to worry about him. How's your media company? Do you need Dad's help?" 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

"You called me just to say this?"

"Yeah, it's nothing major. I just wanted to ask you about your situation."

"It's going fine, don't worry about it."

"By the way, why did you call Dad?"

"It's fine now."

Jingqiu hung up the phone and threw it to the side. She leaned back in her chair weakly.

"Lin Yi's gonna kill all of you sooner or later." Cao Jingqiu said.

…

At Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Lin Yi drove to Huashan Hospital after settling Cao Jingqiu's matter.

The moment he entered the hospital, Lin Yi felt that the atmosphere in the hospital was different from the day before. It was a lot more serious and depressing.

There were more than a dozen jeeps and A6s parked in the parking lot, with black and white plates on them.

Lin Yi thought of the special patient when he saw the plates.

It was probably because of him that so many military cars were parked here.

However, there was also a red civic parked here that was very eye-catching.

The red logo showed that it was a Type R.

Although it didn't look very different from a normal civic, the price was vastly different.

The Civic Type R was sold for 800,000 yuan in Huaxia. It was more than enough to buy an entry-level sports car.

"There are quite a few people who know their cars in this country."

Lin Yi muttered as he parked the car. At that moment, Shen Tianzhuo's report was sent over.

There was a line of notes at the bottom reminding Lin Yi to sign his name as one of the developers.

Lin Yi glanced at the report since he had nothing to do.

He suddenly had the feeling that an expert would know when to act.

The topics involved in this work were too complex, and even he, an expert in the chip field, couldn't understand them.

He didn't have these feelings when he read Lu Ying and Sun Fuyu's report back then.

He glanced at it briefly, and thought for a few seconds. Then, he closed the email and called Tianzhuo.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the report?" Shen Tianzhuo asked.

"How could there be anything wrong with Director Shen's work?" Lin Yi said. "I want to add the column for 'mentor' at the bottom of the report. Ask Lu Ying to change it and send it to me later."

"It's a small matter. I'll send it to you later."

"Okay, there's no rush."

Shen Tianzhuo didn't know why Lin Yi was doing this, but it wasn't something he needed to care about. He just needed to do his research properly.

Soon, the revised documents were sent over again. Lin Yi immediately went to the 8th Inpatient Department of the cardiology department.

According to the rotation order, he should be resting today and not going to the emergency department.

However, the system mission was triggered during work, so he had to come to the department and ask Li Chuhan to assign some tasks to him.

When he arrived at the department, he saw busy figures everywhere. Apart from Qiao Xin, there was no one he knew here.

It was obvious that she had just arrived as well. In order to leave a good impression on the leader, she had only rested at home for a while.

"Lin Bro, you're here." Qiao Xin greeted when she saw Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded. "Where did Director Li go? What task did she assign to us today?"

"I just arrived too. I haven't seen Director Li yet." Qiao Xin said.

"But I heard that Director Li has an important surgery today. I don't know when she'll be able to come by."

"Then I'll stay here."

Not long after, Li Chuhan rushed in from outside. Cao Jiawang and Zhou Ziqiang were following her.

Zhou Ziqiang smiled arrogantly when he saw Lin Yi, as if he was superior to everyone else.

"Director Li." Qiao Xin greeted when she saw Li Chuhan.

"You just finished the night shift yesterday. Why are you here so early?"

"I slept well. I wanted to come back to the department to study."

"You two don't have any shifts today. If you have nothing to do, go to the emergency department. If you're tired, go to rest. You can take care of yourselves."

"Got it, Director Li."

"Sigh, I really envy you guys. You don't have any tasks today. Now, you can just go to the emergency department to pass the time," Zhou Ziqiang said.

"The same can't be said for me. I was on the night shift yesterday, and I have to sit in on the surgery consultation later. I can't even keep my eyelids open right now."

"If you're tired, go back and rest. Lin Yi wasn't on duty yesterday, so I asked him to come over," Li Chuhan said.

Zhou Ziqiang, "…"

Director Li, did you come here to ruin the show?

"No, no, I'm just making small talk. I'm not sleepy at all," Zhou Ziqiang said awkwardly.

Cao Jiawang didn't say a word, his face unsightly.

Qiao Xin smiled as she organized her study materials, preparing to go to the emergency department to study. Lin Yi had the same plan.

"Lin Yi."

The moment Lin Yi turned around, Li Chuhan called out to him from behind.

"What's the matter?"

Li Chuhan paused for a second. "Don't keep running around later. Remember to keep your phone on."

"Got it."

Lin Yi was a little confused. He didn't know what Li Chuhan meant by that.

Could he still be needed for the surgery later?

Had he missed something?

Chapter 388

After Lin Yi left, Li Chuhan and the other two returned to the consultation room with a pile of documents in their hands.

Cardiovascular surgery had always been an extremely complicated surgery ever since ancient times.

This made it inevitable that such a surgery would require multi-disciplinary experts. If there was a single mistake, it would fail.

At this moment, all the technical backbones and high-level leaders of Huashan Hospital had gathered here.

This was to ensure that the surgery was flawless.

Other than that, there were two men in military uniforms in the corner of the consultation room. They did not say a word and merely listened quietly.

The person sitting at the head of the consultation room was a short, slightly fat man.

The hair on his temples had already turned white. He was at least fifty years old.

The man's name was Miao Guofeng. He was the director of Huashan Hospital and the top vascular surgeon in the country. He was also the chief surgeon for this operation.

Although Miao Guofeng was the chief surgeon, he was only responsible for part of the surgery.

Diseases like aneurysms were not rare in the country. Therefore, all of them had plenty of experience in treating this.

However, the biggest difficulty was with the multiple phases they would encounter during the surgery.

If one part went wrong, then all the efforts would be in vain.

"We discussed eight possible risks just now. The biggest risk is with the suturing of the artificial blood vessel."

After saying that, Miao Guofeng looked at Duan Yongchun. "Old Duan, will there be a problem here?"

Duan Yongchun shook his head. "No problem. I have the ability to handle it."

After getting a positive answer, Miao Guofeng felt a lot more at ease. He then looked at Li Chuhan and said,

"Director Li, the patient's current situation is not very optimistic. The diameter of the ascending aorta is very large, and the false lumen is also very large. The true lumen is close to closing, and it could rupture at any time. The surgery will be very difficult. Are you mentally prepared?"

"I have already mitigated the risk to keep it as low as possible. Throughout the entire country, no one will be able to better reduce the risk. Even if my teacher came back from the dead, he would only be able to do so much. Please rest assured, Boss, I will do my job well."

"Okay!" Miao Guofeng said.

"There are no problems with any aspects now. Tell all departments to prepare. The surgery will begin in thirty minutes."

"Wait!"

Just as everyone left the table to prepare for the surgery, Li Chuhan called out to everyone.

"Director Li, do you have anything to add?" Miao Guofeng asked.

"I think there's something wrong with the suturing plan."

"There's something wrong with the suturing plan?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the consultation room became uneasy.

Especially the two men in military uniforms, whose expressions became even stranger.

"Director Li, what do you think is wrong?" Duan Yongchun said with an unfriendly expression.

"The preparation of the suturing plan is insufficient, and the suturing method also needs to be investigated. There is too much unknown for a surgery which is at risk of constant fluctuation."

"Director Li, I have decades of rich experience in the field of surgery. I've performed thousands of surgeries of all sizes. Are you doubting my experience and skil?"

"I believe in Director Duan's ability, but the patient's situation is very special. It's very likely that there will be many complications. We should prepare a more precise surgical plan before the surgery," Li Chuhan said.

Miao Guofeng was a little confused. Duan Yongchun was a top surgical expert in the country. In terms of suturing, even he was inferior to him.

Department Director Li was even worse off.

Why did she choose to question Old Duan at this time?

Could it be that she had a better plan?

"Department Director Li, this is a surgery, not a game. If you question my plan, you can come up with a better plan to convince me."

Li Chuhan took the USB and inserted it into the computer.

"This is a suturing plan made by a doctor in our cardiology department. I think it's pretty good. It can reduce the risk by at least 20%. You can try it."

"Your department's plan?"

Miao Guofeng's gaze fell on the other three directors of the cardiology department.

"Which one of you wrote it?"

Cao Jiawang, Liu Yongsheng, and Fan Shufang looked at each other. They didn't remember coming up with such a plan.

"This plan wasn't written by the three directors. It was written by a new doctor in our department, Lin Yi."

"Lin Yi?"

The three directors almost jumped up when they heard Lin Yi's name.

"Director Li, are you kidding me? Lin Yi just started work yesterday and he has no clinical experience at all. The proposal he wrote is worthless!"

Cao Jiawang was about to vomit blood. What was going through Li Chuhan's mind?

Was she trying to recommend Lin Yi just because he was handsome?

This was surgery, not a child's play!

"This was written by a houseman?"

Guofeng Miao's face was gloomy, and he had a disapproving expression on his face.

What was going on with Li Chuhan? How could hse still have the mood to mess around at a time like this?!

"Director Li, I think you understand the importance of this surgery. I hope you can give me some constructive suggestions."

"I really think that Lin Yi's plan is very solid. Everyone can look at the contents of the plan first before passing judgment."

Li Chuhan stood up, "This report lists a total of fourteen possible sutures, including the risks that we didn't expect. Different types of sutures are recommended to be used on different tissues and organs. This will greatly reduce the risk of the surgery and the patient's recovery after the surgery will be better."

Li Chuhan continued flipping through the PowerPoint.

"He also prepared an animation demonstration in this report. The same issues will have different recovery processes if different sutures are used, so I think this report is more accurate and more suitable for this surgery."

Everyone in the consultation room was in awe when they saw Lin Yi's PowerPoint report.

The complexity of the presentation was beyond their imagination.

No one would have thought that it would be written by an houseman if Li Chuhan hadn't mentioned it.

Everyone's eyes fell on Duan Yongchun after Li Chuhan went through the contents of the PowerPoint.

He was an expert in surgery in the country, so he naturally had the right to speak.

"This is nonsense. These are all the academic theories, and they're not suitable for an ever-changing surgery. Those animation presentations were all made up by his imagination, and they're useless in actual application."

Miao Guofeng was silent for a long time before he looked at Li Chuhan and said,

"Director Li, tell me your thoughts."

"I want Lin Yi to participate in this surgery. I know his skill level, and his participation might unexpectedly benefit us."

"I disagree!"

The person who spoke was Duan Guowei, and he didn't look too good at that moment.

"Just because he performed an outstanding emergency suture yesterday, you think he has the ability to perform today's surgery? Isn't that too much of a joke?"

Chapter 389

"Yesterday's emergency suture was only one part of it. I tested him afterward, and the results surprised me. With this report, I think Lin Yi has the qualifications to be an assistant in the operating theater."

"You want him to be my assistant?!"

Duan Yongchun looked disdainful. "He's just a houseman, and he probably hasn't even been in a real operating theater before. What are you thinking by letting him participate in such an important surgery?"

"It's precisely because this surgery is so important. I want to reduce the risk as much as possible."

"I don't agree," Duan Yongchun said decisively.

"I don't want to let someone who doesn't have any surgical experience become my assistant. Not only will it not reduce the risk, but it will even increase the risk."

"This is only a suggestion. You have the right to reject it."

The consultation room quieted down. No one had expected something like this to happen in the final stage of the consultation.

They didn't expect Li Chuhan and Duan Yongchun to have such an intense argument.

Guofeng Miao, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't say a word.

His eyes were fixed on the PowerPoint slides on the projector.

Whether it was purely theoretical, or combined with practice, this report was perfect.

Putting aside whether the young doctor called Lin Yi had any surgical experience, this PowerPoint alone was enough to prove his talent.

About a minute later, Guofeng Miao looked at the two men in military uniforms and said.

"What do you think?"

"We are amateurs in surgery. It's not right and we don't have the right to interfere in this matter. Director Miao, you are an expert in this field. Everything is up to you to decide."

After thinking for a few seconds, Guofeng looked at Li Chuhan.

"Then let's bring Lin Yi into the operating room, but only as a spectator. It'll be good for him to gain some experience."

Miao Guofeng was very experienced, and did not do anything to offend either Li Chuhan nor Duan Yongchun.

However, Duan Yongchun's expression wasn't very good.

This was because he didn't want Lin Yi to enter the operating room at all.

However, facing Miao Guofeng's words and Li Chuhan's own strength, he couldn't say anything else. He could only nod and agree.

Meanwhile, Li Chuhan was expressionless. No one knew what she was thinking.

"Alright, the consultation is over. All departments prepare for the final examination of the patient. The operation will begin in thirty minutes."

Hearing Miao Guofeng's order, all the doctors in the consultation room started preparing for the next operation.

At this moment, a tall woman in blue jeans was standing outside the consultation room.

The woman's hair was tied up neatly, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were shining with worry.

The woman in front of her was none other than Liang Ruoxu.

Seeing the door to the consultation room open, Liang Ruoxu hurried over to the two men in military uniforms.

"How's the situation? Why did you take so long to come out?"

"There was a dispute in the final stage. Fortunately, it was resolved peacefully. Now, they want to do the final examination on the chief. The surgery will take place soon," said one of the men in military uniforms.

"What did they say about the risk? Is it serious?"

"It's hard to say. Their Director Li said that the risk has been reduced as much as possible. Based on the domestic environment, this hospital should be the safest place to conduct the operation."

Liang Ruoxu's expression was solemn. "From the looks of it, we can only take it one step at a time."

"I believe that the chief will be fine."

"Yeah, I think so too."

…

Lin Yi and Qiao Xin went to the emergency center and tidied up before they started working.

"Lin Bro, you can take the lead today. I'll write your medical records and medical advice for you." Qiao Xin smiled. "Give me a chance to learn."

"Don't say that. We're on the same level. There's no need to talk about learning."

"Don't be modest. I saw it when you stitched up the patient yesterday. Even Director Li praised your skills, so your level must be above mine. I'm not in a very good state either. You should take the lead today."

"Alright, I'll take the lead today and we can swap tomorrow."

"Okay."

Qiao Xin looked at Lin Yi with eyes full of stars.

Lin Yi was so handsome, so skilled, and so kind.

Was there anyone in the world more perfect than him?

There definitely wasn't.

If there was, the person wasn't human.

There were a lot of patients in the emergency department, but a lot of them were just panicked.

Their injuries looked serious, but in reality, it was nothing.

Lin Yi could handle them with ease.

Creak.

Just as Lin Yi was finishing his examination of a patient and asking Qiao Xin to write the patient's medical advice, he saw a middle-aged woman rushing in from outside.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yi asked.

"Doctor, look at me, my stomach is killing me."

"Wait a few minutes, I'll check you after I finish writing the patient's medical advice."

"What's the need for medical advice? Let me take a look at him, he doesn't seem to be sick at all. Let's go, don't delay my treatment."

Lin Yi frowned. He was about to speak when the honest-looking elder brother said,

"Doctor, I've remembered all the medicine you prescribed me. You listed down the things I need to pay attention to earlier. There's no need to write down the medical advice, you can attend to this elder sister first."

"Alright."

Seeing that the patient did not mind, Lin Yi was indifferent. He turned to the middle-aged woman and said,

"Sit down, give me your medical card."

"Medical card? What medical card?"

"The medical card they gave you when you registered."

"There were too many people waiting at the registry, so I didn't register. You should check me first."

"No registration? How can I check you if you didn't register?"

"There are so many people waiting at the emergency centre window. How long will it take? You have to check me first. My illness is urgent."

"Your illness is urgent, but others aren't?"

"I'm already so old, and there are so many young people behind me. They will be fine waiting a short time. Their situations aren't as important as mine. Check me first."

"Either you go queue up or go to another hospital. Don't take advantage of your seniority here."

Lin Yi thought that he was a good-tempered person, but he couldn't help but get angry when he met such a person.

"Young man, what are you saying? I'm not bored enough to do that, and you're still young. How dare you claim that I'm taking advantage of my seniority!" The middle-aged woman pointed at Lin Yi's nose and said, "Believe it or not, I'll file a complaint against you!" 𝘭𝑖𝑏𝘳ℯ𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I'm already flattering you by saying that. Get lost!"

Seeing Lin Yi's cold eyes, the middle-aged woman was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything. She left the room with her tail between her legs.

"What a narcisist. There are all kinds of people here," Lin Yi muttered.

"Yeah, yeah, Lin Bro is right," Qiao Xin praised.

Lin Bro was so domineering just now. He was so manly. This was how she had to deal with such an unreasonable person in the future!

Sye had to learn as well.

At this moment, the handsome buff was on full display.

Lin Yi's scolding was viewed as manly. An ugly person scolding was viewed as uncultured and rude.

"Next."

Lin Yi called out. Ten seconds later, a young woman in simple clothes walked in.

Her looks and figure weren't bad, but her expression was a bit intriguing.

The patient was very proactive. She handed in her medical card in advance, but her eyes were sparkling.

"Describe your symptoms first. Where are you feeling unwell?" Lin Yi asked.

"Doctor, can I discuss something with you?" The woman asked tentatively.

"Go ahead."

"Can I get this female doctor to see me?"

Chapter 390

Lin Yi and Qiao Xin immediately guessed her condition.

"You want to see a gynecologist, right?" Qiao Xin asked.

"Yes, yes…"

Qiao Xin changed her position and looked at the female patient.

"First of all, I want to clarify something with you. I'm also a woman and I understand a lot of things, but you have to understand that this is a hospital. Some of the sensitive parts to you are just ordinary organs to us. You have to believe that the doctors in Huashan Hospital are all professionals.

"Second, Doctor Lin's is higher ranked than me. Just tell him if there's anything you need to say so as not to delay your treatment. It won't be good for you either."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin.

What do you mean higher than yours? You make me sound like a gynecologist.

"Yes, it's like this…" the young woman stuttered for a long time, making Lin Yi and Qiao Xin anxious.

"The cucumber broke."

"Ah? Say that again, what's broken?"

"Yellow, cucumber…"

The two looked at each other. They were both adults, and they were both doctors at the hospital, so they guessed what she was saying right away.

Qiao Xin glanced at the young woman's abdomen. "It can't have broken in there, right?" 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮

The woman's face was unbearably red, and her voice was barely audible.

"Mmm…"

"Xixnxin, you can handle this. You're both women, so you know better than me."

"Brother Lin, what are you talking about? I've never broken one before," Qiao Xin explained.

"Never broken one before? That means that your technique is good, and you're even more qualified than me to guide her."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I've just never used a cucumber before."

"I'm pretty much in the same boat. You should do it."

Qiao Xin led the female patient to the cubicle at the back helplessly.

A few minutes later, he heard a sound as though somebody was in extreme comfort. The lady probably couldn't control herself.

Soon, Qiao Xin and the girl walked out. The female patient's expression had returned to normal.

"Brother Lin, how do you write this medical advice?" Qiao Xin asked.

Lin Yi thought for a few seconds. "I suggest eggplant next time."

Pfft!

Qiao Xin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Brother Lin was really an expert!

The female patient took Qiao Xin's medical advice slip and left in embarrassment. This was too embarrassing.

"Brother Lin, I can see that you're an experienced driver."

"Actually, I haven't drove for a long time. This guess was mainly because of my talent," Lin Yi said.

"For example, that female patient just now used a cucumber from the northeast. It's very likely to have come from the Longjiang Province."

"Why?"

"Not only is Longjiang an old industrial base, it's also a large agricultural province. The cucumbers produced there are full of refreshing liquid and are especially suitable for eating raw, but the only drawback is that they break easily."

"However, southern cucumbers are different. They're tough enough not to eat raw, so they don't break easily."

"Although the southern cucumbers have a natural advantage for this use, they're still no match for eggplant. After all, they are covered in sharp bumps."

"Lin Bro, I think you're wrong. I'm going to refute you," Qiao Xin said.

"My theory is so solid. Can could you possibly still refute me?"

"There are certain toys covered in such bumps. You should know that, right? This kind of surface could even be preferred in certain cases."

"Oh, right." Lin Yi suddenly understood. "Xinxin, I think we have a good partnership. If I ever join a rally, I'll definitely ask you to be my navigator."

"Ah, Lin Bro, I was just joking." Qiao Xin said as she covered her face.

Ring, ring, ring…

Just as the two were exchanging experiences, Lin Yi's phone rang. It was Li Chuhan calling.

"Director Li."

"Come to the 13th floor of the hospital. You can join in as my assistant for the surgery later. Hurry up."

Lin Yi was stunned. She was really going to let him join?

This woman was really bold!

"Got it."

Li Chuhan's room was on the 13th floor of the 8th inpatient department. She had simplified the address to save time.

"Director Li needs me for something. You can take charge of the emergency department."

"Okay."

Lin Yi quickly walked to the 13th floor of the 8th inpatient department.

He'd barely taken a few steps when Lin Yi stopped in his tracks.

This was because he saw Liang Ruoxu.

At the same time, Liang Ruoxu saw him as well.

Their gazes met midway, but Lin Yi was calm enough to guess why Liang Ruoxu was here.

Liang Ruoxu, on the other hand, was confused!

She wouldn't have said anything if Lin Yi was wearing casual clothes.

However, he was wearing a white lab coat and a mask. What was that supposed to mean?!

"You… What are you doing here?"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lin Yi, a doctor of cardiology, and Director Li's assistant."

"Ah!?"

Liang Ruoxu could never remain calm when she heard the news, no matter how prepared she was.

He was a second-generation billionaire, the director of Longxin, and a world-class chip expert…

None of these identities had anything to do with being a doctor!

Such a professional skillset wasn't something you could learn on your own!

Besides, only a genius like Li Chuhan would be qualified to perform a surgery of this level without at least ten years of clinical experience.

How did Lin Yi do it?

"Little Sister, do you know each other?" One of the men in military uniform asked.

"Yes, his name is Lin Yi." Liang Ruoxu nodded, but she didn't reveal Lin Yi's other identity.

This was because she still didn't understand what was going on.

"So you are Doctor Lin." The middle-aged man reached out his hand. "Hello, Gao Chong."

"Hello, Lin Yi."

"Oh? You guys know each other?"

"Just now in the consultation room, the doctors from Huashan Hospital quarreled because of him. Director Li took his suturing report and convinced Director Miao. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here."

"No way. The most difficult part of the surgery is the suturing. The suturing report was actually written by him?"

"That's right," Gao Chong said.

"I just sent the report to the general doctor and the latter gave him a very high evaluation. Doctor Lin's skill is definitely good enough."

Liang Ruoxu's head buzzed.

Brother Gao had always been proud and arrogant. For him to give such a high evaluation was enough to prove that Lin Yi's suture skill had reached a very high level.

However, this job required a lot of experience. How could he have such high skill at such a young age?

If he was only proficient in one thing, it could be explained by pure genius.

However, Lin Yi was different!

He was also an expert in the field of microchips!

And most importantly, he was a rich second generation!

At that moment, Liang Ruoxu's head was filled with stars.

Lin Yi was so rich, so why did he always pursue unexpected and impossible things?

Could it be that he wasn't interested in women anymore?

This wasn't right!

Chapter 391

Liang Ruoxu thought about it.

This couldn't be right.

Even if all the men in the world stopped liking women, this guy wouldn't.

When he hugged her the day before yesterday, he hugged her tighter than anyone else ever had.

Liang Ruoxu shook her head. She didn't want to think about it anymore. As long as it could help with the surgery, she would let anyone do it.

As for Lin Yi's secret, he could ask about it later.

At the same time, Li Chuhan, Miao Guofeng, and Duan Yongchun walked over with the other doctors, but their expressions were all different.

Li Chuhan was expressionless.

Miao Guofeng nodded in satisfaction.

Duan Yongchun, on the other hand, had a cold expression on his face.

"Let's go. Everything's ready. We can start the surgery now."

Lin Yi nodded. Just as he was about to enter, Liang Ruoxu grabbed his hand.

"Please."

"I know what I'm doing when it comes to life and death."

Lin Yi turned around and entered the operating room. Everything here was unfamiliar to him.

However, with the help of the sage's wisdom, he knew every instrument here.

After cleaning up, he put on the surgical gown and started the operation.

Li Chuhan turned around and looked at Lin Yi. "Although you are coming in as an assistant, you are only qualified to watch. You have to learn from this. It's a valuable experience."

"Will I really just watch? Won't I have anything to do?" Lin Yi asked.

There was a few seconds of silence. "Help me wipe my sweat if necessary."

"Okay."

Duan Yongchun snorted disdainfully. "Don't faint from shock either."

Lin Yi leaned over to Li Chuhan's ear. "Director Li, the Duan Peng we met yesterday is his nephew, right?"

"Yeah."

Lin Yi smiled. "As expected."

Soon, the patient was pushed in. It was an old man with grizzled hair. He weighed over 180 pounds and looked very amiable.

People with this kind of figure could be seen everywhere in society, but from a medical perspective, they were considered obese.

The old man was still conscious when he came in, but he was in a dazed state.

However, the moment he saw Lin Yi, his dazed eyes seemed to flash with a strange light.

However, it quickly dimmed because the anesthetist made his move.

"Let's begin the surgery," Miao Guofeng whispered.

With that order, the doctors in the operating room started working together like a sophisticated machine.

Lin Yi watched from afar. What Miao Guofeng removed wasn't blood, but oil.

He was too fat.

It was all fat.

Although he had some surgical knowledge in his mind, the effect was completely different from watching it live. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢

While watching this surgery, the knowledge in Lin Yi's head seemed to have been integrated. He even knew what they were going to do next.

The rest of the work was to wipe Li Chuhan's sweat.

Although it was a small action, Li Chuhan felt that Lin Yi had grasped the timing perfectly every time he wiped her sweat.

He would only come when she relaxed a little.

It seemed like a simple action, but it was hard to do without years of surgery and clinical experience.

"Start the vascular exchange and start the circulatory device!" Miao Guofeng said.

At this point, Li Chuhan and Miao Guofeng's work was temporarily completed.

The rest was left to Duan Yongchun.

"How could this be?!"

Just as Duan Yongchun was about to replace the artificial blood vessel, he found that the blood vessel had been squeezed together by other swollen organs

"No, the wall of the blood vessel is too thin. It can't be sewn at all!" Said Duan Yongchun.

"What are you talking about? You can't sow it even with your skill?" Miao Guofeng exclaimed.

"No one can do it!" Duan Yongchun said.

"The blood vessel on the inner side has already adhered to the axillary artery. There is only a thin layer covering it. If I use the needle to puncture it, he will definitely start losing blood. In less than a minute, the patient will lose his vital signs!"

"Is there no other way?" Miao Guofeng confirmed again.

He knew clearly what this surgery meant.

"There is really no other way," Duan Yongchun said weakly.

"I have come into contact with similar patients before. As soon as the needle went in, a large portion of the blood vessel wall ruptured. There had been no chance of rescue."

"You are sure that there is no way to suture it, right?"

"Yes, in all of Huaxia, no one can do this."

Everyone present was a surgical expert, so they naturally understood the severity of the problem.

No one here was an alarmist.

Based on the current situation, if they did not perform this surgery, the patient could live for a few more days. If they went through with it, he would die immediately.

The atmosphere in the operating theater was deathly silent, as if they were facing a catastrophe.

Live a few more days, or die now.

This seemed to be a very simple question, but at this moment, it became exceptionally difficult.

Miao Guofeng's gaze swept over everyone.

"Let's stop the surgery. Let Old Mr. Yang live as long as possible and explain everything to him. This is the only thing we can do."

Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun took a step back. The former said to Li Chuhan,

"Let's sew it up. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Got it," Li Chuhan replied indifferently. This was the outcome that she least wanted to see, but it had really happened.

This was nothing to do with how important the patient lying in front of her was.

It was just that she was powerless in front of him.

Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun took off their masks and walked out. When she saw the two of them coming out, Liang Ruoxu and Gao Chong rushed forward.

The other people guarding outside also followed behind the two of them, surrounding Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun.

"Director Miao, what's the result?" Liang Ruoxu asked with hope in her eyes.

"The patient's condition is very bad. The blood vessels have reached the point where they can't be sutured. If we force the surgery, he might not even be able to walk out of the operating theater. Director Li is sewing him up now. This can buy Mr. Yang a few more days. I'm sorry, we have tried our best."

"What the hell?!"

Gao Chong roared, giving Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun a shock.

"You didn't mention this during the consultation. Can't it still be treated? How could such a situation happen now?!"

"I'm sorry, we really did our best," Miao Guofeng said apologetically.

"With the current medical standards in Huaxia, no one can perform such a suturing operation. We never wanted this to happen, but we really have no choice. Mr. Yang's condition is too serious. It has already exceeded our imagination."

"Brother Gao, calm down. This is surgery. Anything could have happened."

"Damn it!"

Gao Chong swore and rushed toward the operating theater.

"Brother Gao, calm down!" Liang Ruoxu chased after him, trying to stop sublime!

However!

The moment Gao Chong pushed open the operating theater door, he unexpectedly heard a cold shout.

"Get out! The patient can still be treated!"

Liang Ruoxu's head was buzzing!

"It's Lin Yi's voice!"

Chapter 392

The cold shout stopped Gao Chong and the others.

Gao Chong and Liang Ruoxu subconsciously looked at each other because they could tell that it was Lin Yi's voice.

"There… there's still hope."

Liang Ruoxu's head hurt, because the situation in front of her was a mess.

There was no need to doubt Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun's qualifications, but both of them had already sentenced Elder Yang to death.

Even so, Lin Yi still claimed that there was a possibility for treatment.

Was this for real?

Liang Ruoxu held on tightly to Gao Chong and said seriously,

"Let's get out of here first. We can only hope for the best at this point."

Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun, who were standing outside the door, lost their composure.

They didn't know what was going on inside, and they didn't know why Lin Yi would say something like that.

Was there really a way?

"Old Duan, let's go in and take a look," Miao Guofeng said.

"Okay!"

"You two stay here. No one else can go in," Gao Chong said coldly.

"But we are…"

"Who you are is none of my concern. If Doctor Lin doesn't say anything, I won't let anyone in."

The two doctors thus stood at the door, not daring to say anything.

Although they didn't know who this man was, it didn't seem like they could afford to provoke him. Now, they could only wait and see.

In the operating room, Li Chuhan's beautiful eyes were darting around. To be honest, she really couldn't think of a way to treat a patient in this state.

"I don't know if my technique will work either, but I can only give it a try now," Lin Yi said with a serious expression.

"What's your technique? Tell me, I'll take care of the details."

"No need, I'll do it myself." Lin Yi was unusually calm at the moment.

This was the first time he was filled with respect for life.

"Your suturing skills are outstanding, but in terms of surgery, you're inferior to me," Li Chuhan said.

"But the patient's identity isn't ordinary. Whoever performs the surgery will have to bear most of the responsibility. I'll do it."

Li Chuhan's heart trembled. Her heart, which had been silent for many years, was beating violently at that moment.

"I'm not afraid of taking responsibility. I just want to treat the patient as best as possible."

"Then I'll be the chief surgeon," Lin Yi said.

"If something were to happen to him, at least one of us will be fired. You know what I'm like. If I need to leave, I'll leave. But you're different. You're one of the best doctors in Huashan Hospital. Without you, how many patients will be forced to receive inferior treatment? Have you thought about that?"

Li Chuhan looked up at Lin Yi, and their gazes locked in mid-air.

In that instant, Lin Yi saw stubbornness and tenacity in her pure eyes.

It was a kind of blind faith that was close to sickness, yet as firm as a mountain.

"There's nothing I can do for this patient. Since you claim there's still a way to help him, I don't mind being your assistant. However, if a medical accident really occurs and you end up being fired, then I'll go with you," Li Chuhan said seriously.

"I studied medicine in university because I wanted to treat patients in critical situations. Other small hospitals may not be as good as Huashan Hospital, but they're still places where I can treat patients and save lives. That's enough for me."

"Director Li, if you don't mind, can you help me wipe my sweat?"

Although he was wearing a mask, he could see that Li Chuhan was smiling.

"Sure."

"Alright, Let's start the surgery now."

The reason why Lin Yi insisted on being the chief surgeon was because he still had a trump card in his hand.

This trump card was the lucky card that the system had once rewarded him!

The time limit of the lucky card was five minutes, and it could only be used on himself.

Lin Yi didn't know if the lucky card could be used during this surgery. Even so, he could only gamble it at this time!

In his mind, Lin Yi pulled up the system interface.

He found the lucky card that had been stored for a long time.

"System, activate the Lucky Card!"

[ The lucky card has been activated. The time limit is five minutes, 5:00,4:59,4:58… ]

The moment the lucky card was activated, Lin Yi said,

"Start the extracorporeal circulation and start the aorta circulation."

"Doctor Lin, it's been started," the scrub nurse said.

"Pay attention to the blood oxygen supply to the brain."

"Roger that!"

It was obviously impossible to complete such a complicated operation in just five minutes. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Lin Yi wouldn't have such unrealistic dreams.

However, as long as he could sew up that small piece of fragile blood vessel wall within five minutes, the rest would be easier to handle.

Lin Yi looked up at Li Chuhan. "The patient is overweight and needs a two-way cardiopulmonary bypass."

"Got it. I'll do it now."

"Also, we need to do the axillary and brachial artery dissociation."

"No problem. Leave it to me."

"The patient's subcutaneous fat is too thick. Help me control and lock down the blood vessels later."

"Okay," Li Chuhan agreed meticulously.

All the processes were completed within two minutes.

What came next was the most crucial step.

Because the lucky card only lasted for five minutes, Lin Yi didn't dare to waste even a second.

After the blood vessels were exposed, he immediately cut them off and started suturing the artificial blood vessels.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Director Miao had stopped the surgery just now because Director Duan was unable to complete this step.

Just a single needle would cause a large portion of the blood vessels to rupture. Even resuscitation would be impossible if that were to happen!

Whether or not they could succeed depended on this step!

In the next few seconds, Li Chuhan and the few assistant nurses saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives!

They saw Lin Yi combine the weak blood vessels together and then accurately and neatly place the needle!

The blood vessel wall remained intact!

It could be sutured!

If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the operating room, everyone present would have screamed at the top of their lungs!

Doctor Lin's operation was simply too magical. It was simply unimaginable!

However, at this moment, no one could understand how nervous Lin Yi was!

Without a doubt, the lucky card played a role in this operation!

However, if he couldn't complete the suture of this fragile vascular wall within three minutes, all his efforts would be in vain!

As time passed, cold sweat dripped down Lin Yi's forehead.

Li Chuhan took the gauze and gently wiped the sweat off Lin Yi's forehead.

At the same time, her heart started beating faster.

"It's done!"

Two and a half minutes passed, and Lin Yi cried out in surprise!

The fragile blood vessel wall had been sewn shut, so the next step was the routine operation.

As long as he relied on the master-level suturing skills in his mind, he would be able to deal with the following task.

However, he still had to be careful with every movement he made.

If there was even the slightest error, the patient wouldn't be able to get off the operating table!

The operation lasted for a total of three hours.

When Lin Yi cut the stitch, he realized that his clothes were soaked through.

Li Chuhan raised her head, her pure eyes shining brightly.

Pride.

Satisfaction.

And a hint of admiration.

"You're amazing."

The two high-fived in the air.

"I'm happy to have worked together."

"It's my honor," Li Chuhan said.

Lin Yi took off his mask and walked out of the operating room.

Liang Ruoxu went up to Lin Yi as soon as he came out.

"How's the situation?"

"I'm so damn tired. Surgery isn't designed for humans."

Chapter 393

The cold shout stopped Gao Chong and the others.

Gao Chong and Liang Ruoxu subconsciously looked at each other because they could tell that it was Lin Yi's voice.

"There… there's still hope."

Liang Ruoxu's head hurt, because the situation in front of her was a mess.

There was no need to doubt Miao Guofeng and Duan Yongchun's qualifications, but both of them had already sentenced Elder Yang to death.

"Okay!"

"You two stay here. No one else can go in," Gao Chong said coldly.

"But we are…"

"Who you are is none of my concern. If Doctor Lin doesn't say anything, I won't let anyone in."

The two high-fived in the air.

"I'm happy to have worked together."

"It's my honor," Li Chuhan said.

Lin Yi took off his mask and walked out of the operating room.

Liang Ruoxu went up to Lin Yi as soon as he came out.

"How's the situation?"

"I'm so damn tired. Surgery isn't designed for humans."

Chapter 394

Liang Ruoxu knew that Lin Yi's mouth was always spewing nonsense, so she didn't care about such trivial things.

She got into her car after leaving the hospital when her phone rang in her bag.

It was her grandfather calling.

"Are you done with your meeting?"

"I've said what I needed to say. I won't be attending the rest of the meeting," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"How's Old Yang doing? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said he'll live for another few decades." Liang Ruoxu recalled what Lin Yi said when he walked out of the operating room, "The doctor also said that Old Mr. Yang would be fine even if he died. He could even burn incense for him."

"Look at what he's saying. These people are all around my age. It's hard to say how long Old Yang will live after the surgery."

"Grandpa, you're being too narrow-minded if you say that."

"What's wrong? How am I being narrow-minded? Don't judge me by my age. You really can't compare to me."

"You're already so old, yet you're still comparing yourself to your granddaughter. How can you be so shameless?"

"I have to remind you that I'm not muddle-headed."

"Yes, yes, yes. Old Mr. Liang is the pillar of the country. He's an unparalleled scholar. No one can compare to you," Liang Ruoxu said with a smile.

"But this time, the one who performed the surgery on Mr. Yang is a young doctor and a friend of mine."

"A young doctor? Your friend?" Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said, "This is too ridiculous. Your friends are all in Yanjing, and not many of them are studying medicine."

"Couldn't they be one of my new friends in Zhonghai?"

"How long have you been in Zhonghai? The only person I've heard you mention is that kid who is making a photolithography machine. What happened? Did he go to operate on Old Yang?"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

Although it was just a difference in punctuation, the meaning expressed was vastly different.

"Say that again. Who operated on Old Yang?"

"It was my friend who is building the photolithography machine. He operated on Old Yang."

"What nonsense are you spouting? A photolithography machine developer was the chief surgeon for Old Yang?"

"It's true. At that time, the doctors in Huashan Hospital were helpless. Then, he tried his best and succeeded."

Over the next twenty minutes, Liang Ruoxu recounted the entire incident to her grandfather.

Liang Ruoxu's grandfather was stunned when he heard it. It was like a fantasy story.

"I know you can't accept this. In truth, I haven't accepted it myself yet either."

"Who is this kid? Where was he raised?"

"Maybe he's a so-called genius," Liang Ruoxu said.

"Is this kid good-looking?"

"He's pretty good-looking."

"Aiyo, he must be handsome if he can get my precious granddaughter to say these simple words," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said excitedly.

"He is also proficient in medical skills and microchips. Your grandmother likes such smart and good-looking men."

"I have already told you many times that I have no plans to get married for the time being. If you continue to talk about this matter, I will hang up."

"You little girl, you are already so old. Why don't you consider such serious matters at all? Is work so important to you? Believe it or not, I will transfer you back!" Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to become a full-time official in your entire life."

"Then you're wrong. Even if you don't interfere, I'm confident that I will become a full-time official within two years."

"Two years?" Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said, "What, did you find a good opportunity to build your reputation?"

"He added my name to the photolithography project," Liang Ruoxu said.

"As long as we make some achievements, it's only natural that I get promoted."

Liang Ruoxu wanted to show off, but there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Grandpa, say something."

"You little girl," Liang Ruoxu's grandpa said.

"Zhonghai is a place with many people and deep waters. I should have sent you to the northwest to train. It's only been a short while, and you've already been set up."

"Huh? Set up what?" 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"A trap that binds you together."

"I know that. We are in a mutually beneficial relationship."

"But you have to remember that you are not alone, you still have the entire Liang family behind you," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said:

"He is someone who dares to use a photolithography machine. He doesn't care about your little identity at all. The one he wants to bind is not you, but the Liang family behind you."

"This…"

Liang Ruoxu was silent. "But I didn't reveal our family background."

"Is there a need to reveal this? Under such a system, you being able to work in a city like Zhonghai is already enough to show everything," Liang Ruoxu's grandfather said.

"This person's insight is extraordinary, and he is also very crafty. If he made the wrong gamble, he wouldn't lose at all. However, if it was the right gamble, then think about how convenient things would be for him. Without a doubt, he made the right gamble."

"But I don't think there's anything to worry about," Liang Ruoxu said.

"If he really creates the photolithography machine, the Liang family would also benefit from it. Even if we fail to develop it, we won't lose it. Why all the worry?"

"Little girl, you are too naive."

"What did I do wrong?" Liang Ruoxu said unwillingly.

"If things develop as you say, this is indeed a win-win situation. But think about it, in all of Huaxia, how many people can successfully build a business empire? Who doesn't have dirt on their names? Even so, why is it always peaceful? Isn't it because there are people protecting them?

"If one day he is targetted, because of your actions today, even if the Liang family tries to hide ourselves, we will be implicated, understand?"

Liang Ruoxu was in the wrong. "This guy is indeed a bit of a thief."

"Isn't that good?" Liang Ruoxu's grandfather smiled and said, "He has great wisdom, much better than that kid Zhao Mo"

"Don't talk about him," Liang Ruoxu said. "I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you for now."

Liang Ruoxu hung up in a hurry, feeling a deep sense of defeat.

Why didn't she think of this?

This guy really knew how to trick people.

Liang Ruoxu let out a breath, calmed herself down, and drove away.

Lin Yi eventually got up, changed his clothes, and drove home.

There was no need for him to stay in the hospital with a boss like Li Chuhan looking after him.

There was no need for him to stay at the hospital with his clinical skills.

He walked to the car and found that the vehicles with military license plates had already left.

Only the red-labeled Civic Type-R was left parked there quietly.

Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, he was surprised to see Li Chuhan walking toward him.

She had taken off her white coat. Li Chuhan's outfit had a gentle touch to it.

The light yellow silk tulle crop top, paired with the light gray wide-legged pants, gave her the demeanor of a working woman.

What happened next surprised Lin Yi.

He saw Li Chuhan take out her car keys from her bag and start the Civic Type-R beside him!

"Is this car yours?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yeah," Li Chuhan said with a smile. "I don't have many hobbies, so I race a few laps every now and then."

Lin Yi's mouth twitched. As expected, a maverick like Li Chuhan liked different things from others.

"Are you going home? Are you leaving the patient alone?" Lin Yi asked.

"Director Miao saw that I was too tired, so he told me to go back and rest. He'll be taking watch tonight."

Lin Yi smiled, he thought to himself, 'This old guy is quite sneaky. For a patient, other than the surgery itself, the most important period is the first day of the surgery. If he sends Li Chuhan away, he'll be able to take some credit.'

However, a person like Li Chuhan, who was indifferent, wouldn't care about these things.

"Have you eaten dinner tonight? Do you want to come along? I'll treat you." Li Chuhan asked.

"Sure. I didn't manage to fill myself just now."

"Let's have dinner together then."

"Director Li!"

After dinner, just as the two of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard someone talking and realized that it was Duan Peng who ran over.

Beside him was another male colleague. Judging from his attire, he should be from a decent family.

The man's name was Sun Tianheng. He was the son of the hospital secretary.

"I finally caught up with you," Duan Peng said breathlessly as he trotted over.

"Director Duan, is there something you need from me?"

"I recently joined a supercar club and there is an event tonight. It just so happens that you're interested in such things too, so I thought I'd invite you out."

Chapter 395

"I'm really sorry, but I have an appointment with Dr. Lin."

Duan Peng glanced at Lin Yi with a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he still spoke politely to Li Chuhan.

"Food can be eaten at any time, but if you miss the club's competition, who knows when you'll be able to see it again."

"But I've made an appointment with Dr. Lin beforehand, so I am not be able to go."

"Director Li, let me tell you something. Today's competition is between the four young masters of Zhonghai. You'll only have one chance to watch this, so you have to consider it carefully."

"Four young masters of Zhonghai?" Lin Yi muttered. He had only heard of the four young masters of Jing City before, but this was the first time he had heard of the four young masters of Zhonghai.

"Haha, a person like you who owns a Shari probably doesn't know who the four masters of Zhonghai are," Duan Peng said coldly.

"Let me educate you. Among the four young masters of Zhonghai, the first one is the emperor of Zhonghai, Qin Han, followed by Zhao Zhengyang, whose wealth is no inferior to his. The remaining two are Fan Qinan and Wu Qingyu. These four are all the second-generation rich kids of Zhonghai."

"I see," Lin Yi said with a smile. "I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me." 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Humph, you're just a small doctor, so what would you know?"

Duan Peng already learned about the surgery.

However, he still didn't think think too much of Li Yi.

It was just a surgery. It could help him gain some fame, but it wasn't a big deal.

Holding physical money in one's hands was the most important thing.

"Director Li, tonight's event is between Qin Han's SR Club and Zhao Zhengyang's FB club. It'll definitely be a peak match, and it'll be a pity if we miss it," Sun Tianheng said.

Li Chuhan wasn't interested in the people competing. She was only interested in racing cars, but she still said.

"I still can't. I've already made an appointment with Dr. Lin."

"Director Li, if you're interested, you can go and have a look. We can eat together whenever you want." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Right, right, right. Look at what Dr. Lin said. Let's go together. I bought a new car recently. It's the one you've always liked, the Mercedes-Benz AMG. It's a 639-horsepower GT. I'll take you for a ride." Duan Peng said.

Li Chuhan didn't say anything. She looked at Lin Yi and asked in a low voice.

"Are you going?"

"Me?"

"If you want to go, Let's go together. Otherwise, we can have dinner together."

"Uh, let's go together then. I've got nothing to do anyway."

Lin Yi wouldn't normally be in the mood to watch a normal race, but he did need to watch the final showdown between Qin Han and that Idiot Zhao Zhengyang.

"You're going too?" Duan Peng's expression was unfriendly. "You drive a Shari, do you even know what a race is?"

"I really don't. In that case, I'll go have dinner with Director Li."

"Alright, I'll follow your preference." Li Chuhan said.

"No, Director Li, didn't you promise me you'd go?"

Duan Peng was conflicted. He wanted to ask Li Chuhan to go with him, but he didn't want to bring Lin Yi.

"But I made an appointment with Doctor Lin first. I'll go wherever he goes."

"Old Duan, don't worry about it. Let's just go together. He doesn't know anything anyway. Just treat him like an invisible person," Sun Tianheng said.

Duan Peng looked at Lin Yi with disdain. "Then let's go together."

"Director Duan doesn't seem to want me to go, so I won't go," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I'm not going either," Li Chuhan said.

"No, no, no," Duan Peng said. "I want you to go. Let's go together."

"Since Dean Duan invited us so warmly, let's go together."

"Do you want to take my car?" Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"Sure, I'll have to trouble you to treat me as a package to be delivered."

"No problem."

Duan Peng narrowed his eyes when he saw that the two of them were going to take the same car, but he had to force a smile in order to get Li Chuhan to agree.

"Director Li, go to the Zhonghai International Racetrack. Wait for me at the entrance, I'll bring you in."

Li Chuhan nodded and got into the car with Lin Yi.

Li Chuhan's driving skills were top-notch, just like her professional skills.

The way she held the steering wheel with one hand was something few women could compare to.

The Civic Type-R was already eye-catching, but from the sound of the exhaust, it sounded like it had been modified. It was really wild.

"Duan Peng seems to be interested in you," Lin Yi said, bored.

"Maybe," Li Chuhan said. "But I don't plan on getting married or having kids. It'd be a waste to entertain him."

"Are you planning on staying single forever?"

Li Chuhan nodded. "I think that's a good idea. Getting married is too troublesome. I only know how to take care of others, and a lot of people can't stand my personality, so I might as well stay single and be alone."

"Don't you feel lonely when you're bored and there's no one to talk to?" Lin Yi asked.

"It'll be much better if I just adopt a dog if that happens.

"Go to the ICU when you have time. You'll understand that a person's life is too short."

"That's a place that makes people feel hopeless."

"When I first came to Huashan Hospital, I was most afraid of taking shifts in the ICU, but now that I've seen a lot of dead people, I'm used to it." Li Chuhan said.

Lin Yi didn't say anything. It might have something to do with the job, too.

Lin Yi considered Li Chuhan's driving skills to be pretty good amongst amateurs.

Ten minutes later, Duan Peng and Sun Tianheng couldn't see her taillights anymore.

Lin Yi noticed that all the lights were on when he arrived at the track.

There were over a hundred cars parked in the parking lot outside, and they were all modified.

Lin Yi only liked cars, but he wasn't interested in modified cars or racing cars. He couldn't understand the fanaticism of these people.

"What's going on? How dare a person drive a civic in here?"

A red-haired woman said as they got out of the car.

A Blue Ford Mustang was parked next to her. The stickers of the car were gaudy and ostentatious.

"F*ck, you don't need to run your mouth, you know? No one will treat you as a mute!" The car owner cursed.

"That's a f*cking Civic Type-R. Don't you know your cars? Don't you recognize the 23,000 yuan AMG calipers? Don't embarrass yourself. Hurry up and leave."

The red-haired woman was dumbfounded.

One caliper was 23,000 yuan. Four would cost 92,000!

"Sorry about that. I'm really sorry for disturbing you."

After apologizing, the two of them left dejectedly.

In front of Li Chuhan's civic Type-R, their Mustang was indeed nothing.

"Let's wait here for a while. In a few more minutes, they will arrive." It was obvious that what had just happened did not affect Li Chuhan's mood.

However, it was indeed a bit awesome for a woman to say this.

"You don't seem to like them, so don't wait for them. I'll bring you in."

Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi. "Can you?"

"Just come with me."

The security guard saw Lin Yi coming, but no one stopped him. The two of them went all the way into the racetrack.

Although the stands weren't full, there were at least a few hundred people.

The cheers and engine sounds mixed together stimulated the adrenaline of every modification enthusiast.

However, Lin Yi didn't see Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang. They were probably not there yet.

Li Chuhan looked around and pointed to a corner in the distance. "There are more empty seats there. Let's go sit there."

"It's a bit far. Will you be able to see clearly?" Lin Yi pulled Li Chuhan's hand. "Let's go to the repair area off the field. It'll be more interesting to see it up close."

Li Chuhan's heart started beating violently the moment Lin Yi pulled on her hand.

It was only for a moment, but the lingering feeling seemed to have become eternal.

Chapter 396

In regular competitions, there would be a maintenance area next to the track.

However, it naturally wasn't necessary for a private competition like this.

Even so, the people who could stand here and watch the competition definitely had a certain level of status.

Without a certain status, they wouldn't be qualified to attend this event.

Lin Yi and Li Chuhan's appearance attracted a lot of suspicious gazes.

Everyone was trying to guess who these two people were.

The competition was about to start, and there were less than ten people amongst them who were qualified to stand below and watch the competition.

These two people must have extraordinary statuses.

"Are you sure it's okay to watch the competition here?"

Li Chuhan asked as she felt the gazes around them.

"I've already brought you down. Do you think there's still a problem?"

"Hah." There was a trace of excitement on Li Chuhan's face that was difficult to hide.

She would usually come to watch similar competitions, but she always sat in a corner or an inconspicuous area.

This was the first time she was so near to the track.

Ring, ring, ring…

At this moment, Li Chuhan's phone rang. It was a call from Duan Peng.

"Director Li, where are you? I saw your car outside, but I didn't see you guys."

"Dr. Lin and I have already come in. We're at the maintenance area in Area A."

"Ah? Why are you down there?" Duan Peng was shocked.

"Only those who received the invitation from the four young masters of Zhonghai have the right to watch from below. The rest of you have to go to the stands. Hurry up, or you'll be kicked out."

"But Doctor Lin said that we can watch from here."

"I'm impressed. He drives a broken Shari. Why do you believe his words?!" Duan Peng said excitedly.

"Wait for me here. Old Sun and I will go over now!"

Li Chuhan hung up the phone expressionlessly.

"What did he say?" Lin Yi asked.

"He said that we can't watch from here. He wants us to go back to the stands."

"Do you trust him or me?"

"I trust you."

"That's right." The two sat down in their chairs, waiting for the race to start.

A few minutes later, Duan Peng and Sun Tianheng rushed in from the outside, locking onto Lin Yi and Li Chuhan.

"Director Li, Let's go up. This isn't a place for us to hang around," Duan Peng said nervously.

Although he had made a lot of money through his work, he was nothing compared to the people sitting below.

He couldn't even compare to many of the people in the stands.

Even so, they were still sitting in the stands. What right did he have to sit below?

"Director Lin said it's fine. I also want to watch from here," Li Chuhan said.

"Why are you listening to him?!" Duan Peng said.

"He's just an amateur, he doesn't know the rules here at all. When the four young masters of Zhonghai comes, he'll definitely send someone to clear the place out. It'll be so awkward when that happens."

"I believe him."

Duan Peng held his forehead, speechless.

"Doctor Lin, can you stop lying to people? Who do you think you are? If you don't know, don't just blindly order people around. Do you want to see Director Li get embarrassed?"

"I'm just here to watch a competition. I don't think this is worth getting embarrassed over," Lin Yi said with a smile. "And I can see it everything clearly from here. It doesn't make sense to watch the race from above."

"Then open your eyes wide and take a good look!" Duan Peng pointed at the people below the stands.

"Anyone who can stand below the stands is worth more than a billion. Your lousy Shari isn't even worth as much as one of their tire's. What right do you have to stand next to them? You're ignorant, but can you not bring Director Li down with you?"

"This matter is between us. You don't have to worry about it," Lin Yi said. "If you're afraid of losing face, go to the stands. Don't worry about us."

Duan Peng and Sun Tianheng looked at each other. They had no choice at that moment.

Duan Peng didn't want to part from Li Chuhan, but if he stayed here, he would definitely be chased away.

Besides, he had a lot of friends here. If they saw him here, where would he hide his face?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, a roar was heart.

Lin Yi and the others looked up and saw more than a dozen sports cars cruising over.

At the front was an Aston Martin One-77, followed by a Lamborghini Veneno and Aston Martin Lagonda. The rest were Ferraris and Acuras.

When they saw these cars enter, the stadium was filled with endless cheers.

"That Aston Martin One-77 is Zhao Zhengyang's car!"

"It's too cool. It's said that this car costs more than 40 million yuan. There are only two of them in China. One of them is in Yanjing, and the other one is in Zhao Zhengyang's hands."

"I've heard of Young Master Zhao's name before. I can finally see him in person today."

The sight of more than a dozen supercars driving into the arena would've been unimaginable if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Lin Yi had a smile on his face. That Idiot Zhao Zhengyang was really something when it came to acting cool.

The car that was about to enter the arena stopped in front of Lin Yi.

Duan Peng and Sun Tianheng's hearts were beating wildly.

"What's going on? Why's young master Zhao's car stopping in front of us?"

"He's not chasing us away, is he?" Sun Tianheng said.

"That… that might be the case…"

After the car stopped, the doors of the supercar opened one after another. Zhao Zhengyang was dressed in casual clothes, and his hair was slicked back. He walked in front of Lin Yi.

"It's not just Zhao Zhengyang. The other two of the four young masters of Zhong Hai are here too." 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Lin Yi could guess that the two people standing behind Zhao Zhengyang were Fan Qinan and Wu Qingyu, but he couldn't tell who was who.

They were both equally ugly.

"Yo, isn't this Lin? He brought a new girl to watch the race?"

The way he addressed Lin Yi confused everyone.

Even the indifferent Li Chuhan was surprised.

Why did Zhao Zhengyang Call Lin Yi Lin?

Something wasn't right.

"I was bored, so I came to see you get beat up," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Zhao Bro, is this the Lin Yi you were talking about?" The short and fat Fan Qinan asked.

"That's right, this is him." Zhao Zhengyang looked at Li Chuhan, "Beauty, you have to be careful. The man beside you is a real scumbag. He has a lot of women around him. Don't be fooled by him."

Lin Yi hugged Li Chuhan and said with a smile,

"Do you know the best thing about being handsome?"

"What is it?"

"They are willing to follow me even though they know I'm a scumbag." Lin Yi looked at Li Chuhan. "Don't you think so?"

Li Chuhan looked nervous. She had never thought that she would one day be hugged by a man like this.

Seeing that Li Chuhan didn't say anything and her face was still red, Zhao Zhengyang's expression became a little awkward.

"You think you're so great just because you're good-looking? What's the point of all that?" Fan Qinan scolded.

"Don't you know how amazing being good-looking is?" Lin Yi said.

"Ask Zhao Zhengyang if you don't believe me. All the women he set his eyes on ended up with me."

Chapter 397

"Who's this kid? Who's so good at bragging? Young Master Zhao is rich and handsome. How could the woman he likes fall into someone else's arms?"

"He's obviously bragging. Just wait and see. Young Master Zhao is going to counterattack soon."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Zhengyang.

They were hoping that he would fight back.

Time passed slowly. After ten seconds, everyone was surprised to find that Zhao Zhengyang didn't even say a word.

"No way, Young Master Zhao isn't talking?"

"Could it be that the woman Young Master Zhao set his eyes on really got seduced by that man? How f*cking amazing is this…"

"It's useless for you to f*cking try to compete here," Zhao Zhengyang scolded. "I advise you to pray for yourself. Not only did you beat up Zhang Ao, but you also stole Wang Mazi's territory. You'd better be careful."

Lin Yi shrugged. "You'd better tell him to hurry up, or else I won't be in the mood to play with him any longer."

"Don't worry, the show has just started. Let's play slowly."

Boom boom boom!

The sound of explosions rang out once more, and a dozen supercars drove in from another entrance.

Lin Yi was a little stunned when he saw the Red Lykan at the front. Wasn't that his car?

Lin Yi thought about it for a moment. They had probably taken it on the day Qin Han and the others slept in his house and drove away after they woke up.

"Young Master Qin is here with his SR club."

"That's awesome! It's a Lykan! The Lykan's domestic price is over 60 million, and it cost 20 million more than the One-77. Rich people are really different."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just the price alone is enough for the SR club to gain the upper hand.".

Just like Zhao Zhengyang, Qin Han and the others drove their cars over and stopped in front of him when they saw Lin Yi.

"Old Lin, you're here."

Qin Han laughed when he saw Lin Yi.

"My friend was interested, so I brought her here to have a look."

Qin Han's gaze fell on Li Chuhan. The coldness reminded Qin Han of Liu Yifei.

"Old Lin, you're the best. What kind of woman is this? Even she can't escape your grasp. I'm impressed."

Duan Peng and Sun Tianheng looked at each other when they saw Qin Han and Lin Yi acting so close with each other.

Where did Lin Yi come from? Why did he have such a powerful background?

Did he have the ability to fight with such a person?

"Old Qin, we're here to race today, not reminisce," Zhao Zhengyang said.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's start. Hopefully this helps you remember that you don't have to be pretentious every day."

Zhao Zhengyang shrugged nonchalantly. "Pretentious people are those who lack the ability to back it up. This is just routine for me."

"The women you like have been seduced by Lin Yi one after another. How dare you say that? I'm embarrassed to be called one of the four young masters of Zhonghai alongside you." 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

"What's the point of saying that? You still have to rely on your own strength at the end of the day. Women are just accessories. I don't care about this."

"Rely on your own strength? With Old Lin's ability, if he races, you won't even be able to see his taillights."

"Him?" Zhao Zhengyang's lips curled into a smile. "Since you guys are on the same team, why don't you come and race a few laps? The rules will be the same as we discussed before. Whoever loses will be kicked out of the four young masters of Zhonghai. Are you man enough?"

"Is that all that is up for grabs? Why don't you guys bet on a house?" Lin Yi said.

"What kind of gamble do you want to make? I, Zhao Zhengyang, will play to the very end."

"I know the rules here. We should be having a relay. In that case, let's do something interesting." Lin Yi said.

"For every second you are slower, you will have to burn a car. Or are you too chicken?"

Hiss…

Hearing this, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air!

No one expected Lin Yi to be so ruthless.

Even Zhao Zhengyang, Fan Qinan, and Wu Qingyu were shocked.

The cheapest cars they drove were all at least five million yuan. Although they would definitely win, the stakes were a little too high.

At this time, Fan Qinan came over and whispered in Zhao Zhengyang's ear, a sinister smile on his face.

"Lin Yi, this bet of yours is quite interesting, but I love cars, especially your Lykan. You can't even buy it on the market anymore. If you burn it, my heart will really ache a little. If you lose, just pay with the car. For every second slower you are, you will have to pay with a car."

"Sure, whatever you want."

Zhao Zhengyang looked at Qin Han. "Let's stick to the old rules, four people on each side."

"We've already chosen myself, Old Lin, Old Liang, and old Gao," Qin Han said. "On your side, apart from the three of you, who else is there?"

Zhao Zhengyang wagged his finger arrogantly. "I'm the only participant from our side. The two of them aren't joining in. Instead, someone else will fill their place."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhengyang said to the few sports cars behind him,

"Brothers, the competition is about to start. Come out."

Zhao Zhengyang's words attracted the attention of the people present.

Everyone's gaze fell on the few supercars behind them. They saw three men in their thirties get out of the cars.

"Why do these three people look a little familiar?"

"I know who they are!" Someone exclaimed.

"The one with long hair is the runner-up of the WRC World Rally Championship, Ge Li. The one with short hair is the fourth runner-up, Wang Xiaojun. The remaining one is the champion of the WTCC Championship, Huang Wanqi! These people are all experts!"

After learning the identities of the three men, gasps in the arena were heard one after another.

"These people participated in international competitions back then, and they even got very good rankings. In the whole country, they are all top-notch racers. Them coming to participate in amateur competitions is no different from famous university students coming to do math problems in kindergarten!"

Although Qin Han was not a professional in the car modding community, as a fan, he had briefly heard of these people before.

There was no doubt that they were all professionals, and their skills weren't bad either.

Compared to them, his side was far inferior.

Only Lin Yi would be able to barely show off his skills, while the others were as good as dead.

"Where did all these people come from? Look at the way they walk, they're all so pretentious."

"They're all top-notch racers in the circle, especially Ge Li and Huang Wanqi. They should be the top figures in the country, and they're really strong," Li Chuhan said.

Lin Yi was surprised. "You know them?"

"I usually watch these kinds of races, so I remember their names," Li Chuhan said.

"If you want to win, you have to make use of their lack of familiarity with the track and the car. This is the only thing you can exploit."

Qin Han looked at Zhao Zhengyang with an ugly expression.

"You're so f*cking despicable. You know you can't beat us, so you're playing this game!"

"Qin Han, I don't want to hear you say that. The three of them just retired, and I've recruited them into the club. They're now officially members of our club. Why can't I bring them here to compete? Are you scared?" Zhao Zhengyang had a victorious expression on his face.

"If you're scared, just say it. It'll save us a lot of time. Just give us the car."

"Scared my *ss. I've never been scared of anyone in my life."

"Since you're not scared of death, let's start the race." Zhao Zhengyang looked at Lin Yi and said,

"But there's something I have to tell you. The venue you're in is the FB club's viewing area. If your woman wants to watch the race, please send her to the other side. We don't welcome her here."

"Idiot, this entire racetrack is mine. Are you out of your mind? How dare you discuss an issue regarding territory with me?"

Chapter 398

"What did you say? This racetrack is yours?" Zhao Zhengyang asked in surprise.

"What else? Should I call Zhou Haitao over here to confirm it?" Lin Yi asked.

"F*ck!"

Zhao Zhengyang clenched his fists. There was no need for Lin Yi to lie under these circumstances.

In other words, the Zhonghai International Racetrack was indeed his.

At the thought of this, Zhao Zhengyang felt like he was about to go crazy.

Why was it that every time he saw this guy, he was the one who ended up suffering?

Damn it!

Duan Peng and Sun Tianheng were dumbfounded.

They almost wet their pants in fear. Who was Doctor Lin?!

He actually owned a racetrack?!

"Zhao Zhengyang, listen to us. Don't act tough in front of Brother Lin in the future. You're really no match for him." Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"So what? The end is already decided. You guys can just prepare to pass the car over to us."

"Alright, let's ignore him and study our tactics first."

Qin Han took him to the side and looked at Lin Yi.

"Old Lin, you are the best among us. Give us your ideas." 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan.

"Which one of you is better?"

"Old Gao is better than me," Liang Jinming said.

"Old Liang, please excuse me. Let my friend go up and race instead."

"No problem, Brother Lin's words are law."

Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi in surprise. "You… you want me to go up and race?"

"Isn't this your hobby? You're already here, so naturally you have to join in and run a few laps."

"That's too much responsibility, I can't compare to their level."

"Your Civic Type-R's performance isn't any worse than these sports cars. Be confident, you'll be fine."

"You… do you really believe me?" Li Chuhan asked.

"I do." Lin Yi looked into Li Chuhan's eyes. "I believe you."

"Alright, Alright. Stop flirting with each other," Qin Han said.

"I'll get a hotel for you guys to chat after the competition. We need to discuss our plan now. Losing the car is fine, but I can't afford to lose face."

"There's nothing to discuss. The first racer on their side will definitely be Zhao Zhengyang, so on our side, Old Qin will be the first racer, Old Gao will be the second racer, and Director Li will be the third racer. Don't be nervous, just do your best. Leave the last stretch to me, I'll definitely help you guys catch up."

"Old Lin, are you sure?"

Lin Yi looked at Zhao Zhengyang with a smile on his face. "I'm very sure."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Get ready, we'll start soon."

After the discussion, Li Chuhan walked out of the racetrack and drove his Civic onto the racetrack.

The crowd gasped again when they saw the fiery red civic Type-R. They were all gaping at Li Chuhan.

More than ten minutes later, the participating cars were in position.

Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang, who were doing the first sprint, drove the cars onto the track. The two of them looked at each other with serious expressions. Neither of them was scared of the other.

At the same time, the long-haired beauty in a bikini walked to the middle of the two cars and waved the command flag in her hand.

"Three, two, one, start!"

At the command, Qin Han's McLaren P1 and Zhao Zhengyang's One-77 started at the same time!

Although the P1 was a little cheaper, it was better in terms of modification, and its performance was not inferior to the One-77!

After three laps, Qin Han's side gained an advantage of three seconds, which could be considered a good start.

The second round began. Zhao Zhengyang sent out the fourth runner-up from WRC, Wang Xiaojun!

Although Qin Han gained an advantage of three seconds in the first round, there was an absolute technical gap between Gao Zongyuan and Wang Xiaojun, and their strengths were vastly different. They were not on the same level at all.

By the time the two cars reached the third lap, Li Chuhan and Huang Wanqi, who were taking part in the third sprint, drove the cars to the waiting area.

"Beauty, judging from the sound of your car, it must have been modified. Do you want to add me on WeChat? I'll teach you how to drive in the future."

Li Chuhan fasten

her seatbelt and said nothing. She looked straight ahead, appearing as serious as when she was doing surgery.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity. Such a beautiful Type-R will belong to us in a while," Huang Wanqi said.

"But if you're willing to come with me tonight, I can plead with Zhao Zhengyang and return this car to you."

"I'm the chief surgeon of Huashan Hospital. I can cut you up a hundred times while making it look like you only received a light injury. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Instantly, Huang Wanqi felt a gust of chilly wind blow past him, and he subconsciously tightened his legs.

Very quickly, the second leg ended.

After running three laps, Gao Zongyuan had allowed the other party to gain a lead over him by five seconds.

The gap between them was huge.

It was also at this moment that Li Chuhan and Huang Wanqi's cars started one after another. The sound waves that stimulated adrenaline caused everyone present to become excited!

"What the f*ck, that Type-R is so nice. It's actually keeping pace with Huang Wanqi. It doesn't seem to have been left behind!"

"That female driver is so awesome. She is actually able to keep up with Huang Wanqi!"

"Is she really a woman? Isn't her driving too fierce? I'm a man, but I've never driven such a fierce car before."

"Exciting!"

Seeing Li Chuhan's wonderful performance, Qin Han was excited.

"Old Lin, your new girl is pretty good. This car is much better than Old Gao's. You've taught her a lot, haven't you?"

"What's the point of teaching her? She's just talented."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. You should get ready too. We're already at the second lap, so you're about to head in."

"Don't rush us, there's still time."

Off the stage, Zhao Zhengyang said, "Lin Yi, the woman you brought is pretty good. Her skills aren't bad, but I think it's because Huang Wanqi isn't using his full strength. If he was serious, he'd be at least ten seconds ahead of you guys by the end of the three laps."

"Ten seconds is fine. It doesn't affect me."

Lin Yi had been watching them closely from the start of the race until now.

Huang Wanqi and the others were indeed strong, but just as Li Chuhan said, they had a natural disadvantage in this race.

They weren't familiar with the track and cars. After all, they used to racing in rally cars, so they definitely weren't used to driving such sports cars.

That was why Li Chuhan could take advantage of them.

"Oh right, you guys brought a total of eleven cars, right?" Lin Yi asked.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Didn't you say that the loser will pay one car per second? So I had to calculate the time."

Zhao Zhengyang was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud.

"Stop fooling around. The last driver is Ge Li. Do you think you're his opponent? The final result will be at least twenty seconds apart, yet you want to beat us by eleven seconds? Stop dreaming, wake up."

"These rich kids nowadays really don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth." Ge Li said disdainfully.

"Haven't you heard the saying, don't use your hobby to challenge someone else's career?"

"I've heard that before, but I don't want to challenge your career." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I want to destroy it."

Chapter 399

"Destroy my career?" Ge Li sneered. "Such a person hasn't appeared yet."

"Don't worry, he'll appear soon."

"Ge Li, don't talk nonsense with him. We have to win this match by at least 20 seconds to feel a sense of achievement. Don't give him any chances."

"I know what to do. The Aston Martin I drove here was modified very well, and I've already completely adapted to it. Let's not talk about beating them by 20 seconds, even 30 seconds is possible."

"That's exactly what I want. We can't give them any chance."

"You want to beat us by 30 fucking seconds? I think you're dreaming."

"Old Qin, what's the use of saying harsh words now? I advise you to quickly prepare the procedures and hand us the car later."

"Don't be so pretentious. We'll talk about it after we finish the race."

At this moment, gasps of surprise rang out again at the racetrack.

"Look, that beautiful racer has been following Huang Wanqi closely all this while. They've already entered the third lap. I feel that the final gap should be less than 10 seconds."

"I think so too. This woman is too fierce. This is also a Type-R. Other cars wouldn't be able to withstand such aggressive driving at all."

"Go, beautiful!"

"You must keep it to within 10 seconds!"

"From now on, you're my idol!"

About a minute later, the third lap ended, and the result shocked everyone!

The difference was eight seconds!

In other words, after three laps, Li Chuhan, as an amateur, was only three seconds behind a professional racer. This was a terrifying result!

Just as everyone was gasping in shock, the fourth relay began!

"Actually, I feel that there is no need to run the fourth race. Other than Young Master Qin who was three seconds ahead, the rest of the people are all behind. There is no way they can win."

"In truth, losing is only natural. After all, they are professional racers, not amateurs. At this point, we just need to see how much they lose by in the end."

"Young Master Qin is known as the Emperor of Zhonghai. If he loses this race, he will lose all his prestige."

"He has no choice. He was tricked by Zhao Zhengyang. He can only admit defeat."

At the same time, Huang Wanqi walked back. "Zhengyang, I'm really sorry. I'm only three seconds ahead. I have to say, that woman is quite something."

"It's okay. They drove twelve cars today. With Geri's strength, it won't be a problem for him to finish four seconds ahead."

"Haha, I think so too."

"Damn, what's going on? The Lykan's max speed should be 200! He's catching up to Ge Li's Aston Martin!"

"This is just the beginning. He should be able to reduce the gap by at least one second!"

"It's not scary to reach 200 in a straight line, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of slowing down. It seems like he's going into the corner at this speed!"

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"

"He's really going into the corner at this speed!"

Those who saw this scene were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.

They had only seen such a scene in F1 competitions. They had never seen anyone drive a sports car in an F1 race.

"Look, Ge Li has slowed down and entered the corner. The difference has probably been reduced by at least three seconds!"

Li Chuhan's beautiful eyes widened. She didn't think that cars could be driven like this.

How could he be so powerful?

Li Chuhan had never admired anyone before, but Lin Yi was a first.

Lin Yi's speed was growing, and the gap between him and Ge Li was getting smaller and smaller!

At this time, everyone had the same thought. They predicted that Lin Yi would be able to catch up with them after the first lap.

From there, they just had to see how far ahead he would finish.

"Brother Lin is too awesome, isn't he? Ge Li is a professional, how did he close a gap of eight seconds in just one lap?"

Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan had never seen Lin Yi race before, so they were completely stunned this time.

"I told you that Old Lin was awesome, but you guys didn't believe me. He's a f*cking experienced driver, the god of roller coasters."

Some people were happy, some were sad, and Zhao Zhengyang and the others were devastated.

He thought that he would win this race with three professional racers, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to have such superb driving skills!

"Nine seconds!"

"This speed is inhuman! He's nine seconds ahead after the second lap!" 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Zhao Zhengyang's heart sank when he saw such a result.

Lin Yi had just finished two laps, and even after starting with an eight second deficit, he was now 17 seconds ahead. By the time he finished the third lap, Ge Li couldn't even see his taillights anymore.

Just as everyone was sighing at Lin Yi's incredible driving skills…

They were shocked to find that Lin Yi had stopped at the finish line of the third lap.

This confusing move stunned everyone, and Qin Han slapped his thigh anxiously.

"What the hell is Old Lin doing? Hurry up and get over the line! We'll win if you cross it!"

"Haha…" Zhao Zhengyang laughed. "Don't even dream about it, Qin Han. I think his car has broken down. It's impossible for him to cross the finish line."

"Are you kidding me? That's a Lykan. How can it break down just like that?"

"What kind of car can withstand that kind of driving? It's definitely going to explode." Zhao Zhengyang laughed fearlessly. "The heavens have opened their eyes. Just wait and see."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But at that moment, the roar came again.

Zhao Zhengyang saw Lin Yi's Lykan rush across the finish line!

"What… what's going on? Is the car not broken?"

Qin Han was puzzled as well. If the car wasn't broken, why did he have to stop at the finish line for a while?

"F*ck, I know what Young Master Lin is trying to do. He's counting the time. He only wants to lead by 11 seconds because FB club just happened to drive 11 cars here!"

"Come on, that's a slap in the face!"

"Master Lin is awesome, this kind of mockery is really unprecedented and dominating!"

"11 seconds on the dot. That's fucking exciting!"

The race was over soon, and Lin Yi and Ge Li drove up to Zhao, the former with a smile on his faces.

"I was just 11 seconds ahead of you and won all your cars, which is making me a little embarrassed."

"Send the cars!"

"Send the cars!"

"Send the cars!"

The onlookers shouted in unison. Zhao Zhengyang clenched his fists tightly and was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Zhao, are you okay?" Fan Qinan and Wu Qingyu rushed over and helped Zhao Zhengyang up.

"I'm fine. I won't die yet."

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Hand over the car keys!"

The people from the FB club were all embarrassed and reluctantly handed over their car keys.

They didn't care about the money, but this was too embarrassing.

Lin Yi weighed Zhao Zhengyang's One-77 car keys in his hand. "From now on, the title of the four young masters of zhonghai will have nothing to do with you guys."

"Hmph, do you think we care?"

Zhao Zhengyang snorted. "Let's go!"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave." Lin Yi said from behind.

"The road ahead is a little dark. It won't be convenient for you to walk around."

Zhao Zhengyang turned back to look at Lin Yi. "What do you mean?"

"It's so lively tonight. It wouldn't be fun if we didn't light a bonfire. Go light up this One-77 and send Young Master Zhao off!"

Chapter 400

"F*ck!"

"I can't believe he wants to burn that $40 million One-77!"

The gang was surprised, much less the crowd.

Qin Han, Liang Jinming, and Gao Zongyuan were all exclaiming Lin Yi's awesomeness.

Duan Peng and Sun Hengtian, who were standing not too far away, felt their heads spinning.

Who was Lin Yi?

Why was he still a doctor at the hospital when he was already so awesome?

Was he trying to woo Li Chuhan?

"Come, come, let's make a bonfire." Liang Jinming laughed out loud as he lit up Zhao Zhengyang's new One-77 with his Zippo lighter.

"Hey, hey, hey, car park attendant, blast some loud music, haha…" Gao Zongyuan said loudly.

Soon, the One-77 which cost more than 40 million was set ablaze. The people on duty at the car park received Gao Zongyuan's order and broadcasted a nightclub's tracklist on the radio. Accompanied by the sky-high fire, the entire venue was literally set ablaze!

"F*ck, Young Master Lin is awesome!"

"A car worth more than 40 million was set ablaze just like that. He is number one person in Zhonghai!"

"Master Lin, I love you. I want to make babies with you!"

Pfft!

Zhao Zhengyang wanted to say something to restore his dignity, but he couldn't. He spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted!

"Your boss can't even compete. Our boss just burned a car, and he actually vomited blood. Man, you guys are a little weak!"

"F*ck, we'll see what happens in the future!"

Fan Qinan cursed as he left with Wu Tianyu and Zhao Zhengyang.

"Old Lin, I know I'm repeating myself, but you're still the best. Haha, that was exciting." Qin Han laughed.

"I think that idiot Zhao Zhengyang will be honest with himself from now on," Liang Jinming said.

"You said he was stupid, so it'd be weird if he becomes honest with himself." Lin Yi smiled. "Who knows what he'll do in the future."

"Lin Bro, you're not wrong when you say that." 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"Alright, you three stay here and play. I'm going back to sleep."

Qin Han chuckled. "How can you sleep at night with such a pretty girl with you? We're all on the same side, so don't pretend to be innocent."

"F*ck."

Lin Yi said goodbye and left along with Li Chuhan.

Duan Peng and Sun Hengtian followed from behind. The latter asked, "Old Duan, what do we do now? It's a bit unrealistic for you to still pursue Director Li."

"What's the point of pursuing her? F*ck, let's go drink!"

Lin Yi didn't get in the Lykan and simply left it to Qin Han. Instead, he left in Li Chuhan's Type-R.

"Send me home. I won't go to the hospital," Lin Yi said.

"Okay."

Li Chuhan sent him home according to Lin Yi's instructions.

Li Chuhan was surprised for a while when he saw the magnificent Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Lin Yi's family background was better than she had imagined.

"Do you like being a doctor?" Li Chuhan asked when he saw Lin Yi's home.

In Li Chuhan's eyes, Lin Yi had such a good family background. If he didn't love this career very much, he wouldn't have gone down this path.

Lin Yi hesitated for a few seconds. "I don't like it. I do it more out of respect for life."

In Lin Yi's eyes, the profession of doctor was special. However, this did not mean he necessarily liked doing it.

In terms of enjoyment, it was no different from driving, teaching, and running errands.

Even so, life was always supreme, so he had to give it his all every time.

"Do you want to come in?" Lin Yi said. "All nine villas are mine. If you don't want to leave, just pick one to stya in."

"I still want to go for a drive, so I won't be coming in. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"You really want to come pick me up?"

"Of course."

"There's no need to pick me up. I still have a car at home, so I won't trouble you."

"Okay, I'll leave first then."

Lin Yi nodded as he got out of the car and watched Li Chuhan leave. The streets were deserted, and her Civic Type-R seemed particularly lonely.

Lin Yi walked back slowly, feeling that Li Chuhan was different from the rest.

However, on closer inspection, every woman he'd met since he'd gotten the system seemed to be unique. Their styles were completely different.

He'd met the sweet and proud Ji Qingyan when he was running Didi.

He'd met the internet addict Sugar when he was a teacher.

He'd met the intellectual and elegant Guo Rui when he was running errands.

When he was a doctor, he met the cold and lonely Li Chuhan.

It was enough to form a picture of societal beauties.

When he got home, it was already 12 o'clock at night. After washing up, he was ready to go to bed.

Ring, ring, ring…

Lin Yi's phone rang at this time. It was Liang Ruoxu calling.

"Are you calling me in the middle of the night to go to the club?"

"Do you think I'm qualified to do that with my status?" Liang Ruoxu asked.

"Then why are you looking for me?" Lin Yi asked. "Are you going through your sad boi hours since it is past midnight? Is this really worth it?"

"Do you think I'm a young girl?" Liang Ruoxu asked.

"In my eyes, you'll always be young. You'll always be eighteen."

A sudden wave of lust almost reached Liang Ruoxu's waist.

Liang Ruoxu's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"That's true. You're the first person in so many years to flirt with me like that. With my identity, isn't this exciting?"

"It's so exciting."Lin Yi said. "If there comes a day when I get close to you, I'll really need to keep some heart-saving pills on me."

"Heart-saving pills won't do. You'll need a bulletproof vest." Liang Ruoxu said.

"Bulletproof vest? Do you mean?" Lin Yi said. "That works. It can block 200 million bullets at a time."

"You're a real piece of sh*t." Liang Ruoxu said. "Don't go to work tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 10:00 in the morning and take you out with me."

"What for?"

"There's a batch of imported medicine ready to enter Zhonghai. I've applied directly for it with the higher-ups. We won't be going through a bidding process. We'll be doing a face-to-face interview," Liang Ruoxu said.

"This matter is very important. I won't feel at ease without a sensible person by my side."

"Do you need to personally handle this kind of thing? It's a waste of your talent."

"This is a commonly prescribed medicine. The aging population of Zhonghai accounts for 38% of the total population, and among this demographic, 27% of them need to take this medicine all year round."

"Apart from that, this medicine also has a very big market with the younger generation." Liang Ruoxu paused and said.

"Zhonghai is just testing it out. If this operation succeeds, they'll introduce it to other provinces and cities. With such a large order, even a cent of difference in price will result in a huge change. The burden on the people will be heavier."

"I understand."

Lin Yi had already realized the importance of this matter when Liang Ruoxu said the words 'commonly prescribed medicine'.

It was just like how patients with high blood pressure couldn't get away from blood pressure medicine all year round. What Liang Ruoxu said wasn't an exaggeration.

The more expensive the medicine, the heavier the burden on the patient.

"Are you sure you want to give me such an important task? I only completely a surgery. I'm not as awesome as you think."

"But you're the only one I can trust."

"Why? Is it because of love?"
