The person who spoke was called Yuan Hao. He was more than 1.8 meters tall and had a square face. He was the kind of person who looked good from the back, but his face was extremely ugly.
Yuan Hao did not come from a large courtyard, but his father was once a member of the Central Guards Brigade. His family preferred not to reveal themselves and ran their own business quietly in the background.
Even so, he still had a certain influence in Yanjing.
‘Why are you so angry? Who provoked you?’ Zhang Hui asked.
“Based on yesterday’s and today’s results, I estimate that I am currently ranked 12th and can barely enter the Central Guards Brigade. Now that Lin Yi kid is here, my ranking has increased to 13th. The chances of me getting in are slim.”
Zhang Hui and Guo Qingkun looked at each other and immediately understood why he was angry.
The Central Guards Brigade only recruited twelve people per cohort. Lin Yi’s participation was very likely to squeeze him out of the running.
Moreover, they did not know when the next trial would be held.
If it was held in a few years, they would have grown older and would not meet the recruitment criteria of the Central Guards Brigade.
Therefore, for these people who had trained until they bled, such an opportunity could not be wasted.
“Don’t be so pessimistic. There are still two tests tomorrow. As long as your results in those tests are outstanding, you will still have a chance of qualifying,” Guo Qingkun comforted.
“But the odds are too slim. I don’t want to take that chance.”
Zhang Hui and Guo Qingkun subconsciously looked at Yuan Hao.
“Then what do you think? You’re not thinking of secretly messing with him, are you?’
“I was wondering if I could give him some money to give up on the trial. If so, then my chance of entering would once again return to normal.”
“If that’s what you’re thinking, you might as well ask the others.”
“I know many of the people in front of me. Their families are very famous in Yanjing, and those not from political backgrounds are all quite well-off. Only that Lin Yi guy doesn’t have a clear background, so I want to give it a try. I don’t want to lose this opportunity.”
“You can try that, but I think you’d better ask your family for their opinion and see what they have to say.”
“Alright, I’ll go back and study him properly.” Yuan Hao lit a cigarette and said,
“Damn it, it was a good tryout, but because of him, I don’t even have a chance anymore.”
The three of them chatted for a while more before driving home.
After leaving the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi called Chen Yan and asked her to join him for a session. It was boring to be alone.
“Brother Lin, see you at the usual place.”
After hanging up on Chen Yan’s call, Lin Yi drove to Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
However, when Chen Yan arrived, Lin Yi realized that the person who came with her was not Gu Nanzhi, but Liang Ruoxu. “Um.
Lin Yi was stunned. “Why did you bring her here?’
‘When you called me, the two of us were together. That’s why we came together.”
“Um.
Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu. “Would you believe me if I told you that I invited her here for a meal?”
“Don’t talk nonsense with me,” Liang Ruoxu said. “Let’s go together. I want to experience it too.”
Lin Yi was speechless.
“Are you sure you want to experience it?’
“Of course. Why else would I be here?’
The reason why Liang Ruoxu had such thoughts was that after coming here, she realized that this kind of place was not as bad as she thought.
It was just that the bath and environment were nicer than usual. There didn’t seem to be anything else particularly wrong with it.
Therefore, she was curious to see what exactly Lin Yi loved about the bathhouse.
“With your status, it’s not appropriate for you to come here, right?’
“I’m wearing a mask. No one will know who I am,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Brother Lin, you don’t have to worry about that. With the Liang family’s influence in Huaxia, even if someone took photos of Sister Mi coming to such a place, no one would dare to share it unless they didn’t want to stay in Huaxia anymore.”
“Then what are we waiting for?’
Lin Yi held Liang Ruoxu’s hand and said, ‘Today, I’ll take you to experience a top-notch massage set meal. I’ll show you what true enjoyment is.”
‘You’re so excited at the mention of this.” Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes and said, “I didn’t see you like this even when you were earning tens of billions.”
“Money is a worldly possession. Only a good massage can sublimate your soul. Believe me, today you will understand the true meaning of an otherworldly experience.”
The three of them entered Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
This time, Zhao Hengdong was not around. However, when the lobby manager saw Liang Ruoxu, he immediately went up to her.
When they came the day before yesterday, Zhao Hengdong had already instructed them to receive them according to the highest standards when they returned.
Therefore, the moment he saw Liang Ruoxu, the lobby manager rushed up. Even though she was wearing a mask, it did not affect his perception.
This was because they were wearing the same clothes.
“Hello, Ms. Liang. Do you need us to clear the room?”
Liang Ruoxu pondered for a few seconds. “Yes, clear it for me.”
“I’ll arrange for the place to be cleared now. Please follow me.”
Lin Yi was speechless.
Chen Yan,
The two of them looked at each other and entered the elevator with Liang Ruoxu in confusion.
This wasn’t her first time here?
She could actually enjoy the treatment whereby they would clear the area for her?
After some preparation, the three of them changed their clothes and entered the hot spring.
“Sister, what kind of treatment is this? You just arrived and they prepared to clear the place for you?’ Chen Yan asked.
“Brother Lin is a top member here, yet even he doesn’t receive such treatment. ‘
“Because his rank isn’t high enough.”
“Sigh.
Lin Yi sighed. “1 wanted to bring her here, but I didn’t expect you to be treated so much better than me. It’s a slap to the face.’
“If you want, I can arrange the same treatment for you,” Liang Ruoxu said with a smile, causing ripples to appear in the water.
“Forget it, I’ll just mention your name when I come here in the future. I probably won’t even need a membership card,” Lin Yi said.
“By the way, haven’t you finished dealing with your matters? When are you planning to return to Zhonghai?’
‘When do you plan to go back?” Liang Ruoxu asked.
“It’ll probably take a few more days. Are you coming with me?”
“Can’t I?”
“Of course. Then, I’ll show you my private plane.”
“Enough of that nonsense.”
The three of them chatted for a while more before heading to the private room on the top floor.
After getting a massage for a while, Liang Ruoxu felt quite relaxed.
No wonder Lin Yi often came to such places without a good reason.
After the massage, the three of them ate at a food stall before returning home.
The next morning, Lin Yi woke up at eight.
The reason why he woke up so early was not due to his own preference. It was mainly because it was time for the piglet in the trunk to be fed.
Lin Yi guessed that the frequency of the piglet’s feeding sessions had greatly reduced. It might even be able to eat something else soon.
When he returned, he might be able to wean it.
After sorting everything out, Lin Yi went for breakfast before driving to the base.
The third day of the trial was about to begin!
