“His name is Ding Yiwei. He’s a master’s student instructor in the Orthodox Academy of Zhonghai Normal University.”
“Ding Yiwei?”
Lin Yi muttered. He didn’t remember hearing this name when he was in school. Maybe he only joined after he left.
“Brother Lin, do you know this person?”
“Never heard of him.” Lin Yi shook his head.
“But the two of you can just go without worry. Perhaps he really has something to tell you, but if he tries touching you, kick him in the crotch. If anything happens, I’ll cover for you.”
Hiss…
“Even though I’m a woman, it hurts to hear you say that.”
“Because this is the best move. You can escape in one move.”
“Got it, Brother Lin.”
Du Yao was a little nervous at first, but after hearing Lin Yi’s words, she relaxed a lot.
It felt good to have someone to protect her.
Because there was still some time, the two of them were not in a hurry to leave. They accompanied Lin Yi to sell fruits for a while longer. At around five o’clock, they took a taxi to the agreed-upon restaurant.
Lin Yi didn’t stay here the entire time either.
At around six o’clock, fewer people dropped by, so he went home.
But on the way home, Lin Yi received a call from Yan Ci, asking him where he was going to stay today.
This was because she had been in Happiness Village the entire day and had been busy with setting up the scene.
If Lin Yi returned to Happiness Village, she wouldn’t leave yet.
If Lin Yi didn’t come back, she was prepared to return to Zhonghai.
It was still a challenge for her to live alone in Happiness Village.
As the fruits were not sold out, Lin Yi had no intention of going back. After reminding Yan Ci to be careful, he drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
When he passed by the guard, he even gave the security team a bag of fruits. One for each of them, which only improved their relationship.
By the time Lin Yi returned, Ji Qingyan was already home. She greeted him in her pajamas and slippers.
“There’s so much left today? Is business bad?”
“Business is surprisingly good. It’s just that there are a lot more fruits to sell today. I can’t sell them all in a day.” Lin Yi smiled.
“It’ll probably take another two days to sell them all.”
Lin Yi estimated that if he sold all the goods in the car, he would be able to make about 500,000 yuan. With the current sales rate, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to complete the mission.
“Then I wish Mr. Lin good business.”
“You’re the sweetest. When Big Brother earns money, I’ll buy you a mink coat.”
Ji Qingyan rocked back and forth in laughter. She did not care about her image at all.
“In this winter, a cashmere coat is enough. It’s useless even if you buy me mink.”
“That won’t do. You must have what everyone else has. Even if you don’t wear it, you have to keep it at home.”
“Alright, thank you, Big Brother.”
Ji Qingyan cooperated and handed the basin in her hand to Lin Yi. “Take out some fruits for us to eat tonight.”
“Sure thing.”
After picking the fruits, Lin Yi took off his shoes and entered the house. Ji Qingyan had already prepared dinner, which consisted of two dishes and a soup.
Although it was not sumptuous, it was enough for two people to eat.
“Any new developments at the company?”
During dinner, Ji Qingyan asked. This was what she was most concerned about.
“Everything is going smoothly. The people who secretly reported me should have been dealt with.”
Lin Yi had deduced these things from Wang Mian’s attitude.
If the Wang family hadn’t been substantially affected, he wouldn’t have called him, let alone resigned from his position as the team leader of the Central Guards Brigade.
From this, it could be seen that the Wang family had been greatly affected.
His title of the crown prince of Yanjing would soon also be history.
“Has the higher-ups made a clear statement regarding the Lingyun Group’s monopoly?”
“Not yet. It probably won’t happen yet.” Lin Yi said.
“When the semiconductor industry chain is formed, someone will probably talk to me.”
“Now, there are two paths in front of the group. The first one is to give up some peripheral industries but keep the core business and technology in our hands. This way, the regulatory authorities won’t focus their attention on us,” said Ji Qingyan, poking the bottom of the bowl with her chopsticks, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she thought about the matter seriously.
“The other way is to dilute the shares. That’s the safest approach.”
Lin Yi smiled, because Ji Qingyan’s thoughts coincided with his.
“What’s your idea? Tell me.”
“Actually, I don’t have any ideas. It’s up to you to decide.”
“If you want to be a pure businessman, use the first method. If you want to take the political route, use the second. Each has its own merits, and I can’t decide which is better. But I think that with your personality, you might choose the first.”
“That’s what I used to think. Now, my thoughts are wavering.”
“Oh?”
Ji Qingyan turned around and looked at Lin Yi seriously. “Don’t tell me you are planning of going into politics? I remember that you were very against such things.”
“It’s not what you think. If you’re a pure businessman, you focus on accumulating wealth. At this stage, accumulating anything more is meaningless, so I want to try another path.”
The reason why Lin Yi changed his mind was because he had joined the Central Guards Brigade.
Coupled with what Yang Guangxia had said to him previously, he felt that it made sense.
No matter how rich he was, he was still a businessman.
But if he took another path, he would lay the bedrock for the Lin Family in the future.
Lin Yi was very interested in such a thing.
“I know what you mean. That’s why you want to move towards a bigger goal, right?”
“Yes,” Lin Yi said as he ate.
“Think about it, with my current identity, others may say you are Lin Yi’s wife, but one day, if I achieve some success on the path of power, we will become the Lin family. When you go out, people will respectfully call you Mrs. Lin. Isn’t that quite satisfying?”
“I didn’t think about it before, but now that you mention it, it does seem quite interesting.” Ji Qingyan covered her face with her hands as she spoke in embarrassment. However, that image had already surfaced in her mind.
“That’s why I want to give it a try. It doesn’t cost anything, right?”
“Then I can only support you unconditionally. Mr. Lin is truly great.”
Ring ring ring!
Just as the two of them were flirting, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was Du Yao.
Unexpectedly, the person who spoke was not Du Yao, but Fang Fei.
“Have you eaten? How did the conversation go?”
“Brother Lin, you guessed it right. That person is a hooligan. He has ulterior motives towards Yaoyao.” Fangfei cursed.
“Damn it, I’m so angry. If I had a knife in my hand, I would definitely kill him!”
“Tell me what happened slowly. Don’t be anxious.”
“He took the initiative to accept Yaoyao as a postgraduate student because she was good-looking.. If I hadn’t followed her here, something bad would have happened!”
