I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3898: Chapter 3886: The Scent of Flirtation

"Even though you act like a bit of a dog, I’ve treated you pretty well, you know? The salary I give isn’t low. Why are you so fond of the three-dollar-per-pack instant noodles?"

"This is called reminiscing about past hardships to appreciate sweetness, get it? My situation is different from my senior sister. Her family had money from a young age; ours was dirt poor. When I didn’t get a scholarship during college, having a meal of instant noodles was considered lucky," He Yuanyuan said.

"Don’t laugh at me. In college, I was lucky to have my senior sister around and got to eat some nice food thanks to her. That could be considered satisfying my cravings."

"So you picked up the habit then?"

"Pretty much. I started boarding at school from middle school and have been eating that brand of instant noodles ever since. It’s never changed. See how loyal I am?"

"Yes, yes, our President He is the most loyal."

"Damn, what do you mean? When it comes out of your mouth, it’s definitely not a good thing."

"Why do you say that?"

"You can’t expect ivory from a dog’s mouth; every time you call me President He, it’s never for a good reason."

"How can you say it’s not for a good reason? I just want to show you a video."

"Hmm? What video?"

"Hold on."

After speaking, Lin Yi found the video secretly filmed at the Pickles Factory and handed it to He Yuanyuan.

"Take a look."

"So mysterious, what are you showing me?"

He Yuanyuan grumbled, took Lin Yi’s phone.

When she saw the content inside, her face turned green.

"What the hell!"

Realizing the setting wasn’t right, He Yuanyuan quickly covered her mouth.

"The hell, is this how the pickles in the instant noodles are made?"

"What did you expect? I risked my life to film this, only showing it to you."

"You b*tch, you did it on purpose."

He Yuanyuan kicked Lin Yi, thinking about the past, savoring pickles with great taste, almost gagged, stood up, and ran towards the bathroom.

Lin Yi watched He Yuanyuan leave gleefully, feeling very satisfied, while also recording a video and sending it to Ji Qingyan.

Which elicited a sympathetic response from Ji Qingyan.

"Director Lin?"

While the two were chatting, a woman in a red dress stood in front of them.

Lin Yi looked up, the woman’s outfit resembling a qipao-style, embracing her voluptuous figure, holding a glass of red wine, she appeared graceful.

But Lin Yi’s eyes showed caution.

In this setting, even the official leaders knowing his identity were few; how did this woman know?

Could it be that she has a significant status?

Or He Yuanyuan or Tian Yan disclosed his identity to her?

"Who are you?"

"Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Xu Xiaoqi, the General Manager of Beitong Automobile."

"And then? How do you know who I am?"

"Recently, I’ve been interacting with President Tian a lot, with intentions to collaborate in the new energy vehicle field. Just now, seeing her speak to you politely, combined with some rumors about you, I guessed your identity," Xu Xiaoqi said, smiling.

"Moreover, earlier, our chairman also treated you with courtesy, which further confirmed your identity to some degree."

"You’re quite smart, but I currently have other work, regarding collaboration, you can just talk to Tian Yan; she can fully represent me."

"Director Lin, don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean anything else. Since I’ve come to Zhong Hai, I just wanted to meet you, not discuss work in such a setting."

After speaking, Xu Xiaoqi lightly gestured with the wine glass, upon seeing this, Lin Yi didn’t want to refuse her goodwill either, poured a glass of wine, motioned to her from a distance, and then took a sip.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for the courtesy. If I contact you through other channels another day, I hope Director Lin gives me another chance."

"Let’s see how it goes, after all, I’m not in charge of the group matters, talking to me is pointless."

"It’s not necessarily about work; chatting about other things is okay too. Director Lin, you’re so young yet have achieved this position, there are many aspects I wish to learn from you."

Lin Yi smiled.

The flirty aura is coming out.

"Wait for an opportunity."

"Okay, then I won’t interrupt Director Lin anymore."

Xu Xiaoqi politely left without pestering Lin Yi further.

This left Lin Yi with a generally positive impression of her.

He glanced around the people nearby and realized a few seemed to be looking his way; they likely knew his identity through other sources.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Yi used the excuse of a bathroom run to leave the venue, playing on his phone in the hotel lobby, waiting for the interview to end.

Out of boredom, Lin Yi opened his Douyin account.

He noticed Zhao Yuhuan had already synchronized today’s content onto the account.

"The likes have exceeded three thousand, and there are over 800 comments; this traffic and attention are pretty good."

Holding the phone, Lin Yi checked the content inside, noticing it was made into three parts.

Only the first part had aired so far, but the editing was excellent.

While reporting on the incident, it left a hook, without revealing the test results.

This way, it built anticipation among viewers; unless something unexpected happened, the viewership ratings should be decent.

Holding the phone, he thought for a few seconds.

Initially, Lin Yi considered buying some Dou+ promotion, but on second thought, deemed it unnecessary; it might even affect the task progress, which wouldn’t be worthwhile.

As for how the ratings would turn out, it would only be apparent tomorrow morning, as long as there’s an increase, it’s good.

About an hour later, Lin Yi received a call from Dong Xiao.

"Where are you? The shoot is over."

"I’m downstairs in the lobby. I’ll come to find you."

"No need, wait for us downstairs; we’ll come down to you."

"Okay."

Shortly after, he saw them coming downstairs with the equipment.

"Everything goes smoothly?"

"More than smoothly, it was simply like having free rein."

"Hmm? What do you mean by free rein?"

"It’s like I could interview whoever I wanted, and they were very cooperative, allowing me to see these entrepreneurs in a way that’s unknown to the public."

"Actually, everyone is just an ordinary person, one nose and two eyes; it’s just that regular folks have mythologized them."

"There’s truth to that. Let’s go, it’s getting late; let’s go have supper," Dong Xiao said.

"Brother Rong just messaged me; he suggested we go out to eat, and the station will reimburse."

"Nobody should hold back."

"Let’s go."

After completing the interview task, the three found a roadside diner.

Lin Yi noticed that Dong Xiao had quite a good drinking capacity; he drank three or four bottles without any issues.

None of them drank excessively; they knew when to stop. After the meal, Lin Yi let the other two take a taxi home while he drove himself.

Otherwise, having drunk, they definitely wouldn’t let him drive.
