“He only ever wants to see me for a drink. 1 won’t bother.”

“Don’t. The chief told me to keep you. If you leave, I’m finished.”

“Fine, fine, I’ll wait here.” Lin Yi smiled.

“After all, I haven’t seen him in a long time.”

“Isn’t that so?” Gao Chong chuckled and said.

“And I heard that you passed the test of the Central Guards Brigade in first place. When the time comes, you can give me guidance. I want to try getting in too.”

“It’s a little too much to say that. I was just lucky,” Lin Yi said politely.

“Don’t be modest.” Gao Chong put his arm around Lin Yi’s shoulder. “Let’s go up and wait for him. The chief is almost done.”

“Let’s go.”

After a simple chat, the two of them went upstairs to meet Yang Guangxia.

Yang Guangxia’s check-up was on the sixth floor, and it was in a different venue from the ordinary patients.

There were very few people here. The people who could come here were all high-ranking officials in the garrison area. Ordinary folk could not come here.

“Let’s wait here.” Gao Chong pointed to the door beside him. “He’ll be out soon.”

“Alright, there’s no hurry.”

Not long after the two of them sat down, the door beside them was pushed open. Lin Yi and Gao Chong subconsciously stood up.

He hadn’t come out yet, but they could hear the voices inside.

Lin Yi looked inside. Other than Yang Guangxia and Mo Hongshan, there were a few doctors and nurses.

The treatment could be said to be top-notch.

“Chief, you’re recovering really well.”

The person who spoke was called Lu Ming. He was wearing a white coat and glasses. He gave off a refined feeling.

“The surgery back then was too successful. Otherwise, it would have taken at least half a year for you to recover to this point.”

Gao Chong glanced at Lin Yi and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

“I told you, it’s fine. There’s no need for a check-up,” Lin Yi smiled.

Lu Ming raised his head and looked at Lin Yi outside the door.

“What nonsense are you saying? Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t understand.”

“I don’t understand?”

Lin Yi smiled. “No one knows his health better than me. Don’t doubt me.”

Lu Ming and the doctors and nurses around him scoffed.

Director Lu was an expert transferred from the Yanjing headquarters. This guy was just a guard. What right did he have to point fingers here?

Did he really think that he had the right to say that he understood just because he was by the chief’s side every day?

These were two completely different things.

“You’re just a bodyguard, and I’m the department’s chief of cardiovascular surgery. Do you think you know more about the chief’s condition than I do?”

Lin Yi pointed at Yang Guangxia. “I’m the one who performed his surgery. Do you think I don’t understand?”

“Huh?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Lu Ming and the others froze in an instant.

They felt that they were hearing things.

“Chief, he, he said…”

Yang Guangxia nodded earnestly. “He used to be the director of the cardiology department at Huashan Hospital. He was the one who performed my surgery. You just transferred over from Yanjing, so you might not know about him.”

“He, he’s Director Lin?!” Lu Ming said in surprise.

“You know him?”

“My God, I’ve heard of his name in Yanjing, but I’ve never seen him in person. I didn’t expect to see him today.”

Lu Ming walked over politely and extended his hand.

“Hello, Director Lin. It’s our first time meeting and 1 didn’t recognize you. I’m really sorry.”

“It’s a small matter.”

Lin Yi wasn’t a petty person, so he didn’t take it to hard.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the four of them left one after another and returned to the car.

“Kid, do you have something to ask of me? You actually came to deliver fruits to me,” Yang Guangxia said with a smile in the car.

“Wow, you’re the classic example of someone who judges a gentleman’s heart through your own narrow-minded views.”

Mo Hongshan and Gao Chong in the front row looked at each other.

In the entire Huaxia, no one dared to say this to Old Yang. Lin Yi was the only one.

“Oh, then have I misunderstood you?”

“Haven’t you been to my farm before? The fruits in the greenhouse were ripe, so 1 brought them over to you.”

Yang Guangxia’s gaze landed on Lin Yi’s pocket.

“I thought you bought it outside, but you planted it yourself.”

“It’s so insincere to buy fruits outside, and it’s not as delicious as what I planted.”

“You’re very considerate.”

“This is nothing. I’m about to kill the pig I raised. After I’m done, I’ll send you a few pig trotters.”

“Then it’s settled. I won’t forget this.” Yang Guangxia laughed heartily.

“By the way, I heard that you passed the test of the Central Guards Brigade in first place. Moreover, you participated in a mission a few days ago. How do you feel? Are you used to it yet?”

“It’s alright. They’re not as strong as I thought, but when we get to Tilia Island, the situation will probably be different.”

“That’s for sure. The missions you’re carrying out now are all peripheral missions. In the early stages, you’ll probably be running around the world. As for when you’ll be sent over to the island, we ll have to wait for you newcomers to grow up before that can happen.”

Lin Yi nodded.

“Indeed, even if we send them over now, they’ll just be cannon fodder. It’s better to practice with these sorts of missions first.”

Yang Guangxia patted Lin Yi’s shoulder earnestly.

“I heard from Little Mi that the business in your hands is quite profitable. You’re considered a famous tycoon in Huaxia, but I have to tell you that it’s hard to say how many generations this money can last.”

“What do you mean? You want me to develop in another direction?”

Yang Guangxia nodded. “The Central Guards Brigade is a very good place. It will be very beneficial to your future promotion. Moreover, this kind of promotion has no ceiling. As long as you work hard and have a little luck, you can even reach my level. You should understand what I mean, right?”

Yang Guangxia’s words surprised Lin Yi.

In the realm of power, if you’re just an ordinary person who becomes a civil servant and enters this circle, although it seems great and everyone envies it, the moment you enter the job, you can already see the limits of your career.

On the other hand, if your family had powerful connections, no one could tell how far you would go in the future.

Having said that, even in these situations, there would still be an invisible ceiling pressing down on your heads. This was already set by the state, but many people still could not see it.

Yang Guangxia’s words were filled with deep meaning.

He indicated that Lin Yi’s road had no end. As he’d said, with enough effort and a little luck, it was possible for Lin Yi to climb to the pinnacle of power, just as he had.

“Thank you, Old Yang. I’ll remember this.”

“Just note it down.” Yang Guangxia said with a smile.

“The current you can only be considered a rich person at most. To put it bluntly, you’re nothing in my eyes. However, if you walk on another path, you and your family can be forever referred to as the Lin family..”
