Just as she was feeling pleased with herself, she heard a familiar voice.
Her body trembled as she realized that Lin Yi was behind her, looking at her with a smile.
âYou... arenât you at the Jiuzhou Pavilion?â
âCough cough cough...â
Lin Yi coughed a few times. âLetâs talk about that mango-flavored lipstick.â
It was obvious that Ji Qingyan was still in a daze and did not realize what Lin Yi was talking about.
âYou... youâre too fast.â
âEh... President Ji, donât say that. Itâs bad luck.â
âI know! You were trying to trick me again.â Ji Qingyan said angrily. âYou werenât at home, you were at the hotel the whole time.â
âI was not trying to trick you.â Lin Yi smiled. âYouâre the one who said I was at Jiuzhou Pavilion, not me.â
âHmph, all you know how to do is bully people.â
Lin Yi stopped talking and looked around. âIs there anything I can help you with?â
âNo, I have enough people.â Qingyan said. âYou just need to find a place to sit. After the press conference, thereâll a small-scale industry conference. You might have to wait for me a little longer.â
In Ji Qingyanâs mind, Lin Yi did not need to do anything as long as he was here.
His mere presence was very reassuring.
âAlright then, Iâll find a place to stay. If you need my help, remember to call me.â
âYes, yes.â
âBefore that, shouldnât we settle the lipstick Issue?â
Ji Qingyanâs face turned red, like a ripe peach.
âYouâre going to die. There are so many people here. Letâs talk after the press conference.â
Lin Yi smiled. âSure, I have plenty of time anyway.â
âRascal, you only know how to take advantage of me.â
After this, Lin Yi found a corner and sat down. Many of the female guests in the back row looked at Lin Yi with shining eyes.
âWho is that man? Heâs too handsome.â
âI canât take it anymore, I canât take it anymore.â
âYou just gave birth to your second child and the wound hasnât healed yet. Can you control yourself?â
Lin Yi sat down steadily and ignored public chatter.
Within a few minutes, Wang Ying walked over mysteriously.
âI saw you and President Ji talking and laughing together just now. Thereâs nothing going on between the two of you, right?â
âWhat could possibly be going on between us?â Lin Yi smiled. âYouâre overthinking things.â
âItâs not good if thereâs something going on,â Wang Ying said. âWith Boss Jiâs looks and temperament, youâd be lucky if you could get her.â
âYouâre both women after all. Arenât you jealous, Sister Ying?â
âWeâre not on the same level at all. Whatâs there to be jealous about?â Wang Ying said. âItâs like how you might be jealous of other rich kids being richer than you, but you wouldnât be jealous of Jack Ma being richer than you. Itâs the same principle.â
Lin Yi smiled. That seemed to be the case.
âWhat have you been up to lately? Are you still driving for Didi?â Wang Ying asked casually.
âIâm too tired of driving for Didi. I got a job at school to kill time.â
âNot bad, Yi. Youâre already teaching at a school.â Wang Ying said with a smile.
âLife is all about suffering. Thereâs no point in working all the time.â
âThat makes sense.â Wang Ying looked around and said in a low voice, âBy the way, are you free tomorrow night?â
âYeah, why?â
âI just got my notification letter. My husband is going on a business trip tonight, so Sis will treat you to dinner.â
Lin Yi could not help but laugh. No wonder she had to keep her voice down. If others heard it, it would be too easy for them to misunderstand.
âAlright, give me a call tomorrow.â
âAlright, thatâs settled then.â Wang Ying said. âIâll be going now, I wonât be staying here with you.â
âOkay.â
After Wang Ying left, the women sitting not too far away started discussing in hushed tones.
âNo way, such a handsome man used to drive for Didi?â
âWasnât that in the past? Heâs working at a university now.â
âThatâs not the best either, but come to think of it, I wouldnât mind being a mistress either way.â
The press conference started not long after.
The main focus of the press conference was Chaoyang Groupâs new project.
This was also the usual practice of Chaoyang Group. Every time a new project was launched, they would hold a press conference like this to build momentum for the new project.
Lin Yi was not interested in the contents of the press conference. He took his phone and prepared to play games to kill time.
However, at this time, he heard the system notification sound again in his mind.
[Completed a hidden mission and became the honorary vice-principal of Zhonghai Normal University. Rewarded 200,000 experience points.]
[Professional proficiency: 60%. Reward: Twin Towers!]
Lin Yi thought for a few seconds as he heard the notification sound in his head. He finally understood what was going on.
Even though he had already signed it in the morning.
He still had not gone to the Education Bureau to stamp it, so the documents and certificates were not in effect yet.
Zhao Qi had probably just sent the documents and certificates to the education bureau to be stamped. Therefore, he was now officially the honorary vice-principal of Zhonghai Normal University.
Despite this, Lin Yi quickly skimmed over this detail.
After all, the systemâs reward was the Twin Towers!
Lin Yi could not believe his eyes when he saw such a generous reward.
He had seen some news about the Twin Towers in the news. It was said to be another landmark building in Zhong Hai. It was definitely not an ordinary building.
Lin Yi did not know much else about it.
He opened his phone and searched for information about the Twin Towers on Baidu.
After browsing through it once, he got the feeling that he would not understand it properly until he saw it first-hand.
The Twin Towers were a newly completed development. There was no difference in appearance between the two, so they could be said to be almost identical.
The two towers were 632 meters tall and had 119 floors. The total cost of development was 14.8 billion dollars!
However, with the completion of the Twin Towers, this landmark building had replaced the global financial centre and become the tallest building in Zhong Hai!
Lin Yi was amazed when he saw the information!
He did not expect this newly completed building to become his property!
The system was becoming more and more generous.
Soon, Lin Yi received an unfamiliar call on his phone. If nothing went wrong, it would be a call to request him to claim the Twin Towers.
âHello, is this Mr. Lin Yi?â
âThatâs me.â
âIâm Luo Wan, the vice president of the Far East Group. You just bought the Twin Towers that we had recently developed. When is it convenient for you to come over and handle the formalities?â Luo Wan greeted politely.
âIf you donât have much time on your side, we can send someone over.â
âNo need, Iâll come over tomorrow.â
âAlright then, how about 9 am tomorrow?â
âSure.â
âAlright then, see you at 9 am tomorrow.â
After some simple discussions, Lin Yi hung up the phone. He was already thinking about the use of the Twin Towers.
Lin Yi rested his head on one hand, feeling that the Twin Towers had come at the right time.
He had more and more businesses under his control right now, and he needed to set up a company to consolidate all these businesses and handle them in one location.
Otherwise, it would be meaningless if they all acted independently.
The Twin Towers would be the starting point of his business empire!
After thinking of these things, Lin Yi looked at the system interface again.
It had only been three days, and the completion rate of the class had already reached 60%. It was very likely that the new job class would be made available earlier than he had previously expected.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi rubbed his hands together, curious about what his next class would be.
