Xu Qiang looked up with a teasing smile.
It seemed that this kid did not know nothing. At the very least, he knew who he was.
In that case, things would be easier.
âIâm asking you a question!â Xu Qiang raised his voice. âIs this melon guaranteed to be ripe?â
âOf course.â Lin Yi smiled.
âHow much will 5OOg be?â Xu Qiang asked.
âThree thousand.â
âF*ck, what did you say? 3,000 yuan for 500g?â Xu Qiang said, âIs it made of gold particles?â
âThese are all watermelons grown in my greenhouse. There arenât found in ordinary shops.â
âAlright, let me try one.â
Lin Yi held the watermelon and placed it on the scale. â15 pounds, so thatâll be
45,000 yuan. Scan the QR code.â
âScan the QR code? When have I ever paid for anything in this area?â
âHehâ¦â
Lin Yi smiled. âAre you asking for free food? Donât you have to pay when you buy things?â
âYouâre f*cking bold, arenât you? How dare you talk to my Brother Qiang like that!â
Lin Yi took out his watermelon knife and pointed at the shouting lackey. âIf you cut me off again, Iâll stab you to death. Do you believe me?â
Lin Yiâs fierce aura frightened the dozen people around Xu Qiang. They looked at him cautiously, not daring to do anything.
âYouâre quite bold. How dare you threaten my brother?â
Lin Yi reached out and grabbed Xu Qiangâs head. He slammed him against the car and placed the watermelon knife against his neck.
âYouâre here to cause trouble, right? But you arenât anywhere skilled enough.â
The sharp blade was right in front of Xu Qiangâs, and his face was reflected on it.
Xu Qiang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He wanted to break free from Lin Yiâs grip, but he couldnât move.
âNo, no, no. Letâs talk things out.â
âWhat are you talking about? You came here to cause trouble for me, and you expect me to talk to you properly?â
âNo, I wasnât the one who wanted to come here. Ma Jianfeng asked me to come. Weâre here to help him.â
âMa Jianfeng? Help?â
Lin Yi looked at the van in front of him and vaguely saw a man sitting in the passenger seat.
It seemed to be the man he had met outside Feng Jiajiaâs house just now.
At this moment, Ma Jianfeng also realized that Lin Yi was looking at him.
Her body immediately trembled. He opened the car door and ran as if he was running for his life.
âF*ck, Ma Jianfeng is running away!â Xu Qiangâs lackey shouted.
âF*ck, stop running. Canât you see that Iâm in trouble?!â
Lin Yi wanted to laugh. He felt that these people were a bunch of jokers.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he recalled that he often went out to fight when he was in middle school and high school. He was previously no different from these hooligans.
These guys resembled the old him.
Retracting the fruit knife, Lin Yi pushed Xu Qiang to the side.
âGet lost. Do something professional in the future. Donât fight and kill all day long. In the end, you wonât even know how you died.â
âGot it, got it.â
Xu Qiang bowed. âIâm sorry for what happened today. If you need help in the future, just let me know. Iâll definitely help.â
With that, Lin Yi and Xu Qiang left.
Lin Yi smiled. How am I supposed to get your help if you donât even give me your number?
âLil Yi, did you offend someone? The person even tried to take revenge on you,â Du Dahai said.
âItâs just a group of small fries. Donât take it seriously.â
Seeing how calm Lin Yi was, Du Dahai didnât take it seriously.
Lin Yi was much more capable than him, so there was no need for him to worry.
After Xu Qiang left, Lin Yi made a few more sales. At four in the afternoon, Guo Feiâs car stopped at the entrance of Tangchen First Class.
The three of them got out of the car one after another.
âHowâs my daughter? Did she get in?â Du Dahai asked expectantly.
âI donât think thatâll be a big problem,â Du Yao said with relief.
âThereâs a teacher who thinks highly of me. He said he wants to take me in. It should go well.â
The postgraduate interview was a very subjective segment.
Although most of the time, they would receive a fair and comprehensive score, there were also other situations.
If a teacher felt that a certain studentâs temperament was very suitable, he would voice his approval out loud.
If such a thing could happen, it would be viewed as a blessing for the student in question.
Du Yao had encountered one such scenario.
âThatâs great,â Du Dahai said. âAfter studying for so long, it looks like your efforts were not in vain. Thatâs good.â
Du Yao chuckled. It was a great feeling to start postgraduate studies. Only those who had experienced it personally could understanding the feeling.
âItâs already so late. Letâs go back. Iâll get your mother to make some pork ribs.â
With that, Du Dahai turned to look at Lin Yi. âAre you going back to the village today? Come to my house for dinner.â
âI wonât be going back today. I havenât sold all my fruits yet. Iâll eat with you when I have the chance.â Lin Yi smiled.
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
âThereâs no need to be so polite. Itâs already past four. Go back quickly. Itâll be dark soon.â
âBrother Lin, weâll leave first. Iâm a postgraduate student now. When you have time, Iâll definitely treat you to a good meal.â Du Yao said.
âAlright, prepare more money.â
âHeheâ¦â
Ring, ring, ring!
Du Yaoâs phone rang at this moment. It was an unknown number.
âHello, who is thisâ¦
âHello, Teacher Ding.
âNow?
âYes, yes, yes, I have time.
âAlright, I understand.â
After hanging up, everyone guessed that Du Yao would not be able to leave.
âWhatâs wrong, daughter? Is someone looking for you?â
âDidnât I say that there was a teacher who was willing to accept me? He called me and wanted to have a meal with me. He said that he wanted to talk about the graduate student recruitment program.â
âYes?â
After staying at Zhonghai Normal University for a period of time, Lin Yi still had some understanding of postgraduate work.
Although she had already been accepted, she was not a student of the university before she received an official admission notice. Logically speaking, there shouldnât be any need for this kind of meeting.
Why was this happening as soon as the interview ended?
âWhat time will you be done? Iâll wait for you here.â
âI donât know what time it will end. He said it starts at six in the evening. I guess itâll be pretty late when itâs over. Iâm not going back.â
âHow can you do that? Youâre just a young lady. How can you spend the night outside?â
âItâs fine. Iâll ask Feifei to stay with me. Besides, Brother Linâs family is from Zhonghai. I can ask him for help if I need anything. Donât worry about it.â
With Lin Yi around, Du Dahaiâs mood improved a lot, and he wasnât that worried anymore.
âLil Yi, help me take care of him.â
âLetâs go, you procrastinate too much.â Lin Yi laughed. âYouâre already an adult, so you wonât lose your way while driving, right?â
âYou little brat.â
Du Dahai scolded with a smile. Then, he gave a few more instructions before driving away.
âGuo Fei, didnât you say you had something to do? You should leave first. Iâll stay here and accompany Yaoyao,â Fang Fei said.
âThen Iâll take my leave first.â
It was just a meal. Guo Fei didnât think too much about it and drove away.
âWhoâs the teacher who asked you out for dinner?â Lin Yi asked..
