âGot it. Iâll definitely come to your place for dinner when I donât have anything to eat.â Lin Yi said with a smile. âItâs been a long time since Iâve tasted your cooking.â
Wang Ying would occasionally bring Lin Yi lunch when she was at work, and her cooking was pretty good.
âAlright then. Come over if you want to eat.â
âOkay.â
They chatted for a while before Lin Yi went to bed and soon fell asleep.
...
Victorious Return Villa Building A.
In Zhong Hai, the most luxurious villa was none other than Jiuzhou Pavilion.
However, many people knew that Jiuzhou Pavilion was famous for its luxury, but it did not have a good price-performance ratio, so it was not the first choice for the rich.
The difference was that before Jiuzhou Pavilion appeared, Victorious Return Villa was the number one estate in Zhong Hai.
It was the first choice for many wealthy people looking to buy property.
Qin Hanâs home was also here.
The villa was brightly lit. A middle-aged man sat on the sofa, holding a financial daily newspaper in his hand. Beside him was a cup of ginseng tea while he wore a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. Although he did not say a word, his aura was very strong.
This person was Qin Hanâs father, Qin Zhengqing.
At this moment, the sound of brakes was heard from outside the door. A McLaren P1 stopped at the door before Qin Han got out of the car.
âDad, why did you ask me to come back? Whatâs the matter?â
Seeing that his son had returned, Qin Zhengqing put down the newspaper in his hand and said,
âI heard that you fired Cui Binlong and broke both of his hands.â
âYou know about what happened at the company? Then I wonât say anything else.â Qin Han smiled and leaned against the sofa. He chuckled and said,
âHe offended my friend. I taught him a lesson which I hope he learned well.â
âDonât you know that Cui Binlong is related to us? His mother called me today.â Qin Zhengqing said in a low voice.
âDad, you should be satisfied.â Qin Han said. âIf it wasnât for his family, I would have beaten him to death today.â
Qin Zhengqing straightened his expression and said in a low voice, âIn Zhong Hai, who is worthy of such good treatment from you?â
âYou mean Lin Yi? Heâs my good friend.â
âIs he from the Lin family of Bona Group? He isnât Old Linâs son right?â Qin Zhengqing said.
âBona Group isnât bad, but itâs still a bit lacking,â Qin Han said.
âActually, I donât know what his family is like, but to them, our status is absolutely average,â Qin Han said. âI canât compare to them.â
âYou canât even compare with them?âQin Zhengqing was interested. âWho are they? Why are they so powerful?â
âI already said I donât know, but they are definitely a big family. Thereâs no doubt about that.â
âHow can you tell?â
âHe went to a car exhibition and bought 150 million cars. Can you believe that?â
âMoreover, the Zhonghai International Race Track is also owned by them, and they bought it all without any third-party investment. Can you believe that?â
âHe lives in Jiuzhou Pavilion and even bought all nine villas. Can you believe that? A normal person wouldnât do such a thing.â
Qin Zhengqingâs expression became serious. âAre you serious? Forget about sports cars. The last two industries together are worth at least ten billion.â
âThatâs right. Moreover, heâs a second-generation rich man. Thatâs whatâs so terrifying.â Qin Han said, âWhen were you going to give me ten billion cash to spend?â
Qin Zhengqing turned serious as well. Spending 10 billion in cash was not something an ordinary family could afford to do.
At the very least, he did not have the ability to do this.
However, who was this Lin Yi?
Could he be from the Lin family of Yanjing?
That was not possible.
âAlright, letâs not talk about Cui Binlong.â Qin Zhengqing took a sip of tea. âYouâre not young anymore. Donât play outside every day. Do something important.â
âWhy do you say Iâm not doing anything serious? Youâve seen the results of Sino-Han capital. The market cap is about to exceed ten billion.â
âThatâs not what Iâm talking about,â Qin Zhengqing said. âIâm talking about your partner.â
âIâm anxious too. I havenât met anyone suitable yet,â Qin Han said with a smile.
âI knew you would say that. Iâve found someone for you. Sheâs very good in all aspects.â
Qin Han got up from the sofa in a panic. âWhat does she look like? Donât get me involved in some family marriage. I have no interest in such things.â
âItâs not a marriage.â
Qin Zhengqing said with a smile. Then, he handed the phone to Qin Han. There was a photo of a woman on it.
âThis is her photo. Take a look.â
âWhere did you find this woman? Sheâs too beautiful.â
âLooks like you agree.â
âWait, donât worry.â
Qin Han mumbled as he looked at the photo on his phone. âSheâs pretty, but why does this photo look so familiar?â
âHer name is Ji Qingyan. Sheâs the CEO of Chaoyang Group. Sheâs been on the financial news before. You probably saw her there.â
âNo, no, no, itâs not the financial news.â
Qin Han thought for a moment before taking out his phone. He dug out his WeChat chat history with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had sent him a photo with a woman before. It seemed to be this same woman.
âDad, do you think this is the same woman?â
âI think so.â
âThen itâs over. The man behind her is Lin Yi, my good friend.â
âWhat the hell is this?â Qin Zhengqing said disinterestedly. âSomeone beat me to it. Some friend he is.â
âDad, itâs not good to gossip behind othersâ backs.â
âStop bullshitting me. You only know how to visit nightclubs every day. Look at her,â Qin Zhengqing scolded. âIf you can find me a daughter-in-law like her, Iâll give you 10 billion as well.â
âNo way. Sheâs just a woman. Do you have to be so serious?â Qin Han curled his lips and said, âChina has a population of 1.4 billion. I donât believe that I canât find someone prettier than her.â
âThere may be someone prettier than her, but that person definitely wonât be as smart as her.â
âThen Iâll find someone smarter than her!â
âThere may be someone smarter than her, but that person definitely wonât be as pretty as her.â
Qin Han was struck speechless.
âAlright, take your time with your tea. I still have something to do. Bye-bye.â Qin Han said
...
Lin Yi stretched lazily at around eight the next morning before getting up from bed.
He did not go to university because he was planning to register his company that day.
After washing up, he took the documents he had earlier prepared and drove to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.
There were a lot of people in the Bureau of Industry and commerce. When he got the receipt, he found that there were more than 100 people in front of him.
Luckily, there were more than ten windows open at the same time. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand the queue.
âLook, thereâs a little handsome guy over there. Heâs so handsome.â
A few female staff members whispered.
âHeâs indeed quite handsome. Look at his legs. Theyâre so long. Heâs like the long-legged oppa in the TV series.â
âItâs been a long time since Iâve seen such a handsome little brother doing business. Xin Xin, do you want to chat him up or ask him for his WeChat or something?â
âI donât think so. There are so many people here. Iâm so sorry.â
The girl called Xin Xin was called Feng Xin. She had a well-proportioned figure and delicate facial features. Coupled with her good-looking oval face, she stood out like a crane among chickens in the department hall.
âWhat are you afraid of? Happiness is earned through hard work. Youâre already 28 years old. You canât delay any longer.â
âThatâs right, thatâs right. When I was dating my husband, I was the one who chased after him. He was still the schoolâs top student back then, but wasnât he eventually taken down through persuasion and hard work?â
âBut Iâm still a little embarrassed.â Feng Xin said with a red face. Even so, it was clear that she was interested in the idea.
It was just that she was too easily embarrassed.
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? If you take the initiative, there might be a story between the two of you.â
âReally?â
âOf course itâs true.â
âThen Iâll go and try.â Feng Xin made up her mind.
âDonât hesitate. Donât you see that many women are staring at him? If you go a little later, he might end up being taken by another woman.â
âHey, hey, hey, what are you guys talking about? Can you teach Xin good things?â
The person who spoke was a young man in his thirties. He was holding a teacup in his hand and had just returned from getting water.
The manâs name was Ma Yi. He was a clerk in the Bureau of Industry and Commerce and was Feng Xinâs admirer.
âWeâre looking for a suitable partner for Xin. We just found a suitable candidate.â
Ma Yi followed their gazes and frowned when he saw Lin Yi sitting on the bench. He felt threatened.
He was actually so handsome.
âYou guys are too shallow. Whatâs the use of being handsome? Look at his age, heâs obviously a part-time worker. With the housing prices in Zhong Hai, he might not be able to afford a house even if he worked hard his whole life. Wouldnât it be harmful if you asked Xin to get involved with him?â
Feng Xinâs two colleagues stopped talking. Ma Yiâs words did make sense.
âIâm telling you, if you want to find a boyfriend, you have to find a Zhong Hai local. At the very least, he needs to have a house and a car, which can guarantee the most basic living conditions. What else can you get apart from suffering when you engage with a gigolo like that?â
âWho says you have to suffer? What if heâs starting a business?â Feng Xin said.
She might not actually end up talking to Lin Yi, but she did not like the way Ma Yi looked down on outsiders.
It was as if he was superior simply because he was a Zhong Hai local.
It was so pompous.
âLittle Xin, do you think itâs that easy to start a business? There are at least 800 people who come here every day to file for bankruptcy. Young people these days are so impetuous. They want to start a business when they have some money, but they all go bankrupt in a few months,â Ma Yi said.
âJust last week, I met one. When he was getting his business license, I was the one who went through the formalities with him. Guess what? In less than a week, he went bankrupt.â
âTch, how do you know that he will definitely go bankrupt?â Feng Xin said.
âSigh, listen to my advice. 99% of young people like them who start a business will die without achieving success. Therefore, itâs better to have power over their fate. When it comes to us, just one sentence can decide the life and death of those rich people.â
âIf everyone has the same idea as you, the country will be finished.â
Feng Xin and the other two female colleagues turned their heads away after retorting. They did not want to continue chatting with Ma Yi.
Ma Yi was also busy with work, so he went to work with his cup in hand.
At the same time, Lin Yi sat on the bench and checked his documents again. He was relieved when he found that everything was complete.
âHello, young man.â
Lin Yi raised his head when he heard someone talking. He was shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in her forties. The foundation on her face was like a layer of white flour. It was scary to look at.
âYou... Why are you looking for me?â
âYoung man, Iâm a straightforward person. I wonât beat around the bush with you.â The middle-aged woman said.
âCan I be friends with you? Iâm worth over a hundred million.â
âYoung Lady, do I look like an undertaker? Do you know Lin Zhengying?â
The middle-aged womanâs expression changed. âWhat do you mean? Do you think Iâm ugly?â
âYes.â
The middle-aged woman, â...â
âDonât be unappreciative. With my wealth, I can find any kind of man. Iâm giving you a chance, so donât waste it.â
âGo on, then. This is the world for the living, not a place where you should hang around.â
Lin Yi had goosebumps all over his body when he saw the middle-aged woman in front of him.
If he got into bed with her, it would be what the older generation called a ghost pressing down on the bed.
âYou!â The middle-aged woman shouted.
âStop it, stop it. This is a public place.â
Feng Xin ran over and stopped the middle-aged woman just as she was about to speak.
The middle-aged woman calmed herself down when she saw the staff arrive. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.
âLuckily you came in time, or I would have been scared to death by her.â
Feng Xin was amused by Lin Yi.
âSir, youâre so funny.â
âHuh?â Lin Yi paused.
Was this considered funny?
Lin Yi still did not understand women well enough. As long as you were handsome and had some money, even a fart would be funny.
âOf course,â Feng Xin said with a smile, but she quickly returned to normal due to her position.
âSir, are you here to do business?â
Lin Yi nodded. âI want to register a company.â
Feng Xin was secretly happy. It was just as she had imagined, this young man was an entrepreneur.
âIf you want to register a company, you need to fill in the form in advance.â
Feng Xin took two forms and handed them to Lin Yi. âPlease fill in these two forms first. Itâll save you a lot of time when you get to the counter.â
âThank you very much.â
âYou go ahead. If thereâs anything you donât understand, you can look for me at the front desk.â Feng Xin said, a little embarrassed.
âIf you find it troublesome, you can add me on WeChat too. Itâll be easier to discuss any problems this way.â
Lin Yi smiled. This was a new way of hitting on someone.
âI wonât add you on WeChat for now. Iâll just look for you if thereâs anything I donât understand.â
âOkay.â Feng Xin said in disappointment.
Ma Yi narrowed his eyes as he saw the two whispering to each other. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Lin Yi started filling in the form after Feng Xin left. The information required was simple, except for the name of the company. Lin Yi hesitated for a while before finally writing down the words âLingyun Groupâ in a serious manner.
Looking around, the sky was vast. A leaf could freely dance in the wind, openly displaying its ambition.
To achieve the ambition of Lingyun.
Lin Yiâs number appeared on the screen about half an hour after he filled up the form.
Lin Yi handed in the completed form and prepared to go through the necessary procedures.
âHello, I want to register a company.â
Ma Yi Glanced at Lin Yiâs form and threw it back. He said rudely,
âThe form isnât right. Take it back and fill it up again. Next number.â
