âI found a new job recently. Iâm going to Yuhang City to help alleviate poverty. Iâll be leaving soon. I might not have much time to return here, so 1 came here to see you before I leave.â
âYouâre going to Yuhang City to help the poor?â
Li Chuhan muttered, âAre you talking about Dongsan County?â
âYou know that place?â
âBefore you came last year, the hospital organized a medical trip to the countryside and visited several places. I myself didnât go to Dongsan County. However, I heard from my colleagues from other departments that the conditions in Dongsan County are truly poor. The few towns there are similar to Beiqiao Town. You have to be mentally prepared,â Li Chuhan said.
âDonât worry. Iâve already roughly understood the situation and know what itâs like.â
âAre you also investing in road construction this time?â
âItâs not what you think,â Lin Yi said.
âIâm the deputy director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation. This time, I wonât be providing targeted assistance. Iâll be providing a fundamental solution to this problem.â
âOh?â
Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi for a long time with her big, beautiful eyes.
âBut this isnât something you should be doing; itâs not an easy task.â
âI know that, but I just want to take on a challenging task. Simply giving money doesnât solve the fundamental problems.â
âWhat youâre saying makes sense.â Li Chuhan glanced at her watch, âWill you be staying here for lunch?â
âI wonât have lunch here; I have plans to meet someone at noon. You two go ahead and have lunch.â
âHuh? Okay.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen Iâm not busy, can I visit you?â
âWhat are you talking about? Why not?â
Li Chuhan smiled like a swaying lily.
âDidnât you have an appointment at noon? It takes two hours to drive from here to Yuhang City. Go now. Donât dilly-dally any longer.â
Lin Yi nodded and spread his arms. âArenât you going to give me a hug before I leave?â
Li Chuhan was embarrassed. She bit her lip and hugged Lin Yi tightly. Then, she took the initiative to kiss him.
She seemed to lose herself in the moment.
âAlright, alrightâ¦â
Half a minute later, Li Chuhan broke free from Lin Yiâs embrace, her delicate face covered in red clouds.
âThis is a hospital. You canât mess aroundâ¦â
Li Chuhanâs voice was very soft. As he tidied up his underwear, he spoke in a barely audible voice.
Lin Yi chuckled. âThen letâs stop here today.â
âWellâ¦â
Li Chuhan nodded quietly. â1â11 see you off.â
The two of them walked out of the hospital together. Lin Yi got into the car, and Li Chuhan waved at him from under the shade of the tree, reminding Lin Yi to take care of his body.
He looked at the woman in the rearview mirror who refused to leave for a long time.
Lin Yi smiled knowingly, feeling touched.
Ring ring ring!
Not long after he drove out, Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was Sun Jian.
âBoss, when are you arriving? Iâm not in the mood to work anymore.â
âIâm not going to bring you to the hot springs. Why are you so excited?â
âIâve been out and about for so many years. After graduation, we havenât seen each other. Iâve missed you too,â Sun Jian said.
âI remember, two years ago when I went to Yanjing, 1 lost my wallet as soon as I got off the train. You transferred 700 yuan to me, and you never asked for it back. I remember all these things,â he added.
âJust remember it in your heart.â Lin Yi smiled.
âI just left. Iâll be there in about two hours.â
âIâll send you the address of our company. Come over to see me there, and then we can go for some barbecue. The taste of the BBQis amazing.â
âSure.â
âWait for me at the office.â
After hanging up, Lin Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Yuhang City.
Yuhang City Rainforest Technology Co., Ltd.
âOld Sun, I see that youâve been restless all morning. Are you in a bad mood after being dumped? Hahaâ¦â
The person who spoke was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a pair of fashionable black and red AJis. There was also a string of silver accessories around his neck. The overall combination fit him quite well, making up for his lack of looks.
The manâs name was Li Qingyuan. He was a major shareholder of this company and held about 70% of the shares. The remaining three people, including Sun Jian, accounted for the remaining 30%.
Li Qingyuanâs family was quite famous in Yuhang City. In order to start his business, Li Qingyuan borrowed eight million yuan from his family. He was considered to have made a name for himself.
âI donât even have a girlfriend. Why would I fall in love?â
âThen what are you doing here? Have you thought of the operation plan?â
âItâs half done. In any case, thereâs no hurry. Weâll talk about it tomorrow.â
âThis isnât like you. Arenât you always saying that youâre a hardworking person? Why are you being so lazy now?â
The person who spoke was slightly plump. He was about 1.7 meters tall and had a buzz cut. There were also tattoos on his arms.
The manâs name was Liu Guangming, and he was the companyâs technical manager.
âOur dormitory head is visiting today. Itâs been a few years since we last met after graduation. Iâm preparing to go for a meal with him later.â
âDo you have to act like this though? Look at how excited you are. 1 thought you were going to pick up a chick. It turns out that youâre roommates,â Liu Guangming said.
âThatâs right.â Li Qingyuan laughed and said.
âLetâs make it clear first. If a girl was visiting, 1 would have given you three days off. But if itâs just a roommate, you wonât get this treatment. Hahaâ¦â
âStop acting cool. When my boss comes, youâll be scared to death,â Sun Jian said as he lit a cigarette.
âScared to death?â Li Qingyuan said.
âDoes your boss have three heads and six arms? Can he scare us to death?â
âLet me tell you, my boss is very rich. He lives in a villa worth more than a billion yuan and drives Rolls-Royces and supercars. Moreover, he has his own dock. Itâs not something trash like you can compare to.â
When Zhang Song went to Zhonghai, Lin Yiâs Lingyun Group was still under construction, so he didnât know about his company. He only knew that Lin Yi owned a dock.
Lin Yi didnât reveal anything about Lingyun Group back then. They were all classmates, so there was no need to say so much. It would just seem like he was showing off.
âWhat the f*ck? Is this for real? Is he that rich?â
Both of them exclaimed at the same time.
Not to mention how much money he earned in a year, just that house alone could crush their Li family.
âArenât you just bragging?â Liu Guangming said.
âYouâve never told me that before.â
âYou donât have to believe me.â Sun Jian said pretentiously.
âMy other roommate went to Zhonghai before. He saw it with his own eyes. It canât be faked.â
âIf your dorm leader is so awesome, you should go join him. Itâs definitely better than staying here,â Li Qingyuan said.
âWell, thatâs true, but back in school, we had a good relationship. If we start involving money, it might change the dynamics of our friendship.â Sun Jian replied.
âBesides, Iâm doing okay now. I donât have to worry about food or clothes. Thereâs no need for all that.â
âYouâre right.â Li Qingyuanâs eyes darted around as he smelled a business opportunity.
âWhat is your dormitory boss doing in Yuhang City? Is he here to discuss a project?â
