Song Jiayuâs words stunned Ji Qingyan.
âWhat did you say? Heâs the one who invested in you?â
âHuh? But Iâm a little curious. Why is President Lin here? Is he here to give us gifts for the new year?â
Song Jiayu was a little excited. âBut then again, Sis, isnât President Lin very handsome? If I hook up with him, our issue might be settled today.â
Ji Qingyanâs face darkened, but she remained silent.
He was prepared to settle scores with Lin Yi later.
Song Jiayu stood up and walked towards Lin Yi, preparing to ask why he was here.
If he was really here to give a gift, it meant that he had some relationship with the Ji family. This way, the two of them would be even closer.
However, at this moment, Huiwen was one step ahead and welcomed Lin Yi into the house.
âYouâre just here for a meal. Why did you buy this? You canât do this again.â
âI didnât buy anything.â Lin Yi smiled.
At the same time, she saw Song Jiayu sitting next to Ji Qingyan and recognized her at first glance.
She was a relative of the Ji family?
Lin Yi subconsciously thought of something.
His mother-in-lawâs surname was Song, and her surname was also Song. She was probably her niece.
This was interesting.
Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Song Jiayu couldnât laugh anymore. Instead, she was a little at a loss.
âAunt, do you know each other?â
âWhat are you talking about? This is your brother-in-law. How could 1 not know him?â
âBrother-in-lawâ¦â
Song Jiayu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The air was filled with awkwardness.
Did she seduce her brother-in-law?
But why was his brother-in-law so handsome and rich?
Song Jiayu turned around mechanically, hoping to find an answer from Ji Qingyan.
But looking at her cold face, she already understood what was going on.
âLin Yi, come with me.â
Ji Qingyan stood up and called Lin Yi out. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Song Jiayu shrunk her neck, feeling that she had made a mistake.
âWhatâs wrong? Why are you wearing a long face during the new year?â
Lin Yi was a little puzzled. The matter wasnât exposed. She was just calling him a moment ago. Why did she have such an expression?
âYou invested 30 million in Jiayu?â Ji Qingyan sized Lin Yi up. âAmong that, you basically forced 10 million into her hands?â
âThatâs right.â
Seeing that it was about the investment, Lin Yiâs confidence resurfaced.
âTo put it bluntly, her fitness project is an offline physical industry. Itâs a money-burning project. The Series A is 30 million yuan. This wonât even last two months. Itâs not much.â
âBut thatâs not what Jiayu said.â Ji Qingyan crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Lin Yi with a displeased expression.
âHuh? What did she say?â
âShe said you had your eye on her thigh, and then you put in 30 million.â
Lin Yi, âF*ck!â
âHer slim legs arenât my cup of tea at all,â Lin Yi said.
âBesides, I simply thought that this project was alright. Thatâs why 1 invested the money. What has it got to do with her legs?â
âHow would I know?â
âHer legs arenât as pretty as He Yuanyuanâs. Sheâs miles away from you. Do 1 have to talk about these useless things?â Lin Yi said.
âDo you think the female employees of the Lingyun Group are just there for decorations?â
Ji Qingyan felt a lot better after hearing Lin Yiâs words.
In reality, she did not really believe the story.
After all, her sisterâs legs were not as good-looking as hers.
âDonât think too much. Sheâs just spouting nonsense.â Lin Yi said.
âIf you donât believe me, letâs go in and confront her. Weâll know whatâs going on.â
âForget about the confrontation. Sheâs my sister after all.â
After talking about the investment, the two of them returned to the house.
The others were fine, but they were busy with the family banquet. Song Jiayu was extremely embarrassed.
She actually went to seduce her brother-in-law and even shamelessly told her cousin about this.
Was this something a normal person would do?
Seeing the two of them return, Song Jiayu laughed awkwardly.
Her toes could dig a canyon into the ground.
âHehe, brother-in-law⦠This is a misunderstanding. I really didnât know that you were my brother-in-law.â
âIf you knew, it probably would have been three hundred million,â Ji Qingyan said.
Lin Yi was helpless. Why did he have to encounter such a thing?
âIâm curious too. We havenât talked much, and you didnât even know 1 was your sister-in-law. So why invest 30 million in me?â Song Jiayu said.
âThis is including the extra 10 million yuan which you forced on me. Are you so optimistic about this project?â
âIâm didnât look at it carefully. I didnât see clearly.â
âIf you canât see clearly, why did you invest so much?â
Ji Qingyan and Song Jiayu looked at Lin Yi at the same time, wanting to find an answer on his face.
âIsnât this the nature of venture capital?â Lin Yi said.
âIf you can truly see the value of a project, then you wonât make much money. Even if you can make money, there will be countless people competing to invest, and I wonât have a chance. In plain terms, venture capital is gambling, itâs all about luck.â
Lin Yiâs explanation gave Song Jiayu a new understanding of venture capital.
âArenât you afraid of losing money?â
âItâs just 30 million. Whatâs there to be afraid of? Itâs not enough for me to buy a car.â Lin Yi said.
âWe invested in more than sixty semiconductor companies before this. Now, a third of them are bankrupt. This money is nothing.â
Hearing this shocking number, Song Jiayu pursed her lips.
Only then did she truly realize the difference between herself and these capitalists.
Different thinking patterns meant different structures.
The difference was not slight.
âBrother-in-law, Iâll toast you later. Tell me more about the capital circle.â
âItâs not as complicated as you think. When you get to this point, youâll understand everything.â
Soon, the family banquet officially began.
The elders sat at a table, while Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan sat at the same table.
As the brother-in-law, Lin Yi was relentlessly plied with alcohol by his younger sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law at the same table, seeking to avenge his overindulgence from last year at this time.
After dinner, Lin Yi brought the young people out again. They played in Metropolis until midnight.
The next day, Ji Qingyan and Ji Qingyan slept until noon before they woke up. In the afternoon, they went out to watch a movie and shop. The New Yearâs Day holiday passed just like that.
The New Year soon ended. According to the date, it would be the Lunar New Year in a month or so.
Although there was still more than a month left, this time of year was almost always the busiest time for the two companies.
However, Lin Yi was an idle person and remained fine.
Ring ring ring!
After sending Ji Qingyan to work, Lin Yi prepared to go to Yan Ciâs place to see how the preparations for the annual party were going.
However, on the way there, the phone in his pocket rang.
âHello, are you Mr. Lin Yi?â
âThatâs me. Who are you?â
âIâm from Zhonghaiâs customs. You have a package with us. 1 need you to come and collect it.â
âAlright, I understand..â
