Chapter 51: Chapter 51 - Fighting Landlords is Also Popular in Africa?

“It’s ruined!”

Qingyan’s face turned ugly. No matter what, this was a gift Lin Yi had prepared for her grandfather.

No matter what the problem was, it was up to her grandfather to decide how to deal with it!

It was not up to him to do anything!

“Qing Yan, this is the rule of the antique world. If you come across a fake one like this, you have to destroy it on the spot,” Fu Zhengping said.

“Ah...”

Ji Yongqing sighed secretly.

Although the painting was fake, it looked pretty good. He could take it out and look at it normally.

Now that the painting was destroyed, it was too late to say anything.

“Don’t be angry. Let me handle this.”

Ji Qingyan paused and turned to look at Lin Yi. She suddenly felt like she was being protected.

“Handle this?”

Fu Zhengping shrugged. “It’s just a fake painting that I tore up. I’m following the rules.”

Old Man Liu walked out and said.

“Mr. Lin, you’re not in the right. Just let it go so you don’t lose face.”

“This is none of your business.”

That cold sentence scared Old Man Liu so much that he didn’t dare to say anything more.

“Are you the person-in-charge of Didi’s operations in Yanjing?” Lin Yi asked lightly.

“That’s right. Do you have a problem with that?”

“It’s nothing,” Lin Yi said. “I just wanted to tell you that your operating license has been revoked.”

Huh?

Lin Yi’s words stunned everyone.

Especially Fu Zhengping, who started laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

“Lin Yi, are you trying to make me laugh?” Fu Zhengping asked.

“You think you can talk nonsense just because you have some money?”

“I own 20% of Didi’s shares. Do you think I have the right to say that?”

Everyone was shocked!

“What, what did you say! You own 20% of Didi’s shares?!” Fu Zhengping exclaimed.

“That’s right.”

“Haha...”

Fu Zhengping laughed again. “I think you’re trying to make me laugh. There’s a limit to what you can say.”

“Lin Yi, what are you talking about?”

Ji Qingyan pulled Lin Yi aside. “Don’t mess around. This isn’t the time for jokes. You can’t scare Fu Zhengping.”

Lin Yi smiled and whispered into Ji Qingyan’s ear.

“If I really own 20% of the shares, will you let me feast my eyes at night?”

Ji Qingyan’s face turned red and she said indiscernibly.

“You’re going to die. Why are you saying that?”

Lin Yi laughed and looked at Fu Zhengping and the others.

“I know you guys don’t believe me, but you can call Cheng Shuang and tell him that I’m Lin Yi. He’ll give you an answer.”

Fu Zhengping wasn’t sure what to say anymore. He took out his phone suspiciously and dialled Cheng Shuang’s number.

A few seconds later, the call was answered.

“Director Cheng, I’m Fu Zhengping, Didi’s operator in Yanjing.”

“I know, say what you have to say quickly. I’m in a meeting.”

“Director Cheng, don’t worry, I just want to ask, do you know someone named Lin Yi?”

“What did you say? Lin Yi?”

“That’s right, he’s right beside me.”

Cheng Shuang raised her voice, “I order you to treat Director Lin well. He’s the second-largest shareholder in our company. If you don’t treat him well, I’ll immediately revoke your operating license!”

“He... he’s really Didi’s shareholder?”

Fu Zhengping was dumbfounded as his legs went soft!

“Of course. Director Lin holds 21% of our company’s shares. If you don’t treat him well, Director Lin will have the right to revoke your license as an agent without my permission!”

“But this man said that he only holds 20% of the shares. Could it be that I have just met someone with the same name?”

“That’s because I gave Director Lin Zhang Daqian’s famous painting, ‘The Picture of the Peach Blossom’. Director Lin didn’t want to take advantage of me, so he transferred 1% of the shares to me! That’s why he owns 20% of the shares now!”

Bang!

Fu Zhengping’s phone fell to the ground. His head was buzzing, and he felt like the sky was falling.

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. How powerful was this man in front of her?

He was so young, and he was an orphan. How could he buy so many of Didi’s shares?

After all, this did not only require money, but also means and the ability to mediate the deal.

Normal people did not have that ability to do such a thing.

“Now, as Didi’s second-largest shareholder, I announce that your operating rights have been revoked.” Lin Yi put his hands in his pockets and said condescendingly.

“Of course, there might be a breach of contract fee involved. I’ll inform Didi’s legal department to handle this matter.”

“Lin Yi, don’t go too far!”

Tianxin couldn’t hold it in any longer and yelled, “There’s no need to completely kill them!”

“You’re Qingyan’s boyfriend, after all. Don’t you care about family at all?” Anrong exclaimed.

“If Qingyan asked, I’d agree to anything, but you guys can’t go around making request,” Lin Yi said.

“Now, after we’re done talking about Fu Zhengping, let’s talk about the rest.”

“What else do you have to say after you stripped Zhengping of his operating license?!” Tianxin roared.

Her parents’ company was already in dire straits.

Fu Zhengping was her biggest source of income. If he collapsed, she would be in a very difficult position!

If she could, Tianxin wished that Lin Yi would die on the spot.

“Just now, he tore up the painting that I gave to old Mister Ji in front of so many people. Shouldn’t he compensate me?”

Hiss–

The crowd remembered Fu Zhengping tearing up the painting.

Didi’s CEO had clearly stated that he gave his painting to Lin Yi.

This meant that the painting he gave to Ji Yongqing was authentic!

Judging from the current market, he would have to fork out at least 200 million in compensation!

“No, don’t...”

Fu Zhengping’s face was pale, and he was so scared that he peed his pants.

“I... I didn’t do it on purpose. Director Lin, please give me a chance. If I knew that the painting was real, I would never have torn it up!”

“What’s the point of saying all this now? Can you not be sentenced if you say you’re sorry after killing someone?”

Fu Zhengping grabbed Yang Tianxin’s hand tightly.

“Tianxin, you have to help me. Otherwise, I’m really finished!”

“Get lost!”

Yang Tianxin shook Fu Zhengping off and said coldly,

“From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You go your way and I’ll go mine. You want me to help you pay off your debt? Dream on!”

Fu Zhengping hugged Tianxin’s legs tightly. “Tianxin, don’t leave me. I was so good to you before. You can’t abandon me now!”

“Ptui! Stay away from me. Don’t dirty my dress!”

“You can’t be so heartless! You said you’d be with me forever!”

“Cough cough cough...”

Lin Yi coughed lightly. “Men have gold under their knees. If you’re a man, get up. It’s not worth it for a woman like this.”

“Lin Yi, what do you mean?” Tianxin said angrily.

If it wasn’t for him, Fu Zhengping would not be in this situation today, and she would still be able to live the life of a rich lady!

But now, it was all over!

“Hehe, don’t be angry. The show has only just begun.”

Lin Yi tightened his grip on Qingyan’s waist and said in a low voice,

“Tell your family to bring all the guests to the side. I have something else to tell your family.”

“Okay.” Qingyan nodded, not understanding what he meant. “Got it.”

Soon, all the guests were taken to the side.

Only the Ji family was left in the courtyard.

“Grandson-in-law, what are you trying to say? Why are you being so mysterious?”Ji Yongqing asked.

“It’s about your granddaughter, Tianxin Yang.”

Tianxin looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. “Stop playing tricks. If you have something to say, say it quickly!”

“Don’t worry,” Lin Yi said.

“You took my car to the Peninsula Hotel Yesterday, right?”

Tianxin’s expression changed slightly. “My friend and I are were going to play cards there. Isn’t that allowed? Is it against the law?”

“Then you’re really something. You actually invited two black guys to play cards with you,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Is fighting landlords also popular in Africa?”
