Lin Yiâs request puzzled Sun Maoqun.
âCITIC Group shouldnât be one of Mr. Linâs companies, right? This wonât do you any good.â
âJust do as I say.â Lin Yi nodded. âAlthough this money was provided by Lingyun Group, it doesnât have anything to do with us.â
Lin Yi had originally planned to do this with Wen Shu.
However, in the end, she did not even give him a chance to speak and he had to simply let Sun Maoqun do it.
âAlright, I understand. Weâll just say that CITIC Group did this.â
Lin Yi nodded. âIâll send someone over later to discuss the construction with you. Youâll have to cooperate with them.â
âDonât worry, Mr. Lin. It will definitely go well.â
After discussing the matter, the two of them did not leave immediately. They still had to move Li Chuhanâs motherâs grave the next day.
He had already informed Tian Yan about this matter. He would arrange for someone to come the next day. In order to carry out the specific operation, he had to stay back for yet another day.
Over the past few days, Sun Maoqun had arranged for Lin Yi to live in a very âluxuriousâ house in Beiqiao Town. It was a large brick house measuring more than a hundred square meters.
Usually, important guests would be arranged to stay there.
âWhere is your underwear?â Li Chuhan asked before she went to bed.
âHuh? Underwear?â
âYes, Iâll wash it for you.â
âI donât think thatâs necessary. It might not even dry by tomorrow.â
âThereâs a hairdryer. Iâll dry it for you,â Li Chuhan said. âSleep naked tonight. Itâs good for your health. Iâll pass it to you after itâs dry.â
âUh, what about yourself?â
âMe too.â
âAll right, then.â
Lin Yi laid down comfortably, and Li Chuhan took his things to the courtyard.
He stole a glance outside. Li Chuhanâs figure was elongated by the dim yellow light, reflecting the gentleness in the depths of her heart.
The so-called virtuousness was all talk.
The next morning, the people Tian Yan had sought out arrived at Beiqiao Town very early.
Ritual, spirit, cremationâ¦
All the procedures were completed step by step. Liu Dajun and Liu Kai stood aside with complicated feelings and did not dare to say a word.
Although it was not a big deal, it took Li Chuhan half a day to complete the matters in Beiqiao Town.
She held her motherâs ashes in her hand and looked at the rearview mirror. The shadow of Beiqiao Town was getting further and further away.
Li Chuhan knew that the meaning of this place to her was contained in only two words: Beiqiao Town.
âDonât look, itâs already the past.â Lin Yi said.
âI may never come back.â
âThe most precious thing here is already in your hands. Thereâs nothing left to miss.â
In Lin Yiâs eyes, Li Chuhan was like a lonely gravekeeper.
Beiqiao Town was the lonely grave she guarded in the depths of her heart.
He silently hoped that the clouds of the past would dissipate and shed a ray of light on her heart.
â¦
By the time the two of them rushed back to Zhonghai, it was already past four in the afternoon.
According to feng shui, it was best to bury people in the morning, so they decided to bring the ashes back first and do these things the next morning.
âDo you have something to do tonight?â Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi and asked.
âThere are some other things in the company that I have to deal with. You can eat by yourself. I wonât accompany you.â
âGot it. Donât tire yourself out. Rest more.â
âDonât worry, I got it.â Lin Yi replied and prepared to leave.
However, the moment Lin Yi turned around, Li Chuhan called out to him from behind.
âLin Yiâ¦â
âAnything else?â
Li Chuhanâs expression was uneasy. Under the quiet light, her shy face was revealed.
âDidnât you say that you liked children?â
âYeah, whatâs wrong?â Lin Yi was confused.
âAlthough I have no intention of getting married, Iâm willing to bear a child for you.â
âB-bear a child?â
âDonât be nervous. There is no pressure on you. If you want it, I can and am willing to do it for you.â
âUmâ¦â
Were all female doctorsâ confessions so unique?
âHow about now? If we hurry up, we can still make it. The house should be soundproof, right?â
Li Chuhanâs face turned red like a ripe apple.
âIââ
Seeing Li Chuhanâs nervous breathing, Lin Yi laughed out loud.
âIâll remember this. Donât be anxious. At the very least, I donât have any plans to have a child yet. Let me have fun for a few more years.â
âThen Iâll wait for you. Iâm willing to do anything for you.â
Lin Yi smiled and left. He wasnât surprised that Li Chuhan would say something like that.
However, she would be filled with a lot of gratitude after what he did in her hometown, so it was better to give her some time to calm down.
After leaving Li Chuhanâs house, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group and met up with Ji Qingyan.
This was because she had already booked a place and invited He Yuanyuan and Qi Xianzhao to welcome him back.
They could also talk about work.
âBoss, how did you feel about going to Beiqiao Town this time?â In the private room, He Yuanyuan asked with a glass of red wine.
âOther places are so poor that they canât even make a peep,â Lin Yi said.
âBasically, all the children are educated at home. Less than 30% of them are in school, and they can only attend up to elementary school. Therefore, we should hurry up with the matters concerning the school.â
âDonât worry, Iâve already made the arrangements. The project surrounding Beiqiao Town will be our main focus. Weâll try to finish it within three months.â
âDo your best. Donât fall behind on your other projects.â
She smiled radiantly. âDonât worry, Iâll make the necessary arrangements.â
Lin Yi nodded and looked at He Yuanyuan.
âDonât do this project under Lingyun Groupâs name. Iâve told you before. Do it under CITIC Groupâs name. We donât want any credit.â
âHuh? Why is that?â Ji Qingyan was displeased. She couldnât bear to see Lin Yi suffer.
âBecause other than the five million yuan, the rest of the money was provided by CITIC. I donât want to take advantage of others,â Lin Yi said.
âBut we didnât lose out either. CITIC improved their a reputation while Chaoyang Group earned money, and even did charity work for Beiqiao Town. Itâs a three-win situation. I think this is quite good.â
Ji Qingyan pursed her lips. Actually, she did not care about the money she earned.
The most important thing was to help Lingyun Group build their social reputation.
However, since Lin Yi had already said so, there was no room for negotiation.
In fact, there was a deeper reason for Lin Yiâs actions.
Shen Shuyi had given him this sum of money to reveal her identity and warn him.
He might as well return these things back to her. When expressing his stance, he could simultaneously do her a favor. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Although I look like a persimmon, you canât f*cking pinch me.
âBy the way, did Cisco say when theyâll need us to pay the balance?â
âNow that the goods have been produced, weâre finalizing the inventory. We verbally agreed to pay for the shipment the day after tomorrow afternoon.â
âAlright, I understand.â Lin Yi said, âLetâs do it then.â
âThen should we prepare the remaining 2.5 billion?â
âPrepare my *ss, thatâs 2.5 billion.How many pig trotters can you buy with that money?â Lin Yi waved his hand, âCome, continue eating, replenish your collagen.â
âWhat should we do then?â
âWell, Cisco will collapse the afternoon after tomorrow. None of us will need to pay a dime.â
Upon hearing this, the trio exchanged glances.
Cisco was now like the sun in the sky. How could it fall just like that?
âRight, howâs Ciscoâs stocks doing now?â Lin Yi asked.
âSince three days ago, Ciscoâs shares have been rising to the limit. You know the reason for this. Thereâs news outside that the collaboration between Didi and Cisco is about to be completed, causing their shares to soar. This has caused Cao Jiadongâs net worth to soar to 50 billion. Heâs the highest-flyer in Chinaâs technology circle.â
âThis is all my doing, donât make a big deal out of it.â Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan. âI remember asking you to invest 100 million in Cisco. Do you still remember that?â
âI remember,â Ji Qingyan replied. âItâs at least doubled now.â
âThe day after tomorrow, before nine oâclock, throw it all away. Donât leave a single cent behind.â
The three of them looked at Lin Yi.
âBoss, are you going to do something big at nine in the morning the day after tomorrow?â
Lin Yi chuckled and kept them in suspense. âYou two donât have to go to the company the day after tomorrow, but wear some formal attire and Iâll take you to watch the show.â
âGot it.â
After the meal ended, the four of them split into three groups and returned home.
When Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lu Ying had already installed all the equipment.
All that was left was to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
Their lives were still the same as before. Lin Yi focused on his work, while Ji Qingyan was like a lazy cat as she her casually did her work.
âLin Yi, where are you going the day after tomorrow?â Ji Qingyan asked.
âDo you want to go too?â
âI didnât say I wanted to go. I was just asking.â
âWeâre not doing anything. In any case, if youâre not interested. Whatâs the point of asking so much?â
âDonât I have the right to know?â Ji Qingyan pouted. âYou didnât invite me either. How do you know I donât want to go?â
âThen now, I sincerely invite President Ji to join meâ¦â
âOkay, I agree.â
Lin Yi was speechless.
âI hadnât finished yet. Why did you agree?â
âI knew what you were going to say, so I just agreed in advance.â
âBut I wanted to ask you to make a baby with meâ¦â
