620 Why Are You Being So Distant With Me?
âA call from Mr. Liu?â
The two of them subconsciously became nervous. It couldnât have really changed, right?
Logically speaking, it shouldnât be possible. Her father had given him tens of thousands of yuan. If he didnât even have the ability to do this, it would be too ridiculous.
âMr. Liu.â
After picking up the phone, Song Yuting whispered.
âWhy?!
âBut⦠I knowâ¦â
The call was quickly ended. From her expression, Wang Qi could already guess what was going on.
âYuting, they didnât really change it, did they?â
âYeah.â Song Yuting looked at Lin Yi and Wang Lu coldly. âYou guys are too despicable!â
âDespicable?â Lin Yi smiled, âDidnât you say that you donât want to act? Iâm just helping you. What right do you have to call me despicable?â
âYou!â Song Yuting slammed the table angrily. âWhether I want to act or not has nothing to do with you, but let me say this. I will definitely get this role back!â
âIf you have the ability, fight for it with your own ability. How can you just rely on your family?!â
âWhy? Are you guys not convinced?â
Song Yuting said, âMy family is rich. This is my advantage. Your family is poor. How can you blame others?â
âAlright, Yuting, stop talking. Letâs go.â Wang Qi tried to smooth things over.
âLetâs go. I donât want to stay here anymore,â Song Yuting said. âI want to see who can snatch this role away from me!â
Creakâ¦
At that moment, the door opened and a man in a blue shirt and slacks walked in.
âDad, youâre here.â
Seeing the middle-aged man coming in, Song Yuting responded.
âAre you done eating? Iâll buy something and bring it back to your mother later. She hasnât eaten yet.â
âDonât buy anything here, their food doesnât taste good!â Song Yuting said.
âDad, let me ask you, my role in the play has been reassigned. Whatâs going on?!â
âHuh? Itâs been reassigned?â Song Yutingâs father said.
âThatâs impossible. Iâve already discussed it with your dean. How could this happen?â
âItâs all his fault!â
Song Yuting pointed at Lin Yi and said, âHe was the one who did this to me. He wouldnât leave me alone. You have to help me get this spot back!â
âAlright, alright, alright. Calm down. Isnât it just a role in a performance? Iâll call and ask laterâ¦â
Song Yutingâs father stopped mid-sentence.
âPresident Lin?â
âYes?â
This form of address stunned everyone present. Why did he call him President Lin?
âAnd you are?â
Lin Yi thought about it and didnât seem to know this person.
âDirector Lin, Iâm Song Shichao from Tengda Technology. I participated in the Chip 2.0 press conference you held previously. I admire you, President Lin. The younger generation will all eventually surpass us, and I am not afraid to admit that Iâm inferior.â
Song Yuting looked at her father in shock.
âDad, do you know each other?â
âI know President Lin, but President Lin doesnât know me.â Song Shichao smiled awkwardly and said.
âIt just so happens that we met today, so let me introduce you. President Lin is the president of Lingyun Group. Longxin Research Institute and Didi are both wholly owned subsidiaries under President Lin. Their net worth is hundreds of billions. Among the younger generation of Zhonghai, he is definitely the best.â
âWorth⦠worth hundreds of billions?â
Everyone in the small shop was stunned, including Wang Lu and Du Yuxuan.
They all knew that Lin Yi was rich, but they didnât know that he was so rich!
What kind of concept was 100 billion?
They had never seen so much money even in their dreams.
âA net worth of 100 billion might be a little understated. In short, President Linâs ability and financial resources are not something we can imagine.â Song Shichao flattered.
âSince President Lin wants you to vacate the role, then donât fight for it anymore.â
Song Yutingâs expression collapsed.
His own companyâs market value was only a few hundred million yuan. It might not even be a fraction of the other partyâs. There was no way to compare the two!
Even if she wanted to fight for it, she wouldnât stand a chance.
âGot it.â
Song Shichao bowed and handed over his business card. âPresident Lin, I hope we can have a chance to work together in the future.â
âAlright.â Lin Yi took the business card and nodded.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Song Shichao and the other two left the store.
âBrother Lin, youâre too amazing,â Wang Lu said with a smile.
âI didnât know that there was a billionaire by my side.â
âItâs all nonsense. Donât be so excited.â Lin Yi smiled. âHowâs your sister recently? Sheâs doing well, right?â
âYes, yes. Sheâs doing quite good. Brother Lin, donât worry about her.â
After dinner, Wang Lu was in no hurry to leave. She helped Lin Yi with his work for a while until Ji Qingyan arrived.
When school eventually ended at night, the shopâs business became busy.
Although their income had increased, she felt as though she had lost something.
There was no longer that leisurely feeling, and they had less time to spend together.
However, in her opinion, this might be Lin Yiâs so-called life.
It was the smell of the human world.
It was soon almost eight oâclock in the evening, and there were fewer and fewer customers in the shop because it was time to close.
It had been like this for the past few days. Ji Qingyan did not want Lin Yi to be too tired, so she would arrange for him to close his shop at the appropriate time.
[Mission completed. Reward: 200,000 proficiency points.]
[Profession Completion Rate, 60% Reward, Perfect Physique.]
The notification in his mind made Lin Yi stop what he was doing.
Lin Yi had already expected that he would be able to complete the mission today.
However, he did not expect this reward.
The systemâs rewards were getting more and more flirtatious.
The lithography machine and phone system were both money pits. Wouldnât it be good to give him some money and leave him in peace?
Iâm already perfect. I donât need this at all.
As if hearing Lin Yiâs ridicule, the system said,
[Perfect Physique is a special bodily function, not a one-sided external manifestation. ]
âYes?â
Lin Yiâs expression froze. This reward seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
âIt can change my bodyâs functions? The Bone Density Potion from before should be similar to this, right?â
[Yes.]
âWhat kind of changes can this perfect system bring me?â
[It can remove the impurities in your body and make you a healthier person.]
âYouâre f*cking kidding me. Canât you just give me some money? I donât want some bullsh*t perfect physique. I just want to make money.â
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he felt a change in his body.
Bean-sized beads of sweat dripped from his forehead as if he had just exited a sauna.
Lin Yi could tell that the sweat was probably the impurities in his body.
This was because he could clearly feel that his body was more agile than before, and his overall attributes had increased.
This should be the effect of the perfect system.
âSystem, this thing is not bad.â
The system didnât say anything and automatically disappeared.
âWhy are you leaving just like that? Since youâre already here, why donât you stay for a meal? Why are you being so distant with me?â
