Lin Yi had wondered about what Shen Shuyi would answer, but it was only a fleeting thought.
Unexpectedly, she really said this.
âThis is my New Yearâs gift to you. If you donât accept it, I wonât have a good New Year.â
âDidnât I say just now that I wonât reject this gift?â
âThen this will be a happy deal. Iâll call you when itâs all done.â
âAlright,â Shen Shuyi said.
âHowâs the situation on Director Shenâs side? Is there any possibility that he will solve it in the near future?â
âThe progress should be faster later, but Iâm not sure when it will be done.â Lin Yi said.
âI canât rush Boss Shen, but Iâll go over before the new year to talk to him about this.â
âIf possible, itâs best to speed up the progress. The international situation is very tense now. You should understand what I mean.â
âThe Meiguons are going to cause trouble.â
âYou can put it that way. In short, Iâm afraid that something will suddenly happen,â Shen Shuyi said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf one day, you really reach this step, and you can get through this critical challenge, it will further deepen your influence in Huaxia. Youâre a smart person, so you should understand what I mean.â
Lin Yi nodded. âI understand, but I can only say that Iâll do my best.â
âJust do your best. Let me know if you need money. Itâs not a problem to support you with a few billion.â
âHehe, thank you, Aunt Shen.â
âThatâs all for now. Itâs the end of the year. Iâm busy here, so I wonât talk to you anymore.â âOkay Aunt Shen, you go ahead.â
After hanging up on Shen Shuyi, Lin Yi sat back on the sofa.
He felt that things were not looking good.
With Shen Shuyiâs ability, she should know everything about him in Zhonghai.
Forget Ji Qingyan, even Li Chuhan and Wang Ying would not be able to escape her eyes.
It was just that she had not pointed it out yet. Lin Yi rubbed his chin. The upper-class people were probably used to this kind of thing, which was why they were so calm.
That was probably also the reason why she had always helped him unconditionally.
It had nothing to do with his good looks. Instead, it was to increase Liang Ruoxuâs bargaining chips.
Otherwise, he would not have said such words when he gave her Cymerâs shares.
Lin Yi was a little angry. Having a smart mother-in-law wasnât a good thing.
Moreover, with the Liang familyâs status in Huaxia and her influence in the financial industry, no matter how hard he tried, he probably wouldnât be able to crush her.
This was a little f*cked up.
At the thought of this, Lin Yi stretched and decided not to overthink it.
At the very least, he did not have the ability to deal with Shen Shuyi now. He could only take it one step at a time.
However, now that he had settled the matters at hand, he could finally take a look at his plot of land in Four Corner Town tomorrow.
Moreover, it had been three days since he started his new profession.
In a few days, he would be able to activate another profession.
He thought about how busy he was.
When they returned home that night, Lin Yi said to Ji Qingyan, âIs the company busy now?â
âItâs going to be the new year soon. Our subordinates will be busier, but we also have a summary meeting in the next few days. I have to prepare for this well.â
âI plan to go to Four Corner Town tomorrow to take a look at my land. Do you have time to join?â
âYes.â Ji Qingyan perked up. âIâve already made my preparations. Iâve been waiting for this day.â
âOh? Iâm just going there to take a look. Whatâs there to prepare?â
âWait for me. Iâll show you.â
With that, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran back upstairs.
She only came down after more than ten minutes.
Ji Qingyan had changed out of her pajamas.
She was wearing a black leather jacket and loose camouflage pants. She was wearing a pair of black Dr. Martin boots and her pants were tucked inside, making her give off a valiant aura.
âWhat kind of get up is this?â
âIâm dressing up to farm with you.â Ji Qingyan spun around on the spot. âDonât you feel like weâre going to properly work now?â
âI donât feel like youâre a working citizen. Rather, I feel like youâre the silly daughter of a landlord.â
âThatâs not true. Iâve been browsing for outfits online for a long time. Donât you always wear this when youâre working in the fields?â
âOriginally, I bought a camouflage uniform, but the top was a little too small. I mailed it back to them, but the new top hasnât been delivered yet.â
âEven in camouflage, you wonât look like a farmer.â
âThen how should I dress up? We have to love what we do. Even if I donât work in the fields, I still have to pretend.â
âThen come with me.â Lin Yi pulled Ji Qingyan into the kitchen, pinched out some of the soot from the pot, and smeared it on her face.
âYou should look like this.â
âBut thatâs so ugly. I wonât look pretty at all.â
...
âWho works in the fields while wearing a full face of makeup like you.â
âI donât mind if I donât have any makeup on.â She raised her head and continued, âActually, Iâm quite good-looking without makeup, donât you think so?â
âYes, yes, yes. Madam Lin is the most beautiful, but you donât look like a farmer.â
âThen I wonât plant anything. Iâll just direct you from the side.â
âTo put it bluntly, Iâll be the one who does all the hard work.â
âThatâs right.â
âIâm still waiting for Mr. Lin to grow green vegetables for me to eat.â
âThen I expect youâll have to wait until autumn.â âNo problem.â
âI think we should plant something special.
Itâll be a waste to only plant ordinary vegetables.â
âLike what?â
...
Ji Qingyan held Lin Yiâs hand and smiled.
âI want to plant you in the fields. When autumn comes, there will be many more of you. One of you will be in charge of cooking for me, another will be in charge of driving for me, and a third will be in charge of sweeping the floor. Hehe, I can even have another one to warm my bed every day. Just thinking about it is blissful.â
âBy that logic, I should plant you instead.â
âThat way, Iâll be able to sleep with you a couple of times a night.â
âLin Yi, youâre a hooligan. How can you say such shameless words?â
âIt canât be helped. Iâm just an ordinary person. I also want to experience the blessings of others.â This was a competition in craziness. âHmph, you wish. Donât even think about it.â
The next morning, Ji Qingyan woke up early.
Just like the time when they went to the market to get supplies.
Ji Qingyan had brought a lot of things with her, as if she was on an outing.
Lin Yi was used to this.
It was fine as long as she was happy. After the preparations were done, Lin Yi went to the garage to take a look around.
He realized that he only had options of a sports car or a normal city car. These were completely unsuitable for driving into the countryside. He could easily scrape the chassis if he was not careful. âDo you know what car youâll be driving? Should I borrow Yuanyuanâs Cayenne?â
âDonât. If I ask her to lend me a car, sheâll complain about it for a whole year.â Lin Yi looked at his watch.
âItâs still early. Iâll go buy one. I think Iâll need to use it again in the future.â
