Chapter 344 - Thanks, Brother-In-Law
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âAh, right, Yi, Iâve forgotten- what did you call me for?â Xuemin remembered that it was Lin Yi who made the call.
âAh. Grandpa Guan, Iâm sending you an account number- can you help me transfer two hundred thousand over?â Lin Yi said.
âAlright. Iâll have Xin Xin do that on the internet in just a minute.â Xuemin said without asking any questions.
âThanks, Grandpa Guan. About the medicine company⦠I have time these couple of days, so Iâll come visit to talk about it sometime soon. I donât know anything about stuff like that, so Iâll have to trouble you again.â Lin Yi felt bad- he was leaving all the work for Xuemin while he only produced the recipe.
âIf youâre not showing up for the meetings and everything then itâs best to get a representative- Iâm an old man, and while I can help you in terms of credibility and everything, itâs better for you young people to take care of the business side of things.â Xuemin said with a bitter smile. âTo tell the truth, I myself am just an elderly scholar⦠Iâm no better a businessman than you are!â
âAh, I seeâ¦â¦â Lin Yi hadnât thought about anything other than just using Xueminâs name and his recipe, but there was more to starting a company than just that, it seemed. The execution was critical as well.
âThatâs right. My younger sonâs a good candidate- Xin Xinâs father, but I donât want him to be involved.â Xuemin said. âIf you donât plan on taking care of the management yourself than youâll have to get someone you trust to help watch over things.â
âGrandpa Guan, isnât Guan Xin a shareholder of the company? She could help look after things.â Lin Yi suggested.
âHaha, Xin Xinâs a shareholder, but sheâs also a representative of mine. Youâll have to find a different one.â Xuemin said. âOh- come over if you have time, there are some tests we need to run the medicine through before it can go on the market. Thereâs paperwork we need to deal with, too.â
âNo problem- letâs do that this weekend.â Lin Yi was thinking that the birthday feast wouldnât take up too much of his time- he could visit Xuemin after that.
He still had some healing medicine on him, and there was the painkiller medicine heâd given to Huaijun from last time, the recipe of which Xuemin had. He should be testing them in the meantime.
Just two products should be enough for the early stage- too many might dampen the impact. Heâd release more products after theyâd gained some fame.
Guan Xin looked at the account holder and saw Tang Yinâs name- she was a bit disappointed and even a little jealous, but sent the two hundred thousand over anyway.
Mrs. Tangâs bank card was opened using Tang Yinâs name- it had been for Tang Yinâs red packet money and allowance savings, but Tang Yin offered all of that for her father when he got injured. Mrs. Tang didnât bother opening another account, and decided to just use Tang Yinâs card as the family bank card.
A beep sounded from Kang Juâs phone that the card was bound to.
âTwo hundred thousand?â Kang Ju said with surprise.
âTwo hundred?â Mrs. Tangâs surprise was followed by delight- she pulled the phone out of her husbandâs hand and looked at the number, repeatedly counting the zeros to make sure it really was two hundred thousand instead of twenty. âWhat did I tell you, Yin! Little Linâs a good man! See, heâs sent you two hundred thousand when you asked for fifteen! Looks like he heard what I said!â
â......â Tang Yin didnât know if she should be happy with her mother or feel helpless- she was now even further in debt.
âWe have your medical fees now, Old Tang! Letâs go to the hospital tomorrow!â Mrs. Tang said happily- now that her husbandâs disability problem could be handled she wouldnât have to work by herself anymore!
âSis, is brother-in-law really a young master?â Wei was shocked as well- it was as if he were dreaming, there was no way he actually expected this much money to just come into their hands! It turned out that his sister meant much more to Lin Yi than heâd thought, now that an extra fifty thousand had come through!
âWhat young master??â Tang Yin glared. âHeâs not your brother-in-law, either! I have to return this money, alright?â
âHeh, donât be shy, sis!â Wei nodded with a smile. âIâll make sure to save up with Dan, weâll return the money for sure!â
âWhat do you know, youâre just a kid!â Tang Yin hmphed aggressively before remembering that Wei was only half a year younger than her, much more experienced in the love department with his relationship with Dan!
âMake sure to thank brother-in-law for me, sis! Dan and I will thank him in person if he visits, so remember to tell us!â Wei laughed.
âYeah, Tang Yin sis⦠We really need to thank himâ¦â¦â Dan was in disbelief as well- it wasnât that long ago when Wei was talking about selling his kidney.
Tang Yin felt a little uncomfortable as she looked at everyoneâs happy faces- had she made the right decision? Was this what was known as sacrificing herself for the good of the entire family?
She held her phone in her hands tightly and walked out the house and back into the yard, hesitating- Lin Yi wasnât calling back at all! Couldnât he treat the money with more value, at least calling to confirm if sheâd received it! What if the two hundred thousand was lost in the transfer!
She dialed Lin Yiâs number into the phone.
âHello? Lin Yi?â Tang Yin tested after hearing Lin Yiâs silence.
âMmâ¦â¦â Lin Yi responded.
âWhatâre you doing? Why arenât you talking?â Tang Yin asked curiously.
âWas drinking water, Iâm done.â Lin Yi said as he put the glass of water down.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOhâ¦â¦â Tang Yin was really speechless- the guy sure was calm and everything, as if the money didnât mean anything to him⦠But he didnât seem like that kind of guy, nor did he seem that rich- he drove a run-down old van, after all!
