Lin Yi didnât know what Fatty Lai was on about. Was he really thinking of abandoning his already set up company for a managerial position at his new one?
âYouâre leaving your family business behind?â Lin Yi didnât understand what Fatty Lai was trying to achieve.
âI gave the family business to my older brother, Miracle Doctor Lin. I donât want it anymore, and itâs better this way. I donât want to fight my brother all the time.â Fatty Lai smiled. âPlus, I feel like Iâll have a much brighter future if I follow you! Miracle Doctor Lin, I can see this company of yours getting much bigger than that Miracle Doctor Kang Medicine Company! As your companyâs manager and Miracle Doctor Linâs spokesperson, Iâll be a big shot! My brother will probably come kneeling and crying when he knows how important the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing is!â
âKneeling and crying⦠Donât you do that all the time?â Lin Yi was rather impressed by Fatty Laiâs spirit. He was abandoning so much to come work with him.
âHeh heh, thatâs different. Youâre a miracle doctor! I wouldnât be kneeling and crying just to anybody.â Fatty Lai said, a little embarrassed.
Lin Yi had thought that the guy was a natural-born crybaby, but it turned out that he was only a crybaby to him. Lin Yi found that to be quite a headache.
âThatâs good and all, but this medicine company is just something Iâm starting on a whim. Iâm not sure if itâll go on, or if thereâll be any products! Thereâs too many uncertainties!â Lin Yi wanted Fatty Lai to understand what he was getting himself into. Who knew how things would progress from here? His old man didnât give him a clear answer either.
âItâs alright, Miracle Doctor Lin. Why donât you accept me as your follower?â Fatty Lai was a smart man, and heâd understood the reality of the situation long ago. Lin Yi was no ordinary man, and he definitely wouldnât be taking any losses following him.
After all, money had long since lost its importance to someone whoâd been raised in luxury. What Fatty Lai wanted now was fame and power, something Lin Yi could very well help him with!
Being a follower isnât too fun, but that depended on who was followed. Needless to say, heâd be completely willing if Lin Yi was the one heâd be following!
Lin Yi was someone with extreme power. With those medical skills, the strongest houses would trample over one another to get in line and get on Lin Yiâs good side! Everyone got sick, and everyone would eventually die. Lin Yiâs ability to slow down their dying process was a one in a million value!
Follower? He may just be a follower then, but follower also meant spokesperson when he dealt with the public! Lin Yi was a busy man, so of course he wouldnât have time dealing with all those people trying to kiss ass. If he were to then show up as Lin Yiâs follower⦠Heh hehâ¦
Fatty Lai was feeling rather sweet and warm just thinking about it! What was an electronic company worth compared to this? His brother had limited vision, getting all fixated on that when he was seizing this golden opportunity!
One had to have thick skin to be a crybaby. Fatty Lai was one such example, thick-skinned and crying all the time. Wasnât that what got Lin Yi to like him?
âYou wanna be my follower?â Lin Yi looked at Fatty Lai oddly. âI donât need a follower though.â
âNo, no, Boss Lin Yi! Hear me out!â Fatty Lai started analyzing again, now addressing Lin Yi as âBoss Lin Yiâ as Lin Yi blinked, speechless. âBoss, you need to understand who you are! After the medicine company gets all set up thereâll be a lot of powerful families coming to your doorstep to beg for the medicines! You canât meet everyone who wants to meet the boss, one by one, right? Youâre busy enough as it is, and you still need to mess around with girls and live life! You wonât have time at all! So youâll need a follower to handle all that stuff for you, and Iâm a good candidate for that!â
Lin Yi thought about it. Fatty Lai was making sense. âBut I have a follower already.â
âYouâre talking about Kang Xiaobo? Think about it, thatâs not enough!â Fatty Lai shook his head. âHowâs one follower enough? And Kang Xiaoboâs always by your side, going to school with you as you enjoy life- he canât always be taking care of company affairs, can he? Itâll be enough for him to be the vice chairman. Iâll be the follower who takes care of the company!â
Lin Yi nodded, but he did leave something out. He still had one more follower back in his old home, Er Goudan. He thought about Goudanâs intelligence level and shook his head. The guy was a fighter and a punching bag, but that was about it.
He decided that heâd give the guy a call someday, see what he was up to. He was starting to miss him after so long.
Fatty Lai continued to strike the iron while it was hot. Lin Yi seemed to be agreeing with what he was saying! âAnd, youâre not just a nobody, boss! You canât just have one follower in the first place! Look at all the big shot characters, they all have tons of followers! Chauffeur, bodyguards, secretaries, butlers, nanniesâ¦â
âAlright, alright, stop. Iâll accept you as an intern follower first then! Iâll make you an official one if you pass the test period.â Lin Yi was getting a little annoyed from Fatty Laiâs ramblings, but the guy was making sense.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The problem was that Lin Yi himself was a follower tooâ¦. He wondered how it would look now that Fatty Lai was his follower, especially when he went out with the Miss.
A follower having followers⦠He might very well be the first in history, the strongest follower.
âHaha, Iâll be your follower from now on then, Miracle Doctor Lin!â Fatty Lai said happily, forgetting that the word âinternâ was supposed to be attached to the title. âDonât worry. Just leave the medicine company to me!â
Lin Yi didnât know what to say. This Fatty Lai was much more passionate about this than he was. It seemed that heâd have much less to trouble himself with having a follower like that by his side.
Although, he wasnât completely trusting of Fatty Lai just yet. He needed to know exactly what sort of person he was first, and until then there were still things he couldnât leave to him to handle. Heâd have to wait and see.
He handed the medicine to Fatty Lai upon finishing it and sat on the sofa after he left. âWhat do you think, Grandpa Guan?â
âYouâre talking about Mr. Lai?â Xuemin asked.
âYeah. I feel like thereâs something up with him?â Lin Yi thought that the way Fatty Lai spoke and did things wasnât typical of an elite in the business field. He looked more like an idiot. If it werenât for his business suggestions from earlier, Lin Yi wouldâve even assumed that the guy was one of those young masters who never did anything worthwhile.
âNot at all.â Xuemin shook his head. âWhen you two were talking I did some research on the web and searched up Lai Changyi. After graduating from college at twenty-two, he used the fifty million yuan in capital his family gave him to start his own business. While he did use his familyâs connections, he managed to turn the fifty million into a trading company and a real estate company in just ten years, both worth more than ten billion. Heâs not a nobody. As for his crying, I think thatâs just because of the situation. Heâs a good son, and heâd only kneel and cry when itâs for his father. I didnât find anything humiliating about him in the news at all.â
