Although he was very rich now, in the eyes of those in power, he was indeed nothing.
Even if he developed the photolithography machine, his influence would still be lacking.
However, if he entered the circle of power, his future was limitless.
“I got it.”
“As long as you understand.” Yang Guangxia said,
“Don’t forget to send me some meat when you slaughter the pig. I’m still waiting to eat some pork.”
“I’ll send it to you before anyone else. You’re already so old. Can you not be so greedy?”
“Then 1’11 wait.”
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi got out of the car and left.
Watching Lin Yi leave, Mo Hongshan said,
“Chief, isn’t it a little too early to tell him this?”
“On the other hand, I think it is timely. He participated in the Central Guards Brigade’s operation a few days ago and received a personal second-class merit. Although 1 don’t know what he did, you should know how difficult it is to obtain a second-class merit.”
“He got a second-class meritorious service award right after he joined the mission?”
Mo Hongshan and Gao Chong were shocked.
“I’ve been in the army for so many years, but I’ve only gotten a third-class merit.”
“The Central Guards Brigade’s operations are all very confidential, so 1 didn’t ask much about this. However, the fact that he was able to obtain a second-class merit is enough to show that Lin Yi did something earth-shattering. Ordinary people wouldn’t have been able to do such a thing.”
“Chief, are you saying these things because you’re afraid that he’ll turn traitor?”
“I’m worried about that. He’s too outstanding. I reckon it won’t be long before he’s targeted by people outside the borders. All kinds of temptations will follow, and such things are common in the history of the Central Guards Brigade. 1 know he’s not that kind of person, but I still have to do what needs to be done. I’m really afraid that he’ll go down the wrong path.”
Mo Hongshan and Gao Chong looked at each other and smiled.
“I don’t think that’s possible. His temperament is far more tenacious than we imagined. He won’t be tempted by those things. I believe that it won’t be long before he becomes the sword of the Central Guards Brigade. It’s only a matter of time before he completely conquers Tilia Island.”
“Haha…” Yang Guangxia laughed. “I think so too. I haven’t seen such an interesting person in so many years. I believe he won’t disappoint me.”
After leaving the hospital, Lin Yi drove to Tangchen First Class.
When he arrived, Du Dahai and Du Yao had already set up their stall.
“Brother Lin, why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Du Yao walked over and said.
“Something came up at home, so I was delayed.”
Lin Yi looked at the dishes in front of Du Dahai. “Business should be good. Only half of your stuff is left.”
“It’s going much better than yesterday. 1 expect it’ll be sold out by noon.”
Lin Yi nodded. “From now on, if we have any vegetables at home, we can sell them here. It’s much better than going out to the county.”
Du Dahai smiled honestly.
“It’s because you set up a stall here that 1 dared to follow you. If you don’t come in the future, 1’11 have to go to the county city.”
“What are you afraid of? I’ve already reserved the spot for you. Just set it up here. No one will disturb you.”
“That won’t do either,” Du Dahai said.
“Not many people in the village know that I’m selling vegetables here now. If this goes on for too long and news of this spreads in the village, they will definitely call you and ask you to help them get the permit to sell vegetables in the city. When that happens, you’ll be disturbed. 1 can’t cause trouble for you.”
“That’s true.” Lin Yi smiled.
Lin Yi liked to stay in Happiness Village mainly because of these simple villagers.
They were very self-aware and knew how to think about others. They did not like to burden each other. Everyone was very honest.
“Brother Lin, don’t chat with my father for now. I have something to ask you.”
Du Yao pulled Lin Yi aside excitedly with a mysterious expression.
“What happened?”
Du Yao took out her phone and opened the app for QQvideos.
“Brother Lin, 1 watched a wilderness survival program this morning. There’s someone who looks exactly like you and has the same name. Was it you?”
Lin Yi looked at the video.
It was the show that Yan Ci had recorded previously. He didn’t expect it to start showing so quickly.
“I recorded it for fun some time ago. Don’t make a fuss. It’s not a big deal.”
“Isn’t it a big deal?” Du Yao’s eyes lit up.
“You’ve been filmed in a show. Coupled with your looks, as long as you work hard, it won’t be a problem for you to become a celebrity. Most importantly, you’re in the same group as Zhao Yinian. This wall bring about a huge wave of popularity.”
“She’s just a B-list celebrity. How much traffic can she have?”
“That’s where you’re wrong.” Du Yao said.
“Because of this show, she’s already popular. Moreover, a few days ago, she even appeared in a television drama. Although she’s also acting as the second female lead, she’s very popular. She’s constantly trending on Weibo and will soon step into the ranks of A-list female celebrities. If you were in same group as her during this show, your value will definitely rise in the future. You might even become an A-list celebrity.”
“Don’t you know my situation? 1 really can’t be bothered with those small sums of money.”
“True.”
Du Yao recalled the night she came to Zhonghai. She had spent more than 300,000 yuan on food and accommodation. Brother Lin didn’t even blink. He must be someone who didn’t lack money. He probably wouldn’t get involved in the entertainment industry.
“Don’t waste Little Yi’s time. Help me get the fruits from the car,” Du Dahai said.
“Got it, Dad.”
Du Yao helped Lin Yi move the fruits out of the car and prepared to work.
At noon, Du Yao went to buy three lunch boxes, and lunch was settled just like that.
“By the way, you come here to sell vegetables every day. Don’t you have to attend school classes anymore?”
“I resigned half a month ago. I’m preparing for the second round now.”
“Are you done with the written test?”
“I finished that a long time ago.” Du Yao smiled and said.
“The interview is in ten days. I’m a little worried. 1 only did my internship to get more experience, but I’m afraid I’ll still be nervous during the interview.”
“What was your score on the written test?”
Because he had worked in school for a period of time, Lin Yi had some understanding of the postgraduate entrance examination.
The school admitted postgraduate students based on the combined results of the written examination and interview.
Therefore, if the written test results were high, the pressure she would face during the interview would not be so great.
“The written test results weren’t ideal. Although I passed, I was ranked eighth. I still have to work hard during the interview.”
“Your results are not bad. It’s not as bad as you think. There’s still a high chance you will make it.”
“Thank you, Brother Lin. 1’11 work hard.”
At around one in the afternoon, Du Dahai’s vegetables were almost sold out. It wouldn’t take long for them to finish their work for the day.
On the other hand, Lin Yi’s business was bleak.
Although many people approached to inquire about the fruits, they scoffed when they heard the price.
He only sold a total of 10,000 yuan worth of goods. It could be described as a tragic sight.
At this moment, Lin Yi saw two female mounted police officers stop in front of his stall.
He muttered in his heart.
First, it was the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, then the general police, and now the traffic police.
Did he need all the official departments to come over to inspect his stall before he could properly conduct his business?
