Lu Beichen could roughly guess Lin Yi’s personality by basing it on Lin Jingzhan.
They were both the type who didn’t like to be restrained. Even if you made it clear that you wouldn’t restrict them, you would still feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the best way to handle them was to let them be and allow them to do whatever they liked.
As long as Lin Yi could make some contributions, Lu Beichen would be able to profit.
“It’s embarrassing hearing you say that.”
Lin Yi could feel the kindness in Lu Beichen’s words, which made him a little embarrassed.
After all, he was one of the beneficiaries.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. The Central Guards Brigade is a free place to begin with. 1 have no need to restrict you.”
“Alright then.” Lin Yi poured a cup of tea for Lu Beichen and said.
“I can’t be sure of what happens in the future, but 1 don’t think my thoughts will change for the time being. I’ll help Team 1 as much as 1 can for the time being. However, 1 won’t be responsible for what happens next.”
“Haha... I’m relieved to hear that.” Lu Beichen smiled and said.
“When I first heard from Liu Hong that you were unwilling to meet me, 1 was wondering if you were unwilling to take on a bigger role in the Central Guards Brigade.”
“That’s not it. My hesitance was only because the fruits in my greenhouse were ripe. I’m in a hurry to sell them.” Lin Yi said.
“Now that I’ve brought everything to Yanjing, if I can’t sell it here, I’ll have to go back.”
“Kid, you’re really...” Lu Beichen smiled and said.
“This is the first time I’ve seen a billionaire selling fruits. However, Yanjing is no worse than Zhonghai. You’re smart for trying to sell the fruits here.”
“Don’t say that. If 1 continue selling at my initial price of 3,000 yuan for 5oog, I might not be able to sell everything.”
“Huh? A fruit that costs 3,000 yuan for soog? Is it made of gold? Did no one from the Industry and Commerce Department look for you?”
Lu Beichen was extremely surprised. Even the special fruits they ate could not be sold at this price.
“They came looking for me on my first day of business,” Lin Yi said.
“But Zhonghai is my territory. When people from the relevant departments come, 1 just need to tell them my name to shoo them off. But it’s not the same in Yanjing. There’s a real risk of being caught here, so 1 don’t like coming here.”
“It’s so expensive. It’ll be strange if they didn’t look for you.” Lu Beichen smiled and said.
“But I’m here, so just sell them boldly. I’ll protect you.”
Lin Yi chuckled. “That sounds good to me.”
“Wait for me to get someone to contact you. Don’t worry about this.”
“Got it.”
“Alright, that’s all for today. I’m going back to sleep.”
“Let me introduce myself first. I’m Zhang Baotian, Old Master Lu’s guard. The chief said that you have some fruits to sell and asked me to come over and help. Do you need me to do anything?”
“Hmm...”
Lin Yi thought for a moment. “I want to go to Wangfujing Street, but I don’t think I’m allowed to set up a stall there. Can you help me set up a stall?”
“That’s not a problem.” Zhang Baotian said.
“Let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll help you arrange it now. Drive to Wangfujing Street first. After the arrangements are made, 1’11 send you the location.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.”
“Not at all.”
After getting down to business, Lin Yi hung up.
Soon, the other party sent a friend request. After agreeing, he drove towards Wangfujing Street.
Just as he was about to arrive, he received a location on his phone. Lin Yi drove over according to the address and realized that it was the busiest part of Wangfujing Street.
On the side of the road was an army-green SUV. Next to it stood a person in casual clothes.
“Are you Zhang Baotian?” Lin Yi asked after getting out of the car.
“Yes!”
Zhang Baotian saluted. “I’ve asked around. This is the best spot on Wangfujing Street. There are plenty of people coming and going. You can’t go wrong setting up shop here.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Lin Yi turned around and packed a bag of fruits in the car. He took down a watermelon and handed it to Zhang Baotian.
“These are all grown without pesticides. Take them back and enjoy them.”
“Team Leader Lin, 1 can’t do that. I can’t take your goods.”
“It’s fine. Just eat it boldly. No one will come after you. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
Zhang Baotian smiled honestly and did not stand on ceremony with Lin Yi.
If he continued to argue, he would appear pretentious.
“Then I’ll be on my way. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
After exchanging a few more words with Lin Yi, Zhang Baotian got into the car and left.
However, he didn’t really go far. Instead, he drove the car into a side alley.
This was because the chief had already instructed that he might encounter problems at any time. Thus, he had to stay and help Lin Yi deal with them.
However, Lin Yi didn’t know about this.
After parking the car, Lin Yi unloaded the fruits from the car and officially opened for business.
Lin Yi’s appearance instantly caused a commotion on Wangfujing Street.
“Such a good-looking young man is selling fruits? Could this be a gimmick created by those internet celebrities to gain popularity?”
