“I’m just giving you an example. Don’t take it seriously.”
Shao Bin chuckled. His sense of superiority was written all over his face.
“I think it’s okay,” Huang Lili said.
“Class Monitor, you cook so well. When you save enough money, you can open your own shop. It should be enough for you to be self-sufficient.”
Until now, they didn’t seem to realize that this shop was run by Lin Yi. They thought that he was working here.
“Do you think that running a business is as easy as you think?” Shao Bin said.
“A place like Zhonghai has a lot of competition. If you’re not careful, you’ll lose everything. If you don’t have the talent to do business, it’s better to just work steadily.”
“I don’t think so. When we were in school, our class monitor was smart. If he starts a business, I don’t think he will fail. It’s fine for him to suffer now for the sake of his future harvest.
“Class Monitor, remember to let me know when you open your own shop. I’ll invest in you.”
Ji Qingyan, who was looking at her makeup, raised her head and glanced at her.
After looking around and realizing that she was no threat to her, she retracted her gaze and continued to look at the cosmetics on her phone.
“There’s no need to invest. I’m just playing around. I might quit at any time.”
“Quit?” Shao Bin asked.
“Class Monitor, it’s not good to keep bouncing around jobs. It’ll be difficult to achieve great things like this.”
Lin Yi smiled. “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“Class Monitor, we’re already graduating. Don’t continue to flex our old classroom dynamic.” Shao Bin said.
“When I was in school, you were indeed stronger than me, but I got into a graduate school. In the future, I’ll be going to high-class places, while you’re just a chef. Won’t the difference in our status be obvious then? I’m being reasonable with you now. Am I not qualified to say this?”
Lin Yi smiled and patted Shao Bin’s shoulder.
“Brother, I understand how you feel. You got into graduate school while I became a chef. My social status is inferior to yours, so you think you’re better than others, but this is not how you should act. Although I’ve been in society for a few more years, you don’t have to act tough with me.”
Shao Bin’s face turned red and his expression was ugly.
At this moment, he felt like he was being crushed.
The most infuriating thing was that the other party was nothing. He was miles away from him, but he was acting like he actually inferior to him!
Tian Yan secretly shook her head and thought to herself,
‘Not everyone has this kind of aura. Even if President Lin loses everything one day, others will still respect him.’
“Alright, alright. We’re almost done eating. Let’s call it a day.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Huang Lili stepped forward to smooth things over.
“Class Monitor, how much is the total? I’ll scan your QR code.”
It was obvious that she was not short of money.
“No need, we’re classmates, so let me treat you,” Lin Yi said magnanimously.
“Heh, let’s not. Your shop isn’t cheap. The five of us are worth at least a thousand yuan. If you get scolded by the boss because of this, we won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
Shao Bin took out his phone indignantly. “Let’s settle the score and get ready to scan the QR code.”
“Alright, I won’t stop you if you’re willing to pay.”
“A total of 1280 yuan.” He Yuanyuan said.
Shao Bin didn’t hesitate. He took out his phone to pay, trying to suppress Lin Yi’s aura.
He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan took the plates to the kitchen and brushed them briefly. The day’s work was officially over.
“Class Monitor, we graduated so long ago. Shao Bin suggested that we organize a class reunion before we happened to meet you. You have to join us. We can have a good gathering.”
Before leaving, Huang Lili said.
“Our classmates are everywhere. They definitely won’t be able to gather properly. I won’t join this time.”
“If you don’t go, what’s the point or the gathering? It won’t be fun without you.”
“We’ll see,” Lin Yi replied casually, but he didn’t take it too seriously.
“Lili, don’t force him,” Shao Bin said. “The class monitor isn’t doing well now. It’s normal for him to be embarrassed to go.”
Looking at Lin Yi’s attire, she sighed.
The class monitor, who used to be all-powerful, was now in this state. She did not feel good either.
“Lili, stop talking. The class monitor and the others are about to get off work. Let’s head off first,” Song Kexin said.
“Kexin, don’t you want to say something to the class monitor?” Huang Lili said. “Didn’t you always have a crush on the class monitor in university?”
“Aiya, it’s been so long since we graduated. Why are you still talking about this?” Song Kexin said.
“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t say anymore.”
“Class Monitor, are you off work? I just bought a car recently. Do you need me to drive you?”
“Okay, I’ll come back to support you in the future.”
“Okay.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, He Yuanyuan followed Tian Yan out of the kitchen and prepared to close the shop.
The group walked out of the store. Lin Yi was in charge of closing the shutters and locking the door.
“Yuanyuan, where are you going?”
Because the two of them came together, they had both sat in Tian Yan’s car.
“It’s still early, so I have to go back to the company. There’s a lot of work waiting for me.”
“I’m not going home either. Let’s go to the office together.”
Tian Yan said goodbye to Lin Yi.
“President Lin, President Ji, we’ll be leaving first.”
Shao Bin and the others, who had just walked out, turned around when they heard Tian Yan address Lin Yi.
They were both surprised and confused.
Why did she call him President Lin?
Wasn’t he just a chef?
“You need properly juggle your work. Don’t sacrifice your health for work’s sake.” Ji Qingyan smiled.
“Lingyun Group can’t do without you.”
Ji Qingyan played her role as the lady boss to the fullest. She went over to comfort Lin Yi after he squeezed her dry.
With this, they found some balance.
“Monitor? Are they all your subordinates?” Lili asked.
“Yeah.” Lin Yi nodded. “One is the vice president in charge of finance, one is the vice president in charge of investment, and the last one is the lady boss.”
“Are… Are you serious…”
“What’s there to lie about?” Lin Yi chuckled.
“When you guys get your doctorates, come to my company and apply. I’ll get the Human Resources Department to wave you through.”
Shao Bin and the others were shocked. “Doctorates?”
“There are three of them here. Two of them have PhDs from Yan University and one of them from Fudan University. Their postgraduate degrees are not enough in our company, so they still have to work hard.”
“Class Monitor, if only a PhD graduate can only work at your place, you must be doing so well now,” Huang Lili said.
“I was just lucky. I started a company and made some money. It’s not a big deal. I have other things to do, so I won’t talk to you guys.”
“Monitor, wait.”
Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, Song Kexin said from behind,
“Are you sure you’re not going to attend the class reunion in a few days?”
“It’s hard to say. We’ll see.”
Lin Yi responded casually and turned to leave.
He Yuanyuan got into Tian Yan’s Panamera, Ji Qingyan got into her Maserati, and Lin Yi got into his Koenigsegg RS.
Shao Bin and the others stood in a mess.
“The class monitor actually drives Koenigsegg RS?!” Zhou Hao exclaimed.
“It’s not cheap.”
“Doctors from famous schools can only work under the class monitor. They must have made a lot of money. It’s natural for them to drive supercars,” Huang Lili said.
Huang Lili didn’t think much of it, but Shao Bin and the others were devastated.
He woke up early and studied until late at night. In the end, he was admitted to the Zhonghai Institute of Technology’s graduate school.
He thought that she could stand out and act superior to his classmates.
However, he had never thought that he did not even have the right to work for the latter.
“I don’t think the class monitor will be attending the class reunion in a few days,” Song Kexin said.
“Of course not. We’re not on the same level as him, so it’s naturally impossible for us to eat together.”
“But this is also good. After graduating from graduate school, I can cozy up to the class monitor. No matter what, he can arrange a job for me.”
“I think so too. When the time comes, the two of us will go together,” Song Kexin said.
“Kexin, didn’t you promise to go to Yanjing with me after graduation? Why are you backing out now?” Shao Bin said.
“I feel that the pressure in Yanjing is too great. It’s not suitable for me. It’s better to just stay in Zhonghai.”
