“Now that you explain it, I understand. The others don’t live stream because they’re not rich enough.”
“That’s exactly what I mean.”
Zhang Xiaoyu chuckled. “Brother Lin, I won’t disturb you since your house is here. I’ll get going first. If there’s anything, let’s contact each other on WeChat.”
“Let’s go. I’ll drive you.”
“No need, no need.” Zhang Xiaoyu said, “I left my best friend behind today. I’ll go and have a meal with her later to comfort her broken heart.”
“Alright then.”
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi returned to Villa Number One.
He looked at the time and realized that it was almost four o’clock. Other than that, there was an unread message from Liang Ruoxu.
Opening WeChat, Lin Yi started a video call with Liang Ruoxu.
After a few rings, Liang Ruoxu picked it up.
“What’s the matter, Beauty Liang?”
It was during working hours, so Liang Ruoxu was dressed in a gray uniform.
Her hair was tied up, and her makeup was slightly old-fashioned. She looked very mature.
“You’re at home?” Liang Ruoxu asked after seeing the background behind Lin Yi.
“Yeah.”
“What’s wrong with your restaurant? Did it close?”
“Yes, I quit.”
Liang Ruoxu was silent for a few seconds. Lin Yi probably had his reasons for doing this.
After what happened, he probably didn’t have the mood to continue.
“Then what are you busy with now? Are you going back to work at Lingyun Group?”
“What are you talking about? Didn’t I say before that I’ll never return to the company for the rest of my life?”
Liang Ruoxu smiled. “Then can you tell me what you’ve been busy with recently?”
“Live streaming.”
“Ah? Live streaming?” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Do you have nothing better to do? There are so many things going on with Longxin, but you actually have the mood to do live streams. I really admire you. Can you focus on something serious?”
Lin Yi, “You don’t understand my good intentions at all.”
Liang Ruoxa, “How would I know if you don’t tell me?
Lin Yi, “I wouldn’t have to say it at all if you really understood me.”
Liang Ruoxu, “Don’t you think I’ll understand you best if you just tell me?”
Lin Yi, “What’s the point of saying it? You should understand even if I don’t say it.”
Liang Ruoxu: “I’m not a fortune-teller, I know what you are planning.”
Lin Yi, “I’m not planning anything.”
“Lin Yi, do you believe that I can seal Huaqing Lake forever if I give the order?”
“Calm down, you might bring forward your menopause.” Lin Yi laughed. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing serious. Brandon’s case has been settled. He’s being tried in Huaxia. I’ve already been informed by the relevant departments, and he’ll be given the death sentence.”
“Alright,” Lin Yi said quietly, “Did you run into any trouble?”
“Actually, I didn’t play much of a role here. Zhao Wen helped with most of it.”
“Zhao Wen?”
Liang Ruoxu nodded. “The research and development center project has been ongoing for a month. The work was all completed on the eve. It will be officially established in a few days.”
“We have a ready-made place here. The only things that need to be moved are the outer walls and the interior renovations.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“I wanted to implement this project first before asking the government for money to kickstart a bigger project. Therefore, I’ve been in contact with Zhao Wen more recently. She accidentally found out about this matter and secretly helped out. Consider it a favor.”
“Zhao Wen is really smart. She did everything flawlessly.”
“She’s indeed very impressive. Your Lingyun Group can’t find many like her.”
“You’re wrong. Our Old Qi is also very impressive,” Lin Yi said. “Zhao Wen might not be his match.”
“I know Qi Xianzhao. He’s the kind of person who’s actually smart but merely seems stupid. He’s not bad at all.” Liang Ruoxu swept her hair to the side and said.
“There’s something else I want to ask you. The research and development center is almost done with its preparations. It’s going to be listed soon. When Uncle Chen comes over, will you drop by?”
“Do you need me?”
“No, it’s just the formal matters,” Liang Ruoxu said. “If you come, it’ll enhance your image.”
“My image is positive enough. I don’t need all this hypocrisy.”
“If this was the opening ceremony of Huaqing Lake, you’d go, right?”
“The situation would be different.” Lin Yi said, “I’m an honorary member of that club. I would have to go.”
“I really don’t know what to do with you.” Liang Ruoxu combed her hair. “Alright, I’m getting off work. I’m not going to bother talking to you anymore. Bye.”
Lin Yi got up and stretched lazily. He looked at the time and realized that it was already 4:30 pm. It was time for Ji Qingyan to get off work.
Lin Yi took the car keys and sat in the driver’s seat.
The interior of the car followed a new design language.
There were many differences from the other Bugatti models, but there were also certain details that adhered to the original design philosophy. If one did not pay attention, it would be difficult to notice.
After stepping on the accelerator, the La Voiture Noire, like a pitch-black beast, let out a roar that resounded throughout Jiuzhou Pavilion.
For most men, it was a pleasure to hear such a noise.
He started the car and drove to Chaoyang Group.
However, he did not call her in advance. It had been a long time since he had last picked her up from work, so he quietly went over to give her a surprise.
Apart from that, Lin Yi also brought along the live stream outfit to maximize the sense of mystery.
This would make things more interesting.
When Lin Yi drove to the parking lot, he happened to see Ji Qingyan walking out of the elevator with her handbag and high heels.
During this time, Ji Qingyan did not notice that there was a black behemoth in the parking lot. She took out her phone from her bag.
Ring!
Lin Yi’s phone rang.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m at home.”
“I’m off work. Is there anything you want to eat? I learned a few dishes and am prepared to show them to you.”
“Don’t cook today. You’re so busy with work. Let’s go out and eat.”
“That’s fine. I want to eat out as well.”
“Think about where you want to go. I’ll see you at the restaurant.”
“Do you know where I’m planning to eat? Is that all I have to say?” Ji Qingyan smiled.
“Of course, science shows that when two people are together for a long time, they will have a telepathic bond. No matter where you go, I will be able to sense it. I can follow the magnetic field and radio waves between the two of us to be able to find you.”
Ji Qingyan covered her mouth and chuckled. “You’re just spouting nonsense. Why don’t I sense the magnetic field between the two of us?”
“That means you don’t feel the same toward me. Not as strongly as I do.”
“Nonsense again.”
“When I get there, if you don’t appear in front of me within ten minutes, it’ll be considered your loss. Be a gentleman in the future and don’t tease me for no reason.”
