“President Lin, are you sure you want to take on this project?”
Liu Wenchang probed.
“I’ve already agreed over the phone. Of course I have to do it.”
“Then it won’t be easy. I reckon Fifth Master will catch wind of this soon.” Liu Wenchang said.
!!
“He might come to question me tonight.”
“Question you?”
“Today is his sixtieth birthday. He’s invited a lot of people. I was invited too. If he finds out about this, he’ll definitely talk to me about it tonight, so I won’t be going.”
“Why not?” Lin Yi said.
“If you don’t go today, he’ll still come looking for you in the future. An old hooligan like him is like a plaster. If you don’t just rip it off, it will lead to a lot of trouble later on.”
The executives in the conference room were secretly shocked.
As expected of the man who had conquered President Ji. His temper was really explosive.
“It’s mainly because I’m worried that something like this happened that I don’t dare to go,” Liu Wenchang said with a long face.
“It’s fine, I’ll go with you tonight,” Lin Yi said.
“Shouldn’t we call more people?”
“There’s no need.” Lin Yi said.
“If something really happens, you can hold them off for a while. I’ll go out and call for reinforcements.”
“President Lin, please give me a way out,” Liu Wenchang said without tears.
“It’s okay. No matter what obstacles we face, we will still remain friends.”
Lin Yi’s words made everyone in the meeting room laugh. The atmosphere was no longer as oppressive as before.
“Alright, that’s all for today’s meeting.” Ji Qingyan closed the document in her hand.
“President Liu, go and prepare our company’s certifications and past project portfolio. Pick the ones worth than a billion yuan. Let’s go over and meet Secretary Wu to talk about this in detail.”
“Got it, President Ji. I’ll go now.”
About half an hour later, the three of them went to see Wu Zhaoyou with the relevant qualifications.
Knowing that Lin Yi was here, the other party was quite enthusiastic. He set aside all his work and came out to receive Lin Yi. He even arranged for a meal in the afternoon.
However, in the end, it was Ji Qingyan who paid for it. The tacit ceremonies were done beautifully.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, the four of them came out of the restaurant.
Wu Zhaoyou wanted to arrange for the next session, but Lin Yi found an excuse to reject him.
When it came to social events like this, if you didn’t tell them to stop, they would continue until dawn.
Coupled with the fact that he really had something on tonight, Lin Yi rejected Wu Zhaoyou’s good intentions.
“When does the birthday banquet start tonight?”
Lin Yi asked after parting ways with Wu Zhaoyou.
Liu Wenchang looked at his watch. “It starts at six in the evening. It’s almost five now. Let’s go over now. The timing is just right.”
“Alright, let’s go to the next stage.”
“Why don’t I go with you?” Ji Qingyan suggested.
“No need, you won’t be able to help even if you go.” Lin Yi said.
“It’s just in time for you to go back and look at the security cameras. See if you can find the people who did it.”
“Are you sure you won’t need me?” Ji Qingyan asked again, still worried.
Lin Yi gently leaned against Ji Qingyan’s ear, blowing some warm air against her.
“I need you, but this is not the time.”
Ji Qingyan’s heart raced at Lin Yi’s teasing, and she quietly pinched him.
“Let’s go. It starts at six anyway. I’ll drop you off first, then the two of us will head off.”
“Yeah.”
The three of them got into the car. Liu Wenchang drove his Mercedes-Benz S-Class to send Ji Qingyan to the orphanage before leaving with Lin Yi.
“President Lin, don’t you need to prepare a suit?”
“A suit? I’m not married. Why would I wear a suit?”
“Today is Fifth Master’s sixtieth birthday, and the attendees are all wearing formal attire. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to wear casual clothes.”
“If he didn’t act tough today, I would still let him celebrate his birthday. But since he wanted to act tough, I’ll let him enjoy his funeral tonight.”
Liu Wenchang trembled in fear.
Boss Lin was indeed awesome!
…
At the same time, Ji Qingyan returned to the orphanage with her bag.
“Daughter-in-law, why did you come back alone? Where’s my son?” Wang Cuiping put down the work in her hands and asked.
“He had a social engagement tonight. I didn’t go with him, so he dropped me off and left.”
“It’s good that you’re not going. It’s meaningless to be in such a foul atmosphere. You might as well chat with me here.”
...
“Mm-hmm.” She put down her bag. “Let me help you.”
“No, no, no. I can’t bear to let you do this with your fair hands.” Wang Cuiping stopped him.
“By the way, Ningyue is here. She’s waiting for you in the room. Go look for her. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat.”
“In that case, I’ll go first.”
“Go on, go on.”
Leaving the kitchen, Ji Qingyan made her way to Wang Cuiping’s office.
The sofa here could extend into a foldable bed.
When there were no outsiders, Lin Yi and Guo Ningyue liked to stay up there.
“Sister-in-law, you’re back. Where’s my brother?” Guo Ningyue asked.
“He had a social engagement tonight, so he didn’t come back with me.”
“That’s good. I didn’t want him to delay our conversation.”
...
Ji Qingyan smiled. “If your brother heard this, he’d probably teach you a lesson again.”
“I’m not afraid of him.”
“By the way, I have something to ask you.” Ji Qingyan combed her hair and said.
“Do you know where the surveillance cameras at the orphanage are?”
“I know. It’s in my mother’s room,” Guo Ningyue said.
“But the orphanage doesn’t usually have much happening. She doesn’t even turn on her computer. I don’t know if it even works.”
“I want to check the surveillance video, but I don’t want Mother Wang to know about this. What do you think we should do?”
“Isn’t that simple? Can’t we just go over now?”
“Huh?! Can we go in without Mother Wang’s permission?”
“Sister-in-law, only rich families have such strict customs,” Guo Ningyue said.
“We’re just ordinary people. We don’t have so many rules. We can just go directly in. My mother won’t care. Let’s go.”
Guo Ningyue got out of bed and dragged Ji Qingyan toward Wang Cuiping’s bedroom.
Ji Qingyan felt a little guilty. How awkward would it be if she was discovered?
Guo Ningyue walked in front and opened the door to enter the room. Ji Qingyan followed behind her like a thief and quietly entered the room.
“Eh, it’s really strange today. My mother actually turned on the surveillance cameras. I remember that there were a few faulty ones. Why are they all working now?”
“They should be new cameras,” said Ji Qingyan.
“It’s possible,” Guo Ningyue said.
“My brother gave the orphanage so much money, so my mother changed the equipment and the surveillance video became much clearer. Not bad, not bad.”
“That’s good.” Ji Qingyan replied nervously.
“Help me find the footage from last Saturday.”
“Sure thing.”
Guo Ningyue operated the computer and started looking for a copy of the video.
“Eh? Why are there only recordings after last Sunday?”
