“With his pretentious personality, any woman with a bit of sense wouldn’t fall for him.”
“Agreed +1”
Zhao Zhengyang stood up when he saw Lin Yi and Qin Han walking over.
“I’m sorry but you’re late.” Zhao Zhengyang shrugged.
“What happened? Did you ask Mayor Liang out?” Qin Han asked,
“No, I just got here first. There’s always a first come, first served rule, isn’t there?”
“At least you have some self-awareness. I thought you were going to be a lap dog and try chasing after her,” Qin Han said sarcastically.
“Why? Are you jealous?” Zhao Zhengyang smiled. “With our Zhao family’s size in Zhonghai and even Huaxia, can’t I go after her?”
“You’re so ugly, yet you still have the nerve to say that?”
“At our level, do you think dating is a game?” Zhao Zhengyang said, “It’s important to be of equal status.”
“Of equal status? What? Do you think our Qin family’s influence is just for show?”
“You’ll find out later whether it is just for show.”
Kacha.
Just as the two were arguing, the door to Room 408 was pushed open.
Liang Ruoxu, who was wearing a black uniform, walked out of the office and saw Lin Yi at first glance.
However, Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang’s presence surprised her slightly.
Why were there so many people here?
Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang were both impressed by Liang Ruoxu’s cold appearance.
Apart from Ji Qingyan, there wasn’t anyone else who could compete with her.
“Mayor Liang, I prepared this for you…”
“Um, can you give way? She’s here to see me.”
Zhao Zhengyang didn’t finish his sentence before Lin Yi walked over and grabbed her waist before walking away from them.
“F*ck!”
Qin Han was dumbfounded. What the f*ck was going on?
Zhao Zhengyang was also dumbfounded.
She was actually taken down?
When did this happen?
Seeing Lin Yi disappear from in front of him with Liang Ruoxu in his arms, Qin Han took his phone and left silently.
“Dad, the bid is over.”
“Over? It’s only a few hours and the bidding is already done?”
“No, it’s been internally decided.”
“Ridiculous, even our Qin family couldn’t secure the bid through private means. Who has the ability to do so? Liang Ruoxu is a by the books kind of person.”
“Lin Yi got Liang Ruoxu.”
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
“Your brother… He’s really something else.”
…
Liang Ruoxu panicked at first, not expecting Lin Yi to be so bold.
“What are you doing?!” Liang Ruoxu said coldly, trying to escape from Lin Yi’s grip.
“Just cooperate,” Lin Yi said with a smile. “That sand sculpture outside was chasing after you with some roses. I had to make him back off.”
“Do you think I need your help with something like this?” Liang Ruoxu was obviously ungrateful.
“Of course, there are thousands of sand sculptures like him. You can’t handle them alone.”
“But we’re already at the staircase. Why are you still hugging me?”
“Eh, it’s my occupational disease,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Tell me, why are you looking for me? Do you want a project to be approved or do you want to get a loan?”
“I have enough money, and I’m not looking to get anything approved,” Lin Yi said.
“I’m here to bid. Please give Chaoyang Group the project through the backdoor. I’m sure there’ll be no problems in terms of our qualifications and reputation, so I’ll definitely be able to complete the task quickly and efficiently. However, can you help me with the bidding?”
“Do you think I’m a money-grubber? Or do you think that with our relationship, I’ll be able to use my official position for personal gain?”
“That’s the rules of the game here in Huaxia,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“You’re the youngest person I’ve ever met in this position, and everyone knows how this works. I’m sure that you’re here to gild your reputation, but you’re still just a deputy. Give me some time, and I’ll let you get promoted in two years.”
Lin Yi’s courage and sharp insight reminded Liang Ruoxu how terrifying the inner workings of the human mind could be.
Even though Liang Ruoxu was adamant in claiming that she would never commit jobbery, but perhaps her reaching her current position was the biggest act of jobbery.
“Is that all? Do you have anything else to tell me?” Liang Ruoxu asked with a stern expression.
“Uh…” Lin Yi paused for a second, pretending to be deep in thought. “Your waist’s pretty soft, so there should be a lot of meat there.”
Lin Yi left quickly as he spoke, or else he’d be hacked to death.
Meanwhile, Liang Ruoxu stood rooted in place, thinking about something.
‘Is there a lot of meat?’
…
Lin Yi returned to the small meeting room after talking to Liang Ruoxu and found Qin Han and Zhao Zhengyang there.
Qin Han didn’t really care. It didn’t matter if he missed out on this opportunity, and it wouldn’t greatly affect the Qin family’s business.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhengyang’s face didn’t look too good. There was even a hint of green on it.
“Mr. Lin, you’re really something. You actually hooked up with Mayor Liang. I feel bad for President Ji.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“I saw it with my own eyes. Are you trying to deny it? Are you afraid that President Ji will find out that you’re two-timing?”
Ji Qingyan didn’t understand what was going on. What was Lin Yi doing?
“President Ji, I just saw Lin Yi and Mayor Liang leave with their arms around each other’s shoulders. It looks like you weren’t aware.” Zhao Zhengyang gloated.
“President Zhao, it’s meaningless for you to say such things.”J i Qingyan said with a cold face.
“Lin Yi doesn’t even know who Mayor Liang is, yet you’re saying such slander. It’s ridiculous.”
Qin Han couldn’t help but give Lin Yi a thumbs up. Old Lin was so awesome!
He didn’t even need to explain himself. President Ji didn’t believe Zhao Zhengyang at all.
He was looking for a woman like this too!
Lin Yi shrugged at Qin Han, acting very pretentiously.
“President Ji, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, do you think I would say something like this? Don’t you trust mycharacter?”
“I don’t.”
From Ji Qingyan’s point of view, Zhao Zhengyang’s words were pure slander!
How could two people who didn’t know each other get together?
Even he they wanted to tarnish Lin Yi’s reputation, he had to come up with a better lie.
His methods were too low.
“Alright, don’t bother with him anymore. A mad dog like him will bite anyone he sees. Let’s just do our own thing,” Lin Yi comforted.
“I hate people like him the most.”
“I can’t help it. I’m too outstanding, so it’s normal for people to be jealous of me.”
“Haha, Mr. Lin is indeed outstanding. He’s so outstanding that he even dares to touch my men. The younger generation is really awesome.”
Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan, and Qin Han turned back when they heard the sudden voice.
They were surprised to see a middle-aged man wearing a linen shirt coming in from outside.
“Wang Mazi, you are here too!”
