YM778.TV Chapter 597 - 597 I Used to Be a Hot-Blooded Young Man
When this number was announced, everyone present was stunned.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
A person who couldn’t even afford 20 yuan worth of earrings actually said that he had more than 4 million yuan in his WeChat?
Although it was dark, you couldn’t dream out loud in public.
As soon as these words were spoken, the girls who were charmed by Lin Yi’s looks revealed disdainful gazes.
Why was this person like this?
It was not bad to not have money. He just had to work hard to earn in the future. This was not something to be embarrassed about. Why did he need to try to brag now?
He was not embarrassed, but the onlookers were.
“Bro, there’s no point in saying that.” Hu Haiyang said.
“Do you think four million is a small sum? Our family’s annual income is only more than a million. To be honest, even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t dare to brag like this. I feel embarrassed just thinking about it.”
“You’re embarrassed because you’re poor. I’m not embarrassed because I really do have four million.”
Lin Yi took out his phone and showed Hu Haiyang the balance of his wallet. Hu Haiyang’s legs went weak and he broke out in cold sweat.
“You, you really have 4 million…”
The surrounding students gasped.
They had never seen so much money in their lives.
Moreover, the four million yuan was probably pocket money for this man.
Was the difference between people really that great?
“Why would I lie to you?” Lin Yi said.
“We just came out to experience the life of an ordinary person. I didn’t expect you fools to take us seriously. What is your IQ? Seriously.”
With that, Lin Yi wrapped his arm around Ji Qingyan’s waist and left under everyone’s gaze.
Their eyes were filled with envy.
Indeed, beauties would not be with ordinary people. They had long been reserved by rich people.
She was just tired of living the life of a rich person and wanted to experience life, but they actually took her seriously.
What a sin!
The two of them slowly walked in the direction of the street entrance.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to experience the life of an ordinary person? Why did you expose your identity?” Lin Yi asked with a smile.
“That person was too annoying. I already clarified the situation many times, but he was still relentlessly pursuing me. I was so annoyed,” Ji Qingyan said disdainfully.
“But this is the world of ordinary people,” Lin Yi said.
“On TikTok, it’s all visual diarrhea. Their life is quiet and good, and they earn anywhere from 985 yuan a month to a million a year. However, the world of ordinary people is also filled with trivialities and gossip.
“In truth, poverty is a terrible thing. It can break a man’s will, and it can break a woman’s last line of defense. It happens every day in this brightly lit world. It’s very common. You just don’t know about it.”
Ji Qingyan held Lin Yi’s arm, not knowing how to answer.
In terms of life experience, she was really inferior to Lin Yi.
He was someone who had fought his way up from the bottom of society. He knew the world better than she did.
While he fought hard, he was also filled with reverence for this world.
However, she would probably never be able to experience these things in her entire life.
Life was more complex than she had imagined.
“Then let’s continue working hard. We don’t want to change this world, but we don’t want to be changed by this world either.”
“That’s so good. I can’t help but want to kiss you.”
“You just want to be a hooligan. That’s why I won’t let you kiss me.”
Ji Qingyan ran up to Lin Yi with a smile on her face. Lin Yi followed behind her like a university couple about to rent a room.
After they reached the entrance of the street, the two of them drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Ji Qingyan immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower. At the same time, she pushed Lin Yi into the other bathroom to wash up.
Later that night, when Ji Qingyan came to the study after showering and drying her hair, she saw that Lin Yi was already working in front of the computer.
“There’s something I forgot to tell you. When we were in a meeting today, Yuanyuan said that she had something to report to you. Are you going to the office or should I get them to look for you?”
“What is it exactly?”
“It should be about the investment and Longxin’s launch.” Ji Qingyan placed the ginseng tea on Lin Yi’s table. “Director Tian might attend too.”
Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds.
“Ask them to go to the shop. Don’t delay my business.”
“Then I’ll tell Yuanyuan later.”
“Okay.”
The next morning, the two of them drove off to do their own things.
As Lin Yi was preparing the ingredients, he received a call from Ji Qingyan.
He told Lin Yi that Yuanyuan and the others would go over at noon.
After getting the news, Lin Yi called Lu Ying.
“Later, make some arrangements. I have something to discuss with you and Sun Fuyu. Oh right, call Wang Ran too.”
“Got it, Boss. Where are we going to talk? Are we going to Huaqing Lake again?”
“To hell with Huaqing Lake. They’ve already closed down,” Lin Yi said.
“Go to 89 Zhengyang Street. I have a shop here.”
“Got it, Boss. Do you have any requirements when it comes to my dressing? How about a short black silk dress?”
“Uh, just dress plainly this time.”
“Boss, you’ve changed. You’re not the same as before.”
“It’s mainly because there’s a situation today. But don’t worry, there will be plenty room for you to perform in the future.”
“We’ll be there on time.”
“Okay.”
After arranging the details, Lin Yi began to prepare the goods.
The morning was as quiet as ever.
Such was business near the university town.
Business mainly concentrated on lunch and dinner time.
Only couples who went to book a room at night would occasionally patronize the morning business.
Before noon, Lu Ying, Sun Fuyu and Wang Ran arrived at the shop.
Lu Ying was still as slim as ever. Because Lin Yi didn’t have any special requirements, she simply wore her usual outfit.
After not seeing him for a long time, Sun Fuyu seemed to have gained a lot of weight. His face was red, and he looked like he was perpetually out of breath.
However, the one who changed the most was Wang Ran.
After experiencing her baptism in Sci-Tech and Longxin Research Institute, she was no longer as inexperienced as a university student.
He had the aura of a high-level white-collar worker. Every move she made carried a distinct aura.
This was also what Lin Yi wanted. After a while, she would probably be able to stand up and take charge herself.
“Director Lin, what’s going on recently? Huaqing Lake has been under lockdown for more than a month. What happened? Did they offend someone?” Sun Fuyu asked.
“No matter what, we’re still scientists. Why the f*ck are you bringing this up the second you arrived? Aren’t you disgracing your alma matter?”
“Sigh, in truth, I used to be a hot-blooded youth with ambitions everywhere. But one day, after working hard to finish my doctoral thesis overnight, I was about to go out for breakfast. That’s when I suddenly saw our principal walking out of the bathing house. From that moment on, the trajectory of my life changed.”
‘Um…’
“I guess even your principal doesn’t know that his unintentional action changed a student’s life.”
“C’est la vie. Researchers are also humans.”
“When I find the time, I’ll call Mayor Liang. She’s the one who sealed Huaqing Lake.”
“President Lin is awesome.” Sun Fuyu said.
“Now, those foreigners in our institute have fallen in love with the feeling of a Huaxian massage. Those who said that they would return to the country in the future now have plans to settle down here.”
“F*ck, awesome. I have to remember this. You’ve done a great job.”
Sun Fuyu smiled coyly. “Director Lin, if you really want to reward me, can you get me an imperial package? My wife investigates me closely. It’ll be easy for her to notice where my money is going.”
“The imperial package doesn’t cost much. Don’t fuss over such a small deal. When you have time, I’ll get Wang Ran to get you another salary card. When the time comes, your employee health fund budget will be transferred to this card. Don’t let your wife know.”
“I’m willing to work under President Lin even if I end up dying of exhaustion in the process.”
“Little Ran, look, this is your role model, Teacher Lin,” Lu Ying complained.
“It’s… it’s alright. Teacher is so powerful, and the pressure on him is also huge. It’s understandable for him to go to that kind of place to relax.”
“Look at what you’re saying. You’re really the teacher’s pet. By the end of the year, you’ll definitely be ranked amongst the company’s top ten outstanding employees.”
