Chapter 1219: Believable Even When Bragging

Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds before saying,

"Sort of, but I can"t tell you too much about this. You have to keep your mouth shut about what happened last night. If it"s exposed, it won"t do the Liang family any good. Remember that."

"Understood." Liang Jinming said, "But since you have such a special ident.i.ty, will I be able to act cool around Zhonghai in the future?"

"Pretty much. As long as you don"t kill anyone, we shouldn"t have any problems."

"Haha, I"m relieved to hear that."

Before parting, Lin Yi said a few more words about what happened last night before returning to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Knowing that Ji Qingyan had stayed at home last night, Lin Yi went to buy some breakfast for her before he left.

After returning to the Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi raised his head and saw that the curtains were still drawn in the bedroom. He then quietly entered the room.

Putting down his breakfast, Lin Yi quietly went up to the second floor and opened the door to Ji Qingyan"s room.

Ji Qingyan"s sleeping posture was as inelegant as ever.

Half of the blanket had fallen to the ground. In her arms was a Pikachu plushie which he had won at the event a few days ago. She looked cute and lazy.

Lin Yi"s eyes darted around as he gently opened the door and walked in. Then, he crawled into Ji Qingyan"s bed.

"Wu wu wu… Don"t touch me…"

In her sleep, Ji Qingyan mumbled in a daze and subconsciously pushed Lin Yi"s hand away.

"Huh? Ah!"

All of a sudden, Ji Qingyan let out a scream. Then, like a zombie, she sat up from the bed and kicked Lin Yi.

With disheveled hair, Ji Qingyan and Lin Yi stared at each other.

"I"m gonna kill you."

Ji Qingyan"s little fist landed on Lin Yi"s body.

"I thought some hooligans had come in. You gave me a fright."

"How is that possible? The door is unlocked via fingerprint. Other than the two of us, no one else can enter."

"Why didn"t you tell me when you came back? You almost scared me to death."

Ji Qingyan clutched her chest as she spoke with a trace of lingering fear.

Lin Yi stood up and stroked Ji Qingyan"s hair lovingly. "Get up quickly. I"ve already bought you breakfast."

"Uh-huh."

Now that Lin Yi was back, Ji Qingyan had no intention of sleeping anymore.

"Have you settled the matters in Sunrise Land? How"s Old Liang? Is everything alright?"

"Of course everything is fine. Why else would I have come back?"

"That"s good."

After learning that everything was settled, Ji Qingyan was relieved. She went to the bathroom to wash up and then went downstairs for breakfast with Lin Yi.

She did not ask further questions about Sunrise Land.

She didn"t think that things had become so dangerous.

Moreover, Lin Yi had returned safely. Therefore, she wasn"t in the mood to ask about anything else.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Ji Qingyan asked during dinner.

"I have to go back to Happiness Village. The fruits there are all ripe. I have to sell them quickly, or they will rot in the greenhouse."

"I still have something going on at the company, so I won"t be accompanying you. But bring some back for me tonight. I want to eat some."

"Alright, no problem."

"That"s good."

After dinner, Ji Qingyan went to Chaoyang Group while Lin Yi went to Happiness Village.

An hour later, when Lin Yi arrived at Happiness Village, he found that Yan Ci had already begun filming her show.

Hundreds of staff members were bustling about.

Yan Ci was also among them, coordinating the overall production of the show.

Lin Yi stood in the distance and watched for a while. He realized that recording a show was quite interesting.

If there was a mistake for a certain segment, there would be a reshoot. This would continue until they captured a natural vibe for the show.

Lin Yi greatly admired the actors.

Whether it was veteran actors or fresh meat, they could carry out their tasks without any distractions.

Even though there were dozens of cameras following them, they could completely block them off and did not react to them at all as they went about their own business.

Lin Yi had long admired them for being able to reach this state so naturally.

After watching for a few minutes, Lin Yi returned to the greenhouse. There were still many things he had to take care of, so he couldn"t waste time here.

When he returned to the greenhouse, Lin Yi saw that the remaining fruits were all ripe.

Apples, peaches, cherries…

All of them were red and tempting. They were even more appealing than the previous two batches.

Lin Yi calculated that he only needed to sell another 250,000 yuan or so to complete the mission.

Coupled with the fact that he had acc.u.mulated many repeat customers during his past two sales, it would be very easy for him complete the mission.

But other than that, Lin Yi remembered something else.

In addition to the fruits in front of him, the batch of seeds that Liang Ruoxu had given him also included ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms.

Moreover, their growth was very good.

Lin Yi slapped his forehead.

He regretted it.

If he had remembered these things, he could easily sell them for a million yuan.

Even though this was the case, = Lin Yi didn"t plan to sell them.

These were all cultivated from golden soil. Their medicinal value was definitely better than those sold outside.

Even wild lingzhi and ginseng were not as good as the ones grown in his field, so there was no way he would sell them.

Ring ring ring!

Just as Lin Yi was about to get to work, his phone rang in his pocket. It was a call from Liu Hong.

"Hey, what are you doing, kid? The mission is over, but I didn"t see you return."

"The fruits in my field had ripened. I headed home to harvest and sell them."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Hong didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. "I really admire you. You"ve made such a great contribution, but you didn"t come to receive your reward. Instead, you went to sell fruits. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

"Um…"

Lin Yi could only suffer in silence.

I"m in a tough spot. If I don"t complete the tasks, I"ll be in trouble.

However, he naturally could not say such things to Liu Hong.

"This is called spiritual freedom. Only when one"s thoughts reach a certain level can one be at peace with everything in the world." Lin Yi said seriously.

"Just like my abilities. It"s because I"ve understood the profundity of life that I could have my current achievements. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you have to sharpen your tools first. You can"t just pursue immediate benefits. You won"t go far with that approach."

On the other end of the line, Liu Hong fell silent.

"I think what you said makes sense. Looks like I should make everyone in the Central Guards Brigade start farming and experiencing nature."

Lin Yi, "..."

If a person was impressive, people would even believe him when he bragged.

"Stop, stop, stop. Let"s stop talking about such matters." Lin Yi asked.

"Why did you call me?"

"It"s about what happened in Toyo. I need you to come back and give a report on the details of the mission."

"What about Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che? You can just ask them. It"s redundant for me to go back."

"The two of them don"t know many of the details. Moreover, the Central Guards Brigade"s trial is about to begin. As the team leader, what will happen if you don"t come?" Liu Hong said.

"If there"s nothing else you need to do, come over quickly. This is important."
