Chapter 279: Decide Who to Lend the Money to

Pfft!

Chen Yongxin and w.a.n.g Tong nearly vomited blood when they heard Lin Yi’s words.

“Your company is the Lingyun Group in Century Avenue?!”

“Yeah, that Lingyun Group.” Lin Yi sighed and said.

“To be honest, because the company is too small, we only do small projects worth a few billion. They are so busy every day but they end up not even making much money. It’s making my hair turn white.”

Lin Yi’s words shocked everyone in the room.

A project worth a few billion was still considered small?

In your eyes, what kind of big project was considered big?

“Yongxin, this Lingyun group seems to be quite big. Why haven’t I heard of it before?” w.a.n.g Fang asked.

Because of their age, w.a.n.g Fang and the others didn’t know much about Lingyun Group.

“You might have never heard of Lingyun Group, but I’m sure you’ve heard of the Twin Towers.”

“I know about that. When it was built, it was even shown on television. It’s said to be the tallest building in China.”

“Yes, that’s the Twin Towers, a new landmark in Zhonghai city. The two buildings cost more than 14 billion dollars.”

“What’s the relationship between the Twin Towers and Lingyun Group?”

“I heard from my good brother that the Twin Towers were bought by a mysterious rich man not long after they were built. In the end, it was turned into the headquarters of Lingyun Group!”

Hiss…

Hearing Chen Yongxin’s explanation, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.

The cost of the Twin Towers was more than 14 billion dollars. If it was sold off, wouldn’t the price tag be even higher?

Moreover, when it came to a building like this, there shouldn’t be any loans one could take to fund it, right?

At that moment, everyone in the room turned their attention to Lin Yi.

It was as if he wasn’t just a person anymore, and he was now a golden man covered in cash.

Furthermore, he even seemed to be shining.

With his current wealth, he didn’t even need to take care of them himself. Even if the little bit of money that leaked out from his fingers would be enough for them to spend for the rest of their lives.

“I really didn’t expect you to know so much about my company. That’s really good.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Can you get your good big brother to set me up with a few projects worth more than five billion? It’s no problem even if it’s worth ten billion. Our company can handle it. Thank you in advance.”

“Teacher, Teacher Lin, you’re such a joker. No matter how good my good big brother is, he can’t bag such a big project.” Chen Yongxin said awkwardly.

“Uh… so you were just bragging.”

This time, Chen Yongxin didn’t refute or get angry. His eyes were filled with flattery.

w.a.n.g Tong was the same. She had still been angry because Lin Yi humiliated her.

Now, she wasn’t angry at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were so many people here, she would have said it out loud.

Humiliate me as much as you want.

“Teacher Lin, my third aunt just finished her surgery and she still needs to rest. Why don’t we talk outside?” Chen Yongxin asked tentatively.

“That’s fine too. All of us can go out. Don’t disturb the patient’s rest.”

The group of people walked out and stood in the corridor.

Chen Yongxin hurriedly took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.

“Teacher Lin, have a cigarette.”

“No, I’ve long given up.”

Chen Yongxin smiled awkwardly. “Teacher Lin, Little Ran is really honored to have such a good teacher like you. It’s also our honor to be able to meet a friend like you.”

“Then why do I feel that this is a burden for me?”

“Teacher Lin, isn’t it hurtful for you to say that?” w.a.n.g Fang said with a smile. She was not angry at all.

“Teacher Lin, don’t worry. We will definitely supervise Little Ran in the future. If she doesn’t listen, you can tell us,” w.a.n.g Ran’s third uncle, Lin Dashan, said.

“Little Ran will be yours in the future. Our big family will depend on you to take care of her.”

“Aiya, speaking of taking care of her, I really have something I want to ask Little Ran for help with,” Lin Dahai sighed.

“You want me to help? With what?” w.a.n.g Ran asked curiously.

“Let’s not talk about it just now. Your cousin got into the civil service,” Lin Dahai said.

“She came in second in the written examination. She will have an interview in a few days, but if I don’t give the interviewer a gift, she will definitely not pa.s.s the interview. Can you think of a way to help Uncle?”

“How can I help? I don’t have any money either.”

“This…”

w.a.n.g Dahai’s expression was a little hesitant. “After your mother’s surgery, there will still be more than 200,000 dollars left, right? Can you give your second uncle a bit of emergency funding?”

w.a.n.g Ran was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect them to try to make a play for the money.

“Second Brother, what are you talking about!” w.a.n.g Fang said.

“Our family’s Yongxin just bought a house. We are still short of 200,000 dollars for the renovation. Don’t get any funny ideas.”

“What do you mean by me getting funny ideas?” Lin Dahai was unwilling to listen. “That is money to save my family. If she doesn’t pa.s.s the interview, it will delay Tongtong’s whole life!”

“My father is right. As long as I give the interviewer some gifts, I will definitely pa.s.s the interview!” w.a.n.g Tong said.

“Is your family’s life so important that mine can be ignored?” w.a.n.g Fang theorized.

“The woman has already said that she will get married when the renovation is complete. If she doesn’t get married because of this 200,000 dollars, will you be able to compensate us?”

“If you don’t have money, don’t get married. This is the first time I’ve heard of borrowing money to get married.” w.a.n.g Dahai’s voice rose, unwilling to be outdone.

“Uncle, watch your att.i.tude,” Chen Yongxin said.

“What att.i.tude!” w.a.n.g Tong said, “There’s nothing wrong with what my dad said!”

“Alright, alright, stop arguing. This is a hospital!”

w.a.n.g Ran couldn’t stand it anymore. They were arguing over money. Why were all the relatives like this?

w.a.n.g Ran lost her temper, and the w.a.n.g family stopped arguing.

It wasn’t because of her reputation, but because of Lin Yi’s presence.

“Don’t even think about the money.” w.a.n.g Ran said.

“I’ve thought about it from the start. I’ll give the remainingmoney to Teacher Lin, so this money is no longer mine. It’s useless no matter how much you argue.”

“This…”

They’d all watched w.a.n.g Ran grow up, and they knew her personality very well.

She looked weak and weak, but her stubbornness was something that ten oxen couldn’t budge.

Lin Yi understood this very well.

The w.a.n.g family’s eyes fell on Lin Yi, full of hope.

He was so rich, so 200,000 shouldn’t be a big deal to him.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Lin Yi coughed lightly. “Although my company is quite big, it’s still a fixed a.s.set. I don’t have much cash, but I’m not going to take back the 200,000 dollars. After all, you guys are in trouble, and I have to help you guys out.”

The w.a.n.g family’s eyes lit up. Some people were just different!

200,000 dollars was like two dollars in his eyes.

“I have a finite amount of money, so what if we split it equally? It won’t be enough to cover everybody, so you can only choose one person to satisfy,” Lin Yi said.

“But this is your family’s business, so I won’t be involved. You can decide who you want me to lend the money to. Just tell me the result afterwards.”

Lin Yi patted w.a.n.g Ran’s shoulder as he spoke. “Let’s go. Let’s head inside and let them discuss things here.”

“Okay.”

The two entered the room and left the w.a.n.g family outside. However, each of them had ulterior motives.

The remaining 200,000 dollars could only be taken by one person, so they had to fight for it!

The hostility in the w.a.n.g family’s eyes grew at the thought of this.

It was like a volcano about to erupt!

“Our family will take this money. As for the money needed the gift, you guys will be able to think of a solution,” Chen Yongxin said.
