865 Ji Qingyan’s Crazy Dissing
“You kidnapped me and still want to ask my mother for a red packet. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
“It’s not embarra.s.sing,” Lin Yi said righteously.
“If I didn’t take you away, their hands would be full taking care of you. I’ve helped them solve their problems. It’s not too much to give me some money for this, right?”
“Hmph, you’re just pretending to be obedient after taking advantage of me. It’s not going to be that easy to persuade everyone.”

Ji Qingyan’s family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was very in line with the style of wealthy families. They chose to hold it in a hotel instead.
Firstly, they weren’t short of money, so they came out to eat during the Lunar New Year.
Although w.a.n.g Cuiping always said that it was only proper to eat at home for a reunion dinner, the most important thing to consider was that eating at home saved money.
Secondly, the Ji family was a big family. Other than the son and daughter of Old Master Ji, there were many other relatives.
During the new year, they would also come over to visit Ji Yongqing.
While performing their filial duties, it was also to have many business interactions.
Therefore, every year, there would be at least two big tables of people eating.
This time, Ji Qingyan had brought Lin Yi over. To a certain extent, this could be considered an official announcement of their relationship.
On the other hand, Lin Yi became the target of the younger generation.
The moment someone called him brother-in-law, he could not overthink it. He could only raise his gla.s.s and drink.
Fortunately, Lin Yi’s alcohol tolerance was astonishing. He knocked out Ji Qingyan’s five younger brothers and two younger sisters in one go.
The family banquet finally ended at ten o’clock at night.
Moreover, Lin Yi had also received a red packet of 18,888 yuan. This was symbolic, and it meant that in the new year, his business would boom and he would make a fortune.
Later on, Lin Yi was even called to the bar by Qin Han and the others for a large-scale New Year’s party.
Surprisingly, Ji Qingyan accompanied him until dawn before going back to rest.
When the two of them woke up the next day, it was already past two in the afternoon. It was rare for them to enjoy a New Year’s holiday together.
However, when Lin Yi woke up, he saw three missed calls. They were all from Yan Ci.
Other than that, there was also a WeChat message.
“Call me when you see this.”
“What is it?” Lin Yi called back.
“We have started recording the program. You haven’t forgotten about this, right? How are the preparations going?”
“I don’t have any problems with that. I can start at anytime.”
“There’s one more thing. The head of the production team has discussed it and wants to rent a boat from your w.a.n.gjiang Dock. If there is a fee involve, can you give me a cheaper price?”
“How much do you want to pay?”
“There are about 1,600 partic.i.p.ants and staff for this show. It will take about a month to rent the Starfish. The higher-ups have given us a budget of 300,000.”
“Dollars or euros?”
“Um…” Yan Ci paused for a moment and said in embarra.s.sment, “yuan.”
“Did you volunteer for this matter, or did the leader ask you to come over and negotiate it on their behalf?”
“The leader asked me to come,” Yan Ci answered truthfully.
“What kind of bullsh*t price is this? It’s not even enough to pay for the fuel.” Lin Yi said.
“Did they have you approach me because they knew we were having an affair?”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Yan Ci said. “The TV station’s budget is very tight. It’s not a small amount to be able to fork out 300,000 yuan.”
“Get the money first, then I’ll let you use this ship for free. You can keep the 300,000 yuan for yourself. That should be enough for you to buy a new car.”
“I don’t want the money. You can keep it to pay for the fuel.”
“If you don’t keep it, you won’t get to use the boat. You’ll have to find someone else.”
“How can you act like this?” Yan Ci rebuked. “I don’t want the money.”
“That may be true,” Lin Yi said, “but you have to understand one thing. It’s me who slept with you for the 300,000 yuan, not you who paid me 1,000 yuan to sleep with me.”
“Um…”
On the other end of the line, Yan Ci was silent for a few seconds before she smiled. “It’s been so long, yet you still care so much about this.”
“Of course.”
“Then you’re overpaying for me. I’m not worth that much.”
“That night was worth 80 yuan. The rest is a red packet for you. This is a rule in the industry.”
“I’ll kill you!”
After saying that, Yan Ci hung up the phone. Lin Yi didn’t worry too much though. He stretched and prepared to eat.
Over the next two days, Yan Ci sent Lin Yi a lot of information and things to take note of. This meant that she was secretly cheating.
Even so, Lin Yi didn’t pay much attention to it.
This was because other than the fact that he was trying to complete the system’s missions, he felt that this wilderness survival program was quite interesting.
However, if he secretly cheated, it would be meaningless.
When Qin Han and the others heard the news, they all clapped and cheered, waiting to watch Lin Yi’s appearance on the show. However, Ji Qingyan complained for a long time.
It was fine if he went out to experience life, but why was he partic.i.p.ating in a wilderness survival activity?
Moreover, it was on an isolated island. There was still a risk even if the production team guaranteed that there was no danger.
In the wilderness, who could say for sure?
If he encountered any danger, who could take responsibility?
Lin Yi smiled and comforted her for a long time before Ji Qingyan reluctantly went quiet. He had to do this, otherwise, it would be easy for prevent Lin Yi from going.
The set boarding time on the fifth was from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and then they go out to sea to start recording the program.
Ji Qingyan deliberately waited until past five in the evening before driving to w.a.n.gjiang Dock with Lin Yi.
There were very few tourists at w.a.n.gjiang Dock in winter, and it was basically in a half-empty state.
However, it was unusually lively today. There were people everywhere, both on and off the ship.
All kinds of people gathered and spoke different languages. The scene was chaotic.
They were about to set sail, but some core problems seemed to be unresolved.
“Isn’t the ship leaving in a while? Why is it still so noisy? You probably won’t be able to leave at six. This show doesn’t look very professional. I don’t think you should partic.i.p.ate.”
Ji Qingyan said this because she was filled with resentment toward this program.
As soon as Ji Qingyan found an opportunity, she started complaining, hoping that Lin Yi would back out.
However, Lin Yi’s thoughts had already drifted elsewhere and he did not pay much attention to Ji Qingyan.
It had been more than ten days since he had last met Caie Mitsui. There was still no movement from the other side. Hence, he felt that something was wrong.
In addition, there were only a few days left until the deadline given to Intel. However, they still had not done anything. He did not know if they would do anything while he was away.
“Lin Yi, are you listening to me?”
“I’m listening,” Lin Yi replied casually.
“This is normal. This is a program organized by a television station. Moreover, there are so many people from so many countries partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion. There are cultural differences and language barriers between them. It’s natural for the situation to be a little chaotic.”
“However, this also indirectly reflects a problem. The production team’s ability to coordinate is not good enough, so I suspect that there will be many problems with their safety measures. I think it’s better to go home,” Ji Qingyan said.
“If you don’t go, I’ll let you hug me to sleep for the next week.”
