Chapter 1231: Did He Want Something More?

Shen Shuyi smiled and did not answer Lin Yi directly. Instead, she raised her head and glanced at Qin Yingyue.

It was as if she was saying that her son was a playboy.

However, Qin Yingyue did not react at all. She lowered her head and ate as if she did not see anything.

Lin Yi looked at the two people in front of him and felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

What were they flirting about?

After a simple lunch, the three of them went downstairs together.

"Since you"ve delivered the fruits and eaten, go on with your work," Shen Shuyi said to Lin Yi at the entrance of the company.

"Alright, I"ll get going first."

Lin Yi waved his hand and walked towards his car.

Qin Yingyue stood where she was, staring at Lin Yi, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Crystal-clear tears quietly rolled down her face. It was a great fortune for her to be able to sit at the same table as him in this life, even if it was just one meal.

Shen Shuyi handed him a tissue. "He"s already gone. Quickly wipe your tears. It"s not like you"re parting forever. Won"t you see him often?"

"That"s true, but it"s hard to say if there will be another chance like this in the future." Qin Yingyue smiled. "But I"m already content."

"Alright, alright. Stop being so sentimental. Let"s go shopping."

Qin Yingyue was pulled away by Shen Shuyi. Lin Yi walked to the side of the road and prepared to hail a taxi.

However, at this moment, Zhao Lei walked over from behind.

"h.e.l.lo, President Lin."

Lin Yi smiled when he saw that it was Zhao Lei.

"Don"t you think I"m a delivery man? Do you still want to keep me as a sugar baby? Coincidentally, I"ve been short of money recently. How much do you plan to give me a month?"

Zhao Lei"s face turned red.

"President Lin, don"t mock me. It was a misunderstanding just now. If I had known that you were the president of Lingyun Group, I wouldn"t have dared to say that."

"Then why are you looking for me now?"

Zhao Lei straightened her expression and took out her proposal.

"President Lin, let me introduce myself again. I"m the general manager of the Huaxin Group. Our company specializes in semiconductor chip packaging, which is at the end of the semiconductor industry chain. Here"s our financing proposal; I hope you could take a look at it."

Lin Yi took the proposal and flipped through it.

"How much do you want?"

"Um…"

Zhao Lei was a little surprised. She didn"t expect Lin Yi to ask such a direct question.

"Our financing plan is 3.8 billion, but how much we will get still depends on what President Lin thinks of us."

"3.8 billion for 14% of the shares. The ratio is not bad."

Lin Yi handed the proposal back. "Go to the company and look for Qi Xianzhao. Tell him that I asked him to invest in you."

"Hmm? Are you really going to invest in us? Don"t you need to take a closer look or hold a meeting to discuss it?"

"It"s not much. We"re cutting down on holiday bonuses, so we can save a bit. Just go talk to Qi Xianzhao about investment."

If he gave them less bonuses, they would be there…

Hearing Lin Yi"s words, Zhao Lei felt uncomfortable.

Big companies were indeed different.

Was 3.8 billion really nothing to them?

"Okay, okay, thank you, President Lin." Zhao Lei was so excited that she was a little incoherent. "I saw you waving just now. Are you going to take a taxi?"

"Yes, I"m here on a personal matter."

"My car is right beside you. If you don"t mind, I"ll drive you there."

"That works too. Sorry to trouble you."

"What trouble? I"m more than happy to give President Lin a ride."

Lin Yi followed Zhao Lei into her car.

It was a white Maserati, the same model as Ji Qingyan"s car. It only cost about a million yuan and was not considered expensive.

Lin Yi told Zhao Lei the address. The latter turned on the GPS and drove towards the Central Guards Brigade"s training base.

"President Lin, are you free tonight?"

"Huh? Are you still trying to make me your sugar baby?"

"No, no, no…"

Zhao Lei hurriedly explained,

"I didn"t mean that. I just wanted to invite you to dinner to thank you for investing so much in us."

"Oh, if it"s just dinner, I"ll decline."

"Huh?"

Did he want something more than that?!

It certainly wasn"t impossible.

"Then, should I book a room now?"

"Um…"

A mature woman was really good. She could tell what you were asking for just by giving a signal. She was not discrete at all.

It was no wonder that men nowadays liked mature women and young married women. They indeed had their own merits.

Just like how women liked sc.u.mbags.

They pout, and the sc.u.mbags know to give them a kiss. 

They lift their arms, and the sc.u.mbags know to give them a hug.

Not like those straight guys who either ask them to drink hot water or call them "daddy".

"I"m a little too exhausted these past two days. I"ll think about it when I have the chance in the future."

"Thank you for giving me the chance, President Lin. I"ll be on call," Zhao Lei said with a smile.

After driving for about half an hour, Zhao Lei drove the car to the training base of the Central Guards Brigade.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi got out of the car and went to Liu Hong"s office.

"There you are. Sit."

Liu Hong was all smiles when he saw Lin Yi enter.

"Why are you alone? Where are Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che?"

"They"re busy with my training. I don"t have time to come to my place."

"They"re busy with the trial training, they don"t have time to come visit me."

"Do they really need to be responsible for that?"

"They are looking for their own team members. Who"s as carefree as you, who seemingly couldn"t care about anything?"

Lin Yi understood what he was implying. It was like those top scorers in the college entrance exam.

They didn"t need to register themselves, since the top universities would call them beforehand.

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were doing that. They provided some convenience, but one had to join their team to get that.

"When does the official trial start? It"s been delayed for quite a while, hasn"t it?" Lin Yi asked.

"It"ll be starting tomorrow."

Liu Hong took out two cigarettes and handed one to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi refused.

The latter lit his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke.

"You"re now the team leader of Team 1. After the trial training, you will get first pick."

"That"s not good. Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che also need to select members."

"It"s fine. I have the final say in this matter. You should pay more attention to it. Don"t be sloppy." Liu Hong said.

"Perform well. In at least three to five years, you"ll be able to climb to the position of department director. Your future will be limitless by then."

"Isn"t three years a little long? Can you shorten the time?"

"Yes, but the only way that works is if an accident happens to me. The Central Guards Brigade has no one else if that were to happen, so they"ll have to pull you up to take the position."

Lin Yi stroked his chin with a serious expression.

"That"s a good idea."

"F*ck, if something really happens to me one day, I"ll have no doubt that you ordered it."

"Haha… Don"t say that. Maybe it"s just your fate." Lin Yi comforted.

"Don"t be too tired recently. Eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want. If you have a mortgage or a car loan, I"ll help you pay it off. I"ll make sure you leave with a clear conscience and without any regrets."

"d.a.m.n it, someone give me my gun."
