Lin Yi drove the car to the entrance of the residential area and realized that there were only four buildings inside. Each building was 30 stories tall, and the environment inside was comparable to the Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Lin Yi estimated that the property prices here might be even more expensive than in Tangchen First Cla.s.s.
“Achoo!”
“Achoo!”
“Achoo!”
Lin Yi sneezed three times in a row, and even his snot came out.
He muttered in his heart, “Who the f*ck is talking bad about me behind my back?”
Then, Lin Yi called Liang Ruoxu and asked him where she had arranged for him to set up shop.
Not long after, a group of people in suits ran out of the neighborhood.
“Are you Mr. Lin Yi?”
A middle-aged man in an Armani suit asked.
The man’s name was Li Zhi, and he was the vice president of Victorious Return Corporation. After receiving Shen Shuyi’s call, he had been waiting for Lin Yi here at attention, not daring to be negligent.
“That’s me.”
“President Shen called me and said that you want a stall to sell something here. Is that true?”
“I have fruits in my car. 1 want to borrow your spot to sell them here. Can you do me this favor?”
“Of course you can. You can sell them anywhere you like in Triumph City. No one will bother you.”
“I think this entrance is not bad. There are quite a lot of people coming and going. Can I sell them here?”
“Of course. I’ve already asked someone to clean the area. You can use this place however you want.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Yi parked the car, and Li Zhi arranged for someone to help him bring out the fruits.
Even though he knew that fruits were very expensive, he still bought ten pounds symbolically. He was very well-versed in the ways of the world.
However, Lin Yi was not very happy.
It was obvious that he was buying the fruits for Shen Shuyi’s sake.
He figured that the 30,000 yuan he had made would not be counted as part of the mission, and he had lost 10 pounds of fruit for nothing. This was a huge loss.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Li Zhi left with his men. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead as he had been afraid that he would accidentally make Lin Yi unhappy.
“President Li, you don’t have to be so nervous. After all, you’re someone who’s been through a lot,” said the general manager of Victorious Return Corporation.
“Moreover, even if it’s something arranged by President Shen, you already gave him enough respect by coming over to take care of it yourself. There’s no need for you to come in person, right? You even spent 30,000 yuan for no reason. This was not worth it.”
“That’s because you don’t understand the situation. If CEO Zhao hadn’t gone on a business trip and couldn’t make it back in time, he would have come with me.”
“All?! Why would such a small matter alarm our boss?”
“Let’s not talk about how high President Shen’s status is in Yanjing. We can’t even afford to offend that fruit seller.”
“Why can’t we afford to offend them? Isn’t he just President Shen’s relative?”
“No, he’s actually the president of Lingyun Group, but his ident.i.ty is very secretive. Not many people know about him.”
“President of Lingyun Group?!”
Upon hearing this news, the executives who came along were all stunned.
As a big listed company, they all knew all too well how big Lingyun Group was.
Even Victorious Return Corporation paled in comparison to them.
“That’s not possible. The dignified president of Lingyun Group actually came here to sell fruits?”
“I don’t know exactly what happened. 1 only heard that he was a very relaxed person. He usually does everything he wants to. 1 heard that he is out here trying to experience life to the fullest.”
“Oh my G.o.d, I’ve really opened my eyes today. This is the first time I’ve met such a person. If I had known earlier, I would have bought a few pounds of fruits too.”
“Alright, this matter is over. In any case, tell the people below to be careful and not to upset him.”
“Got it, President Li.”
After setting up the stall, Lin Yi made an additional sign and labeled the price to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
Coincidentally, the outcome was the same as the first time he had sold his fruits at Tangchen First Cla.s.s.
Lin Yi’s appearance attracted a lot of attention.
Young girls in their twenties and aunties in their forties or fifties all surrounded him.
Firstly, the fruits looked good.
Secondly, Lin Yi was very handsome.
In addition, the fruits were sold at a high price. Due to natural human curiosity, many people stopped to inspect the shop.
During this process, Lin Yi discovered something very interesting.
When he had sold his fruits at Tangchen First Cla.s.s, although there were many people who stopped to look, most of them left after taking a few glances and would not stay for long.
However, it was different here. They surrounded you and talked openly, seemingly enjoying the experience.
Lin Yi felt that if he performed a few somersaults for them, he might even receive some tips.
Other than that, Lin Yi noticed another interesting phenomenon.
In Tangchen First Cla.s.s, there were not only young and successful individuals but also a significant proportion of elderly people. It was likely that many of them were wealthy due to property appreciation.
“Young man, are you sure the price is right? 3,000 yuan for 5oog?”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman. Her hair was bleached yellow and she had a western style.
“Yes, 3,000 yuan for 5oog.”
“The price is really not cheap.” The middle-aged woman pursed her lips. “How can you sell them like this?”
“My fruits have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the face. Usually, people who know what they’re doing will buy them.”
“But there are only a few dozen pounds of fruits here. Even if you sell them all, it will only amount to a few hundred thousand yuan. After deducting the cost, there doesn’t seem to be much profit to be made.”
Huh?
As expected, the ladies from the capital spoke with such confidence; to them, hundreds of thousands were insignificant to them
“It’s not a small amount.” Lin Yi smiled.
Although she had no intention of buying it, the middle-aged woman still chatted happily.
Lin Yi didn’t find it annoying.
He was just that kind of person. As long as you didn’t show off, we would still be friends.
“Then how much can you earn in a year by selling fruit?”
“If I say I earn tens of billions a year, you’d think I’m crazy, right?”
“Of course.” The middle-aged woman said,
“If you really earn so much money, why are you selling fruits here?”
Lin Yi smiled bitterly. “A few hundred thousand a year.”
“A few hundred thousand.”
“At your age, you only earn a few hundred thousand a year. That’s not much.”
“Uh… How much does your child earn in a year?”
“Six thousand.”
Lin Yi,
With a salary of 6,000 yuan living here, they must be living in one of the demolished buildings.
Perhaps they were residing in one of the empty courtyards.
“It’s only enough to buy two catties of fruit.”
“Young man, you can’t say that. Our daughter is a civil servant. Not only is she stable, but she also receives good treatment from the government.” The middle-aged woman said,
“Although you earn more, your income is not stable. If you encounter an unforeseen accident, you’ll lose everything.”
“Um… you’re right about that.”
“Do you have a house in Yanjing?”
“No, I don’t, but I have nine in my hometown.”
“How much are your hometown houses worth?”
“Well, all nine are villas.”
“Villas in a small town aren’t worth much, so there’s no point in mentioning this.”
“But my hometown is in Zhonghai..”
