Song Jiayu’s words stunned Ji Qingyan.

“What did you say? He’s the one who invested in you?”

“Huh? But I’m a little curious. Why is President Lin here? Is he here to give us gifts for the new year?”

Song Jiayu was a little excited. “But then again, Sis, isn’t President Lin very handsome? If I hook up with him, our issue might be settled today.”

Ji Qingyan’s face darkened, but she remained silent.

He was prepared to settle scores with Lin Yi later.

Song Jiayu stood up and walked towards Lin Yi, preparing to ask why he was here.

If he was really here to give a gift, it meant that he had some relationship with the Ji family. This way, the two of them would be even closer.

However, at this moment, Huiwen was one step ahead and welcomed Lin Yi into the house.

“You’re just here for a meal. Why did you buy this? You can’t do this again.”

“I didn’t buy anything.” Lin Yi smiled.

At the same time, she saw Song Jiayu sitting next to Ji Qingyan and recognized her at first glance.

She was a relative of the Ji family?

Lin Yi subconsciously thought of something.

His mother-in-law’s surname was Song, and her surname was also Song. She was probably her niece.

This was interesting.

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Song Jiayu couldn’t laugh anymore. Instead, she was a little at a loss.

“Aunt, do you know each other?”

“What are you talking about? This is your brother-in-law. How could 1 not know him?”

“Brother-in-law…”

Song Jiayu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The air was filled with awkwardness.

Did she seduce her brother-in-law?

But why was his brother-in-law so handsome and rich?

Song Jiayu turned around mechanically, hoping to find an answer from Ji Qingyan.

But looking at her cold face, she already understood what was going on.

“Lin Yi, come with me.”

Ji Qingyan stood up and called Lin Yi out.

Song Jiayu shrunk her neck, feeling that she had made a mistake.

“What’s wrong? Why are you wearing a long face during the new year?”

Lin Yi was a little puzzled. The matter wasn’t exposed. She was just calling him a moment ago. Why did she have such an expression?

“You invested 30 million in Jiayu?” Ji Qingyan sized Lin Yi up. “Among that, you basically forced 10 million into her hands?”

“That’s right.”

Seeing that it was about the investment, Lin Yi’s confidence resurfaced.

“To put it bluntly, her fitness project is an offline physical industry. It’s a money-burning project. The Series A is 30 million yuan. This won’t even last two months. It’s not much.”

“But that’s not what Jiayu said.” Ji Qingyan crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Lin Yi with a displeased expression.

“Huh? What did she say?”

“She said you had your eye on her thigh, and then you put in 30 million.”

Lin Yi, ‘F*ck!’

“Her slim legs aren’t my cup of tea at all,” Lin Yi said.

“Besides, I simply thought that this project was alright. That’s why 1 invested the money. What has it got to do with her legs?”

“How would I know?”

“Her legs aren’t as pretty as He Yuanyuan’s. She’s miles away from you. Do 1 have to talk about these useless things?” Lin Yi said.

“Do you think the female employees of the Lingyun Group are just there for decorations?”

Ji Qingyan felt a lot better after hearing Lin Yi’s words.

In reality, she did not really believe the story.

After all, her sister’s legs were not as good-looking as hers.

“Don’t think too much. She’s just spouting nonsense.” Lin Yi said.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s go in and confront her. We’ll know what’s going on.”

“Forget about the confrontation. She’s my sister after all.”

After talking about the investment, the two of them returned to the house.

The others were fine, but they were busy with the family banquet. Song Jiayu was extremely embarra.s.sed.

She actually went to seduce her brother-in-law and even shamelessly told her cousin about this.

Was this something a normal person would do?

Seeing the two of them return, Song Jiayu laughed awkwardly.

Her toes could dig a canyon into the ground.

“Hehe, brother-in-law… This is a misunderstanding. I really didn’t know that you were my brother-in-law.”

“If you knew, it probably would have been three hundred million,” Ji Qingyan said.

Lin Yi was helpless. Why did he have to encounter such a thing?

“I’m curious too. We haven’t talked much, and you didn’t even know 1 was your sister-in-law. So why invest 30 million in me?” Song Jiayu said.

“This is including the extra 10 million yuan which you forced on me. Are you so optimistic about this project?”

“I’m didn’t look at it carefully. I didn’t see clearly.”

“If you can’t see clearly, why did you invest so much?”

Ji Qingyan and Song Jiayu looked at Lin Yi at the same time, wanting to find an answer on his face.

“Isn’t this the nature of venture capital?” Lin Yi said.

“If you can truly see the value of a project, then you won’t make much money. Even if you can make money, there will be countless people competing to invest, and I won’t have a chance. In plain terms, venture capital is gambling, it’s all about luck.”

Lin Yi’s explanation gave Song Jiayu a new understanding of venture capital.

“Aren’t you afraid of losing money?”

“It’s just 30 million. What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not enough for me to buy a car.” Lin Yi said.

“We invested in more than sixty semiconductor companies before this. Now, a third of them are bankrupt. This money is nothing.”

Hearing this shocking number, Song Jiayu pursed her lips.

Only then did she truly realize the difference between herself and these capitalists.

Different thinking patterns meant different structures.

The difference was not slight.

“Brother-in-law, I’ll toast you later. Tell me more about the capital circle.”

“It’s not as complicated as you think. When you get to this point, you’ll understand everything.”

Soon, the family banquet officially began.

The elders sat at a table, while Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan sat at the same table.

As the brother-in-law, Lin Yi was relentlessly plied with alcohol by his younger sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law at the same table, seeking to avenge his overindulgence from last year at this time.

After dinner, Lin Yi brought the young people out again. They played in Metropolis until midnight.

The next day, Ji Qingyan and Ji Qingyan slept until noon before they woke up. In the afternoon, they went out to watch a movie and shop. The New Year’s Day holiday pa.s.sed just like that.

The New Year soon ended. According to the date, it would be the Lunar New Year in a month or so.

Although there was still more than a month left, this time of year was almost always the busiest time for the two companies.

However, Lin Yi was an idle person and remained fine.

Ring ring ring!

After sending Ji Qingyan to work, Lin Yi prepared to go to Yan Ci’s place to see how the preparations for the annual party were going.

However, on the way there, the phone in his pocket rang.

“h.e.l.lo, are you Mr. Lin Yi?”

“That’s me. Who are you?”

“I’m from Zhonghai’s customs. You have a package with us. 1 need you to come and collect it.”

“Alright, I understand..”
