“What did I do?” Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned.

“I can’t believe you’re still pretending.”

“What am I pretending about? I’m so annoyed.” Tang Xiaoxiao complained.

“I told him to sing a song, but he actually surpa.s.sed me. 1 walked right into my own trap. I’m so angry!”

“Isn’t that great? If you sing better than him, things would have turned out poorly.”

“What are you talking about? With my skills, wouldn’t it be embarra.s.sing if I couldn’t beat him?” Tang Xiaoxiao said.

“Moreover, just now, much of the crowd seemed to have already heard the difference between us. If this is posted online by a busybody, it will be used as dirt against me.”

“Don’t worry, 1 won’t. This small matter won’t affect you,” the agent said.

“The main thing is that the person you called up is the president of Lingyun Group. Now, we can try to curry favor with him, so you performed very well.”

“Huh?”

Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned and felt that she was hallucinating.

“What did you say? He’s the president of Lingyun Group?”

“Of course, it’s the real deal,” her manager said.

“On the other hand, you pretended to be arrogant with me just now. 1 didn’t expect you to invite him on stage to sing. You’ show such a cold front but are secretly such a pa.s.sionate girl.”

Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a long time.

“He’s the president of Lingyun Group!”

“Do you think I’d lie to you about this? Are you surprised? He’s very handsome, right?” The manager chuckled and said.

“Let alone you, even an old woman like me is a little tempted.”

“But he’s the president of Lingyun Group. Why was he sitting in the back? Logically speaking, he should be sitting in the first row.”

“Why else would they say that he keeps a low profile? He sat at the back because he didn’t want to show his face. However, you’re quite smart. You actually got him to go on stage. Not bad, not bad.”

Tang Xiaoxiao’s expression collapsed. She wanted to die.

Outside, the annual meeting was coming to an end.

In order to make it more interesting, Lin Yi even gave out two million yuan in red packets at the end of the event. It could be considered a perfect conclusion for this gala.

In the next few days, it was the New Year’s holiday. For adults, it was a busy day. They needed to prepare for the New Year.

Ji Qingyan had bought a lot of things. She did not only get new clothes for Lin Yi, but also for his parents.

Even Qin Yingyue, who was far away in Doora, was not forgotten. Ji Qingyan was very considerate.

“How many days will you stay in Yangcheng this year?”

Two days before New Year’s Eve, she asked,

“I’ll be back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.” Lin Yi thought for a moment and said.

“There are quite a few relatives at home who want to visit, and then there are some senior leaders who usually take good care of me; I need to visit them too. I’ll try to get these things done as quickly as possible and come back to you.”

“I’m not in a hurry. I’m just asking.”

Ji Qingyan said reluctantly.

Although Lin Yi would be back in a few days, Ji Qingyan, who was by now used to this lifestyle, still couldn’t bear to part with him. She was eager to spend every day with him.

“You’re not in a hurry, but 1 am.” Lin Yi pinched her cheeks.

“I have to come back soon. I can’t sleep well at night without you.”

“Tsk, you’re already an adult, yet you still say such things. Don’t you have any shame?”

“It’s the same for you.”

“I’m a girl. I can do this, but you can’t.”

Lin Yi smiled and stroked Ji Qingyan’s long hair.

“I’ll be back in a few days. Wait for me at home.”

“Okay.”

After that, Lin Yi drove Ji Qingyan home, drove himself to the airport, and boarded his private jet.

However, on the plane, other than the crew, was also Liang Ruoxu.

Just like in previous years, under normal circ.u.mstances, Liang Ruoxu was not allowed to leave. Even if it was the new year, she had to remain on duty here.

However, the higher-ups knew her background and naturally did not dare to make her stay here, so they let her go home.

Hence, she rushed back to Yanjing with Lin Yi today.

“Have you settled your matters?” Liang Ruoxu asked.

“Are you sure you want to go back to Yanjing with me?”

“Of course. I can at least do this much.”

“Pfft, just keep bragging.”

Lin Yi smiled and didn’t say anything. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

“By the way, the higher-ups seem to have pa.s.sed a beneficial policy for Dongsan County.” On the way, Liang Ruoxu said,

“It should be approved shortly after the New Year, with plans to turn it into a demonstration zone for high-tech industries. Whether you can receive additional benefits and preferences beyond this depends on the mood of those higher up.”

“Then, Dongsan County can also expect to benefit right?”

“Definitely, the plan includes developing the county towns as well, but the extent of which is still uncertain. It all depends on the intentions of those at the top.”

“That’s all I need.”

The situation in Dongsan County was already good to begin with. Coupled with the new policy, it would probably not be long before he completed the mission to alleviate poverty.

Lin Yi did some calculations.

The profession of a farmer had taken almost a year. It could be considered the longest.

However, it was also the profession from which he gained the most.

Two hours later, the plane landed in Yanjing.

The two of them had a meal outside, and then Lin Yi sent Liang Ruoxu home, along with the gifts he bought.

However, Lin Yi didn’t enter. He left the things at the door and left.

In business, he and Shen Shuyi could be said to be extremely close, but he still needed to maintain some distance when it came to his relationship with Liang Ruoxu.

At the very least, now was not the time to meet.

After leaving, Lin Yi didn’t go to the airport.

Instead, he called Lu Beichen and told him that he had arrived in Yanjing.

Before coming to Yanjing, the two of them had already communicated over the phone and planned to meet that night.

After the call, Lin Yi bought some things and went to the General Staff Department’s courtyard to visit Lu Beichen’s house.

“Come on, come on in.”

Seeing Lin Yi outside the door, Lu Beichen’s wife, Song Yuzhen, welcomed him in.

Song Yuzhen’s enthusiasm made Lin Yi uncertain.

He was also like this when they first met. It was as if she was treating him like a friend.

“Look at you. If you want to visit, then visit. Why do you still need to buy us these gifts? If you do this again, I won’t let you come.”

“It’s not anything valuable.” Lin Yi chuckled.

At this moment, Lu Beichen walked to the door.

“Come in quickly. The food is ready. We were just waiting for you to come over.”

“I’m sorry to make a big shot like you wait for me.”

“Kid, don’t joke around with me. Come in quickly.”

Lu Beichen brought Lin Yi to the dining table. There were a total of eight dishes. They did not look outstanding. They should have been prepared by Song Yuzhen. They were all home-cooked dishes and were not as exquisite as the ones in the restaurant.

Lu Beichen took a bottle of unlabeled wine and poured a gla.s.s for Lin Yi.

“Did you call me asking to meet because you ran into something tricky?”
