âWerenât you supposed to be all that? Get up and continue fighting,â Lin Yi raised Yan Biaoâs head and said.
âNo, thatâs enough. Letâs talk things over. Please, no more,â Yan Biao panted.
âTake your men and scram. If you cause trouble for me again in the future, youâll be the next person lying on the road.â
âYes, yes, yes. Iâll get lost now. We wonât cause any more issues.â
With the help of his subordinates, Yan Biao, Huang Mao, and the others left. Similarly, the shantytown also quietened down.
âThanks for this.â Lin Yi patted Qin Hanâs shoulder and said sincerely.
He was confident that he could have resolved this matter with his own ability.
However, Qin Hanâs loyalty touched Lin Yi.
âWhy are you bringing this up? Weâre brothers. Donât stand on ceremony.â
âBrother Lin, Wang Mazi and the others are a group of hooligans. Moreover, theyâre in cahoots with the Zhao family. I have a feeling that Wang Mazi wonât let this go so easily.â Liang Jinming said, âWe still have to be careful.â
âThatâs right. If anything happens in the future, just let us know. Weâll be on call,â Gao Zongyuan said.
Lin Yi patted their shoulders. He had a lot to thank them for, but he felt that it would be too pretentious to say it, so he didnât say anything.
âIn the past, you guys helped me a lot. I wanted to treat you guys to a meal as well as a night of fun in order to repay this favor. However, todayâs issue was a little too big. I definitely canât afford to pay you back just by treating you to some food. In the future, if you need any investment or help with family projects, just let me know. Iâll be on call.â
âF*ck, what are you saying? If you keep being polite, Iâll get mad,â Qin Han said.
âAlright, thatâs all for today.â Lin Yi said.
âTake these brothers to the Peninsula Hotel for a meal and give each of them 2,000 yuan. Donât make them have come here for nothing.â
âI got it, donât worry about it. No one will hold any grudges against you.â
âAlright, thatâs all for today. You can all go back first.â
Under Lin Yiâs arrangements, everyone left one after another.
Lin Yi looked at Wang Hongji. âThis matter should end here. Just proceed normally, but you canât tell President Ji about this, understand?â
âGot it, Brother Lin.â
Lin Yi looked at Wang Ying. âLetâs go back.â
âYou head back to pick up President Ji. Donât worry about me.â
Wang Ying had her own car, so Lin Yi didnât dwell on these small matters.
âIn that case, Iâll leave first. Drive back slowly. If thereâs anything the company needs in the future, remember to tell me sooner rather than later.â
âOkay, got it.â
After reminding Wang Ying, Lin Yi prepared to drive away.
âLil Yi.â
The moment the car door opened, Lin Yi was stopped by Wang Ying.
âWhatâs wrong? Is there anything else?â
âI know I donât have the right to say anything about you, but can you listen to me and stop doing such dangerous things in the future?â Wang Yingâs eyes were red.
âAlthough I canât even be considered your lover now, if something really happens to you, I wonât be able to live anymore.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
Lin Yi hugged Wang Yingâs waist and kissed her forehead.
âDonât think about useless things all day. You donât have to worry about me. A person who can hurt me hasnât appeared yet.â
âJust promise me, or I wonât be able to sleep well.â
âAlright, I promise you,â Lin Yi said, âYour words are a reminder to me.â
âIâm relieved to hear that.â
âAlright, drive back slowly. Call me if you or Lulu ever need anything.â
âYeah.â
After calming Wang Ying down, the two of them drove their separate ways.
Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group before Ji Qingyan got off work.
âDoctor Lin, have you gotten off work? Do you need to work overtime today?â Ji Qingyan asked over the phone.
âI havenât gotten off work yet. I have something on tonight, so I have to work overtime.â
âOh.â Ji Qingyanâs spirits plummeted.
Lin Yi had said in the afternoon that he would get off work in the evening and pick her up.
She had already planned out where to eat. It seemed like their plans had fallen through once again.
âThen remember to eat dinner. If youâre tired, sleep for a while, understand?â
âThereâs no way I can rest. Thereâs an emergency patient at Chaoyang Group. Iâm in the parking lot waiting for the patient to come down.â
âHuh?â
She was stunned for a moment before her heart filled with joy.
âHave you reached the parking lot downstairs?â
âA long time ago, but I donât know when my patient will come down. Iâve been waiting for a long time. It seems she has no sense of time.â
âHehe, then wait for me. Iâll change my clothes and go down immediately.
âI bought a new dress a few days ago. Itâs especially beautiful. Iâll wear it for you to see later.â
âItâll be my pleasure.â
About ten minutes later, Ji Qingyan walked out of the elevator with her handbag in hand like a happy little bird.
Ji Qingyan was wearing a black tube top dress with a four-leaf clover pattern on it. She was also wearing a pair of three-centimeter high heels that accentuated her figure.
Ji Qingyan stood by Lin Yiâs window and gave him a spin.
âIs this dress nice? I spent a long time picking it.â
âThe dress isnât that good, but it looks good on you.â
She smiled adorably. âI knew you would say that.â
With that, she opened the passenger door and got into Lin Yiâs car.
âWhy are you getting in? Iâm here to pick up my patient.â
âIâm your patient.â
âMay I ask what illness you have?â
She raised her head proudly. âItâs an incurable disease.â
âYouâre so full of yourself.â
âHehe, drive quickly. I want to bring you to a particularly delicious French restaurant.â
âLetâs go.â Lin Yi said.
âYou know, I realize now that youâre a real glutton.â
âThatâs because of how much you feed me. Hmph.â
âYou even blame me for this. How can you be so unreasonable?â
âI can blame everything on you.â
As they drove to their destination, Lin Yi chatted and laughed with Ji Qingyan the entire way.
After that, they went to eat French food and watched a movie. Satisfied, Ji Qingyan later followed Lin Yi back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
After returning, they washed up briefly and returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Ji Qingyan once again made breakfast, and this time, it seemed that her culinary skills had improved significantly. She had probably learned a lot from Zhang Shumin recently.
Since Lin Yiâs working hours were uncertain, Ji Qingyan did not ask him to send her off. Instead, she drove to Chaoyang Group.
As soon as she arrived at the office, she saw the secretary bring over a large stack of documents.
âPresident Ji, the project in the suburbs has been settled. We can start work at any time.â
âReally?â Ji Qingyan was surprised. âYesterday, those tenants refused to move no matter what. How did they suddenly come to an agreement?â
âThe project department said that the other party saw that our attitude was firm and there was no possibility of us backing down, so they simply agreed.â
âThatâs pretty good.â Ji Qingyan looked at her watch. âInform the companyâs vice president and the project department to have a meeting at ten.â
âGot it, President Ji. Iâll go inform them now.â
The secretary turned around and left. Ji Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to give Lin Yi a call to tell him the good news.
However, just as she picked up her phone, she saw an unfamiliar number calling her.
âWho are you?â
âPresident Lin, Iâm?Wang Bing1. I hope you still remember me.â
âWang Bing?â Ji Qingyan thought for a moment. âIâm sorry, I donât know you.â
âPresident Ji, youâre really forgetful. We met at the bidding center that day. Donât you remember anything?â
She recalled the bidding process that day and suddenly recalled who the other party was.
âYou must have been the man in the linen suit.â
âThatâs right, thatâs me.â
âWhy are you looking for me?â Ji Qingyan asked sternly.
This person didnât get along with Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan was not very polite toward him.
âThereâs something I want to tell you. Yesterday in the shantytown, your man, Lin Yi, hit my subordinate and seriously injured him. Now, we donât know if heâll survive. He is in critical condition. President Ji, youâre the boss of Chaoyang Group, so shouldnât you take a stand?â
