Chapter 537: Chapter 537 - Your Butt Is Too Big

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Are you really concerned about Muddy Waters?”

“Kind of.”

Lin Yi’s body was submerged under the water, but his elbows were resting on the poolside.

“Muddy Waters LLC is indeed quite powerful. I don’t know what they found out in the past twenty days. As long as the news isn’t announced, I won’t be able to prepare any countermeasures. I’m in a passive position.

“Their main business is discrediting other companies. Our response will be to improve the company’s image from the front. This is the most effective way to deal with them.”

“That’s true, but how exactly to improve the image is the question.”

“Have you thought of a solution?”

“I wasn’t thinking about it.”

“Then what were you thinking about?” Ji Qingyan grumbled. He was already an adult, but why didn’t he know how to be anxious? She was really worried to death for him.

“Come here and I’ll tell you what I’m thinking.”

She squatted down and rested her chin on her hand. “If you don’t come up with a solution today, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

“Come closer.”

“I’m already very close,” said Ji Qingyan. “My dress has a round neckline. It’s impossible for you to see down my top…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Qingyan watched Lin Yi grab her arm and pull her into the pool.

“Ah!”

Thump!

Ji Qingyan’s scream broke the silence of Jiuzhou Pavilion before causing a huge splash.

“Lin Yi, I’m going to kill you!”

Ji Qingyan gripped Lin Yi’s arm tightly as she took some time to adjust to the water.

“Don’t tense up. You have to know how to have fun.”

“Even so, you can’t act like this. You scared me to death,” Ji Qingyan pouted and nearly cried.

“Alright, alright. Don’t cry, don’t cry,” Lin Yi said as he wiped her tears.

“Lift me back up.”

“I’d love to.”

Lin Yi brought Ji Qingyan up from the pool.

Then, he carried her in his arms and walked toward Villa No. 1.

Ji Qingyan’s dress was made of a thin material. After getting wet, it had turned translucent and clung to her exquisite waist.

Even the black underwear and safety pants inside could be seen clearly.

“Don’t look so obviously.” Ji Qingyan reached out and pinched Lin Yi’s face, looking straight ahead. “See no evil.”

“That’s the behavior of a gentleman. I’m not a gentleman. You’re lucky you’re not being molested.”

“You really are a gangster, and a big one at that.”

“Whatever. I don’t care.”

Ji Qingyan turned around and ignored Lin Yi.

He had seen her in a swimsuit, so this didn’t really matter.

When they arrived at Villa No. 1, Ji Qingyan went to take a shower, changed into her pajamas, and brought back her laptop. Then, she snuggled up on the sofa with Lin Yi.

“Pull back your feet. You’re occupying such a big portion of the sofa.”

“Isn’t there room for you?”

“It’s too small for me.”

“Why don’t you say your butt is too big.”

“You’re the one with the big butt.”

Ji Qingyan forced herself into the gap and pushed Lin Yi’s feet to the side. Then, she placed the laptop on the armrest of the sofa and said,

“Now, we’ve absorbed about 22 billion. The curve seems to have stabilized a little.”

“I think Zhao Mo is in a very confused state. He doesn’t know what to do.”

“Why?”

“Because in the eyes of the outside world, I shouldn’t have much cash on hand after buying Didi. Ten billion should already be my limit.” Lin Yi changed his posture and placed his feet on Ji Qingyan’s lap.

“But now that I’ve gobbled up 22 billion, Zhao Mo can’t figure out my situation anymore. Naturally, he won’t dare to act rashly. However, it won’t be long before they continue to dump again. Don’t be anxious.”

“How much do you think Zhao Mo will dump in the end?”

“Between 30 and 50 billion. That depends on how much face the brokerage gives to Huayin Group. But no matter how much he offers, I can accept it.”

“That’s why you didn’t mortgage Longxin.”

Lin Yi nodded. “The money on hand is enough to deal with Zhao Mo and the other investors. The rest is up to Muddy Waters.”

“Alright then.” Ji Qingyan nodded. “Go back to work. I’ll keep an eye on things here.”

“I’m not working today.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“F*ck… Look at you.”

…

Yinzun Bathouse, Naijing.

Zhao Mo and the other three were soaking in the hot spring surrounded by white steam, very much enjoying the atmosphere.

At the same time, there were a dozen women in bikinis serving them tea and providing them various services.

“What?! He’s already matched the 22 billion?!”

In the hot spring, Zhao Mo could not remain calm after receiving Fu Zhengyi’s call.

“We dumped about 20 billion. The remaining 2 billion was thrown out by retail investors.” Fu Zhengyi said.

“Director Zhao, what should we do now? Should we continue to dump?”

“Wait a few minutes. I’ll let you know later.”

“Got it, Director Zhao.”

Lin Yi accepting 22 billion at this time wasn’t good news for him.

He had initially thought that Lin Yi might be able to take on 20 billion, but it would take him some time. In this case, he wouldn’t have enough funds left and Zhao Mo would now be on the verge of victory.

However, Lin Yi was eating up as much as he dumped. There was no hesitation at all.

This was not a good sign. It meant that he might have enough funds on hand. Moreover, Zhao Mo didn’t know how much he had left.

“Zhao Bro, did Lin Yi accept the twenty billion gamble?” Sun Ce asked.

At this moment, the other three had serious expressions.

This was because the current situation did not match their expectations.

“Do you think he could have applied for a loan from the bank?” Lu Xuan asked.

“His company, Longxin, is gaining traction. If he wants to take out a loan, it will take a matter of minutes.”

“There’s no need to guess. I’ll just call and ask.”

Zhao Mo dialed Liang Ruoxu’s number.

“Ruoxu, are you busy?”

“I’m alright. Why?”

“How are things in Zhonghai? Is there anything you’re not accustomed to? Are you used to the food in Zhonghai? Do you need me to get someone to send some food to you?”

Gu Changchuan and the others were speechless. What a simp.

“It’s alright. I’m getting used to it,” Liang Ruoxu answered professionally. “Is there something you need from me?”

“I want to ask you something.” Zhao Mo did not hide anything. “Did Longxin ask you for a loan?”

“A loan?” Liang Ruoxu said, “No.”

“Alright, take care of yourself in Zhonghai. If there’s anything you’re not used to, remember to tell me.”

“Okay, thanks.”

After hanging up, Zhao Mo said, “He didn’t get a loan.

“In that case, there’s only one possibility left. He offered his assets as collateral. Otherwise, there’s no other explanation,” Gu Changchuan said.

“Do you think he really has that much money?” Lu Xuan said, “If he bought Didi with all his money, he wouldn’t be able to do this without a huge amount of liquidity.”

“That’s even more unlikely,” Sun Ce said.

“A healthy development company wouldn’t keep so much cash in the bank. Lin Yi isn’t a fool. It’s impossible for him to lack this bit of common sense after building his company to this size.”

“In that case, there’s no need to continue this discussion. He probably used his businesses as collateral,” Gu Changchuan said. “I’ll get someone to investigate tomorrow.”
