âArenât you one?â Liang Ruoxu said.
âEven a woman like President Ji has been tricked by you. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been toyed to death by you.â
âAll is fair in love and war. Otherwise, my mother would have hacked me to death even without Ji Qingyanâs help.â
âAuntie likes President Ji a lot, right?â
âDidnât you see that sheâs already called her daughter-in-law? If she didnât like her, she wouldnât call her that.â
After a few seconds of hesitation, Liang Ruoxu asked,
âTell me, if the first girl you brought back wasnât President Ji, wouldnât the situation be different?â
âUmâ¦â
This question stumped Lin Yi.
Ji Qingyan was undoubtedly outstanding. Anyone who saw her would like her.
However, none of the women beside him seemed to be lacking either.
Even if he brought Wang Ying back, Mother Wang would probably still like her.
Then again, she was still a traditional woman. She would have some feudal thoughts.
If the first person she had brought back was not Ji Qingyan, things might have been different.
To Mother Wang, it was still very important to be faithful to the first woman. The first girl would always be acknowledged as her daughter-in-law.
If Lin Yi had brought someone else back first, even if she met Ji Qingyan in the future, she would not acknowledge the latter.
âThatâs very possible.â Lin Yi said.
âSheâs getting old. She doesnât actually have any requirements when it comes to finding a partner for her children. As long as itâs a girl of the opposite sex, sheâll be as so long as the girl is alive.â
âThat doesnât mean you donât still have to take precautions. The way youâre speaking, itâs as if there are no older youths in the world.â
âAlright, letâs not talk about this for now. Letâs get down to business.â
Lin Yi handed the documents in his pocket back to Liang Ruoxu.
âSign it and leave a copy. Iâll send the rest back to Zhao Wen.â
Lin Yiâs three requests listed on the document were all beneficial to the country and the people.
âWhy are you doing this? Youâre not getting anything out of this.â
âEver since I was young, my mother told me that children from poor backgrounds should take charge early and become aâ¦â
âStop, stop, stop. Stop spouting nonsense. Iâm afraid youâll fool me to death.â
âThen hurry up and sign it. Try to get promoted as soon as possible. At that time, Zhonghai will be ours. If anyone dares to f*cking bully me, Iâll shout out loud. In all of Zhonghai, who would still dare to f*cking touch me, Lin Yi?!â
âAlright, be more serious.â Liang Ruo covered her mouth and smiled.
âEven now, no one in Zhonghai dares to touch you.â
âThen hurry up and sign it. Itâll take effect after you sign it,â Lin Yi said.
âIn the few minutes you are hesitating, many more people might be spending exorbitant money to see a doctor.â
Liang Ruoxu took a deep breath. âLin Yi, thank you for doing this. I donât dare to say anything else. With these achievements, itâs not a problem for me to become a member of the National Commitee.â
âIâm not interested in such things. Itâs better for you to protect me since youâre so awesome.â
Lin Yi stretched. âIâm going back to sleep. Just put it in my bag after signing the contract.â
âDonât just sleep. Think about how to deal with the negative news first.â
âIâll do it after I go to bed.â
âAlso, are you sure youâre going to resign?â Liang Ruoxu asked.
âTomorrow morning, after Iâm done with Muddy Waters, Iâll go to the hospital in the afternoon to hand in my resignation.â
âDo you need my help?â
âNo. This is just a small matter. I can handle it myself.â
With a click, Lin Yi closed the door and prepared to sleep.
Whooshâ¦
Looking at the documents on the coffee table, Liang Ruoxu took a deep breath.
She knew better than anyone what these documents meant. With these political achievements, it should be enough to get her promoted.
Looking at Lin Yiâs room, Liang Ruoxu frowned slightly. He didnât know if Lin Yi had come up with a solution.
âHuff⦠huffâ¦â
Liang Ruoxu, ââ¦â
It had only been a few minutes, and he was already snoring?
Did you think of a solution or not?!
Liang Ruoxu quietly walked towards the door.
Then, he carefully opened the door and saw Lin Yi sleeping soundly on the bed in his underwear.
The moonlight shone in from outside the bed, lighting up Lin Yiâs well-defined face. Even Liang Ruoxu was a little infatuated.
From the photolithography project, to the name list provided by Pfizer, and now the contract in her hand.
From the beginning until the end, he did not do any of it for his own benefit.
He had been contributing to society in his own way.
In the quiet night, Liang Ruoxu remembered the night her mother had come.
She said that Lin Yiâs future would be one of two extremes.
He would either be stepped on by the world or step on the world himself.
However, when she thought of what Lin Yi had done, she dismissed this notion.
He was both cynical toward, but also willing to better, the world.
Her mother was wrong. He had long made peace with this devastated world.
The night was quiet. Liang Ruoxu couldnât help but walk over and cover Lin Yi with a blanket.
However, just as she was about to leave, Liang Ruoxu could not help but lean down and kiss the side of his face.
However, at that moment, Liang Ruoxu saw Lin Yi turn around and their lips met.
Boom!
Liang Ruoxuâs mind went blank as she felt terrible.
Just as she was about to break free, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her waist.
Her waist was tightly hugged by Lin Yi, and she didnât even have the chance to resist. She was forcefully carried to the bed and pressed under him.
Furthermore, their mouths were still touching.
Liang Ruoxuâs eyes widened like a frightened deer.
âBoohooâ¦â
âBeauty Liang, why arenât you sleeping at night? Why did you ambush me?â
âWho ambushed you?â
The moonlight reflected on Liang Ruoxuâs flushed face as if it was on fire.
âYou came over to kiss me, and you still say that you werenât trying to ambush me?â
âGet up, youâre pressing on me. It hurts.â Liang Ruoxu pushed Lin Yi away and ran out in a panic, too embarrassed to face anyone.
â¦
Yanjing, Shangri-La Hotel.
Zhao Mo, Gu Changchuan, Sun Ce, and Lu Xuan were eating together.
However, other than the four of them, Feng Zhu was with them.
âMr. Zhu, let me toast you.â Zhao Mo raised his glass and said,
âThe results of your investigation are really beyond my expectations. I didnât expect you to be able to find so much negative information. Itâs too surprising.â
âThis is only our first attack. I estimate that in another three to four days, the popularity of this matter might decrease. At that time, we will expose the second wave of negative information. I will make sure his Lingyun Group and Didi have no room for a counterattack!â
Hearing this, Zhao Mo and the other three were extremely surprised.
This was because they were already very satisfied with the current situation.
If there was a second wave, wouldnât Lin Yi be slaughtered?
âMr. Zhu, Iâll have a good drink with you today.â
âThereâs an old saying in Huaxia. We take peopleâs money and help them solve their problems. This outcome was only natural.â Feng Zhu held his wine glass and said.
âThis short-selling game is not over yet. They will definitely suffer a crushing defeat!â
