594 Please Donât Tease an Old Lady Like Me!
âYouâre interested in Lin Yi?â
âWho wouldnât fancy such a handsome young man?â Wang Meiyun said.
âIâm not as strong as you. You have such a good man beside you, but youâre not doing anything. What a waste.â
âDoesnât your company have any artists? Why are you targeting him?â
As a good friend of many years, Guo Rui really didnât want to hurt Wang Meiyunâs confidence.
Although she didnât know how much assets Lin Yi had, it was definitely enough to buy her media company.
Even so, she actually wanted to keep Lin Yi as a mistress. This was not realistic at all.
However, for the sake of her good friendâs dignity, Guo Rui did not say this out loud. She planned to try to hint at this.
âThose fresh meat celebrities are all too feminine. Theyâre all used to tricm fans. Theyâre not my cup of tea.â Wang Meiyun said.
âLook at how good his figure is. One look and you can tell that he works out a lot. It suits my taste.â
Guo Rui was a little helpless. Lin Yi was really charming. He was lethal to women of all ages.
âBut thereâs a difference in your ages. Do you think heâll agree?â
âIn todayâs society, do you think age is a problem?â Wang Meiyun said.
âEven if Iâm not as good-looking as you and my figure isnât as good as yours, Iâm still confident that I can get him.â
âIs it because of your money?â
âOf course.â Wang Meiyun said.
âIâm in my forties. I might have taken good care of myself, but Iâm not as good as those young ladies. I donât have any other advantages except money.â
As she spoke, Wang Meiyunâs expression was extremely calm, as if victory was within her grasp.
âI can buy him a house and a car. He wonât have to run a shop here in the future. You know the property prices in Zhonghai. I can save him twenty years of hard work. I donât think he has a reason to disagree.â
Guo Rui did not say anything.
What Wang Meiyun said was indeed a very real problem.
If it were any other boy, there was an 80% chance that they would agree to this. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the problem was that Lin Yi was not ordinary.
With his wealth, he could even buy a building, let alone a house.
This offer wouldnât work!
Guo Rui was trying to think of a way to make Wang Meiyun give up on this unrealistic idea.
If it really didnât work, she would have to sacrifice herself.
She could not make the situation too awkward.
At this moment, Lin Yi walked out with the food and placed it in front of Guo Rui and Wang Meiyun.
âHow does it taste? Give me an evaluation.â
Guo Rui looked at Lin Yi with a smile. âWeâre old friends, but you canât take advantage of us. The food is so expensive. If itâs not delicious, I wonât pay.â
âNo problem.â
The food was now in front of them. Just as Guo Rui was about to eat, Wang Meiyun said,
âYoung man, let me introduce myself. Iâm Wang Meiyun, the general manager of Donglai Film and Television Company. Weâve filmed several television dramas and movies in a row. The industryâs response to us has been very good, and we are planning to get listed in the credits. You should have heard of us, right?â
âUm⦠Iâve never heard of you guys.â
Guo Rui held her forehead helplessly. Lin Yi was still as straightforward as ever.
He was too lazy to even go through the formalities with strangers.
Wang Meiyun was not embarrassed. She still had a smile on her face.
âIt doesnât matter if you havenât heard of us. I just want to tell you that our company isnât that small. If we go public, its market value will be at least 500 million.â
âAnd? What are you getting at?â
Wang Meiyun smiled at Lin Yi. âSince Iâve said so much, I wonât hide it from you anymore.â
Wang Meiyun took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Lin Yi.
âYour shop isnât big, and the things you sell are so expensive. Iâm guessing your business isnât very good. If you want to stop struggling anymore, call me. I donât dare to say anything else, but I can save you at least twenty years of struggling.â
âAre you offering to provide for me?!â
Wang Meiyun was a little surprised. She didnât expect Lin Yi to be so direct.
However, this seemed to be a good thing. It saved her the trouble of beating around the bush.
âI was thinking of just that. And you know my situation. I have 70% of the companyâs shares. Iâm worth at least 350 million. You have to consider this seriously.â
Seeing that Wang Meiyun had laid her cards on the table, Guo Rui was prepared to intercede.
Not to mention 350 million, even if he had 3.5 billion, he might not be interested.
Creak...
Just as Guo Rui was about to speak, the door of the store was pushed open.
Lin Yi looked up and saw Ji Qingyan walking in with her handbag.
Ji Qingyanâs outfit wasnât as glamorous as it was yesterday, and sheâd followed Lin Yiâs instructions to the letter.
She was wearing blue jeans, black and red Air Jordan sneakers, a simple white Nike T-shirt, and a pink mask.
If not for the limited edition Hermès handbag in her hand, her outfit would be no different from that of the female university students nearby.
Guo Rui and Wang Meiyun were surprised to see Ji Qingyan enter.
Her figure was too good.
Her legs were straighter than chopsticks, but she was not the skinny type.
Especially that perky butt. Even a woman like her would be jealous.
However, the moment Ji Qingyan removed her mask, the two of them were even more shocked.
This woman was really beautiful. Coupled with her figure, she was simply perfect.
If she entered the entertainment industry, she would be able to surpass the other female stars in a few years.
âI thought you were going to wait for a while,â Lin Yi smiled.
âI specially picked this time to come over. Thereâs no traffic right now, so it saved a lot of time. I could help out earlier.â
Hearing their tone, Guo Rui and Wang Meiyun could tell that they knew each other.
Moreover, their relationship was pretty close. They might even be boyfriend and girlfriend.
âTo be honest, I donât have much to do today. However, I went to your Lingyun Group this morning and had a meeting with Yuanyuan and the others.â
âZhao Moâs matter finally come to an end. After everything is returned, youâd have recovered about 80 billion yuan. Also, the 30 billion yuan compensation from Cisco has been transferred to Lingyun Groupâs account. In other words, the cash flow in your hands is about 120 billion yuan. Youâre also one of the richest people in all of Huaxia.â
Hearing their conversation, Guo Rui and Wang Meiyuanâs expressions changed.
120 billionâ¦
Although the two of them were not short of money, this number was an astronomical figure to them.
Guo Rui could not help but laugh. She knew that he was rich, but she did not know that he was that rich.
Wang Meiyun looked even more embarrassed, not daring to look at Lin Yi.
What nonsense was she spouting just now?
With her net worth of 350 million, she actually wanted to sponsor a billionaire?
If this matter got out, she would become the laughing stock of the industry.
âThatâs not bad.â Lin Yi nodded.
âHave you asked about the investment department? Iâm going to invest in some high-tech industries to prepare for the photolithography machine.â
âIâll have a private chat with Director Tian about this. Theyâve identified a few relatively good companies.â Ji Qingyan combed her bangs across her forehead and said.
âThe investment plan this time is not as small as before. Many of them start at a billion yuan, so we have to be more careful with the next investment. Otherwise, this money might go down the drain.â
âDonât be so nervous. Thatâs what investments are like. Even if Buffett steps in, he canât guarantee that every investment will succeed. As long as you bet carefully, it wonât be a problem to make money.â
âYouâre right, but the final draft of the investment plan hasnât been prepared yet. When the time comes, youâll have to make a call.â
âThatâs easy. Weâll study it when the time comes.â
âUh-uh.â
After discussing business with Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan put on her mask and returned to the bar counter, acting like a lady boss.
âLin Yi, weâve eaten. How much is it? Iâll pay you now.â
The two of them ordered a lot of food, but they did not eat much.
After such an awkward incident, Wang Meiyun couldnât eat anymore and prepared to leave quickly.
âFinished so quickly? Doesnât your friend still want to provide for me? Continue chatting. Iâm quite interested in what happened just now.â
Wang Meiyun was so embarrassed that she couldnât show her face.
âYouâre already worth hundreds of billions. Donât tease an old woman like me.
âMy heart canât take it.â
âDonât talk nonsense. She was just joking. Arenât you afraid that your girlfriend will make you sleep on the sofa tonight?â Guo Rui teased to ease the awkwardness for her friend.
âBy the way, give me the final bill. Iâll QR pay you.â
âThatâll be 1180.â
âOkay.â
âYou two know each other?â Ji Qingyan asked in surprise.
âHis name is Guo Rui. Sheâs a friend I met when I ran errands. I bumped into her today.â
âSince youâre friends, Iâll give you a 20% discount,â said Ji Qingyan.
âThereâs no need for a discount. This is your new shop. Iâm here to support you. Just give me a discount when I come again in the future,â Guo Rui said with a smile.
Ji Qingyan didnât think too much about Lin Yi and Guo Ruiâs relationship because she wasnât the right age.
After paying, Guo Rui said goodbye to Lin Yi and left the store.
Pfft!
She could not help but burst out laughing.
âMr. Lin, youâre not bad. Your charm hasnât decreased. Someone actually wanted to support you.â
âI canât help it. A handsome young man like me is lethal to women of all ages.â
âStop talking nonsense. Hurry up and give me the 1,180 yuan. Also, the three bowls of egg-fried rice that you sold in the morning comes to about 1,747 yuan. Hand it all over.â
âNo way. I earned so little today, yet you actually want to take it away?â
Ji Qingyan put her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Yi sternly. âOf course, Iâll manage the familyâs money from now on. Your monthly allowance will depend on your performance.â
âI seriously suspect that youâre just with me for my money.â Lin Yi reluctantly handed the money over.
âWhat else could it be? Do you think that I fancy your family estate in Yangcheng?â
