Chapter 307: 307: Every time I see him for the first time, my heart beats faster

Translator: 549690339

Ji Baili truly had no idea what Ji Baijian was thinking.

He hadn’t known since he was a child.

All he knew was that his older brother was very powerful.

And he could only obey orders.

When his brother said to take over the Ji family business, he took over. When he was told not to interfere, he stepped back.

He saw this clearly.

For a long time, he truly worked under his older brother’s gaze, having to gauge his mood every day.

He also heard his brother’s conversation with their father.

His father obviously didn’t want to hand the business over to him, but his older brother made it clear to their father that he was not interested in the Jihong Group.

Often, their father was outmaneuvered by his eldest son.

Sometimes, Ji Baili would wonder.

Despite his family’s many drawbacks common among wealthy families, such as the absolute authority of the family head, their veneer of civility, the family’s outward glamour, and some perverse self-cultivation, their family, probablyin only, did not engage in much deception and cunning, nor did they fight bloodily over property.

Later, Ji Baili concluded that it all came down to Ji Baijian’s strength; he couldn’t compete.

Moreover, because of his strength, he generally didn’t even bother.

So, the Ji family truly was unique.

Ji Baili followed Ji Baijian like this, working together every day for three months.

During these three months, life was generally peaceful.

Jin City transitioned from summer to autumn, and the weather gradually cooled.

The trees along the streets turned yellow and the entire city seemed desolate.

During these three months, Jin City didn’t experience any major incidents, except for Ye Taiting’s death and Ye Wenhan’s assumption of his position. Ye Wenhan’s succession was not ostentatious, and the entire Commercial Management organization appeared peaceful. The outside world also didn’t have much news about Ye Wenhan. Occasionally there would be a few flattering comments. It seemed Ye family still maintained a great sense of mystery as before.

During these three months, a game streamer suddenly became famous. The whole Internet knew about a suit-wearing ‘brother’ kicking butt at games. It was only because of this ‘brother’s’ unexpected rise to fame that Milky Way Media’s sole live-streaming platform experienced a surge in users, causing Milky Way Media’s market share to soar, leading the pack for a time.

Yin Qin also finally got to experience the taste of being looked up to.

When he first started the live-streaming platform for games, everyone thought he was just playing around. Everyone scoffed at how he had brought his hobbies into the company. Nobody had faith in him. There was even a director who secretly complained to Yin Bin about him. Yin Bin was actually angry, but he didn’t want to trouble Yin Qin; he feared getting so excited that his blood vessels would burst, so he just let Yin Qin be.

Who would have thought that such a small livestreaming platform could bring such a great return?

Yin Qin had been walking around the company with his nose in the air for some time now.

Seeing Yin Qin’s demeanor sometimes really infuriated Weng Cheng.

After finishing a meeting and returning to his office, his face was pitch black.

Recalling how the senior executives had showered Yin Qin with undeserved kudos at the meeting just now got his teeth itching with anger.

So what if he just happened to accomplish a project? He had brought in so much program revenue and advertising sponsorship for the Milky Way Media. Could none of these people see that?!

What kind of qualifications did this wastrel Yin Qin have to receive such lofty praise?

He gritted his teeth.

His phone suddenly rang.

He saw the caller ID and picked up. “Mom.”

“What’s wrong, in a bad mood?” Yin Ying asked when she heard Weng Cheng’s voice.

“Don’t mention it. I was annoyed by that brat Yin Qin all day.” Weng Cheng said, sounding annoyed.

“A good-for-nothing like Yin Qin made you like this? Weng Cheng, you’re hundreds of times better than Yin Qin in all aspects. I sent you to Milky Way Media for training to have you win over your uncle. I wanted you to directly take over Milky Way Media from him. Not only have you not achieved what I want, but you’re also now being suppressed by Yin Qin. And you’re still angry at this?!”

“Yin Qin just got lucky this time. He put up a live stream on a whim, managed to find a very good game streamer, and now everyone on the internet’s watching his livestream. It’s bringing in a lot of revenue for the company. Now everyone in the company is flattering him. Seeing him walking around so full of himself, I just want to punch him.”

“Enough! I don’t want to know what exactly happened. I just want to ask you, do you think your uncle still wants to hand our Yin family’s assets over to Yin Qin?”

“My uncle has never given up on Yin Qin. This time, seeing Yin Qin make some achievements, he definitely won’t give up.”

He had been trying to please his uncle Yin Bin for so many days, and had indeed gained a lot of benefits, but he was ultimately still working for Yin Qin. Thinking about this, he definitely couldn’t swallow his anger.

“The reason Yin Bin hasn’t given up on Yin Qin is that you haven’t done enough!”

“Mom, I’ve done my best. I’ve worked hard, really. I’ve been trying my best to win my uncle’s favor. But Yin Qin is my uncle’s son. I’ve already lost just because of that.”

“Stop saying these defeatist things.” Yin Ying harshly scolded her son. “It’s true that Yin Qin is Yin Bin’s son, but if Yin Qin is a hopeless case, Yin Bin wouldn’t destroy our Yin family’s assets in Yin Qin’s hands. You’re also one of us, and if Yin Qin is hopeless, it would be natural for you to take over.”

“The thing is…”

“The thing is, you haven’t found the right way of doing things for so many years. I’ve trusted you and haven’t interfered much because I didn’t want my younger brother to suspect that I had designs on Yin family’s assets. On the other hand, I also wanted him to think that I don’t look after you, so he would feel more responsible for you and develop better relationships with you. Thinking about it now, I realize that you’re still too naive.”

“What does mom mean?”

“You’ve only thought about your own development and how to please your uncle. But have you thought about how to make your uncle completely disappointed in Yin Qin? Not only did you not do this, but you also let Yin Qin make a name for himself in the company. Don’t you think you should reflect on it?” Yin Ying said pointedly.

At that moment, everything dawned on Weng Cheng.

He had indeed been always trying to please and show his own abilities, but he had never thought of suppressing Yin Qin. He should say, he had never thought that Yin Qin could develop. From his heart, he looked down upon him.

“You should know what to do next without me teaching you again.”

“I understand.” Weng Cheng said sinisterly.

“Also, help me invite your uncle over for dinner at my house tonight.” Yin Ying directed.

“Why the sudden urge to ask Uncle over for dinner?”

“Thinking about it just infuriates me even more.” Yin Ying suddenly lost her temper.

“What’s the matter?”

“Lin Ximeng has been back for three months now, and there’s been no substantial development between her and Yin Bin! Yin Bin’s wooden-headed attitude, instilled by our father from a young age, even after so many years without any romantic feelings for Keqin, he still maintains their marriage. He’s the old-fashioned type that thinks marriage requires familial responsibility. I don’t know how Lin Ximeng got him into bed those years ago, but since there’s a precedent of him being unfaithful, I believe this time she can destroy his family completely. This way, if he’s drawn away by Lin Ximeng, he would naturally neglect the company, giving you an opportunity to shine. On the other hand, if Yin Bin divorces Keqin, do you think he’d still feel responsible for the family? Would he still want Yin Qin to take over Milky Way?” Yin Ying said fiercely, her plan well-thought-out.

Weng Cheng nodded in agreement, “The older the ginger, the spicier it gets. I thought Mom only wanted Aunt Lin to come back just to ruin Uncle’s family. After all, Mom has never liked my aunt over these years, and Aunt doesn’t like you either. I thought you only wanted to make Aunt uncomfortable, I didn’t expect Mom to consider so many things.”

“Take a lesson from this, remember. Tonight, you must have your Uncle come home. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to get Yin Bin and Lin Ximeng together!”

“Alright.”

Weng Cheng hung up the phone, a cold smile on his lips.

It seems, the show is about to begin.

In the next office.

Yin Qin put his legs on the desk, looking at the phone screen with a look of bliss.

Every day, he enjoyed videos of Luo Xiaolang playing video games. Everyone was amazed at how great she was at them and he thought she was a rare genius in the world, and he was the one who found her. He admired his own intelligence, smart enough to let Luo Xiaolang do the live streams, leading to a surge in popularity for all of the Milky Way’s programs. Countless advertisers flocked to them, and the advertising fees were astonishingly high. His dad even looked at him with a pleased look recently. The thought of it felt good.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He reveled in self-satisfaction.

He closed the video and called Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang was exercising at home.

She was still sweaty, taking the phone and responding with a “Hmm.”

“Seven o’clock tonight, I’m waiting for you.”

“Hmm.”

As Xiaolang hung up, she stopped exercising.

Her stomach was feeling uncomfortable.

It wasn’t her stomach per se, more like a bit above it, probably her stomach.

Recently, due to Yin Qin having her live stream at seven, she often hurried from picking up Song Zhizhi from work to the Milky Way, sometimes without dinner, which led to her stomach acting up due to irregular meals. She disliked taking medication, so when her stomach acted up, she’d drink some warm water and bear with it.

At this moment, she started feeling a bit off.

But she’s always been able to endure. Looking at the time, she got up, took a shower, changed clothes, and went out to pick up Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi has been fine recently, not having to work overtime in general.

She waited at Commercial Management for a few minutes before Song Zhizhi came downstairs.

She got into Xiaolang’s car, seeing her in a suit, “Going to do a live stream again?”

“Yep.” Xiaolang nodded.

“You’ve been doing it for three months, aren’t you tired?”

Xiaolang thought for a moment, “A bit.”

“Then stop doing it.”

“But I can see Yin Qin is really happy.” Xiaolang said straightforwardly.

Just because he’s happy, you’ll continue to help him?!

Song Zhizhi ruminated, if Xiaolang truly liked Yin Qin, she would suffer a lot in her lifetime.

She turned to look out the window.

Actually, she’d tried to persuade Xiaolang many times over these three months, but every single time it ended without consequence.

At this moment, she heard Xiaolang say, “I don’t want to see Yin Qin unhappy.”

Song Zhizhi was speechless.

Who knows what good fortune Yin Qin had to stumble upon Luo Xiaolang.

Of course, Xiaolang didn’t think that much. All she knew was that Yin Qin has been in high spirits these days. Every time she shows up in front of him, he would grin like an idiot, and was very attentive to her. While she assumed she would dislike it, she didn’t expect to feel inexplicably happy.

A feeling she couldn’t put into words.

So, for all this time, she’d appear in front of Yin Qin every night at seven o’clock punctually.

She dropped Song Zhizhi off at home and drove to the Milky Way Media Building.

Yin Qin was already waiting for her downstairs.

He always greeted her with immense enthusiasm.

He opened the car door for Xiaolang, “Gaming Master, please.”

Xiaolang just looked at Yin Qin.

He wasn’t any different, there was nothing outstanding about him, in her mind, he was quite weak in every aspect.

But she didn’t know why.

Every time she looked at him like this, her heart would beat faster.
