“Sure, I’ll pick you up tonight. I want to buy some clothes too.” Lin Yi said
He’d bought a few sets before, but they were not enough. He needed to buy more.
“Then it’s a deal.” Ji Qingyan beamed.
“Deal.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi leaned back in his chair. He was a fake boyfriend, but it was not good to go empty-handed. He had to bring some gifts.
What would an old man like?
Antique calligraphy?
That was a good choice.
At the same time, Tian Yan walked out of the Jericho company gracefully.
“Director Lin, I’ve taken care of everything.”
“You’ve restored my license too, right?”
“Yes, and I’ve also informed the company to give you the highest permission level within the app.”
“What’s the use of the highest permission level?”
“It’s just some auxiliary functions, but one of them is very practical. The user can search for your license plate number and specify the order, and then you can decide whether to accept it or not.”
“This function is quite practical.”
“It’s our honor to be praised by chairman Lin,” Tian Yan said politely.
“If you have any other questions, you can ask me. I’ll do my best to help you.”
“Then I do have something,” Lin Yi commented. “Do you know anything about antiques?”
“Antiques? Director Lin, are you going to give it as a gift?”
“Yes, an elder is celebrating his birthday. I’m planning to give him something.”
Tian Yan rolled her eyes and said.
“Director Lin, please wait a moment, I’ll make a call and ask about this.”
As she spoke, Tian Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and made a call outside the car. She only came back a few minutes later.
“Director Lin, is one of Zhang Daqian’s painting okay?”
Lin Yi was not a scholar, but he had heard of Zhang Daqian’s name.
Any painting of such an expert would cost at least ten million.
It wasn’t just a ‘yes’–it was a strong ‘yes’!
“You can get one of Daqian’s painting?” Lin Yi asked.
“Our President Cheng got a copy of Mr. Zhang’s ‘Painting of the Peach Blossom’ at the Sotheby’s auction house. I’ll get someone to send it over if you like it.” Tian Yan answered.
“Alright, how much is it? I’ll send it over to you,” Lin Yi said.
“Director Lin, you’re joking. How would I dare to take your money? As long as you like it, it’s yours.”
“No, a deal is a deal,” Lin Yi said.
“But I don’t think you would take it even if I gave you the money. Tell CEO Cheng that I’ll exchange 1% of my shares for his painting. No matter who comes out of the winner from this deal, at least the debt will be settled.”
“To u-use 1% of the shares to trade!”
Tian Yan was dumbfounded. With Didi’s current market value, 1% of the shares was worth at least 500 million dollars!
No matter how expensive the painting was, it couldn’t possibly be worth 500 million dollars.
This handsome and overbearing Director Lin was too generous!
“Yeah, let your boss know that I’ll be using this painting tomorrow. Yangcheng isn’t far from Zhong Hai. It should be delivered before noon tomorrow, right?”
“No problem, we’ll arrange for someone to send it over.”
“Get Someone to send it to the Peninsula Hotel and give it to one of Wang Tianlong’s men.” Lin Yi stretched lazily and said.
“If you have nothing else to do, you can go back too. There’s nothing for us to talk about. You guys can just stick to the original business model. I won’t interfere too much.”
Seeing how easy Lin Yi was to talk to, Tian Yan could not believe her ears.
It was a rare sight in the workplace for everyone to keep their jobs when a new boss walked in.
“Lin, our president wants to invite you to Yangcheng as a guest, so I….”
“Yangcheng...”
Lin Yi mumbled, “I’ll go there soon, but I’m not sure when. Go back first and wait for news from me. I’m just an ordinary person, so you don’t have to keep following me around.”
The orphanage he lived in was in Yangcheng, and Lin Yi had to go back.
It had been more than half a year since he graduated, and he had not been back yet. Something was not right.
“Then I’ll go back first. I won’t waste Director Lin’s precious time,” Tian Yan said with a smile. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om
“Okay.”
As she watched Lin Yi drive away, Tian Yan felt that Lin Yi was not somebody ordinary.
He was different from the other rich kids–he had a unique aura about him.
All of a sudden, Tian Yan felt her face burning up, and she jumped in shock.
“How could I have those kinds of feeling? That’s impossible...”
Ring, Ring, ring..
Just as Tian Yan was feeling nervous, her phone rang in her bag.
She was surprised to find that it was Lin Yi calling.
Tian Yan’s heart started beating rapidly.
They were done with business matters, but Director Lin was still calling her. Could it be for something else?
Tian Yan got even more nervous at the thought of it.
“Director Lin, you wanted to see me?”
“Pay for the fare just now. Remember to give me five stars and a good review.”
Tian Yan was a little flustered. “Okay, I’ll pay now.”
Soon, Lin Yi received a five-star review from Tian Yan on his phone.
He looked at the mission board again and realized that the completion rate was already at (9/10).
If he accepted one more mission and got a five-star review, the mission would be completed.
He looked at the time and realized that it was already noon. Thus, Lin Yi went back to the Peninsula Hotel lazily and had a meal on the side of the road, preparing to accept the mission.
In truth, Lin Yi did not care whether he accepted the remaining mission or not. He was going to look for Ji Qingyan at night anyway, so he just needed to continue milking this cow.
However, they were quite familiar with each other, and Lin Yi felt that it was better to practice moderation with her.
Therefore, he decided to use Ji Qingyan as a safety card.
“Time to accept the order. From the Wanda Plaza to the Peninsula Hotel.”
‘What a coincidence, I’m going to my own territory.’
Lin Yi didn’t think too much about it.
He headed toward Wanda Plaza according to the location on the map.
Wanda Plaza was bustling with activity. People were coming in and out of the plaza every day.
At that moment, a young man and woman walked out of the mall.
“Brother Fei, didn’t you buy a Porsche? Why didn’t I see it?” The woman said as she held onto the man’s arm.
“There were too many people here. I didn’t park here,” The man called Brother Fei said.
“If these poor people saw a luxury car like a Porsche, they would definitely crowd around and take photos. If they accidentally touched my car, my heart would ache.”
“You’re right. A luxury car like this, which costs millions, would definitely attract a crowd if it was parked in a public place.”
“Let’s go. I hope that when we leave later, we won’t attract a crowd,” Brother Fei said.
“Before you came to look for me, I had just parked my car when a group of girls came over to take photos. There were also quite a number of girls who wanted to ask me for my WeChat. If I hadn’t scolded them, they probably wouldn’t have let me go.”
“It’s normal for those girls to want to get close to you because you drive a Porsche.”
While they were talking, the two had already walked to the parking lot and found that there were many people standing in front of their car taking photos.
“How annoying. I parked my car so far away, but there are still so many people taking photos. These poor people haven’t seen the world.”
“Let’s go. We don’t need to pay any attention to them. Let’s get in the car and swallow these poor people up!”
“Okay, I’ll follow your plan.”
The two of them then walked toward the Panamera.
“What are you taking photos of? Stay away from my car. You can’t afford to damage it!”
“What are you yelling for? It’s just a Porsche, what’s there to be proud of?” Someone retorted.
“Hehe, this isn’t a cayenne, it’s a Panamera. I bet you guys can’t afford to eat or drink for the rest of your lives if you scratch it. Get away from my car!” Fei yelled.
“Hey, dude in front, your Porsche is blocking the road. Can you give way?” Lin Yi said.
