"Free use..."
Zhang Xiaoning couldn’t believe her ears.
After several years of developnt, Moon Bay Beach and Wangjiang Dock have beco top tourist destinations in Zhong Hai.
Renting the venue is notoriously expensive.
Yet he said she could use it for free!
Such words coming from a courier seem very unreliable.
"I have no ill intentions towards you, but I find your words a bit exaggerated and hard to believe."
Lin Yi’s expression remained calm, as he casually took a business card from the table and said:
"This should be your business card, right?"
Zhang Xiaoning nodded.
Lin Yi took a picture of the business card with his phone and then called Bi Songjiang, the person in charge of Wangjiang Dock.
The conversation was straightforward, asking him to return Zhang Xiaoning’s call.
He also ntioned the free venue usage.
The rest was up to them to discuss.
"I’ve arranged for this matter, now it’s up to you to talk." Lin Yi said.
Zhang Xiaoning sized up Lin Yi, unsure what to say for a mont.
Although she’s older and runs a small company, she felt completely overshadowed by his presence.
The entire conversation flowed in his rhythm with no room for maneuvering.
If it were anyone else, Zhang Xiaoning would’ve ignored them, possibly even asked them to leave.
But in front of her, Lin Yi’s deanor didn’t match that of a courier at all.
Especially the words he just said, they were more like sothing a powerful figure would say.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Zhang Xiaoning’s phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
Upon answering, her expression imdiately changed, becoming respectful and polite.
As the conversation was brief due to its simplicity, it didn’t last long, just a few minutes.
But after hanging up, Zhang Xiaoning was unsure how to face Lin Yi.
Now she finally believed Lin Yi’s words, feeling a bit restless.
"He should have explained it clearly over the phone," Lin Yi said plainly:
"Now that the filming issue is resolved, it will boost your marketing. As for the pricing of your goods, you should know yourself, so whether to cooperate with us or not is up to you."
"Cooperate!"
Zhang Xiaoning imdiately decided.
Even though cooperating would increase her costs every year, the free venue would save so advertising fees.
Raising the price a little could increase profits, making it beneficial in any way.
"Let’s sign the agreent, and it’s settled."
"Okay, I’ll draft the agreent now."
Since she had a template ready on her computer, Zhang Xiaoning quickly printed the agreent, checked for issues, and both signed their nas.
The cooperation was smoothly finalized.
After completing the necessary tasks, Lin Yi prepared to leave.
At this mont, Zhang Xiaoning stood up.
"Mr. Lin Yi, are you free tonight?"
Unknowingly, Zhang Xiaoning changed the form of address for Lin Yi.
"Is there anything else?"
"It’s nothing, just want to treat you to dinner."
"I have things to do tonight, let’s skip dinner, I’ll be leaving."
Lin Yi left without turning back, leaving Zhang Xiaoning standing there, constantly examining herself.
"Aren’t younger guys supposed to like older sisters nowadays?"
"Am I losing my charm, even with my figure?"
Exiting Zhang Xiaoning’s office, a system alert echoed in Lin Yi’s mind.
[Task completed: Reward of 100,000 Master level driving skills.]
[Job completion rate: 20%, reward of 1 billion in cash.]
"More damn money." Lin Yi cursed, "I don’t want more money."
Sighing, Lin Yi prepared to find Xu Wen and took the elevator to the 14th floor.
After exiting the elevator, Lin Yi didn’t go elsewhere.
Firstly, he didn’t know where Xu Wen was, and secondly, waiting for her here after their talk made more sense.
But just then, Lin Yi heard a faint scream.
The voice seed to belong to Xu Wen.
If it were anyone else, this faint sound would be inaudible.
But with Lin Yi’s keen hearing, he identified the source.
To his left!
Quickening his pace, Lin Yi ran to his left, stopping in front of room 1409.
The shouting beca louder here, and Xu Wen’s voice was clearer.
Lin Yi grabbed the doorknob, channeling all his strength into his arms, forcefully pulling until the lock splintered.
The two people inside were stunned; Xu Wen was pinned against the wall by a middle-aged man.
Her hair was ssy, and the strap of her dress had slipped to one side, revealing the strap of her undergarnt on her shoulder.
"Lin Yi!"
Xu Wen scread, taking advantage of the man’s distraction, she ran to stand behind Lin Yi.
"You dare ruin my plan, you’re looking for trouble!"
The middle-aged man fud and charged towards Lin Yi.
With a casual wave, Lin Yi deflected the man’s punch, grabbing his hair and pulling down, delivering a knee strike to his face.
Ah—
The man clutched his face, wailing, with blood everywhere and a crooked nose.
"Looking like this and pulling such a stunt, you won’t amount to much." Lin Yi sighed, feeling this behavior was incredibly disgraceful in a harmonious society.
"Let’s go." Lin Yi took Xu Wen’s hand, leading her to the elevator unhurriedly.
"Hurry, he’ll catch up soon." Xu Wen urged.
"Don’t panic," Lin Yi said calmly:
"If he dares to catch up, I’ll break his neck."
Xu Wen paused, recalling the recent events.
Lin Yi seed skilled in fighting.
As predicted, the middle-aged man didn’t follow, and the two rode the elevator down leisurely and exited the apartnt.
The glaring sunlight outside eased Xu Wen’s gloom significantly.
"How do you plan to handle this? Should we report it now?"
Xu Wen hesitated, eventually saying:
"Let’s just forget it."
"Hmm? Forget it?"
Xu Wen nodded, "Since you arrived in ti, I wasn’t hard, let’s not pursue it."
"But this attempt alone could get him in serious trouble."
"I’m just an ordinary person; stability is my main concern," Xu Wen sighed:
"If this blows up, word of mouth could distort the story, making it impossible for to stay here."
