The two won were both dumbfounded by Lin Yi’s words.
"They’ve already signed the contract, how can you snatch it? The penalty for breaking such a project contract is astronomical."
"You don’t need to worry about that. Just go back and wait for news."
After leaving that ssage, Lin Yi walked outside and got back into the car.
The two won also realized that this wasn’t the place for a detailed conversation.
After getting in the car and away from outsiders, Chen Lin continued to ask:
"Stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us how you handled it. Do we still have a chance?"
"There’s certainly a chance, and you don’t need to worry."
Chen Lin felt suspicious, but since Lin Yi said that, she didn’t press further.
"Alright, stop listening to his excuses. The contract’s signed; how can it be changed? You can’t be serious." Xu Chen said with a stern face:
"Take so ti to study other locations so we can finalize one quickly. The headquarters is still waiting for news."
"Got it."
Chen Lin sighed silently, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Soon, Lin Yi drove back to the shop, and Xu Chen returned to the hotel.
"No matter what, she’s the Deputy Director from headquarters. We have to give her so respect."
"But the problem is, she always looks at through tinted glasses. I need to prove myself."
"Even if you want to prove yourself, there’s no need to use this thod. The land’s already rented; it’s a done deal."
"That’s not how you should see it. Except for people coming back to life, everything else can be changed."
"Co on, stop trying to fool . I don’t believe it."
"Believe it or not, let’s make a bet."
"Sure, if I lose, I’ll wear black stockings for you."
"That’s what you said. I won’t be polite."
"Don’t get too happy. It’s still early days."
Chen Lin rubbed her temples and said:
"I don’t even know if there’s another suitable place nearby. If delayed too long, the expansion plan might fall through."
"Don’t worry about that. Focus on your work."
Lin Yi turned to leave, and Chen Lin looked at his back, curling her lips unconsciously.
Feeling like he was the general manager and she was the secretary.
That afternoon, Lin Yi’s work went as usual.
Back ho, he found his mother-in-law playing with the child, and Ji Qingyan trying on clothes.
"Co quickly and check out these clothes I bought, give so opinions."
Seeing a dozen items on the floor, Lin Yi asked curiously:
"Why did you buy so many all at once?"
"We’re going to see Elder Lu in a few days. I felt the previous clothes were too frivolous, not formal at all."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel amused, "As long as they don’t show too much skin, it should be fine. Why so much fuss?"
"Given their status, and now that I’m married to you, everything I do represents your dignity. I can’t embarrass you."
"You’re overthinking it. No matter the occasion, whenever President Ji stands there, she’s dazzling—how could there be embarrassnt?"
"You just know how to sweet-talk." Ji Qingyan said:
"But dressing appropriately is basic etiquette. After all, we’re considered a wealthy family now. Isn’t that right?"
"You’ve got a point there."
"Quickly, quickly, help choose with your eye."
"Skip the dresses; I think those work pants look good." Lin Yi comnted:
"Don’t pick heels that are too high; no heels would be best."
"My height is fine; I can bring out the clothes without heels."
"That’s why President Ji is outstanding."
"You’re good with words, I’ll choose this set." Ji Qingyan said with satisfaction:
"The only thing left is the gift selection. I’ve been thinking for days and don’t know what to bring."
"Whatever you bring won’t matter." Lin Yi said:
"The thoughtful gift you select might not even be as good as what they throw in the trash."
"What do you usually bring?"
"A box of pure milk and a box of apples; with Jing City’s prices, it’s settled for 150 bucks. Zhong Hai is similar."
"You give them this?"
"Yeah, but every ti I get scolded. I’m thick-skinned, so I don’t mind."
"That’s not okay. I’m thin-skinned. I’d feel embarrassed if Elder Lu is even slightly displeased." Ji Qingyan said:
"Though they lack nothing, I still want to buy sothing valuable."
"Then bring sothing extra."
"What?"
"Call mom, ask her to make so beef sauce and chili sauce, then mail it over, and take it with us."
"Will that work?"
"He likes it, trust ."
"Got it."
As the days drew near, Ji Qingyan’s tension visibly increased.
She nestled in a corner of the sofa, secretly researching sothing, like plotting a covert operation.
The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual.
Due to his livestream fa, many people ca daily, seeking Lin Yi’s opinion on cars.
Even though he wasn’t often working, his sales hadn’t dropped much.
Around 10 o’clock in the morning, after handling the first wave of custors, he saw Chen Lin’s secretary standing on the second floor.
"Lin Yi, co here."
After speaking, she pointed to Chen Lin’s office, the aning clear.
"Alrighty."
Lin Yi went upstairs to Chen Lin’s office and found Xu Chen there too.
"I’ve got good news. Their signed contract has an issue; the asured area is inaccurate, and they might have to resign."
"See what I said? Opportunities co to those prepared."
"Feels like God is really looking after us this ti, to have such a thing happen." Chen Lin said:
"Normally, even if the asured area is off, such things rarely occur."
Lin Yi nodded, smiling, "I bet many others know this news too; let’s get there quickly and try to seize the chance."
"I think so too, let’s go together. Chairman Xu ntioned needing to check other places; let her get on with other things and not hold her up."
Xu Chen was initially in a good mood but hearing Lin Yi’s words, her face instantly hardened.
"What do you an! You’re intentionally annoying !"
"That’s what you said—they already signed, we have no chance and need to look elsewhere—I don’t want to waste your ti."
Xu Chen was fuming, speechless.
"I’ll wait for you in the car and head over shortly."
After speaking, Lin Yi left the office.
Xu Chen gnashed her teeth.
"How did you hire such an employee! I’m furious!"
"Take it out on him." Chen Lin said with a laugh:
"Is it because he’s too handso that even being angry, you can’t do anything?"
