n

nZhang Jingjing didn’t say anything in response. Her mother had a point.

n

nA house in Zhong Hai was so expensive that it could easily cost tens of millions. With Lin Yi’s salary, it would be difficult to ever buy a house in Zhong Hai.

n

nMoreover, his shabby Shari was indeed a little cheap.

n

nThese were all real problems, and she had to face reality.

n

nKnock, Knock, knock.

n

nJingjing put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.

n

n“Lin Bro, you’re here.”

n

nLin Yi nodded. “Where’s Your mom? I’m here to deliver the rent.”

n

nJinlan followed from behind.

n

n“It’s just rent. You just need to transfer the money. There’s no need to ask for leave to pass it to me.”

n

nShe didn’t think much of Lin Yi in private, but after meeting him, Jinlan found him polite and collected.

n

n“I didn’t ask for leave. The company let me go, so I’ll be a free man from now on,” Lin Yi said.

n

nJinlan’s heart skipped a beat.

n

nLin Yi was fired from the company. If he continued to stay here, how was he going to pay the rent in the future?

n

nWith a beep, Jinlan’s WeChat suddenly rang. She saw that Lin Yi had transferred 4,000 yuan to her.

n

n“The rent is 2,000 yuan. Why did you transfer 4,000 yuan to me?”

n

n“I owe you 18 days worth of rent. I’ll pay for two months in advance. However, I won’t be staying here anymore.” Lin Yi said

n

n“You won’t be staying here anymore?” Jinlan asked

n

nWhen Wu Jinlan heard this, not only was she not reluctant to part with him, she was even a little happy.

n

nThis way, she would be able to find a richer tenant who would pay the rent on time.

n

n“Yeah, I’m not going to be staying here anymore, I just came back to pack my things. I’m leaving now.” Lin Yi said

n

n“I’m sorry, I overcharged you by almost a thousand dollars.” Wu Jinlan said

n

nLin Yi didn’t want to hit the smiling face. After all, he was so generous, and Jinlan was also being a lot more polite right now.

n

nThey had known each other for so long, and they still had a little bit of affection toward each other.

n

n“It’s fine. I’m sorry for always being late with your rent.” Lin Yi said

n

n“Jingjing, don’t be idle. Help your brother Lin with his work.” Wu Jinlan quickly snapped.

n

nAlthough she despised Lin Yi for being poor, she still thought highly of his character.

n

nHe didn’t even live here anymore, yet he gave her an extra thousand dollars. Thus, she had to do some superficial work and could not be too cold toward him.

n

n“Alright, I’ll go change.” Lin Yi said

n

nLin Yi did not have anything to pack. The most precious thing was the quilt he had brought out from the orphanage.

n

nIt was not anything valuable, but it meant a lot to him.

n

nHe could buy a new version of everything else, but he had to take the quilt with him.

n

nLin Yi carried the two sets of quilt in his arms as Wu Jinlan and Zhang Jingjing helped him bring the other little things downstairs for him.

n

nIt was a good thing that the deal didn’t work out. Money aside, Wu Jinlan still had a bit of humanity left in her.

n

n“Lin Yi, you got fired from the company. What are you planning to do in the future?” Jinlan asked as she walked downstairs.

n

n“I’m driving for Didi. That way, I shouldn’t starve to death.”

n

nJinlan and her mother looked at each other, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.

n

nHer mother’s words made sense.

n

nOne had to be realistic in a relationship. If one didn’t have a stable income, how could one live in the future?

n

n“Mom, look, there’s a supercar parked downstairs!”

n

nZhang Jingjing yelled when she saw the silver sports car parked downstairs.

n

nUnfortunately, she was car-blind. She didn’t know anything other than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.

n

nStill, judging from the shape of the car, she knew that it was a sports car. It definitely wasn’t cheap.

n

n“That’s weird. Who can afford to drive a sports car here in this old neighborhood?” Wu Jinlan muttered.

n

nObviously, she knew that this car wasn’t cheap.

n

n“Lin Yi, Where’s your car? I don’t see it anywhere.”

n

nJinlan looked around for a while, but she didn’t see Lin Yi’s shabby Shari.

n

n“I’m not driving the Shari anymore. I’ve swapped to this car.”

n

nLin Yi pressed the car key, and the Pagani’s gullwing door opened, giving Jinlan and Jingjing a fright.

n

n“W-what did you say? This is your car?” Jingjing asked, her mouth agape.

n

n“Huh? I just changed it today,” Lin Yi said.

n

n“This car isn’t cheap, is it?”

n

n“It’s not bad, it cost more than 20 million.”

n

nLin Yi put everything in the passenger seat as he spoke, clearly relaxed.

n

n“L-Lin Yi, when did you get so rich? Aren’t you just a salaried worker?”

n

n“Working was just to experience life,” Lin Yi joked, “Now, I’m going to pretending, I’m actually a rich second generation.”

n

nAfter this, Lin Yi got into the driver’s seat and left.

n

nSeeing Lin Yi’s disappearing taillights, Zhang Jingjing was in a bad mood.

n

n“Mom, isn’t Lin Yi an orphan? He said his parents died a long time ago. How did he become a rich second generation?”

n

n“Maybe he robbed his parents’ graves.”

n

n“You said Lin Yi was poor and didn’t want us to be together. Now that he’s rich, can we…”

n

n“Don’t think about those useless things.” Wu Jinlan replied.

n

n“He wasn’t good enough for you in the past, but you’re not good enough for him now. It has nothing to do with you anymore. Go home and study.”

n

n..

n

nHalf an hour later, Lin Yi drove to the Peninsula Hotel and met Wang Tianlong in the lobby.

n

n“President Lin, the presidential suite has been prepared.”

n

nOn the way back, Lin Yi had already told Tianlong about the matter.

n

nHe was going to stay in the hotel for a few days, and he would buy a house when he had time.

n

nLin Yi nodded. “Help me carry the things in the car and bring some food over. I’ve been working all day, I’m starving.”

n

n“Got it, Boss Lin. I’ll make the arrangements right away.”

n

nTianlong was very efficient, and everything was arranged for in less than half an hour.

n

nAfter dinner, Lin Yi took a bath and enjoyed the pleasures of being rich.

n

nRing, Ring, Ring..

n

nThe phone on the side rang. It was Wang Ying, his ex-colleague.

n

nWang Ying was four years older than Lin Yi. She was a beautiful young lady.

n

nShe took good care of Lin Yi at work, but no one knew if she had other motives.

n

n“Sis Wang, did you want to speak to me?” Lin Yi asked politely.

n

n“Yi, your colleagues are reluctant to part with you after you left. They want to have dinner together as a way to send you off.”

n

n“Thank you, Sis Wang. You can book the place. It’s my treat.” Lin Yi said generously.

n

n“I said I’m sending you off. How can I let you spend your money?” Wang Ying answered, “I’ll see you at the usual place at 5:30 pm.”

n

nThe so-called ‘usual place’ was not the name of the restaurant, but rather, a restaurant called Yi Pin Ju.

n

nIt was where all the department dinners were held, and they always referred it as ‘the usual place’.

n

n“Okay, I got it. I’ll definitely be there on time.”

n

n“Okay, that’s all for now. I’ll see you there.”

n

nAfter hanging up, Lin Yi looked at his watch. He still had two more hours to enjoy himself.

n

nAt that moment, a WeChat message popped up on Lin Yi’s phone. It was from Ji Qingyan.

n

n“We’re almost done. Can you pick me up? I’m still staying at the construction bureau.”

n

n“Of course,” Lin Yi replied. “I’ll be there in thirty minutes.”

n

nThe system reward was given to him by running orders. Now that he had a job, he had to accept it.

n

nTime to work!

n

nAwesome!
