Chapter 231: Thank You For Coming, Everyone
It turns out he had just been bragging.
“There’s no need to do that. There’s nothing much to do,” Lin Yi said. “I’m planning to go out to sea later. There’ll be about twenty people. Prepare a big ship.”
“Got it, Boss Lin. I’ll get someone to arrange it now.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi put his phone on the table and said with a smile, “Everything’s settled. Let’s go over after dinner.”
“Mr. Lin, I didn’t know you were so close to Manager Bi at Wangjiang Dock,” Qian Xu complimented.
“He’s my subordinate. How could I not be close?”
“What? Subordinate?!”
“That’s right, Wangjiang Dock is my business, so of course he’s my subordinate,” Lin Yi said. “Do you have any questions?”
Hiss...
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they learned Lin Yi’s identity.
“Didn’t you say that you’re running a small business?”
“Wangjiang Dock isn’t that big, right? I only go there when I’m free, and I usually leave it to my subordinates.
“I don’t have time to take care of it...”
Everyone’s eyes widened as goosebumps appeared all over their bodies!
Just how big was his business, to the point where he didn’t have time to take care of it?
Song Jia stared at Lin Yi with question marks hanging over her head.
In turns out Vice-President Lin was really rich, and there was no need to pretend!
“Look at this mess.” Qian Xu raised his glass and stood up with a smile, “Jiajia, it’s been so long since you graduated, and you’re still the same. You’ve always been so low-key, and you actually found such a powerful boyfriend. We won’t be able to reach such heights in our lives.”
“Everyone, raise your wine glasses. Let’s toast to Mr. Lin,” the boy named Haozi said,
“If it weren’t for Mr. Lin today, we wouldn’t have had the chance to go to Wangjiang Dock to play.”
“That’s right. With Jiajia’s connections, in the future, we can get a discount if we want to go,” Old Sun said.
“Sure, sure.”Lin Yi said.
After learning Lin Yi’s real identity, the focus of the dinner fell on him and Song Jia.
Li Xueru and Gao Renxing didn’t even get a chance to interrupt. They were so angry that their teeth were itching.
They finally held a class reunion just to show off, but they didn’t expect to upstaged by someone else!
About two hours later, Gao Renxing said,
“Xueru, I can’t eat here anymore. Let’s go.”
“Yes, but don’t forget to pay the bill,” Li Xueru said in a low voice,
“Although her boyfriend is rich, I have to tell the others that my man is not bad either! I must not let them look down on me!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you regain your face!”
Li Xueru nodded, then coughed a few times and said,
“I think the meal is almost done, so I’ll leave first.”
“Xueru? What’s the matter?” Qian Xu asked.
Li Xueru smiled, “You all know that my boyfriend’s company is very busy. Recently, he has a few projects that are worth tens of millions of dollars, so he has to go back.”
“Alright, you guys go first. We will chat with Mr. Lin for a while, and we won’t hold you up.”
“Uh...”
Xueru looked embarrassed. These people were too snobbish!
“Why don’t we call it a day? I have other things to talk about too. Let’s meet again another day.” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Alright, alright, alright. Mr. Lin has a lot of things to deal with every day. His time is much more precious than us. Let’s meet again another day. We must sit down and have a drink.”
“No problem.”
Lin Yi spoke, and the others no longer wanted to eat anymore. They packed their things and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Xueru looked at Gao Renxing. The latter understood and said,
“Waiter!”
A few seconds later, a waitress in uniform walked in. “Sir, how can I help you?”
“How much is the bill?” Gao Renxing asked.
“It’s just a meal. I don’t need you to pay for it,” Lin Yi said.
“How can that be? I’m the one who arranged the meal. We’ll pay for it,” Li Xueru said.
“Although the Peninsula Hotel is high-class, we can still afford it with our conditions.”
“I don’t doubt your spending ability. I just don’t think it’s necessary. We’re all on the same side.”
“It’s because we’re on the same side that we’re treating you.” Li Xueru said, “We’ve been classmates for so many years. It’s no big deal for treat us to you all to a meal.”
“Alright then. Since you insist, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
“What’s there to stand on ceremony for? It won’t cost much.”
Gao Renxing took out his bank card. “If it’s not enough, just swipe the card.”
“Sir, your total is 56,800 dollars.”
Lin Yi looked at the waiter. “Tell the front desk to give us a 20% discount. We’re all on the same side, so don’t charge the usual price.”
“Got it, Boss Lin,” the waiter said.
“What? Boss Lin?!”
Everyone was dumbfounded again, not understanding what was going on.
“I forgot to tell you guys just now. The Peninsula Hotel is also my business. Thank you for your support.”
Song Jia’s head was buzzing. The Peninsula Hotel was actually Vice-President Lin’s?!
What, what was going on?
There was a rich second generation hiding by her side?
How did she come across something like this?
“You... you said the Peninsula Hotel is yours too?” Xueru’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yeah, otherwise they wouldn’t call me Boss Lin.” Lin Yi smiled.
“You came to my business, and I didn’t want you to spend your money, but I didn’t expect you to give me so much face. I’ll just have to do as you say.”
Xueru felt her face burning.
Although she’d bought the meal herself, this hotel belonged to Song Jia’s boyfriend!
Not only had she spent the money, but she’d also been slapped in the face!
How could she let him live?
Lin Yi stood up and patted Song Jia on the shoulder. “Let’s go. It’s time to go back.”
“Oh, oh.”
Song Jia’s mind was blank. She still hadn’t reacted.
What the hell was going on?!
Lin Yi and Song Jia left the hotel under everyone’s praise.
The trip to the sea was canceled. Since Lin Yi wasn’t going,what was the point of going on their own?
Li Xueru and Gao Renxing could only follow behind quietly. They had lost enough face already, and they just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.
After leaving the hotel, Gao Renxing pressed the car key, and the Porsche’s headlights lit up. Everyone looked on with envy.
“Xueru, this car of yours should be a Porsche Panamera, right? It should cost more than two million dollars.”
“Indeed, it should be more than two million dollars, but don’t be envious. Jiajia’s boyfriend is so rich, so he must have something better than our car.”
When everyone heard that, they found that it made sense.
“Jiajia, your boyfriend is so rich, so your car should be worth more than ten million dollars, right?” Qian Xu said with a smile.
“Huht? I drive an A6.”
“A6?”
Everyone looked at Song Jia in disbelief. “No way, an A6 is only half a million dollars. With your status, driving this car is a bit cheap.”
Li Xueru rolled her eyes and said, “Jiajia is still as frugal as when she was in school.”
“That’s true. Because she worked in school, she didn’t want to be too high-profile, so she bought an Audi A6. The Koenigsegg I bought for is only occasionally taken out.”
“Koenigsegg?!” Everyone exclaimed.
“That’s right.”
Lin Yi took out the car keys. “To be honest, it’s not comfortable to drive a sports car. It’s really not as luxurious as some of these brands. I’ll buy a Porsche when I have time. I really don’t want to drive a sports car anymore.”
