Chapter 579 - 579 Beautiful and Smart
She was wearing a V-neck woman’s half-sleeve shirr, a pair of gray pants, and a pair of boots. She looked like a mature and refined woman.
After not seeing her for so many days, Ji Qingyan was still as beautiful as ever. Everywhere she stood turned into a beautiful scene.
“Huh? How did you know I was here?”
At this moment, Lin Yi was acting like an Oscar-winning actor.
Surprise, shock, disbelief, joy, and more than twenty other complicated expressions appeared on his face.
He could be said to be the top figure in the microexpression world.
“I was shopping here and happened to pass by. Then, I saw you.”
Ji Qingyan was also very calm, but her expression betrayed her.
This place was the commercial street of the university. Other than restaurants, there was only the night market here. What was she shopping for?
“I haven’t from you in so many days I thought you went missing.”
“Maybe I was giving you some time to deal with your complicated relationships.”
Ji Qingyan held her head high, her tsundere ponytail raised into a beautiful arc.
“What’s wrong? Are you on your period?” Lin Yi said speechlessly.
“I just travelled with my colleagues and was doing my own thing. What could happen between to us? Moreover, she’s already clarified this matter. How can you still suspect me?”
“In that case, don’t you know how to avoid arousing suspicion?” Ji Qingyan argued.
She already believed that Lin Yi wouldn’t fool around with other women.
She was just a little angry that he hadn’t looked for her for so many days.
“A righteous person isn’t afraid of a crooked shadow,” Lin Yi said, “Besides, didn’t I resign? I just didn’t want someone to be jealous.”
Ji Qingyan flicked her ponytail. “I’m not jealous.”
“That’s right.” Lin Yi said.
“Think about it. Even if I was fooling around with another woman, it’s probably because I got tired of you. We’ve been stuck at the kissing stage, and I’ve not even gotten to second base yet. What is there to even fool around with?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
Ji Qingyan skillfully grabbed the soft flesh on Lin Yi’s waist and pinched it. “There are so many people here. Can’t you be more serious?”
“I’m telling the truth.”
“Then why haven’t you been looking for me these past few days?” Ji Qingyan was displeased. “If I hadn’t looked for you, would you have abandoned me?”
“I’ve been dealing with Huayin Group for the past few days. I just finished work today and was thinking of picking you up from work tonight.”
“Even if you didn’t have time to see me, you could have called. You just didn’t want to look for me.”
“I can’t contact you at such a tense time. If they dig up my phone records, they’ll find out that we’re related. If they secretly attack Chaoyang Group, you won’t be able to withstand it, so I had to attract all the firepower to myself,” Lin Yi said.
“Sigh, the past few days have been too difficult. If you can help me deal with the company’s matters, Zhao Mo and the others definitely won’t be able to last long. It’s difficult for two fists to fight four hands. In the end, I’m the one who took on everything.”
There was a hint of guilt on Ji Qingyan’s face.
“I’m being petty.”
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault.” Lin Yi said, “You’re not happy about this, so it’s normal for you to be jealous.”
“Are you really not angry?”
“Who am I supposed to be angry at? I can’t be angry with you, right?”
Muah.
Ji Qingyan planted a kiss on Lin Yi’s cheek. “This is your reward.”
“Don’t kiss my face all the time. There’s still a mouth. You have to distribute it evenly.”
“That’s good enough. What if someone sees this?” Ji Qingyan looked around and changed the topic. “Is this the shop you’re opening?”
“Yes, I’ve bought everything. I’m preparing to clean up. After a simple cleaning, I’ll be able to open for business.”
“Let’s do it together.”
“No, I’ll do it. Otherwise, you’ll be covered in dust.”
“Isn’t that bound to happen when you’re working?” Ji Qingyan laughed heartily. “By the way, the way you rode your tricycle just now was so comical.”
“I’ll take you for a ride later. Do you want to try it?”
“Sure.”
“Won’t you be embarassed?”
“It’s alright. I think it’s quite interesting. I’ve never sat on one before,” said Ji Qingyan. “But I have to finish the work at hand first.”
The two of them carried out everything in the tricycle.
Ji Qingyan looked around. “The renovation work done here is pretty good.”
“I called Wang Tianlong and asked him to get someone to clean it up, but the tables and chairs have to be replaced.”
“That depends on what style you prefer.”
“The customer’s here aren’t high-income. You can treat this like a normal salaryman restaurant. Although you don’t lack money, you still have to control the cost. It won’t be good if you can’t make ends meet.”
Ji Qingyan was a typical businessman. No matter how much money she had in her pocket, she would always work hard to earn more.
“That’s true, but there’s no point in doing the same thing as everyone else.” Lin Yi took out the menu. “Look, I already set the price.”
“Huh? What are you thinking? A plate of egg-fried ricecosts 189 yuan? Who can afford this? Even the egg-fried rice at the Peninsula Hotel is not that expensive.”
“Exactly.” Lin Yi looked at her. “You can eat my food for free, but others have to pay a price.”
“Let’s be serious,” Ji Qingyan replied sheepishly.
“I still think that the price of 189 is a little expensive. Other than that, the other items are also ridiculously expensive. The students around here don’t have much money.”
“What you’re saying makes sense.”
Lin Yi was helpless. He didn’t want to set such a high price.
‘It was the fucking system that forced me.’
“If that makes sense, why are you still doing this?” Ji Qingyan retorted.
“I think you just want to hide yourself and not entertain the guests.”
“If it really doesn’t work, I might have to sell my body.”
She slammed the table. “How dare you?!”
“Then what should I do? I don’t want to change the price,” Lin Yi said, “You’re the lady boss, you should think of a way to solve it.”
Ji Qingyan was in a great mood when she heard him address her as Lady Boss.
“Then, we can only take the high-end route.”
“Change all the tables and chairs to the luxurious kind and use the best ingredients available. For example, for this egg-fried rice, in addition to eggs and rice, sea cucumbers and abalones can be added. You can also launch a set meal and give a soup and drink along with it. In short, add all the goodies to it to make your guest feel that it’s worth it.”
Ji Qingyan’s words gave Lin Yi a new idea. This seemed feasible!
Lin Yi pinched Ji Qingyan’s face, which was as soft as dough. “This will work. Why didn’t I think of it?”
“Hmph, it’s because I’m beautiful and smart. Hurry up and praise me.”
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re so so beautiful and smart. Come, let me kiss you. I’ll give you a reward.”
