Lin Yi squatted down and patted Yu Zhaoxi’s shoulder. He whispered in his ear,
“Actually, i came to Dongsan County to play. I’m not as noble as you think. There was no need for you to do this. Why did you have to play these tricks? I feel sorry that you ended up playing yourself to death.”
“You…”
Yu Zhaoxi looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. He suddenly had a lot to say, but the words were stuck in his throat.
“I’m not afraid to tell you, even if the top leader of Yuhang County came here, they would have to speak politely to me. Why would i be interested in something as small as Dongsan County? You really underestimated me.” Lin Yi smiled as he looked at Yu Zhaoxi.
“Learn from your mistakes so that you don’t repeat them in the future. There are some people you can’t afford to offend. I’m one of them.”
Soon, someone came to take Yu Zhaoxi and Zhou Feng away. Lin Yi and the other two returned to the office.
Wang Yunjiang called him to the office and gave him a few more instructions. Then, he made Lin Yi and Li Sijin go back to rest. They could be considered to have gotten the day off.
“Brother Lin, what’s the plan for tomorrow?”
Li Sijin asked after work.
“Well take the bus back to Zhonghai first, then take a plane to the northeast.” Lin Yi said, “Is there anything else you need to do?”
“Tingting is going to Zhonghai tomorrow too. Can she take our car?”
“Tingting?” Lin Yi paused. “Is that your rich friend?”
“Yes, that’s her,” Li Sijin said.
“Yesterday, the two of us talked on the phone, and 1 mentioned the business trip to the Northeast. She said she wanted to go to Zhonghai with us because she has a competition to participate in.”
“That’s fine; there’s enough room in the car anyway,” Lin Yi replied.
“But I’m curious – with her skill level, what kind of competition is she participating in?”
“I didn’t ask for the details, but it seems to be an important competition because she’s really excited about it.”
“It doesn’t matter to me. Just handle these logistics. How you want to coordinate this with her is up to you.”
“Thank you, Brother Lin.”
After sending Li Sijin off, Lin Yi returned to the hotel to rest.
Lin Yi briefly informed Ji Qingyan about his return to Zhonghai the next day, planning to have a date with her before his trip to the Northeast.
The next morning, the bus stopped at the entrance of the county building.
At ten o’clock in the morning, the participants rushed over one after another. They were all very punctual.
Lin Yi glanced at the people in the car. The oldest was in his forties, and the youngest was in his early twenties. They met his requirements for the training program.
If the people joining were in their seventies or eighties, it would defeat the purpose of hosting this training expedition.
After all, this was a proper training program and there were no free lunches. It was not suitable for older people to tag along with them.
“Director Lin, are you sure we don’t need to spend money on this trip?” A short-haired man said.
“We’ll pay for all the expenses, but if you want to go out to play or buy local specialties, we won’t reimburse you. You’ll have to pay for those yourself.”
Everyone laughed.
“That’s for sure. How could we ask you to pay for that? We still have common sense.”
“So are we taking the plane or the train?”
“By plane, of course. If we take the train to the Northeast, it’ll probably take us for a whole day and night.”
“I’ve never taken a plane in my life. When I go back, I’ll be the first person in our village to take a plane. Haha…”
“That’s right. We can go back and brag about it.”
Lin Yi also smiled and said,
“You can brag, but this is also a rare opportunity to learn. You have to listen carefully. If you don’t, you won’t get another chance in the future.”
“Don’t worry, Director Lin. I’m a representative sent by our family. Before 1 left, my wife had already said that if i didn’t learn the skills properly, she’d break my legs when i came back. I’ll definitely take this seriously.”
“Haha…”
Along the way, the atmosphere in the bus was especially cheerful.
Everyone laughed and quickly became familiar with each other.
There were even people who wanted to introduce a partner to Li Sijin, causing her face to turn red. It was as if they had already become friends.
After driving for about an hour, the bus arrived at Yuhang. Wang Ting got into the bus at the designated location.
Wang Ting’s appearance was still cool and stylish, just like before. At the same time, she did not seem overly masculine nor feminine.
Seeing Lin Yi, Wang Ting habitually rolled her eyes.
Lin Yi was speechless.
Was this woman crazy?
“You’re something else. You’re riding in Brother Lin’s car, yet you’re rolling your eyes at him.”
“Force of habit, I haven’t changed my habits yet.”
Lin Yi,”…”
“Oh right, i forgot to ask you. Didn’t you say that you were going to Zhonghai to participate in a competition? What kind of competition is it?”
Hearing this, Wang Ting became excited.
“I’m a member of Yuhang’s team for the Windchaser Cup Tournament Grand Prix.”
“Are you serious? Is it the kind of race you see on TV?”
Li Sijin was also a little surprised. She didn’t expect her best friend to participate in a competition of this level.
“It’s quite high-level, but what we do is more like a hobby, not professional. Still, it’s quite well-regarded among the general public.”
“Well, that’s still impressive. I’m free tonight, so 1 can accompany you to experience it.”
Wang Ting grinned and looked a bit proud. “Tonight, 1’11 take you to broaden your horizons.”
“Okay.”
With that, Li Sijin turned to look at Lin Yi.
“Brother Lin, are you going?”
“The fact that she can participate in this competition tells me how boring it’ll be. I’d rather stay at the hotel.”
“Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me?!” Wang Ting said.
“You drove a modified seven series and you couldn’t beat my stock 570. Don’t start shouting at me.”
“You’re acting like I’ve never raced before. You just used some cunning tricks to trick me, otherwise, I would have been 10 blocks ahead of you.”
“Hehe… you’re right.”
Lin Yi suddenly stopped refuting, leaving Wang Ting speechless and immediately extinguishing the fire.
About two hours later, the bus arrived at Zhonghai.
Following Lin Yi’s instructions, they stopped at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.
“Come on, get out of the car.”
After getting out of the car, the people in the car looked envious when they saw the magnificent Peninsula Hotel.
“Brother Lin, are we staying here today?”
“Yeah.”
“Isn’t it a little too extravagant? It’s at least five-star,” Li Sijin said.
Her initial idea was to find a simpler hotel. That way, she could save them a lot of money. She did not expect to be brought to a place like this instead.
“Since we’ve finally come out for a trip, we naturally need to find a comfortable place to stay. We shouldn’t make ourselves suffer.”
“Hehe, you’d better be careful. Your funds are limited. If you spend them on such useless things, what will we do when we go to the Northeast?”
“You’re really attentive and nitpick on everything. Aren’t you afraid of going through menopause before you’re thirty?”
“You’re the one who has menopause!” Wang Ting said.
“You don’t have to put on airs here. Let’s see what happens when you run out of money.”
At this moment, Wang Tianlong walked out with the hotel staff and stopped in front of Lin Yi.
“President Lin, you’re here..”
