Chapter 1237: Unexpected Passion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Beichen could roughly guess Lin Yi’s personality by basing it on Lin Jingzhan.
They were both the type who didn’t like to be restrained. Even if you made it clear that you wouldn’t restrict them, you would still feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the best way to handle them was to let them be and allow them to do whatever they liked.
As long as Lin Yi could make some contributions, Lu Beichen would be able to profit.
“It’s embarrassing hearing you say that.”
Lin Yi could feel the kindness in Lu Beichen’s words, which made him a little embarrassed.
After all, he was one of the beneficiaries.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. The Central Guards Brigade is a free place to begin with. 1 have no need to restrict you.”
“Alright then.” Lin Yi poured a cup of tea for Lu Beichen and said.
“I can’t be sure of what happens in the future, but 1 don’t think my thoughts will change for the time being. I’ll help Team 1 as much as 1 can for the time being. However, 1 won’t be responsible for what happens next.”
“Haha… I’m relieved to hear that.” Lu Beichen smiled and said.
“When I first heard from Liu Hong that you were unwilling to meet me, 1 was wondering if you were unwilling to take on a bigger role in the Central Guards Brigade.”
“That’s not it. My hesitance was only because the fruits in my greenhouse were ripe. I’m in a hurry to sell them.” Lin Yi said.
“Now that I’ve brought everything to Yanjing, if I can’t sell it here, I’ll have to go back.”
“Kid, you’re really…” Lu Beichen smiled and said.
“This is the first time I’ve seen a billionaire selling fruits. However, Yanjing is no worse than Zhonghai. You’re smart for trying to sell the fruits here.”
“Don’t say that. If 1 continue selling at my initial price of 3,000 yuan for 5oog, I might not be able to sell everything.”
“Huh? A fruit that costs 3,000 yuan for soog? Is it made of gold? Did no one from the Industry and Commerce Department look for you?”
Lu Beichen was extremely surprised. Even the special fruits they ate could not be sold at this price.
“They came looking for me on my first day of business,” Lin Yi said.
“But Zhonghai is my territory. When people from the relevant departments come, 1 just need to tell them my name to shoo them off. But it’s not the same in Yanjing. There’s a real risk of being caught here, so 1 don’t like coming here.”
“It’s so expensive. It’ll be strange if they didn’t look for you.” Lu Beichen smiled and said.
“But I’m here, so just sell them boldly. I’ll protect you.”
Lin Yi chuckled. “That sounds good to me.”
“Wait for me to get someone to contact you. Don’t worry about this.”
“Got it.”
“Alright, that’s all for today. I’m going back to sleep.”
“Let me help you up.”
Lin Yi stood up, helped Lu Beichen up, and sent him home.
The person who opened the door for them was Lu Beichen’s wife, Song Yuzhen.
“This is…”
Looking at Lin Yi, Song Yuzhen felt a little unfamiliar. Judging from his attire, he didn’t look like Lu Beichen’s guard.
“This is Lin Yi, you talked for a while just now.”
“So, he’s Lin Yi.”
After knowing Lin Yi’s identity, Song Yuzhen’s expression became much kinder, her eyes filled with admiration.
“Come in and have a seat. I’m just about to buy some vegetables. You can leave after eating.”
Song Yuzhen’s enthusiasm was beyond Lin Yi’s expectations.
Moreover, her eyes were filled with love. Lin Yi couldn’t understand this at all.
The reason Song Yuzhen behaved this way was due to her relationship with his parents.
Furthermore, earlier in the morning, Qin Yingyue had called him, saying that she had returned to Yanjing and would visit him tomorrow.
All of these factors made Song Yuzhen particularly fond of Lin Yi.
“I won’t be eating. 1 have other things to do in the afternoon, so I’ll leave first.”
“If you’re busy, I won’t keep you. Come back when you’re free.”
“Sure thing.”
After a polite exchange of words, Lin Yi left, but he was still a little puzzled.
Why was she so polite to him when they were not related?
She was not being polite at all. She really wanted him to stay for dinner.
This was a little unreasonable.
Shaking his head, Lin Yi didn’t waste his brain cells on something he couldn’t figure out. It wasn’t a bad thing anyway.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Yi looked at the fruits in the car. They were all in good condition. They were not rotten, so he should not face any issues selling them.
The next step was to decide where to sell the fruits.
He wasn’t familiar with Yanjing. The only place he knew and had been to was Wangfujing Street.
Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of rich people there. It was suitable to go there.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello, is this Team Leader Lin?”
Team Leader Lin?
Lin Yi muttered to himself. Since this person called him that, he had to be an insider.
“That’s me.”
“Let me introduce myself first. I’m Zhang Baotian, Old Master Lu’s guard. The chief said that you have some fruits to sell and asked me to come over and help. Do you need me to do anything?”
“Hmm…”
Lin Yi thought for a moment. “I want to go to Wangfujing Street, but I don’t think I’m allowed to set up a stall there. Can you help me set up a stall?”
“That’s not a problem.” Zhang Baotian said.
“Let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll help you arrange it now. Drive to Wangfujing Street first. After the arrangements are made, 1’11 send you the location.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.”
“Not at all.”
After getting down to business, Lin Yi hung up.
Soon, the other party sent a friend request. After agreeing, he drove towards Wangfujing Street.
Just as he was about to arrive, he received a location on his phone. Lin Yi drove over according to the address and realized that it was the busiest part of Wangfujing Street.
On the side of the road was an army-green SUV. Next to it stood a person in casual clothes.
“Are you Zhang Baotian?” Lin Yi asked after getting out of the car.
“Yes!”
Zhang Baotian saluted. “I’ve asked around. This is the best spot on Wangfujing Street. There are plenty of people coming and going. You can’t go wrong setting up shop here.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Lin Yi turned around and packed a bag of fruits in the car. He took down a watermelon and handed it to Zhang Baotian.
“These are all grown without pesticides. Take them back and enjoy them.”
“Team Leader Lin, 1 can’t do that. I can’t take your goods.”
“It’s fine. Just eat it boldly. No one will come after you. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
Zhang Baotian smiled honestly and did not stand on ceremony with Lin Yi.
If he continued to argue, he would appear pretentious.
“Then I’ll be on my way. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
After exchanging a few more words with Lin Yi, Zhang Baotian got into the car and left.
However, he didn’t really go far. Instead, he drove the car into a side alley.
This was because the chief had already instructed that he might encounter problems at any time. Thus, he had to stay and help Lin Yi deal with them.
However, Lin Yi didn’t know about this.
After parking the car, Lin Yi unloaded the fruits from the car and officially opened for business.
Lin Yi’s appearance instantly caused a commotion on Wangfujing Street.
“Such a good-looking young man is selling fruits? Could this be a gimmick created by those internet celebrities to gain popularity?”
