Chapter 255: Show Off Again

Qu Nan frowned, his expression unfriendly.

Taking 2,000 dollars and asking him to leave for ten minutes was already quite a lot. He was actually asking for 50,000 dollars. Who gave him the courage?!

“Sir, there is a limit to everything. I hope you have some self-awareness,” Qu Nan said.

“50,000 dollars is not too much. I see that you guys are spending money and also have diamond rings. I’m guessing you want to confess to some girl. If you can’t even give up this little money, how are you going to woo her?”

“You sure know how to judge the situation, Kid. I’ll give you 50,000 to pay you to get out of here!” Zhao Zhengyang suddenly said.

“No problem.” Lin Yi chuckled. “I can tell that you’re a bright person. No wonder you’re the boss. You’re much better than your men.”

“I like people like you who can talk.”

Zhao Zhengyang took out his checkbook and wrote a string of zeros before handing it over to Lin Yi.

“You should be satisfied now, right?”

“Boss, I see that you have a full heaven, a square earth, a ruddy complexion, and an excellent temperament. Today is a prosperous day for you, so a small matter like wooing a girl should be a piece of cake for you.”

“Haha, your eyesight is pretty good.” Zhao Zhengyang said with a smile. “You’ve taken the money too. Let’s go now. Don’t delay my business.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll be far away. I wish you success in your courtship!”

Lin Yi took the check and left, heading towards the sky garden.

“Yo, whose handsome guy is this? He’s so handsome.”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in front of Ji Qingyan. She was slightly chubby and her eyes were filled with admiration.

“He’s really not bad. The suit on him is even more tantalizing than the fresh meat on TV.” Another tall woman said.

Ji Qingyan turned around when she heard the conversation between her two friends. She was surprised to find that it was Lin Yi they were speaking about.

Was he bored down there? Did he come looking for her?

She had indeed made him wait for a long time.

“Lin Yi, you’re here,” Ji Qingyan said apologetically. “It’s been a long time since we last met, so we just talked for a while.”

Lin Yi walked over with a smile and put his arm around her waist.

“It’s nothing. I just came to see you.”

“Yo yo yo, so this handsome little guy is here to see you.” The chubby woman said.

“I knew it. Among all the women here, Qingyan is the only one worthy of thishandsome little guy.”

“Oh my, Sister Zheng, what are you talking about?” Qingyan’s face was red. It wasn’t because they were joking, but because Lin Yi had his arm around her waist.

It was too embarrassing with so many people watching.

This guy was getting more and more daring.

“Alright, alright, you two head down first.” The woman called Sister Zheng said,

“The charity banquet is about to start. We’ll go down too. Let’s talk about business another day.”

Ji Qingyan nodded shyly. “Sister Zheng, Sister Xiao, we’ll head down first.”

“Okay, go on.”

The woman called Sister Zheng waved her hand and smiled as she watched Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan leave.

At the same time, Zhao Zhengyang and Qu Nan stared at Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan with their mouths agape.

“What’s going on?! Why did that man take Ji Qingyan Away? !”

“I… I don’t know either!” Qu Nan said in confusion!

“Damn it, we were played by him!” Zhao Zhengyang said in exasperation, “He already knew that the person I was going to chase was Ji Qingyan, and he actually played this trick on me!”

Thinking of the incident just now, Zhao Zhengyang could not help but get angry!

And he even gave him 50,000 dollars!

He was played like a fool!

“Director Zhao, what should we do about this? Are we just going to let it go?” Qu Nan asked.

“Look at that smooth-talking face of his. He’s obviously a gigolo,” Zhao Zhengyang said.

“The charity banquet will start soon. We can’t let him delay our matter. I’ll deal with him when I have the chance!”

…

After leaving the hanging garden, Lin Yi held onto Ji Qingyan and walked down the stairs.

“Teacher Lin, there’s no one here anymore. You’ve been clutching onto me for so long. Can you let go?”

Ji Qingyan didn’t mind letting Lin Yi hold her, but she was a little embarrassed.

“Keep your voice down, we have to continue acting. Hold on a little longer.”

“Huh? What acting?” Ji Qingyan asked curiously.

“I was waiting for you at the coffee shop on the second floor. A retard wanted to go after a woman and gave me fifty thousand dollar. He told me to leave as soon as possible so that I wouldn’t get in their way. I listened to him and left with the money,” Lin Yi said honestly.

With Ji Qingyan’s intelligence, she was able to see through it easily.

“Was the girl he was chasing me?” Ji Qingyan asked tentatively.

“I don’t know. The diamond ring and the roses are already ready. I was afraid that you would be envious, so I took you away.”

Lin Yi’s actions made Ji Qingyan laugh so hard that she rocked back and forth.

Although Lin Yi didn’t say it explicitly, he had wrapped his arms around her waist. Unless something else had happened, she must be the one being talked about.

Most importantly, he took 50,000 dollars from the guy. That person would probably die from anger.

The two of them went downstairs and Ji Qingyan said in a low voice,

“Teacher Lin, we’re already on the first floor. Can you take your hands off me?”

“If you don’t keep up the act for a while longer, you might have to deal with the whole matter.”

“You only know how to take advantage of me.”Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. “If you really want to hug me, I’ll give you a chance in the future. There are too many people here. Let go.”

“You said it yourself. I’ll write it down in my notebook.”

“I’ve never seen you so focused on company matters, yet you can’t stop taking advantage of me.”

“I can’t help it. Not everyone has a fat waist like this.”

“Alright, there are too many people here. Let go of me.” Ji Qingyan said embarrassedly.

Lin Yi also knew that Ji Qingyan was thin-skinned, so he finally pulled back. Then, the two of them stood aside and waited for the charity banquet to begin.

Soon, the big shots who were discussing business on the second floor came down one after another, and the charity banquet officially began.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhao Zhengyang walked up to the stage, holding the microphone and sweeping away the haze from his face, as if nothing had happened.

“Welcome, everyone, to our Tianhong Foundation’s charity banquet. I now announce that the charity banquet has officially begun!”

As soon as Zhao Zhengyang finished speaking, a soothing waltz sounded in the venue, and the crowd automatically dispersed to both sides.

Lin Yi looked around and said, “What the hell? Isn’t this the charity banquet? Why are they dancing?”

“The banquet title is just for show. According to the procedure, there will be an opening dance, followed by the charity auction. The money from the auction will be donated to the hope project. That’s the gist of it.”

“It’s all just a formality.”

“I think it’s flashy too, but the upper class love it. Otherwise, how can you differentiate yourself from the ordinary people?” Ji Qingyan said helplessly.

Pairs of men and women walked into the centre ballroom under a soothing waltz and started dancing.

Some were hugging other people’s wives, some were holding hugging other people’s husbands, some were hugging their goddaughters, and some were hugging their own godsons. In short, a pair of strange couples were dancing crazily in the ballroom, causing Lin Yi’s head to hurt.

“President Ji, can I have the honor of having a dance?” A man in his thirties invited.

“You’re very unlucky,” Lin Yi said lightly.

Lin Yi’s words made Ji Qingyan’s heart tighten with sweetness.

It felt good when he helped her chase away these boring people.
