With the intervention of the Shenlong Special Forces, Lin Yi felt a lot more at ease, but he was still a little worried about Concubine Wu's current state. She was a strong and stubborn woman. The current situation in Beiwu International had not only dampened her career ambitions. , it was a kind of harm to the family relationship. Lin Yi felt that it was necessary for him, his close brother, to comfort and comfort him, so he made an appointment with Concubine Wu to have dinner with her.
I don’t know whether Concubine Wu didn’t want to refute Lin Yi’s good intentions, or she was really hungry because she didn’t eat much at noon. She actually agreed to Lin Yi’s invitation, but for Lin Yi, a carless person who has still stuck to taking a taxi or taking a bus. She, the invitee, actually had to drive to pick up Lin Yi, the inviter. This shows that the word "gentleman" has nothing to do with Lin Yi.
At night when the lanterns first came on, Concubine Wu drove Lin Yi in the traffic and asked, "Where should we go to eat?"
"Whatever," Lin Yi replied, looking away from the car window.
"Uh... It seems you invited me to dinner tonight," Concubine Wu pouted displeasedly, "It's fine if you asked me to drive to pick you up. It's fine if I didn't book a restaurant in advance. As for flowers, gifts, etc. I didn't expect a little surprise at all, but you should at least think about where to invite me to dinner... It seems that you really have no experience in asking girls to dinner,"
"I... I'm just accumulating experience," Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, then patted his chest and said, "Anyway, no matter where you go to eat tonight, I will be responsible for paying the bill. You can eat wherever you like. Just go wherever you want, no need to be polite to me,"
"That's what you said,"
"Of course I said it... Please don't look at me with that questioning look. It's just a dinner. If you can eat me up to the point of ruining everything, then that's your skill," Lin Yi said tonight Showing rare generosity, he was already mentally prepared to bleed heavily in order to win the beauty's smile.
Concubine Wu was really not polite to Lin Yi tonight and drove directly to the Jindingxuan Hotel in Yanjing. Lin Yi could be regarded as a young talent who has entered the upper class society in Yanjing. Of course he knew about Jindingxuan. The name of the hotel just sounds like a wealthy person. Many political and business celebrities come here to spend money. It is a typical place for the rich and powerful to spend money.
Women are the ones who make money and waste money.
It was just the words of the old man, which were like spitting and nailing. Although Lin Yi felt a slight pain in his heart, he still had the courage to lead Concubine Wu and walked in. As he said before, he really didn't believe that Concubine Wu had a dinner. You can eat him up to the point of bankruptcy, and my brother is rich.
Fortunately, Concubine Wu later discovered that even though she chose such an expensive place, the dishes she ordered were not expensive at all. She didn't say hello to shark's fin or bird's nest, but just ordered a few ordinary dishes. This made her Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, it would still be a huge expense.
Before serving the food, Concubine Wu asked for a glass of ice water, took a sip and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to treat me to dinner at Jindingxuan?"
"I don't know," Lin Yi shook his head honestly. He just wondered if a woman like Concubine Wu, who was born with a golden key in her mouth, needed any reason to come to Jindingxuan for dinner.
Concubine Wu did not show off. She put down the water glass in her hand and kept her head at a perfect angle of forty-five degrees, as if she was recalling something: "When I first entered the business world, my grandfather entertained all the major merchants in Yanjing at Jindingxuan. Political celebrities pushed me to the forefront and helped me build bridges and pave the way in the business world... But he never thought that I would leave the Wu family and start my own business, let alone that after his death, I would return to the Wu family, but he There is no way to help him keep this huge family fortune, so he must be very disappointed in me,"
After hearing the reason why Concubine Wu came to Jindingxuan for dinner, Lin Yi no longer felt distressed about the expense. Instead, he felt sad. He could clearly feel that Concubine Wu was now burdened with more than just the pressure from the mall. What's even heavier is the pressure on family ties. For Concubine Wu, Beiwu International may not be a huge enterprise, but a responsibility for her grandfather.
"Eat well, don't think so much," Lin Yi couldn't help but reached out and touched Concubine Wu's head, and said warmly, "When your grandfather brought you to Jindingxuan for dinner, you later became very successful in the business world. Since then, both in the Wu family and in founding Feili, we have made dazzling achievements. Now I invite you to have dinner at Jindingxuan. Do you think you can not disappoint me?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to really disappoint you this time. Apart from finding Hao Xiangdong so that we can have a glimmer of hope to make a comeback, I really can't think of any other way." Concubine Wu played with the water glass on the table in a daze, her face full of despair. He obviously didn't take Lin Yi's words to leave the matter of finding Hao Xiangdong to him.
Lin Yi suddenly didn't know how to comfort Concubine Wu. After all, before finding Hao Xiangdong, any verbal comfort seemed so feeble. Fortunately, at this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes, finally breaking the awkward silence between the two. Lin Yi handed the chopsticks to Concubine Wu's hand and said softly: "Let's eat first. You can't treat your own stomach badly if you treat anyone wrong."
Under Lin Yi's gentle and earnest invitation, Concubine Wu finally picked up the chopsticks and began to eat slowly. However, her appetite was obviously not very good, and she ate a little absent-mindedly. However, Lin Yi's eating style was still as vigorous as usual. ...What a pity it would be to waste such an expensive dish.
While the two were eating, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them. Lin Yi turned around and saw Pei Yunian, who was wearing a straight suit, walking out of the box, followed by a group of men in suits and leather shoes, including some familiar faces. , it is a group of small shareholders and some senior managers of Beiwu International, Wu Wenchu is also among them.
It seems that Pei Yunian is really preparing to take over Beiwu International. Although he now holds 60% of the shares of Beiwu International and can legitimately become the chairman of Beiwu International, he still He still postponed the shareholders' meeting for a week, because he wanted to win over people's hearts and complete his high-level arrangements within Beiwu International within this week, so that he could take over Beiwu International more smoothly and avoid a lot of business disputes and personnel risks.
Lin Yi didn't want to meet Pei Yunian at this time, because his appearance was likely to stimulate the pain in Concubine Wu's heart again. Even though he had tried to avoid it, Pei Yunian still saw them. What's even more outrageous was that this guy actually He said a few words to the people around him, and then walked towards Lin Yi and Concubine Wu with great power... Didn't he realize that he was very unpopular?
As soon as he came, he was content with it. Lin Yi no longer avoided it and looked directly at Pei Yunian's arrival. Concubine Wu finally saw Pei Yunian walking over, and her face suddenly darkened. At the same time, she also saw Not far away, Wu Wenchu and the shareholders and senior managers of Beiwu International, who had not yet had time to walk out of the hall, were even more angry.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you two here," Pei Yunian walked over arrogantly. He was not as forbearing and scheming as most of the superiors. The emotions in his heart were completely reflected on his face, anger. So, so proudly, because he deeply believes that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks will lose their effect and will only make people laugh, so he always relies on absolute strength, abandons all conspiracy and tricks, and demands forcefully Everything he wants.
This is how he got his name as the number one evil young man in Yanjing.
"It's not a coincidence. Yanjing is such a big place, so it's normal to meet him." Lin Yize was completely opposite to Pei Yunian, although he wanted to slap Pei Yunian on the wall and scratch him. He couldn't pick it off, but he still pointed to the leftover water on the table with enthusiasm and invited, "Young Master Pei, sit down and have some food together."
"No, I just ate," Pei Yunian glanced at the leftovers on the table coldly, shook his head and smiled, "When did the famous Miss Wu eat so frugally?"
Concubine Wu looked up at Pei Yunian angrily, with anger and pain mixed on her face. Just when she didn't know how to respond to Pei Yunian's sarcasm, Lin Yi took over the conversation: "Young Master Pei misunderstood, this meal is for me Invite Miss Wu Fei to eat. You also know that we poor people who come from the mountains cannot play the extravagant and wasteful tricks of your rich and noble sons."
"Why are you everywhere?" Pei Yunian's eyes instantly shifted to Lin Yi with boredom. He wanted to say a few sarcastic words to Concubine Wu to satisfy his vanity after winning, but what Lin Yi said always made him... His heart was filled with panic. He recalled that Lin Yi had used poison to contain him and was forced to let Shen Shiman go. Yu Mengqi, Qing Ling and others left, and the anger in his heart was even more intense.
Lin Yi ignored Pei Yunian's annoyance at all, and still smiled cheaply: "Didn't I just say it before? Yanjing is such a big place, so it's normal to encounter it."
"Really," Pei Yunian said with a cold smile, "Lin Yi, do you think you are so damn capable? You want to get involved in Shen Shiman's matter, and now you are eager to try in Concubine Wu's matter... ...Are you fucking trying to get into trouble with me? They are not your wives, so what the hell do you care about?"
"They are all my friends, very important friends," Lin Yi still smiled, but there was a firmness in his words.
"Friend, if you want to f*ck them, just tell them, don't beat around the bush," Pei Yunian spat disdainfully, pointed at the tip of Lin Yi's nose, and said coldly, "Lin Yi, let me tell you, When it comes to standing up for a woman, if you do it well, it’s called a hero to save the beauty; if you fail, it’s called overestimating one’s capabilities.”
