Chapter 172: The Lingyun Trio

The atmosphere in the office was silent.

It was as if only their heartbeats could be heard.

Ji Qingyan suddenly understood that the first twenty years of Lin Yi’s life weren’t the darkest moments in his life, but the greatest wealth in his life.

This had trained him to become the young man who both loved and feared life, but was still firm and determined enough to kill a dragon with a sword.

It was the breath of life, and that breath was more important than anything else.

He was an ambitious man, after all.

“Do you think I’m joking? Maybe even a little ridiculous?” Lin Yi said self-deprecatingly.

“It’s a little ridiculous, but I don’t think you’re joking,” He Yuanyuan said.

“Why?”

“Everyone with ambition is worthy of respect.”

Lin Yi smiled. If he could recruit her, it would be a blessing for him.

“I’ve already answered this question, so you have any other questions?” Lin Yi asked.

The two looked at each other and Qi Xianzhao smiled.

“There were a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but your answer just now made me swallow all the other questions. Thus, I’ve decided not to ask them.”

Lin Yi looked at the two with interest and teased,

“To be honest, I think that answer was a bit ridiculous. It was like a capitalist trying to bake a big cake. Why did you two believe it?”

“I had my own selfish motives. To serve such a handsome boss, I have to work hard,” He Yuanyuan said. “I’m just a normal person. I like handsome guys.”

Ji Qingyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She really couldn’t do anything about this.

“What about you?” Lin Yi looked at Qi Xianzhao.

“I’m still young, and I still want to give it a shot.” Qi Xianzhao laughed honestly. “Otherwise, when I get old, I won’t have the ability to brag in front of my children.”

“If I fail, then you won’t have the ability to brag either.”

“At least I would have learned how to draw a pie chart. It should be enough to fool the children.”

“Haha…”

Lin Yi laughed out loud. “Then come work with me from now on. I’ll take you guys to draw pie charts.”

Ji Qingyan laughed as well. None of them had thought that their meeting would go so good.

“Let’s not talk about pie charts for now. Let’s talk about salary.”

Lin Yi looked at the two of them and asked, “Before that, what was your annual salary before that?”

“It’s about three million in stock dividends,” Qi Xianzhao said.

“I don’t have as much as Qi bro, about two million,” He Yuanyuan said.

“It’s one thing to paint a picture, but you still have to eat. Raise your salary to five million, and we’ll talk about dividends later when we go public.” Lin Yi looked at the two of them. “Is that a good number?”

“Mr. Lin, you’re just throwing money at people. I don’t want to stay in Meituan anymore,” He Yuanyuan said.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lin.” Qi Xianzhao said. “I feel guilty for you giving me such a high annual salary.”

“Don’t focus on the salary in front of you.” Lin Yi smiled. “You still have to follow me and conquer the world together.”

“Got it, Boss Lin.”

“I’ve said what I need to say. I’ll take you to the new company to take a look, and I’ll leave the future work to you guys.” Lin Yi said.

“I’ll repeat what I said just now. The foundation is a product of my personal will, and it’s very private. I won’t let your talents go to waste. Once you’re on the right track, there’ll be more challenges waiting for you guys.”

“Got it, Mr. Lin!” He Yuanyuan said excitedly. “I want to go and take a look.”

“You’re not afraid of Lin Yi, are you? I’ll just give you a small dark room and let you start your own business.” Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

“I’m really afraid,” Je Yuanyuan said exaggeratedly. “If I didn’t have air-conditioning, I’d probably die from the heat in the office.”

“He already gave you an annual salary of five million dollars, why would he need your money for air conditioning?” Ji Qingyan said with a smile.

“Hehe, let’s go then. Let me see the new office.”

The group of four went down the stairs. Lin Yi pressed the car key, and Koenigsegg’s car door opened. He Yuanyuan was drooling at the sight of this.

“Boss Lin, is this car yours?”

“Of course. Do you want to go in and have a seat?”

“No, I’m afraid that senior won’t be happy.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Ji Qingyan said embarrassedly.

After a while, Ji Qingyan got into Lin Yi’s car, and Qi Xianzhao got into he Yuanyuan’s Cayenne. Finally, they stopped at Lingyun building.

Although the name had been changed to Lingyun Building, they hadn’t had time to install the plaque yet, and the original title of ‘Twin Towers’ remained.

“Director Lin, don’t tell me you rented an office in the Twin Towers.”He Yuanyuan said in disbelief.

“No, I didn’t.”

“Then where’s our office?” He Yuanyuan looked around. “There are a few high-end office buildings nearby.”

“You might have misunderstood.” Lin Yi smiled. “I didn’t rent an office here, I bought these two buildings.”

Pfftt!

He Yuanyuan almost vomited blood.

“You, you bought the Twin Towers? How much did that cost? !”

“18 billion.”

He Yuanyuan, “…”

Qi Xianzhao, “…”

“Mr. Lin, I don’t want to be the CFO anymore.” He Yuanyuan said.

“Hmm? What do you want to be?”

“The company has just been established. You should be lacking a secretary, right?” He Yuanyuan said. “Although my legs are not as long as senior’s legs, I can still wear a black silk skirt. Do you want to think about it?”

“Uh…”

Before Lin Yi could say anything, Ji Qingyan interrupted, “Don’t forget that you graduated from Yan University. Don’t embarrass your alma mater.”

“Yo yo yo, senior is jealous.”

“Get out of here”

“Alright, stop bickering.” Lin Yi smiled. “Let’s go up and take a look first.”

“Yeah yeah, I can’t wait anymore.”.

The interior of the building was decorated in a Scandinavian style. It was in line with the aesthetic trend of the young people, so the four of them quickly adapted to the environment.

However, the floors were empty, and it seemed a little deserted.

“That’s the specific situation of the building,” Lin Yi said.

“I’ll leave the rest of the work to the two of you. Just get the foundation up and running as soon as possible. There’s 500 million in the account, so it should be enough to support us for a while. If you run into any problems that you can’t solve, just come to me again.”

“No problem.” He Yuanyuan gestured with an OK sign.

“But Boss Lin, we’re already doing the work. What are you doing? You should at least participate in the decision-making. We’re just part-time workers, and we don’t have the right to decide everything.”

“I still have my own matters to handle, and I don’t have time to stay here.”

He Yuanyuan looked at Lin Yi curiously. “Boss Lin, what do you usually do? Don’t tell me you cook for your senior full-time and work as a breeder?”

“I only cook for her occasionally, and I have a formal job.”

“What formal job?”

“Errand boy.”
