Chapter 104: Poverty Makes Me Freeloader
Longxi Group.
Executive meeting.
In the entire conference room, except for the person who was speaking, all other executives listened carefully to the speech and did not dare to make the slightest movement.
Ever since the group won the cooperation agreement with Frost Group last time, the chairman’s prestige in the company has surpassed that of the old chairman.
There were several senior executives who had worked in the group for many years and had made great contributions, but they did not take the new chairman seriously. In the end, they were all fired by the new chairman.
These executives were not convinced and even joined some shareholders to cause trouble. But in the end, at the shareholders' meeting, most shareholders supported the new chairman, and the new chairman now has the final say in the company.
What the new chairman hates most is noise during meetings, so everyone turns their phones to silent mode when entering the meeting room.
Ding-a-ling!
The cell phone rings.
All the executives were startled until they realized it was the new chairman’s cell phone ringing, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
The new chairman probably won’t answer the phone.
This was what many executives were thinking. After all, the new chairman always led by example. The executive who was reporting simply paused for a moment and then continued reporting.
However, to everyone's surprise, He Jie glanced at the number and said, "Pause for a moment."
After saying that, He Jie picked up his phone and walked out of the meeting room, leaving the executives in the meeting room looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Whose phone is this? Our CEO He actually answered the phone during a meeting."
He Jie's assistant was amazed when listening to what these executives said. Who on earth was that Mr. Lin, who could make the boss break his rules twice in a row?
The last time, the boss answered the phone during a meeting, it was also Mr. Lin who called. She just glanced at the boss's phone screen and the caller's name displayed was also Mr. Lin.
In the future, I will add a line in my notes: if a Mr. Lin comes to see the boss, I must not stop him.
…
…
Ten minutes later, the assistant changed the notes again.
[If I could meet this Mr. Lin, I would definitely try my best to curry favor with him.]
The reason for the change was very simple. After answering the phone directly said that the meeting was temporarily cancelled and postponed to tomorrow.
The other executives didn't know why the boss postponed the meeting, but as an assistant, she knew it. The boss had just informed her to drive to Xinjiang Wanting, and the reason was because of Mr. Lin.
If Longyun is the specimen villa luxury house built by the group, then Xinjiang Bay Court is the high-end commercial housing built by the group. While the average housing price in Raocheng is just over ten thousand, the housing price of Xinjiang Bay Court has reached twenty thousand, while the price of the upper-middle-sized flat has even reached thirty thousand per square meter.
When Lin Ye drove his scooter to the sales office, he saw He Jie.
Wearing work clothes, as always, gave people a sense of oppression. As soon as Lin Ye entered the sales office, he could feel that the atmosphere in the sales office was very low, and all the employees inside were very cautious.
"Mr. He, so fast?"
Lin Ye smiled and shook hands with He Jie. This woman was pretty, but a little too cold. In comparison, Chen Xi was better.
"Mr. Lin, have some tea."
After the assistant confirmed that this person was Mr. Lin, he served him a cup of tea and said, "Our CEO He received a call from Li Xinnian and postponed the meeting. He came here as soon as possible."
When the assistant saw Mr. Lin's face, he felt that he had solved the case and that his boss must have fallen in love.
Then this person may very well become the boss lady of their group in the future.
Mr. He's behavior seems to be that he loves beauty more than the throne, which is a sign of him becoming a tyrant. So she has to flatter him even more, as pillow talk is very powerful.
"Thanks."
Lin Ye took the cup and saw the assistant's flattering expression. He couldn't help feeling confused. Why did she look like he was her boss?
With He Jie accompanying me personally, the house viewing was naturally very easy. We chose the best floor and house, and the most important thing was the fine decoration.
Lin Ye was attracted by the house at first sight. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the Xinjiang River, and it had high-end decoration, luxurious carpets, and a dressing room that was larger than the apartment he had originally rented.
And the bathtub is bigger than the average bed...
Lin Ye took a deep breath. To be honest, he would not have dared to even think about buying a house like this a few months ago.
“How much is this house?”
"It's just a house. If Mr. Lin wants it, I'll give it to him."
He Jie was very generous. Lin Ye shook his head and said, "No merit, no reward. How can this be possible? Let's name a price."
He Jie looked at his assistant, who had already received the price from the sales department. He said, "This house is made up of two large flats connected together. The usable area is 486 square meters. The current market price is about 12 million."
Lin Ye: ...
He really didn't intend to get it for free at first, he just wanted to ask for a discount from his old friend.
But this price...
You'd have to pay a huge price to buy this.
People always say that villas are expensive, but now it seems that good suites are more expensive than villas, but you can’t tell from the outside.
"Mr. Lin, I have something I want to discuss with you."
As soon as He Jie said this, the assistant walked away with a tactful look , saying, "Let me see if the equipment in the kitchen is ready."
"What does Mr. He want to talk about?"
"This apartment can be given to Mr. Lin. I have only one request. I hope Mr. Lin can let me see my father's spirit."
As early as when Chen Shanghan came to her house, and with the subsequent developments of the matter, He Jie contacted Lin Ye and learned about her secret, she had already made a judgment in her mind.
But she was afraid of being rejected by Lin Ye, so she did not take the initiative to disturb him. Now that she has seized this opportunity, she will naturally not give up.
Lin Ye opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but looking at the luxurious decoration, he couldn't say no.
Poverty forced him to want something for free.
It’s just like reading novels. When I didn’t have money, I couldn’t afford the genuine version, so I would just look for pirated copies.
"It's okay if Mr. Lin doesn't agree. This house will be given to you. It's because of Mr. Lin that we were able to get the contract with Frost Group."
After He Jie said this, Lin Ye felt better. It seemed that he was not getting anything for free. He was rewarded for his merits. He was different from those readers who read pirated copies.
"Mr. He can stay at home more tonight."
Lin Ye gave He Jie an ambiguous answer, and the two smiled at each other knowingly.
As for whether he would be affected by too many causes and effects, he has now let it go.
I have practiced martial arts, Taoism and Buddhism, which is already considered as betraying my master and ancestors. I don't need to care about these things.
I'm Chinese.
Left eye twitching means wealth, while right eye twitching means feudal superstition.
If there is no benefit, then it means you are contaminated by cause and effect; if there is benefit, then it is called refining your mind in the worldly world.
…
…
"So, Chen Xi, are you serious?"
"You told me to observe, but you didn't mean it."
"It's not what you think."
Chen Xi's pretty face blushed as she listened to her best friend's words, but she couldn't tell too much about what happened yesterday. The most important thing was that she realized that Lin Ye might have some secret.
"It's not what I thought. Did that person agree to your conditions?"
"No..." Seeing her best friend's expression change, Chen Xi added: "I'm not sure either."
"What do you mean you're not sure? Xixi, you're very opinionated, and you had set your goals in college. Why did you change them like that? Where are your principles? You didn't lose them just because he's so handsome, did you?"
"Show me the photo. I want to see how handsome he is."
"Don't mess around."
Seeing her best friend trying to snatch her phone, Chen Xi quickly put it behind her. There were indeed photos of Lin Ye on her phone, which she took secretly out of boredom after returning to the gym after watching a movie.
She knew very well that the relationship between her and Lin Ye was just a deal, and she would not leak Lin Ye's photos without Lin Ye's consent. Even her best friends only knew that there was such a man, but did not know Lin Ye's name or appearance.
Ding-a-ling!
"I won't rob you anymore, your phone is ringing."
When Chen Xi saw that her best friend stopped playing around, she took out her cell phone. When she saw the phone number, she was stunned for a moment. Then she walked back to her room, locked the door and answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Lin..."
“So fast…”
"But I'm afraid I can't do that these days."
"I...Okay, I'll come over and take a look first."
…
…
After Lin Ye hung up Chen Xi's call, his expression was a little strange. What did he mean by so fast? Could this person have misunderstood something?
I'm not that hungry.
Half an hour later, Chen Xi arrived.
Although a white windbreaker concealed her devilish figure, it made her look even taller. When she entered the room, Chen Xi's eyes lit up. This house was exactly what she had dreamed of.
"How is it, are you satisfied with this house?"
"satisfy."
Chen Xi took the initiative to step forward, hugged Lin Ye's arm, and gave him a sweet kiss, but this kiss suddenly couldn't be stopped.
"The window... the curtains are not closed yet."
"I'm not feeling well..."
Lin Ye: ...
Chen Xi glanced at Lin Ye charmingly: "I'll help you in other ways."
Outside the window, the water of the Xin River flows peacefully...
Lin Ye, surrounded by this gentleness...
