“Huh? President Lin?”

Hearing how Wang Tianlong addressed Lin Yi, the people who had just arrived were a little surprised.

From the way this person dressed, it was obvious that he was from a high-end hotel, but he called Lin Yi by such a formal title.

This was a little strange.

“Lin Yi, do you often stay here?” Wang Ting asked.

A long time ago, Wang Ting learned that Lin Yi was very rich. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have driven a car worth more than a million yuan.

It was normal for the boss of a small company to be called President Lin.

“Occasionally.”

“Then why did all the hotel executives come out to greet you?”

“Because this hotel belongs to me. Isn’t it normal for them to call me President Lin? What kind of IQ do you have?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. No one had expected this hotel to belong to Lin Yi!

Subconsciously, everyone raised their heads and looked at the magnificent and luxurious hotel in front of them. They were left speechless for a long time.

From the looks of it, his net worth was at least 100 million!

Wang Ting secretly pursed her lips. Putting everything else aside, just this hotel alone made him richer than her family.

“Let’s go. Don’t just stand here. Get the accommodations sorted first.”

“Oh, okay,” Li Sijin said quickly. She couldn’t believe Lin Yi’s identity for a while.

Because the hotel had been informed in advance, the check-in process was very fast. In less than half an hour, everything was complete.

Lin Yi didn’t trouble himself with the remaining matters. He just left it to Li Sijin to handle.

He looked at the date on his phone and realized that it was the weekend. Thus, Lin Yi called Ji Qingyan to confirm if she was at the office.

“Mr. Lin, why are you so free today? Why are you calling me at this time?”

After the call went through, Ji Qingyan said with a smile. It was as if even the transmitted radio waves carried a sweet taste.

“I’m not busy today. I just wanted to check what you were doing.”

“I’m working overtime at the office.”

“We’ve already bought all the land in Dongsan County. We just finished a meeting with the design department. This matter is now on the agenda.”

“Feel free to start whenever.” Lin Yi said.

“After the construction is complete, the county’s economy will be up and running. Now is the perfect time to start.”

“Hehe, that’s what I was thinking as well.”

“Alright, go ahead with your own stuff. I’ve got other things to do right now as well.”

“Okay, I’ll call you during lunch.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi picked up a car from the hotel and drove towards Chaoyang Group.

However, when Lin Yi arrived at Chaoyang Group, he realized that Ji Qingyan’s office was empty.

She wasn’t in the bathroom, nor was she in the lounge.

In the end, he realized that her bag was not there either. Clearly, she was not in the office.

Following that, Lin Yi asked her secretary but received a similar reply. She had no idea where Ji Qingyan had gone.

Sitting on Ji Qingyan’s chair, Lin Yi dialed her number.

“Mr. Lin, it’s only been 40 minutes since the last call. There’s no need to think so much about me,” said Ji Qingyan with a smile.

“Yeah, I can’t sleep anymore,” Lin Yi said, “That’s why 1 wanted to know what you’re doing.”

“I don’t think you miss me. You’re checking up on me.”

“Hmm… you can think of it that way too.”

“Pfft, I’m not afraid to check up on you. I’ve been in my office since this morning. If you don’t believe me, hang up now and call my secretary. She can testify for me.”

“There’s no need for me to go through the trouble of calling her. I’ll just ask her in person.”

“Huh? Ask her in person? How?”

“Isn’t her office right next to yours? I can find her just by pushing the door open. There’s no need to call for me to call her.”

“Huh?”

Ji Qingyan was stunned for a moment. “You’re in my office!”

“I am indeed in someone’s office, but there’s no one here. It’s not as if a certain lady has been working in the office, as someone told me just moments ago.”

“All! Lin Yi, you’re so naughty!”

Ji Qingyan shrieked and hung up the phone.

She said that because she knew Lin Yi wouldn’t bother with such a hassle and wouldn’t call her secretary.

However, she did not expect him to be in her office!

A few minutes later, Ji Qingyan rushed back to her office with her bag in hand.

Lin Yi sat on the chair and looked at Ji Qingyan with a teasing look.

“President Ji, you’re so busy, working so hard that you’re all sweaty. You’re really putting in a lot of effort.”

She was both embarrassed and flustered.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back?”

“What would be the point of telling you in advance? Wouldn’t a sudden ambush lead to a greater reward?”

“Hmph, 1 haven’t done anything wrong, so I’m not afraid of any trouble.” Ji Qingyan put down her bag. “Just now, Yuanyuan called me and invited me to go shopping. 1 had just reached the parking lot when you called.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course.”

Ji Qingyan sat on Lin Yi’s lap. “Call her if you don’t believe me. Ask her now. 1 will ensure my name is cleared.”

“I’d rather not. I’m confident you wouldn’t do anything funny.”

“That won’t do. I have to make this call.”

Lin Yi smiled helplessly. He didn’t expect Ji Qingyan to be so serious. She took out her phone and dialed He Yuanyuan’s number.

“What’s the matter?” He Yuanyuan said fiercely. It was almost impossible to tell who was the boss and who was the employee.

“What kind of attitude is that? I’m the boss, alright?”

“Um… Boss, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing much, it’s the weekend, so I’m calling my employees and checking what you’re up to.”

“I’m on a business trip out of town. I’ve been traveling for a month straight, giving my all for the company. I’ve lost a lot of weight, don’t even think about love, and all that’s on my mind is the company’s performance. I hope President Lin can give me a raise.”

“Hmm? You’re on a business trip outside? ”

Ji Qingyan’s expression changed. She had just called to invite me to go shopping. How could she be on a business trip now?

“Are you sure you’re on a business trip and didn’t make plans to go shopping with your senior sister?”

“How is that possible? I don’t have time to go shopping. It’s been a long time since 1 made plans with my senior sister. 1 just want to be the perfect office worker, working 24/7.”

“But your senior sister said you invited her out shopping. What’s going on? Are you shopping online?”

“Huh? You’re with my senior sister?”

“Right.”

“I’m sorry, the user you’re calling is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later, sorry! The numner you dialed can not be connected for the moment, please…”

“What the f*ck…”

Lin Yi threw the phone aside. “President Ji, how do you explain this?”

“Don’t listen to her nonsense. 1 still have my phone records.” She hurriedly took out her phone. “Look, she even called me just now.”

“I don’t think that means anything.”

“But she did call me. I’m not lying to you.” Ji Qingyan bit her lip. “I’m calling her again. I have to clarify this matter.”

Seeing that Ji Qingyan was on the verge of tears, Lin Yi could not help but laugh.

“Alright, alright. I was just teasing you. Why are you so serious?”

“We were really going to go shopping together.” Ji Qingyan said aggrievedly.

“I lied to you because 1 was afraid you’d say I wasn’t doing my job properly.”

“I believe you.” Lin Yi pinched Ji Qingyan’s face.

“We’ve been together for so long. How can 1 not believe you?”

Ring ring ring!

Ji Qingyan was about to say something when her phone rang. It was a call from Guo Ningyue.

“Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Something happened to me.. Can you help me?”
