"I can only do my best with this. Even if you give me more authority, I’m just a driver."

"I understand. If you really can’t handle her, just call me or Yingying."

"Understood."

"I heard from Yingying that Tongtong has a good impression of you. In life, you should have many interactions with her." Chen Limin said:

"In her life, there are many dubious friends. If you sense something off, I hope you can notify us in time."

"Alright, I’ll do my best."

"That’s all I have to say. Once you become permanent, I’ll have Yingying increase your salary by 2,000. We can’t let you work for nothing."

"Thank you, President Chen."

Due to limited time and the superior-subordinate relationship on both sides,

sitting together, there wasn’t much to chat about.

After the main business was done, they each went their separate ways.

Lin Yi returned to the car and recalled the scene just now.

Both Chen Limin and Gao Lei seemed pretty decent.

Even though I’m just a driver, they spoke quite politely.

Especially Gao Lei, who didn’t have that condescending air that often comes with sudden success.

She even took the initiative to pour me a cup of tea midway.

The overall feeling she gave was not like a scheming mistress at all.

Her words also expressed concern and worry for Chen Yutong.

It’s clear to see that the whole family hopes for Chen Yutong to get back on track.

It’s just that when her mother passed away, she was still young, and her views weren’t fully formed.

Just when her father remarried a young wife and had his own child.

Lacking proper psychological guidance, naturally, problems arose.

This is also a common problem among wealthy families.

Including Qin Han and the others, they all have a bit of this trait.

If possible, Lin Yi wouldn’t mind helping them out with this.

But whether I have the ability to do so is another matter.

Unknowingly, two hours passed.

Chen Yutong, carrying a bag, came out and plopped down into the passenger seat.

"What do you want to eat? It’s on me," Chen Yutong said.

"Let’s see what the company’s standard is, a work meal is fine."

"You’re my driver; how can you eat a work meal?" Chen Yutong said seriously:

"Whatever I eat, you eat. I definitely won’t act superior in front of my driver like other bosses, rest assured."

"Sure."

"How about Sichuan cuisine? It’s been a while."

"I’m good with anything, not picky. You choose the place."

"Then Chuanshang Pavilion it is."

"Okay."

Lin Yi knew the place; he had once eaten there with Wang Ying.

The food was indeed quite good.

At the restaurant, they ordered four dishes.

It was apparent that Chen Yutong truly didn’t treat Lin Yi as an outsider.

Enthusiastically recommending dishes to him, it almost felt like a couple.

"Lin Bro, with your good looks, why become a driver? As a model or influencer, you could achieve financial freedom in less than three years."

"I’ve never been able to rely on my looks. Being a stable driver is enough."

"What a waste of that face of yours."

Chen Yutong’s gaze wandered over Lin Yi.

"I feel you’re about my sister’s age. How about you make an effort to win her over and become my brother-in-law?"

"That’s probably not possible. I already have a child, becoming your brother-in-law wouldn’t be appropriate."

"Ah?! You already have a kid?!"

Chen Yutong almost spat out the food in her mouth.

"Marrying so young, why? With such a good-looking face, you should at least enjoy a few more years."

"I got married once I met the right person," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"Even though you’re still young, if you find someone suitable, you can try dating."

"No way, I decided long ago: no marriage, no kids, to ensure safety — I won’t do something so foolish."

Lin Yi wanted to say something more.

But after thinking it over, he took back what he was going to say.

Getting married and having kids, these are personal choices.

There’s no need for me to persuade anyone, nor do I have the right to.

"Be cautious before making a choice. But if you’re sure about it, I support you."

"That’s why I like cultured people like you. Some folks at the company, knowing my stance on marriage and kids, just keep on yapping."

Chen Yutong rolled her eyes as she spoke.

"You don’t need to think like that. They mean no harm, just listen lightly."

"I don’t bother to engage with them."

"Mm."

Soon, the two finished their meal, and Lin Yi took her to another tutoring center.

There’s an hour before class starts.

Chen Yutong bought two cups of coffee and handed one to Lin Yi.

"Just wait here, I’m heading in."

Lin Yi glanced at his watch, "There’s still an hour until class."

"But the classroom is open; I can go in and study."

"Alright, go ahead."

Chen Yutong left.

Lin Yi found a movie to kill time in the car.

Bzz bzz bzz—

Soon after, Lin Yi’s phone rang.

It was a video call from Xiao Bing.

She was in a swimsuit, sunbathing by a pool.

No one was around; it was probably their private pool.

"Lin Bro, does my swimsuit look good?"

"Might as well not be wearing anything. Be mindful of the impact."

"Hehe, no worries, nobody’s watching. Want to come over and hang out?"

"Enjoy yourself, I’m busy lately."

"I knew you’d be busy. There’s something I need to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"Do you remember the creature we caught from Horror Lake?"

"I remember, what’s up?"

"The macrophages we extracted from it have been made into the first batch of E-class serums, fourteen in total."

"They’re ready this quickly?"

"I didn’t expect it either. The regiment has plans, and eight might be traded."

"This should enhance stability, right?"

"Yes, those who’ve reached C-level through the serum are quite unstable. With this, it’s different."

"Who’s the deal with?"

"The Beautiful Country."

"It couldn’t be anyone else but them."

To Lin Yi, dealing with them was indeed a wise choice.

Their two teams were already laid to waste by him; they’re very weak.

Even if they got these serums, they couldn’t quickly form effective combat power.

And through these serums, we could gain significant benefits, definitely the right choice.

"So, are we responsible for the trade?"

"That’s the preliminary plan. So I’m giving you a heads-up."

Lin Yi nodded.

"What about the Sheepskin Scroll we brought back? How’s the decoding going?"

"I heard there’s some progress. It seems to be their clan’s code of conduct."
