Chapter 4076: Dinner at Home Tonight

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

In fact, Wang Changsheng couldn’t remember who Pan Yongming was at all.

But on such occasions, one still needs to maintain some decorum, at least have some grace.

"Director Wang, please hold on, I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Wang Changsheng stopped in his tracks, looking slightly displeased.

"It’s like this, I have a relative, their child is about to graduate and wants to work at your company, could you..."

Wang Changsheng’s expression became even more displeased.

"Just submit a resume normally; the HR department will handle it."

Saying this, Wang Changsheng walked away, not giving Pan Yongming another chance to speak.

But anyone with sharp eyes could see that this is a routine way of handling things. Others who want to apply would have to follow this process.

To put it bluntly, it was a way of not giving you any face.

Wang Changsheng left, and the groom raised his glass.

"Brother-in-law, let me toast you once more, don’t leave tonight, let’s have a good drink together."

"Sure, sure..."

Pan Yongming raised his glass, thinking he had found a step down, wanting to clink glasses with the groom.

Yet unexpectedly, the groom avoided him and clinked glasses with Lin Yi instead!

After downing the wine in one gulp, the bride and groom exchanged a few pleasantries and left.

But the atmosphere at the table had completely changed.

All attention was now on Lin Yi.

Just sitting there, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies would come to toast.

And without saying anything, they subtly arranged a promotion for a relative.

This was much better than that Pan Yongming, who people didn’t even know or want to bother with, always trying hard to force a conversation.

The difference in their social status was clear.

"Jingjing, why does the CEO of your company call your boyfriend Director Lin?" a relative at the table asked.

"Well..."

Faced with such a question, Yue Sijing didn’t know how to answer.

"I also run a small company."

"But I heard you’re Jingjing’s boss, and she works at the TV station..."

"We both work at the TV station, but that’s a side job."

By now, anyone who isn’t a fool could understand what that means.

It seems their family runs a company, with work on the side at home.

Otherwise, that Wang Changsheng wouldn’t have such an attitude towards him, and still begged him to collaborate.

"I said when she was little, Si Jing is blessed. See, isn’t it true? Not only does she have a good job, but she also found such an outstanding boyfriend."

"Yes, yes, it’s truly amazing. Si Jing, as for your cousin’s job after graduation, please help us out."

"Well..."

Yue Sijing didn’t know how to respond, suddenly feeling Lin Yi gently touch her under the table.

"Okay."

"Thank you so much, here’s a toast to you."

The atmosphere at the table was lively.

Meanwhile, Yue Sijing’s aunt and Pan Yongming sat cold-faced in their chairs, wishing they could leave right away.

They had lost all face.

The banquet proceeded quickly since there wasn’t much drinking, similar to eating at home; once full, people would leave and not linger.

Within an hour, people gradually started leaving, and family relatives began packing up.

The group moved outside the hotel, once again seeing Lin Yi’s Phantom.

Pan Yongming felt even more embarrassed, having previously claimed it was rented.

Now it was clear the person genuinely had the means to buy it!

"Mom and Dad, get in the car, let’s go home." Yue Sijing said, opening the car door.

"Sure, sure."

The couple was grinning from ear to ear, delighted their daughter found such an outstanding boyfriend and too happy for words.

All four got into the car one after another, leaving amidst everyone’s envy.

Lin Yi, following the memorized route, drove Yue Sijing and her parents home.

But Yue Sijing’s parents didn’t hurry to get out; they sat in the back, looking at Lin Yi and said,

"Lin Yi, you’ve worked hard today too; come have dinner at our place tonight, I’ll cook something nice for you," the aunt said.

"No need to trouble yourself, Auntie, you shouldn’t go to the trouble."

"Mom, Lin Bro got up early too, he’s tired, don’t make a fuss tonight," Yue Sijing said.

"How can it be a fuss, it’s just a meal; he doesn’t have to do anything," the aunt said:

"If he’s tired, he can stay and rest, there’s space in your room anyway."

"Ah, this..."

Yue Sijing didn’t know what to say for a moment, her mind involuntarily conjuring up a scene.

"Mainly Lin Bro is busy too, he doesn’t have time tonight."

Yue Sijing knew she’d already troubled Lin Yi a lot; asking him over for dinner would feel too much, she planned to invite him another time.

"Even if he’s busy, he still has to eat; we can eat a bit later."

The aunt leaned over, smiling at Lin Jiang.

"Lin Yi, Auntie has already asked, you must come over tonight; if you don’t, you’ll be disrespecting Auntie."

"With things at this point, Lin Yi couldn’t refuse; he could only nod and agree."

"Got it, Auntie, I’ll come tonight."

"Great, tell Jingjing what you’d like to eat, Auntie is a good cook."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Then we’ll leave first, see you tonight."

"Okay."

Yue Sijing’s parents smiled as they got out of the car, while Lin Yi didn’t think much of it.

It’s just a meal; even if he goes, it doesn’t matter.

Driving back, Lin Yi received a call from Yue Sijing.

"Lin Bro, I’m really sorry, I’ll talk to my mom about it, so you won’t have to be bothered tonight."

"You’re abandoning me after the help I’ve given, not even treating me to a meal," Lin Yi joked.

"I don’t mean that, Lin Bro, don’t misunderstand," Yue Sijing quickly explained:

"I would love for you to come for dinner, just didn’t want to disturb you."

"It’s not as exaggerated as you think, try to refuse on my behalf, so as not to trouble Auntie; if you really can’t refuse, call me again."

"Understood, thank you, Lin Bro."

After hanging up, Lin Yi drove back home.

Upon returning, he found that Ji Qingyan had taken Little Nuonuo to a class.

Feeling bored at home, Lin Yi didn’t stay long, he called Wang Ying, planning to visit her as it’d been a while since they’d caught up.

By five o’clock in the afternoon, after a long "battle," Lin Yi was driving home and received a call from Yue Sijing.

"Lin Bro, are you busy?"

"Couldn’t refuse, could you?"

"Uh, my mom insists you come over for dinner, is it convenient for you?"
