Chapter 3417: Chapter 3409: The Mysterious Client

"Stop talking nonsense! How could whether you fancy me or not be related to black stockings? I don’t believe it."

Chen Lin glanced at Lin Yi, "It’s because I’m not wearing black stockings that you don’t fancy me, right?"

"You could say that," Lin Yi laughed and said:

"If you wear them, I’ll take you inside for a tour."

"Can you really get inside this place?"

"Wearing black stockings grants access, not wearing them keeps you out."

"Alright, wait here. I’m going to buy a pair from the roadside store." Chen Lin glanced at Lin Yi, "If we can’t get in, I’ll strangle you."

"You look like you’re itching to strangle me."

"Hmph."

Chen Lin got out of the car and went to the clothing store across the street.

A dozen minutes later, she walked over gracefully in high heels, indeed wearing black stockings on her legs.

"See, the effect is immediate once you put them on," Lin Yi said:

"Taking good advice fills your belly. Keep working hard in the future, Duoduo."

"It’s mainly for the evening, the regional sales vice president is coming, and I’ll have to dine with her. Wearing stockings can cover up the blemishes on my legs."

"Aren’t you afraid of running into a lecherous person?"

"Don’t worry, it’s a woman," Chen Lin said:

"We’ll mainly talk about this plot of land since it’s her responsibility."

"Well, that’s a relief, we can just head back."

"Head back for what? I’m wearing black stockings now. Didn’t you say I’d be able to go inside? Show me how you plan to get me in."

"You’re playing two birds with one stone. No wonder you listen so well."

"I remember you saying that it’s foolish to pass up a good deal."

"You’re learning quickly," Lin Yi laughed heartily and said, "Since you want to see it, I’ll take you there."

Lin Yi drove and soon arrived at the entrance of Jiuzhou Pavilion.

"Are you sure you can get in?"

Arriving at the entrance, Chen Lin felt a bit timid, "Don’t let them kick us out."

"Our President Chen is wearing black stockings; why shouldn’t we be allowed in!"

"If you’re saying anyone wearing black could get in, Jiuzhou Pavilion would become a sightseeing spot, and all those internet celebrities and models would walk in."

"That’s different. Who can compare to our President Chen?"

At this moment, the entrance security at Jiuzhou Pavilion opened, and the guard stood aside and saluted.

Lin Yi rummaged through the car and found a few boxes of cigarettes tucked away, casually tossing them out.

"They actually opened the door?"

Chen Lin stared in disbelief.

She never imagined she could come to such a place.

Buying the stockings was just for the evening dinner.

Yet she managed to get inside.

"No way should President Chen’s black stockings go to waste."

"Do you know someone here?"

"Uh..."

Lin Yi hesitated, "Kind of."

Chen Lin turned sideways, sizing up Lin Yi.

"The owner of Jiuzhou Pavilion can’t be a rich woman, can it?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I think your network of male connections is probably smaller than your female ones."

"I’m not a gigolo; how could I have so many female friends?"

"What a pity with a face like yours."

"Thank you for appreciating, President Chen."

Arriving inside Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi parked the car.

Although he hadn’t stayed for a long time, the landscape within the complex was remarkably well-maintained.

"No wonder this is where the rich live; it’s built better than a park inside."

"Just like you said, a single house here costs nearly a billion. If not built well, who would buy it?"

"That’s true; rich people are very picky," Chen Lin said:

"If we could open the store here, it would surely elevate the class."

"But whether you can open here is still a question. It’s premature to be too optimistic as there are plenty of competitors."

"The headquarters will have to find ways," Chen Lin said:

"This evening during dinner with Chairman Xu, I’ll talk through these issues carefully."

Lin Yi nodded, staying silent.

He wasn’t very confident that headquarters could handle this matter well.

After all, it was just expansion; if competition with other businesses was fierce, it remained uncertain whether they would persist.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Lin remarked:

"Didn’t you say all the houses here were sold? Why does it feel like no one lives here?"

"Maybe one person bought them all and often doesn’t come back, so you don’t see anyone around."

"How’s that possible? Buying this place would start at least a hundred billion."

"Something like that."

"What kind of rich person would do that, buying so many at once unless they aren’t thinking straight?"

Lin Yi: ...

"Let’s go; we’ve wandered enough. Time to eat."

Chen Lin didn’t have much attachment to the scenery in Jiuzhou Pavilion.

She knew even if she looked longer, it wouldn’t relate to her.

So, just seeing the scenery and glimpsing the life of the rich was enough.

"Let’s go."

The two left Jiuzhou Pavilion, and Chen Lin treated Lin Yi to some barbecue.

"By the way, what’s headquarters’ stance regarding the expansion?" Lin Yi asked:

"Are they still in the investigation stage, or is it set in stone that they will expand?"

"It’s pretty much set in stone," Chen Lin said:

"Originally, Director Wang was supposed to come, but he had other matters and went to Europe for exchanges. So, he sent Chairman Xu in his stead."

"So if that plot of land gets snatched by someone else, headquarters still intends to expand, right?"

"From the information I’ve heard, that’s the case."

Chen Lin picked a piece of meat and leisurely ate it, "Though the specifics will depend on what happens after tonight’s dinner."

Lin Yi nodded and didn’t say anything further.

After dinner, they returned to the store.

In the afternoon, Lin Yi continued live streaming with He Li, and the results were as good as ever.

After the stream ended, Lin Yi sat by himself.

He was also pondering how to complete the system task.

Aside from competition, price was a crucial factor.

If the price was too high, headquarters wouldn’t consider it.

If they decided to move elsewhere, it could impact the system task.

Because expansion like this is straightforward.

With money in hand, you can do what you want, so it doesn’t qualify as a system task.

Thus, he needed to tackle not only competitors but also the price.

First, he had to figure out everyone involved with that plot of land before proceeding.

But such matters should be directed to Ji Qingyan.

"Ma’am, is there any car you’d like to see? I can introduce it for you."

At this moment, Lin Yi noticed He Li walking over with a woman towards him.

The woman was dressed very discreetly, with a mask and black sunglasses.

Her appearance was completely concealed.

Yet her demeanor suggested she was slightly older than Lin Yi.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Lin Yi realized she was looking at him.
