Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

Chapter 38

After a few days of recuperation from his foot injury, Lin Yi had improved significantly. At least he could walk on his own now, even if it was at a slow pace, which was much better than hopping around on one foot.

After breakfast, he spent the morning sitting on the living room sofa playing video games.

After all, this was what a carefree life was like-eating, drinking, and playing without a care in the world.

At one point, after finishing a game, he saw Ji Yunchuan enter the villa with a dejected look.

Lin Yi gave Ji Yunchuan several curious glances and asked, "What's wrong?"

Usually, Ji Yunchuan would be full of energy when he came over, but today he looked like a wilted eggplant.

Ji Yunchuan sat down next to Lin Yi and began to complain, "Sis-in-law, our family business seems to be in trouble."

Lin Yi had never delved into the specifics of Ji Yunchuan's family business, but as far as he knew, the Ji family was one of the top families in their circle. Why would they suddenly be in trouble?

He asked Ji Yunchuan, "What happened?"

Ji Yunchuan frowned and said, "I'm not entirely sure. Usually, my brother and sister manage the business, but recently there have been some issues with the cash flow, and we can't keep up..."

Lin Yi understood what a cash flow problem meant for a company-it could spell disaster.

Not having any good ideas, he suggested, "Why don't you ask Big Brother Huo?"

Ji Yunchuan nodded, "That's why I came here. By the way, is Big Brother Huo in his study upstairs?"

Just then, Huo Jihan walked down the stairs.

Dressed in a black suit, his expression remained as indifferent as ever. He asked, "What do you need?"

Ji Yunchuan immediately turned to him, looking anxious, "Big Brother Huo, you're finally here!!"

Then, Ji Yunchuan briefly explained his family's situation to Huo Jihan.

After listening, Huo Jihan calmly said, "I can invest a trillion, provided I get a share of the company."

A trillion!!

Ji Yunchuan felt like he had been given a new lease on life. With a trillion investment, his family's business could be saved.

He rushed towards Huo Jihan, exclaiming, "Big Brother Huo, you really do love me!!"

He knew that Huo Jihan was willing to help largely because of him, since their families had no business dealings with each other.

Huo Jihan slightly frowned and dodged Ji Yunchuan.

Ji Yunchuan, undeterred, laughed and said, "I know, only Sis-in-law can touch you!!"

Huo Jihan: "..."

Beside them, Lin Yi: "??"

Why bring him up out of nowhere?!

But hearing that Huo Jihan was willing to invest a trillion in the Ji family, Lin Yi couldn't help but think how great it would have been if he had met Huo Jihan in his previous life.

Given his previous dedication to his career, if Huo Jihan had invested in him, he would have thrived in the investment banking field.

Too bad!

At that moment, Huo Jihan told Ji Yunchuan, "Have your elder brother come talk to me later."

Ji Yunchuan usually had nothing to do with the family business; he had an elder brother and sister who handled things.
