Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

103 (ii)

The hall was already set up, with a stage at the front where the signing ceremony would take place, and rows of seats below.

Lin Yi found a seat and sat down.

The ceremony wouldn't start for a while yet.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yi took out his phone to play around.

At this moment, an unfriendly voice sounded beside him: "I recognize you. You're the guy who was dining with Zhuang Che at the restaurant that day, right?"

Lin Yi looked up and saw Sun Ye and his group of lackeys.

One of the lackeys whispered to Sun Ye, "Boss Ye, I found out. This guy is called Lin Yi."

Sun Ye nodded. "Lin Yi, huh? Didn't you confidently say that Zhuang Che would earn ten million within three months? Let's see if your boast holds up."

Lin Yi didn't bother talking to Sun Ye, giving him a fleeting glance before continuing to scroll through his phone.

Sun Ye: "..."

This Lin Yi actually dared to ignore him?!

Sun Ye couldn't stand it and plopped down next to Lin Yi, sneering, "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. I'll stay and watch the outcome with you."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Those words should be directed at yourself. By the way, I heard your bet with Zhuang Che was a million yuan, right? Did you bring the money today?"

Sun Ye and Zhuang Che had made a bet: If Zhuang Che could earn ten million on his own within three months, Sun Ye would give him a million yuan; otherwise, Zhuang Che would give Sun Ye a million yuan.

Sun Ye choked for a moment, then said, "You can't seriously believe that Zhuang Che will sign this deal today and earn ten million, can you?"

Lin Yi calmly replied, "Yes, that's exactly what I believe."

Sun Ye: "..."

Meanwhile, Zhuang Che had been busy for a long time and finally had a chance to catch his breath. He urgently searched the crowd for Lin Yi and spotted him.

His expression brightened as he approached Lin Yi. "Lin Yi, you came!"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. "To witness your glorious achievement."

Zhuang Che, who had become more composed after recent trials, almost blushed at Lin Yi's words. "It's okay, I haven't done anything particularly great."

At this moment, Sun Ye sneered from the side, "Young Master Zhuang, you've only been independent for a few days, and you're already so arrogant?"

Zhuang Che noticed Sun Ye and instinctively explained, "I didn't see you just now."

Sun Ye gave a contemptuous laugh. "Who would believe that?"

Sun Ye was known in the circle of wealthy second-generation kids for being difficult to deal with. Once he targeted someone, they usually didn't have a good outcome.

Zhuang Che frowned and prepared to explain again.

At this moment, Lin Yi lazily retorted, "Does it matter whether you believe it or not? You don't have that much face."

Sun Ye: "..."

He gritted his teeth in anger.

Why did this Lin Yi always manage to defeat him verbally so easily?!

Seeing Sun Ye losing face, one of the lackeys quickly changed the subject, "Zhuang Che, are you really going to sign a big deal today? It better not be a bluff."
