The Heroine Makes Her First Appearance

After leaving home, Lin Yi chose the most low-key car in the garage: a custom Maybach.

When he parked below the teaching building, he saw three brightly colored sports cars parked in front of him. One look was enough to tell him they belonged to his three roommates.

The classroom was on the third floor. As Lin Yi headed upstairs, a delicate-featured girl in a white dress came down toward him.

The girl seemed to be in a great hurry, and the documents in her arms spilled all over the floor. She quickly crouched down to pick them up.

Seeing this, Lin Yi stepped forward to help and handed the papers he picked up to her.

"You dropped these too."

"Thank you, thank you."

The girl hurriedly looked up to thank him. When she saw Lin Yi's face, she froze. Once she came to her senses, she quickly covered her face with the documents and fled.

Lin Yi was puzzled by her strange behavior. Was she afraid he would recognize her?

He really couldn't remember where he had met her, so he stopped thinking about her. Although the girl was exactly his type, he already had the mother of his child.

When he arrived at the classroom, quite a few classmates were already there. Though they had studied together for three years, he couldn't remember many of their names. He was still more familiar with his roommates.

When Zhang Jian saw Lin Yi enter the classroom, he stood up and waved both hands. "Brother Yi, over here."

Lin Yi sat down beside them and, seeing the dark circles under their eyes, asked, "Had a wild night yesterday, huh?"

Sun Chaoqiang said excitedly, "Brother Yi, you have no idea how many pretty girls there were last night."

Lin Yi grimaced. He couldn't say he admired his roommates' taste.

Meanwhile, the girl ran outside. She was relieved to see that no one had followed her, but worry came on its heels. "Where's the child? What did he come here for? Could he have sent the child away?"

As the girl's thoughts ran wild, the sound of a car braking sharply interrupted her.

By the time she came to her senses, a black sedan had stopped in front of her. Realizing she was at fault, she quickly bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The man had been full of anger, but when he saw that the girl was prettier than a female celebrity, he waved a hand with a grin. "It's fine, it's fine."

After crossing the road, the girl checked the time on her phone. Thinking she was going to be late, she anxiously flagged down a taxi.

"Driver, the Chenmei Building, please. Sorry for the trouble, but could you hurry?"

Meanwhile, Zhang Jianlin walked into the classroom with a class roster.

The noisy classroom fell so quiet that a pin dropping on the floor could have been heard.

Zhang Jianlin looked at the students and cleared his throat. "I called everyone here today to talk about your graduation theses."

"In a little while, I'll send five topics to the class group chat. You can each choose one."

"Is there anything else?"

He looked at the students as he asked. When no one spoke, he dismissed them on the spot.

After the class adviser left, the students grew impatient one after another. He could have just told them about it in the class group chat, so why insist on calling them to school?

Even Zhang Jian and the others began cursing. "The adviser's nuts. Isn't he just putting us through the wringer?"

"Making trouble out of nothing. If I weren't afraid of not graduating, I wouldn't have bothered coming."

"Exactly. He takes a chicken feather for an imperial edict every day."

Lin Yi felt the same way. If he had known this was all it was, he wouldn't have come. Wouldn't it have been better to spend more time at home with Tangtang?

His business at school was finished, but Lin Yi still had to make a trip to the company.

His roommates had stayed up all night, so they were getting ready to go back and catch up on sleep.

After they said goodbye, Lin Yi looked at the address his mother had sent him: "Chenmei Building, 28F."

After getting into the car, Lin Yi drove toward the Chenmei Building. The company was quite far away, and it would take forty minutes to get there by car.

Before long, Lin Yi arrived downstairs at the company. After parking the car, he entered the elevator in the Chenmei Building and pressed 28F.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Yi saw the words "Bullfighting Livestream" in large characters. The floor was spacious, and Bullfighting was the only company on it.

The receptionist was a young woman of twenty-five. When she saw Lin Yi approaching, she smiled and asked, "Sir, how may I help you?"

"I'm looking for the person in charge of your company."

"Are you here to see President Hu? Do you have an appointment?"

The young woman asked uncertainly. The man in front of her was simply too young, so she had to check. If she accidentally let some shady character in, her job would be finished.

"No. Just tell him I'm Lin Yi."

"All right, please wait a moment."

Seeing how serious Lin Yi was, the young woman called the president's office.

"Beep, beep, beep~" When the call connected, Hu Hailin's voice came from the other end.

"This is Hu Hailin."

"President Hu, there's someone named Lin Yi at the entrance asking for you."

After hearing what the receptionist said, Hu Hailin sprang excitedly to his feet.

"Um... bring him in. Actually, never mind. I'll come out and greet him myself."

Realizing it would be somewhat inappropriate to have Lin Yi come in on his own, he hurriedly changed his mind.

After hanging up, the young woman was stunned. The company's boss was actually coming to greet the man in front of her personally. She couldn't help wondering who Lin Yi was.

She spoke to Lin Yi with even greater respect. "Sir, please wait a moment. President Hu will be here shortly."

Lin Yi nodded, feeling rather displeased. His dissatisfaction was simply because he felt his time was being wasted; he wanted to get home early to keep his precious daughter company.

Before long, Hu Hailin led a group of senior executives to the company entrance. When he saw Lin Yi, he went up to greet him warmly. "President Lin, I'm Hu Hailin. Just call me Old Hu."

When Hu Hailin saw that Lin Yi was standing, he roared at the young receptionist, "Why did you leave President Lin standing? Didn't you know to get him a stool and bring him some tea?"

The young receptionist felt deeply wronged. When they hired her, nobody had said she would have to do these things!

Hu Hailin then turned to Lin Yi with a smile. "President Lin, my subordinate failed to receive you properly. Please forgive us."

"It's fine."

Everyone around them was stunned by the scene. That was their boss! Even he was bowing and scraping before this man, making them even more curious about Lin Yi's identity.

Lin Yi said calmly, "Old Lin, let's sign the contract right away."

They hadn't expected Lin Yi to be so straightforward and hadn't even brought the contract. Hu Hailin said awkwardly, "President Lin, why don't we go to my office for some tea before signing the contract?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi knew they hadn't brought the contract. Hu Hailin was a shrewd old hand; no wonder he had made Bullfighting the number one livestreaming company in the country.

Lin Yi still had to give him this bit of face. He pursed his lips and said, "All right."

"President Lin, this way, please."

Hu Hailin raised a hand, and a large group followed the two men, ready to attend to their orders at any time. The employees working inside saw the scene and thought some high-ranking leader had come down for an inspection.
