75: Chapter 75 Zhang Hanyu's Plan
Zhang Hanyu had a bit of an ulterior motive for wanting to invite Lin Yi to the banquet.
It would certainly be impolite to rashly ask about the family background of a wealthy young master like Lin Yi, who was so lavish with his spending.
Zhang Hanyu had previously tried to investigate through other channels whether there was a Lin family in Nanling City or surrounding cities.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find any useful information at all.
In the end, he checked based on the personal information Lin Yi left when purchasing the property and was surprised to find that Lin Yi was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.
How could this be possible?
At eighteen or nineteen years old, spending so lavishly, with expenses reaching tens of millions, how could he have such strength if he wasn't a young master from a prominent family?
Being unable to find information could only mean one thing: the family force behind Lin Yi was massive.
It was not something someone like him could easily touch.
Because of this, Zhang Hanyu's intention to befriend Lin Yi grew even stronger.
If he could connect with Lin Yi, perhaps Haoyu Group could reach a higher level in Nanling City!
And Haoyu Group's biggest competitor in Nanling City to date was the Li Group.
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies.
The Li Group had started earlier than their Haoyu Group and occupied more resource advantages.
Although Haoyu Group had developed rapidly in recent years, it was always firmly suppressed by the Li Group.
Zhang Hanyu also knew what Li Runze was going to announce at the banquet.
In the industry, this was no longer a secret.
Su Ming's father, Su Yue, whose company was on the verge of bankruptcy, wanted to seek a business marriage with the Li Group.
What Li Runze was going to announce at that time was that he and Su Ming were preparing to get engaged.
Originally, Zhang Hanyu didn't have any other thoughts about this.
After all, this kind of thing was very normal.
Although it sounded a bit like Su Yue was selling his daughter.
However, the business world is like a battlefield; no one will offer you a helping hand for no reason.
In order to ensure one's own interests, making some sacrifices was understandable.
However, when Zhang Hanyu went to Lin Yi's villa that day, he happened to see Su Ming there.
This instantly piqued Zhang Hanyu's interest.
Su Ming was about to get engaged to Li Runze, yet she seemed to have a close relationship with Lin Yi.
On the first day Lin Yi bought his new house, he invited Su Ming over.
Their relationship was definitely extraordinary.
Since that was the case... if Lin Yi appeared at the banquet organized by Li Runze, when Li Runze announced the engagement news, how would Lin Yi react?
A woman is a man's greatest face when out and about.
Watching the woman he fancies get engaged to someone else, even if Lin Yi did nothing at the time, surely he would bear a grudge against the Li Group from then on because of this.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend.
By then, he, Zhang Hanyu, could openly propose a collaboration with Lin Yi to target the Li Group together.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hanyu was a bit impressed with himself.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that Su Ming would also be going.
Su Ming's favorability was currently not low, and he hadn't had a chance to farm much cashback yet.
It was a good chance to see if there would be an opportunity to make a big profit from Su Ming on the day of the banquet.
"Alright, then send me the address when the time comes."
Lin Yi agreed immediately.
Hearing Lin Yi's agreement, a look of successful planning flashed in Zhang Hanyu's eyes.
...
After playing games for the whole afternoon, the time quickly reached six in the evening.
Lin Yi naturally hadn't forgotten that he had promised Li Tong to have dinner together.
Seeing that it was about time, Lin Yi sent a message to Li Tong and then headed towards the girls' dormitory.
When he arrived at the entrance of the girls' dormitory building, Li Tong was already waiting there.
For this dinner tonight, Li Tong had been doing her makeup and dressing up since after three in the afternoon.
"Lin Yi!"
Upon seeing Lin Yi, Li Tong waved at him from afar.
Tonight, she deliberately wore a grey spaghetti-strap crop top, with her two plump mounds tightly constricted, as if they were about to pop out at any moment.
Her flat midriff was also fully displayed at this moment.
On her lower body, a pair of slightly tight denim shorts perfectly outlined Li Tong's perfect hip shape.
Under the shorts, which were short to the thigh roots, were a pair of fair, beautiful legs.
Without any excess fat, yet soft and supple just right, they looked like they could be pinched and water would come out.
One has to say, in terms of figure, Li Tong was truly top-tier.
"Let's go."
Lin Yi couldn't help but take a few extra looks at Li Tong, then led her towards the parking lot.
Li Tong lowered her head slightly and shyly took Lin Yi's arm.
It was her first time dressing so boldly.
And Lin Yi's fiery gaze just now made Li Tong feel that she had dressed correctly today.
Moreover, after taking Lin Yi's arm, Lin Yi did not dodge.
The surrounding students also cast gossiping gazes at the two.
Li Tong felt a bit proud inside, as if declaring ownership, and gripped Lin Yi's arm even tighter.
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Lin Yi's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate slightly.
He involuntarily leaned closer to Li Tong.
Arriving at the parking lot, Lin Yi thoughtfully opened the car door for Li Tong.
Then, with a step on the gas, he drove out of the school gate.
Not far away, Zhou Zhengyi saw this scene in its entirety.
And he even took a picture with his phone.
"Lin Yi, you just wait!"
"Sooner or later, I will ruin your reputation!"
"When I manage to capture intimate scenes of you and Su Ming in the future, you'll be finished!"
"I will post it on the campus network so everyone knows you are someone who toys with girls' feelings!"
"I will make Su Ming and Li Tong see your true colors!"
"You damn scumbag!"
On the other side, another figure watched with wide eyes as Lin Yi drove away from the school with Li Tong.
It was Guan Zhixue, who had just returned from outside the school.
At this moment, Guan Zhixue was disheveled, with a few scratch marks on her face, looking exceptionally bedraggled.
The house Liu Jiangbo rented for her outside of school had somehow been discovered by Liu Jiangbo's wife.
This afternoon, Guan Zhixue was taking a nap inside.
Suddenly, she heard a violent knocking on the door.
Guan Zhixue thought the person had the wrong place, and having been woken up, she opened the door, preparing to vent her anger.
But she didn't expect that Liu Jiangbo's wife would bring people and barge right in.
Without saying a word, she berated Guan Zhixue fiercely.
She even threw all of Guan Zhixue's clothes and daily necessities out into the hallway.
She didn't even spare the new earrings Guan Zhixue was wearing on her ears.
In the struggle, Guan Zhixue took several solid slaps from Liu Jiangbo's wife.
Liu Jiangbo's wife also warned Guan Zhixue to pack up and move out within half a day, and if she continued to have an unclean relationship with Liu Jiangbo, she would expose this matter to Nanling University.
She would let all the teachers and students in the school know that Guan Zhixue was a shameless mistress.
After Liu Jiangbo's wife left, Guan Zhixue hurriedly called Liu Jiangbo, but discovered that she had already been blocked by him.
In utter despair, Guan Zhixue had no choice but to silently pack her things alone and walk back to school in a daze.
At this moment, she had nowhere to go and could only return to the dormitory.
But she didn't expect that just as she entered the school gate, she would see Li Tong, dressed up flamboyantly, getting into a car with Lin Yi.
