Chapter 243 – Odd Terms

Jingyi cried out at the sound of the bottle shattering- she still had business with Lin Yi! How was he supposed to help her steal stuff when some gangster opened a hole in his head out of nowhere?

But the bottle hadnt shattered on Lin Yis face- it had done so on Scarfaces, with the other half of the bottle in Lin Yis hand.

Scarface was evidently a fighter- he didnt so much as cry out after Lin Yi had shattered the bottle on his head. He steeled himself as he stood up to look at Lin Yi coldly. Bro- which street do you come from? Didnt you know that the northern market areas Scar Bro territory? You here to cause trouble?

Scram. Lin Yi repeated as he picked Scarfaces skewer stick up and flung it at his face with a violent flick- it pierced right into the side of his face.

Argh!! Scarface couldnt hold the scream in- the face was a senstitive part of the body, and the hole in the cheek was simply too much!

Scarface was looking a little terrified- the bamboo stick was extremely light, and Lin Yi had managed to pierce it through with a casual throw This wasnt something just anyone could do.

Yet Scarface was a hardboiled man- he didnt make any more sounds after the initial cry. Gritting his teeth, he plucked the stick out. Brother, I admit Im not as strong as you are- but dont go stepping on other peoples heads!

Who the hell are you calling brother? Im an orphan! Get lost or get more sticks in your face! Lin Yi said casually without even raising his head, clealry looking down at him.

This isnt the last youll see of me! Scarface said as he started moving away. Stay here and wait if youve got balls!

Hurry up if youre gonna get backup, I still have stuff to do after this! Im leaving after I finish lunch. Lin Yi wasnt about to just waste his time with a bunch of gangsters just because the guy was trying to provoke him.

Scarface paused before waving to his three followers, and they left the stall quickly.

Scar Bro, why didnt you let us go at him? A follower named Zi Mao asked.

Guys a fighter- might be a proper practitioner! We cant just take him head on like that. Scarface explained. Him sticking a skewer stick into my face like that proves it- hes no normal human!

Scarfaces followers all nodded at the words. Yeah, but what do we do? Are we gonna just take it? It wont look good for us in the food street!

Of course were not gonna just take it! Were going to Guang Bro! Scarface said.

Yeah, Guang Bro! Lets get Guang Bro to bring some men and chop him down! Zi Mao said excitedly.

Jingyi was quite shocked at Lin Yis reve al – she never expected that hed be an orphan! She wouldnt for a second think that the guy was joking, however No one joked about their parents like that.

Naturally, there was also another thing that Jingyi was shocked about, and that was the skill Lin Yi had displayed! She knew that Lin Yi was fast with his hands after hed picked Wu Chentians wallet, but she didnt think hed be this fast at attacking too! She couldnt even see how the bottle got taken from Scarfaces hand before Lin Yi smashed it against his head!

That skewer stick, too- the guy had used it like a shuriken! What the hell was this person?

She was about to ask Lin Yi if he knew kungfu when she realized the guy had started eating already- Jingyi was speechless.

The guy had just drew blood- how was he eating as if nothing had happened?

Fuu Ah, lets talk about the job? Lin Yi said, slowing down after the twentieth skewer.

The opposing party is a trading company as well, and they take on the same type of projects we do. Computers, stuff like that. Jingyi explained. But when one of our managers gave a supervisor from another company a rebate It somehow got filmed, and now the opposing partys using it to threaten our company

Oh.. I see. Does their company not do that rebate thing? Lin Yi asked as he picked up two more skewers.

Its not a secret in this industry- everyone does it, its only natural to give the supervisor some benefits. The difference here is that our guy got filmed doing it. Jingyi said helplessly.

What happens to you guys if they expose it? Lin Yi asked.

We might get punished by certain departments and the ministry, and of course, well lose that client! Hes a major client of our company, and he always purchases more than ten million units of our computers and related products. This gets exposed and he cant be a supervisor anymore, and he might even have to take responsibility for other charges. Jingyi explained. The main concern here is this: Whos gonna work with our company after all this? Even a rebate is prone to exposure, whod work with a company this unsafe? Wed have to shut down business, most likely

Its that serious? Lin Yi didnt know much about business, but he had a good idea what the whole thing was about after the explanation. So what are their terms? If they just wanna take a competitor out, then theyve probably exposed the footage already, and we can stop with this thief talk.

Thats right. Jingyi nodded. But its not beneficial to them as well, if they do expose it- it just damages us, and there are other trading companies. Even if they remove us from the game, that doesnt guarantee that the clients would flock over to their company.

Talk about their demands. It was the whole point Lin Yi had gotten interested in the first place.

Their demand is that Id have to be the lover of their chairman. Jingyi said.

Wha- Pffff-!!! Lin Yi spat everything out of his mouth. Excuse me, what did you say? They want you to be the chairmans lover?

Yes! Jingyi nodded with certainty. So youre getting half of that demand- Ill be your lover, but I wont be obligated to provide any lover related services. Cause Im just half your lover.
