Epiphanies of Rebirth

Chapter 47

Views:

On Qi Qing's side, Qi Kai snuggled up on the sofa in his reception area with a cigar in his mouth, and did not appear serious for the two guests who came to visit him. But in fact Jiang Chacha and Qi Qing did not dare to disagree. They made a special trip almost every day, but they were not lucky enough to be received by Qi Kai every day.

Qi Qing put the list of personnel of his company that had changed drastically in the recent period on the coffee table, and he and his wife Jiang Qia glanced at each other, and they could see the sorrow between the other's eyebrows.

Although the company on the other side of the group did not cancel its name, it almost went bankrupt. When the two first arrived in Yan City, they were preparing to make a comeback. They had indeed planned to recruit some excellent employees. To be honest, when Qi Kai first thought of using this trick to deal with Lin Jingzhe, they were very happy. After all, people are now scarce, and capable people are all rushing to big companies with long-standing foundations and upstarts who seem to have a bright future. Running the company, with their current contacts and reputation in Yan City, it is difficult to recruit people who are willing to come here in a short period of time. Qi Kai's order, if it is done well, is to solve their own problems!

At the beginning, everyone was really happy. With Qi Kai's means, they got the qualification to participate in the bidding meeting, which was impossible to get, and rented the office building in Yan City, which was impossible to rent. In just a few days They recruited outstanding employees who met their expectations in the development stage. Many talents who originally went for the fame of the real estate king trading were also retained by their high salaries. After having employees and regular venues, Originally, the image of Qiqing Real Estate, who seemed to be singing on a wild stage, quickly became formalized.

Furthermore, due to the promotion of many job seekers, they have suddenly gained a lot of presence in the real estate industry in Yan City.

Qi Qing was very happy at the time, and when chatting with Jiang Chacha, he talked about his uneasy decision to follow Qi Kai and thus offending Lin Jingzhe. Now it seems that their choice was indeed correct.

It's a pity that the happy atmosphere didn't last long. Within a few days, the couple who were still complacent discovered something beyond their expectations.

Qi Qing looked at Qi Kai, who was lying on his back and relaxed on the sofa. He considered his words for a while, and reported carefully: "Mr. Qi, more and more people have come to interview recently. We will follow your instructions and start all preparations for visiting the door. All the real estate people have been hired, and as of this morning, there have been thirty-seven people in total."

Qi Kai split his legs and shook his knees, lying on his back on the back of the sofa, with the back of his head over the top of the back, facing the ceiling. He closed his eyes and took a cigar. He was not very willing to pay attention to the two people on the opposite side. Hearing that, he just hummed lazily, not even moving his eyelids.

Although he asked Qi Qing and Jiang Cha-cha to do things for him, he didn't necessarily like them in his heart, or he didn't like the people who traveled thousands of miles from other cities to seek a life in Yan, let alone Qi Qing and Jiang Cha-cha. There is no background, and there is a gap like a gulf with him in terms of identity.

Qi Qing could clearly feel that his love was ignored, and his heart was a little sad: Once upon a time, he also played the role of Qi Kai! In Qunnan, he needs status and status, and his parents have the ability to run a promising industry. People around him originally praised Qi Kai, but when he arrived in Yan City, he suddenly became grandson.

He has his self-esteem, Qi Kai doesn't want to see him, and he may not really want to come, but life is realistic and cruel, just like the present.

Qi Qing was silent for a moment, but still suppressed his inner emotions, and then continued meekly: "... Of these thirty-seven people, four of them were unwilling to stay. The salary of the management is 1,200 yuan a month. For the remaining 33, you can take a look. Here is the list, and everyone's monthly salary is about 700 to 800 yuan."

Qi Kai took a look and immediately opened his eyes slightly wider: "Why so many?"

The monthly salary of personnel is close to 30,000. The number of employees in his company is several times more than the number of 37, and the monthly salary expenses are only a little more than this number.

Qi Qing smiled bitterly: "You said that as long as you keep people at all costs, some people have a very tough attitude, and we can only offer a high price. In recent days, news may have spread, and many people are directly rushing to this amount. , I opened my mouth to mention seven hundred and eighty hundred. This number is already the result of control. Now HR has accumulated a lot of resumes, and there are people who are working in other companies and want to change jobs. We all postponed the interview until the end of the month. , otherwise it will be more than 30,000, and 50,000 per month may not be enough to spend."

Qi Kai was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and seriously, it was his fault.

But he was never someone who was willing to admit his mistakes. He was embarrassed in his heart, but his expression became more and more tough. He frowned, patted the document back on the sofa, and squinted at Qi Qing: "So what did you want to say when you came here today?"

Of course Qi Qing wanted to ask for money. When Qi Kai brought up this matter, he only thought that he could also benefit, but also felt that it was not easy to hug his thighs, and the relationship between the two parties should be enhanced, so he tried his best to take care of himself. Qi Kai didn't know whether he really forgot or faked it. He never mentioned the question of money, so Qi Qing was embarrassed to open his mouth. The recruited employees all paid for him and Jiang Qia Qia.

In fact, he still has some savings in his hand, which was originally a real estate project developed by Qiqing Real Estate in Qunnan. After the poor management, he simply dragged the money and took it to Yan City as the starting capital for the company. But no matter how much money, it can't stand such a disaster. Jiang Qia has quarreled with him many times in recent days. The central idea is that Qi Kai is too inauthentic. I thought the pie would fall from the sky, but when I took a bite, the filling turned out to be bitter!

The office building Qi Kai snatched from Lin Jingzhe looked fine at first, and the floor area and lighting floor were all suitable, but after signing the contract, Jiang Qia Qia realized that this place was very impractical for them. . This place is too expensive and too big. Qiqing Real Estate is different from when they were in Qunnan. They simply don’t have so many employees to settle, and they don’t have enough project income to support them renting such an expensive office space. Qi Kai is not a saint, of course it is impossible to pay this amount of money. Jiang Qia and Qi Qing did not dare to go back on the money after packing the ticket, so the rent for the whole two years was completely paid out through gritted teeth.

But the house is to be used by them, so they can pay for it by themselves. What about the employee's salary expenses? !

Qiqing Real Estate has no projects at the moment. It is enough to recruit a dozen people in the initial stage. The rest is all Qi Kai's meaning. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to offer wages that are at least twice the market price. .

Why do these extra costs come from? Everyone knows it well, how can Qi Kai be at ease and not give at all

Qi Qing hesitated. Before he came, he and his wife had discussed that he must not suffer from this dumb loss, but he was worried that breaking Qi Kai, who was pretending to be stupid, would cause the relationship between the two sides to break down directly. This was not a consequence he would like to see.

But before he could open his mouth, the eldest brother Qi Kai had thrown on the sofa rang loudly. Qi Kai got up and lazily touched it. He didn't hear a few words, and his state of being lazy like an otter immediately changed , The whole person seems to have been injected with a booster, and the spirit is alive.

He sat up straight with a swipe, and stopped smoking the cigar. He took it off and threw it aside, and asked the other end of the phone, "Are you sure? The source is absolutely correct?!"

Perhaps he got an affirmative answer, and his eyes immediately brightened, like two black gems thrown into white mercury, and the whole person was full of excitement.

"Okay! Okay! I get it!" He said to the phone, "You come to the company to talk to me in the afternoon, and keep an eye on the real estate developments! Don't be discovered by them!"

Then he threw away the big brother who looked like a brick, stood up excitedly and paced around the room in a circle. what… "

Qi Qing was taken aback by his appearance, and immediately became nervous. What he wanted to say just now was swallowed back in his stomach: "Mr. Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Kai was interrupted to think and glanced at them. Maybe he needed someone too much to share his inner joy. He immediately returned to the sofa area and sat down. Damn it, do you know the bidding meeting at the end of next month?"

"I know." How could he not know, Qi Qing only held Qi Kai's thigh for this bidding meeting, and he worked hard to get a qualification certificate, just to get a small amount at the bidding meeting. A piece of land, share a bite of the rapid development of Yan City's real estate cake.

Regarding the bidding meeting this time, Qi Kai also held a special meeting with them, and listed and analyzed the land plots that were about to be auctioned and the companies that were about to compete with them. Qi Qing was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say at the time that the real estate would not participate in this tender?"

Qi Kai said bitterly: "Yeah, everyone was washed by him! If I hadn't been staring at me, I would have been blinded! Do you know what the phone call just said?!"

Qi Qing vaguely had a little guess in his heart: "Could it be... They suddenly handed in bidding materials?"

"Yes!" Qi Kai slapped his thigh, "It is estimated that Deng Mai Naya asked an acquaintance for fear of leaking the news, and she was so mysterious that she didn't hand it over until this morning, fuck! I was almost deceived!"

Since the establishment of the company, the company has bought a total of three pieces of land. The combined sale of two of these three pieces of land has made them nearly 100 million yuan. The remaining piece of land is now under the planning of the CBD business district in the north core location. It can be said that the transaction of the land king in the north of the city made them famous in the first battle. The Yanshi real estate industry even secretly gave Lin Jingzhe the nickname of "Dianjinshi", and he said and did everything he did, especially when it came to land plots. In terms of transactions, there is always a lot of attention.

Therefore, since the publicity of this bidding meeting began, people have been trying to capture the trend of the real estate, and the asking price is getting higher and higher. But it is a pity that, under such a lot of attention, the real estate has always been calm like a backwater. From Lin Jingzhe to Deng Mai, these two managers seem to have forgotten this grand event together.

The crowd began to riot three months ago, and now there is only more than a week left until the end of the bidding meeting, and there is still no clue.

The eyes gathered here disappeared in a hurry, and Qi Kai was no exception. If it weren't for the deepening of the conflict between the two sides recently, which caused him to add additional staff to keep an eye on Lin Jingzhe's movements, I'm afraid even he would have been deceived by Lin Jingzhe's false shot.

Qi Qing was also very surprised after hearing this. He approached Qi Kai and said, "It's true? It's not fake news, right?"

Qi Kai didn't answer, and shook his head slowly, as if he had lost his mind. After a while, he got up abruptly and went to the drawer at the desk to pull out a book of materials and a large map.

"The second place..." He opened the map and searched it sharply. After a while, his fingertips stayed in one place, "I found it!"

Qi Qing didn't know the situation, but he quickly got close to see. Jiang Qia just put down the teacup he had been holding in his hand and turned around. He hesitated when he saw the land: "More than 400,000 square meters...?"

This area is a bit too big for her.

Qi Qing opened the booklet and found the No. 2 land. After reading the introduction, he was a little stunned. He used to develop in Qunnan, and the price of land there is far less high than that in Yan City. Analysis: "I've seen this piece of land before, Wubao Mountain in the south of the city, the land price in that part of the city is already expensive. It's tens of millions of dollars for such a big piece, right?"

Qi Kai is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. In the past, when he was in the smuggling business in Qunnan, sometimes he could make a profit of this amount at one time. Although the banknotes were almost wiped out due to the overturning of the sewer, he was still here after all. Hearing this, he couldn't help sneering, mocking the other party's narrow vision in his heart: "How can land be cheap? It started with a piece of land in the real estate, and the king still patted it. It was more than 160 million, and the cost of their two pieces of land was added together, and it was almost 50 million."

The real estate business is like this, and the return on investment is also huge. Using less than 50 million to win back a net profit of more than 100 million, Lin Jingzhe didn't even pay any money at all when he repaid the loan. No matter where this business was placed, he could not pick out any What can be criticized, although Qi Kai doesn't like him, he can still admit it generously, so he doesn't want this smart opponent to continue to grow.

He used a pen to draw a large circle on the map at No. 2, a huge area in the south corner of the city, and then drew an equally striking asterisk next to it.

After Qi Qing was satirized by him, he suddenly calmed down. He was a little unconvinced before, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that what Qi Kai said was indeed reasonable.

His mind turned extremely fast. Seeing Qi Kai being so cautious, he immediately guessed that this business might contain unimaginable profits. The last time Lin Jingzhe invested 50 million, he made 100 million out of it. Now this No. 2 land needs 60 to 70 million to get it, so what kind of return would drive the other party to be so generous

In the same way, he also found more important content in what Qi Kai said to him just now.

It started with strict guarding against the real estate industry, and even delayed until the application process of the bidding meeting was about to end before carefully handing out the materials, presumably because they did not want their goals to be acquired by competitors in advance. But a mountain is still a mountain high, and they have exhausted their organs, but they can't hide it from Qi Kai's eyes and ears. The application form that was handed in in the morning was only in the afternoon, and even the content was clearly known to Qi Kai. How strict the confidentiality measures are in the real estate bidding process. Qi Qing, who has dealt with them many times in Qunnan, can't be more clear. Where ordinary businessmen can't even find the way to connect, Qi Kai seems to treat it as his own back garden. visit. The energy of the other party is probably far greater than he imagined.

Thinking of this, he was startled, and immediately dismissed the idea of asking the other party for the extra personnel expenses. This is really too short-sighted. Although it is possible to temporarily relieve their economic pressure, when the company is just getting a foothold, can they offend a backer capable of taking them to the sky for the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands? With Qi Kai's ability, he didn't even need to make any big moves, just taking them to play with them when he bought land for a project like now, and gave them some news, the benefits they could bring to them were already incalculable.

Qi Kai sent off the couple who visited the house every day, and happened to meet the friend who tipped him off. This friend is a full-time news dealer. He is very well-informed. He not only knows Qi Qing and his wife who are famous in the Yan City workplace recently because of the company's high salary, but also grasps the trends in Qi Kai's company. After entering the office, he couldn't help asking him curiously. : "Why do these two come to you every day?"

Qi Kai had always pretended not to understand the hidden meaning of the other party's words in front of Qi Qing before, but now he sneered when he heard the words: "What else can I do, come to ask for money."

He felt mockery in his heart, are Qi Qing and Jiang Qiaqia sick? He came to Zhenxiong to ask for money, do you really think he is doing charity

They are using the office, and the people they recruited are also employees of Qiqing Real Estate. If you don't have that diamond, you shouldn't have done the porcelain work in the first place. Do you really think that all the help he does is free

"Don't talk about them." Thinking of these two blind country bumpkins made him upset, Qi Kai changed the subject, pulled his friend to sit down on the sofa, and quickly began to discuss the real estate transaction information.

Qi Kai is very cautious. Recently, he and Lin Jingzhe have been fighting hard. Except for the tires of the car being poked at the beginning, Lin Jingzhe has been passively beaten since then. Based on his understanding of the other party, this person is definitely not such a submissive character. If he can't keep up, he is churning with bad water and wants to trick him.

His friend also knew that he was suspicious, so he simply took a copy of the information that Lin Jingzhe handed over to him.

After seeing this exact information, Qi Kai completely believed it, but he still had some doubts about the land on No. 2, which was more than 400,000 square meters.

He couldn't figure it out. Except for the larger area, this piece of land was not really outstanding in all aspects of this auction. Nowadays, the fastest-growing and most promising urban area in Yan City is obviously the north of the city. The land price changes every day or even several times a day. Apart from them, the remaining five pieces of land are scattered and scattered, all of which are of little interest. Although Wubao Mountain is not too bad in all aspects, it is only valued by the industry based on its more than 400,000 square meters. Tens of millions, compared with more than one hundred million of the 500,000 land kings in the north of the city a few months ago, you can see how ordinary it is.

Qi Kai racked his brains and couldn't figure it out: "How did you get your eyes on this place at the beginning? You shouldn't think about it."

He was a little more cautious: "I've been very bad with them recently. Do you think that the surnamed Lin is deliberately releasing news just to trick me?"

This kind of speculation is not impossible, and Qi Kai has been repaired by Xiao Chi in a similar way earlier, so that he took the land of Shiku Lane that had no prospects for development at the beginning. several years. Since then, he has had some shadows, and it is difficult to fully trust the opponent's purpose that is too directional.

But his friend thought he was a little overly concerned: "That's what you thought when you competed with Centrino Real Estate for the Dongtai Community. After you quit the competition, what happened?"

Qi Kai stared blankly at the table, and heard the other party's long voice saying to him word by word: "Centrino Real Estate has made a lot of money from this project—full—bowl—full—”

He suddenly let out a breath, and his eyes became a little gloomy. This project is indeed an old wound that has always been like a needle in his heart.

At that time, Xiao Chi used this specious method to make him think too much and then quit the competition. The second time he used the same method and another form to trick him.

He can't figure out what is true and what is false now. In short, there are countless possibilities buried under this ambiguous attitude.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "How did you discover the data files that began? How could it be so coincidental that you saw them just after they handed them in this morning."

When his friend heard the question, he immediately became spirited: "This is a long story, and it really couldn't be more coincidental. The general manager surnamed Deng from the real estate was very careful. He didn't hand it over directly. We found a team leader who managed the bidding. He drank wine in private and gave him some benefits, and asked the team leader to sneak in. It stands to reason that even if I am so careful, it is unlikely that even I will find out, but if he is wrong, he is wrong. The team leader I was looking for was not very reliable, and he was still shy, and he missed three words during lunch."

Qi Kai's brows furrowed: "Deng Mai usually looks very shrewd, how could he find such a person?"

"Shrewdness has a fart." The friend sneered, "I know that person is unreliable, where did he know? I'll ask you, do you know?"

When Qi Kai thought about it, he couldn't help but nodded.

His friend took a sip of tea, and his face became nervous again: "I told you about this today, and I also told him to shut up on the team leader's side, don't let me lose the chain here, keep it a secret. Is it?"

Qi Kai nodded. He already initially believed in the authenticity of the news. Lin Jingzhe was procrastinating until the last week and was looking for a relationship. He was so cautious. Not too possible.

This was also the case when the other party took the northern plot of the city last time, like a fool, when everyone was retreating, he put his life on those few pieces of land that seemed to have no future, and then he flew into the sky like this.

To the outside world, he always said that he was lucky, but anyone with brains knew that it was a nonsense, and he had no confidence. He dared to do this

This time, the other party has taken a fancy to the unremarkable Wubao Mountain in the south of the city. How similar is it to the last time he was in the north of the city

******

Lin Jingzhe appeared at the bidding site without warning, causing many bidders who never expected him to come into a long whisper.

Qi Kai listened to the people around him who had no news at all, and was still wondering why Lin Jingzhe had come because he didn't submit the application, and then looked at Lin Jingzhe who led Deng Mai into the venue with a calm expression on his face as usual with a slight smile. , I can't help but feel a little complacent.

Looking at the other party's appearance as if he was winning, I'm afraid he thought that his sneaky methods were seamless, but he didn't even know that he had already found out about it.

The venue was not big, so the two of them met logically. Qi Kai was very personable this time: "Mr. Lin, you're late, it made me wait for a long time."

The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, as if countless old and new hatreds were pouring down from the cracks in the air, Lin Jingzhe stared at Qi Kai's eyes, his expression slightly restrained: "Mr. Qi knows that I'm coming?"

Hearing this question, Qi Kai immediately shrugged his shoulders innocently, spread his hands and said, "How come? Mr. Lin, you are so good at concealing it, how would I know?"

Lin Jingzhe turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of Deng Mai. Deng Mai also looked at him with a very alert gaze.

Seeing their behavior, Qi Kai was really relieved. He liked the pitiful appearance of others who were so anxious but didn't know what the problem was.

Lin Jingzhe ignored him again, and the smile on his face faded a little. Facing Qi Kai's intriguing smile, he passed by the other side, and was guided by the hostess to his seat.

When he met the serious and sharp gaze of the guest next door, he couldn't help showing a smile in his taut brows.

There are also familiar faces in the front and back. The leader of the Yanshi Real Estate Alliance, Dai Gaofeng, was sitting right in front of him. Seeing him sitting next to Xiao Chi, he looked back nervously and talked to him several times, as if he was afraid that the two of them would be together. Fight in public.

Lin Jingzhe spoke to him with a serious face. He sat upright, and opened a gap of about ten centimeters between his upper body and Xiao Chi. At the position that was covered by the back of the chair, he crossed his legs and used the toe of his shoe to slap Xiao Chi several times. trousers.

Xiao Chi stared at him with eagerness in his eyes, his downed hand slid slightly to the left, covering the back of his hand that was also propped on the stool.

Lin Jingzhe broke away very insincerely, and left the chair with his hand, but was completely caught by that fiery big palm.

Holding the corner of his mouth that he wanted to raise, he squinted at Xiao Chi and said hello with a half-smile, "Mr. Xiao, how have you been recently?"

Xiao Chi changed slightly from the state of holding his palm, his fingers penetrated between his fingers one by one, tightened, and the two sides interlaced their fingers tacitly.

He said, "Not so good."

Lin Jingzhe recently renovated his office and became very busy. He hadn't been able to see him for several days.

Lin Jingzhe gently rubbed the skin of the back of the opponent's hand under his fingertips. The palms he clasped seemed to have been ironed out by a thin layer of sweat. He stared at the opponent's eyes and lips. He wanted to say something but felt that it was unnecessary. , the smile that he tried to suppress couldn't help but leak out a little.

Lying on the grass, Dai Gaofeng was terrified at the front.

In these two short greetings, the smell of gunpowder was so strong that even he could smell it. What was Lin Jingzhe's sneer? Xiao Chi actually said that he was not doing well!

Who the hell arranged the seats! Actually put these two together!

Because of these two people, they were silent for a while, for fear of being involved in some disputes that had nothing to do with them. It wasn't until the filming ceremony started that the atmosphere became more lively.

Lin Jingzhe's sudden arrival at the scene inevitably led to a lot of speculation. The other party didn't leak any news until he arrived at the scene. It was obviously because of a certain inevitable transaction that was kept secret. Everyone couldn't help but wonder which piece of land he was looking for. After all, among the seven pieces of land that participated in the auction this time, except for the two popular pieces in the finale of the north of the city, the other five pieces have no special highlights.

But Lin Jingzhe's behavior was not what they expected.

After the auction of No. 1 Land was completed, the No. 2 curtain was unveiled. This piece of wilderness, located at the foot of Wubao Mountain, with an area of more than 400,000 square meters, has no advantages beyond people's sight except that it is larger. The auctioneer reported The starting price is also within the previous industry estimate of 55 million.

In Yan City, the price of land is now rising, and it is very cost-effective to buy a piece of land of more than 400,000 yuan at this price, so people immediately start bidding.

The bidding went up to 60 million, and the frequency of price increases gradually began to slow down until there was only one bidder left. The auctioneer seemed to have expected this price, and raised the hammer calmly: "63 million ,the first time."

"Sixty-three million, the second time—"

"Sixty-three million, the first—"

Before she could say the word, the hammer was about to fall, but a sign was suddenly raised in the originally quiet venue.

Deng Mai raised Lin Jingzhe's number plate, and after Lin Jingzhe nodded slightly, he said loudly, "70 million."

The auctioneer didn't react for a moment, and he suddenly returned to his senses after two seconds. After seeing who was participating in the price increase, he immediately came to the spirit: "70 million—"

It is obviously imperative to increase the price by seven million in one breath. After everyone realized that the representative of the real estate started speaking, there was an uproar.

The previous bidder glanced in Lin Jingzhe's direction in astonishment, but since the price had exceeded his psychological expectations, the sign he was holding was put down after a moment of hesitation.

The other businessmen who had been watching the scene suddenly started to move.

This was Lin Jingzhe's first public acquisition of land after the transfer of the land king, and in order to get rid of his opponent, he added 7 million at one time.

Could there be something unusual about this unremarkable second land? It was like this when he took Shiku Lane in the north of the city. Before the price of land skyrocketed, everyone regarded him as a fool who was desperately hoarding land.

So someone quickly added: "Seventy-one million—"

Lin Jingzhe didn't give in an inch, and bit the opponent: "Seventy-two million—"

The price was increased again until it reached 80 million. This price, which had exceeded the estimate, made the people who originally acted again become cautious.

Lin Jingzhe let Deng Mai shout 80 million, then he leaned back in the chair very quietly with his eyes down. Facing the gazes of many conjectures, he was not confused, and his whole body exuded a strong, like The oppressive fighting spirit of large carnivores in the face of their prey.

He seemed to be certain that the land would be taken by himself. The auctioneer on the auction platform quickly picked up his professionalism after a short accident. She picked up the small hammer again, and after repeating the quotation twice, the high lift-

At this moment, there was a corner of the crowd that had never seen any movement since the filming started, but a startling voice came out again.

Jiang Qia Qia held up Qi Kai's number plate, which symbolized Zhenxiong Real Estate, and shouted in a trembling voice—

— "Eighty-five million!"

After a short silence, the noise that gradually subsided sounded again, everyone whispered and speculated, Lin Jingzhe was no longer as calm as before, he turned his head to look in Qi Kai's direction.

Qi Kai narrowed his eyes and smiled at him with a relaxed look on his face.

Eyes facing each other, there was a long silence, and the two were surrounded by loud noises.

Lin Jingzhe stared at his smiling face, but after a while, he did not show any grim or stunned expression as the other party thought.

He just nodded indifferently, the corners of his mouth curved into a polite arc, and then looked back—

"I give up."

Qi Kai was stunned for a second.

Then the smile on his face gradually solidified.
