Chapter 238: Running into the barrel
In a private room, the four of them sat down one after another, but this time the three brothers were completely different from when they arrived.
Looking at Lin Yi next to them, none of them knew what to say for a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
Lin Yi was also helpless about this.
Initially, he didn't admit his identity because he was afraid such a thing would happen.
Sure enough, after they learned about his identity, each of them became restrained.
There's no helping it, after all, his reputation precedes him.
"Uh, uh, so, you are the... uh, are you really Chairman Lin??"
The first to speak was the somewhat straightforward Niu Yuanben, who quickly corrected himself when he habitually called out "Loser Lin".
Joking aside, calling him that behind his back is fine, but facing such a big shot, none of them had the courage to call him "Loser Lin".
Despite being a few months younger, they had to recognize that Lin Yi was on the same level as Ma from Tencent!
Having such a big shot right in front of them, it's understandable to feel nervous.
In contrast, Lin Yi picked up the glass of wine in front of him and gestured to everyone.
The three of them, seeing this, hurriedly raised their glasses as well.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi felt even more helpless:
"Hey, there's no need for this. 'Loser Lin' or not, I'm just a guy with a head on his shoulders. Come on, it's our first meeting today, let's have a drink. I often have a lot going on, and I need you guys to check in for me occasionally."
After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the glass of beer.
The others saw this and followed suit, finishing their drinks.
Perhaps it's the fearlessness of youth, or maybe the courage from drinking.
After downing several glasses, the atmosphere finally livened up.
But due to the many things Lin Yi had to deal with, he only drank one bottle of beer at the beginning and then stopped.
Especially Niu Yuanben, who took a bottle and started drinking directly from it after a few glasses.
At the same time, he was the most relaxed:
"Hey, Fourth Bro, how did you grow that brain of yours? I'm still living off my parents, and you went and set up such a big company on your own! No way, you have to teach me!"
Although Niu Yuanben was drinking directly from the bottle with gusto, he had obviously had too much.
Seeing that Lin Yi wasn't putting on any airs, he started banging the table and got all excited.
Seeing him getting a little tipsy, Liang Ming and Xin Youzhi quickly exchanged glances.
Compared to Niu Yuanben, these two were much more sensible. Even if Lin Yi didn't put on any airs, they stayed cautious internally.
Lin Yi noticed this as well, but he didn't point it out. Maybe it was related to the environments they were used to.
Unlike Niu Yuanben, for him, the world is his oyster after a bottle of beer!
However, they really were overthinking it; Lin Yi truly wasn't bothered by such trivial matters.
After drinking for over an hour, the party ended, mainly because Lin Yi had too much going on.
After getting a security guard to drive the three of them away, Lin Yi didn't head back to the dorm.
He had already experienced what he wanted from the freshman registration, so now it was back to business as usual...
The main thing was, he realized he couldn't really fit in with them anymore.
As soon as he reached the office door, his phone rang.
Taking a look, he saw it was a call from Wang Shoufu.
No doubt it was about the last matter again.
Answering the phone, he immediately heard an enthusiastic laugh on the other end:
"Haha, busy, right, Brother Lin? I'm just near Tsinghua. Does my brother have time to catch up? I've already prepared tea at the Mist Rain Pavilion..."
Catching up? Hehe, we've only met once, what catching up is he talking about?
Of course, even as he thought this, he laughed and said it would be an honor to have a drink with Chairman Wang.
He reluctantly stood up, went downstairs, and got into his Lamborghini. He turned the steering wheel and headed straight for the Mist Rain Pavilion teahouse not far from the campus gate.
However, events often happen so coincidentally.
Just as Lin Yi left the campus gate, he ran into a group of traffic police conducting a sobriety check at a traffic light.
It was then that Lin Yi slapped his forehead, remembering he had just drunk a bottle of beer...
He didn't do it intentionally—he drank the beer as a thirst quencher and felt no physical reaction!
Of course, the series of calls had also made him forget about it completely...
"Talk about bad luck..."
Although he muttered to himself, Lin Yi had no choice but to follow the traffic and drive forward with a brave face.
He only hoped his metabolism would be quick enough.
"Hello, please blow into this, huh? Is it really you??"
