Chapter 97: Being Harassed

Food is heaven to the people, so this industry always has opportunities.

This was what Lin Yu thought upon recalling how Qi Nian Jiang had transformed from an inconspicuous business in 2000 to a major chain with immense influence by 2011.

The moment he thought of money, he immediately recalled the ten thousand euros pressing against his chest!

Lin Yu knew that if he failed to miraculously earn ten thousand euros within two years and complete Zhang Chao's surgery, he would be tormented for the rest of his life.

In his previous life, Zhang Chao had died protecting him; this life, it was almost too late. If he didn't save him, what right did he have to call him brother?

Empty-handed yet heavy-hearted, this was Lin Yu now. He must accomplish what others found nearly impossible. Within two years, without any capital, he must earn ten thousand euros for his brother's surgery.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Lin Yu holding a chicken wing on his chopsticks but lost in thought, Qi Yue asked.

"Nothing, I was just thinking of the word 'responsibility' and it felt very heavy." Lin Yu placed the chicken wing back in the bowl, took out a cigarette, and lit it for himself.

"Responsibility? Is it for our future?" Qi Yue suddenly said shyly.

Hearing the girl's question, Lin Yu choked on the smoke and coughed twice.

"What's the matter with you? Why react like that!" Seeing Lin Yu's reaction, the girl said angrily. Her expression was fierce.

"Haha, what am I thinking? I was just joking. I thought your family is so rich; you can just support me." Lin Yu laughed and teased, but he didn't really mean it.

No matter what, he still harbored a bit of masculine pride. Accepting gifts from the girl, even valuable ones, was fine, but on matters of principle, he wouldn't retreat an inch.

"That's Qi Dachu's money; what does it have to do with me? Actually, my mom runs a company abroad, but many shares in that company belong to my uncle." Qi Yue explained with a smile, implying she had no money.

"Haha, no money? Then forget it..." Lin Yu smoked leisurely, teasing the girl.

"Don't? You say don't, then don't! Let me tell you, my aunt has decided this lifetime she'll only have me as her daughter-in-law!" Qi Yue took a bite of rice and hummed proudly.

"Ah, the iron fortress is always breached from within by the enemy." Lin Yu sighed as if sorrowfully, took several deep puffs of the cigarette, and exhaled an oval-shaped smoke ring.

Seeing his demeanor, the girl became unwilling again and directly quipped, "Why does it have to be you? This girl is pretty, smart, gentle, virtuous, sensible... many advantages. Am I not worthy of you, a little scoundrel?"

"Alright, you are naturally beautiful and can't help it. Fine." Lin Yu chuckled lightly.

At that moment, a melodious doorbell suddenly rang. As a gentleman, Lin Yu rose to open the door.

"It's you, Zhilin!" Seeing Yang Zhilin at the door, Lin Yu nodded and greeted her.

"Mm, it's me." Yang Zhilin clearly appeared in a low mood, not knowing why.

"What happened?" Lin Yu asked concernedly upon noticing something amiss.

"Ah, come in and talk; it's really annoying!"

After speaking, Yang Zhilin changed into slippers, and under Lin Yu's invitation, they ate together.

But after taking a rice bowl, dividing some rice from Qi Yue's lunch box, she didn't pick up her chopsticks but sighed deeply.

"What's wrong with you? My wife!" Seeing Yang Zhilin like this, Qi Yue also stopped her chopsticks and asked worriedly.

After that, Lin Yu felt a trace of amorous atmosphere spreading in the air.

But Yang Zhilin sighed repeatedly and angrily said, "Last night, someone called my house several times again! And this morning at the doorstep there were flowers and greeting cards. It's really irritating!"

"Is it still that person?" Qi Yue asked angrily. She knew about the harassment of Yang Zhilin better than Lin Yu.

"Yes! I suspect it's the same person! Last night at Hu Bin's banquet, I listened to you and held Lin Yu's hand to leave! But that person hasn't given up and has become even more aggressive!" Yang Zhilin said in a soft voice, a trace of melancholy hanging on her almost perfect face.

Looking at the greeting card lying on the table, Lin Yu's inner anger was directly ignited.

It contained just a few sentences: Zhilin, you are mine. Yesterday's matter made me very angry; the consequences are serious. Signed: Your mysterious admirer.

"Beating around the bush, what do you think of me?!"

Lin Yu cursed inwardly, then asked, "Did you see who sent the flowers?"

"I saw it, it was a five- or six-year-old child, instructed by someone, and I didn't get any information from him." Yang Zhilin sighed again.

"I think this person must be a pervert! We must lure him out!" Qi Yue interjected at this point.

"Mm, Xiao Yue is right; we need to draw the snake from its hole, solve the problem once and for all." Lin Yu said word by word.

"Yes! This person isn't one who gets angry easily, so let's..." Qi Yue bit her lip, looking determined, and revealed a plan.

"So do that. If not, we might have to call the police." Yang Zhilin said in a low mood.

"By the way, Little Yu, how is the speech script prepared by Teacher He? Don't drop the ball when the time comes!" After thinking of the plan, Qi Yue asked with a smile.

Hearing Qi Yue ask about this, Lin Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Do you want to die!" Qi Yue immediately looked at him disdainfully, then continued, "You don't need to eat! Hurry up and write the script for me. Such a glorious opportunity, you don't cherish it at all."

"Eat or not eat, anyway I already ate my fill!" Lin Yu said nonchalantly.

But after saying that, he really immersed himself in learning in the living room. Although the tutoring teacher Lin Ran had something on today and didn't come, he didn't use that as an excuse.

"Steel is forged from grinding, and plum blossoms bloom from bitter cold." After all, it's an eternal truth. Lin Yu did not think that there was a search system in his mind that granted him the world.

Seeing Lin Yu's earnest study, Qi Yue and Yang Zhilin exchanged glances and smiled, then entered the bedroom to play on the computer.

Lin Yu, after being tired from studying, cleared away the items from the dining table, then picked up the pen and planned the speech script.

The first step was searching the system for suitable scripts, but after flipping through, the scripts he saw were all stiff and lacking in color, so he pondered according to his own ideas. Hoping to give everyone a good explanation at the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning.
