Chapter 4173 - 4161: Insect Plague
Chapter 4173: Chapter 4161: Insect Plague
After listening to Lin Yi, Little Ying realized that she had been a bit naive about the situation.
"I’m not afraid of her. If he dares to get handsy with me, I’ll definitely slap him."
"You need to stay calm."
Wenhui quickly advised:
"That’s not a good idea. If he reports you, they’ll certainly put you in jail. If you don’t want that, you’ll have to pay a few thousand, and all your hard work will be for nothing."
"Oh, Sister Hui, don’t worry, I can handle it."
Little Ying then clung to Wenhui’s arm, "If he doesn’t get handsy, I won’t fuss, and if things get out of hand, I’ll just scream harassment, and it won’t be me who’s embarrassed."
"That’s a good plan."
Soon, the three of them arrived at the barbecue restaurant next door, ordered some food, which was promptly served.
In perfect sync, none of them ordered beverages, instead opting for a case of beer, and then they filled their glasses and chugged it down heartily.
"How was work today? Did you sell anything?"
Little Ying cheerfully held out two fingers.
"Sold two pieces?"
"Yep, yep."
"That’s impressive," Wenhui praised, "Such a pretty shop assistant, if I were a customer, I’d definitely buy from you."
"That’s true, but it seems like my colleagues at the store are a bit unhappy."
"Why’s that?"
"That woman is an old employee, and she only sold one piece today, while I’m new and managed to sell two. Even though luck was part of it, she still seemed quite unhappy."
Hearing Little Ying’s words, both of them thought it was quite normal.
A new employee outperformed an old one; naturally, there’s some resentment.
"You’ll have to be careful. If they sabotage you, your job won’t be easy anymore."
"I’ve thought it through, if they really act like that, I’ll quit and join you in setting up a stall," Little Ying said:
"But before I leave, I’ll definitely give them a good fight, no way am I letting myself be bullied."
"Stay calm, stay calm. We’re here to work, and we shouldn’t resort to such things unless absolutely necessary."
Listening to their conversation, Lin Yi found it amusing.
One is bold and reckless, the other cautious and careful.
The clash between these two opposite personalities, it’s quite intriguing to think about.
"I know. Actually, I have a pretty good temper. If worse comes to worse, I’ll just start streaming, flirt with the edges, and still earn some money."
"Girls shouldn’t flirt too much, remember you still need to get married in the future," Wenhui said.
"Oh, Sister Hui, don’t be so conservative. It’s not about revealing anything, just showing some legs, it’s no big deal."
Little Ying said with a mischievous smile:
"I’ve got it all figured out, I’ll shoot a series, me and my handsome landlord, with a hunk in the frame, the effect will surely be great."
"If your Lin Bro is willing to shoot, I think you can go ahead."
"Now hold on, I’ve got kids already. If my wife sees me filming this with a beauty, she’d surely divorce me," Lin Yi joked.
"Oh? Lin Bro is married!"
Little Ying was extremely surprised upon hearing this, something she hadn’t anticipated before, and he also has kids.
"I’m at that age, not marrying would be a bit unusual."
Little Ying pouted, thought it over, and seemed to agree with this reasoning.
"No worries, Lin Bro can stay off-camera, just film my daily life with the landlord."
"Sounds like a lot of fun to watch."
"This is something I could go along with."
"Hehe..."
The three of them drank and chatted.
Lin Yi noticed that both Wenhui and Little Ying had quite the alcohol tolerance.
Downing four or five bottles in a row without much of a reaction.
Among the women he knew, their drinking capacity was indeed impressive.
Around eleven at night, the two women were a bit tipsy, so Lin Yi decided it was about time and went to settle the bill.
"Why did you go and pay? I said I would," Wenhui said.
"It’s not much. I’ll cover it this time, and you can treat me next time when there’s a chance, let’s go."
After paying, Lin Yi left with the two women.
He sent them back, saw that it was getting late, and decided not to return home but to sleep in room 809 instead.
Meanwhile, he checked out information about Ailao Mountain.
Now, Xiao Bing would send updates from there every day.
But most of the messages lacked value, and there has been no progress in the internal investigation.
Based on the current information, there isn’t much reason for the Central Guards Brigade to go there yet.
The other three major organizations weren’t doing bad either. Their investigation progress might be at a standstill as well.
Vaguely, Lin Yi had a premonition.
Someday, real news might come to light, and then the three organizations will definitely act together.
Competition will surely ignite in an instant.
When that time comes, it might turn into a big battle.
Ding dong ding dong——
Right then, the sound of knocking was heard.
Lin Yi went to open the door and found Wenhui standing outside.
She held a plate of sliced fruit, dressed in a white sleep gown, with a plump chest and long legs exposed, exuding the charm of a young, married woman.
"I just went to buy some fruit. I gave some to Little Ying earlier, and now I’m bringing you some."
"That’s really kind of you."
Lin Yi put his phone aside and took the fruit from Wenhui.
Without noticing, Wenhui glanced at Lin Yi’s phone.
"You seem to have quite an interest in Ailao Mountain."
"Indeed, maybe someday I’ll have to go see it."
"Do you really have that in mind?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi sensed the subtext in Wenhui’s words, "Could it be that you’re planning to go too?"
"I have more free time now, and I really think about going back for a look, but I haven’t decided when yet."
Wenhui swept back her hair, "If you plan to go, we could go together, it’s less boring that way."
"That’s doable."
Lin Yi shifted aside a bit, "I’m indeed quite interested in your place, wouldn’t you like to come in and sit for a while?"
"Won’t I be disturbing your rest?"
"It’s really no trouble."
"As long as I’m not disturbing your rest."
"I sleep late, so it’s all good."
Wenhui came inside, Lin Yi brewed a pot of tea and said:
"Did you grow up there?"
Wenhui nodded, "Only left for college."
"Besides hearing strange rumors as a child, did you witness anything yourself?"
In Lin Yi’s view, short-term observation and exploration might not reveal anything.
But Wenhui lived there for so many years, there’s potential of witnessing some odd occurrences.
"Something I saw myself..."
Wenhui seriously pondered.
"Does the insect plague count?"
"Insect plague? An epidemic caused by insects?"
"Smart," Wenhui teased.
"If I couldn’t figure that out, I’d have wasted my elementary school language classes," Lin Jiang laughed.
"But those insects were really strange."
