Omnipresent Lin Yi

“Kang Zhaoming… do you need something?” Kang Xiaobo asked. He assumed the two of them had severed all personal relationships during that day of the Birthday celebration party. From the looks of it, outsiders would assume they had made up. Kang Xiaobo also called Kang Zhaoming by his full name.

“Oi, bro, you sound so formal by calling me by my full name, you should be calling me second brother!” Kang Zhaoming smiled boldly.

“Oh?” Kang Xiaobo was a little shocked by what he had said. He was more stunned than anything. What is this Kang Zhaoming scheming for? Did he injure his head too much?

“Come on brother, why are you just standing around idly? Get in the car! We brothers haven’t seen each other for a long time?” Kang Zhaoming motioned his hand for Kang Xiaobo to get into the car. Kang Zhaoming purposely allowed Zhu Xiaozhang to drive the car, while Wang Shubin sat in the shotgun seat. This was all planned out so that Kang Xiaobo will sit in the passenger seat with him.

“Kang Zhaoming, what do you want?” Kang Xiaobo frowned, what could he have meant that they haven’t seen each other for so long? Wasn’t it was just a few days ago that he went to deliver money to Yu Xiaofen?

“Xiaobo, are you still weary of your cousin! Haha, the reason I’m here is so I can apologize to you. I’m a changed man, I’m no longer the young naive man I was. I won’t do things that make others feel disgusted, so I was hoping that I have your forgiveness!” Kang Zhaoming knew what to say to appeal to the ears of others.

It was at this time when Lin Yi and Tang Yun walked out of the school gates with their hands tightly held together. He saw Kang Xiaobo and Kang Zhaoming talking with each other. He felt that it was strange so Lin Yi spoke up “Xiaobo, what are you doing?”

“Boss!” Kang Xiaobo was so glad to have seen Lin Yi. He didn’t notice him until his name was called out since he had no idea what game Kang Xiaoming was playing at. He really had no reason to continue chatting with Kang Zhaoming! From years of how badly Kang Zhaoming had treated Kang Xiaobo, it was not forgotten. But, they were blood relatives, in the end. He even played with Yu Xiaofen, Kang Xiaobo could only restrain himself.

Kang Zhaoming didn’t know that Lin Yi was the mastermind behind Miracle Doctor Guan’s medical company. Until now, people from House Kang still believed that Guan Xuemin was the chief executive behind Miracle Doctor Guan’s medical company. As for Lin Yi, he was just a useless bystander.

As for why Kang Xiaobo was able to enter into Miracle Doctor Guan’s medical company, it must have been because Kang Xiaobo had given the formula for Kang’s Golden Creation medicine. This is how Kang Xiaobo had upgraded his position as Vice CEO! As for Lin Yi’s contribution, it was nonexistent.

In reality, that was the image Lin Yi wanted to project. He wanted to appear harmless and omnipresent, but at the same time, no one would know of his existence. This is why Kang Zhaoming had never paid attention to Lin Yi. Whatever he had planned, he didn’t bother to scrutinize him. So Kang Zhaoming rushed, “Xiaobo, hurry up and get in the car already! Did you eat yet? Should we find a place to eat dinner?”

“Boss, this…” Kang Xiaobo obeyed Lin Yi very much. He always held Lin Yi in great regard, if Lin YI hadn’t come the moment when he did, then he would’ve left. Now that Lin Yi had arrived, he could ask for his opinion.

“Ah, Kang Zhaoming is treating, we should all go if he is treating!” Lin Yi nodded. He was also curious as to what Kang Zhaoming had in stored.

“Boss, you will come with me?” Kang Xiaobo hesitantly asked.

“Well, that is up to your cousin—if he agrees to it or not?” Lin Yi smiled.

Kang Xiaobo and Lin Yi’s conversation was easily overheard by Kang Zhaoming. Everything they had said was acknowledged by Kang Zhaoming. Kang Zhaoming felt so much pressure from his family that he was rushed to take any action necessary. He realized that Kang Xiaobo was very obedient to Lin Yi so he decided to take Lin Yi along too.

The last time they met, when Yu Xiaofen had accepted his compensation money, Lin Yi was also present. From the feeling during their last meeting, Kang Zhaoming sensed that Lin Yi wasn’t a righteous person; he was very greedy. So if money could solve the problem, then there was no need for him to avoid Lin Yi.

Without even waiting for Kang Xiaobo to ask, Kang Zhaoming rushed “Lin Yi right? We can be called friends. We’ve met several times already. So join us for food?”

Kang Zhaoming wasn’t pursuing Guan Xin anymore, so he didn’t hate Lin Yi as much. On top of that, he had tattle taled to Guan Xiaoxiang about Lin Yi already, which was very satisfying to Kang Zhaoming’s ego. In his head, the both of them don’t have any conflict of interest, so Kang Zhaoming didn’t mind Lin Yi joining.

“You guys can go, I don’t need to be there…” Tang Yun sensed that Lin Yi would be busy so she let go of Lin Yi’s hand.

“Oh it’s nothing big, let’s all go together,” Lin Yi looked at Kang Zhaoming as he said “Have one of your henchmen get off the front seat and follow us in a taxi. That way us three can sit in the back!”

Kang Zhaoming clenched his teeth in bitter frustration. Weren’t they being too much of a bully? He was inviting them to eat, but demands that one of them leave their seats? If it wasn’t for the sake of finding out who the raw material procurement method and formula, he would’ve shouted in anguish.

Kang Zhaoming held in his fury and said to Wang Shubin “Shubin, you can call a taxi to follow us!”

Now Kang Zhaoming sat in the shotgun seat, while Lin Yi, Tang Yun and Kang Xiaobo sat in the passenger seats. Zhu Xiaozhang had found a better hotel restaurant than last time, and they booked a private room.

With Lin Yi by his side, Kang Xiaobo felt at peace. He didn’t need to worry about any schemes that Kang Zhaoming might have planned. They were going to go along with the mindset that they will meet whatever adversary with open minds. They were planning to order a whole bunch of expensive food at Kang Zhaoming’s expense, but Kang Zhaoming was planning to treat them to Kang Xiaobo to good food to appeal to his good side.

“Xiaobo, I heard that you are Miracle Doctor Guan’s vice CEO now?” Kang Zhaoming asked after he had finished ordering the food; Kang Zhaoming had the waiters leave the room, while he discussed business.

“Yes,” Kang Xiaobo didn’t know what Kang Zhaoming was planning, so he answered plainly.

Lin Yi and Tang Yun were bystanders. They acted like they weren’t even paying attention to the discussion. Lin Yi snatched the teapot out from under Kang Zhaoming’s hands, and poured a cup for Tang Yun while asking her “Do you want tea?”

Tang Yun was very nervous. She didn’t find it comforting to sit with Kang Zhaoming. She was reminded of the painful expressions from Yu Xiaofen. However, Lin Yi was there so Tang Yun was at ease.

“Mhm…: Tang Yun picked up her cup and sipped on it little by little. That was when she saw Lin Yi stare at her without blinking, so she blushed with embarrassment.

Lin Yi watched Tang Yun drink the tea, He was reminded of those romantic novels. So young, romantic. He felt the warmth on his skin as reminisce on how his life up to now—it was a beautiful and satisfying lifestyle.
