I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

“What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on our Chen family?”

This time, Fu Jinglan’s emotions were visibly shaken.

She had long considered the Chen family as a prominent, well-established family.

Now, hearing Yan Ci’s words felt like a slap in the face, exposing their weaknesses.

How could Fu Jinglan not be angry?

“Auntie, I think you’re taking this too seriously,” Yan Ci said with a smile.

“After all, I’m a PhD graduate from a 985 university, so I have at least a basic level of education. I hope you can take this meeting seriously as well.”

“Am I not taking this seriously? I’m just expressing my thoughts. If these terms can’t be met, I don’t see the need to continue.”

“Let’s end it here for today.”

Finally, Tang Li, who had been silent, spoke up.

She had originally thought that this meal would be a simple gathering for both families to get to know each other, after which the young couple could handle the details of their wedding on their own terms.

But she didn’t expect Chen Teng’s mother to have such an attitude, clearly not respecting her or Xin Yu. If her daughter were to marry into this family, she would surely suffer.

“Auntie, why are you…”

“I’m not feeling well. I think it’s best to leave now.”

Tang Li stood up, preparing to leave, and both Lin Yi and Yan Ci also rose to their feet.

There was no point in continuing this meal.

Seeing this, a smile crept onto the faces of Fu Jinglan and Chen Ya.

This was exactly the outcome they had hoped for.

Creak…

Just then, the door to the private room opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

His appearance bore some resemblance to Chen Ya, and he must have been quite a handsome man in his youth.

The man was Chen Youjun, Chen Teng’s father, a senior official in a government bureau.

This was also the foundation of Fu Jinglan’s pride in calling herself part of a prominent family.

He had arrived late due to work commitments.

However, he had rushed over as soon as he finished.

He thought that it was important to show respect to the girl’s family.

“Dad, you’re here.”

Seeing Chen Youjun, Chen Teng breathed a sigh of relief.

His father had always been the stabilizing force in the family.

With such a major issue at hand, only his father could resolve it.

As he entered the room, Chen Youjun was slightly taken aback.

He had expected a harmonious scene with everyone chatting happily.

Instead, everyone looked tense, with expressions that seemed off.

He was about to ask what was going on.

At that moment, he spotted Lin Yi in the distance.

At first, he thought he was mistaken.

After taking a closer look, he realized it really was Lin Yi. A shiver ran down his spine; he hadn’t expected to encounter this influential figure in Zhonghai in such a setting.

“Mr. Lin, what a coincidence to see you here.”

Ignoring Chen Teng, Chen Youjun walked straight over to Lin Yi.

This scene left the Chen family members stunned.

They couldn’t understand why Chen Youjun would speak to this man with such respect.

Surely, he couldn’t be that connected, could he?

“You know who I am?”

“I’m from the Zhonghai Drug Administration. I’ve seen you a few times with our secretary at Huashan Hospital, but I never had the chance to speak with you. I suppose you wouldn’t remember me.”

“Ah, I see.”

Lin Yi smiled and extended his hand, which Chen Youjun shook, acknowledging the introduction.

“Mr. Lin, are you here as a relative on the girl’s side?” Chen Youjun asked curiously.

Lin Yi nodded, replying,

“My girlfriend is her cousin. I had nothing else to do, so I came along to see how things were going, but it looks like we’re leaving now.”

Hearing this, a chill ran down Chen Youjun’s spine.

A sense of dread washed over him as his expression darkened, and he turned to Fu Jinglan with a stern voice.

“What is going on here?!”

Fu Jinglan was taken aback and stood there in a daze, unsure of how to respond.

Chen Ya and Chen Teng were similarly stunned.

Ever since Chen Youjun had addressed Lin Yi as “Mr. Lin,” their minds had been in a state of shock.

“The discussion didn’t go well, and the two sides seem incompatible. It looks like they need to reconsider,” Lin Yi said. “We’ll be leaving now. Perhaps we’ll meet again.”

Without giving the Chen family a chance to respond, Lin Yi turned and left the private room.

Now, the spacious room was left with only the four members of the Chen family.

Chen Youjun’s face remained dark, unchanged.

“Do you realize the magnitude of the mistake you’ve made?!”

“Old Chen, what’s going on? Who is that man, and why were you so respectful to him?” Fu Jinglan asked, bewildered.

“With your status, there aren’t many people in Zhonghai who deserve that level of respect, are there?”

“You all really are short-sighted and ignorant. This is Zhonghai—there are big players all around!” Chen Youjun retorted.

“Let me tell you, that man just now is Lin Yi, the president of Lingyun Group in Zhonghai, with a fortune in the tens of billions. He also has an extraordinary relationship with the top leader in Zhonghai. With just one word from him, I could be out of a job tomorrow. And you’ve gone and offended him. Are you all out of your minds?!”

Hiss!

Hearing Lin Yi’s identity, the three Chen family members gasped, their faces turning pale.

This was something they could never have imagined.

Fu Jinglan and Chen Ya trembled uncontrollably, no longer knowing what to do.

Not only was Lin Yi incredibly wealthy, but he also had powerful connections. With just one word, he could bring down the Chen family.

Now that this had occurred, who knew what the future held for them?

“Is he really a billionaire?” Chen Ya asked, her voice shaking.

“Do you think I would joke about something like this?” Chen Youjun snapped.

“I can already guess. You must have relied on my status, thinking you were superior, and didn’t show him any respect, right?”

Fu Jinglan averted her gaze, unable to answer Chen Youjun’s question.

“One day, you’re all going to be the death of me!”

With that, Chen Youjun glared at the three of them.

“Why are you still standing there? Go and apologize!”

The three of them shivered and quickly ran out.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the others had reached the hotel parking lot and were preparing to leave.

But before they could, the Chen family rushed out of the hotel, blocking their car from leaving.

“Dear daughter-in-law, it was wrong of me earlier. I apologize. Please don’t hold it against me. Could you all please come back inside and finish the meal?”

Seeing Fu Jinglan’s attitude do a complete 180, both Tang Li and Zhou Xinyu were surprised. They hadn’t expected her to suddenly speak so humbly.

And it was all because of Lin Yi.

Zhou Xinyu was quietly shocked.

What exactly was her brother-in-law’s background?

He hadn’t done anything, yet the Chen family was suddenly so terrified.
