Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Lin Yi is very confident in his cooking skills.

Su Shi felt Lin Yi's anticipation. She picked up a piece of pig intestine with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and began to chew.

The pig intestines did not have the expected strange taste. Instead, they were extremely delicious due to their crispy, tender and chewy texture and rich seasoning.

Su Shi opened his eyes in surprise: "It's delicious!"

"right?"

Lin Yi smiled confidently, lowered his head and started eating.

While eating, Lin Yi took out his cell phone and put it aside.

[Ain: Wow! Lin Yi, you can actually cook! Chinese cuisine? It looks delicious. I really want to try it if I have the chance~]

Lin Yi looked at the pink-haired girl's little thoughts that overflowed from the screen and couldn't help but reveal a doting look.

Aiyin is different from Xiangzi. Even if she knew that Su Shi lived upstairs from her house, she would have no problem meeting Su Shi.

【Lin Yi: If you have the chance, come to my house for dinner someday and try my cooking. 】

Almost the next second after the message was sent, Aine replied.

[Aine: It’s a deal! You are not allowed to regret it! ]

【Lin Yi: Yeah, it’s settled. 】

After replying to Aiyin's message, Lin Yi took a bite of rice, then looked up at Su Shi opposite him.

Su Shi noticed the movement, quickly withdrew his secret gaze, and picked up a piece of cucumber as if nothing had happened.

Who was Lin Yi chatting with just now? He looked so happy, could it be with Xiaoxiang?

"Don't worry, I didn't chat with Xiangzi."

Lin Yi predicted Su Shi’s prediction.

Ignoring the embarrassed expression on the girl's face, Lin Yi asked casually.

"By the way, Sushi, do you know when Ms. Nagasaki will be back soon?"

Although it's not a big problem to let Ain and Su Shi meet, it would be better to bring Ain home for dinner without Su Shi, the light bulb.

But it’s not a good idea to directly inform Su Shi not to come tonight, so it’s best to let Aine come when Kumiko comes back. After all, her biological mother is back, and Su Shi can’t come to his house for dinner, right?

Lin Yi was afraid that Su Shi would misunderstand him, so he added another sentence.

"I don't come home at night sometimes because of work. I asked you this question to see if I can adjust my schedule. After all, you pay 10 yuan for food every month, and I can't let you spend money in vain."

Su Shi originally thought that Lin Yi was annoyed by her coming to his house for dinner, but after hearing these words, she felt extremely moved.

Su Shi said: "My mother's birthday is next Saturday, so she should be off for a few days. Do you want to come then, Lin Yi? It will be more lively with more people."

"Thank you, but no."

Lin Yi waved his hand and declined, "It's Ms. Nagasaki's birthday, you two can celebrate it, I won't join in the fun as an outsider."

After saying that, Lin Yi lowered his head again and looked at the phone on the table.

When Aine didn't send any more messages, he opened up social media.

Su Shi felt a little uncomfortable seeing this. If he felt bored, he could just chat with her. Why did he have to keep looking at his phone?

She reminded him seriously: "Lin Yi, it's not good for your health to look at your phone while eating."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

Su Shi felt a little disappointed, but soon thought of a new topic.

"Lin Yi, the band's live performance last night was a great success. I saw the video. The lead singer, Jing Qin Rencai, was amazing! I want to go and watch the live performance!"

Lin Yi raised his head.

What's wrong with Su Shi today? Why is he talking so much?

Normally when they eat, they just eat their own food and talk occasionally. Most of the time they are very quiet.

Although he was confused, Lin Yi still smiled and replied: "It's okay, this is the reward for their hard work..."

……

at the same time.

The bathroom in Chihaya's house was filled with mist.

Most of Aine's body was submerged in the water in the bathtub, with only her round, pink shoulders and her head wrapped in a bath towel above the water.

【Lin Yi: Yeah, it’s settled. 】

Recalling the message Lin Yi just sent, Aiyin's lips curled up in a silly smile.

The reason why she sent a message to Lin Yi today to ask him what he was doing was because after Lin Yi and Xiangzi went out, Xiangzi never came back until they left the office.

This made Aiyin, who was originally very calm, a little panicked.

But now it seems that Aiyin's panic was unnecessary. Lin Yi and Xiangzi had already finished their work and went home to cook.

Aiyin thought back to the selfie of Lin Yi in the kitchen, narrowed her eyes, and sank a little deeper into the bathtub.

She now feels that she is the happiest person in the world.

As the guitarist of the band, he has a successful career and met such an outstanding man like Lin Yi.

Her future will definitely be happier and better!

……

The next day, morning.

After having breakfast, Lin Yi did not go to the office immediately, but returned to his previous home.

Of course, Lin Yi was not homesick. His destination was opposite his home, which was Xiangzi's home.

According to his observations before moving, the old man in Xiangzi's family was a complete parasite. He didn't work or go out, and often asked Xiangzi to buy him wine. He stayed at home all day and no one knew what he was doing.

I didn’t have a close relationship with Xiangzi before, so I didn’t know the details.

After listening to Xiangzi's story yesterday, Lin Yi could no longer ignore it. He had to go and talk to Xiangzi's cheap dad.

82

Chapter 82: Xiangdie: Xiangzi, Lin Yi is a good man.

Lin Yi pressed the doorbell of Xiangzi's house, but the doorbell did not ring, as if it was broken.

So he raised his hand and knocked on the door, knocking several times in a row.

After a few seconds, the sound of footsteps came from inside the house and got closer.

The door of Xiangzi's house was very old and had no peephole, so the other party could not see Lin Yi from inside.

crunch.

The door was pushed open from the inside, and the bright morning sunlight shone into the dim room through the crack in the door, illuminating the face of a middle-aged man.

The man looked tired, his eyes were decadent, and his body was a little thin.

He had an untidy beard and very long hair that hadn't been trimmed for a long time, but he probably washed it every day, so he didn't look sloppy or disgusting.

The man looked somewhat like Xiangzi. Although his complexion was not very good and his cheeks were a little thin, just from the outline of his bones one could tell that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

He was wearing a plaid shirt on the upper body and a pair of jeans on the lower body. The fabric looked to be of good quality, but at this moment, they looked slightly white due to being washed too many times.

Is this Xiangzi's father? He doesn't look as bad as Lin Yi imagined.

The middle-aged man named Toyokawa Tomoki... no, now he should be called Imai Tomoki, looked at the man who appeared at the door, not Shoko, and subconsciously wanted to close the door.

But Lin Yi reacted quickly.

He raised his foot to hook the door, then reached forward and pulled hard—

How could a middle-aged man in his forties compare in strength with a young man in his twenties? Not to mention that Lin Yi would occasionally consciously exercise.

In just a moment, the half-open door was completely opened.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi grabbed Xiang's wrist and pulled him out of the house, then he kicked the door shut again.

The long-awaited bath in the sun made the man feel as if he was in another world, and besides that he was confused.

Tomoki Imai was confused. Is this guy a burglar?

But if so, why drag him out? He didn't have the key with him!

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yi, I'm the president of Xingyun Office and Xiangzi's boss. She is currently working as my assistant."

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, with a sting in his voice.

Lin Yi didn’t know what Xiang’s father’s name was, but he didn’t want to call him “uncle” or something like that right now. He couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Xiangzi’s boss?

Tomoki Imai remembered very clearly that in the few days before Shoko and he left Toyokawa's house, the food at home was very poor and Shoko was depressed all day long.

But after one day, the food at home became normal, and Xiangzi's condition improved a lot. According to her own statement, she found a good part-time job.

Tomoki Imai looked at the man in front of him who was much more handsome than he was when he was young, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that Xiangzi was kidnapped by him?

"Imai Tomoki, Shoko's... you should know."

Imai Zhihui rubbed his wrist which was a little painful from Lin Yi's grip and asked, "What's the matter with President Lin coming here?"

Imai Tomoki's voice was low and cautious.

This guy named Lin Yi is much stronger than him, and he is very afraid that Lin Yi is here to vent his anger on behalf of Xiangzi by beating him up.

He was wearing slippers when he came out, so there was no way he could run away.

"Imai Tomoki?"

Lin Yi nodded and repeated the name, still without any respect in his voice.

"Last night Xiangzi told me the reason why you left Fengchuan's house. Now I only have one question for you..."

Lin Yi paused and asked fiercely, "Is what she said true? Did you really embezzle the company's public funds for gambling?"

Tomoki Imai looked at Lin Yi in surprise, not because Lin Yi knew about this, but because Xiangzi told him about this.

As someone who watched Shoko grow up, Tomoki Imai knows his daughter's true character very well. She is not someone who would confide in others, let alone something related to the Toyokawa family's past that is too embarrassing to recall.

The fact that Xiangzi could say these things to Lin Yi meant something that was self-evident. I wonder what expression he would have when he learned the news earlier.

Of course he felt bad, but he was not qualified to say that now.

Imai Zhihui showed a self-deprecating expression and said with emotion: "It is true."

"Really?"

Lin Yi frowned and shouted coldly: "Don't be ambiguous with me. Explain clearly what's going on."

Imai Tomoki knew he couldn't escape, so he told the situation in more detail.

The embezzlement of public funds was true, and the gambling was also true, but the way of gambling was not quite what Lin Yi had imagined.

It is not online gambling, nor is it an offline casino, but a new type of digital currency.

The process of being deeply involved is very classic... In short, Tomoki Imai, who lost all his savings, did not stop, but instead had a crooked idea, which was to move public funds from the company's account to take a gamble.

Tomoki Imai failed, and the money he invested was wasted. At the same time, the external environment changed, which triggered a liquidity crisis for the company. The snowball caused by the funding gap kept getting bigger and bigger, and finally it was out of control and led to a big mistake.

After saying all this, Imai Zhihui shook his head again in self-mockery: "This kind of thing is just a lie, it's no different from gambling."

Lin Yi showed a look of contempt. Now he knew that this thing was unreliable. What was he thinking about when he played it in the past?

Lin Yi pointed at the man and said angrily: "So this is your reason for staying at home all day and letting Xiangzi earn money to support you? You have hands and feet but you don't go out to make money. Are you trying to kidnap Xiangzi's feelings so that the Fengchuan family can't stand it and finally forgive your debt?!"

Lin Yi was filled with rage at this moment. He originally thought that Xiangzi's father stayed at home because he suffered from depression or some mental problem due to a huge change in the situation.

If it were just like this now, Lin Yi really couldn't bear it anymore.

If Xiang's father can't give a reasonable explanation, he promises to punch him and teach Old Deng a lesson!

There was a trace of sadness on Tomoki Imai's face.
