There is another reason why Lin Yi chose to go to Yangcheng by himself. If you are hungry, you have already entered this city. You are likely to encounter them here.
Although he and Zhang Xuhao should have a tacit understanding after signing the settlement agreement last time, there is no guarantee that there will be a conflict. He never wants to let his senior sister go through something like the last time.
On the day the money arrived, Lin Yi landed at Baiyun Airport.
The people he brought this time included Shao Yu and two others. The group was smaller than when he was in the capital before, because these college students were not as unscrupulous as him in skipping classes and could not be separated from school for a long time. The solution was to rotate them in batches.
For these college students who have not yet graduated, traveling on a business trip is still a very novel experience. Lin Yi directly gave them half a day off to let them move around freely, because he himself had someone to meet.
When he walked out of the airport, he had already seen the familiar figure. The other person opened his arms and gave him a very warm hug.
For Lin Yi, there are not many people who can use the courtesy of hugging without feeling uncomfortable. This person is one of them.
This is Brother Yi, Lin Yi's high school roommate, the big boy Zhang Xiaochuan. This is the first time the two of them have met since Lin Yi escaped drinking on the day of the teacher's appreciation banquet.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the four great joys in life.
Zhang Xiaochuan excitedly hit him on the chest: "What's going on, Lin Yi? Why didn't you come when the monitor organized a return to school during the winter vacation? You look down on us old classmates, right?"
When I was a freshman, I graduated not long ago, and everyone still had deep feelings for high school, so during the holidays, they would organize to go back to school to see teachers and meet classmates. The longer I stayed in college, the more boring I felt.
Lin Yi was not in a hurry to explain: "It's a long story, let's talk about it while we're walking."
Baiyun Airport is quite far from the city. On the way into the city with Zhang Xiaochuan, Lin Yi told him: "Actually, I partnered with two classmates in college to build a food delivery website. During the winter vacation, I was busy with starting a business, so I didn't have time to come back.
Lin'an."
"I came to Yangcheng this time just to expand the website's business here."
"Okay, Lin Yi!"
Lin Yi briefly introduced it to Zhang Xiaochuan on the phone before coming. Now he could explain it in more detail in person. Zhang Xiaochuan was amazed, especially when he talked about the US$1 million in financing he had just received.
"I didn't expect that among the brothers in our dormitory, you would be the first to make some noise because of the loneliness."
While the two were chatting about starting a business, Zhang Xiaochuan directly led Lin Yi to find a place:
"You said on the phone that you wanted to find a place to stay. I found it as you said. Can you see if this place is okay? Originally, if you were the only one, our school could arrange it, but there are others, so I
I found this place for you."
This is the famous Shipai Village in Yangcheng. It is a huge urban village located in the prosperous Tianhe. In its heyday, it was said to be home to 100,000 farmers and 100,000 college students. It is also a famous village for local tycoons.
The environment in the urban village is a bit more complicated. Fortunately, the people he brought were all older boys, so he didn't have any concerns about safety.
Lin Yi chose to station here, firstly because it was cheap, and secondly because the location was suitable.
They only received a total of 1 million U.S. dollars in financing, and paid Professor Li's team the cost of developing the APP. There is no way to spend the remaining money too much. The money for these few air tickets is enough to feel distressed.
There are many universities in Yangcheng, and the most concentrated area is the surrounding area. In addition to Jinan University where Zhang Xiaochuan studied, there are several universities starting with Nanhua.
Brother Yi is indeed very loyal. Lin just asked him to help with the search, and he has basically done it directly. This place fully meets his requirements.
The room was very small, and if it could sleep five or six people, it would have to have double beds with bunk beds. But it didn't matter, he just wanted the conditions of a school dormitory.
Lin Yi didn't choose too much. Since the place was suitable, he followed Zhang Xiaochuan to find the landlord and settled on this house. He would set up camp here for a while.
At the same time, this is also the "Yangcheng branch of Suiwai Takeout.com".
After finding a place to stay, half of the first day's task was completed. He sent the location to other people who came with him through a WeChat group, and then continued to follow Zhang Xiaochuan to a shop that makes pickled fish in this village. Brother Yi gave it to him.
He catches the wind.
"Despite the mediocre environment of this store, it is definitely the best pickled fish in Yangcheng. I have personally verified it."
Given their relationship, Lin Yi didn't need to be polite: "Shouldn't you treat me to morning tea when you come to Yangcheng?"
"You're late today. If you are free, I will take you there tomorrow."
"That won't work. I have to start doing business tomorrow."
"Then remember it first."
Without saying a few words, the waiter had already brought the signature dish they ordered. Once Lin took a few bites, it tasted really good, so the two of them started to concentrate on the meal.
After running around for a long time, he finally sat down to rest his stomach. Lin Yi then picked up the beer glass on the table and said, "This glass of wine is for brother Yi to pick up the plane today and help me find a house. Come and do it for me."
Zhang Xiaochuan touched him and then put down the cup and said with a smile: "Lin Yi was so cheerful today, but you ran away in the middle of the thank-you banquet, and there were several people looking for you afterwards."
Lin Yi also laughed: "It depends on who you are drinking with."
These words made Zhang Xiaochuan feel a little emotional. They didn't drink in high school. It's only been less than a year now.
"I wasn't used to it when you called me Brother Yi today, because I haven't heard anyone call you that for a long time."
Yes, except for those who happened to experience that time with you, how would anyone know the origins of those weird nicknames you had?
"Haha, then I hear people call me Lin Yi every day."
The two naturally chatted about topics from high school, especially when they talked about how they hid in the dormitory at night secretly playing cards during their senior year and were almost caught by the dormitory supervisor. They both burst out laughing.
After reminiscing for a while, Zhang Xiaochuan didn’t know where he remembered:
"By the way, Lin Yi, how are you and Gu Caiwei doing now? It seems like no one else has heard about her except Zhang Jiaqi."
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while."
Is this true or false? Although he is not lying, the meaning Brother Yi understands is obviously quite different from the actual situation.
It's not that he can't trust Brother Yi. The fewer people who know about this, the better. And when Gu Caiwei becomes famous, he will naturally understand.
But when it came to Gu Caiwei, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something: Zhang Xiaochuan hadn't asked Shangguan Yingzi about Shangguan Yingzi after they had met for so long.
Although Lin Yiyi had met Shangguan Yingzi once at the class reunion, even if Brother Yi asked him, he couldn't answer. But if he wanted to let go of his previous talk and charge him with coming from the capital, Zhang Xiaochuan had to inquire.
