My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 481: I Rely on Loans to Buy Land

Mr. Lin said with a stern face, "Lu Youxi, I’ve already scolded Lin Jingshen for his wrongdoing. He was young and impulsive, and he didn’t think things through."

"He has learned his lesson this time, and I hope you can still be good classmates in the future." As Mr. Lin spoke, he looked at Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi was indeed good-looking, and seemed to have become even more attractive than he remembered.

No wonder Lin Jingshen was so fixated on her.

Jiang Zilin was also pretty, but not as much as Lu Youxi.

It was said that Lu Youxi came from a poor rural family that favored sons over daughters, and was used to doing farm work at home.

You wouldn’t be able to tell that Lu Youxi came from the countryside if you didn’t know her background.

You might even think she was brought up in a wealthy family.

"You’re right, I too hope that our relationship as classmates can improve. Especially now that we are all in business, having more friends is definitely better than more enemies," Lu Youxi said with a smile, "It’s just that Lin Jingshen did wrong, and he has never apologized to me. Where does he get the face to call me as if nothing happened? And now, what face does he have to talk to me about being good classmates?"

Lu Youxi had no intention of becoming good classmates with Lin Jingshen, and even wanted to take this opportunity to directly antagonize him.

After all, she was tired of Lin Jingshen’s occasional pestering.

In other places, Mr. Lin wouldn’t have given Lu Youxi the time of day, but here, there were many peers around.

With everyone curiously looking over, Mr. Lin couldn’t afford to lose face.

Mr. Lin said to Lin Jingshen in a low voice, "You still haven’t apologized to her? Apologize now!"

Lin Jingshen originally didn’t want to apologize, but Mr. Lin subtly pressed on his back.

Feeling Mr. Lin’s threat, and as his finances had been cut off by Mr. Lin lately, Lin Jingshen’s life hadn’t been easy, and he could no longer spend as lavishly as before.

He was also afraid of angering Mr. Lin further and making his life even harder.

So, Lin Jingshen could only say in a deep voice, "I’m sorry."

Lu Youxi laughed and said, "Seeing that you’ve started to learn the business at the company, you can’t continue to be foolish like before, doing things that offend people."

"Lu Youxi," Mr. Lin warned in a stern voice, he had made Lin Jingshen apologize to give Lu Youxi some respect, but she had pushed her luck.

"You are impetuous, just like Lin Jingshen," Mr. Lin said gravely, "The words you said just now should also serve as a reminder to yourself. I heard that you’ve also started two companies, with such capability at a young age, it’s no wonder your temper is a bit inflated. But as you said, we are all in business, and having more friends opens more roads, so better not to do things that offend people."

"What President Lin said makes sense," Lu Youxi said with a smile, nodding her head, unfazed by Mr. Lin’s words.

That surprised Mr. Lin.

He wasn’t sure whether Lu Youxi was being arrogant or if she was adaptable and resilient.

Lin Jingshen clenched his teeth, still humiliated from being forced to apologize to Lu Youxi, and was stewing with a sullen face.

Mr. Lin seemed to relax his expression, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened, and asked Lu Youxi, "What brings you here this time?"

"Isn’t this the place for auctioning land?" Lu Youxi responded with feigned surprise as well as a hint of mockery, as if scoffing at Mr. Lin for asking the obvious.

Mr. Lin sneered and said, "It is indeed a place for auctioning land, but it’s not for bidding on small patches of land like your little internet café"

"The plots being auctioned here are meant for building residential complexes, hotels," Lin Jingshen said, "You’d have to bid on at least several thousand square meters of land."

Lin Jingshen sneered, as if he had regained some face in front of Lu Youxi, "Do you have any idea what several thousand square meters is like? It’s probably bigger than your entire Hexing Village."

Lu Youxi chuckled and said, "It seems to me that it’s you who doesn’t understand the concept of several thousand square meters."

"Do you know that Hexing Rice is cultivated by our village, right?" Lu Youxi continued.

Lin Jingshen fell silent; he of course knew.

Recently, Hexing Rice had been making headlines almost every day, not just on the news but also on various online forums.

On Little Pink Book, it was everywhere.

How could he not know?

Seeing Lin Jingshen’s expression, Lu Youxi understood at once and scoffed, "With the production levels we have for our Hexing Rice, plus our villagers’ housing needs, how could a few thousand square meters of land be enough?"

"We calculate our rural land by the acre," Lu Youxi said with a laugh. "Do you know how many square meters there are in an acre?"

Lin Jingshen: "..."

He really didn’t know.

Despite getting into Jing University and being great at studying, those tests never covered such things. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Besides, as a rich second-generation, he had grown up in luxury and had never even seen what a village looked like.

Lu Youxi always talked about how poor Hexing Village was, but Lin Jingshen had no concept of what rural poverty looked like.

The poorest he had seen on TV were villages nestled deep in the mountains and those depicted with artistic license in films and TV series.

Lin Jingshen then assumed Hexing Village was probably similar.

The houses were either dilapidated with broken tiles or just earthen homes, and the villagers wore tattered clothes, facing the yellow earth with their backs to the sky, and had faces that were dark, tanned, and ruddy.

Their hair, too, seemed dry and straw-colored from nutritional deficiencies, as if constantly covered in dust.

Lin Jingshen always thought Lu Youxi was likely a rare exception in her village.

"An acre is 666.67 square meters. Our crop fields in the village are all calculated by the acre," Lu Youxi explained. "Just a few thousand square meters, that’s all."

Lin Jingshen: "!!!"

You really talk big!

"Just a few thousand square meters," you say?

"My point is, do you have enough money to buy a few thousand square meters of land?" Lin Jingshen asked.

Lu Youxi might have started Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice.

Despite the booming sales of Hexing Rice, it was still too early to make much profit.

Little Pink Book was the same, having only started recently.

They were not like those companies that had been in business for a long time and had accumulated considerable wealth.

How much could Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice have brought in for Lu Youxi so far?

Was it supposed to come from Lu Youxi’s run-down internet cafe and little shabby restaurant?

Moreover, even if Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice did make a decent amount of money, the actual liquid funds available for Lu Youxi to use would not be much.

In short, according to Lin Jingshen’s analysis, Lu Youxi simply did not have the funds to buy such a large piece of land now.

Lu Youxi laughed and said, "Indeed, I don’t have the money to buy, so I took out another loan. As long as I win the bid, I’ll buy the land with the loan."

Lin Jingshen snorted coldly, "Just take it easy there, don’t overstretch yourself and split your crotch."

"In our village there’s a saying, ’The braver the person, the larger the yield,’" Lu Youxi smiled and said, "I started my internet cafe with a loan, so I think buying land will work too."
