Lin Yi would sotis let Han Xuewei drive his Range Rover, but the opportunity for her to take the wheel was quite rare. After all, with Lin Yi as her personal driver, it was naturally expected.
Lin Yi said, "I'm just providing a reference for my mother-in-law."
If they really let Xuewei's parents provide a house as part of her dowry, it could impact their goal of opening a restaurant, considering how costly buying a house can be. However, buying a car was different. He had previously given twenty million to the elders, which was more than enough to buy a good car.
Han Xuewei's father also chid in, "Vivi, let your mother and decide on this. We'll choose a decent car. Even if you don't want to drive, Lin Yi can take it out occasionally. In any case, there must be a dowry."
Without a better idea, Han Xuewei could only pout and say, "Understood."
In truth, she didn't have any particular demands; the dowry was of no consequence to her. Besides, other than for commuting, she had no use for a car, so one worth several hundred thousand was completely sufficient, while one worth over a million seed wasteful to her since she was not a car enthusiast.
However, Lin Yi believed that since no one had a better idea, he had to make a suggestion.
Since the car he bought for his wife was indeed the cheapest, it should be sowhat presentable as a dowry, to avoid idle gossip. Moreover, his parents-in-law would definitely want to give their daughter a bit more face!
Now that the dowry had been agreed upon, it was also appropriate to discuss the bride price.
Lin Yi was well aware that his parents-in-law wouldn't dictate the amount of the bride price. If he didn't bring it up, it would be difficult to negotiate a figure.
At that mont, Lin Yi took the initiative to say, "How about this? Since no one is ntioning the bride price, I'll suggest a figure—nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand yuan, symbolizing long-lasting fortune. It's an auspicious number, right?"
Han Xuewei's mother quickly laughed and said, "That's enough, it's too much."
Nowadays, when it cos to bride prices, many people just look for a nurically auspicious figure—it's a kind of modern romance, I suppose!
Lin Yi had already given them ten million each, which was quite a generous gift!
If they demanded too much more, it would make people think that the Han family was selling their daughter, especially since this bride price was already quite high locally!
"So are we agreed on these matters? For the wedding banquet, my family will take care of it, and we will also entertain guests from the bride's side," Lin Yi's father stated on the spot.
Han Xuewei's parents had no objections and nodded their agreent.
Thus, the arrangents for the couple's belated wedding were quickly settled: Han Xuewei's parents would provide a nice car as part of the dowry, Lin Yi would personally offer a bride price of nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, and Lin Yi's parents would handle the banquets for both families, also ensuring to furnish the bride with jewelry.
Lin Yi's mother had, in fact, already gone to the jewelry store and purchased a considerable amount of gold and silver jewelry, including several pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, spending over a million in total. However, since the children's wedding details had not been fully set, she had not told anyone else.
After all, marriage is a significant event in life. And since Lin Yi is the Lin Family's treasured son, his mother definitely wants to splurge this ti. However, the business had seen a downturn recently, so she had been more frugal with her spending. If it hadn't been for the ten million her son had given her to splurge with, she wouldn't have been able to buy all that jewelry!
With the wedding settled, it was ti to visit Han Xuewei's grandmother's ho, to check in on her, and to make arrangents for the necessary banquet, ensuring a proper celebration.
After sitting together for a while chatting, Han Xuewei's father suddenly said to everyone, "Today I sent soone to check out that shop we were interested in before, it's at No. 3 Expo Garden in Yantan District. It's a duplex structure, with the first layer having an area of 180 square ters, and the second layer is twice the size of the first layer.
It's definitely big enough, and the rent is not that high."
"However, there's a new problem now. Recently, when I was planning to rent this shop, I encountered a competitor, a catering company from Xiangcheng. They also have their eyes on this place. Since I'm from out of town, I might not have much of an advantage in the competition. I wonder if any of you know soone related who could help speak on my behalf."
Lin Yi started to think it over; he had heard about Expo Garden in Yantan District a long ti ago. Just walk five avenues to the east and you'll reach Yantan. The Expo Garden is actually just a big street, and it's not very far from here. The Expo Garden used to be bustling, it was also one of the earliest city centers.
At that mont, Lin Yi also suddenly rembered that on the day he took Han Xuewei to the charity gala, he had overheard a conversation around the corner, discussing news that the Expo Garden in Yantan District was about to be expropriated, which was supposed to happen within the upcoming month.
If his father-in-law rushed to rent that place now, he would face the outco of losing a large sum of money! The investnt into the decoration would go down the drain!
"Father-in-law, do you know which catering company is competing with you for the sa shop?"
Lin Yi wanted to understand the background of this catering company first.
He determined that this catering company must be sowhat famous; after all, Expo Garden in Yantan District has a large flow of people and not a small amount of rent. Their ability to take over that spot indicates that they have considerable strength.
Moreover, Yang Fan's family also works in catering, and they have the capacity as well.
Speaking of Yang Fan, it's necessary to talk about his personality. He's extrely flamboyant in his actions, and almost all students at the school are aware of his family's wealth and know about his company.
He also heard recently that Yang Fan's family company was planning to expand their scale.
It must be said that their catering company really does a good job; it is an up-and-coming star in recent years, with a certain local reputation.
If it's their company competing with Han Xuewei's father, there really is a significant gap in strength.
Han Xuewei's father took out his phone, looked at his notes, and then said, "The na of that company is Kaiyue. They're also quite famous locally."
"Ah? Kaiyue Catering Company??" Lin Yi was startled after hearing that!
By a stroke of ironic luck, that was Yang Fan's family company!
Talk about enemies on a narrow road!
He hadn't yet found the right opportunity to give Yang Fan and Li Jingwen a bit of hardship!
Having just shifted his scheming to Han Xuewei's side, Lin Yi had to take this chance to get his revenge!
Han Xuewei's father seed to notice Lin Yi's expression at that mont and asked curiously, "Do you know about this Kaiyue Catering Company?"
