Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Fate Plays Tricks on People Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Fate Plays Tricks on People After listening, Lin Yi sighed, “Alas, there are too many such incidents happening in society now. So things can’t be blad on others, but only on fate playing tricks on people. As ti passes, these things will beco unimportant. Don’t take it to heart anymore.”
Xia Nuan nodded and said, “Mm, Uncle Lin, I’m touched that you can say that, but I still hope you won’t forget the matter you promised to help my father with.”
“Rest assured, I definitely won’t forget. You should go back and rest for a bit,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Xia Nuan nodded.
After sending Xia Nuan away, Lin Yi went to his study and made a phone call: “Hello, Boss? It’s , Lin Yi. Are you still at ho?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?” ca the voice of Lin Yi’s superior, Wu Wenxuan, from the other end of the line.
“It’s like this, are you still at ho? I want to ask you to do a favor, I need to know the specific address of Xia Yuan, the president of Xia Group,” Lin Yi said.
There was a mont of surprise from Wu Wenxuan on the other end of the line—he had not expected Lin Yi to suddenly ask him to do such a peculiar task.
But Wu Wenxuan was a clever man who wouldn’t ask why. He simply said, “No problem, I happen to know soone who knows Xia Yuan. If you want to et him, just wait for my notification.”
“Thank you, Boss. When I have the ti, I must treat you to a good al as thanks,” Lin Yi said.
“It’s nothing, we are partners. There’s no need for such formalities. Just rember I’m doing this for you because I should. Just wait for my notification with peace of mind,” Wu Wenxuan said.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi took a deep breath. Although this task seed simple, it was actually quite difficult to find Xia Yuan, the president of Xia Group.
Moreover, he didn’t know how Wu Wenxuan was actually going to contact Xia Yuan. What if he was rejected?
Lin Yi shook his head, not wanting to think too much. After all, his only intention was to find him, not to have him help with anything else.
With this thought, Lin Yi went to the kitchen and instructed the servants to prepare dinner.
He didn’t know how long had passed when Lin Yi received a call from Wu Wenxuan.
“Brother Lin, I’ve sent you the address of Xia Group. Check it for yourself,” Wu Wenxuan said.
“Thank you for the trouble.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi imdiately dialed Xia Yuan’s number.
“Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?” A delicate voice ca from the other end of the phone.
Lin Yi frowned upon hearing this and asked, “Who are you?”
“Oh, I’m your fiancée. Can’t you even recognize my voice?” the voice at the other end said with a tone of complaint.
As soon as Lin Yi heard the voice, he realized the identity of the phone owner—it was Xia Nuan’s best friend, also Wu Wenxuan’s fiancée, Su ngyao.
Realizing this, Lin Yi was a bit embarrassed and didn’t know how to continue the call.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi said, “I’m not Xia Yuan. I’m a friend of Xia Nuan. I’m currently at Xia Nuan’s ho. Do you have ti to join for dinner?”
“Oh? What do you want with Xia Yuan?” Su ngyao asked, puzzled.
“That…that’s none of your concern,” Lin Yi said evasively.
“Alright. I’m at ho now. Co over,” Su ngyao said.
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi left the house and drove to Su ngyao’s place.
Su ngyao sat on the couch and watched as Lin Yi approached.
“Brother Lin, why don’t you call ngyao? My na is ngyao, but you’ve never called that.”
“ngyao,” Lin Yi called out, awkwardly.
“Oh my, why are you being so formal, aren’t we friends?” Su ngyao said.
“ngyao, as long as you don’t mind,” Lin Yi said.
“Mind? Of course not, I’m very happy to know a talented person like Brother Lin,” Su ngyao said.
“Thank you for your praise. The reason I ca to see you is that I have a favor to ask of you,” Lin Yi said.
“What kind of favor?”
“Here’s the thing, I want to discuss a business deal with Xia Yuan, but I’m not very familiar with him, so I was hoping you could show the way,” Lin Yi said.
“You want to find Xia Yuan?” Su ngyao asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Lin Yi nodded and said.
“Are you sure?”
“Certain,” Lin Yi replied very confidently.
After pondering for a mont, Su ngyao said, “The person you’re looking for is Xia Yuan, but you wouldn’t be acquainted with him, right? How co you want to find him?”
“How do you know I don’t know Xia Yuan?” Lin Yi asked.
Shaking her head, Su ngyao said, “Brother Lin, not to hide it from you, I don’t know whether you’re acquainted with Xia Yuan. But if you’re thinking of talking business with him, I feel you shouldn’t seek him out lightly. Otherwise, I’m worried it might be dangerous for you.”
“It’s not about danger, but rather I want Xia Yuan to do a favor. I need the platform of the Xia Group to help expand our company’s business. That’s why I want to talk to him. If the conversation goes well, I’ll try to persuade him to invest in our company. If it doesn’t, I can’t force him to do anything he’s uncomfortable with,” Lin Yi explained.
With a nod, Su ngyao said, “If that’s the case, then I can try to help. But there’s an elent of chance involved because Xia Yuan is not just any businessman. I can’t guarantee he’ll grant you this favor.”
“I appreciate the help,” Lin Yi said.
“What’s there to thank for? You’re Xia Nuan’s most important friend. It’s only right for to help you. Moreover, you have helped Xia Yuan before. I believe there’s a reason for your actions. If it’s because of money, then I’d advise you not to make such a foolish move again,” Su ngyao warned.
“Thank you, ngyao,” Lin Yi said gratefully. He had not expected Su ngyao to be so sensible. She knew the foolish things he had done, and he would rember this kindness and repay it when the opportunity arose.
Su ngyao smiled and said, “Don’t ntion it. You’re Xia Nuan’s most important friend. It’s only right for to help you. Alright, ti’s about up. Go get ready, and once you are, I’ll take you to see Xia Yuan.”
“Alright, thank you,” Lin Yi said.
“There’s no need to thank . We’re friends, and friends help each other out. Well, I’ve got another call to make, so I’ll hang up first,” Su ngyao said and then ended the call.
Lin Yi hung up and imdiately called his secretary, Li Hao, to bring the car over and get ready to go to the Xia Group.
Half an hour later, Lin Yi arrived at the base of the Xia Group building.
Seeing him, Li Hao quickly jumped out of the car and helped with the luggage, saying, “Young Master Lin, this is the Xia Group. Who are you here to see?”
“I’m looking for Xia Yuan, your chairman,” Lin Yi said.
“Very well, please follow ,” Li Hao said and then led Lin Yi toward the elevator.
Upon reaching the top floor’s CEO office, the secretary quickly stood up and slightly bowed, saying, “Young Master Lin, welco. Please co in; the chairman is in his office right now.”
“Thank you,” Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi entered Xia Yuan’s office and found him reviewing docunts at his desk.
Hearing footsteps, Xia Yuan looked up, saw Lin Yi, and his expression darkened slightly.
“Xia Yuan, long ti no see,” Lin Yi said.
Xia Yuan too was surprised to see Lin Yi. Why had he co to see him? Wasn’t he with the Zhao Family’s daughter? What did Lin Yi want with him?
“Do you have business with ?” Xia Yuan asked.
