Liao Yi nodded: "Initially, I felt he had things to talk about with , but after these couple of days, I’ve found sothing not quite right. Yesterday was even more peculiar, his words just kept repeating, so I asked you all to accompany ."
Chu Yin pinched her chin and said, "His behavior really resembles a certain type of person."
"What kind of person?" Liao Yi asked curiously.
"Those who are trained models, specially targeting wealthy won, capable of saying anything. Don’t be fooled; though they’re models, in reality, their taste in wine, conversational skills, and deanor are exceptional. So even undergo specialized training for a particular wealthy woman."
After listening, Lin Zhiyi understood Chu Yin’s point.
"So what you’re saying is that soone trained Darren to approach Liao Yi, and in fact, he might just be a dummy."
"Exactly, like the painting earlier, he was just following a formula. Now, with any random painting, it can be tested out," Chu Yin said.
With that, Liao Yi asked a store employee to bring another painting over.
It was also painted by a kid Liao Yi recently taught.
Coincidentally, Darren returned, regaining his confident deanor.
Lin Zhiyi coughed, and the three of them pretended to admire the painting in front of them.
Darren looked at the painting, slightly frowned, his mind filled with phrases gathered earlier.
"What are you looking at?"
"The painting that just arrived, what do you think?" Liao Yi asked.
Darren chuckled, "This painting has a futuristic feel, and..."
He spoke incessantly.
Even the accidental smudged paint was described as a future aura by him.
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin felt embarrassed for him.
Liao Yi couldn’t listen any longer and asked, "Darren, who instructed you to approach ?"
Darren’s expression showed a mont of shock.
"Liao Yi, what are you talking about? We didn’t know each other before."
"Darren, this is my painting, just taken out from the trash pile," Liao Yi replied.
Only then did Darren realize he was exposed.
He laughed and explained, "I... I just wanted to have a few words with you, believe ."
Liao Yi pointed to Chu Yin, "She knows Mr. Sang. Whether you are really Sang Group’s sales director, just one phone call will tell. If he can’t, do you think Second Young Master’s daughter can?"
Upon hearing this, Darren swallowed hard and tried to run.
Yet, ultimately, he was blocked by Chu Yin.
"Running? Even if you run now, do you think you can escape Jing City?"
Darren understood he had no way out.
He said, "Don’t act recklessly."
"Speak nicely, I can assure you’ll be fine," Lin Zhiyi said.
Darren knew he was cornered.
He had no reason to offend Lin Zhiyi for soone else, hence he confessed without much effort.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk."
"Who are you?" Liao Yi asked curiously.
"I’m an attendant at Heaven on Earth," Darren explained, "Soone paid a hundred thousand to learn how to approach Liao Yi."
"Just to get close to Liao Yi?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
Previously, there were also people who wanted to exploit Liao Yi against them, so she wanted to clear that up first.
Darren felt he had nothing left to hide.
"Yes, it’s all about Liao Yi."
This indicated that the target was indeed Liao Yi.
Chu Yin continued asking, "Who is it?"
"Just two won, about your age; they said they wanted to teach Liao Yi a lesson. That’s all I know," Darren said.
Two won?
Liao Yi thought for a few seconds, then imdiately pulled out a photo from her phone.
"Is it them?"
Darren glanced at the photo, it was Liao Yi with those two won in a group photo.
He pointed at the won in the photo and nodded repeatedly.
"It’s them, just them."
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin leaned in.
Turns out, it was two female classmates who previously co-owned a restaurant with Liao Yi.
"Never expected it to be them."
Liao Yi sighed heavily.
She couldn’t understand, after all this ti, how these two with no contact with her would hire soone to hurt her?
Seeing Liao Yi dazed, Lin Zhiyi imdiately called Chen Jin to help investigate where those two won were.
Ten minutes later, Chen Jin gave her the information.
Unexpectedly, they were still at that art restaurant.
Chu Yin glanced at her curiously and asked, "Isn’t there said to be a problem with the restaurant?"
Liao Yi explained, "I heard from other classmates that they suddenly revived the restaurant, but I don’t really know how. I’ve only seen online reviews, and there are quite a few negative ones."
Darren pursed his lips, "I’ve said everything, I didn’t harm you, can you let go?"
Lin Zhiyi smiled softly, "If you want to leave, that’s fine, but help us with one thing first."
Darren imdiately said, "As long as you let off, I’ll agree to anything."
Lin Zhiyi slowly stood up.
"Then let’s go, et your employer."
...
In a blink, Lin Zhiyi and the group arrived at the art restaurant.
Back when Liao Yi managed it, there were plenty of custors.
Even if they didn’t go inside to eat, the art decor outside attracted many people to take photos and check in.
The popularity was impressive.
But now, the outside still looked like when Liao Yi left, except it was particularly dirty.
A big paper was posted at the entrance, saying that the shop was for transfer.
Liao Yi regretfully said, "Why not tidy up properly? Didn’t they say they got funding later?"
"Let’s go inside and find out," Lin Zhiyi didn’t say much.
She just signaled the driver to keep a close eye on Darren before they went inside.
Then Liao Yi led the way into the restaurant.
At a glance, nothing seed to have changed, yet everything seed different.
Everything had beco old and ssy.
The only unchanged thing was a few relatives among the staff, who looked at people with disdain.
Upon hearing the door open, they lazily greeted, "Welco."
"Would you like to eat..."
The staff squinted upon seeing Liao Yi clearly.
"Liao Yi? Why are you here?"
Liao Yi said straightforwardly, "Are they not coming out to see ?"
The staff pointed to a sign on the table, "Sorry, we have a minimum charge here, 299 per person, who’s paying?"
Liao Yi pulled out her phone, "I’ll pay, I want to see what you can do for 299."
Then, they sat by the window.
As soon as their hands touched the table surface, the skin felt a sticky sensation.
Chu Yin imdiately wiped it, "What is this? 299 for this service? What did you use to wipe the table? It’s way too greasy!"
Liao Yi touched it, helplessly saying, "I reminded them before, if they wanted to keep custors, they must have good service, especially since most early custors ca for photos and check-ins, so the table mustn’t be dirty. Normally I required them to wipe it three tis."
"Since their relatives ca in, they’ve been cutting corners, saying where they co from restaurants only wipe once."
"Now, it looks like they’re wiping all tables with one unwashed cloth."
Chu Yin contemptuously pulled out napkins for everyone to wipe the tables.
"This reminds of the old small snack shops; the first thing I did upon sitting was pull out tissues to wipe the table. But at snack shops, I could have a good al for 29, yet here they want 299. I’m simply amazed; if there are custors, they must be ghosts."
Her voice had just dropped when elsewhere a woman’s voice sounded.
"Liao Yi? Why are you here?"
