Andy, being a girl and having to be the driver later, didn't drink any alcohol; she just ate.
Of course, she would also pour wine for Lin Yi from time to time.
Upon seeing this, Tan Zongming smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, you're really lucky. There are countless women in the company who like Andy, but you beat me to it."
Lin Yi laughed and said, "I might believe this in other places, but I don't believe it in the company."
"Oh? How so?" Tan Zongming asked curiously.
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Because of Andy's personality, she is a very serious person."
"It's already a miracle that those people don't talk badly about her behind her back, so how could they possibly like her?"
"Haha—no wonder you're Andy's boyfriend, you're really smart, just like you said." Tan Zongming said with a smile.
"Many company veterans have come to me to report on Andy's affairs, because Andy doesn't give any face when he does things."
Lin Yi said with a smile, "You definitely didn't agree."
"Yes, only someone with this kind of personality can give me peace of mind sitting in this position," Tan Zongming said.
Lin Yi nodded.
Yes.
If it were someone with a more outgoing personality, or someone with a lot of ideas... well, Tan Zongming wouldn't dare to do that at all.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Tan Zongming raised his glass and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaoyi, actually, the reason I called you here today is to discuss a business deal with you."
Sure enough, I finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"What kind of business?" Lin Yi asked calmly.
“The new district is developing recently, and you have a piece of land that I want to buy to build an employee dormitory. It’s very close to our company,” Tan Zongming said.
Was Tan Zongming's purpose simply to build an employee dormitory?
To be honest, Lin Yi was somewhat skeptical.

Was Tan Zongming's goal simply to acquire a piece of land?
Given Tan Zongming's wealth, if he wanted land to build employee dormitories, he should have many other options. Why did he specifically ask him for land?
Lin Yi had no choice but to think carefully. Tan, this man, had a smiling face on the surface, but in this era, no one who could become a billionaire was simple.
The easy ones were all eaten.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Tan, since you've asked, I have to give you face."
Okay, I'll go ask about it later and see if this land conflicts with our development plan.
"If not, this land will be used to build staff dormitories for you, Lao Tan."
"Okay, haha, thanks a lot, young man."
Tan Zongming was overjoyed to hear this.
Tan Zongming said with a smile, "To be honest, Brother Xiaoyi, I actually had this idea a few years ago, but at that time the land already had an owner, and that guy wouldn't sell it."
By the time I noticed it again, Xiao Yi had already taken it first.
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Then it's only right that Old Tan gets it."
"Brother Xiaoyi, you're too kind," Tan Zongming said with a smile. "I know that area is going to be developed by the government soon, and Brother Xiaoyi's company is one of the companies involved."
"Alright then, Xiao Yi. You give me the land, you find the construction workers, I just want the staff dormitories."
Tan Zongming's words greatly reduced Lin Yi's vigilance.
If all they need is employee dormitories, then giving them this land is fine.
Lin Yi was afraid that this guy wanted to use the competition as a springboard to enter the real estate industry.
Even though Tan Zongming is already rich enough, who would complain about having too much money?
Lin Yi's decoration company is also doing very well, generating countless profits.
But Lin Yi knew that real estate would soon be a huge cash cow, and Lin Yi was tempted by it too.
It's perfectly normal for money to sway people's hearts.
Therefore, this is what Lin Yi is worried about.
If the Jingyan Group is unable to take action and another powerful force comes along, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to Lao Tan. Thank you for supporting my business, Lao Tan."
"You're too kind. I should be thanking you, Brother Xiaoyi," Tan Zongming said with a smile.
The two of them chatted happily, drinking one cup after another.
Seeing that both of their faces were red, Andy couldn't help but say, "That's enough, don't drink too much, let's drink again next time."
“Okay, then we’ll do as Andy says, Brother Xiaoyi, we’ll drink next time,” Tan Zongming said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Lao Tan." Lin Yi nodded.
Tan Zongming was picked up by the driver and taken away.
Andy gently supported Lin Yi. Although Lin Yi had drunk quite a bit, given his physical condition, he wasn't drunk at all.
He blushed on purpose.
However, Lin Yi still enjoyed Andy's support, taking advantage of the situation as they walked.
Before I knew it, I was on the bus.
"Slow down, slow down," Andy said.
"Oh my, we're already on the bus? How come this journey is so short?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Ok?"
Andy looked at Lin Yi and gently nudged him.
"Okay, so you were faking it, weren't you?" Andy said with a smile. "I knew it! So that's why you kept touching me."
Lin Yi looked at Andy with a smile and said, "Andy, don't think I don't know. You could tell I wasn't drunk, you just didn't say so."
“…Hmm.” Andy nodded.
Lin Yi said with a smile, "That's why I say, acting appropriately is like a little game in love. If you're happy, I'm happy too."
Upon hearing this, Andy blushed considerably.
It seems that's true; at least she feels great, and she really likes this feeling.
Andy said, "Are you in a bit of a dilemma about what Old Tan just said? Don't soften your heart because of me. There are no family ties in the business world. Just do what you have to do. I'm definitely on your side."
"I'm much happier now that you say that," Lin Yi said with a smile. "Very good. She's truly the woman I admire, truly my girlfriend. Her heart is definitely with me."
Andy listened, and seeing his somewhat smug look, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Actually, it's fine, don't overthink it."
Lin Yi asked, "By the way, did Lao Tan mention the employee dormitory to you?"
“No,” Andy said.
“He didn’t tell you, not because he wanted to hide it from you, but because he didn’t want to affect the relationship between you and me,” Lin Yi said.
"Mm." Andy nodded.
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Actually, what I'm worried about is whether Lao Tan's purpose in doing this is to get into the real estate industry."
Lin Yi voiced his concerns.
Since they were all on the same side, Lin Yi didn't need to hold back in his words.
"Real estate? That's impossible!" Andy said, somewhat surprised. "Most of Lao Tan's businesses are related to the internet. How could he possibly get into real estate?"
"not sure."
Lin Yi said, "The main thing is the timing of his request for the land, which makes me a little suspicious. Why did he have to contact me now instead of earlier or later? Do you think I wouldn't overthink it?"
Also, in the world of martial arts, one must always be wary of others.
"I understand."
Andy once said, "Honestly, because your business involves real estate, I've also been researching real estate recently, and I've come to a conclusion."
"Really? What's the conclusion?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
"Houses are getting more and more expensive, whether it's commercial land or anything else, land is also getting more and more expensive."
I looked at land auctions in various places and found that land in the government area is getting more expensive year by year.
"I also did some research on housing. Although housing prices haven't risen much recently, overall, the trend is still upward," Andy shared his thoughts.

“So I think that if real estate is done well, there is great potential. The industry you’ve chosen is very good,” Andy said.
“Yes, you know this, how could Tan Zongming not know it? That’s what I’m worried about, you know?” Lin Yi said.
"Well, that's understandable."
Andy said, "Just do what you need to do and don't worry about me. Although he and I are friends, you are my man. I know very well who is closer and who is less close to me."
"Not bad, not bad." Lin Yi was very satisfied.
Andy drove Lin Yi back to their apartment complex.
As they took the elevator upstairs, Fan Shengmei walked in when they reached the first floor.
Fan Shengmei's hair was slightly disheveled, and there were a few scraps of paper stuck to her clothes.
Lin Yi could tell at a glance that Fan Shengmei must have encountered some trouble.
Otherwise, given Fan Shengmei's refined personality, how could she possibly do something that would damage her image?
However, Lin Yi did not intend to ask or interfere.
