Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Brought You Some Local Specialties

It’s a little past ten in the morning, and because Xiao Zihan had just endured some torment, she wasn’t feeling very comfortable physically, so she stayed in her room to rest and read a book.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi stepped out of the room to go find Principal Cheng.

As he walked out of the guesthouse’s main door, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that his car was seemingly still in that woman’s hands.

But it’s already been a night plus a morning, isn’t there any movement on that side?

Could it be that his license plate isn’t impressive enough?

What Lin Yi didn’t know was that his license plate was indeed very impressive and had caused quite a stir.

…

At the West City Seventh Brigade, during the morning work hours, a brand-new silver-gray Land Rover slowly drove into the brigade’s gate.

In an instant, everyone who saw it was shocked.

It’s not that a Land Rover is anything special, after all, this is the Capital City where even a Rolls-Royce isn’t out of the ordinary; what truly shocked them was the license plate on this car.

Beijing A00001!

All eyes were glued to this car and its door, eager to see who could possess such a plate.

Finally, as the car door opened, Ouyang Ying, dressed in uniform, jumped down from the driver’s seat.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd was both astonished and a bit relieved.

Everyone in the brigade knew that Ouyang Ying, recently transferred here, had an unusual identity; now it seems it was indeed extraordinary.

On the third day of work, arriving in a Beijing A00001 Land Rover to work!

It’s important to know that this number isn’t like one made up of five eights; you can’t get this number just by having money.

Yet that wasn’t the most exaggerated part; the most exaggerated part was that someone with sharp eyes saw that on the Land Rover’s windshield, there was actually a red pass stuck there.

Looking again at the family courtyard mentioned on the pass, everyone’s shock was nearly as great as it was with the license plate.

The brigade captain happened to be stopping his car at this moment, seeing Ouyang Ying’s car and its unusual license plate.

He could only shake his head helplessly: “Alas, how did such a daunting lady end up in my brigade? Who knows how much trouble she’ll cause me in the future.”

However, Ouyang Ying, who was the focus of all this attention, was completely indifferent to the looks around her.

Without even glancing around, she slammed the car door shut and strode into her office wearing her small leather shoes.

Arriving at the office specially ‘equipped’ for her, Ouyang Ying leaned back in her chair, fiddled with the Land Rover’s key in her hand, her face full of displeasure.

She was thinking, pondering over whether she should call that scumbag.

According to the rules, her actions were unreasonable, yet remembering what was in the scumbag’s hands reminded her of that scumbag who made his girlfriend jump off a building.

Instantly, an unaccountable fury rose in her heart.

“Hmph, I really want to see what kind of holy figure you are.”

Mumbling this, Ouyang Ying immediately reached for her phone and called a former colleague:

“Hey, Xiao Qiao, help me look up someone’s information, I’ll send you the ID number on WeChat in a while.

Alright, I got it, don’t worry, it’s between the heavens, the earth, you, and me, I’ll treat you to a meal later, you can order anything at Shangri-La! Hehe, I knew you were the best, alright, let me know as soon as you find something.”

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Ying sent Lin Yi’s ID number to Xiao Qiao and leisurely drank a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

…

On Lin Yi’s side, he once again hopelessly rode a shared bicycle to Principal Cheng’s office.

“Haha, Xiao Lin is here, come and sit.”

Saying this, Principal Cheng walked over from behind his desk and sat opposite Lin Yi, taking out a tea canister intending to brew some tea.

At this moment, Lin Yi smiled and stopped Principal Cheng’s actions:

“Haha, I brought you some local specialties, why don’t you try it.”

Speaking, Lin Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden box.

Seeing this, Principal Cheng was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lin Yi to be so considerate.

It didn’t matter if the gift was expensive or not, what mattered was the thoughtfulness behind it.

At the very least, it was a form of respect for the person.

Judging from this alone, Lin Yi was quite shrewd.

From their chat a couple of days ago, he learned that the young man was planning to start a business.

Doing business, dealing with people becomes even more intricate.

“Haha, so thoughtful, it’s been five or six years since I last visited the island, it’s been so long!”

Glancing at the small box in Lin Yi’s hand, Lao Cheng was also a little puzzled.

Looking at this small box, it resembled a tea box, but in his impression, the island didn’t seem to produce tea leaves.

Moreover, the island is a coastal city, the specialty should be seafood, right?

At this time, Lin Yi had pushed the small box in front of him.

Seeing this, Lao Cheng didn’t shy away but reached out to open the small box.

After all, it was just a small gesture from a student.

Furthermore, Lin Yi’s situation was quite unique, he would likely have a lot of interactions with him in the future.

Not to mention, the office building he promised, at such a favorable price, couldn’t be matched by mere local specialties.

Additionally, opening it in front of Lin Yi also showed he didn’t consider him an outsider.

But as he lifted the box lid, he was immediately taken aback.

It was indeed tea leaves inside!

Could it be that the island has now started growing tea?

Yet in the next moment, he directly dismissed this idea.

It was impossible. Not to mention whether the island grows tea now, just by the age of these tea leaves, they must be at least five or six years old.

He had visited the island five or six years ago, and they weren’t growing tea there at that time.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of these tea leaves, they were obviously Longjing tea.

He raised his head in curiosity to glance at Lin Yi, finding Lin Yi smiling at him.

He then lowered his head, took a piece from inside gently using his fingers, and sniffed under his nose. Suddenly, a hint of astonishment flashed across Lao Cheng’s eyes:

“Huh?”

Mid-sentence, he cautiously placed the tea leaf in his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, and savored it carefully.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, unable to hide the delight in them:

“Good tea! Good tea indeed! Lin, you’re really thoughtful. To be honest, I’ve been drinking tea for nearly ten years, and this is the first time I’ve seen such exquisite Longjing tea, haha, I appreciate it.”

Lao Cheng was only in his forties, and by the time he started drinking tea, the authentic Imperial Qian Longjing had long become rare.

By the time he could afford it, the Imperial Qian Longjing had vanished from people’s view.
