Lin Yi saw potential in a mall that looked like it was about to go bankrupt and boldly bought it. This was a rare investment talent.
Lin Yi usually remained calm when praised, but being praised by Huo Jihan, a big shot, was different.
He raised an eyebrow, "If you keep praising me like this, I might get carried away!"
Huo Jihan even managed a slight smile.
After cracking a joke, Lin Yi started thinking about another matter.
Although he had bought the mall, he didn't plan to manage it himself.
After all, he had decided to live a laid-back life this time around. If he had to do everything himself, what would be the difference from his previous life?
So he planned to find someone to manage the mall while he just collected the profits.
Lin Yi thought Huo Jihan must be better at this, so he sincerely asked, "By the way, where should I look for someone to help me manage the mall?"
Since he had transmigrated into this book, he didn't know many people and had no connections, leaving him without any good ideas.
At this moment, Huo Jihan directly offered, "I can assign someone from the group to help you manage it."
Is there such a good thing?
Lin Yi feared Huo Jihan might change his mind and snapped his fingers, "Deal!"
However, he soon thought of something else and looked uncertainly at Huo Jihan, "Wait! If your subordinate helps me manage it, how will we split the profits?"
Wouldn't he owe Huo Jihan a share?
When Lin Yi asked this, his eyes sparkled mischievously, like a cunning little fox.
Huo Jihan looked at Lin Yi for a moment before answering, "All of it goes to you."
Lin Yi was instantly overjoyed. "Mr. Huo is truly generous!"
He had been waiting for Huo Jihan to say those words!
After Huo Jihan left to handle some business, Lin Yi remained in the living room, reveling in his good fortune for quite a while.
When he thought about it carefully, this was an incredibly profitable deal for him!
Firstly, the money to buy the mall came from Huo Jihan, and secondly, the management staff was arranged by Huo Jihan as well. Throughout the entire process, he hadn't done much at all.
Oh, wait, that's not entirely true. If he had to say, he did contribute something-his keen eye for spotting a highly promising investment asset.
But still, it didn't take much effort on his part, so it was essentially free money!
Meanwhile, the Lin family had gathered to celebrate someone's birthday.
During the meal, someone mentioned Lin Yi buying the mall.
Immediately, everyone started chattering excitedly.
"I think Lin Yi is just rich and foolish, buying such a remote mall?"
"Exactly! If that money were mine, it would be put to better use. Lin Yi is wasting it."
"Lin Yi has become more and more heartless. He used to send money home and help relatives occasionally, but now he's completely ungrateful."
"Speaking of which, isn't Lin Yi losing a lot of money after buying that mall? He might be struggling to make ends meet."
"He probably is, maybe even crying somewhere in private."
