NOVEL NEXT Chapter 306 The Competition
Eventually, Han's mother was persuaded, and Lin Yi could now explain the current situation to his beloved children.
After lunch, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei took their three children and left.
"Mom, why are you picking us up so early to go back? We thought we were going to spend more time at grandma and grandpa's place."
Not only Da Bao, but the other children also believed they might stay at their grandparents' house for a longer period.
But they never expected their parents would come to take them back so soon. They were very reluctant to leave grandma and grandpa.
Seeing her three adorable children like this, Han Xuewei felt her heart melting.
"My darlings, don't you want to go back with mom and dad? Don't worry, mom is on vacation for a while, so I have time to spend with you. That's why I came to take you home. Or do you prefer grandma and grandpa a bit more, and don't like mom and dad anymore?"
Han Xuewei pretended to be very sad.
The children, seeing mom upset, immediately became restless and hurried to explain to Han Xuewei.
"How could that be? Mom, how could we dislike you? We are, of course, very happy. It's just that we also worry about holding you back from your work. Mom, please don't cry; we know we were wrong."
As soon as Han Xuewei cried, the children instantly panicked, and Lin Yi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Han Xuewei was already so grown-up, how could she still be like a child? But Lin Yi loved her for just that.
"Alright, alright, stop teasing them. They are still so young; how would they know your tricks? Sit tight, we're almost home. Darlings, is there anything you want to eat for lunch?"
Before going home, if the children wanted anything to eat, Lin Yi could make a detour to buy it.
The children thought for a moment.
They hadn't had hotpot for a long time, so they decided to have a hotpot for lunch at home. Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
Then, he went with the children and Han Xuewei to the market, buying some vegetables and other food for the hotpot.
Just after arriving at home, Lin Yi received a call from an unfamiliar number, with a very arrogant male voice on the other end.
After careful recollection, Lin Yi realized it was Wang Sheng.
"Do you have something important? Because if not, I'm going to hang up. I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you."
Nothing was more important than being with his children and wife, so Lin Yi really didn't want to bother with him.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's tone, Wang Sheng became even angrier.
This guy really didn't see them as important at all.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Sheng made this call—he wanted to challenge Lin Yi!
"Lin Yi, what's there for you to be arrogant about? If you're a man, then have a match with me. I can't accept it, why should father compromise? I am determined to defeat you and show him!"
This Wang Sheng must have a case of second-year syndrome, right? Stricken with his own delusions, and now he wants to drag Lin Yi into it?
"Kid, I have zero interest in your business, so don't bother me."
After speaking, Lin Yi was already ready to hang up the phone.
People like Wang Sheng, Lin Yi had seen plenty.
It was all about wanting to show off in front of their own father because there wasn't an opportunity before.
Now, suddenly Lin Yi showed up, and it was a good opportunity; he wanted to seize this chance.
Hearing that Lin Yi was about to hang up, the person on the other end of the line panicked instantly, fearing to lose this opportunity with Lin Yi.
I guess I'll never have the chance again, huh?
"Don't hang up, Lin Yi, are you scared? I'm telling you, I've got your family's address. If you don't compete with me, then I'll have no choice but to start with the people around you."
That threat made Lin Yi stop the action of hanging up the phone.
No matter what, he absolutely couldn't lay a hand on his family. That was Lin Yi's bottom line.
And Wang Sheng had just trampled on Lin Yi's bottom line.
"Interesting, you're threatening me to compete with you? Well then, tell me, what do you want to compete in?"

Since this guy was so presumptuous as to challenge Lin Yi,
Lin Yi would then smack him down hard, ensuring he could never lift his head in front of his father again.
He mustn't really think Lin Yi was easily bullied.
Although Lin Yi was indeed a newcomer to the scene, dealing with someone like Wang Sheng was still well within his capabilities.
The kid seemed to be lacking in cunning; probably the competition he'd choose would be rather simple.
"What's wrong with me threatening you? I haven't even started on you. My competition is very simple. We both sell things. Whoever sells more wins. What do you think?
It should be a good topic for us, since you sell stuff and so do I."
Wang Sheng was secretly elated in his heart, convinced he had already won. He simply didn't take Lin Yi seriously.
He thought Lin Yi was just a guy who had become popular relying on his own medicine formula and was not to be feared.
"Alright then, tell me what you want to sell. Are we selling our own medicines, or something else?"
If he didn't smack this guy hard, he would probably keep pestering Lin Yi.
So to save himself future trouble, he agreed to his request.
After some thought, Wang Sheng realized he definitely couldn't out-sell Lin Yi if it came to medicines.
After all, the medicines Lin Yi currently had were selling like hotcakes.
"Let's sell herbal medicines. However, these herbs must be shipped out from our homes. You are not allowed to use your own. Of course, I assure you, our herbs will be the same. There won't be any discrepancies."
Although Lin Yi had no idea what scheme Wang Sheng had in mind, he agreed in the end.
After Wang Sheng hung up the phone, he went to prepare.
He was determined to humble Lin Yi forever and show those who looked down on him that he was actually very impressive!
Day in, day out, there were always these overconfident people coming to cause trouble.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and then returned to his wife's side.
They had already prepared everything needed for the hotpot.
"Dad, where did you go just now? Why were you on the phone for so long? We've been waiting for you."
Da Bao jumped into his father's arms, while Er Bao and Xiao Bao also wanted to join in the fun, but Lin Yi pushed them away.
After all, they were boys and couldn't be like the girls.
Luckily, Er Bao and Xiao Bao didn't mind much, as going to cuddle with Mom was just as good.
"It was work stuff, so the call took a bit longer."
