Lin Yilong had a clear conscience when he said this, even if he used a lie detector test, he could get through the danger on this issue. He did not take advantage of his workplace advantage or similar unequal position to facilitate his "bullying" of Miss Whitehouse.

As for his relationship with Katie, it can hardly be called bullying, it's another matter entirely. If there is a legal term to describe it, it is bargaining advantage.

In many cases, people confuse the use of bargain power with the use of force to reach the validity of an agreement, and think that both are situations of using means to force the other party to the agreement. But in terms of legality, the former is legal and the latter is illegal. However, this is not to say that the bargaining advantage mentioned above can be abused unlimitedly—leaving aside the issue of the legality of the consideration in the agreement reached by Katie and the Yeon sisters for the time being—Lin Yilong can pat his chest and promise that he has never forced anyone to do anything, and that others have chosen to accept his proposal.

In most law firms, the working procedure is generally as follows: the senior assistant first receives the assignment from the partner and the client, completes an independent investigation with the subordinates, and then transcribes the solution based on the conclusion of the investigation and hands it to the partner, then the partner chooses the solution that he thinks is the most reasonable and safe, and after the main idea is settled, the senior assistant hands over the scattered documents to the junior assistant and the trainee to sort out the draft of the final report. Even if there are two or more senior assistants in the same case, the part they are responsible for is close to a separate case part. In this way, each senior assistant actually handles the case independently, and there are conflicting interests and motives between them, which makes Lin Yilong have to conjecture on the darkest side of people's hearts. An internal inquiry investigation initiated directly after the parties remain silent can definitely be classified as some kind of malicious investigation.

Seeing that she couldn't help Lin Yilong, who was at the same level as herself, McGonagall asked her partner Davis to come forward to meet with Lin Yilong, and on the other hand, McGonagall also tried to get a report from Katie that Lin Yilong abused his mentoring position. Lin Yilong insisted that he didn't know, and Katie also insisted that she wanted to go to Wales for personal reasons. The whole incident ended with Lin Yilong threatening to apply for labor arbitration to seek relief because he was discriminated against by the department head McGonagall because of his skin color, gender, and cultural background. With Mr. Davis's intervention, McGonagall gave up the investigation of breaking the casserole and asking for relief, and Lin Yilong did not take the matter to the labor arbitration tribunal to find relief.

Davis's plan was to play 20 boards each, and Lin Yilong, who completed the handover of work, was given a paid long vacation, which lasted until the day he officially began to leave without pay, and McGonagall, as the head of the department, was still sent to the department, the position was still senior assistant, but no longer the head of the department.

After Monday's lunch break, Mr. Lin went straight to his partner in charge of personnel and staff training to go through the formalities of leave without pay: he handed in his law firm's pass, laptop, schedule and some books, cancelled personal information such as fingerprints, mobile phone numbers and email addresses, and took with him a cheque for a total of £30,000 in salary and quarterly bonuses paid in advance by his law firm during the break. His brief stint in London ended there.

Lin Yilong was frustrated, partly out of nostalgia for his work, and partly out of resentment that he had not received support from Mr. Davis. His frustration lasted only a short time, and was distracted by some trivial matters of tree farm construction.

He learned by email that all the buildings and roads in the town had been cleared, and now that he had decided on the layout of his main residence, the construction company could begin construction according to the selected design.

According to the design plan given by the spaceship AI, Lin Yilong's house is distributed in a zigzag shape from south to north - consisting of three north-south two-story buildings connected by a corridor with the same width as the two-story building on the south side. The exit of the whole building is located in the middle of a horizontal line under the word "mountain", directly connected to the only asphalt road reserved for road connection, after entering is a separate entrance for changing shoes and hanging jackets and coats, and after entering the porch, you can see the corridor connecting the two wings surrounded by glass curtain walls, the west corridor with the cinema, the east corridor with the family living room, and the north into a slightly narrow aisle and stairwell at the end of the aisle squeezed by the living room and the main dining room. The second floor of the east and west wings of the building has a symmetrical layout, with large studios on the first floor topping the three bedrooms on the second floor that separate the washrooms and toilets, and the open living room connecting the corridors of these bedrooms to the downstairs studios, the large studios on the first floor of the west wing are used as the kitchen and breakfast dining room, and the large bay on the first floor of the east wing is used as a gym and swimming pool, which is also separated from the equipment room of the swimming pool and the changing room with shower. Lin Yilong himself occupies the second floor of the middle building, with toilets, a small living room, a study and cloakroom, and a useless powder room and a bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub.

In addition to the residence, the construction company's contract included the construction of a country house on the north side of the garden where Lin Yilong's parents could spend their old age, two barns for tools and farm machinery, a horse shed converted from an old building, and a helipad.

The layout of the garden in the forest farm settlement was entrusted to a special garden company, whose work was much less and limited to leveling the land, transplanting trees and placing turf.

The whole project is not comparable to the sheer size of the skyscrapers in London or elsewhere, but it is not a small project.

In terms of budget, even with the clearance fee and the application fee for the county council's building permit, the cost of the entire construction project in the forest farm settlement is still much cheaper than the Riverside Street apartment that will be transferred to Lim Yilong's name.

The construction period of the project is as long as four months, and if you add the considerations of acceptance, indoor environmental testing and evaluation, and finalization and filing, even if Lin Yilong wants to move into this house, it is impossible to move in immediately after the completion date. In all likelihood, the move-in will be delayed into the winter rainy season in Wales.

Lin Yilong suddenly felt the need to visit his forest farm, and although he had seen it countless times from the photos and images, he still wanted to experience it up close and personal. Before he bought the forest farm, Lin Yilong had never been there because he didn't have much time.
