“Alright, I’ll help you relay the message.”

“After work, you can go straight back to Jiuzhou Pavilion. You don’t have to pick me up.”

“Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t take the initiative to go if you weren’t invited?”

“It doesn’t count this time. Yuanyuan insisted on coming. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to join.”

“Alright.” Lin Yi said with a smile. Although she was on the other end of the line, he could already imagine Ji Qingyan’s proud expression.

After a simple chat, Lin Yi hung up.

He also guessed why He Yuanyuan wanted to come over for dinner.

This should be about the Hope School and road construction.

Just as Lin Yi was packing up and preparing to leave, he saw Li Chuhan walk in.

“Director, if I remember correctly, your family is in Beiqiao Town, right?”

“Yes.” Li Chuhan nodded in response.

“When are you heading back to visit?”

“Next Wednesday.”

Lin Yi thought about it. There were still five days left. He made an OK gesture. “I’ll arrange the rest.”

“Thank you.”

After greeting the department, Lin Yi drove back to the Jiuzhou Pavilion.

When he got back, he found that the ingredients were already laid out, and they were eating in the courtyard.

“Boss, you’re finally back. Hurry up, I’m hungry,” He Yuanyuan said.

“You’re waiting for me to eat?”

“Senior Sister won’t let me eat until you arrived.”

“It’s impolite,” corrected Ji Qingyan.

“Those are all excuses. Look, the two of you are even wearing matching pants. I’m not so gullible.”

“Alright, Lin Yi is back. Let’s eat.” Ji Qingyan interrupted He Yuanyuan, too embarrassed to let her continue.

“Yes, let’s eat first. After that, I’ll go for a swim in the pool.”

“Your senior sister’s D cups can enjoy themselves for a couple of laps, but you’re a B-. Why are you going down to join in the fun?” Lin Yi said, “Other than me, anyone below D cup going into the water is an insult to my pool.”

“Senior sister…”

“Eh…”

“Why do you look like that?” He Yuanyuan glared at her.

“Your senior sister is acting cute. This is pleasing to the eye. You acting cute makes my soul want to leave my body,” Lin Yi said, “Don’t go into the pool, go swim in the bathtub upstairs.”

“I want to go down and swim! No one can stop me from doing so!”

“Alright, alright. You two eat well.”

Ji Qingyan was puzzled. One was the company’s CEO, and the other was a CFO. The two of them were arguing so much, yet they could still work in the same company.

This showed how abnormal these two people were.

Under Ji Qingyan’s intervention, neither of them said anything else.

After eating and replenishing his energy, he continued.

“Didn’t you want to build a road in Beiqiao Town? The cost breakdown has already been completed,” said Ji Qingyan.

“Already?”

“Of course.” Ji Qingyan raised her head. “My productivity isn’t just for show.”

“According to the information Yuanyuan gave me, the road into the town is about 3.2 kilometers away. If the raw materials are bought locally, we can reduce cost. The four-meter-wide cement road measures about 800 meters.”

Lin Yi did some calculations. “That will be about 2.56 million.”

Ji Qingyan nodded. “This is done according to the village’s guidelines. Cement will do. Otherwise, the cost of a tar road will be even higher. However, this pales in comparison to the river which is more than 30 meters wide. If you want to build a bridge across it, it has to be at least 50 meters long. According to the four-meter width, the total construction area will be about 200 square meters, and the cost is about 50,000 yuan per square meter. The total price is about 10 million yuan. If you add in the road that needs to be built, 13 million yuan will do the trick. If you also build the Hope School, the total cost will be at least 15 million yuan.”

He Yuanyuan straightened her expression. “Boss, 15 million is not a small sum. Do you really plan to go through with this?”

“Of course.” Lin Yi said, “Although it’s not a small amount, I can still get about five million yuan in subsidies. I can put in the other ten million myself.”

Ji Qingyan also knew about the government subsidy, so she was not surprised.

“If that’s the case, it’ll be equivalent to a reduction of one-third of the cost. This will make it more feasible.”

Ji Qingyan picked up a piece of vegetable from the hotpot and dipped it into the oil. “When do you plan to do this?”

“The project in the suburbs is being developed. Can you spare some people to do this?”

“It’s just a small project. It won’t take too many people. It won’t delay anything.”

“Then make preparations for the near future. We still have to discuss the rest of the details with Beiqiao Town, but it will only take a few days. It won’t be long.”

“Yes, yes. Coincidentally, there are still some preparations to make in the early stages. There’s no hurry.”

Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan did not eat much. After eating for half an hour, they put down their chopsticks and returned to their room to change into swimsuits, preparing to take a dip in the swimming pool.

Although He Yuanyuan’s swimsuit was a little bolder, Lin Yi had no interest in her at all when she was next to Ji Qingyan’s voluptuous figure. He did not even look at her the entire time.

In accordance with their previous arrangement, Ji Qingyan would stay here whenever she came to the Jiuzhou Pavilion.

However, with He Yuanyuan around today, she was too embarrassed to do so. The two of them drove away together.

Lin Yi didn’t say anything. There were a lot of things on his plate, and he needed some time to sort them out.

Especially regarding the four-nanometer light source, he had to think of a solution for this as soon as possible.

…

That night, Cisco’s office building was brightly lit.

Wearing a black pair of wide-legged pants, Cao Jingqiu appeared in Cao Jiadong’s office.

“Daughter, are you sure this news is correct?” Cao Jiadong stood up excitedly. “Is Longxin really going to announce the Chip 1.0 technology?”

Nodding her head, Cao Jingqiu replied, “Two of their staff came to our company today, wanting Fenglan Culture to publicize their new product launch. I can guarantee it.”

“That’s great.” Cao Jiadong was so excited that he was incoherent.

“Although we were the first to develop the Chip 1.0 technology, Longxin is still an enemy that can’t be underestimated. However, the moment the press conference starts, we can use our patent to move swiftly and completely crush them!”

“What happens next has nothing to do with me.” Cao Jingqiu walked out of the door with her handbag.

Ever since Cao Jiadong told Cao Jingqiu to stay out of Cisco’s matters, she had decided not to care about this matter anymore.

However, today, Longxin’s people had sought her out. She still couldn’t help it. No matter what, blood was thicker than water.

Some things could not be cut off.

“Have a seat before you leave. I haven’t seen you for a long time,” Cao Jiadong said.

“It doesn’t matter if you have seen me or not. You should focus on the matter at hand.”

After saying that, Cao Jingqiu pushed the door open and left.

After doing what she had to do, there was no need for her to strick around.

After Cao Jingqiu left, Cao Jiadong picked up the phone on the table and called his secretary.

“Inform the company’s executives that we are going to hold a meeting!”
