774 Competing With Lin Yi?
âNo problem. Iâm more than happy to help.â
Lin Yi went to Liang Ruoxuâs kitchen and prepared all the ingredients he needed.
Liang Ruoxu sat on the chair at the dining table, quietly watching Lin Yi work in the kitchen.
If she had met him earlier, the person living with him would have been her, right?
At the thought of this, Liang Ruoxuâs face turned slightly red, and her heart raced.
Why did she suddenly think of these things?
Ten minutes later, Lin Yi brought over a steaming plate of egg-fried rice.
âWhy is there only one plate? Arenât you going to eat?â
âI ate at home this morning.â
âOh, ohâ¦â Liang Ruoxu nodded. Just as she was about to take her first bite, she suddenly stopped. âDid she make it?â
âWhatâs the fuss?â
âFirst, tell me who made your food.â
âShe got up to make it,â Lin Yi said honestly.
âOhâ¦â
Liang Ruoxu quietly ate her meal and muttered to herself,
âActually, I cook quite well.â
âWhat are you mumbling about?â
âI didnât say anything,â Liang Ruoxu explained in a panic. Then, she took a few bites to hide her guilt.
After eating, Liang Ruoxu washed up and went out with Lin Yi. They went their own ways from there.
After leaving Liang Ruoxuâs house, Lin Yi returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion to prepare for the subsequent work.
Two days later, Lin Yi received a call from Liang Ruoxu. All the procedures had been settled.
The call notified Lin Yi that if he wanted to do anything, he could start now.
After talking to Liang Ruoxu, Lin Yi brought the people he had prepared beforehand to the industrial park.
There were more than thirty crew members and more than ten excavators and lorries. It was a grand sight.
âPresident Lin, what are we going to do?â
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his fifties. His temples were gray and he looked very kind.
The manâs name was Sun Baoguo, and he was an engineer from Chaoyang Group. More than 80% of the buildings in Chaoyang Group were built by him.
âEngineer Sun, get someone to dig up Feihong Road, Innovation Road, and Flying Road, but you donât have to dig too deep. Just make it impassable for cars.â
âYou want to dig up all three roads?â
âRight.â
Sun Baoguo looked around. âIf we dig them up together, these factories in the East District wonât be able to operate.â
âYes, thatâs the effect I want.â
âIf thatâs the case, it will definitely cause a dispute. These factories will definitely sue us.â
âLet them sue all they want. Iâll take care of it. Just do as I say.â
âThen should we start digging?â Sun Baoguo probed.
âThatâs right. Donât worry and do it boldly. If anyone looks for you, just say my name.â
âGot it, President Lin.â
After arranging the details, Lin Yi drove away.
All that was left was to wait for them to call him.
As expected, before Lin Yi could even reach Jiuzhou Pavilion, he received a call from New Asia Technologies.
The person who called was their boss, Wang Yaxin.
Lin Yi had called him yesterday.
âPresident Lin, are you busy?â
âI had nothing to do, so I went overseas to relax,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âPresident Lin, youâre really good at joking. My people saw you coming to the park just now. Why did you leave the country the moment you turned around?â
âThat was just now. This is now. What is there to discuss?â
âMr. Lin is right,â Wang Yaxin said.
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first. Youâre on vacation too, so I donât want to affect your mood.â
âNo, no, no. Donât hang up, President Lin,â Wang Yaxin said.
âI heard from the people below me that you dug up the road around the industrial park. Whatâs going on?â
âDonât mention it. The companyâs profits arenât good, so I took on some extra work. Iâm going to renovate the roads near the industrial park and turn the cement roads into asphalt roads before beautifying them. After all, this industrial park is an extension of Zhonghaiâs image. It canât be too shabby.â
âAiyo, President Lin, youâre really good at joking. You have a big business, yet you do construction projects?â
âSigh, I used to be a hot-blooded young man with ambitions that flew in all directions, but my edges have been smoothed by life. I have no choice but to do this to maintain my livelihood.â
âBut if you dig up the road, thereâll be no way to get the vans in and out of our factory.â
...
âI had no choice. I called you yesterday to discuss this matter and wanted to leave a path for you. However, all of you were busy and couldnât find the time. Thus, I could only make the decision myself.â
âYou can make the decision, but you canât delay our business. The materials outside canât get in, and the goods produced inside canât be sent out. What youâre digging isnât just a road, but a way to cut off our income.â
âPresident Wang, thatâs a serious accusation,â Lin Yi said.
âI thought that you guys were resourceful and could find your own way out, so I didnât think too much about it. As for the road, I wonât be able to do anything about it now. You guys can just wait until then to sell your goods .â
âWe canât wait at all. The distributors downstream are still waiting for our goods.â
âThatâs none of my business. Iâll do my job and you guys will do yours. Neither of us will get in the way of the other. Besides, I wanted to discuss it with you guys beforehand, but you guys didnât have any thoughts about this. You canât blame me for that.â
âPresident Lin, youâre bullying us,â Wang Yaxin said.
âLetâs arrange a time to meet. What do you think? Didnât you say yesterday that you wanted to treat me to a meal? Why donât we meet today?â
âArenât you on a business trip overseas and wonât be able to come back for two to three months? Thereâs no need to come back over such a small matter. Isnât it just regarding some goods? Boss Wang, youâre rich and overbearing. This is nothing.â
Lin Yiâs words infuriated Wang Yaxin.
âIf thatâs the case, Iâll call the police.â
...
âThen call the police. Youâre always welcome.â
With that, Lin Yi hung up, not giving Wang Yaxin a chance to speak.
Not long after, Lin Yiâs phone rang again. It was Sun Yongming from Huike Electronics.
âDirector Sun, you were looking for me.â
In comparison, Sun Yongmingâs attitude was much more direct. He didnât say so many polite words.
âPresident Lin, why did you ask someone to dig up the road? Our cars canât even move anymore.â
âItâs a municipal project. They say theyâre going to renovate the road so I dug it up first. Is there a problem with that?â
âItâs not a problem for you to renovate the road, but you dug up all the roads required to enter the area. You didnât leave any way in or out for us. How will our trucks travel now?â
âActually, I wanted to discuss this with you yesterday, but Boss Sun didnât have the time, so I made the decision on my own. Therefore, I can only apologize. You guys can wait for a while longer and deliver the goods after the renovation project is completed.â
