796 Defensive Counterattack
âTeacher Lin, if we do this, wonât it be equivalent to going against the television station? Wonât this be disadvantageous to us?â
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, although she wasnât super capable yet, she had grown during this period of time.
It was not bad that she was able to spot these problems early.
âItâs not like weâre going head-on with the TV station. Donât worry, just do as I say.â Lin Yi said.
âAfter you finish writing, just send it out.â
âGot it, Teacher Lin.â
âAlright, go do your thing.â
The two of them walked out of the office. Wang Ran went to the workshop while Lin Yi returned to his car.
He fiddled with his phone and called Zhang Haiyong.
âHello, may I know who you are?â
âGood evening, Manager Zhang. Iâm Lin Yi, the president of Lingyun Group.â
âOh, Boss Lin, hello,â Zhang Haiyong said politely.
âManager Zhang, do you have time now? I want to invite you out for a meal. I have something to talk to you about.â
âWhat a coincidence. Iâm having dinner with a few clients, but I still have five minutes before then. If President Lin wants to see me, we can talk over the phone, but I only have five minutes, so I have to apologize.â
âItâs so boring to talk over the phone. Itâs best to talk face-to-face. Otherwise, some things canât be explained clearly.â
âAiya, then thereâs no other way. Although Iâm in Zhonghai, I really donât have time to go over. I can only miss this appointment.â
âItâs okay. Manager Zhang is having so much fun. You must take care to rest. One might suddenly die if they often stay up late.â
âHehehe, thank you for your concern, President Lin. You too. Donât stay up late every day to write code. You have such a big business under you. If something happens to you, your staff might starve to death.â
âThank you. Iâm still young. I should live a little longer than you.â
Zhang Haiyong did not say anything else and hung up.
In the car, Lin Yi stretched and called Cao Jingqiu.
âPresident Lin.â
Cao Jingqiuâs tone was exceptionally calm, which was beyond Lin Yiâs expectations.
âIâve destroyed Cisco, but you can still talk to me in such a tone. Iâm very gratified.â
âYouâre my investor and a shareholder of our company. Thereâs no need for me to make things difficult for my partner.â Cao Jingqiu said.
âMoreover, Iâve also thoroughly understood the situation between Longxin and Cisco now. I can see these things clearly.â
âI like people like you.â Lin Yi laughed. âWhere are you? I have something to discuss with you.â
âAfter Seven.â
âWhat the hell is this place?â
âA bar. Youâll find it on the navigation app.â
âWait for me there.â
Following Cao Jingqiuâs instruction, Lin Yi found the address of the bar on the app and drove over.
However, before he left, he gave Ji Qingyan a call and told her that he would be back later and to let her know that he was safe.
Half an hour later, Lin Yi arrived at the entrance of After Seven.
It was a little different from what he had imagined. It was not noisy and was rather clean.
When he parked the car and opened the door, he saw Cao Jingqiu sitting in front of the bar, elegantly raising her glass and chatting with a foreigner.
âBrother, make way. Iâve taken a liking to this woman. Donât hunt here anymore,â Lin Yi patted the foreignerâs shoulder.
Cao Jingqiu reeked of alcohol and her eyes were filled with the gentle hint of tipsiness.
âWhat are you saying? I donât understand at all.â The foreignerâs expression was very exaggerated. His face changed, and his acting skills were perfect.
âIt doesnât matter if you donât understand, I can speak English.â Lin Yi said, âPick your jaw off the ground.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSh*t!â
The foreigner looked angry and stood up.
Lin Yi reached out and slashed the foreignerâs neck with a pocket knife.
The latter fell to the ground and fainted.
âIdiot, I canât believe you still wanted to fight me.â
âSir, our After Seven is a bar with a harmonious atmosphere. If you want to treat our guests like this, I hope you will leave,â the bartender at the bar said.
Lin Yi reached into his pocket and took out his Bugatti keys, slapping them on the table.
âSir, please wait a moment. Iâll get someone to carry him away now.â
âLetâs go somewhere else.â
âSure, Iâll follow you.â Cao Jingqiu smiled.
The other men in the bar stared at Lin Yi.
Were people so direct in picking up girls now?
He just had to flash his car keys?
When the two of them arrived at the corner of the bar, Cao Jingqiu indifferently said,
...
âWhat would you like to drink? Itâs on me.â
âIâm driving so I canât drink.â
âYouâre afraid of that?â Cao Jingqiu looked at Lin Yi. âWho would dare to stop you in Zhonghai?â
âWhat are you talking about? Iâm a good citizen.â
âIf you were considered a good citizen, it would mean there are truly no bad people in this world.â Cao Jingqiu ridiculed.
âThe last time you took the initiative to look for me, it was to scam the six pharmaceutical companies. Now that youâre here, who are you trying to scam?â
âJaewon Electric Company.â
âAn electric company?â Cao Jingqiu was surprised. âTreasure Islandâs station electricity?â
âThatâs right, thatâs them.â
â¦
By the time he finished chatting with Cao Jingqiu, it was already past midnight.
...
After leaving, Lin Yi returned to the car and called He Yuanyuan.
âWhat happened?â
He Yuanyuan picked up Lin Yiâs call and said in shock.
âYouâre still awake?â
âNo, thereâs been a lot of work at the company recently. Iâm working on a report.â
âStop bragging. I can hear the voices on the television. You must be watching a drama.â
âF*ck, did you really have to expose the truth? Canât we save some face for each other?â He Yuanyuan complained.
âYou called me in the middle of the night. Did something happen?â
âThe 40 million USD invested by the Mitsui Financial Group will be transferred to Tonghua Electronicsâ account by eight oâclock tomorrow morning. Write a public relations article under Longxinâs name with the main topic surrounding Tonghua Electronics. State that we have received 40 million USD from the Mitsui Financial Group. You can let the people from the public relations department come up with the content yourself and then check it after.â Lin Yi said.
âRight, then donât forget to separate Tonghua Electronics from Longxin Technology, especially with regard to the division of finance and tax.â
âItâs a small matter. Iâll go to the company early tomorrow to deal with it.â
The division of finances and taxes was a very troublesome matter.
However, it was easier to take care of things with the court. With the scale of the Lingyun Group and Lin Yiâs influence in Zhonghai, this could be done with just a phone call.
If any ignorant people tried to stop them, they would be fired the next day.
âAlright, Iâll leave this to you.â
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely complete the mission.â He Yuanyuan said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first. Iâm going to watch a drama.â
âWhat time is it? Staying up late is bad for your health.â
He Yuanyuan chuckled. âThank you, Boss. Iâll be done in ten minutes. Then, Iâll go to bed.â
âIâm not concerned about your health. Iâm just afraid that youâll suddenly die from staying up late and delay my business.â
âDamn!â
