âIf you dare to hurt my daughter, I wonât let you off!â
âF*ck! You still have the cheek to threaten me? Can you be more shameless?â
Lin Yi translated the Huaxian saying into English accurately, making Andy Groveâs head spin.
âOr do you think Iâm a good-tempered person? Do you think Iâd let you shoot me and let it go?â Lin Yi said.
âIâll leave with these words today. You can inform your daughter to leave Zhonghai, but if she dares to step into the airport, I guarantee that she wonât be able to get on the plane. Try it if you donât believe me.â
With that, Lin Yi hung up.
As the saying went, when experts sparred, they would stop when the situation was ideal.
For Lin Yi, this was all he needed to say. He would let his opponent choose what to do next.
Not long after he hung up, Qi Xianzhao walked in.
âPresident Lin, Intel and AMD have contacted us. They want to discuss the Chip 3.0 deal with us.â
âWhoâs in charge of negotiating with these two companies?â
âAt first, they said that they would send the vice president over, but Intel just called and said that their president, Andy Grove, would be coming to Zhonghai soon. They said that they want to talk to you personally about this matter.â
âAlright, Iâll personally meet Andy Grove. You, Yuanyuan, and Tian Yan can talk to AMD.â
Lin Yiâs arrangements were very reasonable and in line with their usual business process.
The other party had sent a vice president, and he had also sent someone with the same position to receive them. Moreover, there were three of them. He had given them enough face.
However, Qi Xianzhao didnât know anything else and thought that Lin Yi was just handling it from a business perspective.
âPresident Lin, we have to confirm the brand name of the phone as soon as possible. Weâve discussed a few proposals in a meeting. Take a look when you have time.â
âAlright, leave it there.â
Putting down the documents in his hand, Qi Xianzhao turned around and walked out of the office.
There were more than ten names on the document, and the corresponding logos were also prepared.
A few of them did look pretty good, but some others were very low-quality.
These lowly names were more befitting of something like He Yuanyuan.
After a quick glance, Lin Yi placed it aside. He reckoned that Ji Qingyan would be very interested in these naming conversations.
Later that night, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group to pick Ji Qingyan up from work.
âThe new phone is going into the market. The name hasnât been decided yet. Help me think about it.â
Just as Lin Yi had expected, Ji Qingyan was very interested in naming it.
âYes, Iâm a bad student. This kind of thing has to be done by our highly educated Mrs. Lin.â
âYouâre right to have such thoughts.â Ji Qingyan nodded with a grin. Then, she thought for a few seconds and said, âHow about May?â
âHuh? May? Why that?â
âBecause the two of us met in May. I think itâs quite memorable.â
âThen Iâll listen to you. Itâll be called May.â
âAiya, you canât listen to me so blindly. Tell me your opinion too. Perhaps youâll come up with a better name than me.â
âHeheheâ¦â Lin Yi thought for a moment, âMy idea is to name it after the biggest highlight of this phone, so my idea was to call it 911.â
â911?â Ji Qingyan furrowed her brows and thought for a moment. âIsnât it a little too casual to use numbers to name a phone? I remember there was an app that had this name in the past.â
âThat software is all in the past. Itâs not related to our phone at all.â
âBut the biggest highlight of this phone is its cost-effectiveness. What does it have to do with 911?â
âUh⦠what you said does make sense.â Lin Yi thought about it again, âHow about Xiaocaoâs phone? Xiaocao is so lively, so itâll also mean that our brand will thrive.â
âBut I still donât think itâs as good as the May that I suggested.â
âUh⦠Letâs call it May then.â
âYes, yes. The names you come up with donât sound good. Just do as I say.ââ Ji Qingyanâs actions perfectly demonstrated the democratic nature of a Huaxian girlfriend.
You can say whatever you want, but in the end, theyâll find a reason to reject you.
After coming up with the name, the two of them sat on the sofa and watched television.
âI recall that the Lunar New Year is coming in a few days. Do you have any plans?â
âI donât have any plans,â Lin Yi said casually.
âIâve already bought all the new clothes. Iâll go back a few days in advance and buy some firecrackers for them. I think thatâs how Iâll spend the new year.â
âBut this is our first New Year together. Do you feel different?â
Facing such a sensitive interrogation, Lin Yi did not falter.
âOf course, because God sent you, who is different from the rest, to me. Forget this new year, from the first day I met you, my world has become richer and more colorful.â
âTsk, youâre lying,â said Ji Qingyan. âThe first time we met, we were in the underground parking lot. You were even lukewarm toward me.â This answer was within Lin Yiâs expectations.
When facing his girlfriendâs deep interrogation, if he kept praising her, it would seem fake and insincere.
Therefore, at this time, he had to counterattack appropriately.
In this confrontation, oneâs aura was the most important factor.
âWrong, and itâs a huge mistake! Youâre really disappointing!â
Ji Qingyan was confused. âWhatâs wrong?â
...
âThe first time we met was in the lobby on the first floor of the company. It was my first day at work. I was reporting to the HR department with my resume when I saw you walking out of the elevator in high heels and a beige windbreaker. At that time, I was mesmerized by you, so during the interview, I tried my best. Even when I was humiliated by HR, I was not discouraged. In the end, I became a member of the Chaoyang Group just to be closer to you. Itâs really sad that you donât even remember this.â
Ji Qingyan felt a little guilty at Lin Yiâs words.
âIs that really the case? Why donât I have any impression of it?â
Lin Yi, âItâs good that you donât remember. âBecause I made it all up.â âBecause you didnât take me seriously at that time.â Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, âMy heart was set on the moon, but the moon shone only shone on the ditch.â
âNot at all. Maybe I was too busy to notice you.â
âThatâs not true. You even glanced at me and ignored me. You turned around and left after that.â
âReally?â
Ji Qingyan was also a little puzzled. Lin Yi was so good-looking that even if she didnât have any feelings for him back then, she would have taken a second look at him. How could she just turn around and leave? âWhat do you mean? You just want to absolve yourself of your crimes!â
âAlright, alright, alright. I know I was wrong. Mr. Lin, can you forgive me this once? Muaâ¦â
