Lin Yi was stunned. It was the first ti he heard the word ’death’ from Liang Xianghe.
His heart skipped a beat.
Although birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of life, it still felt uncomfortable.
"I learned fortune-telling a few years ago. With your face, at least you can live another thirty years, maybe even longer than ."
"Haha..."
Liang Xianghe laughed heartily, very happily.
"Then I appreciate your good words, I’ll try to live a few more years."
After their serious discussion, Lin Yi didn’t rush to leave.
Out of personal feelings, he wanted to stay with Liang Xianghe a little longer.
At noon, Lin Yi personally cooked a few dishes for Liang Xianghe and had a glass of white wine with him, having a long, heartfelt conversation.
At this stage, the biggest dilemma on his side was relying on Liang Xianghe alone to support him.
Although Liang Xianghe’s influence was also significant, it couldn’t compete with the Wang family.
If he were to fall, then in the future, it was very likely to be completely suppressed by the Wang family.
This was sothing both of them worried about.
But things like this were like the rain falling or a mother getting married—not things that human effort could change.
They could only take it one step at a ti.
However, Lin Yi had a bold idea in his mind. Perhaps he could try using an anode statue on Liang Xianghe, and it might work wonders.
Besides that, Liang Xianghe talked about many things from back in the day, and Lin Yi listened attentively.
Among them, he ntioned his own grandfather.
After hearing all these things, many things beca clear to Lin Yi.
His broad-mindedness was due to the Lin family’s genes, not his character.
He was still a good man.
After eating with Liang Xianghe, Lin Yi returned to the Liang family.
He spent another night with Liang Ruoxu before returning to Zhong Hai the next day.
Upon returning to Zhong Hai, Lin Yi went straight ho.
"You’re back!"
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Ji Qingyan welcod him in, "You never inform in advance when you co back."
"That’s what makes it a surprise. It’s no fun to notify in advance."
Upon entering the house, Lin Yi imdiately picked up the child.
After being away for more than twenty days, he found the child had changed a lot and gotten much chubbier.
"If she keeps eating like this, she’ll be a little chubby girl." Lin Yi joked with a smile.
"She’s just temporarily fat now; she’ll slim down later." Ji Qingyan said:
"I can’t let her get fat, the thought of it is terrifying."
When it ca to body managent, Ji Qingyan was very concerned, and she was even more attentive when it ca to her daughter.
After staying at ho for a while, the two of them took the child out for a walk.
That night, Song Minghui cooked a table full of dishes to welco Lin Yi back, and the atmosphere was joyous.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi went to the company and called Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, Tian Yan, and other senior executives to the office.
"How’s the company’s situation been lately?"
"Only the lithography machine and mobile phone system businesses haven’t been affected, the rest have all progressed slowly," Qi Xianzhao said:
"So of the certain deals have been hindered by so sort of force majeure."
Lin Yi understood what the force majeure Qi Xianzhao referred to was.
But at this stage, he had no good solution.
After all, it was because Liang Ruoxu got pregnant that gave people an opportunity; otherwise, the current situation wouldn’t have been caused.
Plus, with the Wang family rising again, the pressure in this area would gradually increase.
For the Lingyun Group, the future survival space would face further squeezing.
"Actually, Lingyun Group’s overall business is still okay. The most affected is the Chaoyang Group. The mall project at the beginning of the year hasn’t progressed as quickly as expected, with incidents happening every now and then—it’s been quite troubleso," He Yuanyuan said.
"Soone still dares to ss with that project?"
Lin Yi could understand other things.
But regarding the Chaoyang Group’s project, it was so widely discussed at the beginning that he thought it could proceed smoothly, but didn’t expect issues to arise.
"A few days ago, a worker had an accident due to improper operation. The group compensated according to regulations, but they didn’t agree and have been dragging it out, delaying the project for more than half a month now," He Yuanyuan said.
"According to regulations, how much should be compensated?"
"Six hundred thousand," He Yuanyuan said:
"But after the accident occurred, the company also gave twenty thousand in dical expenses, but it didn’t help."
"When encountering such matters, don’t be too strict with the rules, increase it to one million. It’s not easy working outside."
"Brother Qi had already offered to raise it to one million, but they disagreed, asking us for twenty million."
"Ah? Twenty million?"
"The family of the deceased claid it was because of our inadequate safety equipnt that led to the death, so they are asking for twenty million. Otherwise, they will pursue the matter to the end," He Yuanyuan said.
"Damn, that’s audacious of them."
"Indeed, it was obviously due to his own improper operation, yet they bite back," He Yuanyuan said:
"I feel like soone might be manipulating them behind the scenes, aiming to waste ti, as this project lacks much profit, and delaying costs money each day."
"Did you negotiate? How’s their attitude?"
"The Chaoyang Group’s relevant leaders have talked to them several tis, but their attitude is very tough. Not a penny less."
"They’re being really tough."
"That’s why I said there’s sothing fishy about this, and they don’t take the initiative to negotiate; they’re just stalling like this."
"Alright, I understand," Lin Yi said:
"There’s another thing I have to tell you. Within the next few days, there will be a significant amount of funds coming in, roughly ten trillion over three years, to facilitate the integration of the upstream and downstream of the chip industry chain. You guys should arrange this properly."
"Ten trillion over three years..."
The three were stunned.
In her heart, He Yuanyuan exclaid: Aweso.
After discussing important matters, Lin Yi left the office and went to Chaoyang Group.
Just as he parked, he heard the sound of clicking high-heels.
Following the sound, Lin Yi unexpectedly saw Wang Ying rushing towards her car, bag in hand.
She wore a blue pencil skirt with yellow flowers and a grey three-quarter-sleeve blouse, carrying an LV bag, looking both stylish and beautiful.
Beep-beep—
Lin Yi honked the horn, scaring Wang Ying.
She turned her head and saw Lin Yi’s car, imdiately breaking into a smile, and quickly walked over, getting in the passenger seat.
"Finally you’re back. Let your sister give you a kiss."
Wang Ying cupped Lin Yi’s face and gave him a big kiss, leaving a bright red lipstick mark.
"Ca back yesterday," Lin Yi said with a smile:
"Where are you headed?"
"Don’t ntion it," Wang Ying said:
"The group had an incident, a worker got into an accident, and it’s been dragging for over half a month without resolution. Director Li asked to give it a try, so here I am, on a mission."
"I heard about this. Let’s go take a look together."
