Wang Yan stood still, not saying a word for a long ti.
A bad premonition welled up inside her.
"Could this person have a very strong personal background?"
"I wouldn’t say personal background, otherwise he wouldn’t be out working," Zhang Tong said:
"But his personal abilities are quite outstanding. Our leader has praised him more than once, and he’s earned First-class rits several tis, all hard-won honors. If he stays, he’d probably be a division-level cadre by now."
"So impressive."
"Indeed, very impressive," Zhang Tong said:
"So I guess, during his work, he’s probably accumulated quite a network of connections, all of which are pretty powerful."
After a pause, Zhang Tong continued:
"Take my advice, if the people on your side weren’t seriously hurt, let this matter go. Even if you pursue it, it won’t end well."
"I understand."
"That’s it then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."
"I’ll see you off."
"No need, no need for formalities."
Zhang Tong walked away.
Wang Yan stood there in confusion.
Lin Yi’s identity indeed surprised her.
But she still couldn’t connect the investor’s withdrawal with him.
In her view, even if Lin Yi had so connections, it couldn’t wield such influence.
Holding her phone tightly.
Wang Yan made up her mind and dialed investor Zhang Lei’s number.
"President Zhang."
"What is it?"
"I wanted to ask, is this related to soone nad Lin Yi?"
"Who are you to dare to call Director Lin by na?"
Hiss—
Wang Yan sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Director Lin?"
"He’s Director Lin to us; to you, he’s Master Lin," Zhang Lei said:
"With just a word from him, not to ntion no one would dare invest in you, even a frown would prompt soone to step up and drive you out of Zhong Hai."
Wang Yan’s heart nearly leapt out of her throat.
She never imagined she’d inadvertently offend such a person.
"President Zhang, we’ve known each other for quite so ti. Could you give a chance and explain this to ? I’m still completely baffled."
"What do you want to know?"
"He’s so formidable, how co he’s working as a salesperson at a 4S store?" Wang Yan probed:
"And he ca to discuss business with ."
"Just trying to experience life," Zhang Lei said:
"I guess he didn’t want to co for talks. If he really cared about sales, the people in his circle could clean out his store easily, but he doesn’t need them."
"I, I understand now. I’ll go apologize right away," Wang Yan pleaded earnestly:
"President Zhang, please give us another chance. I’ll make sure this won’t happen again."
"Don’t talk to about this; whether your company can continue depends on Director Lin’s mood."
"Okay, okay, I understand. I’ll go apologize to Director Lin now."
"You better be careful. If this gets known to everyone, and Director Lin can’t continue, you won’t be able to stay in Zhong Hai either."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
After hanging up the call, Wang Yan’s body shook, sweat streaming cold.
She was scared out of her wits.
...
After an unsuccessful negotiation, Lin Yi and Chen Lin headed towards the company.
But instead of going directly back to the 4S store, they went to a nearby noodle shop for lunch.
After parking the car, Lin Yi looked around and did not see Chen Lin.
"Where did she go?"
Mumbling to himself, Lin Yi was about to call her.
He noticed a ssage from her.
"Don’t ntion being with ."
Seeing the ssage, Lin Yi was confused, not understanding her aning.
"Lin Yi!"
At that mont, soone called him from behind.
Turning around, he saw it was Liu Heceng approaching.
Seeing him, Lin Yi understood why Chen Lin sent him the ssage.
She must have spotted Liu Heceng earlier and decided not to co over.
"President Liu."
Lin Yi greeted him proactively.
"I heard you went to discuss business with President Chen this morning?"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile as a response.
"How did the talks go?"
"They didn’t work out."
"Why?"
"I hit soone, and the talks collapsed."
"Hmm?"
Liu Heceng was shocked, clearly not expecting it.
"You hit soone?"
"Yeah, he was quite arrogant, so I taught them a lesson."
"Uh..."
Liu Heceng was a bit stunned.
In all his years in the field, he had never seen anything like this.
It was quite unexpected.
"I can trust your character. If it reached the point of violence, the other side must have had issues. We can’t just appease them purely for performance."
"President Liu, you’re right."
"Alright, let’s go eat. I’ll head back to the store."
"Alright."
Liu Heceng got into his car, and Lin Yi watched him leave.
anwhile, Chen Lin drove up and parked beside him.
"What did he say to you?"
"He asked about the business."
"What did you say?"
"I told him the truth."
"And him? What did he say?"
"He comforted a bit."
Hmm?
Chen Lin paused with surprise, "He comforted you?"
Lin Yi smiled mysteriously, "Guess why he comforted ?"
Chen Lin smiled too, the reason already understood between them.
"This was a business eting with you. If it were him, an incident like this would have him scolding thoroughly."
"I get it. That’s when I’d have to comfort you," Chen Lin said with a smile.
After a brief chat, the two entered the noodle shop, ordered two bowls of noodles, two side dishes, and two drinks.
"Did anyone call you on the way back?"
"Call ?"
Lin Yi looked at Chen Lin, "Who would call ?"
"Police."
"Nope," Lin Yi said:
"No need to worry about this, no one would dare arrest ."
Rolling her eyes at Lin Yi, "Don’t be so arrogant, keep a low profile."
"It’s not being arrogant, it’s him being arrogant. You’ve broken up, yet he’s still acting superior to you."
"That’s his freedom, after all, he represents the client," Chen Lin said:
"That’s how clients have always been."
"No problem, your stereotype will soon change."
"Hmm? Change?"
"You’ll know soon enough."
Lin Yi didn’t say anything further, focusing on eating his noodles.
The taste was indeed good.
After the al, Chen Lin paid the bill, and they drove back to the store.
But just at the entrance, they saw Wu Xue i walking out from next door.
"Back from the business talks? I wonder how your talks went," Wu Xue i said sarcastically.
"Thanks to you, the talks went well, we’re about to sign the contract."
Wu Xue i was taken aback, not expecting Lin Yi to say that.
"You really brag so boldly," Wu Xue i said:
"Our cars are better than yours, and our connections are closer. How would you compete with us?"
