On the other side, he saw that the people had been taken away.
Wang Changkun walked over and asked quietly:
"Can they really be detained for 15 days? They won’t be released tomorrow, right?"
"No, don’t worry, just do your work."
"Alright, alright."
After giving a brief instruction, Lin Yi and Chen Lin stood aside.
"Where are we at now?" Lin Yi casually asked:
"The design institute over there has already started, but it might take a week for the drawings to co out. Right now, we’re just cleaning up the surrounding area."
Lin Yi pointed at the supermarket in front of him, "Can this place still stay?"
"I heard it’s being kept for maintenance. It would be a pity to tear it down."
Lin Yi nodded, "Let’s go back."
"Let’s not go back yet. Let’s find a place to eat, and in the afternoon, take to the Zone Office."
"What’s the matter?"
"The leaders from the European headquarters will be coming here in a few days to talk about the cooperation with Lingyun Group. All the managers from the dealerships must attend the eting."
"They’re coming so soon?"
"I heard it’s quite important." Chen Lin said:
"I heard from Director Wang that the overseas headquarters has already cut the entire software departnt, so Lingyun Group is now their only lifeline in the world."
While speaking, the two got in the car. Chen Lin looked at Lin Yi:
"If you’re interested, I can take you there."
"On second thought, I’d rather go back to the store for a nap."
"Talking about going back to the store for a nap right in front of , you really don’t give any face at all."
"Isn’t it because we’re on good terms?"
The two drove to a decent-looking noodle shop.
Chen Lin treated him to a al, and after eating, she was taken to the Zhonghai District office.
It’s not far from Chaoyang Group, but it doesn’t have its own office building, only four floors.
All managent and sales matters concerning Zhonghai’s 4S stores are handled here.
After driving to the place, Chen Lin got out of the car.
But as soon as she got out, soone ca to greet Lin Yi.
The person was wearing a blue suit, with a white shirt inside, the buttons were undone, looking a bit casual.
His na is Wu Jinrong, the deputy director of the Zhonghai District.
"President Wu."
Wu Jinrong nodded, pointing to Lin Yi in the car:
"He’s Lin Yi, right? I glimpsed him once at your store before but didn’t get to speak to him."
"Yes, he is Lin Yi."
Chen Lin gestured, indicating for Lin Yi to get out of the car.
Left with no choice, Lin Yi got out of the car.
"This is President Wu, ntioned to you on the way here."
Lin Yi glanced at Chen Lin, quicker on her feet than he had imagined.
After all, she hadn’t ntioned the district matter on the way.
"Hello, President Wu," Lin Yi extended his hand and shook hands with Wu Jinrong.
"Now you’re quite the standout in the Zhonghai District, and even Jing City headquarters has been talking about you." Wu Jinrong said with a smile:
"How about I transfer you here?"
"President Wu, don’t do this to . It’s hard to recruit soone good here; as a high-ranking leader, you should give us a chance, don’t you think?"
"Okay, okay, I’ll leave him with you."
Wu Jinrong chuckled and said, "Since he’s here, let’s have him join the eting too."
"Sure."
Chen Lin agreed readily, as there was no reason to refuse after that.
Lin Yi had no choice but to smile and express his thanks.
Upon entering the building, the three took the elevator to the 16th floor.
Wu Jinrong pointed to the conference room not far away.
"Everyone’s waiting inside, you all should head over."
"Alright."
After bidding farewell, Chen Lin led Lin Yi towards the conference room.
"Let’s have the eting here, and once it’s over, you can go straight ho." Chen Lin said:
"But rember, no falling asleep during the eting."
"Don’t worry, I know to mind my manners."
The two of them entered the conference room.
Inside, about a dozen people were seated, each dressed formally in suits and ties.
Although the two of them walked in together, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Lin Yi.
"President Chen, this is a managers’ eting, why did you bring a salesperson? Even if you’re close, you can’t do that."
The speaker was a woman sitting by the window side, with short hair and light makeup on her face.
Her tone carried a touch of sarcasm.
And this woman was Xu Fang, who previously competed with Lin Yi for the A7 test drive qualification.
"President Wu invited him. If Chairman Xu has an issue, you can take it up with President Wu."
Chen Lin replied indifferently, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"Seems like this woman still isn’t giving up," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"They also participated in the country-wide car promotion, but in a different place, and their sales weren’t as good as ours." Chen Lin said:
"And about the expansion, their store was also planning to expand, but lately, our sales have always been first, so Jing City headquarters let us expand, which sort of took their resources. Seeing us now, of course, would irritate her."
"Does their store still need expansion?"
"If there’s sothing better, who wouldn’t want it?" Chen Lin said:
"Once expanded, it would beco Zhonghai’s largest 4S store, the recognition would increase, and the monthly turnover would skyrocket. The profits from this, imagine that."
"But the problem is, other stores need this kind of opportunity more urgently. If she submits the needs, it would get rejected imdiately. She should know this, right?"
Chen Lin leaned slightly and whispered in Lin Yi’s ear.
"She has so connections in the district office; that’s all I’ll say."
"Is it Boss Zhou?"
"Smart."
"He’s the top leader in the Zhonghai District. If she really leans on him, it indeed counts as a significant connection."
"Without this relationship, she couldn’t be so bold and ask for whatever."
"I love these theatrical face-slapping scenarios."
Lin Yi placed his hands behind his head, laughingly looking at Xu Fang.
"I wonder what other tricks she has up her sleeve later."
On the other side, Xu Fang also looked over at them, expressionless but seemingly reluctant.
The other 4S store heads were also observing with a bystander ntality.
The competition between their two stores was the fiercest, naturally leading to conflicts of interest.
Now it depended on how the Zhonghai District office would handle it.
Just then, the door opened.
Wu Jinrong and a bald man walked in.
The man’s na was Zhou Zhixue, the top leader of the Zhonghai District.
After entering, the two took their seats, and Zhou Zhixue said:
"Today’s eting is primarily to discuss the future sales direction. In about a week, the first batch of electric cars will arrive at the store. The model is A6, and by then everyone should familiarize themselves with it and present it as much as possible to the custors."
This news was undoubtedly explosive, and everyone present was shocked, not expecting the layout to happen so soon.
"In addition to this, there’s another important matter concerning the expansion of the 4S store on East River Road."
Lin Yi and Chen Lin exchanged a glance, not expecting this topic to arise.
