"Even if I’m the middleman, I don’t know them, you guys can go, I’ll wait for you outside."
Lin Yi found an excuse and refused:
"Besides, I’m just a driver, it’s not appropriate for to attend such occasions, you guys just go."
"Alright then."
In fact, Chen Yuying wanted Lin Yi to go with her.
In her heart, if Lin Yi went, she would feel more secure.
But she couldn’t express those words.
After discussing the follow-up matters, Lin Yi left the office.
He stayed in the eting room for a while, then took Chen Yuying and Xu Kai to the Furong Pavilion.
After dropping them off, Lin Yi returned to the company, took Chen Yutong, who was studying, ho, and then went back to Furong Pavilion.
With this trip back and forth, he ran several more dozens of kiloters, bringing him one step closer to completing the task.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yi rested his hands behind his head and checked the task progress.
478/1500.
Taking Chen Yuying again at night and reaching 500 kiloters should be no problem.
If he keeps this up every day, he should be able to complete the task in about a week.
The dinner didn’t last long, and it was over by about eight o’clock in the evening.
Lin Yi sat in the car, watching the three co out, but didn’t get out of the car.
The marketing manager saw Lin Yi sitting in the car and suddenly froze, feeling so nervous and at a loss.
Lin Yi smiled faintly in response, and the latter relaxed.
After exchanging so polite words, Chen Yuying and Xu Kai got into the car.
"I feel like today’s dinner party was like a dream." Chen Yuying said with imnse emotion, "I never thought that things about the cooperation would go so smoothly?"
"Did you secure the deal?" Lin Yi asked knowingly.
"I wouldn’t say we secured it, but we’ve reached a preliminary cooperation. They’ve given us so of the business first, and if there are no issues, they’ll outsource more of the other businesses to us. This is already a great opportunity. As long as we do well, it won’t be a problem."
Chen Yuying was very excited, talking non-stop in the car.
"I was worried that after establishing the new transit center, there might be a lack of supply. Now with the order from Lingyun Group, there’s no worry about that."
"Indeed, it provides more security."
"President Chen, now it seems establishing a new transit center is imperative."
"I know that."
"But I’m afraid Ma Wenbo won’t budge, which would put us in a passive position. We might even face goods backlog issues, which would affect operational efficiency and transportation tiliness."
"I’ve thought about this issue too, but for now, we can only wait," Chen Yuying said.
"But if there’s still no result after a while, do we just keep waiting? That many goods won’t wait for us," Xu Kai said:
"I think a price of 20.5 million isn’t expensive. It’s unrealistic to think we can secure it for 13 million."
Chen Yuying didn’t respond; this was the part she was unsure about.
The price of 15 million was already very low for her. Dropping another 2 million for no reason, she wasn’t confident Ma Wenbo would agree to her terms.
It’s like Xu Kai said: If they don’t resolve the transit center issue quickly, they might be under significant transit pressure when they receive the goods from the Lingyun Group.
Ring ring ring—
At that mont, Chen Yuying’s phone rang.
"It’s Ma Wenbo calling!"
Lin Yi’s lips curled into a smile, "Stay calm, take the call first. If he’s discussing the price with you, hold firm at 13 million, not a cent more."
"Okay."
After calming herself, Chen Yuying answered the phone.
"President Ma."
"President Chen, have you considered the price matter?"
"I’ve reviewed the company’s finances again, and 13 million is the highest price we can offer. I’m also in a difficult position and don’t know what else to do."
"This..."
Ma Wenbo paused to think, "How about this, you add another 2 million, and you can have it for 15 million."
Upon hearing the price of 15 million, Chen Yuying felt excited.
She didn’t expect to get her desired price so quickly.
But Lin Yi had ntioned not to give a penny more, and given the current situation, perhaps there’s really an opportunity.
"President Ma, you’re really putting in a tough spot. The 13 million is what we scraped together, and I don’t know where to find the extra 2 million."
"If 15 million is out of reach, there’s nothing more to discuss."
"It’s unfortunate for such a good place."
"Let’s talk another ti; you should think it over, and I’ll talk to others."
"Alright."
After speaking, Chen Yuying hung up and looked excitedly at Lin Yi.
"You were right; he proposed a price of 15 million!"
"He really agreed?!"
Xu Kai was so surprised he was at a loss for words, feeling a bit embarrassed as well.
"That’s what he said."
"This..."
Sitting in the car, Xu Kai didn’t say anything.
For a mont, he didn’t know what to say, and his face burned with embarrassnt.
"Didn’t he agree to the 13 million?"
"No, he said he was going to talk to others."
Lin Yi chuckled, "If he could find soone else, he wouldn’t have called you. Just let it be; though urgent, it’s not sothing that needs to be rushed imdiately."
"I feel that getting it for 13 million shouldn’t be an issue," Chen Yuying said:
"We can start talking to the bank about loans now."
"Just borrowing 10 million isn’t much, the paperwork shouldn’t be too cumberso, and there shouldn’t be major issues."
"Yes, as long as Ma Wenbo decides to sell the land, everything else will fall into place."
Lin Yi nodded, saying nothing further.
After dropping off Chen Yuying, Lin Yi didn’t return ho but went to Li Chuhan’s place.
He bought so snacks to go with drinks, and the two of them had a slight drink together.
In the gentle, tipsy state, they again experienced a mont of life’s harmony.
As for when they could have a child, that would be up to fate.
Early the next morning, Li Chuhan was cooking in the kitchen while Lin Yi was washing up in the bathroom.
Just after washing his face, he received a call from Mo Hongshan.
"The person who stole your lab’s docunts has been caught. After getting the money, they fled to the Middle East, where our people apprehended them."
"When can they be sent back?"
"They’re already on the plane, should arrive at the security zone by around noon. You can co if you have ti."
"Alright, thanks, Brother Shan. Let’s have a drink at noon."
"Then I’ll prepare so dishes for you," Mo Hongshan said with a smile.
"I’ll bring the wine, haha."
"It’s a deal then."
After finishing washing up and breakfast, they drove separately to work.
After picking up the Chen sisters for work and school, Lin Yi drove to the security zone around noon.
Mo Hongshan was waiting for him at the entrance.
"You’re right on ti; as soon as they were brought over, you arrived."
Lin Yi smiled and opened the trunk, unmarked.
"No rush, let’s eat first, I brought so good wine today."
