Chapter 3425: Chapter 3417: Not That Kind of Relationship
"What’s wrong with my legs! Make it clear! How are they any worse than hers!"
As he spoke, Xu Chen even stretched out his legs.
"Our President Chen wore black stockings."
Xu Chen looked down and realized it was indeed the case.
"You’re so sneaky, actually wearing black stockings."
Chen Lin felt like she couldn’t complain even though she was swallowing bitter medicine.
"It’s mainly because last night, I bumped my leg on the coffee table, got a bruise, so I wore them today."
"No need to explain, I’ve already seen through you."
Chen Lin rolled her eyes helplessly, decided not to explain further, and changed the topic.
"Earlier, you mentioned that the overseas headquarters wants to collaborate with the Lingyun Group. Are you staying in Zhong Hai or going back to headquarters during this period?"
"Going back to headquarters," Xu Chen said:
"For something of this level, I’m just there for decoration. When the formal negotiations or signing happens, I’ll probably come over."
"Will there be competition in this area too?"
"Inevitably," Xu Chen said:
"Domestic electric cars started relatively early, and these years have passed the painful period. The things Lingyun Group has produced have been validated by the market. Looking globally, they’re in the top tier. Those well-known car companies worldwide, unless they still cling to fuel cars, they can’t avoid facing the Lingyun Group. The competition is about to start."
"I remember this Lingyun Group was only established a few years ago. When I entered the industry, there wasn’t even this company."
"That’s why the founder behind it is very impressive," Xu Chen said:
"It feels like they’ve already reached the peak."
"What peak?"
"Intelligence, capability, strong connections, you need all of them."
"That’s a fully upgraded human."
"Yes, that’s roughly what it means," Xu Chen said:
"You could say every step is on the pulse of the times. It’s strange if such a person doesn’t get rich."
Lin Yi smacked his lips, not expecting the outside world to have such a high opinion of him.
"But this person seems quite mysterious?"
"Indeed mysterious, you can’t find any information online, but it’s none of our business," Xu Chen said:
"Expansion is imminent, and your identity and status, as well as your voice, will rise with this store. If you do well, it’s a stepping stone. If not, it’ll be embarrassing."
"I’ve thought of that."
Xu Chen glanced at Lin Yi, "With his help, it should be about right."
"But the problem is, he’s just willing to be a salesperson. He doesn’t accept the promotion to deputy manager."
"I’m quite curious about that," Xu Chen looked at Lin Yi, "Why not take the promotion?"
"What’s the point of a promotion?"
"Promotion and a pay raise, leading to a higher quality of life."
"What if I don’t lack money?"
"Don’t lack money?"
This stumped Xu Chen, unsure how to respond.
Chen Lin raised her head, "Third Brother said, the modification fee for his car is over a million, much richer than us."
"That old Shari over a million?"
"Can you tell?"
"Indeed, I knew it was modified but didn’t know it was so expensive."
"So, he’s just working here for fun, making money is secondary, making friends."
"But aren’t you two quite innocent now? He hasn’t made any friends."
"Ahem, ahem..."
Lin Yi coughed lightly, "Not that kind of making friends."
"You women of a certain age really dare to say anything."
"Hey, it’s normal in modern society."
After finishing the work conversation, the three entered a casual chat state.
Most of the time, it was the two women talking, with Lin Yi as the observer, his thoughts drifting far away.
After the meal, the three returned to the store.
The two women went to the office, while Lin Yi went to take care of sales matters.
In the following days, Lin Yi’s life went smoothly.
The land was rented, and the subsequent work was also proceeding smoothly.
"Requesting a leave."
Lin Yi went to Chen Lin’s office and said.
"For how many days?"
"Not many this time, three or four days should be enough."
Chen Lin gave Lin Yi a sidelong glance, "Others ask for a day’s leave from me with great caution, and you act like it’s nothing."
"I know President Chen won’t refuse."
"No permission, just two days!"
"Okay, thank you, President Chen."
Chen Lin sighed helplessly.
She didn’t believe Lin Yi’s words. In the end, it was just informing her, and when he would return depended on his mood.
Upon leaving Chen Lin’s office, Lin Yi found a message in Group 1’s chat and inquired about their status.
The people from Group 1 had all arrived in Jing City and were waiting for the meeting.
Returning home, Lin Yi found Ji Qingyan preparing two large suitcases, beads of sweat on her forehead, with a few messy strands of hair sticking to it.
"We’re only going for two or three days, no need to bring so much stuff, right?"
"Our stuff doesn’t even make up a quarter, the rest is your daughter’s."
"Still doesn’t seem like that much."
"Mainly there’s toys, can’t go without them," Ji Qingyan said:
"It’s like this now, when she grows up she’s going to be a handful, you’ll be in charge then, I’m off to work."
"Alright, I’ll stay home as a full-time dad."
That night after dinner, the two played with the child for a while and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, the family of three, with Little Nuonuo, took a private jet to Jing City.
A little after two in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport.
Everyone from Group 1 came to receive them, holding toys.
Little Nuonuo didn’t know which one to play with.
"Sister-in-law."
Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, everyone from Group 1 greeted her, while also carrying Little Nuonuo, very fond of her.
"Everything here is quite normal, right?"
"The base is quite calm, not much reaction about Dragon Eagle."
"What about Boss Liu?"
"In the office doing Immortal Cultivation every day," Zhang Chaoyue said:
"Yesterday he even asked me to dual-pilot with him, but I have to say, Boss Liu is quite bad at it."
"Boss, what are your plans later?" Sui Qiang asked.
"Going to see the old man, already made an appointment, you guys take care of yourselves first."
"Got it."
Afterward, Group 1 drove Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan to Liang Xianghe’s place.
As soon as the car entered the courtyard, they saw Liang Xianghe and Lu Xingchuan playing chess.
His wife, Song Yuzhen, sat on a small stool nearby, watching the father and son play chess.
This scene was no different from the common people.
"Uncle Lu is actually here," Lin Yi said, surprised:
"You’ve got quite a bit of clout."
Ji Qingyan knew about Lu Xingchuan; it was him who helped the Lingyun Group through difficult times before.
"I’ve been here many times, and Uncle Lu was never around; once you come, Uncle Lu is back."
