Chapter 3448: Chapter 3440: Solo Lane
The two walked out of the operating room, passing through the sterile room and buffer room.
At this moment, Li Xia’s family was waiting here, and Li Xia was here too.
"Director Lin, how’s my husband?"
"He’s fine, the surgery was quite successful. A few months of recuperation will do, there will be no aftereffects. Don’t worry about work, the company will handle it for you."
"Director Lin, we really can’t repay your kindness." Li Xia said:
"If other colleagues in the company find out, it would be hard for the company to manage."
"Who will know if you don’t tell." Lin Yi said with a smile:
"In any case, don’t worry, just focus on recuperating."
"Understood, thank you, Director Lin."
Removing his mask and changing clothes, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan stood aside.
"Try to get as much reimbursement as possible for the medical expenses."
"Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything on that front in advance."
Lin Yi nodded with a smile, checked his watch.
"I have other matters to attend to, I’ll leave for now. Call me if anything comes up."
"Drive safely, don’t rush."
"Okay."
Lin Yi drove back to the car dealership.
Just in time to see a tow truck arriving at the dealership entrance.
The car front was unrecognizable, and there was a big hole in the windshield.
Glancing at the license plate, Lin Yi felt it was familiar; it seemed like the one Li Xia drove.
At the same time, Chen Lin and Sun Youtian were outside, coming to receive the car.
"You’re back just in time. There was an accident earlier, the results are out. The transmission had a problem, and it was this car," Sun Youtian said.
"I know, I sold this car. The buyer is my friend."
Hearing this, Chen Lin and Sun Youtian were taken aback.
"How’s the situation?"
"Still alright, managed to save a life," Lin Yi said:
"Ultimately, the car was at fault. Although it’s an isolated case and doesn’t mean all cars will have this issue, the transmission issue does exist. This batch must be recalled."
"We’ve tried responding, but it really had no effect."
"Then other methods must be used."
Chen Lin and Sun Youtian exchanged a glance, unsure of Lin Yi’s intentions.
However, they both had a bad feeling about it.
This matter might escalate uncontrollably.
Eventually, the car was towed inside, and Sun Youtian found someone to inspect it. Lin Yi squatted by, making a call to Yan Ci.
"Director Lin, any instructions?"
"Let’s have dinner tonight, are you free?"
"Look at what you’re saying. If Director Lin calls, even if I’m in labor, I’d push it back to have dinner with you first."
"Cut the nonsense, pick a place and call me. I’ll meet you there."
Sensing something off in Lin Yi’s tone, Yan Ci refrained from teasing him further.
"Did something happen? Is it good or bad? Let me prepare myself mentally."
"Don’t overthink. Just find a place to eat."
"Got it."
After hanging up, Lin Yi went to check on Sun Youtian with the repairs, staying until the end of the workday.
At around five in the evening, Lin Yi received a call from Yan Ci.
"I’ve chosen a place, a western restaurant. I’ll send the address in a moment. Head over now."
"Alright."
Soon, Lin Yi received the message from Yan Ci on his phone.
He arrived at the designated restaurant.
The decor is upscale, with private rooms, very business-oriented, and discreet.
"Did you ask me over to talk about the meeting?"
"Hmm? What meeting?"
"Your group’s new product launch, about the chip and battery plan."
Yan Ci said casually:
"I haven’t followed closely, but aren’t you the head of the group? How come you don’t know?"
"I’m not following it either," Lin Yi shrugged and said.
"If it’s not about this, then what is it about?"
"Recently a batch of A4s had issues, and other places are recalling them, but there’s been no action here."
"So your idealistic streak kicks in, can’t stand it, and want my help?"
"An employee bought a car from me, got into an accident today, almost lost their life."
Yan Ci’s smile faded.
"Protests won’t help in these cases. You know how foreigners can be. If not directly confronted, if bones aren’t cracked, they don’t feel pain."
She elegantly cut and ate a steak.
"Even if the Lingyun Group leads the effort, it might not yield good results."
"Of course, maybe more alliances are needed." Lin Yi said:
"We need your expertise in networking, collecting evidence, and stirring things online to amplify this matter."
"And then?" Yan Ci said lightly:
"I feel that whatever the outcome, we lose. They don’t regard us of consequence."
"Therefore, their recall isn’t important for me anymore. As you said, they must feel the pain." Lin Yi said:
"A misbehaving dog gets slaughtered. The rest will naturally behave, no need to teach."
"Impressive, you are indeed the man I chose." Yan Ci looked at him admiringly, "When do we start this?"
"First, gather relevant information, the vehicles are being tested, results should be out soon," Lin Yi said:
"We need to stand on moral high ground with ample evidence."
"No problem, leave the disruption to me, I’m good at that."
Having discussed business, they dined.
Afterwards, enthused, Yan Ci and Lin Yi had a moment in the car.
The next morning, Lin Yi did not go to the dealership, instead, visited the Lingyun Group.
He summoned Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, and Tian Yan to his office.
"How’s the foreign car manufacturers’ visit going?"
"We hosted executives from Mercedes yesterday, but used the excuse of insufficient capacity to delay promising them anything. More talks will follow," said Qi Xianzhao:
"The day after tomorrow, we have a product launch. Audi and BMW reps are visiting, along with some domestic manufacturers. We’ll discuss this then."
"Who’s representing Audi, Kroter?"
"Yes, likely him and his team." Qi Xianzhao said:
"Possibly due to your employment at their 4S dealership, Kroter is very confident about this and has been acting very high-profile lately."
"I’ve heard they will arrive in Zhong Hai tomorrow afternoon and attend the day after tomorrow’s launch," said Tian Yan.
"Let him boast a bit more." Lin Yi tapped the table thoughtfully:
"I expect Kroter will contact me upon arrival, you don’t need to pay too much attention."
