Chapter 3677: Chapter 3669: Reverse Maneuver, Same Trick Again
"Huh? A skit?"
"The value of your thesis is less than the worth of these pages of A4 paper," Lin Yi said:
"Your advisor must already be doing pretty well to force themselves to read through it."
"You’re really good at putting people down; I’ve tried very hard."
"You’ve still got a long way to go; keep working hard."
"Ah...Listening to you makes me feel useless."
"That’s normal; your university is just at this level, and the students they teach are what they are. Although you have a lot to learn, it’s not fair to blame it all on you."
"Lin Bro, I find you’re talking much more diplomatically today."
"Not really diplomatic, just being realistic; it’s true the responsibility can’t all be placed on you."
"I like making friends with straightforward people like you."
"Alright, don’t put labels on me," Lin Yi said:
"Once you’re done with your thesis, isn’t it time to pick up the luggage."
"Yeah, but I still have to work on the thesis," Chen Yutong sighed, "I didn’t expect my thesis to be this bad."
Lin Yi chuckled and said no more.
After dinner, Chen Yutong greeted the security guard, and Lin Yi drove into the campus.
Facing graduates in their final year, the dorm aunt was quite tolerant.
As long as the attitude is decent, they usually allow accompanying people to enter and move things, even if they’re men.
Being back in college reminded Lin Yi of his own dorm aunt.
She always had a kind smile on her face.
She’d get up to let him in if he came back late from dinner.
When he graduated, she hugged him and cried for a while.
For Lin Yi, these are unforgettable memories.
The girls in the female dorm saw Lin Yi.
They couldn’t help but glance at him a few times.
These things weren’t surprising either.
After all, no one would run around naked in the dorm building.
Chen Yutong’s dorm was on the fourth floor.
Since she started her internship in senior year, the dorm was deserted.
Two other people had already moved their things out, making the room look a bit disheveled.
"Lin Bro, I’ll tidy up and throw away things I don’t need, and you can help me take the rest home."
"Sure."
Most of Chen Yutong’s things were cosmetics.
Easy to pack up, and she tossed out whatever was left that she didn’t need, including a few sets of unworn underwear.
While she was throwing them out, she showed the styles to Lin Yi.
"Lin Bro, look, the styles should be okay, right?"
"They’re indeed not bad; if you were a bit bigger, they’d work even better."
"Can’t do anything about that; it’s all natural," Chen Yutong said as she packed:
"Can’t compare, my sister’s are so big, but she dresses more conservatively than a grandma, wasting that great figure."
"The task now is to pack up."
"Got it, got it."
After about an hour, Chen Yutong had finished packing.
Lin Yi carried her things downstairs, threw away what was useless, and took the rest back.
With her things, Lin Yi sent Chen Yutong back home.
"Lin Bro, let’s go drink tonight; it’s been a while since we’ve gone out to play."
"Can’t do it; got other things, not going with you," Lin Yi said:
"Besides, your thesis reads like a joke, you should focus on fixing it."
"Lin Bro, I’ve noticed you’re really busy lately."
"Family matters, stay home, I’ll be off."
"Got it, got it."
After hanging up, Lin Yi drove to the Lingyun Group.
He met with Qi Xianzhao and other senior managers, keeping busy until after 8 PM.
Lin Yi didn’t go home alone, he took Qi Xianzhao and Tian Yan to a street stall to relax a bit.
Visiting such a place was rare, everyone was very relaxed.
"It’s a special period now; is anyone’s mind wavering?"
"Not only not wavering, they’re all kind of excited," Tian Yan said.
"Excited?"
Lin Yi was bemused, "Something big’s happened, and they’re excited? Are they hoping the company goes bust?"
"Not at all."
Tian Yan laughed and said:
"Didn’t such things happen before? In the end, we turned danger into safety, and we had a beautiful comeback. They feel the situation might be similar this time; Lingyun Group could get even better."
"These people really have no fear because of their ignorance," Lin Yi said with a laugh.
"They’re confident in you," Qi Xianzhao said.
"That’s normal, I think," Tian Yan said laughing:
"Not just them, even I have absolute faith in Director Lin."
"Director Lin, do you have any plans now?" Qi Xianzhao asked.
"I do, but can’t implement them yet; just waiting for the Kaijie Group to make a move."
"Will the officials lift the ban?"
"Possibly, but I’m not sure."
Lin Yi said:
"We’re very passive, any counterattack would just pull them into the trouble, nobody wins, and the talk of climbing higher is somewhat exaggerated."
"Seems like focusing on the domestic market is the way forward."
"Yes, once they can’t take it, the ban will naturally lift."
Ring, ring, ring—
Just as they were speaking, Qi Xianzhao’s phone rang.
"Okay, got it."
After picking up the phone for a few seconds, Qi Xianzhao hung up, his face looking grim.
"Director Lin, the Kaijie Group announced they’re teaming up with Synopsys and three other companies to develop high-process chips together."
"They’re trying to strike while the iron’s hot," Tian said with a cold face.
"I’ve been waiting for this news."
Lin Yi stretched, chuckling, "Everyone get ready; from now, it’s time to sound the horn for our counterattack."
Both turned to Lin Yi.
Not understanding what he meant.
Ring, ring, ring—
Then Tian Yan’s phone also rang.
After picking up, Tian Yan was visibly agitated.
"Nonsense, there is no such thing; tell the PR to handle it quickly; if not, send a legal letter!"
Seeing Tian Yan so agitated, Qi Xianzhao looked at her.
Quietly lit a cigarette, staying silent, waiting for her to finish the call.
"At this crucial moment, not a single mistake can be made; we must find those spreading rumors!"
After leaving some instructions, Tian Yan hung up.
"What happened?" Qi Xianzhao asked.
"Someone online is saying we’re going to provide the Beautiful Country’s officials with core lithography machine and chip data, it’s complete nonsense."
"It’s likely news from Kaijie Group to disrupt morale," Qi Xianzhao said.
"It wasn’t them; it was me."
"Huh?"
Both looked at Lin Yi.
"What’s this move?"
"Reverse move, or you could say an old trick."
The two were baffled, still not getting it.
Lin Yi glanced at the two.
Whispered:
"Short selling."
