Chapter 3717 - 3708: Sinus’s Appointment
Chapter 3717: Chapter 3708: Sinus’s Appointment
This outcome was within Lin Yi’s expectations.
Without secret support, no one would dare to stand out and oppose the Lingyun Group.
After all, those who venture into business aren’t fools; they know how to weigh the pros and cons.
What’s left is to see how much connection they have with the Chen family.
If it’s just a simple investment, it doesn’t necessarily indicate anything.
However, Lin Yi himself wasn’t too concerned about it, as the foundation’s plan could counter their tactics.
Skilled as ever, Xiao Bing drove the car to the OT Bar.
Seeing it was Xiao Bing’s car, the bar’s security manager jogged over.
"Bing Sis is here."
As a presence akin to the grand daughter of Yuhang, Xiao Bing’s arrival was full of prestige.
"Have you saved the seat?"
"Saved, saved. Everything’s set, just waiting for you to come."
Xiao Bing tossed over the keys, letting the manager park, and the trio headed into the bar.
Meanwhile, a few onlookers were surprised by their actions.
"Li Lin, didn’t you say he was a driver? Why is Xiao Bing holding his arm?"
Li Lin, sitting in the car, was just as puzzled.
"I really don’t know. When I tried to strike a conversation with him, he said he was a driver accompanying his boss."
"You might have been deceived or tricked. Who brings their driver to a banquet?"
Recalling the encounter, Li Lin felt it was possible.
Anyone whom Xiao Bing would hold by the arm couldn’t have a low profile.
Thinking about withdrawing her business card, Li Lin felt like slapping herself twice.
Elsewhere, Xiao Bing and Luo Qi each held one of Lin Yi’s arms as they walked into the bar.
"In Yuhang, it has to be Our Miss Xiao; she’s certainly something," Luo Qi joked.
"Haha, barely just enough; just trying to get by."
"Get lost; when I say you’re flaunting, you’re really flaunting."
The moment they entered the bar, the loud tunes and colorful neon lights instantly transported the atmosphere into another world.
Xiao Bing’s appearance attracted many local affluent second gens.
They’re all from the same circle; many often hang out with Xiao Bing, and knowing she’d be here tonight, they were waiting.
"Bing Sis, you’re here."
A handsome guy walked over upon seeing Xiao Bing.
"Come, come. The prominent guests are here; let’s start!"
None of them knew who Lin Yi was, but if Xiao Bing said he was important, then he must be significant, deserving good company.
Li Lin and her friends stood nearby.
The bar noise was too loud to hear what they were saying, but seeing their high spirits, it was undoubtedly lively.
"You’ve really messed me up. That doesn’t look like a driver at all. Forget Xiao Bing, looking at him, he’s clearly a regular here."
"It’s my fault. I got tricked," Li Lin said regretfully.
"I guess tomorrow at the e-commerce conference he’ll be there; another chance to chat then."
After being tense for so long, Lin Yi was finally relaxing, drinking quite a bit, hardly refusing any.
Ring, ring, ring—
At this point, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Qi Xianzhao.
Checking the time, it was nearly eleven PM.
"You guys keep drinking; I need to take a call."
Lin Yi got up and headed outside the bar.
A call at this hour surely meant something important.
"Hello."
Finding a relatively quiet spot, Lin Yi answered the call.
"Director Lin, Kaijie Group called me. They want to meet you. I guess they’re struggling."
"Given the tension on both sides, a call at this moment indeed shows intentions of goodwill, but their timing isn’t great."
With a 12-hour time difference, it’s daytime in the Beautiful Country now, calling at a convenient time for them shows little sincerity.
"Calling at this time is indeed arrogant," Qi Xianzhao said.
"But this call indeed shows signs of weakness, Director Lin, when are you available?"
"Who’s coming over?"
"The rotating chairman, Sinus. If it weren’t him, I’d have outrightly rejected."
"When are they coming?"
"If we agree from our side, they’ll send someone over immediately," Qi Xianzhao said.
"I won’t be going, and you guys don’t need to either. Let the marketing department handle it; send a deputy general manager."
"Huh?"
Qi Xianzhao was surprised.
"Send a deputy general manager? That’s not really appropriate."
"There’s nothing inappropriate, just do as I say, and by then you will collectively be ’missing.’"
Qi Xianzhao was silent for a moment.
"If we do this, we’ll be completely severed from Kaijie Group."
"We’re already severed."
"I don’t fear Kaijie Group, but they have the Bright Society behind them, a huge organization that’s tough to handle."
"No worries; if you’re going to forge, you need a strong body. As long as we have our own capabilities, we need not heed them."
"Got it."
After hanging up on Qi Xianzhao, Lin Yi didn’t immediately return. He fiddled with his phone for a while and sent Yan Ci a message.
"Are you asleep?"
Quickly, Lin Yi’s phone rang again; Yan Ci had called back.
"Director Lin, should I leave the door open for you?" Yan Ci laughed.
"Serious business," Lin Yi said.
"Kaijie Group will send someone in a few days. I’ve arranged for the marketing department’s deputy to host them. By then, report this matter; get the internal materials from Qi Xianzhao, and target the external network."
"Got it."
"As expected of President Yan, talking with you doesn’t need a lot of words."
"Director Lin flatters me; I’m actually clueless, just trying not to waste your time. I’ll ask Director Qi about the specifics."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "Then go ahead and ask him. I’ll leave this to you. Don’t mind spending money; make sure it spreads worldwide."
"Understood, leave it to me."
After hanging up on Yan Ci, Lin Yi stretched his body.
Feels like Sinus is trying to speed up my demise, handing me assists.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Lin Yi returned to the bar.
But upon returning, he found that Luo Qi was gone.
Initially thinking she was in the restroom, but she never returned even after a while.
"Where’s Qi Qi gone." Holding his glass, Lin Yi casually asked.
"She spotted Sun Shengyao’s son and went over to check."
"You two overestimate this matter, don’t be so tense; they won’t make waves."
"The main thing is he’s with a foreigner. Just to be safe, we thought to check."
"Foreigner?"
"Meeting a foreigner at this special time might not be normal, and judging by that foreigner’s demeanor, he seems unusual too."
