Chapter 3718: Chapter 3709: New Arrangements
"If we really discover something, things will get interesting."
"Hehe, I think so too. By then, we’ll have something to hold against the Chen family."
"It’s not as exaggerated as you think, perhaps it’s just our wishful thinking."
Xiao Bing nodded, "But this bunch is really stupid and bad, others wield guns and they fire cannons, ultimately becoming cannon fodder."
"You can’t say they’re cannon fodder, more like premium chives, they must be harvested from time to time."
After discussing business for a while, they continued drinking.
But even as the drinking session ended after 1 AM, Luo Qi had not returned.
The two went back to the car, and Xiao Bing, holding his phone, said:
"Lin Bro, Luo Qi messaged me that Sun Shengyao’s son, Sun Kang, arranged for that foreigner to stay at a hotel. They stayed over an hour before leaving."
Xiao Bing had a gossiping expression on his face:
"Lin Bro, do you think he might be gay?"
"That’s not the point of focus."
Lin Yi looked helpless, feeling like these women were always at the forefront of gossip.
Xiao Bing chuckled, "But now it should be clear that it doesn’t seem like a normal friendship. As to what they talked about, we’ll have to wait for Luo Qi to come back."
"I’m a bit hungry, do you have any food stalls here? Let’s find a place to eat something."
"Sure."
Xiao Bing drove and took Lin Yi to a seafood stall.
After about ten minutes, once they had ordered food, Luo Qi returned as well.
The three of them got a case of beer and started drinking leisurely under the night sky.
"Lin Bro, that foreigner doesn’t seem ordinary. I overheard a bit; they seem to be discussing business collaboration. Do you think it’s worth investigating such matters?"
"Just keep an eye on it, if there’s really something, we won’t miss it."
"I’m mainly pissed off. At a time when we’re supposed to unite against a common enemy, the Chen family is backstabbing us."
"This is on a higher level of game play. Once the old man is down, they can dominate, and that kind of temptation is hard to resist."
"If Elder Lu were ten years younger, the Chen family wouldn’t even qualify to sit at the table."
"But there’s no way around it, no one can stay glorious forever, we’ll all have our day."
The two women nodded, then raised their glasses and shifted the conversation to the Central Guards Brigade.
"Any movements in the brigade, any new plans from Boss Liu?"
"They’ve been watching international affairs, but I heard that some content of the Sheepskin Scroll has been deciphered. I haven’t gotten the details yet; I’ll call Team Leader Chen when I have time."
"No rush, the main focus is still on the island and global searches. The more secrets that are exposed, the worse I feel about it."
"I’ve heard some of that too; Boss Liu seems to think there may be plans for us to land on the island."
"Land on the island?"
"He said all major organizations are speeding up the process, and the middle and later stage searches on the island are not as thorough, so they might send us to take a look."
"What about Dragon Eagle’s reaction? Have they said they want to participate?"
"No, the Death Hill mission taught them a lesson in understanding the gaps between us. They won’t compete blindly in matters like these."
"Then let’s wait for the arrangements. You all should relax for now because when things get busy, you’ll have no time for anything else."
"Got it."
The three had their midnight snack until past 3 AM before Lin Yi drove back to the hotel for some rest.
When he opened his eyes, it was already past 10 AM, and there was a message from Chen Yuying asking if he was going to the e-commerce conference.
The message was sent around 7 AM, and looking at the time now, Lin Yi guessed Chen Yuying must have gone already by herself.
Lin Yi wasn’t in a rush. He leisurely tidied up his things and only headed to the venue after finishing up.
The venue wasn’t small. Upon entering, it was crowded, with someone on stage talking about the future of e-commerce, coupled with logistics services.
Lin Yi glanced at the stage and recognized the speaker.
He had seen him in a group chat just yesterday, rambling on and making some extremely coquettish remarks. He even asked if Lin Yi was going to participate, saying he would arrange a top-level business bureau.
And today, he was in a suit, becoming a business tycoon, directing affairs from the stage. This change felt quite amusing.
Lin Yi put on a mask, hoping not to be recognized.
But the unexpected happened.
"Director Lin?"
At that moment, a young woman wearing women’s trousers and a white shirt stood beside Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at her name tag: President’s Assistant, Liu Bing.
The person speaking on stage was her boss.
Given these reasons, it was only natural that she could recognize him.
"Just looking around, don’t mind me."
"How can I do that? If President Cai finds out, he will definitely have a word with me," Liu Bing said nervously:
"Come with me, I’ll arrange a front-row seat for you."
"No need to trouble yourself. I’m waiting for someone and will be leaving soon. Go ahead with your work."
Seeing Lin Yi insistent, Liu Bing couldn’t say anything further.
"Then I won’t delay Director Lin’s time."
"Alright, you go ahead."
Liu Bing left, and Lin Yi adjusted his mask, feeling that places like this were still quite dangerous.
You never know when you’ll be recognized.
He lingered at the entrance, sensing the meeting nearing its end. Lin Yi turned to leave, intending to wait outside for Chen Yuying.
Sitting in the car, Lin Yi received a message from Qi Xianzhao.
Both sides had reached a preliminary visitation agreement and would soon arrange someone to come over.
Shortly after, Lin Yi received a call from Ji Qingyan, confirming the visitation plan once again with Lin Yi.
If they really went through with it, it would mean completely falling out.
Not even maintaining a façade of harmony.
After receiving Lin Yi’s affirmative response, Ji Qingyan said nothing further.
Husband and wife in unity, since Lin Yi had decided to do it, she would fully cooperate!
After hanging up Ji Qingyan’s call, Lin Yi leaned back in his seat.
Sinus’s arrival was like a timely assist.
But it couldn’t completely solve the problem.
Besides the Technology Alliance and the foundation, more good news was needed to boost the entire industry chain.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to end this event on a perfect note.
Knock-knock-knock——
At this moment, the car window was tapped, and Lin Yi turned his head to look.
He saw two young women standing outside, one of whom looked familiar, smiling as she greeted him.
Lin Yi looked at the two women, noticing one looked familiar.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I’m Li Lin. I said hello to you yesterday, do you remember me?"
