They did not go home for dinner that night. The two of them found a Sichuan restaurant and went to watch a movie after signing up for dinner. Then, they slowly went home.
The place was randomly chosen, and the food was not very nutritious. However, when they spent time together, the meal always tasted better.
The next morning, Lin Yi drove Ji Qingyan to work before heading to the Sacred Farm Development.
This was the place where they had arranged to meet.
Lin Yi had never heard of this company before, but the scale of the company was bigger than he had imagined. At the very least, Chaoyang Group could not compare to it.
After parking the car, Lin Yi took out his phone and called Ma Huaiyang, the director of the legal department of Lingyun Group.
âPresident Lin, Iâm really sorry. There was a car crash along the way. The road is all blocked. 1â11 drive faster later and try to get there as soon as possible.â
âItâs not a big deal. Your safety is most important. Donât drive so fast.â
Lin Yi was very understanding of his subordinates when it came to unavoidable matters, so he didnât take it to heart.
âIâm sure you know all about this Sacred Farm Development.â
âYesterday, I checked the information and found that their legal director was a former student of mine. I taught him all his skills. It will be too easy to deal with him.â
âCould such a thing really happen?â
âI used to be a graduate supervisor at Yanjing Universityâs Law School. It was through a recommendation that I joined our Lingyun Group, so I have quite a few students within this industry.â
âThatâs too embarrassing. We were in the right to begin with, and now youâre doing this. Isnât this a bit overkill?â
âThatâs the law. When you get a chance, you have to beat the dead horse. You canât give anyone a chance. Otherwise, youâll end up getting bitten in the back.â
âI like what youâre saying. Itâs time for you to perform.â
âDonât worry, President Lin. Itâll definitely do well.â
âDrive slowly on the road. If anything happens to you, it will be Lingyun Groupâs loss.â
âThank you for your understanding, President Lin.â
After hanging up, Lin Yi didnât wait in the car and walked into the Sacred Farm Development building.
âHello, sir. Do you have an appointment?â
Seeing Lin Yi enter, the female receptionist asked with a smile.
âMy name is Lin Yi. Your general manager, Peng Chengjie, invited me here to discuss something.â
After knowing Lin Yiâs name, the female receptionist immediately reacted.
President Peng had specially mentioned this matter this morning. He did not expect the defendant to be so handsome.
âHello, Mr. Lin. Our Director Peng has already said that once you arrive, wait for him in the conference room on the second floor. Iâll send you up first.â
âJust tell me the room number. 1â11 go over myself.â
â2001.â
âOkay.â
Lin Yi went up the stairs to the second floor.
âLittle Bing, is this little brother the one who stole our companyâs technology?â Another female receptionist asked.
âOf course. Otherwise, why would he come here?â
âBut heâs too handsome. 1 canât bear to see him like this.â
âThereâs nothing we can do. He stole our companyâs core technology. Director Peng definitely wonât let him off.â
âSigh, what a pity.â
âLetâs not talk about this for now. 1 have to call Director Peng and tell him that heâs here.â
In the general managerâs office, Peng Chengjie and Shao Jialiang were chatting about Lin Yi.
âDirector Shao, we are the ones in the wrong, but the other party is a farmer and has a weak legal foundation. 1 will leave the process to you.â
Shao Jialiang laughed. âAlthough weâre not in the right, we have evidence. Heâs just a farmer. Heâs definitely not my match when it comes to talking. Give me five minutes and Iâll scare him to death.â
âHaha, thatâs exactly what I wanted.â Peng Chengjie said.
âWe have to use coercion and bribery to make him hand over the technology in his hands. Otherwise, weâll put him in jail!â
âThere will be no problems in this regard. As long as we give a little incentive, the court will stand on our side. Iâll make him hand over the technology obediently.â
âBut thereâs one more thing we need to pay attention to,â Peng Chengjie said.
âEven though heâs a farmer, heâs still smart. He might get a lawyer. You have to be wary of that.â
âYou donât have to worry about that,â Shao Jialiang said confidently.
âYou may not be aware, but our Law School at Yanjing University is one of the traditional five colleges and four departments, and it holds significant influence nationwide. Furthermore, I am a disciple of the renowned legal scholar Dr. Ma Huaiyang. In terms of capability, I donât think anyone surpasses me. Moreover, our industry places great importance on background and pedigree. Who knows, the lawyer he brings in might even pay me respects and admiration once they meet me.â
âHaha, Iâm relieved to hear that. Donât worry and do it boldly. Donât disappoint me.â
âDonât worry, President Peng. Itâll definitely be fine.â
Ring ring ring!
As they were talking, the landline on his desk rang.
âPresident Peng, Iâm at the front desk. The person called Lin Yi is already here. I asked him to go to the meeting room.â
Peng Chengjie nodded. âHow many people did he bring?â
âHeâs alone. He didnât bring anyone with him.â
âAlright, I understand.â
After hanging up, Peng Chengjie stood up and tidied up his suit.
âOur worries were a little unnecessary. He came alone. He didnât even get a lawyer.â
âFarmers are farmers. He doesnât even have the basic common sense to look for a lawyer. Weâve overestimated him,â Shao Jialiang said disdainfully.
âThatâs right. Letâs go.â
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the office. Then, they went to the meeting room on the second floor.
âMr. Lin, let me introduce you. This is Shao Jialiang, the director of our companyâs legal department. He will be in charge of todayâs negotiations.â
Lin Yi sat on the chair without getting up. He glanced at Shao Jialiang and smiled.
âThis person isnât very good. I suggest you get someone who can actually fight.â
âMr. Lin, what do you mean? Are you questioning my ability?â
Shao Jialiang was a little confused.
Youâre just a farmer, yet youâre questioning a top student from Yan University??
Who gave you the courage to act this way?
âYou can put it that way. Youâre really not good enough.â
âMr. Lin, youâre being too arrogant. No matter how bad 1 am, Iâm still a top student at Yan University. Do you have the right to judge me?â
Lin Yi shrugged. âFair enough. Ultimately, itâs your choice whether to heed my advice or not.â
âWeâre here to talk about serious matters today. 1 donât think thereâs any point in talking about this.â Shao Jialiang said.
âOf course, if you realize your mistake, we can let this go.â
âYou donât have to talk to me about this. I donât have time to deal with you. My lawyer will be here soon. You two can talk.â
âYou got a lawyer?â Peng Chengjie frowned.
âOf course, itâs better to leave these time-wasting matters to others.â
Peng Chengjie and Shao Jialiang looked at each other and smiled. They had already expected this possibility, so they were not worried.
âAlright, since youâve found a lawyer, letâs talk after your lawyer arrives.â
The two of them sat down. Shao Jialiang was not in a hurry at all.
Youâre just a farmer. How good can the lawyer you found be?
He might even nod and bow when he saw me.
Ignorance was too scary.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as Shao Jialiang was feeling smugâ¦
There was a knock on the door outside the conference room.
âCome in.â
Peng Chengjie responded, and the door of the meeting room opened. Ma Huaiyang walked in from outside.
âPresident Lin, Iâm sorry Iâm late.â
