Tian Yan poured a glass of water for Lin Yi and said faintly,
âBefore the New Year, didnât we have a meeting to discuss setting up a few laboratories? Now, weâre running out of space, and the company is planning to allocate a piece of land to build a high-salary industrial park.â
âWait.â
âIs there a need to go through so much trouble? Is there really a need to allocate land for this?â
âThis is Director Qiâs idea, and it was also decided during our meeting,â Tian Yan said.
âBy establishing this, weâre essentially expanding our industrial scale. Although those in the know understand that itâs not very meaningful, it looks different to the general public. Thereâs a significant perceptual difference, and it will greatly enhance the companyâs reputation among the people.â
Tian Yan combed her hair and continued,
âWhatâs more, doing this can be considered a political achievement for the city leaders. Although it will cost more money, itâs still worth it in terms of long-term benefits.â
Hearing Tian Yanâs explanation, Lin Yi understood what was going on. He had indeed thought too little about this matter.
âOkay, go on.â
âBefore Director Qi left, he took a fancy to a piece of land and even met with the relevant leaders in advance. They said that it wasnât a big problem and that they would cooperate fully, but something happened recently and are now competing with us for this.â
âThis is interesting.â Lin Yi took a sip of water and smiled.
âWho wants to fight with us for land? Is it someone from another province?â
Tian Yan nodded. âHuanghai Group from Shianggang.â
âF*ck, why is it them again?â
âWhy the big reaction?â Tian Yan asked suspiciously, âDo you know them?â
âThis company fought with Chaoyang Group for land before this. After 1 taught them a lesson, theyâre now fighting with us.â
Lin Yi believed that the people from Huanghai Group knew about his background.
He also believed that the other party would carry out a thorough inspection before committing to a project.
Because of these reasons, their actions showed that they dared to openly compete with him. They were really poking the bear..
âItâs possible that theyâre going against us.â Tian Yan said.
âBut Huanghai Group is a big company. Its president is Li Dongxin. He used to be the richest man in Huaxia and is our strong competitor.â
âYou guys stick to the original plan. 1â11 settle this.â
Just as Lin Yi had thought, Huanghai Group had indeed investigated him.
However, their research was limited to Lingyun Groupâs influence in Zhonghai.
They did not find any in-depth information about him.
The Li Family didnât know about Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxuâs relationship, the Liang Familyâs influence in Yanjing, nor his relationship with Lu Beichen.
Otherwise, they would have to think twice before doing these things.
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Ma San.
As soon as the call connected, he heard Ma Sanâs sinister laughter, as if he knew that Lin Yi was going to call him.
âPresident Lin, long time no see. May I know why you are calling me?â
âI think you people from Shianggang are quite interesting. I took one of your hands and you still dare to taunt me. Doesnât your hand hurt?â
âUnfortunately, this is your fault,â Ma San said.
âZhonghai is so big. Are you the only one who can do business here? Canât others do the same? Arenât you being too domineering?â
âLooks like I have to talk to you when 1 have time. Iâll need to teach you a lesson,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âCome on. Iâd love to talk to you, too, but before that, you need to find me.â
Ma San didnât give Lin Yi a chance to speak and hung up.
After hanging up, Lin Yi got up.
âOld Qi isnât around. Take care of the company for now. Call me if thereâs anything you canât handle.â
âGot it.â
âWhereâs He Yuanyuan?â
âI think she went shopping.â
âF*ckâ
After getting down to business, Lin Yi instructed Tian Yan to gather the other executives for an internal meeting.
During this period, Qi Xianzhao was not around. Thus, Lin Yi prepared to deal with all the accumulated matters.
The meeting only ended at six oâclock in the evening, and then he went over to pick Ji Qingyan up from work.
That night, the two of them didnât go home to eat. They went to eat hotpot together to celebrate Lin Yiâs return.
After returning home, Ji Qingyan did not go to the study. Instead, she sat on the sofa with Lin Yi and watched television.
Ji Qingyan was resting on his lap, and Lin Yi occasionally fed her some fruit, acting like a diligent caretaker.
During a quiet moment, Lin Yi placed his hand on Ji Qingyanâs stomach, which she did not resist. He stroked back and forth for quite some time.
âHaving touched for so long, have you felt anything?â Ji Qingyan asked with a chuckle.
âThe flesh feels plump and firm, and seems about the right weight. Our little pet pig is ready to be turned into a meal.â
âI bet the meat would be delicious, probably good enough to grant eternal youth.â
âI realized that youâre getting more and more shameless. You can even say such things.â
âHehe, there are no outsiders anyway.â
Following her usual routine, Ji Qingyan headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lin Yi took out his phone and sent Li Chuhan a WeChat message. He checked the time of Ma Jialiangâs surgery with her and then called Miao Guofeng.
They chatted for more than 20 minutes before hanging up.
After arranging everything, Lin Yi rubbed his chin and muttered to himself,
âZhonghai is my territory. Arenât you happy enough to have survived? Why do you have to show off?â
The next morning, as usual, after breakfast, Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan to Chaoyang Group.
Then, he went to Huashan Hospital and found the director of the Orthopedics Department, Sun Xiaogang.
âDirector Lin, why are you here?â
In the office, Sun Xiaogang stood up to welcome Lin Yi.
âThereâs something I want to tell you,â Lin Yi said.
âAt ten oâclock, is there a patient called Ma Jialiang who is scheduled for surgery?â
âYes, thereâs still more than half an hour until then. The preoperative examination is done. Itâll start soon.â
Sun Xiaogang smiled and said, âDirector Lin, is that Ma Jialiang your relative? You could have just told me. There was no need to come personally.â
âDonât make this public. Iâm going to do the surgery.â
âYouâre going to do it?â
Sun Xiaogang was a little surprised. âItâs not a big surgery, but youâre from the cardiology department. Are you sure youâll be okay performing an orthopedic surgery?â
âOf course, such a small matter wonât stump me.â Lin Yi walked over, patted Sun Xiaogangâs shoulder, and handed him two packets of Zhonghuo cigarettes.
âDonât worry about this. iâll handle the entire surgery. I donât need anyoneâs help. You just have to instruct someone to send him to the operating table. Iâll handle the rest alone.â
âBut this is against the rules. Iâm just a director, and us swapping positions privately is definitely not allowed.â
âItâs fine. Iâve already informed the head. Donât worry, you wonât be implicated.â
Sun Xiaogang heaved a sigh of relief.
âIâm relieved hearing you say that. Iâll do as you say..â
