Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Qingfeng looked at the man sitting on the sofa.

His expression changed from confusion to surprise.

Could this man be related to Liu Qiang and Yao Donglai?

Cao Jingqiu watched the scene quietly.

Her opinion of Lin Yi changed a little.

This man wasn’t foolhardy, but he knew the unspoken rules inthe construction industry.

Very few of those who were able to make a name for themselves in the construction industry had clean backgrounds.

Therefore, most of the time, conventional methods would not work at all.

Therefore, he sought help from outsiders. This was perhaps the most effective method.

“Isn’t this your territory? There should be quite a number of people here. Call them up. I want to see if you can really chop off one of my legs.”

“No, no, no, Director Lin. Don’t get angry over such a small matter. It’s not worth it.”

Li Qingfeng took out a cigarette and passed it to Lin Yi. “I’m friends with Qiang and Dong. We’re on the same side. Let’s talk this out.”

“I’m so handsome, so how can I be on the same side as you? Don’t flatter yourself.”

......

Cao Jingqiu rubbed her temples. This man was really hard to figure out.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’m so ugly, I don’t deserve to be on the same side as Director Lin,” Li Qingfeng said.

“I was wrong to default on the final payment. I’ll give you the money now.”

“The principal is 11.2 million. I don’t care how much interest you had in mind. 15 million. No negotiation.”

“You want so much interest…”

Li Qingfeng’s legs were shaking. There was not much money in the company’s books. If they were forced to give 15 million, they would have no way to start the follow-up projects.

“You don’t have to pay the interest. I’m willing to waive it for one of your legs.”

“Director Lin, please calm down. I’ll prepare the money for you now.”

Li Qingfeng took out his checkbook and wrote down 15 million shakily.

His heart felt like it was bleeding when he wrote those words.

Lin Yi handed the check to Wang Ying. “Let’s go. Everything’s settled.”

“Okay.”

Wang Ying took the check and let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that she had brought Lin Yi with her today. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to deal with Li Qingfeng with her own abilities, let alone recover the rest of the money.

She watched the group leave.

Cao Jingqiu felt that she had miscalculated.

It wasn’t the woman named Wang Ying who was supporting him, it was he who was supporting that woman.

Older women were becoming more and more marketable.

“President Cao, there’s something I need your help with,” Li Qingfeng said seriously.

“Help with what? Do you still want to deal with these people?”

“That’s right. I can’t swallow this grievance,” Li Qingfeng said with his fists clenched.

“Although Liu Qiang and Yao Donglai are not easy to deal with, there are still people in Zhonghai who can contend with them. I’m going to get some money to find someone to deal with them. In addition, I hope you can place some public pressure on Chaoyang Group. I want to show them the consequences of offending me, Li Qingfeng.”

Cao Jingqiu shrugged. “I don’t care. As long as the money is right, I’ll accept any kind of business.”

“I’ll contact you again about the follow-up. Also, don’t worry, DirectorCao. The public relations fee will definitely satisfy you.”

“Then it’s settled. I still have other things to do in the afternoon, so I won’t accompany you.”

After saying this, Cao Jingqiu grabbed her handbag and walked out of Li Qingfeng’s office gracefully.

Cao Jingqiu didn’t return to the company after leaving Qingfeng Li’s office.

They had to talk about financing in the afternoon at the Peninsula Hotel, so they booked a room there so they could rest and organize their information.

After getting the money, Lin Yi and Wang Ying returned to Chaoyang Group.

“Little Yi, thank you so much for this.” Wang Ying said. “If I had been alone, I would have been scared to death.”

“Call me if there’s anything you can’t solve next time,” Lin Yi said.

“Keep the extra 3.8 million for yourself. There’s no need to hand it over to the company.”

“That won’t do. This is our big sister’s money. I can’t keep it for myself.”

“It’s just a few million. It’s not as serious as you say.”

“It’s a matter of principle. I can’t do that,” Wang Ying said.

“And I’m already very satisfied with my current life. I can’t take money that doesn’t belong to me.”

“Fine. You decide what you want to do.”

“What about you? What are you doing tonight?” Wang Ying said. “Your sister moved to a new house, but you haven’t come to visit me even once. How about you come to my place for dinner tonight?”

“Sure, I haven’t eaten your food in a long time.”

They chatted briefly before Lin Yi drove off. By 1 pm, he had finished seven orders and driven 110 kilometers.

Lin Yi did some calculations. He had driven almost 600 kilometers in the past few days, so his pacing wasn’t bad.

After this, he drove to the Peninsula Hotel. Wang Tianlong wasn’t there, so the hotel lobby manager and the receptionist greeted Lin Yi.

“Don’t worry about me, just do your own thing.” Lin Yi waved his hand. “I’ll go to the second floor to eat something.”

“Got it, President Lin. If you need anything, you can call us.”

“Okay.”

From this, it was clear that Wang Tianlong didn’t rise to become the general manager by chance.

If Wang Tianlong encountered something like this, he would definitely try to clear the restaurant and chase everyone off the second floor.

Although Lin Yi wouldn’t let him do so, he still had to put on an act.

And that was the essence of flattery.

He found a corner and sat down. Lin Yi ordered some food and gotready to eat.

It didn’t matter if it was an investment or not. He had to fill his stomach first.

“Director Lin?”

Just as Lin Yi was enjoying his meal, he heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head and saw that it was Cao Jingqiu.

“It really is you.” Cao Jingqiu smiled. “We just met in the morning and we are meeting again in the afternoon. What a coincidence.”

“Why do I feel like there’s a hidden meaning behind your words?”

“You helped get back more than ten million yuan. With Mr. Lin’s character, I don’t believe you would send it all back to the company.”

“You make it sound like I’m a scumbag.”

“Actually, I think scumbag is a good word.” Cao Jingqiu said.

“I’d be happy if someone called me a scumbag.”

‘What kind of f*cking logic is that?’

Lin Yi could tell from the simple words.

This Cao Jingqiu was also a person with an abnormal brain.

“Only people with looks and money can become a scumbag. I think this is the greatest sign of a successful man.”

“Thank you for making me feel less guilty about being a scumbag.”

Lin Yi looked up. “I ordered a lot of things. Do you want to sit down and eat together?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Director Lin. There’s no need for that.” Cao Jingqiu said as she combed her hair.

“I’m not going to sit with you since I’m meeting someone else. Besides, I don’t think it’s appropriate for the two of us to sit down and eat together.”

“Why?” Lin Yi said. “Do you look down on scumbags?”

“I hope you don’t misunderstand my words, but thank you for your kindness all the same, Director Lin.”

“Let’s not talk about dinner first. Did you have an appointment to talk to someone about financing?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

“I’m Lin Yi.”
