709 Those Who Can’t Have Me Start to Go Crazy
After dinner, the two of them packed their things and drove to work together.
Ji Qingyan went to Chaoyang Group while Lin Yi went to Lingyun Group.
When he arrived at the office, Lin Yi kicked open He Yuanyuan’s office door and realized that there was no one inside.
“Boss Lin, you’re here.”
The person who spoke was He Yuanyuan’s secretary.
“Where did He Yuanyuan go?”
“There’s an investment meeting going on now. Director He and Director Tian are in the meeting room. Do you need me to call Director He and Director Tian over?”
Lin Yi shook his head. “No need. Let them do their work.”
“Got it, President Lin.”
Lin Yi turned around and went to Qi Xianzhao’s office.
In the office, besides Qi Xianzhao, there was also a short-haired woman.
She was wearing a business suit, and her hair was not long, only reaching her shoulders.
She was not a stunning type, but she was very pleasing to the eye.
When Lin Yi came in, she was serving tea to Qi Xianzhao.
Lin Yi had some impression of her. Her name was Zhang Min, and she was a department manager at the foundation.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, the two of them looked a little uneasy and stood up to greet him.
“Not bad, Old Qi. The department manager is here to serve you tea.” Lin Yi chuckled.
“How about this? I’ll talk to HR and transfer her over to become your senior assistant.”
“No need, no need,” Qi Xianzhao said in embarrassment. “It’s just a cup of tea. It doesn’t mean anything else.”
With that, Qi Xianzhao raised his head at Zhang Min. “Go do your own thing.”
“President Lin, Director Qi, I’ll get going first.”
Zhang Min lowered her head and was too embarrassed to stay.
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He couldn’t decide if he was happy or angry.
He Yuanyuan, you coward. If you were more proactive, wouldn’t Old Qi be yours?
This guy was also f*cking drunk.
Not satisfied, Lin Yi took out his phone and sent He Yuanyuan a WeChat message.
“Nothing. You’re done.”
“President Lin, there’s already been progress in the mobile phone business. We’ve found a small factory, but it only has the ability to produce products on a small scale. Coincidentally, we’re still working on low-end phones below a thousand yuan. Changing the production line should allow it to satisfy our requirements.”
“How much did it cost?”
“Huh? You need so much money to buy a small factory?”
“The other party refused to relent, so…”
“Don’t take the blame. He Yuanyuan is a miser. If there’s no reason, she wouldn’t have arbitrarily spent this money.”
Qi Xianzhao paused for a moment. The boss really had divine foresight!
“Yuanyuan said that the boss’ son is very handsome, so she didn’t want to bargain.”
Lin Yi took out his phone and sent He Yuanyuan a WeChat message. “Idiot, I hope you stay single for the rest of your life!”
‘Who the hell did I offend?’
In the conference room, He Yuanyuan shared a screenshot of Lin Yi’s conversation with her to her WeChat Moments with the caption,
“My boss is going crazy since he can’t get me.”
In the office, Qi Xianzhao shared his recent work with Lin Yi.
Longxin’s marketing plan was in its final stages. It would take at least a week to half a month to complete.
Their plans in Shianggang were slowly beginning to develop.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
The door to Qi Xianzhao’s office was pushed open, and He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan walked in.
“Hey Lin, what do you mean by this?” He Yuanyuan said, “I was going to discuss a possible investment. Why are you scolding me?”
Tian Yan stood aside. Director He was still the best.
“I wish I could kick you to death. You’re useless even when I give you such a good chance.”
“Hmm? What chance did you give me?”
He Yuanyuan was inexplicably scolded. She had been working very hard recently.
“President Lin, this is an investment we just recently discussed. Do you want to take a look at it?” Tian Yan probed.
If Lin Yi were not in the company, she could make this decision herself.
However, now that the boss was here, she naturally had to let the boss take a look.
“What is this? An investment for Douyu?”
“This is regarding the company’s future. It’ll be more convenient to sway public opinion this way.”
“I won’t read the content. You guys deal with it yourselves.”
Lin Yi didn’t pay much attention to this. After giving a few instructions, he drove to the research institute.
When Lin Yi came over, Shen Tianzhuo walked over to greet him. At the same time, Lu Ying joined in.
“Director Shen, how’s your research coming along? Do you have enough money?”
“It’s enough,” Shen Tianzhuo said. “The 30 billion you transferred over a few days ago should be enough to sustain us for a while.”
“That’s good.” Lin Yi said.
“In terms of money, don’t pinch pennies and spend it boldly. Don’t have any worries. Even if you don’t develop anything in the end, it doesn’t matter. Just don’t feel pressured.”
“How can I do that? You’ve given me so much money. If I can’t develop anything, wouldn’t that be too insulting?”
Shen Tianzhuo had always been grateful for Lin Yi’s support.
He had indeed fulfilled his promise back then.
He had been granted almost unlimited funding and unlimited academic freedom.
His life here was indeed too good.
“Director Shen, what’s the situation with the lithography machine now? Did you take care of it?”
“Let’s go, this is not the place to talk.” Shen Tianzhuo patted Lin Yi’s shoulder. The two of them walked out of the research institute and sat on the steps at the side.
Shen Tianzhuo took out two cigarettes and handed them to Lin Yi. The two of them lit them up and smoked.
Lu Ying stood behind the two of them. She was curious about the men’s behavior.
It was just an ordinary cement step. Why did it make the two of them make it feel like Starbucks?
“We’re trying to figure out a way to overcome the problem regarding the photolithography machine’s image difference compensation. This is also my forte,” Shen Tianzhuo said.
“If we conquer this technology, we will have the best technology in the world. Under the condition that we obtain the same components, the photolithography machine we produce will be the best in the world. As for the possibility of creating a photolithography machine alone, just forget about it. This would be impossible. We will have to cooperate with companies across the globe.”
Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
“Alright, Director Shen, continue. Remember to tell me if you encounter any difficulties.”
Shen Tianzhuo shrugged. “The only problem is Cymer’s light source. Is there a way to solve this?”
“Alright, leave it to me. I’m dealing with this matter.”
“Other than that, there are no other problems,” Shen Tianzhuo said. “By the way, I still have some reports to submit. Since you’re here, why don’t you sign them?”
After returning to the institute, Lin Yi signed the recent research reports.
Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was an unknown number.
“Is this Brother Mask?”
“that’s me. Who are you?”
“I’m Li Lin, the marketing director of Douyu. We spoke on the phone before. I’m in Zhonghai. I want to talk to you about the contract.”
