I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2587 - 2588: Drawing Boundaries

Since the end of the bid meeting, the matters between Yisheng Group and Lingyun Group have become a hot topic in the business world.

Whenever Lin Yi is mentioned, it inevitably includes some criticism.

Tan’s Official Cuisine in Zhong Hai, with its excellent quality and taste over the years, has always held a position in Zhong Hai’s dining scene.

However, the high prices deter many people; it’s not a place the average person can afford.

In the private room, three people were seated.

One of them was Long Shangping, who showed goodwill to Zhao Rongyi on the day of the bid meeting.

The other two were the heads of Zhongsheng Capital and Yonghang Capital, Wang Lei and Sun Shengzhi.

Zhongsheng Capital and Yonghang Capital both have a spot in China.

Many of Lingyun Group’s projects involve them.

But after days of brewing and fermentation, the two investment companies began to significantly reduce their stocks related to Lingyun Group.

If it weren’t for He Yuanyuan’s bold operations, Lingyun Group’s stock couldn’t have stayed this stable and would have crashed in the secondary market long ago.

"Director Wang, President Sun, how are things with your companies? Have you offloaded? I feel like their stock hasn’t moved."

"We’ve basically cleared out; this hot potato is not something to hold onto," Wang Lei said:

"As for why their stock is steady, I guess it’s all being manipulated by their top management."

"I always knew Qi Xianzhao was capable, but their CFO He Yuanyuan and Senior Vice President Tian Yan are also no pushovers. They are bold and absorbed all the market stocks. Truly impressive."

"Even though Director Lin has lost his position, you must admit he has a few capable people under him."

"Let’s not talk about this now. The tide in Zhong Hai is about to change. Whether we can seize the opportunity depends on our skills." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"But can Director Lin really fall so quickly?" Sun Shengzhi asked:

"I’ve interacted with him; he’s definitely a smart person. With his insight, he should have foreseen this kind of thing early. It’s impossible for him not to have any reaction."

"The problem is he offended Zhao Rongyi. With Zhao Rongyi’s connections, even if he wants to find opportunities, it’s useless," Wang Lei said.

"And President Sun, you must know his influence in Zhong Hai is too massive. If we don’t suppress him now, it’s hard to say what the future holds," Long Shangping said.

"Haha, you two make a good point. Let’s have a drink."

Riiiing—

Just then, Sun Shengzhi’s phone rang.

After answering the phone, his face changed drastically.

"Is the news confirmed without error?"

"Okay, got it..."

Hanging up the phone, seeing Sun Shengzhi’s terrible expression, Long Shangping and Wang Lei grew suspicious.

"President Sun, what happened?"

"The K11 project was scrapped; they’re preparing for a third bidding!"

"Really? How’s that possible?"

"It was my secretary who called. He confirmed this through the company channel."

"Did they mention the specific reasons for scrapping the bid?" Wang Lei asked urgently.

"They said during the reinspection, an obvious error was found in Yisheng Group’s bid document."

"That’s impossible. Given their relationship, even if there were errors, they wouldn’t be pointed out now, let alone scrapping the bid," Long Shangping’s heart raced. "I feel like things aren’t as simple as they appear; there’s surely something else going on."

A shiver ran through Long Shangping’s body, leaving him covered in goosebumps.

The three exchanged glances, seeing the surprise and fear in each other’s eyes.

The K11 project was supposed to be a done deal, but with this happening, it clearly indicates one thing: Lingyun Group has taken action.

...

"Yuanyuan sent this to me for you to see."

Ji Qingyan handed an iPad to Lin Yi.

"What’s this?"

"It’s a proposal. She asked me to show it to you."

Lin Yi took the iPad, looked at the content, and understood Qi Xianzhao’s general operations.

The execution of the entire plan was more perfect than he imagined, while also being more cautious.

It also left room for later explanations.

Qi Xianzhao’s maneuver was, to say the least, spectacular.

"What do you plan on doing next?" Ji Qingyan asked.

"Things have developed to this point, and it has nothing to do with me anymore. It’s their own business; we’ll just enjoy the show."

Lin Yi stretched lazily, "I’m going out to buy some things and come back to make soup for you."

"I’ll let my mom buy it; you should also take a rest."

"I’m not really tired, just taking this opportunity to get some activity."

"Alright, then go ahead."

Though the maternity center provides meals, which are not of low quality,

Lin Yi wanted to make something better, so he strictly controlled the selection of ingredients, choosing them personally.

Also, Ji Qingyan wasn’t used to the food there, so Lin Yi took charge of the meals.

After shopping for over an hour in the supermarket, Lin Yi returned with many items, spending more than 200,000 yuan.

This showed just how high-end these ingredients were.

But just as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw He Yuanyuan and two men standing face-to-face. The conversation seemed tense.

One man was older, and the other looked to be in his thirties, appearing more like an assistant type.

"What are you guys doing?"

Upon hearing Lin Yi speak, He Yuanyuan turned around and stepped aside.

"This is the president of Xinfang Group, Zhang Dejiang."

Lin Yi nodded, finding it quite coincidental as they were just talking about this person yesterday.

"Hello, President Zhang." Lin Yi extended his hand as a gesture of goodwill.

But Zhang Dejiang remained unmoved.

"Director Lin, my wife just gave birth to our third child, and she’s also here for postpartum care."

Lin Yi didn’t get angry and withdrew his hand.

"That’s really coincidental, running into each other here."

"Just now I discussed with President He, and we decided not to accept your 120 million investment. We’ll return the money afterward. You can discuss the details with President He."

"Not accepting the investment?" Lin Yi said:

"I remember you guys came to us seeking investment initially, right?"

"Indeed, but after a company meeting decision, we found we don’t really need the money, so we’re planning to return it."

"I see, seems like Yisheng Group also invested quite a bit, making our money a bit redundant."

Zhang Dejiang didn’t speak, but under such circumstances, his silence was taken as consent.

He Yuanyuan pursed her lips, feeling that Zhang Dejiang was just laying his cards on the table with Lin Yi.

"That’s okay; it’s all normal business dealings. When you have the chance, just return the money. There’s no need for you to pay any breach penalties. No deal but still friendship."
