Chapter 3421: A Solution to the Problem

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"You’re pretty fast, signing it so quickly."

"Director Lin, honestly, our leadership made the call on this, and the price they offered was right, so we naturally did them this favor." Liu Desheng said:

"If I had known you were interested in this land too, I wouldn’t have agreed to them."

Although Liu Desheng didn’t know the relationship between Lin Yi and Shen Shuyi, Lin Yi’s influence in Zhong Hai was obvious to everyone.

Plus, the two companies have a lot of collaborations.

If time could be reversed, Liu Desheng definitely wouldn’t have signed with the other party.

In Zhong Hai, no one dares to make Lin Yi unhappy.

But the contract has been signed, so there’s no way to work around it now.

"Can’t you think of something else?"

"Director Lin, the contract is already signed, there’s nothing I can do."

"How about this, I’ll call my mom."

"Huh?"

Liu Desheng was a bit dumbfounded, "Director Lin, for something this small, is it really necessary to call your mom?"

"Not my mom, my mother-in-law."

"Mother-in-law?"

"Yeah, she’s Shen Shuyi."

"What?!"

Liu Desheng almost fell down on his seat.

"Director Lin, Director Shen is your mother-in-law?"

"What else? Otherwise, why would the two companies have so many collaborations?"

"No, no, Director Lin, don’t make the call yet." Liu Desheng hurriedly stopped Lin Yi, "Let me think of a solution."

"Are you sure you can come up with something?"

"Even if there isn’t a way, I’ll force myself to find one." Liu Desheng said bitterly:

"Please help me out, I really don’t mean to make things difficult for you."

"I understand Director Lin very well, I’ll call the deputy director right now."

Liu Desheng took out his phone again and dialed the deputy director.

"Zhao Xin, come over here."

After giving the instruction, Liu Desheng hung up the phone and made some tea for Lin Yi.

Soon, a deputy director named Zhao Xin arrived at Liu Desheng’s office.

Seeing Lin Yi sitting there, Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, Director Lin, what brings you here."

In a hurry, Zhao Xin quickened his steps to shake hands with Lin Yi.

"I wanted to talk to you about the land next to Jiuzhou Pavilion, but didn’t expect you guys to be so fast, already signing the contract."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin got a bit nervous.

"Director Lin, if you had come a minute earlier, there wouldn’t be so much trouble."

"So, can you think of a way?" Lin Yi said calmly, "I’m determined to get this land."

"Got it!"

Liu Desheng said:

"Quickly gather the people, re-measure the land’s dimensions, be meticulous, down to two decimal places. The data will surely deviate from what’s stated in the contract, and then we’ll claim the contract is inaccurate and void."

"That’s a great idea!"

Zhao Xin agreed, "I’ll get people on it right away."

"Thank you both for the effort."

"You’re too kind, Director Lin, it was just a small misunderstanding, if you had arrived earlier, it wouldn’t have even concerned them."

"Mainly doing this might cost your reputation a bit."

"Haha..."

Both of them laughed.

"Director Lin, at our level, who’s truly clean?"

"Haha, Liu, you’re one of us."

After covering the serious matters, they exchanged some brief pleasantries and Lin Yi left.

The ground floor of the building was bustling at this time.

Apart from Chen Lin and Xu Chen, several other groups were there to meet Zhao Xin.

Because this thing was under his charge.

Sitting on the lobby’s sofa, different groups were eyeing each other.

They all had a look of caution, having figured out each other’s intentions.

"I have some ties with President Zhao, even had dinner together last week, taking that land is certainly no problem, you guys don’t have to worry."

Speaking was a short-haired man, seemingly talking to himself, addressing his colleague beside him.

Everyone gave him a glance but didn’t say much.

"These people’s news isn’t as reliable as mine, an outsider."

Chen Lin and Xu Chen weren’t affected at all.

In Xu Chen’s view, this matter was already nailed down, the contract was signed, it couldn’t be altered anymore.

Just not understanding why Lin Yi insisted on coming over.

At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and three people walked out.

Among them, two looked familiar to Chen Lin; they were the Rolls-Royce employees encountered yesterday.

"President Chen, they’re people from Rolls-Royce, I’ve seen the two of them yesterday."

"I know," Xu Chen said calmly:

"The woman in the middle, named Dong Jingjing, is BMW’s new sales director."

"Wasn’t she fired previously because of the ice cream incident?"

Xu Chen nodded, "Now replaced by a new team, I heard they even transferred the deputy president from headquarters, followed by research on new energy and autonomous driving technology, there will be a series of major actions, so we’ll need to keep an eye on them."

"Understood."

"Additionally, I heard that leasing this land might not necessarily be for Rolls-Royce, there could be other purposes, explaining why they care so much."

"So that’s what’s happening."

While the two were talking, Dong Jingjing and her team walked to the entrance and recognized Xu Chen.

"Isn’t this Chairman Xu?"

Dong Jingjing smiled and extended her hand.

Xu Chen was polite too, standing up and saying:

"President Dong, what a coincidence meeting here."

"All about the land, we have no choice but to come." Dong Jingjing said with a smile:

"Luckily, persistence pays off; we leased the land."

On hearing this, both Xu Chen and Chen Lin kept their expressions under control as they already knew about this.

But the others who came couldn’t quite accept it.

Despite being well-prepared, they were beaten to it.

"Congratulations then, President Dong."

"Thank you, Chairman Xu, we have other matters, so we’ll leave first. You keep busy."

"Alright."

With that, Dong Jingjing and the team left, the two beside her even giggled mockingly.

"Trying to compete with us, so full of themselves."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen’s expression changed immediately.

"I said not to come, now it’s embarrassing, giving them a chance to show off!"

Chen Lin was momentarily speechless.

Having known Lin Yi for such a long time, though seeming rash, he’s a very reliable person.

No matter how outrageous things seem to outsiders, he manages to solve them.

This time, choosing to believe him was based on prior experiences, unexpectedly without any miracles this time.

At this point, the elevator doors opened again, and Lin Yi walked out.

Seeing Lin Yi, Chen Lin hurriedly walked over, followed by Xu Chen.

"How did the talks go?"

"They signed with the BMW team, we were late."

"If we came earlier?"

"Then there’d have been a chance."

"I said not to come, yet you insisted, now see, heartbroken? Realized your lack of capability?" Xu Chen said indifferently.

"What are you on about? Even if they’ve signed, it’s still possible to snatch it back."
