Chapter 4151: Coincidence

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Liu Wenju left the office, taking a while to calm his racing heart.

Luckily, he managed to collect himself without making a fool of himself, or else he’d be in trouble.

As for Xu Yilin, it’s unlikely she’ll get this project anymore.

Soon, Liu Wenju returned to the office.

Seeing Liu Wenju come in, Xu Yilin stood up, "President Liu."

"Chairman Xu, I’ll be straightforward with you. Regarding the Fenglin International Apartment matter, it probably won’t proceed further."

"Hmm?"

Xu Yilin was stunned, "President Liu, how come..."

"Here’s how it is: our President Pan has already negotiated this matter, so..."

Liu Wenju didn’t elaborate too much, trusting that Xu Yilin would understand his meaning.

"Negotiated!"

Xu Yilin frowned.

Her mind conjured up the image of Lin Yi.

Could it be that he and Pan Zhiyuan secured the deal?

Who exactly is that man?

"President Liu, have you already signed the contract?"

"This shouldn’t be the case; I’d estimate they discussed specific intentions."

Regarding Lin Yi, Liu Wenju had heard a bit.

Despite being a big shot in the business world, he was incredibly low-key; few people had actually seen him, and he never appeared in public settings.

Now that he’s involved in this matter, I can’t say much more.

If I annoy him, my days won’t go well either.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, President Liu."

"I apologize sincerely; I didn’t expect our President Pan would personally manage this matter."

"No problem, we’ll have chances to collaborate in the future."

With that, the two shook hands, and Xu Yilin left.

But in her heart, doubts persisted, and the image of Lin Yi lingered.

Though quite masculine, his attire didn’t quite match someone of executive level.

Probably someone else is involved.

Ring, ring—

Just as she left the building, Xu Yilin’s phone rang; it was a call from the company president.

"Yilin, how did it go? Did you finalize the deal?"

"President Gao, there’s a minor issue; someone approached Pan Zhiyuan and snatched the project."

"How did this happen? Wasn’t Liu Wenju supposed to be fully in charge of this?"

"I’m not sure about the details, but I’ll think of a way to see if we can reclaim this project."

"Do your best; it’s our first step in Zhong Hai. If this doesn’t go through, it’ll badly affect our company. Please try again."

"Understood."

Ending the call, Xu Yilin appeared serious.

As per Liu Wenju’s words, they haven’t signed any contract yet, only reached preliminary intentions.

If she pushes a bit further and inquiries internally, perhaps there’s still a chance.

At that moment, Xu Yilin saw Lin Yi coming out of the building, so she went up to him.

"Hello, sir."

Seeing Lin Yi, Xu Yilin greeted politely, extending her hand.

Glancing at the woman before him, Lin Yi found her familiar, suddenly realizing she was the one he met in the elevator.

"What’s up?" Lin Yi also reached out to shake her hand.

"Are you aware of the sale of the Fenglin International Apartment?"

I bought it, how could I not know?

"I know, why?"

"Do you know who bought it and moved it?"

Lin Yi looked at the woman, "Why do you ask?"

"I’m the general manager of Xingkai Group; my name is Xu Yilin. This project is very critical for us, so I want to learn about the related details." Xu Yilin said:

"Didn’t you just meet President Pan, do you know who discussed this project with him?"

Lin Yi looked with interest at Xu Yilin, "What good is it if you know? The initial intentions have been reached, you have no chance."

"Not necessarily." Xu Yilin confidently replied.

"How not necessarily?"

"We could find a way to negotiate again with President Pan."

"So confident?"

"This is part of our Xingkai Group’s commercial blueprint in Zhong Hai, so it’s imperative."

"Xingkai Group..."

Lin Yi muttered, feeling some familiarity, yet not very familiar, as though he had heard about it somewhere, but didn’t recall.

"Sounds somewhat familiar."

"If you don’t know Xingkai Group, you’ll surely know Litong Group. Last month, we just accepted a 4.8 billion investment from Litong Group."

Xu Yilin was clever, bringing up a larger backing, trying to coax Lin Yi into conversation.

Litong Group?

Isn’t that Xiao Bing’s family’s company?

"What’s the point of saying all this?"

"I intend to show I’m not lying; we are determined to acquire this project and want to know specific details of who discussed it with President Pan."

"You’re quite persistent."

"Because it’s a joint project with Litong Group." Xu Yilin said:

"Considering Pan Zhiyuan might sell off the commercial complex later on, we need to prepare in advance, or it won’t be easy to explain to Litong Group."

"Who’s in charge of this project?"

"President Xiao of Litong Group." Xu Yilin brought out an even stronger backing, intending to use this method to persuade Lin Yi.

"Which President Xiao? Xiao Bing?"

Hmm?

Xu Yilin looked at Lin Yi, surprised he knew Our Miss Xiao.

"Yes."

Lin Yi smiled, finding this amusing.

Earlier, he had advised them to focus on family business; exactly as he recommended, they followed through.

"I’m the one who negotiated it."

Xu Yilin: ???

"You bought the Fenglin International Apartment?"

"Why wouldn’t I be able to buy it?"

"This..."

For a moment, Xu Yilin didn’t know what to say, swallowing all her words.

"Don’t worry about this, just head back."

With that, Lin Yi took out his phone and dialed Xiao Bing.

"Lin Bro." Receiving Lin Yi’s call, Xiao Bing spoke cheerfully.

"Are you collaborating with a company called Xingkai for a project in Zhong Hai?"

Since not far away, Xu Yilin clearly heard Lin Yi’s words, truly startled.

Who is he calling?

The tone suggests it’s someone from Litong Group.

And high-ranking.

"Lin Bro, you know everything, don’t you? It seems nothing in Zhong Hai can escape your notice."

"Mainly, I bought this building, and meeting someone from Xingkai Group revealed the project is your initiative."

"Didn’t you always tell us not to abandon family business? So I thought I’d take a chance." Xiao Bing said:

"Since you bought it, we’ll look at other projects."

"What you have your eye on, I won’t touch." Lin Yi said:

"Wait a few months; I need it first, and let your subsequent projects proceed as planned."

"Hehe, thank you, Lin Bro, love ya."
