Chapter 3355: Mr. Kroter’s Rebuke

"President Zhang, why not take Lin Yi along?"

Chen Lin stepped in to mediate, saying:

"Because of that previous test drive, Mr. Kroter has quite a good impression of Lin Yi, and he can speak German, which would be convenient."

"It’s just knowing a foreign language, no big deal. Normally, we bring a translator anyway." Zhang Ying said with a smile:

"As for Mr. Kroter, you don’t have to worry too much; he won’t mind."

"That’s great then."

Lin Yi stood up and said:

"I actually didn’t want to go, so you guys go ahead and eat."

Lin Yi got up and left the table, and Chen Lin stood up too and left the private room with him, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Don’t take her seriously."

"I didn’t take her seriously at all," Lin Yi said:

"Besides, you know, I didn’t want to go anyway. I have things to do here, and someone else covering the airfare isn’t bad."

"I know you didn’t want to go, but she said that on purpose to give you a hard time."

"It’s nothing," Lin Yi said:

"Go back and eat."

"I’ll walk you downstairs."

"No need, go back."

Without saying anything more, Lin Yi went downstairs.

Chen Lin felt helpless too and could only turn back, after all, she still needed the job.

Back in the private room, the atmosphere seemed to have changed somewhat.

Everyone ate with politeness and restraint, even though Wang Heng made efforts to liven things up, it was just surface-level harmony.

Even Zhao Chunlei and Xu Yang felt Zhang Ying’s actions were very inappropriate.

She lost the demeanor expected of a leader.

After leaving, Lin Yi went to Liang Ruoxu’s place.

Only she and the nanny were at home.

Shen Shuyi and the others had gone to her grandpa’s house for something.

"Back so early?" Liang Ruoxu, who was coaxing a child, asked upon seeing Lin Yi:

"I thought you had dinner plans today?"

"Don’t have to go."

"Don’t have to go?"

Lin Yi picked up the child and told Liang Ruoxu what had happened.

"Isn’t she giving you a hard time?" Liang Ruoxu said coldly:

"Honestly, they push it too far."

"Calm down, Director Liang, it’s not that serious," Lin Yi said:

"In life, aren’t there people like this everywhere?"

"I can ignore others, but not when it comes to bullying you."

"Haha..."

Lin Yi laughed loudly:

"There are so many people who try to act tough with me, I can’t even bother dealing with them all. Keep it cool, it’s no big deal, need to have a broad outlook."

"What kind of outlook does a woman need," Liang Ruoxu said:

"If I were there, I would have slapped her."

"Calm down, it’s not worth it."

Even after having a child, Liang Ruoxu’s fiery temper hadn’t changed.

The title of the Miss of Jing City wasn’t for nothing.

That night, they were intimate again, wrapping up only in the latter half of the night.

Early the next morning, Lin Yi received a message from Chen Lin.

Saying that if he wanted to go back, he could return to Zhong Hai, and if not, he could stay in Jing City, and the expenses would be covered by the company.

After reading the message, Lin Yi replied with an OK gesture, and then drove to the Central Guards Brigade.

Qiu Yuluo and Tao Cheng were also there.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Lin Yi, Qiu Yuluo said in surprise.

"Bored, came to take a look," Lin Yi said:

"How are things on the island?"

"The wind has changed," Qiu Yuluo said:

"Friction among major organizations has decreased significantly, and they’ve all speeded up their progress intentionally or unintentionally, which may have something to do with your dad and the others."

"Hmm? How so?"

"They’ve already reached the无人 area, a more mysterious territory where no one knows what’s hidden inside," Qiu Yuluo said:

"I guess people from other organizations realized that endless conflict is pointless, so they sped up their progress."

Lin Yi nodded, acknowledging that this was a possibility too.

"What about the Kaijie Group, how’s their situation?"

"I talked to Xiao Bing yesterday. Based on the information gathered and the company’s recent moves, it can be determined that they’ve indeed increased their investment in biotech research," Qiu Yuluo said:

"But Kaijie’s confidentiality is stronger than we imagined, we only got some surface intel."

Stopping for a moment, Qiu Yuluo continued:

"At this rate, we probably won’t get much result. If secret infiltration is possible, we should get some useful information."

"Whoever wants to infiltrate can do it, we’re not going."

"Knew you’d say that."

"Alright, it’s the weekend, can we not talk about work?" Tao Cheng said:

"The weather’s nice today, let’s go out, barbecue, and have some drinks."

"Sounds good."

...

Airport.

The vehicle Chen Lin and the others were in had already parked in the parking lot.

Due to the auto show, Vice President Kroter also came along, so on this trip back to headquarters, they were to go together.

They were just waiting there for everyone to gather.

But because of yesterday’s incident, the atmosphere in the car remained a bit heavy.

Yet Zhang Ying was completely oblivious, behaving as if nothing happened, even casually chatting with Han Xu.

"President Zhang, Mr. Kroter’s car has arrived."

Upon hearing Wang Heng’s reminder, everyone instinctively looked outside.

They saw a black A8 parked in the lot.

"Let’s go, get out of the car."

Zhang Ying called out, and others gathered their things and got out one after another.

Simultaneously, Kroter’s driver opened the car door.

"Mr. Kroter, it’s an honor to be traveling back to headquarters with you."

Zhang Ying also conversed with Kroter in German.

"The honor is mine as well."

Kroter replied courteously while looking around the crowd.

"Where is Lin Yi? Isn’t he also going on this visit?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying’s face showed a trace of panic.

She knew the test drive made Kroter have a favorable impression of Lin Yi.

But she didn’t anticipate he’d specifically ask about it today.

"He just started recently, so we gave the spot to other senior employees."

Kroter’s expression changed.

"Why couldn’t you add another spot!"

Kroter raised his voice, clearly very displeased with Zhang Ying’s decision.

"Zhonghai Auto Show’s high sales were all due to him; he’s entirely qualified to visit the headquarters, and you didn’t bring him. I believe this reflects your incompetence."

Zhang Ying’s panic was no longer hidden, and she even appeared a bit fearful.

This level of reprimand was quite severe.

Both Zhao Chunlei and Xu Yang were somewhat taken aback.

They hadn’t realized the distinguished Kroter valued Lin Yi so much.

"If Lin Yi can’t visit headquarters, you all shouldn’t go either."
