Chapter 3415: Chapter 3407: Expansion
As an adult, He Li truly understood Lin Yi’s words.
For them, such seemingly ordinary small matters gradually became a luxury after growing up, starting a family, and achieving a career.
"Alright, let’s stop lamenting over this and get to work."
Lin Yi started the car, loading all four vehicles onto the trailer.
Then, he took Ning Che and drove towards the city center.
"Take me to the airport."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi glanced at his watch, "It’s already three in the afternoon, you’re leaving now?"
"I bought a ticket for 5:10."
"Why not stay the night and leave tomorrow?"
"You’ve already come back, so I’m not staying around." Ning Che said:
"We can meet frequently, no need to fuss over these things."
"Alright."
Lin Yi turned the car around and headed towards the airport.
Upon arrival, Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry and sat in the waiting hall with Ning Che, waiting for the flight together.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, there’s a meeting in a few days, are you going?"
"A meeting? What meeting?"
"Consider it a coordination meeting." Ning Che said:
"A meeting between the Central Guard and Dragon Eagle, about future plans, both sides need to cooperate, and this meeting will decide on these matters."
"Group Two and Group Four have already set off, right?"
"They left this morning."
"Then I have to go." Lin Yi said, "To support the old man."
"Before I came, I went to the old man with Yuluo and brought him some documents."
"And then?"
"He asked about Nuonuo."
"Why did he suddenly think of Nuonuo?"
"The old man suddenly brought it up, I even showed him Nuonuo’s photo." Ning Che said:
"He said Nuonuo looks more like you, like you were cut from the same mold."
"Getting old, he’s starting to get nostalgic." Lin Yi sighed a bit.
"Indeed." Ning Che said:
"When I used to see the old man, I didn’t even dare to breathe, I had to hold it in, but now when I see him, it feels like seeing my own grandpa. Many times, he just seems like an ordinary old man."
"If this keeps going, in a few years, the old man’s spirit might just fade away."
"I hope he can hold on for a few more years."
"Yeah."
The two of them continued chatting intermittently, all about trivial matters.
Soon, the airport broadcast announced Ning Che’s boarding call.
Ning Che stood in line, Lin Yi stood not far away, quietly watching Ning Che enter the check-in gate, then turned around and left.
Driving back home, Ji Qingyan was in the yard playing with the child.
"Nuonuo, look, Daddy’s back."
"Daddy..."
Little Nuonuo, with a somewhat unsteady gait, ran towards Lin Yi, who picked her up and nuzzled her face.
This made Little Nuonuo giggle nonstop.
"Cars didn’t sell well?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Seems like you’re not in a good mood."
"Not really." Lin Yi said:
"Do you have time in a few days?"
"Planning a trip?"
"There’s a meeting in Jing City, I plan to take you with me."
"Jing City..."
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, "Is something up?"
"It’s nothing major, just want to take Nuonuo to see the old man."
"Is it Elder Lu?"
"Yes."
"The question is, am I qualified to meet him given my status?"
"Why wouldn’t you be?" Lin Yi said with a smile:
"You’re my family, it’s perfectly normal for you to meet him."
"Then I’ll follow your arrangements."
That night, the family had dinner, and Lin Yi’s life returned to its routine.
The next day, after arriving at the store, Lin Yi uncharacteristically held an early meeting with everyone.
Chen Lin spoke eloquently, clearly and definitively assigning various tasks.
Since becoming the leader, she handled work with more decisiveness and efficiency.
After the meeting, Chen Lin gave Lin Yi a look and called him into the office.
"I heard you had a bit of a conflict with the locals?"
"Do you mean Zhang Jiachun and the others?"
"I don’t know the details, just heard He Li mention it briefly."
"The local oranges aren’t selling well, impacting sales, so I found a way to help them connect with buyers, but there was a minor hiccup at the end, though it’s all sorted now, not a big issue."
"You really are hard to understand sometimes, ignoring what’s important and aggressively pursuing what’s not."
"Look at what you’re saying. I’m an employee at the store, naturally, I need to boost sales." Lin Yi leaned back in the chair, "Working hard isn’t easy, without effort, I wouldn’t even earn enough for baby formula."
"If you were short on money, none of us would survive."
Chen Lin said:
"As the store manager, selling more cars makes me happier, but in the future, don’t get involved in things outside your responsibilities. This isn’t our own business, no need to go to such lengths."
"I understand your point."
Chen Lin was also helpless. If it wasn’t for the system’s tasks, he wouldn’t bother with such troublesome issues.
"Is this the reason you called me over, just to ask about this?"
"Not just that, there’s something else I need to discuss with you."
Chen Lin said:
"The store’s location is small, and with the recent sales momentum being great, the regional headquarters decided to expand the store. The location has already been chosen."
Chen Lin pushed her phone in front of Lin Yi.
"Check out this location, how does it look?"
Lin Yi glanced at it and found it wasn’t far from Jiuzhou Pavilion.
"It doesn’t make much sense for me to look at this, it’s something decided by the higher-ups anyway."
"If we have different opinions, they’ll consider them, but I think this location is good, it’s close to the affluent area."
"The location is indeed good, but our standards don’t match the consumer level of the affluent area, not much necessity."
"Can’t say that, their grocery cars and nanny cars are about our level." Chen Lin said:
"And being near the affluent area can bump our standard up."
"From that perspective, it does make sense."
"If you have no objections, I’ll report it."
"No need to take me too seriously, you all make the decisions, I’m just a salesperson."
"You do like to keep things low-key."
"Don’t put it so bluntly, I’m also very ambitious."
"If you’re ambitious, then come with me for a look."
"Where to?"
"Just to here, to see what the site is like, so I have an idea, then I can discuss the details with the regional office." Chen Lin said:
"Otherwise, I’d be clueless when they ask me."
"I don’t mind, just provide lunch."
"Don’t worry, stick with me, you won’t go hungry."
"Let’s go."
The two walked out of the 4S store in succession, got in the car, and drove towards Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Lin Yi stroked his chin, realizing that since having a child, he hadn’t been back.
Once Nuonuo starts kindergarten, they’ll have to move back to live.
