Chapter 3424: Chapter 3416: Cooperation with Lingyun Group

Liu Desheng’s words left everyone present in utter amazement.

Especially Chen Lin and Xu Chen.

They hadn’t even started discussions, yet the contract was already prepared. To them, this was simply unbelievable.

"Thank you, President Liu."

Lin Yi took the contract and handed it to the two women.

"Which one of you is going to sign?"

"I, I’ll sign."

Xu Chen took the contract and signed it.

With that, the agreement officially came into effect.

And just at that moment, a system notification sounded.

[Task Complete: Reward of 200,000 Master level driving skills.]

[Job completion rate: 80%, Cash reward: 2 billion dollars.]

Lin Yi shrugged, feeling indifferent about the 2 billion cash reward.

"President Liu, hadn’t we agreed earlier, so why lease this land to them?"

Clearly, Dong Jingjing couldn’t swallow this indignation and wanted an explanation.

Liu Desheng shot a stern glance at Dong Jingjing, his presence commanding.

"I’ve already said, it’s a company secret, not something outsiders should ask about."

Chastised once, Dong Jingjing didn’t dare utter another word.

After all, as the client, they had the upper hand, and her status meant nothing before them.

Meanwhile, Xu Chen signed her name on it and handed the contract back to her secretary.

"President Liu, it’s signed."

Liu Desheng extended his hand and shook hands with Xu Chen.

"Pleasure working with you."

"Thank you, President Liu, for the opportunity, pleasure working with you too."

Liu Desheng then extended his hand to Lin Yi, exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving.

Seeing both parties signed the contract, everyone else left reluctantly.

Chen Lin and Xu Chen were both curious about what had happened, but with so many people around, it wasn’t convenient to ask more and had to wait until they got back to talk.

"President Dong, it seems things didn’t go as you thought; we rented that land."

Dong Jingjing’s face was quite grim; if it wasn’t a public setting, she might have started cursing.

"It’s just a piece of land anyway, it’s fine if you have it," Dong Jingjing said:

"After all, whether it’s R&D or market reputation, you’re all quite a bit behind; I don’t care about this part."

"Then we must thank President Dong for your generosity."

With a hint of sarcasm, Chen Lin and Xu Chen got into their car.

Looking at the signed agreement in their hands, both felt like they were in a dream.

In this case, they felt they had done nothing, yet they foolishly got the land.

"Why do I feel like something’s not quite right here?"

Xu Chen looked at Lin Yi, "Did you have something to do with this?"

"I’m not Ning Cai Chen, how could I have anything to do with it?"

"They claimed the area was incorrect and needed re-measurement; I felt it was just an excuse, clearly not wanting to lease the land to them."

After thinking, Xu Chen continued:

"And this time, we hadn’t even discussed anything, yet they proactively brought the contract over, as if they specifically wanted to lease this land to us."

"I get the same feeling; there’s no such thing as a pie in the sky."

Both women simultaneously looked at Lin Yi, seeking the reason in him.

"Yesterday I bought cigarettes, wine, and tea for a total of 32,000. Chairman Xu said, if this gets done, she would personally cover the cost and give me an additional 10,000 yuan bonus, totaling 42,000. Chairman Xu, will it be cash or a transfer?"

"Don’t worry, you won’t miss a cent."

"The bonus will come from the store, can’t have Chairman Xu covering it all," Chen Lin said:

"But I am quite curious, how did you manage it?"

"I just went over and had a chat with them yesterday, used my exceptional business skills to win over Liu Desheng."

"Quit joking; if it was a woman, I might believe you, but there’s no way a guy would buy into your act."

"Is he perhaps gay?"

Xu Chen cast an evil eye at Lin Yi.

"Thanks for the hard work, making such a big sacrifice for the company, I’ll add another 10,000 for you."

"If you say so, I’ll have to ask President Liu if he has such a preference."

Then, Lin Yi really dialed up Liu Desheng’s number.

"Stop, stop!"

Xu Chen stopped Lin Yi.

"But I’m really curious how you managed to deal with him."

"To quote Liu Desheng, it’s a secret, not for outsiders to ask."

Chen Lin gently nudged Xu Chen, also signaling her to stop asking.

Chen Lin had experienced Lin Yi’s abilities; there seemed to be nothing he couldn’t handle.

Xu Chen also knew Lin Yi didn’t want to say more, so she sagaciously held her tongue.

"Let’s go find a place to eat; I’ll treat you."

Xu Chen looked at Lin Yi and said:

"Today you’re the hero, pick anywhere you like."

"Sounds good to me."

Lin Yi drove them not to any particularly expensive place.

He found a Sichuan restaurant with good flavors and ordered a few side dishes.

"Chairman Xu, since the site’s been leased, when can we start construction?"

"We’ll likely start soon, but I’m not sure about the exact date," Xu Chen said:

"The headquarters might have other plans for this store of yours."

"Other plans?"

"New energy is getting more popular; it’s going to be a big trend. You must have heard about this when you visited the headquarters; there will be large-scale investment in this field."

"What’s the connection with a new showroom?"

"There might be a separate showroom to display new energy models and new R&D technologies."

"I see," Chen Lin nodded:

"But I feel we’re a bit late to the game; many domestic new energy brands have gotten ahead."

"Previous technology wasn’t mature, but it’s different now," Xu Chen said:

"Lingyun Group is the most advanced domestically in autonomous driving, big data collection, and many other software areas. I heard the headquarters has already reached an initial cooperation intent with Lingyun Group, so now is a very good time to get involved."

Hearing Xu Chen’s words, Lin Yi realized they also had a collaboration with Lingyun Group.

Xu Chen paused and continued:

"I guess Dong Jingjing was eager to rent that piece of land with a similar plan."

"So that’s how it is."

"Do your best; once the expansion is complete, this will be Zhonghai’s largest 4S store. Your status in Zhonghai District and at Jing City headquarters will rise correspondingly. If the high sales continue, in a couple of years, you might even be transferred to headquarters."

"I can’t take all the credit; Lin Yi deserves some too."

"Apart from his personality, his ability is indeed commendable. Director Wang has privately mentioned it to me many times."

"Hold on, what do you mean by apart from his personality, are you saying I have a personality issue?"

"Whether you do or not, you know," Xu Chen rolled her eyes, with some charming attitude.

"You can’t say I have a personality issue just because I looked at President Chen’s legs and not yours, right? You should consider your own reasons."
