Chapter 3664: Chapter 3656: No One Gets Off Easy

After the Big Treasure Sword ended, Qin Han wanted to invite Lin Yi to the bar for drinks.

But since Li Chuhan wasn’t on duty today, Lin Yi didn’t go for a second round of drinks.

Then, he asked three people to cover for him, as he wouldn’t be going home tonight.

On the way, Lin Yi bought some late-night snacks.

He drove to Li Chuhan’s house.

Li Chuhan, wearing a red nightgown, greeted Lin Yi at the door.

"You actually bought so many things."

"Didn’t have much to do, so let’s have a drink together tonight," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"You’ll be driving later, better drink less."

A hint of delight appeared on Li Chuhan’s face.

"It’s nice of you to come and sit for a while, no need to keep me company all the time."

"What kind of talk is that? Don’t you want me here?"

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes rolled at Lin Yi.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Lin Yi chuckled, and Li Chuhan gave him a pair of slippers.

Then, she went to the kitchen and got some plates.

She placed all the late-night snacks Lin Yi bought on them.

Lin Yi opened two bottles of beer and handed one to Li Chuhan.

Outside the window was a bright moon, and they clinked glasses gently.

Lin Yi drained his glass in one go, while Li Chuhan took a small sip.

The ambiance was just right, perfectly beautiful.

"I heard from Auntie that you went to the Middle East a few days ago."

"There was a task over there, went for a few days."

Lin Yi said with a smile:

"But don’t worry, I didn’t get hurt this time."

"Mm, as long as you’re back safe."

Lin Yi chuckled, "There’s something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Let’s have a child. What do you think?"

Li Chuhan was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Yi.

She didn’t come back to her senses for quite a while.

"No."

"Hm?"

This answer was unexpected for Lin Yi.

Even though he was discussing it with her, he didn’t expect her to refuse.

"Is it that you don’t want one right now?"

"Mm."

Li Chuhan nodded gently.

But she avoided Lin Yi’s gaze, not daring to look at him.

After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Yi sensed something was off.

"Could it be that my mom talked to you about this, and you think it’s her who wants this, not my true intention?"

"No, don’t think like that," Li Chuhan said softly.

"Stop denying it. Don’t think I can’t see through your little thoughts."

Lin Yi said while eating:

"This matter has nothing to do with her. It was always in my plan, she just happened to bring it up. Whether or not to have a child, it has nothing to do with her. It’s my own idea."

Li Chuhan looked up at Lin Yi.

"Really?"

"Do you think anyone can control my thoughts?"

"Hehe."

"Eat more, so you’ll have the energy to work. I aim to achieve a grand harmony of life tonight, hoping to succeed in one go."

Li Chuhan’s face turned crimson, "Don’t talk nonsense."

After planning the evening well, they had a bit more to drink.

After bathing, they returned to the room and engaged in a harmonious life movement.

That night, both of them slept particularly well.

The next morning, because she had to work, Li Chuhan got up early to make breakfast.

Lin Yi didn’t sleep in either; he got up while Li Chuhan was cooking.

"Considering you’re the head of the department, do you really need to go to work on time every day? It wouldn’t hurt to get up a bit later."

"It’s a habit, plus as the head, I have to set an example for them, being late wouldn’t be good."

"It’s truly their good fortune to have a leader like you."

Lin Yi said with a smile:

"But I want to know, can the department function without you now? Will it still run normally?"

Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi.

"You’re not thinking of having me resign, are you?"

"How could I?" Lin Yi said while wiping his face:

"If by any chance we succeed in one go, then you’ll have to leave the hospital job."

"It probably won’t happen that fast, right?"

"It’s not something that can be predicted," Lin Yi said:

"My mom said, if it really happens, she wants you to go to the Middle East. If you don’t want to, she can come back. Anyway, you two often chat, you can make arrangements yourselves."

"No need for such trouble, I’m a doctor myself, I can handle many things on my own, no need for you all to worry about me."

"You should tell my mom that, what’s the point of telling me?"

"But even if I tell Auntie, she won’t listen to me," Li Chuhan said with grievance.

"Then that’s your problem, it’s beyond my control."

"You’re both bullying me."

"Yes, we’re bullying you, what can you do about us?"

"Hmph."

While talking, Li Chuhan finished making breakfast.

After bringing it to the table, the two had a simple meal.

After eating, they each drove to work.

As for the seeds planted last night, whether they will blossom and bear fruit depends on fate.

Leaving Li Chuhan’s house, Lin Yi went to the company.

Then went to Qi Xianzhao’s office.

"Director Lin, the invitations for the press conference have been sent out. All the network people are very supportive and will be coming the day after tomorrow,"

Qi Xianzhao said:

"Yesterday, we had another meeting and still think that having Director Lin host the press conference would be best."

"In general, that’s fine, but right now I’m not suitable for exposure as it will attract a lot of unnecessary trouble. You and Boss Shen should host it together."

"Understood."

Qi Xianzhao took a document and handed it to Lin Yi.

"Regarding the remaining 15%, the only irreplaceable parts are the light source and the EDA software."

Qi Xianzhao said:

"We have shares in the light source manufacturers, so there’s no need to worry for now. It’s just that our R&D progress is faster than theirs. If we can’t come up with a better light source in the short term, our R&D progress may slow down, but that’s not the priority right now."

"Previously, we collaborated with the Li family on EDA industrial software, forcing the Beautiful Country to lift their ban. But now, the R&D progress still doesn’t meet our needs, so I’m very concerned about this point. If actions are taken against us here, it could be a big blow."

"The world’s largest EDA supplier is Synopsys, right?"

"Yes, their revenue last year was nearly 3.4 billion dollars, accounting for 32% worldwide."

"Look into this company’s shareholding structure."

"Director Lin, are you planning to take action from this angle?"

"This is our weakest link, so naturally, we need to find a way to fill it, we can’t give them an opportunity."

"But facing Synopsys, we actually have very little influence," Qi Xianzhao said:

"Moreover, they are also involved in this action, and both sides are now on opposing stances, so there’s not much room to maneuver."

"No worries, just do as I say."

Lin Yi said with a smile:

"Just because others don’t have room to move doesn’t mean I don’t. This is not only a breakthrough for us but also for them. If it goes down to the wire, nobody wins."
