Chapter 4178: Chapter 4166: Meeting Zhao Wenwei

About ten minutes later, Jiang Wenhui came back.

"How did the talk go with them?"

"That woman said it’s a bit over budget, said she needs to go back and reconsider, and also asked me to bring a message to you, whether we can do it as originally said, with a 200 yuan discount on rent for each apartment."

"No way, if they want to rent, they rent."

"Got it, but..."

"But what?"

Jiang Wenhui sighed, "Boss, I’ve said it, but don’t get angry."

"Go ahead, it doesn’t matter."

"Normally, when people rent so many apartments, giving some incentives and discounts is quite normal, so since there was a minor incident, we shouldn’t let money slip away."

Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi, "You do big business, you definitely understand more than I do, surely you can see the logic in this, there’s no need to wrestle with them."

"You mentioned I do big business, so I don’t care about this bit of rent from them. Whether they rent or not is irrelevant, it doesn’t affect me at all. The reason I’m doing this is just to teach them a lesson." Lin Yi said:

"Rich people might be arrogant and unreasonable, so naturally, someone has to remind them to be humble at all times, so not a penny less, rent if they want."

"So you’re doing this out of personal motivation, not from a profit perspective," Jiang Wenhui said.

"You are quite perceptive, keep up the good work, I’ll raise your salary next month."

"No, no, no, you can’t raise my salary." Jiang Wenhui quickly said:

"You already pay me quite well. If you raise my salary again, Little Ying might actually think there’s something between us. If such talk reaches your wife’s ears, I’d be out of a job."

"You’ve thought it through quite a bit." Lin Yi said with a laugh:

"By the way, it’s been quite a while since we’ve known each other, and I realized I haven’t asked you this, are you married?"

"I was, but divorced, now I’m just working here alone."

"Have you thought of finding someone again?"

"Definitely thought about it, but whether I can find someone is uncertain; after all, I’ve been divorced, age isn’t on my side, and I lack any advantage in the marriage market, so right now I hold a whatever-attitude, I’ll remarry if I find the right person, if not, I’ll spend my life alone—at least I’ll have freedom without much hassle."

"Your attitude is really not bad."

"Of course, without a good attitude, I might have developed depression by now."

"So..."

Midway through the conversation, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was Xiao Bing calling.

"Lin Bro has helped make arrangements, meet today at noon, 12 o’clock, head over now, meet at the front of their department, and I’ll send you his contact info in a bit."

Lin Yi looked at the watch, it was already past 11.

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi picked up his car keys.

"I’ve got some matters to attend to, won’t chat with you further."

"Alright, drive safely."

Taking the keys, Lin Yi drove away from the apartment, heading to Zhonghai Jiaotong University.

He sped all the way and arrived at the entrance of the Biomedical Engineering College before noon.

When he got there, he didn’t see anyone and called Zhao Wenwei.

"Teacher Zhao, I’m Lin Yi, we arranged to meet at noon at the college entrance."

"Alright, I’m heading down now, please wait a moment."

Zhao Wenwei’s voice was strong, he seemed to be in good condition.

"No problem, take your time."

In the Biomedical Engineering College office, Zhao Wenwei hung up the phone, closed the paper on his desk, and stood up.

Judging by his looks, Zhao Wenwei was about 60 or older, with a mix of black and white hair, somewhat portly, yet appeared robust.

Standing beside him was a young woman of about thirty, dressed in black cropped pants and flats, with a white blouse—the attire was very intellectual.

The woman’s name was Li Qingyue, she was Zhao Wenwei’s student.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet someone, then have lunch together."

"Teacher, Professor Wang’s paper said it’s urgent for publication, aren’t you going to look at it?"

"His matters can wait, the person we’re meeting today is important, delay is unacceptable."

"Is it just the leader coming?"

"No, it’s people from the military wanting to learn about the Black Teeth Worm incident years ago in Ailao Mountain. You’ve been researching this field for years, I’m bringing you along for an insightful conversation."

Li Qingyue looked at her current outfit.

"Teacher, should I go back and change into something more formal? Is this outfit too casual?"

"This suit is fine, clean and neat is crucial, it’s not like they’re antiques who care about such things."

"Got it."

The two walked out of the building, and as they reached the entrance, they saw Lin Yi.

With mutual eye contact, they knew they found the right person.

Lin Yi approached first, extending his hand, "You must be Zhao Wenwei, President Zhao."

Zhao Wenwei extended his hand to shake hands with Lin Yi, and then Li Qingyue also reached out to shake hands.

"Your colleague already told me on the call, saying her leader wants to know about the incident years ago in Ailao Mountain. Is he not coming today, or are you escorting us over?"

"I’m the one who wants to see you, Teacher Zhao," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Ah? You’re looking for me?"

Both were slightly surprised and shocked.

Lin Yi’s age didn’t fit their preconceived ideas.

They thought he’d be at least 40 or 50 years old, but he turned out to be quite young.

At this point, Lin Yi pulled out a credential to confirm his identity.

Seeing the rank on the credential, the two were utterly astonished.

Achieving this level at such a young age is not something everyone can do; the future development of such a person has boundless possibilities.

"You young folks are really impressive, achieving so much at a tender age, it really makes one look at you with fresh eyes."

"President Zhao praises me too much, it’s just good fortune," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"I’ve reserved a place, let’s head over to eat and talk."

"Alright."

Initially, Zhao Wenwei intended to drive himself, but Lin Yi invited him into his car, and they went to Huayan Restaurant near the school. They settled in a reserved private room, ordered dishes, and started the meal with two bottles of wine.

"Let’s talk straight, which aspects do you want to know?"

Generally speaking, the matters concerning Ailao Mountain are not openly discussed.

But over the phone, Xiao Bing had already explained the situation to Wenwei and obtained permission from relevant departments, otherwise he wouldn’t come to this meal.

"I want to understand what kind of creature the Black Teeth Worm is, whether it’s geographically specific, only existing near Ailao Mountain."
