Chapter 2118: Secret Conversation Between Experts
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The night in Berghain felt peaceful and weighty.
It lacked the flashy chaos of cities like Paree and Toyo, instead giving off the sense of being immersed in a solemn historical atmosphere.
In a workers’ bar, Lin Yi sat in a corner, sipping on a pint of authentic dark beer while scrolling through news on his phone.
“Who burned down the Freemasons’ building in Newyo?”
Lin Yi took a sip of beer and muttered to himself, “Could Ning Che and the others have done it?”
After thinking it over, Lin Yi felt it was a real possibility.
Apart from them, it seemed unlikely anyone else would do such a thing.
At this thought, Lin Yi smiled. “We’re getting more and more in sync.”
He smacked his lips, downed the rest of his beer in one gulp, ordered two burgers to go, and disappeared into the night.
About a dozen hours later, after a layover, Lin Yi arrived in Soul, just around noon local time.
After getting off the plane, Lin Yi took out his phone and called Qi Xianzhao.
“Mr. Lin.”
“Any movement from Samsung?”
“Lee Yongchul has been placed in Soul National University Hospital. Their legal department has already initiated legal proceedings and has also reported the issue to the foreign ministry.”
“And how did our leaders respond?”
“They completely ignored it, labeling it as slander and leaving him hanging.”
Qi Xianzhao chuckled and added,
“Cross-border lawsuits like this are almost impossible to handle. Besides, given your status, the higher-ups certainly won’t let them have their way. The rest of it will just be a matter of dragging things out with them.”
After a brief pause, Qi Xianzhao continued,
“Samsung is likely trying to resolve this through official channels, but I doubt they’ll succeed. What’s more likely is that they’ll resort to commercial tactics to pressure us, and that’s something we need to guard against.”
“On top of that, for Samsung to grow to this point, there’s no way they’ve kept their hands clean. I’m worried they might get desperate and do something extreme.”
“It’s not a big issue; I’ll handle it,” Lin Yi replied.
“Have you arranged everything I asked for earlier?”
“Yes, everything’s set up,” Qi Xianzhao confirmed.
“It’s at a place in Soul called Furong Hall, private room 203. The meeting time is 1:30 in the afternoon.”
Lin Yi glanced at his watch. “Perfect timing. I’ll go handle this first. We’ll talk later.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up with Qi Xianzhao, Lin Yi adjusted his mask and baseball cap, waved down a taxi, and headed to Furong Hall.
In Soul, Furong Hall was a high-end restaurant.
Though it wasn’t Michelin-rated, its unique decor and top-quality ingredients had earned it quite a reputation.
At precisely 1:30 in the afternoon, Lin Yi arrived at Furong Hall. After surveying the surroundings, he went upstairs and found private room 203.
Knock knock knock!
Lin Yi knocked on the door, and a soft voice came from inside.
“Come in.”
Lin Yi pushed the door open. Inside sat a woman dressed in a black tailored suit, paired with a white shirt and black high heels.
Her hair wasn’t long, with slightly curled ends, and she looked around thirty-five or thirty-six. She exuded an air of sharp professionalism.
“Ms. Ji…”
As the door opened, the woman stood up, but when she saw Lin Yi, her expression froze.
The person entering was not who she had expected.
“Who are you?”
The woman eyed Lin Yi warily, instinctively stepping back, her expression cold and guarded.
She had agreed to this meeting because of Ji Qingyan.
She had always admired Ji Qingyan.
She even envied her for running her own company, something she herself could not do.
But now, standing before her was someone entirely different, stirring doubt in her mind.
“Ms. Lee, no need to be so hostile. My girlfriend couldn’t make it, so I’m here in her place to discuss some matters.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi removed his mask, revealing his face.
“You’re President Lin from Lingyun Group?”
