“At her age, murder is impossible, there must be an accomplice.”
“But now, it seems like there aren’t any clues left, I have no idea where to start,” Gu Yiran said.
Everyone fell silent, this was currently the biggest difficulty.
Because there was nothing to investigate, no suspicious individuals had been found, so there was no way to proceed.
Ring, ring, ring—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang, it was a call from He Yuanyuan.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Yi asked seriously.
During this time, the check-ups on Ji Qingyan were all followed by her, and he was worried there might be an issue on Ji Qingyan’s end.
“Are you busy right now?”
“What is it?”
“People from Apple Company are here,” He Yuanyuan said:
“We had a meeting this morning, but many issues were left unresolved, they hope to speak to you directly.”
“Their business, huh…”
Lin Yi mumbled to himself, before this, Qi Xianzhao had already given him a heads-up.
But during the time after the New Year, he had many things on his mind and had no interest in dealing with these matters, leaving them to Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan.
He didn’t expect that now, she would call him.
“You and Old Qi are there, and you can’t settle this matter?”
“The main point is they want to face you directly,” He Yuanyuan said:
“Or rather, they don’t really take us seriously.”
“Alright then, I’ll go have a look.”
Lin Yi stretched and decided to go out to change the mood.
After greeting everyone, Lin Yi drove to Lingyun Group.
On the way there, Lin Yi thought it had been several months since he last went to the company.
He really wasn’t living up to the role of a CEO.
…
Inside the conference room of Lingyun Group.
Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, Tian Yan, and several other executives were all present.
Opposite them, three foreigners were seated, whispering among themselves.
“What do you think Director Lin will say about their project?” Tian Yan whispered.
“It hasn’t passed with us here, so naturally, it’s impossible for him to approve,” He Yuanyuan replied:
“In my opinion, it’s unlikely to proceed, they’ll probably get an earful.”
He Yuanyuan, the CFO of the company, had a sensitivity to money that surpassed everyone else.
In her view, the project was not worthwhile, and even if the other party was Apple, there was no need to cooperate.
On the other hand, the representatives from Apple Company were confidently discussing among themselves.
“Their CEO, what’s he doing, how can he not show up for such an important meeting?”
The speaker was a blonde, blue-eyed woman named Ophena, holding the same position as He Yuanyuan as Apple Company’s CFO.
“He’s retired, so he entrusted his responsibilities to the other executives,” said Almo, Apple’s Global Vice President.
“Are you confident about this project?” asked Zach, a black man who was responsible for Apple’s new energy vehicle business.
“Of course,” Almo said:
“Although these people are executives of Lingyun Group, their international vision is nothing compared to that exceptional young CEO. Their view is too narrow; they’re rejecting this cooperation which I completely fail to understand, it’s disappointing.”
“This is clearly a win-win deal, and through cooperation with us, they would earn reputation and increase their global presence. For any Chinese enterprise, such an opportunity is rare, and yet they are choosing not to cooperate. If in the future, the company remains under their control, it’s hard to imagine any long-term growth.”
“Yeah, after all, other companies are begging to work with us.”
Soon, footsteps were heard in the hallway, and Lin Yi pushed open the door from outside and saw representatives from his company and Apple Company.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Qi Xianzhao and the others stood up to greet him; he nodded in response.
“Director Lin, hello.”
Almo stood up, approached Lin Yi, and reached out his hand.
After shaking hands with the three individuals, Lin Yi returned to his seat.
“Could you explain the specifics to me?”
“It’s like this, we are planning to launch an electric vehicle business this year, and you guys hold 34% of the global battery market share, so we hope to work with you in this area.”
