Chapter 1229: Just Like His Father

Under Shen Shuyi"s lead, the three of them arrived at the staff canteen.

However, the three of them came to a slightly different spot from the usual dining area. Only the executives of the corporation could come here to eat. The chefs were all five-star chefs, so the standard of food was quite high.

The only thing different when eating compared to the restaurants outside was the environment.

Moreover, with the relationship Shen Shuyi had with the two of them, the choice of location would not affect anything.

The three of them sat down. Shen Shuyi ordered some special dishes from the canteen, then asked someone to wash the fruits and pushed them in front of Qin Yingyue.

"Try this cherry. He planted it himself. I"ve eaten it once before. It tastes quite good."

Even though she had already sat down, Qin Yingyue still felt a little uneasy.

"I won"t have any. You should do it."

"Why won"t you eat it? This kind of fruit can only be eaten here. Try it quickly. It tastes especially good."

Unable to dissuade Shen Shuyi, Qin Yingyue picked one up and tasted it. She realized that the taste was indeed not bad.

However, she was not in the mood to pay attention to this at all. She was focused on Lin Yi.

Delighted?

Embarra.s.sed?

Excited?

Uneasy?

Terrified?

All her emotions were intertwined at this moment, even affecting her usual calm and elegant temperament.

Soon, four dishes and a soup were served. The three of them officially started their lunch.

Qin Yingyue, who was originally very talkative, became much less so. She only occasionally echoed Lin Yi and Shen Shuyi"s conversation.

"A few days ago, you beat up Qin Yanling of the Qin family, right?"

"You heard about this?"

"Yanjing is only so big, so news spreads very quickly," Shen Shuyi said.

"I heard that they even went to argue with Elder Lu, but Elder Lu ignored them."

"Are you really that arrogant that you don"t even care about the Qin family?"

In Lin Yi"s impression, although the Qin family had declined, they still had some influence in Yanjing. Regardless of how he felt, he ought to show them some respect.

However, she did not expect Lu Beichen to be so cool with it.

"Forget now, even when the w.a.n.g family was the number one family, Elder Lu was still someone who could do whatever he wanted in Yanjing. He never took anyone seriously," Shen Shuyi said.

"But it"s not what you think. He only said that he couldn"t control this matter and that you guys were to handle it yourselves."

"He really knows how to play the blame game."

"It"s not exactly a blame game. Things are now a mess between the two of you. He doesn"t have time to worry about it."

"If that"s the case, knowing the Qin family, they will soon come looking for trouble with me."

"I can"t say for sure. It was fine when you were in Zhonghai since that was your territory, but this is Yanjing, not a place where you can do whatever you want. Be careful."

"Alright, thank you, Aunt Shen."

"Do you have any coming up? Are you planning anything?"

Shen Shuyi"s question sounded like a casual conversation topic.

From her point of view, she naturally did not care about these things.

Lin Yi"s thoughts were wild and unrestrained. He would always do strange things that she couldn"t be bothered to know about.

However, she mainly asked this question to satisfy Qin Yingyue"s curiosity.

After so many years, this was the first time she was eating at the same table as her son. She naturally had a thousand things to say, but she restrained herself.

Thus, she might as well ask these questions herself.

"Actually, I don"t have any plans. I"m taking it one step at a time. I"m planning to learn more skills and earn money. That"s all."

"Based on what you"re saying, it sounds like you"ll do something inappropriate in the future."

"Don"t say that. I think it"s good to raise pigs with all kinds of fruits."

Lin Yi picked up a piece of chicken and said, "Life only lasts a few decades. Why must we work so hard?

"However, only when we become stronger will we have the ability to take care of ourselves and the people around us. The current me is far from enough to accomplish this.

"Having said that, I"m even less afraid these days. With Aunt Shen behind my back, who would dare to touch me, Lin Yi?"

"You brat."

Shen Shuyi said with a smile.

The corners of Qin Yingyue"s mouth also revealed a smile.

Just like his father, he was hugely improper.

Just as the two of them were chatting, two other women walked in.

One of them was wearing the uniform of an employee of Huarun Group. He was in his forties and was not considered tall. She was even a little fat.

Although they were younger than Shen Shuyi, the two of them could not be compared in terms of looks, figure, and temperament.

The uniformed woman"s name was Ma Xiaoping, and she was the manager of Huarun Group"s investment department.

Although she was only a department manager, she had a lot of say because of the size of Huarun Group.

Beside her was a woman in a red dress.

This person was the same woman who handed Lin Yi his business card in the elevator just now, the general manager of Huaxin Group, Zhao Lei.

"President Ma, I just sent the report to you. What do you think?" Zhao Lei asked tentatively.

"I feel like it"s not bad. I"ll talk to the other team members about this later and finalize the specific amount." Ma Xiaoping said,

"There"s no one here now, so I"ll first tell you the bottom line. 3.8 billion is a little high. I can"t guarantee that it will work, but I should be able to give you a sum of about 2.5 billion. You"ll have to wait for me to inform you of the exact number."

"Alright, I"ll leave the rest to Sister Ma," Zhao Lei said gratefully.

"You don"t need to thank me. The country is vigorously developing the semiconductor industry, and investing in your company is also an opportunity for us. Besides, your company is involved in chip packaging, and the domestic semiconductor industry is still in its early stages. As long as you handle it well, your company will surely have a place in the future of the domestic semiconductor industry."

Zhao Lei looked conflicted.

"We"re also interested in this market, but 3.8 billion is not quite enough for us. We"ll have to trouble Director Ma to help us with this."

Zhao Lei"s expression seemed conflicted.

"We also see potential in this market, but the figure of 3.8 billion is already on the lower end of the scale for us. I"ll need to trouble you to try to achieve it, Director Ma."

"You also know that Huarun Group is involved in a wide range of industries. The semiconductor sector is just one component of the entire group, and there are numerous areas that require funding. Our investment amounts needs to be cautious and measured. Achieving 3.8 billion is indeed quite challenging."

"Then I"ll have to trouble Director Ma to help us fight for it," Zhao Lei said gratefully.

"That"s not a problem to me." Ma Xiaoping said.

"You were recommended by Director Sun. We were cla.s.smates back then, so I won"t treat you as an outsider. In truth, your plan is very good, so why don"t you try raising capital elsewhere?"

"What do you mean?"

"Lingyun Capital," Ma Xiaoping said.

"They are the leaders of the domestic internet and semiconductor industry. Ask them, and you might get a better outcome. Investing 3.8 billion yuan is nothing to them."

"Are you referring to the Lingyun Capital that is under Lingyun Group?"

"Yes, Lingyun Group in Zhonghai. Their president, Lin Yi, came to the company once before. I saw him. He"s so good-looking, almost like a celebrity," Ma Xiaoping covered her mouth and said with a smile.
