Chapter 2245: Chapter 2246: The Old Lady Jumps Rope

“Have you called your senior sister?”

“Nope,” He Yuanyuan said,

“This kind of disgusting matter, she’s definitely not good at dealing with it. If I call her, I’ll have to go through the trouble of handling it. I’d rather tell you about it, so she can take it easy.”

“Thank you very much for your ancestor’s sake,”

“My eight generations of ancestors are all under the ground. If you really want to thank them, just burn more paper money.”

“The people from Mitsui Group haven’t arrived yet, have they?”

...

“Based on our previous talks, they should arrive tomorrow and start the project process the day after tomorrow. But I didn’t expect Samsung’s people to come early and make such a request; it’s quite puzzling.”

Lin Yi pondered for a few seconds.

“What was their attitude like at the time?”

“Their attitude was actually pretty good, quite sincere—at least Brother Qi and I didn’t notice anything fishy. But in business, who can be sure? That’s why I’m calling you.”

“Alright, I’ll take care of this,” Lin Yi said, “I’ll make a call to find out what’s going on.”

“OK, message me after it’s done.”

“Wait for my call.”

After hanging up with He Yuanyuan, Lin Yi walked out holding his cell phone, then dialed Lee Yongjin’s number.

“Director Lin.”

“What’s going on over there, calling people over ahead of time, and saying you want to pay half a year later?”

Lee Yongjin was silent for a long while on the other side.

“The reason for this matter lies with us, but since it was I who proposed the collaboration, and now that this has happened, it’s a bit embarrassing to discuss with you and President Ji, so we sent our financial director over to talk.”

Lee Yongjin’s tone was very sincere, not as if he was plotting.

“If it were an ordinary small company, I might believe it, but considering the Li family’s status and influence in Korea and even the world, this kind of money isn’t a big deal for you guys, right?”

“Indeed, it’s not a big deal. But our group recently took on a new project, very important, with all our capital tied up in it, we even have to borrow some from the bank. To ensure the normal operation of other projects, I had to resort to such a measure, otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it.”

“If you put it that way, I’m actually a bit curious. How big of a project is it, to push the Li family to this point?”

“The project itself isn’t big, it’s just stuck at this critical node, so I wanted to wait a bit. Director Lin, could you do me a favor?”

“If you were five years younger, I might really do you this favor, but not now.”

Lee Yongjin was silent again for a few seconds.

“Then could you give me some more time, I will find a way to cover the money.”

“One month then, don’t say I’m heartless—after all, the Mitsui Group is watching. Director Lin Yi’s face isn’t so easily spent.”

“I understand, thank you, Director Lin.”

After discussing business, Lin Yi hung up the phone.

No matter how he looked at it, he found the situation very strange.

The semiconductor project cooperated by the three companies had a total investment of over 300 billion.

The 18 billion invested by each company at the beginning was merely startup capital.

For the three groups, it was just a drop in the ocean.

And yet Samsung made such a move, which really made one wonder.

The prestigious Samsung, actually facing financial strain? Was Lee Yongjin planning to build a space warship or something?

Nonsense, just mindless blabber.

Ring ring ring—

While Lin Yi was sending his regards to Lee Yongjin, the phone rang again.

It was that familiar unfamiliar number.

“Mr. Lin Yi.”

After the call connected, the gentle voice of Caie Mitsui came through.

“You’re calling me at this time, not to discuss the project, are you?”

“I’ve come to China, do you have time to meet with me?”

“You’re in China?”

“I came over for the cooperation, so I took the opportunity to come,” Caie Mitsui said with a laugh,

“I thought it’s more practical to talk to you than your company’s executives, so I wanted to ask if it’s convenient for you to meet with me?”

Lin Yi looked at his watch and found it was just past two in the afternoon.

“Where are you? I’ll come to you.”

In fact, Lin Yi would have gone no matter what time it was.

Their relationship was quite special, more than friends but not quite lovers.

Unless the request was too unreasonable, Lin Yi would never refuse Caie Mitsui.

Because she was the only woman with a B-cup who could sleep with Lin Yi.

“I’m at Wangjiang Hotel, room 1708.”

“Wait there, I’m coming over now.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi drove to Wangjiang Hotel.

Then he knocked on the door of room 1708.

As the door opened, he saw Caie Mitsui wearing a black lace nightgown, so short it barely covered her bottom, revealing a swath of pale skin on her chest, barely concealed.

“Mr. Lin Yi, you’ve arrived.”

Lin Yi stepped in, shut the door with his foot, and locked it, then picked up Caie Mitsui around the waist without another word and tossed her onto the bed.

Sensual music played, and the large presidential suite was filled with heavy breathing.

About two hours later, an intense session ended.

Caie Mitsui took about twenty minutes to recover, lazily sat up from the bed, took a shower, then wrapped in a towel and sat beside Lin Yi.

“You came all this way for such a small matter, don’t tell me you’ve come because you’re itching for it,”

“I did miss you, that’s why I came.”

Lin Yi’s large hand squeezed her bottom.

“So, there’s something else then.”

Caie Mitsui playfully protested, “I wanted to inquire about the situation in Shianggang with you.”

“Hmm? Why would you suddenly ask about that?”

“It came from the underground market,” Caie Mitsui said,

“In Asia, besides our Mitsui family, there’s another group that can make E-class serum; I suspect they’re from Shianggang.”

Lin Yi thought for a few seconds, “You guessed right, it’s the Hongmen from Shianggang, but now it’s practically defunct, a shell.”

“Indeed, it’s them,” Caie Mitsui wasn’t surprised; it seemed within her expectations.

“You figured it out?”

“Actually, it’s not hard to guess.”

“In the whole of Asia, the organizations that have the capability to develop such things are our Mitsui family, the Li family of Korea, and those in China and Shianggang,” Caie Mitsui said,

“Due to national conditions, mainland China wouldn’t engage in such things. Samsung’s Lee family has tried for many years and has not managed to produce it, so the only possibility left was Shianggang, and the biggest force in Shianggang is Hongmen, so I had already suspected them long ago.”

“But the problem is, Hongmen’s leader Li Zhenquan and his Li Yinghong have disappeared with all the serum data. There’s been no word of them until now.”

“Disappeared?”

Lin Yi nodded, “I’m looking for them.”

“But can they really run away? To do this is obviously inappropriate.”
