Chapter 616 - 616 The General Trend

616 The General Trend

At 8:30 p.m., they finished cleaning the store.

Ji Qingyan sat at the table, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

Why are you daydreaming? Lin Yi walked over.

I want to go to the night market and look at those who stalls which sell daily necessities. Although theyre very cheap, the quality seems to be quite good.

Do you only look at daily necessities? Dont you eat?

Um

Ji Qingyan looked embarra.s.sed. I didnt eat dinner tonight. Its normal for me to eat less, right?

Ill make something for you. Itll be healthy, hygienic, and delicious.

Youve been tired all day. Stop working and rest.

Im not tired.

There arent many ingredients left in the shop, and its quite costly to cook a meal for me.

Its fine. w.a.n.g Tianlong will send more ingredients over tomorrow.

Lin Yi!

Ji Qingyan was infuriated. Placing her hands on her waist, she said, No, I told you that youre tired, so youre tired. Hurry up and pack your things and leave!

Lin Yi,

Under Ji Qingyans coercion, the two locked the door and walked towards the night market arm in arm.

Seeing that the two of them had closed the shop so early, Zhou Peng gritted his teeth in anger.

d.a.m.n it, he doesnt even want to do business. What kind of att.i.tude is this?

The next morning, Lin Yi received a call from Liang Ruoxu as soon as he arrived at the shop.

Did you go to the store?

I just got here.

Ill be there in about half an hour. Help me cook a bowl of noodles for my breakfast.

Will you pay?

There you go again.

Half an hour later, Liang Ruoxu walked in. She was not wearing his usual uniform.

She was wearing blue jeans and a beige trench coat. Moreover, she had on small black boots and light makeup. This made her look dignified and imposing.

Liang Ruoxus attire was always the same, making her look the complete opposite of Ji Qingyans.

Ji Qingyans makeup had always been exquisite. Coupled with her temperament, no matter the time of day, there would always be a sharp aura around her that made people fearful.

However, Liang Ruoxu was different. She did not deliberately pursue exquisiteness. Instead, she seemed a little casual.

Her makeup and dressing made her look mature and old-fas.h.i.+oned.

There was nothing she could do about this because of her work needs.

The decor is not bad, Liang Ruoxu commented after entering.

Do you want to invest in me, Beauty Liang? Ill count you in.

As he spoke, Lin Yi brought the noodles to Liang Ruoxu and a plate of pickled vegetables.

The pickles in your shop seem to cost a lot.

Its fine. Your ident.i.ty is special. Ill give you a chance to write a promissory note. Ill save it until the end of the month before I go to your munic.i.p.al committee to collect.

If they find out that I eat 179 yuan for a bowl of noodles and 39 yuan for a plate of pickled vegetables, just wait for me to be punished, then you can send me a boxed lunch at the police station in the future.

Thats why I dont want to take this career path. I cant even go to the Huaqing Lake.

Alright, stop spouting nonsense. Liang Ruoxu said.

My mother contacted a few companies for you. When the time comes, get someone to integrate them into your platform.

What for?

Liang Ruoxu took out two pieces of paper from her bag and handed them to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi saw that there were more than thirty companies listed on the A4 paper.

Penguin, Alibaba, and JD.com were all familiar companies.

It could be said that any one of the enterprise on the paper could be considered a giant in the industry.

What is this?

Didnt you want to develop a new mobile phone system? My mother informed their leaders and they will support the development of the corresponding software, Liang Ruoxu said as he ate.

What the f*ck, is this for real?

Of course, I cant eat your noodles for free.

Lin Yi glanced at the list on the A4 paper. Although there were only thirty companies on it, there were at least three hundred apps under them.

Although this number was only a drop in the bucket for the vast app market, there were more than 70 essential life applications included. It should be enough to satisfy most peoples daily needs.

Seeing this list, Lin Yi realized that Shen Shuyis ability was far beyond his imagination.

After approaching them, even people like Erma and Mr. Qiang would have to nod in agreement. From this, it could be seen how powerful Shen Shuyi was in the capital market.

By comparison, those who stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yi were just so-so.

By the way, my mother gave you some advice. Do you want to hear it?

What advice? Please tell me.

She said that the mobile phone market has stabilized. If you want to make a splash, the most direct and effective way is to spend money. Next is to expand the market into third world countries.

Yeah, Ive thought of all that. Lin Yi nodded.

Apart from that, theres something else I need to tell you. Liang Ruoxu said.

The higher-ups are interested in establis.h.i.+ng an incubation center for high-paying industries in Zhonghai. Do you want this project?

This project is a little too hot for me. I dont dare to accept it.

Some of these projects which were closely related to official business was equivalent to being shackled.

Lin Yi wouldnt do such a thing, nor did he want to.

Calm down, Liang Ruoxu said. The higher-ups wont be involved in this matter. Consider it a reward for you.

Reward?

In reality, the higher-ups had already sensed a crisis a long time ago. Weve only reached the top of the world in the service industry, but were still very weak in the basic scientific research field. Liang Ruoxu combed her hair and said.

However, at that time, the level of economic development was unequal and did not allow too much investment in this regard, so it was simply put on hold. However, a few years back, the ZTE crisis exposed this problem again, so the higher-ups did not want to wait anymore.

Is that why you are doing this?

Thats right. Furthermore, its time for us to act, Liang Ruoxu said.

Now, the smartphone market in China has been monopolized by IOS and Android. If there is a conflict one day and Apple and Google stop updating the Chinese market, the problem will be serious. Of course, the possibility of this happening minimal, but we have to be prepared. We cant be led by the nose by others. Therefore, you have a good opportunity and are sharing the same thoughts as the higher-ups.

Then, what does the higher-ups plan to do with this incubation center project?

Whatever you want, Ill give it to you. Furthermore, I can guarantee that none of the policies will be sloppily enacted. They will definitely be fulfilled, Liang Ruoxu said.

But the usage period is 20 years. During these 20 years, all benefits will belong to you. 20 years later, you will have to hand them over.

The predecessors plant the trees and the descendants enjoy the shade.

Liang Ruoxu thought for a moment. You cant say that. Even if you hand it over, you wont lose out. In the eyes of ordinary bosses, this incubation center is still yours. If you can build a certain reputation, I feel that the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages.

Alright, Ill think about it. Lin Yi didnt agree immediately.

For a long time, he did not want to partic.i.p.ate in such a thing.

However, there seemed to be no other way right now.

Since they had already taken the initiative, he had to give them some face.

Alright, take your time to think about it. Its not anything urgent.

Liang Ruoxu appeared very calm, but she was very puzzled.

This was definitely a profitable deal. Was there a need to think?

Creak

Just as the two of them were talking, the door of the store was pushed open and six people walked in.

The leaders were Zhou Peng, Chen Yansong, and the others.

I can only cook fried rice and noodles now. Youll have to wait for a while if I want to eat anything else, Lin Yi said.

Bro, were not here to eat. We have something to talk to you about, Zhou Peng said.

You are looking for me?

Let me introduce myself first. Im Zhou Peng, the boss of Hongda Seafood Barbecue opposite. This is Chen Yansong, the boss of Xin Xin Dumpling Restaurant. This is Duan Jiabao of Happiness Milk Tea. This is

Zhou Peng introduced the six people who came in one by one, and Lin Yi learned their ident.i.ties.

Liang Ruoxu tilted his head and glanced at the person who came in before continuing to eat.

Why are you guys looking for me?

Look, were all doing business on Zhengyang Street. We are mindful of harmony to make money, but ever since you opened your business, we dont have any business, Zhou Peng said.

No more business? Lin Yi said, I didnt steal your business. Your business isnt good. This has nothing to do with me, right?

Look at what youre saying. If it had nothing to do with us, we wouldnt have come here. Zhou Peng said.

Your restaurants food is so expensive. Nowadays, these students save money and dont spend it because they want to come here to eat. Naturally, we dont have a business because of this.

Lin Yi felt that the people in front of him were a little strange.

Then what do you mean? Do you want me to close down to support your business?

How can we ask for that? You need to support your family too. Zhou Peng said.

Look, can you shorten the opening hours appropriately and leave us a way out too?

I cant agree to that. Were all running our own businesses. If the taste of our food isnt good, we should do some introspection, but you guys actually asked me to shorten the opening hours. What are you guys thinking? Are you kidding me?

Brother, dont speak so arrogantly. We didnt mean anything by it. Zhou Peng said.

You know why your business is booming. Lets not talk about it anymore. It wont be good if things get unpleasant.

This time, Lin Yi was even more confused.

Then why dont you tell me why my business is booming?

Zhou Peng and the other two looked at each other.

Ive already asked around. You have such a beautiful woman in this shop. Usually, you seduce those men and women to eat. Am I right? You even cheat students of their money. Do you think theres any point in doing business like this?

Seduce? Lin Yis expression turned cold.

Isnt that true? Zhou Peng said, When we came in, we saw you talking and laughing with this woman. Arent you going to admit it?

Shes my friend. Cant we talk?

Friend?

Hehe

Zhou Peng looked disdainful. According to what you said, is every woman who comes to your restaurant to eat your friend? Is every man who comes to your restaurant also considered that womans friend?

Whoos.h.!.+

Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked Zhou Peng, Didnt I give you enough face?

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Other than Liang Ruoxu, no one expected Lin Yi to hit someone.

Especially when the other party was Zhou Peng, who weighed more than 200 pounds.

Wasnt this kid a little too strong?

Liang Ruoxu did not say anything and continued to eat in silence.

Ji Qingyan had always been his exclusive property, and he could not tolerate anyone insulting her.
