Chapter 2099: Lin Yi Makes His Move

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Yi stood to the side, his brow furrowed.

The old man had already pushed the conversation to this point, showing very little courtesy.

Instinctively, Lin Yi glanced at the others, matching faces to names, roughly understanding their identities.

But all of them were grinning, watching Shen Shuyi with amusement.

They were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself, showing none of the respect they should have had. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“From the tone of your conversation, it seems that you’re unhappy with my management?”

“Everyone makes mistakes. We’re all human, but as long as those mistakes are corrected, it’s not a big deal. I still support you,” Zhong Yuguo said.

“You all…”

“Judging by your attitudes, it seems there are quite a few opinions about my Aunt Shen.”

Before Shen Shuyi could speak, Lin Yi interrupted her.

In an instant, Lin Yi became the focus of everyone’s attention.

A company executive was speaking—how could an outsider just butt in?

But as the executives turned their heads to look at Lin Yi, the anger in their stomachs was quickly suppressed.

Because they recognized who Lin Yi was!

The president of Lingyun Group!

Although Lin Yi was low-key and not many people knew his identity, this only applied to ordinary people or those of lower social status.

The people present were all top-tier individuals, each capable of influencing financial markets. Naturally, they knew of Lin Yi.

Moreover, Lingyun Group and Huaran Group had frequently collaborated in recent years. If these executives still didn’t know who Lin Yi was, they weren’t qualified to attend this meeting.

For this reason, their initial anger turned into a more measured assessment.

In just three years, he had built a world-class semiconductor giant.

This man was no simple figure!

Their attitudes became more restrained.

“President Lin, we didn’t expect you to be here,” Li Zheng greeted him with a smile, his tone calm.

He didn’t even extend the most basic courtesy of a handshake.

In their eyes, Lin Yi was merely a private entrepreneur. Even if he had developed a lithography machine, so what?

In Huaxia, he still couldn’t rise to the top—real power was the true sword of influence.

“I came here today just to have a chat with my Aunt Shen, but from the looks of it, the atmosphere between you all seems a bit tense.”

“This is an internal matter of ours, so there’s no need for President Lin to worry too much.”

“That’s true, but Lingyun Group and Huaran Group have many collaborations. Our fates are closely tied—when one prospers, the other prospers; when one suffers, the other suffers. Now that there’s an issue with the company’s decisions, of course, I have to be concerned.”

“President Lin has a point. So I suggest you use your time to persuade your Aunt Shen not to push forward with the trillion-yuan plan. It won’t just drag down the group—it might even affect your Lingyun Group,” Zhong Yuguo chimed in.

Shen Shuyi stood expressionless to the side, not participating in their conversation nor interrupting Lin Yi’s thoughts.

She simply had a feeling that things might be heading in a bad direction.

She needed to think carefully about how to bring this to a close.

“You’re right. If we make money, we all make money together. If we lose, we all lose together. So, this issue really does need to be discussed thoroughly,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Could everyone do me a favor and join me for a further discussion?”

“President Lin wants to attend our meeting?”

Zhong Yuguo’s tone was flat, even somewhat arrogant.

In his view, Lin Yi wasn’t qualified to sit at the same table with them.

“I’m just trying to help solve the problem,” Lin Yi replied.

“As for your trillion-yuan plan, I’ve spoken with my Aunt Shen and have some ideas that could ensure everyone is satisfied. So, leaders, could you give me a chance?”

Hearing Lin Yi claim he had a solution that could perfectly address the issue, everyone exchanged glances, intrigued to see what he had in mind.

At that moment, Li Zheng leaned in close to Zhong Yuguo and whispered,

“Director Zhong, what do you think of this?”

“He’s on Shen Shuyi’s side. He definitely won’t be on ours. Who knows what tricks he might pull?”

“Then just reject him outright. After all, they don’t have the right to sit at the same table as us.”

“We can’t reject him,” Zhong Yuguo replied.

“If we turn down his idea, it’ll look like we’re afraid of Shen Shuyi, which will greatly impact our influence.”

“Are you seriously suggesting we let him attend the meeting?” Li Zheng scoffed.

“What’s he worth? Does he deserve to sit with us?”

“Whether he’s worthy or not isn’t the point,” Zhong Yuguo said.

“It’s clear he’s on Shen Shuyi’s side. He’s speaking on her behalf. So, I think it doesn’t matter—we can suppress him just like we’re suppressing her. It’ll serve as a warning to Shen Shuyi, showing her exactly where we stand.”

Li Zheng, a smart man, quickly understood Zhong Yuguo’s reasoning.

“That’s actually a good idea. Let’s do it your way.”

With their plan settled, Zhong Yuguo turned his gaze back to Lin Yi.

“President Lin, since you have these thoughts, let’s head in and talk. After all, the meeting hasn’t reached any conclusions yet.”

“Thank you, leaders, for giving me this opportunity.”

With that, Lin Yi made a gesture of invitation, guiding the dozen Huaren Group executives into the conference room.

Throughout the process, Shen Shuyi remained silent.

She knew exactly what kind of person Lin Yi was—like Lin Jingzhan, he was a born strategist who could break through any impasse.

The company’s internal matters had reached a stalemate, and letting Lin Yi handle it didn’t seem like a bad idea.

After all, no one could overpower anyone else here. It all came down to who had the guts to push further.

One by one, the dozen executives returned to the conference room.

Facing Shen Shuyi, Lin Yi maintained a harmless expression, making a polite gesture, exuding gentlemanly grace.

Once everyone had returned to the room, Lin Yi stood by the door and locked it from the inside.

Since the chairs in the room were all fixed in place, Shen Shuyi arranged for her secretary to get a chair for Lin Yi.

But before the secretary could leave, Zhong Yuguo spoke up,

“President Lin, if you have something to say, say it now. As you know, we’re all quite busy and don’t have time to waste.”

Lin Yi glanced behind him at the empty space, noticing that there wasn’t even a chair for him. He realized how skilled these people were at maintaining appearances.

“No chair? That’s fine. I can stand and talk,” Lin Yi said calmly, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.

“Actually, Aunt Shen just told me a bit about this trillion-yuan plan. The future returns are expected to be substantial, and the plan also holds strategic significance. So, I’m really curious to know—what are your reasons for opposing it so strongly?”
