Chapter 3242: Chapter 3234: An Accidental Encounter with Qi Xianzhao

"What’s the big deal about this welcome party? It’s not a big deal."

"This sort of thing might not be a big deal to the Central Guards Brigade, but ordinary folk might never experience it in their lifetime."

"The Liang family isn’t just ordinary folk."

"You can’t just say that. We are just ordinary folk."

"Haha... yes, yes, ordinary folk."

Liang Ruoxu drove, and soon they arrived at Shen Shuyi’s company.

When they got to the office and saw Lin Yi enter, Shen Shuyi stood up and said:

"No wonder you’re from the Central Guards Brigade; you really recover quickly."

Lin Yi chuckled and was then led to the sofa by Shen Shuyi.

Her secretary came in, brewed a pot of tea, and then quietly left.

"You’ve come at the wrong time. If you had come half an hour earlier, you would have seen Qi Xianzhao."

"Hmm? Old Qi was here?"

"There’s an international conference on the semiconductor industry these days, and he came over with some engineers for the meeting. He also came by to see me, and we chatted for a while," Shen Shuyi said:

"His capabilities are quite impressive. Lingyun Group really got themselves a treasure."

"Mom, if you think he’s good, I can transfer him here."

"Oh, no, I can’t give him as much authority here," Shen Shuyi said:

"Lingyun Group is the best fit for him."

Lin Yi nodded, "Old Qi’s abilities are indeed impressive."

"Alright, let’s stop talking about work. Your dad booked a place, let’s go."

"Okay."

Shen Shuyi tidied up a bit, and the family of three left and got in the car.

After driving for about half an hour, the group arrived in the old district.

Even though it’s called the old district, it’s just a habit for locals to call it that.

The houses here are all billion-dollar courtyard homes; generally, ordinary folk don’t live here.

"The dining place today seems a bit different from usual," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Since you’re discharged from the hospital, your dad said he would take you to eat something good," Shen Shuyi said:

"These kinds of places are not typically open to the public; your dad had to pull some strings to book it."

"That’s a bit embarrassing." Lin Yi said with a grin.

The streets here are quite narrow, so the car couldn’t drive in.

After getting out of the car, the three walked about a hundred meters and took several turns before arriving at the dining location.

The dining area is not very large, and is divided by antique screens, which guarantee some privacy while maintaining a degree of openness, greatly enhancing the dining experience.

In addition, the details of the decor are quite exquisite.

For a restaurant of this caliber, even a Michelin three-star rating wouldn’t quite do it justice.

As the three entered the partitioned room, Liang Cunxiao was already waiting here, with an unlabeled bottle of wine on the table.

"None of you can drink today," Shen Shuyi said.

"I’m almost fully recovered; a little won’t hurt."

"Don’t be ridiculous; today, he drinks tea," Shen Shuyi refused and said:

"If you want to drink, you can do it some other time."

Seeing that Shen Shuyi gave no chance, Liang Cunxiao didn’t insist.

Lin Yi’s current state really wasn’t suitable for drinking; a little drink for himself would be fine.

The dishes here were served in a set menu format, and each person ordered an 1888-dollar set menu and began the wait.

"Has your company already developed a four-nanometer process chip? Do you know about this?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "I’m not really managing the company’s affairs anymore; I just occasionally listen to their situation reports."

Though Lin Yi is hands-off, Ji Qingyan is aware of many things.

That’s why he can feel at ease.

"He means to keep this news under wraps and not announce it to the public," Shen Shuyi said.

"Lingyun Group is growing larger, but with greater tree comes greater risk; I’m afraid overseas capitals might suddenly plot something against me. This thing can act as a trump card," Lin Yi said:

"But things outside are quite calm now; if we don’t announce, others might develop it too, so we might announce it soon."

Shen Shuyi nodded, holding a positive attitude about Lin Yi’s arrangement.

Soon, their ordered set menu was served.

The conversation shifted from work to everyday life.

Among them, Liang Cunxiao felt the most emotional.

In their place, being injured as badly as Lin Yi meant a transfer and retirement wouldn’t be far.

The whole trajectory of life might change.

But in the Central Guards Brigade, such circumstances don’t exist; once healed, missions can be continued as if nothing happened.

There’s really no comparison.

At this moment, conversation was heard outside the screen.

"Thank you for your hospitality, hope we can cooperate in the future."

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Yi and Shen Shuyi simultaneously put down their chopsticks and exchanged glances unconsciously.

They both recognized that the voice resembled that of Qi Xianzhao.

After glancing at each other, they unconsciously turned their heads and found that the person standing outside the screen was indeed Qi Xianzhao.

Despite the screen obstructing the view, making it unclear.

But Lin Yi confirmed that the person standing outside was Qi Xianzhao.

"Mr. Qi, we hope you’ll seriously consider the conditions we offered."

The woman speaking was conversing entirely in English, but everyone except Liang Cunxiao could understand.

"Lingyun Group is just a company within Yan Country, and its worldwide influence isn’t strong. Staying here may limit your talent; if you come to us, we will provide a better stage, and the world’s elite will be at your service."

"Thanks for the offer, but for now, I have no plans to switch jobs, but I still hope for cooperation opportunities."

"Alright, I’ll see you off."

"You’re too kind."

Soon, the two left, and things quieted down outside the screen.

"Someone came to poach your talent," Liang Ruoxu said.

"It’s probably because of this meeting; many global companies are here," Shen Shuyi said: "I’ll help you find out who after this."

"No need, just let it be."

"Aren’t you afraid of being poached?"

"It’s normal; we often poach others too," Lin Yi said:

"If Old Qi really leaves, it means the compensation I offer isn’t good enough; leaving would be normal."

"But he’s in charge of quite a few core projects at Lingyun Group," Liang Ruoxu said:

"Are you that reassured?"

"If I wasn’t reassured, I wouldn’t have entrusted the company to him."

"So you’re saying you fully understand him and know he wouldn’t leave?" Liang Ruoxu said.

"Quite the opposite, Old Qi is one of the few people I can’t see through. He’s deep, unfazed by emotions," Lin Yi said:

"If I can see someone through instantly, their potential is limited, and they can’t handle a big company like Lingyun Group."
