Chapter 72

After finishing the serious business, everyone continued to eat, and the conversation turned to trivial matters of daily life.

Lin Yi didn’t return to the branch in the afternoon but spent the afternoon accompanying the two in Zhonghai.

Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo also had no plans to leave and were preparing to return to the capital with the people from Team One.

Everyone went out for a drink in the evening and didn’t finish until the early hours of the morning.

The next day, Lin Yi went to the branch as usual, and the task of accompanying was handed over to the people from Team One.

However, during work, Lin Yi was a bit distracted, recalling what Ning Che had said yesterday.

If the delegation got it wrong, there would be no need for any discussion.

But if they didn’t get it wrong, this matter would not be simple.

Lin Yi made assumptions in his mind. If there really was a connection, the primitive tribe mentioned by the other party would become the focus of the investigation.

By using the local language, the text inside could be translated.

The things in the bronze tomb were all from the Tilia Island civilization, including the text inside.

This would play a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries of Tilia Island.

"What are you thinking about? It's early in the morning, and you're not working, just daydreaming."

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about these things, Xu Wen stood beside him.

She exuded a pleasant fragrance and the charm of a mature woman.

"Maybe it's because I'm in my adolescence, I have some worries."

"Your daughter is almost in adolescence, and you're still pretending to be young."

"Well, men remain young until they die."

"If you're a young man, I'm a young girl."

"Being a young girl is a bit exaggerated. How about a young woman? Isn't that more attractive?"

"Go away, you're not serious." Xu Wen rolled her eyes at Lin Yi and said:

"I'm going to talk business. Are you coming?"

"Starting to talk business right after opening, at this rate, it won't be long before you become a rich woman."

"Mainly, I think you won't stay here for long, so I have to take advantage of this time to squeeze as much out of you as possible. Once you leave, there will be no one to use."

"If we're talking about squeezing, wouldn't it be more appropriate to go to a hotel or your place?"

"Ha ha..."

Xu Wen laughed heartily, "You're the only one who can say such things. If it were someone uglier, I'd definitely call them a pervert."

Lin Yi smiled and got up to stretch.

"Have you chosen your target?"

"Already chosen, this is a big job." Xu Wen said:

"On Heping Road, there's a company that does live streaming and sales. They have a significant daily shipment volume. They were previously a client of another courier company, but a few days ago, the owner of that courier station was arrested for drunk driving, causing a lot of trouble. The owner of the company wants to change their partner, and this is our opportunity."

"We need to act quickly. A lot of people are eyeing this opportunity. If we're late, we might miss it."

"So I need to take you with me to check it out."

"Let's go."

After a quick tidy-up, the two left the store and got into Lin Yi's car.

Lin Yi thought about what he needed to do next.

If everything went as planned, this would be the last deal, and he had to do his best to help her close it.

It would be a good start and finish.

On the way, Xu Wen introduced the situation of the company.

It was an M institution that, in addition to live streaming, also handled sales. The daily shipment volume was not small.

After about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a building.

"From the 8th to the 14th floor, it's all their company. I heard they have at least 2,000 orders every day. If we can secure this, it will be a big deal."

Xu Wen was full of confidence, with a determined look on her face.

"Have you done your homework? Did you make an appointment?"

"No."

Xu Wen looked at Lin Yi and said:

"Previously, when I talked business, I always went directly. I haven't developed the habit of making appointments."

"Then don't go empty-handed."

Lin Yi looked around and noticed a tea shop nearby.

"Wait a moment."

After saying that, Lin Yi ran towards the tea shop.

A few minutes later, he returned with a yellow gift box and handed it to Xu Wen.

"Are you going to give a gift?"

"Better to be safe than sorry. Whether the deal goes through or not, giving them something will leave an impression. If they need anything in the future, they might call you." Lin Yi said:

"Don't forget to put a business card inside. You won't have to hand it over afterward."

If she had encountered such a situation before, Xu Wen would have thought Lin Yi was excellent, considering everything so thoroughly.

But now, she wouldn't think that way.

Lin Yi's status was much higher than she imagined, and he was well-informed.

Despite being older, she felt he was more like a teacher in this area.

Compared to him, she was far behind.

"I'll report back to you when we get back."

"It's not much, so don't worry about reporting. Let's go upstairs now."

Although they hadn't made contact beforehand, Xu Wen had already scouted the location.

She knew the relevant leaders were on the 14th floor, so they headed straight there after getting into the elevator.

The corridor was bustling with people, both men and women, who were young and good-looking.

When Lin Yi and Xu Wen appeared, they still attracted a lot of attention.

Especially from the women, who openly looked at Lin Yi.

"It's your turn to find out where the relevant person is. We'll go and talk to them."

"I knew this task would fall on me."

"Not bad, you're ready." Xu Wen patted Lin Yi's shoulder, "Go on, if you can't handle these young girls, you've wasted your years."

"Thanks for the high praise."

Lin Yi looked around the corridor and chose a long-haired girl as his target.

"Hello, I'd like to ask where the department responsible for shipping is located?"

"It's handled by our marketing department."

The long-haired girl's voice was sweet and gentle. She pointed to a position behind her.

"Go that way, Mr. Zhang's office is 1409."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After getting the information he needed, Lin Yi signaled to Xu Wen, and the two headed towards the marketing department.

"I feel like these women are about to eat you alive." Xu Wen whispered:

"Compared to them, my skin is too thin."

Lin Yi looked back and noticed a long-haired woman who was still looking at him, with a different expression from the others.

"Let's not worry about them now, let's focus on the business."

Xu Wen nodded, and the two stood in front of the office door.

They noticed that besides their leader, there was a man and a woman inside.

At the man's feet was a courier bag.

"It looks like we're late, and someone has already beaten us to it." Lin Yi said.
