Chapter 12: Negotiation (Part 2)

Li Yi felt dazed and his head throbbed in waves. He tried to get up but couldn't move. Li Yi realized he had drunk too much.

What's going on? Has my alcohol tolerance decreased? Oh, right, I forgot about the rebirth. This body is no longer the one from my previous life, so its resistance to alcohol is naturally not as strong.

In a daze, Li Yi felt that he was completely naked, and two pairs of cool little hands were constantly tapping, caressing, and kneading his body, making him feel incredibly comfortable. After massaging the front, the two pairs of hands turned him over and massaged his back.

Li Yi felt a warm sensation in his lower abdomen, gradually absorbing the alcohol from every cell in his body. Slowly, the alcohol dissipated, and the massage was nearing its end.

These two girls must be Yu Yan and Yu Yan's sister, right?

Li Yi pushed the two girls away, quickly put on his clothes, and looked at their innocent little faces, saying in a deep voice, "I'm leaving."

He strode out of the room and quickly went downstairs. On the first floor, he encountered the guide girl, who glanced at him indifferently, her eyes filled with a hint of contempt.

Li Yi felt increasingly guilty, as if she had already seen through his dirty deeds. He didn't stop, rushing out of the garden. He didn't know how long he walked before he finally stopped.

Looking up at the sky, it was dark and the lights were dazzling. He realized it was already late at night.

"Damn! No, I was the one who got f***ed!" Li Yi let out a long howl to the sky. Li Yi wasn't a righteous man; he had participated in many such scenes before. However, this was the first time after his rebirth! The thought of it made him feel like he had lost a lot! There was no action at all, and it was over just like that?

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li!" A Crown car stopped beside Li Yi, and Jin Ming's harmless face appeared from inside: "Mr. Li, why did you leave so hastily? I chased you for a long time and finally found you."

Li Yi became alert and said in a deep voice, "Did you follow me?"

Jin Ming quickly waved his hands, "You misunderstood. President Yuan instructed me to take good care of you. Where are you going? Let me give you a ride."

Li Yi came to his senses and cursed inwardly! Where was his scroll? He remembered it was by his leg during the meal. It's all the alcohol's fault!

Jin Ming seemed to understand Li Yi's thoughts and smiled, "Mr. Li, get in the car quickly. We can talk in the car."

Li Yi calmed down, realizing he had fallen into their trap.

After all these years of hunting eagles, he ended up being pecked by one. Li Yi reminded himself to be on high alert in the future and not to assume that everyone in this era was as selfless as Lei Feng.

Feeling bad, Li Yi didn't show a good face. Jin Ming didn't get angry and took out a passbook and a card, handing them to Li Yi, "Mr. Li, President Yuan has already taken your design. This is your payment. The password is 667788."

Li Yi gave a mocking smile, took it, and saw that it was eighty million yuan.

Li Yi's face remained cold, and he didn't say a word.

Jin Ming smiled, "Mr. Li, you're truly remarkable. You became a billionaire overnight. Ha, I drank with a billionaire today. People will be envious when they hear this."

Li Yi said coldly, "A bottle of wine for a billion, a girl for two billion. Do you want to drink such wine?"

Jin Ming was silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry! This wasn't my idea."

"You're still an accomplice! Damn, it's not worth it. If I had known, I would have asked for more..." Li Yi stopped himself, remembering Jin Ming was a woman.

"Mr. Li, are you really willing to sell such advanced technology to foreigners?"

"I don't want to, but I can't be treated like this. You're not respecting the fruits of scientific labor. I've lost a lot!"

"Then what more compensation do you want? I'll do my best to help you."

"I want to f*** you. Would you be willing?" Li Yi smiled wickedly, trying to corner her.

The car swayed. Jin Ming, however, said seriously, "As long as you don't sell the technology to foreigners, I'm willing."

This time, it was Li Yi's turn to be speechless.

He didn't expect this woman to be so shocking! She was truly extraordinary!

"You've defeated me."

Jin Ming's lips curved into a smile, as if she had expected this.

In fact, Li Yi was secretly delighted. At least his performance today wasn't in vain.

This was all part of Li Yi's carefully planned strategy. The hype at the conference, the mistake at the dinner table, and the righteous indignation just now all had one goal: to sell the technology to a state-owned enterprise. If Li Yi had approached a state-owned enterprise to sell the technology, they might not have taken him seriously, and even if they did, no one would have believed him. Even if someone did believe him, the process would likely take years. Now, by using the leverage of foreigners, he successfully sold the technology to a state-owned enterprise, which would greatly benefit the rapid development of the domestic steel industry.

Come on, my country!

Clearly, he had succeeded. Patting the check in his hand, he sighed, "This money was too easy to earn. In my previous life, I worked so hard and didn't make this much! However, Yuan is quite generous to offer this price."

Li Yi knew that although the foreigners at the conference made a lot of noise, the actual transactions would be far less smooth. After various deductions like income tax, the amount he would actually receive would be much less. This direct and straightforward approach was better. Besides, he would never sell the technology to foreigners. He still had a basic sense of patriotism. There were many ways to make money, and he didn't need to rely on this to get rich!

After his rebirth, Li Yi had a goal greater than personal achievement.
