Chapter 1598: Another Problem
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving Lu Beichen’s place, Lin Yi wrapped his down jacket tightly around himself and called Ji Qingyan, briefly explaining the situation here.
However, she was so frightened that she could not close her mouth.
She had quickly found information about Lu Beichen on Baidu.
She didn’t expect Lin Yi to know such a person.
Then, Lin Yi went to the Pangu Hotel for the night and chatted with Liang Ruoxu for a while before going to bed.
Originally, the two of them had agreed to meet at the corporation downstairs at eight the next morning.
When Lin Yi went over, Liang Ruoxu was still sleeping. She had forgotten everything they had discussed the day yesterday. It was almost ten o’clock before the two of them finally met.
After hanging out for a while, Lin Yi bought some things for Liang Ruoxu before taking a plane back to Yangcheng.
After returning home, he began to busy herself with the New Year with his family.
Now that Guo Ningyue was married, Lin Yi and Wu Feiyue became Wang Cuiping’s targets.
She acted like she would sever their mother-son relationship if they did not get married the next year.
The two brothers could only agree and did not dare to refute.
Wu Feiyue was okay. Even if he didn’t rush him, he had already made plans for the year.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was in a more difficult position. The matter between Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu had yet to be resolved, so he could not bring up marriage yet.
For adults, New Year’s wasn’t very exciting. In fact, it wasn’t even as exciting as opening packages.
This was especially true for girls like Ji Qingyan. The passing of the new year meant that she had aged another year. She would have to put in a lot of effort to maintain her health.
After lunch, Lin Yi found an excuse to go out and quietly took a plane back to Zhonghai to spend the New Year with Li Chuhan.
Then, at around ten o’clock, he rushed back to Yangcheng.
The timing was perfect.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Guo Ningyue returned from her in-laws’ house, and the orphanage became lively again.
The happiest person was naturally Zhao Quanfu. He raised his cup repeatedly and drank happily.
The next few days were the most important part of the Lunar New Year.
To put it nicely, they were busy visiting relatives. To be more realistic, it was a time to show off.
As the most important card in Wang Cuiping’s hand, Lin Yi naturally had to join in.
After a few days of visiting relatives and friends, Wang Cuiping was positioned firmly in the limelight.
Her heart was filled with joy.
After staying in Yangcheng for a few days, Lin Yi went to Yanjing and played with Liang Ruoxu for two days before returning to Zhonghai.
Upon his return, family gatherings continued until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, marking the end of all family dining events.
Only then did their lives return to normal.
Lin Yi was impressive enough not to need to curry favor with anyone.
Otherwise, he would be forced to make a series of visits to relatives and gift-giving, making the New Year more exhausting than regular work days, even for those accustomed to the 996 work culture.
As usual, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan’s lives were very peaceful.
Ji Qingyan was a little surprised that Lin Yi had not gone out to do anything during this time.
However, she also knew Lin Yi’s nature. Who knew when he would cause trouble and disappear again?
In the president’s office of the Lingyun Group, Lin Yi looked at the time on his phone and kept counting the days.
The situation in Dongsan County was great. Logically speaking, it had been almost half a year, so it should be about time.
Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table. It was already the end of February, and the students had already returned to school one after another. It was time to deal with the Dongsan County school.
Then, Lin Yi called Zhao Qi and talked to him about the details.
In the end, it was decided that the student conference to announce this matter would be held the morning after.
“President Lin, something happened.”
Without warning, the door to Lin Yi’s office was pushed open and Qi Xianzhao walked in.
“There’s been another problem with the goods we got stuck in the Panem Canal.”
“Didn’t we split the cargo? What else could have happened?”
“During the periodic inspection, the shipwright said that there was a safety problem with the ship and that they couldn’t continue the journey. He said that they wanted to inspect and repair the ship first.”
“Repair? Why are you only talking about these things after the goods are loaded? What were they doing earlier?”
“That’s what 1 said, but that’s the answer they gave me. They had a bad attitude.”
“F*ck this!”
Lin Yi cursed, “They have to provide compensation for what happened, right?”
“I’ve already communicated with them about this. The shipping company is willing to compensate us.”
“They’re willing to pay?”
“Yes, and he said he’s willing to compensate us according to the amount in the contract.”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi said,
“Go talk to them first and see what the problem is.”
“Got it, President Lin.”
After Qi Xianzhao left, Lin Yi remained silent with a cold expression.
He could sense that there was something fishy about this matter.
Previously, the Panem Canal had refused permission to sail on the grounds that it was too dry.
Now that he had thought of a solution, the shipwright said that there was a problem with the ship and it could not be operated.
On the surface, the other party’s reasoning seemed reasonable, and he could not find anything wrong with it.
But in reality, Lin Yi didn’t think that this was a coincidence.
Perhaps there really was someone controlling everything behind the scenes.
There was one more thing that was not easy to discover at this time.
The people from the Panem Canal Authorities who had stopped him for the first time could be considered officials.
However, this time, it was a private matter from the shipping company.
Most importantly, the other party was willing to pay!
Because of the size of the shipment, the compensatory amount was an astronomical figure after being delayed for so long.
Lingyun Group could afford to lose money, but other companies might struggle.
This was a very strange point.
Normally speaking, shipping companies would not allow such a thing to happen because everyone loved money. Naturally, they would try to avoid a loss.
Furthermore, they wouldn’t let a potentially problematic sail out.
However, now that the problem had really happened, there might be other fishy things that he did not know about.
Tap tap tap tap…
Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table, feeling that the Lingyun Group might be targeted.
But this was just one deal, with a total amount of just over a billion dollars. Although not a small sum, it wasn’t particularly large either. It seemed a bit overkill.
The only option was to send Qi Xianzhao to take a look first. As for what happens next, that would have to wait.
After all, someone else would be compensating him, so there was no need to panic.
For the next two days, Lin Yi focused on the education work in Dongsan County.
The 106 official job positions provided by Liang Ruoxu were a significant policy boon for the education sector in Dongsan County.
Subsequently, she also contacted Lu Yanmin, asking him to think of solutions, which greatly alleviated Lin Yi’s burden.
Two days later, after sending Ji Qingyan to the company, Lin Yi went to Zhonghai Normal University.
When he arrived at school, Sugar was waiting for him at the door.
Sugar was wearing a black one-piece wide-legged pants with a small shirt on it, hiding her proud figure. Now, it looked more like a B-cup, and her attractiveness to Lin Yi instantly dropped in half.
“Let’s go. The students are all here. We’re just waiting for you,” Sugar said.
“Let’s go..”
