Chapter 729: Chapter 701: Discussing Business

"Ahem, ahem!" Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen coughed violently twice. He didn’t know why Lin Yi was so angry, but from her tone, Li Chen could discern some dissatisfaction.

"It looks like agreeing to Xiaoxiao was too hasty," Li Chen inwardly shook his head.

Lin Yi was, after all, his wife. Running out with Lin Xiaoxiao like that, and leaving Lin Yi alone at home, even though Lin Yi didn’t voice it, she was certainly feeling some dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Beautiful wife, what happened? You’re so angry. Let your husband help you solve it." Li Chen tried to make his expression appear more amiable, moved closer to Lin Yi, and whispered.

"It’s nothing." Lin Yi still sat in the chair, motionless, holding documents in her hand and began to read distractedly.

"Just tell me..." Li Chen came behind Lin Yi and gently started massaging her, while simultaneously channeling a thread of True Qi to help regulate her body.

Due to work, Lin Yi often maintained the same sitting posture for extended periods, which could lead to occupational illnesses, so Li Chen would occasionally help adjust her body.

Lin Yi was clearly unaware of the intricacies involved, only feeling that Li Chen’s massage was very comfortable, involuntarily relaxing entirely.

"It’s really nothing much. The person who just left is a representative from a company intent on negotiating a business deal with us, but the condition is that I must join their boss for a meal." Lin Yi said with furrowed brows, her attention easily diverted by Li Chen.

"A meal?" Li Chen paused, then a cold smile appeared on his face, "I’m afraid it’s not as simple as just having a meal, right?"

"If it were just a meal, that would be fine." Lin Yi sighed and said, "That company’s boss has had designs on me for a long time, but he’s never had the chance. He probably wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of me."

Li Chen shook his head, "Then you should just reject it straight away. Who cares about them? Does our company really need this deal?"

"It’s not that simple." Lin Yi shook her head, "This deal is crucial; I can’t just give up on it that easily."

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Okay then, agree to it!"

"You mean?" Lin Yi turned her head, looking at Li Chen with some surprise.

"Isn’t it just a meal?" Li Chen grinned and said, "I’ll accompany you."

Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded, "Okay, I’ll respond to them right away."

Truth be told, Lin Yi would certainly feel uneasy going alone, even if she took her secretary and bodyguards with her. But if Li Chen were with her, that would be a different story.

After making the call and exchanging a few words, Lin Yi hung up directly.

"The other party has agreed. So, you’ll accompany me to dinner tonight," Lin Yi said to Li Chen.

"Sure!" Li Chen nodded. After all, he had come back early, and both Xiaoxiao and Wang Qianqian had not yet returned home. Even if he went back, there wouldn’t be much to do, and accompanying Lin Yi was naturally the right thing to do.

Li Chen spent the entire afternoon with Lin Yi in her office. When they left the office for dinner, they noticed that the people around them cast different glances at them.

"What are they looking at?" Li Chen asked Lin Yi, somewhat puzzled.

"It’s because of you, staying in my office all afternoon without going to your own workplace," Lin Yi rolled her eyes and said.

"Ah, they’re just envious," Li Chen smiled and said, "They can only feel envious. Who told you that you’re my wife!"

"Get lost!"

...

Upon driving to a hotel, Li Chen and Lin Yi walked in together when a waiter immediately came over.

"May I ask if this is Miss Lin Yi?"

"It is." Lin Yi nodded.

"President Zhang has already reserved a spot for you, please follow me."

Lin Yi nodded and followed the man to the private room reserved by this ’President Zhang’ along with Li Chen.

"President Lin, President Lin!" As soon as Lin Yi and Li Chen entered, they saw a balding man in his forties stand up and wave at Lin Yi.

"President Zhang." Lin Yi nodded slightly.

When Lin Yi appeared, the desire in President Zhang’s eyes was unmistakable; they were brimming with heat as he looked at her.

As for Li Chen, President Zhang simply ignored him.

In his eyes, Li Chen was at most a lackey. Was such a person even worth his attention?

"This man’s name is Zhang Hui; he’s not a local entrepreneur. He came to Linchuan strictly for this business deal. I’ve had someone look into him, and the guy’s private life is extremely messy, and when it comes to women, he’s just a total scumbag," Lin Yi whispered to Li Chen.

Li Chen nodded, but said nothing.

However, in the next moment, Li Chen’s expression changed.

Before Zhang Hui could shake hands with Lin Yi, Li Chen strode forward with a broad, sincere smile, took hold of Zhang Hui’s hand, and said, "You must be President Zhang? I’ve heard from President Lin that you are a true success story, a master hand in the business world!"

"Though I haven’t met you before, my admiration for you is just like the endless torrent of the river, and like the flooding Yellow River that once it breaks loose, cannot be tamed! Today, when I heard President Lin was going to discuss business with you, I simply couldn’t repress the excitement in my heart, and I insisted on asking President Lin to bring me along. Now that I see President Zhang, it’s truly my fortune in three lifetimes!"

Zhang Hui looked at Li Chen in shock, not knowing where this person had come from.

In his eyes, Li Chen was just an insignificant bit player that he did not bother with, but unexpectedly, this bit player had taken the initiative to climb up, putting Zhang Hui, who wanted to establish a good relationship with Lin Yi, in a difficult position.

After all, Li Chen was Lin Yi’s man, and he couldn’t be too impolite.

But why wouldn’t this guy let go of his hand?

Could it be that he has that kind of hobby?

Zhang Hui felt a chill run down his spine and forcefully pulled his hand back.

Seeing Zhang Hui’s expression, Lin Yi couldn’t help but snicker internally and then sat down with a straight face.

And Li Chen sat right beside her.

"President Zhang, I came here actually to discuss that business deal with you..."

Lin Yi had not finished speaking when she was directly interrupted by Zhang Hui.

"President Lin, we’re here to dine. Let’s not talk business while eating; let’s fill our stomachs first," Zhang Hui said, raising his hand dismissively.

Lin Yi paused but then nodded her head.

After the meal, Zhang Hui leisurely wiped his mouth and looked at Lin Yi with a light chuckle, "President Lin, business is done between people, and we are all just normal people. As for this deal, it’s not that it can’t be done, but, you see, I have long admired President Lin..."

Upon hearing Zhang Hui’s words, Lin Yi’s expression changed.
