Ji Shiyi lowered his eyes and did not refute. Circumventing the investigation order was not a fundamental solution. He had to come up with a way to completely resolve the problem and transform the current product line at the same time.
"How about we tear up the order?" someone suggested in a low voice.
"How about we tear you apart?" Ji Shiyi glanced at him coldly, "Jifeng will never break a contract. This is the bottom line for Chinese companies doing business overseas. I will ship as many goods as the M people order."
Ji Shiyi was too optimistic. In the middle of winter, everyone in the room was sweating.
"Boss..." The CFO raised his hand tremblingly. "Boss, I'm afraid that our current funds are not enough to develop new products. The second phase of funds for several companies in the last round of financing has not yet arrived, and... there are no other financing opportunities in the short term."
Ji Shiyi's eyelids jumped. He had known for a long time that he could not rely on capital, as those people would betray him at any time at the critical moment.
But Ji Shiyi did not show any concerns on his face.
He smiled lazily, "Lack of money? It's simple. First, increase revenue and cut expenditure. For example, I don't think it's necessary to purchase toilet paper, so just bring it yourself. The contract with W Club is temporarily suspended. All unnecessary expenses will be cut. In addition, non-R&D positions will have their salaries reduced by 30% in the first half of the year. If you feel that you have no contribution to the company, please cut down on your expenditure."
The atmosphere in the meeting room now became more solemn, and even those who had complained before were kept silent.
Ji Shiyi leaned back in the chair in a relaxed manner, almost lifting his feet up.
"I'm just kidding. Of course I don't have to worry about money. Whose son do you think I am?"
Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the boss was from a wealthy second-generation background, and the Ji family's real estate business was booming. Even if there were family discords on weekdays, if Ji Shiyi could lower his head, it would be reasonable for the Ji family to give money to help out.
Only Assistant Ma and Eva still looked livid. They knew that the Ji family had a change of heart by not adding insult to injury, and they would never help. Ji Shiyi said this just to appease people.
"Boss, the front desk said that a Mr. Wei Zhi wants to see you without an appointment. Do you want to meet him?" The assistant knocked on the door of the meeting room.
Ji Shiyi raised his eyebrows, showing interest: "See you."
Assistant Ma understood the hint. He thought that the boss meeting his love rival was a big deal. Besides, the boss was at full health and full mana due to the love buff. There was no reason not to win back. He immediately put aside his work and adjourned the meeting.
But unexpectedly, the other party came for official business.
As soon as the two sat down in Ji Shiyi's office, Wei Zhi went straight to the point.
"Boss Ji, I'm here to mediate on behalf of Skyline SL Company."
The man in front of Ji Shiyi was wearing a neat dark suit, with his hair neatly combed behind his forehead. He looked like a Wall Street elite. He was confident and calm, as if this was his true self. No wonder Jun Yi felt strange when he saw him. His business temperament, which had been immersed in society for many years, was completely different from the elegance of his student days.
"I thought Mr. Wei went to study in Country M."
"The mentor is one of the major shareholders of SL and I work for him now."
"I see." Ji Shiyi said sarcastically, "It turned out that this opportunity made the racing machine master give up the club he founded."
"People can't live in ideals." Wei Zhi smiled indifferently.
Suddenly, Ji Shiyi felt ridiculous for his previous depression and entanglement. If he had known that Wei Zhi was such a person, how could he have returned Jun Yi to him?
"Tell me, how do you want to reconcile with me?"
With the development of science and technology, drone hardware is almost the same for every manufacturer. The key to competition lies in software and creativity. Just like the closed-source iOS system, which has made Apple's products invincible for decades. SL wants the entire set of algorithms for Monsoon's flight control, including "gaze", which is the core of Monsoon's commercial drone technology.
"SL can give Jifeng the best acquisition conditions. In the future, Jifeng will become a part of SL and continue to develop its own products. At the same time, the International Trade Commission of Country M will immediately withdraw the No. 337 investigation. President Ji, you will thank SL."
"I want to thank you for taking advantage of my misfortune?" Ji Shiyi sneered. "Since Mr. Wei is also a drone enthusiast, he should know the difference between the flight control of the Little Monsoon and the SL commercial aircraft. If the lawsuit goes to court, Monsoon may not lose."
"But we don't necessarily win." Wei Zhi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, reflecting a cold light from the lenses. "As far as I know, the first batch of Little Monsoons produced uses the Xunfeng chipset, which has automatic obstacle avoidance and intelligent navigation. And all of these violate the basic rules of the World Racing Car Championship."
Ji Shiyi's heart sank, but he remained calm: "How could I break the rules? Little Monsoon obviously doesn't have an intelligent module."
Wei Yi smiled: "I have already explained all the interests involved. The choice that Mr. Ji faces is very simple."
"Only children answer multiple-choice questions." Ji Shiyi stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Please go back, Mr. Wei, and be sure to tell SL that even if Ji Feng is only a pile of ruins left, he must have the last name Ji."
I originally thought that the boss would mock his former rival, but I didn't expect that when Ji Shiyi came out of the office, his face looked even worse.
"Effective immediately, the contract between Ji Feng and the club will be terminated." Ji Shiyi thought for a moment, "Process the procedures as soon as possible and announce it on the official website tomorrow."
Assistant Ma couldn't believe his ears. Was his boss angry with his love rival again? Was he planning to break up with Miss Jun?
An hour before Jun Yi finished training, Ji Shiyi had already arrived at the club gate. He did not go to the flying field to see his girlfriend, but called Zhuo Fan at the club gate and asked someone to pick him up.
This was the scene Zhuo Fan saw when he hurried over.
The big boss, with his arm still tied in slings, draped his suit jacket over his shoulders, wore sunglasses, held a pen cap in his mouth, and signed his signatures on the fans' notebooks with one hand. His rebellious appearance, coupled with his good looks, made him look as radiant as a big star.
Ji Shiyi gave him a conceited smile.
"I said that one day all drone players in China would admire me, and it has only been half a year since I said that."
Where exactly Ji Shiyi's arrogance came from is always a mystery. However, when Zhuo Fan heard him talk about the current situation of Ji Feng and the real reason for the termination of the contract with the club, he really felt that Ji Shiyi could still maintain the same arrogance as before in such adversity. He is indeed a character.
Zhuo Fan handed Ji Shiyi a cigarette and asked, "Have you talked to Jun Yi about this?"
Ji Shiyi exhaled lightly, but his expression could not be seen clearly in the lingering white mist.
"not yet."
"What would happen if Jun Yi knew?"
"She will throw me over her shoulder and throw me out." Ji Shiyi is very self-aware, "But she has no choice, she will accept it in the end. Even without Ji Feng, you can still continue the game, and it won't affect her pursuit of victory."
Nie Qianqian is quite opposed to the official announcement of Jun Yi and Ji Shiyi's relationship, but the straight man Zhuo Fan thinks it's okay. To use a very popular saying now, Wei Zhi and Jun Yi lack a sense of CP, and the energy when they interact is one-sided. Ji Shiyi and Jun Yi trust each other and take care of each other. Although they sometimes don't give in to each other, at critical moments, they are partners who can fight back to back.
"Coach Zhuo, I've always been curious." Ji Shiyi smiled while holding a cigarette, "How did you support the club when there were no investors?"
"I kept her secretly, and I almost couldn't make ends meet. My wife threatened me that if I continued to spend money at the club, she would divorce me and take my daughter back to her parents' home."
"Master's wife?" Ji Shiyi laughed softly, "I've heard of your name for a long time. Having a child wouldn't be bad either. When do you think Jun Yi will give birth to a child for me?"
"What do you mean by giving birth?" Jun Yi stood quietly at the door, looking at the two people smoking in the office, and asked, "Princess Shiyi, why didn't you call me when you came so early?"
Ji Shiyi quickly put out the cigarette, gave Zhuo Fan a look to tell him not to say anything, and took Jun Yi out with one arm.
"I heard that you wrote random messages when signing autographs for fans. Things like forever together, a happy marriage, lovers finally get married, and if you love someone, just confess boldly?" Jun Yi pulled his arm strap. "Most people who play with drones are single. Isn't that stimulating? Princess Shiyi, is your arm injured, or is your brain injured?"
"What do you think?" Ji Shiyi asked back, "Don't you want to be with me forever and live happily ever after?"
"I do." Jun Yi smiled.
Ji Shiyi was choked by the matter-of-fact look in the girl's eyes. Her frankness and straightforwardness always made him unable to cope.
"If I..." Ji Shiyi asked casually, "If I have nothing, will you leave?"
"No." Jun Yi said without hesitation, "Besides, I won't let you be left with nothing. I will protect you, princess."
She squeezed Ji Shiyi's hand, which was in a sling, and gently held his hand: "When I win the world championship, I will be able to support you."
Since entering the Ji family, Ji Shiyi knew that material wealth could not make up for the emptiness in his heart. But at this moment, Jun Yi's somewhat naive promise made him feel relieved that he had everything. It was as if his whole heart was filled and about to overflow with honey.
"Jun Yi, this is where you're wrong." Ji Shiyi said conceitedly, "You should also consider the feelings of other pilots. You already have a boyfriend worth hundreds of millions who is handsome and considerate, and yet you still want to compete with them for the championship."
Jun Yi blinked, then suddenly leaned forward, stuck out his tongue, and licked his face affectionately.
Ji Shiyi's breathing tightened.
"Stop it."
The small lilac tongue licked the red lips, and Jun Yi recalled the touch just now: "I want to taste what your face is made of, and why it is so thick?" She must not know how seductive she is like this.
"Try it again?" After saying that, Ji Shiyi bent down, hugged the kitten in his arms, and let her taste it slowly.
In the silent corridor, only the lingering breath of the two people remained. The romantic sunset peeked out from the window, and immediately became blushing and shy.
It was already the next day when Junyi learned that the club had terminated the contract with Jifeng. The team members did not seem too surprised, and it was obvious that she was the only one who knew about it. In order to avoid the shoulder throw, Ji Shiyi ran to Japan overnight.
"Coach, why?" Jun Yi couldn't believe it.
"The external statement is that Monsoon has encountered a financial crisis and needs to cut spending."
"How can it be?"
"In fact, there was friction between Monsoon and SL. SL was the exclusive sponsor of the tournament and they didn't want the commercial conflict to affect the club's game. After all, Little Monsoon violated the rules of the tournament."
Jun Yi's heart sank, and he immediately defended himself: "Little Ji Feng did not commit any fouls in the competition. Even if the aircraft had intelligent obstacle avoidance, it was not activated at all. I'm a pilot, I know."
"But the tournament committee doesn't know." Zhuo Fan said seriously, "No one can explain this matter clearly, and I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will throw dirty water on me. Jun Yi, Ji Shi wants to protect you and the club."
The next day, the club was empty and the pilots were downgraded to guerrillas. The competition was coming up and training could not stop. Everyone raised money to rent a venue and maintain equipment. Zhuo Fan didn't even think about it and gave up his year-end bonus.
Junyi was not feeling well, and what made her even more uncomfortable was the visit of other club investors. They heard that Ji Feng was not going to respond to the lawsuit, and they were all worried.
"Why didn't Monsoon respond to the lawsuit? Isn't it a big company?"
"Ji Shiyi has the money to change the production line, but we will lose money."
The ban order issued under No. 337 is not only for Jifeng's products, but also for all drones of the same specifications in China. Those small factories that copied Jifeng will soon have to pay the price. Therefore, they all hope that Jifeng can respond to the lawsuit and win.
"Jun Yi, please help us beg President Ji." Lei Ting's investors begged her sincerely, "We can make some money from exports. If President Ji doesn't respond, we will lose the case. What should we do?"
Zhuo Fan shook his head at Jun Yi.
Jun Yi pulled down the brim of his hat and covered his eyes: "Sorry, I can't convince Ji Shiyi."
Jun Yi has never set foot in Ji Shiyi's business battlefield, and Ji Shiyi is unable to put on FPV glasses to follow her speed. The two love each other, but they do not share the same sky. Now all she can do is support him.
"How is that possible? Aren't you two lovers?" The man held Jun Yi tightly, "Your girlfriend can't even speak up? Is he really dating you? It's ok for him to ignore the small factory in the same industry, but why doesn't he even care about the club where your girlfriend works?"
"That's enough." Xiao Z came to chase them away. "You should know the truth now. If it's not a fake Jifeng drone, why are you in such a hurry now?"
The pilots separated Jun Yi from the crowd and protected her.
Zhuo Fan came out and drove those people away, patting Jun Yi on the shoulder: "Don't be stressed, this has nothing to do with you, train well and prepare for the competition."
Things did not get better from there. The drone manufacturers who failed to successfully get an explanation from Junyi began to create momentum on Weibo.
Due to Ji Shiyi’s previous arrogance and arrogance, the number of reposts and comments soared in a short period of time, and "Ji Feng should not respond to the lawsuit" became a hot search topic.
A certain organization on the Internet deliberately misled everyone and made them forget what kind of predicament Ji Feng was facing. Netizens only saw that Ji Shiyi, as a businessman, was unwilling to represent the domestic drone industry and face the investigation of the M-country International Trade Commission head-on for the sake of profit.
Jun Yi was scrolling through Weibo and knew that Ji Shiyi must have seen it too, because Ji Shiyi deleted all Weibo posts related to him. Ji Feng’s official Weibo account also deleted the post about “getting a girlfriend” and said nothing.
He is enduring.
Jun Yi tried to call Ji Shiyi several times, but was hung up each time. Then he received a WeChat message: "Busy, talk later."
In the short 24 hours when he couldn't contact Ji Shiyi, Jun Yi was anxious and finally tried to dial a number. He didn't know whether the other party was still willing to talk to her. After all, before the New Year, she had impulsively run to Guangzhou and cut off her relationship with the Wei family.
"Brother Wei Zhi, I have something I don't know how to do, I want to ask you for advice..." The call was connected, and Jun Yi was afraid that the other party would hang up, so she poured out everything in one go. After a long time without getting an answer, she asked, "Brother Wei Zhi, are you listening?"
"Yes." Wei Zhi chuckled, "I'm listening."
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm glad you came to discuss this with me." His tone was as gentle and polite as usual. In a place where Jun Yi couldn't see, his face had already revealed uncontrollable ecstasy, and he even waved his fist in the air excitedly. Ji Shiyi didn't tell Jun Yi about Wei Zhi's identity, and now, Jun Yi, who knew nothing about it, gave him a great opportunity!
"Junjun, do you know the reason why Ji Shiyi did not respond to the lawsuit?" Wei Zhi asked, suppressing his smugness.
"I heard from Coach Zhuo that Ji Shiyi didn't want to bring trouble to the club."
"If you just don't want to implicate the club, just terminate the contract. Think about what Ji Shiyi is doing." Wei Zhi knew his influence on Jun Yi very well, and deliberately guided her to go in the direction he hoped. "Jun Jun, what if Ji Shiyi originally planned to respond to the lawsuit, but was restrained by other aspects?"
The biggest problem in acquiring Jifeng is that Ji Shiyi still intends to give it a try. Wei Zhi does not know Ji Shiyi's trump card. Only by letting him voluntarily stand in the dock can SL succeed.
It's that simple. Everything will be simple in the court of Country M.
"What can hold him back? Ji Shiyi is just an arrogant person." Jun Yi said in confusion.
"As far as I know, yes. Junjun, think about what he cares about most."
What I care about most...
Beautiful scenes of him and Ji Shiyi flashed before Jun Yi's eyes. The arrogant him, the fragile and soft him, the him who rushed over desperately before the factory roof collapsed...
Jun Yi finally understood why Ji Shiyi did not respond to the lawsuit. If he did, he would have to explain to the world the difference between the performance of the first-generation Little Monsoon and the flight control of the SL. However, once the details were released, Jun Yi, who used the Little Monsoon to participate in the competition, would be finished. She would be banned for life for a serious violation.
"The one who is holding him back is... me?"
Wei Zhi's eyes sparkled. "That's right. The question now is whether you can give up the competition for Ji Shiyi. As long as you give up this year's competition, Ji Shiyi will have no scruples. According to his character, he will not let go until he fights SL to the death. By then, whether Ji Shiyi wins or loses, he will become a hero in the domestic drone industry."
Jun Yi's mind was filled with confusion. It turned out that she, like Madam Ji, had become the reason why Ji Shiyi had to endure. Ji Shiyi loved his mother and was willing to endure everything in the Ji family because his mother needed to live in the Ji family, and Ji Shiyi also loved her, so he chose to avoid the unfair lawsuit of the M countrymen so that she could continue to fly in the sky arena.
An hour later, Jun Yi summoned all the pilots.
"Everyone, I want to announce something to you as the captain of the club."
"Isn't the captain in Japan? Hahaha!"
The laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. Their captain showed a serious expression that he had never shown before, and his eyes were full of determination.
"I plan to withdraw from the next qualifying match," Jun Yi said, "and the club will give up the championship this season."
"What?" Little Z was the first to jump up and object, "Brother Yi, don't you want to win? We only have one more game left to qualify for international competitions. Isn't it our ideal to compete with top pilots?"
Jun Yi ignored it, only feeling guilty for a moment in front of Kodak's unbelievable gaze. She comforted herself that there was still next year, and the club could still participate in the new season next year, but Ji Shiyi and Ji Feng couldn't wait.
"Sister Qianqian, I'm counting on you." Jun Yi handed in the withdrawal application form in front of all the pilots.
Nie Qianqian didn't dare to answer: "Junjun, Zhuo Fan is not here today, do you want to discuss it with him first?"
“No need.” Jun Yi directly stuffed the withdrawal form into Nie Qianqian’s hand. “Just think of it as my willfulness. I want to do something for Ji Shiyi instead of being an obstacle.”
"Captain, what did Brother Gong Ming say?" a pilot questioned.
"He will support me." Jun Yi turned around and said affirmatively.
At the same time, Gong Ming sneezed.
"Who's thinking about me?" He touched his nose.
"They must be your fans." Li Jia teased him, "Gong Ming, with the traffic from your short videos, you can become an internet celebrity instead of a drone operator."
"Shut up, Lijia, take the picture and leave."
They walked in Kabukicho, Tokyo. There were few tourists in the early morning, and the empty alleys were covered in mist, making it impossible to see the whole picture. Gong Ming, whose mobile phone international data was used up, was completely isolated from the world these days and felt uncomfortable all over. Of course, if he saw the message from Xiao Z on his phone that Jun Yi was going to withdraw from the competition, he would definitely feel even more uncomfortable.
" Hey, Princess Shiyi?" Lijia suddenly pointed to the side of the path. "Ah, is that Yang Yueru next to her? Why are these two in the same frame again? Oh, he's coming over!"
The next second, Gong Ming pulled Li Jia into the alley. The alley in Kabukicho was too narrow and could only accommodate one person, so the two of them had to stay close together.
"What are you doing?" Li Jia complained, "Kimono cleaning is very expensive!"
The rented kimono was heavy and gorgeous, which made Lijia move slowly. At this moment, she leaned her whole body on Gong Ming's chest. The girl raised her hand to push Gong Ming away, and the fragrance continued to come to her face.
"do not move!"
Gong Ming's Adam's apple rolled up and down, feeling very uncomfortable. The past few days of getting along with him made him clearly realize that his childhood sweetheart Li Jia had grown into a beautiful and delicate girl, who could attract the attention of many men, including him, with a little dressing up.
Something was slowly changing between the two of them.
"I told you not to move." Gong Ming had to grab Li Jia's wrist, "Look at what Ji Shiyi is doing. He just officially announced that he is with Jun Yi."
The two of them secretly poked their heads out, and the scene in front of them made Gong Ming furious. Yang Yueru snuggled up to Ji Shiyi, and Ji Shiyi did not avoid suspicion and let her pull him.
Ah, this guy really cheated Jun Yi! Scumbag!
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lijia grabbed Gong Ming.
"I'm going to beat him up!"
However, someone soon did it for him.
The man who got out of the car punched Ji Shiyi in the face without saying a word, and Ji Shiyi fell to the ground unexpectedly.
"Jingli, don't be like this." Pregnant Yang Yueru stood between the two of them, "Shiyi really knows he was wrong this time, and he will apologize to you."
"I apologize. Bro, I was wrong."
Ji Shiyi knelt on the spot, his unhealed arm hanging on his chest, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. His embarrassment was completely seen by Gong Ming. He was no longer the high and mighty drone overlord, no longer arrogant and domineering, but just an ordinary person who dared not fight back even if he was beaten.
Ji Jingli showed an unfathomable smile on his face: "It seems that you know."
"Yes, Ji blocked all sources of funds for Ji Feng, bribed Hu Chaoqun to sabotage Xunfeng's show, manipulated Lida Capital to try to acquire Ji Feng's shares, and even arranged spies around me to work with Hu Chaoqun to almost ruin Little Ji Feng's game. This time, they even coerced Ji Feng's investors to delay the payment of the second phase." Ji Shiyi's attitude was humble, but every word he said was full of power. This was the resistance that Ji Jingli feared the most. "Brother, I know all this."
Ji Jingli slowly leaned down, approached his drooping face, and sneered.
"My brother is really smart. I've said long ago that I will destroy everything you care about. I know you want to ask me for money, but I won't give you a penny. I want to watch the little castle you worked so hard to build destroyed in an instant."
"It's a pity that someone was one step ahead of you." Ji Shiyi raised his head and stared at Ji Jingli with burning eyes, "SkyLine was one step ahead of you and snatched Ji Feng from me. If you can't get it, you can't destroy it, right, brother?"
Ji Jingli's face twisted instantly: "You want to sell Jifeng to the M countrymen?"
"There is no other way. Jifeng has no money. Even if we want to modify the production line to circumvent the exclusion order, it is too late. We have to accept SL's merger plan. After all, I still have so many employees to support." Ji Shiyi faced his brother's cold gaze without dodging, "Brother, you will give me the money. After all, this is your last chance to snatch Jifeng from me. Otherwise, you will never get it."
In response, Ji Jingli threw another heavy punch at him.
The ring on his ring finger once again cut a hole in Ji Shiyi's face. The ferocious beast no longer controlled his strength, knocked Ji Shiyi down fiercely, and then stepped hard on Ji Shiyi's injured arm, again and again, and the bones that had not yet recovered made a terrible cracking sound.
Ji Shiyi said nothing, just like he endured every time he was abused, and just bent his body to protect his broken bones. Ji Jingli was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he kicked him in the chest.
"That's enough, Jingli, you're going to beat him to death, that's enough!"
Yue Ru screamed and rushed forward to grab Ji Jingli, but Ji Jingli, with red eyes, could not control his violence. He swung his hand and hit Yue Ru in the abdomen. The force was so great that Yue Ru immediately fell backwards in horror.
"Madam!" The driver rushed out of the car.
But it was too late. As if in slow motion, the pregnant Yang Yueru fell heavily to the ground, holding her belly and wailing.
Ji Shiyi turned over with great effort, his chest pain was unbearable. In his blurred vision, he saw his brother had picked up Yueru and hurriedly drove away in the car.
"Princess Shiyi!" Lijia rushed out from her hiding place, "Are you okay? I'll call an ambulance for you."
Gong Ming had never seen Ji Shiyi in such an awkward state. They only looked at each other for a moment, and Gong Ming turned his head away uncomfortably. His heart was beating fast, as if he was not used to seeing Ji Shiyi in such an awkward state.
"There's no need for . I only take luxury cars above Class C." With the help of Li Jia, Ji Shiyi stood up from the ground, holding his chest. "Don't tell anyone about what happened just now, okay?"
Seeing Ji Shiyi about to leave, Gong Ming blocked his way: "Ji Shiyi, what are you doing? Is Jifeng out of money and going to close down?"
"Forget it, Gong Ming." Li Jia pulled him, "It's someone else's family matter."
"I can't let it go." Gong Ming refused to compromise, "I can't hand Jun Yi over to such a person!"
Ji Shiyi finally looked at Gong Ming straight in the eye and explained lazily: "Ji Feng is in crisis and does need a lot of money. Otherwise, how can I support my employees and the club? My brother has a lot of money and he likes to snatch things from me, so I gave him a chance."
"You are planning to..." Gong Ming looked at him incredulously, as if he understood something. "You will lose the company."
"Young man, this is the difference between you and me. My bet has always been much bigger than yours." Ji Shiyi took out sunglasses from his pocket with trembling hands and put them on to cover the horrific wound on his face, as if he was still the arrogant Ji Shiyi.
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand." Lijia didn't understand.
"Don't tell Junyi what happened today. I don't have ideals, but that doesn't stop me from fully supporting her." Ji Shiyi raised his intact hand and patted Gong Ming's shoulder with difficulty. "This is an agreement between men. It's agreed."
After saying goodbye to the two, Ji Shiyi staggered into an izakaya, took out his cell phone tremblingly, and dialed a number.
"Old classmate, are you free to meet up? I know you are also in Tokyo."
The young PV of Leader Capital screamed, "Shi Yi, I... I don't know anything. I didn't threaten other investors. Jifeng's last bidding financing really offended a lot of people. In addition, the current foreign trade situation is unstable. It's all because of your brother... No one dares to invest in Jifeng anymore."
Chen Zisheng confessed everything before he could even say anything, which made Ji Shiyi feel amused.
"Zisheng, when you were in school, you were the only one whose attitude towards me did not change before and after I went to the Ji family. I used to treat you as my best friend. When your mother was sick, I gave you the money I earned from working secretly. You said you would make a lot of money in the future to help everyone."
Chen Zisheng was silent.
Life is like this, ideals are full, but reality is skinny.
Lida had been a puppet of the Ji family for a long time. Chen Zisheng knew that his betrayal was also part of Ji Jingli's plan. He would rather face Ji Shiyi's usual indifference and disgust towards him, but he couldn't stand Ji Shiyi mentioning the past.
"Ji Jingli has given up all his capital, so that you can only give him the chips." Family, friendship, love, ideals, beliefs... whatever Ji Shiyi has, Ji Jingli will take it away. Chen Zisheng gritted his teeth and said, "That's all I can say. I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Who asked for your help? Zisheng, you just need to follow Ji Jingli's request and do everything you can to buy Ji Feng. I really need his money to tide over the difficulties." Ji Shiyi said calmly, "However, we have to delay the time for a week. Can you do it?"
"Do you trust me?" Chen Zisheng didn't understand what Ji Shi was planning.
Ji Shiyi smiled: "Someone told me that the relationship between people should be based on mutual trust. I want to try to give you my trust again and ask for something in return."
