Chapter 9 Winning is not the goal, you are
The morning light carefully leaped into the top-floor residence, illuminating the owner's first sweet dream in a long time.
In the dream, the young Ji Shiyi was not taken to the old house of the Ji family by his mother. In the dream, he met a little girl. In the dream, they grew up together and quarreled until love came at the right time.
"Princess?"
He heard someone laughing in his ear.
"I'm not……"
Ji Shiyi resisted this shameful nickname, but in her dream she saw herself in a pink dress, waiting for the prince. Then the prince really came, holding a sword and riding the wind, cutting through all the thorns around him, and shouting back the darkness that was trying to swallow everything, like a heroic king.
"Will you come with me, Princess?" the king asked.
Ji Shiyi's heart moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
In the dream, Jun Yi was very close, with cat-like black eyes that were bright and pure, flashing with the wit and beauty of a girl. He couldn't help but reach out from under the quilt, hugged Jun Yi and brought him to the bed, and kissed the girl's neck and cheeks intimately.
"Hey, Princess, wake up!" Jun Yi struggled carefully, not wanting to be dragged onto the bed, but also afraid of pressing down on his injured hand. "I want to go to the park. I came here because you said there was a big park at home."
Ji Shiyi paused, as if he had finally come to his senses. He stopped harassing Jun Yi and turned over.
"Sleep a little longer."
The two of them slept in separate rooms last night, so they couldn't let their efforts go to waste now. Unexpectedly, Jun Yi didn't give up so easily. She quietly crawled to the other side of the bed, lay down next to Ji Shiyi, and blew air on his fan-like eyelashes.
"Wake up, princess. We agreed to go to the park, or I can go by myself. Open the door, I can't use the electronic lock."
Ji Shiyi dodged repeatedly because of Jun Yi's blowing, but she refused to give up and blew air not only on his face, but also on his neck and chest. The warm and sweet breath tickled him like a cat's claw, making him feel hot all over and his mouth dry.
“Don’t…”
"If you're ticklish, get up... woooo!"
Jun Yi's aggressiveness forced Ji Shiyi to reach out and hold the back of her head, and cover her mouth with her lips. It was a long and passionate kiss, and the inexperienced Jun Yi could not resist. He was panting under Ji Shiyi's kiss, his rosy lips were shining, and his eyes were as romantic as the morning light.
"If you teach me how to breathe, I can do it well next time." Jun Yi said unwillingly.
"Breathe?" The positive attitude of the good student Jun Yi amused Ji Shiyi, "Why don't you let me teach you how to swim? Who fell into the lake to pick up the airplane and almost drowned himself?"
"It was just an accident!" Jun Yi suddenly thought of something. "By the way, Princess, what did you dream about just now? Something about a prince, a monarch, or a fairy tale?"
Ji Shiyi turned his face away uncomfortably. It was enough for him to know the embarrassing dream alone.
By the time the two of them finished washing up and playing, it was already noon. After a simple brunch, Jun Yi picked up Ji Feng and waited eagerly to go out.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Ji Shiyi put on his shoes while looking down at his phone. He flipped through the list of high-end restaurants in his favorites, and wanted to take Jun Yi to try every one of them.
"Hey, I haven't finished eating what I made yesterday."
"There's no point in eating leftovers on New Year's Day." Ji Shiyi laughed at her and pushed the door open.
The woman outside the door looked surprised.
"Shi Yi!"
Ji Shiyi closed the door immediately and almost hit the woman's nose.
He turned around and said seriously to Jun Yi who was putting on his shoes, "Why don't we talk about what to eat first and then go out later."
Jun Yi asked suspiciously, "I heard a sound, who is that person at the door?"
The doorbell rang loudly, as if saying: It's me, it's me.
"Open the door, princess. If you don't open it, I will." Jun Yi was about to open the door, but unexpectedly, Ji Shiyi pulled him back and hid behind him.
The door was opened again, and the light from the room illuminated the woman at the door. She was wearing a retro cheongsam, with a graceful figure and a face that was 70% similar to Ji Shiyi, but with a little more softness and refinement.
"Mom came to see you. I heard you were injured." The woman picked up the exaggerated gift box on the ground. "It's so heavy. Help mom."
The moment she bent down, Mrs. Ji saw the girl behind Ji Shiyi who was looking at her curiously. It seemed that she did not expect to see a woman in Ji Shiyi's residence on New Year's Day.
"Who is this……"
"Hello, Auntie." Jun Yi came out from behind Ji Shiyi without hesitation, and Ji Shiyi couldn't stop him. "My name is Jun Yi, and Ji Shiyi is my boyfriend from last night."
She said it so proudly that Ji Shiyi couldn't help but smile proudly, as if being called her boyfriend was something worth bragging about.
"What are you laughing at, aren't you?"
"Yes, you are. My dear girlfriend." Ji Shiyi hugged her with his intact hand and kissed her hair affectionately, completely ignoring the fact that his mother accidentally dropped the gift box and stood in front of her.
There was a loud "wow" and the two people who were in love were startled.
Mrs. Ji, who was standing at the door, suddenly burst into tears. She couldn't stop crying, as if the world was ending.
"Shi Yi finally has a girlfriend, wuwuwuwu... Don't bother me, I'm just too happy, wuwuwuwu..."
I cried for an hour.
Jun Yi handed tissues to Madam Ji one by one. He didn't know that a person's eyes could squeeze out so many tears, and he didn't know that rich ladies could be so down-to-earth. In the movies, all the scenes were about rich ladies throwing out checks and telling people to get out immediately.
Madam Ji sobbed and held Jun Yi's hand tightly: "What a good child, Shi Yi didn't wrong you, did he? It's just an injury, but you are asked to take care of me during the New Year."
"No, I'm not wronged at all." Jun Yi quickly denied it and honestly told Ji Shiyi how he got injured.
"Is that so..." Madam Ji's beautiful eyes widened with a relieved expression, "That's great, I thought he was fighting , but it turns out he was a hero saving a beautiful girl. Shiyi, you have grown up, mom is so happy."
The idea was a bit strange... Jun Yi couldn't help but cast his eyes on Ji Shiyi, who had never said a word. He folded his arms across his chest, leaning back on the sofa, showing obvious impatience. Jun Yi blinked and smiled at him, saying with his eyes: Your mother is really interesting, I like her.
Unexpectedly, his mother would suddenly visit him, and Jun Yi caught her right in the act. If it were any other day, Ji Shiyi would have driven his mother away long ago, but he saw the light in Jun Yi's eyes. The little girl had lost her parents since she was young, and she was curious about all kinds of family relationships. Just bear with it, Ji Shiyi was reluctant to ruin Jun Yi's thoughts, and said, "If mother is willing, you can stay for dinner together."
These may be the warmest words Ji Shiyi has ever said to Madam Ji after he became an adult.
Mrs. Ji, who was encouraged, suddenly wiped away her tears and became energetic: "Why don't we go home to eat? Your father hasn't seen you for a long time. Junyi can come too. Don't worry, your brother and sister-in-law will not be here during the New Year."
Ji Shiyi snorted coldly, speaking as if he was afraid of them.
"Just have a meal. Shiyi, you haven't been home for a meal for a long time. Isn't it nice for our family to be together? Junyi must come too. I will cook for you myself. Junyi, what do you think?"
Jun Yi always spent the New Year at someone else's house, not because she had nowhere to go because the dormitory was closed, but because she wanted to pretend that she also had a home during the family reunion festival. Under Madam Ji's cordial invitation, Jun Yi was soon moved, with a little light in his eyes, full of anticipation.
"Junyi, do you like eating fish? The 'braised water fish' I made was loved by Shiyi when he was a child. But he never came home when he grew up, so I never had the chance to show off my cooking skills." Mrs. Ji held Junyi's hand and chattered to him, her palms soft and warm.
"That's enough." Ji Shiyi raised his eyes and said to his mother, "I won't go back. As long as I don't show up, the Ji family will be at peace. I'm doing this for you, mother, and for my brother, hiss..."
Ji Shiyi twisted his body to one side in pain, and Jun Yi pinched his waist fiercely under the table. Ji Shiyi dared not speak out his anger, and his eyes were filled with grievance, which was very different from the arrogant attitude that outsiders knew.
He rubbed his burning waist and glared at her. Didn't he know how strong her hands were?
"If I have the chance to see my parents again, I will definitely go home for dinner during the Chinese New Year," said Jun Yi.
Ji Shiyi choked. There were too many reasons for not going back to the old house. In Jun Yi's expectant eyes, those shadows that once chased him like a flood or a beast became insignificant.
He was silent for a moment, and finally compromised: "Okay, let's go have a meal."
"Thank you, Junyi, it's all thanks to you!" Mrs. Ji was overjoyed. She hugged the petite girl and kissed her face passionately, as if the lost maternal love was regained from the girl.
Ji Shiyi had a cold face but a curled mouth, and she peeked at Jun Yi's happy smile from the corner of her eye.
The Ji family's old house is located in the western suburbs of Shanghai. When little Ji Shiyi came here for the first time with her mother, she was shocked by the magnificent buildings that looked like European castles and thought that this was the birthplace of fairy tales.
"So beautiful." Jun Yi gave the same compliment as Ji Shiyi did back then, "It's simply like a castle."
The afternoon sun cast a layer of romantic warmth on the Gothic building, and the light reflected by the colored glass fell on the ground, faintly showing the colors of the rainbow. For a moment, Ji Shiyi couldn't even reconcile the bright scene in front of him with the dark mansion in his memory.
"Princess, I want to see your room!" The girl excitedly pulled him up the stairs, and her light footsteps tapped on the ancient wooden structure, making a crisp echo.
The room of the young Ji Shiyi was completely different from the arrogant large flat in the city center. It was well-behaved, exquisite and restrained. Perhaps it had been uninhabited for a long time, so it looked deserted and lonely. An old helicopter model on the bookshelf attracted Jun Yi. It was perhaps the only thing in the room that looked like it belonged to Ji Shiyi.
Jun Yi carefully touched the propeller, and the aging machine made a click and fell to the table, breaking directly. The cat's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly put the propeller back.
“This model has some history, right?”
"It was given to me by someone when I was a child." Ji Shiyi didn't seem to notice Jun Yi's little action.
She moved to the other side, her eyes shining.
"Wow, it's the Spaceman sci-fi comics, I have the complete set too!"
"When our Shiyi was a child, he loved the sky very much." Madam Ji smiled, "He thought he was the son of an astronaut."
As he was speaking, a man who looked like a butler appeared at the door of the room.
"Master, Mr. Ji has woken up and wants to see you."
Ji Shiyi stopped smiling and his body stiffened. He hadn't seen his father for a long time, ever since his father fell ill.
"Go quickly, what are you waiting for?" Jun Yi suddenly slapped him on the back.
The force was so strong that Ji Shiyi staggered a few steps. His back hurt so much that the wounded man grimaced, but Jun Yi's palm also shattered his hesitation. What was to come would come, and it was just right that he had to make his words clear.
"Jun Yi."
Ji Shiyi suddenly called her seriously, causing her to stop smiling jokingly.
“What…what are you doing?”
He stared deeply into the girl's eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn't express them. In the end, he only said a few words: "Wait for me to come back."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Jun Yi." Madam Ji smiled and took Jun Yi's hand, "We will go to the small garden to wait for you."
After Ji Shiyi walked away, Madam Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief and held Jun Yi's hand gratefully.
"Thanks to you, Junyi, they haven't seen each other for several years. Shiyi refuses to go home, and the old man's health is getting worse day by day. I'm really worried that they will never see each other again."
"No, I didn't do anything." Jun Yi was confused by Madam Ji's enthusiasm. "There is no problem that cannot be solved as a family. Just talk openly and honestly."
"You're right. Shiyi is such a jerk. Why does he have to disobey Jingli? When Jingli gets what he wants, he will naturally stop demanding too much from him." Madam Ji's eyes were filled with innocence that didn't match her actual age. She said wishfully, "Uncles and uncles died or scattered because they didn't obey. Several factions fought until only Shiyi and Jingli were left. Why can't Shiyi be more obedient and get along well with Jingli?"
"What do you mean?" Jun Yi suddenly felt horrified.
The two were walking into the courtyard behind the old house. In the quiet garden in early spring, the flowers had not yet awakened, and only a few tall evergreen trees decorated the facade. The Ji family's old house has a history of more than 50 years, just like the old tree in front of them, with deep roots.
"I thought you knew." Madam Ji smiled innocently, "Jingli is the old man's first son, and Shiyi and I are later. When Shiyi was a child, he was often bullied by Jingli. In addition to his face, his body was covered with wounds. I told him to just bear with it and not to fight like his uncles and uncles. Shiyi used to listen to me very much, so he was able to grow up like this."
Madam Ji told the thrilling secrets in an innocent tone. Jun Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look at her in confusion. The middle-aged woman had an innocent smile that only a young girl had on her face. The complicated love, hatred and vengeance of the Ji family were blocked out of her cognition, and her mind seemed to have not grown up, always stagnating at the moment she stepped into this huge castle.
This is Ji Shiyi's mother. She closed herself off and did not give any help to the young Ji Shiyi, only asking him to be tolerant. The huge building behind him is the Ji family's true form. It opened its bloody mouth and devoured every member of the Ji family with benefits as bait.
If you want to maintain your self, you have to close your senses and escape from there. Why Ji Shiyi severed his relationship with the Ji family, why he hated being called a rich second generation, and why he was poor when he started his business, everything is clear.
Jun Yi felt a little regretful that she had actually instigated Ji Shiyi to return to such a home.
"ah!"
Madam Ji suddenly screamed, startling Jun Yi so much that he jumped up.
"Don't step on it!" Madam Ji pointed at Jun Yi's feet, "Shi Yi buried his cat here."
There is an inconspicuous mound of earth under the big tree. Over time, purple wild flowers grow on it. It looks inconspicuous, but it has important significance to Ji Shiyi.
"When Shi Yi was a child, he liked a wild cat on the corridor outside the old house very much. When he first moved in, he was not close to his brother and did not dare to talk to his father. He could only play with the kitten." Mrs. Ji was immersed in memories.
Later, Xiao Ji Shiyi brought the kitten home and secretly kept it in the yard, thinking that he could see it every day and play with it every day. For a while, he really got what he wanted and was very happy. But one day, the kitten suddenly died. It was said that it was poisoned by rat poison, but the kitten never ate anything other than the cat food he placed.
Ji Shiyi was very sad and buried it with his own hands. After that, he experienced many things, which made the young boy gradually understand the horror of this old house. If he had not brought the kitten back, it would not have died. Just like if he had not clamored for his father's love, he would not have completely lost his father's love.
Before he became an adult, Ji Shiyi, who used to live a cautious life, made another mistake. This time he wanted to gain the trust and promise of his childhood sweetheart Yueru, but ended up losing her.
"Yueru is Shiyi's sister-in-law now. It's good that they are still a family." Madam Ji didn't seem to care what her son had lost. At least he didn't lose any limbs like his uncles who didn't know how to live or die.
Jun Yi finally understood Ji Shiyi's strange complex. He didn't ask for emotional return from others, not because he didn't want it, but because he was afraid of not getting it, because anyone who asked for it would end up badly. He was obviously an arrogant guy, but he was humble and sensitive in interpersonal relationships.
Feeling a pain in his heart, Jun Yi rubbed his red eyes and said to Madam Ji: "Thank you for telling me this. I will treat Ji Shiyi very well in the future."
Madam Ji was startled, then she looked at her seriously and said, "Can I be your mother-in-law?"
"ah?"
Madam Ji cleared her throat, her eyes were unusually clear: "Shi Yi does have problems with interpersonal relationships. Although it's not to the point where he needs to see a doctor, I'm worried that he may never propose to you, so let me, as your mother, do it. Jun Yi, my dear, whether you are rich or poor, healthy or ill, I will promise to love you and treat you well. Can I be your mother-in-law?"
Jun Yi was completely unable to keep up with the other person's mental journey. Just as she was stunned, she saw a man in a black coat striding towards them.
The cold eyebrows, icy aura and his cold appearance, which was no less than Ji Shiyi's, immediately reminded Jun Yi of his identity - a creditor. How could he appear in the old house of the Ji family?
I can't care about that anymore, I just need to protect my mother-in-law! Jun Yi's small body stood between Madam Ji and the man, ready to use her best shoulder throw at any time.
"Jingli." Madam Ji exclaimed.
"Young Master!" The servant bowed.
Jun Yi was struck by lightning and turned his head stiffly: "What did you call him?"
"Let me introduce you. This is Shi Yi's elder brother, Jingli, Ji Jingli." Madam Ji pulled Jun Yi to her side.
It's the eldest brother! How come he doesn't look like him at all?
Finished! She actually threw Ji Shiyi's eldest brother to the ground in front of so many people in Ji Shiyi's company. What did Madam Ji say just now? Anyone who goes against him will be maimed or killed?
At this moment, Ji Jingli was also frowning and looking Jun Yi up and down, his gloomy eyes scanning her face.
"Are you the girl Shiyi brought home?"
"Junyi is my newly-adopted daughter-in-law." Madam Ji admitted generously.
As if he had gotten used to his stepmother's innocent behavior, Ji Jingli did not show the same surprise as Jun Yi.
"Welcome, Junyi." Ji Jingli smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "The Ji family welcomes you."
Just like a cat tensing in front of a powerful opponent, Jun Yi got goose bumps all over his body - fortunately, the other party did not recognize him. As expected, they are two brothers. They can't be recognized after changing their clothes. It's really great!
"By the way, Junyi." Madam Ji suggested excitedly, "I'll take you to the greenhouse to see how beautiful the flowers I grow are! I want to give them to you."
Jun Yi was eager to get rid of Ji Jingli and quickly said goodbye to him.
Looking at the two people walking away in a hurry, the fake smile on Ji Jingli's face disappeared, leaving only a cold light in his eyes. He stepped on the small mound under the tree with his expensive leather shoes and walked into the house.
The small purple flowers blooming on the mound were crushed silently.
Passing by the second floor, Ji Jingli noticed the room where Ji Shiyi lived when he was young. The door was open. He walked in and his eyes fell on the antique helicopter model on the bookshelf. The bearing of the propeller was loose and fell on the table.
The helicopter was a gift from Ji Jingli as a brother to Ji Shiyi when he first came to the mansion. At that time, the young boy was so happy. The past events were still vivid in his mind. Ji Jingli carefully picked up the wing, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the dust, and after carefully examining it, he took out a screwdriver from the tool box on the side.
Jun Yi only waited in the greenhouse for a short while before he saw Ji Shiyi.
"How is it? Is your dad okay?"
"He's fine, we chatted for a while." Ji Shiyi smiled and pretended to be relaxed.
"Then let's go." Jun Yi walked forward and held him.
"Hmm? Don't you want to eat at Ji's?"
"Jingli is back." Madam Ji lowered her head and touched the stamen of the tulip.
Even if he pretended to be calm, Jun Yi could feel the tension in Ji Shiyi's arm muscles. For Jun Yi, who lost his parents when he was young, family was a warm beacon; but for Ji Shiyi, the Ji family was just a ferocious beast. For Jun Yi's extravagant wish, he endured and restrained himself, standing in front of the roaring beast, and even smiled.
Jun Yi felt distressed and guilty, and didn't want Ji Shiyi to stay in the Ji family anymore, not even for a second.
"Let me introduce you to my new mother-in-law." Jun Yi took Madam Ji's hand and said to Ji Shiyi, "Since we are all so familiar with each other, why don't we go out for dinner to celebrate?"
"Mother-in-law?" Ji Shiyi stared in surprise at her mother who was even more innocent than the girl next to her.
"Yes, Shiyi, I proposed to you on your behalf!" Madam Ji said as if to take credit.
The three of them drove away happily, leaving the cold and gloomy mansion behind. None of them noticed that the light in Ji Shiyi's room was on, symmetrical with the brightly lit ward of Mr. Ji, like a pair of eyes of a giant beast lurking in the dark.
"Master, the master wants you to come over. He looks very angry. The doctor just gave him an injection. I'm afraid..." The housekeeper hurried over.
"Hush!" Ji Jingli made a gesture to silence the sound, and focused on the subtle modulation of his hands without raising his head. He listened to the subtle sound between the gears, frowned, and slowly tightened the nut, as if he was treating a delicate work of art.
After a moment, he asked casually, "Where is Shi Yiren?"
"After meeting the old master, the young master took Miss Jun away, saying that he had something urgent to do and would not stay for dinner."
Hearing this, Ji Jingli dropped the model machine to the ground.
The helicopter that had just been repaired was shattered into scrap metal, and its parts were scattered everywhere. He raised his foot and stomped hard on the pile of things. The metal wings groaned as they were torn and broken, but this did not stop Ji Jingli from being violent. It seemed that only by crushing them into dust could he dispel the evil in his heart.
The butler was not surprised. He bowed respectfully to Ji Jingli and left, leaving the room to continue to hear the thumping of heavy objects falling and the crashing of furniture.
Looking at the mess in the house, Ji Jingli's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were filled with a terrifying anger. He couldn't let himself get satisfaction from such simple destruction, so he took out his cell phone from his suit pocket with trembling hands and dialed a number.
"My patience is limited." Ji Jingli raised his lips and said to the other party in a gentle and elegant tone that was completely different from his brutality, "I have made it very clear when I asked you to contact me. Just go ahead and do it. Also, you'd better not disappoint me."
He would spare no effort to destroy anything Ji Shiyi wanted. In order to increase the fun, he had to make Ji Shiyi care more about it before destroying it. His father was like this, his cat was like this, and Yueru was like this too...
Ji Jingli wanted to take everything away from Ji Shiyi and enjoy his every collapse.
The short seven-day holiday is over, and the school has not yet started, but the club has already started preparing for the last qualifying match. After more than half a year of regular season, W Flying Club is ranked high in points, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will successfully enter the Asian qualifiers and step onto the international stage.
Just when everything seemed to be on track, suddenly there was a thunderclap that left everyone burnt inside and out.
The official Weibo of Jifeng updated a message: I wish to be a pair of flying swallows, envying the mandarin ducks instead of the celestial beings. Congratulations to the boss for getting a girlfriend!
The accompanying picture is a photo of Ji Shiyi and Jun Yi taken on the top of the mountain using a drone.
He was just accused of having an affair with his sister-in-law, and now he has officially announced his relationship with one of his pilots. Aren’t Mr. Ji’s emotions fluctuating a little too frequently?
Some netizens angrily commented on the official Weibo account: Does being handsome and rich mean you can do whatever you want?
Soon, this comment was pinned by the blogger.
Because the big boss of Jifeng himself responded to this, Ji Shiyi only wrote one word: Yes.
Following the reply, netizens clicked on Ji Shiyi's arrogant personal Weibo, and various scenic spots were presented in front of them from a unique flying perspective, such as the Singapore Sands Hotel, Sanya Yalong Bay, Bali Mount Agung, Jiuzhaigou Mirror Lake... In just a few days of vacation, the handsome and rich Ji Shiyi took his girlfriend and a drone to pose for a whole set of National Geographic magazines.
Whether it is making products or dating, she is always vigorous and arrogant. For a public figure to do this, the media really hates and loves Ji Shiyi.
Soon, Junyi's identity was revealed - the female pilot who ranked first in the world's individual points in the Drone Racing World Championship. Major media outlets also popularized the science of racing drones, and with a few Star Wars-like competition videos, many people became fans.
Jifeng took the opportunity to launch pink FPV glasses, which are compatible with dual-lens mode. The slogan is "Take her to fly together", and the official website was instantly flooded with reservations.
"Brother Yi, is this true?"
As soon as the person arrived at the club, he was surrounded by his teammates, all of whom were very angry.
"Captain, you've been deceived!"
"It must be Ji Shiyi who threatened the captain."
"Brother Yi has made great sacrifices for the club!"
"Even if I get hurt for Brother Yi, I can't let Brother Yi give himself to me!"
"Brother Yi, it turns out you like boys!"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Jun Yi quickly said, "I lost the bet, and it was made public. I just didn't expect the princess to be so cruel."
With this attitude, Ji Shiyi wanted to broadcast his love to the whole universe.
"What bet?" everyone asked curiously.
"Princess Shiyi said that her family had a big park, but I didn't believe it. After all, it was in the city center, and every inch of land was worth a lot of money. Later, you all saw it..."
Later, the princess proved with her strength that the whole world was her family's park. This bite of dog food caught everyone off guard.
"So, you two are really together?"
Jun Yi nodded, his cheeks flushed, revealing a rare shy attitude.
The older boys suddenly stopped talking. They finally realized that the most reliable flight captain, the club's main force who was brave and forward-looking, was actually just a girl in her early twenties. Now she was in love, sweet and beautiful, like a peeled lychee, tender and juicy.
"Spring is here!" someone sighed, "Let's go."
"Junjun," Nie Qianqian called Junyi seriously, "Let's talk."
Jun Yi was called into the club's office. Nie Qianqian closed the door and frowned.
"Why don't you go to Country M with Wei Zhi? Isn't being with Wei Zhi what you want, Junjun?"
"What I want is to fly a racing plane." Jun Yi answered seriously and without reservation, "I am very grateful to Brother Wei Zhi for his help all the time. He saved my childhood and led me into the world of drones, but this time I want to choose my own future path and the person who will walk with me."
"Ji Shiyi is not a good person." Nie Qianqian chose her words carefully, "Junjun, instead of wasting your youth on someone like Ji Shiyi, you should find someone better."
"I don't plan to waste my youth on anyone." There seemed to be dancing sparks in Jun Yi's black pupils, brilliant and blazing, burning Nie Qianqian so much that she dared not look directly at him. "I like Ji Shiyi, and I also like myself for liking Ji Shiyi. Sister Qianqian, I don't want to become like you."
Nie Qianqian was startled, a barely perceptible panic flashed across her face. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by Xiao Z who rushed into the office.
"Brother Yi! Brother Gong Ming sent a congratulatory message from Japan." Little Z saw Gong Ming's message and said loudly, imitating his tone, "Brother Yi, you've been fooled. Ji Shiyi is just using you!"
Gong Ming has been saying bad things about Ji Shiyi for more than a day or two, and the steel-toothed boy has never understood why he always has such a deep-rooted hostility towards his financier.
"Hahaha, don't mind it. Brother Gong Ming was just joking. He said he would be back in two days." Little Z grinned. "Let's go, training is about to begin."
Jun Yi said goodbye to Nie Qianqian, who was hesitant to speak, and tied up her long hair, and followed Xiao Z down to the first floor. As she walked, she took out her cell phone, and Ji Shiyi's message flashed on the screen.
"I'll pick you up after training."
"Okay, princess, see you later." Jun Yi sent a message back and walked to the sidelines to hand in his phone. She put on FPV glasses to hide her high spirits, but the sweetness leaked out from the corners of her upturned mouth.
Things weren’t so sweet on the other side.
"Boss! Please be serious!" Eva slammed the table in front of Ji Shiyi.
At the Ji Feng emergency meeting, all the management were in a hurry, but Ji Shiyi was still in the mood to flirt with his girlfriend, and only Eva dared to yell at him.
"Calm down." Ji Shiyi put away his phone and leaned back in his chair. "It's just a lawsuit."
Monsoon has been involved in many lawsuits, but this time is different. SkyLine of the United States accused Monsoon and several domestic drone manufacturers of infringing SL's multi-rotor flight controller patent registered in the United States by exporting drone products to the United States in accordance with Article 337 of the United States Tariff Act.
Investigation No. 337 is actually a trade barrier set up on the grounds of patent and intellectual property protection. Hisense, Lenovo, and OPPO have all been tripped up. If they do not respond to the lawsuit or lose the case, the US Trade Association will immediately issue an exclusion order to completely ban similar products exported by Monsoon and even Chinese companies.
"Shameless!" A certain Monsoon executive slammed the table angrily. "I checked everything. It's obvious that they bought technology that is similar to ours and are deliberately trying to rip us off."
The older ones frowned and said, "The trade friction between the two countries is serious now. The International Trade Commission of Country M will definitely look at the problems of Chinese companies through a microscope. SL is taking advantage of the situation by making trouble at this time!"
"Don't worry! Even if it's put under a microscope, Ji Feng can win this lawsuit!"
"Besides, if Jifeng doesn't respond to the lawsuit, will it ask other small factories to respond to the lawsuit? Even though they are all implicated for plagiarizing Jifeng."
"This is a matter that needs to be considered carefully. If we lose the case, Monsoon will lose 70% of its current sales."
The conference room was in chaos. Compared to everyone else who was extremely nervous, Ji Shiyi was refreshed and in high spirits.
"Boss, what do you say?" Eva asked.
No matter what opinions the top management of Jifeng or even shareholders have, they are not as important as Ji Shiyi's words. He holds 59% of the shares and is the dictator of Jifeng.
"Instead of fighting the lawsuit, it is better to put time and energy into developing new products." Ji Shiyi seemed to have made up his mind long ago. "Even if an exclusion order is issued in the 337 investigation, it will only target existing products. Jifeng only needs to adopt an evasive strategy and optimize its products before the exclusion order is issued."
"The North American orders for Little Monsoon have exceeded 100,000. It will be more expensive to hastily change the production line now. We used to lose money on each unit we sold, but now we lose money on each box we sell." Eva reminded him, "Maybe this is SL's conspiracy, using lawsuits and order delivery deadlines to make Monsoon's turnover difficult. Moreover, now No. 337 is targeting Little Monsoon, what about the next time? As long as the trade friction between the two countries does not end, SL will continue to launch investigations into Monsoon's new products until Monsoon is brought down."
