234: I know you're anxious, but please don't panic.
"Oh... President Lin!"
Li Mo's voice trembled slightly, a product of mixed extreme excitement and lingering fear.
He looked at Lin Yu, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying onto his face, which looked as if it were about to burst into tears.
"Why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming! I... I could have gone to pick you up!"
This sentence was like a divine thunderbolt descending from the heavens. It crashed down on Feng Rui's head, and also struck the hearts of everyone present.
"You?" "Pick you up?" When these two words came out of Li Mo's mouth, they carried a weight that made it hard for people to breathe.
Feng Rui felt the world spinning, and he could barely stand.
Sun Zhi, behind him, turned pale with fear, subconsciously retreating two more steps, wishing he could shrink into a crack in the ground.
Zhang Hao and Li Qian, that pair of former geniuses, now had their mouths agape, staring blankly at this scene, as if watching the most absurd magical drama.
As for Wang Qingxuan, she felt that her time to shine had arrived; she was here to help Lin Yu handle everything in today's negotiation!
In the entire venue, only Lin Yu remained. He was still in his lazy posture, hands in his pockets, as if this grand scene, capable of overturning the Linzhou business world, had nothing to do with him.
He looked at Li Mo, who was almost kneeling before him, and then glanced at Feng Rui, who had completely petrified beside him. Then, he smiled.
He spoke slowly, his tone flat, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"It's you."
Lin Yu nodded at Li Mo, acknowledging him.
Li Mo was flattered and bent even lower: "It's me, it's me, President Lin, you..."
Before he could finish, Lin Yu raised his hand and interrupted him.
Lin Yu's finger pointed casually at Feng Rui, whose face was ashen.
"That won't do," he said unhurriedly. "This... President Feng? He said I'm not welcome here. He told me to leave."
Lin Yu's words carried no emotion. It was as if he were stating a simple fact.
But to Li Mo's ears, it sounded like a death knell!
Li Mo's body trembled violently, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Feng Rui.
In that instant, the panic and obsequiousness on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a cold, bone-chilling murderous intent capable of slicing a person to ribbons!
Feng Rui!
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yu added another sentence to Li Mo.
"The host has issued an eviction order, so as a guest, I can't just loiter here, can I? Don't you agree?"
After saying this, he even politely nodded slightly in Feng Rui's direction as a farewell.
Then, he turned around, took the hand of Wang Qingxuan, who had just gotten motivated, and strode out toward the park gate, walking as leisurely as if he were taking a stroll in a courtyard.
He left. He just left like that.
Li Mo was completely stunned. He stood there foolishly.
This wasn't how the script was written! Boss, don't go! It wasn't easy for me to set up this meeting! This was all prepared for you! What am I supposed to do if you leave!
Feng Rui was also stunned. He looked at Lin Yu's departing back, then at the murderous Li Mo beside him, his brain turning into mush.
The hundreds of employees and executives around them didn't even dare to breathe. The entire magnificent production park fell into a deathly silence, eerie to the extreme.
Everyone watched as the young man in cheap sportswear, holding hands with a beautiful girl, walked further and further away amidst countless gazes of shock, astonishment, and fear.
The crowd subconsciously parted a path for him. It was like Moses parting the sea.
In the back, Old Shi, who had been resting with his eyes closed in a detached manner, had opened his eyes at some unknown moment.
In his cloudy but deep eyes, for the first time, a look of "surprise and suspicion" appeared.
He looked at Li Mo, who was furious and then instantly looked like he had lost his parents. He then looked at the back of the young man who was walking further and further away, calm to an unbelievable degree from beginning to end.
He slowly turned his head to look at Wang Teng and his grandson, President Shi, beside him.
"What is going on?"
It wasn't until Lin Yu's figure was about to disappear at the park gate that Li Mo snapped out of it!
"Boss! President Lin! Don't go! It's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
He let out a shrill wail and once again chased after him regardless of everything. Leaving behind a group of petrified people, and Feng Rui, who was as pale as a ghost, feeling as if his entire world had collapsed.
...
Outside the park. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling. Lin Yu, with Wang Qingxuan, walked unhurriedly along the tree-lined path.
He turned a deaf ear to the heartbreaking shouts behind him. Until they had walked a long distance and could no longer hear the commotion from the park.
Wang Qingxuan seemed to wake up from a big dream. She stopped, looked up at the man beside her who was composed, and asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"Mr... Mr. Lin..." "Are we... really just leaving like this?"
Lin Yu also stopped. He turned his head, looked into the girl's eyes filled with confusion, and nodded as a matter of course.
"What else?"
Indulge them?
Lin Yu was very open-minded now; frankly speaking, the four major pharmaceutical merchants were more anxious than he was. It seemed the situation was even better than he had thought; their desire to seek peace was very urgent.
He had underestimated himself. Lin Yu thought thoughtfully, and it was true; with his Infinite Potions and infinite funds, to say nothing of anything else, just in business, who couldn't he crush?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu was in a great mood. It would be best if the four major pharmaceutical merchants could cooperate peacefully, but if not, it would at most be a little extra trouble for him.
So he felt no pressure. But the four major pharmaceutical merchants were different. They were more anxious than he was.
"Mr. Lin," Wang Qingxuan finally couldn't help but speak, "Is it really okay for us... to just leave like this? I feel like that President Li... he was about to cry."
Lin Yu stopped and looked back at her.
"It was his own subordinate who told me to leave, so I couldn't just loiter there, could I?" He said righteously.
Wang Qingxuan: "..." This sounded fine, but she felt something was wrong.
"But..." Wang Qingxuan organized her words, "The meeting today, wasn't it..."
"No rush." Lin Yu interrupted her. He looked at the distant sky and said slowly: "Someone will be more anxious than us."
...
Inside the park. Hundreds of employees, including those proud children of the "New Star Project," were all frozen in place like puppets under a binding spell.
Everyone's gaze was focused on the same place. The man who had just run back from the park gate, looking devastated.
Qingyun Pharmaceutical CEO, Li Mo. He was back. He came back alone. That young man had really left.
Li Mo's face was as pale as paper, and his expensive custom-made suit was now wrinkled, as if it had been fished out of water.
He gasped for air, his body swaying. He had figured it out: what the boss wanted to do was nothing more than increase the bargaining chips and gain the initiative. He couldn't be anxious; he had to play his supporting role well.
Thinking this, he walked up to Old Shi and knelt down with a thud.
