I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2573 - 2574: Taking Action Against Lin Yi

Zhao Rongyi was pressed so hard he couldn’t even speak.

At this moment, he didn’t dare to speak either.

The murderous aura around Lin Yi was palpable. Even though this place was about to become his own turf, now was not the time to go head-to-head with him.

With a flick of his hand, Lin Yi threw Zhao Rongyi aside, then waved casually.

"Let’s go, find a place to grab a meal."

Qin Han glanced at Zhao Rongyi, a smirk playing on his lips.

Watching their departing figures, Li Qidong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Zhong Hai has already shifted power, but Director Lin is still so domineering. Sooner or later, he’s bound to cause trouble!

"Old Zhao!"

Zhao Rongyi’s wife ran over and helped him up.

"That man is way too arrogant, completely lawless. We absolutely can’t let him off easily!"

Zhao Rongyi’s eyes were as cold as ice. "Let’s head back first!"

...

After leaving the mall, Lin Yi and the others found a spot to eat.

The topic at the table revolved entirely around Zhao Rongyi.

"So, what do you know about this Yisheng Group?"

"I’ve heard my dad mention it a few times," Qin Han said:

"Yisheng Group is an old real estate company based in Tianjin. Within the same industry, President Ji should be familiar with this company."

Ji Qingyan nodded. "They’re very strong. Among real estate companies nationwide, they rank in the top five."

After speaking, Ji Qingyan’s eyes flickered, as if she had just recalled something.

"I remember last year, there was a bid for the expansion of a train station in Zhong Hai. They wanted to participate, but the Zhong Hai side didn’t give them a chance, directly disqualifying them by claiming they lacked the necessary credentials."

"So, in that case, they’ve had their sights set on Zhong Hai for a while now," Lin Yi said flatly.

"That’s inevitable," Liang Jinming added:

"This is a big piece of meat. Everyone wants a bite. But I’ve heard that their group isn’t just involved in real estate."

"They’re also into internet finance," Qin Han said:

"Compared to the coastal areas, the northern region’s tech industry is weaker. My guess is someone’s backing them, which is why they’ve branched into this field. Word is, they’re doing pretty well."

"Compared to traditional real estate, the internet is much more profitable," Gao Zongyuan remarked.

"These capitalists nowadays, they’re all outplaying each other," Liang Jinming said, resting his hands behind his head:

"First it was ’Internet Plus,’ then blockchain, and now they’re hyping up the metaverse. All sorts of tricks to harvest the market."

"In this day and age, as long as you have money, ethics and morality take a back seat," Lin Yi said:

"But judging by their stance, it seems they’re considering shifting their focus to the south."

"I guess they’re looking to move their internet and high-tech industries here," He Yuanyuan said:

"Besides Yanjing, the north doesn’t really have fertile ground for those industries."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement and said:

"Looks like they’re not here just to submit a simple bid. They’re ready to go all in for a fight with me."

He Yuanyuan glanced at Lin Yi, her sharp instincts sensing the crisis looming over Lingyun Group.

"The question is, can we really take them on? Times have changed, and our previous advantages have completely vanished!"

"That’s what worries me too," Gao Zongyuan said:

"At the second round of bidding in a few days, even if we lower our prices and focus on cost-effectiveness, they’ll still find a way to nullify our bid."

"Don’t be so pessimistic; it hasn’t come to that yet," Lin Yi said as he took a sip of tea. Then he looked at He Yuanyuan and added:

"When you come to work tomorrow, notify all the top officials in the group that there will be a meeting at 10 a.m."

"A company-wide meeting?"

"Yes."

"Should we notify Boss Shen?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment. "No need. I’ll drop by and see him personally."

"Alright."

With business matters settled, they started eating. Gradually, everyone returned home one after another.

...

Ritz Carlton, Zhong Hai.

Since arriving in Zhong Hai, Zhao Rongyi had been staying here and hadn’t bought a house.

His wife and child were just visiting temporarily and weren’t settling here permanently with him.

At the moment, his hotel room also had another man around his age sitting there, bearing a noticeable resemblance to him.

The man’s name was Zhao Rongsheng, two years older than Zhao Rongyi.

The name Yisheng Group was derived from the brothers’ names.

Back in college, Zhao Rongyi and Qi Daodong had been classmates, although not in the same year.

When the former enrolled, the latter was already in graduate school.

But since they were hometown acquaintances, they quickly became close.

By the time Zhao Rongyi graduated, Yisheng Group was born.

During that era of rapid economic growth, when opportunities were as abundant as gold, real estate became the best springboard for entrepreneurship—a surefire way to make money.

It was during this time that Zhao Rongyi slowly built a name for himself and firmly established his position.

Zhao Rongsheng, on the other hand, had dropped out of school early due to poor academics and tough family circumstances, eventually becoming a local gangster who made a name for himself.

Coincidentally, the real estate business required someone like Zhao Rongsheng for support.

The two brothers complemented each other perfectly, propelling Yisheng Group to national fame within less than a decade.

At the same time, Zhao Rongyi became a well-known figure in his hometown, a man nobody dared to disrespect.

If it hadn’t been for the Liu Brothers’ return to Tianjin, nobody would’ve been able to challenge Zhao Rongsheng’s position.

"What happened? I heard from Xiu Li that you had a run-in with Lin Yi from Zhong Hai?"

"Big brother, even you know about this guy?"

"Since we’re expanding here, I naturally needed to familiarize myself with the local players," Zhao Rongsheng said:

"This Lin Yi definitely has considerable power. He’s not someone you mess with lightly. I’m not by your side, so your actions today were indeed impulsive."

Zhao Rongyi remained silent, feeling like he had suffered a hidden loss today.

"But don’t worry, with me here, I’ll make sure you get your payback."

"No need!"

Zhao Rongyi said, "I’ve got my own plans to deal with him. You should take it easy; there’s no need to make a scene."

"What’s your plan?"

"In three days, it’ll be the second round of bidding. By then, he won’t have the chance to act so cocky."

"That’s too tame."

Zhao Rongsheng lit a cigarette. The white smoke curled around his face as he said lightly:

"We need to make sure everyone knows that the once-invincible Master Lin is no longer untouchable."

"But over the years, his influence in Zhong Hai has grown deep roots. It won’t be easy to take him down a notch."

If he could, Zhao Rongyi also wanted to reclaim his pride and see Lin Yi utterly humiliated.

But having just arrived in the area, attempting to uproot Lin Yi entirely was unrealistic.

"Petty acts of thuggery won’t cut it. We’ll have to find a proper opportunity to knock him down so hard that he’ll never dare to look you in the eye again."

"What’s your plan, then?"

"We’ll seek out the Liu Brothers!"
