People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

The appearance of Harry Truman and Tony's discussion about business cooperation completely dampened Lin Yi's interest.

They're even too lazy to be perfunctory anymore.

After making some empty promises, Tony left in high spirits when the ball ended.

Ah Sheng, who had already returned, reported to him only then: "Young Master, that foreigner accepted your business card and said 'thank you' several times. Is that what he meant by thanking me?"

"Ah Sheng, you've made progress."

Lin Yi smiled and praised Ah Sheng.

Sheng Aiyi, standing beside her, frowned, thinking the two were talking about Lyndon Sowers.

In the end, this guy still succeeded!

The two got into the car one after the other.

Once the car started moving, Sheng Aiyi sighed, clenched her fist, and said, "So, what are your demands?"

Lin Yi was taken aback at first, then laughed: "You decided to admit defeat so readily, that's not like Miss Seven's style."

"Humph."

The flying blade posed no threat.

Lin Yihun didn't pay any attention.

He rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then quickly came up with an idea: "It's rare to get Miss Seven to grant me a request unconditionally. I need to think about this carefully. There's no rush."

The knife hanging overhead is what truly makes people anxious.

This is a rare opportunity.

It's unlikely that Sheng Aiyi will fall into his trap so easily in the future.

So there's no reason to let this proud woman break free so easily.

In addition, Lin Yi really couldn't think of any fun ideas.

Imitating a dog's bark was a joke.

He would never do something so degrading.

As for having Meng Qianyu accompany him to dinner... he was certain that even if Sheng Aiyi gritted her teeth and agreed, a rift would likely form between them.

Some things are okay to joke about, but you shouldn't actually do them.

It's actually more interesting that things are still unresolved.

Sure enough, when she heard him say that he needed to think about it, Sheng Aiyi's pretty face immediately turned a little ugly.

She turned her head away and ignored Lin Yi.

But the fist that was originally clenched has slowly loosened.

The car arrived at the Plaza Hotel.

Sheng Aiyi got out of the car and walked straight inside.

Lin Yi was about to follow, but before the car had even come to a complete stop, Lyndon Soth jumped up in a hurry.

"Mr. Lin, I'm here to apologize."

Linden's chubby face showed a mixture of embarrassment and ingratiation.

They were all old foxes; after calming down a bit, he understood the meaning behind Lin Yi's words.

Because it offended the other party, Sotheby's market outside the United States was threatened.

If we don't offend them, then there won't be any threat.

Everything was for the sake of Sothink's stock price, so he came.

"Where is the phoenix crown?"

"what?"

Lyndon paused for a moment before quickly turning around and taking a beautiful box out of the car.

"I'll offer two million. Would Mr. Suo Siwei be willing to transfer it to me?"

"No, no, Mr. Lin, this is a gift for you. Please forgive my previous mistake."

Lyndon shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

Although spending two million was painful, it seemed insignificant compared to the stock price of Sothink.

"Congratulations, you have received my forgiveness."

"I guarantee that Yongli's industrial alkali will not appear anywhere else within a year."

Lin Yi had already spotted Harry Chumen standing on the steps, and at this point, he had no interest in arguing with a nobody like Lyndon.

The most important thing is to act quickly, have a heart-to-heart talk with the future US president, and soothe his anxious emotions.

The forgiveness was so swift that Lyndon was a little stunned.

But he reacted quickly.

Although a year has passed and it fell short of his expectations, things should always be done step by step.

This is a very good start.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your kindness."

After thanking him, Linden carefully handed the box to Ah Sheng.

At this moment, I can't help but feel a little sorry for him.

He was even more furious with his own stupidity.

However, he concealed his emotions well and said humbly, "Mr. Lin, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"I'm just trying to cause some trouble for the Japanese. Of course, as a friend, I don't want this to cause you any trouble."

To kill two birds with one stone.

Lin Yi would never miss an opportunity to cause trouble for the Japanese devils.

"Thank you, I'll take care of it."

Lyndon readily agreed, and his smile instantly brightened.

Look, the magnanimous Mr. Lin has already regarded him as a friend!

As a businessman who is sometimes shrewd and sometimes foolish, he still has a good eye for business.

Seeing that Lin Yi must have something to do, they didn't bother him too much.

After Lin Yi nodded in agreement that he would visit again later, Lin Deng happily returned to his car.

Watching his car drive away, Lin Yi casually waved and stepped onto the stairs.

"Harry, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The two shook hands, and the future president was very polite: "Lin, I've just arrived here too."

“You know, Harry, I studied law in college, and I felt an instant connection with you when I saw you.”

They can readily use conversational terminology.

This immediately put Harry Truman, who had been feeling uneasy, at ease.

"Lin, it's my honor."

"Come on, have a drink with me."

Lin Yi dragged Harry Truman straight into the room, poured him a drink, handed it to him, and asked directly, "Harry, tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Thank you, Lin. You are the most straightforward person I have ever met."

Harry said with some emotion, recalling how he had hesitated about how to broach the subject without losing face.

"I am a businessman, not a politician with hypocrisy."

Lin Yi chuckled and, in the process, clarified his own position to the future president.

As a businessman, I believe all my efforts should be rewarded.

Harry Truman will definitely understand this sentence.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Harry Truman's last trace of hesitation vanished.

It's all about interests.

The Penger family's initial support for his candidacy for Chief Justice of Jackson County was also for their own benefit.

Although he hasn't been asked to do anything in the past few years.

But Harry knew in his heart that it was only because his status was too ordinary and he couldn't play any role at all.

As for his intention to run for senator, he was rejected by the Pengust family.

It's simply because they have a higher opinion of the other senator candidates.

A person whose value is not yet apparent is not worth investing time and money in.

Unless someone strongly supports him.

For example, Tony, a strong contender to succeed the Pengust family.

Reflecting on this, Harry Truman said, "Lin, I can tell that Tony respects you a lot."

Lin Yi chuckled: "Harry, you know that's because I can bring him benefits."

In short, let's make a lasting impression on the future president.

"Maybe so."

Harry nodded. "But I think if you, Lin, could recommend me to Tony, he would definitely consider it seriously."

"If Tony helps me then, I'll still have a chance."

"Running for senator?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me why Tony's family doesn't support you?"

"Because they felt that the other candidates had a better chance of winning the election than I did."

"several?"

"Three."

Lin Yi nodded, raised his glass and took a sip of wine before smiling and saying, "Harry, if you're only going through Tony, I don't think your chances of success are very high."

"After all, this is a decision made by his family. Even if he recommends you, the competition will still exist."

“I understand, but this is my only chance.”

Harry shrugged.

He was able to enter the Penguin family circle through Tony.

Tony was also the person he knew best.

In Harry's view, no one could help him except Tony.

Lin Yi liked his somewhat helpless expression.

He swirled the wine in his glass and chuckled, "I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?"
