After finishing her call, Lin Ziyan sat down and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her forehead.

She forgot something important.

Yumei Group has a research and development center, and the performance of a certain motor component it produces has surpassed that of motor factories in Country A.

"Grandma, don't leave the hotel, I need to go to Yumei." Lin Ziyan didn't hesitate for long before grabbing her purse and preparing to leave.

The nanny was playing with the child, while the grandmother sat on the sofa drinking tea.

"Go quickly and come back quickly. Yun Shen just called. He's about to come to the hotel. Just have him take us down for lunch in a bit." Atai poured hot tea into Lin Ziyan's thermos and handed it to her.

Lin Ziyan took a sip of hot tea and almost burned her tongue.

She looked at her grandmother and drank it down without blinking.

"Okay, no need to wait for me." Lin Ziyan left in a hurry.

Grandma and the nanny exchanged a smile and shook their heads.

…

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Lin Ziyan made another phone call to Yun Ying.

She felt a burning gaze on her back, turned around abruptly, but found nothing.

Hiding behind a large pillar in the hotel, a man pulled his hat down low and headed towards the guest room elevator.

The floor he pressed was the same floor Lin Ziyan had just come down from.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the elevator, her eyes flashing.

Arriving at Yumei's headquarters, she looked up at the towering skyscrapers at the entrance and sighed inwardly, "Teng City is still developing much better."

There are only a few skyscrapers like this in Fukushima.

There are many buildings near the headquarters of Yumei, not including those in other areas.

As expected of a financial center, it's truly luxurious...

As soon as Lin Ziyan entered the lobby, she saw Yi Ting waiting at the front desk.

The two nodded, said nothing more, and walked together toward the private elevator on the upper floors.

Yumei is a listed company that mainly focuses on exports and is involved in many industries.

Makeup is only one part of it.

Steel cables, carbon fiber, motor parts, and so on all have corresponding branch companies for management.

Yumei also invested in Fuji City's largest shipping company.

Yi Ting escorted her to the door, knocked a few times, and then went to her workstation to continue working.

Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow and pushed open the door to enter.

Yunying stood up. "Ayan, come sit here."

She wore a white business suit, with exquisite makeup, and slightly wavy long hair, looking clean and neat, yet exuding feminine elegance.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and Lin Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly.

It's a perfume balm from Lin Yan Pavilion; the fragrance is very subtle.

Lin Ziyan said, "Sister Ying, you look radiant. It seems you've fully recovered with Mayor Yi."

After the two became closer, teasing each other became a regular occurrence.

Yun Ying neither denied nor admitted it, but smiled meaningfully and briefly explained that the other party had used drugs.

Lin Ziyan's expression hardened slightly. Using medicine? That's impossible to guard against.

Looking back now, Yunying still feels terrified. If those indecent photos had been taken and made public, her husband's position would definitely have been in jeopardy.

She used to think that the Yi family's method of choosing an heir was too harsh, but now she realizes that it was fortunate that it was harsh enough.

"By the way, aren't you taking the boat back tomorrow? Isn't that too rushed? Why not stay a few more days?" Yunying looked at her suspiciously.

She's been busy with the group's IPO lately and hasn't had time to meet with them.

Lu Yunshen met with Mayor Yi; it's unknown whether they discussed the other's medication.

"Grandma wants to go back today," Lin Ziyan said with a laugh.

“When you were in H country before, I mentioned the cooperation of jointly building a research and development center…” Lin Ziyan briefly explained her thoughts.

Hairun's R&D department is already very busy and is constantly investing in research and development. However, insufficient funds are affecting its future market expansion.

She has no plans to go public and understands the principle of not putting all her eggs in one basket.

Now S Group has its sights set on Hairun Electric Appliances and even dares to send a lawyer's letter to provoke them.

When Lin Ziyan received the lawyer's letter, she already had the idea of ​​collaborative research and development.

Yun Ying's eyes lit up instantly. "We've always heard how amazing Hairun's R&D department is since we were in Teng City, but we could only watch enviously."

"Hairun currently has no plans to transfer its technology. Of course, it would be best if we could develop it together."

You need to have an idea before you can put it into action.

Yun Ying sometimes suspected that many of Hairun's technological breakthrough ideas were proposed by Lin Ziyan.

Some of these ideas were things that Yumei's R&D department had never even considered.

Ideas guide actions. Yumei has no shortage of technical talent, but it lacks talent with ideas.

"Well, we have some initial ideas for certain motor components, but we haven't overcome the related difficulties yet..." Lin Ziyan revealed a little bit.

This motor component also helped Yumei achieve a technological breakthrough in one of its products.

For a collaboration to be successful, both parties must benefit, and the collaboration method must be acceptable to the other party.

Hairun provides the ideas and initial research data, while Yumei is responsible for in-depth research and development. Any difficulties will be overcome together...

Lin Ziyan also revealed the details of the cooperation.

After successful research and development, Hairun only earns a small portion of the commission, while Yumei earns the lion's share.

From another perspective, Hairun didn't lose out.

"Why do I feel like you're giving YuMei technology?" Yun Ying chuckled after hearing this.

She personally led the R&D department of Yumei, and she knows all the ins and outs of it.

The information provided by Hairun is certainly more complex than Lin Ziyan described.

"There will be other collaborations in the future. As long as Hairun makes a profit, that's fine, President Yun." Lin Ziyan's lips curled up slightly. She hadn't expected Yun Ying to be so perceptive.

She's not doing this as a one-off deal. Hairun needs a company to stand in its way so it can truly bide its time and build up its strength.

Showing off one's strength before developing to a scale sufficient to withstand an opponent's attack will only lead to self-destruction.

Yun Ying fell into deep thought. She knew the purpose of Hairun's concession and was also moved by what Hairun said about developing products.

When it's time to make a clean break, Yumei has benefited greatly from this cooperation, so it's only right that it takes on more risks.

The two discussed the details of the collaboration in depth, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

Lin Ziyan finished all the tea in her thermos, and Yun Ying also drank a pot of tea herself.

Yi Ting, who was waiting outside the door, found it unbelievable; she had never seen her mother talk to anyone for so long.

After everyone in the secretary's office had left for the day, Yi Ting called the two of them to order food.

…

A few hours ago, at the hotel.

A man claiming to be a hotel employee knocked on the door, but Ah Tai stopped him and told the nanny to open it.

She called the hotel front desk directly to inquire about room service and other details.

The nanny's eyelids twitched as she looked at the dark figure outside the door and shielded the children.

The other party was still knocking on the door, and even said Lu Yunshen's name.

Lin Atai remained unmoved and even put on a bulletproof lock.

There were only elderly people and children in the room, but she could tell from the sound that there was an adult man outside.

"Take the child into the inner room, I'll make a phone call." The old lady looked at the nanny, her expression normal.

After they went into the inner room, Grandma went to the door and listened to the noise.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"
