Lin Yi did not tell Cheng Wei that they were disturbed by Cai Chongxin when they were discussing financing in the United States, otherwise they could still complain about Jack Ma together.
Dudu is not invested by Factory A, so of course it cannot avoid this kind of "care".
This surprise was left to him and Liu Qing to discover on their own. Cheng Wei must have been mentally prepared as well. After all, no one knew the style of his former employer better than him, a veteran of Factory A for many years.
You're welcome.
This encounter ended with Cheng Wei and Liu Qing leaving first. Lin Yi did not ask where they were going to fly, but just sighed after they left:
"Is the airport such a small place? I met a high school classmate when I came here, and I met a competitor when I went back."
Now there is only Liu Jiani around, so naturally he is talking to her. This person seems to be very experienced and shares:
"If you try to live a life of flying one or two hundred times a year, you will find that it is not surprising to see anyone in the airport."
As a coder in Lin Yi's previous life, he had almost no need to travel. Although he has been traveling around for starting a business in this life, he has never had such an intensive schedule.
Only positions in consulting firms and investment banks, where Liu Jianni and Liu Qing started their careers, are real "flying men" and high-frequency customers of airlines.
Liu Jianni then asked: "Can't you see that you and Cheng Wei can get along so well with each other? Liu Qing and I worked so hard to ease the atmosphere just now, just because we were afraid that you two would start fighting on the spot."
This was of course a joke, but Lin Yi also admitted that in terms of social skills, neither he nor Cheng Wei could compare to these two professionals.
"You are mistaken. Cheng Wei and I just have nothing else to talk about. Scolding Kalanick may be the only common topic we can find."
Liu Jianni reluctantly accepted this explanation, and they did not go into depth on this topic because before Lin Yi left, he suddenly remembered that he almost forgot the task assigned by Gu Caiwei.
Before leaving the country, he promised to bring a gift to Gu Caiwei. Fortunately, they still had plenty of time to board the plane and there were many shops in the airport.
Lin Yi really didn't have much experience in buying gifts, so he decisively sought professional help.
Although this was not official business, Liu Jianni did not refuse: "What kind of gift you choose depends on who you plan to give it to."
Lin Yiyan was concise and to the point: "Young girl."
Liu Jiani had some guesses in her mind and continued to ask: "You definitely don't want to give some simple travel souvenirs, so is there any budget limit?"
Lin Yi, like Liu Jianni, only receives a few thousand yuan in living expenses from Wanli Travel every month. In theory, he doesn't have much income.
However, Liu Jianni knew how much money Lin Yi had received from selling on the casual takeout website. If he had not spent it randomly, the cash on hand now should be quite considerable.
Lin Yi replied without much thought: "There is no budget limit, but there is no need to choose too expensive gifts. We have never given anything like that before."
Liu Jianni knew what she wanted, so she took him to a jewelry store and asked the clerk to bring out several brooches for them to choose from. She also explained to Lin Yi:
"Jewelry such as brooches are not expensive, but if used properly, they can have miraculous effects and really reflect the owner's taste, so it also tests your taste when giving gifts."
She was very enthusiastic about sharing this knowledge, but Lin Yi didn't really want to learn it because he didn't use it many times and had no intention of ordering this skill book.
Men are very pragmatic, so he simply asked for advice: "Why don't you help me choose one? I trust your vision."
Since the other party was her boss, Liu Jianni resisted the urge to roll her eyes. After picking through the jewelry box brought by the clerk for a while, she selected one with pearls.
"This one, I think it matches Mo Yan's temperament very well. Even if she always wears formal clothes, it can still be matched."
Um?
Lin Yi discovered that Liu Jianni seemed to have a misunderstanding about the reason why she chose the gift, but she did not explain it immediately.
Because he thought that ever since they started their business for the second time and served as the COO of Wanli Travel, the senior sister has always been the one with the heaviest tasks in the company, and she has worked hard and never complained.
Although Lin Yi has always been aware of her dedication, for some reasons, he couldn't care too much about her outside of work.
Now even Liu Jianni thinks that since she is on a business trip to the United States, she should bring a gift to her senior sister when she returns. It doesn't seem too abrupt to do so, right?
He was stunned for a very short time, but Liu Jianni was still keenly aware of this reaction. She originally wanted to ask more: "Wasn't it chosen by Mo Yan?"
But it stopped again.
Lin Yi did not let her suggestion hang in the air for too long. He carefully looked at the brooch that Liu Jianni had just chosen. From his own perspective, it was considered exquisite and unique.
"Okay, let's buy this one."
Straight men usually don't get too entangled when buying things. As long as their wallet allows it, they can make a purchase, which saves time.
Liu Jianni saw that he did not directly respond to his previous words, but still bought the brooch she selected for Li Moyan, so she said no more.
However, she soon discovered that after Lin Yi bought the brooch, he spent a few minutes in the airport buying something else, which was the "simple travel souvenir" she just mentioned.
Lin Yi explained that this was for their other partner, CTO Wang Kai, and Liu Jianni expressed her understanding. After all, two of their partners were on a business trip, and it seemed unreasonable that only one of the remaining two partners would be brought along.
But Lin Yi's purchase is not over yet.
This time he put a lot of thought into choosing a white beret, and carefully asked the clerk to put it in a beautiful packaging bag.
This thing is not expensive, but that is not the crux of the problem. It is obvious that this is a gift for a girl, and it is not for Li Moyan.
Lin Yi's mental activity just now was that since Liu Jianni mentioned bringing a gift to his senior sister, he took advantage of the situation and bought it.
At the same time, in order to make this move seem to have no other meaning, he also brought a random copy to the tool man Wang Kai.
But the gift to Gu Caiwei was unavoidable, because Liu Jianni had been asked to give him advice before, so he could only make his own decision this time.
Fortunately, he remembered that Gu Caiwei likes to collect all kinds of hats. This hobby has become very well-known among the fan base as she became popular.
So he used his own aesthetic standards to carefully select one and give it to Gu Caiwei. In this way, his best wishes were fulfilled.
Choosing gifts is really troublesome.
Just as Lin Yi was thinking that this kind of thing could be avoided next time, he casually explained: "This is for someone else."
At that moment, he turned to look at Liu Jianni. Although he could not read minds, he felt that if he understood correctly, two words were clearly written in the other person's eyes:
