Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Is This Really a Coincidence?

The most coincidental thing was that just when the principal was discussing how to maximize the benefits of the nuclear group, Lao Cheng’s phone suddenly vibrated.

Due to years of habit, whenever a principal’s phone vibrates during a meeting, they would take a glance.

If it’s a non-essential call, they hang up.

But after glancing at the phone screen, Lao Cheng found that it was Lin Yi calling.

This guy never calls without a reason; if he’s calling, there must be something he needs to discuss.

Moreover, even this meeting was being held around his nuclear group.

This gave Lao Cheng even more reason to take the call.

His gaze turned to the boss, then he raised his hand to signal.

The boss, who was speaking, noticed Lao Cheng’s raised hand and paused.

If it were a normal situation, he might have just gestured for him to go out and take the call.

But because of the relationship between the nuclear group and Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng’s status had risen significantly.

“What’s up, Lao Cheng?”

Lao Cheng was deeply moved to see the boss stop talking.

“Principal, it’s a call from Lin Yi.”

But this wasn’t the time for sentiments, he picked up the phone and gestured to the boss before speaking directly.

The principal couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that it was Lin Yi calling:

“Haha, we were just talking about that guy, speaking of the devil! Just pick up the call here, and we’ll continue the meeting after you’re done.”

Lao Cheng, who was about to get up, was caught off guard by this. Pause the meeting to take Lin Yi’s call? Looks like this guy really holds weight with the principal!

Since the boss had spoken, Lao Cheng naturally couldn’t step out. So, under the gaze of all the school leaders, he picked up the call right there.

Watching Lao Cheng take the call, all the school leaders present looked on with envy and jealousy.

Let’s not even mention Lao Cheng’s connection with the nuclear group, something hard to be jealous about.

The most annoying thing was that Lao Cheng was using a prestigious smartphone!

This phone was practically a status symbol now!

Not just outside, even among us scholars, it was much sought after.

After all, using this phone to conduct some experimental computer demonstrations had numerous benefits.

Some creative vice principals were already planning to ask Lao Cheng to help them buy a few of those smartphones.

Considering such a small favor, surely Lao Cheng would oblige.

Leaving aside everyone else’s thoughts, let’s focus on Lin Yi for a moment.

Upon hearing that Lao Cheng was in a meeting, he directly got to the point:

“So here’s the thing, the nuclear group has negotiated a deal worth nearly a billion with the Patek Group. Now, their legal department has sent me a contract.

Hey, you know that this isn’t my area of expertise, I can’t understand it at all, so I thought, with your wide network, you could recommend a legal expert to help me review the contract.

Mostly because I’m waiting to sign it.”

Hearing this, Lao Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle:

“Hey, is there anything you don’t understand? Haha, alright, wait a bit, let me ask around, and I’ll get back to you soon.”

After finishing, he hung up the phone, then shook his head with a smile. It was rare to see Lin Yi having something he couldn’t handle.

Just as he found this amusing, he heard the boss sitting at the head speak:

“What’s the matter, Lao Cheng? Does that kid have an unsolvable problem?”

This startled Lao Cheng; he was so amused by Lin Yi’s problem that he forgot he was in a meeting.

He quickly raised his head, only to find the boss and a dozen vice principals all staring at him.

He couldn’t help but cough awkwardly:

“Ahem, it’s rare to see that kid not understanding something, so I just found it amusing.

It’s like this, the nuclear group and the Patek Group have made a billion-dollar deal, and now they’ve given him a contract which he doesn’t understand. He’s thinking I should find a legal expert to look at the contract for him…”

After Lao Cheng finished speaking, everyone present immediately turned their gaze to an elderly man with graying hair at the front of the meeting table.

This elderly man was none other than Dean Yan of the Law School.

Saying this person is remarkable would be an understatement; he is not only a vice president of Tsinghua and the dean of the law school but also serves as a visiting professor at many prestigious universities.

Although in literature there is no absolute ranking, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Dean Yan stands as one of the top figures in the field of law in Huaxia.

Seeing everyone looking at Dean Yan, the principal also couldn’t help but chuckle:

“This kid sure has a knack for timing, I wonder if he’s developed X-ray vision?”

This comment from the principal instantly made everyone laugh and nod in agreement.

After all, Dean Yan had just returned with the principal from abroad, and Lin Yi happened to encounter a legal issue right after.

Can one really call that a coincidence?

“Haha, I’m quite curious about what kind of kid Lin Yi is, able to…”
