Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 608 - 564: Meeting Gift

Lin Yi wasn't foolish; he naturally knew why the old man suddenly said such things.

Moreover, if it weren't for Mu Yunrou's presence, perhaps under the immense pressure of the old man's powerful influence, he might have already confessed.

This wasn't an exaggeration, after all, the old man's aura was incredibly strong.

On TV or in person, the old man might look harmless and kind, but don't forget, a person in power is a person in power.

If he really wants to exert such pressure on you, no one can withstand it.

This is aura, something inexplicable.

Yet, although the old man sincerely said he didn't know about it, Lin Yi hadn't decided whether to tell him.

After all, the matter was too confidential.

He needed to consider carefully how to handle it.

"Wow, you gave me a scare, sir. I thought I had done something wrong.

You know that warehouse; I like to tinker with and research things.

So, I added a lab there where I won't be disturbed.

Though the recent procurement was a bit much, it's because I am casting a wide net in various fields.

Who knows, maybe something significant will be discovered, which would benefit our development, right?

But unfortunately, my mind has been a bit chaotic lately, and there hasn't been any substantive progress.

Oh, by the way, I've made a little breakthrough on the oxygen machine, and maybe in a month or two, I can develop a more advanced one."

Lin Yi thought for a moment and understood that he had indeed procured a lot lately.

Also, many of these were the most advanced things on the market now.

Each time those devices were sold, they had to go through strict registration and review.

Evidently, the oxygen machine was among them.

The person who previously procured these had indeed mentioned this to him, but he hadn't paid much attention.

He simply assumed that if they could get it, there was no problem.

And according to his thinking, this should count as one of the more high-tech items.

Throwing this thing out there shifted the focus.

Presumably, with this as a cushion, the old man wouldn't think too much further.

However, an old saying goes, "Ginger gets spicier as it gets older," although Lin Yi hid his little schemes well,

his careful calculations were quite clever.

Yet, the occasional glint in his eyes made the old man realize that the boy hadn't told the truth, at least not the whole truth.

But the old man didn't care about this.

The reason he met with the boy today wasn't because of what he's been up to recently, but because he'd long wanted to meet him.

The reason for tossing out such a question just now was merely to temper the boy's sharpness.

It's similar to two armies clashing; first, confuse the opponent with an illusion to gain an upper hand, so that later conversations become more relaxed, isn't it?

"Oh, I was wondering what you were doing with those things.

But let me remind you of something: next time you procure something illegal, don't let your subordinates handle it. Just contact Xiao Rou directly.

She will provide all the necessary items for procurement as long as you explain the real use. I'll back you up."

The old man spoke quite generously.

Even though the current procurement department of the nuclear corporation is formidable, with strong capability, they can procure almost anything Lin Yi requests in the shortest time.

However, there's a prerequisite that they can't procure special items.

Items like those not allowed for private ownership.

But with the old man's assurance, Lin Yi would now be able to openly procure some necessary special items.

The old man gave quite a generous gift of direction, and it was a substantial one.

This promise would be immensely beneficial for Lin Yi's future plans.

Take, for example, if he wanted his spaceship to reach the moon, a weapons system would be necessary.

But with his current power, he definitely can't get these things.

With the old man's blessing, he could safely proceed with procurement.

Of course, even when purchasing those items, he wouldn't say they're for the spaceship.

The ideal procurement method would be to establish a nuclear military industry.

Thus, everything becomes rational.

He could occasionally present advanced weaponry to them, making it even more perfect.

Moreover, even though the old man's words brought some peace to Lin Yi's heart,

it also clarified the old man's attitude towards him.

It laid a firm foundation for whether he should collaborate with them in the future.

However, Mu Yunrou, standing at the side, was obviously stunned upon hearing this. She looked at her grandfather and asked in confusion:

"Grandpa, what do you mean? Let Xiao Yi contact me? But I'm not in charge of that, and I have my job, I don't have the contacts for that. I'm not familiar with procurement."

Indeed, as Mu Yunrou said, she has her own job that isn't within the system.

The most crucial thing is, procurement is far from what Mu Yunrou does.

For someone who has never been in procurement, asking her to help procure would leave her clueless.

After all, different trades are worlds apart; this is not a joke.

Even Lin Yi, beside them, was puzzled when he heard this.

However, he quickly understood; what does it matter if Mu Yunrou doesn't know about procurement?

It's not like Mu Yunrou is supposed to handle the procurement personally.

Evidently, the old man already has plans for the subsequent matters.

Mu Yunrou was just a nominal figure, and the most crucial point of having her involved was to reassure Lin Yi.

Having Mu Yunrou's connection was enough to show the old man's stance toward Lin Yi.
