Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 722 - 678: Sorry, I Forgot...

"What are you saying? Just a few kilograms of moon soil, you're really trampling on our relationship."

"Just bring a car over, I'll provide however much you need."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Lao Cheng's face lit up like a blooming chrysanthemum.

This kid isn't too shabby, he's loyal and righteous. It was indeed wise to bring him to Tsinghua a while back to offer him help.

Although the relationship now is mutually beneficial, with everyone at Tsinghua immediately getting great job opportunities, and Lin Yi receiving a steady influx of talent.

But don't forget, when it comes to real interests, people aren't usually this generous.

Like this time, Lao Cheng asked Lin Yi for a few kilograms of moon soil, fully expecting a rejection from the get-go.

You have to know, Lin Yi's moon soil is something everyone has their eyes on nowadays.

Who wouldn't want a piece of it?

This is precisely why, when he asked Lin Yi for this favor, he was already prepared to be turned down.

But unexpectedly, Lin Yi agreed to his request and even told him to take as much as he needed, providing it continuously.

What kind of trust is this? What kind of bond is this?

To say Lao Cheng wasn't moved would be a lie.

"Alright, alright. It's enough that you said that. I'll arrange for someone to come and get it. But don't worry, we'll only take what we need."

Lin Yi chuckled and waved his hand, saying to Lao Cheng on the phone:

"It's just some ore, no need to be so excited. Our relationship doesn't warrant being formal."

"However, I have to let you know upfront, this moon soil I'm providing, no matter the amount, is only for your use. But there's a condition: you absolutely cannot transfer or sell it to any third party."

"Even the scraps you might use, you can't provide to anyone else."

Lin Yi wasn't exaggerating; the complex web of relationships in society means you never know who might leverage connections to get to Lao Cheng or some leader at Tsinghua.

When that happens, the moon soil gifted to Tsinghua might end up elsewhere, and that would be quite a loss.

While to Lin Yi, this moon soil is like the soil beneath his feet, for others, it's different.

"Rest assured, I'll use my integrity to guarantee that every gram of moon soil we get from you will be used for our research and will not be provided to any third party."

Just as Lao Cheng said, Lin Yi providing these resources is already an enormous favor.

Why would they transfer it to a third party?

Lao Cheng alone guarantees to Lin Yi that even if his own son asks, he wouldn't give away even a gram of moon soil.

This is a matter of principle.

The moon soil issue continued for nearly half a month before it slowly settled.

Thanks in large part to Elder Master Mu stepping in, things calmed down quickly.

After being busy for so long, Lin Yi finally found some time to rest.

Ring, ring...

That morning, just as Lin Yi climbed out of bed, his phone rang.

Taking a look, he saw it was Li Wentao.

Seeing the name, Lin Yi felt a headache coming on.

It's obvious that if this guy calls, it won't be for something good, and Lin Yi's wish to rest today likely won't be fulfilled.

Not just him, but Li Huiqun as well—these two wouldn't call unless there's something that needs handling.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, Li Wentao's voice, sounding exasperated, came through:

"Boss, what time is it? Why aren't you here yet?"

The sudden question left Lin Yi confused, as he replied somewhat puzzled:

"What's going on? Why should I come over? Where am I going?"

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Li Wentao was equally baffled, lines of frustration crossing his forehead:

"Uh...

Don't be like that, boss. It's a bit too carefree to act like a hands-off shopkeeper…

The day before yesterday, I told you and sent you an invitation, didn't I?

There's a business meeting in the Capital City that we hope you can attend, and you said you have some free time, right?

It's starting at nine this morning, just one hour left. If you don't hurry over, we'll be late."

Realizing this, Lin Yi slapped his forehead, recalling the matter.

So much had been going on that he had completely forgotten.

"Ah, I forgot about that. Where are you? Come pick me up, and we'll head out now."

Lin Yi's decision to attend wasn't about the meeting's importance.

It was because, a few days prior, after dealing with matters with Li Wentao, he saw him busy beyond measure and casually said that if Wentao needed help, he could ask, as Lin Yi had some free time.

Who knew Wentao would immediately shove an invitation at him?

And tell him about the meeting.

Although Lin Yi was merely being polite at the time, with the invitation already given, he couldn't refuse.

Having said he was available to help, backing out now would be awkward.

Upon hearing Lin Yi had forgotten, Li Wentao slapped his forehead, amazed at his leader.

But what could he do? He was working hard for him...

Ah, it's tough being a worker.

After hanging up, Li Wentao drove over to Lin Yi's place quickly.

As Lin Yi stepped out, he was munching on a breakfast pastry, stuffing it into his mouth while opening the car door.

Watching the scene, Li Wentao felt like commenting that Lin Yi didn't exactly look like a billionaire giant...
