Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The conversation in the study continues!

Seeing that Huang Lixing and his brother-in-law were looking at him, Li Yi knew what they were surprised about.

At that moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled faintly, explaining: "It is important to track down the mastermind behind the rumors, but our top priority is to eliminate the negative impact caused by the rumors as soon as possible, restore the company's image, and stabilize people's hearts."

Huang Lixing said in a deep voice: "What about the mastermind behind this? Aren't you going to investigate?"

Brother-in-law Yang Wenguang said worriedly: "Those bastards are like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark. If we don't pull them out, they might pop out and bite us again at any time!"

Li Yi said calmly: "I didn't say I won't investigate, but I said there's no need to put all your time and energy into this now. What's more, even if you don't specifically investigate, you can guess who is behind it!"

Huang Lixing was stunned for a moment, then asked hurriedly: "Brother Li Yi, do you know who did this?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Well, if it goes as expected, this matter has something to do with those politicians in London!"

"Those politicians in London?" Huang Lixing said thoughtfully.

Li Yi added: "Of course, nothing is absolute. There may be some unfriendly neighbors here, such as the little people, the little sticks, and the wild monkeys."

"In short, those idiots who planned this are not only targeting our company and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but also the Chinese government!"

Yang Wenguang frowned and said, "Why are they doing this? What good does it do them to create such panic?"

"The benefits are huge. Last year's negotiations between London and Beijing did not achieve the expected results. The Iron Lady came here excitedly with the momentum of a great victory, but ended up suffering a heavy setback in Beijing. The issue of Hong Kong Island is still unresolved. They are unwilling to give up this treasure trove."

Then Li Yi continued: "Creating such rumors can not only weaken our power and discredit the Chinese government, but also create a tense atmosphere and provoke conflicts between the Hong Kong business community and ordinary citizens and us and the Chinese government. In this way, they have a reason to make trouble in the name of the people."

"Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong. On the surface, he is targeting us, but in fact he is going after the capital?" Yang Wenguang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, as long as we analyze the other party's purpose and potential beneficiaries, it will be clear who is causing trouble!" Li Yi said lightly.

"Then is there a possibility that someone is putting the blame on London and deliberately provoking a fight between us?" Huang Lixing frowned.

"It's possible, but the probability is not high!"

Li Yi then continued: "On the one hand, the purpose of this incident is too strong. Even if other forces want to frame London, they will not do it so obviously."

"On the other hand, London is currently holding a general election, and the lady's re-election is almost certain. In order to avenge their previous humiliation, they are most likely to stir up trouble."

After listening to Li Yi's explanation, Huang Lixing and Yang Wenguang both nodded.

After digesting Li Yi's words for a while, Huang Lixing asked again: "Brother Li Yi, there is chaos outside now, and the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. What should we do?"

"I have already thought about this matter, I plan to..."

Li Yi had just said half a sentence when there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.

"Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open, and then Zhang Ziqiang walked in quickly.

"Brother Yi, President Li and Manager Xiao Li are here!"

Hearing that Li Futiao and Li Yunbao were coming, Li Yi immediately said, "Oh, Lao Li and Yunbao are here. Where are they?"

"The car has just entered the gate of the manor and should be able to enter the living room soon!" said Zhang Ziqiang.

Li Yi immediately said to Huang Lixing and Yang Wenguang: "Old Huang, brother-in-law, you two sit here for a while. I will go to greet Old Li. We will talk later!" Huang Lixing smiled and said: "There is nothing much for us to talk about. Instead of staring at each other, why not go with you to greet Mr. Li!"

"That's okay too!"

Then the three of them immediately stood up and quickly went downstairs!
As soon as I went down the stairs, I saw the Li father and son striding in surrounded by several bodyguards.

Seeing this, Li Yi and others immediately went up to greet him with a smile.

"Lao Li, Yunbao, you guys are really well-informed. You guys came right after I entered the house!"

Before Li Futiao could speak, Li Yunbao smiled and said, "Knowing that you were coming back, my dad sent people to the dock early. As soon as you came out of the dock, my dad left home after receiving the news!"

Li Futiao said helplessly: "It's because Brother Li Yi didn't let me pick someone up at the dock, otherwise there wouldn't be any need for such trouble!"

Hearing the faint complaint in Li Futiao's words, Li Yi immediately explained: "I don't let you go to pick me up, mainly because if you, Lao Li, go there, Lao He, Lao Bao, Lao Huo, Lao Zheng and Li Chaoren will also go there. They have bodyguards and a motorcade, plus they will inevitably alert the media, which will affect the traffic at the dock."

"Besides, with so many people picking me up over there, we have to exchange pleasantries. Afterwards, I have to host a banquet to thank everyone. Now is a time of great trouble, so I'd better save some trouble. I hope you can forgive me, Old Li!"

Li Futiao smiled and said, "We know your concerns, so we didn't insist on picking you up!"

"Haha, thank you for your understanding. Please go upstairs."

Before he finished speaking, Li Futiao immediately said, "Wait a minute. I received a call from Mr. He and Mr. Bao before I came here. They are also on their way. It's almost time."

As he was speaking, the phone in the living room suddenly rang urgently.

Zhang Ziqiang answered the phone and said a few words, then came to Li Yi and said, "Brother Yi, the brothers at the door just reported that people from the He family and the Bao family are here!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Speaking of the devil, here comes the devil. Lao He and Lao Bao have already arrived at the gate of the villa, so let's wait!"

"Row"

As they were talking, He Dongying and the boat charter king arrived.

Soon after, Luo Jiaying, the second generation head of the Luo family, and the person in charge of the Huo family also came.

While everyone was greeting each other, Dolson and Jazz also arrived.

Less than an hour after Li Yi arrived at Hong Kong Island, almost all the important figures in the business community here gathered at Genting One. Even the Governor of Hong Kong could not match such influence.

As there were so many people coming, the study room on the second floor obviously couldn't accommodate them all, so Li Yi simply invited everyone to the conference room on the third floor.

As they chatted and laughed, these business leaders sat down one by one in the conference room.

Li Yi knew why everyone was in such a hurry to see him, so he didn't say anything meaningless, but got straight to the point: "I know everyone is worried about the current rumors. I originally planned to hold a meeting of chamber of commerce members as soon as possible to explain this matter, but since everyone is here, let me tell you my thoughts first!"

After hearing this, the originally noisy conference room suddenly became quiet.

Then, everyone's attention was focused on Li Yi.
PS: Today I suddenly received a notice from the website that the character Chen Lao in the book was suspected of reflecting reality and needed to be revised, so I spent most of the day doing this. I feel helpless!

I solemnly declare that this story is purely fictional and any similarities between characters and plots are purely coincidental.

Also, from now on, the character Chen Lao in the book will be changed to Gu Lao. (End of this chapter)
