As Gong Yu was standing still, Murong Yunxi wagged her long forefinger at Gong Yu and asked, "What are you thinking? Did you actually not sleep last night and did something you shouldn"t have?"
"Ah? What could I do?" Gong Yu coughed lightly, but the instant embarra.s.sment on his face was observed by Murong Yunxi.
Murong Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly and pinched Gong Yu"s chin with one hand. "Tell me! What did you do while I was sleeping?"
As Gong Yu hesitated, a knock was heard at the door. He got up and opened the door.
Outside the door was Murong Ye, who had dressed up. He looked at Gong Yu a little seriously and whispered, "We will set out in advance today. You and Xiao Xi need to get out quickly."
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"Right. Because of what happened last night, I"ve changed our schedule for catching the person playing tricks behind our backs..."
Murong Ye looked at Gong Yu with a deep meaning in his eyes. Gong Yu, who understood at once, nodded and went back to his room.
"Get up, we"re going to go now!"
Gong Yu approached their bed, held up Murong Yunxi"s hands with his hands, and lifted her up.
Murong Yunxi, who lazily followed Gong Yu, frowned at him. "What time is it now? Why must we go out so early? Is my brother the evil landlord—Zhou Bapi?"
"It"s not early now. It"s nearly eight. Your brother is waiting for us downstairs."
"Hey! Gong Yu, you are now taking my brother"s side. Are you having an affair with him?"
"Nonsense! Hurry up. We have something serious to deal with!"
Although she complained, Murong Yunxi had gotten the notion. In less than half an hour, Murong Yunxi had gotten ready and gone downstairs with Gong Yu hand in hand.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Murong Ye greeted them casually while subtly making eye contact with Gong Yu.
"Not bad. I woke up at daybreak," Murong Yunxi replied casually, not noticing the eye contact between them.
"Well then, let"s go now. I"ve told Terry to put our breakfast in the car. We can eat it on the road."
"Hey! Brother, when did you become so exploitative? It"s early now. Is there an emergency?"
Murong Ye flicked Murong Yunxi on the head and complained, "Nonsense! How did I exploit you?"
"We went back so late last night, yet you woke me up so early this morning. I haven"t even had any breakfast. And now, you are hitting me!" Murong Yunxi, who pouted and complained like a spoiled child, didn"t forget to complain to Gong Yu. "Gong Yu, is that right? My brother is bullying me!"
Gong Yu couldn"t do anything but shake his head and gently rub Murong Yunxi"s hair with a smile. "Alright, return to normal. We have something important to do now! Your brother loves you very much. Don"t you feel sorry for thinking of him like that?"
"Hey, you definitely have an unusual relationship with him. You are taking his side again!"
"I"m just taking the side of reason! Alright, let"s go now!"
Then, Gong Yu followed Murong Ye with Murong Yunxi in his arms and got into the car.
"Today, we are going to negotiate with the Director of NT Group, Blank, on a case of merger and acquisition. We will cooperate with NT Group to merge an American internet company. You minored in computers, so it kind of matches your major. Here are the relative doc.u.ments. Look at them first. You are the main speaker today, and I will be a.s.sisting you." Murong Ye handed his laptop over to Murong Yunxi while he ate his sandwich.
Murong Yunxi flicked a glance at Murong Ye. "See? You are exploiting me!"
Murong Yunxi took his laptop and studied it carefully.
"It"s a potential company. Its biggest advantage is its enormous database. There are few companies in the world with such a vast database. The company has great potential and may develop well now. Why would it want to be merged?"
"Right, the company has great potential and it has been developing at a surprising speed. There is no need for it to be merged. It can develop well by itself. However, its founder is suffering from a disease. He wants to retire and get some rest."
"I see! Money or a great cause are of no use without a life. I understand. However, the founder is the main technology director. Almost all the creative technologies are being developed by him. If he stops working, could the company possibly develop well?"
"We have you."
"Me?"
"Right! You are an elite with an advanced degree, as well as an outstanding computer master."
"Brother, you know that there is always someone better than me in the computer field. I am no one!"
"I believe in you! I will let you govern the company after it is merged. You were involved with some companies at home. I want you to start with this company and begin your overseas business. Then, you will gradually take over other firms."
"Brother, I am not a superhuman."
"Those companies at home basically don"t need your involvement now. The company will be reintegrated after being merged and everything will be positioned again. That"s a new challenge. It will be of great help to your improvement."
"Wow! Brother, I really think you are becoming more and more exploitative! Have you been looking forward to this day to throw such a mess at me and take a long holiday?"
"Oh, I won"t force you if you don"t like it! Besides, are you sure this is a mess?"
"Well, I admit that it"s not a mess."
"Obviously, lots of people are coveting this."
Murong Yunxi stopped and continued to lose herself in the doc.u.ments Murong Ye had given her.
Fortunately, Murong Yunxi was super-talented. She memorized what was written in the doc.u.ments before they arrived at NT Group. Moreover, she turned doc.u.ments into what she needed after thinking and processing them by herself.
NT Group attached great importance to this meeting. Director Blank took his employees and waited at the gate.
Murong Ye, Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu got out of the car. Two lines of employees stood there as Blank welcomed them with a smile.
Blank was a typical American, tall and strong, and about forty years old. He walked towards Murong Ye and they shook hands gently and humbly.
Then, Murong Ye turned back to pull Murong Yunxi forward. "Blank, this is my sister, Murong Yunxi. I"ve mentioned her before. She will be in charge of this project." He immediately pointed to Gong Yu. "This is Gong Yu."
Blank shook hands with Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu in greeting and then led them upstairs.
They were led into an extremely luxurious reception room. The secretary served them three cups of coffee and some desserts while they just sat down.
"Although I did not expect that Miss Murong would be so young, she can take charge of this big project."
Blank"s words were polite, yet a hint of disbelief was still evident.
Murong Ye, whose eyes became darker, frowned at Blank.
However, Murong Yunxi looked unusually calm as she smiled slightly. "Whether I am young or not has nothing to do with what I am in charge of. What matters is the end result, right?"
"Haha, right."
Although Blank burst into laughter, the light of contempt in his eyes shone brighter.
"Well then, let"s start, Blank!" After she uttered her last word, Murong Yunxi calmed down. She connected a projector to her laptop and displayed the PPT she had created just now.
Her PPT was simple but sharp. It demonstrated the problems completely with no more exaggerated statements or decorations.
Murong Yunxi stood up and approached the front of the projector screen with a laser pointer in her hand. She got straight to the key points she had concluded in, including some professional points that had not been in the doc.u.ments Murong Ye had given her, as well as some creative changes to be made by her in the future.
Murong Yunxi looked serious, and her statements sounded clear and definite. She seemed to be another person. Someone who was able to attract others unconsciously with what she was saying.
Because Murong Ye, Gong Yu and Blank had not majored in computers, they couldn"t understand many professional aspects. However, Murong Yunxi used a new way to explain, which made them understand all the professional terms and concepts in a minute, and also convinced them to approve of her opinions, including some points that were more thorough and thoughtful than theirs.
Murong Ye was astonished. After all, in only an hour, Murong Yunxi had not only finished reading the doc.u.ments he had given her, but had also had so many thoughts. Even the simpliest PPT included many points. He had already known that Murong Yunxi was really talented and good at this. However, he hadn"t known that she could do so well in her profession! Maybe she could also do well in other fields. She only needed time.
A smile formed in the corner of Murong Ye"s mouth. His face brimmed with appreciation and pride.
In Gong Yu"s mind, Murong Yunxi was always a shiner who could create accidental surprises. Thus, he didn"t feel surprised that she could do so well. However, Murong Yunxi, who was shiningly careful at the moment, still drew his attention, rendering him unable to remove his eyes from her.
Of course, Blank was the most astonished person among them. He had never expected that such a little girl, a woman he felt contempt for, could create something so excellent.
"Miss Murong, you made it!"
"Yes!"
"Amazing! I never thought that a woman could operate a company so well, let alone study internet thoroughly."
"The value a woman creates may not be less than a man"s."
At the moment, Murong Yunxi felt full of energy. Even her blood was burning. As a matter of fact, she hadn"t thought clearly of some questions like she did now. However, as she had just stated, her mind had suddenly opened up and even some questions had added more information. She found that she really enjoyed what she was feeling now, which made her confident and gave her a sense of achievement.
"Miss Murong, are you a computer major? Which university did you study at?"
"I minored in software programming when I was in University K of China."
A look of disbelief emerged on Blank"s face. University K might be one of the top schools in China, but few Americans thought highly of it. Besides, the fact that this had been her minor made Blank feel more contempt.
Murong Yunxi smiled faintly, as she still felt confident. "Blank, have you heard of Rank F?"
