Chapter 297 Changes
Nine in the morning: Six hours before the deadline...
Qin Fen and Quan Lei still did not think that Jiang Yue really could do anything to Angler Tech. They were confident in themselves, thinking that whatever Jiang Yue was talking about, had already been eliminated by their engineers. Although many investors had already voiced out their concerns about Jiang Yue"s threat on the news, Qin Fen still brushed them off, saying that they were not the ones, who had stolen that malware, so there was actually no need to worry.
Moreover, Qin Fen, who was the lead engineer of Angler Tech, was also busy, preparing the proposal for the M Country. Qin Fen wanted to impress the Prime Minister"s wife, who invited them. She also wanted to show everyone that Angler Tech"s technology was more advanced, than the technology of w.a.n.g Empire. But most importantly, she wanted to impress Quan Lei-her beloved fiance.
For now, no one was aware that her fiance was the CEO. They kept it a secret, as Quan Lei firstly wanted to prove to the world that he could topple over w.a.n.g Empire. He wanted to prove that he deserved her. That"s right. According to Quan Lei"s stories, he was not from a well off family, and the reason her father trusted him was just due to his abilities in business. Because of this, he was a little insecure about his background, which was incomparable to Qin Fens. That was the reason they decided to keep this relations.h.i.+p a secret for now.
"Guess what has happened?" Qin Fen beamed as she walked inside Quan Lei"s office.
"What?"
"The Prime Minister"s wife is now supporting us. In fact, she wants us to destroy w.a.n.g Empire during a month."
"I"m sorry, did you say the Prime Minister"s wife?" he asked while frowning.
"Yes!" Qin Fen answered, unaware of Quan Lei"s chaotic thoughts. Why would the wife of the Prime Minister want them to crush w.a.n.g Empire?
"Did w.a.n.g Empire receive the same invite to partic.i.p.ate, just like us?"
"Of course! They have even received it ahead of us."
"Is Jiang Yue also coming to the M Country?" he clenched his teeth. Would she really come? Did somebody deliberately invite her?
"Yes, I think so. She was so proud when she told me that they have received an invite. Hmp! Now that we also have one, I can"t wait to see her face," she giggled.
Quan Lei"s face instantly darkened when he heard Qin Fen"s words. So, Jiang Yue would indeed come. Was Fu Jin aware of the dangers in case someone got to know that Jiang Yue was w.a.n.g Ruo"s daughter? "I"m not in the mood right now. I"m tired. I want to rest," he said, trying to calm his nerves.
"Lei Lei, what"s wrong? What do you need? Perhaps, you need a ma.s.sage?" she asked coquettishly, then raised an eyebrow. "Or maybe, something else?"
"No... just leave," he started kneading his temples.
"What about..."
"I said leave!" he blurted out, raising his voice at Qin Fen. The latter instantly jolted up when she heard Quan Lei"s angry words. Her eyes instantly turned red before she ran out of the room, leaving the seething Quan Lei alone. That woman was lucky she was still useful.
Quan Lei continued pondering the current situation. Should he call Fu Jin and ask him to go with Jiang Yue to M country? But, what could he do?
Meanwhile...
"CEO Jiang are you really sure that we should go to the M country?" Long Die asked. She was obviously nervous about something.
"Long Die... we have already talked about this many times. Yes... I will go and you, my dear, will come with me," she smiled. Maybe, Long Die was just afraid, because of the current chaos, because of power and greed. "M Country is not really that chaotic. Plus, they have the highest level of military technology in the world right now. I want to see and learn more."
Long Die sighed before fixing her gaze back at her computer. Jiang Yue was supposed to stay away from these people. She had brought her up as someone, unaware of that world. Someone spoiled like a princess, dumb, and someone that would not attract anyone"s attention. Especially, not from her true father and grandmother. Long Die wondered, what had happened during these years after she was gone. How come Jiang Yue had changed so much?
Jiang Yue was supposed to be happy and lead a life, away from those people, and maybe, even away from her.
So, how did this situation happen? How did Jiang Yue become so smart and even meet Blake Lee? She had never taught her computer nor self-defense. She was unaware, unaware of her origins.
"These families had been against each other"s throat for tens of years. I"m sure that my visit to that country won"t change a thing. Stop worrying about me, okay?" she heard Jiang Yue mutter while looking straight into her eyes.
Would not change anything? Yeah... right!
