Chapter 292 Warm
"What do you mean it"s not working?" Qin Fen asked Quan Lei. "Our plan is working fine. We have already started doing the research, then we can even invite Jiang Yue, once we launch our new AI system that can be used to gather intelligence. Isn"t that what you want?"
Quan Lei did not answer, instead, he silently gritted his jaws in annoyance. Did Jiang Yue know that he was behind this? Then, why was she still ignoring the fact that Angler Tech was creating waves in the tech industry? Was she deliberately trying to ignore Angler Tech because she knew that he was behind all of this?
"I want you to send our lawyers and tell CEO Jiang that I would like to see her, otherwise, we will publicize the fact that they have stolen our technology."
"Lei Lei... why don"t you just let me see her... After all, it"s still a secret that you are our new CEO?" Qin Fen asked. Angler Tech was previously owned by the Qin Family. But for some reason, her father gave the management to Quan Lei after he had resigned.
"No... I will do it," he insisted. To be honest, this was his only way of talking to her, without Fu Jin being around. Quan Lei wanted to be close to Jiang Yue, yet till now, he hadn"t even thought of a solid plan to realize his wishes. Jiang Yue was avoiding him like a plague. She wouldn"t even glance at him.
Sometimes, Quan Lei even questioned what did he lack compared to Fu Jin. He might not be as good looking as the latter, but he was also proficient and smart. Just like Fu Jin, Quan Lei also came from a big and influential family. So, how come Jiang Yue wouldn"t even look at him? Was he really that unpleasing to her eyes? Or could it be that Jiang Yue was doing that because she had already had Fu Jin?
Did it mean that Jiang Yue would look at him if he eliminated Fu Jin? Quan Lei shook his head at his thoughts. Eliminating Fu Jin? Seemed like a good idea... if only he was allowed to do that.
"Lei Lei... Jiang Yue is not someone, who will agree to something like that... why don"t you let me go to see her first? I can ask her to meet the CEO, considering the drone project." Although Qin Fen was saying all this coyly, she was inwardly in rage. That Jiang Yue insulted her when she was there. She couldn"t wait to show off and let her know that her father"s company was as capable as w.a.n.g Empire.
She watched her fiance nodded, before smiling at him. Quan Lei was being really supportive of her actions and pampered her like a queen. Just how lucky was she to find someone like him?
Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was ignoring all the online claims about the possible fall of w.a.n.g Empire. Her focus was with "Colossus". Also, Jiang Yue wanted to use this opportunity to test Long Die. If this news went public or for some reason reached the ears of Angler Tech, then she could only suspect Long Die, being a spy. Moreover, this project was even more demanding, than her previous ones.
"You really should take some rest," she heard Long Die mutter beside her. She must have seen how Jiang Yue ma.s.saged her nape in exhaustion.
"Thank you... but I was just a little exhausted," she answered, while cursing Fu Jin silently. That man was becoming more and more experimental by every pa.s.sing day. It was as if Fu Jin had been purposely doing that, so she could not stay up too late doing her projects.
Jiang Yue was unaware that she was already blus.h.i.+ng while thinking about her and Fu Jin"s activity the previous night. Of course, this did not go unnoticed by Long Die.
"CEO Jiang, you really should take care of yourself. I... I mean.. without you w.a.n.g Empire is also nothing," she blurted out before she lowered her head.
Seeing this reaction only made Jiang Yue giggle. Long Die was really like this. She always said nice things, then got embarra.s.sed after. Jiang Yue found this side of her cute and for some reason warm. However, she also did not miss the sadness in Long Die"s eyes. She couldn"t help but wonder if that was because Jiang Yue reminded her about her own daughter.
Not that Jiang Yue minded. In fact, she had actually quite liked it when Long Die awkwardly treated her as if she was her daughter.
"By the way... um... I cooked something for you. .. but I um... I"m not sure if..."
"What is it?" she asked.
"Beef with broccoli... I know its umm... really simple... but um... nevermind."
"What are you waiting for? Give it to me," she smiled at her. In response, Long Die fetched a lunchbox from her backpack and gave it to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue immediately opened the lunchbox and was surprised to be a.s.saulted by such delicious smell. "I um.. my fiance wants my bodyguard to try every food that I eat before I consume them... I hope you don"t mind," she said. After the fire caused by Li Qiang, Fu Jin made sure to add this as a security measure. He feared that someone would try to poison Jiang Yue.
"Oh... sure... no problem." Long Die smiled, clapping her hands towards her son-in-law. Too bad she still hadn"t had the chance to meet him.
Long Die was very happy to know that Fu Jin cared about Jiang Yue that much. Aside from that, she could clearly see the happiness in Jiang Yue"s eyes while thinking about him. Just the fact that her daughter was happy, made Long Die be happy as well. At least, Jiang Yue found someone reliable. Someone who truly loved her.... unlike her mother.
