Chapter 241: A Misunderstanding of ’Simple
"So, what do you think? Do you like my proposal? If you think it’s a good idea, you’d better get the paperwork sorted out quickly. Otherwise, by the time I’ve dealt with the Xia Group, I might just change my mind."
Yun Zijin looked at Tang Zhaosong, her eyes full of expectation.
"Let me think about it."
This matter was of great importance; Tang Zhaosong couldn’t make the decision entirely on his own.
However, if the higher-ups approved Yun Zijin’s proposal, getting the official documents would be a piece of cake.
The main issue was whether Yun Zijin’s suggestion was reliable or not.
"Alright, take your time to consider it. This is my assistant’s contact number. You can call her when you’ve made up your mind."
Yun Zijin took Mei Lin’s business card out of her purse.
That’s right, it was Mei Lin’s business card.
Yun Zijin might not have her own business cards in her purse, but she always had to have Mei Lin’s.
"This is..."
Tang Zhaosong looked at Yun Zijin, and although he didn’t finish his sentence, Yun Zijin got his meaning.
"Of course. So far, I only have one assistant."
’The others are all bodyguards.’
"Then can I give her number to others to discuss the matter of changing the soil composition?"
"If what you want to discuss has nothing to do with me, she probably won’t respond to you."
Yun Zijin had no choice but to say that. What else could she say? That Mei Lin was a robot who ignored anything not related to her?
Tang Zhaosong was left speechless by Yun Zijin’s words. If that was the case, this matter was indeed rather tricky.
"Of course, if it’s something I’ve instructed her to do, Mei Lin will definitely do her utmost to complete it."
Yun Zijin stopped just short of telling Tang Zhaosong that the most important thing to get Mei Lin’s cooperation was to make *her* happy.
And the thing that would make Yun Zijin happy was, naturally, being legally permitted to build her own manor.
"Alright, I’ll have them consider your proposal carefully, but I can’t guarantee it will be approved."
Although the plan sounded perfect when Yun Zijin described it, implementing it would surely not be that simple.
"So, is our meeting over for today?"
Other than this, Yun Zijin had no other business.
"You can do as you please. I have to go discuss your matter."
The matter was too important; Tang Zhaosong didn’t want to waste a single second.
"Then take care. Do you need me to have a bodyguard escort you?"
"No need. I have people protecting me."
Given Tang Zhaosong’s status, how could he possibly travel with only one assistant? There were an unknown number of people following him in the shadows.
Yun Zijin nodded, showing she understood.
After Tang Zhaosong left with his people, Lu Yunque and the others all turned to look at Yun Zijin.
"Zijin, are you really going to build a new laboratory for Mr. Tang under your own manor?"
This was no joke.
Moreover, this was equivalent to completely exposing Yun Zijin to Guo Jia. If anything went wrong, Yun Zijin wouldn’t even have time to react.
"Yeah, it’s the simplest way."
’Simple?’
Lu Yunque and the others looked at Yun Zijin with indescribable expressions.
"Zilin, do you have some kind of misunderstanding of the word ’simple’?"
"You guys don’t get it. Anyway, if I say it’s simple, it’s simple. If you don’t believe me, you’ll see the real deal during construction."
"So now, are you still going back downstairs?"
"My business is settled, but you guys haven’t done anything yet. If you’ve spotted any promising projects, we can check them out together."
Having sorted out her own affairs, Yun Zijin completely relaxed.
"You still want to invest in good projects? Do you have that much money?"
If Mr. Tang’s side approved it, with the manor and the laboratory, it would definitely cost tens of billions.
"We can just take a look. I never said I’d definitely invest."
Yun Zijin didn’t mind spending some money on small projects that could yield results in a short time.
"Alright, alright, we know you’re loaded, little lady."
Li Yuexing now felt his perception of Yun Zijin’s wealth had just been taken to a whole new level.
"Zijin is right. There’s no harm in going down to take a look. It’s not like we have to invest."
The four of them were definitely investors many projects wanted to attract, but since they had just left with Yun Zijin and Tang Zhaosong, quite a few people had looked disappointed.
Now that they saw them returning, the crowd started cheering up again.
However, some observant people noticed that this time, Mr. Tang did not return with them.
Some guessed that Mr. Tang might have already found an investment, while others speculated he might have left for an urgent matter.
There were all sorts of guesses, but every one of them was a million miles away from the truth.
Li Yuexing skillfully found an empty corner, and the five of them sat down together.
Before long, someone approached them.
"President Xiao Lu, President Xiao Li, President Xiaofu, President Xiaosheng, and this is..."
"My surname is Yun."
"My girlfriend."
"Ah, so you’re President Xiao Lu’s girlfriend. Hello, Miss Yun, a pleasure. I’m Ke Hong, the general manager of Yu Heng Technology. Here’s my business card."
As he spoke, Ke Hong started handing out his business cards.
"Yu Heng Technology? What company is that?"
Yun Zijin asked in a low voice, leaning close to Lu Yunque’s ear.
It wasn’t that she was being discriminatory; she had genuinely never heard of it.
"Never heard of it."
The companies Lu Yunque remembered were usually ones that had long-term partnerships with the Lu Family, with no significant gap in strength between them. This Yu Heng Technology was probably not in the same league.
"Our company mainly focuses on technology research and development. We’ve had some minor achievements so far..."
He then pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed a copy to each of them.
Yun Zijin opened it with some interest. Inside were details of the projects they had already successfully developed. Some of them looked quite interesting.
But... many of them were non-essential technologies. After looking for a while, Yun Zijin lost interest.
However, Ke Hong clearly didn’t notice Yun Zijin’s lack of interest and continued to talk eloquently.
Lu Yunque frowned slightly and brought Yun Zijin a small cake.
"Eat a little something first. I’ll take you out for a good meal after this is over."
Yun Zijin nodded. The networking event would end at 8:00 PM, so there was plenty of time for dinner.
"I wonder if you all might be interested in making a small investment in our latest research project?"
Ke Hong finally finished his pitch, stating the purpose of his visit.
Yun Zijin shook her head. "You guys can invest if you’re interested."
Lu Yunque completely followed Yun Zijin’s lead. If she wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t invest.
Li Yuexing glanced at Yun Zijin and also decided not to invest.
"Although you have quite a few achievements... the returns probably aren’t that great. I think we need to wait and see."
At least Li Yuexing was being tactful.
With three people in a row deciding not to invest, Ke Hong’s expression started to crumble.
He looked toward Fu Ze and Sheng Hao, who hadn’t spoken yet.
"I don’t think Mr. Ke’s project is a good fit for the Sheng Family’s business scope, so I’m sorry."
"Mr. Ke’s project doesn’t quite align with my company’s current investment direction. You could try asking some other people."
Pentakill!
Ke Hong completely lost his composure.
