Several security guards in the courtyard were discussing Xia Linyu's appearance, and they were talking enthusiastically about it.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang emerge from inside, the security guards immediately fell silent.

This is something that would never happen at Lu Zheng's company on a normal day.

But now they are comparing Mingxiang and this woman, saying that the two are equally matched, which is why the security guards are discussing this.

Although President Lu and President Ming are a good couple to everyone, this is a sensitive topic for women, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

But Mingxiang was very clever. When she saw that the security guards had suddenly fallen silent after talking for a while, she knew what they were discussing.

But Mingxiang's trust in Lu Zheng was ingrained in her very being.

She even joked with Lu Zheng, whispering in his ear, "Look, they're comparing me to Xia Linyu, but Xia Linyu is indeed quite pretty, huh?"

Although Xia Linyu was indeed stunningly beautiful, on par with Ming Xiang, Lu Zheng's loyalty to Ming Xiang was beyond question; in fact, he looked at Xia Linyu the same way he looked at any other person.

Hearing Mingxiang's words, he scoffed: "Good looks are just a facade. Besides, I don't know her and I have no interest in her whatsoever. If we're talking about looks, I think she's far inferior to you."

"You smooth talker! You men say one thing and mean another."

Mingxiang rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng, seemingly disbelieving him and as if she wanted to glare at him, but in reality, she was both shy and incredibly happy.

Jiang Li'er can never compare to her in this respect.

Mingxiang is miles ahead of her.

Lu Zheng, however, said with a serious expression, "I'm not joking."

He was definitely not joking.

Mingxiang was finally amused by his straight-laced personality and giggled twice: "Alright, alright, I know, let's go over there and see what the young lady wants to see us about."

Xia Linyu is the daughter of the president of the Xia Group. Of course, the president of the Xia Group, Xia Zhengchun, also has a son named Xia Ruo.

I heard they are all the most prestigious elites in the business world.

Xia Zhengchun always talks about his two children whenever he appears in public.

For him, that was pride!

As Mingxiang and Lu Zheng walked towards Xia Linyu, Xia Linyu stopped talking to her driver.

She turned to look at Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang and said, "Are these Mr. Lu and Miss Ming?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Yes."

Although Xia Linyu's voice was soft, it carried a hint of a CEO's sharpness as she said, "Gentlemen, our Xia Group would like to ask for your help. If you can do it, our Xia Group will enter into a three-year cooperation agreement with your Lu Group. How about it, it's mutually beneficial?"

With the participation of the Xia Group, Lu's Business Company's business will surpass Li Gu's online business empire within a month.

Under normal circumstances, it would take Lu Zheng and his team about one to three years to develop their business.

Of course, once their size reaches one-tenth of the Li Group's, it will be wishful thinking for Li Gu to try to eliminate them.

But if they rise to this level within a month, Li Gu will probably collapse.

However, after Xia Linyu said that, neither Lu Zheng nor Ming Xiang were in a hurry to agree.

Most businessmen are a group that won't get up early without profit.

The main offices of the Xia Group are located in Haicheng, the provincial capital, which is a full two thousand miles away from their small city. Moreover, given the size of the Xia Group, their business partners are all very powerful.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't even consider a small group like Lu's Trading Company a threat.

In that case, this favor probably won't be so easy to do.

Lu Zheng and Jiang Li'er are both extremely intelligent people. If they casually agree to something and then fail to do it, the impact on the company will be enormous. Moreover, if the Xia family retaliates, even with their amazing intellect, they will not be able to defeat such a super company.

In the face of absolute strength, any fancy tricks can be crushed.

Therefore, the first thing Lu Zheng and his team need to determine is what Xia Linyu wants them to do.

They will only deal with it if they can handle it; if they can't, they'd rather not have the opportunity.

Xia Linyu is just as intelligent.

When Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang asked this question, she already knew what their concerns were, so she said, "I know that President Lu's programming skills are very impressive, and it's nothing special. We need to design a robot, which my father requested, so we'll do it."

"Mr. Lu is the first to launch the robot and has the exclusive right to purchase the patent, so we would like to ask Mr. Lu to help develop a robot that my father needs."

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

However, his laughter had a hint of amusement in it.

Xia Linyu's expression changed slightly before she turned to Lu Zheng and asked, "Mr. Lu, what are you laughing at?"

Lu Zheng said, "Miss Xia, if you want us to cooperate, you should tell the truth."

Xia Linyu's driver's face darkened: "Mr. Lu, you've gone too far. Do you think our young lady is lying to you?"

Mingxiang covered her mouth and giggled, then said, "There are countless talented people all over the country, and there are many top talents who are smarter than me and Lu Zheng."

"There are an astonishing number of people who can program and mechanics. If you say these robots are for private use, our patents won't really have any impact."

"The Xia Group has an extremely wide network of connections, so there is absolutely no need for them to go to such lengths to come to our small town."

"Secondly, even if our Lu's Company has caught Miss Xia's attention, Miss Xia can simply send her senior executives to cooperate with us. There is absolutely no need for her to make the trip herself."

It's important to know that the Xia Group is a super-large company.

They come here to seek cooperation with those who are less capable. Any normal company, unless it's something particularly difficult, would be willing to cooperate.

This is equivalent to the opportunity for a fish to leap over the dragon gate.

So, if a senior executive could handle the task perfectly well, why would such a person in charge have to come in person? If it were really that simple, wouldn't that be like taking off your pants to fart?

It's unlikely that the children of the president of the Xia Group would have so much free time.

Unless her visit was absolutely necessary, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang would never believe that she came for such a trivial matter.

This idea of ​​robots manufacturing anything is absolutely a pipe dream.

After Mingxiang said that, the driver immediately fell silent...

Lu Zheng, with a solemn expression, said, "Miss Xia, if you want to cooperate, you should be frank. How about this, let's go inside, have a cup of tea, and talk slowly?"
