An elderly person and a child sat facing each other at the desk.

Jiang Xiaoli initially only mentioned the new version of "Changliao" and its information encryption technology.

Tan Xuanyi nodded and said, "This information is very crucial. In the physical industry, if the quality of a product is questioned, an appraisal report can be obtained from an appraisal department to prove it. However, it is difficult for the internet industry to do this."

"Yes, although 'Changliao' wants to highlight their information encryption technology as a selling point for the new version, we at 'SOSO' have always placed great importance on user information security. Zong Jia is currently leading the programmers in reviewing the software's security features."

Tan Xuanyi was a little puzzled, "You came to see me in such a hurry just to tell me this?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and asked a question, "Professor Tan, do you think there's a high chance that if I secretly support Zhao Zhen'an, he will replace Zhao Yuanfang and take over the 'Huaxin Group'?"

Tan Xuanyi looked at her intently, "Xiao Li, it's not good to get involved in their family affairs."

She said helplessly, "Professor Tan, I don't want to either, but even a weakened giant like Huaxin Group is still bigger than a horse. If Zhao Yuanfang is determined to get Yujia Technology's shares by any means necessary, we can't possibly guard against him every time, can we?"

"Sigh!" Tan Xuanyi sighed heavily. "I met Zhao Yuanfang a few years ago. Why is he becoming more and more irrational as he gets older?"

Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Maybe she stayed at the top for too long and couldn't accept the possibility of the company declining, so she wanted to take a gamble."

She took a sip of tea and continued, "However, his son Zhao Zhen'an disagrees with him, and I think this is a good opportunity."

Tan Xuanyi didn't reply; he rested his elbows on the table and closed his eyes in deep thought.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and slowly said, "No matter what, the two of them are father and son who are blood relatives. If we want Zhao Zhen'an to accept your cooperation request, we need to have more leverage."

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Do you have any good ideas?"

Tan Xuanyi took a photo album from the bookshelf behind him, opened it, pointed to a group photo, and said, "This is my old classmate Li Ruhai, who was also a professor at Peking University. In 1984, he was invited by Zhao Yuanfang's father, Zhao Chuanjun, to join what was then 'Huaxin Construction.' Now he is a minor shareholder in 'Huaxin Group' who doesn't handle any affairs."

Jiang Xiaoli frowned. "A minority shareholder who doesn't care about anything? Back then, Old Master Zhao invited Mr. Li and gave him shares, so Mr. Li must have done a lot for 'Huaxin Construction,' right? Now...?"

"The reasons behind this are quite complex." Tan Xuanyi put the photo album away again. "Old Li has watched Huaxin Group grow from a small company that only took on engineering projects into the large conglomerate it is today, but everyone had their own mission at each stage."

He sighed. "After Zhao Chuanjun passed away due to illness, Zhao Yuanfang developed diversified industries and established 'Huaxin Group.' The original key personnel of 'Huaxin Construction' have basically been marginalized, and now they're basically like Old Li, receiving dividends every year for retirement."

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, what these shareholders want is for the group to develop better and more stably so that they can receive more dividends, assuming there are no major changes in the group."

She quickly added, "Or perhaps a premium on the equity transfer fee?"

Tan Xuanyi nodded slightly. "I don't know about the others, but when I was catching up with Lao Li the other day, he mentioned that he wanted to take his child abroad. I don't know what's so great about foreign countries."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully. "Professor Tan, could you introduce me to this Mr. Li?"

"You silly girl!" Tan Xuanyi pretended to be annoyed. "You're asking all sorts of nonsense! Why would I bring him up if I didn't want to introduce him to you? Just to tickle your ears?"

She chuckled, "I was just being polite, why did you take it so seriously!"

Tan Xuanyi rolled his eyes at her, "I'll let you know when I've made the appointment!"

"Okay!"

They only stayed in the study for a little over half an hour. When Ran Hui saw them come out, she asked in surprise, "Didn't you have something important to discuss? You finished talking so quickly?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "It's an important matter for me, but a small matter for Professor Tan. It will be resolved quickly."

Tan Xuanyi raised an eyebrow arrogantly, "Old woman, don't you know what level I'm at?"

Ran Hui ignored him and pulled Jiang Xiaoli to sit down and chat. "Xiaoli, I've already given the scripts for episodes 36 to 69 of 'The Fang Family' to Manager Qiao. Have you read them?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, "I watched it immediately, Professor Ran, your story is so touching, I cried when Fang Rui died in episode 52!"

Ran Hui was overjoyed, "Is it really as good as you say?"

She said, "Yes! Our company's next self-produced drama is 'The Fang Family,' and we'll be starting casting soon. I'll have someone notify you then, and you can come and give me your opinions!"

"I can also choose the actors?" Ran Hui was pleasantly surprised.

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Of course, you are the creator of 'The Fang Family,' so you certainly have the right to give opinions on casting."

"Very good!"

Seeing that the two of them were chatting endlessly, Tan Xuanyi said, "Alright, it's too late. It's not safe for this little girl to go home alone. You two can chat slowly during the day."

Ran Hui glanced at her watch; it was already past 9. She quickly stood up. "Yes, yes, let's talk another day. Xiao Li, be careful on your way home tonight, and call us when you get home."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Okay, Professor Tan, Professor Ran, I'll be going now."

She went back to her home next to the school and called Tan Xuanyi's family to let them know she was safe. Then she went to Zong Jiayu across the street to get him a change of clothes before leaving.

On the way, she found a barbecue restaurant and ordered enough food for twenty or thirty people, filling the car to the brim.

Upon arriving at the "Jiang's Building," she looked at the pile of food in the car and made a phone call to Zhong Yuan.

"Hey? Little Pear, you're looking for Brother Zong, right? They're super busy right now! We're not going back today!"

Jiang Xiaoli guessed this was the situation, and she said, "Call two or three people downstairs. I bought you some food, but there's too much for me to carry."

Zhong Yuan was overjoyed. "Oh, I'm coming down right now! Little Pear, you're like a mind reader, how did you know I was hungry? I think our cafeteria should have one or two 24-hour windows like steamed bun shops and hot pot restaurants. It's really unbearable to be hungry while working overtime in the middle of the night!"

“No problem, I’ll arrange it.” She agreed. With such frequent overtime at “Yu Jia Technology”, the logistics should indeed keep up. “Hurry up and call someone down, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
