Synopsis: [Gentle, Obsessive AI Male Lead ✕ Severely Anxious-Attached Female Lead]
The night Jiang Chen lost her sight and felt despair, she met Tang Ji. The man spent money and effort for ...
Chapter 47: It's clear she won't return empty-handed.
Mr. Tang took out a silk scarf from his inner pocket and carefully wiped his wet collar and fingers.
He leaned back, his eyes moving back and forth between Xiao Ji and Jiang Chen. When he smiled, his wrinkles moved towards the center of his face. He directly brought the subject back to the topic, trying to make Xiao Ji and Jiang Chen ignore their previous mistake of being distracted.
"Now I think we can discuss cooperation. Ms. Jiang, you can name a price. I will do my best to achieve it within the budget."
"You can bring up anything?" Jiang Chen sat down, her fingertips circling the rim of the cup in front of her. She and Old Man Tang looked at each other, trying to raise their auras. At least in the eyes of outsiders, neither of them was inferior to the other.
"certainly."
Jiang Chen made a "three" gesture.
"I want 30% of Tang's shares."
Put forward a condition that the other party will definitely not accept, test the other party's bottom line, and then judge the true value of your item.
It can also help you figure out how determined the other person is to get the item.
Moreover, considering her current status and Mr. Tang's impression of her, asking wouldn't seem too aggressive.
"Miss Jiang, are you asking for too much?"
This proposal seemed absurd to everyone.
But Mr. Tang's eyes fell on Jiang Chen's cheap clothing brand, and considering her growth environment over the years, he felt that it was understandable.
It was just the first time that the young girl, who had not experienced much of the world, obtained something that was worth much more than herself, and she could not accurately estimate its value with her own vision.
If it were any other person or item, faced with such conditions, he would definitely turn around and leave.
It just so happens that both people and objects are within his acceptable range.
His eager-to-teach personality could no longer hold back, and he was ready to teach the little girl in front of him a lesson himself.
"Ms. Jiang, the value of an item must be within a reasonable range so that customers feel the purchase is valuable enough. Ideally, both parties should feel they have made a profit after the purchase. This is the best cooperation."
"Grandpa Tang, do you think that Dr. Yao Jinmu's unique product, with its stable and mature technology, is not worth so much money?"
"We all know that the exterior of the machine can be manufactured, but ensuring stable internal operation is a difficult problem to overcome. Can Tang's solve this problem now?"
"Probably not. Otherwise, the press conference wouldn't be delayed again and again. Tang's reputation has already collapsed once. Can they withstand this time?"
"So, what conditions did Grandpa Tang give Chen Yinchuan to get him to come here? Shouldn't he give me this more complete model and a higher price?"
Every word Jiang Chen said was leading Mr. Tang back to what happened a year ago.
She spoke clearly and read the information Xiao Ji gave her over and over in her mind.
At that time, they all thought that Chen Yinchuan's love for Yao Jinmu was the entry point. After all, after spending some time together, his love for Yao Jinmu definitely did not seem fake.
Xiao Ji actually wanted to replace Jiang Chen and charge forward.
But she said she wanted to do it herself.
It could only place its palm on the back of her hand and pat it gently a few times to make her feel less nervous.
In fact, she doesn't care what the outcome of the discussion is today, there are ways to solve it.
The smile on Mr. Tang's face froze, and the next second it was quickly replaced with another expression of appreciation.
"I was inconsiderate. Miss Jiang is truly young and promising. But even Chen Yinchuan's salary back then wasn't this much."
"How much is that? I heard in the gossip that Chen Yinchuan took the technology developed by Dr. Yao Jinmu with him when he switched jobs. My AI should be more complete and stable than the technology he brought back, right?"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed into a line. She had always been grateful to her mother for at least giving her this appearance. In the eyes of outsiders, she looked completely harmless and very convenient for deceiving others.
"Or, the conditions that Mr. Tang offered to Chen Yinchuan had nothing to do with salary, but rather..."
She spoke in a long tone, which made people's hearts excited and reluctant to let go.
Mr. Tang seemed to have thought of something and his expression was not good.
The topic can be brought back to many years ago many times in a row. Although there is no fault in the language logic, after all, AI was created by Yao Jinmu, so it is understandable that the topic revolves around her.
However, Jiang Chen mentioned it so frequently that it made him uncomfortable.
He keenly felt that something was wrong.
But he still maintained a good appearance.
"It seems to me that Miss Jiang isn't very sincere about cooperating. Let's not waste each other's time any more."
"Grandpa Tang, can you please give me your desired price?"
Xiao Ji took the lead, grabbed Mr. Tang's arm, and used all his strength to stop him from leaving.
"zero."
Mr. Tang's patience has been worn out.
Yao Jinmu had been dead for a long time, and Jiang Chen couldn't prove that the item belonged to her.
Then, whoever gets this item will own it.
Now that we know who got the item, and her motives don't seem simple, there's no need to waste time.
"Ms. Jiang, I told you I'm very busy. Opportunities are fleeting. Sometimes if you don't seize them, they will disappear unexpectedly like this."
Sometimes, I have to agree with the unconventional measures proposed by Xiao Ji at the beginning. However, when it was first proposed, it was obstructed by Tang Ji, and it was broad daylight with surveillance cameras everywhere, so it was not easy to act directly.
But Xiao Ji thinks that it is difficult to deal with people, but it is relatively easier to deal with equipment.
So when it enters the door, it puts down the automatic door locking prop, and the control button is completely in its hands.
Jiang Chen's goal is to delay the other party. It would be best if he could get some information out of them, but it would not be a big deal if he didn't get any.
If the soft approach doesn’t work, it can implement unconventional backup plans.
They are bound to restore the process of events of that year today.
It won't leave her without success.
Xiao Ji tried her best to keep only the few of them and a female clerk who had been bribed in advance in the store. After hearing about Yao Jinling's experience, she felt it was very miserable and offered to help.
"Sorry, the smart door in the store suddenly broke down and the signal has been cut off. We are sending a repairman to repair it. All purchases in the store today are free of charge."
The clerk at the door suddenly came up hurriedly to inform Mr. Tang who had stood up.
Jiang Chen pretended to be surprised and silently gave Xiao Ji a thumbs up under the table.
"Grandpa Tang, it seems like God has been especially kind to me. The opportunity is back in my hands."
Old Master Tang was thus forced to sit down and re-examine the woman in front of him, who seemed to be inconsistent with the information. She was not an ordinary woman.
He raised his phone and took a look, and sure enough, there was no signal.
"You did it?"
"How come?"
It certainly wasn't her who did it.
"So, now we should have plenty of time to chat."
"Let me guess. When you recruited Chen Yinchuan to the Tang Group, didn't you promise him something? You would probably say...this is what Yao Jinmu wanted him to do, right?"
Jiang Chen had read too much information, so he used his imagination to ask casually.
"Nonsense..."
Mr. Tang flatly denied it.
He lowered his voice, his tone already adding a hint of annoyance.
"What on earth do you want to do, Miss Jiang? I don't have time to play with you here."
But Jiang Chen had already figured out some of the tricks. Anyway, this kind of person would just be stubborn and wouldn't admit anything.
She cast her gaze at Xiao Ji, only to see it nod, thinking that her guess was reasonable.
Human micro-expressions indeed cannot escape the dedicated surveillance of AI.
Jiang Chen secretly opened Chen Yinchuan's dialog box, pressed and held the voice button, and recorded the current voice conversation between her and Mr. Tang.
She didn't have a God's perspective, so she could only guess as best she could.
"It seems so. The mountain village has limited access to information. You must have checked the weather first, right? What did you say to Dr. Yao Jinmu? Threaten? Plead? Or take advantage of her personality? In short, you achieved your goal. You killed her and tricked her lover into working for you..."
A complete reveal.
Old Master Tang was shocked that Jiang Chen came to her because of Yao Jinmu.
He thought that the accident had been closed for many years, and he had handled it perfectly, so no one cared about it anymore.
"I don't understand what you're saying..."
Mr. Tang always keeps his back straight.
He was thinking quickly to see if there was any evidence left.
He had someone clean up so thoroughly back then, how come someone would come here now, bringing with them the AI in Yao Jinmu's hand?
Did the people who cleaned up the mess back then leave evidence behind? Or did the AI tell her? Or was it just Yao Jinling's pretense of being by his side all those years, always suspecting him and investigating him?
Smart people always do too much and think too much.
Flaws are often accidentally revealed when one's thoughts are in a mess.
A zigzag note, an uncontrolled twitching of my right eyelid.
Jiang Chen released his index finger that was pressing on the voice bar, and a long voice message was sent out.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we all know you understand."
At this point, Mr. Tang could only conclude that they had no clues.
Without evidence, it is impossible to determine what he did. Even if there is evidence, it can only be considered negligence.
The tense muscles in his face relaxed.
"Jiang Chen, I have never done anything like this. If you speak without evidence, you will be held legally responsible. Locking me up here now is also illegal detention."
Seeing Xiao Ji guarding Old Man Tang closely, Jiang Chen boldly walked around to the sofa behind him, and patted his shoulder, imitating the way an elder would pat his shoulder, with a half-smile.
"Really? Do you have evidence? Do you have evidence of my illegal detention? And... you don't have evidence of me, so how can you be sure that I don't have evidence of yours? You don't know my affairs, but I know yours very well, Grandpa Tang."
Mr. Tang: "Then you can bring the evidence and report me, little girl."
"It seems that Grandpa Tang hasn't figured out who has the upper hand between us yet. You should find a way to get out of this restaurant."
Jiang Chen actually felt uneasy in her heart. She couldn't possibly trap that innocent clerk and stay with them for so long.
But she still smiled playfully, then returned to the sofa and pretended to chat with Xiao Ji in a relaxed manner.
The unknown waiting makes one's body numb.
Mr. Tang maintained this upright sitting posture for half an hour before he could no longer hold on.
He asked his secretary to ask the waiter, and the waiter expressed regret that there were too many maintenance orders today and their repairs were scheduled for several hours later.
But several hours passed and the maintenance man worked on the door for a long time, but there was still no sign of the door returning to normal.
Old Master Tang gradually became restless. He had investigated Jiang Chen before.
He thought she was an extremely stubborn person, so it wasn't impossible for him to lock them both in the store until he said something.
He shifted his gaze to the glass, the cane in his hand eager to try.
Jiang Chen was so bored that he was comparing the length of his fingers with Xiao Ji. He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and replied casually, "It's useless. This is bulletproof glass."
Mr. Tang took a deep breath, his face full of innocence and confusion.
"Ms. Jiang, I don't understand what you mean, nor do I understand why you are doing this. I haven't done something, and no matter how hard you try, I won't admit it."
