"His flight has landed." Jiang Tingchen glanced at his watch.

Ning Nanxue nodded, then suddenly frowned: "That person is..."

At the other end of the passage, a man in a dark gray suit was looking around, his demeanor exuding a dangerous elegance.

Ning Nanxue recognized him immediately because of his face which was 70% similar to Xu Zhiru's.

"Xu Zhao." Jiang Tingchen whispered, "He's here too."

Xu Zhao seemed to have noticed them as well. His lips moved slightly, revealing a cold smile, and he walked towards them.

"Mr. Ning, long time no see." Xu Zhao's voice was deliberately polite. "I heard that you were going to meet Mr. Louis from Green Light Technology? What a coincidence, I'm here to greet him too."

"Mr. Xu, please don't meddle in other people's business," Ning Nanxue said calmly. "I am solely responsible for the cooperation between Fu Corporation and Green Light Technology. I don't need outsiders to interfere."

Xu Zhao's smile remained, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Ning has misunderstood. On behalf of the Asia-Pacific Investment Alliance, I'm also interested in discussing cooperation with Greenlight Technology. Perhaps Mr. Louis would be more interested in our terms?"

Just as Ning Nanxue was about to respond, the door opened and Louis walked out accompanied by two assistants.

"Mr. Louis." Ning Nanxue greeted him with a professional and proper smile, "Welcome to China."

Lewis shook hands with her: “Mr. Ning, I’m glad to finally see you again.”

"This is Mr. Jiang Tingchen, my partner and the key planner of this collaboration," Ning Nanxue introduced.

As Louis shook hands with Jiang Tingchen, Xu Zhao stepped forward and said, "Mr. Louis, I'm Xu Zhao, a representative of the Asia-Pacific Investment Alliance. We very much hope to reach a cooperation with Greenlight Technology."

Louis raised his eyebrows: “Asia-Pacific Investment Alliance? Sorry, I don’t know much about you.”

"We've just been established, but we have strong financial resources," Xu Zhao handed over his business card. "Compared to family businesses like the Fu family, we can provide a broader international platform."

Ning Nanxue watched Xu Zhao's performance calmly, and then whispered to Lewis: "Mr. Lewis, your car is ready. If you don't mind, we can discuss the details of the cooperation with Fu in the car."

Louis thought for a moment and said, "Of course, Mr. Ning." He turned to Xu Zhao, politely but distantly, "Mr. Xu, if you are interested, please contact my secretary through formal channels to arrange a meeting."

Xu Zhao's smile was stiff, but he still maintained a calm appearance: "Of course, Mr. Louis, I look forward to meeting you again."

Louis got into the back seat of the special car, and Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen sat opposite him. As soon as the car door closed, Louis couldn't help but ask: "Is that Mr. Xu related to the Fu family?"

Ning Nanxue did not answer immediately, but handed Lewis a document: “This is Xu Zhao’s background check. He is Xu Zhiru’s younger brother, and Xu Zhiru has a close relationship with Fu Chen.”

Louis flipped through the documents, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

"Commercial espionage? Money laundering? Although these charges were eventually dropped, the facts are clear." He raised his head and admired Ning Nanxue even more. "Mr. Ning, I appreciate your honesty. This information has helped me avoid potential risks."

"Fu's values the trust of its partners, Mr. Louis," Jiang Tingchen added. "We seek to establish long-term, transparent partnerships."

Louis nodded: "This is exactly the kind of cooperation that Green Light Technology is looking for."

The vehicle drove into the five-star hotel and the staff were waiting at the door.

Ning Nanxue arranged for Louis to stay in the presidential suite and agreed to visit the Fu family in the afternoon.

"Mr. Lewis, please take a rest." Ning Nanxue said goodbye gracefully, "We will pick you up at 2 pm to go to the company."

Louis had just settled in when the room phone rang.

The front desk informed that Fu Chen was coming to visit. Louis was slightly surprised, but still agreed to the meeting.

A moment later, Fu Chen walked into the suite's reception area in a custom-made suit, looking very elegant.

"Mr. Lewis, I'm Fu Chen, the actual controller of the Fu Group." He extended his hand, "It's an honor to reach a cooperation intention with Green Light Technology."

Louis shook hands with him: “I am flattered that Mr. Fu came to visit me personally.”

"As the heir to the company's founder, I hope to personally participate in and lead this collaboration." Fu Chen sat down, his tone sincere. "Mr. Ning is an excellent professional manager, but major decisions concerning the company's future still need to be controlled by the family."

Lewis pondered for a moment: “Mr. Fu means that the agreement reached with President Ning before needs to be renegotiated?”

Fu Chen smiled: "Not entirely. It's just that some terms may need to be adjusted to ensure the best interests of both parties. Moreover, as the largest shareholder of the company, the final signing power is in my hands."

Lewis looked at Fu Chen: "Interesting. I still remember the board authorization letter that President Ning showed me, which clearly stated that she was fully responsible for this cooperation."

Fu Chen looked a little embarrassed: "That authorization is valid, but there are restrictions under certain conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Terms related to the company's core technology and assets require my approval." Fu Chen tried to change the subject. "Why don't we talk about Greenlight Technology's technology roadmap first?"

Lewis declined to continue the conversation: "Mr. Fu, your company's internal division of labor seems a bit complicated. After I meet with Mr. Ning, I will seriously consider your opinion."

When Fu Chen stood up to say goodbye, his expression had become much colder: "Mr. Lewis, business is about profit. Who to cooperate with ultimately depends on who can provide the greatest value."

Louis watched Fu Chen leave, then picked up the phone and dialed Ning Nanxue's number.

Louis shook his head slightly, his tone gentle but firm: "Mr. Fu, business decisions are not only about profits, but also about long-term cooperation. I have discussed all the details with Ms. Ning. Her professionalism and execution are impressive."

Fu Chen's face darkened, a chill flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, trying to maintain a polite manner. "I hope Mr. Louis won't regret his decision today."

"Choosing a partner has never been one of my regrets." Louis watched Fu Chen leave, then picked up the phone: "Please tell Mr. Ning that I'm looking forward to your visit this afternoon."

At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen arrived at the hotel on time.

Ning Nanxue was wearing a gray-blue suit skirt, the hem of which perfectly outlined her elegant curves.

"Mr. Louis, I hope you had a comfortable rest." Ning Nanxue stretched out her hand, and the rose gold bracelet on her wrist sparkled softly in the sunlight.

"Pretty good, except for one unexpected guest." Louis gave her a meaningful look.

Jiang Tingchen stood beside Ning Nanxue, his suit neatly pressed, his right hand resting on her waist naturally: "Is anyone disturbing you?"

"Mr. Fu Chen came to visit and tried to redefine our partnership." Louis said lightly.
