Chapter 94 will be unlocked tomorrow.

Attorney Zhou slapped his thigh excitedly: "That's right!"

He had only thought that the other party would use the data to optimize the chip hardware, and never imagined that the other party might use it directly to make competing software!

This is absolutely "raising a tiger to cause trouble"!

Robert Stephen's face instantly turned extremely grim, and he tried to argue, "That assumption is too extreme; we are not..."

Zhang Pengfei interrupted him without hesitation, speaking quickly: "Mr. Stephen, the purpose of legal provisions is to prevent all extreme situations. If this behavior is not explicitly prohibited, then according to the interpretation of contract law, it is within the permissible range."

He looked directly at Robert Stephens, and his mannerisms unconsciously began to resemble Chen Jingyang's, gentle yet assertive.

"Is your company willing to commit at this moment to never using Tanzhi's model output data for developing generative AI applications? If so, we will explicitly include this clause in the contract."

As soon as the translator finished speaking, John Kramer glared angrily at Robert Stephen, forced a smile, and said, "Yang, your young man is very talented and quick-witted, but this is indeed an unnecessary worry."

He sighed almost imperceptibly: "Okay, we agree to add a clear restrictive clause to the terms: Zenti promises not to use the aforementioned data to develop generative AI applications that directly compete with Zenti's core business."

Attorney Zhou immediately chimed in: "Moreover, the terms must clearly define the scope of 'direct competition,' including but not limited to specific areas such as large-scale language models, text generation, code generation, and image generation. There is no room for negotiation on this point."

Chen Jingyang looked at Zhang Pengfei, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up, making no attempt to hide the admiration and satisfaction in his eyes.

This is his dog!

Even if you're sitting at the very bottom, once an opportunity arises, you can immediately turn the tide and shine brightly!

Li Jianren glanced at Chen Jingyang, then at Zhang Pengfei, chuckled, and lightly licked his teeth with his tongue, like a venomous snake flicking out its tongue.

At 6:30, the negotiations finally came to an end. Both sides made concessions to varying degrees on certain terms. Although the process was bumpy, the outcome was not bad.

John Kramer looked slightly tired. Before parting, he shook hands with Chen Jingyang and said, "Yang, although it was much more difficult than I expected, the result was very good."

Chen Jingyang's smile became much more genuine: "The best cooperation is like this: when negotiating, we're like enemies, but once the deal is done, we're the strongest allies. Tonight, let's drink until we drop and celebrate the official launch of the project!"

The banquet is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight, still at the Cloud Steps and Moonlit Terrace.

After seeing John Kramer and his group off, Chen Jingyang turned around and glanced at Zhang Pengfei: "Zhang Pengfei, could you please bring a cup of coffee to my office?"

It's just a publicity stunt. Chen Jingyang definitely has something to say to Zhang Pengfei alone. Everyone knows this, but they all tacitly pretend not to hear.

Zhang Pengfei frowned and glared at him—couldn't he be a little more low-key?!

Why do you have to say it in front of so many people? Don't you think there are already enough rumors and gossip?

Chen Jingyang curled his lips slightly, pretended to be blind, and was remarkably calm. Like a victorious rooster, he held his head high, chest out, and walked back to his office with steady steps.

However, since Chen Jingyang had given such an order, Zhang Pengfei naturally had to put on a show as well.

However, I passed on coffee with a third of sugar and half of milk. Instead, I took a few braised eggs, two pieces of bread, and a carton of yogurt. Finally, I got a glass of warm water and added a spoonful of honey.

I knocked on the door, but didn't hear a "please come in" sound. Instead, the door opened with a "click".

The first time, Chen Jingyang personally opened the door for him and stood at the entrance to greet him.

While Zhang Pengfei was still in a daze, Chen Jingyang grabbed his wrist and pulled him, slamming the door shut. With a twist of his wrist, the door was locked from the inside!

Zhang Pengfei was startled, realizing what was happening: "Why did you lock the door?"

What do you think?!

Chen Jingyang leaned in, cupped Zhang Pengfei's head, and gave him a sudden yet premeditated kiss. It was haphazard, impatient, and he gently bit Zhang's lower lip. The force wasn't strong, but it was full of possessiveness.

"Ugh...!"

The honey water in their hands spilled out, splashing onto the two of them. The heat, higher than their body temperature, made their ears burn, and the air seemed to be filled with a sweet scent.

The moment their lips met, it seemed as if even the air slowed down, and only their breaths grew closer and closer, intertwined and inseparable.

It felt as if the slightly cool vines had silently crept in, slowly climbing up the warm tree trunk, rubbing the smooth, delicate bark against the hot wind, gradually tightening, as if trying to envelop the entire trunk, until it was pressed into one's chest!

The things in his hands fell to the ground with a clatter. Zhang Pengfei trembled slightly, suddenly snapping back to his senses. He grabbed Chen Jingyang's hand, forcefully separating his lips from Chen Jingyang's, and gasped, "That's enough, stop!"

If this continues, he'll lose control!

Chen Jingyang's chest heaved slightly as he gently wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, smiling as he said, "This is your reward. Are you satisfied?"

Zhang Pengfei, his face flushed, pushed him away, leaned against the wall to catch his breath, and looked up at him, asking, "I want a different reward, is that okay?"

Chen Jingyang raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."

Zhang Pengfei lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a moment. Then he raised his head, his clear eyes sparkling: "It's getting a bit hot. Could you... take off the smart ring?"

The smile on Chen Jingyang's face gradually faded. Zhang Pengfei swallowed and looked at him with hope: "I will never do such a thing again, I promise."

With only a few days left in his punishment period, and Zhang Pengfei having performed so well recently and made such a significant contribution, it wouldn't be unreasonable to want to remove his punishment early.

Chen Jingyang exhaled a short breath and smiled gently, "Okay."

Zhang Pengfei visibly radiated health and vitality. He pulled open his sweater collar and leaned close to him, saying, "Here, take it off quickly."

The silver ring encircling her long, fair neck gave Chen Jingyang an inexplicable sense of ownership.

His eyes softened, and he lightly swiped his hand across the smart ring, causing Zhang Pengfei to involuntarily shrink his neck.

"Silly boy!" Chen Jingyang flicked his forehead lightly and laughed, "It's not as simple as just unlocking it. The remote control is in 7005. I'll go back and get it tonight, and I'll unlock it for you tomorrow."

The punishment period is finally coming to an end, not only for Zhang Pengfei, but also for himself!
