"Who is it?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback. "Just don't interfere with my development."
"You'll see when the time comes. Don't worry, they won't touch your company's assets." Old Ling hung up the phone.
Ye Xingchen sighed helplessly; it seemed there were some things he simply couldn't stop.
After spending the day at the company, Du Fang called out to Ye Xingchen as he was leaving for the day.
"Are you still working overtime?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile, looking at Du Fang in her white coat.
It seems she can't let go of her past relationship with Du Fang.
She works at her own company, and Ye Xingchen's instinct was to object, but her purification technology was just too tempting.
She is now in charge of the research and development of anti-cancer pills, and has her own independent laboratory and team. Ye Xingchen is thinking of giving her some shares.
"You've invested so much in my research and development, I have to achieve something soon, right? But I have a dinner party tonight, you have to come with me." Du Fang took Ye Xingchen's arm.
"What kind of dinner party?" Ye Xingchen asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I was forced to go to this blind date by my parents, and I even know the guy. He’s a college classmate. He went to Japan after graduation.” Du Fang pouted, looking very unhappy.
"He's a returned overseas student, so you should say he's quite qualified," Ye Xingchen chuckled. "Why don't you consider him?"
"What are you thinking, Ye Xingchen? Let me tell you, I've decided on you for life, and I'll work for you." Du Fang snorted, "If you don't become my man, you'll have to take care of me in my old age."
"Let's not think that far ahead, okay?" Ye Xingchen said with a wry smile.
"I'm changing my clothes, wait for me here." Du Fang chuckled, turned around and ran back to change.
Junlan Hotel is a very high-end business banquet hotel.
There weren't many people, only the senior that Du Fang knew. This guy wore a pair of rimless glasses and looked very refined.
But Ye Xingchen felt that this guy was a refined scoundrel.
"Hello, hello, I am Cheng Tao, now a Chinese of Japanese descent. My name is Yoshino Yu, and I work in international trade. This is my business card."
When this guy saw Du Fang, he didn't swarm around her like a fly. Instead, he greeted Ye Xingchen first and handed her his business card.
"Changed your nationality?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"Yes, it's not that China is bad, but I think the quality of Chinese people needs to be improved. Many of Japan's policies have been quite helpful to my development."
Cheng Tao said with a forced smile, then greeted Du Fang: "Fangfang, long time no see, come, sit down."
"Cheng Tao, you've changed a lot, especially with those glasses on, you look even more like a successful person." Du Fang smiled and sat down with Ye Xingchen. She said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is Ye Xingchen, my boyfriend."
Ye Xingchen, who was drinking tea, froze and almost choked. Du Fang's intention to use him as a shield was all too obvious.
"Haha, Fangfang, you don't need to be like this. I was prepared before I came. A girl like you will definitely have no shortage of outstanding guys pursuing her."
To everyone's surprise, Cheng Tao's reaction was unexpected. He laughed it off and said, "I came here for a blind date to appease my parents. Now that you have a boyfriend, I can explain things to them when I go back."
"A straightforward person." Du Fang breathed a sigh of relief; she was most afraid of those who were difficult to deal with.
“Mr. Ye must also be an outstanding person. The two of you together would be perfect.” Cheng Tao laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about the matter.
Ye Xingchen frowned. He could clearly sense Cheng Tao's displeasure, but the guy hid it very well.
This kind of person is truly cunning and difficult to deal with.
"Thank you so much, you're a really good friend." Du Fang was overjoyed.
"Actually, Du Fang, I came back this time to talk to you about something." Cheng Tao poured a glass of red wine for the two of them: "I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation? I'm working for someone else now, what can we cooperate on?" Du Fang was slightly taken aback.
"Mr. Cheng is involved in international trade, and Fangfang's main area of expertise doesn't seem to offer any areas for collaboration with you." Ye Xingchen was taken aback. He knew that this was Cheng Tao's true purpose, wasn't it?
“Ha, in this line of work, it’s all about connections,” Cheng Tao laughed. “I know that Du Fang has a purification technology.”
"This technology is called supercritical plant extract purification technology. I have a friend who is very interested in your technology, so he asked me to ask you whether the technology can be transferred or shared."
"Is this what you're planning?" Ye Xingchen's tone turned serious.
“Cheng Tao, I do have this technology, but it has already been licensed to the company I work for. According to the agreement, I cannot share or transfer it casually.” Du Fang glanced at Ye Xingchen.
She continued, "Moreover, although this technology is advanced, its only use is biological purification, which is not something that ordinary companies need. What would you do with this technology?"
"Ha, it's incredibly useful. My friend is quite famous in Beijing's social circles, and he has connections with high-ranking officials. He wants to start a cosmetics company, so he needs your technology."
Cheng Tao smiled and said, "You can consider it. Don't worry about the price; the other party can definitely afford it."
"I'm sorry, this technology cannot be transferred casually." Ye Xingchen's expression was solemn: "It is a double-edged sword. If used well, it will benefit one side; if used poorly, it will bring disaster to one side."
"If someone uses this technology to purify substances like methamphetamine and marijuana, the consequences will be very serious. Is your friend really in the cosmetics business?"
"I'm asking Du Fang's opinion. As long as she agrees, that's fine." Cheng Tao glanced at Ye Xingchen: "You're just her boyfriend. It won't do you any good to interfere too much."
"Du Fang, have you thought about it?"
“This…” Du Fang couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xingchen.
"You can discuss this with me; I'll make the decision," Ye Xingchen said. "Go back and tell your friend that this technology is not for sale."
"Ye Xingchen." Cheng Tao sneered, his previous polite attitude vanishing without a trace: "Don't meddle in other people's business."
“It’s not about meddling, I’m her boyfriend and her boss,” Ye Xingchen said. “She’s mine, and I have an obligation to refuse any unreasonable demands on her behalf.”
"Du Fang, is this what you mean?" Cheng Tao turned to look at Du Fang.
“He’s my boss, he’s the one who calls the shots,” Du Fang nodded.
Cheng Tao leaned back in his chair, loosened his tie, and his expression behind his frameless glasses was somewhat ferocious.
"We're alumni, and since you won't listen to my well-intentioned advice, don't blame me."
"Cheng Tao, what do you mean? I don't intend to transfer the shares. Are you going to force me to buy them?" Du Fang frowned.
