Chapter 23: A Fool's Dream
No wonder Jiang contacted him and would rather give up 5 percentage points of profit on the new project than let him withdraw his investment from the Xu family.
He was also asked to specifically point out that it was because the eldest daughter of the Xu family withdrew her investment.
Moreover, it is said that there are better new project compensations.
Originally, I thought that the Jiang family was bullying others by taking advantage of their power, but now looking at the appearance of the two people and listening to the tone of Lu Xuan in front of me, it seems that those rumors are not groundless.
His words sounded like they were mocking.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, feeling that he was hinting at something.
Zhao Zexiang didn't beat around the bush with him anymore, his expression full of sarcasm.
"I heard that Mr. Lu has relied on Miss Jiang Yao's skills and talents to sign one cooperation after another over the years, but I heard that Miss Jiang Yao has left your company now, and there is no guarantee in terms of technology.
Besides, Mr. Lu dumped her after using her, choosing the Xu family's daughter who could be more helpful to you. And the Xu family's daughter deliberately intervened as the third person and flaunted her power. I really can't agree with such character, so how could I dare to invest in you again?"
The moment the words fell, Lu Xuan and Xu Yueyao's faces turned pale and blue.
It's even more exciting than a color palette.
"Mr. Zhao, it's not what you think. Did someone tell you something?"
He never dreamed that the problem of withdrawing investment was because of Jiang Yao again.
Is this woman spreading the news that she was abandoned everywhere?
Time and time again, I have to go against him.
no!
He absolutely cannot let the last incident happen again.
Thinking of this, he quickly adjusted his expression and defended himself righteously: "Boss Zhao, you really misunderstood.
Yaoyao and I are an engaged couple. Our two families had already made an engagement several years ago.
It was Jiang Yao who had been pestering me all these years. I took her in out of pity and gave her a chance to work in my company.
I never expected that she would take all the credit for our company's technology. Please believe that our expertise is even better than hers."
"Oh, really?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhao Zexiang's eyes became even gloomier.
Originally, he thought that Lu Xuan only chose profit. After all, he was a businessman, so it was not unforgivable. But now he heard that he actually directly belittled his ex-girlfriend as worthless.
Although I don't believe that Jiang Yao has any real ability, this alone can at least give us a glimpse of Lu Xuan's character.
He tapped the table with his fingers. "Then, I'd like to ask Mr. Lu, what does the HY technology mentioned in the project mean..."
"Mr. Lu, please explain this from a professional perspective so that I can understand the strength of your company."
When Lu Xuan heard this, his face turned even paler and he was stumped on the spot.
He didn't expect Zhao Zexiang to ask such a question!
As the president of Lu Corporation, he would not be exposed to these things on a daily basis. Technical matters were previously assigned by Jiang Yao.
"What? Mr. Lu can't answer? Didn't you just say you were professional and amazing?"
Zhao Zexiang's fingertips tapped the table lightly again and again.
But it was like a warning bell ringing in Lu Xuan's heart.
Lu Xuan was covered in cold sweat and clenched his teeth tightly.
"Boss Zhao, you're clearly forcing me to do something I can't do!"
There was a hint of anger in his tone.
Zhao Zexiang asked again, "Then let me change the question. Can your company provide the latest CM materials as a key selling point for this project?"
Lu Xuan was speechless again.
He knew that this was the latest material in the aerospace industry, but it was still just a concept and no one had developed it yet.
He didn't believe that anyone would dare to take such a job!
"No, but Mr. Zhao... I believe that no company in the entire industry can..."
However, before he could finish his words, a clear female voice suddenly came from behind him.
“We can!”
Lu Xuan looked up in surprise, and saw Jiang Yao walking towards him with elegant steps. She opened her red lips and directly and fluently explained the explanation he had been thinking about for a long time but couldn't come up with about the HY materials.
The similarities between HY materials and CM materials are pointed out. To put it bluntly, CM materials are an upgrade of HY materials.
"Give me a month to upgrade this material, and I'm sure it will be successful!"
Jiang Yao said, glancing coldly at Lu Xuan.
She had originally wanted to come here to test the waters today, and was worrying about how to tackle this tough problem. However, she never expected that as soon as she reached the door, she heard what Lu Xuan had just said.
It gave her a chance.
If she remembered correctly, the school teacher's project team happened to mention this topic. As long as she passed the exam and joined the project team, she was confident that she would be able to develop this material quickly and solve the technical difficulties.
Even if she couldn't, she was confident that she could borrow Xu's laboratory to help the technical staff with the development. After all, this was just a small topic.
So, she walked right in.
And these words were simply spoken right in Lu Xuan's face.
Blatant sarcasm.
Trampling on his IQ.
Zhao Zexiang was stunned, then stood up from his chair. Although he always looks serious, who would have thought that he also likes gossip in private.
Naturally, he had seen Jiang Yao's photo a long time ago and recognized her.
But he was really just giving face to Jiang Group before, and he didn't think that Jiang Yao would really have any ability, nor did he think that Jiang Group would really compensate him with a better project. But now, he suddenly understood what the better project Jiang Group was talking about!
He looked at Jiang Yao with admiration, "Ms. Jiang, you're absolutely right. I heard that you've joined Yunsheng and are working with Liheng now?"
Jiang Yao didn't expect that he actually knew him. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and smiled calmly. He also knew how to seize the opportunity and press on.
"Yes, I'm here today to represent the Yunsheng and Liheng projects. If Mr. Zhao is satisfied with my answer, I wonder if I would have the honor to discuss cooperation with you?"
Lu Xuan suddenly woke up.
Jiang Yao's graceful answer and professional insights just now left him dumbfounded, and even made him feel a sense of panic that he was far behind.
For a moment I forgot to refute.
But now, he heard Jiang Yao actually starting to snatch cooperation in front of him, and he simply didn't take him seriously.
Lu Xuan immediately stood up angrily.
"Jiang Yao, don't push your luck!"
He was so angry that veins popped on his forehead.
Xu Yueyao also reacted and directly accused him.
"Sister, are you dreaming?"
Of course, she didn't know what they were talking about, but she just didn't believe that Jiang Yao had such ability.
"Mr. Zhao, don't be fooled by her. My sister has been out of school for two years, and recently she suddenly wanted to go back to school, saying she wanted to join some research institute. She's just going there to get a licence, she has no real skills at all. It's not certain whether she can even get into the institute, let alone who can guarantee that she will research something that hasn't even been released yet!"
