Chapter 323 Who doesn’t bully others by taking advantage of their power?
That evening, Zhou Yifei was tasting wine in his private villa while waiting for Jiang Yao's reply.
He believed that this woman was a smart person.
If this project was her own, she might give up, but since it was spearheaded by someone else and concerned the interests of the entire team, she couldn't just ignore them.
She saw through the woman's weakness, so she was so unscrupulous.
Originally, he just wanted her to bow to him, look at him straight in the eye, and cooperate with him.
But Jiang Yao's actions during the day completely angered him.
An unprecedented desire to win surged in Zhou Yifei's heart.
He would do whatever it takes to get this woman.
Thinking of this, he picked up the champagne and took another sip, with a smile of confidence on his lips.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The next second, the housekeeper came in hurriedly from outside.
Zhou Yifei didn't even turn his head and asked nonchalantly, "Is Jiang Yao here?"
The housekeeper's face turned pale. "Master, it was the master who just called and asked you to come back. It seems something serious has happened. He sounded very angry."
"My dad?" Zhou Yifei frowned. Although he was a little impatient, he also understood the old man's temper.
He still picked up the coat beside him, stood up and went out.
Returned home a quarter of an hour later.
As soon as he entered, a set of tea sets was thrown at his face.
Zhou Yifei almost couldn't dodge and was hit on the head.
The teacup fell to the ground, making a crisp "crash" sound.
"Dad, are you crazy?"
He looked at the middle-aged man in the hall with disbelief.
"Don't call me dad. I'm not as capable a son as you to cause me such a big trouble."
Father Zhou's face turned ashen, and he was furious. "You are really capable! The higher-ups are about to start a full investigation of the Zhou family. All my secrets from the past twenty years are about to be exposed. The future of our Zhou family is completely ruined in your hands!"
He almost roared at the end.
Zhou Yifei looked puzzled, "What does this have to do with me?"
"At this point, you still dare to quibble!" Father Zhou was so angry that he covered his chest and cursed, "You bastard, you abused my power and wanted to use it to threaten others. You really think you are a nobody!
I'm telling you now, the higher-ups have officially issued a notice that you've been expelled from the National Research Institute. Are you satisfied now?"
Zhou Yifei's pupils contracted and his heart trembled violently.
The first thing that came to his mind was the threat he had made to Jiang Yao during the day. "It's her? How could it be impossible..."
He muttered to himself, his face turning pale and blue, a brilliant sight.
"You think that relying on that little bit of power, no one can do anything to you, right? I'm telling you today, there are always people better than you. Just because others don't show off and don't bother with you, doesn't mean they will tolerate you bullying them!"
Father Zhou couldn't help but laugh at himself when he said this: "It's my fault too, because you lost your mother. I spoiled you from childhood to adulthood, causing you to be lawless and look down on everyone. It's really karma!"
He sighed tiredly, his back hunched, and turned to walk upstairs. He was extremely disappointed with his son.
Zhou Yifei was left frozen in place, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
All the arrogance from the day came back to bite him like a boomerang.
Thinking of Jiang Yao's repeated warnings before, he had not taken them seriously. Now it was like a slap in the face, making him finally realize that the gap between them was simply insurmountable.
For the first time, regret welled up in his heart, but it was too late.
…
The next day, the research project was approved smoothly.
Lan Qiuru happily shared the good news with Jiang Yao.
"Yaoyao, did you do this? You are really amazing."
"It's just a small favor. The most important thing is my aunt's hard work. I absolutely cannot give up." Jiang Yao responded with a smile.
Lan Qiuru's heart was deeply touched.
Over the years, she was used to relying on herself to fight for everything, and had never been protected like this by anyone, especially a girl much younger than her.
If she had a daughter, she wondered if she would be as capable as Jiang Yao.
Then she would really die of happiness.
After approval, the project was smoothly launched with the cooperation of both teams.
However, halfway through, I got stuck on an important technique.
Just as Jiang Yao was thinking about a solution, Lan Qiuru told her, "A large foreign company is interested in cooperating with us on this single crystal blade technology, but they want to meet with the person in charge before negotiating."
"Let me go?" Jiang Yao was a little surprised, but she was already familiar with this kind of cooperation negotiation.
It's nothing more than a matter of each striving for their own interests, and she is quite eager to try.
After making an appointment, Jiang Yao arrived at the private room of the coffee shop at 1:00 p.m. that day.
She knocked on the door outside.
"Come in." Some familiar English voice came from inside.
Jiang Yao hesitated for two seconds before pushing the door open and walking in.
When she saw the man sitting in the room, she looked surprised.
"Miss Jiang, it's an honor to meet you again."
Isn't this brown-haired, blue-eyed foreigner in front of her the Richard she met last time at the space exhibition, the one who mocked China and provoked her?
At that time, her sharp remarks severely criticized the other party.
But later, he blocked the door and exchanged business cards with her.
Jiang Yao didn't take it seriously at all at the time and didn't expect to meet him again in the country.
She couldn't help but feel a little wary in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface: "Mr. Richard, are you the one who wants to discuss cooperation with me?"
"Oh my god, Miss Jiang still remembers me. We exchanged business cards before. I originally wanted to make an appointment to meet you, but I didn't expect you to return home so soon. It's such a pity."
Richard said with a flamboyant expression and an excited tone, "So, after making several inquiries, I came to China specifically this time just to discuss cooperation with you."
Jiang Yao thought this guy's acting was simply terrible.
She said calmly, "Mr. Richard, I don't think I have the ability to make you fly thousands of miles to discuss cooperation with me."
"My dear, you really underestimate yourself. Your brilliant performance and talent at the exhibition were broadcast through the reporters' cameras, and it really set off a wave in our country's aerospace field."
Richard boasted about her to the skies.
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched as he listened, and he finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Mr. Richard, we should be discussing cooperation on single-crystal blades today, right? As for those off-topic topics, let's not talk about them anymore."
"Yes." Richard seemed to have finally gotten back to the point. "Of course I want to reach a project cooperation with Miss Jiang, but before that, I have a condition."
