Xu Shi chuckled inwardly. "He's in my basement, how could you possibly find him..." But he maintained his facade of concern. "The 'Snake Ring' has experienced something similar before, and I had to make quite a few personnel changes to keep it under control."
"Mr. Xie, please feel free to ask if you need anything. Given our relationship, I would be happy to provide assistance."
"You said it yourself, so don't go back on your word later."
Xie Qingyan nodded with a smile, but inwardly cursed.
If she could, she would turn the man in front of her into a hedgehog right now.
But not yet, so she didn't continue the topic. "Speaking of which, Chairman Xu mentioned before that he had an 'even better plan.' Would you mind telling us about it?"
Judging from her tone, it seemed like a trivial matter, something she mentioned casually, and not even as important as the inquiry she had just made.
But the most important things always seem to be said in this way.
"I would be delighted."
Xu Shi nodded slightly, immediately sent over the prepared information, then crossed his hands on the table, observing his fiancée's reaction.
Xie Qingyan browsed the information calmly, seemingly unaffected, but her unconsciously rapid breathing betrayed her.
Although Xu Shi only showed her some general outlines and did not mention the core parts at all, it was enough to shock her greatly—she knew very well that the benefits and influence brought by the "Overlimit Plan" were absolutely immeasurable.
Frankly speaking, this plan is very difficult to implement, and it could even be described as too audacious.
But if we succeed, even if it's just taking one step, it will be enough to change the current situation.
She couldn't possibly let something like this pass her by; she had to try it no matter how high the risk.
So Xie Qingyan didn't mince words, turning off the virtual screen and saying directly, "This project is indeed very interesting, I like it a lot. As for the specific proportions... 40/60?"
She originally wanted to say 50/50, but she couldn't figure out Xu Shi's attitude for a while. In addition, she had been suffering losses recently, so she simply gave in first.
"Half is fine."
Xu Shi's answer was unexpected: "After all, this project will inevitably require a large number of compatibility tests and upgrade capability analyses, and 'Prism' is impeccable in this regard. I have no intention of haggling over a ten percent profit."
"...Then I really have to thank Chairman Xu for being so straightforward."
Xie Qingyan was taken aback; Xu Shi's bluntness was unexpected.
Is this guy really that generous?
"Isn't that how it should be?"
Xu Shi's tone became more sincere, "When my father and Uncle Xie were alive, 'Snake Ring' and 'Prism' had such a good relationship... but they've grown distant in recent years, which is the most regrettable thing for me."
"Now that you mention it, I really shouldn't have said that."
Xie Qingyan remained noncommittal, smiling as she raised her glass. "Then let's consider this the beginning of our reconciliation. I wish us a pleasant collaboration."
"Yes, it's a pleasure to work with you."
The two exchanged a smile and lightly clinked their glasses.
All other unpleasantness vanished at this moment, at least temporarily.
