Although Ning Xingruo was more than willing to have in-depth conversations with her fiancé, she had no interest in broadcasting them live; her tenderness belonged only to one person.
After snuggling against Wei Tianci, Ning Xingruo stopped making any further moves and turned to the others, saying, "What are you daydreaming about? Get to the point."
The executives on site were visibly annoyed.
I'm still in a daze after being fed so much PDA by you two.
Minister Dao Lei of the Security Department said worriedly, "President Ning, now that I've been targeted by the master thief, what should I do?"
"I feel unsafe anywhere now."
"We should brainstorm and come up with a good solution."
Upon hearing this, the other executives also turned serious; this was indeed a big problem.
They looked at Ning Xingruo in bewilderment, hoping she could provide more clues.
[Ye Fan obtaining the key is part of the original storyline; this absolutely cannot be changed, otherwise it will alter the course of events and lead to serious trouble.]
A look of worry appeared on Wei Tianci's face.
Ning Xingruo's heart was entirely focused on Wei Tianci, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw his expression.
She then made up her mind and slowly said, "Since the master thief has already set his sights on Minister Dao, there's no reason to guard against him for a thousand days."
"He wants the safe key, so give it to him!"
ah???
The executives on site were taken aback.
Even Wei Tianci stared at Ning Xingruo in astonishment. It was like a glimmer of hope appearing after a long period of darkness.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Ning Xingruo slowly said, "I'll go to the group later to switch out the formula. I'll carry the real formula information with me."
"Then Dao Lei attended the dance party as promised that night, and I directed him the whole time."
"Let's try to get that master thief the safe key tonight with a clearly stated price."
"Since he dares to try and take advantage of us, let's just squeeze some money out of him!"
Security Department's Dao Lei: "Understood, President."
The other executives immediately showered him with flattery: "President Ning has such foresight, we admire him greatly."
"Yes, since some thieves have their eyes on us, let's go with the flow and teach them a lesson they won't forget."
I'm totally impressed!
Wei Tianci stared at Ning Xingruo with a completely bewildered expression.
Wow, my dear lady, you're really skilled and daring!
He said weakly, "Xingruo, you really are a modern-day female Zhuge Liang, you can even think of such a radical solution."
Ning Xingruo looked at him with captivating charm: "Darling, I also need to install a hidden camera near the formula safe."
"I want to film the master thief's every physique, from tall to short, fat to thin, and I want to ruin his reputation!"
'Hmph, Ye Fan, you dare target my fiancé? Don't blame me for dealing with you!'
She thought to herself.
Wei Tianci was petrified.
The plot has gone so far as to be completely out of control that even eight strong horses couldn't pull it back.
............
Evening, in the multimedia conference room of Tianxing Group.
The group's senior executives gathered together, watching the projector screen intently.
The video playing was of a rooftop dance party at the Bund Hotel.
Well-dressed men and women from high society gathered together, clinking glasses, dancing, and enjoying a scene of peace and prosperity.
In a secluded corner booth, Dao Lei, the head of the security department of Tianxing Group, was lost in thought, feeling utterly alone.
At this moment, he was wearing a hidden earpiece and a hidden camera on his glasses. He was fully equipped, just like a secret agent.
Meanwhile, Ning Xingruo, inside the Tianxing Group office, was using a walkie-talkie to remotely direct operations while watching the monitor screen.
Suddenly, a simply dressed young man appeared on the rooftop.
After glancing around, he walked straight to Dao Lei and sat down opposite him.
"Why is Mr. Dao sitting alone? Why not have a glass of wine?" the man asked.
Upon seeing this, Ning Xingruo immediately gave a quick reply: "I'm in a bad mood and have no interest in drinking. Who are you?"
Dao Lei's ears twitched, and he immediately repeated what Dao Lei had said.
The man smiled faintly: "My name is Ye Fan. I'm a colleague of Minister Dao. I work at Ankang Group."
A fleeting shadow crossed his eyes.
His plan today was to get Dao Lei drunk, take the key, make a copy, and then return the original key to him without anyone noticing.
But this kid just sat there without touching a drop of alcohol. How could I continue with my plan?
Dao Lei looked at Ye Fan warily: "We're on different sides, in different groups, so there's nothing to talk about."
Ye Fan spread his hands and smiled gently: "We're rivals at work, but we can be friends after get off work."
His eyes gleamed as he said, "Minister Dao is troubled? Men are always troubled by one of two things."
"It's either for money or for a woman."
Dao Lei said calmly, "My wife is virtuous and my children are filial."
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. So this guy is worried about money? That's easy! I have some!
He then probed, "Minister Dao, you are a veteran of Tianxing Group. Your boss, Wei Tianci, and President Ning Xingruo must have treated you well, right?"
Dao Lei waved his hand impatiently: "That's fine."
Ye Fan was secretly pleased; this clearly showed dissatisfaction.
He then lowered his voice and said, "Minister Dao, to be honest, I have a chance to make a fortune for you. It's up to you whether you want it or not."
Dao Lei coldly replied, "I want it!"
Ye Fan looked at him suspiciously: "You're not even going to ask me what kind of opportunity it is?"
Dao Lei snorted: "It's nothing more than the trivial matter of corporate competition."
"I work 996 hours a day at Tianxing Group and only earn enough to buy a few houses, but Wei Tianci is idle and yet he's incredibly wealthy, and he even has a perfect woman like President Ning who loves him deeply. Why is that?"
"I've figured it out. In today's society, I'll do anything to make money!"
"Everything is fake except for the money."
His face showed indignation.
Ye Fan was overjoyed. He patted Dao Lei on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother, you've got it!"
Anyone who is Wei Tianci's enemy is his friend!
He then went straight to the point: "Brother Dao, I won't hold back anymore. I have a habit of studying door locks and keys from all over the world."
"I accidentally discovered a strangely shaped key on you, and I'd like to borrow it to study it for one night. Could you grant me that wish?"
"Of course, I won't let Brother Dao suffer a loss. I'll give you a large sum of money and make you rich overnight."
He understood without saying a word.
Dao Lei was startled. President Ning's information was indeed true; someone was eyeing the key in his hand.
His ears twitched, then he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I need one hundred million!"
Ye Fan was taken aback; this kid had quite the appetite.
However, the 3.0 version of the antihypertensive drug from Tianxing Group is incredibly valuable, and acquiring it for 100 million yuan would be a very profitable deal.
Ning Xingruo, who was giving remote instructions, revealed a playful expression and uttered two words: "Pound Sterling".
Upon hearing the sound, Dao Lei was stunned. British pounds? That's nine hundred million Chinese yuan.
Are you sure you won't get beaten up for asking such an outrageous price?
He was nervous, but said calmly, "Excuse me, I meant pounds."
