She spoke with a firm and resounding voice, each word uttered with utter arrogance.
Mingyao looked at her coldly, which surprised Serena.
"Su Xueya, you are the first person to look at me like that."
Serena adopted an even more languid posture, exuding an invisible but palpable pressure.
Mingyao glanced at her dismissively. "And then?"
Serena was somewhat surprised: "Aren't you worried that no one will invest?"
“Miss Serena, I think you’ve forgotten where you are.”
She looked down at Serena, who was sitting in the chair, her face expressionless.
"This is Haidu, not your W country."
"Still acting so high and mighty even in Haidu, Miss Serena, aren't you overestimating yourself?"
Serena chuckled: "I have the right to be arrogant."
"Without the support of Country W, you wouldn't be so naive as to think that Pei Siyu's robot could be made, would you?"
Mingyao retorted firmly, "Why not?"
"Isn't everything in Haidu today created by the people of Haidu?"
"As for Country W, isn't it overstepping its bounds?"
Serena stared into Mingyao's eyes, her expression turning sinister: "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
She jumped up and started clapping.
Her clapping wasn't loud, but it drew the attention of everyone present.
Serena looked at Mingyao with a teasing smile: "The healing robot from the Haichang branch is indeed quite good, what a pity."
I don't think it will work.
These few words alone made the previously enthusiastic investors hesitate.
They glanced at each other, then turned and left.
Serena looked at Mingyao triumphantly: "How about it?"
Before Mingyao could answer, Xu Sitian's roar came first: "Sister Su, what are you doing!"
She rushed forward, first glaring at Mingyao, then looking at Serena with a fawning expression.
“Ms. Serena, our product has won the approval of many judges, why…”
Serena raised her chin, her attitude extremely arrogant, completely disregarding Xu Sitian.
"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. What else can you do?"
She turned her gaze to Pei Siyu, who was standing not far away, and greeted him with a smile.
"President Pei, I'm so sorry."
"We hope that the Haichang branch can continue its efforts."
Mingyao stared at Serena's retreating figure, clenching her fists tightly.
Serena turned around, then froze.
As if suddenly remembering something, she turned around and leaned close to Mingyao's ear: "Miss Su, if you are interested in cooperating, you can contact me."
"Only through cooperation can we go the distance, right?"
She casually shoved the business card into Mingyao's hand.
Mingyao stared intently at her retreating figure.
Serena is threatening her and Pei Siyu!
Because she disobeyed and refused to comply with Serena's orders, Serena made the investors abandon their investments.
Country W's reach is indeed too far; many of the investors present have investments in Country W.
Xu Sitian glared at Ming Yao with uncontrollable rage; anyone who didn't know better would think she had committed some heinous crime.
"Su Xueya, do you even know who you've messed with?"
"The investors present are all big-name companies!"
"Do you know how much damage you've caused the company?"
Xu Sitian started complaining, but Ming Yao remained unfazed and tossed her her business card: "Just because she's rich and powerful? Does that mean we have to be her dogs?"
"Xu Sitian, if you want to be the one, go be the one yourself."
The coldness in Mingyao's eyes made Xu Sitian gasp.
This was the first time she had seen Mingyao so assertive.
Mingyao walked to Pei Siyu's side and took a deep breath.
"Feel sorry."
Pei Siyu's face remained expressionless. "Did she threaten you?"
"Um."
Mingyao felt a pang of guilt, as the subsequent research and development would require a lot of funding.
Without investors...
But she didn't regret it.
If Serena and W country's capital were to back down this time, they would become even more rampant and might even trample on their heads and do whatever they wanted.
"I have no intention of cooperating with anyone."
"Don't blame yourself."
Pei Siyu grasped her shoulders. "I expected this."
It's impossible for W and M countries to ignore this technology exhibition in Haidu.
If they want to grow bigger and stronger, they have to squeeze out Haidu's technology companies. Even though this event was organized by the management, they will stop at nothing to interfere under various pretexts.
Xu Sitian wanted to complain to Pei Siyu, but after only a few words, Pei Siyu warned her not to repeat the same mistake.
Xu Sitian had finally managed to get back into the company, but she didn't dare to provoke Pei Siyu, so she quickly stopped.
After the exhibition, Pei Siyu took Mingyao directly back to the Pei family mansion.
Mingyao was worried the whole way.
"Honey, how about we try developing a new project?"
Pei Siyu glanced at Mingyao, and their thoughts coincided.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Mingyao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Why do you think that too?"
"Serena and the companies from W and M countries will not let this go."
"Instead of waiting for them to strike, we should make other preparations."
The healing robot has indeed taken a lot of effort, but continuing to work on it will encounter all sorts of problems.
Serena's attempt to cooperate failed today, and she will surely retaliate against them even more severely in the future.
Haidu's mouthpiece and most of its technology companies have foreign capital. Trying to fight against Serena and the capital behind her is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.
