Chapter 68 What did you do to Yu Yan?
Yu Yan never used to hang up on anyone's phone casually; her upbringing forbade her from doing so.
But now, she's hanging up on Jing Heng more and more smoothly.
And they feel at ease and without any remorse.
Shao Muyan said, "He must have seen the news and came here specifically to congratulate you."
"Yes, that's normal."
Yu Yan said calmly, "There is never a shortage of people who add flowers to brocade, but those who offer charcoal in the snow are the ones who should be thanked the most."
She looked at Shao Muyan and said, "Uncle Yan, I know who has helped me the most."
Shao Muyan met her eyes.
He thought to himself: Don't thank me, I don't need your gratitude.
Just as I was about to say something, Shao Min and Hua Zhidao arrived.
The first word that popped into Yu Yan's mind when she saw Huazhidao was "gentleman." A gentleman of noble character, refined and polished.
Like jade, it is cool and smooth.
No wonder she could win over Sister Shao Min.
"Professor Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"President Hua," Yu Yan waved her hand gracefully, "Please have a seat."
Today, Hua Zhidao and Yu Yan mainly discussed cooperation, with Shao Min and Shao Muyan, siblings, accompanying them. However, Huaxiang Technology and the Shao Group have been cooperating for many years. When Hua Zhidao and several university classmates founded Huaxiang Technology, Shao Min and Shao Muyan invested a lot and were considered two of the original shareholders of Huaxiang Technology. It can be seen that Hua Zhidao and Shao Muyan are very familiar with each other, and they speak very casually.
However, they are all people with high emotional intelligence and are considerate. Yu Yan does not feel "besieged" at all. On the contrary, Shao Min and Shao Muyan are closer to her.
Yu Yan knows that anyone who makes others feel comfortable communicating with you is actually being accommodating to you.
She enjoys being around people with high emotional intelligence; it's comfortable and effortless.
Hua Zhidao is a first-generation entrepreneur. When Yu Yan conducted a background check, she discovered that he came from a poor family and grew up in a single-parent household. His mother supported the family by doing sewing work. However, he did not have any sense of inferiority or arrogance. On the contrary, he was neither humble nor overbearing. He had a low-key and modest demeanor that is rare among entrepreneurs today, and his speech was slow and clear.
Such people are calm and collected; they are born to accomplish great things.
What's most commendable is that he didn't choose to take the shortcut of marriage when his career was at its most difficult.
Knowing that Shao Min liked him, he did not try to take advantage of the Shao family's influence, but instead clearly rejected Shao Min's feelings.
For this reason alone, Yu Yan deserves respect.
Of course, in addition to character, a person's strength is also important for cooperation.
After a brief exchange, Yu Yan and Hua Zhidao quickly got to the point, discussing the newly completed research lab project and Huaxiang Technology's development direction for the next few years.
Shao Muyan's phone vibrated, and he excused himself to go out and answer the call.
Shao Min works in intellectual property and is closely connected to and quite knowledgeable about academic and research circles. However, she is at most a semi-expert, and as Hua Zhidao and Yu Yan's conversation went deeper and deeper, she couldn't understand it anymore.
But she felt that they were radiating light.
Yu Yan's demeanor when talking about her major was slightly different from her usual self. In Shao Min's eyes, Yu Yan was more like the girl next door. Perhaps because she had watched Yu Yan grow up, she would unconsciously adopt the perspective of an older sister. At this moment, there was a feeling of "my little sister has grown up." When Yu Yan talked about her research project, it was as if she was talking about her own child, with a face full of pride.
Her big, bright eyes were so beautiful and captivating that it was impossible to look away.
Yu Yan was indeed quite excited.
Because Huazhidao knew more than she imagined, it was clear that he had come well-prepared. When discussing cooperation with her, he focused on how to put the chip into production and development for the project itself, rather than just talking about money.
Everyone starts a business to make money, but how to make that money, and whether you have the vision and patience for long-term development, are very important.

Outside the private room, Shao Muyan answered Xiang Jingheng's call.
Xiang Jingheng's slightly tense voice came: "Shao Muyan, what did you do to Yu Yan?"
Now they don't even call him Third Master anymore, they just call him by his full name.
Shao Muyan thought to himself: I've really given you too much credit.
He didn't dwell on the form of address, simply saying, "Yu Yan is fine. But what about you? What's wrong now?"
"I don't believe it!" Xiang Jingheng frowned. "Did you get Yu Yan drunk? She can't hold her liquor. You got her drunk, and then you were sober enough to do bad things, right?"
Shao Muyan asked directly, "Xiang Jingheng, are you sick?"
"..."
Xiang Jingheng sneered, "What, are you getting angry because I hit the nail on the head?"
"Think what you want."
Shao Muyan said coldly, "Yu Yan is no one to you, and you have no right to question me."
After hanging up the phone, Shao Muyan blocked the other party without hesitation.
Xiang Jingheng had already gotten into the car, and when the driver asked him where he was going, he had no idea.
Because he didn't know where Yu Yan was!
Where will Shao Muyan take Yu Yan? What if Yu Yan is really in danger?
He knew very well, better than anyone else, that he had no right to interfere in Yu Yan's affairs. Yu Yan was single and free; who she wanted to be with or sleep with was none of his business.
But why is it not related?
Is it because they got divorced?
Can't he regret it now?
He wants to salvage the relationship, is that not allowed?
Xiang Jingheng almost frantically tried to call Shao Muyan again, but this time he couldn't get through no matter how hard he tried.
He tried calling Yu Yan, but the call didn't go through either.
Xiang Jingheng thought for a moment and said to the driver, "Go to school."
"Mr. Xiang, are we going to the young master's school?" the driver asked.
Xiang Jingheng: "Yes."

Yu Yan did have a small drink.
She doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance, but drinking a little alcohol relaxes her brain a lot, and once she relaxes, she dares to say anything.
During the meeting, Yu Yan raised various requirements for cooperation. Usually, when technology companies and research labs cooperate, the company is the client and the research lab is the service provider who is subject to being reassigned at any time. However, Yu Yan wanted to be the client.
She needed Huaxiang Technology to cooperate with their research lab in developing chips, and her requirements were numerous, with some terms even being somewhat harsh for a company accustomed to being the client.
Shao Min couldn't help but feel a little worried for Hua Zhidao, and secretly raised an eyebrow at Shao Muyan. She hadn't expected Yu Yan to be so sharp in negotiations.
He has the demeanor of a great general.
Shao Muyan, however, thought it was cool. If it were him, he would probably find the research more troublesome.
Hua Zhidao remained calm throughout, only asking more detailed questions when Yu Yan made certain requests; otherwise, he mostly nodded and said "okay."
Shao Min was surprised. After they finished talking, she looked at Hua Zhidao and said, "When did you become so easy to talk to? If you can't do something, you should say so in advance. Don't force yourself, so as to avoid trouble when we cooperate."
"All of these can be done."
Hua Zhidao looked at Yu Yan and said, "I know what kind of responsibility WD shoulders upon returning to China. Huaxiang Technology is willing to cooperate and win this technological battle. We are technically inclined, so who else but us can do it?"
Yu Yan smiled. Very good, she had chosen a very strong ally for herself.
"I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Hua."
"It's a pleasure working with you, Professor Yu."
Both being efficient people, after agreeing on a time for signing the contract, Shao Min and Hua Zhidao headed to their next dinner party.
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan, having a rare moment of free time, went to the shopping mall next door for a stroll.
When the phone rang again, Yu Yan was startled.
She knew that the phone number belonged to Xiang Chu.
