Chapter 360 Something fishy is going on; Shi Nian tests the waters.
Xiaoyu nodded.
Follow Shi Nian toward the banquet.
It was called a dinner party, but it was actually a break for everyone.
Because of Young Master Fu's obstruction, Shi Nian arrived a little late.
At this moment, the founder of the dark horse company was surrounded by a group of people.
After all, judging from the first half of today's game, the opponent brought out the most impressive items.
But for some reason, Shi Nian always felt something was off.
Shi Nian has been paying attention to this industry for a while now, and has done a lot of research before. It's understandable that companies want to develop secretly and make technological breakthroughs, but it's strange that there's not a single word or sign of it.
However, despite the doubts, the items were genuinely presented by the person in question.
Therefore, Shi Nian also wanted to learn more.
After all, it's entirely possible that her sources were flawed, and others already knew about it.
"Mr. Xu, this is my business card."
"Mr. Xu, I am... and I hope to cooperate with your company."
"Mr. Xu, what is the funding threshold you mentioned before? How much funding do you plan to raise this time?"
...
Shi Nian stood to the side and listened.
The founder could only sigh and say, "To be honest, I didn't want to reveal this, but..."
"I originally planned to talk about it later so as not to affect the second half, but since everyone is asking now, I won't keep it to myself."
Although the other party was surrounded, their voices could still be heard clearly.
"It will be held at our company in three days. I will send you all the specific requirements and other information later. I hope you will all support us."
Three days.
"Sister Nian, we only have three days. Do we need to follow up quickly?" Xiaoyu asked.
Shi Nian thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yu: "Try to catch up on the things I asked you to do before."
Xiaoyu understood, and she nodded.
Shi Nian didn't go any closer; she just watched from afar.
If the other party really only wants a large scale, then her startup might not be able to handle it.
But if that's the case, why not just go directly to the target company?
Are there any other concerns?
Shi Nian seemed to be deep in thought.
And why is Young Master Fu here today?
"Excuse me, I need to take this call." The founder of Black Horse, who was in the crowd, took his phone and headed outside.
Shi Nian thought for a moment, then decided not to follow, but instead headed towards the door.
After waiting a while, the other party finished the call and went inside.
Shi Nian came out.
"Mr. Xu," Shi Nian said with a slight smile, "can we talk?"
The other party seemed somewhat surprised.
Shi Nian took out her business card: "I am Shi Nian."
The other person took Shi Nian's business card and smiled: "Ms. Shi is very interested in our company?"
Shi Nian nodded: "Yes."
"I just wonder which family Miss Shi represents?" The other person smiled at Shi Nian and said, "The Huo family, or the Lu family?"
This is the entrance to the mountain gate.
Shi Nian smiled and said, "I represent the Shi family."
The other party paused for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "If Miss Shi is referring to Yi Shi, which just opened yesterday, then I think... perhaps our chances of cooperating are very slim."
Shi Nian had anticipated this outcome.
But she didn't seem unhappy at all; she continued to smile and look into the other person's eyes.
"Didn't Mr. Xu say that there was a financial threshold? If I meet the requirements, can I still go?" Shi Nian continued to ask.
But the other party just smiled and said some polite words: "That's right, just like I said inside, as long as you meet the threshold, if Mr. Shi wants to come, he can."
It looks very peaceful.
"Actually, I'm a little curious." Shi Nian paused slightly, then said with a smile, "President Xu, your company has made a breakthrough, why didn't you go directly to the Lu or Huo families?"
"This is an internal matter for our company, and it's not convenient for us to tell Mr. Shi," the other party replied, remaining completely transparent.
Shi Nian nodded: "I'm sorry, I offended you."
Shi Nian kept observing his expression.
The other party did not back down either, and smiled just like Shi Nian.
“If Mr. Shi has nothing else to do, I’ll go in first,” he said.
"Sorry to bother you," Shi Nian said.
The other person nodded and smiled, then quickly went inside.
After a while, Xiaoyu saw that they had finished talking, so she hurriedly ran over.
"How is it, Sister Nian?" Xiaoyu asked.
Shi Nian watched as the other person walked back into the crowd, lost in thought.
“He is very cautious,” Shi Nian said.
That's right, she came over and said those words to test the waters.
Shi Nian returned to the hall, greeted some of the people she had previously been acquainted with, and went around exchanging normal pleasantries.
Wait until you sit back down.
"What should we do now?" Xiaoyu asked.
Shi Nian withdrew her gaze.
“Let’s go back,” Shi Nian said. “Back to the company.”
"Huh?" Xiaoyu was a little confused. What was going on? The person was still there.
"Okay." Xiaoyu knew this wasn't the place to talk, so she left with Shi Nian.
Just as Shi Nian arrived at the parking lot, she saw an uninvited guest.
It's Lu Xinyi.
Shi Nian frowned slightly, wanting to walk around Lu Xinyi to the side.
"Shi Nian, what's wrong? Are you afraid to see me?" Lu Xinyi asked.
Shi Nian paused slightly, then turned around and looked at Lu Xinyi.
"Miss Lu," Shi Nian said, "I have urgent business to attend to and need to go back immediately."
"Go back and ask your few followers for help, and raise funds from them, is that it?" Lu Xinyi smiled, looking at Shi Nian sarcastically.
If Shi Nian just wanted to say something perfunctory and leave, then now...
Shi Nian took a few steps forward and came to Lu Xinyi's side.
“I don’t understand,” Shi Nian said. “Miss Lu, please explain yourself more clearly.”
Lu Xinyi sneered.
"Okay." She straightened up and looked Shi Nian in the eye. "Shi Nian, you'd better stop with that act you had before. Don't be with this guy and flirt with that guy at the same time!"
Shi Nian's expression remained unchanged: "Miss Lu, are you referring to Mr. Lin?"
“It’s not just him.” Lu Xinyi narrowed her eyes. “My brother, Huo Yanmo, Fu Jinyan, Lin Yuchen, and so on, and perhaps there are other men I don’t know about.”
“First of all, everyone knows the reason why Lu Yanzhi and I divorced,” Shi Nian said calmly. “You know it too.”
"Secondly, Huo Yanmo and I have already announced our marriage, and I haven't been flirting with anyone else."
“Fu Jinyan and Lin Yuchen have recently been getting to know other young ladies. We are just friends, and we hope Miss Lu can learn more about them.”
"at last."
Seeing the anger and defiance in Lu Xinyi's eyes, Shi Nian took out her phone and found Lin Xuan's number.
"What are you trying to do?" Lu Xinyi asked angrily.
