The implication is that she is neither an assassin nor a benefactor, and he doesn't need to be so respectful to her; he should just treat her as a normal business partner.
Upon hearing this, Misen was taken aback, but immediately understood and nodded.
"Please follow me."
As he spoke, Misen gestured to Qi Jiu in invitation. The girl had just taken a step when she seemed to remember something and paused, turning her gaze to the suit-wearing young man who had been acting as if he were invisible. She chuckled softly.
"With Mr. Mi's effective management, I believe the Mi family will reach even greater heights."
This method of discipline is somewhat similar to Xingyue's; paying attention to details is the most important thing.
Misen looked at the young man in the suit next to him, pursed his lips, and smiled broadly. "Thank you for your kind words."
The two then walked side by side into the president's private elevator.
The young man in the suit stood there until they were out of sight, then he breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his lips.
He just... seems to have received praise from Boss Xingyue!
Inside the office, Qi Jiu subconsciously looked around at her surroundings, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
Misen has good taste. If we say there's a generation gap every three years, then given the age difference between them, there must be countless generation gaps already.
It's quite rare to find people with similar tastes these days.
"What is it you've come here to discuss?"
Looking at the girl's current attire, and seeing that she wasn't accompanied by any secretaries or high-ranking officials, coupled with his knowledge of this academic competition in the United States, he couldn't help but suspect that Qi Jiu's appearance here was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Coincidentally, that's exactly the case.
"Is the Mi family planning to cooperate with the Klin family?" the girl asked, getting straight to the point.
The shift in the topic was quite a leap, which surprised Misen for a moment, but he finally nodded. "Yes, we do have such plans. The Klin family is quite capable in internet technology, but we haven't discussed it yet. However, it should be roughly the same."
He smiled and said, "Your arrival is quite timely. The Kesen family just arrived, and you've already come."
Listening, Qi Jiu nodded. "I know, because I did it on purpose. Now, can I find out what kind of collaborative project it is?"
"...What is this?"
"Yes, I've come to steal your man." Qi Jiu's face shone with an air of righteous indignation.
This wasn't the first time something like this had been done. Misen was taken aback for a moment, but Qi Jiu's expression remained perfectly natural.
Misen: "..."
The office suddenly fell silent. Although Misen really wanted to cooperate with Xingyue, but...
"Mr. Qi, you don't even know what the cooperation is about yet. Klin's people are already waiting. Isn't it a bit too late?"
They've been in contact for a long time about this collaboration.
To his utter surprise, the person opposite him waved his hand dismissively, "The people from the Star Moon branch will be here soon. The cooperation between the Mi family and the Klin family may not be successful. It's not like we at Star Moon are doing anything underhanded. Survival of the fittest—that principle still applies today."
Isn't that how the market is now?
People will cooperate with whoever offers the best terms, because nobody wants to hinder their career advancement for the sake of saving face or a few false sentiments.
Misen: "..." That actually makes sense.
"When did you discuss things with the Klin family...?"
"One hour later."
He hadn't expected the Klin family to arrive so early, but that's how time works, and he had other things to do, so he could only ask them to wait.
"Since that's the case, please tell us. The representative from Starmoon M Country is almost here. If there are any needs, Starmoon will try its best to meet them."
With that, the girl spread her hands, and seeing the determined look in her eyes, Misen pursed his lips and began to explain his demands.
He probably never imagined in his life that he and Xingyue would get together so quickly and so suddenly.
As time passed, Qi Jiu listened to the Mi family's request and nodded, "It's not a difficult matter."
But no matter what, this contract must be signed today. It must be made clear that this person must be contacted, but also that he must be rejected.
"Chinese people love tea. I don't know if you are the same, or what kind of tea you like, so I had two servings prepared."
Looking at the cup of coffee and the cup of tea in front of her, the girl smiled. "Thank you."
She picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Is Project Alpha already planning to go public?"
Project Alpha encompasses many aspects and represents a significant breakthrough in the business world. Combining gaming with merchandise, if successful and well-received, would be a win-win situation, perhaps even a historic achievement.
However, this kind of product collaboration is the first of its kind in the business world, so there was a lot of controversy at the beginning, and many people were skeptical of the Alpha Project.
This thing hasn't even been released yet, and there's already a lot of controversy surrounding it.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that there are more people who are pessimistic than those who are optimistic.
Upon hearing this, Misen nodded, a hint of tension and excitement in his eyes. Project Alpha was a project that Misen had been preparing for many years; it could be said that in recent years, Misen had devoted most of his efforts to Project Alpha.
Others might not know, but he understood the significance of Project Alpha to Mi.
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu nodded without asking any further questions. Her composed demeanor surprised the person at the desk.
"Aren't you... going to ask anything?"
As an investor, I have the right to inquire about the Alpha Project, and even to offer suggestions on any changes. But the young woman in front of me is quite something; from the moment I became an investor, she never asked any questions.
He never even cared, which made him somewhat clueless.
Qi Jiu turned around, her face showing some confusion. "Project Alpha is the culmination of your years of hard work. You should care about it even more than I do. Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. You should be hoping this product will be outstanding."
For her, it was just a matter of losing some money. But for Misen, it wasn't that simple.
Misen: "..."
However, when the topic of Project Alpha came up, Misen suddenly thought of something that had happened not long ago.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my daughter would probably still be dying with regrets." He had been prepared to give everything he had, but he never expected that Qi Jiu would give them a chance.
Although it's said to be an investment in the Alpha Project, it's really just about getting a share of the profits; it's not a big deal at all.
