"Mr. Jiang?" Su Yao raised her voice as if she had heard something funny. "He's busy with all sorts of things, so it's normal for him to look at things wrongly once or twice. I don't think this plan will work. We have to overturn it and follow my direction."
She waved her hand as if she was the one who made the final decision.
The laboratory became even quieter. Several young researchers were almost unable to hold back their reluctance, but they didn't know what to say.
There was no smile on Chen Mo's face anymore. Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He took it out and looked at it, it was Jiang Tingchen.
"Mr. Jiang." Chen Mo walked to the side and answered the phone. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice. He explained the situation in a few words.
After a few minutes, the laboratory door opened and Jiang Tingchen walked in.
He glanced at Chen Mo first, nodded, and then turned to Su Yao.
Just then, Su Yao became impatient and reached out to move the stack of reports on the table. Several sheets of paper fell to the ground with a bang. A chart of key data was even knocked over by her elbow, and coffee spilled directly on it, spreading a large area.
Su Yao was also stunned, her face looked a little uncomfortable, but she didn't take it too seriously.
Jiang Tingchen had no expression on his face. He walked over, bent down, and picked up the papers scattered on the ground one by one, including the one stained with coffee.
He lowered his head to look at the blurred handwriting, then looked up at Su Yao. His voice was light, but there was a kind of force that made it impossible to refute: "Ms. Su, these data are the results of several weeks of engineers' work. If you don't know much about the technology itself, I suggest you let a professional evaluate it."
His voice was not loud, and Su Yao's pretended calmness was a little bit off.
Jiang Tingchen didn't look at her any more. He took out a new access card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Mo: "Engineer Chen, you will be in charge of the access to the laboratory from now on. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."
The word "idler" was like a slap in the face. Su Yao's face turned red and white, and she was gasping for breath, but she couldn't say a word.
Chen Mo took the card and nodded gratefully to Jiang Tingchen. The other researchers also seemed relieved, and the oppressive atmosphere in the laboratory dissipated a lot.
Su Yao clutched her handbag, turned around and left. The sound of her high heels was even more urgent than when she came, and she looked very embarrassed.
As soon as she returned to her office, Su Yao called Fu Chen, her voice full of anger and grievance: "Brother Fu Chen! What does Jiang Tingchen mean? I went to Green Light Technology with good intentions, but he embarrassed me in front of so many people and said I was an idler! That's our Fu Group's project, what right does he have!"
On the other end of the phone, Fu Chen's voice showed no emotion, and he spoke in that unhurried tone: "Green Light Technology's core technology and patents are partly in the hands of the Ning family. As the person in charge of Green Light, Jiang Tingchen has the right to decide who can see their stuff." He paused, and his words carried a hint of warning, "Su Yao, some things should be stopped in moderation."
Even if Fu Chen wanted to force Ning Nanxue to submit, he didn't want to sacrifice the Fu family immediately. What he wanted was for the Ning Group to belong to the Fu family.
Ning's patent? It's Ning Nanxue again! Su Yao's anger grew even stronger. Fu Chen's attitude was simply adding fuel to the fire.
She hung up the phone with a snap and threw it onto the table. The screen immediately cracked, revealing her face, which was a little distorted with anger.
Since Mrs. Fu spoke personally, she had nothing to say, so she could only grit her teeth and turn away.
"Sooner or later, I will force both the Fu and Ning families into a corner! You owe me this!"
As the night deepened, the city became quiet, with only a few cars passing by occasionally breaking the tranquility.
The lights were still on in Ning Nanxue's apartment. She had just finished her work and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the doorbell rang.
"Who's there at this hour?" she muttered, impatiently walking towards the door. She glanced through the peephole. It was Xu Zhiru?
Ning Nanxue opened the door, but didn't invite her in. She just looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Zhiru was wearing a dark dress, which didn't match her usual delicate appearance. She tried hard to look haggard, and she was holding a USB drive tightly in her hand, her eyes dodging.
"Ms. Ning, I know it might not be appropriate for me to come so late." Xu Zhiru lowered her voice, with a hint of smugness that she herself didn't realize, "But I have something here that you'll definitely want to see."
She handed over the USB drive.
Ning Nanxue didn't take it, but just looked at her carefully: "What's in here? Are you so kind as to give me something?"
Their cooperation has come to an end. Anyone who shows undue courtesy to others is either a traitor or a thief.
Xu Zhiru felt a little scared when she looked at her, but she still held on.
"It's...it's about Su Yao. She, she hired a private detective to follow you and Jiang Tingchen." She paused and emphasized, "This is a recording of their conversation."
Su Yao? Ning Nanxue's heart skipped a beat.
She took the USB drive, and the cool metallic feel made her mind clearer.
Xu Zhiru's action doesn't seem to be out of pure kindness at all, but rather like she wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"Why are you giving me this?" Ning Nanxue was too lazy to beat around the bush with her.
Xu Zhiru's eyes drifted for a moment, then quickly settled down and tried to smile: "After all, we are partners now. I will tell you any news as soon as possible. What's more, Su Yao doesn't seem to have set her sights on Jiang Tingchen alone like before."
"I don't care what she wants to touch. If it affects my interests, I will not let her go no matter what. It is most appropriate to give this thing to you."
This statement is absolutely flawless.
Ning Nanxue sneered in her heart, but her face showed no expression: "Really? Then thank you so much."
"Now that the things have been delivered, I'll go back. You should also go back early so that Fu Chen can find you." She didn't give Xu Zhiru a chance to say more and closed the door with a "bang".
In the living room, Ning Nanxue plugged the USB drive into the computer.
She poured herself a glass of water, held it in her hand, and calmed herself down. No matter what Xu Zhiruan's intentions were, she had to find out what was in the recording.
I pressed the play button and heard intermittent conversations coming from the computer, with a very noisy background.
A processed male voice, and Su Yao's somewhat sharp voice.
The recording was intermittent and some parts were unclear, but the words "club," "photos," "Jiang Tingchen," and "Ning Nanxue" were clear. Su Yao was indeed behind the scenes, targeting her and Jiang Tingchen.
Ning Nanxue's fingers tapped on the outer shell of the USB flash drive, and her eyes turned cold.
Su Yao's methods were even dirtier than she thought.
Where is the "club" mentioned in the recording? What does Su Yao want to do with these "photos"?
She picked up her phone and dialed Jiang Tingchen's number directly. There were some things that she had to talk to him about immediately.
Jiang Tingchen arrived soon.
