Chapter 92 is a joke
Chen Jingyang paused, turned around abruptly, and his cold, sharp gaze was like a gleaming sword: "I'm warning you, don't even think about hitting on him, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Li Jianren shrugged and gestured with his chin, looking nonchalant: "What, you dare to touch me? You haven't forgotten, have you? I'm Zenti's chief chip architect now. Without me, your custom chip is just a blueprint!"
He feigned curiosity: "Could it be that $1.5 billion in procurement and hundreds of billions of dollars in expected revenue are not worth as much as that dog?"
Chen Jingyang's face was grim, not wanting to get entangled with him any longer, his threat strong: "Zenti has more than just you as a chip architect. This collaboration will bring Zenti no less benefit than Tanzhi. You'd better remember what I just said. If you don't believe me, then go ahead and try!"
Li Jianren chuckled, seemingly ignoring Chen Jingyang's threat: "What? You have so little faith in your dog? But I think he's extraordinary! Didn't you see the way he looked at you just now? He seemed to want to replace you!"
Chen Jingyang gritted his teeth, squinted at him, and didn't say anything.
Li Jianren smiled smugly, his eyes sharp: "Actually, I sometimes really envy you. Why are you so lucky? You always manage to find such excellent dogs, so beautiful and clean, that you can't help but want to snatch them away and keep them for yourself!"
Chen Jingyang scoffed and coldly mocked, "You really can't change your ways. Four years have passed, and you still only know how to steal food from other people's mouths!"
Li Jianren chuckled nonchalantly, his five fingers slowly closing: "So what? As long as I can hold it in my own hands, what do you care if I robbed or stole it! Besides, I just like taking your things!"
He bared his fangs like a hungry wolf, revealing his ferocity: "If you hadn't stolen my honor first, why would I have bothered stealing your dog!"
Chen Jingyang raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You think you can beat me by resorting to my dog? You're really something! Why didn't you say so sooner? It's just a global championship, right? If I had known you cared about it so much, I would have just given it to you!"
The International Programming Contest, organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), is a highly prestigious competition in the field of computer science and enjoys a very high level of recognition within the industry.
Li Jianren had been preparing diligently for two years, ready to make a name for himself in his junior year. Unexpectedly, Chen Jingyang emerged out of nowhere, winning first place in the regional competition as a freshman.
Fortunately, the school had a special quota, which allowed Li Jianren to compete against Chen Jingyang again in the finals. As expected, he was the runner-up again.
If it weren't for Chen Jingyang, the person who shone brightly in the finals would have been him!
After that, Li Jianren and Chen Jingyang became rivals. Whether on or off campus, Li Jianren competed with Chen Jingyang in every way, but unfortunately, he lost every time!
However, the two became friends after their initial conflict, but contrary to what John Cramer said, they were not good friends; on the contrary, they were mortal enemies!
Later, at a gathering, he learned by chance that Chen Jingyang owned a dog, and his attention turned to the person named Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi was on the eve of graduation and did not want to return to China, but Chen Jingyang disagreed. Li Jianren seized the opportunity and helped Jiang Xi get a green card to stay there, on the condition that Jiang Xi serve him for a day.
Jiangxi did as instructed.
Upon learning this, Chen Jingyang flew into a rage and immediately abandoned Jiang Xi, even though Jiang Xi knelt at his door for three days and three nights without yielding.
Jiang Xi still harbored fantasies about Chen Jingyang and would appear before him from time to time. However, Chen Jingyang returned to China decisively before finishing his sophomore year, completely extinguishing Jiang Xi's hopes.
I later heard that Jiang Xi suffered from depression and committed suicide less than a year after returning to China.
Police discovered that he had sent an email to an account before his death, but it was bounced back because the email address had been deactivated a year earlier.
That was the email address Chen Jingyang used to use.
Chen Jingyang learned about this from others and was a little surprised, but that was all. Whether Jiang Xi was alive or dead made no difference to him.
But now, when he sees Lee Kin Yan, especially when Lee Kin Yan deliberately brings up old matters, he still feels very uncomfortable.
Since it was just the two of them in the bathroom, Chen Jingyang stopped holding back and started talking like a machine gun, spraying out a string of bullets, aiming specifically at Li Jianren's sore spots, wanting to disgust whoever he wanted to be!
After being rebuffed, Li Jianren finally dropped his smile, snorted coldly, and walked back to the private room first.
Chen Jingyang's gaze narrowed slightly, many thoughts flashing through his mind. After a few seconds, he walked towards the room.
Li Jianren sat down, a sinister glint in his eyes. He slowly poured himself a glass of wine, and when Chen Jingyang came in, he picked up his glass and walked to Zhang Pengfei's side.
Zhang Pengfei assumed he was looking for Guo Longfei, the technical director sitting next to him, so he sat up straight and focused on eating.
Li Jianren, who plays "Lawyer Zhang," bows and greets Zhang Pengfei.
Zhang Pengfei was startled and quickly stood up: "Engineer Li, what's the matter?"
Li Jianren smiled and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to you. I heard that our General Manager Chen beat up the director because of you. I hope that during the negotiations tomorrow, you can put in a good word for us and persuade General Manager Chen to go easy on us!"
Upon hearing this, the people on Tanzhi's side were all taken aback!
No one witnessed Chen Jingyang assaulting someone; it's one thing for rumors to circulate within the company, but how did Li Jianren, who is overseas, find out?!
If Lee Kin-yan can hear even such unsubstantiated gossip, what about other news from Tanzhi?
What about the confidential information regarding the collaboration?!
Is there a mole within the company?!
Furthermore, what was the meaning behind Li Jianren toasting Zhang Pengfei separately?
On Tanzhi's side, with Chen Jingyang above and various directors below, Li Jianren toasted a mere legal assistant and said those things. Wasn't this a blatant slap in the face to Chen Jingyang?!
The negotiations hadn't even started, but the smell of gunpowder already filled everyone's nostrils!
With everyone's eyes shining on him like spotlights, Zhang Pengfei felt like he was being pricked by needles!
Attorney Zhou was worried for him. What should he do?
Drinking this wine is like slapping your boss in the face, while not drinking it is like slapping the other person in the face. It seems like you can't slap anyone in the face, no matter whose face you're slapping.
Zhang Pengfei paused for a second, then smiled broadly: "Engineer Li, you're really funny. In that case, let me tell you a joke too. Our General Manager Chen is very strict and doesn't allow me to drink. You should toast him instead."
Chen Jingyang chuckled.
He smiled, and everyone else at the table laughed too.
Regardless of whether what Lee Kin-yan said was a joke or not, now he, including what he said, is a joke!
