"What do you mean it's not working?" Qin Fen asked Quan Lei. "Our plan is working fine. We have already started doing the research, then we can even invite Jennie, once we launch our new AI system that can be used to gather intelligence. Isn't that what you want?"
Quan Lei did not answer, instead, he silently gritted his jaws in annoyance. Did Jennie know that he was behind this? Then, why was she still ignoring the fact that Angler Tech was creating waves in the tech industry? Was she deliberately trying to ignore Angler Tech because she knew that he was behind all of this?
"I want you to send our lawyers and tell CEO Kim that I would like to see her, otherwise, we will publicize the fact that they have stolen our technology."
"Lei Lei... why don't you just let me see her... After all, it's still a secret that you are our new CEO?" Qin Fen asked.. Angler Tech was previously owned by the Qin Family. But for some reason, her father gave the management to Quan Lei after he had resigned.
"No... I will do it," he insisted. To be honest, this was his only way of talking to her, without Lisa being around. Quan Lei wanted to be close to Jennie, yet till now, he hadn't even thought of a solid plan to realize his wishes. Jennie was avoiding him like a plague. She wouldn't even glance at him.
Sometimes, Quan Lei even questioned what did he lack compared to Lisa. He might not be as good looking as the latter, but he was also proficient and smart. Just like Lisa, Quan Lei also came from a big and influential family. So, how come she wouldn't even look at him? Was he really that unpleasing to her eyes? Or could it be that Jennie was doing that because she had already had Lisa?
Did it mean that she would look at him if he eliminated Lisa? Quan Lei shook his head at his thoughts. Eliminating Lisa Manoban? Seemed like a good idea... if only he was allowed to do that.
"Lei Lei... Jennie is not someone, who will agree to something like that... why don't you let me go to see her first? I can ask her to meet the CEO, considering the drone project." Although Qin Fen was saying all this coyly, she was inwardly in rage. That Jennie insulted her when she was there. She couldn't wait to show off and let her know that her father's company was as capable as Wang Empire.
She watched her fiance nodded, before smiling at him. Quan Lei was being really supportive of her actions and pampered her like a queen. Just how lucky was she to find someone like him?
Meanwhile, Jennie was ignoring all the online claims about the possible fall of Wang Empire. Her focus was with 'Colossus'. Also, Jennie wanted to use this opportunity to test Long Die. If this news went public or for some reason reached the ears of Angler Tech, then she could only suspect Long Die, being a spy. Moreover, this project was even more demanding, than her previous ones.
"You really should take some rest," she heard Long Die mutter beside her. She must have seen how Jennie massaged her nape in exhaustion.
"Thank you... but I was just a little exhausted," she answered, while cursing Lisa silently. That man was becoming more and more experimental by every passing day. It was as if he had been purposely doing that, so she could not stay up too late doing her projects.
Jennie was unaware that she was already blushing while thinking about her and Lisa's activity the previous night. Of course, this did not go unnoticed by Long Die.
"CEO Kim, you really should take care of yourself. I... I mean.. without you Wang Empire is also nothing," she blurted out before she lowered her head.
Seeing this reaction only made Jennie giggle. Long Die was really like this. She always said nice things, then got embarrassed after. she found this side of her cute and for some reason warm. However, she also did not miss the sadness in Long Die's eyes. She couldn't help but wonder if that was because Jennie reminded her about her own daughter.
Not that Jennie minded. In fact, she had actually quite liked it when Long Die awkwardly treated her as if she was her daughter.
"By the way... um... I cooked something for you. .. but I um... I'm not sure if..."
"What is it?" she asked.
"Beef with broccoli... I know its umm... really simple... but um... nevermind."
"What are you waiting for? Give it to me," she smiled at her. In response, Long Die fetched a lunchbox from her backpack and gave it to Jennie.
Jennie immediately opened the lunchbox and was surprised to be assaulted by such delicious smell. "I um.. my fiance wants my bodyguard to try every food that I eat before I consume them... I hope you don't mind," she said. After the fire caused by Li Qiang, Lisa made sure to add this as a security measure. He feared that someone would try to poison Jennie.
"Oh... sure... no problem." Long Die smiled, clapping her hands towards her son-in-law. Too bad she still hadn't had the chance to meet him.
Long Die was very happy to know that Lisa cared about Jennie that much. Aside from that, she could clearly see the happiness in Jennie's eyes while thinking about him. Just the fact that her daughter was happy, made Long Die be happy as well. At least, she found someone reliable. Someone who truly loved her.... unlike her mother.
