Lu Miao turned back and glanced, discovering that someone had tampered with the underground of the Jin family.
Since the person she encountered at the auction was not from the Jin family, it must be the Su family and the Jiang family behind it.
Jin Rui believed he had found support in the Su family and the Jiang family, but little did he know that what he found for the Jin family was a death sentence.
The vitality and fortune of the Jin family were rapidly being drained, just like Jin Rui. Even if she didn’t intervene, within five years, the Jin family would be completely destroyed.
Gu Ziheng, who was following closely behind her, caught up enthusiastically and said to Lu Miao, “Sis… no, Miao Miao, you can sit in my car. I ordered bluefin tuna, which was just airlifted here this afternoon.” Gu Shiyan narrowed his eyes and asked, ‘What did you call her?”
Gu Shiyan narrowed his eyes.”
“Miao Miao.” Gu Ziheng justified himself, “Since you two have already called off the engagement, what’s wrong with me calling her Miao Miao?”
“Oh, called off the engagement?”
Fu Jingshen came over to join the fun, “Miao Miao, does that mean you can consider my previous proposal now?”
Gu Shiyan can’t hide the desire to stab someone with his eyes.
Gu Shiyan glanced at him and said, “I’ll take care of my little friend, so you don’t have to worry about it, Mr. Fu.”
After saying that, he directly reached out and took the rough stone from Fu Jingshen’s hand and stuffed it into Gu Ziheng’s hand.
Then he lowered his head and looked at Lu Miao, “Do you want to eat seafood?” Lu Miao thought seriously for a moment and said, “No, I want to eat hot pot.” Since her transmigration to this side, she hadn’t had it yet, and she preferred it
over those exotic delicacies.
Rarely did she make a request to him, and Gu Shiyan smiled and said without hesitation, “Okay.”
Lu Miao turned to look at Fu Jingshen and Gu Ziheng, “Let’s go together.”
“No need, they don’t like hot pot.” Gu Shiyan opened the car door directly and sent Lu Miao into the car.
Fu Jingshen and Gu Ziheng had dumbfounded expressions.
In Zhiwei Fang, Tang Mochen was already waiting in the private room.
He came with Gu Shiyan today to deal with matters related to the technology company, but unexpectedly ran into the Jin family in a rush to find trouble.
Seeing Lu Miao, he smiled like a big bad wolf with wicked intentions, “Little sister-in-law, hello, we meet again!”
Lu Miao’s lips twitched. Is it too late for her to leave now?
Gu Shiyan warned Tang Mochen.
Tang Mochen raised his eyebrows.
He was curious to see what charm Lu Miao had that made the usually cold-hearted Gu Shiyan behave like this.
And he even made him come to a hot pot restaurant in such a down-to-earth place to reserve a table in advance.
“I heard that you lost to someone from Country R in the semi-finals of today’s competition?”
Gu Shiyan frowned and shot him a sharp glance.
Lu Miao, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all. She confidently approached and sat down, then nodded and straightforwardly admitted, “Yes.”
Gu Shiyan handed her the menu and a pen from the side, “I’ve already had someone handle the online comments. It was just one competition, so you don’t need to think too much about it.”
Lu Miao focused on the menu in her hand, selecting dishes while saying, “Thank you, I didn’t think too much about it. There were already issues with this competition. Someone leaked the questions beforehand.”
Gu Shiyan’s gaze darkened. He knew Lu Miao better than anyone else, so if she said someone leaked the questions, then it must be true.
“Do you need me to help you talk to the TV station?”
“Thank you, but I can handle it myself.” Lu Miao handed him the selected
menu.
Gu Shiyan reached out and took it. “You don’t need to thank me.”
Tang Mochen watched their interaction with great interest.
Which woman wouldn’t want to latch onto Gu Shiyan’s thigh? It was really rare to see the almighty Mr. Gu being rejected so calmly and politely.
As he spoke, the phone in Tang Mochen’s pocket rang. He couldn’t help gritting his teeth.
He said angrily,” I don’t know where this Fu Jingshen poached such a precious big shot from. His Tri-Eye Technology has only been established for a few days, but he has already registered more than a hundred patents. The secretary just reported that out of the sixty-plus patents our company tried to register, fifty of them were rejected because they overlapped with theirs. Even the new product we planned to release next month is ruined.”
From conceptualization, invention, experimentation, to the final product, creating a new item takes countless days and nights.
And now, the new product they had worked so hard to develop was preemptively registered by Fu Jingshen’s company, which had only been established for less than ten days.
Lu Miao’s hand paused as she was about to pick up some lamb meat. After a moment of contemplation, she quietly put it into the plate in front of Gu Shiyan.
Consider it as a small compensation.
Lu Miao, who took the initiative to serve him food, made Gu Shiyan, who had lived for twenty-four years, experience the rare feeling of being pleasantly surprised.
His lips couldn’t help but curl up as he used his chopsticks to pick up the food and eat it. “It tastes good. If you like it, you can come here often in the future.”
Tang Mochen rolled his eyes at him and knocked on the table. “What about the new product launch next month? The secretary said that according to the Patent Office, Tri-Eye still has at least fifty patent projects in the registration process. Who knows if they will overlap with ours again?”
Gu Shiyan looked at the vibrant hot pot in the middle of the table and spoke, “Have someone investigate the partner of Tri-Eye. If Fu Jingshen can attract such a top expert, he must have offered a significant portion of the company’s shares. Find the person and offer them better conditions to lure them away.”
Tang Mochen gave him a thumbs up and his eyes lit up. “Cutting off the roots, that’s ruthless. I’ll personally handle the investigation.”
After speaking, he took out a small square object from his pocket and pressed it on the side. The small square transformed into an ultra-thin mini notebook computer.
Lu Miao glanced at it and if she remembered correctly, she had seen something similar among the patents she gave to Fu Jingshen before.
Without drawing attention, she took out her phone from her pocket, placed it on the side away from Gu Shiyan, opened an app, and entered a password with her fingertip.
Tang Mochen, who was sitting opposite her, excitedly hacked into the company system. Before he could pull up the company information, he was suddenly attacked by a program and the computer instantly went black.
Tang Mochen couldn’t help but curse, “Have I offended a hacker den recently? Why do I keep encountering hackers everywhere?”
He was ranked among the top few in the world’s hacker rankings, but recently, his firewall was breached time and time again. If this got out, how could he continue to thrive in the hacker community?
Gu Shiyan looked at him and spoke ruthlessly, “Have you been regressing in your skills lately?”
Tang Mochen’s already wounded ego was once again deeply hurt. He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the computer screen in front of him. His hands swiftly danced across the keyboard, forcefully restarting the computer.. “Damn it! This unethical guy just caused my system to crash right off the bat! Once I break through his firewall and catch him, he’s done for!”
