She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Therefore, Zhao Quanying's silence now may not be due to fear of me; perhaps she has other plans.

If Lin Qingran goes there rashly, who knows what she will face.

Zhao Quanying may have wanted to die back then to vent her anger.

But if he still wants to die now, it must be to cover up his past conspiracy.

“As long as we remain calm and collected, Zhao Quanying won’t be able to figure out our movements,” Lin Qingran said.

"So even if he were to make a move, it wouldn't be now."

She slowly turned her head. "This matter can only be investigated from a different angle. However, I always feel that the death of Zhao Quanying's wife back then was too coincidental. Go and investigate Zhao Quanying's wife's side of the matter. I think if we talk to the people on their side, we might be able to find another way out."

Xiao Zhou nodded in agreement, "I'll arrange it right away. By the way, President Jiang, Fu Xiuheng and Li An have discussed it several times, but there's still no result. Today is the last day of negotiations. If they can't reach an agreement, Fu Xiuheng will have to go back."

Lin Qingran scoffed, "Fu Xiuheng wants to get rid of that mess, but he still wants to be aloof and refuse to bow his head?"

Xiao Zhou gave a helpless look. "It's hard for me to comment on President Fu."

If I had to describe him, I'd say he's mentally ill.

At this very moment, the atmosphere in the reception room of Shenghai Group was extremely tense.

Li An, who represented Lin Qingran, looked extremely unwell and spoke in a very serious tone.

"President Fu, I think I made it very clear to you a few days ago. People leave their mark, geese leave their calls. Any project handled by our Sheng Hai Group must be named after Sheng Hai Group. Even in cooperation, we cannot remain behind the scenes. This is a rule that our Sheng Hai Group has established since its inception. If President Fu continues to be stubborn, I think we will not be able to reach a cooperation agreement."

Fu Xiuheng remained calm and unperturbed by Li An's words, and instead spoke.

"Although Shenghai Group has successfully raised funds and gone public, in fact, most of its business still revolves around games. I have to admit that the game industry has a promising future in recent years, and Shenghai Group has certainly reaped considerable benefits over the years. But if it only sticks to these things and does not innovate, it will fall behind sooner or later."

Fu Xiuheng smiled knowingly as he looked at Li An.

"Games require relentless and endless creativity. I wonder how long the Shanghai Group's project team can hold out? If Chairman Li hopes that Shenghai Group can continue to develop, perhaps he should reconsider my suggestion."

Ang Lee was so angry that his face turned ashen. He thought to himself that he had never seen such a shameless person.

Fu Xiuheng was indeed here to negotiate, but Li An had never met a business owner as arrogant and disdainful of everyone as him before.

Fu Xiuheng actually demanded that Shenghai Group act as the contractor and work with their technology department to develop a brand-new game specifically for the Fu Group, and that it not be similar to any existing games on the market.

Fu Xiuheng believed he had shown sincerity and was willing to pay a generous reward, but their technology was essentially sold to the Fu Group. Not only that, they even had to personally teach the Fu Group's technical staff to ensure that the Fu Group could fix any problems that arose after the game was released.

To be precise, it means a complete buyout.

Moreover, judging from Fu Xiuheng's attitude, they only want to cooperate with Shenghai Group this time.

Anyone with a brain would not accept Fu Xiuheng's request.

Technologies have commonalities, but they also have innovations.

If this cooperation is carried out according to Fu Xiuheng's requirements, it would be equivalent to selling Sheng Hai Group's core technology to Fu Xiuheng.

Given the true colors of the Fu Group, they release a game one minute and then use the technology they learned from them to attack the Sheng Hai Group the next.

Even games produced by Shenghai Group in the future will have to live in the shadow of Fu Group.

His behavior is utterly shameless, like eating from a bowl and then cursing the cook – it's utterly brazen!

Li An was furious, but out of self-restraint, he didn't unleash a torrent of abuse on Fu Xiuheng.

He said coldly, "Although President Fu's offer is generous, from the perspective of a single collaboration, our Sheng Hai Group has indeed gained a great deal. But in the long run, President Fu has really achieved great things with little money. It is we who cannot proceed with this collaboration. If President Fu is truly sincere, we can accept the idea of ​​the two companies jointly producing a game."

Fu Xiuheng smiled, "Since Chairman Li has said so, there's no need for me to keep you in suspense any longer. Although Shenghai Group will have to put in a lot of effort for this cooperation, the returns that Fu's Group can provide are definitely not just the numbers on paper."

Li An squinted at Fu Xiuheng, "Could it be that President Fu would completely tie himself to Shenghai Group just because he got this benefit? It's not like President Fu would give Shenghai Group a share of every project he takes on in the future."

Fu Xiuheng shook his head. "Of course not, but the Fu Group can provide you with a lot of resources, which will be beneficial for your future foray into other industries. Chairman Li is probably aware of the Fu Group's position in Kyoto, so you might as well reconsider."

Ang Lee was so angry at Fu Xiuheng that he actually laughed.

He has such a big mouth.

Ang Lee acknowledged that the Fu Group holds a very important position not only in Kyoto, but also throughout the country and even overseas.

Regardless of the breadth of their business, the Fu Group controls the largest social media platform in China. As long as the Fu Group doesn't cross any red lines, they can be guaranteed a life of wealth and luxury.

However, it was wrong of Fu Xiuheng to use his position to coerce others.

How could he know that Sheng Hai Group could only thrive by cooperating with Fu's Group?

"It seems we can't continue this discussion, Mr. Fu, please leave."

Fu Xiuheng nodded, stood up, and said meaningfully to Li An.

"Well, that's a real shame. But since we've met, let's consider ourselves friends. If Shenghai Group needs anything in the future, they can always come to me. I just hope that when Chairman Li sees me then, he'll still be smiling."

Ang Lee turned his head away, refusing to look at Fu Xiuheng.

He was afraid that if he said a few more words to Fu Xiuheng, he would lose control and punch him, leaving him covered in bruises.

Fu Xiuheng smiled, his eyes full of indifference, and turned to leave.

But before he could take a step, the door to the reception room was pushed open first.
