Chapter 269

After discussing with everyone, Ye Nan took the initiative to dismiss them, letting them go back and play their greatest roles according to their respective abilities.

Under the threat of the end of the world, almost everyone became serious. Not only Daken and the others, but Ellie and Angela also took the initiative to enter the ICQ company. In their words, they didn't want to be a vase.

And Ye Nan had a lot to do. Having just disbanded the gathering, he got into a car. Ahead, there was still a negotiation waiting for him.

"Brother?" Simila looked at Ye Nan hesitantly, not knowing if she should say it. After thinking for a long time, she still appeared in front of Ye Nan.

"Can I tell Sister Tianwang this news?"

Hearing this, Ye Nan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The look he gave Simila was full of inquiry. "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Ye Nan had said before that they and Tianwang were not on the same path; they were only in a cooperative relationship, so don't get too close. And now, Simila and Tianwang were already too close.

"Sister Tianwang and we have no conflict. For such a long time, you have also seen that she just guards her own territory. Why treat her like this?" Simila yelled at Ye Nan, the sadness in her heart surging uncontrollably.

"We are both intelligent life. In this world, we are so lonely. You are my brother, but why do you exclude Sister?"

Human wariness of intelligent life had long been revealed in many film and television works. Originally, she thought Ye Nan was different, but she didn't expect Ye Nan to be the same.

"I won't do things in the future. I won't work for a brother who discriminates against intelligent life." Simila said, directly quitting the job.

Hearing this, Ye Nan's face changed: "Simila, don't be willful anymore."

He actually had bitterness he couldn't speak of. Tianwang had once destroyed humanity, and it was precisely because of this reason that he had to guard against Tianwang, even if Tianwang now appeared very kind and non-threatening.

"I'm not being willful. It's your own concept that is problematic. When you figure it out, I'll come to help you again. As for now, this young lady is not doing it."

"You're threatening me?" Ye Nan's face changed again and again, finally turning livid. "Don't think that the world won't turn without you."

Ye Nan hated others threatening him the most, especially being threatened by his own family. The whole thing, he was not wrong at all. In his view, this was completely Simila being unreasonable, and she was too much, directly using a work stoppage to threaten him. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"You..." Simila pointed at Ye Nan, wanting to say something, but couldn't. Finally, she simply stomped her foot, and her whole person disappeared in front of Ye Nan.

"If you don't do it, then don't. The world won't stop turning without you?" Ye Nan murmured, immediately throwing all the unhappiness just now to the back of his mind.

He always believed he was right. Facing Tianwang, who had a bad track record, he had to remain vigilant, but Simila didn't understand, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Forget it, it's probably a child's temper; it will be fine in a few days. Empress," Ye Nan called out, wanting to call his daughter out.

The Empress had always worked diligently for him, and the gaming business of the ICQ consortium had always been controlled by the Empress. It was just that his connection with the Empress was not very close because the Empress had always been in the game world, acting as an NPC.

To be honest, when Ye Nan heard the Empress say she was acting as an NPC, he was very surprised. After repeated questioning, he found out that his daughter was the famous wandering NPC in the game.

Speaking of this wandering NPC, it was also a very interesting setting. Whether it was *World of Warcraft* or *DNF*, there was a wandering NPC. She appeared completely randomly. As long as you talked to her for a few sentences, she would give gifts. Many heaven-defying items not found in malls and games came from the wandering NPC....

"Daddy made Mommy run away. Empress doesn't like Daddy anymore." The Empress's voice came coldly, and then there was no sound.

At this, Ye Nan was almost about to explode with anger. Daughter and wife both refuted him and went on strike, which simply made him go crazy. However, he was also a stubborn person. Facing the double attack of Simila and the Empress, he never thought about surrendering or saying soft, nice words.

"If you don't do it, then don't. It's not like the Earth won't turn without you." Ye Nan muttered, and made up his mind to play a war of attrition with Simila.

Simila was very important in the ICQ company, but she was not indispensable. Without Simila, Ye Nan could still issue orders, but the efficiency would become very low.

"Sir, we're here." The Terminator stopped the car and woke Ye Nan, who was deep in thought.

Ye Nan woke up from his thoughts, immediately tidied his clothes, and got out of the car.

After Ye Nan left, two figures appeared in the car together.

"Mommy, will Daddy hate us?" The Empress looked at the departing Ye Nan, her face full of worry.

"Hmph, he will come to beg us." Simila snorted, her eyes also full of worry. In fact, she already regretted it. She felt she shouldn't have said such harsh words and shouldn't have thrown a tantrum. But the words had already been spoken; whoever spoke first to end the cold war would be the loser.

Ye Nan, who walked out of the car, was immediately greeted by a receptionist who welcomed him in. At the same time, this receptionist was very enthusiastic, and her language was full of flirtatious meaning, talking about wanting to be Ye Nan's lover one moment and wanting to have a one-night stand with Ye Nan the next.

It was just that Ye Nan knew exactly what this receptionist was thinking, so his face maintained a cold, unchanging smile.

Walking into the hotel, Ye Nan met Philip, the president of the ICQ consortium.

"I'm already clear on the information for this negotiation. Leave it to me here." Ye Nan nodded to Philip and walked in expressionlessly.

This hotel was designated by the Chinese side and was very hidden. From the outside, it looked very dilapidated, but from the inside, it was very luxurious, not a bit worse than any large hotel. It was just that this hotel had never been open to the public, which was why its reputation was not prominent.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Nan, I am Xiao Gang, the president of the Bank of China."

Flat-top, square face, a smile hanging on his face all year round—this was Xiao Gang, the president of the Bank of China.

"Hello, I am Ye Nan, the chairman of the ICQ consortium." Ye Nan reached out and shook hands with Xiao Gang, his expression still cold, or even arrogant.

Ye Nan knew some of the bad habits of Chinese officials very well and also knew what they liked to do, so Ye Nan made himself cold and arrogant, giving people the impression of being stuck-up.

As if he hadn't seen Ye Nan's arrogant expression, Xiao Gang still appeared very enthusiastic. "Come, please sit."

"No need. You should also be clear about my purpose, so please state your answer." Ye Nan said coldly, very unsympathetically.

"No rush." Xiao Gang was full of smiles. "Mr. Ye Nan's parents have always been living very well. They miss Mr. Ye Nan very much, so they asked me to tell Mr. Ye Nan something. They hope Mr. Ye Nan can go home."

Xiao Gang spoke very quickly, but every word was stated clearly.

"My parents have already gone traveling, and if they miss me, they will call." Ye Nan said expressionlessly, but a monstrous wave was stirred up in his heart.

Ye Nan was not the original owner of this body; he was just a demon who had forcibly taken over the body, and he was not very clear about the past of this body because the memories inside were only some fragments.

Xiao Gang's smile suddenly stiffened. "I'm talking about your biological parents."...

"Oh." Ye Nan said "Oh," and then stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang immediately became anxious. Ye Nan's parents were a card in his hand, a card called family affection. He believed that as long as this card was played, he could gain great benefits, and all harsh conditions would retreat. But now, his card was useless.

Xiao Gang's gaze stared fixedly at Ye Nan, wanting to find a flaw in him, but to his disappointment, he couldn't find one.

In fact, he didn't know that the Ye Nan standing in front of him was not the real Ye Nan; he was a soul from another world, and for his biological parents, he didn't have even a shred of affection.

"Actually, your parents miss you very much, and the Chairman also wants to see you. After all, you are the most outstanding person among the Chinese, and you are the pride of us Chinese." Xiao Gang played another card called "righteousness."

"Oh." Ye Nan said "Oh" again, and then there was no reaction.

He knew very well that this Xiao Gang was constantly playing cards, wanting to resonate with him. Whether he denied or admitted it, he couldn't avoid being entangled with Xiao Gang. Rather than this, it was better to deal with it coldly. He wanted to see what other cards Xiao Gang could play after playing these.

Seeing that Ye Nan was still indifferent, Xiao Gang became even more anxious. The order from above was that they didn't want to give up the bank, but they wanted to eat up the spaceship technology, so he could only start from crooked paths.

He first found Ye Nan's past, thereby finding Ye Nan's parents, and persuaded Ye Nan's parents to give him a letter.

"By the way, the letter." Xiao Gang remembered the letter, immediately took it out, and handed it to Ye Nan. "This is a letter your biological parents asked me to pass to you. I hope you can take a look."

Xiao Gang deliberately emphasized the syllables of "biological parents." In the hearts of Chinese people, family affection is a very important emotion. In the hearts of Chinese people, no other emotion can compare to family affection. He believed Ye Nan would definitely read the letter. As long as Ye Nan read the letter, he would definitely be moved to tears.

"Oh." Ye Nan took the letter Xiao Gang handed over, didn't even look at it, and put it away.

"Since the small talk is finished, let's officially start this negotiation." (... Your support is my greatest motivation.)
