Chapter 597: Targeting

The moment she saw them, Ye Qiuyu’s expression turned cold; she averted her gaze as if they weren’t there and spoke with Lin Wu and the others.

At that moment, Lian Ningqi and her brother arrived with their company’s team.

They spotted Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen first.

Lian Ningyu and Feng Tingshen had known each other for a long time, though they rarely interacted, and he hadn’t seen Feng Tingshen in many years.

He smiled and greeted Feng Tingshen: “Director Feng, it’s been a long time.”

Feng Tingshen: “So it’s Director Lian. Long time no see.”

After greeting Feng Tingshen, his gaze landed on Lin Wu, a flicker of astonishment passing through his eyes.

This was his first time seeing Lin Wu in person.

He politely greeted her: “You must be Miss Lin. Hello.”

Lin Wu shook his hand: “Hello.”

At that moment, someone eagerly approached Yu Moxun: “Director Yu, so you’re here! I’ve been looking all over for you.”

Hearing the commotion, Lian Ningyu turned toward the sound and indeed saw Yu Moxun.

He had no prior connection with Yu Moxun, but he had seen photos of Yu Moxun and Rong Ci online, so he recognized him at once.

Over the past few months, Lian Ningyu had gradually deepened his understanding of the AI field and now clearly understood what Changmo meant within the industry.

Therefore, they absolutely could not truly alienate Yu Moxun and Rong Ci.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Feng Tingshen, he said: “I’ll go greet Director Yu. Director Feng, shall we talk later?”

Feng Tingshen: “By all means.”

Lian Ningyu nodded and told Lian Ningqi: “Ningqi, let’s go.”

They had found a solution to their company’s problem, but the cost would be much higher and the progress significantly delayed.

Lian Ningqi knew he wanted to mend ties with Yu Moxun and Rong Ci—but

she glanced toward Yu Moxun and Rong Ci and said coldly: “Brother, don’t you think I’ve already lowered myself enough? Even if I went over and bowed even lower, I doubt they’d reconsider cooperating with us just because of my attitude. If that’s the case, why should I go? If you want to go, go yourself.”

Saying this, she took Lin Wu’s hand and smiled: “Let’s go over there.”

Lian Ningyu frowned but said nothing, walking toward Yu Moxun with his secretary.

Among the technicians Lian Ningqi brought along was one of Ye Qiuyu’s classmates.

They had already exchanged greetings earlier; now, watching Lian Ningqi and Lin Wu’s backs, Ye Qiuyu recalled what Lian Ningqi had said about refusing to greet Yu Moxun and Rong Ci, and couldn’t help asking his classmate: “What’s going on between your Director Lian and Director Yu of Changmo? Why does it seem like your Director Lian really dislikes Director Yu and the others from Changmo? Is there some past grievance between them?”

“I heard there really is some past grievance between your Director Lian and Director Rong of Changmo.”

“But Changmo’s refusal to cooperate with us doesn’t seem tied to that—Director Rong of Changmo seems to be targeting Miss Lin, Director Feng’s girlfriend.”

Ye Qiuyu’s expression turned icy.

Again her.

He asked: “What do you mean?”

“It means Changmo was originally willing to cooperate with us, but after learning your Director Lian was close to that Miss Lin, Director Rong changed his mind—no matter how humbly your Director Lian begged, he refused to agree to cooperation, so we ultimately failed to partner with Changmo. Our boss is now beside himself.”
