Chapter 483: Plan 28: Winning the Boyfriend by Relying on Green Tea

~7 min read 1,287 words

He Yuchuan really didn't expect that Jin Chen would give him such a big surprise.

Although the group is now a top-tier presence in the industry, it hasn't innovated for the past six months due to the crystal element issue, so it regards this cooperation as extremely important.

He remembered that Jin Chen's major abroad had nothing to do with this, so how could he suddenly……

He Yuchuan glanced at Mi De An and Li Cha Sen behind Jin Chen, surprise flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask on the spot.

Some accounts are better settled at home.

He smiled and rubbed Jin Chen's head, his voice much gentler than before, and his eyes brightened considerably.

"Quite a surprise, no wonder you've been so busy lately."

"Chenchen is really amazing."

The lover's unreserved praise obviously made Jin Chen very pleased; he sat down beside He Yuchuan and gestured for the people behind him to also take a seat.

Li Cha Sen gave Gu Yuanheng a meaningful look, a deep killing intent flashing, with a sense of repression.

But at that moment, all of Gu Yuanheng's attention was on the overly intimate pair of brothers; he didn't notice that glance at all. Instead, a young man beside him shrank back, lowering his head greatly.

The members of the other teams in the venue also finally understood the situation—turns out the new executive CEO of xm Information Technology is also a member of the He family!

Some people began to chatter.

"What kind of genes does the He family have? The two brothers are each more capable than the last."

"Exactly; if this trend continues, even if a mechanical part fell from the sky, it would have to bear the He surname."

"Hey hey hey, what genes, not genes—you guys don't know? Jin Chen bears the surname Jin and has no blood relation to the He family; supposedly he's the child of a comrade of the old Master He from before, just living in the He household."

"Then he wouldn't be trying to seize the family inheritance this time, would he…"

Although the speakers' voices were low, the venue was so quiet that every word reached Jin Chen's and He Yuchuan's ears.

He Yuchuan pressed his lips together, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

He couldn't bear anyone speaking ill of Jin Chen.

On the contrary, Jin Chen, the focus of the topic, remained calm, squeezed his wife's hand, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, don't be angry; I'll handle them."

Seeing the youth's spirited appearance before him, He Yuchuan naturally believed him; his bundled fingertips curled, hooking Jin Chen's palm.

"I won't pay too much attention to it."

"Brother, you're so obedient." Jin Chen tilted his head, pressing his forehead against his, a hint of mischief leaking from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't mess around."

He Yuchuan's cheeks flushed slightly; despite being in public, he sat upright, his tone though reprimanding sounded not at all intimidating.

Jin Chen was amused by his reaction again, only standing up after a few seconds.

Turning to face the venue, his smile suddenly retracted.

His gaze was overly oppressive, dark and dim in his eyes, his voice low, "The new crystal element was originally meant as a gift to the He Group; xm Information Technology will also reach long-term cooperation with the He Group."

"Our team still has two crystal elements set to launch simultaneously today; if you wish to participate in the bidding, it's better not to pry into my personal affairs."

Immediately afterward, his gaze fell on the unpleasant-looking Gu Yuanheng.

His tone remained calm, looking down at him from above, his brows and eyes as if shrouded in an impenetrable mist.

"It's just a pity that these two are destined to have no affinity with Black Forest Technology."

Among the people Black Forest Technology sent this time, besides Gu Yuanheng, there were two others who also held high positions in the company, and they didn't understand the tangled relationship between Jin Chen and Gu Yuanheng.

They merely felt that this fledgling company looked down on them, just like those foolish Huaguo companies.

"What are you saying!"

A middle-aged foreigner with a long nose stood up, his face full of anger as he looked at his watch, "What gives you the right to exclude Black Forest?"

"Huaguo language."

Jin Chen lifted his eyelids slightly, the corner of his mouth curling in a light sneer, "If you don't understand, get out."

"You!"

That foreigner couldn't tolerate such anger; he immediately stormed toward the stage, but Gu Yuanheng stopped him.

Gu Yuanheng stared intently at Jin Chen's face, as if trying to discern something from it.

After a long while he spoke, "Black Forest Technology isn't lacking this kind of crystal element; I just didn't expect you to have such capability."

"If I'm not mistaken, your major at the foreign university was music, with a minor in psychology? You just graduated and returned home—how did you become so adept at crystal element production so quickly?"

Gu Yuanheng adjusted his suit collar, his gaze then falling on his own mechanical arm, his tone especially loaded with meaning.

"Could it be that you've been secretly studying all along, waiting for the day you can inherit the He lineage?"

By saying that, he made it clear to everyone that Jin Chen did all this in order to return to the He Group and seize power.

And a group's internal strife inevitably involves a split in the board and stock fluctuations, which will inevitably affect the other companies involved in the cooperation.

Fragmented chatter once again rose in the venue.

Jin Chen merely smirked, the mockery in his peach-blossom eyes impossible to ignore, he said coolly, "It seems Mr. Gu, after failing to steal data, went to Black Forest and learned how to play both sides."

"Compared to your baseless speculation, I think everyone would rather see how you painstakingly joined the He Group, clung shamelessly to my brother's side, and still harbored foolish dreams of obtaining the data."

He snapped his fingers.

The screen originally projecting the crystal element promotional images suddenly changed.

Everyone was drawn by the bright light, looked up in unison, then gasped in disbelief.

On the screen, slide after slide displayed evidence of Gu Yuanheng's betrayal of the He Group, even including material of his fabricated data.

The more slides were shown, the worse Gu Yuanheng's complexion became, the darkness in his eyes growing more evident.

It was he who underestimated Jin Chen; he is now not easy to deal with, but rather quite troublesome.

Gradually, the few people from Black Forest Technology looked at Gu Yuanheng with strange eyes; the foreigner who had been stopped by him felt embarrassed and stormed out of the venue in anger.

But even after being exposed, Gu Yuanheng had no intention of rushing up to stop it; instead, after his initial anger, he leisurely sat in his seat and watched.

It seemed as if the person on the big screen wasn't him.

Jin Chen felt surprised, and again lifted his gaze to look.

If it were according to Gu Yuanheng's temperament earlier in Zhuang Yuan, he should by now have been annoyed and flown into a rage; how is it that in such a short time his spirit has become so steady?

Did Black Forest give him a tranquilizer?

After all the slides had finished playing, Jin Chen stood on the stage and said sarcastically, "I don't know what Mr. Gu thinks?"

Very good, not bad.

Gu Yuanheng's voice was cold and gloomy, his gaze like a poisonous snake fixed on Jin Chen, "I hope you don't regret today's decision."
