199: Chapter 199: Truly Despicable
Because Zhou Jiajia had been busy helping An Qi manage the company these days, she really did not have extra ti to spend discussing love.
After two months, An Qi and her team finally developed a new technology — fraless.
“Fraless” ant that the screen had no fra.
The screen would extend to the edges of the phone, providing a strong visual impact; this was a huge selling point, she believed that once the phone was launched, it would set the market ablaze.
Besides, the phone also featured optical image stabilization, HIFI, fingerprint unlocking, etc., and the processor would be equipped with the brand new ultra-fast Snapdragon 821.
However, at the end of the day, the Antian Group was still just a company that manufactured phones; all these critical components had to be imported from other companies.
Importing ant spending a lot of money, and at this ti, they needed to find investors; because the company’s liquid assets were almost depleted.
Next, An Qi took the proposal and her team to various major cities looking for investors.
However, running around and flying about, they could not find a single investor.
Because, during this period, a rumor had spread in the business world that Antian Group was about to go bankrupt, and wouldn’t last much longer; and that was indeed the case.
So, those company executives felt there was no need to invest in a company about to go bankrupt, as they would lose all their money when the company failed.
With a sense of loss, An Qi and her team dejectedly returned to Guiyuan City.
“An Qi, sister!
Did you find any investors?” Zhou Jiajia, who was working seriously in the general manager’s office, asked anxiously.
However, seeing An Qi’s expression, she probably knew what the result was.
“Ah!” With a sigh, An Qi weakly collapsed into Zhou Jiajia’s arms, then began to cry silently.
These days, she had endured cold shoulders and humiliation to the extre; if it weren’t for her strong will, she would have jumped into the sea long ago.
“Don’t cry, it’s okay, I believe soone will eventually appreciate your proposal,” Zhou Jiajia comforted repeatedly, hoping An Qi would feel a bit better.
This period had truly been tough for An Qi.
Not only did she have to participate in technological developnt, but she also had to travel everywhere seeking investnt and businesses; now, with such an outco, if soone else were in her shoes, they probably wouldn’t accept it either.
“Who would appreciate the company in this state?” An Qi felt completely disheartened.
She had gone with hope and returned in dismay, truly defeated by reality.
Just when she felt utterly disillusioned, the phone in the office suddenly rang; it was the outside assistant calling, saying that a company wanted to invest in the project, and they had even set up a location for discussing the contract, but the condition was that Zhou Jiajia must also co along.
“Jiajia, do you know this company’s boss?” An Qi asked curiously.
“No, I’ve never even heard of this company’s na, how could I know him?” Zhou Jiajia answered.
“Then it’s strange, why does he insist on you going?” An Qi was very puzzled.
“I don’t know.
But since they are willing to invest, let’s go et them; after all, investors are hard to find,” Zhou Jiajia suggested.
“Great!
Let’s go together.” After saying this, An Qi had the assistant reply to the company.
That evening, An Qi, accompanied by Zhou Jiajia, headed for the agreed location — the King Harbor Seafood Restaurant.
Lin Yifan, acting as a bodyguard, also followed them.
Upon arriving at the door of the private room reserved by their counterparts, An Qi pushed the door open and entered.
Suddenly, a man wearing a suit about 1.8 ters tall appeared in front of them.
The man had his back to them; at that mont, his hands were folded behind his back.
He stood quietly in front of the large window of the private room, gazing at the distant night view, seeming rather proud.
Gazing at that retreating figure, Zhou Jiajia felt an inexplicable familiarity; soon, a face appeared in her mind.
Imdiately, her brows furrowed, because the face in her mind was the one she hated most in her life, the one she never wanted to see again.
“Excuse , are you the boss who invested in our Antian Group?” An Qi asked.
After a mont of silence, the mysterious and haughty man turned around to answer, “Yes!”
When his true face appeared in front of Zhou Jiajia, Zhou Jiajia imdiately beca angry and then said, “Sister An Qi!
My stomach feels upset, I’m going to the restroom first!”
“Sister Jiajia!
Weren’t you just fine a mont ago?
How did you suddenly feel uncomfortable?” An Qi curiously asked.
All she knew was that Zhou Jiajia had once dated a terrible boyfriend, but she didn’t know what this terrible ex-boyfriend looked like; therefore, she didn’t realize that the boss in front of her was Zhou Jiajia’s dreadful ex-boyfriend.
“I just don’t want to stay here.” After saying that, Zhou Jiajia turned and left.
However, just then, the aloof boss in the private room suddenly asked coldly, “Are you really so ruthless as to watch your sister’s company go bankrupt?”
This question stumped Zhou Jiajia, she knew Zhen Jian had co for her, and if she left, the investnt in An Qi’s project would definitely fall through.
“What should I do?”
On one hand were her own feelings, and on the other was the future of sister An Qi’s company, making it truly difficult for her to decide.
In the end, she chose to compromise, walked back, and asked, “What do you want?”
“I don’t want anything much, just to sit down and have a al with you,” Zhen Jian replied with a smile.
“We are here to discuss business, not to eat,” Zhou Jiajia replied angrily.
“I know, but haven’t you heard the saying that most business is done over a al?
So, what’s wrong with discussing business while eating?” Zhen Jian retorted.
“Sister Jiajia!
Who is this?” An Qi curiously asked.
Looking at Zhou Jiajia’s expression, she seed to really despise this boss.
“Zhen Jian!” Zhou Jiajia spat out the na with a face full of anger.
“Zhen Jian?
Is that the jerk who dumped you back in college?” An Qi curiously inquired.
“Yes!” Zhou Jiajia nodded in response.
“So he really looks terrible, uglier than a big bad wolf,” An Qi stared at Zhen Jian, disdainfully comnted, totally unconcerned about the business deal not going through.
If it ant sacrificing Zhou Jiajia’s dignity to secure the deal, she would rather not have it.
“You…” Zhen Jian was so infuriated he wanted to explode.
He had assud that these two won would be begging him tonight, but he hadn’t expected them to be so stubborn.
At this point, Lin Yifan, who was standing behind An Qi, could no longer hold back his laughter, “Haha!
How vile, there’s actually soone with that na in this world, seriously unbelievable!
Haha!”
Hearing this mocking laughter, Zhen Jian’s angry face beca even more enraged, then he furiously retorted, “Even a bodyguard dares to be presumptuous here, are you looking for death?”
