Chen Ming and Qin Qing pushed the door to the research room open and entered.

Inside the room, a man in a white coat was engrossed in his research, completely ignoring the people who had just come in.

On the table, a few energy polymer blocks were arranged neatly, and a lot of data had been recorded in a book at the side.

“Brother Lin, what are you doing?”

Chen Ming was expressionless as he spoke coldly.

Lin Lin was his university classmate.

He had originally been working at the Linyuan garbage processing plant and had just been roped in yesterday.

The man quivered and turned around in panic.

“Chen Ming, I…”

Lin Lin looked a little guilty.

“I just…”

Lin Lin was the one who had spread the news of the plant’s employees being bribed the day before. In the end, his old company was bought over in just one afternoon.

Lin Lin was suffering, and somehow thought that he would research these blocks and sell the information.

Looking at Lin Lin’s expression, Chen Ming said, “Linyuan started the rumors and engaged in unfair competition. Even if I didn’t have your information, I can still convict them, and I can still buy the plant.”

“However, what you’re doing now is in violation of our confidentiality policy, and involves my business secrets. You’re breaking the law.”

Hearing this, Lin Lin’s expression changed.

Chen Ming took a deep breath.

“You can leave. I won’t hold you responsible, but I don’t want to see you here again.”

Qin Qing’s expression was ugly.

Lin Lin was Chen Ming’s University classmate and they had a close relationship.

However, Lin Lin was too indecisive.

He felt that his old boss was acting strangely, so he sent a message to Chen Ming. However, after that, Lin Lin felt like he had done something wrong, so he wanted to redeem himself by stealing Chen Ming’s trade secrets.

This kind of person…

Qin Qing went over to look at the records and was slightly relieved to see that nothing concrete had been determined from Lin Lin’s research.

Chen Ming nodded.

Fortunately, this was the case. If not, Lin Lin could not be allowed to leave.

…

After dealing with this matter, Chen Ming and Qin Qing entered a busy period.

Orders surged, and every day, they were either processing garbage or negotiating orders.

The two of them were so busy that they had to rush every meal.

“Ding…”

His phone beeped. Chen Ming was surprised to see the message on his phone. He raised his eyebrows.

Qin Qing came over and took a look.

“You’re not going? ”

On the screen was an invitation to a business cooperation.

The other party was the city’s biggest real estate tycoon.

Chen Ming frowned and thought for a while.

“I’ll go over and check it out. Can you handle the orders here?”

Qin Qing nodded with a smile.

…

Half an hour later, in a private room of a five-star hotel in the city.

Chen Ming smiled and looked at the woman in front of him.

“Miss Wang, how do you propose we cooperate?”

A girl with fair skin, slightly upturned eyes, and wavy hair was sitting opposite him.

This was Wang Linlin, the little princess of a real estate tycoon.

Wang Linlin laughed.

“My family has land and you have the technology. Why don’t we both take what we need?”

“Your plant is developing, but lacks the space and the opportunity to expand.”

The news about the garbage processing plant had been all over the news over the past few days, so it was hard for her not to notice it.

After discussing it with her father, both of them felt that this was a good investment opportunity, which was why Wang Linlin had invited Chen Ming over for this discussion.

Chen Ming opened the proposal and read it silently. His heart sank.

Did they want to invest?

However, the profit split was too disadvantageous to him!

“There’s no need.”

As Wang Linlin looked on expectantly, Chen Ming smiled and declined.

“There’s no need to cooperate at the moment.”

After saying this, Chen Ming stood up and was about to leave.

“Wait!”

“Don’t you want to consider it?” Wang Linlin was shocked.

Chen Ming shook his head and left.

Wang Linlin was stunned as she looked at the proposal in her hand.

Why did this person refuse?

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man walked in. He was shocked to see that Wang Linlin was the only one left in the room.

“Where is he?”

Wang Linlin pouted angrily.

“Let’s go!”

Boss Wang was shocked.

“He left?”

“Why would he leave? Did you not show him the proposal I gave you?”

Hearing this, Wang Linlin frowned.

“There was something wrong with your proposal!”

“We are giving them land and money, so why do we only get a small cut of the profit?”

“I changed it.”

After hearing Wang Linlin’s explanation, Boss Wang was so shocked that he almost vomited blood.

This was a new source of energy they were talking about!

If it was made public, there would be plenty of people lining up to get a piece of the pie.

It would already be profitable if they managed to get a small cut of the profits!

If they were not in the same city, the Wang family would not have been able to seize the initiative to propose a business cooperation before everyone else!

They were about to strike it rich, but this prodigal girl had actually ruined the cooperation!

Boss Wang suppressed the anger in his heart.

“You’ve ruined it!”

Wang Linlin looked at her father incredulously.

“No way! We’re investing land and money, so what’s wrong with taking a larger cut of the profits?”

“The other party is clearly being too greedy!”

Boss Wang lowered his head and looked at the revised proposal, feeling regretful.

He should not have allowed his daughter to handle this matter!

She had been spoiled like a little princess since she was young and did not know how to value these things.

“Do you know what this technology represents?”

Boss Wang suppressed his anger.

“With this technology in his hands, even the state will come knocking at his door!”

“We were already lucky that we managed to get a headstart, but you’ve driven him away instead!”

“How am I supposed to discuss the cooperation with him now?”

Wang Linlin looked at Boss Wang’s expression and finally came back to her senses. She sat down in a daze.

It seemed like she had really done something wrong!

Boss Wang was furious and said to his assistant, “Quickly, go and get the previous proposal!”

Then, Boss Wang looked at Wang Linlin and said, “Let’s go!”

“We’ll go there and apologize!”

Sensing his anger, Wang Linlin picked up her handbag and followed him.

…

The black luxury car followed the seven-seater van and stopped at the entrance of the plant.

Before Boss Wang could get out of the car, Chen Ming had already entered the office.

In the office, Qin Qing was leaning on her chair and checking the orders one by one.

Seeing Chen Ming come in, Qin Qing raised her eyebrows.

“How did it go?”

The other party was quite well-off, so cooperation with them would not be a bad thing.

Chen Ming sighed.

“The conditions were too harsh. Let’s wait a little longer!”

With this technology in hand, there would be no lack of opportunities. They just had to bide their time.

Then, Boss Wang knocked on the door and entered without waiting for a response.

“You are?” Chen Ming stood up and asked in surprise.

Eh? Wang Linlin was following him? In that case, this person was…

Qin Qing’s eyes swept over Wang Linlin and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Boss Wang smiled.

“My daughter was insensible and offended Mr. Chen just now.”

“I honestly value this cooperation opportunity very much. This is the original proposal. Mr. Chen, please take a look first. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can amend it immediately.”

Chen Ming raised his eyebrows.

He and Qin Qing looked at each other and read through the proposal.

Compared to the previous proposal, the terms on this one were much more favorable.
