Chapter 166 The Fallen Pocket Watch
"Xiao Shu!"
Rong Shu came to her senses.
Looking back.
Then they saw Qi Yanchao getting out of the car.
Su Qingzhi, who was about to enter the hall, stopped abruptly upon hearing the call and turned to look back.
Upon seeing Su Qingzhi, Qi Yanchao stepped forward and said to Rong Shu, "Go and say hello."
Since we've run into each other, we should definitely greet them.
The two walked up to Su Qingzhi,
Qi Yanchao was the first to extend his hand and greet him, "President Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Su Qingzhi extended her hand to shake hands with Qi Yanchao and said calmly, "Nice to meet you."
Their arrival seemed to elicit no surprise on Su Qingzhi's calm and handsome face.
The two sides didn't talk much.
They entered the company lobby one after the other.
Rong Shu and Qi Yanchao waited in the lobby for the person who would take them upstairs.
Rong Shu looked in the direction Su Qingzhi left and said, "It seems that Su Qingzhi already knows about Rong En and An Hongjie's cooperation."
Qi Yanchao said, "They must have known for a long time. Anyway, neither the An family nor Su Qingzhi will back down. They haven't completely broken off relations yet, but they're only separated by a thin veil. It's about time."
Rong Shu said, "Let's see who can tear down this veil."
"yes."
A few minutes later.
An Hongjie's assistant came downstairs to greet the two.
"Mr. Qi, Ms. Evelynn, you've been waiting for a while. This way, please."
Rong Shu and Qi Yanchao followed their assistant upstairs to An Hongjie's office.
An Hongjie warmly shook hands with the two and greeted them.
"Please have a seat here, both of you."
After a few brief pleasantries, the two sides got straight to the point.
An Hongjie showed Qi Yanchao a cooperation agreement.
The main focus is on major investment projects in Huihu District, covering fields such as the online new economy, creative design, and artificial intelligence.
Of course, MK Group is not the only company that has signed contracts.
An Hongjie's investments are mainly in infrastructure and industrial projects, with a total investment of up to 15 billion yuan.
MK Group's subsidiary, Techtronic Industries, signed a project, mainly focusing on the design of artificial intelligence. Techtronic Industries is now completely under Su Qingzhi's control.
Although they all belong to the MK Group, they have long been divided into different camps, each vying for supremacy.
Artificial intelligence has a huge future development prospect, but Su Qingzhi has taken the lead and successfully acquired Teng Hui this year.
Just that.
Su Qingzhi definitely holds the biggest advantage.
"Boheng has a very strong development momentum. They have already cooperated with the government and military industries on their core technologies. I have received information that Su Qingzhi wants to use Teng Hui to acquire Boheng. I have already reminded President Jiang about this."
An Hongjie knew that Rong En had invested in Boheng. One of his purposes in choosing to cooperate with Rong En was to get in touch with Boheng so that he could get a share of the pie in this field, or at least not be completely suppressed by Su Qingzhi in this area.
Su Qingzhi must have anticipated An Hongjie's move, so he planned ahead to first acquire Teng Hui and then target Boheng.
Such meticulous and calculating thinking is truly terrifying.
He truly is someone who can be friends with Sheng Tingchen.
In any case, neither Su Qingzhi nor An Hongjie are easy to deal with.
Boheng was merely one of the pawns in their game.
Therefore, Boheng cannot be acquired, nor can it have any cooperation with Anjia.
Qi Yanchao temporarily avoided discussing artificial intelligence cooperation with An Hongjie, and mainly talked about the issue of investment in industrial projects that needed to be cooperated on.
An Hongjie, being sensible, stopped the conversation there.
The two sides talked for more than two hours.
It didn't end until 4 p.m.
Tomorrow they will also go to the Huihu District site to check on the construction progress.
An Hongjie has arranged a dinner party for tonight.
It was difficult to refuse, so Qi Yanchao agreed.
An Hongjie personally escorted the two downstairs and left.
Inside Su Qingzhi's office.
The assistant knocked and entered, saying, "President Su, President Qi and the others from Rong En have already left."
Su Qingzhi handed him a signed document, her face expressionless, and said, "The talks took quite a while. How's the situation progressing with Teng Hui?"
The assistant said, "I just received a call. Mr. Pei of Boheng does not acknowledge the contract that Mr. Ren signed without his consent, and the two have not reached an agreement."
"Pei Yu must already know something. We must secure the cooperation with Bo Heng. You need to make things clear to Teng Hui." His tone was authoritative and left no room for argument.
"Yes."
The assistant took the documents and turned to leave the office.
At this time.
His phone vibrated.
Su Qingzhi glanced at the caller ID, put down the documents in her hand, leaned back in her chair, and answered the phone, "Tingchen, what's up?"
Sheng Tingchen asked, "How did the talks go?"
Su Qingzhi knew what he was asking.
Sheng Tingchen's sudden attack on Donghua was partly an attempt to restrain Jiang Huaixu's side.
Su Qingzhi said, "Since a strategic cooperation has been reached, signing a contract is a natural thing to do. Of course, we certainly can't let them cooperate too smoothly."
Sheng Tingchen gave a soft "hmm".
"Your wife is also here to talk today."
Sheng Tingchen said, "I know, she's in Haishi with Meimei?"
Su Qingzhi paused for a moment, then said, "Aren't you worried that if you go to court now, she'll fight for custody of Meimei?"
Sheng Tingchen chuckled and said, "Do you think that's possible?"
Su Qingzhi pondered for a moment, then said nothing more.
"I will come to Haishi in a couple of days."
"So you really can't be separated from your daughter for too long, is that it?"
Sheng Tingchen didn't answer. "He hung up."
On the way back to the company.
Qi Yanchao said, "The waters of the MK Group are deeper than I imagined. I now suspect that Sheng Tingchen's sudden attack on Donghua is to restrain Huaixu."
Rong Shu's face darkened. She had guessed it already. "So Sheng Tingchen is still biased towards Su Qingzhi after all."
Neither the An family nor Su Qingzhi had much impact on An Qingyue; both sides doted on her unconditionally.
Qi Yanchao said, "That should be the case. Su Qingzhi will definitely not back down on Boheng's side. Hopefully, Pei Yu can hold on."
Rong Shu gave a soft "hmm," her expression not looking good.
Qi Yanchao looked at her and comforted her with a smile: "Xiao Shu, don't worry too much. You have to believe in your brother and believe in Rong En. Rong En has gone through countless competitions like this. Bo Heng can't stay stagnant forever. If they want a qualitative leap, they will always have to go through a fierce battle. Perhaps this time will be an opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Rong Shu nodded and hummed in agreement.
At this time.
Rong Shu received a call from Jiang Yu.
She's finished with her work now. When asked where she lives, she took Ya Ya to stay with Mei Mei.
Rong Shu told her the address.
"Okay, Ya Ya and I will go now."
7 PM.
Rong Shu and Qi Yanchao arrived at the agreed-upon location for the dinner.
The two entered the hotel.
Rong Shu and Qi Yanchao were chatting when suddenly Rong Shu stepped on something, which made her foot uncomfortable. She could clearly hear the sound of something breaking under her feet.
She paused, moved her foot, and saw a pocket watch that had been stepped on and broken on the ground. She bent down and reached out to pick it up.
"Who dropped the pocket watch?" Qi Yanchao asked, just as he saw someone striding towards him.
Rong Shu was about to open it to check when she saw the person who had come.
Su Qingzhi walked up to Rong Shu and frowned slightly as her gaze fell on the broken pocket watch on Rong Shu's wrist.
