As Fang Rumei also arrived, Qin Chuan asked everyone to find a seat and then patiently recounted the day's events at Qingbei University to them.
Hearing that Qin Chuan had reached a cooperation with Qingbei University, and that they would send a professional team of fifteen people to inspect tomorrow, Yang Zimo and Fang Rumei were both surprised and delighted.
This was definitely a piece of great news. Everyone knew very well what kind of institution Qingbei University was.
If such a professional team of fifteen people could truly establish cooperation with the laboratory, the benefits would be immense.
Both now and in the future, it would greatly enhance the laboratory's reputation.
Once the finished MP3 product was developed, in future advertisements, any employee could proudly state with their chest puffed out that their product was a new multimedia developed jointly by Qingbei University and top foreign experts.
The public's willingness to pay and trust would be higher, which was absolutely crucial for a product.
"Qin Chuan, you are amazing! How did you convince Qingbei University to cooperate with us on such a successful collaboration?"
Fang Rumei was the most excited because she was one of the major shareholders of this MP3 product, with an equal share to Qin Chuan.
How much money Qin Chuan made in the future meant how much she could also make.
"The reason I was able to reach a cooperation with Director Wen of Qingbei University today is thanks to Boss Liu's contribution."
Qin Chuan smiled and looked towards Liu Dongqiang, who was sitting not far away.
This statement immediately made Liu Dongqiang the focus of everyone's attention. Even with Liu Dongqiang's experience and composure, he was slightly flustered at this moment.
He quickly waved his hands and explained, "I... I really didn't do anything."
"Boss Qin, all of this is the result of your own efforts."
"You had something sufficiently attractive to Director Wen, and you moved Director Wen with your words and patriotic sentiments."
Qin Chuan shook his head, "Boss Liu, although we are friends, let's talk business. I must accept this favor today!"
Liu Dongqiang indeed played a crucial role in the smooth cooperation with Wen Changqing today.
If he hadn't happened to meet Liu Dongqiang and Shang Honglian, Qin Chuan believed that even if he had found Wen Changqing, it might not have gone so smoothly.
Starting from Liu Dongqiang, they first used the Shen Dun storage locker as an opening, initiated the conversation, offered a concession by lowering the price, and then gradually revealed their needs.
At the same time, he catered to their interests, arousing the resonance of Wen Changqing, a scholar, with patriotic sentiments and the current national conditions.
Of course, the most crucial factor was that Qin Chuan had something sufficiently attractive to Wen Changqing, which was Alisa and the other three from the Alliance Company.
Qin Chuan wanted to develop his laboratory and research MP3s, while Wen Changqing wanted to acquire the scientific research technology from Alisa and the other three.
The two sides hit it off almost immediately, which was why it went so smoothly.
While Qin Chuan and Liu Dongqiang were talking, Shang Honglian had been quietly observing Yang Zimo and Fang Rumei, who were sitting next to Qin Chuan, paying the most attention to Yang Zimo.
Her reaction, however, did not escape the eyes of Yang Zimo and Fang Rumei.
"Zimo, this little sister is quite interesting. I always feel a hint of hidden hostility in her gaze when she looks at us!"
Fang Rumei whispered to Yang Zimo.
"And the key point is, she came with Qin Chuan. Do you know who this beautiful little sister is?"
Yang Zimo casually glanced at Shang Honglian. As their eyes met in mid-air, Shang Honglian immediately dodged, her guilty demeanor making Yang Zimo chuckle inwardly.
With her experience, how could she not see the little thoughts of this young girl!
Based on her feminine intuition, Yang Zimo could feel that Shang Honglian's gaze towards her stemmed from the man sitting next to her.
"Alas, as expected, when a man is outstanding, the butterflies flock to him uninvited!"
"Even this kind of little sister is attracted!"
Yang Zimo sighed inwardly, but that was all.
She was confident that Qin Chuan would not easily enter into a special relationship with such a young girl.
Perhaps she was indeed a beauty, with bright eyes and white teeth, but the immature and youthful aura was too obvious. It might be a little later, when the girl matured, that she would pose a threat.
"Let's go, I'll give you a tour of the laboratory."
At this moment, Qin Chuan stood up and invited Liu Dongqiang.
Following Qin Chuan, Liu Dongqiang and Shang Honglian toured everything in the laboratory, and gradually, they arrived at the experimental area.
Upon opening the door and entering, Alisa and the other three, who were working inside, turned their heads upon hearing the noise.
When Shang Honglian saw Alisa in a white lab coat, with exotic features, sexy and hot, inside the laboratory, she widened her beautiful eyes again.
"How is there another one here, and a foreign beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes?"
Shang Honglian's mind was filled with questions. Was this a land of women, with pretty women threatening her everywhere?
When did beautiful women become so cheap, seeing three in just a few minutes?
And they were all beautiful, with different charms and allure, all types that men liked.
For the first time, Shang Honglian felt a strong sense of pressure and dejection. At this moment, she suddenly understood why Qin Chuan was indifferent to her.
It turned out that the beautiful women surrounding him were as numerous as clouds. She might have a little charm, but there were always others better. When placed among truly mature women, she was so unremarkable.
At this moment, Shang Honglian, who was a pampered princess at home and always proud, was truly struck!
However, all this was not over yet. At this moment, Shang Honglian heard Qin Chuan conversing with the foreigners in fluent English.
His pronunciation was surprisingly standard, which surprised Shang Honglian again. She never knew Qin Chuan could speak English, and so fluently and naturally, even better than she spoke.
In terms of beauty, she couldn't compare to any of the three women in the laboratory. In terms of understanding, she didn't even know that Qin Chuan could speak English.
"So I didn't understand Brother Qin Chuan at all. No wonder he doesn't like me!"
Shang Honglian murmured to herself.
By the time they left the laboratory, Shang Honglian's mood was still very low and glum.
This caught Liu Dongqiang's attention, and he quickly asked what was wrong.
But Shang Honglian remained silent, sitting sulkily in the car.
Liu Dongqiang, who didn't understand women, could only fret helplessly.
"Brother Qiang, if you like someone, what does it mean to truly like them?"
Suddenly, Shang Honglian turned her head and asked.
Liu Dongqiang, who was driving, was stunned for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I've never been in a relationship, so I'm not very clear."
Shang Honglian's face showed a look of disappointment.
Liu Dongqiang noticed it and quickly added, "But I think if you like someone, then you should be happy when they are happy, and sad when they are sad."
"Whether it's eating or sleeping, you'll be worried about the other person!"
As he said this, Liu Dongqiang's gaze was unusually intense, staring directly at Shang Honglian's face beside him.
That look made Shang Honglian flustered, and she quickly told him to concentrate on driving.
