Yu He's pretty peach blossom eyes brightened at the words. She pushed him away, stood up immediately, and walked over to the projection screen.
"Where were we just now..."
"..."
Qin Beiting rose from the sofa, his gaze on the woman flickering, his voice tinged with a slight hoarseness, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Yu He's eyes widened as she noticed his gaze. She instinctively took a step back, but was ultimately pulled into his man's 'claws'.
After a bout of 'ravaging', Qin Beiting held the woman, and they were squeezed together on the sofa.
She carried a faint, pleasant fragrance, which smelled good and felt good, yet he still couldn't recall what had happened between them five years ago.
"Can we get up and talk business now?" Yu He pushed the man away, struggling to get up.
Damn him, he didn't use protection!
She needed to hurry and buy some medicine.
Her clothes were completely ruined. Qin Beiting made a phone call, asking his secretary to bring a clean set of women's clothes.
Seeing the secretary, her cheeks slightly flushed, enter with the clothes, Yu He's own cheeks also felt hot.
She didn't suppress her desires, but she had always been professional, never doing anything out of line during work. Who knew she'd be broken by this damn man.
However, it was quite stimulating, cough...
"I can give you the chip, but only authorize its use in your next-generation domestic robots," Qin Beiting said, taking out a new set of clothes from a small room in his office and slowly putting them on.
Just listening to his voice, one would think it was a serious business negotiation, but paired with his current action of dressing, the scene became instantly disharmonious.
His words meant that the chip would only be used in the robot designed by Yu He, and not in any other robots.
While this result was not ideal, it was still better than no chance of cooperation at all.
"What about the price?" Yu He asked.
"Profit split two-eight," Qin Beiting added.
Yu He thought she misheard. Then she heard Qin Beiting say, "You get two, I get eight."
"..."
Damn capitalists!
Exploiting without mercy.
Although the profit sharing was not within Yu He's consideration for this negotiation, when she designed this robot, Zuo Ye had given her a 2% commission on net sales profit.
The Asian market hadn't even started selling yet, and this guy was already taking such a huge chunk!
"If you can't accept it, you can go back. I'll pretend I didn't say anything," Qin Beiting said deliberately, seeing her silence.
He had finished dressing and sat back in his main office chair, resuming his persona as the cold, ruthless, and domineering Lord Qin, as if nothing had happened.
"Okay. Have your people draft the contract. I'll have President Zuo sign it then." Yu He tidied her belongings, wrapped herself in her down jacket, and hurried out.
"..."
Qin Beiting's brow furrowed. Anyone would refuse such harsh terms. He hadn't expected Yu He to agree so easily.
And she left in such a hurry right after the negotiation. Was she so eager to go back to Zuo Ye?
He got up displeased and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down from here, he could see the main entrance of the group.
In a short while, he saw a red Ferrari parked at the entrance. Yu He came out, glanced around warily, and then quickly got into the car.
The car door closed, and it sped away.
Qin Beiting's face was grim the entire time. If he had known she was in such a hurry to leave, he would have proposed a one-nine split earlier!
...
As soon as Yu He left the office, she contacted Alice to drive over and pick her up. She was wearing different clothes than when she arrived and felt somewhat guilty. Being seen by more people would not be good, so she was a bit vigilant. She went out the main gate, got into the car quickly, and told Alice to drive away.
"Esther, did you offend someone? Why the rush?" Alice asked with a playful tone, seeing her hurry.
"Ahem." Yu He coughed awkwardly. "Can you stop at a pharmacy?"
"Are you not feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital directly?" Alice asked anxiously.
Yu He: "No, a pharmacy will do."
"Okay." Alice quickly found a pharmacy and stopped the car.
Yu He went in, bought an emergency contraceptive pill, took one, and then came out to get back into the car.
"Are you really okay? You really don't need to go to the hospital." Alice was still a bit worried.
"I'm fine. Take me back to Beijing," Yu He said.
Alice then remembered that she herself was a doctor and had a clinic, so she should be fine.
"But President Zuo just instructed me to take you to see him if you left the XS Group," Alice added.
Yu He frowned slightly. Zuo Ye knew her well. He knew that once she came out, she wouldn't contact him so quickly, so he had instructed Alice to take her.
Half an hour later.
Alice stopped the car in front of a five-star hotel and turned back to say, "President Zuo is waiting for you in room 8088."
Yu He got out of the car, told the front desk the room number, got a room key, and went up.
In the room, Zuo Ye stood by the balcony, a wine glass in one hand and a cigar in the other, pacing back and forth. He took a puff of his cigar and a sip of wine, but it couldn't quell the turmoil in his heart.
"Click." Just then, the room door opened from the outside. He turned around, saw Yu He arrive, immediately put down his wine glass, and stepped forward.
"How did it go?" He looked Yu He up and down. Seeing that she had changed her clothes, his eyes darkened.
She had indeed used underhanded tactics to secure the opportunity to negotiate with Qin Beiting, just as Catherine had said.
The pet he had picked up, he himself was reluctant to touch, and now she had been defiled by Qin Beiting like this!
The thought of Qin Beiting humiliating Yu He like a hostess ignited the fire in his heart, fueled by the alcohol.
"XS Group will only authorize their chips for the latest generation of domestic robots. The profit split is two-eight, and they take eight," Yu He relayed Qin Beiting's words to him.
Zuo Ye chuckled, "You went through all that and only got this little value?"
When Yu He entered, she had smelled the strong scent of smoke and alcohol. She glanced at the empty wine bottle on the table and the several cigar butts in the ashtray, and said, "You've had too much to drink. It's not suitable to discuss these things now. You should rest first. We can talk when you're sober."
As she spoke, she turned to leave. Zuo Ye suddenly rushed forward from behind, hugged her, and pushed her onto the bed.
"What are you doing!" Yu He struggled to push him away, but Zuo Ye held her hand tightly.
"If you can be like a hostess, letting him bully you, what's stopping you from doing the same with me?" Zuo Ye roared.
Yu He was stunned. She knew Zuo Ye valued her greatly, but that was because she brought him a lot of profit. She had never imagined he would have such thoughts about her.
"Zuo Ye! Do you have any idea what you're saying!" she said coldly.
"Did I say something wrong?! You know better than I do how you were writhing beneath him! If he can, why can't I?"
Zuo Ye's eyes were red as he continued to roar, "I have the power in the West that he has! What he can give you, I can too! What am I worse than him? Haven't I treated you well enough? Why did you sleep with him so easily!"
