"Hmph," Qin Beiting let out a cold laugh.
Chen Dong also saw the business card in his hand. "This Future Tech will do anything to negotiate cooperation."
Five years ago, Qin Corporation's new chip research and development project was stolen. Their cooperation chains broke, and XS Group, with its newly developed exclusive chip, fiercely seized the market, annexing Qin Corporation and becoming the leading technology chip company in Asia.
Future Tech, the leader in Europe and America, wanted to use XS Group's chip for their newly developed household robot to enter the Asian market. This was equivalent to trying to seize the Asian market. XS Group also had plans for robots, so Qin Beiting naturally would not agree to let competitors use their own products to steal their market.
Cooperation could not be reached, but Future Tech did not give up. Every few days, they sent people to XS Group to seek cooperation. They did not expect that this time, they would even use a child, trying to play the emotional card?
Then they had indeed chosen the most useless method. Since five years ago, when Froyed followed Yu He's instructions to remove her from Ting Ge's memory, Ting Ge had lost interest in women.

On the other side.
Future Tech Company, Technical Director's Office.
Yu He had just finished organizing the project summary she had spent four years developing. At that moment, her phone, placed on the side, rang.
The caller ID showed "Xiao Anran," Yu He's personal assistant, mainly responsible for taking care of her two children.
As soon as she answered the phone, a frantic voice came through the receiver:
"Sister He, it's bad. Yueyue and Duoduo left a note and have returned to China. Their phones are all turned off, and they've already boarded the plane."
Yu He's brows furrowed slightly. "When did this happen?"
"Two hours ago. Duoduo was crying to eat lobster noodles and insisted I go to the seafood market to buy her a large lobster. I went, and when I came back, neither of them was home, and their suitcases were gone. They left a note on the table. I just called the airline, and they did handle two unaccompanied minors' flights this morning. The plane took off ten minutes ago," Xiao Anran explained.
Yu He immediately opened her computer and quickly typed in a string of code. Soon, a map appeared on the screen, with two small red dots moving, their coordinates located high in the sky.
This was the locator she had installed in the two children's smartwatches. It had been specially processed so that it would not be disconnected due to signal interference.
"Help me pack my luggage, and book two tickets back to China. You're coming too," Yu He instructed.
"But can you get away from your work?" Xiao Anran asked worriedly.
"The project just ended, and I'm planning to take a vacation," Yu He said.
This time, going back to China, she would also take the opportunity to search for her past memories.
Xiao Anran: "Okay."
Yu He hung up the phone, organized the project summary report and leave application, and was about to go out when the office door was pushed open from the outside.
A man and two women entered.
The man was wearing a black suit, had short brown curly hair, a typical Western high brow bone, deep-set eyes, and blue pupils that looked dreamy and charming.
Mr. Zuo, Zuo Ye, President of Future Tech Company.
Behind him followed a woman with apricot-colored wavy curls and heavy makeup. Even in early winter, she was still wearing a deep V-neck fitted dress.
She was Catherine, the head of the company's business department.
Behind them followed a woman with ear-length short hair, Yu He's work assistant, Alice.
Alice looked at Yu He apologetically, as if apologizing for not informing them of their arrival in time.
"Since you're here, I won't come to find you. This is the project summary for the 'First Generation Household Robot,' and I'm planning to take a break," Yu He said, handing the project summary and leave application to Zuo Ye in fluent American English.
Zuo Ye glanced at the leave duration. "Three months, baby, that's not a short time. Are you planning to go somewhere for fun?"
"I'm going back to China," Yu He replied truthfully.
"China is good, it's your country, you should go back," Zuo Ye agreed. He took a pen from his suit pocket and readily signed the leave application.
"Coincidentally, I'm also going on leave. If you're going to China, could you go to XS Group on my behalf and negotiate the new chip cooperation? The robot was developed by you, so you'll definitely be better at negotiating the chips than I am," Catherine said, playing with her curly hair with a captivating charm.
"Are you assigning me work?" Yu He glanced at Catherine sideways.
She had heard that their business department had been unable to secure the new chip cooperation with XS Group.
The Asian market version of the robot was already out, and it still used Future's first-generation chip. The operating system was different from the XS Group's system commonly used by Asians, and the system connections could not be established. Therefore, Future's shareholders were eager to reach a cooperation with XS Group to enter the Asian market using their chips.
At this time, Catherine still had the leisure to take a vacation, indicating that the company's urgent need for cooperation did not affect her much.
Not to mention that Catherine was of the same rank as Yu He. At Future Tech, Zuo Ye was Yu He's only superior. She only accepted work arrangements from Zuo Ye.
"Mr. Zuo, see, I told you it would take you to order Esther around," Catherine said, shrugging at Zuo Ye.
"Ahem," Zuo Ye coughed. "Esther, you understand chip technology better than Catherine. You'll be more successful negotiating cooperation with XS Group than she would. Regarding the terms of cooperation, I can give you as much authority as possible."
Since Zuo Ye had spoken, Yu He had no reason to refuse. "Okay."
First, the other party was her superior; second, the other party was also her savior.
"Thank you. If you secure this cooperation, our business department's bonus will definitely include you. Don't worry, during your absence, I'll look after things in your technical department," Catherine said, taking the project summary from Zuo Ye and hugging it to her chest, giving Yu He a flirtatious look.
Yu He looked at the project summary in her arms with a blank expression.
"I have another meeting, I'm leaving now." Zuo Ye glanced at his watch. Before leaving the office, he did not forget to turn back and say, "Tell me when your flight is, and I'll take you to the airport then."
Yu He did not respond.
"Mr. Zuo is being too unfair. Negotiating cooperation is clearly Catherine's job. She pushes the cooperation that her business department can't secure onto you. If it fails in the end, the shareholders will think you are ineffective," Alice said indignantly as soon as the office door closed.
"Moreover, the 'First Generation Household Robot' is your masterpiece, and she just takes it for granted. Mr. Zuo doesn't say anything to her either. She's always like this, relying on her body to get ahead."
"It's okay, don't be angry. Pack up and get ready to go to China," Yu He said calmly, patting Alice's shoulder.
Catherine wanted to steal her credit?
She would have to see if she had the ability.
