Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

The following day, Tang Ning personally delivered the acquisition agreement, which included the price quote, to Zhao Bo and Fu Jialiang of Bihai.

The acquisition price of 9.48 million is a package price, which includes all factories, equipment, personnel, etc. except for Zhao Bo and Fu Jialiang.

In fact, Jiang Yin and Fu Jialiang had already privately agreed to rehire him after the acquisition was completed. The factory needed a factory manager who understood both technology and management, and he was the perfect fit.

Therefore, in the end, only Zhao Bo was eliminated from the acquisition.

Fu Jialiang glanced through the agreement, and his expression clearly showed his satisfaction. Zhao Bo, on the other hand, remained tight-lipped, only saying that he needed time to think it over.

Tang Ning believed the price was fair, and neither he nor Jiang Yin were petty or calculating. Their collaborations with other companies were always aimed at a win-win situation, and they never exerted excessive pressure.

Their philosophy is: if making ten dollars on a single deal is reasonable, then nine dollars is enough for Tianyu; they'll share more profit with their partners. This way, others will be more willing to continue cooperating, and the business can grow sustainably.

Because of this business philosophy, Tianyu has earned an excellent reputation among its partners and within the industry.

But Zhao Bo's suggestion to consider it made sense. Before leaving, Tang Ning told the two of them, "If you have any different opinions, you can bring them up, and we can discuss them together."

I considered it for three days.

Three days later, Tang Ning called to inquire, and Zhao Bo was still very enthusiastic on the phone: "The agreement is fine. Actually, during the initial evaluation, everyone discussed each item one by one. What problems could there be? I'll discuss it with President Fu, and we'll sign it for you soon."

But with the weekend included, five days have passed, and the agreement still hasn't been signed.

Tang Ning and Jiang Yin were still talking about this during lunch.

Tang Ning frowned: "Bi Hai is so slow. He said there were no problems, but he just won't sign it back. It's really annoying."

"Something might have delayed things, don't worry too much. President Fu told me privately that he is satisfied with the agreement, but he doesn't have the final say," Jiang Yin comforted Tang Ning.

Tang Ning took a sip of soup: "I don't know what this General Manager Zhao is thinking. I haven't asked him these past two days, afraid he'll think we're being too eager and act arrogantly. But if we keep dragging this out, I'm worried someone else will get involved in the competition. Never mind, I'll call and ask him when I get back."

"Yes, it's been several days, you can ask now." Jiang Yin nodded.

At this moment, Li Tianmu came running over with a tray, and sat down next to Tang Ning with a grin:

"Look what I got for you!"

Tang Ning glanced at his plate and said, "Stir-fried pork ribs? Why didn't I order any?" As she spoke, she picked up a piece with her chopsticks.

"This must have just been served. I just happened to catch it." With that, he transferred all the ribs from his plate to Tang Ning's plate.

Tang Ning enjoyed her meal, but said, "You're such a rich kid, why are you always fighting with ordinary people for ribs?"

"Fine, then you don't have to eat anymore," Li Tianmu said, reaching out with his chopsticks to pick up the ribs Tang Ning was gnawing on. "You're the kind of person who gets a good deal but then complains."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong," Tang Ning dodged left and right, "I'm in a bad mood, don't mess with me."

Li Tianmu raised an eyebrow: "Why are you in a bad mood?"

Seeing that Tang Ning was busy gnawing on ribs and couldn't get any food out of his mouth, Jiang Yin spoke up:

"General Manager Zhao from Bihai said he was very satisfied with the agreement, but he just won't sign it. It's been dragging on for several days now."

Li Tianmu chuckled softly upon hearing this, tapping his chopsticks lightly on the edge of his plate: "Then he definitely has a request, and it's personal. This kind of person is very cunning. He won't mention it, he'll just leave you hanging, and when you can't hold back anymore and ask, the initiative will be in his hands."

"Oh?" Jiang Yin and Tang Ning raised their eyebrows together.

Jiang Yin asked in surprise, "If you had any requests, wouldn't you have brought them up when we were discussing the terms of the agreement?"

"He brought it up himself, so he's the one asking for something. What good terms could he possibly get? And now he's holding the agreement in his hands, blocking you. If you ask him directly, wouldn't he be able to ask for a better price?" Li Tianmu said with a sneer.

"Tsk, what does he want?" Tang Ning frowned.

"Just ask," Li Tianmu said, then focused on shoveling rice into his mouth.

After the meal, the group went upstairs to Tang Ning's office for tea.

When it was time for work, Li Tianmu said goodbye and left.

Jiang Yin was just about to return to her office when she heard Li Tianmu talking to another person in the corridor.

"Brother Yuan, you're here again. You really are a public servant, always reporting in. When are you going to come over and offer some warmth to me?"

"You brat, stop talking nonsense. Just seeing you gives me a headache." Then came the sound of clothes being patted.

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning quickly went to the door to greet them and saw Long Xingyuan walking towards them with a smile.

Li Tianmu walked backwards while rubbing his arm and grimacing, "It hurts so much, Brother Yuan, you really have the heart to do that."

Long Xingyuan stopped and turned around to walk back, pretending to chase after Li Tianmu. Li Tianmu was so frightened that he ran into the elevator lobby.

Long Xingyuan turned around and laughed with Tang Ning and Jiang Yin.

The two hurriedly invited Long Xingyuan into the house. After he sat down on the sofa, just as they were about to make tea, Long Xingyuan waved his hand dismissively:

"Don't bother, I have something to do. I'll leave after I finish speaking."

Jiang Yin ignored him, filled a cup with warm water, bent down and handed it to him.

As Long Xingyuan reached out to take it, he casually glanced at Jiang Yin's forehead: "Is the injury on your head fully healed?"

"It's all settled now, I'd completely forgotten about it," Jiang Yin said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm here to talk about the EU business delegation visiting in late May. The businesses coming this time are from the high-tech industry, so our science park will be organizing the reception." Long Xingyuan took a sip of water, put down his cup, and said to Jiang Yin and Tang Ning.

"Are you here to seek business cooperation?" Tang Ning asked.

Long Xingyuan nodded: "Yes, if your products want to enter the European market, this is a great opportunity. This delegation is very high-level, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it. A series of activities will be organized, and you should make time to participate."

"Okay, thank you, Director Long." The two expressed their gratitude.

Long Xingyuan had something to attend to, and after chatting for a few minutes, he took his leave with a smile.

Jiang Yin and Tang Ning exchanged a glance; the acquisition of Bihai was urgent, even if they weren't in a rush.

The European market is huge; it's already been part of Jiang Yin and Tang Ning's business expansion plans. Now that the opportunity is practically at their doorstep, they have to seize it no matter what.

Even though Tianyu has top-notch technology, it's always good to have its own final assembly plant. You can't expect customers to take you to an outsourced factory when they visit. Although this Bihai plant is far from the advanced and digitalized version that Jiang Yin envisions, it's still presentable for now.

Tang Ning took out her phone and dialed Zhao Bo's number: "Mr. Zhao, the agreement hasn't been signed yet. Is there a problem?"

"No, no, what could be wrong? I've been a bit busy these past few days, but I'll sign it and send it back to you soon," Zhao Bo said enthusiastically into the microphone.

Tang Ning frowned as he hung up the phone, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the sofa armrest. His intuition told him—the agreement wouldn't be signed immediately.

Jiang Yin paused for two seconds, then said, "Let's wait another afternoon. If he doesn't sign this afternoon, I'll ask President Fu for information tomorrow."

"Hmm, I'll have the legal department prepare a 'demand letter' as well. We'll decide whether to send it or not after you and President Fu have gathered the information," Tang Ning replied thoughtfully.

.......

After the Qingming Festival, the weather in Beijing became like a wild horse, galloping recklessly towards the spring scenery.

The willow branches have turned green, the mountain flowers have bloomed, and the streams are babbling merrily.

Chen Mo hurriedly turned into Beihai Park and walked quickly towards Minghu Lake.

Just before leaving get off work, a patient came in. He was a regular customer with some influence, so Chen Mo couldn't be negligent. Therefore, Chen Mo arrived half an hour later than the agreed time.

Walking onto the wooden boardwalk by the lake, I could see a dignified lady sitting on a bench by the lake in the distance.

Her long, jet-black hair was piled high; her shoulders and neck were straight, and her gaze was fixed on the lake; inside her khaki trench coat, the collar of her royal blue cheongsam was buttoned up meticulously.

Chen Mo hurried a few steps and said with a smile, "Meiyu, I'm late."
