Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker
Chapter 42 I Won't Sell You
Jiang Yin, who was searching for materials in the small back warehouse, heard someone calling her and knew that a customer had arrived. She quickly put on a smile and came out, saying, "Coming."
"you…..."
She only managed to utter half of the word "hello" before she stopped, her face instantly turning cold.
Jian Tingyun was also surprised to see Jiang Yin; he hadn't expected to meet her two thousand kilometers away from the capital.
He noticed the change in Jiang Yin's expression, but he was completely captivated by the drone.
After hesitating for a moment, I still asked:
"Is this for sale?" He held up the drone that he was particularly interested in.
"Not for sale!"
Jian Tingyun doubted her ears. If you open a shop and don't sell anything, then what do you sell?
He thought Jiang Yin might have assumed he was only buying this one, so he added:
"I'm not just buying one; I want to buy five thousand first. If sales are good, I might buy ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even more."
"Not for sale!"
Jiang Yin stood there coldly and stubbornly, her hands clenching unconsciously at her sides, her eyes reddening.
"Is it that they won't sell this product, or they won't sell it to me?"
"I won't sell to you!"
Why?
"You know it yourself."
"..." Jian Tingyun was speechless for a moment, just because she was Qin Heming's friend?
Just then, another customer came in, speaking with an accent that was hard to understand. He said he wanted to buy twenty drones that were flying on the big screen outside, to distribute to the schools in the village.
Jiang Yin composed herself, put on a smile, and personally picked up the sample to explain it to the person.
Jian Tingyun stood there awkwardly, and after a long while, Jiang Yin didn't even give him a glance, so he had no choice but to walk out the door dejectedly.
When had a family of Jian's stature ever suffered such cold treatment?
He simply couldn't take it anymore; a surge of anger welled up inside him, and he picked up the phone to make a call...
.......
Around 5 p.m., Jiang Yin and Tang Ning were eating boxed lunches in the shop.
Street supervisor Uncle Yang walked by on his way off work, knocked on their door, leaned against the door, and said mysteriously:
"Tell me, who are you two young people? You've actually angered the Jian family by coming after you?"
Tang Ning and Jiang Yin exchanged a glance, their faces filled with astonishment.
Is Jian Tingyun really that petty?
Actually, when Tang Ning came back in the afternoon, Jiang Yin told him about it and realized she had acted impulsively. A few simple words would have been enough to dismiss him; why offend this person?
At times like these, Director Yu keeps saying we should keep a low profile.
Tang Ning said at the time, "Don't be afraid, do whatever you want, don't wrong yourself, and don't worry so much."
Seeing the two of them staring at each other, Uncle Yang chuckled.
"Don't be nervous. My nephew works in the district. He said the higher-ups have given us a notice not to mess with you. Don't worry, don't be afraid."
After saying that, he chuckled and said, "I'm leaving now. You guys enjoy your meal."
Tang Ning quickly stood up, walked to the door, and said goodbye to Uncle Yang: "Uncle, take care, come again."
When Tang Ning returned, Jiang Yin said, "It must have been Director Yu who spoke to the relevant departments, probably to prevent us from being targeted."
Tang Ning nodded; he thought so too.
.......
The reply came quickly: "It's impossible to do anything about it; someone above is protecting you."
This result was unexpected for Jian Tingyun. What company could the Jian family not touch?
Does Tang Ning have connections? Isn't he a penniless guy?
Jiang Yin definitely has no powerful connections.
Regarding Jiang Yin's background, several of their friends asked the Qin siblings, but neither of them could confirm or deny it.
They naturally assumed he was a poor man, otherwise why would he have thought of the "climbing into someone's bed" tactic?
Since Jiang Yin has a personal grievance against him, shouldn't he ask Tang Ning about it? Perhaps Tang Ning is the one who decides between the two of them?
Jian Tingyun made up her mind to talk to Tang Ning directly when they were alone.
The next day, Jian Tingyun went to Tianyu Technology's shop again and circled around twice. Jiang Yin was there the whole time, but Tang Ning never showed up.
Undeterred, Jian Tingyun returned to the vicinity of the shop around 8 PM that evening.
Two people were arguing not far from the shop. Their accents were so strong that it was impossible to understand what they were saying. A few people were gathered around watching the commotion.
Jian Tingyun immediately spotted Tang Ning leaning against the doorframe of the shop, watching the two people arguing with great interest.
Tang Ning was watching the commotion when he saw Jian Tingyun approaching. He shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, and greeted Jian Tingyun with a forced smile.
"Mr. Jian, what brings you here?"
Jian Tingyun saw that his attitude wasn't much better, but since he was already there, he still spoke up:
"I'd like to talk to Mr. Tang about a potential collaboration."
Tang Ning's expression remained unchanged. "There's no cooperation to discuss."
Jian Tingyun: "..."
These are all incredibly direct.
Seeing that he didn't move, Tang Ning added, "Xiao Yin said she wouldn't sell, and that's final. I heard that President Jian sent someone to mess with us? You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
That's so embarrassing!
I tried to mess with someone, but not only did I fail, they also found out about it.
Jian Tingyun stood there awkwardly, mouth agape, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, the argument between the two people next to them suddenly intensified.
Tang Ning glanced over there, her eyes immediately lit up, and she rushed over with both hands to break up the fight:
"Hey, don't hit me! Hey, don't do it! Don't do it!"
Jian Tingyun was left standing there.
How can we possibly tolerate this?
Jian Tingyun picked up the phone again...
.......
Shen Lan returned to the company, pushed open the door to the vice president's office, threw her bag on the sofa, and plopped down in her office chair.
The office chair spun a few times due to gravity.
Shen Lan leaned her head against the thick back of the boss's chair, closed her eyes wearily, and let her body sway back and forth with the chair.
After resting for a while, Shen Lan straightened up, pulled her chair closer to her desk, and pressed a button on the landline.
A few seconds later.
"Knock, knock, knock," came the sound of knocking on the door.
"Enter."
Secretary Sun Lifeng pushed open the door and entered.
Shen Lan concealed the weariness on her face and asked as usual:
"Have you found out why Xingxin didn't receive patent authorization?"
"I asked Mr. Cai from the Qin family to inquire, and it seems that the patent author disagrees."
"Oh?" Shen Lan frowned immediately. "Who is the author? Can one author decide on so many patents?"
"The author is unknown; he is anonymous. Most of the patents declassified this time were developed by this author," Sun Lixin replied respectfully, leaning slightly forward.
"Oh, it's not easy to investigate if it's anonymous," Shen Lan nodded. "Okay, I understand. You can go now."
Sun Lixin took two steps back, turned around and left.
Watching Sun Lixin walk away, Shen Lan thought of his mother, Sun Yuanyuan, the two of them looking very much alike.
Back then, it was Sun Yuanyuan who informed her about Gu Tingfeng's affair, allowing her to rush back in time to drive the other woman away and prevent a bigger disaster from occurring.
Unexpectedly, while she was fighting with the other woman in the office, she accidentally pushed Sun Yuanyuan, causing the latter to miscarry on the spot.
Later, Sun Yuanyuan's health deteriorated as a result, so she resigned and never worked again.
Actually, she came to break up the fight out of kindness, but she suffered this undeserved misfortune.
Shen Lan felt guilty whenever she thought about it.
As for who Sun Yuanyuan's husband is, Shen Lan has never cared; she guesses he's just an ordinary office worker.
After all, Sun Yuanyuan was not highly educated and was just an administrative secretary back then, responsible for trivial matters such as relaying information, delivering documents, and booking hotels and plane tickets.
Six years ago, when Sun Yuanyuan asked her to arrange a job for her son who had just graduated from university, Shen Lan agreed without hesitation.
She felt that this was a chance given to her by God to make amends to Sun Yuanyuan.
Despite Gu Tingfeng's objections, she arranged for Sun Lifeng to train at a branch office for two years before promoting him directly to the position of secretary.
Gu Tingfeng said that he was mediocre, inexperienced, and not tactful enough, and therefore unsuitable to be a secretary.
Shen Lan didn't think so.
Average ability, just need to be obedient.
Lack of experience can be gradually cultivated.
What she values is loyalty, just as Sun Yuanyuan did for her back then.
Sun Lifeng is now even more so.
He was not only loyal, but also humble and respectful, and got along very well with everyone in the company. Even Gu Tingfeng couldn't say anything about him.
"Loyalty..." Shen Lan chewed on the word repeatedly, her tone carrying an indescribable bitterness.
She slowly closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.
The familiar face of that little girl from eight years ago resurfaced in my mind. I've searched for so many years, but still haven't found her...
