My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot
Chapter 300: Are you two putting on an act for me here?

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Are you two putting on an act for me here?

Zhou Xueyi was so angry that he started to breathe heavily.

But that was no matter, he still had one last trick up his sleeve.

Zhou Xueyi’s gaze turned cold as he looked out the window.

Lu Youxi, you’ve really made an enemy out of me!

After passing by the internet café, it wasn’t long before they arrived at the office building where Lu Youxi’s rented office was located.

Although the building wasn’t as imposing as Chengzhou’s, it still looked decent.

The driver parked the car in a spot in the parking lot beneath the building.

Several people got out of the car and walked towards the office building only to see that Lu Youxi was already waiting at the entrance with Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi.

Seeing them arrive, she quickly greeted them.

"Chairman Zhou, Vice President Xiang, Manager Shen, Manager Yan, welcome, welcome!" Lu Youxi said enthusiastically.

"President Lu," Xiang Shihong replied with a friendly smile, "Your new office location looks really nice!"

"Fortunately, we moved here, or else we’d have been embarrassed to invite you all over," Lu Youxi exhaled a sigh of relief, "Now it finally looks somewhat presentable."

"Eh! The office location doesn’t really matter. As long as our technology is solid," said Xiang Shihong with a beaming smile.

Zhou Xueyi kept a cold face, sizing up Lu Youxi with a frosty look.

The more he looked, the more cunning he found this Lu Youxi to be.

Not a word from her mouth was truthful.

He would absolutely never trust Lu Youxi again!

He couldn’t believe that, after decades in the business world, he’d been fooled by such a young girl.

It was infuriating!

However, Lu Youxi seemed completely oblivious to Zhou Xueyi’s angry demeanor; she still spoke with a smile, "Chairman Zhou, we meet again."

"Assistant Cao is here too." Lu Youxi didn’t even let Cao Zhijie off the hook.

Cao Zhijie shivered unexpectedly, getting the sense that being recognized by Lu Youxi here wasn’t a good thing.

He wanted to warn Zhou Xueyi.

But Zhou Xueyi was now filled with rage and didn’t catch his hint.

Zhou Xueyi’s lips twitched with a forced smile, looking as if he had a facial nerve disorder.

This girl, she still has the nerve to talk to him with such a grin?

As if nothing had happened.

He hadn’t expected her to be so thick-skinned!

Xiang Shihong asked, surprised, "Eh? President Lu, you’ve met Chairman Zhou before?"

Lu Youxi had always visited Chengzhou Technology.

But Zhou Xueyi was usually at the headquarters building and rarely visited Chengzhou Technology.

And even if he did, he shouldn’t have any interactions with Lu Youxi.

They wouldn’t recognize each other if they were face to face.

"I’ve met him," Lu Youxi stated crisply.

At that moment, Zhou Xueyi finally snapped back to reality, sensing something was amiss.

His face changed, but it was already too late to stop her.

Hearing Lu Youxi speak crisply and cheerfully, she told Xiang Shihong, "Just a few days ago, Chairman Zhou brought Assistant Cao to the internet café, saying he wanted to invest in the Little Pink Book in his personal capacity. Of course, I was happy to welcome it, after all, Chairman Zhou is a director of Chengzhou, someone we can trust."

"But Chairman Zhou then proposed that we give him the core algorithms of Little Pink Book, which we did not agree to, so the investment talks fell through," Lu Youxi sighed regretfully, "Chairman Zhou, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. In fact, any company would have to refuse such a request. Chengzhou Technology didn’t even ask us for it. Even if we are desperate for investment, we can’t exchange our core technology for it. By doing so, we would sever our own development prospects. What would be the point of receiving investment then?"

Zhou Xueyi: "!!!"

Xiang Shihong: "..."

Hehe, who would’ve thought Zhou Xueyi would engage in such underhanded tactics behind the scenes?

Was he taking advantage of the fact that Lu Youxi and the other two were just freshmen who didn’t understand anything?

What was he trying to do?

Wanted their core technology to create a duplicate?

Taking advantage and bullying, and he went after students no less.

Isn’t he ashamed?

No wonder the CEO looks down upon him!

As for Zhou Xueyi, this was all he was capable of!

Xiang Shihong snorted internally, while his expression became more serious.

He was worried that Lu Youxi and the others would misconstrue that Chengzhou also bullied the weak.

Regardless of what, Zhou Xueyi was a director of Chengzhou, even if he was investing in his personal capacity, others might still associate him with the company.

This could negatively affect Chengzhou’s reputation, which was no good.

Therefore, Xiang Shihong hurriedly clarified, "These were all Chairman Zhou’s personal actions, unrelated to us at Chengzhou."

"We didn’t even know that Chairman Zhou had contacted you privately with such a request," Xiang Shihong said despite usually giving Zhou Xueyi face, fear was not in his vocabulary.

Although Zhou Xueyi was a director, he had no real power, and Xiang Shihong would give him face only in casual matters but would not heed him in serious matters.

Moreover, this whole situation was Zhou Xueyi’s fault, and he planned to report this to Zhou Shuyan upon his return.

He was curious to see, with Zhou Xueyi sneaking around like this, what exactly was he up to?

"President Lu, rest assured, we at Chengzhou have very strict rules and regulations, and as a reputable company, we would never ask you to trade your core technologies," Xiang Shihong assured.

"Of course, I believe that," Lu Youxi said, her expression turning serious for once, "Chengzhou has always been a great help to Little Pink Book, and if Chengzhou had wanted to, they could have asked long ago. Some of the recent updates and bug fixes for Little Pink Book were completed with the help of Chengzhou. If Chengzhou had wanted, they could have easily taken advantage of the situation to get their hands on Little Pink Book’s core technology."

"Chengzhou conducts business ethically and is trustworthy," Lu Youxi stated, "Moreover, these are all spelled out clearly in the contract in black and white. Chengzhou provided significant protection for Little Pink Book."

Hearing Lu Youxi’s words, Xiang Shihong seemed greatly relieved.

Zhou Xueyi, on the other hand, was fuming.

What now?

You two are putting on a play for me here?

Making it out like one is full of trust and the other is brimming with comfort, so I’m the villain?

"Hmph!" Zhou Xueyi couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Lu Youxi, I really underestimated you, waiting here for me?"

"How did you talk to me last time? You said the internet café owner was nice and rented the second floor to you cheaply. You didn’t mention that you were the owner yourself," Zhou Xueyi said with a cold voice, "Doing business is all about honesty, and you deceived me first, clearly playing me for a fool. How can you still have the nerve to talk so much?"

Zhou Xueyi hadn’t expected that, after he finished speaking, Lu Youxi would sigh and bow deeply to Zhou Xueyi.

Zhou Xueyi was so startled he almost took a step back, but having been through many trials, he managed to hold himself steady.
