Chapter 297: Five Core Members!

Hearing this, Cheng Wenru lowered her head and glanced at her briefcase.

She folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. “Where?”

She didn’t sound particularly interested.

This was a briefcase issued by the Yunguang Consortium. Large and small businesses had been attracted to the Yunguang Consortium’s bid today. Although it was their first time taking part in the electronic product’s business, no one was worried about whether the project would bite the dust.

The logo had only just been registered by them and had not been released on the market.

Cheng Juan walked slowly down the stairs.

Cheng Mu caught a glimpse of him and was so frightened he shut up immediately. He no longer said a word and didn’t want to play around anymore, so he walked upstairs with the flowerpot to find Qin Ran.

He moved quickly like a gust of wind.

Cheng Jin was stunned. This speed… wasn’t normal.

“Why are you looking for me?” Cheng Juan sat on the sofa, looking down and straightening the sleeves of his pajamas. He leaned against the back of the sofa and spoke with a loose and relaxed tone.

Cheng Wenru was still staring at Cheng Mu’s back, deep in thought.

She looked away when she heard Cheng Juan and threw a folder onto the table. “Take a look.”

Cheng Juan picked it up. He saw the logo on the doc.u.ment at a glance and raised an eyebrow. “You went to bid today?”

“How did you know?” Cheng Wenru sighed. But since she was accustomed to Cheng Juan being more well-informed than her, she didn’t make a fuss. “Indeed. After all, countless people want a piece of that meat.”

Nevertheless, the Yunguang Consortium was a big boss in Asia, and there were only four people who could compete with them in the economic lifeline. This was their first time entering Beijing, so let alone Cheng Wenru and the others, even the major powers of Beijing all hoped for their successful establishment.

It could ultimately drive Beijing’s economic growth.

Cheng Wenru had to grasp such an opportunity.

“I didn’t really touch on this aspect previously. I heard it’s an intelligent system that the big boss of the Yunguang Consortium is involved in, mainly the artificial intelligence and mobile phones.” Cheng Wenru put her hands on the table and turned to ask Cheng Juan, “Help me a.n.a.lyze, do I stand a big chance?”

“0,” Cheng Juan turned a few pages and replied unceremoniously.

“I thought so, too.” Cheng Wenru wasn’t annoyed and just squinted her eyes. “But the Yunguang Consortium’s movement this time is really a little overwhelming.”

The mobile IT market would usher a huge transformation.

Her company had only just emerged, after all. Hence, they weren’t as rich as those families in Beijing, nor as skilled and specialized in electronic products. In this aspect, they weren’t even up to par with a small group specializing in the IT industry.

Unless it fell from the sky, it was impossible.

“They had a lot of movements?” Cheng Jin stayed seated on the sofa and turned to ask Cheng Wenru once they had finished talking.

“Definitely,” Cheng Wenru crossed her legs and said certainly. “I’m very sure it’s a big boss in the IT industry…”

When she went for the bidding today, most of the IT companies had been discussing the core figures. She wasn’t well-versed in the IT industry, but from their enthusiasm, she could tell that those big bosses weren’t simple.

Nodding, Cheng Jin pondered for a moment and then remained silent.

After a long while, Cheng Wenru felt a little disappointed and wanted to go find Qin Ran. “Is Ran Ran still practicing the violin upstairs?”

“No, she’s working on other things,” Cheng Juan was expressionless and only replied perfunctorily.

“Ok.” She glanced upstairs regretfully. “Then I won’t disturb her.”

Upstairs.

Qin Ran put the flowerpot that Cheng Mu had brought to her on the windowsill.

Then, she logged into her account on the computer and pressed a few keys. It went directly to a video call.

Although it was at night, the other party still picked up quickly.

A middle-aged man appeared on the screen. He was in his study, holding his teacup and staring at her, calm and unruffled. “Big boss, is it my turn?”

Reaching out for the paper bag on the table, Qin Ran smiled. “Yes, that’s right.”

It was Chang Ning on the screen.

“Are you serious?” He sat upright immediately. He had already waited for Qin Ran for two long months.

Flipping through the small bag, Qin Ran took out the black mobile phone from inside. “Would I joke with you?” she said without lifting her head.

“Ok.” Chang Ning stood up with his hands on the table. “Go ahead, where can I see you tomorrow? I’ll set the time and place, or do you want to do that?”

“No need.” Qin Ran pressed the power b.u.t.ton and waited for the mobile phone to load. She looked up at him. “I’ll go to the headquarters directly tomorrow and check on some information as well.”

“Anything you want.” It didn’t matter if she was coming in pa.s.sing as long as it was his turn.

“I’m just informing you.” Qin Ran glanced at the phone. The system had already indicated that the loading was completed. She said calmly, “I’m hanging up first.”

She hung up the video before looking at the new black phone.

This was a prototype design she had given the Yunguang Consortium before returning from Continent M. Its content was a little complicated, so the Yunguang Consortium had taken two months to develop it. The phone was extremely slim and could hardly be felt in her hand.

Qin Ran took out another piece of paper from the paper bag.

Inside was a piece of white A4 paper, with a line of words written on it. Its content stated that the phone had yet to be named, and there was only a poppy flower logo. If it had a name, it would be named poppy. Furthermore, the Yunguang Consortium wanted to develop a line of poppy logos on the EA series of robots aside from mobile phones.

It was just that the cost of robots was high and the technology complicated. The Yunguang Consortium hadn’t released the sale to the public yet, and it was still in the research and development stage. Hence, they had released the mobile phone first.

Smiling, Qin Ran folded the paper and put it into the drawer. She then tried out the new mobile phone—

[Please perform pupil authentication.]

It was still a very mechanical virtual sound.

After authenticating, she connected to the Internet and opened up a webpage casually. With a flick of both hands, the webpage spread like a layer of information and cast a virtual projection in front of her. The color theme of the page was blue.

The opened webpage was also the intelligent information network of the Yunguang Consortium.

Leaning on the back of the chair, Qin Ran rested her chin in her hand and watched the virtual projection.

Then, she thought about it and took out the heavy black cell phone from her backpack. She threw it onto the table. “Look, your younger brother.”

The black phone didn’t light up and only buzzed twice.

As if it was protesting.

Qin Ran ignored it and placed it aside. She took her pajamas and went to take a bath.

She closed the bathroom door.

Two minutes later, the heavy black phone lit up.

At the same time.

In Chang Ning’s house.

He lived in the city center and bought the highest floor. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, he had a bird’s eye view of the hustle and bustle of the city.

But he was obviously not interested in it at this time.

He went out of the study to pour himself another gla.s.s of water. After taking a sip, he sat on the sofa and calmed himself down. He suddenly thought of something and sent another message to Qin Ran—

[Can I tell the others?]

He was naturally talking about the core founders of 129. Other than he and He Chen, the other few founders didn’t know about Qin Ran.

After all, she was too young.

After a while, he received a one-word reply: [Ok.]

Chang Ning immediately switched his account and clicked into a group chat: [The Lone Wolf will come to the headquarters tomorrow. Who is nearby?]

Slag Dragon: [Boss, did you say the wrong name??]

Slag Dragon: [The Lone Wolf?!!]

Slag Dragon: [WTF?!]

Slag Dragon: [?!!]

Slag Dragon: [Shocked.jpg]

It wasn’t the Slag Dragon’s fault for being shocked. 129 was most famous for the five veterans, and among them, the Lone Wolf had successfully reached the pinnacle of the business without any failure. It was very simple—

The ranking among them was obvious. Even Matthew from the Interpol had asked for Lone Wolf to take his order.

Of course, the most straightforward reason was that only the Lone Wolf was a hacker.

The other four had all met in private and were very familiar with each other. But apart from taking orders, the Lone Wolf didn’t expose his name, let alone meet them in real life.

But he suddenly said he would visit the 129 headquarters, so the Slag Dragon almost exploded with this information!

Chang Ning: [I’ll mute you if you keep spamming.]

Morning Bird: [I have an interview outside the city, but I’m coming back tomorrow afternoon.]

Giant Crocodile: [Lone Wolf? My brother is in Beijing? Why didn’t he tell me? I’m at the border. Is he really coming?]

Slag Dragon: [I’m not in Beijing either, but I can rush over at night. Ok, bye. I have to drive over now!]

Slag Dragon went offline.

Giant Crocodile was very depressed. [129 is so lively. I also want to see my brother.]

Morning Bird: […]

These veterans all knew that three years ago, Giant Crocodile had almost been caught by Matthew during a terrorist transaction at the border. If it hadn’t been for Lone Wolf, Chang Ning and Giant Crocodile’s subordinates might have to go to the Interpol prison to rescue him.

Since then, Lone Wolf had been the unilateral big brother of Giant Crocodile.

Chang Ning: [Don’t come. If you do, the big bosses will definitely know. There’ll be too many movements. ]

Giant Crocodile: […]

Chang Ning: [You should be well aware of your business, no? You still want Lone Wolf to save your life?]
