Chapter 280 Angler

Li Qiang gritted his teeth, he was trying to call Wang Rua again, but the call didn't go through.

Wang Ruo must have smashed the phone, or threw it out of the building.

He really was unable to convince her to come back. It was really bad for Li Qiang. Now, he could only do the thing, which made him dreadful the most, just to make Wang Ruo come back and be safe next to him.

"Bring me to the Old Mansion," he told his chauffeur after finally making up his mind.

After a few minutes, Li Qiang felt the car came to a halt. He immediately got off the car and walked into the old building in front of him.

It was Li Family's Old Mansion that was built in the 1800's. It was old, yet the years seemed to make it more elegant, more luxurious.

This mansion was set behind big, intimidating, wrought-iron gates. The main mansion had a five-story luxurious living space and a two-story guest house. This mansion also had a pool house with a mirrored art deco bar, specifically made for his grandfather.

"Welcome home Young Master." a dozen of servants greeted him when he entered the main foyer of the mansion.

Li Qiang nodded at them in response, and just made his way towards the main stairs. He had already known where his grandfather stayed, so it was not hard for him to locate him.

"You called for me?" he asked, the moment he opened the door to his grandfather's study.

"It is the time of the year again," the old man answered him directly. He was an eighty-year-old wrinkly man. However, he was still active and would even join Pottery/Ceramics Classes with his friends sometimes.

"Do we really have to do this?" he asked as his mood worsened. How came this had to happen exactly when Wang Ruo was away. He still needed to find her and protect her.

"Your father has also asked the same thing before he was killed," the old man said. "Do you want to become like him?"

"No... "

"Good. It's good that it's clear," the old man said, as he gestured for his grandson to go.

Seeing that, Li Qiang suppressed his rage before walking out of the room. The Li Family looked so luxurious on the outside, but just like every other rich and influential family, they also had their dark secrets.

Secrets, which could topple nations and could kill leaders.

With these in mind, Li Qiang strode towards his car and instructed his chauffeur to drive him away from this place.

.....

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was having a staring contest with the beautiful young woman in front of her. This staring contest had been going on for minutes since no one wanted to back out.

"Okay, I give up!" the other woman across Jiang Yue raised her hands. "However, I am not here to have a staring contest with you. I am here to represent the Angler, as we are interested in collaborating with your AI Project. Please, take a look at our proposal," the woman said confidently. Angler had been around longer, than Wang Empire. In fact, they were constantly number one in the industry. However, Wang Empire's Devouring Virus and some other innovations came, crushing them like a deadly flood.

"No."

"I'm sorry?"

"I said... I will not collaborate with you." Jiang Yue declared. "This meeting is over. Thank you for your interest though."

"CEO Jiang! You are clearly wasting my time. You haven't even looked at the proposal!" she exclaimed.

"What was your name again?" Jiang Yue asked.

"My name is Qin Fen I am the head...."

"Miss Qin, you haven't informed my secretary that you would submit a proposal. If you did, she would have already told you that we do not collaborate." Jiang Yue said. "Now, both mine and your time have already been, please leave. Thank you for coming."

"This... You are so rude! You think you can finish this project alone?" Qin Fen got up and stood across Jiang Yue, her hand on her hips, as if she was scolding her.

"No... I can't."

"Then why don't you want to accept our help?"

"I need a team to finish this. I can't just do it alone."

"You..."

"Please leave or I would have to ask for the security personnel to help you leave this building." Jiang Yue said, feeling exhausted.

Stupid people just keep on coming to bug her already chaotic mind.

"You will regret this!" Qin Fen said, before storming out of the room. Did that Jiang Yue think that Angler couldn't match up to their experts? Qin Fen grinned evilly, as a plan formed inside her mind. Seemed like she failed her mission to start a collaboration with Jiang Yue. However, she could always compensate Quan Lei with some good time, so she was not really worried about it.

The important thing now was to tell Quan Lei about her brilliant plan.
