The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 613 - 610: Technology Transfer

Ling Chen looked at Nanrong Hao with a puzzled expression and asked, "What’s the matter? Make it clear."

"They’ve all gone to the company. I heard from my cousin that it seems a very important guest has arrived at the company, and they got there yesterday. Since yesterday until now, both sister and cousin have stayed at the company and haven’t come back."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen thought it odd. What could be so important that neither of them has gone back home.

"I’ll go to the company to check on them. Do you want to come with me?"

"Let’s go, I’ll drive."

Leaving the Nanrong residence, Ling Chen and Nanrong Hao got into the car and drove straight out of Wealthy Manor towards the headquarters of Hongyu Group.

In about half an hour, the two arrived at the underground parking garage.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and Ling Chen, with Nanrong Hao, arrived at the company’s top floor, only to find the office desk by the wall empty. Usually, Wang Lan works there, but today is not Sunday, nor is it mealtime yet—Wang Lan was unexpectedly missing, with no clue where she might have gone.

As they pondered, the two approached the CEO’s office door and reached out to push it open. However, at that moment, the door of the office was opened from the inside.

"Mr. Ling, Mr. Nanrong!"

Ling Chen looked at Wang Lan inside the door, cracked a slight smile, and said, "I thought you had taken the day off. Is the CEO and Miss Su in there?"

"Miss Su is tending to matters with the guest; the CEO is resting in the room," replied Wang Lan, stifling a yawn and rubbing her dark circles, "We’ve all been busy overnight and hardly slept. Miss Su is worried about the CEO’s health, so she let her rest first."

Ling Chen curiously asked, "What guest?"

It must be a significant matter if they were busy all night.

Wang Lan shook her head, "I don’t know who that person is, but the CEO is being very polite to them, not daring to offend at all. Moreover, that person is so rude, acting as if this place belongs to them, bossing people around without any disregard for the CEO."

Hearing Wang Lan’s complaints, Ling Chen grew even more curious about the guest’s identity. Who could it be that even Nanrong Wanqing would show deference to and not dare to offend?

After a moment of thought, Ling Chen said, "Haozi, you wait outside for a bit; I’ll go in and check on your sister."

With that, Ling Chen pushed the door open and went into the office, heading straight for the private rest area at the back. Upon opening the room’s door, he saw Nanrong Wanqing lying on the single bed, covered with a thin blanket, beside which a wheelchair was placed.

According to Wang Lan, Nanrong Wanqing had not been resting for long and was already deep asleep, indicating she must have been extremely tired the night before.

Ling Chen walked on tiptoe to the bedside and admired the delicate features of Nanrong Wanqing’s beautiful face. The sleeping Nanrong Wanqing looked just like a three-year-old child, with rosy cheeks like tempting red apples, inciting the desire to take a bite.

Listening to her faint breathing, Ling Chen pulled the blanket up a bit to cover her exposed body and then took a few fleece coats out of the wardrobe to lay over the blanket, preventing Nanrong Wanqing from catching a cold.

Originally, he wanted to ask Nanrong Wanqing for a clear explanation, but seeing that she was already asleep, Ling Chen didn’t have the heart to disturb her. After a night of hard work, she deserved a good rest.

Leaving the rest area, Ling Chen stepped outside the office and asked, "Lan, where did Miss Su take the guest?"

"It seems like they went to the finance office."

Ling Chen nodded, then called Nanrong Hao and went straight to the elevator to the floor where the finance office was located.

Before entering the finance office, Ling Chen saw Su Lin through the transparent glass of the finance office. At that moment, Su Lin was talking non-stop beside two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes. Nearby, several finance staff members were typing on their keyboards, printing documents.

Nanrong Hao took the lead, pushed open the door of the finance office, and welcomed Ling Chen in.

"Ling Chen?"

Seeing Ling Chen’s arrival, Su Lin was a bit surprised and hurried over, asking, "What brings you here?"

"I heard you’ve been busy all night and haven’t gone home, so I brought Haozi to check on you." After speaking, Ling Chen’s gaze shifted, sizing up the two men in suits. At that moment, they were also observing him, their eyes revealing a sharpness.

"Who are these two?"

"They are from the military."

The military?

Ling Chen was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his Mo Che-like pupils. What were military people doing here?

With thoughts racing, Ling Chen strode forward and asked, "Gentlemen, which department do you belong to?"

One of the men in suits looked down his nose at Ling Chen with an air of arrogance, responding indifferently, "What’s it to you?"

"The chairman of Hongyu Group is my future wife, so tell me, does it concern me?"

"So, you are that Ling Chen."

"You know me?"

"Not personally, but when we came here, we were instructed that if we encounter you, to convey a message: don’t meddle in things you shouldn’t. We are handling national affairs. If you do something harmful to the national interest, don’t blame us for not being polite."

"National interest?"

Ling Chen frowned and looked back at Su Lin, asking, "What are they trying to do?"

Su Lin didn’t say anything, just handed a document to Ling Chen. After skimming it for a moment, Ling Chen’s face fell. He turned back sharply to face the two men in suits, his tone growing colder as he said, "This is your so-called national interest? This looks more like robbery to me."

Originally, under Ling Chen’s intermediation, Hongyu Group and the military had signed a contract to share exoskeleton armor technology. According to the contract, the military allowed Hongyu Group to build a military factory to produce exoskeleton armors for military equipment. However, for some reasons, Nanrong Wanqing abandoned the idea of establishing the military factory and instead transferred the production rights to the military, with Hongyu Group only responsible for collecting a certain profit each year.

But the document Su Lin had just given to Ling Chen was a transfer contract. Hongyu Group was transferring all the rights to use and produce the exoskeleton armor technology to the military, essentially letting the military buy out this technological patent in one go. If the military’s price was reasonable, Ling Chen would have no objections. But the problem was that the price on the transfer contract was just a few billion. Given the advanced nature of the exoskeleton armor technology, this price was practically daylight robbery.

"No, I cannot accept this."

One of the men in suits coldly said, "Ling Chen, whether you accept it or not doesn’t matter to me. What’s key is that Miss Nanrong has already agreed."

Agreed?

Ling Chen looked at Su Lin baffled, asking, "Is this true?"

Su Lin nodded helplessly and said, "Wanqing did indeed agree." As she spoke, Su Lin glanced at the two men in suits, leaned slightly forward, and whispered faintly, "Originally Wanqing didn’t agree, but I don’t know what they said, and she actually accepted."
