Chapter 375 Hidden merit and fame
When Yuan Yangyang left the mall, Ling Jianyang was carrying bags full of jewelry he had bought for her.
In addition to the complete set of gold jewelry, there were also two very beautiful sets of diamond jewelry, which Yuan Yangyang acquired at Ling Jianyang's insistence. One set was made of pink diamonds, and the other was made of the highest grade colorless diamonds. With their exquisite designs, they were truly magnificent.
On her way home, Yuan Yangyang was absent-minded and didn't know how to start the conversation.
[I can't just tell Yang-gege directly, "I want to steal the male lead's opportunities and snatch the investment he's trying to get, can I?!"]
I just met Yang today, and I'm already asking about his family's business projects. Is that a bad idea?
[If the Yuan family also had an industry in artificial intelligence, that would be great. Then I could legitimately use the guise of gaining experience to openly compete with the male lead for projects.]
As Yuan Yangyang was struggling with her decision, Ling Jianyang suddenly spoke up and asked, "Yangyang, do you know anything about Qiao Zhendong from the hospital?"
Yuan Yangyang:......
"I heard he's a big investor."
[He's a big shot, everyone knows him, but before I knew him he didn't know me. Now, finally I've made my name known to him.]
Ling Jianyang: "Yes, Yangyang is right. Qiaozhen Dong has a sharp eye; he rarely fails when he sets his sights on a project."
"That's for sure. With resources, connections, and money, there's nothing you can't do, only things you don't want to do."
If he sets his sights on something, even a pile of shit can be transformed into something extraordinary, the most unique pile of shit.
[Isn't the male lead Gu Changqi's project just that unique pile of shit? It only took off because he hitched a ride on Qiao Zhendong's coattails, and his classmates all achieved considerable success as well.]
[Clearly, their project wasn't the best, and the project only existed because they plagiarized other people's ideas.]
Yuan Yangyang fell into deep thought.
I remember that the junior they plagiarized was a genius in artificial intelligence, far more talented than these mediocre people. His software design was also outstanding, but he couldn't find good investors because he lacked connections.
Furthermore, given the illegitimate nature of the project's origins, they worried that their junior might expose their plagiarism. After securing investment from Qiao Zhendong, they spared no effort in suppressing their junior, relentlessly sabotaging him when he sought investment, wishing they could crush him into the mud.
During this period, they frequently used the name of Qiaozhen East to intimidate and bully others.
Those who didn't understand thought it was at Qiao Zhendong's behest, so no one dared to invest in their junior, and they wished they could stay far away from him, for fear of angering Qiao Zhendong.
This led to setbacks for the younger student when he later tried to find a job.
A promising young talent was trampled into obscurity by the protagonist and his partner, ultimately fading into obscurity.
To be honest, although Qiao Zhendong was unaware of the situation, he couldn't completely absolve himself of responsibility. After all, if it weren't for Qiao Zhendong's reputation as his savior, his junior wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate.
This is probably what they mean by, "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."
Yuan Yangyang was lost in thought when she heard Ling Jianyang speak.
"Tomorrow's tea party should be an investment promotion conference hosted by Mr. Qiao. If you have a project that you want Mr. Qiao to invest in, tomorrow is a good opportunity."
"Judging from his attitude towards you today, as long as the project isn't a complete mess... cough cough..."
Ling Jianyang immediately shut his mouth, turned his head away, and refused to look at Yuan Yangyang.
Damn!
I almost got led astray by Yangyang.
Yuan Yangyang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
Ling Jianyang: "It's nothing. I just wanted to say that as long as the project isn't too bad, he'll give you face because you saved his daughter."
[Hmph, what's so great about investment? Qiao Zhendong should be thanking me!]
If I were to steal the male lead's opportunity, I would indirectly help Qiao Zhendong, sparing him a burden of sin.
[Thinking about it this way, I'm really his lucky star. It's a pity he doesn't know, otherwise I would definitely have squeezed him for a good amount of money!]
Yuan Yangyang felt like a great person who had kept his achievements hidden, and suddenly she felt very noble.
Ling Jianyang's eyes softened as he continued, "I've heard that Qiaozhen East is interested in exploring new avenues and is paying a lot of attention to artificial intelligence."
Yuan Yangyang's eyes sparkled as she finally found a chance to speak, "Brother Yang, does your family have any research in this area? If we want to attract investment..."
Ling Jianyang couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching Yuan Yangyang's cheek. "We do have projects in that area, but we have ample funds and don't need to attract investment."
Yuan Yangyang said with some regret, "Oh? Is that so!"
"That's true. The Ling family is large and wealthy, so they certainly don't lack money. There's no need to give up the project for nothing."
Ling Jianyang did not explain that the project did not belong to the Ling family, but to his own company.
Yuan Yangyang doesn't want Gu Changqi to get investment, so he'll help her achieve it; there's more than one way to go than snatching investment.
Since Yuan Yangyang didn't mention Gu Changqi's matter, he would just pretend he didn't know and focus on getting things done.
Ling Jianyang escorted Yuan Yangyang directly to the entrance of the Yuan family villa before leaving.
This scene was witnessed clearly by the Yuan family, who had been waiting for a long time.
