"Grandma... Why did you call? Lately..." Yuan Meng was just about to act like a good daughter - in - law and greet Yu Luqing, but was mercilessly interrupted by Yu Luqing.
"When are you going to get pregnant! If it weren't for the fortune - teller saying that you'd bring good luck to Qianchen in our family, why would the Ling family have married you! You'd better give me a baby right away. I don't care about your difficulties or how you do it. I only care about the result! You're an orphan. If I hadn't been willing to take you in, who else would want you? I'm warning you. If you don't get pregnant within half a year, you'll get out of the Ling family!"
Yuan Meng on this end of the phone held the phone far away from herself. She picked it up again only after the voice on the receiver died down. "Waaaaaah, Grandma, I know... I also want to have Qianchen's baby... Waaaaaah! Grandma, I'll work hard... Grandma, don't be angry, waaaaaah. I'll definitely convince Qianchen, waaaaaah."
Yu Luqing felt a bit creeped out by this familiar crying. She looked down on Yuan Meng, but had to admit that Yuan Meng's "crying act" was really "unstoppable".
"Stop crying. It's so annoying! I'm hanging up. Hurry up and get pregnant!" After saying that, Yu Luqing quickly hung up the phone as if avoiding a plague god.
Yuan Meng thought that she couldn't let down Grandma's painstaking effort of urging her on the phone. She shouldn't be the only one bothered, so she called Ling Qianchen.
"Husband, husband. Are you... Are you busy?" Yuan Meng said timidly.
"What's the matter?" Ling Qianchen frowned when he saw it was Yuan Meng's call and didn't want to answer at first. But then he thought of her desolate look after having a nightmare last night, and somehow answered the call.
"Waaaaaah, husband! Will you come back tonight? Can we... Can we sleep together tonight? Waaaaaah, I..."
"What are you up to again? I've said that I'll never sleep with you. Why don't you give up?" Ling Qianchen rubbed his eyebrows and started to regret answering the call.
"Grandma just called me. Grandma said... If I don't get pregnant, she'll drive me away, waaaaaah. I don't want to leave you, husband. Husband... Husband, come back... Please, husband, waaaaaah."
Yuan Meng kept bombarding Ling Qianchen with her crying, looking extremely aggrieved. In reality, Yuan Meng was lying in bed very comfortably, with her two long, white legs swinging, showing her owner's happy mood.
"Stop! Don't cry. I'll talk to her and tell her not to force you to get pregnant. Just stay at home quietly and don't cause me any trouble." Ling Qianchen was so annoyed by Yuan Meng that he had no choice but to call and warn Yu Luqing not to force Yuan Meng anymore.
"Hey, life is so comfortable for me! I don't have to worry about food or accommodation, and there's someone for me to play with. Humph, Ling Qianchen, you heartless man, you're still no match for me." Yuan Meng was in a great mood after hanging up the phone. She leisurely went about her own business. "Life without that annoying man is really great."
Yuan Meng just enjoyed her leisure time like this, and it was already afternoon before she knew it.
"Mr. Ling, just now the Liu family called and said that their person - in - charge is back and is available to meet and discuss the contract at any time."
Ling Qianchen was just worrying about how to find an excuse to see Ai Yue today, and this opportunity came.
"Tell Manager Liu that I'll go to talk to him about the contract in half an hour."
"Okay, Mr. Ling." As soon as the assistant left, Ling Qianchen immediately dialed Yuan Meng's phone.
"Ai Yue, just received a message from the Liu family that their person - in - charge is back. I've made an appointment with him to meet at the Liu family company in half an hour. Are you at Luo Yishan's place? I'll pick you up."
Yuan Meng on the other end was at the Ling mansion at the moment, so she had no chance to enjoy this free ride.
"Don't bother to pick me up, Mr. Ling. I'm not at Luo Yishan's place. Coincidentally, I'm not far from the Liu family company. Let's meet downstairs of the Liu family company in half an hour." After saying that, Yuan Meng quickly hung up the phone, not giving Ling Qianchen a chance to reply.
"Hanging up so quickly. I'm not going to refuse anyway." Ling Qianchen thought of Ai Yue and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He quickly packed up his things and walked out. He couldn't wait to see Ai Yue.
Yuan Meng didn't hang up Ling Qianchen's phone on purpose. It was just that the Ling mansion was quite a distance from the Liu family company. She still needed time to put on makeup to look like Ai Yue and disguise herself. She didn't have time to listen to Ling Qianchen's nonsense.
Half an hour later, Yuan Meng and Ling Qianchen met at the entrance of the Liu family company and then went upstairs together to find the person - in - charge to discuss the contract.
"Mr. Ling, Miss Ai, please sit down, please sit down. Xiao Wang, quickly make tea for Mr. Ling and Miss Ai." Manager Liu greeted Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng politely. Under his honest - looking face was a shrewd mind. One could tell at a glance that he must be a shrewd person. No wonder the Liu family sent him as the person - in - charge for such an important project.
"Manager Liu, there's no need to be so polite. We're here today mainly to talk about the network security system. Miss Ai is a top - notch hacker with super - strong bug - fixing ability. Therefore, we hope to use your company as a pilot to try and promote our network security system. You can completely rest assured about Miss Ai's technical level. If this contract is signed, it will be a win - win - win situation for all of us."
When working, Ling Qianchen immediately switched to the domineering CEO mode. His preemptive speech firmly grasped the initiative in his own hands.
"I understand what you mean, Mr. Ling. If this project is done well, it will surely be a win - win - win situation. But... Could Miss Ai please explain in detail how this network security system operates?"
"It's normal for Manager Liu to ask in detail. The specific operation of the network security system I've planned may be different from the usual way of installing a whole set of systems. First, I need to enter the internal security system of your company to fix some unnecessary bugs, and then replace some technologically backward parts. In this way, the final security level will be many times higher than that of the current network security systems on the market. Of course, Manager Liu, the reasons why no one in the industry has done this technology are that, on one hand, the technical requirements are too high and few people can meet them, and on the other hand, there are privacy issues that require sufficient trust."
After the introduction, Yuan Meng looked at Ling Qianchen. It was better for Ling Qianchen to handle things other than the professional aspects.
"Regarding privacy issues, you can rest assured, Manager Liu. We'll also write all the relevant matters clearly in the contract. In terms of technology, Miss Ai is definitely a top - notch talent in the industry. You can also investigate this. For the rest, I wonder if Manager Liu has any other doubts?"
With top - notch technical support and the reputation of the Ling family as a guarantee, Ling Qianchen couldn't think of a reason for the Liu family to reject this win - win - win project.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, Miss Ai. Although this project is good, the risks are also great. I don't dare to make a decision like this. Could you please allow us some time to consider and then give you a reply, Mr. Ling?"
