Chapter 414: 414 Successful Acquisition
She was completely unaware of everything that had taken place because Dongfang Mu acted incredibly gentle and gentlemanly towards her, as always.
At ten in the morning, Cui Shuqian arrived again, but this time she didn’t come alone. The boss of Wanann Finance, Wan An, accompanied her.
Cui Shuqian’s attitude was softer than before. She smiled at Dongfang Mu and said, “Young Master Mu, my uncle and I are here about the Wanann Finance acquisition. You’ve proven your abilities to manage and operate it effectively.” Dongfang Mu didn’t want to see Cui Shuqian’s smile at all.
While many find others’ smiles warm and healing, the sharp teeth Cui Shuqian revealed when she smiled caused an indelible injury to the eyes and soul.
His own attitude was better than before: “Welcome Miss Cui and Mr. Wan. I did act inappropriately when I barged into Mr. Wan’s meeting room last time, but my desire for the acquisition was sincere.”
Wan An quickly replied, “It’s an honor that Young Master Mu took interest in my finance firm. As the Shengling Group has been unable to fix our persistent system issues, I had no choice but to seek your help. Can your team assist us through these tough times?”
“How about I take my team to your headquarters and see for ourselves?”
“We welcome Young Master Mu and his team to Wanann Finance!”
Wan An appeared grateful. He knew all along that the frequent system crashes on the company’s network were the work of Dongfang Mu, but he had no proof. However, as long as his skills are as impressive as he claims, he’d let him proceed with the takeover.
Cui Shuqian already informed him that the matrimony between the Cui and Lu families had fallen through, and at present, Dongfang Mu was the only choice left for her to ally with through marriage.
Joining the Eastern Empire Group was more advantageous than joining the Shengling Group.
Secretary Wan gathered the entire team immediately, which included Qiao Yin. The seven-person team drove to Wanann Finance.
In reality, the other engineers didn’t need to go. Dongfang Mu only brought them along to conceal the real problem-solver, Qiao Yin’s capabilities.
She had already become Dongfang Mu’s trump card and her abilities couldn’t be exposed casually.
At half past eleven in the morning.
The system of Wanann Finance started working again. After the testing, it functioned stably. As Qiao Yin improved the firewall, it was difficult for other hackers to infiltrate their system.
The acquisition contract was signed on the spot.
Wanann Finance officially became a part of Eastern Empire.
At noon, Dongfang Mu rented a seaside restaurant to celebrate the success with everyone.
The staff of Wanann Finance and Cui Shuqian were also invited.
During the meal, the atmosphere was pleasant. Dongfang Mu shared a drink with everyone except Qiao Yin.
Qiao Yin peacefully played the role of a pretty face by his side, smiling more and talking less.
However, Cui Shuqian found Qiao Yin standing next to Dongfang Mu annoying, so she used an excuse to take Dongfang Mu away and forced him into a drinking contest.
Qiao Yin didn’t follow them this time and sat in a corner of the restaurant, quietly enjoying her meal and never glancing in Dongfang Mu and Cui Shuqian’s direction.
She knew that the marriage alliance between Cui Shuqian and the Lu family was no longer possible.
If what Qiao Haidong said is true, then Lu Lingche is about to marry Lan Yuyi.
If Cui Shuqian wanted to marry into a prominent family, Dongfang Mu was her only choice.
If she doesn’t marry Dongfang Mu, she would have to marry someone from a family smaller than the Cuis.
Her fervor today was far more than the last time she came looking for Dongfang Mu.
Dongfang Mu didn’t avoid her either and was quite warm to her, smiling all the while.
Qiao Yin felt that their marriage might soon be a reality.
Dongfang Mu used to call Cui Shuqian “hatchetfish,” but today he called her Miss Cui, and by mealtime, he had started calling her “Shuqian..”
