Chapter 191 Transaction Successful
Ye Xinghe didn't press Lin Hao about what he had done, knowing that Qiao Lin would eventually tell her anyway.
She tidied her desk and prepared to start working.
This Thursday is the submission deadline for the Sands Cup. She must ensure everything goes perfectly; the design must not be stolen again.
The watermarking method from last time is no longer usable; this time, she needs to come up with a more discreet encryption method.
Ye Xinghe was staring intently at the computer screen when a message notification interrupted her thoughts.
It was sent by Qiao Lin; it was a screenshot of a remittance.
It seems that Ye Mingqi has received the goods and paid the remaining balance.
Ye Xinghe smiled slightly and placed her phone in front of Hua Qingmeng.
Hua Qingmeng tilted her head to look at her, "25? What money?"
Ye Xinghe said in a low voice, "Thank you for providing that treasure."
Hua Qingmeng raised an eyebrow and said casually, "My cost was less than 5. You guys are too greedy, making 20 in profit."
“It’s not 20.” Ye Xinghe held up five fingers. “It’s 45.”
Hua Qingmeng leaned back in her chair and turned to her, "Ye Mingqi even accepted such expensive goods. It seems that the person who asked him for the goods is in a very difficult situation."
Ye Xinghe thought so too; it would be great if she could track Ye Mingqi now. She wanted to see who he was dealing with.
Just then, Ye Xinghe's phone rang again; it was a software program sent by Hua Qingmeng.
"Install it on your phone. You can find the answers to all the questions that are on your mind here."
After Ye Xinghe downloaded and installed the software, he opened it.
Inside was a map-like screen with a red dot moving at a constant speed.
Ye Xinghe pointed to the red dot on the screen, "Ye Mingqi?"
"You installed trackers?"
"It's not just this function." Hua Qingmeng stared at her, a slight twitch at the corner of his lips. "You can explore it yourself."
Su Nanqing walked out of the office and saw the two of them almost touching heads, so she clenched her fists.
Ye Xinghe glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Su Nanqing looking in her direction. It should be time for her to go out and meet Qiao Lin.
"Sister Nan Qing," Ye Xinghe called out to her, "Are you carrying a bag and heading out?"
Hua Qingmeng turned around and glanced at her watch. "It's not lunch break yet. Where is Team Leader Su going?"
Su Nanqing smiled slightly and said calmly, "I have an appointment with someone to discuss some things at noon. I'm worried that it will be crowded during lunch break, so I'll head over a little early."
Hua Qingmeng raised her phoenix eyes slightly, "What are we going to talk about?"
Su Nanqing smiled and said, "The company is holding a bidding conference soon, and a supervision company wants to talk to me. I guess they just want to showcase their company's capabilities."
Hua Qingmeng lowered his eyelashes, his tone drawn out and slow, "Prove your strength..."
"I remember telling you guys in a meeting before the holiday that Lin Hao would be in charge of the bidding process."
"Has Team Leader Su forgotten?"
Su Nanqing's expression froze for a few seconds, but she quickly recovered. "This person specifically sought me out today, insisting on seeing me. I figured Lin Hao was too busy, so it wouldn't hurt for me to go and talk to them. I can also find out more about them so the company can have a reference."
Hua Qingmeng nodded gently, "Where shall we meet?"
Su Nanqing's eyes darted around. "Zhenshui Jiangyang."
Ye Xinghe stared at her from the side; this was not the restaurant she had arranged to meet Qiao Lin at all.
"That restaurant is notorious in Jiangyang for being expensive and having terrible food, and it's also far from the company."
“Sister Nanqing, it takes you more than an hour to drive there and back.”
Su Nanqing looked surprised. "Oh, really? I don't know much about the restaurant they booked. I need to use navigation to find the exact location."
Hua Qingmeng said in a calm tone, "You're paying for this meal. Remember to get an invoice, and get reimbursed by the finance department when you get back."
“Team Leader Su, before the bidding process, all companies should be treated equally, and everyone should have an equal opportunity.”
"Okay, I know," Su Nanqing said with a smile. "I understand this rule."
After leaving the company, Su Nanqing contacted Qiao Lin. She had to go to Jiangyang today. Hua Qingmeng was a very serious person, especially since she had just emphasized that it was absolutely unacceptable if she didn't get the restaurant invoice back today.
When Su Nanqing arrived at the parking lot, Qiao Lin did not reply. She tried calling him, but no one answered.
She could only drive to the place the two had agreed upon, the Secret House Western Restaurant.
After Su Nanqing left, Ye Xinghe informed Qiao Lin to pretend her phone was dead and not to reply to any messages from Su Nanqing.
Then, she moved closer to Hua Qingmeng and said, "Thank you so much for helping me today and making so much money. How about I treat you to lunch?"
"How about eating Western food? There's a really good Western restaurant near the company, and the ambiance is also very nice."
Hua Qingmeng glanced at her and readily agreed, "Okay."
Ye Xinghe checked the time. "We'll rush over as soon as it's lunch break time, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be any seats available at her place at noon."
Hua Qingmeng closed her laptop and tidied up the files on her desk. "Then let's go now."
Ye Xinghe smiled awkwardly, thinking to herself, "What a hypocritical man."
Secret House Western Restaurant is located downstairs from Ye Xinghe's company, a ten-minute walk away.
The interior lighting is somewhat dim, and the partitions between the dining tables are quite high, providing excellent privacy.
However, Ye Xinghe already knew their table number in advance, and sat down next to them when she entered the restaurant.
"Order whatever you like." Ye Xinghe handed over the menu, mentally planning her next move. Although she and Qiao Lin had already made plans, she still felt a little nervous about actually putting them into practice.
Hua Qingmeng pushed the menu back, saying, "You order, I'm fine with anything."
Ye Xinghe suddenly remembered that Hua Qingmeng didn't like to eat meat. This restaurant served all kinds of meat, and even most of the pizzas had meat on them.
But since things have come to this, we can only ask him to make do.
"Give me a salad, their salads are pretty good."
Hua Qingmeng stared at her for two seconds, then said with a half-smile, "You carnivore, why did you order vegetables right away?"
Ye Xinghe scratched his head. "Sorry. I was going to treat you to dinner, but I ended up choosing a place I like. Then I realized that almost all the dishes here are meat."
Hua Qingmeng's lips curved into a deeper smile. It turned out that Ye Xinghe still remembered her dietary preferences. "Then let's try the steak here."
Ye Xinghe smiled sweetly and ordered a few dishes that didn't have much meat.
Just as they finished ordering, an unidentified object flew down from above and landed right on Hua Qingmeng's plate.
