Chapter 88 - 88 They are Here
88 They are Here
“Boss, something major has happened!” The two of them avoided the classroom door and walked towards the teacher’s office. Zhao Na’s voice was solemn.
“What exactly happened?” Before Li Chengqian came to school, he had instructed that unless it was something very serious, Zhao Na mustn’t come to the school to look for him.
Since Zhao Na was here, it meant that the matter was something she could not handle.
“Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, OPPO, VIVO, Motorola—the three largest internet companies and the four largest mobile phone companies—have all come to our company.” Zhao Na’s voice was a little agitated.
“Among the people who came, the ones with the lowest positions are the vice presidents of the corporation. These are all big shots in the internet and mobile phone industries, they are super influential and everything they do can shake the industry.”
“They are all waiting to meet you at our company’s reception room.”
“Boss, with your current wealth, why are you still attending classes at school? With your programming talent, you are better off managing Divine Dragon Software Company and developing more powerful software.” This was what puzzled Zhao Na the most. Li Chengqian was already so wealthy, but he still came to school to attend classes.
Coming to class was simply a waste of time!
“You don’t understand!” Li Chengqian shook his head. His foundation was the Master of All Professions game, and he needed to take on professions. Now was not the time for him to fool around. Even if he wanted to do so, he had to wait until he had taken on the University Student profession.
“Education is the foundation of everything. Only those who study hard will have a future.”
“Alright, you’re the boss. Whatever you say!” Zhao Na rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian flirtatiously and then got down to business. “Boss, quickly get back to the company with me to deal with these people.”
“I still have class, so I won’t be going back to the company. You’re in charge of receiving these people. Ask them why they came to our company and send me an email.” Li Chengqian didn’t need to ask. He knew why these people came to the Divine Dragon Software Company.
If he was right, they have come to buy the Divine Dragon Optimization App!
The companies that came today had all removed the Divine Dragon Optimization App from their app stores and have also issued a security warning on the App.
“Ah? Boss, you must not act on impulse!” Zhao Na thought that she had heard wrongly. After she confirmed that Li Chengqian had said this, she hurriedly tried to persuade him.
“Boss, although these companies do appear to be bullying us by removing our Divine Dragon Optimization App from their app stores and by issuing a security warning on the App.”
“But these companies are all internet giants. They have terrifyingly vast resources.”
“You’d better meet them. Our company is new. If these companies are ruthless to us, we won’t be able to withstand their methods.” Zhao Na advised earnestly. If they offended all the giants who came today, Divine Dragon Software Company would be in trouble.
To put it simply, if Baidu blocked words related to Divine Dragon Software in their search engine, with Divine Dragon Software’s current popularity, it would disappear from the internet.
“Zhao Na, listen to me and do as I say.” Li Chengqian really wasn’t being impulsive. He had his own considerations.
Li Chengqian’s goal was really to give these big companies and internet giants the cold shoulder.
“I have to go to class. I don’t have time to see them.”
“Firstly, go figure out what they want and then email me.”
“I’ll handle the rest accordingly.” Li Chengqian’s tone was very firm. After giving his instructions, he looked at Zhao Na, who was frowning tightly, and comforted her. “Zhao Na, I can tell you for sure that they came to beg us this time.”
“So you don’t have to worry about what they’ll do to our company!”
“Zhao Na, you can be more assertive. The ball is in our court now. They’re the ones begging us.”
“Alright, that’s all. I’m going back to class.”
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the classroom.
“It’s your company anyway. If you don’t care, why should I worry about you?!” Zhao Na stomped her feet angrily and went back to the company.
Li Chengqian had just returned to the classroom when the boys’ envious gazes immediately focused on him.
Then, their expectant gazes locked out of the door, but they did not see the beautiful Zhao Na anymore. Immediately, they sighed wistfully.
“Li Chengqian, the person who came to look for you just now is beautiful. Who is she?” Jian Qingli’s voice was sour. She had thought that with her beauty, her proximity to Li Chengqian, and her initiative to pursue him, she would definitely be able to woo him.
After seeing Zhao Na today, she was no longer so confident.
“It’s someone from our company,” Li Chengqian replied calmly. Then, he went back to the book.
“Oh!” Jian Qingli was very dissatisfied with Li Chengqian’s answer, but she had no choice.
She rolled her eyes. “Li Chengqian, what’s the use of your company’s newly released Divine Dragon Optimization App software? Why was it taken down by the other companies?”
She had been listening attentively to the conversation between Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng earlier. She had long wanted to use this topic to chat with Li Chengqian, but she never got the chance.
“To optimize the performance of cell phones. The App was removed from the app store because I have affected their interests…” Li Chengqian answered concisely.
Just as Jian Qingli was about to continue asking, Teacher Tian Wenming walked into the classroom with a serious expression. “Quiet, class starts now…”
“Stop talking. Pay attention in class!” Li Chengqian found an excuse, and Jian Qingli finally quietened down.
…
Meanwhile, Zhao Na went back to the company after receiving Li Chengqian’s instructions.
In the reception room, the people from the various companies were talking quietly.
At this moment, Zhao Na pushed open the door and entered the reception room. She gave a simple opening speech. “Friends, on behalf of Divine Dragon Software Company, I welcome you.”
“All of you are high-ranking executives of your company, but you have so kindly visited us. It’s our honor.”
“All of you have busy schedules. I apologize for making you wait the entire morning.”
“According to our boss’s instructions, in order not to waste everyone’s time, we will cut to the chase.”
“Please follow me to the conference room and explain your intentions.” After a simple opening speech, Zhao Na made a gesture inviting everyone.
“Director Zhao, where’s your boss?” Zhang Qinglan of OPPO asked with an imperceptible frown.
The others also looked at Zhao Na because Zhang Qinglan had asked what everyone was thinking. What they wanted to discuss was not something that a low-ranking woman like Zhao Na could make decisions on.
They needed Li Chengqian to be here to make a decision.
“Everyone, I’m sorry. Our boss has something very important to do and can’t come over.” Li Chengqian’s original words were that ‘I still have class and don’t have time to see them’. Zhao Na naturally couldn’t repeat what Li Chengqian actually said. Everyone would be offended.
“If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly.” Zhao Na kept a professional smile on her face.
“Director Zhao, when can your boss come over?” Zhang Qinglan’s eyes were filled with contempt. Zhao Na was in no position to discuss a matter that involved hundreds of millions.
“Director Zhao, please help us talk to your boss. We really have something very important to discuss with him,” the representative of Heyme Corporation said very politely.
“Director Zhao, you need to help us. Our chairman has ordered us to see your boss. If we don’t manage to meet him, we will be fired when we get back,” the Executive Vice President of Huawei Corporation said with a bitter smile.
“Director Zhao, we’re from Baidu…”
“Please be quiet and listen to me.” Zhao Na kept a professional expression on her face. “In order to save everyone’s time, if you need to talk to our boss directly, please give us your company name and contact information. When our boss has the time, we will call you one by one and invite you over.”
“If you feel that you can tell me, please follow me to the conference room.” After Zhao Na finished speaking, she instructed a young girl who had just joined the company to serve everyone and she walked towards the conference room.
Everyone present was experienced in the business world. Although Zhao Na didn’t show it directly, this series of arrangements indicated to everyone that she was upset!
“Hey, this woman has a temper. Li Chengqian, a 17-year-old boy, can actually control such an aggressive staff. He’s really not simple.” Zhang Qinglan shook his head with a smile, but he didn’t take offense.
“This President Zhao is too young. She’s rash and immature. To think that she is upset over something so minor. If I can acquire Divine Dragon Software Company, the first thing I’ll do would be to transfer her to be my secretary so I can personally train her.” The representative from Tencent was a middle-aged man in his forties. His eyes lit up as he looked at Zhao Na’s voluptuous figure.
Most of the people who came didn’t take Zhao Na seriously.
