Chapter 40 An Either-Or Choice

"… I hope to cooperate with you both."

Hearing her say this, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Zheng were both quite surprised. Their expressions grew even stranger when they learned that Ye Zhi's new company would focus on social networking and shopping.

However, when Ye Zhi mentioned that she was preparing to develop mobile applications using the new mobile system and hoped to leverage...

As soon as she finished speaking, Ou Minghan emerged from a VIP room with a foreign man, engaged in cheerful conversation.

Zhang Yuan and Zhao Zheng's expressions were understandably grim, as the foreign man was the overall head of company H assigned to China.

This meant Ye Zhi was correct; for Ou Minghan, company H's mobile phones were the better choice, and they were merely a backup.

Zhao Zheng cleared his throat and chuckled, trying to salvage the situation, "That's understandable. Brand H phones are indeed more popular. But even if they cooperate with company H, it doesn't mean they won't be willing to cooperate with us. Let's go have a chat with Mr. Ou later."

Ye Zhi's expression was indifferent. She knew they still held illusions about Ou Minghan, but while they understood business, they didn't understand Ou Minghan. For Ou Minghan, he would only cooperate with the strongest in the industry. As for anything else… they would have to beg him, to eagerly seek his cooperation!

What's more, company H had always wanted to further increase its market share and suppress the survival space of brands M and W, so they might not agree to Ou Minghan cooperating with them.

Ou Minghan saw off the representative from company H. His gaze swept over and landed on Ye Zhi. The thought that Zhou Cheng Yuan's move had been completely thwarted made Ou Minghan's eyes turn even colder.

"Mr. Ou, we meet again," Zhao Zheng greeted with a gentle smile. "Our last meeting was at the Kyoto Technology Exhibition three months ago. We didn't get to chat much with you then."

Ou Minghan looked coldly at Zhao Zheng and Zhang Yuan before him. He naturally recognized them, but he had just noticed that Ye Zhi seemed to be discussing something with them, and they were getting along quite well.

Since they were Ye Zhi's friends, he saw no reason to be overly cordial.

"Is there something, Director Zhao?" Ou Minghan asked coldly.

Zhao Zheng's smile faltered. Ou Minghan's distance made him feel as though he were offering a warm welcome to a cold shoulder.

However, having reached his current position, he was not someone to get upset over minor matters.

"Nothing much, just saw you and wanted to chat," he said, slightly retracting his smile and asking casually, "I heard Mr. Ou is developing mobile applications recently?"

"What? You want to cooperate with me?" Ou Minghan narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Zheng: ...

Although he was good-tempered, he was genuinely annoyed. Cooperation required mutual affection to be enjoyable and smooth. Why did it feel now as if they were mere sycophants, eagerly seeking to collaborate with him?

"I was just a little surprised and asked casually," Zhao Zheng's attitude turned completely cold.

Suddenly, Ou Minghan's phone rang.

He glanced at the screen, his expression shifting slightly. He immediately turned and walked a few steps away, pressing the answer button.

"Brother, I feel so unwell, I can barely breathe. Come to the hospital quickly and keep me company…"

Ou Tiantian's voice came from the phone. Ou Minghan frowned, hesitating for a moment.

It seemed that Zhao Zheng and Zhang Yuan also wanted to cooperate with him. Although he hadn't intended to before, since they had approached him proactively, he didn't mind having a few more partners.

He said in a low voice, "Tiantian, I'm in the middle of a business discussion. Take your medicine first and listen to the doctor…"

"You're lying!" Ou Tiantian cried out, her voice filled with grievance. "You clearly went to the banquet with Ye Qin Ya tonight! You just want to be with her and don't want to be with me. You think she's more important than me, right? Then don't bother with me, just let me die!"
