No matter, she just wanted to taste these dishes now.
Ye Zhi picked up her chopsticks and began to sample. Her eyes suddenly lit up. The next moment, without a word, she started to eat ravenously.
Seeing her eat so heartily, Qi Xuan felt for the first time that having good cooking skills was a wonderful thing.
Finally full, Ye Zhi put down her chopsticks and met Qi Xuan's teasing gaze. She said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to treat you to a meal, but I didn't expect you to cook it yourself..."
"It's nothing," Qi Xuan said calmly. "I'm interested in cooking, so it wasn't a bother."
Ye Zhi looked at him with admiration, "I didn't expect you to be able to cook, and to cook so deliciously... You must be very busy usually, how did you manage this?"
"Indeed, I am very busy, so I need some relaxing entertainment in my leisure time," Qi Xuan said calmly. "And when I'm cooking, I don't have to think too much, I can clear my mind, it's a good way to de-stress. Over time, my cooking skills have improved."
Ye Zhi: ...
She was completely convinced. Others cooked for sustenance, but this man cooked purely for entertainment! As expected of the man her father dared not offend, he was indeed extraordinary!
However, this also made her more certain that her choice was not wrong.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhi spoke with a solemn expression, "Young Master Qi, I actually invited you to eat today with ulterior motives. After meeting you, I thought for a long time and decided to muster the courage to tell you..."
Qi Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Ye Zhi's expression with three parts seriousness, three parts persistence, three parts anticipation, and one part shyness, he suddenly felt something was not right.
Could it be... what he was thinking?
He did have some good feelings towards Ye Zhi, which was why he agreed to today's meeting, but he didn't expect it to develop to this point!
"Miss Ye, we've only just met..."
"But I believe in you! You are absolutely worth it!"
"Isn't this... a bit too sudden?"
"I know! But I've thought about it carefully! I don't want to miss you!"
"Miss Ye, don't be impulsive. Perhaps we should both calm down and talk about it later?"
"No! I have to say it now!" Ye Zhi suddenly stood up and walked directly in front of Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan subconsciously leaned back against the chair, and he suddenly felt his heart beating a little faster.
"Young Master Qi, please... with me..." Ye Zhi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Let's cooperate!"
Qi Xuan, who had been thinking about how to refuse, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise: "???"
Did he hear wrong? She said cooperate, not date?! And even if it was cooperation, why the long preamble?
But why did he feel a little disappointed...
"Cooperate on what?" Qi Xuan asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"It's like this!" Ye Zhi pulled over a nearby chair and began to speak fluently, "I want to start an online company focused on online shopping and social networking, and I hope Young Master Qi can invest..."
Qi Xuan had already put his previous emotions aside. He frowned slightly, "Isn't the Ye Corporation willing to invest?"
"Young Master Qi, the Ye Corporation will naturally invest. However, what I am establishing is the first online company in the country, which will become an internet giant, so the Ye Corporation's investment alone is not enough," Ye Zhi said solemnly.
Qi Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. Her ambition surprised him. He tapped his fingers on the table, already analyzing the whole situation in his mind.
"Ou Minghan's Qianbai Network Company's main businesses are also online shopping and communication, and they are far ahead in these two sectors. What makes you think that your newly established small company can directly overtake Qianbai and become the number one in the country?"
"Because of this." Ye Zhi took out her phone and showed it.
"Hmm?" Qi Xuan's eyebrows rose slightly, not quite understanding her meaning.
The corners of Ye Zhi's lips curled up. She was well-prepared, and she also had a secret weapon!
"Young Master Qi, what you said is indeed true, it's difficult to surpass Qianbai on the original track, after all, Qianbai was established early and has already firmly grasped user habits. However, what he possesses are only computer-end users. And the mobile end will be our battlefield, this is a blue ocean!"
Qi Xuan's expression became more serious.
Seeing that he was interested, Ye Zhi's confidence soared.
This was her secret weapon. After transmigrating to this world, she found that the mobile phone system in this world was still in a relatively primitive stage, with various apps not yet released. Although Ou Minghan's Qianbai Company dominated the computer end, he did not pay attention to the development of the mobile end. After all, the overall environment had not yet emerged.
"Young Master Qi, I've been following many mobile phone manufacturers recently. Most of the new generation of flagship phones are equipped with the new mobile system developed by Anguo Company. And this generation of systems can support the development of various apps. If we move social networking and online shopping to mobile phones, wouldn't it have more development potential than the computer end?
After all, not everyone has a computer, and not everyone likes to shop and socialize using a computer. But mobile phones are different, after all, everyone will have a mobile phone for convenient communication."
Qi Xuan calmly stared at Ye Zhi. She was confident and powerful now. Although it was just a hypothetical situation, whatever she said would definitely come true.
"Moreover..." Ye Zhi turned her head and looked at him with a half-smile, "Actually, you're also interested in these things, aren't you? The companies under the Qi family once wanted to invest in Qianbai Company, but were rejected by Qianbai. Don't you want to prove to him that with just one move, you can easily break Qianbai's position?"
"I am very interested in what you've said. However..." Qi Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "I want to know, are you doing all this solely to establish the number one online company in the country, or are you... deliberately targeting Ou Minghan?"
"Both," Ye Zhi said calmly. "I genuinely see great prospects in this industry, but at the same time, I also want to take this opportunity to eliminate him."
Since they were partners, Ye Zhi did not intend to hide anything.
"Do you have a feud?" Qi Xuan asked somewhat unexpectedly, "A romantic dispute?"
"There is indeed a feud, but a romantic dispute is ridiculous," Ye Zhi explained somewhat speechlessly. "He is my sister's boyfriend. I've been investigating him recently, and he has ill intentions and wants to bring down the Ye Corporation. I'm just protecting myself by doing this."
"But he's not simple," Qi Xuan narrowed his eyes. "Besides Qianbai Company, he also has a hidden card in his hand. He keeps a team of thugs who specifically handle his dirty business for him. Aren't you afraid he'll use them against you?"
