Lu Sen directly refused.
Meng Jingwei frowned, lowered her head in thought, and said frankly, "It's a pity not to keep up with the times when one doesn't understand."
Saying that, she suddenly realized, "Oh, right, I have something to show you."
She took out her phone, opened a QQ group, browsed through some chat records, walked up to Lu Sen, and held her phone vertically in front of him. "Take a look."
The group name was blank.
Because the 'Group Nickname' feature was not enabled, only the group avatar could be seen.
"Hey guys, there's a private detective agency in Lancheng looking to hire hackers with high salaries."
"Lancheng? Quick, @Jinyan Shenxing, she's in Lancheng."
"@Jinyan Shenxing, brother, you should go for this job."
"@Jinyan Shenxing, if you go, I'll go too. Let's meet offline then."
Meng Jingwei: "Wait until I've invested in this detective agency, then you guys can come."
"Holy crap, you're already investing?"
"Big brother, when are you investing? I can't wait."
"Pfft, upstairs, what if your big brother is wearing an open-crotch pants, what will you do?"
"Bah, why aren't you thinking that she might be a girl?"
"Hahaha, @Jinyan Shenxing, I'm telling you, Daniel is bald hahaha..."
...
After Lu Sen quickly browsed through the not-so-long messages, Meng Jingwei put away her phone. "The top talents you want are all with me. I'm investing, and you'll still hold the majority. Moreover, we have a common enemy. Joining forces against a powerful foe for mutual benefit, isn't that the best outcome?"
Last year, Meng Jingwei had wanted to discuss investing with the private detective boss but was refused.
To put it bluntly, she was intimidated by the investment conditions set by the boss behind the scenes.
Now, Meng Jingwei knew she couldn't indulge in comfort and ease every day and still needed to plan for the future.
"Last year you said investing required two hundred million and three hacker big shots. I can meet all of them."
Meng Jingwei sat sideways on the table, looking at Lu Sen. "Mr. Lu can consider it carefully."
She snapped her laptop shut with her slender fingers, picked it up, walked back to her seat, put it away, and was about to leave with her belongings.
"Wait."
Lu Sen's gaze fixed on the table, and after a moment of thought, he said, "How can I believe that the people you found are all hacker big shots?"
"Mr. Lu, do you perhaps forget what you do for a living?"
Meng Jingwei smiled, "As the boss of a detective agency, investigating their identities is just a matter of effort and time."
"Cooperating is not impossible. Too many people know the location in Lancheng. If you're willing to set up a branch in Country C, it's also feasible."
Lu Sen finished speaking and added, "I can provide the manpower, but one hacker needs to stay here."
"No problem."
...
Meng Jingwei and Lu Sen had a long talk throughout the night, and finally, they finalized the cooperation.
By the time she drove back to the Nightshade Apartment, it was already five in the morning.
Coincidentally, she encountered an acquaintance in the B2 parking lot...
"Little Weiwei?"
Xiao Cheng was leaning against his car, making a phone call. Just as he was talking, he saw Meng Jingwei, dressed in sportswear, walking over.
"Why are you here?"
Surprised to see Xiao Cheng, Meng Jingwei didn't dare to approach, maintaining a distance of a few meters.
Being pregnant, she dared not get too close, fearing for the safety of the child in her womb.
The events that happened in Country C flashed through her mind, and just recalling them made Meng Jingwei's heart pound.
Xiao Cheng hung up the phone and put away his phone. "Standing so far away, are you afraid I'll harm your child?"
He hit the nail on the head.
Meng Jingwei didn't deny it. "It seems your injuries have also healed."
Xiao Cheng knew about her pregnancy, so he wasn't surprised.
