Qin Chuan leaned back lazily in his chair by the glass window, seemingly unfazed by Guo Zixian's words, not even bothering to lift an eyelid.
However, while Qin Chuan could ignore Guo Zixian, Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong could not. They were already completely loyal to Qin Chuan and wouldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting their boss.
"Of course, we came out after we finished our business. It's not like it's our home, with no place to eat or drink coffee. Why endure that suffering!" Yao Dong said coldly. Fortunately, he knew they were partners, so he didn't use overly harsh words, merely responding to Guo Zixian with a similar attitude.
Guo Zixian frowned and then said lightly, "Based on what you're saying, you've already completed your mission?"
"I wouldn't dare say the mission is completed, but our boss had already obtained a lot of useful intelligence. He came out an hour ago and has been waiting here for you," Yao Dong stated indifferently.
"You came out an hour ago?" Fang Rumei, who had been observing, immediately raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Her eyes fell on Qin Chuan's face.
"Sister Mei, please sit!"
"I ordered all these things for you. I'm not sure what you like, so I ordered a bit of everything."
Qin Chuan said with a smile to Fang Rumei. He then called a waiter and asked about the coffee preferences of Fang Rumei, Guo Zixian, and the man named Ding Yong.
Seeing that Qin Chuan had ordered so many things for them, Fang Rumei and Guo Zixian were slightly taken aback.
After the waiter left, Fang Rumei spoke first, "Qin Chuan, we've found out who the main people responsible for the DDM Company's MP3 business are. Their names are Carl and Alisa, and they are both very capable individuals."
"If we want to bring an expert back to China, Carl and Alisa are definitely the best choices."
Qin Chuan nodded slightly, "Anything else?"
Fang Rumei continued, "Of course! This DDM Company is truly impressive. Not counting the factory workers, they have over two hundred people working in their main office hall."
"They can be considered a first-class technology enterprise at the forefront of the world!"
"They used to specialize in graphics card research. MP3 is a relatively new venture they've developed, with the intention of breaking into the multimedia industry and expanding their product line."
Qin Chuan listened intently.
"The president of DDM Company is named Michael, and there's also a vice president named Lawrence."
Fang Rumei said with excitement, "Do you know that the relationship between Michael and Lawrence is not harmonious?"
Qin Chuan kept nodding, "Continue!"
Fang Rumei paused. At this moment, Guo Zixian spoke again, "Boss Qin, we've gathered so much information this morning, isn't that enough?"
"What else have you guys found out!" For this intelligence, the three of them had barely stopped for the entire morning, splitting into three groups and covering almost every floor of the building. They had even almost been mistaken for thieves by the security personnel, narrowly resolving the misunderstanding in the end. Seeing the group who had apparently escaped early and were now lounging in the coffee shop, Guo Zixian couldn't stand it, a surge of frustration building in her chest. Why should they work themselves to death gathering information while these people were leisurely sitting in a coffee shop, enjoying the air conditioning, snacks, and coffee? How comfortable could they be?
"Qin Chuan, since we are partners, we should show enough sincerity and effort to each other, especially in the early stages. There should be no other distractions," Fang Rumei couldn't help but say. For a partner, saying such words was already quite serious.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan picked up his coffee and took a sip. Then, he casually pushed a white paper that was under his coffee cup towards Fang Rumei.
"The three of you, I haven't been slacking off at all, so please don't misunderstand!"
"This is some of the intelligence we gathered about DDM Company this morning. You can all take a look."
After speaking, Qin Chuan focused on savoring his coffee and admiring the scantily clad foreign ladies in the coffee shop. His handsome face, heroic demeanor, and tall build, dressed in a sharp suit exuding wealth, truly made him look very stylish.
When Qin Chuan's gaze lingered on some of the foreign ladies, they noticed his attention and looked up or turned their faces to meet his gaze. Many of the ladies not only showed no shyness but also flirted with Qin Chuan, acting boldly and unrestrained. A few even made kissing gestures. Qin Chuan smiled slightly at this and raised his coffee cup in a toast.
"Qin Chuan, you..."
Just then, Fang Rumei had finished reading the contents of the white paper and looked up in shock, just in time to witness this scene.
"This pervert, how could Zimo have fallen for him?" Fang Rumei muttered to herself, combining this with the overheard conversation between Qin Chuan and Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong at the airport, she immediately categorized Qin Chuan as a 'pervert'.
Indeed, men were all the same! No matter how beautiful their wives or girlfriends were at home, they couldn't resist outside temptations and wanted to stray. However, now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Fang Rumei was even more curious about how Qin Chuan had managed to obtain so much intelligence. The dense writing on the white paper in her hand was far more than what they had investigated all morning; it was more than double. Not only were the names of Carl and Alisa listed, but even their hobbies and favorite coffee shops and restaurants were included. Among them, one piece of information was extremely crucial and significant: the acquisition of DDM Company by a company called S3.
Fang Rumei coughed forcefully, finally drawing Qin Chuan's attention away from his flirting.
"Qin Chuan, how did you obtain this intelligence?" At this moment, Guo Zixian and Ding Yong were also staring intently at Qin Chuan, their eyes not blinking. They had also seen the contents and were truly astonished, their earlier arrogance completely gone. They were equally curious about how Qin Chuan had managed to acquire so much useful intelligence in such a short time. It was simply unbelievable! And to spend so little time, compared to them, who almost died of exhaustion just to get a little bit of information.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Every cat has its own way, and every mouse has its own path.' Everyone's methods are completely different."
"We naturally have our ways of obtaining secrets." Qin Chuan spoke cryptically, not revealing the details to them.
"So stingy!" Fang Rumei pouted. She couldn't do anything if Qin Chuan wouldn't say.
"Can you guarantee that everything on here is correct?"
"Especially this piece!" Fang Rumei extended her delicate finger and pointed to one of the items. Qin Chuan looked down, and as expected, she was referring to the acquisition of DDM Company by S3.
"For now, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the information. Many of the things listed here need to be verified slowly." Qin Chuan said, "But I think about seventy percent should be true."
"We've only just arrived, and to have such significant gains in just one morning is already quite good. The next step is for us to carefully investigate!"
"Keep what's useful and discard what's not!" Fang Rumei strongly agreed with this approach. Her gaze inadvertently lingered on Qin Chuan's face for two to three seconds. She was beginning to understand why Qin Chuan was so successful in business; he truly had his own unique way of doing things. This method wasn't something that could be achieved solely through academic qualifications; it was genuine capability.
