Chapter 378 Office Romance: The Sneaky Version

The other foreign representatives also nodded one after another, their eyes filled with hope, staring intently at Jiang Jing.

Waiting for an answer that would make them happy.

In their view, as long as Jiang Jing was willing to loosen his stance, money was simply not an issue.

However, after listening, Jiang Jing just smiled faintly, without even a hint of hesitation, and shook his head very firmly:

"Let's forget about the patent matter."

His tone was calm, yet very firm.

His gaze swept over the faces of everyone present, which had instantly turned disappointed, and he added a sentence, completely cutting off their hopes:

"For this technology, I don't even have any intention of selling the patent within Longguo, let alone to overseas markets."

Hearing this, the group of foreign representatives had faces full of deep disappointment and regret.

Such a huge mountain of gold was clearly right in front of them, yet they couldn't even mine a single piece of ore; this feeling was truly unbearable.

The leading old man was clearly experienced. The feeling of disappointment lasted only a few short seconds before he quickly adjusted, settling for the next best thing and proceeding to the next step of his probing. He squeezed a smile back onto his face, his tone even more cautious:

"Understood, understood. Mr. Jiang has his own strategic considerations, and we completely respect that."

"Then, if the patent is not an option, do you think... is there any possibility of cooperation regarding global agency rights, or exclusive agency rights for major regions?"

"We are willing to pay a higher price and promise to invest maximum resources for market promotion..."

Jiang Jing couldn't help but laugh heartily at his words, waving his hand to directly interrupt him.

He really couldn't be bothered to keep bickering back and forth with these people.

With this time and energy, wouldn't it be better to go back and tease the group of enchanting beauties in the manor, or flirt with this CEO Jiang in front of him who he hadn't yet "eaten," rather than facing these foreigners?

Jiang Jing restrained his smile and directly settled the matter: "Regarding the patent and agency rights, everyone, please don't waste any more effort."

"Neural Induction Prosthetics will only cooperate with overseas markets through finished product procurement; this is the plan set by our Xingchen Technology."

He looked at everyone, his eyes calm but carrying an invisible pressure: "If you are interested in procurement, we welcome it; as for anything else, there is no need to bring it up again."

Having said this much, it couldn't be any clearer.

The group of foreign representatives looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness and frustration.

They had prepared countless arguments and generous conditions, but they hadn't expected that Jiang Jing wouldn't even ask about the price, directly blocking all paths.

This left them not knowing how to continue pushing for it for a moment.

The leading old man could only sigh deeply in the end, his face filled with unconcealable regret.

He stood up and, representing everyone, said goodbye to Jiang Jing and Jiang Yan: "Understood, Mr. Jiang, thank you for your candor."

"We will convey your meaning truthfully, and we look forward to our next cooperation regarding procurement matters."

The others also stood up one after another, shaking hands with Jiang Jing and Jiang Yan to say goodbye.

Although the core goal was not achieved, fortunately, everyone was on the same starting line.

If we can't get it, our competitors can't get it either.

Thinking this way, they finally felt a bit more balanced.

After seeing off this group of foreigners with their varied intentions, only Jiang Jing and Jiang Yan remained in the large conference room.

Jiang Jing looked at the trace of fatigue on Jiang Yan's face after the negotiation, his heart stirred. He hooked his finger at her, a wicked smile appearing on his face: "Jiang Yan, come here."

Jiang Yan was slightly stunned, and seeing that familiar look in Jiang Jing's eyes, a flush involuntarily appeared on her cheeks.

She followed his instructions and walked over with elegant steps.

Just as she walked to Jiang Jing's side, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender, soft waist.

"CEO Jiang, you performed very well just now." Jiang Jing said, naturally pulling her into his embrace as he spoke.

Jiang Yan subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed conference room door, her cheeks turning even redder, and she whispered chidingly: "What are you doing... let go quickly, there might still be people outside!"

"What are you afraid of? The door is closed." Jiang Jing not only didn't let go, but instead lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and teased: "Does this count as a special 'stealth' edition of an office romance?"

"Although the progress bar is stuck at kissing and hugging, isn't this secretive thrill quite lethal?"

His words carried obvious teasing, and his fingers were also restlessly caressing her waist.

Jiang Yan's heart accelerated from his actions. She glared at Jiang Jing in shy annoyance, but because of her watery eyes, it had no deterrent effect and instead added a few points of charm.

"You... stop talking nonsense! Who is being secretive with you..." Her retort sounded weak.

Jiang Jing used a little force and lifted her up entirely, placing her on his sturdy thighs.

"Ah!" Jiang Yan let out a short exclamation, her hands subconsciously pressing against Jiang Jing's chest.

Before she could react, Jiang Jing had already lowered his head, precisely capturing her slightly parted, rosy lips and kissing her deeply.

"Mmm..."

Jiang Yan's body quickly softened under Jiang Jing's passionate kiss.

During this period, this kind of oral interaction between the two of them was no longer the first time.

From her initial shyness, to later half-reluctantly going along with it, and now...

She had become somewhat accustomed to, and even addicted to, this kind of intimate contact.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

For a long while, until Jiang Yan felt like she was about to run out of oxygen, Jiang Jing reluctantly let her go.

Jiang Yan's eyes were hazy, her cheeks slightly flushed, as if she were drunk, leaning softly in Jiang Jing's arms, breathing slightly.

Jiang Jing looked at her alluring appearance, his fingers gently stroking her smooth cheek: "Classmate Jiang Yan, today Ruonan, Xiaoxue, and the others were talking about you, saying they missed you."

"How about it, come back to Shanshui Manor with me tonight? Let's all get together."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan's hazy eyes became a bit clearer.

She looked up at Jiang Jing's deep eyes, her heart as clear as a mirror.

Go back to the manor with him?

And all get together?

I'm afraid that as the gathering goes on, I will be completely eaten and wiped clean by this hungry wolf-like guy.

Thinking of that scene, Jiang Yan felt as if her face was on fire, her heart filled with both anticipation and fear.

For a moment, she was hesitant and unable to make up her mind.

Jiang Jing looked at the struggle and shyness in her eyes and knew that the timing was still just a little bit off.

He chuckled softly, no longer giving her time to think, and leaned down again, capturing her soft lips.

"Mmm..."

Under Jiang Jing's skillful teasing and aggressive offensive, Jiang Yan's last line of defense completely collapsed.

She nodded dizzily, emitting a faint hum from her nasal cavity: "Mmm..."

Hearing this agreement, a light burst forth in Jiang Jing's eyes, and a victorious smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

He released Jiang Yan's lips, looking at her alluring, hazy-eyed appearance, his heart filled with the pleasure of conquest.

'Hehe... Tonight, you will finally fall completely into my grasp...'

Jiang Jing seemed to already see that tonight at Shanshui Manor, there would be a unique "welcome ceremony."
