Although Lan Bing was sitting in the couple's booth, her face was always calm and distant. It was obvious that she was very disgusted by this kind of cooperation.
On the other hand, Jiang Ningyi was immaculately dressed and had an elegant demeanor. Objectively speaking, this fellow was somewhat handsome. He was of the same type as Xin Jie, but in terms of handsomeness, they were far from each other. Jiang Ningyi was handsome in terms of appearance, while Xin Jie was extraordinary in terms of temperament.
Jiang Ningyi's eyes were focused on Lan Bing. Lan Bing was dressed like a typical white-collar beauty today. Jiang Ningyi had seen many beauties like her, but he had never tasted someone as cold as her. The colder Lan Bing was, the more it aroused a man's desire to conquer her.
Today's cooperation was fake, and the date was real. However, Lan Bing didn't even bother to pay attention to him. Instead, he was the one who kept on blabbering on and on.
At this moment, seeing Ding Meng beside Liang Yiran, Lan Bing's eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up from her seat and walked quickly to Ding Meng.
"You're finally back!" Lan Bing was pleasantly surprised.
Her makeup today was very delicate, making her bright red face even more attractive. Ding Meng could not help but reach out and pinch her chin. "You've worked hard, Lil Bing!"
Lan Bing's eyes were slightly red. "You really … Can't you come back earlier?
I've been a little tired recently! "
Obviously, she had been under too much pressure recently. Ding Meng was a little apologetic. "Sorry, I was delayed in outer space for a while, but it's okay. Aren't I back now …"
Jiang Ningyi had never seen such an aggrieved and coquettish side of a beauty. He was stunned at once, but when he found that Ding Meng was stroking Lan Bing's chin, he was immediately enraged. "You, who are you?"
Unfortunately, Ding Meng did not care about him at all. He turned his head and said, "Yiran, go get a flying car. We'll leave in a while!"
It was not good to directly activate the teleportation in the hotel. It was not good to make a shocking impact.
At this moment, the four old men in the distance had stood up and stood in a row behind Jiang Ningyi, staring at Ding Meng covetously.
The leader of the group was an old man dressed in a black robe that resembled an ancient zombie costume. He said in a deep voice, "Who are you?
How dare you barge into Young Master Jiang's private banquet? Young Master Jiang is asking you a question. "
Ding Meng turned around and couldn't help but laugh. "You guys don't even know who I am?"
Jiang Ningyi could not sense Ding Meng's aura either. However, seeing that Ding Meng was wearing a hoodie and casual pants, he estimated that his entire body was worth less than 50 star coins. Therefore, he did not take Ding Meng seriously. "Boy, I don't care who you are. Today, this is my private party. Please leave."
Ding Meng was also very straightforward. "Okay, okay, let's go out."
After saying that, he wrapped his arm around Lan Bing's slender waist and turned to walk towards the door.
"Stop right there!" Jiang Ningyi shouted.
Ding Meng said with a smile, "You want me to leave, and now you want me to stay. What do you mean?"
Jiang Ningyi was very domineering. He waved his hand and said, "You leave. CEO Lan stays!"
"Why does CEO Lan stay?" Ding Meng asked even though he knew the answer.
Jiang Ningyi said, "I am talking about a collaboration with CEO Lan. It has nothing to do with you. You can leave now!"
Ding Meng looked at the couple booth and said with a smile, "You are talking about a collaboration? Are you talking about a collaboration or a date?"
Jiang Ningyi said impatiently, "This has nothing to do with you!"
"Then I am sorry. If you are talking about a collaboration, then it has something to do with me."
Ding Meng stopped smiling. "I am the investor of the Bingyi Group. The CEO and CEO are all my subordinates."
Jiang Ningyi suddenly looked surprised. He turned around and said, "CEO Lan, is this person crazy?"
Lan Bing finally gave a charming smile. "CEO Jiang, he is not talking nonsense. He is indeed the investor of the Bingyi Group. He is our boss."
Ding Meng said with a faint smile, "If you are not talking about a collaboration but a date, then it has something to do with me."
Lan Bing understood and immediately held Ding Meng's arm tightly. She explained with a smile, "CEO Jiang, he is also my husband. I have explained to you a long time ago that I have a family …"
After hearing this explanation, the old man in the black robe came to his senses. He immediately went up to Jiang Ningyi and whispered a few words.
Jiang Ningyi returned to his contemptuous attitude. "So you are Ding Meng. Don't think that just because you are the champion of the Storm Gathering, you can prove anything."
Ding Meng said with a smile, "Of course it doesn't prove anything. I am too far away from the Jiang family. So I will leave. I will leave. Okay?
Haha! "
After that, he hugged Lan Bing and was about to leave. Jiang Ningyi stopped him. "Stop!"
Ding Meng sighed. "Young Master Jiang, what do you want me to do?"
Jiang Ningyi was at a loss for words. It would be embarrassing if he used the excuse of a collaboration. It was supposed to be a great opportunity for him to pick up a girl. Why did it suddenly become like this?
After all, he was the son of a big family. At the very least, he still wanted to save face. Jiang Ningyi could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course, it is to talk about the acquisition of the Bingyi Group's route!"
Ding Meng said seriously, "Okay. If you want to talk about something, then you should act like you are talking about something. I think there is no need to talk about it at a couple's table, right?"
The old man in the black robe took the initiative to extend his hand. "CEO Ding, CEO Lan, this way please!"
The table he pointed to was the big round table they had been sitting at. The dishes on the table were basically untouched. Only Ding Meng and Jiang Ningyi were seated. Lan Bing and Liang Yiran sensibly stood behind Ding Meng, supporting the big boss.
This made Jiang Ningyi very angry. If Lan Bing did not sit down, he would not even have the chance to sit directly across from her.
Ding Meng did not beat around the bush. "CEO Jiang, since you want to talk about a collaboration, then I will be frank. I have to give face to the President. The Bingyi Group is also willing to support the Federation's project. However, if you want to buy the route in my hands, then you are undoubtedly buying the manpower and territory of this route. Name a price. If the price is right, then I will sell it!"
Jiang Ningyi was speechless. You are a big boss with a huge net worth. How can you be so direct?
The old man in the black robe was very perceptive. He knew that his young master would not be able to answer immediately. Thus, he took the initiative to speak. "CEO Ding, the Federation's higher-ups attach great importance to this Quguang No.1 project. It is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. If it is successfully implemented, it will be a huge boost to our Federation and the Empire's interstellar travel, energy development, and other fields."
Ding Meng looked at him. "Nonsense!"
"You!" The old man in the black robe was instantly annoyed.
Ding Meng said indifferently, "I asked you to name a price, and you said this to me. If this is not nonsense, then what is?"
Jiang Ningyi waved his hand, and the old man in the black robe immediately shut up.
Jiang Ningyi carefully observed Ding Meng. To be honest, if not for the fact that he was the CEO of the Bingyi Group and the champion of the Fengyun Conference, he would not have put Ding Meng in his eyes.
He had come to Blue Pole Star City this time with the intention of getting both the woman and the money. He wanted to first get Lan Bing into his bed and then take over the Bingyi Group. In the past few years, the Bingyi Group had not developed enough and could no longer compete with Shenghao Xinhong. The main reason was that Ding Meng had disappeared for five or six years. Such a huge ship could not be steered by Lan Bing alone.
However, Ding Meng's sudden appearance had messed up the situation. Getting Lan Bing was a small matter, but how could he make the Bingyi Group give up the route?
Jiang Ningyi stared at Ding Meng like a tiger eyeing its prey and slowly raised two fingers. "20 trillion star coins!"
Ding Meng also raised two fingers and tapped them on the table, but he did not answer.
Jiang Ningyi's square eyebrows furrowed. "What do you think, CEO Ding?"
Ding Meng smiled. "My prize at the Fengyun Conference is 20 trillion. You want to buy half of the Bingyi Group's lifeline with this amount of money?"
Jiang Ningyi did not get angry and patiently explained, "The Curved Light Project can send our Federation's fleet into outer space. This is a good thing for the country and the people. If the Bingyi Group is willing to support it, then it will be a great achievement. It will definitely go down in history."
Ding Meng smiled even more happily. "If you want to talk about cooperation like this, then I don't think there's any need to talk about it. It's not easy for me to come back. Don't delay my and Little Bing's happy life."
He purposely emphasized the word "happy". Behind him, Liang Yiran could not help but laugh. Lan Bing also had a generous smile on her face.
Ding Meng had learned this from Dai Yi. I'll just touch on the pot that doesn't boil.
Jiang Ningyi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "Then, CEO Ding, why don't you name a price?"
Ding Meng smiled. "You want me to name a price?
I'm afraid you can't afford it. 500 trillion, not a cent less. Otherwise, there's no need to talk. "
Jiang Ningyi's eyebrows were almost knitted into a line. "CEO Ding, the Federation's financial burden is already very heavy. I hope you can consider the big picture."
Ding Meng waved his hand indifferently. "You speak as if the Federation's financial burden was caused by me.
Was it caused by me?
If it was caused by me, I can give you a discount. "
The faces of the old men immediately darkened. Ding Meng was really stubborn.
Ding Meng also stared at the other party. "I'm not bragging, but the higher-ups of the Federation simply can't come up with this amount of money. You know very well what you're planning to do in Blue Pole Star City."
The black-robed old man spoke again. "CEO Ding, since you have spoken like this, let's be frank. The senior management can't afford this money, but CEO Yu of Shenghao Group is willing to pay for it."
"Ha!"
Ding Meng was immediately amused. "I know you people are full of demons. Since Shenghao Group is paying, then let Yu Tianlin come to talk to me in person. Why should I let you people who have nothing to do with me talk?
Are you here to talk about love? "
Jiang Ningyi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. "CEO Ding, I didn't do anything out of line. Please pay attention to your words."
Ding Meng also stopped smiling. "I've been polite to you. Not only do you have designs on my Bingyi Group, but you also dare to have designs on my woman. Do you really think you have a lot of lives..."
As he spoke, he got up. "Lil Bing, Yiran, let's go!"
As soon as the three of them turned around, three old men immediately blocked their way like ghosts. "Stop!"
The black-robed old man behind him shouted sternly, "Do you think you can get out of here today?"
Ding Meng was so angry that he laughed. "You want to block my way with just a few pieces of scrap metal?"
Jiang Ningyi's face darkened and he didn't answer. The black-robed old man said majestically, "What a big tone. Ding, this is the senior management giving you face. Don't refuse it. You can go, but CEO Lan must stay."
A cold light flashed in Ding Meng's eyes. He looked at Jiang Ningyi coldly. "Is this what you want?"
