Who's going to be the female lead's simp? Aren't the supporting female characters mor

As night deepened, the top floor of the Deep Blue Technology Building remained brightly lit.

Bai Jingyou tapped his finger lightly on the touchpad, and dragged the information of the three toxic suppliers on the screen into a folder called Recycle Bin.

"Boss, are you really not going to call the police?" Chen Mo stood to the side, looking at the obviously problematic underlying code, his brows furrowed. "The smart home control modules provided by these companies are like time bombs planted in thousands of households once we install them. Sun Zhi's move is too insidious; he's dragging DeepBlue down with him."

"Call the police?" Bai Jingyou chuckled, picking up his coffee. "Chen Mo, remember this: in business competition, calling the police is the most incompetent thing you can do. The police can only arrest people, they can't help me make money."

He took out his phone, found a number with the nickname "Pixiu" in the contacts, and dialed it.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

A lazy, slightly impatient female voice came from the other end of the line, accompanied by soft classical music and the sound of flowing water in the background.

"Young Master Bai, it's 10 p.m. now." Zhang Yi's voice sounded like a cat that had just woken up, with a touch of coquettishness, but Bai Jingyou knew that this cat's claws were covered in barbs. "If you're not here to deliver money, I'll assume you're here to harass a respectable woman. Be careful, or I'll tell Ye Lingqing and have her cut you up."

"I have three business deals, totaling about 200 million," Bai Jingyou said calmly, "and they're all cash flow."

There was less than half a second of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then came a rustling sound, as if someone had suddenly sat up in the water.

"Grand Mansion, Villa No. 8, my private beauty salon." Zhang Yi's voice instantly became crisp and melodious, all traces of her previous languidness vanished. "Be there within half an hour, or you'll be late. Also, bring a bottle of good red wine."

"Beep." The call ended.

Bai Jingyou looked at his phone and shook his head helplessly.

"Chen Mo, prepare the car."

……

Forty minutes later, at Shengshi Haoting.

Zhang Yi was wearing a silk bathrobe, her long hair was casually tied back, and her face was covered with a thick black mud mask, revealing only a pair of shrewd and calculating eyes.

She sat gracefully on the European-style leather sofa, waving the Romanée-Conti that Bai Jingyou had just brought her.

"Speak," Zhang Yi said, taking a sip of her drink and glancing at Bai Jingyou. "A two-hundred-million-dollar deal isn't enough to pay for murder and arson. I'm a law-abiding citizen."

"Murder and arson are things Jiang Feng does." Bai Jingyou took three thick documents out of his briefcase and threw them on the coffee table. "I'm the kind of person who only talks about building, not destroying."

Zhang Yi put down her wine glass, extended her nail-painted fingers, and opened the document.

"Hongda Electronics Procurement Agreement", "Yongxin Technology Exclusive Cooperation Terms", "Blue Shield Security Wholly Acquired Letter of Intent"

Zhang Yi raised her eyebrows after only a few glances.

"These three companies..." She looked up, her eyes sharpening, "If I'm not mistaken, these are typical shell company structures. These companies are like disposable gloves, used and then thrown away. When did you, Young Master Bai, start collecting junk?"

"This is a gift from Sun Zhi." Bai Jingyou leaned back on the sofa, his fingers lightly tapping his knees. "These three companies are backed by the Jiang family's financial pool. Sun Zhi wants them to infiltrate my supply chain, create quality incidents at critical moments, and ruin the reputation of Deep Blue Future City."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the old man is still as despicable as ever." Zhang Yi curled her lip in disgust, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes. "Since you knew it was poison, you still signed it?"

"If I don't sign, why would they transfer real money in as operating capital?"

Bai Jingyou's lips curled into a cold smile, like a hunter watching a wild beast fall into a trap.

"In these three contracts, I had the legal department add some very interesting performance-based clauses. For example, the purity of the raw materials must meet the standard, otherwise a penalty of ten times the amount will be imposed. For example, the core code must pass Deep Blue AI's 100% pass rate test, otherwise it will be considered fraud, and we can freeze the other party's account unconditionally."

Zhang Yi is a smart person; she understands things immediately.

She slammed the file shut, almost bursting her face mask with laughter.

"You want me to be the bad guy?" Zhang Yi pointed to herself. "You want me to pay these breach of contract penalties?"

"You are the best asset liquidator in the capital, and also the most unreasonable creditor." Bai Jingyou leaned forward, staring into Zhang Yi's eyes. "Sun Zhi thought he was trying to force problems on me, but he forgot that the company contains not only soldiers, but also the Jiang family's cash."

"These three companies have at least 300 million yuan in liquid funds on their books to create the illusion of strong financial strength in order to gain my trust. As long as the contract is in effect, as long as their first batch of goods is substandard..."

"I could pounce on them like a shark, bite off their financial chain, apply for asset preservation, freeze those 300 million in their account, and eventually transfer it all into my pocket," Zhang Yi continued, her breathing becoming rapid.

This is hardly a business war.

This is clearly robbery! And it's a legal robbery, with a contract in hand!

"How should we divide this money?" Zhang Yi immediately reverted to her businessman's nature, even forgetting to wash off her face mask.

"Three times seven." Bai Jingyou held up three fingers. "You get three, I get seven."

"Fifty-fifty," Zhang Yi said without backing down. "If that old fox Sun Zhi doesn't die, he'll definitely retaliate. I'm working at the risk of retaliation from the Jiang family; that's compensation for emotional distress."

"Deal." Bai Jingyou agreed with unusually quickness.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh in frustration: "I was too hasty! We should have shouted 'June 4th'! You agreed so quickly, I'm definitely at a disadvantage!"

Bai Jingyou stood up and straightened the hem of his suit: "Since we've reached an agreement, I want to see the legal representatives of these three companies crying as they leave your office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry." Zhang Yi ripped off her face mask, revealing a clean but ambitious face. "As long as the money is right, let alone a legal person, even if Jiang Wenyuan comes, I can strip him bare to pay off his debts."

……

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

HTC's temporary office is located in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

This is a typical shell company. It rents a floor of a cheap office building, where there are a few computers and a dozen employees pretending to type on the keyboards.

General Manager Wang Qiang was sitting in the boss's chair, reporting his work to Sun Zhi on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Sun, don't worry, the first batch of upgraded central control modules has already been installed on the vehicles. As long as DeepBlue signs for them, hehe, we'll be in charge whenever the system crashes from now on." Wang Qiang said obsequiously, his feet dangling on the table.

"Be discreet." Sun Zhi's voice was hoarse and gloomy on the other end of the phone. "That kid Bai Jingyou is a bit strange. Don't let him see through our disguise."

"Don't worry, the appearance of this batch of goods is absolutely fine. The problems are all in the chip logic; even a god couldn't..."

"Bang!"

The office door was suddenly and violently pushed open from the outside.

The loud noise startled Wang Qiang so much that he almost dropped his phone into his coffee cup.

"Who is it! Don't you know the rules!" Wang Qiang roared, looking up.

A group of people dressed in black suits and wearing name tags filed in and instantly took control of every corner of the office.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out.

Zhang Yi walked in with an imposing aura, dressed in a well-tailored red business suit and sunglasses, followed by two lawyers carrying briefcases.

She didn't even glance at Wang Qiang, but walked straight to the sofa in the reception area, sat down, took off her sunglasses, and fanned her nose with her hand in disgust.

"What a shabby place, it smells musty."

"Who...who are you?" Wang Qiang felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of this group. "We are partners of DeepBlue Technology. What do you want?"

"Partners?"

Zhang Yi chuckled and snapped her fingers.

The lawyer behind him immediately stepped forward and slammed a thick document onto Wang Qiang's table.

"Mr. Wang Qiang, I am Zhang Yi, the head of the third-party asset liquidation team commissioned by DeepBlue Technology."

Zhang Yi glanced casually at her freshly done nails, her tone icy: "Ten minutes ago, DeepBlue Quality Inspection Center conducted a full inspection of the first batch of goods shipped by your company. Unfortunately, the pass rate was zero. Not only that, we detected maliciously implanted destructive code in the chips."

"According to the Commercial Fraud Law and Article 18 of the supplementary clause of the Exclusive Supply Agreement you just signed yesterday..." Zhang Yi raised her eyelids, her gaze sharp as a knife, "Your company has committed a major breach of contract and commercial fraud."

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Wang Qiang broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He hadn't expected the other party to act so quickly. "We want to inspect the goods! We want a second opinion!"

"Reconsideration my ass."

Zhang Yi stood up, walked to the desk, placed her hands on the table, and looked down at Wang Qiang: "Just now, the court froze all the funds in your company's account, including the 100 million yuan you just transferred in to pass the capital verification."

"In addition, your parent company's guarantee has also been triggered. Mr. Wang, I heard you own two villas and three sports cars? Although they're not worth much, let's freeze them for now."

"You...this is robbery!" Wang Qiang slumped into his chair, the sound of Sun Zhi's voice still coming from his phone, but he could no longer hear it.

"To correct you, this is called acting in accordance with the contract."

Zhang Yi turned around and waved to the men she had brought with her.

"Finance, move their computers out. Legal, put up seals. And you there, I see that coffee machine looks nice, take that too to pay off the debt."

"Mr. Zhang, this coffee machine... only costs a few thousand yuan." The subordinate seemed a bit embarrassed.

"Aren't a few thousand yuan a lot of money?" Zhang Yi glared at her subordinate. "Every little bit counts, so get moving!"

Just then, Sun Zhi's sinister roar suddenly came from Wang Qiang's phone, which was on the table: "Give her the phone!"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, picked up her phone, and put it to her ear.

"Hey? Which elderly person is this? You're so hot-tempered, be careful of high blood pressure."

"Zhang Yi!" Sun Zhi's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out through clenched teeth, "Do you even know whose money you're taking? You dare to meddle in the Jiang family's affairs? Ye Lingqing can protect you for a while, but not forever!"

"Oh, Mr. Sun," Zhang Yi laughed heartily, "You're right. I'm just a debt collector; I do things for whoever pays me. The Jiang family? The Jiang family is in dire straits right now. You'd better think about how to explain the 300 million deficit to Old Master Jiang first."

"Oh, right." Zhang Yi seemed to remember something, "Bai Jingyou asked me to pass on a message to you."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Yi's smile vanished, and her voice turned cold: "He said, 'Thank you, Mr. Sun, for the angel investment. Deep Blue Technology will gladly accept this three hundred million. Next time you need to send money, remember to transfer it directly. Don't go through all these roundabout ways, it saves me the trouble of making a trip, and gas is expensive.'"

"beep."

Zhang Yi hung up the phone and casually tossed it into the nearby trash can.

"Let's wrap up and move on to the next place!"

She walked away in her high heels, like a queen who had just won a battle, and with the Jiang family's 300 million yuan in liquid assets in Wang Qiang's despairing gaze, she strode away.

……

Meanwhile, at the DeepBlue Technology President's Office.

Bai Jingyou looked at the bank's notification of incoming funds on his phone and gently blew on the tea leaves floating in his cup.

"Boss, Miss Zhang's efficiency... it's like banditry." Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the icons of the three companies on the screen that had instantly turned gray.

"Evil people need other evil people to teach them a lesson." Bai Jingyou put down his teacup and looked out at the gloomy sky. "Sun Zhi wants to play by the rules with me, then I'll let him know that the rules are made by the rich."

"However..." Chen Mo said with some worry, "If this happens, the Jiang family might be driven to desperation."

"Jump!"

Bai Jingyou stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the bustling city of Beijing.

"Only mad dogs bite people randomly, and dogs that bite randomly are not far from death."
