Regretful Beijing Marriage

After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on Jiang Yining.

Their eyes conveyed only one meaning.

Do you know what you're saying?

Do you really think that negotiating a partnership is a place for wealthy socialites to scheme and fight?

Xie Xingzhou was the first to laugh out loud, his laughter laced with blatant sarcasm.

"Jiang Yining, you really don't know your own limitations."

"Top-tier collaborations are right in front of you, yet you insist on throwing a tantrum and acting capriciously. What kind of place do you think this is?"

"Do you really treat negotiating a partnership like child's play? Or do you think that if you reject this project, Huaiyan will treat you differently?"

He then slowly glanced at He Sze.

"Mr. He, it's certainly possible to collaborate with women, but we need to choose the right ones. Women who are empty-headed and only know about love are a waste of our time."

Song Yu also frowned and offered Jiang Yining a word of advice.

"Dr. Jiang, I hope you can separate your personal and professional matters."

"Putting aside personal grudges, this project is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and your clinic."

"Once you miss it, there won't be a second chance."

For a moment, the air grew even quieter.

For them, this project was simply an investment.

However, this is different for Jiang Yining.

This is her domain.

If she can make this project a success.

Then her clinic will be able to establish itself completely.

Its future is immeasurable.

Refusing now because of personal grudges is far too short-sighted.

Jiang Yining understood their meaning perfectly well.

She knew they all thought she was ungrateful.

I felt that she was a woman, and all she cared about was her children and grandchildren.

A thin, cold curve appeared at the corner of her lips, but her eyes remained completely expressionless.

"When it comes to cooperation, sincerity is key, not a condescending attitude of charity."

"If you all look down on me, why bother talking to me about cooperation?"

"And I can also tell you, I'm the one who looks down on you!"

From the moment she stepped into this meeting room, these people treated her with no equality.

Putting aside other grudges...

Just from the perspective of her being a woman, she was naturally inferior in their eyes.

Since we viewed it with prejudice from the very beginning.

That explanation would be superfluous.

Jiang Yining was too lazy to waste words and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, He Sze immediately stepped forward, a polite smile on his face.

"President Jiang, is there some misunderstanding?"

"This is just a preliminary plan. I came to see you specifically because I genuinely recognize your professional abilities."

"You are the key person in this project."

"core?"

Jiang Yining stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at him, her voice not loud, but every word was precise.

"What President He really meant was to take over my clinic and make me work for him."

"You reap the benefits without lifting a finger, pushing all the tricky experimental procedures onto me, and then conveniently draining my network of contacts to pave the way for your own success?"

One sentence, once again, shocked everyone.

Shen Sinian suddenly looked up at her, his surprise barely concealed.

This woman was more clear-headed than he thought.

He Sze's smile froze for a moment, and a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes.

But he was a seasoned veteran and quickly regained his composure.

"Mr. Jiang, it seems you've misunderstood. I wanted to raise funds to help your clinic go public as soon as possible."

"The project is burning through cash too fast. I don't think your clinic, at its current size, can sustain it."

"I can also promise that I will never try to take control; the clinic will remain yours."

His words were perfectly watertight.

Which one of you here isn't a seasoned veteran in the business world?

Everyone can see the trickery involved.

What kind of financing support?

It's clearly an attempt to take advantage of the situation, infiltrate the market, and quietly seize control of the narrative.

Song Yu's gaze towards Jiang Yining gradually changed.

He finally understood why Sun Zhenping valued this woman so much.

This kind of mindset and perspective is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Jiang Yining was too lazy to beat around the bush anymore and got straight to the point.

"Mr. He, you don't need to worry about it. I can handle the funding myself."

"If we really go public, I won't take advantage of your influence."

She paused, then slowly scanned the entire room, each word resonating deeply.

"This project is different from yours; I don't need to invest any money."

"You provide the money, I'll provide the brains."

"I want absolute control; nothing else matters."

The meeting room was once again swallowed by silence.

Xie Xingzhou was so angry he laughed, his face full of disdain.

"Jiang Yining, do you think this is child's play? Is this how you negotiate?"

"Trying to get something for nothing? Business partnerships are about shared profits. You think you can get a piece of the pie without putting in a single penny? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Lu Yun Shen added a sentence, following the lead.

"If you don't invest, you can only be listed as an external psychological consultant."

"You won't get a share of this project."

He Sze wanted to say a few more words to persuade her to stay.

"President Jiang, I think you should reconsider..."

"No need to consider it."

Jiang Yining interrupted coldly, her voice deep and resolute.

"I will only contribute my efforts, but I must have a core position."

She raised her eyes, her gaze slowly sweeping over each person's face, each word striking down with devastating force.

"Because of me, you can't do this project without me."

arrogant.

These two words rose in everyone's mind.

Even a leading figure like Sun Zhenping wouldn't dare to say such a thing, so what gives her, a psychologist running a small clinic, the right to say such a thing?

Just because he accidentally treated a few patients?

Song Yu couldn't help but frown.

Indeed, he lacks experience and has a short-sighted perspective.

Trying to get something for free in a shopping mall? You're dreaming!

Exaggerating one's abilities is a taboo in business.

Xie Xingzhou completely lost it, his voice rising uncontrollably.

"Jiang Yining, you need to know your place! This isn't a place for you to act wildly. Think about your own capabilities before you speak!"

"You don't really think this is a place to argue, do you?"

Shen Sinian also whispered a reminder.

"Miss Jiang, you'd better think carefully before you speak."

"It's good to have confidence, but don't be too arrogant."

He Sze had abandoned all his gentleness, and his expression darkened.

"President Jiang, I can tolerate differences and accept negotiations, but I cannot tolerate people who talk big in my projects."

Suddenly, all the pressure was on Jiang Yining.

Her back was ramrod straight, and the thin, cool smile in her eyes hadn't faded.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourselves first."

"When you come to me again when you're at your wits' end, the terms won't be the same as they are today."

She knew it better than anyone else.

The real bottleneck of this instrument is not the equipment or the funding.

The key lies in the underlying logic of adaptation and debugging.

Back then, my mentor pioneered the establishment of a preliminary framework for brain-based psychological intervention in China.

However, due to technological limitations and malicious suppression, it was aborted halfway.

Subsequently, all researchers in the same field adopted this framework.

But no one could decipher the most crucial core details.

And that sealed data was only in her possession.

No one but her and her mentor could do this project.

To some extent, Jiang Yining wasn't wrong.

Even she couldn't find a mentor.

They are even less likely to be able to get a tutor.

Too lazy to waste words, Jiang Yining turned and left.

The next moment, Fu Huaiyan, who had been silent on the other side of the screen, suddenly spoke.

"I'll cover her investment."
