Let them offer their loyalty

Page 230

If she had only provided information before and the results of the project had nothing to do with her, then after Jonas agreed to give her part of the profits, the specific plan and research progress of the virtual reality became linked to the interests of Dawn Star. Naturally, Su Lingqing became interested in this project.

“I am ready to work with Senna Life.”

"?"

Hearing this, a question mark popped up in Su Lingqing's head, and for a moment she couldn't react whether Jonas was playing a prank on her.

"Are you serious?"

The relationship between Senna Life and the Arbitration Bureau can be said to be a long-standing grievance. Jonas, who has a close relationship with the Arbitration Bureau, will inevitably be met with hostility from the management of Senna Life... Regardless of whether the cooperation can be carried out normally, even if it really cooperates with Senna Life, the disadvantages will definitely outweigh the benefits.

The Arbitration Bureau cannot just let Senna Life have the opportunity to grow again. It will inevitably demand the termination of the cooperation between the Alte Foundation and Senna Life in the name of the partners.

Thinking of this, Su Lingqing couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked in a calm tone:

"If you really want to cooperate with Miss Rhine, how can you guarantee that the Arbitration Bureau will not use the excuse of withdrawing from the cooperation to force you to give up more benefits?"

"I have no intention of cooperating with the Arbitration Bureau on the virtual reality issue."

Jonas smiled and then reminded:

"The grudges between them are their own business. I only care about the benefits of cooperation. If they are unwilling, then let them all go."

If it were any other project, Jonas might also worry that the choice of collaborators would affect the final outcome.

The virtual reality project has never lacked partners. The ones who really need to worry about whether they will anger their partners and cause the cooperation to break down are the Arbitration Bureau and Senna Life.

When Su Lingqing heard this, she was obviously a little unconvinced.

But she didn't say much. She knew that Jonas was a very conceited person. Once he made a decision, no one could change his mind. So the girl just sighed and said:

"I hope so."

Having said this, she raised her head and asked:

"Do you need me to negotiate with Miss Rhine?"

After all, the two had a cooperative relationship before, and although the final outcome was not satisfactory, it was at least better than Jonas' relationship with the other party.

"Ms. Su, you can go to Senna Life with me this afternoon, but you only need to be responsible for driving and attending the meeting."

Hearing this, Su Lingqing's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips without saying anything.

After a long while, she added:

"If the talks break down, I will try to remedy the situation."

There was a hint of resentment in his tone, which deliberately choked Jonas.

He looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to be a bit hypocritical but acted righteous, and felt a little amused, but did not say anything.

The girl's tsundere attitude is really cute. On the one hand, she makes sarcastic remarks in some ways, and on the other hand, she says that she will take the responsibility if she fails.

She's just like a loser with blonde twin tails who says, "Since you have no one to accompany you on Valentine's Day, I'll reluctantly accompany you."

Shaking his head and placing the documents on the table, Jonas said:

"In that case, let's do it without further delay."

He said, winking at the girl:

"If the negotiations break down, I hope Miss Su Lingqing can put aside the past grudges and help me speak to Miss Lai Rhine."

Su Lingqing pouted at the kitten on her shoulder and didn't respond.

.................................................. ..................

Senna Life, Jonas is quite familiar with this place.

After reaching a cooperation with Miss Rhine, he had the second-level authority of Senna Life Security, which was equivalent to the authority of Senna Life executives. So when Su Lingqing saw Jonas standing in front of the gate and the security system directly allowed him to pass, he was a little unreacted for a while.

Afterwards, the girl began to doubt herself.

At least from the information she had previously known, the relationship between Senna Life and Jonas was not so harmonious.

Otherwise, she would not have sought cooperation with Miss Rhine.

Noticing the strange look on the girl's face, Jonas walked straight towards the elevator without explaining.

Su Lingqing was also very tactful and did not ask any questions.

At this time, in the director's office of Senna Life, Rhine received a notice from his subordinates.

——Jonas Weting arrived at the Senna Life headquarters building.

This news made her alert immediately, because the other party did not notify her before coming.

The so-called uninvited guests always come with bad intentions. Although a cooperation has been reached with the other party, Rhine has always been cautious in treating Jonas.

Instructing his men to keep a close eye on Jonas's movements, Rhine put on a women's suit jacket, tied up his hair, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he walked out the door.

.................................................. ......................

Ten minutes later, Jonas came into the conference room, and Rhine was sitting in the main seat, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"What a surprise! If I had known that Mr. Jonas was coming, I would have sent someone to greet him."

Rhine crossed her legs, looked elegant, and spoke with a smile on her face.

"This time it's mainly to give Miss Rhine a surprise." Jonas said as he sat down opposite Rhine.

Only then did Rhine notice Su Lingqing following behind Jonas, and his face froze.

Su Lingqing noticed Rhine's gaze, but remained calm and had no intention of speaking.

Rhine finally responded and spoke in a gloomy voice:

"In a sense, this is really a big surprise for me."

Now she is sure that she was cheated, and she looks at Su Lingqing with some hostility.

For some reason, Rhine suddenly remembered the scene when he first wanted to recruit Jonas. He suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he looked at Jonas with even more fear.

"Ahem, but that's not what I wanted to say."

Jonas coughed twice and said:

"Miss Rhine should still remember our cooperation, right?"

Hearing this, Lai Rhine glanced at Su Lingqing subconsciously, and then said:

"Of course I remember. Mr. Jonas helped me so much, and I haven't had the chance to thank him properly yet."

"?"

Hearing this, Su Lingqing subconsciously looked at Jonas. She didn't know what other help Jonas had done to Rhine.

If it was after the attack, Su Lingqing didn't think the two sides would be able to put aside their past grudges and start cooperating in such a short time.

If it was before the cooperation...then why would Senna Life agree to the request of Dawn Star?

Unless from the very beginning, the whole thing was a trap set by the other party.

Thinking of this, Su Lingqing suddenly felt her hands and feet getting cold, and she felt mixed emotions.

Not knowing what the two were thinking, Jonas took out the first generation sample of virtual reality and said:

"Does Miss Rhine know about virtual reality?"

Rhine didn't know why the other party suddenly brought this up, and suddenly she remembered that the other party had talked to her about this topic some time ago. Her eyes fell on the object that the other party took out.

A thought suddenly popped up in her mind, which made her a little unbelievable.

After a moment, Rhine swallowed his saliva and asked:

“What is this thing…?”

"This is what I mentioned earlier, a sample of virtual reality."

Although she had expected this, the girl still found it hard to believe when she heard Jonas reveal the identity of this thing.

You know, there are quite a few people in the federal government researching this project. Even the Federal Manufacturing Administration has a special department dedicated to studying virtual reality.

The technology that the entire Federation was helpless to deal with was actually developed by a medium-sized consortium with a certain reputation in District 25.

But Rhine's mental quality was not bad. He recovered after a brief shock. His eyes flickered and he asked:

"So Mr. Jonas, do you want to cooperate with Senna Life on this project?"

"No, I want to work with Miss Rhine on this project."

Jonas shook his head and spoke.

"..."

Even though he had thought of many possibilities, Rhine did not expect the other party to say this.

"You have to think clearly. Cooperating with me means you risk becoming an enemy of the entire Senna Life board of directors."

"I gave the answer at the very beginning, didn't I?"

What Jonas is talking about is behavior that helps the other party consolidate its position on the board.

Hearing this, Rhine gritted his teeth and said:

"Aren't you cooperating with the Arbitration Bureau? Aren't you afraid that Carol will cause trouble for you?"

"I have no intention of cooperating with the arbitration board on this matter."

——Of course, the follow-up depends on the other party’s performance.

Hearing this, Rhine was silent for a long time, as if he had not expected the other party to be able to do this.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"So, what's the guarantee...what do I have to pay?"

"Of course, there is only one thing Miss Rhine needs to pay."

Jonas smiled and said:

"That's your friendship."

After hearing this, Rhine didn't know how to start again.

The other party's sincerity made her unable to refuse, but behind it also represented a heavier feeling.

As a qualified capitalist, she is very clear that everything should be based on profit.

The so-called friendship is nothing but something that can be discarded at any time. The other party should be very clear that for people like them, promises, bonds, feelings, friendship and the like are just words and have no value.

All she had to do was ask, and she could get a world-class project at no cost.

But for some reason, the words just wouldn't come out.

After a long while, she spoke with some difficulty:

"Just friendship?"

The girl seemed to have misunderstood something.

If Carol were here, she would definitely say that what Jonas calls "friendship" is often the most precious thing.

After all, Miss Carol herself suffered a lot from this.

However, Miss Rhine did not know this, and Jonas did not explain it.

"What does Miss Rhine want to develop into?" he asked in return.

Hearing this, Rhine blushed and said angrily:

"I agreed, but I don't want to be friends with Mr. Jonas."

"If you have any conditions, just tell me directly, and I will provide everything I can."
