Zhou Yang's eyes were solemn, this was a entrustment.

  Ye Qiancheng nodded and watched him leave.

  Zhou Yang was good to her and took care of her, outsiders thought Zhou Yang also liked her. In fact, the only person Zhou Yang truly wanted to protect was Lin Yimeng, and it was because of Lin Yimeng that Zhou Yang would bring her into his own protective circle.

  Zhou Yang had just left when Ye Shengming arrived.

  As soon as he saw the robotic arm, his eyes lit up and he wanted to take it away with him when he got on the car. Ye Qingcheng followed behind, "Dad, I'm going too."

  Ye Shengming hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.

  Half an hour later, the father and daughter took the mechanical arm to the Qingmu Club.

  Li Honghao had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Ye Shengming and Ye Qingcheng come in, his gaze lingered at the door for a moment, "Just you two?"

  He agreed to cooperate with Ye's family, but his original intention was not because of the mechanical arm, but because of Gu Qingqing.

  Although the design plan of the mechanical arm is quite good, it would be even better if we could take advantage of the opportunity to establish a relationship with the Pei family's financial group.

  Not seeing Gu Qing appear, Li Honghao felt somewhat disappointed and didn't intend to conceal his emotions. As for Ye Qingcheng, he was directly ignored by him.

  Li Honghao poured a cup of wine for Ye Shengming with a smile, saying: "Old Ye, blood is thicker than water. Don't you plan to persuade your own daughter to come back?"

  From a businessman's perspective, Li Honghao found Ye Shengming's behavior incomprehensible.

  Putting aside Gu Qing's character, who would be foolish enough to abandon the good relationship with the Pei family business network and instead support a daughter without any blood relation?

  Ye Qingcheng could clearly feel Li Honghao's deliberate coldness towards her.

  She pursed her lips and said nothing.

  Ye Shengming was also embarrassed, "The child has grown up and has his own ideas. Mr. Li, take a look at this mechanical arm first."

  Li Honghao was not as anxious as he had expected, swaying the red wine in his cup and savoring it slowly, at a speed that made Ye Shengming's heart sink along with it, and Ye Qingcheng felt even more embarrassed.

  Superiors are like this, a glance, an action, can give people great pressure imperceptibly.

  This was Li Honghao's deliberate pressure on them, and also a test. The result showed that the Ye family had no intention of letting Gu Qing return to the Ye house.

  Until he finished drinking a cup of wine, he put down his glass and raised his hand, allowing professional testers to come forward and start measuring various data.

  Ye Shengming secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  The data test was very ideal and Li Honghao was also very satisfied.

  "This project can be signed, patent usage authorization is 200 million, authorization period is ten years, what do you think, Director Ye?"

  Ten years later, a new generation of more perfect mechanical arms have come out, which is equivalent to saying that the value of this mechanical arm is only 200 million.

  Ye Shengming was shocked: "Didn't you say it could be worth tens of millions?"

  Li Honghao smiled: "I said 100 million, that was considering the additional value of cooperating with Ye's family. Since the additional value no longer exists, let's go by the normal market price. A ten-year authorization for 20 million, this is the highest value I can offer."

  His intention is clear: this contract involves Gu Qingqing, and he can give him a profit of over 100 million; if not, there will only be 200 million.

  Ye Shengming wasn't unmoved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

  Finally, Li Honghao said: "I will stay in the country for a week. During this time, if Ye Zong has thought it through, he can come to me directly, but remember to bring the patent certificate. After all, this kind of thing involves infringement and that's not good."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a subordinate immediately came forward and escorted Ye's father and daughter out, not giving them any chance to haggle. This was the true attitude of a dragon head boss towards his underlings.

  Li Honghao gently knocked on the armrest of the sofa, raised his hand again, and all the people under him retreated. He sat up straight and dialed a number.

  "What's up?" came a young man's voice from the other end of the phone.

  Li Honghao respectfully and carefully told the whole story of the transaction with Ye's family, but after a long silence, he didn't give him any instructions before hanging up the phone.

  Li Honghao felt inexplicably flustered in his heart, but he didn't dare ask what that meant.

  Ye Shengming took Ye Qingcheng away from the Qingmu Club and did not return to school directly.

  "Dad, where are you going? This isn't the way back to Yizhong!"

  Ye Shengming was extremely annoyed, and the big piece of fat in his mouth suddenly turned into pulp. How could he swallow that breath? It was all because of Gu Qinqin's fault.

  "Let's go to the patent office!"

  He has a bad temper.

  "Dad, you're not thinking of..."

  Ye Shengming gave a cold glance over, Ye Qingcheng knew that now was not the time to go against his dragon scales.

  Ye Shengming can abandon even his own daughter for the sake of interest, let alone this adopted daughter?

  "Dad, if you insist on doing it this way, then the patent must be in my name!"

  Ye Shengming hesitated for a moment before answering: "Okay!"

  It wasn't until near dusk that Ye Qingcheng finally returned the mechanical arm to the laboratory.

  Lin Yimo was still sitting in the lab, maintaining the posture she had when she left, and Ye Qingcheng's heart began to ache again.

  Originally, her plan was to borrow Zhou Yang's hand to "steal" the mechanical arm out and return it after dealing with Ye Shengming and Li Honghao. This way, Lin Yimo would not only not suspect her but also be grateful to her for retrieving the mechanical arm intact from Zhou Yang. But now...

  If Lin Yimo knew she had stolen his patent, how would he look at her?

  "Also, brother Mo, the mechanical arm has been retrieved, it's fine, not a single damage." Ye Qingcheng said carefully.

  Lin Yimo didn't look at the mechanical arm, but stared at her phone and asked, "How is he?"

  Zhou Yang has been refusing to answer his calls.

  Ye Qingsong was silent for a while, then replied: "Gu Qingqing sued him, and the Zhou family also encountered some trouble. He told me that he might not be able to come to school recently."

  It's better if Zhou Yang doesn't come to school, she'll have more room for maneuver.

  She was about to mention the patent matter when Lin Yimo suddenly looked up and said, "Is Uncle Ye cooperating with Honghao Group on mechanical arm?"

  Ye Qingcheng's heart suddenly panicked, feeling that all her tricks had been seen through by Lin Yimeng.

  She subconsciously wanted to make excuses and shift the blame, but restrained herself.

  "Also Mo Ge, why are you asking this?" Ye Qingcheng's heart was extremely guilty.

  Lin Yimo: "I was thinking, Uncle Ye's mechanical arm and mine, which one is stronger? Will the Ye family need my mechanical arm?"

  Ye Qingcheng was overjoyed, her heart racing with excitement, and the unease she had felt earlier instantly vanished.

  Originally, Mo Ge had intended to give the mechanical arm to her, but now that he thought about how she had schemed to monopolize it, he found it laughable.

  "Awesome, Muge! Your research is the most impressive, no one can match it!"

  Lin Yimo's mouth twitched slightly, "You've had a hard day today, go back first."

  Ye Qingcheng's whole body felt relaxed, she nodded slightly, her footsteps light and quick as if about to take off.

  Yi Mo Ge is so good to her, she won't let him down either.

  Ye Qiancheng left, and Lin Yimo immediately dialed Gu Qingqing's phone number:

  "Gu Qiangqiang, as long as you don't tell Zhou Yang, I'll give you the patent. It can help you return to the Ye family..."
