Chapter 260 What does it mean to be out of one's depth?

"The Heart of Atlantis was auctioned off to an anonymous buyer for eight hundred million dollars, twelve percent of which has been donated to charity in the company's name."

"Regarding the company's latest holographic gaming console, the decision to go public has been well received on the internet, but there are just as many skeptical voices, and it's imperative that the product's performance aspects are determined to be perfect before it goes on sale."

"The launch is tentatively scheduled for the 18th at the end of the month, but Qinghong's side, too, has chosen the same time."

Qi Chen reported the summary of the meeting, hearing this Su Qinglan couldn't help but raise her hand in salute, "Is this a coincidence or intentional?"

"On purpose." Kirchen affirmed.

"As early as three days ago, we had already set the launch and the expected opening date, and Qinghong's side redid the time to rectify the situation and set it for the same day."

That's a blatant provocation.

Su Qinglan hooked the corner of her lips, signaling that Qichen didn't need to say any more.

Interesting news she had waited for.

Since Gu Jinchi took the governing power of the Gu family, Gu Zhanyan had to be sent out to the branch Qinghong side to take up ED, and I am afraid that this time, when he came to suppress Feng Yue, he wanted to snatch back a face for Gu in the previous matter.

The horns have been more than obvious.

Only this time Feng Yue's product lies in holography, while Gu's development lies in Vr.

There are a number of points where they can bash Feng Yue, perhaps at the price, or perhaps at the physicality - after all, the first person is always the crab.

For such a study, the Feng Yue Group also poured a lot of effort into it.

That holographic device she had already experienced, the product was novel enough, the only beauty was that the game library still needed to be developed, yet it was also a step up in technology.

So when it comes to product performance, they must be finished.

She edited the proposed program and personally delivered it to Lord Ren's office.

"To come in person for such a trivial matter, did you miss me?"

He didn't have a straight face on his mouth even when he was looking over the suggestions.

Su Qinglan simply turned a deaf ear to his words, "Add me to this project."

"Are you sure? This isn't your specialty, and we won't be able to answer well on the board's end if anything happens."

He said as he finished flipping through the papers, which he then neatly set aside.

"Extra counting me, Gu's in charge of this is Gu Zhanyan right? I don't have much of an opinion on the project itself, I just want to meet him."

Su Qinglan poured herself a cup of hot water, the beginning of her nightmare was Gu Zhuyan.

If it wasn't Gu Zhuyan that day, perhaps nothing would have happened afterward.

What she went through, even after it rolled over into Sheng Feiyu's hands, haunted Gu Zhanyan like a nightmare.

Gu Lan has already gotten his comeuppance, and it's his turn next.

How could Ren Lord not know what she was thinking.

"There's no need to necessarily impose on the program if you just want to get back at him, I've got something else here."

"You have a personal vendetta don't you?"

Su Qinglan was silent for a moment, although it was a personal vendetta, she did not want to end it privately.

All the ins and outs of the situation had already been understood by Ren Lord, "Just thwarting him heavily on this project wouldn't be enough to cause him any repercussions, at most, it would make his reputation in the Gu family even lower."

"But that group of copper-flavored raised ones in the Gu family have long since sided with Gu Jinchi now, and you siding with him now is instead equivalent to paving the way for Gu Jinchi."

So that's what he cared about.

Su Qinglan looked at him who spoke out of turn and raised her eyebrows high, "After saying half a day, you still don't want me to have any interactions with Gu Jinchi."

"Right." He responded matter-of-factly.

She couldn't help but wonder, she had been about to tell him to drop it, but she didn't know what he had said to Zee that day, and suddenly he was all giddy and spirited again lately.

"What exactly did you and Ze talk about yesterday?"

"It's a man's secret." He was still pretending to be mysterious, but Su Qinglan detected a hint of something fishy.

But she didn't know how to persuade Renlord to completely dismiss the idea, and ...

It's amazing that he would block her from a program.

There must be something wrong with this.

She must do it too, Gu Jinchi was Gu Jinchi, she was her, and now she was doing things just for herself.

The conversation was a little less than cordial and she simply walked away.

The elevator went straight to the parking garage on the second basement level.

She toyed with her car keys as she walked toward her parking spot when she heard a familiar engine sound.

Perhaps it was because Gu Jinchi's car was special, and the time spent with him allowed her to accurately recognize the engine sound of Gu Jinchi's car.

It was as if her mind had been hit hard.

After subconsciously raising his head and scanning the area, he did see the same customized car in the parking lot.

After her heart seemed to have missed a beat, she subconsciously hid behind a nearby car, such a subconscious action that even she herself couldn't say why she did it.

But the next moment, the person who got out of the car made her pupils clench.

An Nian got out of the car first and welcomed down Gu Jinchi.

He looked bad, maybe it was his mood and how rested he was, and he looked as if he had the plague in his cold face.

After watching him and Annian whisper a few times, he walked in the direction she was in.

She subconsciously crouched down to hide behind the car beside her, but she didn't realize that her foot suddenly brushed against a piece of hard iron, and instantly her ankle overflowed with a striking blood stain.

She didn't hold back a breath of cold air, and the sound of leather shoes on the ground resided with her.

Luckily, Gu Jinchi wasn't the nosy type, and soon the sound of the pace sounded once again, and a little farther away.

She scrambled to cover the wound with a paper towel, but the blood that fought to gush out wet the paper towel right through and made her dizzy.

Ji Qingyue's cell phone was busy all the time, so she had no choice but to contact Lord Ren.

Receiving her message, Ren Lord pressed the elevator at the first opportunity and dialed her number, "What district are you in?"

"F15," she said in a false voice, and couldn't help but take another breath after carefully pulling out the piece of iron still remaining in her skin.

The wounds were bone deep and the tissue she was carrying was soaked through, "Hurry up or I'm going to die here."

The sharp pain in her foot made it impossible for her to move, and Ren Lord was her last hope now.

Why is it that nothing good comes out of the gate today.

The ding-dong of the elevator soon sounded, but it was only at this time that Su Qinglan thought of another thing.

Inside and outside the open elevator door, Gu Jinchi and Ren Lord faced each other, and both of them coincidentally frowned.

Ren Lord didn't have time to care about him, the sound of Su Qinglan's huffing just now seemed to still be there, he pulled his leg out and was about to go out, but he didn't expect to synchronize his movements with Gu Jinchi again.

When there was a stalemate, he could only shove Gu Jinchi out of the way with a sharp yell and anxiously ran towards the F section.

Su Qinglan hid behind the car, seeing his running voice passing by before he spoke out, "I'm here."

Bleeding so much had weakened her voice along with it.

At first glance, Renlord was so shocked by the bleeding that he appeared to be losing his mind, frowning directly as he took off his shirt and stepped forward to help her wrap the wound.

The culprit that scratched her in situ was none other than a scrap rail.

The cocked out piece of iron still had blood on it.

He had an indescribable heartache, his eyebrows bandaged and he just picked her up in a cross body, "Why are you so careless, what are you doing running to a place like this?"

"If you get an artery, you're dead, okay?"

He reprimanded as he carried her toward his car.

But he didn't expect Gu Jinchi to not leave, his figure was still at the elevator entrance looking at the direction of his side.

"I that also just want ..." Before the word hide could come out, Ren Lord whispered, "Keep your head down, against me."

She immediately reacted to what was going on and stopped saying anything and tightened her arms around Ren Lord's neck, her face close to the nape of his neck.

At this distance she could clearly see the roll of Ren Lord's throat and Gu Jinchi's eyes as he wrinkled his brows and looked over.

It s good that her hair covers her face, Gu Jinchi should ... not see her.

On the contrary, in this kind of place where he should leave quickly, Ren Lord was still walking slowly, as if he was expecting to be discovered by Gu Jinchi.

After realizing Ren Lord's purpose, she reached out and secretly pinched him, threatening in a low voice, "Hurry up and go, or I'll die."

Although unwilling, but thinking of the eye-catching wounds on her feet, Ren Lord could only glance back meaningfully at Gu Jin Chi, and after snorting softly as if he were the victor, he accelerated his pace and carried her to his car.

As they drove away, Su Qinglan could still see Gu Jinchi standing there without moving.

She inwardly prayed that she hadn't been discovered by Gu Jinchi while saying in a cold voice, "Don't think I didn't know what you were trying to do just now, if I'm exposed, you're dead."

"Are you as scared of him that much?" Lord Ren was displeased, "He even hurt himself trying to avoid him."

"The way he just looked at me made me want to hold his face right down where I scratched you."

Su Qinglan closed her eyes and endured the pain of her wound, "You know best if I'm afraid of him or not, it's just that I don't want him to know that I'm still alive, that's all."

At that Ren Lord didn't say anything, just drove the car a little faster without a word.

"Are you going to just avoid him for the rest of your life?"

"You've picked up Ze, one day he'll know you're alive and you'll have your day with him straight."

"What about that time? What are you going to do? Don't tell me you're going to keep hiding your head in the sand like an ostrich."

This time it was her turn to be silent.

Renlord was right, and it was something she didn't want to think about.

However, there would always be a day when Gu Jinchi would know that she was still alive, and she couldn't live in the darkness forever for his sake.

But the day that was really going to come to him wouldn't be now.

She took a deep breath, her wound already hurting a little, "I'm going to die in your car if you don't hurry."

After a moment's thought, she added, "I'll let him know I'm alive, but not now."

This time at least if he had given up on her, or the day Gu Yi Ze grew up.
