Chapter 184: A Shattered Dream

There are no impermeable walls in the world, and no matter how good Four Seasons does to keep its customers' confidentiality, it can't prevent people who are waving US dollar bills.

Kahn's high-paid private investigator took less than three days to find out about Li Jiaming and Melissa's affair, but the result also disappointed him and Yang Zhiyuan. Melissa is not pregnant, and the two are only lovers, or rather physical needs for each other, and she is far less important to Li Jiaming than billions of dollars in interests.

What exactly is the reason?

I don't know, the two racked their brains and could only infer that Li Jiaming wanted to fight and bet that Google had sprung up in the field of wireless networks, otherwise it would not make sense.

Larry, who did bad things, was not idle, on the one hand, he desperately pressed Melissa to work, forcing her to be unable to go on a date with Li Jiaming, and on the other hand, he was also staring at Li Jiaming. The agreement is already in hand, as long as you stay up until the iPhone is launched, then everything is OK.

Even if Li Jiaming found out that he lied, so what? He didn't say that Melissa was pregnant, everything was Li Jiaming's own opinion, which caused the established facts, and Li Jiaming and Yahoo could still work together again?

But Li Jiaming suddenly went on vacation, and ordered 10,000 of Melissa's favorite tulips from the Netherlands, and Larry immediately knew that something was wrong. If Li Jiaming proposes to Melissa, the scam will be exposed, and who knows if the madman will pay some liquidated damages and cooperate with Yahoo again?

With tens of millions of liquidated damages, relative to billions of dollars in benefits, can Li Jiaming be expected to be stupid again?

Forced to be helpless, Larry had no choice but to call Melissa, who was very busy, and first explained the problem to the extreme seriousness, and then said sincerely: "Marissa, if the company collapses, our six years of hard work will be in vain." You tell me, what else can I do?"

"Didn't we already sign an agreement with HH?"

"No, the liquidated damages are only $80 million, and if they change their minds, Yahoo will happily pay for it. ”

"Impossible, Ming is the most trustworthy person!"

It is based on mutual trust, and if he finds out that he has cheated him, I am afraid that the money will not be paid by yahoo, and he will also tear up the agreement.

After a moment of silence, Larry said with difficulty: "Marissa, Yahoo approached me and was willing to buy us Google for a billion dollars plus two VP positions."

"You're a Judas!

Melissa, who was still covering her mouth and yawning just now, immediately screamed, and the angry voice startled Larry and made him overjoyed.

"Ok, ok, stop! I haven't said yes yet, am I not asking for your opinion?"

"No!

It's good to have a tough personality, as long as you are not willing to fail, Larry pretended to be distressed and said: "Marissa, then tell me, is there any other way to stop the HH company?"

"No, since Ming promised you, he may not keep his promise!"

"No, the truth is that Kyle rejected our request for cooperation, and it was I who used a verbal trap to fool Ming and let him interfere with Kyle's decision. ”

β€œhat?”

They are too familiar with each other, and Larry knows how to do it, so he can get Melissa to cooperate, and quickly told the truth of the facts, and said ashamedly: "Marisa, I'm not reconciled, Google is like my child, I can't let it fail like this, I'm sorry."

"You!"

Melissa's face flushed with anger, and she shivered and pointed at Larry, but she didn't scold again. After six years of hard work, Google has become her child. If it succeeds, it will be like a child growing up, she may be able to leave, but how can she watch it die?

Angry and conflicted, but in the end Melissa chose the Puritan faith and refused: "No, I won't cooperate with you." ”

"Do you know what that means?"

Facing the angry Larry, Melissa, who calmed down, calmly said, "Larry, I can understand you, but I reject you." When I turned down Oracle and chose to join Google, I wanted to be truly successful. If I had succeeded by such means, I would have despised myself!"

Joke, big joke, Larry, who was laughing angrily, finally tore off the veil of friendship and mocked: "Really, didn't you deliberately make us believe that your relationship with Ming was very special, and you took the initiative to ask Ying to negotiate with Yahoo to get a 5% stake?"

"Yes, I used some means, but I have my bottom line. ”

"Yes, your bottom line is to sleep with Ming, and then you still want to marry him?"

Melissa was disappointed, completely disappointed in her boss and friend for several years, and she didn't even have any anger, staring at this bastard who only had interests in her eyes, and said with disdain word by word: "Larry, I despise you." ”

Larry was also completely disappointed, and mocked: "Yes, you are the number one beauty in Google, even the big stars of Hollywood are not as beautiful as you! ”

A beautiful middle finger came out at Larribi, the disappointed Melissa turned away, walked to the door and remembered something, took out the Nokia mobile phone stuffed in the pocket of jeans, pulled through Li Jiaming's satellite phone, and turned on the hands-free button and teased: "Ming, I disappointed you, I didn't become a mother." ”

Li Jiaming, who was worried about not being able to grow tulips in the Caribbean, was stunned, his heart was as uncomfortable as if he was pinched by a big hand, and he sat on the grass under the coconut tree, but years of social experience made him know what to say and what not to say.

Melissa is really good, she was born in a prestigious school, she is beautiful, her IQ and EQ are very high, although she can use some small skills in the mall, she has a bottom line in everything she does, and she is independent and strong. It is also a blessing to be with such a woman for life, and it is much better than going to hit the big luck in the future.

After a moment of silence, Li Jiaming said sincerely on the phone: "Melissa, marry me!"

There was silence on the phone, and Melissa, who was suddenly proposed, was at a loss, and she was able to become close friends with Li Jiaming in the first place, a large part of which was because she admired his talent and liked his stability and maturity. However, the dream words she heard several times made her rationally extinguish the budding of love and only maintain a lover relationship.

β€œno!”

After the silence, Melissa, who came to her senses, hung up the phone cleanly, turned around and pointed down at Larry, who was like a mourning woman, and walked away with a sneer.

But Li Jiaming on the other side of the phone seemed to have collapsed, sitting under the tree for a long time and unwilling to move.

The child is gone, no, the dream is shattered.
