Chapter 128: Resignation (9) Betrayal
Two chapters today, and one more in the eveningβ
Qi Na drank two cups of tea, but Meg still didn't come back, and he gradually became a little anxious. Seeing that Song Rui has gone to the hotel to decorate, the whole office is gradually noisy, everyone knows that Qi Na, the IT director of Ludao, is leaving, and there will be a farewell dinner in the evening.
It's not so much to see off Qi Na, but to say that everyone cares more about food, dinner, and happy moments together.
Roy walked out of the office and poured a cup of coffee, since the establishment of NMC, in order to cater to his taste, Meg in the company's pantry, specially purchased a coffee machine, the coffee beans bought, freshly ground coffee, very popular with everyone, while Qi Na is an exception, more willing to make a cup of tea.
Roy said to Qi Na, "Alex, wait a minute, go to the office, let's talk." β
Although Roy works for Mr. Zhao, the majority shareholder, in Hong Kong, he is actually from the mainland, so there is no problem in communication.
But Qi Na didn't think about it at all, shook his head and politely refused: "I still have something to pack." β
He said and sat back at his desk, but the table had already been cleaned up, what else needed to be cleaned up?
Roy smiled slightly, and Qi Na also smiled, just a little embarrassed.
When it was time to get off work, Song Rui called in the hotel to direct his colleagues to leave the company one after another and head towards the hotel. But Meg still didn't come back.
Qi Na greeted his colleagues who came out of the fish, and hesitated whether to go to the hotel together, and then talk to Meg about the video capture imaging agreement at the wine table.
Emily said to Kina, "I just called Meg, she's going to the office right away, why don't you wait for her and come with you." β
Qi Na sighed, and had no choice but to do so.
The office finally quieted down, Roy and Emily sat chatting, and Qi Na sat alone, during which Zheng sent several emails asking him about the resignation procedures.
Qi Na responded to her meeting in the evening.
Waiting left and right, even Song Rui called Emily to urge, saying that the restaurant was impatient to wait, but it was impossible for the boss and today's owner to serve the food if they didn't come.
Emily asks Kina if she wants to go over first!
But Meg still didn't show up, Qi Na was already a little strange in his heart, he was doing things in Ningnan City, even if he met customers, he should be able to rush back at this time.
And as the IT director and assistant general manager, this is also a major event for the company, how could she be so careless?
Qi Na couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart!
Could it be that something happened to her?
However, Emily's phone calls and text messages to her have feedback, and it is impossible to encounter any problems.
This strange situation gradually made Qi Na fidget, and even Roy was affected, constantly turning his head to look at Qi Na when chatting with Emily.
Song Rui called again to urge Emily, and Qi Na heard it, so he said to her: "Let Song Rui eat first, don't wait for us." β
Emily whispered a complaint about Meg, and Roy sighed and didn't say anything.
Just when the meg everyone was waiting for was already impatient,
Emily jumped up and exclaimed excitedly, "It's Meg back." β
Sure enough, Meg appeared in front of everyone with a tired face.
Emily walked over and took her bag, Roy greeted politely, and she nodded hesitantly at Qi Na, "Alex, sorry to keep you waiting." β
Seeing Meg, Qi Na calmed down in his heart, and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm worried that Song Rui and they will leave with enough food and drink!" β
Everyone laughed.
But Qi Na clearly saw an inexplicable uneasiness in Meg's expression, and secretly wondered in his heart, Meg walked into his office, Roy and Emily knew that Qi Na was looking for her, so they consciously left, and Qi Na followed.
Meg beckoned Qi Na to sit down, leaned forward, crossed his hands on the table, and forced a smile to Qi Na and said, "I'm really sorry, let's keep it simple, and don't make everyone wait any longer." β
Qi Na handed her his resignation materials, Meg didn't look at them, drew the signature pen, and put down the pen one by one where he should sign, and wrote his name.
Then he pushed it to Qi Na, and Qi Na put it away.
Meg stood up with a smile and said with a smile: "Let's go, you are the protagonist of today's dinner, but the protagonist I hurt has not passed, it's too rude." β
When Qi Na looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, which was indeed too late, but the matter of the licensing agreement for the video capture imaging system was more important, and he hoped to explain it to Meg.
So he said, "Meg, there's one more thing I want to talk to you about." Meg had already gotten up, so Keina had followed suit.
Meg smiled and said, "What's the matter, why don't we talk while we eat." β
Qi Na hesitated for a moment and said: "Meg, it's not a big deal, there is a video capture imaging module in the network virtual fitting system!" β
As soon as he spoke, Meg couldn't refuse again, and sighed, as if to say: Sure enough!
Her body seemed to be weak, she fell heavily on the seat, sighed again, and said to Qi Na: "Sit down and talk." β
"This video capture imaging module was originally signed an agreement," Qi Na although he didn't understand Meg's strangeness, but he still sat down and slowly introduced: "First of all, I want to apologize to you, I told you that this system belongs to my friend, and it is free for us!" This is actually something I developed as well, but the core of this software is the foundation that I laid a long time ago, and it was a natural distinction for me! β
He looked at Meg cautiously, and didn't believe that Meg, who had a tacit understanding, would have any opinions.
However, Meg frowned, stared at his crossed hands, and did not speak.
Qi Na slowly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, thinking of all the weirdness this afternoon, and he was even more uneasy, but he still stubbornly said: "At that time, we signed a cooperation agreement between the two parties, authorizing NMC to use this system for free. Later, I think this agreement can still be continued. From my point of view, there is no problem. β
Meg still didn't speak, Qi Na was a little anxious, and finally threw his hole cards out of the air, and continued: "However, the agreement did not sign an exclusive license at that time, so in the later stage, I will consider external authorization and charge a certain fee for use." At the same time, I will also apply for a patent right away. Actually, I won't tell you the truth, I'm really short of money......"
Meg didn't react, but his body kept shaking, Qi Na looked at his eyes, and was even more puzzled, so he simply said the additional conditions: "Meg, if you think that the video capture system was developed by me in the NMC position, and this system belongs to NMC, then we can also talk about this, we can co-sign the patent, and I or NMC can be externally licensed, share the cost, or benefit from each other!" β
This is almost the bottom line that Qi Na can accept.
He shut up and looked at Meg to see how she reacted.
At this time, he calmed down, so he also figured out one thing, Meg's posture must have gone wrong. She didn't say anything, she didn't speak, just wait for her.
Emily walked back and forth twice outside the office, and her shadow was reflected on the glass, maybe she wondered, how did she enter the office to sign and talk, and it would take so long?
Meg's office
Qi Na sat facing Meg
Finally, Meg breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands on his chest, and lay down on the back of the chair. Staring at Qi Na, he said slowly: "Alex, I'm afraid not!" β
Qi Na was stunned and asked suspiciously, "No?" What doesn't work. β
Meg was very happy this time, and said very simply: "Your proposal will not work!" β
Qi Na's eyes suddenly wrinkled, and he said strangely: "It's not okay?" Can't do it? For what? β
Meg leaned forward, crossed his hands on the desk again, his eyes flashed with a hint of apology, and said word by word: "I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me." β
She apologized first, and Qi Na was even more confused,
"Taozhen Company made a bid to acquire NMC, and the offer has been mentioned to 10 billion!" Meg said slowly: "There is another company that has also made a takeover offer, the San Siro company. But was rejected by Mr. Zhao. β
"For what? The offer is low? Qi Na pressed her anxiety and patiently followed Meg's rhythm to answer her questions.
"The San Siro offer is 6. 500 million, plus the withdrawal of the case, to give Jenny freedom. This price is actually not low! Meg's voice grew lower.
"Not bad." Qi Na was actually attracted to it, and felt that there were many strange things about the message that Meg said, but he faintly felt that he was inextricably linked to the message somehow.
"Roy went back to report, but did not convince Mr. Zhao, who offered 1.2 billion, plus Jenny's freedom." Meg continued.
"Oh." Qi Na remembered that he saw that Roy had just returned from Hong Kong this morning, so he should have hurried back to mediate, but he failed! It seems that after he left the inner circle of the company, a lot of news had no source and no one told him.
"This condition is obviously impossible to be accepted by San Siro, and the plan is bankrupt!" Meg said slowly.
Qi Na whispered, "I guessed it a long time ago." β
"Alex, do you know what Taozhen and San Siro are interested in NMC?" Meg asked again.
Qi Na is really a little impatient, why can't he say it straightforwardly. Meg made Qi Na very uncomfortable in this way. Just as he was about to reprimand Meg, he heard Meg say to himself: "Actually, what they are most interested in is the virtual fitting system." β
Meg continued: "I heard from the lawyer that Jenny's case is imminent, we can't wait any longer, and this San Siro offer should be the last chance to settle. β
"Alex, what would you do if you were to switch to my place?"
Meg asked Qi Na again.
This time, after finishing speaking, her eyes widened, staring at Qi Na.
Qi Na seemed to understand something in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he looked at Meg, those bright eyes were shining and thorough, and he seemed to be able to see through Qi Na's heart.
After all, he still didn't answer Meg's question, and asked rhetorically: "Meg, what do you want to say, just say it, go around, guess riddles, it's really not my interest!" β
"I'm sorry, Alex, I'm sorry for you! The technique of this video capture imaging contains the source code, which I have transferred to San Siro in full. San Siro also paid NMC 30 million. I'm sorry, but the owner of this technique is no longer you, the people of San Siro have gone to do the patent. You don't have a chance anymore. Meg collapsed, relaxed, and slumped in his chair.
Qi Na was stunned for a full quarter of an hour, and his mind just felt incredible.
I feel like I've been tricked by someone for more than a dozen laps, like a big horse monkey being led to the street.
I only felt that a heat in my body went up from the dantian, it was anger, filling my body, I raised a foot, kicked over the glass coffee table in front of me, smashed it into slag on the ground, and roared angrily: "What the fuck, what right do you have to transfer the technique out of the mountain, you fucking count that onion!" β
His voice roared, and the piercing Meg eardrums faintly cleared, but she had to endure it slowly.
