Rebirth: Encyclopedia System

Park Jae-yong and Zhao An exchanged a glance; the two sinister individuals seemed to share a common accord.

They weren't close friends, just business partners with whom they could continue their discussions.

"Your invention is unique in the world. Perhaps there will be others in the future, but right now, you only have this one. Have you considered licensing your patented technology to us? We won't be stingy with the patent fees, and we can also collaborate in other areas." Park Jae-yong immediately began to negotiate.

"Let's talk about it after the tour. My patents aren't easily loaned out. The Android smartphone market has given us three months to seize the market. Others certainly have R&D, but they're nowhere near as advanced as mine. Three months later, my version has already been updated ten times, while theirs is still just the basics. How can they compete with us?" Zhao An spoke as he walked, his tone brimming with pride.

The more he looked, the more alarmed he became. Zhao An made no attempt to conceal his true intentions. At this production rate, they'd probably already produced over three million phones.

"Mr. Zhao, aren't you worried that such a rapid production rate might leave some of the survivors stranded?" Lee Boo-jin expressed her doubts.

Zhao An turned to look at the eldest daughter of the Sanxing Group. She was still very young, in her twenties, perhaps around twenty-five, a college graduate who had come to work for the family business. She was youthful and energetic, and more importantly, she possessed that youthful exuberance that only a young woman possesses. This was the true difference between a young woman and a mature woman.

The youthful vigor of a young woman, her longing for life, was infectious. A mature woman, having weathered the test of time and the rigors of life, was left with a calm and composed demeanor.

Lee Boo-jin met Zhao An's gaze for the first time, gazing at this young man from a foreign land. She was already a graduate student in the United States, a very bright one. Now that she had met someone even smarter and younger, she was immediately intrigued.

In reality, Zhao An's assets were a drop in the bucket compared to the Sanxing Group, barely even the tip of the iceberg.

In a head-to-head battle, the Sanxing Group would undoubtedly win. But even if they won, it was a pyrrhic victory, ultimately giving their competitors the opportunity to swallow them up.

No one would do such a foolish thing, and this was another scene of cooperation.

Zhao An also looked at the young Lee Boo-jin. "The eldest princess of Sanxing Group is indeed very beautiful. You are quite good, very independent and brave, and you dared to say no to your own marriage."

"What do you mean?" Park Jae-yong was a little confused.

A hint of sarcasm curled the corners of Zhao An's mouth. "It's simple. I think Miss Lee Boo-jin's boyfriend is just a security guard. You probably don't know that he used the money you gave him to visit prostitutes and even found a low-profile celebrity. Wow, Sanxing Group is indeed wealthy. Having a security guard as a boyfriend is nothing, but paying a boyfriend to keep a mistress is unheard of."

"You, don't talk nonsense. Woo Jae is not that kind of person." Lee Boo-jin suddenly lost her composure. She just thought the security guard was nice. Even though they hadn't been dating much, she would occasionally give him little favors, trying to help her boyfriend, who came from a humble background.

"Little sister, you're really serious!" Park Jae-yong was furious. This was truly disrespectful, and being discovered by an outsider was a disgrace to the family.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your saga. Whether it's true or not, you can find out with just a phone call. I just want to tell you. This is the information age. There's nothing I don't know, except what color underwear you're wearing today. Haha, just kidding. Please come this way." Zhao An continued walking ahead.

Li Boo-jin's composure was shattered. Having her relationship exposed so quickly was not good news. As Zhao An had said, she chose to keep it secret for the family's benefit. After all, her sister was sent abroad to study because of her secret relationship. Controlling her own marriage? That's impossible, very rare.

Qian Yuling watched all this with interest. She knew her young husband wouldn't let Lee Boo-jin go. But what did this have to do with her? It would be fine if she didn't come in. If she did, she would still call her Big Sister. She was the head of the Zhao family!

Ambitious women are always ambitious wherever they go, and Qian Yuling is no exception. The difference is that she's now in love with Zhao An, so naturally, she's always thinking about him first.

The group continued forward, soon arriving at a playground.

Zhao An snapped his fingers, and a swarm of drones took off. A self-balancing scooter with a display screen slowly approached, its image constantly changing.

"This is my latest invention, a drone. It can take aerial photos. The photography industry is bound to become increasingly high-end in the future. I'm talking about serious photography. Private photos and adult photography don't fall into that category." Zhao An displayed his inventions. Many were ubiquitous items from a previous life, but now, more than a decade later, they're breathtakingly high-tech gadgets!

Park Jae-yong's eyes lit up. Used well, this kind of thing could be a powerful negotiating tool, definitely allowing the Shanxing Group to advance further in the division of profits in the upcoming negotiations. "Mr. Zhao, I think we could sit down and have a proper discussion at noon. Our group is very interested in your company's inventions."

"Of course, that's no problem. Do you need to take care of anything else first? Wife, please entertain Ms. Lee while Mr. Park and I continue our walk." Zhao An, without the slightest hint of disguising himself, called Qian Yuling "wife" in front of the two of them.

This word of "wife" made Qian Yuling inexplicably overjoyed. Although she claimed she didn't want to get married, it was to give Zhao An a good future and not be held back by her. This was simply for the man's benefit. However, when her status was recognized, she naturally felt very proud, this official affirmation.

"No problem, leave it to me." Qian Yuling's smile grew even brighter. Nothing made her happier than a man's affirmation.

Park Jae-yong's eyes flickered, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​seducing Qian Yuling. A woman with such determination, seduction was just wishful thinking.
