Chapter 18 - The Masquerade Ball

The Shen family.

 Xu Feng strode into the study room and reported to Shen Bei, "Young Master Shen, Bu has agreed to cooperate."

 "Also, they said that they want to talk at eight o'clock tonight."

 Shen Bei frowned slightly. Was the other party in such a hurry? He had not prepared the relevant information yet.

 "Not only that, but Bu has also expressed that if we can't do it by 8 p.m. tonight, they'll cancel the cooperation." Xu Feng looked at Shen Bei's expression and lowered his voice.

 Shen Bei had long heard that Bu was difficult to deal with, but he did not expect them to be so shrewd.

 Xu Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Bei, only to see that his expression was extremely ugly.

 He did not even dare to breathe loudly as he silently waited for Shen Bei's response.

 "Eight o'clock it is then. Make the arrangements and send someone to collect the relevant information." Shen Bei was never one to admit defeat easily, so he spoke up.

 "Yes." Xu Feng didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around to carry out the task.

 Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, Tang Qin and Huo Man sat in the car in silence.

 Huo Man was leaning against the window, her long fingers gently stroking the dark mask in her hand.

 She had arranged to meet Shen Bei at a masquerade party held by a bar.

 At the masquerade party, everyone had to wear a mask, so they couldn't recognize each other.

 It was precisely because her identity could be concealed that Huo Man chose to meet him here.

 "Tang Qin, go and talk to Shen Bei later. Just do as I told you. There's no room for negotiation." Seeing that they were about to arrive at the bar, [Luminous], where they had agreed to meet, Huo Man spoke.

 "Keep talking," Tang Qin nodded.

 "Alright," she said. Huo Man had already put on the micro Bluetooth headset and raised her hand to gently put the mask on her face.

 At the masquerade party at the [Luminous] bar, everyone was wearing an exquisite mask, and the only thing that attracted each other was a pair of bright eyes.

 Huo Man could see Shen Bei at a glance.

 Among the people who were wearing masks, Shen Bei's temperament was too unique.

 He was wearing his usual black suit and a black mask. He looked extremely depressed. Several girls saw him, but they didn't dare to approach him and talk to him.

 "That's Shen Bei. " Huo Man hid in Shen Bei's blind spot and said to Tang Qin who was beside her.

 Tang Qin nodded. He picked up the documents in his hand and walked towards Shen Bei.

 "Young Master Shen, that must be the person that Bu sent to meet you." 

 "Tang Qin?" Xu Feng immediately noticed Tang Qin.

 Shen Bei looked at Tang Qin and examined his surroundings.

 It seemed like he was the only one who had come to negotiate.

 "Young Master Shen?" Tang Qin inquired as he walked up to Shen Bei.

 "Yes." Shen Bei replied softly.

 Tang Qin reached out his hand and shook Shen Bei's. "Hello, I'm the person sent by Bu to discuss cooperation with you. My code name is Q."

 Xu Feng secretly sighed. This Bu was really cautious. The name of the person they sent to cooperate with could not even be revealed to the public. They just gave a code name.

 "The Shen group is interested in cooperating with Bu on the bionic robot project. I wonder if you can provide us with technical support." Shen Bei told Tang Qin his intention.

 Tang Qin followed Huo Man's order and said, "If it's a cooperation with the Shen group, I'm naturally willing. I'm sure you've heard that Bu has the most advanced artificial intelligence technology, so it's naturally not difficult for them to make bionic robots. "

 "However, H said that we need 40% of the shares in this project."

 Shen Bei was expressionless, but Tang Qin could clearly feel the temperature around them drop.

 Huo Man's fiancé's aura was a match made in heaven with hers, and they both had a strong sense of oppression.

 However, Tang Qin, who had been living by Huo Man's side, was not afraid at all. He looked into Shen Bei's deep eyes and waited for his answer.

 Before this, Shen Bei did not think that Bu would demand such an exorbitant price and ask for 40% of the shares.

 "What if I say I don't agree?" Shen Bei raised his eyebrows and met Tang Qin's gaze.

 "I'm sorry. If you can't meet this requirement, then we won't work together. " Tang Qin turned around and prepared to leave.

 However, Xu Feng blocked his way.

 "Why don't you get your H to talk to me personally?" Shen Bei's lips curled up as he waited for Tang Qin's answer.
