Chapter 289 – Close Friend
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gasp from the other end. Immediately after, his breathing became rapid. The smile on Lu Ming’s face became more and more obvious. He knew that the other party would definitely be tempted! Although Tesla’s status in the car industry was unparalleled, people were always greedy.
He had done his research previously. Musk had long had the idea of letting the company develop into a mobile phone company. Then, as expected, he would compete with Apple! Now that the two sides had gradually become confrontational, Musk would probably be eager for an emerging faction to stir up this mess! If he took the initiative to suggest it, not only would it be a win-win situation, but it would also give the other party a good excuse to attack!
Therefore, he did not expect Musk to reject him.
Sure enough, as expected, Musk agreed readily. “This is great! I happened to be looking for a few qualified partners recently. I didn’t expect you to call me first. It’s simply telepathy! In the words of your country, it’s Bo Ya and what?”
Halfway through, he forgot the name.
Lu Ming did not mind. After all, it was a little difficult for foreigners to remember these words. Hence, he explained, “It’s Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi. It is a great blessing to have a confidant in life.”
“Yes, yes, yes! That’s what I said! I realized that the more I communicate with you, the more I feel that you’re the only person in the world who understands me! You understand my ideas. I never thought that I’d meet a confidant like you in China. It’s as if we have known each other for decades!”
His words were filled with respect and admiration for Lu Ming. Musk suppressed his excitement and said, “I’m sure that as long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely create a new impact on the industry! Be it cars, phones, or chips, we will do our best!”
Even Lu Ming’s mood was affected. It was undeniable that the other party’s tone was provocative.
“I think so too.”
“Hahahaha! I haven’t been so happy in a long time. I’ll cooperate fully in this matter. In a while, I’ll put together a team of my research lab staff and send them to you. My team has some clues about the chip and cell phone. The rest is up to you!”
Musk seemed to have thought of something and added, “Ever since I told them that you contributed greatly to the creation of new energy and flying cars, they have been looking forward to working with you personally. This time, they probably want to be selected no matter what.”
These researchers more or less had a temper. If they were sent to an unfamiliar environment to work for no reason, there was a high chance that they would be dissatisfied. However, it was different if they worked with geniuses! Geniuses were rare in the world. They would be extremely lucky to meet one!
Moreover, this was a rare opportunity. In the past, they only helped at the beginning of a project. In the later stages, they would be learning things instead.
“I’ll have to trouble you to take care of them.”
Lu Ming could tell what he was implying. He said, “Of course. It’s also our honor to be able to cooperate with the world’s top team. In that case, happy cooperation.”
“Happy cooperation!”

The cooperation between Tesla Company and Lu Ming Corporation seemed to have grown wings as the news spread to everyone in the elite circle. After confirming the authenticity of the information, those who were hoping for a fluke gave up completely. The former represented the top foreign car team, while the latter was the top team in the country. Wouldn’t these two be invincible if they worked together?
Why did such a good thing happen to someone else?
Doubts and denials continued, but they were mostly mixed with anticipation and surprise. People looked at these two companies and wondered how far such a collaboration could go. Perhaps it could really replace or surpass the top few companies in the market.
They hoped they would not be disappointed.
In Beijing.
In a dark basement, not a single ray of light could enter. It inexplicably made one’s heart palpitate. The pungent smell of mold and blood rushed into one’s nose. Immediately after, one could hear water droplets falling rhythmically, but it could not hide the piercing screams and pleas for mercy!
The room at the end of the corridor was filled with all kinds of strange ‘tools’. From the looks of it, the owner of this place used them very frequently. There was only a faint light shining in a small corner of the cramped space. Tang Yajing stood in the middle, wearing her white dress as usual, but the aura she exuded was completely different from the ‘little white flower’ aura from before.
At this moment, the crimson blood spots on her dress were impossible to ignore. Also, her soulless black eyes made people panic when they saw them. She was like a doll in the display window of a mall. However, the dagger in her hand showed her aggressiveness.
She wiped the stains off her hands and then wiped her face. She looked down at the middle-aged man who looked barely human and said calmly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Why did you have to beat around the bush with me? I thought you were tough and stubborn. I didn’t expect you to be so weak.”
She said to the man in the suit beside her, “The account book is under a brick at Villa No. 5 in the northern suburbs. Get someone over to retrieve it immediately. If someone takes it first, you and your family can forget about living to see tomorrow, understand?”
“Understood! I’ll do it now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the suit left without looking back.
Tang Yajing looked at the dying figure again. The middle-aged man was trembling as he curled up on the ground, battered and bruised. His originally fat body was like a punctured ball at this moment. His life force was disappearing as time passed!
It was obvious that if he was not sent to the hospital soon, he would die in less than half an hour!
But even at this point, he was muttering incoherently, “Please… please, let go… my, my family… They’re innocent… I’m sorry, I… I’m sorry, I’m… I’m sorry, Fifth Miss… It doesn’t matter if I die, but… they’re different…”
Tang Yajing was not moved at all. After all, she should be the one who found it strange, right?
She really did not know what this person was thinking. As an executive of the Tang family’s company with a bright future, he chose to cooperate with the Tang family’s rival company. Before they realized anything, he found a loophole and successfully stole the account book! An ordinary person would probably have run after taking it, afraid that the Tang family would catch him and take revenge. After all, it was human nature to be afraid of death.
