2172 CEO Lu, Can I Ask Who It Is?

Ji Ziyin pinched her palm, and her breathing was about to stop. “CEO Lu, can I ask who it is? I’m really curious to know who is more suitable to cooperate with Tian Chen on this project than the Ji family.”

“Heh.” Lu Zhi chuckled. It was unknown if he knew what she was thinking. “You want to know?”

“That’s not surprising, right? Anyone in the independent continent will want to know who the person who won this cooperation is.”

Ji Ziyin seemed calm, but her heart was already in her throat. She was so nervous that her back was tense.

“Or is it inconvenient for CEO Lu to say?”

Not affected by her provocation, Lu Zhi ignored her for a full minute before saying casually, “It doesn’t matter if I tell you. Country Z’s research institute, the Qin family.”

Ji Ziyin blurted out, “Country Z?!”

In the past two days, she had thought of countless possibilities. For example, someone from the royal family of Country M or some force in the illegal district. Or Xie Xinyao’s family, who was also eyeing this project covetously…

However, Ji Ziyin had never thought of Country Z.

Chip technology was one of the hottest technologies in the world right now. Country Z’s Qi family appeared on an exchange forum in the illegal district last year and was slightly in the limelight.

Other than that, Country Z could be said to be uncompetitive in this aspect.

Moreover, Ji Ziyin did not expect Lu Zhi to choose the Qin family instead of someone with a powerful background.

She understood the situation in Beijing. There were only a few families at the top of the pyramid, and the Qin family was barely one of them.

Among them, the Young Master of the Qin family was very close to the young master of the Ye family.

As a result, the Qin family’s status in Beijing rose.

The Qin family was promising.

However, their potential was not enough to challenge the forces in the independent continent. She really could not understand why Lu Zhi chose the Qin family…

“I’ve already discussed this with the Qin family and the contract has already been signed. The collaboration for this project is already a sure bet. There’s no room for negotiation.” Lu Zhi’s ethereal voice reached Ji Ziyin’s ears at this moment, like a blow to her head.

Ji Ziyin immediately saw stars and could not breathe. She could not accept this outcome. “CEO Lu, isn’t your decision too hasty?

“The Qin family is not a good partner. You have a better choice. I really don’t understand why you chose them in the end…”

“A better choice?” Lu Zhi sneered and asked, “Who’s the better choice you’re talking about? You? Or the Ji family behind you?”

Ji Ziyin was not humiliated. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, neither servile nor overbearing, “Even if CEO Lu doesn’t cooperate with me, there are still so many forces in the independent continent for you to choose from. Even the Lu family’s main family is stronger than the Qin family…”

“Ji Ziyin.” Lu Zhi’s voice was still teasing at first, but at this moment, it suddenly turned cold. He could not suppress a murderous vibe from coming out. “I know your thoughts very well. I advise you not to act smart. As for why I don’t intend to cooperate with the Ji family? I’ve told Mr. Ji the reason.

“It’s actually very simple. I don’t think highly of the Ji family’s younger generation! No one in the younger generation can take over the family.

“What I want is a mainstay. The Ji family can’t give me a good future prospect for my project, so I naturally have to choose a more suitable candidate.”
