In the email, Will stated that he was not only dissatisfied with the existing contract terms, but also directly pointed out that the technology contained significant hidden dangers, making it difficult to proceed with the market launch as originally planned.
They received feedback from users in the pilot area that the software was suspected of illegally stealing user information.
Upon receiving the news, Meng Yuting immediately reported it to Pei Weijin, and the technical team began an emergency investigation.
The software prioritizes user information protection during its development phase. After another round of screening, it was confirmed that there are no security risks or vulnerabilities and it fully complies with information security standards.
During the risk assessment, other partners who had agreed to meet with the company also heard the news and requested to postpone the meeting, which hindered the expansion of overseas markets.
Pei Weijin had to adjust his plans to return to China and flew to Italy with his team.
When they arrived at the cruise ship designated by Will as agreed, Pei Weijin found that he was not alone.
Sixteen hours ago.
The Italian seas were shrouded in darkness when a luxury cruise ship pierced the dark horizon, its lights shining brightly and dazzlingly.
The deck was decorated with extreme extravagance, with dazzling lights changing in a glittering fashion. Guests from all over the world wore masks and gorgeous clothes, moving to the rhythm of the music. The program on the central stage was even bolder and more outrageous.
Despite the festive atmosphere, a tense atmosphere prevailed. Mercenaries patrolled the entire cruise ship, especially in the conference room at the end of the corridor, where the number of mercenaries far exceeded that in other areas.
The meeting room was decorated in an elegant Chinese style, with a fragrant incense burner filling the room, creating a quiet atmosphere that seemed to belong to a different world from the outside.
Two groups of people sat facing each other on either side of the tea table.
The man in the suit sat quietly, his face indifferent and aloof, unmoved by anything.
The elderly French gentleman, Ivan, sitting opposite him, finally couldn't contain himself any longer.
He arrogantly beckoned to the tea master standing to the side, his tone carrying an unquestionable air of authority.
"The new waiter is so clueless! Why isn't he serving our respected Mr. Pei some tea?"
"Yes, Mr. Evan."
When the tea master's name was called, he trembled with fright and quickly lowered his head, meekly pouring tea for everyone.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air, subtly stirring emotions and blurring the contours of everyone's faces.
As Mr. Ivan spoke, Pei Weijin's voice was as cold as ice: "Will, you should know that in Italy, the maximum penalty for defamation is life imprisonment."
He didn't reach out to take the cup of tea, nor did he speak to Mr. Evan. Instead, he looked intently at Will across from him and spoke in Chinese.
Will was still wearing his flashy shirt, looking out of place among the group of gentlemen in suits.
He gulped down the tea, hissing from the heat, and forced himself to endure the numbness on his tongue. He then waved his hand with a grin, trying to distance himself from the situation.
"This has nothing to do with me. What slander? Mr. Pei, you're exaggerating. It was just a precautionary measure. Nobody expected that the word would get distorted as it was passed around, and that someone would send you an email without permission, causing such a big misunderstanding. I've already fired that intern to show my sincerity in this cooperation."
As Will spoke, his eyes rolled upwards several times, clearly indicating that he was lying, and he didn't forget to detach himself from the battlefield.
"Besides, this was at Mr. Ivan's behest, so I had no choice, did I? If the two of you can reach an agreement smoothly, then I would very much like to continue our pleasant cooperation. When we sign the new contract, I'll give up two percent of the profits, how about that?"
Will's words made it clear: don't bother him if you need anything; it was all Ivan who made him do it, and he wanted to cooperate, ideally achieving a happy ending for everyone.
Without even waiting for Pei Weijin's response, she stood up and ran away.
Just kidding. Although he had some shady dealings in Italy, he valued his life, and besides, his family had always planned to retire from the criminal world and do legitimate business.
The French Ivan family is a force to be reckoned with; they engage in shady, high-profit businesses and are a bunch of madmen and thugs!
The conference room door slammed shut, and Will ran away as if his life depended on it.
Mr. Evan maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, his eyes unfathomable.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Pei, you should have received an invitation to my youngest daughter's birthday party before."
Pei Weijin raised his eyes and looked at the weapons tightly gripped in the hands of the mercenaries behind him.
"Received." His voice was calm and even.
"Then why didn't Mr. Pei participate? Is there some dissatisfaction with our Yiwen family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ten mercenaries waiting inside the room instantly reached for their weapons, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Pei Weijin chuckled, paying no attention to the mercenaries eyeing him menacingly.
He gave a vague answer: "I went back to China to handle some urgent matters, and the timing just happened to conflict with the schedule."
Mr. Ivan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Going back to China to handle some matters? What matters?"
Just then, Pei Weijin's phone vibrated in his pocket.
It was a message from Yan Zhuoyu.
He paused briefly, quickly analyzing the current situation. He sent short messages to Yan Zhuoyu and his assistant, sent a distress signal to the embassy, and decisively formatted all the data on his phone.
Once everything was arranged, Pei Weijin replied simply, "Just some trivial work-related matters."
No details were disclosed regarding Yan Zhuoyu.
Mr. Ivan leaned back in his chair, saying with a hint of amusement, "Mr. Pei seems to lack sincerity. My people have found out that you returned to the country to handle family matters."
"And the information you just received must also be related to family matters," Mr. Evan said with a certainty.
He waved his hand, and two mercenaries quickly stepped forward and submerged Pei Weijin and Meng Yuting's phones in water.
Then, Mr. Ivan gestured for the tea master to continue pouring tea, and said casually, "My people also found out that Mr. Pei is already married."
"However, I heard it was a secret marriage, and your partner is a minor celebrity named Yan Zhuoyu, is that right?"
Mr. Evan's gaze was fixed on Pei Weijin's face.
Pei Weijin remained expressionless, showing no emotion even upon hearing Yan Zhuoyu's name.
Mr. Evan had been testing him, but seeing his behavior now, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
But these concerns were not important to Mr. Evan.
He gave the mercenary a wink, and the tea room suddenly opened, revealing a blonde beauty in a red dance dress walking gracefully in high heels.
Her peach blossom eyes, as clear and bright as jade, were now filled with a playful smile as she sat down directly next to Pei Weijin.
"I wonder if I would have the honor of dancing with Mr. Pei today?"
Meng Yuting, who had been moved to sit aside, fell silent.
He has an exceptional memory, so he naturally remembers where he said that phrase.
However, things are different now. It was safe to refuse at a banquet in China before, but today the meaning of this French beauty is very dangerous.
Dance with her or die.
It boils down to a choice between life and death; anyone with a brain knows which to choose.
But Evan's youngest daughter's appetite was certainly not so easily satisfied; choosing dancing was merely a paltry appetizer to win her over...
Regardless, his CEO Pei is really tough; he even had a weapon pointed at his forehead and didn't panic at all.
But Meng Yuting himself was really panicked!
