  Chapter 42 is too seductive

  Anna Wang smiled but didn't speak.

  She sat there with dignity, eating elegantly and listening quietly to Wang Biao and Peng Yuanzhen's cross-talk, showing great patience and upbringing.

  Her face was painted with thick makeup, and it's actually hard for people to tell whether the smile on her face is genuine or fake.

  Only her fiery chest waves occasionally swayed with her body's ups and downs, the stunning snow-white gorge below her neck appeared and disappeared from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally teasing Peng Yuanzheng's mature heart and blood.

  Once she relaxed, this woman didn't need to pose or pretend to be charming and alluring, it came naturally.

  "Hey, buddy, think about it seriously," Wang Biao said with a smile. "My sister wants to bring back some of the business from M country and start anew, she needs someone to help her out. I'm planning to dive into the business world anyway, so I thought of you."

  "If I'm being honest, what's there to miss about being a small official in an institution? Why don't we just go out and make some real money together? These days, as long as you have money, everything is easy."

  "Dude, think about it, if you keep things as they are now, your thing with the princess downstairs - I guarantee, 100%, it's gonna fall apart!"

  Wang Biao was certainly well-intentioned. He had the opportunity to make a fortune, and at the first moment he thought of Peng Yuanzheng. Not only because the two had a close relationship, but also because he felt that Peng Yuanzheng was very capable and would definitely have great development once he entered the business world.

  For four years, Wang Biao had always thought that Peng Yuanzheng was a buried treasure, once the dust was removed and given the opportunity, he would rise to prominence and soar to great heights.

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled calmly, but the corner of his eye suddenly caught that when Wang Biao mentioned "the princess downstairs", a sudden gleam appeared in Wang Anna's eyes.

  Peng Yuanzheng seemed to be lost in thought, smiled and said, "Biaozi, you're not unaware that I'm not cut out for business - moreover, forgive me for speaking bluntly, Anna, your company's mainstay magnetic core storage technology is already outdated. The era of word processors is destined to be replaced by the personal PC era. Even if you move your business back home, it will probably collapse soon, and the outcome will inevitably be bankruptcy."

  Wang Anna was taken aback, and then her eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat unhappy.

  She agreed to meet Peng Yuanzheng this time, not because of the face of her distant cousin, but because of a joke made by Wang Biao - saying that Peng Yuanzheng had recently hooked up with Princess Feng Qianru of the Feng family in Beijing, which sparked her great interest.

  The Tianyi company is poorly managed in Country M, her brother Wang Peng has lost all power to turn the situation around, and it's only a matter of time before it collapses.

  Therefore, Wang Anna made up her mind to transfer part of the company's business back to the country and start anew. To develop domestically, relationships and connections are crucial. Peng Yuanzheng has a girlfriend who is a princess from a high-ranking family in Beijing, so she naturally entered Wang Anna's line of sight.

  "Xiao Peng, from what you said - it seems like you have some understanding of our company and this computer industry?" Wang Anna asked casually.

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Dr. Wang Lan's Tianyi Computer Company is world-renowned, I've been paying attention to it before."

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled, "I think the reason why your company lost in Country M is that its technology is backward and it has not grasped the development trend of the computer market. Judging from the current situation, with IBM and Microsoft rising strongly in Country M, it's inevitable that Tianyi Computer Company will be eliminated from the market. From this perspective, Anna's move to return home is still feasible."

  "The domestic market is very broad. At the current rate of development in computer technology, I'm afraid it won't be long before the domestic market far surpasses that of the United States. I reckon that in a few more years, IBM and Microsoft will also come to China to grab a share of the market."

  Peng Yuanzheng spoke eloquently, and Wang Anna's eyes became increasingly serious. She gazed at the refined young man she had not taken seriously before, saying softly, "Little Peng, go on, continue speaking!"

  "My personal suggestion is, Anna, you should thoroughly abandon the original magnetic core system and word processing technology, concentrate your technical strength, develop a personal computer, and make some achievements on the personal computer, then there will be a way out."

  "If I abandon these technologies and businesses, it's equivalent to being a lone wolf. I have no funds, no customers, what can I rely on to start anew?" Wang Anna sighed softly.

  "If I were Anna, I would package and sell part of Tianyi's assets to IBM or Microsoft, converting them into cash flow. It's worth noting that these two companies have the technology but are currently in the stage of expanding their market, they need Tianyi's mature market business group very much, if Anna operates properly, cashing out shouldn't be a problem."

  "Anna's sister started another domestic company, actually just moving the laboratory of Tianyi Company over and it was done. Utilizing existing technical strength, developing more advanced personal PCs, occupying the domestic market, future development prospects are immeasurable..."

  The rise and fall of Tianyi Computer is a classic business case that Peng Yuzhen was more concerned about in his previous life, and later many industry insiders and economists put forward various different analyses on the decline of Tianyi Computer. With these advanced information, Peng Yuzhen synthesized "quoted" them out, naturally it was a sharp insight, very incisive.

  So his casual words brought great shock and enlightenment to Wang Anna, unintentionally opening a door for her.

  "Xiao Peng, I didn't expect your judgment on the computer market to be so accurate, you're a genius!" Wang Anna leaned in, raised her glass and smiled flirtatiously, "Come on, let me toast you!"

  "I'm just kidding, Anna, haha!" Peng Yuanzheng smiled and clinked his cup with Wang Anna's, then quietly shifted his body to the side, avoiding Wang Anna's overly plump figure.

  Wang Anna's mouth curled up with a strange smile, she quietly held her wine glass and looked at Peng Yuanzheng, saying seriously, "Little Peng, to be honest, you came to help me with things, you are one of the founders of my company in China, I'll give you 10% of the shares."

  Wang Biao was stunned and waited eagerly for Peng Yuanzheng's response. With Wang Anna's assets and business, the "10% stake" she promised was not a small amount. Wang Anna was willing to invest so much money to recruit Peng Yuanzheng, even Wang Biao didn't expect it.

  Peng Yuanzheng shook his head, smiling and declining, "No pay without work, besides I'm not the material for running a business, thank you for your kind intentions, Anna."

  Peng Yuanzheng is a man of great wisdom and a reborn person, how can he not see through it? Wang Anna appreciates him, but she wouldn't give away 10% of the shares for nothing.

  It has to be said that this woman's sense of smell is extremely keen, and her target was probably not Peng Yuanzhen, but rather Feng Qianru and the Feng family behind him.

  How could Peng Yuanzheng fall for such an intangible scam. His ambition is not in the business world, if he wants to make money, why bother working for others, as a reborn person, he can easily use his information advantage to become a rich man.

  Three people ate and drank, chatting intimately, the atmosphere was very harmonious. However, Peng Yuanzheng seemed a bit distracted, leaving Feng Qianru alone downstairs, which wasn't quite appropriate.

  So seeing that it was about time, Peng Yuanzheng proactively suggested taking his leave.

  "Sister Anna, we have a long future ahead of us. When you've made it big with your business in the country, you're welcome to come invest in our Jiangbei Province. At that time, I'll definitely host a banquet to welcome and entertain you!" Peng Yuanzheng lightly grasped Wang Anna's smooth and slightly warm hand, then let go.

  Wang Anna smiled meaningfully, suddenly reached out and patted Peng Yuanzheng's shoulder, leaned over and whispered in his ear with a smile, "Sister remembers your words! Don't regret it later!"

  She leaned in so intimately, her chest pressed against Peng Yuanzheng's arm, and although the soft and elastic fullness was only a fleeting touch, it still made Peng Yuanzheng take a deep breath, thinking to himself that this woman was really too seductive, a born fox spirit, and ordinary people couldn't resist her.

  ……

  ……

  Wang Anna and Wang Biao slowly followed Peng Yuanzheng down the stairs, in the lobby of De Fu Wine House, Peng Yuanzheng was searching for Feng Qianru's figure with a wandering gaze, but heard a soft call from one side: "Brother Yuanzheng, I'm here!"

  Peng Yuanzheng turned around and walked away.

  This soft "Yuan Zheng Ge" passed into Wang Biao's ears, and the ambiguous color on Wang Biao's face immediately turned into a shocking flush. Although he kept joking with Peng Yuanzheng, in fact, he didn't really believe that Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru had gotten together, after all, their identities were too far apart.

  But this "distant expedition brother" directly crushed the last bit of doubt in Wang Biao's heart.

  And Anna's eyes shone with an even more intense light.
