While Aurelia was getting framed by Eva, another serious meeting was taking ce in a private room
located on the top floor.
The top floor was a private and grand space, so it was separated into two areas. One was made into a
romantic restaurant while the other was further divided into business
meeting lounges.
Anyone who came here to discuss business would stare down at all the people below, which only made
them feel superior.

At that moment, Jared and Leslie were sitting on opposite ends of a long meeting table. The
atmosphere in the room was suffocating as Jared observed Leslie quietly.
Leslie had exceptionally beautiful features and looked familiar somehow. He was calm and
expressionless, which meant he was clearly not someone who could be messed with.
Even a man like Jared, someone who had been in the business world for years, couldn’t see through
Leslie’s thoughts.
After a long silence, Leon asked with displeasure, “Where’s your boss? Why did he just send an
employee over?”
Daniel approached and exined, “Mr. Synder, our boss is currently overseas. He authorized the
developer, Mr. Leslie, to oversee the coboration.”
Jared was taken aback and his gaze fell on Leslie once again. He was surprised that someone so
young developed so many products.
Leon frowned. “Mr. Xenos, is this how One Technology does things? This is Scacester, not some other
country. Don’t you know the rules around here?”
Leon was reminding Leslie’s group that this was the Synder family’s territory and they shouldn’t try any
tricks.
Jared didn’t interrupt Leon but instead watched Leslie with interest.
One Technology was the firstpany that dared to set up a branch in Seacester without any regard
for the Synder family. On top of that, they even got ahead of Synder Corporation tounch new
products and refused to hand the new technology over.
Over the past decade, the Synder family’s techpanies had almost dominated the city by absorbing
and monopolizing the research and development of young people.
If it weren’t for the sudden rise in the price of MI. chips, their new productunch wouldn’t have taken
so long.
It was precisely during this period that One Technology emerged from the pack.
Initially, Jared didn’t even take thesepanies established by the younger generation. seriously. After
all, he could always exert pressure on them and find a reason to acquire the technology along with the
company.
However, One Technology continued to drag the negotiation along for over two months. It was almost
like they knew that Synder Corporation would not seed in obtaining the
ML chips.
Jared considered this meeting his way of offering grace to the founder of One Technology. That way,
both parties could reach a consensus.
Jared thought that One Technology’s new product this time had great prospects and had a deep
understanding of the young people’s market.
He had high hopes for thispany, but that only meant he would offer a good price when acquiring
One Technology.
The conference table fell into silence again because of Leon’s words.
Daniel solemnly said, “Gentlemen, rules are rules, but people can be flexible. Since it’s a cooperation
between both sides, both parties are required to show how eager they are to reach an agreement.”
“What do you mean? Do you want us to beg you?” Leon retorted.
Daniel lowered his gaze to meet Leslie’s.
Leslie twirled the ring on his finger until Leon started to lose his patience.
“Isn’t it so? Our chips can save you 20% in costs. If that’s not what you want, there’s no need to
continue discussing. The door is right there,” Leslie said.
Leon clenched his fists and was about to get up when Jared stopped him.
“Young man, you shouldn’t be too arrogant. It’s easy to offend people if you behave this way,” Jared
said sternly.
Leslie coldly looked up with indifference at Jared, his fingers inteced under his chin.
Perhaps Aurelia’s father was indeed watching over him.
Initially, Leslie expected to be filled with hatred when he finally met Jared again. Unexpectedly, seeing
this man again after more than a decade wasn’t a big deal after all.
Leslie didn’t feel a thing even when Jared failed to recognize him.
When Leslie begged for this man to care for him and his mother, Jared ordered someone to kill them
both.
That way, he could take over the profits brought by his mother, get rid of legitimate heirs, and make
way for his mistress and illegitimate child.
It was trulyughable to watch Jared try and act dignified. Leon’s humble and pretentious demeanor
was even more ridiculous.
Leslie twirled the ring on his finger and looked at Jared. “Offend whom, exactly? You? It doesn’t matter.
After all, it’s not me whose stock price has been continuously declining. Isn’t that right, Mr. Synder?”
At those words, even Jared couldn’t sit still any longer.
Leon stood up and looked at Jared. “Dad, let’s go. There’s nothing to talk about with such a small
company. Let’s see who would dare to cooperate with them without our support,” he sneered.
“It is said that the Synder family promised to release a new product next month. I wonder if it will be
another false announcement?” Leslie remarked indifferently.
After Leslie said that, Leon red at him darkly.
