"Thank you!" After Cheng Jiashu left in embarrassment, Liang Sumei thanked Pete sincerely.

"Liang, would you like to go for a cup of coffee together?" Pete asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Liang Sumei agreed happily.

The coffee shop downstairs in Huihai Hotel was packed with people. Liang Sumei and Peter finally found a secluded corner to sit down. The elegant waiter carefully brought the coffee of just the right temperature to the two of them and said softly, "Please enjoy it slowly."

Peter took a sip of coffee and asked, "Liang, when you passed by the hotel lobby today, did you notice anything different?"

Liang Sumei really didn't notice it, so she shook her head.

"The front office manager has been replaced. The previous one was transferred to the kitchen to work as a cleaner." Pete explained.

This news made Liang Sumei feel particularly happy. The previous front office manager relied on his position to look down on others. He really should be taught a lesson and made to do a job that he despised, so that he could taste the feeling of being looked down upon.

"Is this your masterpiece?" Liang Sumei asked curiously.

Pete smiled and nodded.

Liang Sumei smiled helplessly, feeling powerless. In this period, sometimes one word from a foreigner is more effective than a hundred words from one's own people.

"Liang, I never thought that you, so young, would be Professor Basel's friend. I have always admired him and longed to see him in person. Unfortunately, he has gone to heaven." Pete's tone was full of regret.

"Yes, Professor Basel is a shining star in the world's scientific community. Alas!" Liang Sumei sighed deeply, her face full of regret.

"Liang, I really envy you for owning the only tablet computer in the world that was customized by Professor Basel himself. I really don't understand why this technology of his was not exposed during his lifetime? He had so many friends, but he gave the tablet computer to you." Pete asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Oh, my fate with Professor Basel began during an academic exchange in China. At that time, I showed him this watch that could record videos, and he was very interested. Moreover, my spoken English was relatively good, and I talked to him about many technological issues. Perhaps it was because of these that he treated me differently. When he gave me the tablet computer, he also said that this computer would be a great match for my watch. I was embarrassed to accept such a valuable item, but the professor said that he could make many more after he returned to his country. Unexpectedly, after he returned from China, he... passed away." Liang Sumei made up a story.

Peter believed Liang Sumei's words. "Liang, I thought your watch was also customized by Professor Bazel. I have never seen other watches that can take pictures. Where did you get this one?"

"I figured this out myself." Liang Sumei lied again.

"Wow, Liang, you really surprised me!" Peter was pleasantly surprised and continued, "Liang, you are so talented. I'm afraid China is not a good place for you to do research. Have you ever considered going to Country M to develop?"

Liang Sumei shook her head and said, "I've never thought about it."

"Oh? Why?" Pete was very puzzled.

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes 'Be content with a small fortune'. I am quite satisfied with my current situation and have gotten used to life in China. If I were to change to a new environment, I might not be able to adapt," Liang Sumei responded.

"Oh my God, that's such a pity, Liang. With your talent, I'm sure you will shine internationally in the future. If you want, I can write a letter of recommendation to Harry University, where there are world-class scientific research teams, and your creativity will be fully demonstrated there." Pete said eagerly.

But Liang Sumei still resolutely refused: "Sorry, Pete, I'm really not interested in going abroad."

"Liang, if you are satisfied with the status quo, Professor Basel's hard work will be wasted in your hands." Pete said somewhat disappointedly.

"Are you talking about the tablet?" Liang Sumei realized that Pete had something else in mind.

"Yes, the tablet computer contains the most advanced technology in the world. If we use it for research, it will definitely promote the progress of the world," said Pete.

"I... just treated it as a gift from Professor Basel and didn't think too much about it." Liang Sumei hesitated.

"Liang, how about this? You sell me the tablet and your watch that can record videos. I'm willing to pay you one hundred thousand dollars." Pete's eyes were filled with endless anticipation.

One hundred thousand yuan? Wei Zhi used one hundred thousand yuan to set up a bean product factory, and now the net profit of the bean product factory has increased many times. But Liang Sumei still refused decisively: "I can't agree to you, Peter. One is a precious gift, and the other is my research result. Even if you give me one million, I won't sell it."

"What if it's 1000 million?" Liang Sumei was a little tempted when she didn't expect Peter to raise the price so much. She thought to herself that 1000 million could build a lot of factories, but if it was used for scientific research, it would be a little too little. "One hundred million, I'll sell it!" Liang Sumei said firmly.

This number stunned Peter. Country M is currently in the initial stage of digital office. If tablet computers can be widely promoted in Country M, it will surely promote the rapid development of the economy of various industries, and the profits created will be calculated in trillions. In the long run, this deal is simply too cost-effective. However, for now, it may take careful consideration to apply for 100 million yuan from Country M. After all, those senior executives may not be interested in tablet computers. They prefer to invest in real estate and cars, and they have never been optimistic about the products in the hands of Chinese people.

"Liang, this price really makes me feel embarrassed." Pete rubbed his hands.

"I understand, but if it's less than 9999.9 million, even if it's million, I won't sell it." Liang Sumei responded with full energy and without leaving any room for negotiation.

"Okay, let me think about it again." Pete said helplessly.

"Okay, I'm leaving Shanghai on Saturday. I hope to hear good news from you before that." Liang Sumei reminded.

After Liang Sumei left the coffee shop, there were more important things waiting for her to do. When she learned that Xu Wei was going to the bar where foreigners gathered, she dressed up again, put on a short wig, and put on heavy makeup. In the dimly lit bar, even if she ran into Xu Wei, Xu Wei would hardly recognize her.

Compared with the reserved and reserved Chinese, foreigners seemed more unrestrained and enthusiastic. In the middle of the dance floor, foreign men and women gathered around each other and danced to their heart's content.

Liang Sumei noticed a blonde beauty drinking alone on a sofa nearby. She walked over and said hello: "Hi, how are you!"

The beautiful woman didn't respond and continued to pour beer from the big beer bottle.

"Beauty, you've drunk enough. If you drink any more, your body won't be able to bear it." Liang Sumei said with concern in fluent English.

Seeing Liang Sumei's fluent English and her caring attitude towards her, the foreign beauty felt a sense of intimacy. In addition, she began to talk because she was drunk. "Only by relying on alcohol can I not feel lonely."

"Are you alone in Hai City?" Liang Sumei asked.

"Well, my father is a gambler. He owed a lot of debts and wanted to sell me to pay off his debts. I had no choice but to flee to China. I really miss home and my mother so much." The foreign girl said, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
