**Booming sounds...**
The helicopter's engine roared.
The private plane from the Penguin Group had been circling for quite a while!
The pilot looked around for a long time!
The rooftop of the Rongteng Building was large.
But aside from the helipad, there was almost no flat surface!
It was risky!
A hasty landing was not an option!
Moreover, there were quite a few towering flagpoles.
Hovering at a low altitude wouldn't work either!
Li Daode's brow furrowed, his face flushed red!
Things weren't going well!
He was thoroughly embarrassed!
Incredibly awkward!
He had never felt this embarrassed before!
He looked down at the bustling crowd, and at Situ Zhou, who was struggling to make an impact!
How could the mighty Penguin Group be ignored like this?
This upstart, Coder!
It infuriated him!
In the end, Li Daode decided to swallow his pride for now!
As long as he could get what he wanted, acquire them, wouldn't he then have complete control?
Join their board!
Change their strategy!
Take their traffic!
And let them perish naturally!
A thousand ways to do it!
I'll deal with them later!
Li Daode opened the cabin door, stuck his head out halfway, and shouted, "Zhang Tianjia, listen up! I'm Li Daode, Vice President of the Penguin Group!"
In the midst of the noise.
The people on the ground vaguely heard a voice through the helicopter's roar.
It was faint and seemed like it was coming from a scrap collector.
A Jia sighed, motioned for everyone to step aside, and looked up at the sky.
He tilted his head and cupped his ear, "What?"
"Zhang Tianjia, listen up! I'm Li Daode! I need to talk to you!"
"What?"
"I'm Li Daode, I want to talk to you!"
"What? A river? There's a boat?"
A Jia strained his ears as if he couldn't hear clearly.
Could he hear?
Of course!
Li Daode was almost shouting his lungs out!
Everyone could hear him clearly!
But Penguin was Coder's biggest competitor!
And A Jia himself didn't have a good impression of this plagiarizing Penguin Group!
Most importantly, Liu Di had said that Coder wouldn't accept any acquisitions!
So.
A Jia pretended to be hard of hearing!
"I'm Li Daode, I want to invest in your company and develop together!"
"What? Row a boat together?"
Li Daode was nearly coughing up blood!
"Name your price, we can talk about any amount!"
A Jia waved his hand, raised a glass of champagne high, and said, "No deal, no deal, we're drinking here!"
The classmates were all stunned!
Was this a negotiation?
This was a joke, right?
Ground-to-air negotiations?
Shouting to communicate?
And President Zhang was pretending to be hard of hearing?
No one had ever seen such a bizarre negotiation!
And the other party was a giant like Penguin Group!
Judging by Zhang Tianjia's attitude, he didn't seem to care at all!
Everyone secretly clicked their tongues!
A Jia, Coder, they were indeed impressive!
They were witnessing something extraordinary today!
Only Liu Di stood there with a smile on his lips, quietly observing everything!
**Cough, cough, cough!**
On the plane, Li Daode began to cough violently due to overexerting his voice!
"Enough!"
Suddenly, a low, angry voice came from inside the cabin, "You're acting like a clown, disgracing our group!"
Li Daode's expression changed instantly upon hearing this!
He immediately fell silent, not daring to utter another word!
"Bring the plane down to the edge of the rooftop!"
The low voice, filled with authority, commanded the pilot!
The pilot didn't dare to hesitate!
He maneuvered the plane, lowering its altitude, trying to find a safe spot to approach the edge of the rooftop.
However.
There were too many obstructions on the rooftop.
The plane couldn't get too close!
It finally hovered about a meter above and a meter away from the edge of the rooftop!
The people on the rooftop looked at the plane in confusion!
Were they going to disembark?
That seemed a bit dangerous!
Li Daode stuck half his body out, gripping the cabin door tightly.
He glanced outside!
His body instantly shuddered!
Oh my!
The distance didn't seem far, but this was the rooftop of the 89th floor!
The people on the ground looked like tiny dots!
A single misstep would mean certain death!
It wasn't just him.
Even someone else would hesitate to step out!
Li Daode found himself stuck in a difficult situation once again!
"Move aside!"
The authoritative voice came again from behind him!
Li Daode quickly stepped aside, looking into the cabin with reverence!
Then, a middle-aged man in a black suit slowly emerged from the cabin.
The man had a handsome and stern face, with a powerful presence in his expression!
His face was cold and resolute.
He stepped to the edge of the cabin and took one step out!
He directly stepped onto the edge of the rooftop, standing firm!
That step was as steady as a mountain!
The 89-story height felt like flat ground to him!
He showed no fear!
He slowly walked to the center of the rooftop.
His sharp gaze swept across the crowd, landing on Liu Di and the others!
**Gasp...**
Some people shivered in response!
This was...
This was!
Teng Hualong!
He had been in the helicopter the whole time!
His titles were numerous!
President of Penguin Group, Founder, the second richest person in China, ranked 103rd on the Forbes Billionaire list!
He was so powerful that he didn't need an introduction!
So powerful that everyone knew who he was!
He was a person who seemed to live in the news!
His life had been chronicled in countless biographies, countless reports!
Countless legendary stories from his entrepreneurial journey!
He was practically the idol of every internet entrepreneur!
The most positive and frequently cited success story by every training teacher!
A figure of fantasy!
He was even rumored to be a time traveler from the future!
With overwhelming power, he controlled half of the internet!
And now, he had arrived!
Why was he here?
To acquire Coder?
That didn't seem necessary?
Given his status, there was no need for him to personally come!
He was, after all, the soul of Penguin Group!
Everyone was puzzled once again!
This felt surreal!
Was Coder really that powerful?
To attract such attention from Penguin Group, to warrant the presence of Teng Hualong?
Situ Zhou, an executive at Penguin Group, was as if frozen!
Stunned on the spot!
He knew the group took Gemini very seriously!
They considered it the biggest threat in three years!
Vice President Li Daode coming to negotiate already said it all!
He had indeed reported today's plan to the group!
But he never expected the President himself would come!
Even as an executive, he hardly saw the President in person a few times a year!
Teng Hualong was not only a god-like figure in the eyes of outsiders!
He was also revered as a deity by Penguin employees!
Even Situ Zhou found it hard to believe what he was seeing today!
"Good morning, everyone."
Teng Hualong merely stood there, but his aura of dominance instantly spread over a distance of tens of meters!
It made everyone tense up!
He greeted politely.
But no one knew whether to respond or not!
Teng Hualong smiled slightly and said loudly, "Friends of Coder, since I've come personally, please give me some face and come out for a chat!"
Everyone turned to look at A Jia!
A Jia frowned!
Although he didn't regard Penguin Group highly.
The sudden appearance of this super big shot, Teng Hualong, brought an unexpected pressure!
A Jia pursed his lips and took a slight step forward.
But then Teng Hualong smiled again and said, "President Zhang Tianjia, you're a young and talented leader. You've managed to organize Coder efficiently in a short time, and I'm impressed!"
"You're one of the most outstanding management talents I've seen in recent years!"
"But!"
"Today, I want to meet with another core member of Coder, the true founder, the real mastermind..."
"I want to meet this person!"
Teng Hualong's voice grew louder, carrying a force that resonated within everyone!
After speaking, he nodded towards A Jia, then folded his hands behind his back and looked at the crowd!
An invisible aura of intimidation spread!
Just as A Jia was about to face this formidable opponent alone, he hesitated.
He was conflicted!
Should he step forward or not?
Suddenly, there was a soft sigh!
A strong hand rested on A Jia's shoulder!
"President Teng of Penguin Group, your reputation is well-deserved!"
The young man who had been ignored in the crowd suddenly raised his head!
He chuckled, "Junior Liu Di greets President Teng!"
