CHAPTER 696 BEG ME TO TAKE IT

Jiang Ning then walked straight into the elevator without bothering about the stunned look on the receptionist's face.

DING!

He stepped out of the lift and saw the Deputy Director's office at the end of the corridor. The name on the door was Yang Ming's name. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Jiang Ning knocked on the door and someone on the inside called him to come in.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Yang Ming was seated on his office chair with his legs crossed. He saw Jiang Ning come in and scoffed.

"Who are you? Where's Lin Yuzhen? Lin Group really knows how to pull a dirty trick huh."

He didn't bother being polite at all. Even though nobody had said anything explicitly, they both knew what he was talking about.

"Mr Yang, are you complimenting me?" Jiang Ning walked over and sat down in front of Yang Ming. "I'm CEO Lin's driver, and since this is just a small matter, she doesn't have to settle it. I can settle this for her."

Yang Ming glanced at Jiang Ning and scoffed in disdain. This was such an important matter and Lin Yuzhen got her driver to come instead?

Was she looking down on Yang Ming? Or did she think a mere driver would be able to get the data from him?

"Humph, go back and tell Lin Yuzhen," said Yang Ming directly. "We're not able to provide the data that Lin Group wants. The research lab has found certain issues with the data and it needs to be corrected and reanalyzed before it can be released. This will take another several months to complete, so you can come again after that."

Jiang Ning let out a laugh. He pulled out his cigarettes and stuffed one into his own mouth, then threw another one onto Yang

Ming's desk.

"Mr Yang, you're gone too far in saying something like that."

Yang Ming glanced at Jiang Ning and didn't care about the cheap cigarette that Jiang Ning had thrown on his desk. His face was filled with disdain.

"This data should be made public within the industry. This is part of Mr Yang's work and also your responsibility. Why can't you provide it when Lin Group is asking for it?"

"Who do you think you are?" Yang Ming narrowed his eyes. "None of this is up to you!"

Jiang Ning smiled and pulled a lighter out to light his cigarette. He had waited to smoke for a long time now. Now that Lin Yuzhen wasn't around, he dared to smoke.

The cigarette smoke filled the air and Yang Ming started coughing immediately. He opened his mouth to shout at Jiang Ning but Jiang Ning spoke up first.

"Mr Yang, let's go straight to the point. What conditions do we have to agree to in order for you to provide the data? It's very tiring for both of us to keep beating around the bush."

Yang Ming used his hands to fan the air around him and was filled with contempt.

"Tell Lin Yuzhen to see me herself!" he scoffed. "You have no right to talk to me, please leave!"

"Oh no no," Jiang Ning shook his head. "Mr Yang, you're mistaken."

"I'm not here to discuss this matter with you. I've just been holding it in for too long and just really wanted to find a place to smoke."

Yang Ming was taken aback. He didn't know what Jiang Ning was talking about.

"As for the data, I'll tell you now. If you don't give it to me now, then I'm afraid you'd be begging me to take it from you later," said Jiang Ning with a laugh. "And I might not even want it when the time

comes."

"HAHAHA!” Yang Ming slammed the desk and laughed coldly. "Are you trying to joke with me?"

Beg him to take the data?

The fact that Yang Ming didn't get the security guards to throw a mere driver like Jiang Ning out was already Yang Ming being kind to him. And now Jiang Ning said Yang Ming would beg him to take the data?

He could dream on!

"I can tell you right now that Lin Group will never get this data. If you want data, you can collect it and analyze it yourselves," said Yang Ming with a gleeful smile. "But I don't think you can get anything useful in the next two to three months. Can you afford to lose so much time?"

He knew that he had a hold over Lin Group, and the company would eventually have to give in.

But Jiang Ning's attitude made him very unhappy!

If he didn't threaten them harder, then it might be difficult to reach an agreement favorable to himself later. He had to wear Lin Group down more today.

Jiang Ning sat on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly, as if he wasn't bothered by Yang Ming's threat at all.

He was just thinking about how it was so difficult for him to abstain from smoking when Lin Yuzhen was around.

"Did you hear what I said?!" yelled Yang Ming with a red face. He was getting annoyed by how Jiang Ning ignored him and seemed to be relaxing on the sofa.

Was this bastard really here just to find a place to smoke?

Was his office the toilet or something?!

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, smiled and stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray before getting up.

"Alright then, I'll wait for Mr Yang to deliver the data to us."
