Chapter 124: He leaned in and kissed her…After the negotiation ended, Teacher Ma slumped into his chair, exhausted.
He felt both incredibly relieved and somewhat disappointed.
“This is truly bittersweet,” Teacher Ma said, feeling deeply defeated.
In front of Li Mo, he truly felt completely outmaneuvered.
After the negotiation concluded, Ma Tengyun and the others were also thrilled.
“Mr. Mo, with this done, our Qingyan Investment Company will become even more formidable!”
Li Mo was indeed thinking about making a trip to Yanjing.
In Yanjing was Liu Qiangdong, the future boss of JD.com, who was destined to become the top player in the B2C e-commerce model.
However, at the moment, he was still struggling—broke, looked down upon by his girlfriend, and in debt.
“While in Yanjing, I can also visit Bai Lulu.”
Thinking of that stunningly elegant and mature woman, Li Mo felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Ji Wanxian didn’t seem interested in him at all, but Bai Lulu… she truly had that captivating charm.
Time gradually passed…
As the New Year approached, the weather grew increasingly cold.
Many events had unfolded recently…
Su Xiaoxiao’s company had set a definite date for its IPO. Soon, a grand celebration would be held for Xiaoxiao Cosmetics.
Li Mo knew that once he went to Su Xiaoxiao’s side, he would no longer be able to keep anything hidden.
During this period,
The silent war between Taobao, with its free model, and eBay had swept across the entire internet!
Countless internet companies were waiting for the outcome of this century’s battle.
In the eyes of many, the war between companies like Taobao and eBay resembled Penguin’s historic battle with Lianzhong!
To them, the outcome seemed a foregone conclusion, yet Taobao showed no signs of backing down.
It stood firm against eBay without any intention of surrendering, which many found unbelievable.
Another event also caused quite a stir.
Jinshan was declining at an increasingly rapid pace because Zhou Hongwei had launched a free antivirus software called 360, which was far more professional than Jinshan in many aspects.
Qiu Bojun was now seeking help everywhere, trying to secure more funding…
But no one would help him. If it weren’t for the recent success of “Swordman Legend” bringing in considerable revenue,
Jinshan would have collapsed long ago…
Many speculated that the once-dominant Jinshan might be heading toward complete decline.
At the same time,
The three portal giants began to decline rapidly during this period.
Their traffic dropped almost visibly…
Everyone knew that a significant portion of portal traffic was shifting toward independent websites.
This gave many CEOs of independent websites hope for the future.
And without a doubt, Penguin was the king of independent website traffic.
Rumors said Penguin’s user base had now reached 150 million.
That number…
Was terrifying…
During this time, rumors also spread like wildfire that Penguin was planning to enter the online gaming industry.
The phrase “That damn Ma Tengyun” had become wildly popular online.
In just a short period, the internet world had become incredibly vibrant!
It felt as though years of internet development had been compressed into a brief span!
…
In the evening, a light snow fell over Shencheng, and the air grew bitterly cold.
Li Mo gazed at the scenery outside the window, preparing to return home for the New Year.
Su Qingyan sat on the sofa waiting for him, looking very obedient. As she watched Li Mo reviewing documents, her beautiful face filled with admiration.
Yet, her heart was also full of anticipation.
She planned to go home first, steal her household register, and then get married with Li Mo!
Once that happened, they could finally do what married couples do!
As Su Qingyan watched Li Mo from afar,
“Mr. Mo,”
Ma Tengyun and the other four walked in.
Seeing their worried expressions, Li Mo knew they had something important to discuss.
And it was no small matter.
“You are all core members of my startup team. If there’s something, just say it directly.”
After going through recent challenges, the Five Tiger Generals had grown noticeably in confidence and presence.
“Mr. Mo, if all goes well, you and Ms. Su will be getting married after this trip back, right?”
Li Mo was surprised that Ma Tengyun had figured it out.
“Please sign this prenuptial property agreement.”
“We propose setting your annual salary at one yuan.”
“This ensures that even if you and Ms. Su divorce in the future, she cannot claim any equity or cash flow from you.”
“Mr. Cai Chongxin, Teacher Ma, and we jointly drafted this agreement.”
“It is a safeguard for our equity structure.”
“Ms. Su, we hope you will sign it as well.”
“Our two companies now employ over ten thousand people. The future and prospects of these ten thousand cannot be jeopardized by risks arising from Mr. Mo’s marriage.”
Su Qingyan walked over to Li Mo’s side.
She looked at the agreement on the table and signed it without hesitation.
“I understand… I don’t want my brother’s money. I also know that I will be with him for the rest of my life, never apart. No matter what, in the future, his rightful wife can only be me.”
Su Qingyan’s reasonableness took Ma Tengyun and the others by surprise.
They had expected her to refuse…
But instead, she signed directly.
Li Mo reviewed the agreement and signed it as well. Without this agreement, his marriage would not be possible.
After all, the instability that marriage could bring to equity was too great—a single mishap could even destroy a company.
Once Ma Tengyun obtained the signed agreement,
He soon left satisfied.
“Ms. Su, please don’t take offense. This matter involves too many stakeholders…”
“I need to go discuss this with Teacher Ma and the others.”
After the Five Tiger Generals left…
Su Qingyan leaned against Li Mo’s shoulder.
“Brother, wait for me at home during the New Year. I’ll go back to get my household register and then come find you. We’ll register our marriage and get married in your hometown.”
Looking at Su Qingyan, who bore no resentment,
Li Mo felt deeply moved.
Gazing at her beautiful red lips, he leaned in and kissed her…
