Chapter 399

399 Request To Join

Andrew Cameron, Bi Ying, and Huo Tian were all unparalleled geniuses. After some interactions, they had originally left a good impression on each other.

This was especially so for Bi Ying, who had changed his opinion of Andrew Cameron. He felt that although this person’s personality was a little bad, his business capabilities were outstanding. He was indeed worthy of Huo Tian’s praise.

However, before they parted ways, Andrew Cameron’s request to Huo Tian made Bi Ying’s impression of him plummet.

Andrew Cameron was tall and had his head slightly lowered when he looked at Huo Tian. There were complicated emotions in his eyes and he seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying solemnly, “I want to take the liberty to make a request. I hope you can agree to it.”

Huo Tian didn’t take these words too seriously. She thought that Andrew Cameron still wanted to make a request like visiting the research and development center. At this moment, she had a preliminary understanding of Andrew Cameron’s business capabilities and character. She believed that he wouldn’t do something like stealing classified business secrets.

Bi Ying frowned slightly. He felt that Huo Tian had given her trust to Andrew Cameron too easily. However, after having spent an afternoon together, he no longer had his initial wariness toward this person, so he didn’t stop Huo Tian’s decision.

However, Andrew Cameron’s request was not what the two of them thought. It wasn’t that he wanted to visit the research and development center and the laboratory.

Andrew Cameron’s expression remained calm. He shook his head and said, “No, that’s not the request I want to make. The truth is, I want to join your research and development center and become your colleague and work with you guys.”

After he said that, there was a short few seconds of silence in the reception room.

Huo Tian blinked and looked at Andrew Cameron in confusion. The strange feeling in her heart rose again. Wasn’t Mr. Andrew Cameron’s reaction toward her too special…

Before Huo Tian could figure out the crux of the matter, Bi Ying glared at Andrew Cameron unhappily. “You unfathomable guy, what do you want to do?!”

Only then did Andrew Cameron reluctantly shift his attention from Huo Tian to Bi Ying, who was beside him. He looked at Bi Ying, who was furious that he wanted to stomp his feet. He did not understand why Bi Ying, whose attitude had improved, was unhappy with him again.

Andrew Cameron wasn’t good at handling interpersonal relationships, so he asked bluntly, “Mr. Bi Ying, why are you so angry? I thought that after an afternoon of communication, you’ve understood my capabilities and won’t object to me joining your research plan.”

Bi Ying was choked by these words and didn’t say anything for a long while. The awkwardness and discomfort in his heart became stronger. He frowned and glared at Andrew Cameron again reluctantly.

He frowned and said, “This isn’t a matter of personal ability. We’ve only known each other for an afternoon and don’t know your qualities at all. How can we let someone we don’t trust enter such an important research plan? Moreover, your research direction is completely different from ours. Why do you want to transfer to our side? I have reason to suspect that you have some unknown motive.”

Although these words were said in a dignified manner, Bi Ying knew very well that this was just an excuse that looked more reasonable on the surface.

The truth was that Bi Ying didn’t want others to barge into the space between him and Huo Tian. Bi Ying understood that there wasn’t much possibility between him and Huo Tian given how obvious the atmosphere between Huo Tian and Si Huan was. He also knew that it was impossible for him to win against Si Huan. However, he still treated the time Huo Tian and he had spent together in their research as a gift from heaven. He was greedy and wanted to completely occupy this moment of gentleness.

However, now, Andrew Cameron had taken the liberty to suggest joining their research plan to invade the alone time that Bi Ying and Huo Tian had together. How could Bi Ying tolerate this?
