Chapter 993 Matteo
In Teng Zijing's private apartment at Fengteng International, high-tech light and shadow flow through the living room.
Sometimes it transforms into a dazzling galaxy, as if you are in outer space; in an instant, it switches to a deep blue seabed, where fish swim freely in the virtual water.
An Ran stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city night view outside.
Teng Zijing approached slowly and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind.
He buried his chin in the crook of her neck, his voice warm: "What are you thinking about?"
"Zijing, thank you." An Ran's voice was soft, but clearly filled with emotion.
Teng Zijing tightened his arms around her, his nose brushing against her hair: "Why are you thanking me? This is all I should do."
An Ran raised her hand and covered his hand that was wrapped around her waist, her fingertips gently stroking the back of his hand:
Nothing is taken for granted. I remember everything you've done for me.
As she spoke, she turned her head and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
Teng Zijing felt a surge of warmth in his heart and, unable to resist, gently bit her small earlobe.
His voice was deep and earnest: "Xiao Ran, let's get married? I want a baby."
Someone as clever and quick-witted as Jiang Shuo—no, someone a hundred times more capable than Jiang Shuo.
An Ran was amused by his childish appearance and turned to look at him: "Zijing, are you envious of President Mu and the others?"
"No way!" Teng Zijing immediately retorted, raising her chin slightly.
"My own genes are very strong too, okay?" She finished with a hint of reproach, giving Andy's neck a hard suck.
An Ran frowned slightly, wincing in pain, "Yes, you're the best, you're the strongest."
His words were laced with a playful banter, and before he could finish speaking, Teng Zijing had already swept her up in his arms.
"Then I'll show you what I'm capable of." He looked down at the smiling person in his arms and strode upstairs to the bedroom.
The virtual light and shadow in the living room continued to change, but it made the warmth in this space even more real.
Time flies, and Deng Zhouyi's luxury car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the airport terminal.
Teng Zijing got out of the car first, remembering to raise his hand to protect the edge of the roof.
He then gentlemanly walked around to the other side, opened the car door, took An Ran's hand, and helped her out of the car.
Deng Zhouyi nimbly took two suitcases from the trunk and followed closely behind.
The three walked side by side toward the waiting room, sunlight streaming through the glass curtain wall and casting their shadows on the floor.
Teng Zijing occasionally turned his head to speak a few words to An Ran, his tone relaxed, and An Ran wore a faint smile.
Deng Zhouyi maintained a proper distance, intently observing the surrounding movements.
The journey was unhurried, as if it were just an ordinary trip, yet it exuded a sense of certainty about the road ahead.
In the waiting room, a waiter brought two cups of hot coffee. Teng Zijing took them and placed them on the table, his gaze fixed on An Ran, his eyes full of tenderness.
He held her slender hand, gently kneading it in his palm. The warmth of his fingertips seeped through her skin, making her feel cozy and comfortable.
An Ran politely thanked the waiter: "Thank you."
The waiter, watching the good-looking couple in front of him, silently swallowed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), then turned and quietly slipped out.
Deng Zhouyi held onto the handles of two suitcases, watching the waiter's departing figure.
His lips curled down slightly, as if he were muttering, "Where's my coffee?"
Teng Zijing glanced at him, her tone slightly disdainful: "You big third wheel, when are you going to get out of here?"
Deng Zhouyi was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself with an incredulous look on his face: "Me?"
His face immediately fell, and he said unhappily, "Brother, you really need to change this habit of discarding someone after they've served their purpose! Didn't I come here specifically to deliver the luggage?"
An Ran laughed, her eyes crinkling like sunshine.
"I never realized that the two of you combined, who could freeze Kuncheng into an ice cellar, could be so adorable."
"Hmph." Deng Zhouyi, deflated like a punctured balloon, scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.
"My sister-in-law's words are more agreeable. Fine, since my brother finds me an eyesore, I'll leave now."
Teng Zijing reminded him, "Don't just hang out with Qianqian when you get back; don't forget about the important matters."
"Okay, bye-bye!" Deng Zhouyi waved his hand and left the waiting room without looking back, his back view still showing a little excitement.
The waiting room fell silent. Teng Zijing picked up a coffee and handed it to An Ran, his fingertips touching the back of her hand: "Is it hot?"
An Ran took a sip, shook her head, and smiled, "It's not hot, it's just right."
Teng Zijing lightly kissed An Ran's thin lips. "Mmm, new-style coffee, tastes good."
An Ran shoved Teng Zijing's face: "What the hell! Shameless!"
Teng Zijing rested his head on her shoulder, sweetly savoring the hard-won happiness he had waited seven years for.
The plane outside the window slowly taxied down the runway, and sunlight streamed through the porthole onto the two of them.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, filled with gentle anticipation.
The plane landed quickly at an airport in Europe, with Teng Zijing dragging his suitcase in one hand.
With his other hand, he held An Ran tightly as they surged toward the exit with the bustling crowd.
The atmosphere of a foreign land was palpable, the air filled with unfamiliar language and the faint scent of flowers.
An Ran turned her head slightly to look at the person beside her, a reassuring smile in her eyes.
As I stepped out of the exit, a black luxury car was already waiting by the roadside, with the hotel's logo printed on its body.
The driver was a young man, dressed in a crisp uniform, with a smile as bright as the local sunshine.
He quickly stepped forward and took the suitcases from the two of them: "Welcome, you've come a long way. You must be tired from your journey. Please get in the car."
He carefully protected the top edge of the car door, waiting for Teng Zijing and An Ran to get into the back seat.
He quickly put the suitcase into the trunk and then hurriedly returned to the driver's seat.
With a soft hum of the engine, the car smoothly merged into the traffic and headed towards the booked hotel.
The street scene outside the window slowly recedes, gradually revealing the exotic architectural styles and cultural atmosphere.
Teng Zijing held An Ran's hand and said softly, "Are you tired? Get some rest at the hotel first."
A hotel shuttle picked them up from the airport, and the two quickly arrived at their booked room.
Teng Zijing went into the bathroom first and carefully helped An Ran adjust the water temperature and fill the bathwater.
An Ran followed her in and said gently, "Thank you, I can do these things myself, you don't need to trouble yourself with everything."
Teng Zijing stood up and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead: "The water's ready. Take a bath to relax first. I'll wait for you outside."
The two touched lips intimately again before Teng Zijing turned and left the bathroom.
He walked to the coffee table, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then took out his phone to call Gu Qinming.
The call was quickly answered, and Gu Qinming's voice came through: "Master Jing, have you arrived?"
"Yes, I just arrived at the hotel," Teng Zijing replied. "Attorney Gu, how's everything going these past two days?"
Gu Qinming replied from the other end: "Everything went smoothly. All the relevant procedures have been completed, and we can arrange to visit the company tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Teng Zijing nodded. "Send me a copy once you've decided on the specific time."
"No problem, Mr. Jing."
After hanging up the phone, Teng Zijing put down his phone and looked towards the bathroom.
Hearing the faint sound of water coming from inside, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on my lips.
The fatigue of the journey seemed to gradually dissipate in this moment of tranquility.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the floor. Teng Zijing held An Ran's hand.
They went together to "Louis Company," a subsidiary secretly established by Liu Lu and Qi Haoyu over the years by misappropriating AnTai Technology's resources and funds.
The car drove into the office building complex where Louis Company is located and stopped in front of a very modern building.
Gu Qinming was already waiting at the door. When she saw the two of them get out of the car, she immediately came to greet them.
Standing next to her was a blond, blue-eyed young man, dressed in a suit and tie, with a serious expression.
"Mr. Teng, Ms. An," Gu Qinming greeted them first, then stepped aside to introduce them.
"This is Matteo, the vice president of Louis Company."
During Liu Lu's tenure, he trusted him immensely, almost to the point of being a core partner.
In the past few years, when Liu Lu was away from the company for extended periods, all daily operations,
Decision-making, approval processes, and even external cooperation are all decided by Matteo, who holds actual management power.
Then, she turned to Matteo and added in fluent French:
"Mr. Matteo, this is Mr. Teng Zijing, the president of Kunming Fengteng International."
She is also the main coordinator of this merger and acquisition; this is Ms. An Ran, Vice President of Ansteel Technology.
I'm sure I've explained to you fully in the past few days—Louis Company's initial capital, technological patents, and customer resources.
All of these assets originated from those illegally transferred from AnTai Technology by Liu Lu using his position, and are considered proceeds of infringement.
Following an investigation and evidence collection by the judicial authorities, it has been ruled that Liu Lu must pay AnTai Technology full compensation.
As Louis Company is a derivative entity resulting from the infringement, it will be acquired and taken over by Ansteel Technology to compensate for the losses caused.
After listening, Matteo's face showed a knowing expression, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to An Ran:
“Ms. An, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Attorney Gu has indeed explained all the legal documents and the merger and acquisition plan to me in detail, and I fully understand the current situation.”
An Ran gently shook his hand, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable professionalism:
"Mr. Matteo, thank you for your cooperation. Ansteel's demands are very clear—"
By clarifying property rights and standardizing operations, we respect the professionalism of the existing team and hope for a smooth transition.
The group walked into the company, passing through the open-plan office area, and arrived at the conference room on the top floor.
When they took their seats, An Ran sat in the main seat, with Teng Zijing and Gu Qinming sitting on her left and right respectively.
Matteo sat opposite him in the main seat, with two heads of the company's core departments behind him.
As soon as he sat down, Matteo gestured to his assistant to move several boxes of documents onto the conference table.
"These are Louis Company's financial statements and project contracts since its inception."
The patent registration and employee structure information, along with the documents Attorney Gu requested, are all here.
Gu Qinming nodded and first pushed a photocopy of a "Ruling on Infringement Determination" issued by a domestic judicial authority in front of Matteo.
They then submitted a series of documents, including the "Letter of Intent for Merger and Acquisition," the "Asset Transfer List," and the "Equity Transfer Agreement," explaining each clause in detail:
"Mr. Matteo, as you can see, this is the court's final ruling on Liu Lu's infringement, which clarifies the illegal source of Louis Company's assets;
This letter of intent for the acquisition has been reviewed and approved by the legal departments of both Ansteel Technology and Fengteng International. Key terms include:
Ansteel Technology acquired 100% equity of Louis Company at the appraised value and assumed all legal claims and debts.
The existing staff will be retained, but they will need to accept Ansteel's management system.
The asset transfer list has been verified by a third-party appraisal agency, and it marks the original patents and customer resources that need to be returned to AnTai Technology…
As she spoke, she pointed to the key clauses in the document, marking the signature locations in red pen:
"According to the procedure, as the actual manager of the company, you need to sign and confirm these documents on behalf of Louis Company."
We will then submit the signed documents to the local business registration department to complete the equity change and update the legal representative information.
In addition, regarding Liu Lu's illegal gains from the company, the judicial authorities have frozen his relevant accounts.
The compensation will be transferred to the designated account of AnTai Technology in accordance with the compensation agreement.
Matteo carefully reviewed the documents, occasionally asking Gu Qinming questions about the details of the clauses.
For example, the method of taking over employee labor contracts, and the authority to continue executing existing projects.
Gu Qinming provided professional answers to each question, emphasizing the principles of "legality and compliance, and a smooth transition."
After all the questions were clarified, Matteo picked up a pen and signed his name in the places designated by Gu Qinming, and then had his assistant take it to be notarized and made a copy.
Gu Qinming put away the signed documents and looked at An Ran and Teng Zijing:
"Mr. Teng, Ms. An, the core documents have been signed. Now we just need to wait for local department approval."
The entire business registration change is expected to be completed within three business days.
An Ran nodded slightly and looked at Matteo: "Mr. Matteo, thank you for your cooperation."
Following the acquisition, we hope you will remain in your position to assist Ansteel Technology in the successful integration of the company.
A hint of relief flashed in Matteo's eyes as he nodded and said, "Miss An, don't worry."
I will do everything in my power to ensure that the company's operations are not affected.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became relaxed as the process proceeded smoothly.
Sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the documents.
A cross-border property rights clarification and merger case is steadily progressing toward a conclusion.
