The elevator slowly rose with the number of floors. Since Mina was not in the same car as Gu Cheng, there were only two of them in the enclosed space.
Halfway through the elevator, Gu Cheng took out a small earphone-shaped item from his suit pants and handed it to Fang Qing. “Put it in your ear later.”
Fang Qing looked at Gu Cheng’s palm and smiled playfully. She asked, “What does Gu mean by this? Don’t you trust me?”
Gu Cheng also smiled. “I don’t trust you. You just need to trust me.”
Fang Qing was Gu Cheng’s fiancée in name only. Although this identity was half-true in the Gu Corporation, it was already an open secret in the Wen Corporation. Everyone in the Wen Corporation was very curious about the wife of the future leader of the Gu Corporation. Of course, they could not help but be angry.
Fang Qing thought that Gu Cheng had given her this earphone to remind her not to make any mistakes in certain details, but she did not expect it to be more useful than that.
In order to take care of the other party’s feelings, Fang Qing still stuffed the earphone into her ear.
Not long after, the elevator stopped at the top floor. Fang Qing followed Gu Cheng out one after the other and found that Wen Xing was already waiting at the door. When he walked out, Wen Xing gave Gu Cheng a fist bump and patted his shoulder twice. “Brother, the direction of my career for the rest of my life depends on you.”
Although this sentence was an exaggeration, it was indeed true after thinking about it. For an old brand like ‘Ru Wen’ who valued its tone very much… entering a comprehensive shopping mall and accepting the management of the owners involved many interests. To change it, one needed to have the determination to make a decisive decision. Wen Yan’s father clearly saw this and only made a decision recently.
“Don’t worry.” These two simple words were like reassurance. After hearing it, Wen Xing also let out a long sigh.
When the two of them walked to the door of the meeting room, their expressions immediately became serious, as if they did not know each other. This was also a rule in the business world.
After entering, Fang Qing found that the spacious meeting room was full of people. Wen Xing’s father was sitting in the only main seat in the middle. When the people inside saw Gu Cheng enter, their expressions did not change much. After taking a glance, they buried their heads and continued to read the information.
Wen Xing walked over and sat on the main seat on the Wen Corporation’s side. Gu Cheng naturally sat on the other side of the seat, and Fang Qing followed him to the side. The senior negotiators from the Gu Corporation also entered the venue and took their seats one after another.
Fang Qing looked around the other party’s seat without batting an eyelid. To her surprise, she found a young and familiar face: Wen Yan. Wen Yan seemed to be looking at her as well, and she gave Fang Qing a faint smile.
As the opening, it was naturally Wen Gui, the head of the Wen Corporation, who gave the opening speech. He told her about his positive vision for the future of this cooperation. At the same time, he also expressed a few of his concerns from a personal point of view. However, it seemed to be for the sake of both sides’ faces, he was talking about some insignificant issues. In the business world, the different order of appearance of the good and the bad decision would affect the direction of the negotiations. Everyone present was a thousand-year-old fox, so they could only play along with this Liaozhai.
After he finished speaking, the representatives of the shareholders and the negotiators of the Wen Corporation began to exchange words with the Gu Corporation. Throughout the entire process, Fang Qing did not notice the slightest bit of panic in Gu Cheng. No matter how fierce the other party’s verbal attacks were, Gu Cheng was always able to bounce back. She originally thought that if this situation continued to develop, this meeting would be a complete success.
However, just as Gu Cheng finished answering a question and sat down, Wen Yan, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly stood up and looked at Fang Qing, her tone was like she was saying to everyone, “Greetings, representatives of the Wen Corporation and the Gu Corporation. I am one of the shareholders of the Wen Corporation and also the only daughter of the Wen family. To me, ‘Ru Wen’ is no longer just a family brand, but a friend from a young age. I hope that this good friend will be by my side in all the major events of my life in the future.”
After Wen Yan finished speaking, she took a breath and continued, “Therefore, I believe that when discussing cooperation with the Wen Corporation, especially regarding the collaboration of the ‘Ru Wen’ brand, the partner must be sincere.”
Hearing this, Gu Cheng frowned. “What Miss Wen said is extremely true, but I believe that I have a certain understanding of ‘Ru Wen’ from both the perspective of my family and my professional perspective. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to be rude to your company.”
Wen Yan seemed to be very pleased with Gu Cheng’s words as she chuckled softly, “It’s not that I don’t believe Young Master Gu’s sincerity. It’s just that I can’t accept a person who doesn’t know anything about Ru Wen’s real ready-made clothes coming to our territory to engage in a hypocritical t-negotiation with us. Don’t you agree, Secretary Fang?”
