He shook his head: "Impossible. Send someone to the Tang family to investigate, and pay special attention to Sun Rong's condition."

The man nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Xihe was satisfied. She pulled an envelope from the drawer, threw it on the table, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "Get out."

As soon as the person left, Shen Rong came in.

“Designer Shen,” Qiao Xihe sat up straight, “weren’t you drawing design drafts? Why did you come to me?”

"Here's the thing, I need to respond to a national negotiation about a cooperation deal worth several hundred thousand. I'm leaving tonight and will be back next week to let you know." Shen Rong leaned back on the sofa, his tone more like a statement than a request.

Qiao Xihe's expression was displeased: "Mr. Shen, I think you know how important this exchange meeting is to me. I hope you can have some cooperative spirit and do a good job designing the new product."

“Miss Qiao, I think I’ve been helping you over the past month, not cooperating with you. Besides, we haven’t signed a contract, so there’s no question of cooperation. Miss Qiao’s communication is important, but my cooperation is equally important, wouldn’t you say?” A hint of contempt flashed deep in Shen Rong’s eyes.

Qiao Xihe gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat annoyed.

In her haste to fight Yang Qingheng, she was careless when cooperating with Shen Rong and forgot to sign a contract. She thought that with her status, Shen Rong would never dare to mess with her. She never expected that she would actually meet someone who was not afraid of death.

First, they tried to get her to pay more money several times, and now they're openly challenging her, because they know she won't be able to find a designer of equal standing anytime soon.

However, on the surface, he could only put on a negotiable appearance: "Mr. Shen, since I'm cooperating with you, I naturally won't let you suffer any losses. How about I add 10,000 yuan to the fee? You won't have to travel all the way back. Time is of the essence, and I hope you can produce a good work at this exchange meeting, which will also benefit you in opening up the domestic market. Don't you agree?"

Ten thousand yuan? That's like giving money to a beggar.

Shen Rong thought disdainfully, crossed his legs, and said in a low voice, "Miss Qiao, you may not know this, but this collaboration is a rare opportunity and will greatly help my reputation in the design industry in Yingguo. I still hope to go back for a visit."
