Xie Yunjing hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Gu Xian came out of the shower and asked him, "Who's calling?"
"Advertising and sales." Xie Yunjing lied without changing his expression.
Gu Xian took back the phone suspiciously: "You are not lying to me, are you?"
"If you don't believe me, you can call back."
Xie Yunjing had just invested 200 million yuan in him. If it was related to "Legend of Songshan", hiding it would be a waste of money. Besides "Legend of Songshan", he hadn't had anything else important to do recently.
"I'm not going to fight back." If this was really an advertisement, wouldn't he look like a fool if he fought back? He wouldn't fall for Xie Yunjing's provocation. And if it was truly important, the other party would probably fight back again.
Gu Xian held his cell phone and Xie Yunjing took a book. The two of them lay in their own corners on the bed until Gu Xian's well-informed friends sent him messages.
Jiang Longxing?
Gu Xian looked at the phone screen in confusion. Did he know such a person?
Mu Ziqiu: Brother, this guy went to the same high school as us. He is quite fierce. You have dealt with him many times but he still dares to cause trouble for you. He even dares to mess with Xie Yunjing.
Gu Xian had some impression that there was indeed such a person in high school who always stirred up trouble between him and Xie Yunjing.
But his name is Jiang Longxing?
Gu Xian nudged Xie Yunjing with his elbow. "Hey, back in high school, there was this troublemaker named Jiang Longxing. Do you remember him?"
Trouble stirrer?
Xie Yunjing looked at him silently. Jiang Longxing was the troublemaker, so what were the two of them who were being disturbed?
He turned a page: "I don't remember."
Gu Xian didn't care whether he remembered or not: "This guy always liked to interfere in our affairs when we were in high school. I almost thought he had a crush on you!"
Xie Yunjing paused, raised his eyes and said, "Why don't you say that he has a crush on you?"
Gu Xian sneered: "Has a crush on me? Is that even possible? I've beaten him up so many times. Is he a masochist? He has a crush on me?"
Another message arrived on his phone. After reading it carefully, he looked down upon Jiang Longxing even more. "What a joke! His family has been doing well in recent years, and he's resorting to bribing screenwriters and directors to avenge the beating I gave him? This guy is nothing more than that!"
Li Yuqiu and others also felt that Jiang Longxing did this purely out of boredom - he was mentally ill.
Gu Xian watched them complain, and suddenly asked Xie Yunjing: "Do you think he is jealous because I married you, so he is looking for trouble with me again?"
Bribing almost every reliable screenwriter and director in the entertainment industry to firmly refuse Guangyao's invitation would cost a lot of money. Spending so much money on something trivial in high school is really crazy.
Anyway, Gu Xian couldn’t figure it out.
Xie Yunjing closed the book in his hand and said, "You keep putting the blame of Jiang Longxing causing trouble for you on me. Are you unable to deal with him yourself and want me to help you deal with him?"
"Nonsense!" The gossipy expression on Gu Xian's face suddenly disappeared. "He's just a defeated general. Who needs your help? I'm being inexplicably harassed. If I don't find out the reason, am I stupid enough to be the one being taken advantage of?"
"..." Xie Yunjing stopped doing his own thing and just looked at him, "It's quite stupid."
"Huh?" Gu Xian suddenly exploded, not even checking his phone. "Xie Yunjing, who are you calling stupid? From second grade to first year of high school, there were 137 exams in total. I took first place 72 times, and you took first place 65 times! You're a loser!"
"Including my sophomore and junior years, I won 83 times, and you only won 72 times."
"That's because I let you!"
"But I've won first place more times than you."
He didn't remember the person who always caused trouble for him, but he remembered clearly the times he compared his grades with him. Xie Yunjing smiled unconsciously: "Fool."
"Mr. Xie, everyone is already in the conference room."
"Okay." Xie Yunjing flipped through the last document in front of him. "You go over first and ask them to wait. I'll go over after I finish looking at this schedule."
"Okay." The assistant walked out with the documents needed for the meeting, but was stopped by Xie Yunjing halfway.
"Wait." Xie Yunjing pointed at a name on the schedule. "Has the person in charge of signing the contract from Jianghe Group arrived?"
"Mr. Xie, please wait a moment." The assistant took out his phone and hung up after a moment and replied, "Mr. Jiang from Jianghe Group arrived half an hour ago."
Xie Yunjing flipped back to the first few pages of the schedule and covered the three words "Jiang Longxing" on the page where he had previously stopped.
He stood up and instructed his assistant, "Come with me to the reception room of Jiang He Group. Have the person who was originally responsible for negotiating the contract with them deliver the materials to me immediately. I will talk to Jiang He in person."
The assistant was startled: "But a meeting?"
Xie Yunjing didn't even turn his head: "Let them discuss it among themselves first."
"Manager Zhang, you are finally here..." The warm welcome in the reception room came to an abrupt end after seeing who was outside the door.
Jiang Longxing, who had been sitting upright, almost jumped up and said in a disoriented tone, "Xie Yunjing!"
Someone who looked like an elder beside him patted him, and he quickly changed his tone: "Mr. Xie! Hello, Mr. Xie!"
Xie Yunjing didn't even nod in response. He walked straight to the sofa opposite Jiang Longxing and sat down. He took the materials from his assistant and said as he flipped through them, "Sister Yu, coffee."
The assistant quickly brought back the brewed coffee, but the fact that there was only one cup made the atmosphere in the reception room suddenly become a little tense.
Xie Yunjing took a sip of his coffee and seemed to have just noticed that the people from Jianghe Group were still standing in the same position as when they greeted him. "Why don't you sit down? Aren't our Xie's sofas comfortable enough?"
"No, no!" The person next to Jiang Longxing was called Jiang Yongjun, Jiang Longxing's cousin, and the person who was actually responsible for negotiating the contract today.
Jiang Yongjun pulled Jiang Longxing to sit down and said flatteringly, "I just didn't expect that Mr. Xie would come in person. I'm a little flattered! Manager Zhang...?"
"Zhang Mo is not feeling well." Xie Yunjing threw the materials in front of the Jiang family uncle and nephew, "I think Jiang He's asking price is a bit high."
Jiang Yongjun looked embarrassed. "But this is our bottom line. Manager Zhang and I have already discussed it. All that's left is to sign the contract."
"Now I'm talking to you."
Xie Yunjing drank his coffee slowly and leisurely, without mentioning his expected price range.
Jiang Yongjun rubbed his hands on his thighs nervously. Jianghe Group has developed well in recent years, but it is still a very rare thing to be able to get on board the big ship of Xie Group. In order to win this cooperation with Xie, they had indeed given the lowest bid before.
He bumped into Jiang Longxing next to him and whispered, "Didn't you say you and Xiao Xie were high school classmates? Hurry up and get close to him!"
Jiang Longxing's face looked grim. Ever since he started discussing cooperation with the Zhang Group, he had boasted to the people of the Jianghe Group that he and Xie Yunjing were high school classmates, and they even had a good relationship and often shared the same hatred for the enemy. Only he himself knew what the relationship between him and Xie Yunjing was like.
Because of his boasting, his father had high hopes for this partnership and demanded that he seize this opportunity to connect with the Zhang Corporation. He could only bite the bullet and apologize to Xie Yunjing with a smile, "Thank you, Xie Yunjing, long time no see."
Xie Yunjing glanced at him slowly: "Mr. Jiang, haven't you come up with a new offer yet?"
"Uh..." Jiang Longxing turned to Jiang Yongjun for help.
Jiang Yongjun rolled his eyes at him, disliking his uselessness. He smiled at Xie Yunjing with a hint of pain in his heart, "Mr. Xie, can we lower the Jiang He rate by another two percentage points?"
Xie Yunjing pretended to be in deep thought until Jiang Yongjun could no longer suppress his impatience and spoke: "It's still too high."
Jiang Yongjun's face was almost frozen as he tried to maintain a smile. "Mr. Xie, this is really the lowest offer. If it goes any lower, Jiang He won't make any profit at all. Seeing how sincere we are, and Long Xing used to have a good relationship with you, could you please be kind and stop trying to lower the price?"
"I have a good relationship with Jiang Longxing?" Xie Yunjing said with a playful look. "I heard Jiang He has been quite active recently, and it doesn't seem like he needs this little profit. If you can reduce it by another ten percentage points, I'll sign a contract with you."
"Ten, ten percentage points?" Jiang Yongjun couldn't hold it anymore, because this was really an exorbitant price. If it was reduced by another ten percentage points, not to mention the profit, it would be obvious that Jiang He would have to pay out of pocket!
"No, Mr. Xie, you're going a bit too far..."
"Xie Yunjing!" Jiang Longxing suddenly spoke up, gritting his teeth awkwardly. "I know I shouldn't have provoked you before, but this has nothing to do with the cooperation we're discussing today, nor does it have anything to do with Jiang He Group. Could you please finish negotiating the contract with us first? I'll let you do whatever you want to retaliate against me afterwards."
Jiang Yongjun looked shocked, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.
Xie Yunjing smiled: "Who said I was taking revenge on you because of what happened in the past?"
"That's why..."
"Isn't my voice obvious enough?" Xie Yunjing pointed at his throat, and then his face suddenly darkened.
"You don't deserve it."
