Chapter 56: The Day Before Checking Scores
The internet updates and iterates at an extremely fast pace, and after that day, the entire Cloud City gradually calmed down.
The Chen family is pursuing a partnership, while Wu Qingqing is busy filming endorsement deals.
There has been no news of a press conference announcing the collaboration between Osso and Xu.
Everyone tacitly agreed that this was merely a hint that the cooperation was coming to an end.
This calm lasted until June 29th.
Inside VIP Box 666 at the InterContinental Hotel.
Chen Zhiyuan's father, Chen Tianrun, was leaning back in his chair with a smile on his face.
His gaze lingered on the doorway.
Others may not know what's going on with the Xu family, but they do.
Oso has completely abandoned the Xu family and decided to cooperate with them.
Chen Tianrun himself preferred to choose the Auso Group, but he couldn't give up the benefits offered by Vitacore.
But things are different now.
Oso voluntarily reduced his profits by five percentage points for their sake.
That's five percentage points!
Chen Tianrun seemed to be able to foresee his rising status in Yuncheng.
This is all thanks to that kid Zhiyuan.
If he hadn't posted Xu Yihuan's video online, they wouldn't have gotten this opportunity!
He'll definitely give him a good reward when the admission results come out tomorrow!
Just as Chen Tianrun was having a good time, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Smith walked in carrying a proposal.
After sitting down, Smith pushed the proposal toward Chen Tianrun.
"Mr. Chen, this is the most sincere offer we can make. If you don't accept it, we'll have to give up."
Chen Tianrun didn't take it, but instead smiled and pushed the proposal back.
He's lost interest in Vitachip.
“Mr. Smith, as you know, Osso gave us a 5 percentage point concession. If you don’t show some sincerity, it won’t be enough.”
Smith frowned. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to give up another five percentage points unless they didn't want to make any more money.
Looking at Chen Tianrun in front of him, Smith was suspicious. This idiot had probably been outmaneuvered by Osso.
But remembering Chen Tianrun's outrageous demands, Smith didn't think of offering any warnings.
He simply said, "Cooperation is a two-way selection process. In that case, I'm sorry, we probably can't reach an agreement."
Upon hearing Smith's words, Chen Tianrun stood up excitedly almost immediately and reached out to shake hands with Smith.
"I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate again next time."
Smith ignored Chen Tianrun, picked up his briefcase, and turned to leave.
His time is precious.
Without the Chen family, he needs to find his next business partner.
If I remember correctly, there was a Sheng family, who seemed to be quite well-off.
Chen Tianrun watched Smith's departing figure, rubbed his palms together, and burst out laughing.
After a while, he took out his phone and dialed Eric's number.
Now that VitaSemi has also been rejected by him, they can relax and finalize the details and sign the contract!
At this moment, inside the R&D department of the Xu Group.
Heo Yong-young and Eric, who were thought to have fallen out, are visiting a product jointly developed by the two groups.
This is a huge microscope machine.
It was originally a semi-finished product developed by the Xu family, and if things continue as usual, it will take about three more months to be fully completed.
But time was of the essence, and they couldn't delay Chen's business for long.
Through Eric's efforts, the Osso Group transferred their researchers from its European headquarters, who were urgently flown from Europe to China.
Together with researchers from China, they conducted research day and night.
In the end, they successfully developed the original semi-finished product!
Eric looked at the exquisite and brand-new instrument in front of him, nodding repeatedly, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
“Very good, very good. That way, when I get back to the company, I'll have something to report.”
Xu Rongyu was also very happy. Originally, he could only try his best within the half-month deadline, but he didn't expect to actually succeed.
"How about this? Since the last press conference wasn't finished, let's hold another one tomorrow, right tomorrow. How about we combine it with the new product launch this time?"
Xu Rong and Eric were discussing things.
Tomorrow will undoubtedly be the busiest time in the entire Yuncheng, as college entrance exam scores, application status, and admission results will all be released at the same time.
It was a tense yet exciting moment.
But Xu Rongyu insists on vying for this wave of traffic.
Eric didn't understand, but he agreed.
After all, they have partnerships with professional institutions.
This press conference is more of a formality.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I agree. I'll contact headquarters later and have them mention it on Facebook as well."
Xu Rongyu nodded.
They also started contacting the public relations department and made an official announcement on Weibo.
After arranging everything, Eric prepared to say goodbye.
Before I could even finish speaking, my phone rang.
Eric picked up his phone and, upon seeing that familiar name, hung up without hesitation.
He's holding a press conference tomorrow, so he can't keep changing his mind here.
Xu Rongyu's gaze also fell upon that familiar name.
After seeing Eric hang up the phone, the two exchanged a knowing smile.
However, just before Xu's official announcement on Weibo, a video suddenly surged to the top of Weibo's trending topics list.
In the video, Wu Qingqing appeared on camera wearing her high school uniform and light makeup.
It was her own monologue, spoken in a very gentle tone.
I've been so busy lately, I only had time to check Weibo today.
I just heard that the video of Huanhuan pushing me seems to be trending. I want to clarify here that she didn't actually use much force. I fell because I accidentally twisted my ankle.
[There are also those who say my status as the top scorer in the college entrance examination is fake. I won't comment on that. The admission results will be released tomorrow at noon. You can check your scores in person at the Platinum Bay Hotel on the 20th floor tomorrow at noon. I will also clarify again the matter of Huanhuan pushing me to the ground.]
Justice resides in the hearts of the people. We will not explain who is right and who is wrong; time will prove everything.
The video went viral instantly after it was posted!
The buzz surrounding Xu Yihuan pushing someone has surged even higher than before!
[Holy crap! It's here, it's finally here!]
[I knew Xu Yihuan pushing someone wouldn't be forgotten so easily. Who says the internet has no memory? Waaah! Can we finally get justice for our little sister?]
[What a powerful statement, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people"—is this what a strong female lead is all about?]
The scores will be out tomorrow! I'll definitely be there on Meibao's live stream!
[Can't you at least apologize?! I'm speechless. Pushing someone and not apologizing? Just because she's Xu Yihuan doesn't mean she's in the right.]
[@Xu's Group, shouldn't you clean up the mess your daughter made?]
Opinions vary online, but Wu Qingqing's image as a top scorer in the college entrance examination and her "beautiful, strong, and tragic" persona have already deeply resonated with the public.
Looking at these comments online, Wu Qingqing finally let out her pent-up frustration.
A mocking smile appeared on his face.
"A bunch of idiots."
"What I say goes."
"Xu Yihuan, I'm so sorry, I'm about to achieve great success tomorrow."
Wu Qingqing muttered to herself in a daze, and the smile on her lips only made it seem more eerie.
"Qingqing, come and try on the dress for tomorrow's banquet." Shen Yanxin's voice came.
Wu Qingqing seemed to snap out of her daze, composed herself, and turned around.
"Oh, you're here."
However, just after Wu Qingqing put away her phone...
An even bigger wave erupted on Weibo.
The Hsu Group issued a statement.
[A press conference will be held tomorrow at noon at the Platinum Bay Hotel. All media reporters are welcome to attend.]
