Someone gave him a voice recorder at noon.
So Lu Zhixing had been waiting for her call, and readily agreed:
See you at 7 p.m.
Seven o'clock.
It's getting late.
The movie ends at 4:30.
Lu Zhixing also emphasized: "I have a social engagement that will probably end around 7 p.m., so you don't need to come too early."
The social engagements he mentioned were probably discussions with Kaiwei and Gray about collaborations.
French restaurant at the IFC (International Finance Centre).
"Mr. Lu, we have come with sincerity."
It was Kaiwei who spoke first.
Lu Zhixing was dressed in a sharp suit. He had never paid much attention to his appearance before, but today he made a special effort to dress up because he was going to see Tang Li that evening.
It is said that women dress up for those who appreciate them.
And aren't men the same?
The thought of Tang Li made Lu Zhixing's lips curl into a smile.
So much so that he didn't even realize he was supposed to respond to Kaiwei's words.
"As previously agreed, we will cooperate with Mr. Lu on a 5% profit margin."
Seeing Lu Zhixing lost in thought, Gray raised his glass and gestured to Lu Zhixing.
But Lu Zhixing shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I can't offer that profit margin."
Can't give it to me?
Didn't we have everything going well before?
The five percent profit margin was his proposal. The reason they couldn't reach an agreement before was because Kaiwei was wavering between Shengrong and Huo's. He asked Huo's for five percent, but wanted seven percent from Shengrong, since Shengrong was still a little bit inferior to Huo's.
"I can only give you a 1% profit at most." Lu Zhixing revealed his hand.
In his hand, he was toying with the recording pen he had received.
Kelvin and Gray looked at each other in bewilderment.
One percent profit?
I'm afraid even drinking the northwest wind wouldn't be enough!
Kaiwei was furious, but he could only suppress his anger.
Having learned his lesson from Tang Li, Kaiwei was smarter this time. When talking to Gray, he leaned in, deliberately lowered his voice, and spoke in French.
"His heart is even blacker than that country bumpkin lady from the Huo family."
But Sheng Rong was their last resort. Gray calmed himself and asked:
"Mr. Lu, could you please tell me why you suddenly reduced our profit by four percentage points?"
Perhaps there's some misunderstanding involved?
Lu Zhixing glanced at the distance and a smile appeared on his lips:
"Because... I'm single."
single?
What kind of ridiculous reason is this?
Following Lu Zhixing's gaze, Kaiwei and Gray stared wide-eyed at Tang Li, who approached with a beaming smile.
Another sentence came to my ear:
"So we've lost one of those country bumpkin ladies who were willing to give you an extra bit of profit."
