Wens Group also extended an even more enticing offer: if the cooperation goes well, Wens Group can sign a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Yixin, and all future fashion projects can be handled by Yixin.
Although he didn't know what had gotten into Wen Yibai, from a business perspective, it was an incredibly tempting pie that Xu Jianshen couldn't refuse, nor did he have any reason to refuse.
Xiang Jin paused for a long time without speaking.
Since she was in charge of this project, she would likely be responsible for most of the Wen Group's projects in the future. It took courage to face Wen Yibai once, let alone see his face for a long time in the future. She was afraid she would have trouble processing it.
"If you're worried about Wen Yibai's attitude, you can rest assured. He said he won't do it again. Cooperation is cooperation, and he won't let personal feelings interfere. If he treats you like he did last time, I will keep my promise and refuse to cooperate, even if it means breaking the contract and paying a penalty."
"Xiangjin, think it over. They'll come to the company for a meeting in an hour."
Xiang Jin remained silent.
Xu Jianshen's words, while giving her assurance, also indirectly revealed his attitude: he hoped Xiang Jin would take on the project.
Xiang Jin didn't want to face Wen Yibai, but she came to work at Yixin to survive and pursue her dreams. She was paid to do things for others, and everyone was an adult. It was right to act from the perspective of self-interest. Wen Yibai was just one of her clients. If she couldn't even get over this hurdle, how would she take on other projects in the future?
"Mr. Xu, I will follow the company's arrangements."
Xu Jianshen smiled: "Xiang Jin, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Jin reviewed the fashion week information again. She finished reviewing it just as the people from the Wen Group arrived at the company.
She called Pei Ji and Fang Ya to go to the conference room together. When the canna lily saw this, it suddenly jumped out of its nest and followed behind her, wagging its tail.
Xiang Jin sighed and patted its head: "Mommy has to talk to someone about something. I'll stay inside. Will you wait for me outside?"
"Bang!" The canna lily knocked over the sign next to it, howling in protest.
The bark immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office. Several colleagues cast impatient glances at it, so Xiang Jin quickly covered its mouth, took it to the empty meeting room next door, and gave it an apple.
"Sweetie, Mommy will come pick you up after you finish your apple, okay? Mommy will leave my phone here, and you have to watch it for Mommy and don't go anywhere!"
The canna lily hummed twice, wagged its tail, and happily started munching on an apple.
"You absolutely can't leave! If you lose your phone, we won't be able to contact Daddy."
The canna lily perked up its ears, intently munching on an apple, as happy as a fool, seemingly oblivious to what Xiang Jin was saying.
Hmm... maintaining this state is fine.
Xiang Jin tiptoed out of the meeting room and quietly closed the door. She decided to let it out after they finished talking. Today's meeting was already quite sensitive, and if any more complications arose, Boss Xu Jianshen would probably have a breakdown and go berserk.
Just as she sat down in the conference room, Wen Yibai led a large group of people from the Wen Group in. Compared to last time, his attitude was indeed much better. There was no confrontation or sarcasm; he simply kept a straight face and glanced at her almost imperceptibly.
Xiang Jin gripped the pen tightly and reported on the next steps of the work. Only after she finished did she realize that most of the clothes behind her were soaked with sweat.
The entire discussion went very smoothly. Wens Group was very satisfied with the direction of cooperation and the design theme. The cooperation intention has been initially finalized, and both parties agreed to hold a press conference next month to sign the agreement and announce the details of the cooperation.
“Now, it’s up to us to work together.” Xu Jianshen reached out his hand to Wen Yibai.
The two men clasped hands in mid-air, and when they released them, everyone's gaze fell on Xiang Jin.
As the person in charge of this fashion week, the next focus will be on her confrontation with Wens.
Faced with a dense sea of gazes, Xiang Jin felt a chill run down her spine. She mechanically gave a smile and hesitantly extended her hand to Wen Yibai: "Mr. Wen, please give me your guidance."
Tick-tock, tick-tock... The clock on the wall chimes softly.
Xiang Jin's hand froze in mid-air.
Just as she was caught in a dilemma, unsure how to back down, a cold, eerie voice sounded above her: "Let's make peace after Miss Xiang finishes her Fashion Week project."
Wen Yibai turned and left.
The originally harmonious scene suddenly became eerily flat. Looking at the hand that was frozen in mid-air, Xiang Jin mechanically brought the hand back and lowered his head.
The assistant considerately opened the conference room door for Wen Yibai.
Just then, a golden retriever suddenly rushed in, a cell phone dangling from its mouth. Its big, bright eyes scanned the conference room before locking onto Xiang Jin. Then, it darted over and started pawing at Xiang Jin's hand.
Xiang Jin rubbed his forehead.
This brat actually ran out on his own and even rushed into the conference room. Luckily, the meeting was already over, otherwise she would have been utterly culpable.
"Woof, woof..." The dog continued to paw at Xiang Jin, gesturing for her to look at her phone.
With a quick glance, Xiang Jin saw the words "Carnival" flashing on the screen. She quickly picked up her phone and smiled apologetically at the group of people: "I'm sorry, my dog has been a bit disobedient lately and has offended everyone. I'll apologize to you all another day."
Excuse me, excuse me.
With a forced smile, he quickly pulled the dog out of the meeting room.
The call has been disconnected. The screen shows a missed call and a message, both from Murong Xiao.
Open the message: Did you receive the flowers?
Xiang Jin turned off her phone screen.
She squatted down and sternly scolded the dog: "Didn't I tell you to wait for Mom in the meeting room? Why did you run out with your phone? You're so naughty, Mom doesn't like you anymore."
The dog was stunned.
It howled twice, raised a paw, and pointed at the phone.
Xiang Jin ignored it.
The dog felt even more aggrieved, let out two low howls, and pointed its paw at the phone again.
"Oh, you came out because you saw your dad's call and wanted to bring your mom a phone?"
"Woof woof!" The dog's big ears twitched, looking a little aggrieved.
"Oh, in that case, Mom doesn't like Dad either, because he's bothering me at work!"
Canna indica: "?!!"
The little dog's brain CPU burned out, and it stared blankly with its big eyes, wondering if something was wrong.
But can Mom be wrong? Mom can't be wrong, Mom is always right! So what exactly is wrong?
…………
"Isn't the dog cute? Its name is Canna." Xu Jianshen walked to Wen Yibai's side and followed Wen Yibai's gaze to the glass window on the right. A girl with a serene face was scolding a bewildered dog in a mock angry manner. The scene was surprisingly harmonious and adorable.
