The noisy conference room suddenly became quiet as the door was pushed open.
"Sorry to have waited so long, everyone. After discussions between the Chairman and I, we've finally decided to retain the Fu and Dong groups. We still have details to discuss individually. The remaining proposals haven't been approved yet, but don't be discouraged. We will be offering the design rights for AX Group's store in this shopping mall to the remaining companies that weren't shortlisted. We look forward to your submissions and cooperation."
The bombshell news that Su Yu dropped as soon as she came in shocked everyone. Everyone was still feeling frustrated about their design not being selected, but was moved by the sudden good news. Even though the cooperative project had changed from a shopping mall to a store, all AX Group stores around the world would broadcast live footage of each store during their store celebrations. If the store's design could be selected, it would not only bring financial profits, but their own design would also have the opportunity to be seen by the world.
The new industrial-style company stood up first and made it clear to Su Yu that they would bring new works to participate in the proposal of the next project, then nodded and left.
One after another, representatives from various companies left the scene, leaving only Fu's project manager and his secretary, Chen Xu, and the strange woman.
Su Yu first congratulated the two of them, then called out the project manager of Fu Group and left, leaving the accompanying secretary and Chen Xu representing Dong Group to wait again.
The project manager was one of Fu Linxiao's confidants in the group, on par with Lin Cong. He already knew that this proposal was for a purpose, and he didn't reveal any flaws in the sudden change. It was not until he was taken to Jiang Luoning's office and saw everyone there that he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was something wrong with his performance today.
"Mr. Fu, I made some mistakes today, please blame me!" The project manager knelt down and looked like he accepted his fate and punishment.
Before Fu Linxiao could say anything, Han Tianyu, who was standing beside him, was amused by the project manager's expression. "Linxiao, you look how demanding you usually are. As soon as you walked into the room, you asked for punishment without even saying anything!"
Fu Linxiao always has a gloomy expression when facing people in the company, and does not show any emotions.
"It has nothing to do with you. Just have a cup of tea here and leave. Just like before, you can say that the Fu family voluntarily withdrew."
The project manager didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded respectfully in agreement.
Elsewhere, in the conference room, a strange woman said to Chen Xu with a look of disdain, "Why are you putting on so much airs? It's just a project, right? You think everyone cares about you!"
Chen Xu was also a little confused about this sudden situation, but the person next to him did not deliberately lower his voice, so everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
"You'd better pray that what you just said won't be heard by someone with ulterior motives, or that it won't affect the final outcome, otherwise you won't even know how you died!"
Faced with Chen Xu's sudden attack, the woman was still a little afraid, but she still acted arrogantly as if she didn't care; but her subconsciously clenched palms betrayed her.
The door was pushed open again; Fu's project manager did not enter, but winked at the secretary, who then picked up the documents and went out; Su Yu's assistant looked at Chen Xu.
"Mr. Chen, please move to the president's office!"
Chen Xu stood up immediately after hearing this. The woman next to him wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Chen Xu's angry look. The woman could only sit back in her original place. With the glass door closing in the huge conference room, she was the only one left.
He took a quick glance outside and saw no one was outside the door, so he took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call.
"Hello~ Auntie,"
The voice coming from the mobile display was so coquettish that it made Ah Xing and Lu Zifan shiver.
"It's me."
"Well, it's over! But that CEO called Brother Xu away alone again!" There was a hint of coquettishness in his words, and for some reason, the people in the CEO's office who were watching the surveillance footage felt very disgusted.
But through these few conversations, Jiang Luoning and others learned that the person who was calling on the phone should be Mrs. Dong, otherwise she would not be so concerned about this project.
The woman in the picture was still on the phone. The door of Jiang Luoning's office was pushed open and Chen Xu was led in by his assistant. Just as he was about to ask something, Ah Xing made a gesture of silence at him. Only then did Chen Xu realize that everyone was listening to what the woman was saying on the phone.
"I don't know either. The people from the Fu family were just called away. But they have already left." When the woman's voice sounded again, Chen Xu also showed a very disgusted expression; perhaps because there were no outsiders here, his disgust this time was not concealed at all.
"I know, Auntie, but Brother Xu doesn't seem very satisfied with me!"
"I just complained a few times, and he got angry and even yelled at me!" This was an unexpected complaint. Chen Xu hadn't expected this woman to be so mindless and court her own death. She was speaking ill of others on AX Group's territory, and she was still looking for someone to take charge? She was really asking for trouble!
Before everyone could come back to their senses after being shocked by the woman's words, they heard the girl repeating everything that had just happened to the person opposite her. However, she was quite honest, including her dangerous remarks, which were all blurted out without any concealment.
I don't know how the other party would react after hearing this retelling, but from the woman's gradually stiff expression, I can tell that she wanted to complain but was scolded, and the scolding must have been very harsh, otherwise how to explain this shit-eating expression; in the end, the other party hung up this boring phone call first.
Ah Xing was speechless by the strange woman in the picture. He felt that he had finally found someone who was even less intelligent than him. After a while of giggling, he realized that no one paid any attention to him, so he covered his mouth in embarrassment.
