After leaving AX Group, Chen Xu and the woman did not return to the Dong family, but went straight to the Dong Group.
Compared to the Jiang and Fu companies, which were located in the center of the imperial capital, the Dong company was relatively far away. However, Mrs. Dong, who had received the news long ago, had been waiting in front of the building with shareholders and reporters for a long time.
The car stopped, Chen Xu got out of the driver's seat and walked directly towards the crowd, ignoring the woman who was still holding the shelf and waiting for him to open the door in the passenger seat. Until Chen Xu was almost at the door of the company, the woman hurriedly got out of the car and chased after him.
As they approached the building, the sound of cameras clicking and flashes of light kept flashing. The woman thought that her hesitation had been blocked by the reporters and that she couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard she tried.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that the cooperation with AX Group has been reached. Is this true?"
"Mr. Chen, are you really the sole representative for this project? Will the project leader be replaced later?"
"Excuse me, since you are here on behalf of the Dong family, does this mean that you are really the next heir to the Dong family as rumored by the outside world?"
The reporters' microphones moved closer to the man, and the questions they asked were sharper and sharper. Chen Xu did not answer along the way. When he arrived in front of Mrs. Dong, he just nodded slightly to show respect.
"Everyone, I think you all have many questions about the cooperation between Dong Corporation and AX Group. Please be patient. Chen Xu just returned and is a little tired. We will hold a press conference in the first floor lobby of Dong Corporation in an hour to explain the details. Since this is a temporary arrangement, there will be no restrictions on visiting media!"
Mrs. Dong showed a slightly distressed look and pulled Chen Xu to her side. Her considerate look made people praise her for the love she showed to her child as an adoptive mother.
Chen Xu's expression remained normal. He continued to cooperate with the woman in front of the camera, pretending to be a loving mother and son.
After receiving the confirmed news, the reporters began to contact their own media, and some even had their live broadcast equipment ready on the way. Mrs. Dong looked around and took in all the reactions of the people present. Of course, she had already arranged her own live broadcast media and reporters in the lobby on the first floor. After all, for her, the success of this cooperation would help her position in the imperial capital rise further.
Back in the office, the assistants and secretaries all left; but the woman showed no sign of leaving. Chen Xu looked at Mrs. Dong with a look of disdain. Mrs. Dong noticed but still tried to smooth things over, saying, "Xu'er, I know Jiaxue had a fever today and said some bad things, but at least it didn't affect the outcome, did it? Don't be angry with her anymore!"
"Mother, please don't forget that this is just a verbal promise and there's no substantive contract signed. Before the project description, President Su said that the real-time monitoring of that conference room was on. If she later checks the video content after she left and hears Dong Jiaxue's remarks, and it affects the final cooperation, then I hope Mother won't blame me too!"
Chen Xu was not surprised by Mrs. Dong's protection of the woman named Dong Jiaxue. He had discovered during their interactions over the past few days that Dong Jiaxue was not so arrogant and domineering when she first arrived, but rather very cautious. It was Mrs. Dong's tolerance and preference for women over the past few days that led to her daring to speak so recklessly regardless of the occasion today. The woman had already determined that no matter what happened, Mrs. Dong would support her and make decisions for her.
Perhaps because Chen Xu mentioned that the contract hadn't been signed yet, Mrs. Dong's expression became visibly displeased. She turned to look at Dong Jiaxue, who was standing aside, not knowing what she was about to face. "Jiaxue! You really went too far today. If this cooperation is lost because of your outrageous words and lies, you don't need to stay here anymore. Go back to where you came from!"
Dong Jiaxue never expected that Mrs. Dong, who had just clearly decided not to pursue the matter, would suddenly change her attitude and even drive her away.
"Aunt Dong, yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I just can't stand the way they look!" Dong Jiaxue saw this and quickly apologized, but her words still implicitly mocked AX Group's behavior.
Chen Xu, who was watching the show on the side, was completely amused by Dong Jiaxue's pretentious appearance and her ignorant words. He sneered and continued to add fuel to the fire of Mrs. Dong, wanting to make this annoying woman suffer.
"Oh, you can't stand it? What qualifications do you have to dislike it! In his eyes, any group in the imperial capital is not worth mentioning, so who are you?"
After hearing this, Dong Jiaxue looked unconvinced and wanted to continue arguing with Chen Xu; but before she could open her mouth, Chen Xu's bombshell news extinguished Mrs. Dong's partiality.
"Mother, you might not know this yet! The reason we were able to reach this cooperation is because AX Group requires that the designer be personally responsible for the follow-up and completion of the entire project. However, Fu's designer is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She didn't want to be too involved, so she voluntarily withdrew. That's why we were able to reach this cooperation so smoothly!"
Mrs. Dong was completely unaware of this. Chen Xu had only informed her over the phone that the deal had been reached, with the contract signed and a press conference to be held in three days. This unexpected twist in the process had taken her by surprise. This meant that Dong wasn't the only option for AX Group on this project. If Dong Jiaxue's comments in the meeting room had offended Su Yu or the chairman behind the scenes, they could easily choose to partner with Fu and scrap the designer's proposal. The more Mrs. Dong thought about it, the more terrified she felt.
"Dong Jiaxue! Come over here and apologize to your brother Chen Xu! If you don't get her forgiveness, or if you make any mistakes, you will have nothing to do with our Dong family from now on! Don't think that just because I treated you well before, you can do whatever you want!"
