Chapter 343 Something Bad Happens
Xiao Tiantian frowned, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "I thought Mr. Li was unreliable before, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing. We can't let him succeed like this."
Lin Xiaoxia bit her lip and thought for a moment before saying, "Sister Gu, how about we contact Mr. Li first and find out what he is going to do?"
I nodded slightly. "That's one way, but I don't think he'll tell the truth. But we still have to try it. Sisi, go contact Mr. Li and tell him we want to talk to him about the follow-up cooperation. Find a reason to ask him out."
After Xu Sisi agreed, she quickly went out to make a phone call. While waiting, Xiao Tiantian, Lin Xiaoxia and I began to sort out all the documents and accounts of the studio's cooperation with Mr. Li's company, trying to find a solution.
After a while, Xu Sisi came back with a complicated look on her face: "Sister Gu, Mr. Li agreed to meet us tomorrow afternoon. But his tone was strange, and he seemed a little guilty and a little tough."
I clenched my fists. "Okay, I'll go meet him tomorrow. Before that, we have to be fully prepared. Xiao Tiantian, you continue to dig deeper to find out why Mr. Li keeps asking for payment besides his relationship with that woman.
Lin Xiaoxia, go check the current situation inside Mr. Li's company and see if there are any contradictions or loopholes that we can exploit. "The two of them took the order and left. I sat in the conference room, rubbing my solar plexus, and Jiang Yichen's figure involuntarily appeared in my mind again.
If only he were around, I thought to myself. With him around, I would always feel more at ease and have more confidence to face these difficult problems.
When I got home that night, my grandmother noticed that I looked tired and asked about my condition. I didn't want to make her worry, so I just said that there was a little trouble in the studio and it would be solved soon. Xiao Huai clung to me as usual, and I forced myself to play with her for a while. Looking at her innocent smile, I felt much less tired.
The next day, I dressed up carefully, put on a smart business suit, and went to the agreed place with Mr. Li with the documents in my hand.
On the way, I kept simulating various situations and responses that might occur when we met. When we arrived at the agreed coffee shop, Mr. Li was already sitting there. When he saw me come in, he forced an unnatural smile on his face. "Ms. Gu, long time no see, no, we just met yesterday." He greeted me hypocritically.
I responded with a smile and sat down opposite him, "Mr. Li, I called you here today because I want to talk to you about some plans for our subsequent cooperation.
However, I have also heard some rumors about your company recently, and I don't know whether they are true or not. "I calmly brought up the topic. Mr. Li's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, "Oh? What rumors? Miss Gu, don't believe those rumors easily."
I looked at him, my eyes gradually becoming sharper, "Mr. Li, didn't we agree on this last time? Aren't you afraid that your spouse will know what you did? Now you're regretting it after only one day."
The smile on Mr. Li's face completely disappeared. He leaned back in his chair and said coldly, "Mr. Gu, since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. The company is short of funds right now, and I have no choice. You have to return the money to me."
I calmly opened the file bag and took out a stack of documents. "Mr. Li, this is the contract we signed at the time. If you insist on recovering the money, you will have to pay a lot of liquidated damages."
Mr. Li's face turned pale instantly, and he slammed the table, "Mr. Gu, are you threatening me?" I looked at him calmly, "Mr. Li, this is not a threat, it's just that no one wants to go that far.
I suggest that we sit down and have a good talk to find a solution that is beneficial to both parties. For example, you can wait a little longer and we can give you some preferential conditions in the subsequent cooperation, so that it will be easier to cooperate later. "
Mr. Li was silent for a long time, his face changing from gloomy to bright. Finally, he sighed, "Ms. Gu, you are cruel enough. But what? This money must be taken back."
When I came out of the restaurant, I felt my back was soaked with sweat. This game has just begun. I don't know what secrets Mr. Li has behind him.
Back at the studio, Xu Sisi and the others anxiously surrounded me and asked about the situation. I briefly told them about my conversation with Mr. Li, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Gu, you are amazing. You can actually calm Mr. Li down." Xiao Tiantian praised. I smiled bitterly and shook my head. "This is only temporary. There is still a long way to go. Everyone should not relax and continue to pay close attention to Mr. Li's movements. We must be ready to deal with new situations at any time."
Days passed by, and in the process of dealing with Mr. Li, the business of the studio was also advancing with difficulty. In addition to work, I also had to worry about Jiang Yichen who was far away abroad, hoping that he would return soon.
At the same time, Jiang Yichen couldn't sleep well at night.
He sent me a message, "Are you there? Momo, the business talks here are going well. I'm sorry to trouble you with the housework."
My phone vibrated and I knew it was a message from him.
Quickly replied: "I know, it's nothing."
Jiang Yichen looked at the brief reply on his phone and couldn't help but frowning slightly. With his understanding of me, even through the screen, he could keenly capture the fatigue hidden in my words. After knowing each other for many years, my stubbornness was nowhere to be hidden in front of him. During Jiang Yichen's time abroad, although his business was going quite smoothly, he was always worried. There were many things at home that made him worry.
He typed another line: "I always feel that you are very tired recently. Are you hiding something from me? If you encounter difficulties at work, don't try to handle it alone. Talk to me."
After sending the message, Jiang Yichen sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, looking forward to my response.
At this time, I had just finished another round of discussion with my team on the Li incident. When I returned to the office and saw the message from Jiang Yichen, I felt a warm current in my heart. However, I didn't want to distract Jiang Yichen from his overseas job, so after a little hesitation, I replied, "It's really nothing, just go about your business, everything is stable at home."
"Didn't Lin Nan solve it?"
"It was resolved, but he suddenly changed his mind."
Jiang Yichen looked at my reply and sighed helplessly. He secretly made up his mind to return to China as soon as this business was completed. Here, I put down my phone, rubbed my sore eyes, and planned to continue working. At this moment, Xu Sisi hurried into the office, her face full of panic.
"Sister Momo, something terrible is happening! It seems that Mr. Li has made some new moves.
