Sun Meifen composed herself, coughed lightly, stepped forward, and slowly said:
"Zhixing, after all, we're all family. It wouldn't look good if things got too tense."
"Anyway, this order... it's a win-win situation! I see you're usually quite busy, how about we work together? We'll split the profits 50/50, I guarantee you won't lose out!"
Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at her with a meaningful smile.
"My aunt's idea is not bad."
Sun Meifen's eyes lit up, and her face lit up with joy.
“But I don’t agree to a 50/50 split!” Huo Zhixing said coldly.
Sun Meifen thought for a moment and then gave a dry laugh.
Since they've been able to discuss profit sharing, it means things have taken a turn for the better.
"Heh, Zhixing, then you tell me..."
“Aunt, you can participate in this project, but not as a partner. There is a person in charge of this project, and you just need to work for her.”
"What did you say?!" Sun Meifen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
“I’m telling you,” Huo Zhixing said with a smirk, “if you want to get into this project, come work for me, otherwise forget it!”
...
Sun Meifen and Fu Qingyan staggered out of the villa gate.
Despite the sweltering heat, they were both pale and covered in cold sweat.
Huo Zhixing gave them no chance; he wouldn't budge an inch on the issue of the order.
If you want to participate, you have to lower your expectations...
Sun Meifen clenched her fists tightly, biting her lips until they turned white, and took several deep breaths.
"Mom, what should we do?" Fu Qingyan asked anxiously. "Should we go back home and find a mentally challenged person to handle this?"
“It’s no use.” Sun Meifen knew Huo Zhixing all too well.
Fu Xiuyu, that old devil, gave birth to this little devil, who's just like his mother—ruthless to the point of being heartless. Don't even mention Fu Chengwei; even if Old Master Fu stood right in front of him, he wouldn't budge.
"Then...then we really have no choice but to accept it?" Fu Qingyan couldn't believe it.
"What else can we do?" Sun Meifen glanced at her impatiently.
"You're utterly useless and more likely to ruin everything!"
"Mom, if you're angry, don't take it out on me! What did I do wrong?"
"Who told you to say that Jiang Can has stretch marks on her stomach in the mall, in front of everyone? And you even said it in front of that lackey Li Xiaofan! Now look what happened, Huo Zhixing is holding a grudge, isn't he? If it weren't for this, he might have let it go!"
Fu Qingyan immediately started yelling, "Mom! Didn't you say you wanted to make this known to everyone...?"
"Couldn't you have taken a picture secretly? And then you could have posted it online?" Sun Meifen was furious at her lack of self-confidence and poked her head hard. "What's the point of having a brain? If you can't use it, just donate it! You're contributing to medicine!"
"mom!"
Fu Qingyan's eyes were brimming with tears, filled with both anxiety and anger.
The order was lost, but Huo Zhixing said that there was a dedicated person in charge of this project.
Isn't this obviously meant for Jiang Can?
Sun Meifen let out a long sigh of relief. After thinking it over, she realized that she had no better option than to agree to Huo Zhixing's condition.
"Mom, are you really going to make me work for Jiang Can?"
“Qingyan,” Sun Meifen said earnestly, “this is just a delaying tactic… Once we get into this project, we can slowly fight them!”
Fu Qingyan was extremely unwilling, but she had no other choice.
Sun Meifen was determined to get her revenge, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
but……
With Jiang Can in charge, can he really achieve perfection?
Fu Qingyan's lips curled into a cold smile.
Being in charge carries a heavy responsibility; those shareholders and veterans won't give you any special treatment just because you're pregnant.
On the contrary, they will hold you accountable for even the slightest mistake.
How much power can a pregnant woman have? It's easy to find fault with her!
Fu Qingyan composed herself and chuckled softly, "Yes, Mom, we have a long future ahead of us! I don't believe Jiang Can can always have such a smooth life."
"What are you trying to do?" Sun Meifen raised an eyebrow. "Qingyan, you absolutely mustn't cause trouble for her right now, understand? You need to act submissive, make her and Huo Zhixing lower their guard, and then..."
"Alright, I know!" Fu Qingyan interrupted her.
My mom is just too cautious.
But she didn't think so.
If we don't give Jiang Can a hard time from the start, things will probably get even more difficult in the future!
...
A few days later, Jiang Can arrived at the top-floor conference room of the Fu Group building on time.
Today is the routine meeting for the clothing project, and it's also her meeting with the entire project team.
The thought of being busy for the next few months filled Jiang Can with energy. She touched her belly and smiled involuntarily. The baby seemed to sense her mother's joy, stretching out its little feet to cheer her on.
"Don't worry, Mom won't tire herself out too much," she whispered. "Be good in there. In a few months, Mom will bring you a successful project as a gift, okay?"
"Young Madam, don't stand outside!" Li Xiaofan came up from behind and smiled at her. "The meeting is about to start, hurry up and go inside!"
Jiang Can nodded and strolled into the conference room.
This is the largest conference room in the entire Fu family business, and the venue is decorated very grandly. Representatives from all parties have arrived, and several well-known fashion designers will also be attending as observers.
Li Xiaofan handed the documents to Jiang Can and whispered, "Those are representatives from major fashion brands, and these are our people... Young Madam, please sit in the middle seat. There are name tags on the tables, and your title on your name tag is General Manager..."
Jiang Can looked up.
