Back at the company, Li Xia began preparing for her collaboration with Xu Chen. She practically rushed to Wu Qianqian's dressing room, and upon opening the door, she found Wu Qianqian sitting sullenly in front of the makeup mirror.
"What's wrong? My little princess, did someone bully you?" Upon seeing this, Li Xia dismissed everyone else and went to comfort her.
Wu Qianqian nodded, wiped away her tears, and said, "Sister Xia, there are haters attacking me online, saying that I'm uneducated and have low cultural literacy."
Li Xia smiled. "Qianqian, what do you want to do?"
“Send them a lawyer’s letter! Although I may not be highly educated, my educational background is my personal privacy and should not be discussed.”
"No, please don't. Even negative publicity is still publicity, Qianqian. Don't lose your temper because of a few haters. If you do, you'll be playing right into their hands, understand?"
Wu Qianqian nodded, "I understand, Sister Xia."
"Sweetie, after filming this movie, I'll take you to relax. Shall we go to Alian Ball? Or Dibai? Either way is fine." Seeing that Wu Qianqian listened to her advice, Li Xia felt very gratified. She replied to her phone messages as she left the dressing room, but only for a second before she pushed the door open and went back in.
"Sister Xia, is something the matter?"
"I was so busy comforting you, but I have to tell you, I've found an opportunity to collaborate with Liren Pharmaceuticals!" Li Xia exclaimed excitedly.
"Sis, you mean that face mask we've been using?"
“Yes, yes.” Then Li Xia stepped forward and carefully examined Wu Qianqian’s face. “Look, it hasn’t been long, and your skin has improved so much! Let’s cooperate, Qianqian. The quality and effectiveness of this company’s products are unquestionable. As long as we cooperate, it will definitely be a win-win situation.”
Wu Qianqian certainly knew about the effectiveness of this face mask. "Yes, sis, it's really good, but..."
"Are you worried that President Wang won't agree? I'll talk to him." Li Xia patted Wu Qianqian's shoulder, giving her a promise. This opportunity was excellent; Liren Pharmaceutical had already achieved great success offline and on short video platforms, and this was just the final push. Qianqian, in turn, could gain a reputation for supporting domestic cosmetics.
Wu Qianqian nodded. "Sister Xia, you're so kind."
"Sister Xia will always be your strong support. Don't worry, come with me tomorrow to meet the other party and discuss the details of the cooperation."
After finishing her conversation, Li Xia left the room and headed straight for the elevator to discuss the cooperation between Wu Qianqian and Liren Pharmaceutical with Wang Tianfu. At this time, Wang Tianfu had not yet left the company.
"Hello, Mr. Wang." Li Xia greeted him as soon as she entered the room.
"Oh, Li Xia, what's up?" Wang Tianfu, his eyes glued to the computer, waved his hand, gesturing for Li Xia to sit down. As an employee, Li Xia naturally understood her boss's gesture, and quietly sat down to the side, waiting for Wang Tianfu to finish his work.
Half an hour later, Wang Tianfu finally looked away from the computer screen.
"What is it? Tell me."
"Mr. Wang, have you heard of Liren Pharmaceutical?"
"Get to the point." Wang Tianfu pressed the small bell on the table. A moment later, a secretary carrying a cigar box pushed open the door and entered. After cutting and lighting the cigars for Wang Tianfu, the secretary immediately left the room.
"Recently, my colleagues have been using a cosmetic product called Liren Facial Mask, and the results are very good. It's also quite popular on short video platforms. I took the initiative to learn more about it yesterday, and they expressed interest in collaborating with me."
"good."
"Oh? Oh, okay, Mr. Wang, I'll take Qianqian to meet with them tomorrow to discuss the details of the cooperation," Li Xia said, unable to hide her excitement.
"I'll lead the team, and we'll discuss it together tomorrow. Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go now."
"Um."
The next day, the group officially met at the pharmaceutical factory. In Wang Tianfu's view, if it weren't for helping his girlfriend and fighting for the rights of his star, he would never have stepped into such a small pharmaceutical factory. Even if the other party really had the potential as Li Xia said, the company and his employees would definitely have to put in more effort in the early stages.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, it's an honor to meet you." Li Cheng greeted Wang Tianfu as he approached. Wang Tianfu felt the man looked familiar, but due to his dissatisfaction with the cooperation, he only glanced at him and then paid no more attention. The two shook hands, but Xu Chen hadn't even had a chance to shake hands with Wang Tianfu before he entered the office building. Li Cheng was somewhat displeased.
"Director Li, we're here today to formally discuss the details of the contract with you, hoping to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement," Li Xia said first. Wang Tianfu nodded, deciding to let Li Xia take the lead first, and then he would make the final decision.
"Tell me your terms first?" Li Cheng looked at Wang Tianfu and then said.
Xu Chen watched the group go back and forth, feeling he couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he simply muted himself and lit a cigarette, taking on the role of a waiter. Then, Wang Tianfu did something that surprised Xu Chen: he pointed to his water glass with his cigar, without saying a word, as if instructing Xu Chen to pour him some water.
"Arrogant and conceited." Li Cheng's anger intensified. He didn't believe Wang Tianfu hadn't heard Xu Chen's identity from Li Xia. "It's like he doesn't take us seriously, trying to intimidate me. There's nothing to talk about, just see him out." Li Cheng thought to himself. Then he called his secretary.
Just as Li Xia was about to elaborate on her terms, Li Cheng's secretary entered the office and said to Li Xia and Wang Tianfu, "Please." Li Xia was bewildered. Why was she being asked to leave? What had she done wrong? She hadn't even had a chance to explain her terms further. Wang Tianfu looked at Li Cheng and shook his head. "He's still young, lacking composure and patience." He then led Li Xia out of the office. Wu Qianqian, who was in the car, watched the two of them get out.
"So fast?"
"I don't know, it's like they're deliberately trying to get rid of us," Li Xia explained.
"Alright, let's go back to the company." Wang Tianfu stopped the two from talking further, and the three of them walked away.
"Boss Xu, you actually poured him tea?" Li Cheng asked doubtfully. With Xu Chen's status, even his father's generation probably wouldn't dare to do that, let alone an entertainment company boss. Xu Chen smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? He's just used to being a boss. Haitian Entertainment is a domestic giant, it's normal for them to look down on us."
"I don't know how he got to this point. He's so narrow-minded and arrogant." Li Cheng recalled Wang Tianfu's behavior back then, which resembled that of a child deliberately throwing a tantrum. Xu Chen was silent for a moment before continuing, "Alright, let's focus on managing things first. Forget about increasing the hype."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Boss Xu."
